Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of copper component conveying technology, specifically to a sorting and filling unloading mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] After copper is produced, it is usually processed into copper tubes, and these copper tubes are further processed to meet the needs of use.
[0003] When transporting copper pipes, some processes require the copper pipes to be placed vertically for transport to facilitate processing. Usually, a conveyor cylinder is fixedly installed on the conveyor line. The copper pipes are manually inserted into the conveyor cylinder. The conveyor cylinder can reduce the shaking of the copper pipes and stabilize their vertical placement.
[0004] The aforementioned technical conditions also have drawbacks. The manual placement of copper pipes can easily lead to hand and visual fatigue over time, increasing the workload for workers.
[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs a sorting and filling material feeding mechanism to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sorting and filling unloading mechanism, comprising a conveying cylinder for conveying copper tubes, an unloading cylinder for placing copper tubes, and a mounting frame. The unloading cylinder is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame and is located above the conveying cylinder. A blocking device is provided on the mounting frame, the blocking device comprising a movable seat, a contact plate, and an unloading plate. A cylinder is horizontally fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, and the telescopic shaft of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the movable seat. A movable hole is provided on the unloading cylinder, and a contact plate is slidably mounted on the movable hole. The movable seat moves towards the copper tube side by contacting the contact plate. A movable groove is provided on the movable seat, and a movable groove is provided on the contact plate. The moving block is located in the moving groove. When the moving seat moves away from the copper tube, the moving groove drives the moving block to move away from the copper tube. The dropping plate is fixedly installed on the moving seat. The dropping plate has a dropping hole. The dropping plate is located between the dropping cylinder and the conveying cylinder. Multiple copper tubes are placed in the dropping cylinder. When the contact plate abuts against the second copper tube from bottom to top, the dropping hole communicates with the dropping cylinder. At this time, the bottom copper tube falls into the conveying cylinder through the dropping hole. When the contact plate disengages from contact with the copper tube, the dropping hole is no longer communicated with the dropping cylinder. At this time, multiple copper tubes move downward until the bottom copper tube abuts against the dropping plate.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the conveying cylinder moves to the bottom of the dropping cylinder, the driving cylinder moves the moving seat toward the copper tube side, so that the dropping cylinder is connected with the dropping hole, and the copper tube falls into the conveying cylinder through the dropping hole. There is no need for manual placement of the copper tube, which reduces the labor force of workers.
[0008] Preferably, an abutment spring is horizontally fixed between the abutment plate and the movable seat.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact spring contacts the contact plate, which then presses against the copper tube to buffer the copper tube, prevents excessive compression of the copper tube, and protects the copper tube.
[0010] Preferably, a stabilizing plate is fixedly mounted on the movable seat, and the lower surface of the stabilizing plate is in contact with the abutment plate.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact plate is located below the stabilizing plate, which reduces the shaking of the contact plate when it moves, thus achieving the effect of stabilizing the contact plate.
[0012] Preferably, the mounting frame is equipped with a controller, which is electrically connected to the cylinder. An infrared sensor is fixedly installed on the unloading plate and is electrically connected to the controller. When the copper tube is in the conveying cylinder, the infrared sensor's beam is located above the copper tube. When the infrared sensor detects the copper tube for a longer than a set time, the controller controls the cylinder to stop driving.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the infrared sensor detects the copper tube for a longer period than the set time, the copper tube on the surface has not completely fallen into the conveying cylinder. The cylinder is then controlled to stop rotating in time, thus achieving the effect of timely detection of incorrect placement of the copper tube.
[0014] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects: when the conveying cylinder moves to the bottom of the dropping cylinder, the driving cylinder moves the moving seat toward the copper tube side, so that the dropping cylinder communicates with the dropping hole, and the copper tube falls into the conveying cylinder through the dropping hole, eliminating the need for manual placement of the copper tube and reducing the labor force of workers.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.
[0022] A sorting and filling unloading mechanism includes a conveying cylinder 1 for conveying copper tubes 13, an unloading cylinder 2 for placing copper tubes 13, and a mounting frame 3. The mounting frame 3 is equipped with a conveyor belt for conveying the conveying cylinder 1, and the conveying cylinder 1 is placed on the conveyor belt. The unloading cylinder 2 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 3 and is located above the conveying cylinder 1. The mounting frame 3 is equipped with a blocking device, which includes a movable seat 4, a contact plate 5, and an unloading plate 6. A cylinder 7 is horizontally fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 3, and the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 4. The movable seat 4 is located above the conveying cylinder 1. A movable hole 8 is horizontally opened on the unloading cylinder 2, and a contact plate 9 is slidably mounted on the movable hole 8.
