[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] See also Figure 1-6 In this embodiment, a feeding device for processing aluminum tubes for medical packaging includes a processing table 1, a belt conveyor 2 fixed on the processing table 1, and a sloped material guide plate 3 connected to the head of the belt conveyor 2. The frames on both sides of the belt conveyor 2 are fixed with limit covers 4. The aluminum tube is limited to the top surface of the belt conveyor 2 through the limit covers 4, and the front end of the limit covers 4 is provided with a discharge port 5. A double positioning mechanism 6 for positioning the aluminum tube is provided on the sloped material guide plate 3. A feeding mechanism 7 for transferring the aluminum tube is provided on the processing table 1 and at the tail end of the sloped material guide plate 3.

[0025] The aluminum tube in the limiting cover 4 is transported by the belt conveyor 2 and falls from the discharge port 5 onto the sloped guide plate 3. The feeding frequency of the aluminum tube can be controlled by the double positioning mechanism 6. When the aluminum tube falls to the tail end of the sloped guide plate 3, the aluminum tube can be transferred by the feeding mechanism 7.

[0026] A movable door is provided on the side of the limiting cover 4. By opening the movable door, a plurality of stacks can be placed on the belt conveyor 2 in the limiting cover 4. Figure 2 As shown, a limiting plate 8 is provided inside the limiting cover 4 , the top end of the limiting plate 8 is bent outward, and the stacked aluminum tubes are limited between the limiting plate 8 and the side wall of the limiting cover 4 .

[0027] The two ends of the limit plate 8 are slidably installed between the front and rear inner walls of the limit cover 4. The distance between the limit plate 8 and the left and right inner walls of the limit cover 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the aluminum tube. Long holes are provided at the front and rear ends of the limit cover 4. The position of the limit plate 8 in the limit cover 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the limit plate 8, and then screwing the bolts through the long holes into the front and rear ends of the limit cover 4.

[0028] A material blocking plate 9 is fixed at the front end of the limiting cover 4 corresponding to the position of the discharge port 5. Figure 3 The height of the baffle plate 9 can be adjusted according to the size of the aluminum tube, so that only a single aluminum tube can be delivered from the discharge port 5.

[0029] The sloped guide plate 3 is provided with a limiting plate 10 corresponding to the position of the limiting plate 8. Figure 3 As shown, the aluminum tube is restricted between the limiting plate 10 and the side plate of the sloped material guide plate 3, and the position of the limiting plate 10 on the sloped material guide plate 3 can be adjusted. The limiting plate 10 is locked on the sloped material guide plate 3 by bolts and nuts. The sloped material guide plate 3 is provided with limiting holes for the limiting plate 10 to move left and right. Before debugging the equipment, the limiting plate 8 and the limiting plate 10 are adjusted to the same plane according to the size of the aluminum tube.

[0030] A temporary storage rack 11 is slidably mounted on the tail end of the sloped guide plate 3. Figure 4 As shown, a baffle 12 corresponding to the temporary storage rack 11 is slidably installed on the limiting plate 10, and the aluminum tube dropped from the sloped guide plate 3 directly falls into the temporary storage rack 11, and the end is restricted by the baffle 12, which can facilitate the feeding mechanism 7 to transfer the aluminum tube.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the double positioning mechanism 6 includes two positioning cylinders 601 fixed on the side plates of the sloped material guide plate 3, and the output shaft of the positioning cylinder 601 is fixed with an L-shaped positioning plate 602. The aluminum tube slides onto the sloped material guide plate 3, the positioning cylinder 601 is pushed out, and the L-shaped positioning plate 602 moves down, which can block the aluminum tube and prevent the aluminum tube from continuing to slide, thereby accurately controlling the feeding frequency of the aluminum tube.

[0032] Furthermore, a position sensor 603 is installed on the sloped material guide plate 3 to sense the position of the aluminum tube on the sloped material guide plate 3, thereby making the timing of the downward movement of the L-shaped positioning plate 602 more accurate.

[0033] like Figure 6As shown, the feeding mechanism 7 includes a flip cylinder 701 hinged to the bottom surface of the processing table 1, and the bottom surface of the processing table 1 is also hinged with an L-shaped connecting plate 702, the end of the L-shaped connecting plate 702 is bent downward in an arc shape, and one end of the L-shaped connecting plate 702 is hinged to the output end of the flip cylinder 701, and the other end of the L-shaped connecting plate 702 is fixed with an arc-shaped support plate 703, and a clamping cylinder 704 is hinged on the L-shaped connecting plate 702, and the output shaft of the clamping cylinder 704 is hinged with a flip seat 705 hinged to the front side of the arc-shaped support plate 703, and the end of the flip seat 705 is fixed with a clamping plate 706 extending to the inner side of the arc-shaped support plate 703.

[0034] The processing table 1 is provided with an escape hole for the L-shaped connecting plate 702 to rotate freely. The aluminum tube slides onto the arc-shaped support plate 703, and the clamping cylinder 704 is pushed out. The flip seat 705 can drive the clamping plate 706 to flip downward, pressing the aluminum tube onto the arc-shaped support plate 703, and then the flip cylinder 701 is driven to shrink. The L-shaped connecting plate 702 can drive the clamped aluminum tube to rotate above the side turntable, and the clamping cylinder 704 shrinks. The clamping plate 706 no longer presses the aluminum tube on the arc-shaped support plate 703, and the aluminum tube directly falls into the material barrel above the turntable, so that the loading of the aluminum tube can be realized.

[0035] By adopting the above-mentioned feeding device for processing aluminum tubes for medical packaging, the automatic feeding of aluminum tubes is realized, and the feeding frequency of aluminum tubes can be flexibly controlled. The specific feeding method is as follows:

[0036] The aluminum tube in the limit cover 4 is transported by the belt conveyor 2 and falls from the discharge port 5 onto the sloped guide plate 3. The aluminum tube slides onto the arc-shaped support plate 703. The flip seat 705 can drive the clamping plate 706 to flip downward, press the aluminum tube onto the arc-shaped support plate 703, and then drive the L-shaped connecting plate 702 to drive the clamped aluminum tube to rotate above the side turntable. The clamping plate 706 no longer presses the aluminum tube onto the arc-shaped support plate 703, and the aluminum tube directly falls into the material barrel above the turntable to realize loading.

[0037] During the sliding of the aluminum tubes, except for the aluminum tubes that fall on the arc-shaped support plate 703 , the subsequent aluminum tubes can be blocked by the downwardly moved L-shaped positioning plate 602 , and the feeding frequency of the aluminum tubes can be changed by the up and down movement frequency of the L-shaped positioning plate 602 .

[0038] The control method of the present invention is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be realized by simple programming by technicians in this field. The provision of power is also common knowledge in this field. The present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the present invention will no longer explain the control method and circuit connection in detail.

Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
