DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The following are specific embodiments of the present application and further describe the technical solutions of the present application in conjunction with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments. In the following description, specific details such as specific configurations and components are provided only to help a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, in order to be clear and concise, the description of known functions and structures is omitted.

[0045] It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0046] The present application provides an automatic discharging device and method of effect cylinders, which can be used to discharge effect cylinders of a cylinder cake and then load them into a launching cylinder or a transfer mold of fireworks. In some technical solutions, the effect cylinders discharged by the automatic discharging device are directly loaded into the launching cylinder of fireworks. In other technical solutions, the effect cylinders discharged by the automatic discharging device are first loaded into the material holes of the transfer mold, and then transferred to the launching cylinder of fireworks by the transfer mold.

[0047] The effect cylinders of fireworks include inner cylinders of fireworks and flute sound cylinders. The inner cylinders can produce various effects, such as colorful colors and various sounds; the flute sound cylinder is a sound producing component in fireworks specially used to produce special sound effects, which produces sharp whistling or howling sound through high-speed airflow vibration. A plurality of effect cylinders are bundled together by a ribbon to form a cylinder cake, and a typical cylinder cake is hexagonal. Referring to Figure 1 , the cylinder cake 50 includes a plurality of effect cylinders 51 and a ribbon 52, and the effect cylinders 51 are combined together by the ribbon 52 to form a hexagonal cylinder cake 50.

[0048] Referring to Figures 2-9 , the automatic loading and filling device of effect cylinders includes a conveying assembly 10, a material distributing structure 20, a feeding assembly 30, and a loading assembly 40. In some embodiments, the automatic discharging device of effect cylinders further includes a loading conveying line 60; the loading conveying line 60 is used to convey the cylinder cake 50; and the loading assembly 40 is used to load the cylinder cake 50 conveyed by the loading conveying line 60 into the moving material frame 31.

[0049] The conveying assembly 10 has a conveying table 11 capable of vertically placing the effect cylinder 51, and is capable of driving the effect cylinder 51 on the conveying table 11 to move forward to form an aggregation area S of the effect cylinder 51 at a position close to the front of the conveying table 11.

[0050] The material distributing structure 20 is arranged on the conveying table 11 and close to the front of the conveying table 11; the material distributing structure 20 has a plurality of material distributing channels 21; and the plurality of material distributing channels 21 are used to discharge the effect cylinder 51 on the conveying table 11.

[0051] The feeding assembly 30 comprises a moving frame 31 and a first driving mechanism 32. The moving frame 31 is located above the conveying table 11. The moving frame 31 has a first opening side 311 and a second opening side 312 opposite to each other. The first driving mechanism 32 is configured to drive the moving frame 31 to move between a first position and a second position. The first position is located outside the gathering area of the effect cylinder 51, and the second position is located inside the gathering area of the effect cylinder 51.

[0052] The loading assembly 40 is configured to load the effect cylinder 51 of the cylinder cake 50 into the moving frame 31. Referring to Figure 3 The feeding conveying line 60 is configured to convey the cylinder cake 50 to the loading assembly 40. In some embodiments, the feeding conveying line 60 can be a belt conveyor, which is configured to continuously convey the cylinder cake 50. When the cylinder cake 50 reaches a position close to the loading assembly 40, the loading assembly 40 is configured to transfer the cylinder cake 50 into the moving frame 31.

[0053] Referring to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the loading assembly 40 comprises a clamping mechanism 41, a pushing mechanism 42, and a second driving mechanism 43. The clamping mechanism 41 is configured to clamp the cylinder cake 50 from the annular side of the cylinder cake 50. When the cylinder cake 50 on the clamping mechanism 41 is aligned with the moving frame 31, the pushing mechanism 42 is configured to push the effect cylinder 51 on the clamping mechanism 41 downward, so that the effect cylinder 51 is separated from the ribbon 52 and enters the moving frame 31. The second driving mechanism 43 is configured to drive the clamping mechanism 41 to move. In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 41 and the pushing mechanism 42 are both mounted on the second driving mechanism 43, and the pushing mechanism 42 and the clamping mechanism 41 move synchronously in a relative position. In some embodiments, the pushing mechanism 42 is mounted on a position other than the second driving mechanism 43.

