Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a forming device for a combination of firework interval-type irregular tube arrays. Background Technology

[0002] Combination fireworks typically consist of several paper firework tubes arranged in a single row, called a tube array. The tubes are then perforated and fitted with fuses; ignition holes are drilled into each tube, and fuses are inserted into these holes, connecting the tubes to form a ignition link. Currently, most tube arrays are vertical, with the tubes arranged parallel to each other. Several vertical tube arrays are then stacked and assembled into a block (called a "combination firework"), resulting in a vertical combination firework. The firework tubes contain propellant and effect components, ignited by the fuse. The equipment used to complete this assembly is commonly referred to in the industry as a "combination firework machine" or "firework assembly machine," and it is a relatively mature and widely used type of fireworks machinery.

[0003] However, besides upright combination fireworks, existing products also include irregularly shaped combination fireworks, which are fireworks products assembled from stacked irregularly shaped tubes. In this invention, the end of the upright or irregularly shaped tube array near the perforated insertion part is called the lower end of the tube array or fireworks tube, and the end away from the perforated insertion part is called the upper end of the tube array or fireworks tube. The arrangement structure of the fireworks tubes in the irregularly shaped tube array is such as fan-shaped, W-shaped, V-shaped, left-leaning, right-leaning, five-finger-shaped, etc.; unlike the upright tube array, the fireworks tubes in the irregularly shaped tube array have a certain tilt angle (launch deflection angle) between each other, the lower ends of each fireworks tube are close together, and there is a gap between the upper ends of adjacent fireworks tubes. Therefore, current assembly equipment can only complete the production of upright combination fireworks and cannot process irregularly shaped fireworks products.

[0004] To achieve the processing of irregularly shaped fireworks products, we have conducted extensive research and development over the past two years. Currently published Chinese patent documents include: CN221527524U, published on August 13, 2024, entitled "A Forming Device for Irregularly Shaped Tubes for Firework Assembly"; CN116929155A, published on October 24, 2023, entitled "An Irregularly Shaped Tube Forming Device for Irregularly Shaped Combined Fireworks"; and CN116907283A, published on October 20, 2023, entitled "An Irregularly Shaped Tube Forming Equipment for Irregularly Shaped Combined Fireworks," etc. This utility model cites the aforementioned patent documents in full.

[0005] However, the previously developed irregular-shaped tube bar forming equipment was all designed for mainstream combination fireworks products, where the lower ends of the tubes in the tube bar were close together without gaps. There is also a relatively niche combination fireworks product on the market, mainly sold to the North American market; its structure is described below.Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the main feature of this tube array is the spacing between the lower ends of each firework tube 1001. The firework tubes are arranged in a fan shape, but could also be arranged in a W-shape, V-shape, left-leaning shape, right-leaning shape, or five-finger shape. A ignition fuse 1002 is installed between each firework tube 1001, and fireproof paper 1003 can be installed between the tube arrays to prevent crossfire. In this invention, this type of tube array is referred to as an interval-type irregular tube array. Currently, there is a lack of equipment capable of processing interval-type irregular tube arrays. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned drawbacks, the technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a device capable of processing intermittently shaped firework tubes. The technical solution adopted by this invention is a forming device for intermittently shaped firework tubes, comprising a progressively lifting receiving platform; characterized in that several guide tube components are arranged above the receiving platform, each guide tube component having a cavity for constraining a single firework tube, a limiting component at the front end of the cavity blocking the front end of the tube, and the lower part of the cavity being open; a telescopic support plate is provided between the guide tube components and the receiving platform; each firework tube is fed into the cavity of its respective guide tube component, and the support plate supports the lower side of each firework tube when extended; the guide tube components are hinged to a frame, and a pitch-changing mechanism connects to and drives the guide tube components to swing around the hinge, with each firework tube following the swing of the guide tube components to form the shaped tube array.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During feeding, the support plate extends, and the lower side of the fed firework tube is supported by the support plate, while the left and right sides are constrained by the cavities of the guide tube components, forming a dynamic firework tube positioning system; when the variable pitch mechanism drives the guide tube components to swing around the hinge, each firework tube follows the swing of the guide tube components to form a shaped tube array; then the support plate retracts, the shaped tube array is received by the receiving platform, the receiving platform descends one position, the support plate extends again to feed, and the above process is repeated to process the second shaped tube array, then the support plate retracts again, and the second shaped tube array is stacked and glued on top of the first shaped tube array, and so on until a combined firework is formed. Thus, the forming process of the interval shaped tube array is reliably completed.

