[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-stage feeding device includes a housing 100, a feeding assembly, and a rotating shaft 230. The housing 100 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The rotating shaft 230 is installed vertically through the housing 100, can rotate circumferentially inside the housing 100, and extends to the outside of the housing 100 at both ends. There are multiple rotating shafts 230, and the multiple rotating shafts 230 have the same structure. The feeding assembly includes a feeding slide 210 and a feeding tray 220. The feeding tray 220 has a plate-like structure, and there are multiple feeding trays 220. They are detachably installed on the upper end of the corresponding rotating shaft 230 and can rotate with the rotating shaft 230. The outer edge of the feeding tray 220 has multiple arc-shaped structures, which are suitable for clamping needle tubes. The feeding slide 210 is located on the outside of the feeding tray 220 and is suitable for transporting needle tubes transmitted from the outside. The arc-shaped structure on the outer edge of the feeding tray 220 is suitable for cooperating with the feeding slide 210 to clamp and obtain the transported needle tubes from the feeding slide 210.

[0025] Specifically, the housing 100 is a hollow cylindrical structure. To allow the rotating shaft 230 to pass vertically through the housing 100 and rotate circumferentially inside, both ends of the rotating shaft 230 extend to the outside of the housing 100 for connection to the feeding assembly. There are multiple rotating shafts 230 with identical structures. The feeding assembly includes a feeding chute 210 and a feeding tray 220. The feeding tray 210 has a plate-like structure, and there are multiple feeding trays 210, which are detachable. At the upper end of the corresponding rotating shaft 239, and being able to rotate together with the rotating shaft 230, this arrangement enables multiple feeding trays 220 to operate; the outer edge of the feeding tray 220 is provided with multiple arc-shaped structures, which are suitable for clamping needle tubes; the feeding slide 210 is located on the outside of the feeding tray 220 and is suitable for transporting needle tubes transmitted from the outside; the arc-shaped structure on the outer edge of the feeding tray 220 is suitable for cooperating with the feeding slide 210 to clamp and obtain the transported needle tubes from the feeding slide 210.

[0026] In one possible implementation, each feed tray 220 is at the same height, and multiple rotating shafts 230 are arranged from the inside to the outside.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple feeding trays 220 are arranged around the rotating shaft 230. When the multiple feeding trays 220 are arranged together, they do not form a complete circle because a certain amount of space is required for the feeding trays 220 to complete the rotation. Since there are multiple feeding trays 220 and rotating shafts 230, and each feeding tray 220 will rotate at different times, multiple rotating shafts 230 need to rotate at different times. In order not to occupy too much space, the multiple rotating shafts 230 are arranged from the inside to the outside.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the feeding chute 210 has a hollow circular plate-like structure. The housing 100 passes through the circular plate-like structure to fix the feeding chute 210. The feeding chute 210 includes a drainage section 212 and a turning section 213. The outlet end of the drainage section 212 is connected to the inlet end of the turning section 213. The turning section 212 is an arc-shaped plate-like structure that corresponds to the feeding tray 220. The turning section 213 is located on the outside of the feeding tray 220, and there is a preset distance between the turning section 213 and the outer edge of the feeding tray 220, which is suitable for cooperating with the feeding tray 220 to transport the needle and prevent it from falling off.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, in order to fix the feeding slide 210 to the housing 100, the bottom of the feeding slide 210 is set as a hollow circular plate structure with a certain thickness. The housing 100 passes through the circular plate structure and connects to the feeding slide 210. A connecting rod is provided at the bottom of the turning part 213, and a fixing plate is provided on one side of the circular plate structure. The connecting rod is located on the top of the fixing plate, which realizes the fixing of the drainage part 212 and the turning part 213 to the housing 100. The feeding slide 210 includes the drainage part 212 and the turning part 213. The outlet end of the drainage part 212 is connected to the inlet end of the turning part 213. This setting is to guide the needle to the turning part 213. The turning part 213 is an arc-shaped plate structure that corresponds to the feeding tray 220. The turning part 212 is located on the outer edge of the feeding tray 220. This setting is to prevent the needle from falling off when the feeding tray 220 is rotating. In one possible implementation, a connecting rod is provided at the bottom of the steering part, a fixing plate is provided on one side of the circular plate structure, and the connecting rod is provided at the top of the fixing plate.

