[0033] The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments. Example

[0034] This embodiment provides a fire tube automatic feeding device, referring to Figure 1 The structure includes: a frame 10, a carrier clamping mechanism 20 and a carrier 30. A three-axis module 17 is arranged on the frame 10. The three-axis module 17 is used to drive the carrier clamping mechanism 20 to move along the XYZ axis.

[0035] Preferably, in the fire tube automatic feeding device of this embodiment, the three-axis module 17 is constructed by an X-axis linear module, a Y-axis linear module and a Z-axis linear module. Figure 2 The motion output part of the Z-axis linear module is connected to a rotation drive mechanism as the final motion output part. The rotation motion output part of the rotation drive mechanism is connected to the first mounting frame 21. The rotation drive mechanism is used to drive the first mounting frame 21 to rotate around the Z axis. The rotation drive mechanism uses a motor reducer rotation drive method to drive the first mounting frame 21 to rotate.

[0036] Preferably, in an automatic fire tube loading device of the present embodiment, a carrier clamping mechanism 20 comprises a first mounting frame 21, a clamping cylinder 22 is connected to the bottom of the first mounting frame 21, and first clamping claws 23 are respectively connected to the two clamping action parts of the clamping cylinder 22 on both sides, and the first clamping claw 23 is arranged in an L shape, with the upper end connected to the two clamping action parts of the clamping cylinder 22, and the lower end is provided with a clamping head protruding from the rod body for clamping the carrier.

[0037] Preferably, in an automatic fire tube loading device of the present embodiment, a carrier 30 is provided with a plurality of clamping holes for loading fire tubes and a first positioning hole for inserting a positioning pin 25, the first positioning hole is located on the side of the carrier 30, and a groove is also provided on the side wall of the carrier 30, and the clamping head arranged at the bottom of the first clamping jaw 23 can be clamped in the groove of the side wall of the carrier 30.

[0038] Preferably, in an automatic fire tube loading device of the present embodiment, a cavity structure is provided above the bottom plate of a carrier 30, a second mounting frame 24 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the first mounting frame 21, a positioning pin 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second mounting frame 24, and the positioning pin 25 is inserted into the first positioning hole of the carrier 30 as the first mounting frame 21 moves downward, so as to accurately align and capture the carrier clamping mechanism 20 with the carrier.

[0039] Preferably, a fire tube automatic feeding device of this embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The two clamping action parts of the clamping cylinder 22 are also connected to two second clamping claws 26 respectively. A second positioning hole is also provided on the carrier 30. A hook is provided at the bottom of the second clamping claw 26. The hook is used to hook the upper wall of the cavity of the carrier 30 after the clamping cylinder 22 is clamped.

[0040] It should be noted that the height of the hook is smaller than the height of the cavity, and the diameter of the rod of the second clamp 26 is also smaller than the diameter of the second positioning hole. When the second clamp 26 is clamped with the clamping cylinder 22, the hook of the second clamp 26 hooks the upper wall of the cavity of the carrier 30 and clamps the clamp at the same time as the first clamp 23 to prevent the carrier from falling during movement, which is safer and more reliable.

[0041] Preferably, a fire tube automatic loading equipment of the present embodiment further includes two parallelly arranged full carrier plastic box feeding roller lines 11 and empty carrier plastic box recovery roller line 12. A connecting roller line 13 is provided at one end of the full carrier plastic box feeding roller line 11 and the empty carrier plastic box recovery roller line 12. The connecting roller line 13 is used to assist the carrier plastic box 18 to flow from the full carrier plastic box feeding roller line 11 into the empty carrier plastic box recovery roller line 12. The carrier plastic box 18 is used to load multiple full or empty carriers 30.

[0042] Preferably, in a fire tube automatic loading equipment of the present embodiment, a positioning cylinder 14 is respectively provided at the moving end of the full carrier plastic box feeding roller line 11 and the moving starting end of the empty carrier plastic box recovery roller line 12, and the action output part of the positioning cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to an angular positioning block. When working, the angular positioning block pushes a corner of the carrier plastic box, so that the carrier plastic box 18 abuts against the stop plates at the ends of the full carrier plastic box feeding roller line 11 and the empty carrier plastic box recovery roller line 12, thereby realizing the loading of full carriers or the recovery of empty carriers in the carrier plastic box 18.

[0043] Preferably, a fire tube automatic loading equipment of the present embodiment further includes an empty carrier flow channel 15 and a full carrier flow channel 16 , and a cylinder shifting device is also provided on the empty carrier flow channel 15 and the full carrier flow channel 16 for shifting the carrier 30 to flow in the empty carrier flow channel 15 and the full carrier flow channel 16 .

[0044] Preferably, in an automatic fire tube loading device of the present embodiment, a pen-shaped cylinder 27 which is telescopic in the Z-axis direction is also provided on the action output part of the three-axis module 17, and a vacuum suction cup is provided at the end of the telescopic rod of the pen-shaped cylinder 27. When the carrier plastic box 18 on the full carrier flow channel 16 moves to the loading station and is clamped by the positioning cylinder, the pen-shaped cylinder 27 is driven by the three-axis module to move above the loading station, and the pen-shaped cylinder 27 drives the vacuum suction cup to adsorb the box cover of the carrier plastic box 18, and under the drive of the three-axis cylinder, the box cover is moved to other positions to realize automatic unpacking. In addition, when the empty carrier is filled with the carrier plastic box, the pen-shaped cylinder 27 drives the vacuum suction cup to cover the box cover on the carrier plastic box 18.

[0045] It should be noted that the device also includes components such as position collection sensors and control systems, which are used to control and coordinate multiple action components to act according to specified programs to achieve automatic fire tube loading.

[0046] The working process of the fire tube automatic loading equipment is that, firstly, the full carrier plastic box is driven by the roller line and smoothly transported to the designated full carrier plastic box unloading position.

[0047] At the same time, the carrier clamping mechanism has been moved to the top of the unloading position of the full carrier plastic box through the X / Y / Z module, ready for clamping operation.

[0048] When the gripping mechanism reaches the designated position, the gripping cylinder starts working, and the first and second gripping jaws connected to the two gripping action parts start to grip the full carrier. The design of the gripping jaws fully considers the shape and size of the carrier to ensure that the carrier can be firmly clamped to prevent it from falling or shaking during the transfer process.

[0049] After gripping the full carrier, the gripping mechanism moves to the full carrier placement position again through the X / Y / Z module. This placement position is specially designed to temporarily store the full carrier for subsequent pushing operations.

[0050] At the full carrier placement position, the full carrier pushes the cylinder to start working, pushing the full carrier out of the gripping mechanism and allowing it to flow out through the full carrier flow channel. The design of the flow channel takes into account the carrier's movement speed and direction, ensuring that the carrier can flow out smoothly and reach the next station.

[0051] At the same time, after the gripper completes the pushing operation of the full carrier, it quickly moves to the empty carrier gripping position through the X / Y / Z module. This position is a special position on the roller line for placing empty carriers, waiting for the gripper to grip.

[0052] After the gripping mechanism reaches the empty carrier gripping position, the gripping cylinder is started again to grip the empty carrier through the first and second gripping jaws. After successful gripping, the gripping mechanism moves the empty carrier into the empty carrier plastic and waits for the next full carrier gripping operation.

[0053] Through such a workflow, the automatic loading equipment for fire tubes can efficiently realize the automatic grabbing, transfer and release of the carrier, greatly improving production efficiency, reducing the tediousness and error rate of manual operation, and providing strong technical support for fire tube production in the military field.

[0054] Based on the above ideal embodiments of this application, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this application through the above description. The technical scope of this application is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