[0008] In one embodiment, the variable pitch mechanism includes a transmission plate with a plurality of guide grooves, each guide groove corresponding to the arrangement structure of each firework tube in the irregular tube row; each guide groove is provided with a follower; the transmission plate drive member drives the transmission plate to reciprocate linearly; each guide tube is connected to the follower; the transmission plate drives the guide tube to swing around the hinge part through the guide grooves and the follower.

A sliding drive member drives each first slide block to reciprocate along the first slide rail, causing each first slide block to move closer or further apart. The limiting guide posts limit the separation distance between adjacent first slide blocks. The length of the separation distance is set in accordance with the inter-cylinder spacing of the irregularly shaped cylinder. The first slide blocks are connected to and drive the guide cylinder to swing around the hinge.

[0013] In one embodiment, the pitch-changing mechanism includes a plurality of second slide blocks mounted on a second slide rail. Each second slide block is connected to a connecting belt via a connection point, and the spacing between each connection point corresponds to the inter-cylinder spacing at the upper end of the irregular-shaped cylinder. The connecting belt is provided with a traction drive component, which drives each second slide block to reciprocate along the second slide rail via the connecting belt, causing each second slide block to move closer together or apart. The spacing between each connection point on the connecting belt limits the separation distance between two adjacent second slide blocks. The second slide blocks connect to and drive the guide cylinder component to swing around the hinge.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting component is an arc-shaped positioning plate or a rod.

[0015] Preferably, the guide cylinder includes a base, and the cavity is formed between the limiting bodies on both sides below the base.

[0044] Example 1: See Appendix Figure 1-12 This illustrates a specific structure of the present invention. In this work scenario, the forming device for the intermittent irregular-shaped tube array of combined fireworks is installed on the assembly machine. The irregular-shaped tube array processed in this example is a fan-shaped tube array.

[0045] The assembly machine includes a hopper 1004. Firework tubes 1001 stored in the hopper 1004 are distributed to various distribution troughs 1005. The fireworks tubes 1001 in each distribution trough 1005 are connected end to end and pushed to the forming device by a tube pusher 1006. During the pushing process, the ignition fuse 1002 is installed by a punching and inserting device 1007, and glue is applied to the fireworks tubes 1001 by a gluing device 1008. In the forming device, the fireworks tubes are processed into irregularly shaped tube arrays. Several irregularly shaped tube arrays are stacked to form a block 1009, which is then pushed to the conveying device 1011 by a tube pusher 1010 for delivery.

[0046] The example also includes a fireproof paper roll 1012 and its paper feeding and cutting mechanism 1013. The cutting mechanism 1013 cuts easy-tear lines on the paper strip, which is then fed onto the irregularly shaped tube and glued to the firework tube. As the irregularly shaped tube descends, it tears the easy-tear lines, and the paper strip adhering to the tube constitutes the fireproof paper 1003. Except for the forming of the spaced irregularly shaped tube, the above process utilizes mature technologies from firework assembly machines and will not be elaborated further.

[0047] The forming device includes a receiving platform 1 that rises and falls in stages. In this example, the platform motor 101 drives the receiving platform 1 to rise and fall in stages along the platform guide rail via a lead screw and nut assembly.

[0048] Several guide tube components 2 are installed above the receiving platform 1. Each guide tube component 2 has a cavity 201 that constrains a single firework tube 1001. A limiting member 3 is provided at the front end of the cavity 201 to block the front end of the tube. The lower part of the cavity 201 is open. In this example, the guide tube component 2 includes a base 202, and the cavity 201 is formed between the limiting members 203 on both sides below the base 202. The lower end of the limiting member 203 can be flush with the bottom side of the firework tube to ensure effective constraint and reliable swing. In this example, the limiting member 203 consists of six rods.

[0049] In other embodiments, the limiting body 203 may also be other cavity structures capable of constraining the side of the firework tube 1001, including but not limited to... Figure 7 The structure shown is such that the base 202 has a hinge shaft 204 and a secondary follower 205 at each end.

[0050] In this example, the limiting member 3 is a rod fixed to the base 202. In other embodiments, the limiting member 3 can also be any other structure capable of blocking the front end of the firework tube 1001. The limiting member 3 can also be separated from the guide tube 2, such as using... Figure 8 The arc-shaped positioning plate 3-1 is shown.

