Similarly, in the field of pen production, automated production has gradually replaced traditional manual assembly. And the level of automation is getting higher and higher, the process is becoming simpler, and the space occupied by the production line is getting smaller and smaller. In order to save space, the traditional linear production line is changed to a turntable production line. And in order to further reduce the size of the turntable, the horizontal processing is changed to vertical processing. Therefore, when feeding, it is necessary to keep the pen shell placed horizontally facing upward and transport it to the turntable in a vertical state. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a pen case feeding device with automatic direction correction, which has the advantages of simple structure and can automatically correct the direction of the pen case opening so that the pen case is fed to the turntable from the discharge port with the opening facing upward.
[0004] The object of the present invention is achieved in that:
[0005] The top of the feeding box is provided with a feeding port, and the bottom of the feeding box is provided with a feeding trough, and the accommodating cavity is communicated with the feeding trough, and the lower end of the feeding trough is provided with a transverse moving plate and a left and right driving device for driving the transverse moving plate to move left and right, and a transverse moving groove is formed on the transverse moving plate, and the length of the transverse moving groove is greater than the length of the feeding trough, and the part of the transverse moving groove longer than the feeding trough is the adjusting section, and the front end of the transverse moving groove is opened, and a correction cylinder is provided in front of the opening, and the protruding end of the correction cylinder is arranged toward the opening and can extend into the transverse moving groove, and a drop plate is provided below the transverse moving plate, and a drop groove is formed on the drop plate, and the length of the drop groove is less than the length of the transverse moving groove, the front end of the drop groove is the forward rotation end of the pen shell, and the rear end of the drop groove is the reverse rotation end of the pen shell, and a discharging plate is provided below the drop plate, and a discharging trough is formed in the discharging plate, and the discharging trough is communicated with the drop groove, and the lower end of the discharging trough is the discharging port;
[0006] The transverse shift groove moves left and right relative to the falling groove under the drive of the left and right driving devices, and the falling groove and the transverse shift groove overlap intermittently. When overlapping, the positive rotation end and the reverse rotation end of the pen shell of the falling groove are both within the range of the transverse shift groove, and the distance from the positive rotation end of the pen shell of the falling groove to the rear end of the transverse shift groove is greater than the length of the pen shell, and the distance from the reverse rotation end of the pen shell of the falling groove to the front end of the transverse shift groove is greater than the length of the pen shell.
[0007] Through the above arrangement, the pen shells in the feeding box enter the transverse shifting slot from the feeding slot in sequence. Since the pen tip end of the pen shell is open and the pen tail end is closed, if the pen tip end of the pen shell is arranged forward, the extended end of the correction cylinder extends into the opening of the pen tip end, which will not drive the pen shell to move. Then the left and right transverse shifting cylinders drive the transverse shifting plate to move, so that the transverse shifting slot and the drop slot overlap. Since the pen shell positive rotation end at the front end of the drop slot is within the range of the transverse shifting slot, the pen tip end of the pen shell is blocked by the pen shell positive rotation end of the drop slot, and the pen body and pen tail of the pen shell fall first, so that the pen shell comes out of the discharge port with the opening facing upward and enters the turntable;
[0008] If the tail end of the pen shell is set forward, the extended end of the correction cylinder is extended and abuts against the closed tail end of the pen, and the pen shell is moved backward, so that the pen head end enters the adjustment section of the transverse shifting groove, and then the left and right transverse shifting cylinders drive the transverse shifting plate to move, so that the transverse shifting groove and the drop groove overlap. Since the reverse end of the pen shell at the rear end of the drop groove is within the range of the transverse shifting groove, the pen head end of the pen shell is blocked by the reverse end of the pen shell of the drop groove, and the pen body and the tail of the pen shell fall first, so that the pen shell comes out of the discharge port with the opening facing upward and enters the turntable;

[0017] Through the above arrangement, a plurality of pen shells with entry transverse shifting slots can be arranged in the feeding channel, which can make the fault tolerance rate higher and prevent the empty slot phenomenon from occurring easily.
[0018] The utility model is further configured as follows: a "V"-shaped slope is formed on the bottom of the feeding box.
[0019] By setting the "V"-shaped slope, the pen shell can enter the feeding channel more smoothly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0039] A pen case feeding device with automatic direction correction includes a feeding box 2, wherein the feeding box 2 is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating a plurality of pen cases, wherein the upper end of the feeding box 2 is provided with a feeding port 21, and the bottom of the feeding box 2 is provided with a feeding trough 3, wherein the receiving cavity is connected with the feeding trough 31, and the lower end of the feeding trough 3 is provided with a transverse plate 4 and a left and right driving device for driving the transverse plate 4 to move left and right, wherein a transverse groove 41 is formed on the transverse plate 4, wherein the length of the transverse groove 41 is greater than the length of the feeding trough 31, and the portion of the transverse groove 41 longer than the feeding trough 31 is an adjusting section 42, and the front end of the transverse groove 41 is opened. A correction cylinder 5 is provided in front of the opening, and the extended end 51 of the correction cylinder is arranged toward the opening and can extend into the transverse displacement groove 41. A drop plate 6 is provided below the transverse displacement plate 4, and a drop groove 61 is formed on the drop plate 6. The length of the drop groove 61 is less than the length of the transverse displacement groove 41.

[0040] The transverse shift groove 41 moves left and right relative to the falling groove 61 under the drive of the left and right driving devices, and the falling groove 61 and the transverse shift groove 41 overlap intermittently. When overlapping, the pen housing positive rotation end 62 and the pen housing reverse rotation end 63 of the falling groove 61 are both within the range of the transverse shift groove 61, and the distance from the pen housing positive rotation end 62 of the falling groove 61 to the rear end of the transverse shift groove 41 is greater than the length of the pen housing, and the distance from the pen housing reverse rotation end 63 of the falling groove 61 to the front end of the transverse shift groove 41 is greater than the length of the pen housing.
[0041] Through the above arrangement, the pen shells in the feeding box 2 enter the transverse slot 41 from the feeding slot 31 in sequence.

The feeding channel 3 is a vertical slot, and the width of 1.5 times the width of the pen shell> the width of the vertical slot> the width of the pen shell. Through the above arrangement, a plurality of pen shells with transverse slots can be arranged in the feeding channel, which can make the fault tolerance higher and prevent the occurrence of empty slots.
