[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] refer to Figure 1-2 An umbrella tube feeding device includes two placement frames 1 for placing umbrella tubes 5, two toggle mechanisms 2 for helping a plurality of umbrella tubes 5 in the placement frames 1 to fall, and two detection mechanisms 3 for sorting the umbrella tubes 5.

[0030] Furthermore, after the umbrella tubes 5 are neatly placed in the placement frame 1, as the umbrella tubes 5 are continuously moved out of the placement frame 1, the umbrella tubes 5 remaining in the placement frame 1 will continuously slide down in the placement frame 1 due to their own weight. During the sliding process, due to the excessive number of umbrella tubes 5, blockage may occur. At this time, the umbrella tubes 5 are moved by the toggle mechanism 2 to solve the blockage problem, and then the umbrella tubes 5 enter the position of the detection mechanism 3. Due to the excessive number of umbrella tubes 5, when placed, the ends of some umbrella tubes 5 with holes may not be on the same side in the placement frame 1 (the holes of the umbrella tubes 5 are used to install the umbrella tube 5 springs), and then the detection mechanism 3 is used to detect the position of the holes on the surface of the umbrella tube 5, and the umbrella tubes 5 that have passed the detection enter the next step of automatic processing.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the two placement frames 1 are set one high and one low, and the two are fixed together by bolts. The high and low setting method can avoid interference with other structures in the two placement frames 1. The umbrella tubes 5 in the two placement frames 1 are different in size and can be combined in the subsequent processing process. A baffle plate 13 is set in the placement frame 1, and the baffle plate 13 is connected to the placement frame 1 by bolts. The position of the baffle plate 13 in the placement frame 1 can be adjusted by tightening the bolts, so that umbrella tubes 5 of different batches of lengths can be kept neat in the placement frame 1.

[0032] like Figure 2-3 As shown, a baffle 4 and a symmetrically arranged T-shaped mounting seat 6 are arranged on the outside of the placement frame 1. The baffle 4 is fixedly mounted on the front surface of the T-shaped mounting seat 6 by bolts and is fixed to the two placement frames 1 to support the placement frame 1.

[0033] like Figure 8-9 As shown, the shifting mechanism 2 includes a driving motor 21 and a rotating shaft 22. The driving motor 21 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the placement frame 1 by bolts. The output shaft of the driving motor 21 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 22. The rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the driving motor 21. A plurality of fixed blocks 221 are fixedly arranged on the surface of the rotating shaft 22. A rubber shifting block 222 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixed block 221 by bolts.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, a bottom plate 11 and a bottom plate 112 are fixedly provided at the lower end of the placement frame 1. The bottom plate 11 and the bottom plate 112 are both inclined, and the length of the bottom plate 11 is greater than the length of the bottom plate 112. The lower end of the bottom plate 112 is located above the surface of the bottom plate 11, and the distance between the two is slightly greater than the diameter of a single umbrella tube 5, so that the single umbrella tube 5 can roll along the bottom plate 11 to the position of the detection mechanism 3.

[0035] like Figure 8-9 As shown, the rotating shaft 22 is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the placing frame 1 below the bottom plate 11, and a plurality of through grooves 111 are opened on the surface of the bottom plate 11. The rubber shifting blocks 222 correspond to the positions of the through grooves 111. The rotating shaft 22 is driven by the driving motor 21 to rotate, thereby driving the rotation of the fixed block 221, and then driving the rotation of the rubber shifting blocks 222, so as to shift a plurality of umbrella tubes 5 stacked on the surface of the bottom plate 11, so that the umbrella tubes 5 can roll down one by one along the surface of the bottom plate 11.

[0036] like Figure 2-7As shown, the detection mechanism 3 includes a support frame 33, an L-shaped mounting plate 311, a rotating cylinder 32 and a rotating shaft 321. The L-shaped mounting plate 311 and the rotating cylinder 32 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the placement frame 1 by bolts. The rotating shaft 321 is rotatably set on the inner wall of the placement frame 1 above the bottom plate 11, and the piston rod of the rotating cylinder 32 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 321, and the rotating shaft 321 is driven to rotate by the rotating cylinder 32.

