[0002] The term "lamp tube" traditionally refers to a straight fluorescent lamp. Due to the uniqueness of the term, it now refers to a lamp with a long tube. LED lamp tubes are tubes that use LEDs as their light source. Compared to fluorescent tubes, they are more energy-efficient, inexpensive, long-lasting, shatter-resistant, and simpler in structure, making them a promising future replacement for fluorescent tubes. A copier fuser lamp tube is an electronic tube installed in the copier's fuser roller that generates light and produces temperatures around 200°C. It is slightly longer than the fuser roller, approximately 0.3 cm in diameter, with wires extending from both ends. Its service life is approximately 250,000 sheets. During the processing of copier lamp tubes, a connecting device is required for material handling.

[0003] The prior art discloses a lamp tube loader with application number 201720454892.1, which includes a frame, a guide wheel assembly mounted on the frame, and a conveyor chain wound around the guide wheel assembly.

The conveyor chain is provided with spaced-apart positioning strips, and the gap between adjacent positioning strips is greater than the outer diameter of one lamp tube and less than the sum of the outer diameters of two lamp tubes. The lamp tube loader of the present invention can reduce collisions between lamp tubes and lower the damage rate during the lamp tube loading process. However, the lamp tubes cannot be neatly arranged on the conveyor belt or loading platform at equal intervals, which affects the efficiency of loading and unloading the tubes. Utility Model Content
