The provision of a plurality of material-discharging chambers 14 can effectively prevent all the tubular containers 7 in the silo 1 from being squeezed toward the discharge port 13, reduce the pressure of the tubular containers 7 at the discharge port 13, and facilitate the orderly discharge of the tubular containers 7 at the discharge port 13. The material-discharging wheel 21 is used to push the tubular containers 7 at the higher position of the conveying slope 12 toward the discharge port 13, so that the tubular containers 7 in the silo 1 can be moved in an orderly manner, which can effectively avoid the problem of the tubular containers 7 being messy during the transportation process in the silo 1. The above measures can ensure the neat and orderly transportation of the tubular containers 7 and reduce the phenomenon of the tubular containers 7 being stuck at the discharge port 13.

[0026] As another embodiment of the present utility model: a plurality of vertically arranged material partition plates 26 are arranged in the silo 1, the material partition plates 26 divide the silo 1 into a plurality of material dropping chambers 14, and a passage 300 for the tubular container 7 to pass through is formed between the material partition plates 26 and the conveying inclined surface 12. The arrangement of the material partition plates 26 prevents all the tubular containers 7 from being squeezed toward the discharge port 13, and facilitates the orderly delivery of the tubular containers 7 in the silo 1 to the discharge port 13.

[0027] As another embodiment of the present utility model, a discharging wheel 25 is provided at the discharging port 13, and the discharging wheel 25 is rotatably arranged on the conveying inclined plane 12. There are two conveying inclined planes 12, one of which is provided with a paddle wheel 21, and the other conveying inclined plane 12 is provided with a discharging wheel 25. The discharging wheel 25 pushes the tubular container 7 on the conveying inclined plane 12 to the discharging port 13, and then presses the tubular container 7 downward to assist the tubular container 7 to discharge in an orderly manner.

The tubular container 7 on the conveying slope 12 is pushed toward the discharge port 13 in an orderly manner through the star-shaped plates 22.

[0029] As another embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the discharging wheel 25 is the same as that of the tapping wheel 21 .

[0030] Specifically, the conveying inclined surface 12 is provided with an avoidance hole 11 , and the material-discharging wheel 21 is located below the avoidance hole 11 . When the star-shaped plate 22 passes through the avoidance hole 11 , it pushes the tubular container 7 at a higher position toward the discharge port 13 .

[0031] As another embodiment of the present invention: Figure 5 The two star-shaped plates 22 of the feeding wheel 21 use the corrugated section 71 of the tubular container 7 as a dividing line. Through this structural design, when the tubular container 7 is pushed, the two star-shaped plates 22 push the two ends of the tubular container 7 respectively, preventing the tubular container 7 from bending and deforming during the pushing process, which is conducive to the orderly transportation of the tubular container 7.

[0032] As another embodiment of the present utility model: when the star-shaped plate 22 extends out of the avoidance hole 11, the star-shaped plate 22 is provided with an arc surface on the side close to the discharge port 13 of the silo 1, and the arc surface protrudes toward the discharge port 13 of the silo 1. Through this structural design, the star-shaped plate 22 can effectively reduce the squeezing of the tubular container 7 on the conveying slope 12 while pushing the tubular container 7.

The first servo motor 23 drives the pulley to rotate, thereby driving one material-pickup wheel 21 to rotate through the belt 24, thereby driving the other material-pickup wheels 21 to rotate through the belt 24.

[0034] As another embodiment of the present invention: Figure 4A partition plate 8 is provided in the silo 1, and the partition plate 8 divides the silo 1 into two storage silos 1, so as to realize the discharge of two groups of tubular containers 7, thereby improving the discharge speed of the tubular containers 7. Specifically, the conveying inclined planes 12 in the two storage silos 1 are symmetrically distributed along the partition plate 8, the material-prying wheels 21 in the two storage silos 1 are symmetrically distributed along the partition plate 8, the material-discharging wheels 25 in the two storage silos 1 are symmetrically distributed along the partition plate 8, the material-separating plates 26 in the two storage silos 1 are symmetrically distributed along the partition plate 8, and the material-discharging wheels 25 in the two storage silos 1 are fixed together, so as to realize the synchronous discharge of the two groups of tubular containers 7.

[0035] In the utility model, the material-discharging wheel 21, the star plate 22, the first servo motor 23, the belt 24, the material-discharging wheel 25 and the material-separating plate 26 constitute the material-handling mechanism 2 for conveying tubular containers.

