[0002] Copper tubes are common components in industrial equipment. Various high-precision, high-performance copper tube products are increasingly used in aerospace, electronics, automotive, and other fields. As a common metal pipe, copper tubes offer excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and machinability. However, some thinner copper tubes are prone to deformation during production due to their soft material and small diameter, causing significant production inconvenience.

[0003] Currently, thin copper tubes are generally transported in sequence using conveyor belts. During the transportation process, due to the small size of the copper tubes, it is not convenient for the robot to grab them, which cannot meet the high efficiency requirements of the production line. In addition, improper operation can easily lead to scratches and deformation on the surface of the copper tubes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provides an automatic feeding device for copper tubes. The device provides a parking step and a pushing plate, and a pushing step is provided on the pushing plate. A driving mechanism drives the pushing plate to move up and down. With the cooperation of the pushing step and the parking step, the copper tubes can be quickly transported to the feeding step, which is convenient for a robot to catch, and will not cause scratches, deformation, and other problems on the surface of the copper tubes.

[0014] As a preferred solution, the bottom surface of the silo is inclined from bottom to top toward the side close to the material box.

[0015] As a preferred solution, the push plate is inclined from bottom to top toward the side away from the material box.

[0035] The frame 10 is also provided with a first detection part 15 for detecting whether there is a copper tube 40 on the feeding step 122; the frame 10 is also provided with a length detection mechanism 14 for detecting the length of the copper tube 40; the length detection mechanism 14 is arranged on the side wall of the frame 10, and a through hole is provided on the side wall of the frame 10 corresponding to the copper tube 40 on the feeding step 122, and the detection end of the length detection mechanism 14 can pass through the through hole to detect the copper tube 40; the first detection part 15 is used to detect whether there is a copper tube 40 on the feeding step 122, and the result is fed back to the length detection mechanism 14, so that the length detection mechanism 14 detects the length of the copper tube 40 on the feeding step 122, and the result is fed back to the external equipment to realize the capture of the copper tube 40.

[0036] In the present invention, the length detection mechanism 14 is a technical means commonly used by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] A second detection member 22 is provided at the bottom of the silo 20 for detecting whether there is a copper tube 40 in the silo 20, and a third detection member 23 is provided at the material box placement position 21 for detecting whether there is a material box 30; the third detection member 23 can detect whether there is a material box 30, thereby promptly reminding the staff to feed the material in time, and the second detection member 22 is provided to detect whether there is a copper tube 40 in the silo 20, and can issue a warning when the material box 30 fails to discharge the material, thereby ensuring the stable progress of the feeding work.

[0039] The bottom surface of the silo 20 is inclined from bottom to top toward the side close to the material box 30; it is convenient for the copper tube 40 to move toward the push plate 12 for transportation, and the push plate 12 is inclined from bottom to top toward the side away from the material box 30 to prevent the copper tube 40 from falling from the push step 123.

[0040] The method of using the present invention is as follows: put the material box 30 filled with copper tubes 40 into the material box placement position 21, lift the first material box door 33 upwards, open the discharge port 31, and make the copper tubes 40 in the material box 30 enter the material bin 20. Due to the inclined design of the material bin 20, the copper tubes 40 move in front of the push plate 12 by themselves, and the cylinder 11 drives the push plate 12 to move upward. The copper tubes 40 are driven by the push step 123 to be parked, and the cylinder 11 drives the push plate 12 to move downward. The copper tubes 40 on the parking step 13 are driven by the push step 123 to continue to be transported upward. At the same time, another copper tube 40 is driven by the push step 123 to be placed on the parking step 13. Due to the inclined design, the copper tube 40 will not fall, and this process is repeated until the copper tube 40 is driven to the feeding step 122. At this time, the first detection member 15 detects whether the copper tube 40 exists on the feeding step 122. When the first detection member 15 detects that the copper tube 40 exists on the feeding step 122, a signal is sent to the length detection mechanism 14. After the detection, the length detection mechanism 14 feeds back the result to the mechanism, and transports the copper tube 40 to different positions according to the result; when the third detection member 23 detects that there is no material box 30 at the material box placement position 21, an alarm will be issued to remind people to feed; when the second detection member 22 detects that there are insufficient copper tubes 40 in the silo 20, an alarm will be issued to remind people that the material box 30 has not been fed.

[0041] To sum up, the utility model sets a parking step 13 and a pushing plate 12, and sets a pushing step 123 on the pushing plate 12. The driving mechanism drives the pushing plate 12 to move up and down. With the cooperation of the pushing step 123 and the parking step 13, the copper tube 40 is quickly transported to the feeding step 122, which is convenient for the robot to catch. Compared with the existing conveying method, the technology has high conveying efficiency, will not scratch or deform the copper tube 40, ensures product quality, and effectively improves the product yield; by setting a material box placement position 21 in the silo 20 for placing the material box 30, when the material box 30 lacks copper tubes 40, the material box 30 can be directly picked up and replaced. At the same time, some copper tubes 40 can be stored in the silo 20 to ensure the stable operation of the feeding device when replacing the material box 30, thereby improving work efficiency.
