[0033] In the above technical solution of the utility model, the feeding device optimizes its own structure to adopt at least two conveyor belts 321 for auxiliary feeding, and these conveyor belts 321 are arranged on the mounting bracket 31 in sequence along the vertical direction to control the height difference between two adjacent conveyor belts 321, so as to effectively adapt to FEP heat shrink tubes of different specifications, and the above conveyor belts 321 all extend along the feeding direction of the feeding wheel 2 to enhance the preload force of the FEP heat shrink tube feeding.

[0034] In actual use, the FEP heat shrink tube on the feeding wheel 2 can be fed into the conveying drive mechanism 3 for traction feeding by controlling the tension through the tension control mechanism, and the tension control mechanism is specifically controlled by the magnetic powder brake to control the rotation axis to control the tension during feeding and ensure uniform speed and force feeding; the FEP heat shrink tube can be specifically fed into the gap between two adjacent conveyor belts 321, so as to use the conveyor belt 321 on the conveying drive mechanism 3 for pre-tightening, thereby enhancing the feeding effect of the FEP heat shrink tube. In addition, considering the needs of different application situations, the operator can set the height of the conveyor belt 321 on the mounting bracket 31 according to the specific use requirements to adjust the position of the conveyor belt 321, so as to more reasonably convey the FEP heat shrink tube.

[0039] It can be seen that when the user needs to adjust the position of the transmission component 32 in the vertical height direction, the user can rotate the adjusting screw 34 to make the adjusting screw 34 rotate around its own rod axis. At this time, since the above-mentioned transmission component 32 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 34, the position of the adjusting screw 34 in the vertical height direction remains unchanged, so the transmission component 32 will move on the adjusting screw 34 and at the same time slide up and down along the extension direction of the above-mentioned slide rail 33.

[0048] Furthermore, in the feeding device described in the present invention, a guide rod 4, a first guide mechanism 5, a second guide mechanism 6 and a transmission drive mechanism 3 are sequentially arranged on the frame 1 along the feeding direction of the feeding wheel 2.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 , Embodiment 1 of the present utility model is:

[0050] A feeding device comprises a frame 1, a feeding wheel 2, a guide rod 4, a first guide mechanism 5, a second guide mechanism 6 and a transmission drive mechanism 3. The feeding wheel 2 is rotatably arranged on the frame 1.

[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in the present embodiment, the conveying drive mechanism 3 comprises a mounting bracket 31 and two conveying components 32, the mounting bracket 31 is arranged on the above-mentioned frame 1, and the above-mentioned two conveying components 32 are slidably arranged on the mounting bracket 31 along the vertical direction; wherein, each conveying component 32 is provided with a conveyor belt 321 and a motor 35 for driving the conveyor belt 321, the two conveyor belts 321 on the above-mentioned two conveying components 32 are extended along the feeding direction of the feeding wheel 2, and there is a height difference between the two adjacent conveyor belts 321, and the above-mentioned motor 35 is used to drive the conveyor belt 321 to rotate clockwise / counterclockwise along the feeding direction of the feeding wheel 2.

[0052] It should be pointed out that in this embodiment, the above-mentioned mounting bracket 31 is provided with a slide rail 33 and an adjusting screw 34, and the above-mentioned slide rail 33 and the adjusting screw 34 both extend in the vertical direction, and the two designed conveying components 32 are provided with slide grooves corresponding to the above-mentioned slide rail 33, so that the conveying component 32 can be slidably set on the slide rail 33.

[0053] Furthermore, it should be emphasized that, in the present embodiment, the transmission component 32 is also threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 34; when the user needs to adjust the position of the transmission component 32 in the vertical height direction, the user can rotate the adjusting screw 34 to allow the adjusting screw 34 to rotate around its own rod axis. At this time, since the transmission component 32 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 34, the position of the adjusting screw 34 in the vertical height direction remains unchanged, and therefore the transmission component 32 will move on the adjusting screw 34 and at the same time slide up and down along the extension direction of the slide rail 33.

[0054] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in the feeding device of this embodiment, on the frame 1, a guide rod 4, a first guide mechanism 5, a second guide mechanism 6, a transmission drive mechanism 3 and a receiving piece 7 are sequentially arranged along the feeding direction of the feeding wheel 2.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a guide hole 41 is provided on the guide rod 4 arranged on the frame 1, and the guide hole 41 is used for the FEP heat shrink tube to pass through, so as to guide the feeding direction of the FEP heat shrink tube. Therefore, the aperture of the above-mentioned guide hole 41 needs to be not less than the tube diameter of the FEP heat shrink tube.

[0056] Accordingly, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the first guide mechanism 5 includes a vertical plate 51 and a guide wheel 52. The vertical plate 51 is arranged on the frame 1, and the installation height of the vertical plate 51 relative to the frame 1 is adjustable. A hollow groove 511 is provided on the vertical plate 51, and a guide wheel 52 is provided at each end of the hollow groove 511. At this time, the FEP heat shrink tube passing through the guide hole 41 can be pressed against the guide wheel 52 and pass through the hollow groove 511 to enter the subsequent second guide mechanism 6, thereby effectively utilizing the guide wheel 52 to increase the preload force of the FEP heat shrink tube.

[0057] The second guide mechanism 6 arranged on the frame 1 includes a first roller 61 and two second rollers 62, the first roller 61 extends in the horizontal direction, the two second rollers 62 extend in the vertical direction, and there is a gap between two adjacent second rollers 62; when the FEP heat shrink tube is fed into the second guide mechanism 6, the first roller 61 can press the FEP heat shrink tube accordingly and roll itself along the horizontal axis; the FEP heat shrink tube pressed by the first roller 61 can pass through the gap between the two adjacent second rollers 62, and the second roller 62 itself rolls along the vertical axis to feed the FEP heat shrink tube into the conveying drive mechanism 3.

[0058] Accordingly, the FEP heat shrink tube fed into the conveying drive mechanism 3 can be pressed by the upper and lower conveyor belts 321, and the upper and lower conveyor belts 321 can feed the FEP heat shrink tube into the receiving piece 7 under the drive of the motor 35. A second guide mechanism 6 is also provided between the conveying drive mechanism 3 and the receiving piece 7, and the application effect of the second guide mechanism 6 is the same as above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0059] From the above, it can be seen that the feeding device for FEP heat shrink tube designed by the utility model can ensure the preload force of FEP heat shrink tube during feeding through its own structural optimization design, and the feeding device has good applicability, can greatly improve the user experience, and has good promotion prospects and application value.

[0060] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
