Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of glass tube processing auxiliary equipment, in particular to a glass tube material dividing device. Background Art
[0002] Glass tubes are essential components in lighting manufacturers. After being cut from a single, long strip, they are conveyed by a conveyor belt to the next processing step. However, during the processing of the entire glass tube, defects such as cracks or deformations are inevitable. This necessitates removing the glass tubes from the assembly line after they have been cut into smaller pieces to prevent them from entering the conveyor belt and proceeding to the next process.
[0003] At present, a large number of existing technologies are to peel glass tubes on straight assembly lines, but straight assembly lines are difficult to make efficient use of the factory's floor space. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a device that can efficiently utilize the land area and can also separate and peel glass tubes during the right-angle transfer process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a glass tube separating device, which has realized the purpose of sorting and stripping the glass tubes during the process of converting the glass tubes from axial movement to radial movement.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical means:
[0006] A glass tube distributing device, comprising:
[0007] The swing material distribution mechanism is constructed with a material receiving plate and a driving mechanism. The bottom surface of the material receiving plate is hinged. The driving mechanism drives the material receiving plate to swing back and forth along the hinge portion, and the material enters the material receiving plate in a direction parallel to the hinge axis of the material receiving plate.
[0008] A waste collection box with an open top surface is provided on one side of the hinged portion of the receiving plate and is located below the receiving plate;
[0009] A connection and buffer mechanism is provided on a side of the material receiving plate opposite to the waste collection box, and is used for connecting and buffering the material from the material receiving plate to the conveyor belt;
[0010] The material detection sensor is used to detect material defects and is in communication with the driving mechanism.
[0011] Preferably, the swinging material distribution mechanism includes a first support rod, the material receiving plate is hinged to the top end of the first support rod, and the driving mechanism includes a first hydraulic telescopic rod and a second hydraulic telescopic rod respectively arranged on both sides of the first support rod, the telescopic ends of the first hydraulic telescopic rod and the second hydraulic telescopic rod are respectively hinged to the bottom surface of the material receiving plate, and the lower ends of the first hydraulic telescopic rod and the second hydraulic telescopic rod are respectively hinged to the first base and the second base.
[0012] Furthermore, the top surface of the material receiving plate is constructed with a plurality of first sponge strips, the first sponge strips are arranged parallel to the axis of the material, and two adjacent first sponge strips are arranged parallel and spaced apart.
[0013] Furthermore, the connection buffer mechanism includes a pair of inclined buffer tables, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the feeding end of the feeding belt and connected to the discharge end of the receiving plate. The buffer tables are used to abut the ends of the materials.
[0014] Furthermore, the buffer table is installed at the top of the second support rod, the distance between the two buffer tables is the same as the width of the material receiving plate, the width of the material receiving plate is smaller than the axial length of the material glass tube, and the distance between the two buffer tables is the same as the width of the feeding belt.
[0015] Furthermore, the top surface of the buffer table is constructed with a plurality of second sponge strips, the second sponge strips are arranged parallel to the axis of the material, and two adjacent second sponge strips are arranged parallel and spaced apart.
[0016] During use, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] The glass tube is first transported along its axis, passing through a material detection sensor along the Y-axis before being cut and placed on the receiving plate of the swinging material distributor. If the material detection sensor detects a defect in the cut glass tube, the drive mechanism is activated, tilting the receiving plate toward the waste collection bin. This allows defective material entering the receiving plate along the Y-axis to fall through the tilted receiving plate into the waste collection bin, preventing it from remaining on the production line. If the cut glass tube material passes the material sensor and is found to be free of defects, the drive mechanism is activated, tilting the receiving plate toward the connecting buffer mechanism. This allows the qualified glass tube material to flow along the tilted receiving plate into the connecting buffer mechanism, where it gently rolls onto the conveyor belt, where it is transported to the next process step and moves radially along the conveyor belt. This allows the glass tube distributor to be adapted for plants with shorter lengths by installing a corner-type glass tube distributor, allowing the distributor to be adapted for systems that require diverted glass tube transport.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a glass tube distributing device includes:
[0028] The swing material distribution mechanism is constructed with a material receiving plate 1 and a driving mechanism. The bottom surface of the material receiving plate 1 is hinged. The driving mechanism drives the material receiving plate 1 to swing back and forth along the hinge portion, and the material enters the material receiving plate 1 in a direction parallel to the hinge axis of the material receiving plate 1;
[0029] A waste collection box 2, with an open top, is provided on one side of the hinged portion of the receiving plate 1 and is located below the receiving plate 1;
[0030] A connecting and buffering mechanism 3 is provided on a side of the receiving plate 1 opposite to the waste collection box 2, and is used to connect and buffer the material from the receiving plate 1 to the conveyor belt;
[0031] The material detection sensor is used to detect material defects and is in communication with the driving mechanism.