[0051] A support plate 4 driven by a telescopic cylinder 401 is set between the guide cylinder 2 and the receiving platform 1; each firework tube 1001 is fed into the cavity 201 of the guide cylinder 2 respectively, and the support plate 4 supports the lower front end of each firework tube 1001 when it extends; the hinge shaft 204 of the guide cylinder 2 is hinged to the frame, and the pitch mechanism is connected to and drives the guide cylinder 2 to swing around the hinge shaft 204, and each firework tube 1001 follows the swing of the guide cylinder 2 to obtain a special-shaped tube array.

[0052] In the example, the variable pitch mechanism includes a transmission plate 502 with a plurality of guide grooves 501. In the example, each guide groove 501 corresponds to the arrangement of each firework tube 1001 in the fan-shaped tube array. In other embodiments, each guide groove may also correspond to the arrangement of each firework tube in a W-shaped, V-shaped, left-leaning, right-leaning, or five-finger-shaped tube array.

[0053] Each guide groove 501 is provided with a follower 503; the drive cylinder 504 of the transmission plate 502 drives the transmission plate 502 to reciprocate linearly along the guide post 505; each guide cylinder 2 is connected to the follower 503. In the example, the pitch changing mechanism also includes several sliding seats 507 installed on the sliding guide rail 506. Each sliding seat 507 is connected to the pitch changing link 508. One end of the pitch changing link 508 is connected to the follower 503, and the other end is hinged to the auxiliary follower 205 of the guide cylinder. The transmission plate 502 drives the guide cylinder 2 to swing around the hinge axis 204 in sequence through the guide groove 501, the follower 503, the pitch changing link 508, and the auxiliary follower 205.

[0054] In the example, each guide cylinder 2 has a pressure strip 6 below its base 202. The length of the pressure strip 6 is set according to the width of the irregular cylinder. The pressure strip 6 is connected to the pressure strip drive component - the pressure strip cylinder 601, which moves up and down along the pressure strip slide rod 602.

[0055] During operation, the support plate 4 extends during feeding, and the firework tube 1001 in the material distribution trough 1005 is sent into the cavity 201. The lower front end of the firework tube 1001 is supported by the support plate 4, the lower rear end is supported by the receiving platform 1, and the left and right sides are constrained by the limiting body 203 of the cavity 201, forming a dynamic firework tube positioning system. This system makes full use of the structural characteristics of the spaced irregular tube array to constrain the firework tube without affecting the forming swing, which makes it easy to directly stack and assemble the irregular tube array after forming, and can also effectively protect the ignition fuse 1002.

[0056] When the variable pitch mechanism drives the guide cylinder 2 to swing around the hinge, each firework tube 1001 follows the swing of the guide cylinder 2 to form an irregular tube array; thus reliably completing the forming process of the interval irregular tube array.

[0057] Then the support plate 4 retracts, and the irregular cylindrical tube is received by the receiving platform 1. The paper tape that was fed into the receiving platform 1 beforehand is pasted on the lower side of the irregular cylindrical tube. The upper pressure strip 6 moves down to press down the irregular cylindrical tube and the paper tape. The receiving platform 1 descends one station. When the irregular cylindrical tube moves down, the easy-tear line is torn. The paper tape that is adhered to the irregular cylindrical tube constitutes the fireproof paper 1003.

[0058] The support plate 4 extends again for feeding, and the above process is repeated to process the second irregular cylindrical section; then the support plate 4 retracts again, and the second irregular cylindrical section is stacked and glued onto the fireproof paper 1003 of the first irregular cylindrical section, and so on until the receiving platform 1 reaches the lower limit position. The pusher 1010 pushes a block-shaped whole 1009 composed of several irregular cylindrical sections stacked together onto the conveyor 1011 for delivery. During delivery, the support cylinder 1015 is activated, supporting the cylindrical section above the block-shaped whole 1009. After the receiving platform 1 rises to receive the upper cylindrical section, the support cylinder 1015 resets.

[0059] In the example, the receiving platform 1 is provided with a front lifting guide 101 and a rear lifting guide 102, and several limiting grooves 103 are distributed on the two lifting guides corresponding to the number of firework tubes 1001 in the irregular tube array, so as to avoid the firework tubes from becoming disordered during the descent.

[0060] Example 2: See Appendix Figure 13 This presents another specific structure of the present invention. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the sliding guide rail 506, sliding seat 507, variable pitch connecting rod 508, and auxiliary follower 205 of Embodiment 1 are omitted in this example. The follower 503 within the guide groove 501 of the transmission plate 502 is directly connected to one end of the base 202. The transmission plate 502 directly drives the guide cylinder 2 to swing around the hinge shaft 204 via the guide groove 501 and the follower 503 in sequence. The transmission of the variable pitch connecting rod 508 is no longer needed. The structure is more concise and compact, but it hinders the operator from observing the operation of the device.

