[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] This utility model provides an embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a cylindrical sleeve feeding device includes a base 1 and a vibrating seat 2. The vibrating seat 2 is connected to the base 1 via an elastic element. A vibration motor is installed inside the vibrating seat 2, driving the vibrating seat 2 to vibrate. Two parallel feeding guide rods 3 are provided on the vibrating seat 2. The feeding guide rods 3 are straight rods and form an angle with the horizontal plane. The higher end of the feeding guide rod 3 is the inlet end, and the lower end is the outlet end. During vibration, the sleeve on the feeding guide rod 3 can move towards the lower end. The moving base 2 is connected to a limiting mechanism 4 located above the feeding guide rod 3 to prevent the sleeve from falling off the feeding guide rod 3 during vibration. The vibrating base 2 is connected to a feeding hopper 5 near the higher side of the feeding guide rod 3. The vibrating base 2 is provided with a material detection mechanism 6 located on the lower side of the feeding guide rod 3. The material detection mechanism 6 is an infrared sensor, and its transmitting end and receiving end are respectively set on the limiting mechanism 4 and the vibrating base 2. The base 1 is provided with a baffle 7 near the lower side of the feeding guide rod 3.

[0020] When the sleeve moves to the discharge end and is blocked by the baffle 7, the sleeve blocks the material detection mechanism 6. If the material at the discharge end has not been taken, the vibrating motor can stop working. When the material at the discharge end is taken, the material detection mechanism 6 receives the signal again, and the vibrating motor starts to continue conveying the material to the discharge end.

[0021] In order to accommodate the limited operation of the sleeve within a certain diameter range, in a further embodiment, the limiting mechanism 4 includes a bracket 401 fixedly connected to the vibrating seat 2, an adjustment component 410 disposed on the bracket 401, and a limiting rod 402 connected to the adjustment component 410. The limiting rod 402 is located between and above the two feeding guide rods 3, and the height of the limiting rod 402 can be adjusted by the adjustment component 410.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the bracket 401 is provided with a horizontal support plate 403. The adjustment assembly 410 includes a guide rod 411 that vertically penetrates the support plate 403 and slides with it, a transmission plate 412 that is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rod 411, and a support rod 413 that is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 411. The support rod 413 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 402. The support plate 403 is provided with a screw hole and a first adjusting bolt 414 is threaded on it. The first adjusting bolt 414 is rotatably connected to the transmission plate 412.

[0023] To facilitate the material entering between the two feeding guide rods 3 one by one, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in a further embodiment, the feeding hopper 5 is provided with a guide plate 501 parallel to the two feeding guide rods 3 at one end near the feeding guide rod 3. The guide plate 501 is rotatably connected to the adjusting plates 502 located on both sides at one end near the feeding hopper 5. The guide plate 501 is fixedly provided with a base 503 at one end away from the feeding hopper 5. The base 503 is provided with a screw hole and a second adjusting bolt 504 is threaded on it. The second adjusting bolt 504 is movably connected to the adjusting plate 502 through a connecting rod 505.

[0024] The end of the second adjusting bolt 504 is coaxially rotatably connected to a rotating head. The rotating head is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 505, and the other end of the connecting rod 505 is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate 502. The rotation axis of the rotating head is horizontal, and the rotation axis of the connecting rod 505 is vertical.

[0025] By rotating the second adjusting bolt 504, the distance between the two adjusting plates 502 near the end of the feeding guide rod 3 can be changed, just enough to allow a sleeve to pass through;

[0026] The limiting rod 402 extends above the guide plate 501, and restricts the sleeve in advance to prevent it from falling off before the sleeve moves to the two feeding guide rods 3;

[0027] In order to facilitate the material blocking effect of sleeves of different lengths, in a further embodiment, the width of the baffle 7 is not greater than the distance between the two feeding guide rods 3 and is movably mounted on the base 1. The feeding guide rods 3 extend to the outside of the vibrating seat 2. The base 1 is provided with a telescopic component 701 facing the vibrating seat 2. The telescopic component 701 is connected to the baffle 7.

[0028] In this embodiment, the telescopic component 701 is a telescopic cylinder, and the distance between the baffle 7 and the material detection mechanism 6 can be adjusted by the telescopic component 701;

[0029] The base 1 is provided with a mounting groove 101, and the bottom of the vibration seat 2 extends into the mounting groove 101 and is connected to the base 1 through the elastic member.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
