[0025] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The exemplary embodiments and descriptions are only used to explain the present invention but are not intended to limit the present invention. Example

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this embodiment provides a component automatic feeding device for a material tube 55, comprising: a frame 5;

[0027] A magazine 8 is provided on the frame 5 for loading material tubes 55. The magazine 8 is provided with a magazine 54 for stacking the material tubes 55. The magazine 54 is tilted, and the material tubes 55 stacked in the magazine 54 are tilted, and the discharge port of the material tubes 55 is lower than the other end. An exit 9 is provided on the bottom side of the magazine 54 to facilitate the exit of the material tubes 55.

[0028] The tube ejection assembly is provided on the side of the magazine 8 and is used to eject the finished feeding tube 55 in the magazine 8 from the magazine 54;

[0029] One end of the discharge guiding assembly is connected to the outlet of the material pipe 55 in the feeding state, and a discharge positioning groove 14 is provided at the end of the discharge guiding assembly.

[0030] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The tube ejection assembly includes a tube ejection cylinder 6 mounted on the magazine 8 and a tube ejection push plate 7 mounted on the tube ejection cylinder 6. The tube ejection push plate 7 is located on the side opposite the exit 9, such that the discharge tube 55 is located between the tube ejection push plate 7 and the exit 9. The tube ejection cylinder 6 drives the tube ejection push plate 7 to quickly eject the empty tube 55 from the magazine 8, resulting in high efficiency.

[0031] See Figure 3 The magazine 8 is provided with a purge cylinder 52, and the cylinder rod of the purge cylinder 52 is provided with a main purge nozzle 51. Driven by the purge cylinder 52, the main purge nozzle 51 has a purge position to prevent the material pipe 55 from moving away from its discharge port, and an idle position to disengage from the material pipe 55. The main purge nozzle 51 increases the downward traction force on the product, making product discharge smoother and preventing product from getting stuck in the material pipe 55 or the discharge chute 16. The main purge nozzle 51 only operates when product is stuck in the discharge chute 16 or the material pipe 55.

[0032] See Figure 2 An empty tube bin 13 is provided on the frame 5 for collecting the empty material tubes 55 ejected from the magazine chamber 8; in order to facilitate the storage of the material tubes 55, the empty tube bin 13 is located on the side of the exit port 9 of the magazine chamber 8, and a sensor for detecting an empty tube falling into the empty tube bin 13 can be provided at the opening of the empty tube bin 13, such as a laser sensor.

[0033] See Figure 2 In order to ensure that the material tube 55 is in the correct position and correctly docked with the material discharge chute 16 during unloading, a clamping avoidance cylinder 11 is provided on the magazine 8, and a clamping cylinder 17 is provided on the clamping avoidance cylinder 11. The clamping cylinder 17 is provided with a clamping block 10 for pressing the material tube 55 toward the tube withdrawal push plate 7 at the exit 9. The clamping avoidance cylinder 11 drives the clamping cylinder 17 to rise and fall to avoid the empty material tube 55 ejected from the exit 9.

[0034] See Figure 3 In order to prevent the product in the material tube 55 from falling accidentally, a stop pin is usually set at the discharge port of the material tube 55. Therefore, the stop pin needs to be pulled out when unloading. The frame 5 of this embodiment is provided with a rotating cylinder 18, and the rotating cylinder 18 is provided with a pin pulling cylinder 50. The pin pulling cylinder 50 is provided with a pin pulling claw cylinder 56, and the frame 5 below the pin pulling cylinder 50 is provided with a pin receiving box 19, which works automatically and has high efficiency.

[0035] See Figure 2 In order to facilitate the introduction of the product into the discharge positioning groove 14, the discharge guiding assembly includes an inclined discharge chute 16 and a horizontal discharge positioning groove 14. The head of the discharge positioning groove 14 is connected to the tail end of the discharge chute 16, and the top of the discharge chute 16 is connected to the outlet of the material pipe 55 in the magazine 8. The discharge chute 16 and the discharge positioning groove form an arc-shaped transition chute 53 at the connection point to reduce the damping of the product when it transfers from the discharge chute 16 to the discharge positioning groove 14. In order to prevent the product from getting stuck in the transition chute 53, the unloading chute 16 is provided with an auxiliary blowing nozzle 15, which blows high-pressure gas in the direction of the transition chute 53 obliquely downward. At the same time, in order to prevent the product from ejecting from the transition chute 53, the discharging guide assembly is provided with a material blocking beam 12, which is located above the transition chute 53. The distance between the top of the transition chute 53 and the material blocking beam 12 is less than the height of the product in the material pipe 55. The end of the discharging positioning groove 14 is provided with a material shortage sensor 57 for detecting whether there is a product in the discharging positioning groove 14. The material shortage sensor 57 can be a proximity switch. The material shortage sensor 57 controls the auxiliary blowing nozzle 15 and the main purge nozzle 51 to operate in sequence by detecting whether there is a product in the discharging positioning groove 14. When there is still no product in the discharging positioning groove 14, the pipe retracting assembly is activated and the empty material pipe 55 is ejected. Here, a proximity switch can be set at the auxiliary blowing nozzle 15 to detect whether there is a product in the unloading chute 16. When there is no product in the unloading chute 16, it is further determined that the material pipe 55 has an unsolvable material jam or the material pipe 55 has been emptied.

[0037] See Figure 1 The retrieving claw cylinder 34 is slidably connected to the lifting and retrieving linear module 32. An elastic member 33 is provided between the retrieving claw cylinder 34 and the lifting and retrieving linear module 32. The elastic member 33 exerts a downward elastic force on the retrieving claw cylinder 34. This can act as a buffer when retrieving materials and compensate for the working error between the docking equipment.

[0038] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 To further enhance the automation of material feeding and facilitate connection with the conveyor line, this embodiment further includes a transfer assembly 4 and a carrier assembly 2 disposed on the machine 1.

The product gripper 20 is disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the positioning cavity 44. To control accuracy, the transfer translation mechanism 40 and the carrier translation mechanism can be driven by a screw.

[0039] During operation, the material tubes 55 filled with products are stacked and placed in the magazine 8, the rotating cylinder 18 and the pin pulling cylinder 50 work at the same time and rotate the pin pulling claw cylinder 56 to the pin pulling position, and finally clamp the stop pin at the outlet of the material tube 55, the pin pulling cylinder 50 pulls the pin pulling claw cylinder 56 to pull the stop pin out of the material tube 55, the rotating cylinder 18 works to rotate the pin pulling cylinder 50 together with the pulled out stop pin to the opening of the pin receiving box 19, and the stop pin falls into the pin receiving box 19.

[0040] The main purge nozzle 51 is pushed by the purge cylinder 52 to stop the non-discharge end of the material pipe 55, and the main purge nozzle 51 blows gas into the material pipe 55. The product in the material pipe 55 slides along the discharge chute 16 to the discharge positioning groove 14 under the action of gravity and the main purge nozzle 51; the horizontal material picking linear module 31 and the lifting material picking linear module 32 drive the material picking claw cylinder 34 to take out the product in the discharge positioning groove 14 and transfer it to the positioning cavity 44 of the transfer component 4; the transfer lifting mechanism 42 of the transfer component 4 lifts the product to the same height as the product claw 20, and the transfer docking translation mechanism 41 drives the product to stop the product claw 20, and the product claw 20 clamps the product and carries it to the downstream equipment. Here, the product claw 20 can be an elastic claw, and the product relies on the transfer docking translation mechanism 41 to drive the product to be squeezed and clamped.
