[0002] At present, for the semi-circular tube insertion process in evaporators and condensers, in order to meet the needs of automated production, automated equipment is generally used to install and insert the semi-circular tubes. However, during the feeding and cutting process of the semi-circular tubes, the semi-circular tubes are prone to dislocation or tilting, and workers need to manually straighten them, resulting in low overall efficiency of semi-circular tube installation. Utility Model Content

[0003] The embodiments of the present utility model are intended to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides a feeding device.

[0005] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides an intubation device.

[0006] A third aspect of the embodiments of the present invention provides an air conditioner.

[0007] In view of this, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present utility model, a feeding device is provided, which includes: a feeding member, the feeding member is provided with a feeding channel; a material guiding assembly, the material guiding assembly is provided with a material guiding channel; a base, the base includes a slide, the slide is provided with a cutting groove, and the slide can move between a first position and a second position; a supporting assembly, the supporting assembly includes a supporting member, and the supporting member can move relative to the slide so that the supporting end of the supporting member is inserted into or moved out of the cutting groove; wherein, based on the slide being in the first position, the cutting groove is connected with the feeding channel, and the supporting end is located in the cutting groove; based on the slide being in the second position, the cutting groove is connected with the material guiding channel, and the supporting end is moved out of the cutting groove.

[0008] The feeding device provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a feeding piece, a material guide assembly, a base and a support assembly. Specifically, the slide can move between a first position and a second position, and the slide is provided with a cutting groove.

[0009] Specifically, when the slide is in the first position, the cutting trough is connected to the feeding channel, and the material in the feeding channel can be moved into the cutting trough. Then, the slide is moved from the first position to the second position. Since when the slide is in the second position, the cutting trough is connected to the material guide channel, at this time, the material in the cutting trough can be sent to the material guide channel, completing the process of automatic material feeding and cutting, facilitating material transportation, and meeting the production needs of automated intubation.

[0010] The support assembly includes a support member, the support end of which can extend into or move out of the cutting trough. Specifically, when the slide is in the first position, the material can be moved into the cutting trough through the feeding channel, and the support end extends into the cutting trough to support the material entering the cutting trough, thereby preventing the material from being displaced or tilted when entering the cutting trough from the feeding channel.

[0011] In addition, during the movement of the slide from the first position to the second position, the support end located in the cutting trough can also prevent the material from being displaced or tilted in the cutting trough, thereby preventing the material from being stuck or damaged due to dislocation or tilting during the feeding and cutting process, which is beneficial to improving the overall operating efficiency of the automated intubation.

[0012] It is understandable that when the slide is in the second position, since the cutting trough and the material guide channel are connected, in order to facilitate logistics transportation, at this time, the support end moves out of the cutting trough to meet the production needs of automated intubation.

[0013] Optionally, the feeding device further includes a straight vibrator, which can transport the tube to be inserted in the feeding channel into the cutting trough.

[0014] In addition, the feeding device provided by the above technical solution of the utility model also has the following additional technical features:

[0015] In some technical solutions, optionally, the slide is further provided with a notch, which is connected to the cutting trough; wherein, based on the slide being located in the second position, the slide is in contact with the material guide assembly, and the cutting trough is connected to the material guide channel through the notch.

[0016] In this technical solution, it is stipulated that the slide is also provided with a notch. Specifically, the notch is connected to the cutting trough. When the slide is in the second position, the cutting trough is connected to the material guide channel through the notch. The support end moves out of the cutting trough, and the material enters the material guide channel through the notch, which facilitates material transportation.

[0017] Specifically, when the slide is in the first position, material is moved from the feed channel into the cutting trough, and the support end extends into the cutting trough to support the material entering the trough. Furthermore, as the slide moves from the first position to the second position, the support end located within the cutting trough prevents the material from becoming misplaced or tilted within the trough, thereby preventing material jamming or damage caused by misplacement or tilting during the feeding and cutting process, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the automated intubation system.

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, the feeding device also includes a guide member, which is arranged in the feeding channel, and the guide member includes a guide surface; wherein, based on the slide being in the first position, along the height direction of the base, the end face of the support end is flush with the guide surface.

[0019] In this technical solution, it is defined that the feeding device also includes a guide member. Specifically, the guide member is arranged in the feeding channel, and the guide member includes a guide surface. It can be understood that the material moves on the guide surface to move from the feeding channel into the cutting trough, which is conducive to ensuring the orderly transportation of materials.

[0020] When the slide is in the first position, the support end extends into the cutting trough, and the end surface of the support end is flush with the guide surface. Therefore, when the material enters the cutting trough from the feeding channel, the end surface of the support end is prevented from being unable to effectively support the material entering the cutting trough due to the end surface of the support end being lower than the guide surface, further preventing the material from being misplaced or tilted. It can also prevent the material from being stuck in the cutting trough due to the end surface of the support end being higher than the guide surface, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of material transportation and the reliability of the intubation equipment.

[0021] Optionally, when the slide is located at the first position, there is a gap between the support end and the guide member, or when the slide is located at the first position, the support end is in contact with the guide member.

[0022] In some technical solutions, optionally, based on the slide being located at the first position, the support end is in contact with the guide member.

