Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sorting machine feeding equipment, specifically a lifting tube feeding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Solar photovoltaic modules are an important component of solar photovoltaic panels, which can convert light energy into electrical energy. After performance testing, solar photovoltaic modules need to be packaged into material tubes for easy transportation and use. Workers often use sorting machines to transport the material tubes, and the sorting equipment needs to be loaded with materials during use.
[0003] In the existing technology, sorting equipment can automate the feeding of solar photovoltaic modules. However, when feeding photovoltaic modules, the existing market uses a tube feeding mechanism. There are many types of tube feeding mechanisms on the market, but when these mechanisms are used, the feeding and empty tube collection are not on the same side, which makes the workload of the staff large and the mechanism is unstable and has a high failure rate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. The pipe lifting and feeding mechanism proposed in this utility model has both the feeding and empty pipe collection on the same side, which can reduce the workload of personnel.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pipe lifting and feeding mechanism, including: a mounting plate 3, a frame 2 fixedly mounted on one side of the top of the mounting plate 3, a guide frame 5 fixedly mounted on the other side of the frame 2, a feeding channel 21 provided inside the guide frame 5, a pipe moving cylinder 15 fixedly mounted in the middle of the frame 2, a material moving plate 16 fixedly mounted on the driving end of the pipe moving cylinder 15, a jamming sensor 14, an air blowing block 20 and a material blocking cylinder 4 arranged sequentially from left to right on one side of the guide frame 5, a fixing frame, the fixing frame fixedly mounted on the guide frame 5, a pipe pressing cylinder 11 fixedly mounted inside the fixing frame, a linear guide rail 12 fixedly mounted inside the fixing frame, a pipe pressing block 10 slidably mounted on the linear guide rail 12, the driving end of the pipe pressing cylinder 11 fixedly mounted on the pipe pressing block 10, and an adjusting screw 13 mounted on the fixing frame.
[0024] Several product tubes are stacked in the feeding trough 6. The bottom of the tube has a tube groove on the transfer plate 16. The transfer plate 16 is fixed on the linear bearing 17 seat. With the cooperation of the tube transfer cylinder 15, the transfer plate 16 can move back and forth. Since the tube groove on the transfer plate 16 is the same thickness as the tube, only one tube can be moved out when moving. The second tube will be restricted by the baffles on both sides of the feeding trough 6. When the transfer plate 16 moves to the appropriate position, the tube pusher 19 at the end of the tube can push the tube to the position of the linear guide rail 12. The tube pressing cylinder 11, together with the tube pressing block 10, can ensure the stability of the tube. And by setting the adjusting screw 13, it is easy to adjust the interface position between the tube lifting cylinder 9 and the linear guide rail 12.
[0025] A vertical frame 7 is symmetrically installed on the upper part of the frame 2. Each vertical frame 7 has a feeding trough 6 on one side close to the other. The feeding trough 6 is used to store product tubes. An installation box 1 is fixedly installed on the front side of the frame 2. A storage box 8 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the frame 2. The storage box 8 is used to collect product tubes. A tube lifting cylinder 9 is fixedly installed on one side inside the frame 2. A transfer trough is opened on each of the transfer plates 16. The transfer plates 16 are all installed inside the frame 2 through linear bearings 17. A tube separation mechanism 18 is fixedly installed on the rear of the other side of the frame 2. The tube separation mechanism 18 is used to separate product tubes. A tube pushing mechanism 19 is fixedly installed on the front of the other side of the frame 2. The tube pushing mechanism 19 is used to push and move product tubes.
[0026] The upright frame 7 is equipped with a feeding trough 6, which can limit the material tubes and ensure that the material tubes fall sequentially without affecting each other. After all the products in the material tubes have slid down, the lifting cylinder 9 opens, the material tubes fall down, and the transfer plate 16 feeds in another material tube. At this time, the empty tube will be pushed out and slide into the storage box 8, which is convenient for the staff to collect the empty tubes. The staff does not need to walk back and forth to collect the empty tubes, which can reduce the workload of the staff. In addition, the pushing mechanism 19 is designed with a buffer spring. The buffer spring can buffer when the pushing mechanism 19 and the material tube come into contact, preventing the material tube from being damaged due to excessive rigid contact between the material tube and the pushing mechanism 19.
[0027] In actual use, the staff places the tubes into the feeding trough 6 in sequence. The bottom transfer plate 16 of the tube, together with the tube groove, linear bearing 17, transfer plate 16 and transfer cylinder 15, can realize the back and forth movement of the tubes in the tube groove. At the same time, since the tube groove on the transfer plate 16 is the same thickness as the tube, before the transfer plate 16 moves the tube, the tube distribution mechanism will raise the second tube. With the cooperation of the baffles on both sides of the feeding trough 6, the tubes can be moved in sequence, which can prevent the tubes from interfering with each other. Then the tube pushing mechanism 19 can push the tube to the position of the linear guide rail 12. The tube pressing cylinder 11, together with the tube pressing block 10, can limit the tube. At this time, the tube lifting cylinder 9 closes, and the tube will slide down into the track by gravity. After all the products in the tube have slid down, the tube lifting cylinder 9 opens, and the tube falls down. Then, the transfer plate 16 repeats the operation. At this time, the empty tube will be pushed out and will slide into the storage box 8, which is convenient for the staff to collect the empty tubes.

For those skilled in the art, all applications utilizing the concept of this application are protected as long as various variations are within the spirit and scope of this application as defined and determined by the appended claims.
