Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the pipe fitting feeding device provided in this application embodiment includes a material picking and rotating assembly 109, a direction rotating assembly 113, a material picking and transferring assembly 117, a material distributing assembly 100, and a feeding channel 101 for conveying pipe fittings 107; the material distributing assembly 100 includes a multi-channel integrated block 103, on which at least two parallel and spaced feeding channels 104 are provided; the multi-channel integrated block 103 is driven to move so that a pre-selected feeding channel 104 is connected to the feeding channel 101;

[0031] The material-grabbing rotating assembly 109 is arranged between the material-distributing assembly 100 and the direction-rotating assembly 113. The material-grabbing rotating assembly 109 grabs the pipe 107 at the end of the feeding channel 104 away from the feeding channel 101 and moves the pipe 107 to the side close to the direction-rotating assembly 113. The direction-rotating assembly 113 is used to calibrate the position of the pipe 107. The material-grabbing and transferring assembly 117 is located above the direction-rotating assembly 113 and is used to grab the pipe 107 at the material-grabbing rotating assembly 109 and the direction-rotating assembly 113.

[0032] Specifically, the material distribution component 100 includes a misalignment drive module 102 and a multi-channel integrated block 103; the multi-channel integrated block 103 is provided with at least two parallel and spaced feeding channels 104, and the feeding channels 104 and the feeding channel 101 both extend along the first direction X; the multi-channel integrated block 103 is close to the discharge port of the feeding channel 101, and the misalignment drive module 102 drives the multi-channel integrated block 103 to move along the second direction Y, so that one of the feeding channels 104 is located at the feeding position and connected to the feeding channel 101; wherein, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0033] It should be noted that the misalignment drive module 102 is responsible for driving the multi-channel integrated block 103 to move, so as to adjust the position of different feeding channels 104. The multi-channel integrated block 103 is provided with at least two parallel and spaced feeding channels 104.

[0034] For example, the multi-channel integrated block 103 is provided with two or three parallel and spaced-apart feeding channels 104. It should be noted that these feeding channels 104 are used to place pipe fittings 107 of different sizes and specifications. For example, when there are three feeding channels 104, the first feeding channel 104 holds large-diameter pipe fittings 107, the second feeding channel 104 holds medium-diameter pipe fittings 107, and the third feeding channel 104 holds small-diameter pipe fittings 107. When a pipe fitting 107 is located within a feeding channel 104, the axial direction of the pipe fitting 107 is aligned with the extending direction of the feeding channel 104.

[0035] All loading channels 104 and feeding channels 101 extend along a first direction X, which is perpendicular to a second direction Y. This means that when a loading channel 104 needs to be selected, the multi-channel integrated block 103 will move along a second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X, so that the predetermined loading channel 104 is aligned with the discharge port of the feeding channel 101.

[0036] In other words, regardless of the size or specification of the pipe fitting 107 placed in the feeding channel 101, the operation of the misalignment drive module 102 can selectively place different feeding channels 104 in the feeding position, thereby realizing the automatic switching and feeding of pipe fittings 107 of different specifications. Among them, the feeding channel 101 can be a direct vibration channel.

[0037] The beneficial effects that the embodiments of this application can produce are as follows:

[0038] The pipe fitting 107 feeding device of this application embodiment can improve the scope of application. Since the design of the multi-channel integrated block 103 allows multiple pipe fittings 107 of different sizes and specifications to be accommodated at the same time, the device can adapt to more types of pipe fittings 107 without frequent replacement of structural components.

[0039] The embodiments of this application significantly improve the level of automation. They use a misalignment drive module 102 to drive the multi-channel integrated block 103 to perform position switching, thereby realizing the automatic switching and feeding of pipe fittings 107 of different specifications, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving the automation level of the production line.