[0023] In this technical solution, when the slide is in the first position, the support end contacts the guide member, so that the material can be supported when it enters the cutting trough from the feeding channel, avoiding the material from being dislocated or tilted. At the same time, the support end and the guide member are docked to ensure that the material enters the cutting trough smoothly from the feeding channel, meeting the production requirements of automated intubation.

[0024] In some technical solutions, optionally, the support assembly also includes a connecting plate and a first driving member, wherein the first driving member is arranged on the connecting plate and connected to the support member, and the first driving member can drive the support member to move so that the support end is inserted into or removed from the cutting groove.

[0025] In this technical solution, it is defined that the support assembly further includes a connecting plate and a first driving member. Specifically, the first driving member is arranged on the connecting plate, and the first driving member is connected to the support member.

[0026] In detail, when the slide is in the first position, the cutting trough is connected to the feeding channel, and the first driving member drives the support member to move so that the support end is inserted into the cutting trough, the material moves into the cutting trough, and the support end supports the material in the cutting trough.

[0027] When the slide is in the second position, the cutting trough is connected to the material guide channel, and the first driving member drives the support member to move so that the support end moves out of the cutting trough. At this time, the material in the cutting trough can be sent to the material guide channel, completing the process of automatic material feeding and cutting, facilitating material transportation, and meeting the production needs of automated intubation.

[0028] The support member is driven to move by the first driving member so that the support end extends into or moves out of the cutting groove, which facilitates the control of the movement of the support member, meets the production requirements of automated intubation, and improves operating efficiency.

[0029] Optionally, the first driving member comprises a cylinder.

[0030] In some technical solutions, optionally, the support member includes a push plate and a support column, wherein the push plate is connected to the first driving member, the support column is connected to the push plate, and the end of the support column away from the push plate is the support end.

[0031] This technical solution defines the support member as comprising a push plate and a support column. Specifically, the push plate is connected to the first drive member, one end of the support column is connected to the push plate, and the other end of the support column serves as a support end. Specifically, when the slide is in the first position, the cutting trough is connected to the feed channel. The first drive member drives the support column via the push plate, so that the support end is inserted into the cutting trough, and the material moves into the cutting trough, where the support end supports the material.

[0032] When the slide is in the second position, the cutting trough is connected to the material guide channel, and the first driving member drives the support column to move through the push plate to move the support end out of the cutting trough. At this time, the material in the cutting trough can be sent to the material guide channel to complete the process of automatic material feeding and cutting, facilitate material transportation, and meet the production needs of automated intubation.

[0033] In some technical solutions, optionally, the feeding device also includes a second driving member, which is arranged on the base and connected to the slide. The second driving member can drive the slide to move between the first position and the second position, and the support assembly is connected to the second driving member or the slide.

[0034] In this technical solution, it is defined that the feeding device also includes a second driving member. Specifically, the second driving member is arranged on the base and is connected to the slide. Since the support assembly is connected to the second driving member or the slide, that is, when the second driving member drives the slide to move between the first position and the second position, it can simultaneously drive the support assembly to move, so that the support end of the support member can be moved out of the cutting groove when the slide moves to the second position, and then the support end can support the material during the movement of the slide from the first position to the second position, preventing the material from being displaced or tilted in the cutting groove, thereby meeting the production requirements of automated intubation.

[0035] Optionally, the second driving member comprises a cylinder.

[0036] In some technical solutions, optionally, the feeding device further includes a first detection member, which is disposed on the slide and opposite to the cutting trough.

[0037] In this technical solution, it is defined that the feeding device also includes a first detection member. Specifically, the first detection member is arranged on the slide, and the first detection member is opposite to the cutting trough, and is used to detect whether there is material in the cutting trough. That is to say, the first detection member is used to detect whether there is material in the cutting trough. When there is material in the cutting trough, the slide moves from the first position to the second position to dock and connect the cutting trough with the material guide channel, which facilitates material transportation and meets the needs of automated production.

[0038] Optionally, the first detection member includes a photoelectric sensor.

[0039] In some technical solutions, optionally, the feeding device further includes a storage bin, which is connected to the feeding channel.

[0040] In this technical solution, it is defined that the feeding device also includes a storage bin. Specifically, the storage bin is communicated with the feeding channel. It can be understood that the storage bin is used to store materials.

[0041] Optionally, the storage bin includes a bin body and a vibration plate, and the bin body is used to store materials. Specifically, when the storage pot on the vibration plate is out of material, the switch door of the bin body opens, allowing the material in the bin body to enter the storage pot, and the vibration plate vibrates to arrange the material and enter the feeding channel.

[0042] In some technical solutions, optionally, the material guiding component includes a material guiding member and a second detecting member, wherein the material guiding member is provided with a material guiding channel and a detecting port, the detecting port is connected to the material guiding channel, and the second detecting member is provided at the detecting port.

[0043] In this technical solution, it is defined that the material guiding component includes a material guiding member and a second detecting member. Specifically, the material guiding member is further provided with a detecting port, which is communicated with the material guiding channel.

[0044] It is understandable that when manual labor is used to install and insert the semi-circular tubes of air conditioners in the relevant technology, manual labor is generally unable to distinguish the incoming status of the semi-circular tubes. For example, if the mouth of the semi-circular tube is damaged, the problematic semi-circular tube cannot be effectively identified, resulting in problems in the rear welding when the semi-circular tube is inserted into the condenser or evaporator, affecting product quality.