[0023] The movable seat 4 has a movable groove 10, and the abutment plate 9 has a movable groove 10. The movable block is located in the movable groove 10, and an abutment spring 11 is fixedly installed between the abutment plate 9 and the movable seat 4. The discharge plate 6 is fixedly installed on the movable seat 4, and the discharge plate 6 has a discharge hole 12. The discharge plate 6 is located between the discharge cylinder 2 and the conveying cylinder 1. When no discharge is being performed, multiple copper tubes 13 are stacked in the discharge cylinder. At the same time, the discharge plate 6 blocks the opening on the lower side of the discharge cylinder 2 to prevent the bottom copper tube 13 from falling. When the conveying cylinder 1 is in position... When the material is below the discharge cylinder 2, the drive moving seat 4 moves towards the side closer to the copper tube 13. The contact spring 11 moves towards the contact plate 9 towards the copper tube 13, so that the contact plate 9 touches the second copper tube 13 from bottom to top. When the moving seat 4 moves to the maximum distance, the discharge hole 12 is connected to the discharge cylinder 2. At this time, the contact plate 9 presses against the copper tube 13, and the lowermost copper tube 13 falls into the conveying cylinder 1 through the discharge hole 12. No manual placement is required, which reduces the workload of the workers.
[0024] After the material is dropped, the cylinder 7 is driven to move the moving seat 4 away from the copper tube 13. At this time, the contact plate 9 is still in contact with the copper tube 13 under the contact spring 11 to prevent the copper tube 13 from falling immediately. When the moving seat 4 moves a certain distance, the groove wall of the moving groove 10 pushes the contact plate 9 away from the copper tube 13. When the contact plate 9 is separated from the copper tube 13, the dropping hole 12 is not connected to the dropping cylinder 2. Multiple copper tubes 13 move downward until the lowest copper tube 13 touches the dropping plate 6, ready for the next dropping. This cycle is repeated, and the process is fast and simple.
[0025] The contact spring 11 abuts against the contact plate 9, causing the contact plate 9 to press against the copper tube 13, thus buffering the copper tube 13 and preventing excessive compression of the contact plate 9, thereby protecting the copper tube 13. A stabilizing plate 14 is fixedly installed on the movable seat 4, with the lower surface of the stabilizing plate 14 in contact with the contact plate 9. The contact plate 9 is located below the stabilizing plate 14, reducing the shaking of the contact plate 9 when it moves, thereby stabilizing the contact plate 9.
[0026] A controller 15 is installed on the mounting frame 3, and the controller 15 is electrically connected to the cylinder 7. An infrared sensor 9 is fixedly installed on the unloading plate 6, and the infrared sensor 9 is electrically connected to the controller 15. An external power supply powers the controller 15 and the infrared sensor 9. When the copper tube 13 is in the conveying cylinder 1, the beam of the infrared sensor 9 is above the copper tube 13 and close to the upper surface of the copper tube 13. After the copper tube 13 falls into the conveying cylinder 1, if the infrared sensor 9 senses the copper tube 13 for a longer time than the set time, it indicates that the copper tube 13 is not accurately placed in the conveying cylinder 1. At this time, the controller 15 controls the cylinder 7 to stop driving, and timely controls the cylinder 7 to stop rotating, so as to detect the incorrect placement of the copper tube 13 in time and reduce the defect rate of subsequent processing.
[0027] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the conveying cylinder 1 is located below the dropping cylinder 2, when the driving moving seat 4 moves towards the side closer to the copper pipe 13, the abutting spring 11 abuts the abutting plate 9 towards the side of the copper pipe 13, so that the abutting plate 9 abuts against the second copper pipe 13 from bottom to top. When the moving seat 4 moves to the maximum distance, the dropping hole 12 is connected to the dropping cylinder 2. At this time, the abutting plate 9 presses against the copper pipe 13, and the lowermost copper pipe 13 falls into the conveying cylinder 1 through the dropping hole 12. No manual placement is required, which reduces the workload of the workers.