[0036] Specifically, the silo 1 is provided with a material jam processing port, and the silo 1 is hinged with a material door 15 at the material jam processing port. When material jam occurs, there is no need to stop the machine to solve the material jam problem. It is only necessary to open the material door 15 and take out the stuck tubular container 7 from the material jam processing port.

[0037] Furthermore, a proximity switch is provided at the discharge port 13 of the silo 1 to detect whether a tubular container 7 falls.

[0038] Refer to the attached Figure 2 The utility model also provides a material sorting conveyor, including the above-mentioned tubular container sorting silo, a conveying wheel 3 is provided below the discharge port 13 of the silo 1, a mesh belt conveying mechanism 4 is provided below the conveying wheel 3, and a tubular container loading mechanism 5 is provided at the discharge end of the mesh belt conveying mechanism 4. The conveying wheel 3 docks with the discharge port 13 to catch the tubular container 7 dropped from the discharge port 13, and then the conveying wheel 3 rotates to transfer the tubular container 7 to the mesh belt conveying mechanism 4. After a batch of tubular containers 7 are accumulated at the discharge end of the mesh belt conveying mechanism 4, the tubular container loading mechanism 5 sends the tubular containers 7 at the discharge end to the assembly system by vacuum suction.

[0039] As another embodiment of the utility model: a visual inspection mechanism 6 is provided on the mesh belt conveyor mechanism 4 between the silo 1 and the tubular container feeding mechanism 5. The visual inspection mechanism 6 is used to detect whether there is a tubular container 7 in the feeding trough on the mesh belt conveyor mechanism 4 and to detect the front and back of the tubular container 7.

[0040] As another embodiment of the present invention: Figure 3The conveying wheel 3 is provided with a receiving groove 31 for receiving the tubular container 7, and a fence 100 is provided on the outer side of the conveying wheel 3 to prevent the tubular container 7 from falling from the receiving groove 31, one end of the fence 100 extends to the discharge port 13 of the silo 1, and the other end extends to the mesh belt conveying mechanism 4. The receiving groove 31 of the conveying wheel 3 and the conveying groove of the mesh belt conveying mechanism 4 are connected, so that the tubular container 7 in the receiving groove 31 falls into the conveying groove below in an orderly manner.

[0041] As another embodiment of the present utility model: a second servo motor 200 for driving the conveying dial wheel 3 to rotate is provided below the conveying dial wheel 3 , and the second servo motor 200 is connected to the conveying dial wheel 3 via a reversing mechanism.

[0042] In the present invention, the tubular containers 7 are piled up in the blanking cavity 14 to prevent all the tubular containers 7 from being squeezed toward the discharge port 13. The material dial wheel 21 drives the star plate 22 to rotate, and the star plate 22 pushes the tubular containers 7 on the conveying slope 12 from high to low until they are pushed to the discharge port 13 of the silo 1. This arrangement enables the tubular containers 7 to be transported to the discharge port 13 in an orderly manner, preventing the tubular containers 7 from being messy in the silo 1 and the tubular containers 7 from being stuck at the discharge port 13. The tubular containers 7 fall from the discharge port 13 into the receiving groove 31 of the rotating conveying dial wheel 3, and then the conveying dial wheel 3 rotates, and the tubular containers 7 in the receiving groove 31 fall into the conveying groove of the mesh belt conveying mechanism 4. This arrangement enables the tubular containers 7 at the blanking port to fall on the mesh belt conveying mechanism 4 in an orderly manner. During the conveying process, the visual inspection mechanism 6 performs visual inspection on the tubular containers 7 to check whether there are straws on the mesh belt conveying mechanism 4 and distinguish the front and back of the tubular containers 7. Finally, the tubular container feeding mechanism 5 feeds the tubular container 7 into the assembly system by vacuum suction, thereby realizing the automatic production of the tubular container 7. The utility model ensures the orderly conveyance of the tubular container 7 by arranging the material dropping cavity 14, the material paddle wheel 21 and the conveying inclined surface 12 in the silo 1, which can effectively prevent the tubular container 7 from getting stuck at the material outlet 13, and ensures that the automatic feeding of the tubular container 7 can be carried out in an orderly manner, thereby improving the production efficiency of the preparation.
