[0024] See also Figure 1 , and combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the utility model is a batch copper tube uniform feeding device for being installed between the cooling copper tube 4 cutting equipment and the bending equipment, that is, after the cooling copper tube 4 is cut to a fixed length and a straight line segment of the copper tube is formed, it needs to be introduced into the bending equipment for bending, and the cutting speed is generally greater than the bending speed, and in view of space utilization considerations, the bending equipment is usually placed downward, so that the cut straight copper tubes need to be transported to the bending equipment in sequence.

[0025] The utility model discloses a batch copper tube uniform feeding device comprising a mounting plate 1, a stopper 2 and a limit clip 3; the stopper 2 is L-shaped, and its short side is hinged to the mounting plate 1 by screws, that is, the stopper 2 can rotate relative to the mounting plate 1, and the limit clip 3 comprises an L-shaped left baffle 31 and a right baffle 33, and the left baffle 31 and the right baffle 33 are arranged at relative intervals to form a limit space 35 for accommodating the copper tubes in a straight line after cutting, so that the copper tubes are uniformly clamped in the limit space 35 in a straight line from bottom to top, so that they can be discharged one by one.

[0026] Among them, a first card slot 32 is provided on the short side of the left baffle 31, and the first card slot 32 is adapted to the thickness of the baffle, and a second card slot is provided on the short side of the right baffle 33, and the length of the second card slot is greater than the first card slot 32, and the second card slot is arranged relative to the output end of the cooling copper tube 4 cutting equipment, so that when the baffle head 2 is engaged in the first card slot 32 and the second card slot, a gap is formed between the baffle head 2 and the bottom of the second card slot, so as to receive the linear copper tube output from the cutting equipment.

[0027] When in use, the batch copper tube uniform feeding device of the present application is set on the side close to the second card slot, and the output end of the cutting equipment is aligned with the second card slot. The straight copper tube is introduced into the limited space 35 through the second card slot. Under the action of its gravity, it automatically falls from top to bottom into the bending equipment at the bottom, thereby realizing its automatic transfer and output.

[0028] Preferably, the present invention further provides a long hole 11 on the mounting plate 1 , and the stopper 2 is locked in the long hole 11 by means of bolts.

[0029] It should be noted that the short side thickness of the left baffle 31 of the present invention is equal to the short side thickness of the right baffle 33, and the thickness of the left baffle 31 and the right baffle 33 is greater than the diameter of the cooling copper tube 4. Preferably, the thickness of the left baffle 31 and the right baffle 33 is 1.2-1.5 times the diameter of the cooling copper tube 4, thereby avoiding the problem of inaccurate output caused by the overlap of two copper tubes due to excessive gap. At the same time, it can also avoid the problem of copper tubes being stuck due to excessive gap and obstruction of output.

[0030] The utility model provides a batch copper tube uniform feeding device, which is installed between the end of the cooling copper tube 4 cutting machine and the bending equipment, so as to realize automatic sorting of the copper tube after cutting and highly positioned and transported to the bending equipment, thereby improving processing efficiency. Specifically, the utility model installs a left baffle 31 and a right baffle 33 through the mounting plate 1, and forms a space adapted to the thickness of the copper tube through the left baffle 31 and the right baffle 33. The copper tube can be quickly put into the above space by utilizing the gap formed between the second card slot on the right baffle 33 and the baffle head 2. The copper tube can be automatically sorted and output to the bending equipment one by one by utilizing its own weight. At this time, it is only necessary to ensure that the positioning structure of the bending equipment is aligned with the space formed by the left baffle 31 and the right baffle 33 of the present application, so as to effectively ensure its rapid and automatic transportation. In the whole process, no manual labor is required, and the speed is fast and accurate.
