[0018] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description of this module is only exemplary and explanatory and should not have any limiting effect on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the technical solution is a rotary automatic tube-sticking machine, comprising a machine platform, on which a rotating hub 1, a conveyor chain 2, and a straw bin 3 are provided. The conveyor chain 2 transports products around the rotating hub 1. Straw conveying devices 4 and tube-sticking devices 5 are provided on both sides of the rotating hub. The motor is started to start the rotating hub 1, the conveyor chain 2, and the straw conveying device 4 to start operation. The conveyor chain 2 starts to operate, and conveys the products to be tube-sticked from one end to the compartment of the rotating hub 1. The straws in the tube bin 3 are sprayed with glue at the side panels and then conveyed to the product tube-sticking position through the straw conveying device 4. The pushing device 51 in the tube-sticking device 5 pushes the straws onto the product and fixes the straws to the product through the bonding plate. After the tube-sticking operation is completed, the product continues to be conveyed to the next process or collection area through the conveyor chain 2. At the same time, the rotating hub 1 continues to rotate to prepare for the continuous tube-sticking operation.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating hub 1 has a tension sleeve 11 above it, an upper elbow guide groove 111 above it, a bushing 12 below it, a lower back-cutting groove 121 below it, a rotating shaft 122 below it, the rotating hub 1 is mounted on the rotating shaft 122, the rotating shaft 122 is mounted on a motor fixing plate 13, a motor 130 is mounted above the motor fixing plate 13, the rotating hub 1 has grids and back-cutting grooves 10, the back-cutting grooves 10 are aligned with the notches of the upper elbow guide groove 111 and the lower back-cutting groove 121. The rotating shaft 122 uses a combined design of a connecting pipe 123, a bearing 124, a driven gear 125, and a thrust ring 126 to ensure stable rotation of the rotating hub. The connecting pipe 123 and the bearing 124 are located above the motor fixing plate 13, the driven gear 125 and the thrust ring 125 are located below the motor fixing plate 13, and a driving gear 131 is provided below the motor fixing plate 13, and the driving gear 131 is installed on the motor.

[0021] like Figure 1 and 3As shown, the straw conveying device 4 includes a conveyor chain 40 and a transfer device 42. A side panel 41 is provided next to the conveyor chain 40. The side panel 41 includes a guard plate 411 and a guide rod 412. The straw bin 3 is located on one side of the guard plate 411 and connected to the conveyor chain 40. The guard plate 411 is a toothed design that allows for separate straws to be glued separately to prevent the front and rear straws from sticking together. A guide rod fixing block 413 is provided on one side of the guard plate 411. The guide rod 414 passes through the guide rod fixing block 413 and the guard plate 411. A glue spray head can be mounted on the guide rod 414. The transfer device 42 includes a rotating drum 421, a guide rod 422, and an adjustment rod 423. The adjustment rod 423 has a handwheel 424. The guide rod 422 drives the rotating drum 422 to rotate. The adjustment rod 423 is used to adjust the rotation speed of the conveyor chain 40.

[0022] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the tube-applying device 5 includes a pusher 50, which includes a push motor 51 and a push plate 52. The push plate 52 includes a laminating plate 521, a slider 522, a cutter 523, and a guide rod fixing block 524. The laminating plate 521 can be customized according to the product's appearance. The guide rod fixing block 524 is provided with a guide rod 525, which passes through the laminating plate 521 and the slider 522 in sequence. The cutter 523 is mounted on one side of the slider 522, which is provided with a pressure block 526 and a baffle 527. The pusher 52 is used to push the straws on the conveyor chain 40. The laminating plate 521 fixes the straws to the product. The slider 522 slides on the guide rod 525, driving the cutter 523 to separate the front and rear straws. After the front and rear straws are cut, the gluing device 5 presses the straws again onto the product.

[0023] The rotary automatic tube applicator also features photoelectric sensors. When the first photoelectric sensor detects the first straw, the glue applicator sprays glue onto the straw within a set time. When the second photoelectric sensor detects the first product on the rotating hub 1 grid, the motor of the pusher 50 moves within a set time, driving the push plate 52 to push the straw in front of the product. When the third photoelectric sensor detects a straw in front of a product, the laminating plate 521 presses the straw onto the product, and the cutter 523 slides to separate the front and rear straws. When the fourth photoelectric sensor detects the return of the cutter 523, the gluing device 5 moves forward, pressing the straw firmly onto the product. Simultaneously, the rotating hub 1 rotates to the next grid.