[0045] The second detection part is arranged at the detection port. Since the detection port is connected to the material guide channel, that is to say, the second detection part can detect the incoming material status of the material in the material guide channel, so that the problematic materials can be screened out according to the detection results of the second detection part, avoiding the insertion of the to-be-inserted tube with problems such as broken tube mouth into the to-be-inserted plug, thereby reducing the quality problems of the to-be-inserted product, improving the quality control effect, and ensuring the automated production needs.

[0046] Optionally, the second detection component includes a camera and a lens. Specifically, the camera takes a picture of the tube to be inserted through the detection port to detect whether the tube opening to be inserted is damaged. If damaged, the system marks it, and the back-end actuator grabs and discards the material, that is, the problematic tube to be inserted is screened.

[0047] Optionally, the detection port is configured to be arranged at the top of the material guide member, and / or the detection port is configured to be arranged at the bottom of the material guide member. Specific arrangements can be made according to actual needs.

[0048] In some technical solutions, optionally, the feeding device is used for an air conditioner, the air conditioner includes a pipe to be inserted, the pipe to be inserted includes a pipe body and at least two connecting rings, the pipe body includes at least two pipe legs, the at least two connecting rings are respectively mounted on the at least two pipe legs, the material guide piece is also provided with a material guide port, the material guide port is connected to the material guide channel, at least two pipe legs are respectively extended into the material guide channel through the material guide port, the material guide assembly also includes a limiting surface, the limiting surface is provided on the material guide piece, and is located at the material guide port. Based on the at least two connecting rings being in contact with the limiting surface respectively, there is a distance between the at least two pipe legs and the bottom wall of the material guide channel.

[0049] In this technical solution, it is defined that the material guide component also includes a limiting surface. Specifically, the air conditioner includes a plug-in component and a pipe to be inserted. Optionally, the plug-in component includes at least one of a condenser and an evaporator, and the pipe to be inserted includes at least one of a U-shaped tube and a Y-shaped tube.

[0050] The tube to be inserted comprises a tube body and at least two connecting rings, and optionally, the connecting rings comprise welding rings. The at least two connecting rings are respectively sleeved on at least two tube legs of the tube body.

[0051] It is understandable that in the related art, when performing the insertion operation of the condenser or evaporator, the semi-circular tube is generally installed manually. However, manual insertion cannot effectively identify whether the tube leg of the tube body is missing a welding ring.

[0052] The material guide member is further provided with a material guide opening, which communicates with the material guide channel. At least two tube legs of the tube body extend into the material guide channel through the material guide opening. A limiting surface is located at the material guide opening, and a connecting ring located on the tube leg contacts the limiting surface, thereby creating a gap between the tube leg and the bottom wall of the material guide channel. In other words, the contact between the connecting ring and the limiting surface allows the tube to be inserted to remain suspended in the material guide channel, thereby indirectly detecting whether the connecting ring is missing from the tube to be inserted. This solves the problem of manual insertion being unable to effectively identify the incoming material status, improves quality control, and helps ensure automated production requirements.

[0053] Specifically, for a U-shaped tube, two connecting rings are mounted on the tube. Within the material guide channel, these two connecting rings contact the limiting surface, allowing the U-shaped tube to remain suspended within the channel. It is understood that if a U-shaped tube is missing a connecting ring, the tube leg on the side where the connecting ring is missing will drop, thus indirectly determining whether the U-shaped tube is missing a connecting ring. The same principle applies to Y-shaped tubes.

[0054] Optionally, when both tube legs of the U-tube or Y-tube are missing connecting rings, the U-tube or Y-tube can be discharged directly through the waste port on the base to achieve waste screening, thereby avoiding the problem of inserting the tube to be inserted without a connecting ring into the plug-in, which in turn affects the subsequent welding, improves quality control effects, and is conducive to ensuring automated production needs.

[0055] According to the second aspect of the present invention, an intubation device is provided, comprising a feeding device as provided by any of the above technical solutions, thereby having all the beneficial technical effects of the feeding device, which will not be repeated here.

[0056] According to the third aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, comprising: a plug-in unit to be inserted, the plug-in unit to be inserted is provided with a socket to be inserted; a pipe to be inserted, the pipe to be inserted is configured to be inserted into the socket to be inserted using an insertion device provided by any of the above technical solutions, thereby having all the beneficial technical effects of the insertion device, which will not be repeated here.

[0057] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in the following description, and some will become obvious from the following description, or will be understood through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0084] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0085] 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. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0086] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 23 The feeding device 100, the intubation device 200 and the air conditioner provided according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0087] In one embodiment according to the present application, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a feeding device 100 is proposed, which includes: a feeding member 110, the feeding member 110 is provided with a feeding channel 111; a material guide assembly 120, the material guide assembly 120 is provided with a material guide channel 121; a base 130, the base 130 includes a slide 131, the slide 131 is provided with a cutting groove 132, and the slide 131 can move between a first position and a second position; a support assembly 140, the support assembly 140 includes a support member 141, the support member 141 can move relative to the slide 131 so that the support end 142 of the support member 141 is inserted into or moved out of the cutting groove 132; wherein, based on the slide 131 being in the first position, the cutting groove 132 is connected to the feeding channel 111, and the support end 142 is located in the cutting groove 132; based on the slide 131 being in the second position, the cutting groove 132 is connected to the material guide channel 121, and the support end 142 is moved out of the cutting groove 132.

