Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass tube bundling equipment, in particular to a feeding device for glass tube bundling. Background Art

[0002] Glass tubes are one of the common lampshades for lighting fixtures. In the production process of lamp tubes, in order to facilitate temporary handling, storage and long-distance transportation, multiple lamp tubes of the same length are gathered together and then tied up using a bundling machine. Considering that lamp tubes are generally round and each lamp tube is stable, a bundle of lamp tubes needs to be initially fixed before entering the bundling machine.

[0003] However, the current prior art lacks a feeding device that can be adapted to the strapping machine and can be used to initially fix the lamp tubes, so workers need to first collect and fix a bundle of lamp tubes individually, and then transfer the bundle of lamp tubes to the feeding end of the strapping machine, resulting in low work efficiency and easy damage to the glass tubes. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A feeding device for glass tube bundling includes a bundling machine for glass tube bundling, conveyors are arranged at both ends of the bundling machine, and a feeding device is arranged at the feeding end of the conveyor; wherein,

[0007] The feeding device comprises a base, a material sorting tray and a pneumatic material blocking mechanism. The material sorting tray is horizontally arranged and rotatably mounted on the base, and two pneumatic material blocking mechanisms are respectively mounted on both sides of the material sorting tray.

[0008] A further technical solution is: the pneumatic material blocking mechanism includes a cylinder, a baffle and a spring, the baffle is rotatably installed at the end of the material sorting tray, the two ends of the cylinder are respectively rotatably connected to the bottom end of the baffle and the ear plate of the material sorting tray, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the bottom end of the baffle and the material sorting tray.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the bottom end of the baffle is an arc-shaped structure extending outward.

[0010] A further technical solution is that: the outer end surface of the material sorting tray is provided with a fixing block for supporting the baffle.

[0011] A further technical solution is: the base and the material sorting tray are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft and a column, the rotating shaft is rotatably installed in the stepped cavity of the column, and two matching limit plates are arranged between the stepped cavity and the rotating shaft.

[0012] A further technical solution is: baffle bars distributed along four corners are arranged on the material sorting tray.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The utility model provides a feeding device for glass tube bundling, which can arbitrarily select the feeding direction to adapt to different incoming directions. When feeding, the pneumatic blocking mechanism can block one end, which is conducive to the alignment of several glass tubes. At the same time, after the glass tubes are aligned, the pneumatic blocking mechanisms at both ends are in a non-working state, which will not hinder workers from initially fixing the bundled glass tubes. Moreover, the pneumatic blocking mechanism can serve as a transition bridge, which is conducive to the glass tubes being smoothly pushed onto the bundling machine. The device greatly improves the efficiency of glass tube bundling and reduces the risk of damage to glass tubes during transportation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a feeding device for glass tube bundling includes a bundling machine 1 for bundling glass tubes 2, conveyors 3 are arranged at both ends of the bundling machine 1, and a feeding device 4 is arranged at the feeding end of the conveyor 3; the feeding device 4 includes a base 5, a material sorting tray 6 and a pneumatic material blocking mechanism 7, the material sorting tray 6 is horizontally arranged and rotatably installed on the base 5, and two pneumatic material blocking mechanisms 7 are respectively installed on both sides of the material sorting tray 6.

[0028] When the glass tubes 2 are fed from the processing equipment, the material tray 6 can be rotated at a certain angle so that one of the pneumatic material blocking mechanisms 7 is just opposite to the incoming direction, and then the glass tubes 2 on the processing equipment are transferred to the material tray 6 manually or by a robot. During this period, another pneumatic material blocking mechanism 7 blocks one end of the glass tube 2 for alignment of the glass tube 2. When all the glass tubes 2 are aligned on the material tray 6, the pneumatic material blocking mechanisms 7 on both sides of the material tray 6 will not hinder the ends of the glass tubes 2, which is convenient for workers to enter and exit the two ends of the glass tubes 2 for preliminary fixing. The preliminary fixing method can be carton fixing or film winding, etc. Finally, the pneumatic material blocking mechanism 7 acts as a transition bridge, and the glass tubes 2 after preliminary fixing are pushed and reach the conveyor 3 through the transition bridge, and the strapping machine 1 performs the final strapping of the glass tubes 2.

[0029] Preferably, the pneumatic material blocking mechanism 7 includes a cylinder 8, a baffle 9 and a spring 10. The baffle 9 is rotatably installed at the end of the material sorting tray 6. The two ends of the cylinder 8 are respectively rotatably connected to the bottom end of the baffle 9 and the ear plate 11 of the material sorting tray 6. The two ends of the spring 10 are respectively connected to the bottom end of the baffle 9 and the material sorting tray 6.

[0030] When the cylinder 8 starts to extend, the baffle 9 is pushed into a vertical state, and the spring 10 is stretched. At this time, the vertical baffle 9 blocks the glass tube 2 to prevent the glass tube 2 from sliding off the material arrangement tray 6, and also facilitates the alignment of multiple glass tubes 2;

[0031] When the cylinder 8 is closed, the spring 10 returns to its original position and pulls the baffle 9 to a horizontal state, making it convenient for the glass tube 2 to enter and exit the material handling tray 6.

[0032] Preferably, the bottom end of the baffle 9 is an arc-shaped structure extending outward.

[0033] The bottom of the baffle 9 is in an outward arc shape, which can prevent the cylinder 8 from interfering with the material arrangement tray 6 when rotating.

[0034] Preferably, a fixing block 12 for supporting the baffle 9 is provided on the outer end surface of the material sorting tray 6 .

[0035] The fixing block 12 can support the baffle plate 9 when it is horizontal, and when the baffle plate 9 is used as a transition bridge, it can bear more weight and be more stable.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 5 and the material sorting tray 6 are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 13 and a column 14 . The rotating shaft 13 is rotatably installed in a stepped cavity of the column 14 . Two matching limiting plates 15 are provided between the stepped cavity and the rotating shaft 13 .

[0038] When the material tray 6 rotates a certain angle on the base 5, Figure 3 As shown, when rotating 180°, the two limit plates 15 press against each other to play a limiting role. First, it prevents unlimited rotation, which may bring risk of damage to the glass tube 2. Second, it facilitates the alignment of the end of the material tray 6 with the conveyor 3 for unloading.

[0039] Preferably, the material sorting tray 6 is provided with blocking rods 16 distributed along four corners.

[0040] The blocking rod 16 is used to block the glass 2 to prevent it from being scattered.

[0041] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
