DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] As Figures 1-5 shown, the utility model provides IC relay multi-pipe loading right-angle feeder, including feeding table, setting on the top end of feeding table's ejection mechanism, setting at one end of feeding table's ejection mechanism and setting at the other end of feeding table's feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism includes setting at the horizontal feeding channel 1 of feeding table discharge end, setting at the vertical feeding channel 2 of horizontal feeding channel 1 output end, setting on the poking cylinder 28 on the outer wall of vertical feeding channel 2, setting in the poking plate 3 of vertical feeding channel 2, the horizontal feeding channel 1 is communicated with vertical feeding channel 2, the poking plate 3 is fixed with the telescopic end of poking cylinder 28, and the poking cylinder 28 drives the poking plate 3 to translate in vertical feeding channel 2.

[0023] Relays are generally stored in a packaging tube in a single-row arrangement, and the packaging tube is a long strip-shaped square tube, the inner cavity of the packaging tube is matched with the shape of the relay,

[0024] In use, the entire packaging tube is manually placed on the feeding platform with both ends of the tube open. The top tube mechanism clamps and positions the tube to prevent it from moving. The top tube mechanism pushes the relays inside the tube outwards into the feeding mechanism for transport. After exiting the tube, the relays enter sequentially through the feed end of the transverse conveying channel 1. Within the transverse conveying channel 1, each relay pushes the previous one until the first relay enters the longitudinal conveying channel 2. At this point, the prying cylinder 28 drives the prying plate 3 to move horizontally along the longitudinal conveying channel 2, pushing the incoming relays along the conveying direction of the longitudinal conveying channel 2. This process is repeated to complete the 90-degree right-angle turn of the relays. In this design, the transverse conveying channel 1 and the longitudinal conveying channel 2 form an integrated T-shaped trough structure. The trough and the relays are compatible, resulting in a simple structure, low cost, and fast and stable conveying speed.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper ends of the transverse conveying channel 1 and the longitudinal conveying channel 2 are provided with upper cover plates 4.

[0026] The top cover plate 4 closes the openings above the transverse conveying channel 1 and the longitudinal conveying channel 2, preventing the relay from shifting during conveying and further ensuring the stability of the conveying process.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding motor 5 at one end of the feeding platform, a feeding gear 6 at the driving end of the feeding motor 5, and a feeding belt 7 with teeth that is slidably mounted on the feeding platform. The feeding belt 7 meshes with the feeding gear 6. The feeding motor 5 drives the feeding gear 6 to rotate, thereby causing the feeding belt 7 to move towards the other end of the feeding platform.

[0028] Driven by the top material conveyor 7, the top material conveyor belt 7 moves horizontally, entering from one end of the packaging tube, pressing and pushing the relay inside the packaging tube, causing the relay to move outward from the other end of the packaging tube. This design has a simple structure and is easy to control. It can automatically push the relay inside the packaging tube into the transverse conveyor channel 1. This structure is simple and effective, easy to control, and low in cost.

[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the jacking mechanism includes a positioning baffle 8 set on the feeding platform, a positioning cylinder 9 set opposite to the positioning baffle 8, and a positioning top plate 10 set at the driving end of the positioning cylinder 9. The positioning cylinder 9 drives the positioning top plate 10 to translate towards the positioning baffle 8. The input end of the transverse conveying channel 1 corresponds to the positioning top plate 10 and the positioning baffle 8. The jacking belt 7 translates towards the positioning top plate 10 and the positioning baffle 8.

[0030] The packaging tube is manually placed onto the feeding platform and positioned between the positioning baffle 8 and the positioning top plate 10. At this time, the positioning cylinder 9 drives the positioning top plate 10 to move towards the positioning baffle 8, clamping the packaging tube and positioning it. This effectively prevents the packaging tube from shifting under force. The structure is simple and effective, low in cost, and easy to control, further ensuring the stability of the conveying process.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it also includes a storage tube mechanism disposed on the feeding platform. The storage tube mechanism includes a first storage tube upright plate 11 and a second storage tube upright plate 12 disposed opposite each other on the upper sides of both ends of the feeding platform, a first positioning guide plate 13 disposed on the inner end face of the first storage tube upright plate 11, a second positioning guide plate 14 disposed on the inner end face of the second storage tube upright plate 12, a material tube support plate 15 disposed on the feeding platform, a material tube push plate 16 slidably disposed on the upper end of the material tube support plate 15, and a push cylinder 17 disposed on the feeding platform. The lower ends of the first storage tube upright plate 11 and the second storage tube upright plate 12 are respectively provided with a discharge port 18 and a top material port 19. The discharge port 18 corresponds to the feeding end of the transverse conveying channel 1, and the top material port 19 corresponds to the top material belt 7. The first positioning guide plate 13 is disposed on the inner end face of the first storage tube upright plate 11, a second positioning guide plate 14 disposed on the inner end face of the second storage tube upright plate 12, a material tube support plate 15 disposed on the feeding platform, a material tube push plate 16 slidably disposed on the upper end of the material tube support plate 15, and a push cylinder 17 disposed on the feeding platform. Two vertically arranged parallel plates 13 and two vertically arranged parallel second positioning guide plates 14 are provided, with the first positioning guide plate 13 and the second positioning guide plate 14 facing each other; the material tube support plate 15 is located below the first positioning guide plate 13 and the second positioning guide plate 14; the material tube push plate 16 is connected to the driving end of the push pipe cylinder 17, and the push pipe cylinder 17 drives the material tube push plate 16 to move longitudinally on the material tube support plate 15; the positioning cylinder 9 and the positioning top plate 10 are located below the material tube support plate 15; two positioning baffles 8 are provided and vertically arranged on the inner side of the first storage tube upright plate 11 and the inner end face of the second storage tube upright plate 12, and the positioning baffles 8 are respectively located on the side opposite to the positioning cylinder 9 of the first positioning guide plate 13 and the second positioning guide plate 14.