[0088] The feeding device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a feeding member 110 , a material guiding assembly 120 , a base 130 and a supporting assembly 140 . Specifically, the slide 131 can move between a first position and a second position, and the slide 131 is provided with a cutting groove 132 .

[0089] Specifically, when the slide 131 is in the first position, the cutting trough 132 is connected to the feeding channel 111, and the material in the feeding channel 111 can be moved into the cutting trough 132. Then, the slide 131 is moved from the first position to the second position. Since when the slide 131 is in the second position, the cutting trough 132 is connected to the guide channel 121, at this time, the material in the cutting trough 132 can be sent to the guide channel 121, completing the process of automatic material feeding and cutting, facilitating material transportation, and meeting the production needs of automated intubation.

[0090] The support assembly 140 includes a support member 141, and the support end 142 of the support member 141 can extend into or move out of the cutting groove 132. Specifically, when the slide 131 is in the first position, the material can be moved into the cutting groove 132 through the feeding channel 111, and the support end 142 extends into the cutting groove 132 to support the material entering the cutting groove 132, thereby preventing the material from being displaced or tilted when entering the cutting groove 132 from the feeding channel 111.

[0091] In addition, during the movement of the slide 131 from the first position to the second position, the support end 142 located in the cutting trough 132 can also prevent the material from being displaced or tilted in the cutting trough 132, thereby preventing the material from being stuck or damaged due to dislocation or tilting during the feeding and cutting process, which is beneficial to improving the overall operating efficiency of the automated intubation.

[0092] It is understandable that when the slide 131 is in the second position, since the cutting groove 132 and the material guide channel 121 are connected, in order to facilitate logistics transportation, at this time, the support end 142 moves out of the cutting groove 132 to meet the production requirements of automated intubation.

[0093] Optionally, the feeding device 100 further includes a straight vibrator, which can transport the tube to be inserted 400 located in the feeding channel 111 into the cutting trough 132 .

[0094] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the slide 131 is further provided with a notch 133, which is connected to the cutting groove 132; wherein, based on the slide 131 being located in the second position, the slide 131 is in contact with the material guide assembly 120, and the cutting groove 132 is connected to the material guide channel 121 through the notch 133.

[0095] In this embodiment, it is defined that the slide 131 is also provided with a notch 133. Specifically, the notch 133 is connected to the cutting groove 132. When the slide 131 is located at the second position, the cutting groove 132 is connected to the material guide channel 121 through the notch 133. The support end 142 moves out of the cutting groove 132, and the material enters the material guide channel 121 through the notch 133, which facilitates material transportation.

[0096] Specifically, when the slide 131 is in the first position, the material is moved from the feeding channel 111 into the cutting trough 132, and the support end 142 extends into the cutting trough 132 to support the material entering the cutting trough 132. Furthermore, during the movement of the slide 131 from the first position to the second position, the support end 142 located in the cutting trough 132 can prevent the material from being misplaced or tilted in the cutting trough 132, thereby preventing the material from being stuck or damaged due to misplacement or tilting during the feeding and cutting process, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the automated intubation operation.

[0097] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the feeding device 100 also includes a guide member 150, which is arranged in the feeding channel 111, and the guide member 150 includes a guide surface 151; wherein, based on the slide 131 being in the first position, along the height direction of the base 130, the end face of the support end 142 is flush with the guide surface 151.

[0098] In this embodiment, it is defined that the feeding device 100 also includes a guide member 150. Specifically, the guide member 150 is arranged in the feeding channel 111, and the guide member 150 includes a guide surface 151. It can be understood that the material moves on the guide surface 151 to move from the feeding channel 111 into the cutting groove 132, which is conducive to ensuring the orderly transportation of materials.

[0099] When the slide 131 is in the first position, the support end 142 extends into the cutting trough 132, and the end surface of the support end 142 is flush with the guide surface 151. Therefore, when the material enters the cutting trough 132 from the feeding channel 111, the end surface of the support end 142 is prevented from being lower than the guide surface 151 and thus failing to effectively support the material entering the cutting trough 132, thereby further preventing the material from being misplaced or tilted. It can also prevent the material from being stuck when entering the cutting trough 132 due to the end surface of the support end 142 being higher than the guide surface 151, thereby improving the efficiency of material transportation and enhancing the reliability of the intubation device 200.

[0100] Optionally, when the slide 131 is located at the first position, there is a gap between the support end 142 and the guide member 150 , or when the slide 131 is located at the first position, the support end 142 is in contact with the guide member 150 .

[0101] In some embodiments, optionally, based on the slide 131 being located at the first position, the support end 142 is in contact with the guide member 150 .

[0102] In this embodiment, when the slide 131 is in the first position, the support end 142 is in contact with the guide member 150, so that the material can be supported when the material enters the cutting trough 132 from the feeding channel 111, avoiding the material from being displaced or tilted, and the support end 142 is docked with the guide member 150 to ensure that the material smoothly enters the cutting trough 132 from the feeding channel 111, meeting the production requirements of automated intubation.