[0054] The second driving mechanism 43 is a moving mechanism, which is configured to drive the clamping mechanism 41 to move in one or more directions. The second driving mechanism 43 can comprise one or more driving devices, such as a belt device, a pneumatic cylinder, a linear module, etc. Under the driving of the second driving mechanism 43, the clamping mechanism 41 can move to a position above the feeding conveying line 60 to clamp the cylinder cake. After the clamping mechanism 41 clamps the cylinder cake, the clamping mechanism 41 moves to a position above the moving frame 31, and aligns the cylinder cake 50 with the moving frame 31. At this time, the pushing mechanism 42 pushes the effect cylinder 51 on the clamping mechanism 41 downward, so that the effect cylinder 51 is separated from the ribbon 52 and enters the moving frame 31. Specifically, during the downward movement of the effect cylinder 51 into the moving frame 31, the ribbon 52 is blocked and cannot move downward together with the effect cylinder 51, and the effect cylinder 51 and the ribbon 52 are separated from each other.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, when the pushing mechanism 42 pushes the effect cartridge 51 on the clamping mechanism 41 into the moving frame 31, the moving frame 31 can block the strap 52 of the cartridge cake 50 to make it separate from the effect cartridge 51. Referring to Figure 4 , the moving frame 31 is hexagonal, which is suitable for the shape of the cartridge cake 50, and has opposite first and second opening sides 311 and 312; when the loading assembly 40 loads the effect cartridge 51 of the cartridge cake 50 into the moving frame 31 from the second opening side 312 downward, the strap 52 is blocked by the moving frame 31, thereby separating from the effect cartridge 51.

[0056] The first driving mechanism 32 is used to drive the moving frame 31 to move between a first position and a second position; the first position is located outside the gathering area of the effect cartridge 51, and the second position is located inside the gathering area of the effect cartridge 51. The first driving mechanism 32 is a moving mechanism that can drive the moving frame 31 to move in one or more directions, and can include one or more driving devices, such as a belt device, a cylinder, a linear module, etc.

[0057] The effect cartridges 51 on the conveying table 11 gather at the front of the conveying table 11, forming a gathering area S. The distribution structure 20 is also located at the front of the conveying table 11, and as the effect cartridges 51 on the conveying table 11 move to gather at the front, the multiple distribution channels 21 of the distribution structure 20 distribute the effect cartridges 51 out. The multiple distribution channels 21 of the distribution structure 20 output a row of effect cartridges at a time, and a row of effect cartridges falls into a launch cartridge or a transfer mold in an upright state.

[0058] The conveying assembly 10 has a conveying table 11, and can drive the effect cartridges 51 on the conveying table 11 to move to gather at the front, so as to form a gathering area S of the effect cartridges 51 at a position close to the front of the conveying table 11. In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 10 is a belt mechanism, and the conveying table 11 is a belt surface of the belt mechanism; as the belt mechanism operates, the effect cartridges on the belt move forward, gather at the front, and form the gathering area S.

[0059] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 10 is a vibrating feeder 12; the vibrating feeder 12 has a vibrator that applies vibration to the conveying table 11 to make the effect cartridges 51 on the conveying table 11 move forward.

[0060] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 10 comprises the vibrating feeder 12, the belt mechanism 13, and the third platform 14; the vibrating feeder 12 comprises the first platform 121 and a vibrator; the vibrator is configured to apply vibration to the first platform 121 so as to move the effect cartridges 51 on the first platform 121 forward; the third platform 14 is fixedly installed; the belt mechanism 13 has a second platform 131 constituted by a belt surface, and the second platform 131 connects the first platform 121 and the third platform 14; when the belt mechanism 13 is in operation, the second platform 131 conveys the effect cartridges 51 forward. The conveying table 11 is assembled by the first platform 121, the second platform 131, and the third platform 14. Further, the shunt passage 21 extends from the second platform 131 to the third platform 14 and passes through the third platform 14 to the edge position of the third platform 14.

[0061] Due to the continuous operation of the vibrator and the belt mechanism 13, the effect cartridges can be continuously pushed to the third platform 14. In the embodiment, the first platform 121 and the third platform 14 can be made of metal plates. In this structure, the effect cartridges are jointly driven by the vibrating feeder 12 and the belt mechanism 13, and the belt mechanism 13 can quickly push the effect cartridges to the third platform 14, so that the effect cartridges are sufficiently supplied and gathered to move forward, and are not prone to dumping, which facilitates the subsequent smooth filling. In addition, the belt mechanism 13 can more flexibly adjust the conveying speed of the effect cartridges. Further, a fixed support plate is arranged in the belt mechanism 13; the support plate is arranged below the second platform 131 to support the belt part constituting the second platform 131. It should be understood that, in this structure, the second platform 131 is constituted by a belt, and the support plate is configured to support the belt part on which the second platform 131 is arranged.