[0030] In one possible implementation, a control group and a drive group are also included. The control group is located at the bottom of the housing 100 and is used to control the rotation of the feeding group. The drive group is located at the bottom of the control group and is electrically connected to the control group to provide power to the control group.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the control group includes a drive gear column 310 and a driven gear 320. The drive gear column 310 is arranged around the driven gear 320. The gear on the drive gear column 310 is connected to the driven gear 320 at a corresponding height. There are multiple drive gear columns 310, which are suitable for driving the driven gear 320. The driven gear 320 is connected to the rotating shaft 230. There are multiple driven gears 320, which are used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control group includes a driving gear 310 and a driven gear 320. The driving gear 310 is connected to the driven gear 320. Because the driven gear 320 is vertically arranged, the vertical direction here is... Figure 1 The top of Figure 1Below, because each driven gear 320 has a different height, the gear on the drive gear post 310 is connected to the driven gear of the corresponding height. When the drive gear post 310 rotates, it drives the driven gear 320 to rotate, and the driven gear 320 drives the rotating shaft 230 to rotate, thereby causing the feeding tray 220 to rotate. There are multiple drive gear posts 310 and multiple driven gears 320, and the number of both is the same. The driven gears 320 are connected to the rotating shaft 230, and the number of driven gears 320 and rotating shaft 230 is the same. Because there are multiple feeding trays 220, in order to control the feeding tray 220 in segments, there are multiple rotating shafts 230, drive gear posts 310, and driven gears 320, and the number of each is the same.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the control group further includes a bearing housing 330 and a support 340. The support 340 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 100. The bearing housing 330 is connected to the support 320 via a drive gear column 310. A plurality of bearings 331 are disposed on the bearing housing 330. The drive gear column 310 is disposed on the bearings 331. The drive gear column 310 and the bearings 331 are rotatably connected, and the number of bearings 331 is the same as the number of drive gear columns 310.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control group also includes a bearing housing 330 and a support housing 340. The support housing 340 is located at the bottom of the housing 100 and is used to support the housing 100. The bearing housing 330 is used to support the drive gear column 310 and the driven gear 320. The bearing housing 330 is connected to the support housing 340 through the drive gear column 310. In order to enable the drive gear column 310 to rotate continuously, multiple bearings 331 are provided on the bearing housing 330, and the drive gear column 310 is mounted on the bearings 330.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the drive assembly includes a motor 410, a motor mounting plate 420, and a coupling 430; the motor 410 is located at the bottom of the motor mounting plate 420, and the coupling 430 is located at the top of the motor mounting plate 420. The number of motors 410 and the number of couplings 430 are the same as the number of drive gear columns 310, and the positions of the motors 410 and the couplings 430 correspond to the positions of the drive gear columns 310.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the drive assembly includes a motor 410, a motor mounting plate 420, and a coupling 430. The motor 410 is located at the bottom of the motor mounting plate 420 and supplies power to the drive gear 310, causing the drive gear 310 to rotate. The coupling 430 is located at the top of the motor mounting plate 420 and transmits electrical energy to the drive gear 310. Therefore, the positions of the motor 410 and the coupling 430 correspond to the positions of the drive gear 310, and in order to enable the drive gear 310 to work at different times, the number of motors 410 and the number of couplings 430 are the same as the number of drive gears 310.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the drive assembly further includes partition columns 440, which are disposed between the motor mounting plate 420 and the bearing housing 330. Multiple partition columns 440 are provided. The partition columns 440 serve a supporting function.

[0038] In one possible implementation, a baffle 240 is also included, which is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 230 by a threaded connection.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to prevent the feeding tray 220 from detaching from the top of the rotating shaft 230 during rotation, a baffle 240 is provided on the top of the rotating shaft 230.

[0040] When this application is used, the motor 410 is powered on, and the coupling 430 transmits electrical energy to the drive gear column 310. The drive gear column 310 rotates, which drives the driven gear 320 to rotate. The driven gear 320 drives the rotating shaft 230 to rotate, thereby causing the feeding tray 220 to start rotating. After the needle tube is guided to the designated position through the drainage part 212 and the track, the needle tube is clamped by the arc structure on the outer edge of the feeding tray 220. After clamping, it rotates to the next designated position, and then the track moves the needle tube to the next machine.

[0041] This application includes a housing 100, a feeding assembly, and rotating shafts 230. The housing 100 is a hollow cylindrical structure. To allow the rotating shafts 230 to penetrate the housing 100 vertically and rotate circumferentially inside the housing 100, both ends of the rotating shafts 230 extend to the outside of the housing 100 for connection with the feeding assembly. Multiple rotating shafts 230 have identical structures. The feeding assembly includes feeding slides 210 and feeding trays 220. The feeding trays 210 have a plate-like structure, and multiple trays 210 are detachably mounted on the upper end of the corresponding rotating shafts 230 and can rotate with the rotating shafts 230. This arrangement allows multiple feeding trays 210 to rotate circumferentially. The feeding tray 220 is used for operation; multiple arc-shaped structures are provided on the outer edge of the feeding tray 220, which are suitable for clamping needle tubes; the feeding slide 210 is located on the outside of the feeding tray 220 and is suitable for transporting needle tubes from the outside; the arc-shaped structure on the outer edge of the feeding tray 220 is suitable for cooperating with the feeding slide 210 to clamp and obtain the transported needle tubes from the feeding slide 210; by setting multiple feeding trays 220, rotating shaft 230, driving gear column 310 and driven gear 320, this application reduces the intermittent time, avoids the jamming phenomenon, and improves the working efficiency, solving the problem that the feeding machine with a single feeding tray is relatively slow, has a long intermediate intermittent time, and is prone to jamming.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
