[0024] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The figure shows a specific implementation of the tubular material dividing device of the utility model, which is used to sequentially feed tubular materials and sequentially separate individual tubular materials so as to facilitate grabbing operations at subsequent workstations.

[0026] The material dividing device includes a feeding part 10 and a dividing part 20 which are arranged in sequence, wherein the feeding part 10 is used to arrange a plurality of tubular materials in sequence and feed them in sequence, and includes a silo 11 for accommodating a plurality of tubular materials and an arrangement member 12 located on the upper side of the silo 11, and a layer of tubular material a is accommodated between the arrangement member 12 and the silo 11.

[0027] The material distribution part 20 includes a lifting support part 21 for supporting the tubular material a passing through the outlet of the silo 11 and a material distribution platform 22, wherein the material distribution platform 22 is suitable for accommodating one tubular material a, and the interval between the material distribution platform 22 and the outlet of the silo 11 is suitable for one tubular material a to pass through; the lifting support part 21 supports the tubular material a passing through the outlet of the silo 11 and moves it to the material distribution platform 22 through a lifting operation.

[0028] The feeding part 10 of the above-mentioned dividing device is provided with an arranging piece 12 on the silo 11, so that only one row of tubular materials a can be accommodated between the silo 11 and the arranging piece 12, thereby realizing sequential feeding of the tubular materials a; and the dividing part 20 is provided with a lifting support part 21 between the dividing platform 22 and the silo 11, so that the tubular materials a passing through the outlet of the silo 11 can be moved to the dividing platform 22, and the gap between the dividing platform 22 and the silo 11 is suitable for accommodating one tubular material a, thereby realizing the dividing operation of the tubular material a, with a simple structure and high dividing reliability; the whole process only requires one power mechanism of the lifting support part 21, and the production cost is low.

[0029] Specifically, in an optional embodiment, the material distribution platform 22 is a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole, and its width matches the width of the silo 11, that is, it is basically the same as or slightly larger than the width of the silo 11, and its height is slightly higher than the outlet of the silo 11. The upper surface of the material distribution platform 22 is provided with a material distribution trough 221 suitable for accommodating the tubular material a, and the material distribution trough 221 extends along its width direction. By setting the height of the material distribution platform 22 to be higher than the outlet height of the silo 11, so that the lifting support part 21 can be raised to lift the tubular material a on the outlet side of the silo 11 to a position consistent with the upper surface of the material distribution platform 22, the material distribution operation of the tubular material a is realized, and the problem of the material distribution platform 22 being lower than the outlet of the silo 11, which causes the material to be easily accumulated, is avoided.

[0030] Specifically, in an optional embodiment, the upper surface of the material distribution table 22 close to the feeding part 10 is inclined, so that the tubular material a lifted by the lifting support part 21 can slide along the upper surface of the material distribution table 22 to the inner side of the material distribution trough 221, thereby achieving better positioning of the tubular material a and facilitating the subsequent workstations to grasp it.

[0031] Specifically, in an optional embodiment, the lifting support part 21 includes a support member 211 and a linear drive device 212 for driving the support member 211 to lift and lower. The support member 211 is lifted and lowered under the action of the linear drive device 212 to drive the tubular material a located thereon to move from the outlet position of the silo 11 to the upper surface of the material distribution platform 22. More specifically, the linear drive device 212 is a linear motor, a cylinder or an oil cylinder; the support member 211 is formed as an L-shaped plate, a first support plate of the L-shaped plate extending in the horizontal direction is fixed to the output end of the linear drive device 212, and the upper surface of the second support plate of the L-shaped plate extending in the vertical direction is used to support the tubular material a passing through the outlet of the silo 11.

[0032] Specifically, in an optional embodiment, the upper surface of the support member 211 is inclined so that the tubular material a sliding out of the outlet of the silo 11 can be located in the acute-angle clamping area formed between the inclined surface of the support member 211 and the longitudinal side of the distribution platform 22, thereby preventing the tubular material a from rolling when the support member 211 is raised or lowered. When the support member 211 is lifted to the position of the upper surface of the distribution platform 22, the tubular material a slides along the upper surface of the support member 211 onto the distribution platform 22.

[0033] Specifically, in an optional embodiment, the inclination angles of the upper surfaces of the distribution platform 22 and the support member 211 are consistent. When the support member 211 rises to a set height under the action of the linear drive device 212, the support member 211 and the upper surface of the distribution platform 22 form a flat inclined surface, so that the tubular material a can slide more smoothly into the distribution trough 221.

[0034] Specifically, in an optional embodiment, the silo 11 includes a support bottom plate 111 and baffles 112 located on opposite sides of the support bottom plate 111. The upper surface of the support bottom plate 111 is inclined, and the tubular material a can move along the support bottom plate 111 toward the outlet side of the silo 11. The inclined silo 11 can make the tubular material a slide toward the outlet under the action of its own gravity without the need for feeding power. The distance between the two baffles 112 matches the length of the tubular material a, that is, the distance between the two baffles 112 is consistent with the length of the tubular material a or slightly greater than its length, which can limit the position of the tubular material a and make its sliding stable.

[0035] The structure of the arrangement member 12 is not unique. In an optional embodiment, the arrangement member 12 is a plate body extending from the entrance to the outlet of the silo 11, and the plate surface of the arrangement member 12 is parallel to the baffle 112. The arrangement member 12 can be detachably mounted on the baffle 112 of the silo 11 through other connecting structures. In other embodiments, the arrangement member 12 can also be formed into a plate body with a plate surface arranged parallel to the support bottom plate 111 of the silo 11, and its two sides are fixed on the baffle 112. The arrangement member 12 can be entirely covered on the support bottom plate 111 of the silo 11, or partially covered on the support bottom plate 111 of the silo 11, as long as the distance between the arrangement member 12 and the support bottom plate 111 is slightly larger than the diameter of the tubular material a.

[0036] The inclination angle of the upper surface of the silo 11 relative to the horizontal direction is smaller than the inclination angle of the upper surface of the support 211 relative to the horizontal direction, so that the tubular material a passing through the outlet of the silo 11 is closely attached to the longitudinal side of the distribution platform 22, so as to improve the reliability of the support 211 when it is lifted.

[0037] The working process of the above-mentioned material dividing device is as follows: first, the tubular material a is placed on the upper surface of the silo 11, and the tubular material a is arranged in a single row under the action of the arranging member 12, and the tubular material a located on the outlet side of the silo 11 slides down into the gap between the silo 11 and the dividing platform 22 under the action of the inclined surface and is supported by the support member 211. The linear drive device 212 lifts the support member 211 at a certain time interval to lift the tubular material a to the upper side of the dividing platform 22, and slides down into the dividing trough 221 of the dividing platform 22 under the guidance of the support member 211 and the inclined surface of the dividing platform 22, so as to facilitate the grabbing operation of the subsequent workstation.

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
