Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tube handling machines, and in particular to a tube handling machine leakage tube collection mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A bobbin sorting machine is a textile collective doffing auxiliary device, mainly used to straighten and separate the large and small ends of bobbins before spinning, and arrange them in a storage bin, preparing them for the next step of positioning the bobbins at the spinning position. It is one of the special devices for improving the automation level and reducing labor in spinning frames. In use, workers pour empty bobbins into the machine's bin before spinning. The bobbins are conveyed to the internal sorting mechanism via a conveyor mechanism, where they are straightened according to their large and small ends, and then automatically placed into the storage bin.
[0003] Because the diameters of the two ends of the bobbin are different, existing bobbin sorting machines use the difference in their rolling speed to separate them, thus ensuring that the bobbin enters the bobbin box. However, in actual use, it has been found that the bobbins fall into the storage bin only after multiple collisions during their descent. This results in a large impact on the bobbins. Therefore, in long-term use, the continuous impacts not only cause the bobbins and bobbin boxes to deform easily, affecting the service life of the bobbins and equipment, but also generate a lot of noise in the workshop, affecting the working environment of the workers.
[0004] Existing technologies, such as the tube sorting machine for spinning bobbins described in CN202220379047.3, have solved the corresponding problems. However, due to the obvious structural gap between the hopper and the outer side of the lifting belt, a large number of bobbins fall through this gap during the sorting process. This not only increases the workload of manual collection but also frequently causes bobbins to get stuck in mechanical gaps, leading to equipment failure. At the same time, due to the lack of an effective bobbin collection device, the scattered bobbins not only affect the cleanliness of the workshop environment but also frequently cause equipment downtime for maintenance, seriously affecting production efficiency. Furthermore, existing solutions often require complex modifications to the main structure of the tube sorting machine, resulting in high implementation costs and making it difficult to promote and apply them on existing equipment.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", and "outer" are 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0026] A tube storage mechanism for a tube handling machine, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a tube sorting machine body, which is equipped with a feeding hopper 1, a lifting belt 2, a guiding mechanism 3, a discharging hopper 4, and a tube collector 5. The lifting belt 2 is vertically arranged inside the feeding hopper 1, the guiding mechanism 3 is inclinedly arranged above the lifting belt 2, the discharging hopper 4 is arranged outside the lifting belt 2, and the tube collector 5 is arranged at the bottom of the discharging position of the discharging hopper 4. The lifting belt 2 drives the tubes inside the feeding hopper 1 to rise, and after being guided by the guiding mechanism 3, they fall into the discharging hopper 4. A tube collection and guiding mechanism 6 is arranged below the gap between the discharging hopper 4 and the outside of the lifting belt 2.
[0027] Specifically, by adding a tube collection and guiding mechanism 6 to the traditional tube sorting machine, the gap between the hopper 4 and the outer side of the lifting belt 2 is filled. The guiding mechanism 3 adopts an inclined design and works with the lifting belt 2 to form a continuous flow channel. The tube collection and guiding mechanism 6 is located directly below the area where tubes are prone to falling, forming an effective interception. This solves the problem of tubes falling from the gaps in the traditional tube sorting machine, ensuring that all tubes can be effectively collected into the tube collector 5. This reduces the workload of manually picking up fallen tubes and prevents tubes from getting stuck in mechanical gaps and causing equipment failure. It also reduces the frequency of downtime maintenance caused by tubes falling. This solution does not change the main structure of the original tube sorting machine, is easy to install, can be directly added to existing equipment, and has low manufacturing cost, making it easy to promote and apply.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-6As shown, a tube storage box 7 is provided below the tube storage and guiding mechanism 6.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the tube receiving and guiding mechanism 6 is inclined along the length of the tube receiving box 7 below. The tube receiving and guiding mechanism 6 receives the tube through the gap between the hopper 4 and the outer side of the lifting belt 2 and tilts it into the corresponding tube receiving box 7 below.
[0030] Specifically, the guide mechanism 6 for collecting and guiding the sluice tubes adopts an inclined guide design, forming a natural sliding channel with the collection box 7. The guide mechanism 6 extends to the entrance of the sluice tube collection box 7, forming a complete collection path, thereby realizing the automatic centralized collection of fallen sluice tubes without manual intervention. The sluice tube collection box 7 is designed as a drawer or detachable type for easy regular cleaning. The sluice tube collection box 7 is located on the outside of the equipment, making it convenient for operators to observe and retrieve. It can be seamlessly connected with existing tube sorting machines, and the modification is simple. During maintenance, only the collection box 7 needs to be cleaned or replaced, without affecting the operation of the main unit.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the drain tube receiving and guiding mechanism 6 is inclined downwards outwards along its own width direction.
[0032] Specifically, the drain tube collection and guiding mechanism 6 is designed to tilt outwards and downwards along its width, allowing fallen drain tubes to slide naturally outwards, preventing them from accumulating inside the equipment. This ensures that the drain tubes can smoothly slide into the drain tube collection box 7 below without any jamming. The drain tubes move automatically outwards under gravity, requiring no additional power unit, which simplifies the structure and improves reliability. At the same time, the outward tilting design allows operators to easily observe the drain tube collection process and clean the collection box promptly.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the lower part of the tube receiving and guiding mechanism 6 is provided with a tube receiving plate 6-1, a fixed flange 6-2 on one side, and a blocking and guiding flange 6-3 on the corresponding side.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the fixed flange 6-2 of the tube collecting and guiding mechanism 6 is inclined and attached to the tube handling machine body.
[0035] Specifically, the design of the outward-flaring tube receiving edge expands the receiving range of the guiding mechanism, enabling more effective capture of tubes falling from all directions. The inward-sloping inner plate, fitting snugly against the tube handling machine body, ensures a tight connection with the equipment while creating a smooth transition surface, preventing tubes from getting stuck in gaps. The outward-flaring blocking guide edge forms a trumpet-shaped receiving structure, significantly improving the capture rate of fallen tubes. The design of the inward-sloping plate allows the tubes to slide naturally towards the center of the guiding mechanism and then slide down the inclined surface into the storage box, making the entire process smooth and unobstructed. The combination of the outward-flaring receiving edge and the inward-sloping plate forms a complete leak-proof system that can intercept almost all tubes falling from gaps. The inclined inner plate eliminates the right-angle gap between itself and the equipment body, fundamentally solving the problem of tubes falling into gaps.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the guide mechanism 3 has guide grooves on both sides that are higher than the large end of the tube but smaller than the small end of the tube. The guide mechanism 3 is located on the top of the tube sorting machine body and is inclined above the lifting path of the lifting belt 2.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment of the above, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the upper edge of the hopper 4 is provided with protrusions 4-1 on both sides, and the protrusions 4-1 are located on the path of the cylinder falling into the hopper 4 within the lifting belt 2.
[0038] Specifically, the height setting of the guide groove utilizes the difference between the large and small ends of the tube to achieve automatic correction, pushing the large end of the tube towards the middle of the lifting belt 2, and the protrusions on both sides of the upper edge of the hopper 4 touch the small end of the tube in advance, so that the large end of the tube falls downwards.
[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
