Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to processing equipment, and more specifically to a processing equipment for festival lights. Background Technology

[0002] Festive light strings, such as Christmas lights and decorative light strips, are widely used decorations with high production demand and a strong reliance on automated production equipment. Traditional festive light processing equipment, especially the process of installing individual light heads onto electrical wires, initially relied entirely on manual labor for inserting, fixing, and welding the light heads. This method was extremely inefficient, costly, and due to human eye fatigue and individual differences, product quality varied significantly, including inconsistent installation angles and insertion depths, failing to meet the demands of large-scale production. With the development of automation technology, semi-automated lighting machines emerged. These machines typically use vibratory feeders, robotic arms, or cylinders to grip the light heads and press them onto wires at pre-set intervals. This greatly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs. Traditional equipment usually assumes all operations are successful after the light head installation is complete. However, in reality, during high-speed production, various factors can lead to poor installation, and there is no way to directly detect this. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0008] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0009] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown below, the structure and function of a festival light processing equipment will be described in detail. A festival light processing device includes a device support 11, a connecting mechanism 5 fixedly connected to the device support 11, a light strip 61 placed on the connecting mechanism 5, a feeding mechanism 7 fixedly connected to the device support 11, a plurality of festival lights 81 placed on the feeding mechanism 7, and an installation mechanism 9 fixedly connected to the device support 11 for mounting the festival lights 81 on the light strip 61. When using, such as Figure 1 As shown, the light strip 61 to be installed is placed on the joining mechanism 5, and the light strip 61 is energized. Multiple festival lights 81 to be installed are placed on the feeding mechanism 7, and the feeding mechanism 7 transports the festival lights 81 to the installation position. The installation mechanism 9 removes the festival lights 81 from the feeding mechanism 7 and inserts them into the light strip 61. The installation position of the festival lights 81 is detected by energizing the light strip 61. If the festival lights 81 are installed in the correct position, they will light up. If the festival lights 81 are not installed correctly, they will not light up. The joining mechanism 5 is used to fix the festival lights 81 and the light strip 61. Then the light strip 61 is repositioned, and the feeding mechanism 7 moves multiple festival lights 81 to the installation position, completing the installation of multiple festival lights 81. like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown below, the replacement of the light strip at position 61 will be explained in detail. The device support 11 is rotatably connected to both the front and rear ends of a rotating shaft I21. Each rotating shaft I21 is slidably connected to two rotating wheels I22. The rotating wheels I22 are connected to a positioning pin I by a thread. The device support 11 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 23 that drives the rotating shaft I21 to rotate. The device bracket 11 has two telescopic mechanisms I33 fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends. The telescopic ends of the four telescopic mechanisms I33 are rotatably connected to two rotating shafts II31. Each rotating shaft II31 is slidably connected to two rotating wheels II32. The rotating wheels II32 are connected to positioning pins II by threads. The eight rotating wheels II32 are located on the upper side of the eight rotating wheels I22 respectively; When using, such as Figure 1 As shown, the light strip 61 to be installed is passed sequentially between the two rotating wheels I22 and two rotating wheels II32 located on the front side and between the two rotating wheels I22 and two rotating wheels II32 located on the rear side. The side of the light strip 61 is pressed between the rotating wheels II32 and rotating wheels I22. The drive motor 23 is started. The drive motor 23 is preferably a servo motor. The output shaft of the drive motor 23 starts to rotate. The output shaft of the drive motor 23 drives the rotating shaft I21 to rotate. The rotating shaft I21 drives the rotating wheel I22 to rotate. When the rotating wheel I22 rotates, it pushes the light strip 61 to move, so that the light strip 61 passes over the upper side of the coupling mechanism 5 and changes the installation position. Furthermore, the telescopic mechanism I33 is activated. The telescopic mechanism I33 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism I33 drives the rotating shaft II31 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the rotating shaft II31. The rotating shaft II31 drives the rotating wheel II32 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the rotating wheel II32, so that the rotating wheel II32 presses on the side of the light strip 61, thereby fixing the position of the light strip 61. Furthermore, the positions of rotating wheels I 22 and II 32 can be adjusted according to the width of the light strip 61, so that the positions of rotating wheels I 22 and II 32 adapt to the changes in the width of the light strip 61. By pushing rotating wheel I 22 to slide on rotating shaft I 21, and then rotating positioning pin I, so that the end of positioning pin I presses against rotating shaft I 21, thereby fixing the position of rotating wheel I 22. By pushing rotating wheel II 32 to slide on rotating shaft II 31, and then rotating positioning pin II, so that the end of positioning pin II presses against rotating shaft II 31, thereby fixing the position of rotating wheel II 32, thereby adjusting the positions of rotating wheels I 22 and II 32. Furthermore, in order to position the light strip 61 accurately during installation; Four telescopic mechanisms II 41 are fixedly connected to the device bracket 11. Each telescopic mechanism II 41 is fixedly connected to a telescopic mechanism III 42 at its telescopic end. Each telescopic mechanism III 42 is fixedly connected to a rotating bracket 43 at its telescopic end. Each rotating bracket 43 is rotatably connected to a limiting cone wheel 44. like Figure 1 As shown, the side of the light strip 61 passes between four limiting cone wheels 44. The diameter of the two sides of the limiting cone wheels 44 is larger than that of the middle of the limiting cone wheels 44, thus forming a certain limiting effect. The telescopic mechanism II 41 and telescopic mechanism III 42 are activated. The telescopic mechanism II 41 and telescopic mechanism III 42 can be hydraulic cylinders or electric push rods. