Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cane assembly equipment, and in particular to a limb tube delivery device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, canes are a walking aid, typically used to help people with mobility impairments walk.
[0003] Currently, most methods for conveying cane tubes involve workers manually moving the processed cane tubes from one process to the next. While this method is simple and direct, it is inefficient and labor-intensive. Although existing belt conveyors or roller conveyors can achieve automated conveying, these drive structures are prone to mechanical vibration when running at high speeds. This can cause the conveyed cane tubes to shift or become damaged, making it impossible to ensure that the cane tubes are firmly clamped during transport. This can lead to products falling or deforming during transport, increasing the defect rate.
[0004] Therefore, a limb tube delivery device is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0038] The limb tube conveying mechanism 2 of this utility model includes a conveying frame 201, a transfer frame 203, and a driving mechanism. The conveying frame 201 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1 via multiple connecting seats 202, serving as a frame to support the transfer frame 203 and other related components. The secure connection between the conveying frame 201 and the workbench 1 via multiple connecting seats 202 ensures the rigidity and stability of the entire conveying mechanism. A transmission chain 210 is installed on the conveying frame 201, and a chain plate 211 is fixedly connected to the transmission chain 210. The transfer frame 203 is fixedly connected to the chain plate 211. The transmission chain 210 is responsible for transmitting the power of the driving mechanism to the chain plate 211 and the transfer frame 203, with the chain plate 211 serving as the direct carrier of the transfer frame 203. The chain plate 211 moves together with the transmission chain 210, driving the conveyor frame 203 and its fixed gripper 212 to move along a predetermined path; the conveyor frame 203 has a fixed gripper 212 for gripping the limb tube 6. The fixed gripper 212 is specifically designed to grip the cane limb tube 6. Its design ensures that the limb tube 6 is firmly gripped throughout the conveying process, preventing it from falling or deforming, and reducing the defect rate.

The guide frame 501 is fixedly connected to the worktable 1 via a support frame 508. The support frame 508 is used to firmly fix the guide frame 501 to the worktable 1, enhancing the structural stability of the entire gripping and conveying mechanism. The gripping mechanism is installed on the guide frame 501 and is used to grip and convey the limb tube 6 on the fixed gripper 212. The guide frame 501 provides a fixed mounting base for the gripping mechanism. Two linear guide rails 506 are fixedly connected to the guide frame 501, providing a precise guiding path for the carriage 507 and ensuring the accuracy of the gripper 505's movement and the consistency of its repeatability.
[0041] This invention features a drive motor B502 fixedly connected to the guide frame 501. The drive motor B502 drives the gripper 505 to move laterally. Precise speed and position control can be achieved through the control of the drive motor B502 to adapt to different production rhythms and process requirements. Two drive wheels 503 are connected to the output end of the drive motor B502, symmetrically arranged. One drive wheel 503 is driven by the drive motor B502. The synchronous belt 504 drives the slide 507 and its gripper 505 along the linear guide rail 506, achieving indirect drive of the gripper 505 by the drive motor B502. The synchronous belt 504 not only provides smooth movement but also reduces mechanical wear and extends service life. The gripping mechanism includes a gripping claw 505 and a slide 507. The slide 507 is fixedly connected to the transport timing belt 504. The gripping claw 505 is installed at the lower end of the slide 507. The slide 507 serves as the carrier of the gripping claw 505 and moves linearly along the guide rail, ensuring the accuracy of the gripping action. The gripping claw 505 is specifically used to remove the limb tube 6 from the fixed gripper 212 and place it in the assembly mechanism 4 for assembly.
[0042] Working principle:
[0043] 1. Startup and Initialization
[0044] Control device 3: As the control center of the entire device, control device 3 is responsible for coordinating the actions of all moving parts. When the device is started, it initializes the state of each motor and ensures that they are in the correct starting position.
[0045] 2. Operation of the first gripping and conveying mechanism 5
[0046] Drive motor B502: When it is necessary to feed the limb tube 6 on the fixed gripper 212, drive motor B502 mounted on the guide frame 501 is started. Drive motor B drives one of the two symmetrically arranged drive wheels 503, which in turn drives the slide 507 and its gripper 505 to move along the linear guide rail 506 via the transport timing belt 504.
[0047] Carriage 507 and gripper 505: Carriage 507 moves linearly along linear guide 506 to ensure that gripper 505 can accurately reach the designated position. Gripper 505 is controlled by drive motor B502 and can adapt to different sizes and types of cane tubes 6, ensuring that the cane tube 6 can be accurately removed from the fixed gripper 212 every time.
[0048] Placement and assembly: The gripper 505 places the limb tube 6 on the fixed gripper 212. After the placement is completed, the gripper 505 returns to its original position to prepare for the next cycle.
[0049] 3. Operation of limb tube delivery mechanism 2
[0050] Drive mechanism (drive motor A204): When the control device 3 issues a command, the drive motor A204 starts to run, driving the drive wheel 206 to rotate through its output end. The drive wheel 206 drives the driven wheel 207 to rotate through the synchronous belt, thereby causing the transmission shaft 208 to rotate. The transmission shaft 208 then transmits power to the transmission chain 210, causing the chain plates 211 on the transmission chain 210 to move accordingly.
[0051] Conveyor 203 and Fixed Grippers 212: As the drive chain 210 moves, the chain plate 211 drives the conveyor 203, which is fixedly connected to it, to move forward along a predetermined path. The conveyor 203 is equipped with specially designed fixed grippers 212 for firmly gripping the cane limb tube 6. The design of the fixed grippers 212 ensures that the limb tube 6 will not slip or fall during the entire conveying process, thereby reducing the risk of product damage.
[0052] 4. Operation of the second gripping and conveying mechanism 7
[0053] Drive motor B502: When it is necessary to grip the limb tube 6 on the fixed gripper 212, drive motor B502 mounted on the guide frame 501 is started. Drive motor B drives one of the two symmetrically arranged drive wheels 503, which in turn drives the slide 507 and its gripper 505 to move along the linear guide rail 506 via the transport timing belt 504.
[0054] Carriage 507 and gripper 505: Carriage 507 moves linearly along linear guide 506 to ensure that gripper 505 can accurately reach the designated position. Gripper 505 is controlled by drive motor B502 and can adapt to different sizes and types of cane tubes 6, ensuring that the cane tube 6 can be accurately removed from the fixed gripper 212 every time.
[0055] Placement and assembly: After the gripper 505 removes the limb tube 6 from the fixed gripper 212, it continues to move along the linear guide 506 to the target position assembly mechanism 4. After the placement action is completed, the gripper 505 returns to its original position to prepare for the next cycle.