[0103] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the support assembly 140 also includes a connecting plate 143 and a first driving member 144, wherein the first driving member 144 is provided on the connecting plate 143 and connected to the support member 141, and the first driving member 144 can drive the support member 141 to move so that the support end 142 is inserted into or removed from the cutting groove 132.

[0104] In this embodiment, it is defined that the support assembly 140 further includes a connecting plate 143 and a first driving member 144 . Specifically, the first driving member 144 is disposed on the connecting plate 143 , and the first driving member 144 is connected to the support member 141 .

[0105] In detail, when the slide 131 is in the first position, the cutting trough 132 is connected to the feeding channel 111, and the first driving member 144 drives the support member 141 to move so that the support end 142 is inserted into the cutting trough 132, and the material moves into the cutting trough 132, and the support end 142 supports the material in the cutting trough 132.

[0106] When the slide 131 is in the second position, the cutting trough 132 is connected to the material guide channel 121, and the first driving member 144 drives the support member 141 to move so that the support end 142 moves out of the cutting trough 132. At this time, the material in the cutting trough 132 can be sent to the material guide channel 121, completing the process of automatic material feeding and cutting, facilitating material transportation, and meeting the production needs of automated intubation.

[0107] The first driving member 144 drives the support member 141 to move so that the support end 142 extends into or moves out of the cutting groove 132, which facilitates the control of the movement of the support member 141, meets the production requirements of automated intubation, and improves work efficiency.

[0108] Optionally, the first driving member 144 includes a cylinder.

[0109] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the support member 141 includes a push plate 145 and a support column 146, wherein the push plate 145 is connected to the first driving member 144, the support column 146 is connected to the push plate 145, and the end of the support column 146 facing away from the push plate 145 is the support end 142.

[0110] In this embodiment, the support member 141 is defined to include a push plate 145 and a support column 146. Specifically, the push plate 145 is connected to the first driving member 144, one end of the support column 146 is connected to the push plate 145, and the other end of the support column 146 serves as the support end 142. Specifically, when the slide 131 is in the first position, the cutting trough 132 is connected to the feeding channel 111, and the first driving member 144 drives the support column 146 to move via the push plate 145, so that the support end 142 is inserted into the cutting trough 132, and the material moves into the cutting trough 132, and the support end 142 supports the material in the cutting trough 132.

[0111] When the slide 131 is in the second position, the cutting groove 132 is connected to the material guide channel 121, and the first driving member 144 drives the support column 146 to move through the push plate 145 to move the support end 142 out of the cutting groove 132. At this time, the material in the cutting groove 132 can be sent to the material guide channel 121, completing the process of automatic material feeding and cutting, facilitating material transportation, and meeting the production needs of automated intubation.

[0112] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the feeding device 100 also includes a second driving member 160, which is disposed on the base 130 and connected to the slide 131. The second driving member 160 can drive the slide 131 to move between the first position and the second position, and the support assembly 140 is connected to the second driving member 160 or the slide 131.

[0113] In this embodiment, it is defined that the feeding device 100 further includes a second driving member 160. Specifically, the second driving member 160 is disposed on the base 130, and the second driving member 160 is connected to the slide 131. Since the support assembly 140 is connected to the second driving member 160 or the slide 131, that is, when the second driving member 160 drives the slide 131 to move between the first position and the second position, it can simultaneously drive the support assembly 140 to move, so that the support end 142 of the support member 141 can be moved out of the cutting groove 132 when the slide 131 moves to the second position, and then the support end 142 can support the material during the movement of the slide 131 from the first position to the second position, thereby preventing the material from being displaced or tilted in the cutting groove 132, thereby meeting the production requirements of automated intubation.

[0114] Optionally, the second driving member 160 includes a cylinder.

[0115] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the feeding device 100 further includes a first detection member 170 , which is disposed on the slide 131 and opposite to the cutting groove 132 .

[0116] In this embodiment, it is defined that the feeding device 100 also includes a first detection member 170. Specifically, the first detection member 170 is arranged on the slide 131, and the first detection member 170 is opposite to the cutting groove 132, and is used to detect whether there is material in the cutting groove 132. That is to say, the first detection member 170 is used to detect whether there is material in the cutting groove 132. When there is material in the cutting groove 132, the slide 131 moves from the first position to the second position to dock and connect the cutting groove 132 with the material guide channel 121, so as to facilitate material transportation and meet the needs of automated production.

[0117] Optionally, the first detecting member 170 includes a photoelectric sensor.

[0118] like Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the feeding device 100 further includes a storage bin 180 , and the storage bin 180 is connected to the feeding channel 111 .

[0119] In this embodiment, it is defined that the feeding device 100 further includes a storage bin 180 . Specifically, the storage bin 180 is in communication with the feeding channel 111 . It can be understood that the storage bin 180 is used to store materials.

[0120] Optionally, the storage bin 180 includes a bin body and a vibration plate. The bin body is used to store materials. Specifically, when the storage pot on the vibration plate is out of material, the switch door of the bin body opens, allowing the material in the bin body to enter the storage pot. The vibration plate vibrates to arrange the material and enters the feeding channel 111.