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism II 41 drives the telescopic mechanism III 42 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the telescopic mechanism III 42. The telescopic mechanism III 42 drives the rotating bracket 43 to move up and down, and the rotating bracket 43 drives the limiting cone wheels 44 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting cone wheels 44 on the side of the light strip 61, thus adapting to the change in the thickness of the light strip 61. Furthermore, when the width of the light strip 61 changes, the telescopic mechanism III 42 is activated. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism III 42 drives the rotating bracket 43 to move. The rotating bracket 43 drives the limiting cone wheel 44 to move laterally, thereby adjusting the limiting position of the limiting cone wheel 44 on the light strip 61. Furthermore, the structure and function of the engagement mechanism 5 will be described in detail below; The joining mechanism 5 includes a telescopic mechanism IV 51, which is fixedly connected to the device bracket 11. A tray 52 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism IV 51. A sliding groove 53 is provided on the tray 52. ​​A telescopic mechanism V 54 is fixedly connected to the tray 52. ​​An inclined pressing block 55 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism V 54. The inclined pressing block 55 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 53. The tray 52 is used to support the bottom of the light strip 61, thereby preventing the light strip 61 from deforming when the festival light 81 is inserted into the light strip 61. The telescopic mechanism IV 51 is activated. The telescopic mechanism IV 51 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism IV 51 drives the tray 52 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the tray 52. like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown below, the structure of the light strip 61 will be described in detail. The light strip 61 is placed on the tray 52. ​​Two wires 62 are provided on the light strip 61 and pass through the light strip 61. Multiple sockets 63 are provided on the light strip 61, and the inner sides of the two wires 62 are exposed in the multiple sockets 63 respectively. like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown below, the structure of the feeding mechanism 7 will be described in detail. The feeding mechanism 7 includes a feeding bracket 71, which is fixedly connected to the device bracket 11. A blocking arc is fixedly connected to the feeding bracket 71, and a feeding plate 72 is rotatably connected to the blocking arc. A plurality of feeding slots 73 are provided on the feeding plate 72, one of which is located at the notch of the blocking arc. A power mechanism for driving the feeding plate 72 to rotate is fixedly connected to the feeding bracket 71. The power mechanism is preferably a servo motor. like Figure 10 As shown below, the structure of the festival light 81 will be described in detail. A festival light 81 is placed on the feeding trough 73. The bottom of the festival light 81 is provided with two pins 82. The festival light 81 is inserted into the feeding trough 73 through the two pins 82. like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown below, the structure and function of the installation mechanism 9 will be described in detail. The installation mechanism 9 includes a telescopic mechanism VI 91, which is fixedly connected to the device bracket 11. A telescopic mechanism VII 92 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism VI 91. A mounting frame 93 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism VII 92. A telescopic mechanism VIII 94 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 93. A mounting plate 95 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism VIII 94. A pad 96 is fixedly connected to the other side of the mounting frame 93. The pad 96 is made of elastic material and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 95. In use, place multiple festival lights 81 to be installed on the feeding tray 72, insert the two pins 82 of the festival lights 81 into the feeding slot 73, use the blocking arc to block the festival lights 81, start the power mechanism, the power mechanism drives the feeding tray 72 to rotate, so that the feeding tray 72 drives the festival lights 81 to rotate, move to the notch of the blocking arc, so that the festival lights 81 can be taken out horizontally from the feeding slot 73; When the festival light 81 moves to the installation position, that is, the notch that blocks the arc, the telescopic mechanism VI91 and telescopic mechanism VII92 are activated. The telescopic mechanism VI91 and telescopic mechanism VII92 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism VI91 drives the telescopic mechanism VII92 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the telescopic mechanism VII92. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism VII92 drives the mounting frame 93 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting frame 93, so that the mounting frame 93 moves to the upper side of the festival light 81. The telescopic mechanism VI91 is activated, so that the mounting frame 93 moves downward, so that the pad 96 covers the outside of the festival light 81 and clamps the festival light 81. The festival light 81 is taken out by activating the telescopic mechanism VI91 and telescopic mechanism VII92, and the pin 82 at the bottom of the festival light 81 is inserted into the socket 63 on the light strip 61. Furthermore, based on the thickness of the festival light 81, the telescopic mechanism VIII 94 is activated. The telescopic mechanism VIII 94 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism VIII 94 drives the mounting plate 95 to move, thereby adjusting the change in the relative distance between the two pads 96, thus adapting to the change in the model of the festival light 81. Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the two wires 62 on the light strip 61 are pre-energized, that is, one wire 62 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply and the other wire 62 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. Then, when the two pins 82 are inserted into the two sockets 63 respectively, the two pins 82 contact the two wires 62 respectively, thereby energizing the festival light 81 and making it light up, proving that the festival light 81 is installed in the designated position. If the festival light 81 does not light up, it means that it is not installed properly. Furthermore, after the festival light 81 is installed, i.e., after the two pins 82 are inserted into the two sockets 63 respectively, the installation mechanism 9 does not release the festival light 81 temporarily, but fixes and straightens the festival light 81, and activates the telescopic mechanism V54. The telescopic mechanism V54 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism V54 drives the inclined pressure block 55 to move, so that the inclined pressure block 55 moves laterally to squeeze the pins 82, causing the pins 82 to bend. The bottom of the light strip 61 can be provided with a groove for receiving the bent pins 82. The inclined pressure block 55 squeezes the pins 82, causing the pins 82 to deform, so that the festival light 81 is installed on the light strip 61. Then the installation mechanism 9 resets, the feeding mechanism 7 rotates to move the new festival light 81 to the installation position, the light strip 61 moves forward, and moves the new socket 63 to the installation position, and the process is repeated in sequence.