[0032] The packaging tube is manually placed between the first storage tube upright plate 11 and the second storage tube upright plate 12. One end of the packaging tube is located between the first positioning guide plates 13 and the other end is located between the second positioning guide plates 14. It is placed vertically downward until the lower end of the packaging tube abuts against the material tube support plate 15. This design can guide and limit the placement of the packaging tube, making the operation more convenient.

[0033] After the packaging tube falls onto the tube support plate 15, the tube pusher cylinder 17 drives the tube pusher plate 16 to move longitudinally from the outside to the inside of the tube support plate 15, pushing the packaging tube off the tube support plate 15 and onto the feeding platform, positioned between the positioning baffle 8 and the positioning top plate 10. At this time, the positioning cylinder 9 drives the positioning top plate 10 to move and press the packaging tube against the positioning baffle 8, completing the clamping and positioning of the packaging tube. The two ends of the packaging tube correspond to the discharge port 18 and the top port 19, respectively. At this time, subsequent packaging tubes can be loaded, and after the packaging tube falls onto the tube support plate 15, it waits until the packaging tube on the feeding platform becomes empty, that is, after the relay in the current packaging tube has finished feeding, the empty packaging tube is unloaded. The subsequent packaging tubes on the tube support plate 15 continue to fall onto the feeding platform and be clamped and fed according to the above actions, and so on, to complete the continuous and uninterrupted feeding, effectively ensuring the feeding speed and stability.

[0034] In this design, the lower ends of the first positioning guide plate 13 and the second positioning guide plate 14 are higher than the material tube push plate 16, which does not hinder the translation of the packaging tube on the material tube support plate 15. The lower end of the positioning baffle 8 abuts against the upper surface of the feeding platform, and the distance between the positioning baffle 8 and the material tube support plate 15 is greater than the width of the packaging tube, so that the packaging tube can fall up and down from the material tube support plate 15 without hindering it. At the same time, the packaging tube is guided and limited, so that the packaging tube can fall accurately between the positioning baffle 8 and the material tube support plate 15.

[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, it also includes a pipe unloading mechanism set on the feeding platform. The pipe unloading mechanism includes a pipe unloading hole 20 set on the feeding platform, a pipe connection chamber 21 set at the lower end of the feeding platform, a pipe unloading push plate 22 slidably set on the feeding platform, and a pipe unloading cylinder 23 set on the feeding platform. The pipe connection chamber 21 has a groove structure with openings at the top and on both sides. The pipe unloading hole 20 is located below the pipe support plate 15. The pipe unloading push plate 22 is located on the same side as the positioning baffle 8 and is opposite to the positioning top plate 10. The pipe unloading push plate 22 is connected to the driving end of the pipe unloading cylinder 23. The pipe unloading cylinder 23 drives the pipe unloading push plate 22 to move longitudinally toward the positioning top plate 10.

[0036] After the relay output in the packaging tube is completed and it becomes an empty tube, the positioning cylinder 9 drives the positioning top plate 10 to retract, release the packaging tube, and avoid the unloading hole 20. Then, the unloading cylinder 23 drives the unloading push plate 22 to move horizontally, pushing the empty tube on the feeding platform toward the unloading hole 20 until the empty tube falls from the unloading hole 20 into the connecting tube compartment 21. The next packaging tube with a relay falls from the material tube support plate 15 and is clamped between the positioning top plate 10 and the positioning baffle 8 for continued feeding.

[0037] In this design, the unloading hole 20 is located below the material tube support plate 15. When the packaging tube falls from the material tube support plate 15, it will not fall onto the unloading hole 20. This design can realize automatic unloading and replacement of the packaging tube, making it more convenient to use, with a higher degree of automation, and further improving the feeding speed and conveying stability.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding platform includes a platform 24, a first support 25 and a second support 26 disposed on the lower sides of both ends of the platform 24, a counterweight block disposed at the lower end of the top material belt 7 and slidably disposed on the second support 26, a guide wheel 27 disposed at the end of the platform 24, and the top material belt 7 is vertically disposed and becomes horizontal after the upper end passes around the guide wheel 27.

[0039] After the upper end of the top material belt 7 is rotated 90° around the outside of the guide wheel 27, it changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state. Driven by the top material motor 5, it passes through the top material opening 19 and enters the packaging tube from one end, pushing the relay to the other end of the packaging tube. After all the relays in the packaging tube are pushed, the top material belt 7 retracts. The counterweight can make the top material belt 7 retract more smoothly and avoid the problem of bending when the top material belt 7 retracts.

[0040] The sliding mechanism in this design is achieved through the combination of a slide rail and a slider, which is a conventional technique in this field and will not be described in detail here.
