Detailed Implementation

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "horizontal (X)", "longitudinal (Y)", "vertical (Z)", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features. Thus, the use of "first" and "second" to define a feature may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "several" or "a number" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0020] See the attached drawings. The automatic copper sleeve feeding mechanism described in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a conveying assembly, a guiding assembly, and a cylinder pushing assembly. The conveying assembly includes a transmission belt 2 and a drive mechanism that drives the transmission belt. The transmission belt 2 is horizontally mounted on the frame 1. The drive mechanism includes a motor 3, which is mounted below the transmission belt 2 and drives a mechanical shaft via a belt or chain, thereby driving the transmission belt 2.

[0021] The guiding assembly includes several guide plates 4 of different specifications. Each guide plate 4 has several mounting holes 41, and any one guide plate 4 can be fixed to the frame 1 using fasteners. Each guide plate 4 has a guide groove 42. The rear end of the guide groove 42 is rectangular, with a triangular guide surface 43 in the middle, and the front end consists of an interconnected guide groove 44 and a feeding groove 45. The width of the guide groove 44 and the feeding groove 45 is adapted to the outer diameter of the copper sleeve 6. The guide plates 4 of different specifications have the same external dimensions, the difference being that the width of the guide groove 44 and the feeding groove 45 are different, meaning that each guide plate 4 can be matched with a copper sleeve 6 of one specification.

[0022] The feeding trough 45 has a cylinder mounting position 46 at one end and a feeding position 47 at the other end. The connection between the guide groove 44 and the feeding trough 45 is located between the cylinder mounting position 46 and the feeding position 47. The feeding trough 45 is equipped with a copper sleeve positioning detection sensor 48, which can be a conventional photoelectric sensor, used to detect the feeding status of the copper sleeve 6. The transmission belt 2 is located directly below the guide groove 42. The transmission belt 2 drives the copper sleeve 6 to move forward from the rear end of the guide groove 42 until it passes through the guide groove 44 and enters the feeding trough 45.

[0023] The guide groove 42 is widest at its rear end and can be used to place several copper sleeves 6. The triangular guide surface 43 in the middle can guide and adjust the position of the copper sleeves 6 so that the copper sleeves 6 can enter the guide groove 44 in sequence. The guide groove 44 only allows a single copper sleeve 6 to pass through, so that the copper sleeves can enter the feeding groove 45 one by one to complete the feeding.

[0024] The cylinder pushing assembly includes a pushing cylinder 51 and a pushing rod 52. The pushing rod 52 has an arc-shaped notch 53 at its front end, and a rubber pad is provided at the notch. The arc-shaped notch at the front end of the pushing rod 52 conforms to the shape of the copper sleeve when pushing, and the rubber pad prevents scratching the copper sleeve. The pushing cylinder 51 is mounted on the cylinder mounting position 46 at the front end of the guide plate 4, and the pushing rod 52 is positioned opposite the loading position 47.

[0025] When using:

[0026] 1) Place the copper sleeve 6 on the transmission belt 2, located at the rear end of the guide groove 42. A large number of copper sleeves 6 can be placed vertically on the transmission belt 2. Start the motor 3, and the motor 3 will drive the transmission belt 2 to rotate, causing the copper sleeves 6 to move forward with the transmission belt 2. Adjust the feeding speed of the transmission belt 2 by adjusting the speed of the motor 3 according to actual production needs.

[0027] 2) When the copper sleeve 6 moves to the middle section of the guide groove 42, under the guidance of the triangular guide surface 43, the copper sleeve 6 moves along the predetermined route, gradually aligns and enters the guide groove 44, and moves to the upper material groove 45.

[0028] 3) When the copper sleeve 6 reaches the feeding trough 45, the copper sleeve positioning sensor 48 detects that the copper sleeve 6 has arrived. The pusher cylinder 51 extends its piston rod, driving the pusher rod 52 to accurately push the copper sleeve 6 to the feeding position 47, completing the feeding process of one copper sleeve 6. This facilitates the robot arm in the next process to grab the copper sleeve. Afterwards, the pusher rod 52 retracts, waiting for the next copper sleeve 6 to arrive, repeating the above process to achieve continuous automatic feeding of copper sleeves.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
