Abstract
Description
An automatic feeding and packaging machine Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of digital tube packaging equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding and packaging machine. Background Technology
[0002] The core of an LED digital tube is multiple LEDs, which are packaged on a common substrate to form specific display units, such as seven-segment or eight-segment displays. Each display unit can be controlled independently, and by combining different LED on / off states, numbers 0-9, some letters, and some special symbols can be displayed. LED digital tubes have various driving methods, including static driving and dynamic driving. In static driving, each LED has an independent driving circuit, resulting in stable display but complex circuitry. Dynamic driving, on the other hand, achieves display by rapidly scanning each display unit, utilizing the persistence of vision effect in the human eye; the circuitry is relatively simple but requires a higher scanning frequency.
[0003] Because the pins of the digital tubes need to be kept intact during packaging, they need to be inserted into pearl cotton for fixation. Currently, manual labor is commonly used to insert the digital tubes into the pearl cotton. Once a piece of pearl cotton is full of digital tubes, the entire piece of pearl cotton needs to be transferred to the packaging carton. In addition, because pearl cotton is relatively soft, it may bend during manual handling, causing the digital tubes inserted into it to fall off. This packaging method has excessively high labor costs, low efficiency, and is not conducive to the development of enterprises. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide an automatic feeding and packaging machine that can realize fully automatic pearl cotton feeding, row insertion into digital tubes and material discharge, thereby reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic feeding and packaging machine, comprising:
[0006] The workbench has a feeding station and a discharging station on one side.
[0007] The platform traversing mechanism is set on the workbench, and the workpiece platform is set on the platform traversing mechanism.

[0009] The digital tube feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder disposed on one side of the workbench and an aligning clamping mechanism disposed horizontally above the platform traversing mechanism. The aligning clamping mechanism, in conjunction with the vibratory feeder, inserts the digital tubes into the pearl cotton on the workpiece platform.
[0010] A receiving mechanism, horizontally positioned at the other end of the workbench, is used to transfer the pearl cotton on the workpiece platform to the discharge station.
[0011] Furthermore, the platform traversing mechanism includes a first linear guide rail fixed to the worktable and a first motor connected to the first linear guide rail. A first slide is connected to the first linear guide rail, and the workpiece platform is connected to the first slide. The first motor, in conjunction with the first linear guide rail, enables the workpiece platform to move back and forth, thus facilitating the transfer of pearl cotton and the loading action in conjunction with the digital tube loading mechanism.
[0012] Furthermore, at least one set of fixed flanges and one set of clamping components are provided on the workpiece platform. The clamping components include a clamping telescopic cylinder fixed to the lower end face of the workpiece platform. The clamping telescopic cylinder is connected to a clamping element, and a clamping column is provided on the clamping element. A clamping groove that mates with the clamping column is provided on the workpiece platform. This is used to position the pearl cotton, preventing the pearl cotton from shifting during the insertion of the digital tube, which could lead to the digital tube being misaligned, resulting in damage to the digital tube and affecting subsequent unloading operations.
[0013] Furthermore, the pearl cotton feeding mechanism includes a first slide rail and a first transmission cylinder fixed to the worktable. A first slider connected to the first transmission cylinder is provided on the first slide rail. A feeding bracket is fixed to the first slider. A second linear guide rail and a second motor connected to the second linear guide rail are fixed to the feeding bracket.

Through the cooperation of the first slide rail, the first transmission cylinder, the second linear guide rail, and the second motor, precise positioning of the feeding bracket and the first material transfer connector can be achieved, ensuring accurate feeding of the pearl cotton material. This enables fast and continuous feeding operations, reduces manual intervention, and improves production efficiency.
[0014] Furthermore, the first material transfer connector includes a first insertion main seat fixedly connected to the second bracket, a first insertion cylinder fixedly connected to the first insertion main seat, and a first push-out component connected to the first insertion cylinder. A first through hole is provided on the first push-out component, and a first insertion pin is provided on the first insertion main seat. The first insertion pin passes through the first through hole and extends to the bottom of the first push-out component. By driving the first push-out component with the first insertion cylinder, combined with the design of the first insertion pin, precise insertion and pushing actions can be achieved, ensuring accurate positioning of the pearl cotton material during the material transfer process. After reaching the workpiece platform, the first push-out component pushes out the pearl cotton to achieve the loading action.

