[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , a feeding device for a pen body provided by the present invention includes a mounting base 1. A material conveying component 2 is movably arranged inside the mounting base 1. The plurality of material conveying components 2 are composed of conveying pipes. The material conveying component 2 is driven by a chain. A first pushing component 3 and a second pushing component 4 are fixedly arranged on the front surface of the mounting base 1. The pushing frequencies of the first pushing component 3 and the second pushing component 4 are adapted to the rotation frequency of the material conveying component 2. An air pump 5 is fixedly arranged on the front surface of the mounting base 1. A cylinder is arranged on the top of the air pump 5. An installation block 6 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the cylinder. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly arranged on the top of the installation block 6. A rotating part 8 is movably arranged on the top of the connecting plate 7. A suction attachment 9 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the rotating part 8. A material shortage detection component 12 and an infrared detection probe 11 are fixedly arranged on the top of the mounting base 1. A single-chip microcomputer is arranged inside the rotating part 8. The single-chip microcomputer is electrically connected to the infrared detection probe 11, the cylinder, and the air pump 5. By setting the first pushing component 3, the infrared detection probe 11, the cylinder, the air pump 5, the rotating part 8, the suction attachment 9, and the material conveying component 2, when the pen body is in the wrong position, when the first pushing component 3 expands and contracts, the pen body with the small head facing the air pump 5 can be pushed out. The pushed pen body will pass through the bottom of the infrared detection probe 11. When the infrared detection probe 11 detects that an object has passed, it will send a signal to the single-chip microcomputer. The single-chip microcomputer controls the cylinder to move downwards to make the suction attachment 9 suck up the pen body with the wrong direction, and makes the rotating part 8 drive the suction attachment 9 to rotate, thereby changing the direction of the pen body, realizing the automatic adjustment of the pen body direction, without manual subsequent interference adjustment, and improving the overall assembly efficiency of the equipment;

[0025] Referring to Figure 3 , in order to achieve the purpose of material collection, a receiving structure 10 is fixedly arranged on the back surface of the mounting base 1. The receiving structure 10 includes two sockets 101 fixedly connected to the mounting base 1. The same placing plate 102 is fixedly arranged between the two sockets 101. The same material receiving frame 103 is arranged between the two sockets 101. The material receiving frame 103 is made of stainless steel. A rubber pad is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the bottom of the material receiving frame 103. If some pen bodies with wrong positions are not corrected, when they move to the position of the second pushing component 4, they will still be pushed out by the second pushing component 4 and fall into the material receiving frame 103, realizing the collection of materials, and the situation that the pen body falls and is damaged will not occur;

[0026] Referring to Figure 3, for the purpose of achieving quick disassembly, slots are provided on the sides of the socket 101 close to each other. Insert bars 104 are fixedly provided on both sides of the material receiving frame 103. The insert bars 104 are adapted to the slots. When the materials in the material receiving frame 103 are stacked up, the material receiving frame 103 is pulled upward. The material receiving frame 103 drives the insert bars 104 to move upward. When the insert bars 104 are disengaged from the socket 101, it can be removed. The materials in the material receiving frame 103 are poured out, facilitating the subsequent re-conveying and feeding of the materials.

[0027] Working principle: The thrust of the second pushing component 4 is greater than that of the first pushing component 3. During feeding, the pen body will be placed between adjacent conveying pipes in sequence, with the large end of the pen body facing the direction of the air pump 5, and one end of the pen body always in contact with the mounting seat 1 at the bottom of the material shortage detection component 12. When the material conveying component 2 operates, it will drive the pen body to pass through the bottom of the material shortage detection component 12. If there is a situation of missing material placement, the material shortage detection component 12 will issue an alarm, which can serve the purpose of reminding the staff. When the first pushing component 3 expands and contracts, it can push out the pen body with the small end facing the air pump 5. The pushed-out pen body is the pen body with the incorrect direction. If the pen body is in the correct position, the push rod of the first pushing component 3 will insert into the round hole of the pen body without contacting the pen body. The pushed-out pen body will pass through the bottom of the infrared detection probe 11. When the infrared detection probe 11 detects that an object has passed, it will send a signal to the single-chip microcomputer. The single-chip microcomputer controls the cylinder to move downward to make the suction attachment 9 suck up the pen body with the incorrect direction, and makes the rotating part 8 drive the suction attachment 9 to rotate, thereby changing the direction of the pen body. Finally, the suction attachment 9 stops sucking the pen body, and the pen body will fall on the top of the material conveying component 2 and continue to participate in the feeding of the materials. If some pen bodies with incorrect positions are not corrected, when they move to the position of the second pushing component 4, they will still be pushed out by the second pushing component 4 and fall into the material receiving frame 103, realizing the collection of the materials, and the situation where the pen body falls and is damaged will not occur.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