[0061] Example 3: See Appendix Figure 14-15 This reflects another specific structure of the present invention. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that: the guide cylinder 2 has a guide tail 206 on one side of the hinge shaft 204, and the cavity 201 on the other side of the hinge shaft 204; the guide cylinder 2 forms a lever structure with the hinge shaft 204 as the lever fulcrum; the follower 503 is connected to the guide tail 206, and the transmission plate 502 drives the guide tail 206 to swing through the guide groove 501 and the follower 503, so that the cavity 201 of the guide cylinder 2 swings around the hinge shaft 204.

[0062] Example 4: See Appendix Figure 16 This reflects another specific structure of the present invention. The difference from Embodiment 1 lies in the pitch-changing mechanism: the pitch-changing mechanism includes a rotating shaft 509, with a plurality of spiral guide grooves 510 distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 509, and a follower 503 provided in each guide groove 510; each guide cylinder 2 is connected to the follower; the rotating shaft motor 511 drives the rotating shaft 509 to reciprocate, and the rotating shaft 509 drives the guide cylinder 2 to swing around the hinge shaft 204 through the guide grooves 510 and the follower 503.

[0063] Example 5: See Appendix Figure 17 , 18This reflects another specific structure of the present invention. The difference from Embodiment 1 lies in the different pitch-changing mechanism: the pitch-changing mechanism includes several first slide blocks 513 mounted on the first slide rail 512. Two adjacent first slide blocks 513 are movably connected by a limiting guide post 514. The sliding drive component—sliding cylinder 515—drives each first slide block 513 to reciprocate along the first slide rail 512, causing each first slide block 513 to move closer or further apart. When they move closer (reset), they are sent into the firework tube 1001 into the cavity 201. When they move apart, the pitch-changing effect is achieved. The first slide blocks 513 are connected by a follower component 503 and drive the guide cylinder component 2 to swing around the hinge axis 204.

[0064] The limiting guide post 514 limits the separation distance between two adjacent first slide blocks 513, and the length of the separation distance is set in accordance with the inter-tube spacing of the irregular tube array.

[0065] In the example, among the twelve first slides 513 arranged side by side, the two central first slides 513 are fixed to the frame by connecting pieces 5131 to achieve a fan-shaped arrangement. Other irregular cylindrical arrays, such as V-shaped cylindrical arrays, W-shaped cylindrical arrays, left-leaning cylindrical arrays, right-leaning cylindrical arrays, and five-finger cylindrical arrays, can be configured as needed.

[0066] The piston rod end of the sliding cylinder 515 is connected to the end first slide block 513, and the cylinder body of the sliding cylinder 515 is connected to the beginning first slide block 513. The sliding cylinder 515 drives the first slide block 513 to move back and forth along the guide post 302 between the initial position and the working position: in the initial position, the first slide blocks 513 are relatively close together. When the sliding cylinder 515 drives the first slide blocks 513 to slide and separate from each other, the length of the limiting guide post 514 determines the maximum distance between the first slide blocks 513. When the length of the limiting guide post 514 restricts the first slide blocks 513 from continuing to slide, the working position is reached.

[0067] In this example, a single driving element is used to pull the slide block assembly connected by the limiting guide post 514; in other embodiments, two driving elements can simultaneously pull the connected slide block assembly from both sides, or other driving methods can be used to make it move back and forth along the first slide rail 512 between the initial position and the working position, so that it is arranged in a corresponding irregular cylindrical array.

[0068] Example 6: See Appendix Figure 19 , 20This reflects another specific structure of the present invention. The difference from Embodiment 1 lies in the pitch-changing mechanism: the pitch-changing mechanism includes several second slide blocks 517 mounted on the second slide rail 516, each second slide block 517 being connected to the connecting belt 519 via connection points 518, the spacing between each connection point 518 corresponding to the inter-cylinder spacing at the upper end of the irregular cylindrical array; the connecting belt 519 is provided with a traction drive component—traction cylinder 520, the traction drive component drives each second slide block 517 to reciprocate along the second slide rail 516 via the connecting belt 519, causing each second slide block 517 to move closer or further apart; the spacing between each connection point 518 on the connecting belt 519 limits the separation distance between two adjacent second slide blocks 517; the second slide blocks 517 connect to and drive the guide cylinder 2 to swing around the hinge axis 204.