[0040] The embodiments of this application can effectively improve the production efficiency of needle-free injectors, avoiding downtime caused by manual replacement of structural components and greatly improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the fast and accurate feeding process also helps reduce error rates, further ensuring the continuity and stability of production.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in one optional implementation, the material distribution assembly 100 includes a material blocking drive module 105 and a front baffle 106; the front baffle 106 is arranged at the end of the feeding channel 104 away from the feeding channel 101, the material blocking drive module 105 drives the front baffle 106 to approach the feeding channel 104 at the feeding position, and the front baffle 106 abuts against the first end of the pipe 107 in the feeding channel 104.

[0042] The pipe feeding device provided in this application embodiment can block and position the pipe 107 at the feeding position, thereby improving the positional accuracy of the pipe 107 at the feeding position and ensuring the consistency of the position of each pipe 107, so that the gripping mechanism can perform accurate gripping and effectively reduce the failure rate.

[0043] Among them, reference Figure 3As shown, the material distribution assembly 100 also includes a rear baffle 108; the rear baffle 108 is driven to approach the feeding channel 104 at the feeding position, so that the rear baffle 108 abuts against the second end of the pipe 107 in the feeding channel 104.

[0044] It should be noted that the multi-channel integrated block 103 is equipped with a position detection module. When the pipe 107 reaches the feeding position, it is used to detect the position of the pipe 107 at the feeding position so that the front baffle 106 and the rear baffle 108 can position the pipe 107, improve the stability of the pipe 107, and facilitate the material picking and rotating assembly 109 to accurately pick up the pipe 107.

[0045] The material blocking drive module 105 can drive the front baffle 106 to move vertically, perpendicular to the first direction X, so that the front baffle 106 approaches the feeding position and blocks the front end of the pipe 107. The rear baffle 108 is also driven to move vertically, so that the rear baffle 108 inserts into the feeding channel 104 to separate the front and rear pipes 107.

[0046] It should be noted that the distance between the front baffle 106 and the rear baffle 108 can be equal to or less than the actual length of the pipe 107 to ensure that the pipe 107 is precisely fixed within the feed channel 104. When the distance between the front baffle 106 and the rear baffle 108 is less than the actual length of the pipe 107, a portion of the structure at the end of the pipe 107 can be inserted into the front baffle 106. Those skilled in the art can configure this as needed, and no special limitations are made here.

[0047] This embodiment of the application improves positioning accuracy. Specifically, the front baffle 106 and the rear baffle 108 work together to firmly fix the pipe 107 within the feeding channel 104, ensuring its accurate position. This not only helps prevent the pipe 107 from moving or tilting during transportation but also provides a stable positioning basis for subsequent operations. Simultaneously, the presence of the position detection module allows the system to detect the position of the pipe 107, ensuring it is in the optimal gripping position, which facilitates more precise gripping actions by the material-grabbing rotating assembly 109.

[0048] The embodiments of this application can increase the stability of the pipe fitting 107. The design of the front and rear baffles 108 enables the pipe fitting 107 to be effectively clamped at the feeding position, reducing the positional displacement caused by vibration or other external factors, and enhancing the stability of the entire system.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, as an optional implementation, it also includes a material-grabbing rotating assembly 109; the material-grabbing rotating assembly 109 includes a first sliding table 110 and a first gripper 111; the first sliding table 110 is arranged along the same direction as the feed channel 101, and the first gripper 111 is driven to move closer to or away from the loading position on the first sliding table 110; the first gripper 111 is located at the end closer to the loading position, and the first gripper 111 grips the tube 107.

[0050] It should be noted that the arrangement path of the first sliding table 110 in this embodiment is consistent with the extension direction of the feeding channel 101, ensuring that the first gripper 111 can move along the direction of the feeding channel 101.

[0051] The first gripper 111 is mounted on the first sliding table 110 and can move along the first sliding table 110 under the action of the driving device, moving closer to or away from the loading position. When it is necessary to grip the pipe 107, the first gripper 111 will move to the end closer to the loading position to perform the gripping action.

[0052] The design of the first sliding table 110 and the first gripping component 111 in this embodiment enables the gripping mechanism to move flexibly along the extension direction of the feeding channel 101, thereby quickly and accurately positioning the pipe 107 to be gripped, improving the efficiency of the entire gripping process.

