[0029] In order to solve the problems in the prior art that grabbing a glass tube after a tube breakage needs to be divided into two steps, and the grabbing is not simplified and timely enough, the utility model provides an automatic tube renewing device, including a support assembly, the support assembly is arranged below a cooling runway, a track 6 extending along the extension direction of the cooling runway is arranged on the top, a slider 5 is arranged on the track 6, and the slider 5 can reciprocate on the track 6 along the extension direction of the cooling runway; a clamping assembly, the clamping assembly is arranged on the slider 5, the clamping assembly includes two clamping members movably arranged opposite to each other, and the two clamping members are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the radial direction of the glass tube 15 on the cooling runway; and a driving assembly, the driving assembly is arranged on the support assembly and includes a first driving member and a second driving member, the first driving member is used to drive the slider 5 to reciprocate along the extension direction of the cooling runway, and the second driving member is used to drive the two clamping members to move closer to each other to clamp the glass tube 15 or to move away from each other to loosen the glass tube 15.

[0030] Through the above technical scheme, the automatic tube renewing device provided by the present invention arranges the support assembly below the cooling runway, and the two clamping members arranged on the support assembly are arranged correspondingly on the radial sides of the glass tube on the cooling runway. When the glass tube breaks, the two clamping members can clamp the glass tube in time (that is, the glass tube can be grabbed in one step) and renew the tube, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0031] In the above, the specific structures of the clamping member, the first driving member and the second driving member are not limited as long as they can achieve their functions.

[0032] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the second driving member includes a motor 7 and an automatic rotating shaft 8, the motor 7 is fixed on the slider 5, the automatic rotating shaft 8 is arranged above the motor 7, the automatic rotating shaft 8 is a rotatable shaft, divided into two parts, the two parts are rotatably connected, the upper part of the two parts is respectively connected to two clamping members, and the lower part is connected to the driving member of the motor 7, and the motor 7 drives the two parts to rotate in opposite directions, so that the two clamping members are close to each other to clamp the glass tube 15 or move away from each other to loosen the glass tube 15. Of course, other automatic rotating shafts 8 that can realize the opposite rotation directions of the two parts can also be used, and are not limited to this structure.

[0033] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the clamping member includes a support rod 9 and a clamping plate 10. One end of the support rod 9 is connected to the automatic rotating shaft 8, and the other end is connected to the clamping plate 10. The clamping plate 10 is an inwardly concave arc plate. The two clamping members can be as follows Figure 3 The staggered arrangement shown is arranged one in front of the other in the circumferential direction of the glass tube 15, so that the diameter range of the glass tube to be clamped is relatively large, and it can be applied to production lines of glass tubes with different diameters. The two clamping members can also be arranged completely symmetrically with the glass tube 15 as the symmetry axis.

[0034] In some embodiments, a high temperature resistant gasket 11 is provided on the inner side of the tube clamping plate 10. The gasket 11 can be any high temperature resistant elastic gasket or a gasket with a rough surface, which provides pressure or friction for the tube clamping plate 10 when clamping the glass tube 15, so that the glass tube 15 can be moved by the tube clamping plate 10, and prevents the glass tube 15 from being crushed when clamping the glass tube 15. The gasket 11 can be asbestos cloth.

[0035] In some embodiments, a plurality of raised ridges are disposed on the inner side of the clamping plate 10 to provide friction so that the glass tube 15 can be moved by the clamping plate 10 .

[0036] In some embodiments, the track 6 is configured as a conveyor belt, the slider 5 is fixed on the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt is driven by a first driving member to drive the slider 5 to move back and forth along the extension direction of the cooling runway. The first driving member is configured as a motor, and can also be any driving member that can drive the conveyor belt to move back and forth along the extension direction of the cooling runway.

[0037] In some embodiments, the track 6 is configured as a slide rail, the slider 5 is slidably connected to the slide rail, and the first driving member drives the slider 5 to reciprocate along the extension direction of the cooling track on the slide rail. The first driving member is configured as a motor, or any driving member that can drive the slider 5 to reciprocate.

[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the automatic tube renewing device further includes a monitoring component 4, which is located at one end of the support assembly close to the traction machine 13. The automatic tube renewing device is configured such that: when the monitoring component 4 detects that the glass tube 15 is broken at the No. 1 traction wheel 14, the driving component drives the two clamping members to clamp the glass tube 15, and drives the slider 5 to move to a limited position in the direction close to the traction machine 13; when the monitoring component 4 does not detect that the glass tube 15 is broken at the No. 1 traction wheel 14, the two clamping members release the glass tube 15, and the slider 5 is located at an initial position away from the traction machine 13. The initial position and the limited position are two points located at both ends of the track 6, respectively, which are the starting position and the end position of the movement of the slider 5. The initial position is set at one end of the track 6 away from the traction machine 13, and the limited position is set at one end of the track 6 close to the traction machine 13.

[0039] The traction machine 13 generally includes a plurality of pairs of traction wheels spaced apart along the extension direction of the cooling runway, such as Figure 1 Only when the glass tube 15 is broken at the No. 1 traction wheel 14, the glass tube 15 will lose power and need to be re-connected; when the glass tube 15 is broken at other traction wheels of the traction machine 13, the No. 1 traction wheel 14 will continue to pull the glass tube 15 forward without the need for re-connection.

[0040] When in use, when the monitoring component 4 detects that the glass tube 15 is broken at the No. 1 traction wheel 14, the driving component drives the two clamps to clamp the glass tube 15, and drives the slide block 5 to move to a limited position in the direction close to the traction machine 13, and feeds the glass tube 15 into the No. 1 traction wheel 14 for tube refilling. If the glass tube 15 has successfully entered the traction machine 13, the monitoring component 4 has not detected that the glass tube 15 is broken at the No. 1 traction wheel 14, the two clamps release the glass tube 15, and the slide block 5 returns to the initial position and then stops. If the glass tube 15 has not entered the traction machine 13, the monitoring component 4 still detects that the glass tube 15 is broken at the No. 1 traction wheel 14, and the slide block 5 returns to the initial position and repeats the previous action (i.e., the driving component drives the two clamps to clamp the glass tube 15, and drives the slide block 5 to move to a limited position in the direction close to the traction machine 13, and feeds the glass tube 15 into the No. 1 traction wheel 14), until the monitoring component 4 detects that the glass tube 15 has successfully entered the traction machine 13.

[0041] In some embodiments, the automatic tube renewal device further includes a control center, which communicates with the monitoring component 4 and the driving component respectively, and the control center is configured to control the operation of the driving component according to the signal detected by the monitoring component 4.

The support frame 3 can be as Figure 1 The vertical rod is shown, but it can also be any supporting frame. A height adjustment device can be set on the supporting frame 3, which is suitable for glass tube production lines of different heights.

[0044] In some embodiments, the automatic tube renewing device further includes an alarm 12, which is located on the base 1 or the support frame 3. The automatic tube renewing device is configured such that when the monitoring component 4 detects that the glass tube 15 is broken, the alarm 12 lights up and sounds to remind workers that the tube is broken.

[0045] Of course, the alarm 12 can also communicate with the control center, and the control center controls the operation of the alarm 12 according to the monitoring signal of the monitoring component 4.