[0121] like Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the material guide assembly 120 includes a material guide member 122 and a second detection member 124, wherein the material guide member 122 is provided with a material guide channel 121 and a detection port 123, the detection port 123 is connected to the material guide channel 121, and the second detection member 124 is provided at the detection port 123.

[0122] In this embodiment, the material guiding assembly 120 is defined to include a material guiding member 122 and a second detecting member 124 . Specifically, the material guiding member 122 is further provided with a detecting port 123 , and the detecting port 123 is communicated with the material guiding channel 121 .

[0123] It is understandable that when manual labor is used to install and insert the semi-circular tubes of air conditioners in the relevant technology, manual labor is generally unable to distinguish the incoming status of the semi-circular tubes. For example, if the mouth of the semi-circular tube is damaged, the problematic semi-circular tube cannot be effectively identified, resulting in problems in the rear welding when the semi-circular tube is inserted into the condenser or evaporator, affecting product quality.

[0124] The second detection member 124 is arranged at the detection port 123. Since the detection port 123 is connected to the material guide channel 121, that is to say, the second detection member 124 can detect the incoming material status of the material in the material guide channel 121, so that the problematic materials can be screened out according to the detection result of the second detection member 124, thereby avoiding the insertion of the to-be-inserted tube 400 with problems such as broken tube mouth into the to-be-inserted plug 500, thereby reducing the product quality problems of the to-be-inserted plug 500, improving the quality control effect, and ensuring the automated production needs.

[0125] Optionally, the second detection member 124 includes a camera and a lens. Specifically, the camera takes a picture of the tube 400 to be inserted through the detection port 123 to detect whether the tube opening of the tube 400 to be inserted is damaged. If damaged, the system marks it, and the back-end actuator grasps and discards the material, that is, the problematic tube 400 to be inserted is screened.

[0126] Optionally, the detection port 123 is configured to be disposed at the top of the material guide 122, and / or the detection port 123 is configured to be disposed at the bottom of the material guide 122. The specific configuration can be made according to actual needs.

[0127] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the feeding device 100 is used for an air conditioner, the air conditioner includes a tube to be inserted 400, the tube to be inserted 400 includes a tube body 410 and at least two connecting rings 420, the tube body 410 includes at least two tube legs 411, at least two connecting rings 420 are respectively sleeved on the at least two tube legs 411, the guide member 122 is also provided with a guide port 126, the guide port 126 is connected to the guide channel 121, at least two tube legs 411 respectively extend into the guide channel 121 through the guide port 126, the guide assembly 120 also includes a limiting surface 125, the limiting surface 125 is provided on the guide member 122, and is located at the guide port 126, based on the at least two connecting rings 420 respectively contacting the limiting surface 125, there is a distance between the at least two tube legs 411 and the bottom wall of the guide channel 121.

[0128] In this embodiment, it is defined that the material guide component 120 also includes a limiting surface 125. Specifically, the air conditioner includes a plug-in unit 500 and a pipe 400 to be inserted. Optionally, the plug-in unit 500 includes at least one of a condenser and an evaporator, and the pipe 400 to be inserted includes at least one of a U-shaped tube and a Y-shaped tube.

[0129] The tube to be inserted 400 comprises a tube body 410 and at least two connecting rings 420 , wherein the connecting rings 420 are optionally welded rings. The at least two connecting rings 420 are respectively sleeved on at least two tube legs 411 of the tube body 410 .

[0130] It is understandable that in the related art, when performing the insertion operation of the condenser or evaporator, the semicircular tube is generally installed manually. However, manual insertion cannot effectively identify whether the tube leg 411 of the tube body 410 is missing a welding ring.

[0131] The material guide member 122 is further provided with a material guide opening 126, which communicates with the material guide channel 121. At least two tube legs 411 of the tube body 410 extend into the material guide channel 121 through the material guide opening 126. A limiting surface 125 is located at the material guide opening 126. The connecting ring 420 located on the tube leg 411 contacts the limiting surface 125, thereby creating a gap between the tube leg 411 and the bottom wall of the material guide channel 121. In other words, the contact between the connecting ring 420 and the limiting surface 125 allows the tube 400 to be inserted to remain suspended within the material guide channel 121, thereby indirectly detecting whether the connecting ring 420 is missing from the tube 400. This solves the problem of manual insertion being unable to effectively identify the incoming material status, improves quality control, and helps ensure automated production requirements.

[0132] Specifically, for a U-shaped tube, two connecting rings 420 are sleeved on the tube. Within the material guide channel 121, the two connecting rings 420 contact the limiting surface 125, allowing the U-shaped tube to remain suspended within the material guide channel 121. It is understood that if a U-shaped tube is missing a connecting ring 420, the tube leg 411 on the side of the U-shaped tube where the connecting ring 420 is missing will drop, thereby indirectly determining whether the U-shaped tube is missing a connecting ring 420. The same principle applies to Y-shaped tubes.

