[0002] Generally, when processing refrigerator copper tubes, U-shaped copper tube connectors are usually required to connect the copper tubes. In order to improve the connection efficiency, in the prior art, a large number of U-shaped tubes (3) are generally automatically sorted by a vibration plate, and then they can be quickly processed by mechanical equipment.

[0003] For example, the Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number "CN107323967B" and the name "A Vibrating Plate" sets a discharging lever laterally on the discharging port, and the discharging lever and the discharging port are movably coordinated. The discharging lever includes a first discharging position located at the top of the discharging port and a second discharging position located at the bottom of the discharging port, thereby realizing the selection of the front discharging and the back discharging of the buckle workpiece discharged from the discharging port, and has the effect of simple structure and convenient use.

[0004] The shortcomings of the existing technology are that: generally, when automatically sorting the workpieces, such as the above-mentioned patent, they are customized by setting grooves that are compatible with the workpieces to be arranged, especially for device workpieces shaped like U-shaped pipes. Their use requirements need to be consistent with the set size of the sorting workpieces in order to be used smoothly. However, when most vibrating plates encounter U-shaped copper pipes for transportation, their special shape will cause disordered arrangement, affecting their normal sorting, thereby greatly reducing their sorting effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides an automatic feeding device for U-shaped copper tubes, which solves the problem that the conventional automatic feeding of U-shaped copper tubes is prone to disordered arrangement, thereby affecting the next process.

[0006] According to one aspect of the utility model, a U-shaped copper tube automatic feeding device is provided, comprising a disk body, a vibrator and a guide rail, wherein the vibrator is installed at the bottom of the disk body, and a spiral guide rail is installed in the disk body, wherein the guide rail is inclined and the vertical height of the inner side of the guide rail is higher than that of the outer side, and the guide rail comprises a cover body and a guide rail installed in the cover body and adapted to the curvature of the copper tube, wherein the end of the guide rail is tangent to the top outer wall of the disk body.

[0007] Preferably, based on the above solution, the end of the guide rail is provided with an oblique surface, and the outer wall of the top of the disk body is connected to the tangent of the oblique surface.

[0008] Preferably, based on the above solution, the angle between the cross section of the guide rail and the horizontal plane is 45 to 60 degrees.

[0009] Preferably, based on the above solution, a recovery body is further provided on the disk body, and the recovery body is provided at the lower portion where the guide rail is connected to the outer wall of the disk body, and the bottom of the recovery body is connected to the middle portion of the disk body.

[0010] The utility model discloses an automatic feeding device for U-shaped copper tubes, which improves the structure of the original plane guide rail and sets the guide rail to have a structure with high inside and low outside, so that after the U-shaped copper tube is vibrated, it gradually fits on the outer wall of the disk body as the guide rail gradually rises. Combined with the design of the guide rail and the outer wall of the disk body, the U-shaped copper tubes can be passed through the guide rail one by one, thereby realizing rapid automatic sorting and feeding. It is convenient and quick to use and can effectively avoid the problem that the automatic feeding of the U-shaped copper tubes is disordered in arrangement and affects its effect.

[0019] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in this specification and the appended claims refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0020] In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) used to explain the structure and movement of various components of the present invention are not absolute but relative. These descriptions are applicable when these components are in the positions shown in the accompanying drawings. If the descriptions of the positions of these components are changed, these directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0021] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without inventive work.

[0023] See also Figure 1 , and combined with Figure 2 As shown, the utility model is a U-shaped copper tube automatic feeding device, comprising a disc 1, a vibrator 2 and a guide rail 30, wherein the vibrator 2 is installed at the bottom of the disc 1, and a spiral guide rail 3 is installed in the disc 1. The guide rail 3 is inclined and the vertical height of the inner side of the guide rail 3 is higher than that of the outer side. The guide rail 30 includes a cover 31 and a guide rail 32 installed in the cover 31 and adapted to the curvature of the copper tube. The end of the guide rail 32 is tangent to the top outer wall 11 of the disc 1.

[0024] During use, the bent U-shaped copper tube 5 is placed in the vibration plate, and the vibrator 2 drives the vibration plate to vibrate. Due to the effect of vibration, the U-shaped copper tube 5 will be introduced into the guide rail 3 and gradually move upward. Since the cross-section of the guide rail 3 is inclined to the horizontal plane, the U-shaped copper tube 5 will gradually fit on the outer wall 11 of the vibration plate and move upward one by one. When it moves to the guide rail 32, it will pass through the guide rail 32 one by one, thereby realizing the purpose of automatic sorting and loading of the U-shaped copper tube 5.

[0025] It should be noted that the end of the guide rail 32 of the present invention is provided with a beveled surface 33, and the outer wall 11 at the top of the disk body 1 is connected to the tangent of the beveled surface 33. When the U-shaped copper tubes 5 are fitted one by one on the outer wall 11 of the disk body 1 and move to the end, due to the design of the beveled surface 33 of the guide rail 32, the U-shaped copper tubes 5 are transferred to the guide rail 32 one by one, so that the U-shaped copper tubes 5 are passed through the guide rail 32 and automatically sorted and loaded one by one.

[0026] Preferably, the angle between the cross section of the guide rail 3 of the present invention and the horizontal plane is 45 to 60 degrees, and the guide rail 30 is designed to spirally tilt downward from the connection with the disk body 1 to the free end, thereby realizing automatic transmission of the U-shaped copper tube.

[0027] A recovery body 4 is also provided on the disc body 1 of the present invention. The recovery body 4 is arranged at the lower part where the guide rail 30 is connected to the outer wall 11 of the disc body 1, and the bottom of the recovery body 4 is connected to the middle part of the disc body 1. That is, during the transition between the guide rail 32 and the top of the disc body 1, some U-shaped copper tubes 5 that are not accurately passed through the guide rail 32 will fall into the recovery body 4 for secondary vibration loading.

[0028] The utility model discloses an automatic feeding device for U-shaped copper tubes, which improves the structure of the original planar guide rail 3 and sets the guide rail 3 to have a structure with a high inner side and a low outer side, so that after the U-shaped copper tube 5 is vibrated, as the guide rail 3 gradually rises, it gradually fits on the outer wall 11 of the tray body 1, and combined with the design of the guide rail 32 and the outer wall 11 of the tray body 1, the U-shaped copper tubes 5 can be passed through the guide rail 32 one by one, thereby realizing its rapid automatic sorting and feeding, which is convenient and quick to use, and can effectively avoid the problem that the automatic feeding of the U-shaped copper tubes 5 is disordered in arrangement and affects its effect.

[0029] Finally, the method of this application is only a preferred embodiment and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included in the scope of protection of this utility model.
