[0019] The two embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] First implementation method:
[0021] Figure 1-3 A lamp tube self-feeding device is shown, including a platform 1, on which a support cylinder 4 is fixedly installed, and a vacuum generator 5 is installed above the support cylinder 4. A translation motor 2 is fixedly connected to the side end of the platform 1, and a feeding clamp 12 is connected to the output end of the translation motor 2. A feeding clamp 11 is installed at the top of the feeding clamp 12. A translation motor positioning sensor 13 is fixedly connected to the platform 1 on the side opposite to the translation motor 2. The support cylinder 4 is installed in the middle of the platform 1, and the vacuum generator 5 is connected directly above the support cylinder 4. A linear vibrator 10 is fixedly connected to the platform 1 on the side opposite to the support cylinder 4, and a lamp tube hopper track 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the linear vibrator 10. A rotating finger cylinder 6 is installed above the translation motor 2. A finger cylinder 7 is installed on the side of the rotating finger cylinder 6 near the vacuum generator 5, and a tube clamp cylinder 8 is installed on the side of the finger cylinder 7 away from the rotating finger cylinder 6.
[0022] A translation motor origin limit switch 3 is fixedly connected to platform 1, and the translation motor origin limit switch 3 is electrically connected to translation motor 2 through wires. The translation motor position sensor 13 and the support cylinder 4 are controlled by a lamp switch. All action time cycles are adjusted to the position within the round bar's over-position cycle. The action of the loading clamp 12 belongs to the round bar automatic cutting program. The vibration ends when the finger cylinder 7 is released. The end time during this period is adjustable. The start time and end time of other actions are also adjustable.
[0023] This solution allows for the following steps: The support cylinder 4 begins to lift the lamp tube upwards, simultaneously opening the solenoid valve of the vacuum generator 5. The clamp cylinder 8 then clamps the lamp tube, while the solenoid valve of the vacuum generator 5 closes. The support cylinder 4 descends, and the finger cylinder 7 clamps the lamp tube. The linear vibrator 10 starts, and the rotating finger cylinder 6 pushes a rack and pinion to drive the gear, rotating the finger cylinder 7 180°, thus rotating the exhaust pipe from bottom to top. The finger cylinder 7 then releases, the rotating finger cylinder 6 resumes its rotation, driving the finger cylinder 7 back to 0°, and the linear vibrator 10 stops. The translation motor 2 starts and moves the lamp tube from the origin to the top of the loading clamp 12. The translation motor positioning sensor 13 detects the signal, and the support cylinder 4 rises in advance. At the same time, the pipe clamp cylinder 8 opens, and the lamp tube falls into the loading clamp 12. The translation motor 2 returns to the origin before the loading clamp 12 rises. The pipe clamp cylinder 8 clamps the raised lamp tube with low air pressure and starts the next cycle. The diffuse reflection sensor on the loading clamp 12 detects the lamp tube, and the station lock clamp cylinder starts, effectively achieving the effect of automatic lamp tube loading.
[0024] In light of current practical needs, the above-described embodiments adopted in this application are not limited to this scope of protection. Any changes made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