[0133] Optionally, when both tube legs 411 of the U-tube or Y-tube lack the connecting ring 420, the U-tube or Y-tube can be discharged directly through the waste port on the base 130 to achieve waste screening, thereby avoiding the problem of inserting the tube 400 to be inserted without the connecting ring 420 into the plug 500 to be inserted, thereby affecting the subsequent welding, improving the quality control effect, and ensuring the needs of automated production.

[0134] Alternatively, as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the material guide member 122 is also provided with a working position 127, which is connected to the material guide channel 121. The material guide assembly 120 also includes a material tapping member 210, a third driving member 220 and a fourth driving member 230, wherein the material tapping member 210 includes a material tapping rod 211, the third driving member 220 is connected to the material tapping member 210, and the third driving member 220 can drive the material tapping member 210 to move so that the material tapping rod 211 is inserted between any two adjacent tube legs 411, or when there are multiple tubes 400 to be inserted, between any two adjacent tubes 400 to be inserted, and the fourth driving member 230 is connected to the material tapping member 210, and the fourth driving member 230 can drive the material tapping member 210 to move so that the tubes 400 to be inserted are moved in the material guide channel 121 and moved to the working position 127.

[0135] Optionally, the intubation device 200 further includes a material taking device 240 , which is used to transport the tube to be intubated 400 moved to the working position 127 to the receiving tray 260 .

[0136] Alternatively, as Figure 13 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 21 、 Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, the material picking device 240 includes: a frame 241; a moving member 242, which is provided on the frame 241 and can move relative to the frame 241; a connecting member 248, which is connected to the moving member 242, and the connecting member 248 is provided with a first sliding portion 244; a first sliding member 245, which is connected to the first sliding portion 244, and the first sliding member 245 can slide along a first direction relative to the first sliding portion 244; a second sliding member 246, which is connected to the first sliding member 245; a grabbing member 243, and the grabbing member 243 is provided with a second sliding portion 247, which is connected to the second sliding member 246, and the second sliding portion 247 can slide along a second direction relative to the second sliding member 246; wherein the second direction is different from the first direction. That is, in the process of the grasping member 243 picking up the tube to be inserted 400, the grasping member 243 can slide along the first direction or the second direction, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the grasping member 243. Even if the incoming consistency of the tube to be inserted 400 is poor, the grasping member 243 can smoothly pick up the tube to be inserted 400, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of the automated intubation operation.

[0137] In addition, after the grabbing member 243 picks up the tube to be inserted 400, when it moves to the position of the receiving tray 260 relative to the frame 241 through the moving member 242, the grabbing member 243 can adjust the position in the first direction and / or the second direction, and smoothly place the picked-up tube to be inserted 400 on the material bin of the receiving tray 260, which is conducive to improving installation efficiency.

[0138] Alternatively, as Figure 12 、 Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the intubation device 200 also includes a transfer assembly 250, on which a receiving tray 260 is movably mounted. When the gripper 243 picks up the tube 400 to be intubated and moves to a designated position relative to the frame 241, the receiving tray 260 can be moved on the transfer assembly 250 to the designated position, facilitating the gripper 243 to insert the tube 400 into the receiving tray 260. Furthermore, after the tube 400 to be intubated is placed on the receiving tray 260, the receiving tray 260 can be moved on the transfer assembly 250 to the next commanded position, thereby facilitating the gripper assembly 291 of the robot 290 to smoothly pick up the tube 400 from the receiving tray 260 and insert the insert 500 into the tube, thus meeting the production requirements of automated intubation.

[0139] Optionally, a plurality of silos are provided on the receiving tray 260, and the plurality of silos are arranged at intervals, and each silo is used to accommodate a tube to be inserted 400, so that the clamp assembly 291 can clamp a plurality of tubes to be inserted 400 at one time, and insert the plurality of tubes to be inserted 400 into the inserter 500 at the same time, which is conducive to further improving the efficiency of the automated intubation operation.

[0140] Alternatively, as Figure 4 、 Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the intubation device 200 further includes a third detection member 270, which is opposite to the work station 127 and is used to detect whether there is a tube 400 to be inserted on the work station 127. Thus, the third detection member 270 can detect whether there is a tube 400 to be inserted on the work station 127, that is, the third detection member 270 is used to detect whether there is material on the work station 127. This facilitates the grasping member 243 to smoothly pick up the tube 400 to be inserted on the work station 127 and transport it to the receiving tray 260 when there is material on the work station 127, thereby improving the reliability of the automated intubation process.

[0141] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 15 As shown, the intubation device 200 also includes a positioning component 280. Specifically, after the tube to be inserted 400 in the material guide channel 121 moves to the working position 127, and before the grabbing member 243 picks up the tube to be inserted 400 on the working position 127, the positioning component 280 is used to position the tube to be inserted 400 on the working position 127, to ensure that the grabbing member 243 can smoothly pick up the tube to be inserted 400 on the working position 127, and transport the tube to be inserted 400 to the receiving tray 260, to ensure the smooth progress of the automated intubation operation and meet the requirements of automated production.

[0142] Alternatively, as Figure 15As shown, the positioning assembly 280 includes a machine base 281, an adjustment seat 282, a fifth driving member 283 and a sixth driving member 284, wherein the adjustment seat 282 is arranged on the machine base 281, and the adjustment seat 282 is provided with a first clamping block 285 and a second clamping block 286, and the first clamping block 285 and the second clamping block 286 are arranged at intervals. The fifth driving member 283 is connected to at least one of the first clamping block 285 and the second clamping block 286, and the fifth driving member 283 can drive the first clamping block 285 and / or the second clamping block 286 to move to change the distance between the first clamping block 285 and the second clamping block 286, and the sixth driving member 284 is connected to the adjustment seat 282, and the sixth driving member 284 can drive the adjustment seat 282 to move relative to the machine base 281 along the height direction of the machine base 281.

[0143] The tube to be inserted 400 is located between the first clamp 285 and the second clamp 286. By controlling the movement of the first clamp 285 and / or the second clamp 286, the tube to be inserted 400 can be centered, ensuring that the grabbing member 243 can smoothly pick up the tube to be inserted 400 on the work station 127 and transport the tube to be inserted 400 to the receiving tray 260.

[0144] The sixth driving member 284 is connected to the adjustment seat 282. Driven by the sixth driving member 284, the adjustment seat can drive the first clamping block 285 and the second clamping block 286 to move in the height direction, that is, to move up and down, so as to facilitate the intubation tube 400 to enter the working position 127.

[0145] Optionally, the first clamping block 285 is provided with a first clamping groove, and the second clamping block 286 is provided with a second clamping groove, and the notch of the first clamping groove is opposite to the notch of the second clamping groove. It can be understood that for the U-shaped tube, the tube leg 411 on one side of the U-shaped tube is located in the first clamping groove, and the tube leg 411 on the other side is located in the second clamping groove, thereby realizing the positioning of the cannula 400.

[0146] Optionally, the fifth driving member 283 includes a cylinder, and the sixth driving member 284 includes a cylinder.

[0147] According to the second aspect of the present invention, an intubation device 200 is provided, which includes a feeding device 100 provided by any of the above technical solutions, and thus has all the beneficial technical effects of the feeding device 100, which will not be repeated here.

[0148] Alternatively, as Figure 23As shown, the intubation device 200 also includes a robot 290. Specifically, when the tube to be inserted 400 is at the working position 127, the grasping member 243 transports the tube to be inserted 400 located on the working position 127 to the receiving tray 260. The clamp assembly 291 of the robot 290 clamps the tube to be inserted 400 on the receiving tray 260 and inserts the tube to be inserted 400 into the inserting element 500, thereby realizing the automated operation of inserting the tube to be inserted 400 into the inserting element 500, which is beneficial to significantly improve the efficiency of the installation of the tube to be inserted 400 and meet the production needs of automated operations.

[0149] Optionally, the intubation device 200 further includes a waste tray. When the tube opening of the tube 400 to be intubated is damaged, the tube 400 to be intubated with the damage can be picked up by the grabbing member 243 and transported to the waste tray.

[0150] Alternatively, as Figure 16 、 Figure 17 、 Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the clamp assembly 291 includes a mounting member 292, a clamping jaw 293, a driving portion 294, and a buffer assembly 295. The clamping jaw 293 is movably mounted on the mounting member 292, the driving portion 294 is disposed on the mounting member 292, one end of the buffer assembly 295 is connected to the clamping jaw 293, and the other end of the buffer assembly 295 is connected to the driving portion 294. Specifically, when the clamping jaw 293 clamps the tube 400 to be inserted on the receiving tray 260 for insertion, the driving portion 294 drives the clamping jaw 293 to move toward the side where the plug 500 is located through the buffer assembly 295, so as to insert the tube 400 to be inserted into the insertion port 510 of the plug 500. By arranging the buffer assembly 295 between the clamping jaw 293 and the driving portion 294, flexible insertion is achieved, ensuring that the tube 400 to be inserted is completely fitted with the insertion port 510, thereby improving product quality.

[0151] Alternatively, as Figure 17 As shown, the buffer assembly 295 includes a push-pull member 296 and an elastic member 297 . The two ends of the push-pull member 296 are respectively connected to the driving portion 294 and the clamping claw 293 , and the elastic member 297 is sleeved on the outside of the push-pull member 296 .

[0152] Optionally, there are multiple clamps 293, at least one clamp 293 is an electric clamp, and at least one clamp 293 is a pneumatic clamp. It is understandable that the electric clamp is used to clamp the U-shaped tube, and the pneumatic clamp is used to clamp the Y-shaped tube.

[0153] Optionally, when inserting a U-shaped tube, an angle deflection is required. Specifically, three angles are available: 0 degrees, 61.5 degrees, and 118.5 degrees, with a material deviation of approximately 0.2 degrees. For Y-shaped tubes, the angle is 0 degrees, with a material deviation of 0.2 degrees. For Y-shaped tubes, fixed pneumatic fingers (pneumatic jaws) are used to clamp the Y-shaped tube for insertion. For U-shaped tubes, rotatable electric fingers (electric jaws) are used to clamp the U-shaped tube for insertion. The electric jaws can precisely control the angle, allowing insertion of U-shaped tubes at 0 degrees, 61.5 degrees, and 118.5 degrees.

[0154] Optionally, the intubation device 200 also includes a positioning mechanism 310, which is used to position the plug-in unit 500, so that the visual system 298 on the clamp assembly 291 can obtain the precise position coordinates of the socket 510 to be inserted.