[0053] This design in the embodiments of this application allows the rotating material handling assembly 109 to directly transport the pipe 107 along the feed channel 101 to the next processing step after the gripping is completed, without the need for additional adjustment of direction or position, which simplifies the workflow and improves the smoothness and efficiency of the overall production line.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, as an optional implementation, it also includes a direction rotation assembly 113; the direction rotation assembly 113 includes a transfer device 114; the transfer device 114 is provided with a sleeve 115 extending along the third direction Z, and a pipe fitting 107 is inserted into the sleeve 115 for temporary placement of the pipe fitting 107; the material picking rotation assembly 109 also includes a first rotation drive module 112. When the first gripper 111 is located at the end away from the loading position, the first rotation drive module 112 drives the first gripper 111 to rotate around the second direction Y, so that the pipe fitting 107 on the first gripper 111 is placed along the third direction Z; the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0055] It should be noted that the first direction X and the second direction Y in this application can be understood as two mutually perpendicular directions on a horizontal plane, and the third direction Z can be understood as a vertical direction.

[0056] It should be noted that the sleeve 115 on the intermediate transfer device 114 can perform position correction on the pipe 107 gripped by the first clamping member 111, further improving the positional accuracy of the pipe 107. In addition, the above arrangement allows both the pipe 107 on the intermediate transfer device 114 and the pipe 107 on the first clamping member 111 to be placed vertically, facilitating simultaneous gripping of both pipes 107 by the material handling and transfer assembly 117, thus improving operational efficiency.

[0057] The embodiments of this application can improve the positional accuracy of the pipe fitting 107. The sleeve 115 design on the intermediate transfer tool 114 can perform secondary correction on the pipe fitting 107, ensuring high-precision positioning of the pipe fitting 107 in the final placement position and reducing subsequent operation errors caused by inaccurate initial positioning.

[0058] This embodiment of the application utilizes the first rotary drive module 112 to convert the pipe fitting 107 from a horizontal to a vertical orientation, enabling the equipment to flexibly handle material feeding requirements in different directions and enhancing the system's adaptability and versatility. Furthermore, since the pipe fitting 107 is adjusted to a vertical position, the material handling and transfer component 117 can simultaneously grasp pipe fittings 107 in two positions, simplifying the operation steps and significantly improving the efficiency of the entire production process.

[0059] Reference Figure 5 As shown, as an optional implementation, it also includes a material handling and transfer assembly 117; the material handling and transfer assembly 117 includes a moving mechanism 118 and a mounting platform 119 disposed on the moving mechanism 118, and a second clamping member 120 and a third clamping member 121 arranged side by side on the mounting platform 119; the moving mechanism 118 drives the mounting platform 119 to approach the intermediate transfer device 114, the second clamping member 120 grabs the pipe fitting 107 on the intermediate transfer device 114, and at the same time the third clamping member 121 grabs the pipe fitting 107 on the first clamping member 111.

[0060] In this embodiment, two grippers are used to grip the pipe fittings 107 located at different positions. Specifically, the second gripper 120 grips the pipe fitting 107 on the intermediate transfer fixture 114, while the third gripper 121 grips the pipe fitting 107 on the first gripper 111. In subsequent actions, the mounting platform 119 moves vertically, the second gripper 120 separates the pipe fitting 107 from the intermediate transfer fixture 114, and the third gripper 121 separates the pipe fitting 107 from the first gripper 111. The mounting platform 119 moves horizontally, aligning the pipe fitting 107 gripped by the third gripper 121 with the sleeve 115 on the intermediate transfer fixture 114, and moves vertically downward to place the pipe fitting 107 inside the sleeve 115 of the intermediate transfer fixture 114. Then, the mounting platform 119 moves vertically upward and then horizontally to move the pipe fitting 107 clamped by the second clamping component 120 to the designated position for subsequent assembly.

