[0021] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Reference Figure 1-2 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, and provides a tubular product orientation mechanism, including a support frame 14, the inner side surface of the support frame 14 is clamped and connected with a base plate 15, the upper surface of the base plate 15 is slidably connected with a long tube 1, the outer surface of the long tube 1 is movably clamped with a collecting tray 2, and the end face of the long tube 1 is movably inserted with a positioning clamp 3, the side of the positioning clamp 3 is fixedly connected with a pen-shaped cylinder 4, the side of the pen-shaped cylinder 4 is fixedly sleeved with a sheet metal seat 5, the side of the sheet metal seat 5 is adapted to be installed with the support frame 14, the support frame 14 is provided with a through slot, the side of the through slot is fixedly connected with a photoelectric switch 6, and the signal output end of the photoelectric switch 6 is electrically connected to the pen-shaped cylinder 4.

[0026] Specifically, the clamping connection between the support frame 14 and the base plate 15 allows other parts to be placed stably, thereby helping the long tube 1 to be more accurately aligned in direction. The movable clamping connection between the long tube 1 and the collecting tray 2 allows the long tube 1 to be stably unloaded and replenished at a certain speed, which facilitates the rapid orientation of the long tube 1. The movable connection between the positioning clamp 3 and the long tube 1 allows the end face of the long tube 1 to be corrected in position, and the axial direction can be kept stable and consistent. The cooperation between the pen-shaped cylinder 4, the positioning clamp 3 and the sheet metal seat 5 allows the positioning clamp 3 to remain stable during alignment, and the long tube 1 will not shake or tilt when it is aligned. The electrical connection between the photoelectric switch 6 and the pen-shaped cylinder 4 allows the photoelectric switch 6 to control the operation of the pen-shaped cylinder 4 after detecting the signal that the long tube 1 has arrived at the position, which embodies high practicality.

[0027] Furthermore, the support frame 14 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 12 through the side vertical plate. The limiting plate 12 is equipped with a partition plate 13 , and the upper surface of the partition plate 13 is matched with the base plate 15 .

[0028] Preferably, the coordination of the limiting plate 12 and the separating plate 13 enables the long tube 1 to be stably placed at a predetermined position after the orientation is completed, so as to facilitate subsequent grabbing by other mechanisms.

[0029] It should be noted that the bottom of the base plate 15 is plugged into and connected to the shift plate 7, the side of the shift plate 7 is fixedly connected to the driving cylinder 8, the side of the driving cylinder 8 is cooperated with the top cylinder 9, and the side of the top cylinder 9 is adapted to be installed with a mounting plate 10, and the side of the mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the support frame 14.

[0030] Afterwards, the fixed connection between the driving cylinder 8 and the shift plate 7 enables the long tube 1 to achieve single feeding, and the adaptive installation of the top cylinder 9 and the mounting plate 10 can further improve the operation stability of the top cylinder 9.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Reference Figure 2-3 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides relevant parts for realizing the collection and induction effect after the direction is completed.

[0033] Specifically, one side of the support frame 14 is movably connected to the limiting material plate 12 , and the side of the limiting material plate 12 is fixedly connected to the adjusting cylinder 11 , which is fixedly connected to the support frame 14 through a fixing seat.

[0034] Furthermore, the fixed connection between the limiting plate 12 and the regulating cylinder 11 allows the long tube 1 to be pulled back into the long tube 1 by the regulating cylinder 11 and the limiting plate 12 after the direction is detected by the photoelectric switch 6, further allowing the long tube 1 to be gathered inside the collecting tray 2, facilitating sorting and organization.

[0035] Preferably, the top output end of the jacking cylinder 9 is plugged and connected with a partition plate 13 , and the upper surface of the partition plate 13 is in close contact with the base plate 15 .

[0036] The plug-in connection between the separating plate 13 and the top cylinder 9 significantly improves the efficiency of the separated feeding and can reduce the waiting time of the long tube 1 for feeding.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] Reference Figure 2-4 , which is the third embodiment of the present utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides relevant parts for achieving continuous direction-defining effect.

[0039] Specifically, the action timings of the jacking cylinder 9 and the driving cylinder 8 are staggered, and the cross-sectional shape of the shift plate 7 is consistent with the shape of the base plate 15 .

[0040] Furthermore, the shape of the stop plate 7 is consistent with that of the base plate 15, so that the long tube 1 remains relatively still when it falls and tilts.

[0041] Preferably, the outer surface of the long tube 1 is fixedly sleeved with a convex ring, and a plurality of convex rings are arranged at equal distances on the long tube 1.

[0042] Among them, the convex rings are arranged equidistantly on the surface of the long tube 1, so that the speed of the long tube 1 can be kept uniform when falling, and it will not roll to the outside, while indirectly ensuring the direction identification efficiency.

[0043] Working principle: First, place the long tube 1 on the upper surface of the base plate 15 so that the long tube 1 can roll and unload the material. Then the long tube 1 moves to the bottom and is blocked by the blocking plate 7. At the same time, the driving cylinder 8 is started to allow the long tube 1 to unload the material stably at equal intervals. Then, the photoelectric switch 6 detects that the convex ring on the outer surface of the long tube 1 moves to the lowest point, and controls the pen-shaped cylinder 4 to run. The pen-shaped cylinder 4 drives the positioning clamp 3 to complete the alignment and connection with the long tube 1, so that the side direction of the long tube 1 remains stable. When the pen-shaped cylinder 4 retracts and the convex ring on the outer surface of the long tube 1 cannot be detected, the photoelectric switch 6 controls the adjustment cylinder 11 to push horizontally, further allowing the long tube 1 to move to the side of the collecting tray 2, so as to facilitate the subsequent mechanism in the process to grab.
