Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lamp manufacturing, and more specifically, it relates to a feeding device for lamp tubes. Background Technology

[0002] The "T5" in T5 energy-saving lamps refers to the diameter of the lamp tube (16mm, approximately 0.625 inches (1T=1 / 8 inch, 5T=0.625 inches)). T5 energy-saving lamps mainly rely on LED strips inside the lamp tube for light emission. They are widely used because they have the characteristics of no light spots, high luminous efficiency, good light uniformity, and wide illumination angle.

[0003] Although the assembly of T5 energy-saving lamps in the current technology adopts assembly line assembly, the loading and unloading of lamp tubes is still handled manually. This results in a heavy workload for workers, which is prone to errors, leading to an increase in defective lamp tubes and increased processing costs. Utility Model Content

[0012] In one embodiment, the gripping mechanism includes a second cylinder and a gripping element;

[0013] The second cylinder is mounted on the connecting frame, and the gripping member is connected to the output end of the second cylinder via a transmission connection.

[0014] In one embodiment, the gripper is a pneumatic suction nozzle.

[0015] In one embodiment, the conveying assembly includes a second frame, a second drive mechanism, and a conveying chain. The conveying chain is wound around the second frame and has a receiving member for accommodating the lamp tube. The output end of the second drive mechanism is connected to the conveying chain for transmission.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second drive mechanism includes a second drive motor, a drive shaft, and a drive gear. The drive gear meshes with the conveyor chain, is fixed to the drive shaft, and is connected to the output end of the second drive motor. The second drive motor is mounted on the second frame.

[0017] In one embodiment, a counter is also provided at one end of the drive shaft.

[0018] In one embodiment, two conveyor chains are provided.

[0019] The above-mentioned feeding device for lamp tubes has the following beneficial effects:
