[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6As shown in the figure, a fully automatic feeding device for ball joints includes a feeder 1 and a double ball joint pipe 2. The output end of the feeder 1 is connected to the input end of the double ball joint pipe 2. It also includes a discharge pipe 3, a driving mechanism 4, a ring 5, a first push cylinder 6 and a sleeve 7. The discharge pipe 3 is installed on the output end of the double ball joint pipe 2. The driving mechanism 4 is located below the discharge pipe 3. The ring 5 is rotatably installed on the driving mechanism 4. The discharge pipe 3 passes through the inside of the ring 5. The fixed end of the first push cylinder 6 is installed on the ring 5, and the end of the piston rod of the first push cylinder 6 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 7. The sleeve 7 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 3. It also includes a lighting lamp 12, which is installed on the output end of the discharge pipe 3. The driving mechanism 4 includes a wheel frame 13, two lower track wheels 14, an upper track wheel 15, a gear 16, a reduction motor 17 and a gear ring 18. The wheel frame 13 is located below the ring 5. The two lower track wheels 14 are rotatably installed at both ends of the wheel frame 13. The two lower track wheels 14 roll and support the lower outer wall of the ring 5. The upper track wheel 15 is rotatably installed in the middle of the wheel frame 13. The upper track wheel 15 rolls and presses against the lower inner wall of the ring 5. The gear 16 is installed on the wheel surface of the upper track wheel 15. The reduction motor 17 is installed on the wheel frame 13. The output shaft of the reduction motor 17 is drivingly connected to the upper track wheel 15. The gear ring 18 is concentrically installed on the inner wall of the ring 5. The gear ring 18 meshes with the gear 16. It also includes a grating ring 19 and a grating head 20. The grating ring 19 is concentrically installed on the end face of the ring 5. The grating head 20 is installed on the wheel frame 13. The grating head 20 cooperates with the grating ring 19 to detect the angle of the ring 5. It also includes a sliding table 21 and a second push cylinder 22. The sliding table 21 is installed below the ring 5. The wheel frame 13 is slidably installed on the sliding table 21. The fixed end of the second push cylinder 22 is installed at one end of the sliding table 21. The piston rod of the second push cylinder 22 is connected to the wheel frame 13.

[0022] During operation, materials are conveyed from the feeder 1 to the double-ball joint pipe 2 and output through the discharge pipe 3. Two lower track wheels 14 and an upper track wheel 15 rollingly support the ring 5. The reduction motor 17 drives the upper track wheel 15 to rotate, causing the upper track wheel 15 to drive the gear 16 to rotate. The gear 16 meshes with the gear ring 18, thereby driving the ring 5 to rotate under the rolling support of the two lower track wheels 14 and the upper track wheel 15. Under the action of the sleeve 7, the first push cylinder 6 rotates around the discharge pipe 3. At the same time, the piston rod of the first push cylinder 6 contracts or extends, enabling the output end of the discharge pipe 3 to flexibly adjust the height, orientation, and angle inside the ring 5. The grating head 20 and the grating ring 19 cooperate to detect the rotation angle of the ring 5, thereby improving the accuracy of the angle adjustment of the output end of the discharge pipe 3 and further enhancing the accuracy of material feeding. The piston rod of the second push cylinder 22 contracts or extends to push the wheel carrier 13 to move on the sliding table 21, thereby adjusting the front and rear protruding positions of the ring 5 and the discharge pipe 3 and improving the flexibility of material feeding. The lighting lamp 12 is turned on to illuminate and guide the materials output from the discharge pipe 3, facilitating observation, so that the materials output through the discharge pipe 3 are conveyed to different receiving units.

[0023] Embodiment 2

[0024] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the double-ball joint pipe 2 includes an inner pipe 8, an outer pipe 9, two inner ball heads 10, and two outer ball shells 11. The relative ends of the inner pipe 8 and the outer pipe 9 are movably inserted and connected. Inner ball heads 10 are installed on the principle ends of the inner pipe 8 and the outer pipe 9. The two inner ball heads 10 are respectively rotatably connected to the two outer ball shells 11. The two outer ball shells 11 are respectively connected to the output end of the feeder 1 and the input end of the discharge pipe 3.

[0025] The movable insertion connection between the inner pipe 8 and the outer pipe 9 enables the inner pipe 8 and the outer pipe 9 to expand and contract. The two inner ball heads 10 are respectively rotatably connected to the two outer ball shells 11, realizing the angular displacement between the outer ball shell 11 and the inner ball head 10. Thus, when the output end of the discharge pipe 3 is adjusted, the middle part of the double-ball joint pipe 2 expands and contracts adaptively, and at the same time, the two ends of the double-ball joint pipe 2 bend adaptively, with high degrees of freedom and the ability to compensate for large angular displacements and large amounts of expansion and contraction.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, a fully automatic feeding device for a ball joint of the present utility model, when working, first the material is conveyed from the feeder 1 to the double ball joint pipe 2 and output through the discharge pipe 3. Then, the reduction motor 17 drives the upper track wheel 15 to rotate, causing the upper track wheel 15 to drive the gear 16 to rotate. The gear 16 meshes with the gear ring 18, thereby driving the ring 5 to rotate under the rolling support of the two lower track wheels 14 and the upper track wheel 15. Under the action of the sleeve 7, the first push cylinder 6 rotates around the discharge pipe 3. Then, the piston rod of the first push cylinder 6 contracts or extends, enabling the output end of the discharge pipe 3 to flexibly adjust the height, orientation, and angle inside the ring 5. The piston rod of the second push cylinder 22 contracts or extends to push the wheel carrier 13 to move on the sliding table 21, thereby adjusting the front and rear protruding positions of the ring 5 and the discharge pipe 3, so that the material output through the discharge pipe 3 is conveyed to different receiving units. Finally, when adjusting the output end of the discharge pipe 3, the middle part of the double ball joint pipe 2 undergoes adaptive expansion and contraction, and the two ends of the double ball joint pipe 2 undergo adaptive bending, making the material conveying smooth and stable.

[0030] 3. The grating head 20 and the grating ring 19 cooperate to detect the rotation angle of the ring 5, improving the accuracy of feeding.