[0037] like Figure 2-3 As shown, a sorting plate 322 is symmetrically fixedly arranged on the surface of the rotating shaft 321, and a guide plate 12 and a guide plate 2 15 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sorting plate 322, respectively. The guide plate 12 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the placement frame 1 on the right side of the sorting plate 322, and the guide plate 2 15 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the placement frame 1 on the left side of the sorting plate 322. The guide plate 12 is inclined, and the upper end of the guide plate 2 15 is inclined and parallel to the bottom plate 11, and the lower end plate surface is parallel to the baffle 4, and the distance between the guide plate 1 and the baffle 4 is slightly larger than the diameter of a single umbrella tube 5.

[0038] like Figure 3-7 As shown, the support frame 33 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the placement frame 1 outside the bottom plate 112 by bolts, and the bottom plate 112 is parallel to each other. Three groups of telescopic cylinders 2 34 are fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame 33 by bolts. The three groups can be divided into a first group of telescopic cylinders 2 34, a second group of telescopic cylinders 2 34 and a third group of telescopic cylinders 2 34 from top to bottom. A blocking shaft 341 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 2 34. The blocking shaft 341 can penetrate the support frame 33 to block the umbrella tube 5.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, a visual sensor 31 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped mounting plate 311 by bolts. The visual sensor 31 is a prior art. A through hole 14 is provided at a position on the outer side of the placement frame 1 corresponding to the detection end of the visual sensor 31. The position of the through hole 14 corresponds to the position of the gap between the second group and the third group of telescopic cylinders 34. When the umbrella tube 5 rolls to the position of the through hole 14, the visual sensor 31 is used to perform image detection on the surface of this end of the umbrella tube 5 to detect whether the surface of this end of the umbrella tube 5 has a hole, which is used to install the umbrella tube 5 spring.

[0040] Furthermore, when the umbrella tube 5 rolls down to the position of the first group of telescopic cylinders 2 34, the first group of telescopic cylinders 2 34 drives the blocking shaft 341 to retract, so that the umbrella tube 5 passes through the blocking shaft 341 of the first group of telescopic cylinders 2 34, and then the first group of telescopic cylinders 2 34 immediately drives the blocking shaft 341 to descend to block the subsequent umbrella tubes 5, and the umbrella tube 5 rolls down between the first and second groups of telescopic cylinders 2 34, and then the second group of telescopic cylinders 2 34 drives the blocking shaft 341 to retract, so that the umbrella tube 5 passes through the blocking shaft 341 of the second group of telescopic cylinders 2 34 and enters between the second and third groups of telescopic cylinders 2 34. After entering this position, the visual sensor 31 can detect the umbrella tube 5.

[0041] Furthermore, after the visual sensor 31 completes the detection of the umbrella tube 5, if it is detected that there is a hole on this end surface of the umbrella tube 5, the sorting plate 322 will remain parallel to the bottom plate 11, and then the third group of telescopic cylinders 2 34 will drive the blocking shaft 341 to retract, so that the umbrella tube 5 that has passed the detection will roll along the sorting plate 322 to the top of the guide plate 15, and then enter the gap between the guide plate 15 and the baffle 4. If no hole is detected on this end surface of the umbrella tube 5, the visual sensor 31 will give a signal to the rotating cylinder 32 to drive the rotating shaft 2 321 to rotate, so that the sorting plate 322 is parallel to the guide plate 12, and then the third group of telescopic cylinders 2 34 will drive the blocking shaft 341 to retract, so that the umbrella tube 5 passes through the sorting plate 322 and enters the surface of the guide plate 12. A collection frame can be placed at the lower end of the guide plate 12 to collect the fallen umbrella tube 5. The subsequent movement process of the umbrella tube 5 is the same as the above process.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the sides of the two T-shaped mounting seats 6 are fixed with support plates 16 by bolts, and the upper surface of the support plate 16 is symmetrically provided with telescopic cylinders 161, which are fixed to the support plate 16 by bolts, and the position of each telescopic cylinder 161 corresponds to the material guide plate 2 15, and the outer end of the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 161 is fixed with a material guide frame 162.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, two groups of support sheets 163 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the support plate 16. Each group of support sheets 163 is arranged on both sides of the telescopic cylinder 161 and fixed to the support plate 16 by bolts. The support sheets 163 are used to support the umbrella tube 5.

[0044] Furthermore, the umbrella tube 5 that falls between the guide plate 15 and the baffle plate 4 will enter the guide frame 162 in sequence. The guide frame 162 is driven to be telescopically driven by the telescopic cylinder 34, so that the umbrella tube 5 in the guide frame 162 can be pushed and enter the next automatic processing link after passing through the through groove at the lower end of the baffle plate 4.