A second slider connected to the second transmission cylinder is provided on the second slide rail. A receiving bracket is fixed to the second slider. A third linear guide rail and a third motor connected to the third linear guide rail are fixed to the receiving bracket. A third slide table is connected to the third linear guide rail. A third bracket is connected to the third slide table. A second material transfer connector is connected to the third bracket. Through the cooperation of the second slide rail, the second transmission cylinder, the third linear guide rail, and the third motor, precise positioning of the receiving bracket and the second material transfer connector can be achieved, ensuring accurate discharge position of the pearl cotton material. This enables fast and continuous discharge operation, reduces manual intervention, and improves production efficiency.
[0016] Furthermore, the second material transfer connector includes a second insertion main seat fixedly connected to the third bracket, a second insertion cylinder fixedly connected to the second insertion main seat, and a second push-out component connected to the second insertion cylinder. The second push-out component has a second through hole, and the second insertion pin is provided on the second insertion main seat. The second insertion pin passes through the second through hole and extends below the second push-out component. By driving the second push-out component with the second insertion cylinder, combined with the design of the second insertion pin, precise insertion and push-out actions can be achieved, ensuring accurate positioning of the pearl cotton material during the material transfer process. Upon reaching the storage station, the second push-out component pushes out the pearl cotton to achieve the material discharge action.
[0017] Furthermore, a linear vibrating feeder is also provided between the alignment clamping mechanism and the vibrating plate. A blocking assembly is provided at the end of the linear vibrating feeder. The blocking assembly includes a blocking bracket fixed to the end of the linear vibrating feeder and a blocking cylinder fixed to the blocking bracket. The blocking cylinder is connected to a blocking element. The blocking assembly, in conjunction with the linear vibrating feeder, enables quantitative input of digital tubes and, in conjunction with the alignment clamping mechanism, enables the insertion and output of a fixed number of digital tubes, effectively improving the efficiency of the packaging process.
[0018] Furthermore, the assemblies clamping mechanism includes a gantry support horizontally mounted above the platform's traversing mechanism, a clamping and lifting cylinder mounted on the gantry support, and a support connected to the clamping and lifting cylinder. Clamping components are connected to the support. This enables the lifting and lowering of the clamping components, allowing for precise alignment with the vibrating feeder for feeding the digital tubes, and lowering them to insert the digital tubes into the pearl cotton, achieving fully automated operation and replacing the existing manual insertion method, effectively improving the insertion efficiency of the digital tubes.
[0019] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes an adjusting cylinder, a first clamping member, and a second clamping member. The adjusting cylinder is fixed to the support base, the first clamping member is fixed to the lower side of the support base, and the second clamping member is connected to the adjusting cylinder. The first and second clamping members are arranged facing each other to form a clamping station. By driving the adjusting cylinder, the distance between the second clamping member and the first clamping member can be flexibly adjusted, thereby controlling the size of the clamping station to adapt to the application of digital tubes of different sizes. At the same time, precise control can avoid material damage or detachment due to excessive or insufficient clamping force.

This not only saves labor costs, but also effectively improves the operation effect, avoids the human-caused hidden dangers in manual operation, improves stability, and is more practical.
[0022] 2. This utility model adopts a platform lateral movement mechanism and a digital tube feeding mechanism, which can realize the insertion of a whole row of digital tubes into pearl cotton. The platform lateral movement mechanism controls the movement of the workpiece platform. After each row of digital tubes is inserted, the workpiece platform moves one position to facilitate the insertion of the next row of digital tubes. This combination can achieve uniform insertion of digital tubes. After completion, the platform lateral movement mechanism moves the workpiece platform to one side of the discharge mechanism for discharge. This realizes the automatic insertion of a whole row of digital tubes, effectively improving the feeding efficiency of digital tubes, and there is no human influence.