[0062] When the device is in operation, the first driving mechanism 32 drives the moving frame 31 to move between the first position and the second position. When the moving frame 31 is located at the first position, the first opening side 311 of the moving frame 31 faces downward and is close to the conveying table 11, and the second opening side 312 of the moving frame 31 faces upward; the filling assembly 40 fills the effect cartridges 51 of the cartridge cake 50 into the moving frame 31 from the second opening side 312 downward.

[0063] When the first driving mechanism 32 drives the moving frame 31 to move from the first position to the second position, the moving frame 31 pushes the effect cartridges 51 in the moving frame 31 to move forward along the conveying table 11 into the gathering area of the effect cartridges 51; as the moving frame 31 enters the gathering area of the effect cartridges 51, the moving frame 31 is surrounded by the effect cartridges 51 in the gathering area.

[0064] When the first driving mechanism 32 drives the moving frame 31 to move from the second position to the first position, the moving frame 31 first moves upward to release the effect cartridges 51 in the moving frame 31.

[0065] When the device is in operation, the inner cylinder cake is conveyed by the feeding conveying line 60 to a position close to the loading assembly 40, and when the mobile frame 31 is located at the first position, the loading assembly 40 is used to load the effect cylinder 51 of the cylinder cake 50 into the mobile frame 31. Then, the first driving mechanism 32 drives the mobile frame 31 to move from the first position to the second position, and the mobile frame 31 pushes the effect cylinder 51 inside to move forward along the conveying table 11 into the gathering area S of the effect cylinder 51, and the mobile frame 31 is surrounded by the effect cylinder 51 of the gathering area. Then, the first driving mechanism 32 drives the mobile frame 31 to move upward first to release the effect cylinder 51 inside, and then moves backward and downward, and returns to the first position. At this time, the feeding assembly 30 completes a feeding. Based on the above description, it can be understood that the automatic feeding device for the effect cylinder provided in the application can realize automatic feeding, has high automation degree, and can realize separation of man and machine, and is safer in production.

[0066] The embodiment of the application further provides an automatic feeding method for an effect cylinder, which is applied to the automatic feeding device for the effect cylinder.

[0067] Step 101, control the conveying assembly 10 to operate, and move the effect cylinders 51 on the conveying table 11 to the front part to form a gathering area of the effect cylinders 51 close to the front part of the conveying table 11.

[0068] Step 102, control the first driving mechanism 32 to drive the mobile frame 31 to move to the first position.

[0069] Step 103, control the loading assembly 40 to load the effect cylinder of the cylinder cake 50 from the second opening side 312 into the mobile frame 31.

[0070] Step 104, control the first driving mechanism 32 to drive the mobile frame 31 to move from the first position to the second position, so that the mobile frame 31 pushes the effect cylinder 51 inside to move forward along the conveying table 11 into the gathering area of the effect cylinder 51; and as the mobile frame 31 enters the gathering area of the effect cylinder 51, the mobile frame 31 is surrounded by the effect cylinder 51 of the gathering area.

[0071] Step 105, control the first driving mechanism 32 to drive the mobile frame 31 to move from the second position to the first position; and in the process of moving the mobile frame 31 from the second position to the first position, the mobile frame 31 moves upward first to release the effect cylinder 51 inside.

[0072] When the device is in operation, the inner cylinder cake is conveyed to the position close to the loading assembly 40 by the feeding conveying line 60, and when the movable material frame 31 is located at the first position, the loading assembly 40 is used to load the effect cylinder 51 of the cylinder cake 50 into the movable material frame 31. Then, the first driving mechanism 32 drives the movable material frame 31 to move from the first position to the second position, and the movable material frame 31 pushes the effect cylinder 51 in the movable material frame 31 to move forward along the conveying table 11 into the gathering area S of the effect cylinder 51, and the movable material frame 31 is surrounded by the effect cylinder 51 in the gathering area. Then, the first driving mechanism 32 drives the movable material frame 31 to move upward to release the effect cylinder 51 in the movable material frame 31, and then moves backward and downward to return to the first position. Thus, the feeding assembly 30 completes one feeding. Based on the above description, it can be understood that the automatic feeding method of the effect cylinder provided in the application can realize automatic feeding, has high automation degree, and can realize separation of man and machine, and is safer in production.