[0061] The moving mechanism 118 includes a second sliding table 122 arranged in the first direction X and a third sliding table 123 arranged in the third direction Z; the mounting table 119 is disposed on the third sliding table 123, the third sliding table 123 is driven to move in the first direction X on the second sliding table 122, and the mounting table 119 is driven to move in the third direction Z on the third sliding table 123.

[0062] It should be noted that, by using the second gripper 120 and the third gripper 121 simultaneously, the gripping task of two pipe fittings 107 at different positions can be completed in one movement, which greatly improves the gripping efficiency.

[0063] Because the mounting platform 119 is equipped with two clamping components arranged side by side, their relative positions can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to the gripping requirements of pipe fittings 107 of different specifications or types, thus enhancing the flexibility of the system. The moving mechanism 118 of this embodiment can accurately bring the mounting platform 119 to the designated position, so that the second clamping component 120 and the third clamping component 121 can accurately perform gripping actions, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire production process.

[0064] The above design reduces the need for manual intervention and realizes a fully automated process from positioning and calibrating the pipe fitting 107 to final gripping, significantly improving the overall automation level and work efficiency of the production line.

[0065] As an optional implementation, both the second clamping member 120 and the third clamping member 121 include clamping members; the bottom of the clamping member is inserted into the opening of the pipe 107, so that the two sides of the clamping member abut against the inner wall of the pipe 107.

[0066] It should be noted that the upper end of the pipe fitting 107 has an opening, and both the second clamping member 120 and the third clamping member 121 include clamping members that can enter the pipe fitting 107 through the opening.

[0067] For example, the clamping element can be a V-shaped clamping element or a semi-circular clamping element. Since the distance between the two sides of the clamping element gradually increases, it can achieve contact with the inner wall of the pipe fitting 107 of different diameters, thus completing a reliable gripping.

[0068] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, as an optional implementation, it also includes a vision detection component 124, which is used to acquire the angle deflection information of the pipe fitting 107 on the intermediate transfer device 114; the direction rotation component 113 also includes a second rotation drive module 116; according to the angle deflection information, the second rotation drive module 116 drives the intermediate transfer device 114 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the pipe fitting 107.

[0069] This embodiment of the application acquires the angular deflection information of the pipe fitting 107 in real time through the vision inspection component 124, and uses the second rotation drive module 116 to precisely adjust the angle of the pipe fitting 107 based on this information. This ensures the angular accuracy of the pipe fitting 107 during final placement and reduces assembly or subsequent processing problems caused by angular deviations. In addition, accurate angle adjustment helps improve the assembly quality and consistency of the product, reduces the defect rate caused by angular errors, and thus improves the overall production quality.

[0070] The embodiments of this application introduce visual inspection technology, which enables the entire system to have self-inspection and correction capabilities, improves the system's intelligence level, and enables it to automatically adapt to pipe fittings 107 of different shapes and sizes, thereby enhancing the system's flexibility and applicability.

[0071] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the embodiments of this application also include a feeding device 200, which includes a feeding frame 201, a feeding channel 202 and a power transmission mechanism 203. The power transmission mechanism 203 is installed on the feeding frame 201 and connected to the feeding channel 202, and is configured to drive the feeding channel 202 to move so that the material in the feeding channel 202 moves to the distributing component 100.

[0072] Reference Figure 6 A feeding tray 204 is fixed on the feeding frame 201. The feeding channel 202 has an inlet end and an outlet end. The feeding tray 204 is located above the inlet end of the feeding channel 202 and is connected to one side of the inlet end of the feeding channel 202 via a downwardly inclined plate 205. In this optional embodiment, by placing the feeding tray 204 above the inlet end of the feeding channel 202 and connecting it using the downwardly inclined plate 205, the material can naturally slide into the feeding channel 202 under the action of gravity, ensuring a smooth transition of material from the feeding tray 204 to the feeding channel 202 and reducing the risk of jamming or blockage. This design utilizes gravity and the guiding function of the inclined plate 205 to achieve efficient material transfer without the need for an additional power unit, reducing system complexity and maintenance costs, and improving production efficiency.