[0039] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0040] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second", such descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11. An embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic material feeding and packaging machine, including a worktable 1, a platform traversing mechanism 2, a pearl cotton feeding mechanism 3, a digital tube feeding mechanism 4, and a receiving mechanism 5.
[0042] As shown in Figure 1, a feeding station 11 and a discharging station 12 are provided on one side of the workbench 1, and a platform transverse mechanism 2 is installed on the other side, so that the first and last ends of the platform transverse mechanism 2 are respectively placed on one side of the feeding station 11 and the discharging station 12 to perform feeding and discharging operations.
[0043] As shown in Figure 1, to facilitate the feeding operation, this embodiment has a feeding box 13 for placing pearl cotton at the feeding station 11, which can cooperate with the pearl cotton feeding mechanism 3 to accurately insert and pick up pearl cotton. A positioning column 14 is provided at the discharging station 12, which can be used to fix the packaging box for holding the pearl cotton after the digital tube 6 has been inserted. The packaging box is not shown in the figure of this embodiment.
[0044] A workpiece platform 21 is provided on the platform traversing mechanism 2. The two ends of the platform traversing mechanism 2 are respectively placed on one side of the feeding station 11 and the discharging station 12. The specific structure of the platform traversing mechanism 2 in this embodiment is shown in Figures 2 and 3. The platform traversing mechanism 2 includes a first linear guide rail 22 fixed to the worktable 1 and a first motor 23 connected to the first linear guide rail 22. A first slide 24 is connected to the first linear guide rail 22. The workpiece platform 21 is connected to the first slide 24. The first motor 23 and the first linear guide rail 22 work together to drive the workpiece platform 21 to move back and forth. As shown in Figure 2, the workpiece platform 21 in this embodiment has a square structure. In order to avoid the pearl cotton from shifting when it is fed, at least one set of fixed The retaining edge 211 and a set of clamping components 25 are used for positioning the pearl cotton. In this embodiment, two sets of fixed retaining edges 211 are provided. Each set of fixed retaining edges 211 is provided opposite to a set of clamping components 25. The clamping component 25 includes a clamping telescopic cylinder 251 fixed to the lower end face of the workpiece platform 21. The clamping telescopic cylinder 251 is connected to a clamping member 252. A clamping column 253 is provided on the clamping member 252. A clamping groove 212 that cooperates with the clamping column 253 is provided on the workpiece platform 21. The area where the pearl cotton is placed on the workpiece platform 21 is adjusted and the pearl cotton is positioned and fixed by the forward and backward movement of the clamping member 252. At the same time, the offset pearl cotton can be adjusted so that it can be accurately placed on the working area of the workpiece platform 21.
[0045] As shown in Figure 1, the pearl cotton feeding mechanism 3 of this embodiment is disposed on the upper side of the workbench 1, so that it can move between the feeding station 11 and the platform transverse mechanism 2, and is used to transfer the pearl cotton at the feeding station 11 to the workpiece platform 21. Specifically, the pearl cotton feeding mechanism 3 includes, as shown in Figure 4, a first slide rail 31 and a first transmission cylinder 32 fixed to the workbench 1. In this embodiment, in order to improve space utilization, the first transmission cylinder 32 adopts a rodless cylinder. A first slider 33 connected to the first transmission cylinder 32 is provided on the first slide rail 31. A feeding bracket 34 is fixed to the first slider 33. A second linear guide rail 35 and a second motor 36 connected to the second linear guide rail 35 are fixed to the feeding bracket 34. A second slide table 37 is connected to the second linear guide rail 35. A second bracket 38 is connected to the second slide table 37. A first material transfer connector 39 is connected to the second bracket 38.
