Furthermore, in order to facilitate industrial production, the insertion holes on the tray 11 can also be used as positioning holes 111. For example, when a insertion hole on the tray 11 is prepared for the wick b to be inserted, then the adjacent insertion hole can be used as the positioning hole 111.

[0019] In this embodiment, the wick clip 2 is used to clamp the wick b, and the positioning unit 3 is used to position the tray 11, wherein the positioning unit 3 and the wick clip 2 are provided with a feeding drive assembly 4 that drives them to move synchronously along the degrees of freedom of the spatial mechanism, that is, the wick clip 2 has degrees of freedom in six directions, namely, front, back, up, down, left, and right, through the driving action of the feeding drive assembly 4. The feeding drive assembly 4 of this embodiment includes a lateral driving unit 41 for driving the positioning unit 3 and the wick clip 2 to reciprocate in the left-right direction, a vertical driving unit 42 for driving the positioning unit 3 and the wick clip 2 to reciprocate in the up-down direction, and a front-to-back driving unit 43 for driving the positioning unit 3 and the wick clip 2 to reciprocate in the front-to-back direction. Specifically, a fixed seat and a connecting plate connected to the fixed seat in a lateral sliding manner are arranged in front of the storage rack 1, and the feeding drive assembly 4 is arranged on the fixed seat and the connecting plate, wherein the lateral drive unit 41 is fixed on the fixed seat and its driving end is connected to the connecting plate; the vertical drive unit 42 is fixed on the connecting plate and its driving end is connected to the front and rear drive unit 43; the driving end of the front and rear drive unit 43 is connected to the wick clip 2; the driving end of the lifting drive unit 31 is connected to the positioning unit 3. Through the mutual cooperation of the above-mentioned various drive units, the movement of the wick clip 22 in the six directions of front, back, up, down, left and right, and the movement of the positioning unit 3 in the up and down directions are realized.

[0020] Furthermore, the lateral drive unit 41 of the present embodiment adopts the driving mode of a motor and a ball screw, the driving end of the motor is connected to the screw of the ball screw and the nut of the ball screw is connected to the connecting plate. The vertical drive unit 42 of the present embodiment adopts a telescopic cylinder; the front and rear drive unit 43 of the present embodiment adopts a telescopic cylinder; the lifting drive unit 31 of the present embodiment adopts a telescopic cylinder; the wick clamp 2 of the present embodiment adopts a finger cylinder with a clamping arm, and the positioning unit 3 of the present embodiment is a metal plug rod arranged in parallel with the wick clamp 2, wherein one end of the plug rod for plugging is formed with a sharp corner, which is more convenient for insertion into the positioning hole 111; secondly, the spacing between the positioning unit 3 and the wick clamp 2 is set according to actual production needs.

[0021] For ease of understanding, the above-mentioned wick inserting machine is further described below in conjunction with a specific working method.

[0022] The wick inserting machine of this embodiment performs the feeding operation including the following steps:

[0023] Step S1, a plurality of trays 11 to be loaded with wicks b are stacked vertically in the tray storage rack 1 in advance;

[0024] Step S2, the tray 11 is moved in a translational manner toward the wick clip 2, and when the tray 11 is fed to a predetermined loading position adjacent to the wick clip 2, the loading drive assembly 4 drives the positioning unit 3 and the wick clip 2 to move above the predetermined loading position;

[0025] Step S3, when the positioning unit 3 and the wick clip 2 move to the upper part of the predetermined loading position, the loading drive assembly 4 drives the positioning unit 3 and the wick clip 2 to perform the loading operation; however, driven by the lifting drive unit 31, the positioning unit 3 will descend before the wick clip 2 and contact the tray 11. Among them, if the specifications and dimensions of the tray 11 meet the standards, that is, the opening position and size of the positioning hole 111 on the tray 11 meet the preset production standards, then the positioning unit 3 will be smoothly inserted into the positioning hole 111; then, the wick clip 2 inserts the clamped wick b into the socket. If the specifications and dimensions of the tray 11 do not meet the standards, then the positioning unit 3 will touch the surface of the tray 11 when it descends, and the contact force will force the tray 11 to move, so that the positioning unit 3 is inserted into the positioning hole 111, and the accurate positioning of the tray 11 is achieved; then, the wick clip 2 inserts the clamped wick b into the socket. It should be noted that the positioning hole 111 here is not the same as the socket for inserting the wick b.

[0026] Step S4, after the tray 11 is loaded with the wick b by the wick clip 2, the tray 11 is transferred to the next process, and then the next tray 11 is loaded.

[0027] Repeat the above steps S1 to S4 to complete the insertion of the trays 11 to be inserted with the wicks b in the tray storage rack 1 one by one, thereby realizing the continuous insertion operation of the wicks b.

[0028] Therefore, the position of the tray 11 can be accurately positioned during the automatic insertion process through the cooperation of the positioning unit 3, the lifting drive unit 31 and the positioning hole 111; when encountering a tray 11 whose specifications and dimensions do not meet the standards, it can also ensure that the wick b is smoothly inserted into the socket, effectively avoiding the wick b from breaking, greatly reducing the loss caused by the breakage of the wick b due to incorrect positioning of the tray 11 during the automatic insertion process, and reducing production costs.
