[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] Figures 1 to 7An embodiment of the tubular material feeding device of the utility model is shown. The tubular material feeding device of this embodiment includes a feeding mechanism 1, a material transfer mechanism 2, a material distance mechanism 3 and an operation conveying mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism 1 is used to rotate the material to an inclined state. The material transfer mechanism 2 is arranged between the feeding mechanism 1 and the material distance mechanism 3, and is used to side-take the material in the inclined state and transfer the material to the material distance mechanism 3 row by row. The material distance mechanism 3 is used to place the material on the operation conveying mechanism 4 after distance.

[0035] The working process of the tubular material feeding device is as follows: First, the feeding mechanism 1 is used to rotate the material to Figure 3 The inclined state shown; secondly, the material transfer mechanism 2 takes the material in the inclined state from the side and transfers the material row by row to the material separation mechanism 3. Specifically, the material transfer mechanism 2 takes the material (tubular object) in the inclined state from top to bottom along the inclined direction of the feeding mechanism 1 and transfers the material row by row to the material separation mechanism 3; then, the material separation mechanism 3 puts the material on the operation conveying mechanism 4 after separation, and the material is then transported by the operation conveying mechanism 4 to the subsequent workstation for related operations. This tubular object feeding device distributes the rotation and separation on two independent mechanisms (material transfer mechanism 2 and material separation mechanism 3). Compared with the mechanism that integrates material grabbing, rotation and separation, the structure of each sub-mechanism is simpler, easier to manufacture, and lower in cost. In addition, the material is taken from the side row by row from top to bottom in the inclined state, which not only avoids the material from tipping over and colliding during the material collection process and being damaged, but also prevents debris from falling into the material during the material collection process and polluting the internal environment of the material.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a rotating frame 11 and a tilting drive assembly 12 for driving the rotating frame 11 to flip, and a material placement table 13 is provided on the rotating frame 11. The rotating frame 11 is provided with a material stop assembly 14 at one end of the material placement table 13, and side stop assemblies 15 that can move inward and outward are provided on both sides of the material placement table 13. The tilting drive assembly 12 can drive the rotating frame 11 to rotate, so that the material placement table 13 is in a horizontal state and docked with the upstream feeding mechanism. When the material placement table 13 is full of materials, the tilting drive assembly 12 drives the rotating frame 11 to rotate again, so that the material placement table 13 is in a tilted state, waiting for the material transfer mechanism 2 to tilt and take the materials. Of course, in other embodiments, the tilting drive assembly 12 can also directly drive the rotating frame 11 to rotate, so that the material placement table 13 is in a tilted state and docked with the upstream feeding mechanism. When the material placement table 13 is full of materials, waiting for the material transfer mechanism 2 to tilt and take the materials. After the material is tilted, the material transfer mechanism 2 takes the material and transfers it to the material separation mechanism 3 to avoid the material from tipping over and being damaged during the material taking process.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the material blocking assembly 14 includes a blocking rod 141, which is swingably set on the rotating frame 11, and the side blocking assembly 15 includes a side baffle 151 set on the rotating frame 11 and a moving driving member 152 for driving the side baffle 151 to move inward and outward. The blocking rod 141 is swingably set on the rotating frame 11, and the material placement table 13 is fed from the side where the blocking rod 141 is located and discharged from the other side. When feeding, the blocking rod 141 is swung up to avoid blocking the feeding. After the feeding is completed, the blocking rod 141 is swung down to block the material from the lower side of the material when the material placement table 13 rotates and tilts (blocking the material from the back), which is beneficial to ensure that the material does not shift on the material placement table 13 during the tilting process, and can also help ensure that the material does not move when taking the material. Moreover, when feeding, the mobile driving member 152 can drive the side baffles 151 to move inward until the distance between the two side baffles 151 is equivalent to the length of a row of materials, so that the materials are placed on the material placement table 13 in rows; when discharging, the mobile driving member 152 drives the side baffles 151 to move outward to increase the distance between the two side baffles 151 to avoid interfering with the material transfer mechanism 2 in taking materials.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the material transfer mechanism 2 includes a mechanical arm 21 and a side suction assembly 22 arranged on the mechanical arm 21. The mechanical arm 21 is arranged between the rotating frame 11 and the material separation mechanism 3. The side suction assembly 22 is used to suck the outer side of the material. After the side suction assembly 22 sucks the material from the upper side of the material, it transfers the material to the material separation mechanism 3 under the drive of the mechanical arm 21. Preferably, the side suction assembly 22 sucks a row of materials at a time. The side suction assembly 22 sucks the material from the upper side of the material from top to bottom to avoid bringing in foreign matter into the material and polluting the internal environment of the material.

[0039] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the operation conveying mechanism 4 includes a circulating conveying assembly 41 and a plurality of bearing seats 42 provided on the circulating conveying assembly 41 and arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the circulating conveying assembly 41, and the material separation mechanism 3 is provided above the bearing seat 42. The material separation mechanism 3 separates the materials and places them on the bearing seat 42 on the circulating conveying assembly 41. Preferably, the material separation mechanism 3 places a row of materials on the circulating conveying assembly 41 at a time.

[0040] Furthermore, if Figures 5 to 7As shown, in this embodiment, the material spacing mechanism 3 includes a first lifting frame 31, a second lifting frame 33 and a plurality of variable distance guide seats 32 which are arranged side by side on the first lifting frame 31 and can change the distance. The second lifting frame 33 is provided with a material pressing part 34 above each variable distance guide seat 32. The material pressing part 34 presses the material on the variable distance guide seat 32 into the supporting seat 42 as the second lifting frame 33 descends. Distance separation process: the material transfer mechanism 2 transfers the materials in rows to the variable-pitch guide seats 32 arranged side by side; secondly, each variable-pitch guide seat 32 varies its pitch so that each material corresponds to the lower support seat 42; then, the first lifting frame 31 drives the variable-pitch guide seat 32 to descend so that the variable-pitch guide seat 32 and the support seat 42 are at an appropriate distance; then, the second lifting frame 33 drives each pressing part 34 to descend and press the lower material into the corresponding support seat 42; finally, the second lifting frame 33 drives each pressing part 34 to rise and reset, and the first lifting frame 31 drives each variable-pitch guide seat 32 to rise and reset to prevent interference materials from moving with the circulating conveying assembly 41. Furthermore, the spacing between each pressing part 34 is fixed and is the same as the spacing between each variable-pitch guide seat 32 after the pitch is changed.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a guide hole 321 for materials to pass through is penetrated in the variable pitch guide seat 32. In one direction, the guide hole 321 can be used to accommodate materials, so as to facilitate the horizontal movement of materials to achieve variable pitch; in another direction, the guide hole 321 is used to guide materials into the clamping hole on the bearing seat 42.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom of the pressing portion 34 is conical, so that in the process of pressing the material (tubular object), the pressing portion 34 only contacts the material at the opening of the tail of the material (which needs to be folded and sealed later), and the part extending into the material does not contact the inner wall of the material, which is conducive to ensuring that the feeding process of the material (tubular object) is aseptic, and at the same time, it is conducive to pressing down flexible materials, such as hoses. Of course, in other embodiments, the bottom of the pressing portion 34 can also be designed to be smaller than the opening of the tail of the material, or larger than the opening of the tail of the material, so that the pressing portion 3 contacts the end surface of the tail of the material.

[0043] The tubular object feeding device is used for tubular object feeding, such as hose feeding.