[0032] In this way, the glass tube is first transported along its axis, passing through the material detection sensor along the Y axis, where it is cut and then enters the material receiving plate 1 of the swinging material distribution mechanism. If the material detection sensor detects that the cut glass tube is defective, the drive mechanism is activated, causing the material receiving plate 1 to tilt toward the waste collection box 2. This allows the defective material entering the material receiving plate 1 along the Y axis to fall into the waste collection box 2 through the tilted material receiving plate 1, preventing it from remaining on the production line. If the cut glass tube material passes the material sensor and is found to be free of defects, the drive mechanism is activated, causing the material receiving plate 1 to tilt toward the connecting buffer mechanism 3. This allows the glass tube material that meets the standards to enter the connecting buffer mechanism 3 along the tilted material receiving plate 1. Through the connecting buffer mechanism 3, it gently rolls onto the conveyor belt, where it is transported to the next process and moves radially along the conveyor belt. In this way, for factories with shorter lengths, by providing a corner-type glass tube distributing device, the distributing device can be adapted to systems that require glass tube transportation to be diverted.
[0033] Specifically, for the swinging material distribution mechanism, the swinging material distribution mechanism includes a first support rod 4, the material receiving plate 1 is hinged to the top end of the first support rod 4, and the driving mechanism includes a first hydraulic telescopic rod 5 and a second hydraulic telescopic rod 6 respectively arranged on both sides of the first support rod 4, the telescopic ends of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 5 and the second hydraulic telescopic rod 6 are respectively hinged to the bottom surface of the material receiving plate 1, and the lower ends of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 5 and the second hydraulic telescopic rod 6 are respectively hinged to the first base 7 and the second base 8.
[0034] In this way, by controlling the extension and retraction of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 5 and the second hydraulic telescopic rod 6 respectively, the swing direction of the receiving plate 1 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the peeling of the glass tube or allowing the glass tube to roll to the connecting buffer mechanism 3.
[0035] Furthermore, in order to reduce the rolling speed of the glass tube on the receiving plate 1 on the one hand, and to prevent the glass tube from being damaged by a hard collision with the receiving plate 1 when entering the receiving plate 1 on the other hand, the top surface of the receiving plate 1 is constructed with a plurality of first sponge strips 9, which are arranged parallel to the axis of the material, and adjacent two first sponge strips 9 are parallel and spaced apart.
[0036] Furthermore, for the connection buffer mechanism 3, the connection buffer mechanism 3 includes a pair of inclined buffer platforms 10, and the two buffer platforms 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the feeding end of the feeding belt and connected with the discharge end of the receiving plate 1. The buffer platform 10 is used to abut the end of the material.
[0037] In addition, the buffer platform 10 is installed at the top of the second support rod 11, and the distance between the two buffer platforms 10 is the same as the width of the material receiving plate 1. The width of the material receiving plate 1 is smaller than the axial length of the material glass tube. The distance between the two buffer platforms 10 is the same as the width of the feeding belt.
[0038] In this way, when the glass tube material is on the receiving plate 1, both ends of the glass tube material are suspended in the air, which does not affect the subsequent entry of the glass tube material into the connection buffer mechanism 3. Moreover, most of the body of the glass tube material is located on the receiving plate 1, which can greatly improve the stability of the glass tube material during its rolling on the receiving plate 1. Furthermore, when the material enters the buffer table 10 on the connection buffer mechanism 3 from the receiving plate 1, the buffer table 10 supports both ends of the glass tube material. At this time, the tube body of the glass tube material is suspended in the air, which facilitates the entry of the glass tube material into the feeding belt, improves the connection continuity between the buffer table 10 and the feeding belt, and prevents the material from falling.
[0039] Furthermore, similar to the material receiving platform, in order to prevent the glass tube material from rolling down too fast on the buffer platform 10, and at the same time to prevent the glass tube material from being damaged by a hard collision when entering the buffer platform 10 from the material receiving platform, the top surface of the buffer platform 10 is constructed with a plurality of second sponge strips 12, and the second sponge strips 12 are arranged parallel to the axis of the material, and adjacent second sponge strips 12 are parallel and spaced apart.
[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
