This invention, through the metal tube feeding unit, metal tube positioning unit, and metal tube loading unit, can automatically feed metal tubes into the injection molding machine, reducing manual labor and thus improving production efficiency and safety during the plastic coating process of metal tubes.
[0004] However, while the automatic metal tube feeding equipment mentioned above can achieve automatic feeding, it uses multiple different drive devices during the feeding process to facilitate the movement and positioning of materials. These devices require motors and cylinders as power sources, which can easily lead to power waste in cases where feeding accuracy is not high. Therefore, an automatic metal tube feeding equipment for automobiles is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, the automatic metal pipe feeding device for automobiles includes a base 1 with a hollowed-out bottom. A support frame 20 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the top of the support frame 20 is fixedly connected to a conveyor frame 21. A feeding mechanism is provided at the front end of the conveyor frame 21. The feeding mechanism includes a connecting block 32, the rear end of which is fixedly connected to a cylinder 31. The cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to a bracket 40, which is fixedly connected to the base 1. The connecting block 32 is rotatably connected to two sets of push rods 30, and the push rods 30 are fixedly connected to a mounting block 33. A spring 34 and a rod 35 are fixedly connected to the mounting block 33. The side of the spring 34 away from the mounting block 33 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 38. The bottom end of the fixing frame 38 is fixedly connected to the equipment base 1. The rod 35 passes through the fixing frame 38. The right side of the top mounting block 33 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 29. The right side of the bottom mounting block 33 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 26. The fixing block 29 is fixedly connected to the feeding rack 28. The connecting rod 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the baffle 23. A rectangular groove 24 is provided on the baffle 23. The top end of the baffle 23 is in contact with the bottom end of the conveyor frame 21.
[0024] Through the structural design of the feeding mechanism, a single cylinder 31 is used as a power source to drive the automatic feeding of automotive metal pipes. Through the structural design of the baffle 23, when the feeding rack 28 is feeding, the top of the baffle 23 will abut against the bottom of the conveyor rack 21, thus blocking the automotive metal pipes on the conveyor rack 21. As the feeding rack 28 gradually moves downwards, the baffle 23 will gradually rise, and the rectangular groove 24 on the baffle 23 will align with the bottom of the conveyor rack 21, ensuring that the automotive metal pipes on the conveyor rack 21 can smoothly slide onto the feeding rack 28, thus achieving continuous feeding operation. During operation, the automotive metal pipes to be processed are first conveyed through the conveyor rack 21. When the automotive metal pipes move to the bottom of the conveyor rack 21, they are blocked by the top of the baffle 23, preventing them from sliding off the conveyor rack 21. Then, the cylinder 31 is activated, pulling the connecting block 3. 2. Moving backward, the connecting block 32 is rotatably connected to the two sets of push rods 30, thus pulling the two sets of push rods 30 to move. During the movement of the push rods 30, the mounting block 33 will move, and the two sets of mounting blocks 33 will move closer to each other. The top mounting block 33 is connected to the loading rack 28 through the fixing block 29, and the loading rack 28 will gradually descend. The bottom mounting block 33 is connected to the bottom of the baffle 23 through the connecting rod 26, and the baffle 23 will gradually rise. When the loading rack 28 descends to its lowest height, the rear end of the loading rack 28 will be aligned with the bottom end of the conveyor frame 21. The rectangular groove 24 opened on the baffle 23 will move to the position of the rear end of the loading rack 28. At this time, the automotive metal pipe on the conveyor frame 21 will slide into the loading rack 28 through the rectangular groove 24. When the cylinder 31 is started again, the two sets of mounting blocks 33 will move away from each other, and the loading rack 28 will drive the automotive metal pipe to rise, thereby completing the loading operation.
[0025] Furthermore, two sets of support plates 25 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the baffle 23. The support plates 25 are triangular in design and are fixedly connected to the connecting rod 26.
[0026] During operation, the support plate 25 is fixed to the bottom of the baffle 23 to improve the connection strength between the connecting rod 26 and the bottom of the baffle 23, ensuring that the baffle 23 will not easily shake during movement.
[0027] Furthermore, the connecting rod 26 is L-shaped, and a fixing post 27 is inserted on the connecting rod 26 and the fixing block 29. The top of the fixing post 27 is T-shaped, and the bottom of the fixing post 27 is fixedly connected to the equipment base 1.
[0028] During operation, the connecting rod 26 and the fixing block 29 are both penetrated by the fixing column 27. The fixing column 27 guides the movement of the connecting rod 26 and the fixing block 29 to ensure the stability of the baffle 23 and the feeding rack 28 during movement, which helps to reduce the swaying amplitude of the baffle 23 and the feeding rack 28 during movement.
[0029] Furthermore, a slide rod 37 is fixedly connected to the left side of the mounting block 33. The slide rod 37 is designed as a long rectangle and fits against the inner wall of the slide groove 39. The slide groove 39 is opened on the fixing frame 38.
[0030] During operation, the slide bar 37 is fixed to the left side of the mounting block 33 and fits against the inner wall of the slide groove 39 to ensure the stable movement of the mounting block 33 when it moves.
[0031] Furthermore, a placement groove 36 is fixedly connected to the left side of the slide bar 37, and different weight counterweights can be placed inside the placement groove 36 according to the different weights on the right side of the mounting block 33.
[0032] During operation, the placement groove 36 is fixed on the slide bar 37. By placing counterweights of different weights into the placement groove 36, the weight on the right side of the mounting block 33 is balanced, so that the center of gravity can be located on the mounting block 33, which is conducive to the smooth movement of the mounting block 33.
[0033] Furthermore, side plates are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the conveyor frame 21, and two sets of guide blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor frame 21.
[0034] During operation, two sets of guide blocks 22 are fixed on the bottom of the conveyor frame 21. The guide blocks 22 are triangular in design and can guide the automotive metal pipes on the conveyor frame 21 to ensure that the automotive metal pipes can slide accurately into the loading rack 28.
[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