[0046] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, this embodiment uses a first transfer connector 39 to add and remove pearl cotton from the feeding station 11. When transferring the pearl cotton to the workpiece platform 21, it needs to be pushed away from the first transfer connector 39. Therefore, to ensure the smooth completion of the above work, the first transfer connector 39 includes a second support 38. The system consists of a fixed first plug-in main seat 391, a first plug-in cylinder 392 fixed to the first plug-in main seat 391, and a first push-out member 393 connected to the first plug-in cylinder 392. A first through hole 394 is provided on the first push-out member 393. A first plug-in pin 395 is provided on the first plug-in main seat 391. The first plug-in pin 395 is located at the lower edge of the first plug-in pin 395 main seat, forming a square structure. In use, it can be directly inserted around the pearl cotton without affecting the digital tube 6 inserted in the center of the pearl cotton. After passing through the first through hole 394, the first plug-in pin 395 extends to the bottom of the first push-out member 393. To show the first through hole 394, a first plug-in pin 395 is hidden in Figure 5. The first insertion cylinder 392 drives the first ejector 393, which, combined with the design of the first insertion pin 395, enables precise insertion and ejection actions, ensuring accurate positioning of the pearl cotton material during material transfer. After reaching the workpiece platform 21, the first ejector 393 ejects the pearl cotton to achieve the loading action.
[0047] Preferably, a first buffer cylinder 30 is provided at both ends of the first slide rail 31 to buffer the forward and backward displacement of the feeding bracket 34, so as to avoid excessive shaking during positioning and causing the pearl cotton to fall off.
[0048] When the pearl cotton feeding mechanism 3 transfers the pearl cotton to the platform traversing mechanism 2 and positions the pearl cotton, the digital tube feeding mechanism 4 will begin operation, as shown in Figure 6. This digital tube feeding mechanism 4 includes a vibratory feeder 41 located on one side of the workbench 1 and an aligning clamping mechanism 42 horizontally positioned above the platform traversing mechanism 2. The aligning clamping mechanism 42, in conjunction with the vibratory feeder 41, inserts the digital tube 6 onto the pearl cotton on the workpiece platform 21. To achieve quantitative feeding of the digital tube 6, the aligning clamping mechanism 42 and the vibratory feeder 41 work together to... A linear vibrating feeder 43 is also provided between 1 and 2. A blocking component 44 is provided at the end of the linear vibrating feeder 43, as shown in Figure 7. The blocking component 44 includes a blocking bracket 441 fixed to the end of the linear vibrating feeder 43 and a blocking cylinder 442 fixed to the blocking bracket 441. The blocking cylinder 442 is connected to a blocking member 443. The lower part of the blocking member 443 has a conical structure. This arrangement makes it easier for the blocking member 443 to be inserted into the material channel of the linear vibrating feeder 43 to block the digital tube 6.
[0049] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the column clamping mechanism 42 of this embodiment includes a gantry support 421 horizontally mounted above the platform transverse movement mechanism 2, a clamping lifting cylinder 422 mounted on the gantry support 421, and a support base 423 connected to the clamping lifting cylinder 422. A clamping assembly 424 is connected to the support base 423. The clamping assembly 424 includes an adjusting cylinder 4241, a first clamping member 4242, and a second clamping member 4243. The adjusting cylinder 4241 is fixed to the support base 423, the first clamping member 4242 is fixed to the lower side of the support base 423, and the second clamping member 4243 is connected to the adjusting cylinder 4241. As shown in Figure 9, the first clamping member 4242 and the second clamping member 4243 are arranged facing each other to form a clamping station 4244. The first clamping member 4242 and the second clamping member 4243 are both provided with a first step portion 42421 and a second step portion 42431 arranged facing each other. The clamping station 4244 is located above the first step portion 42421 and the second step portion 42431. The clamping station 4244 is used to support the body of the digital tube 6. In order to allow the pins 61 of the digital tube 6 to extend, a passage 4245 is formed between the first step portion 42421 and the second step portion 42431 for the pins 61 of the digital tube 6 to pass through.
[0050] As shown in Figure 1, the receiving mechanism 5 of this embodiment is located on the lower side of the workbench 1, allowing it to move between the platform traversing mechanism 2 and the discharge station 12. It is used to transfer the pearl cotton on the workpiece platform 21 to the infeed station 11. Specifically, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the receiving mechanism 5 includes a second slide rail 51 fixed to the workbench 1 and a second transmission cylinder 52. In this embodiment, to improve space utilization, the second transmission cylinder 52 is a rodless cylinder. A second slider 53 connected to the second transmission cylinder 52 is provided on the second slide rail 51. A receiving bracket 54 is fixed to the second slider 53. A third linear guide rail 55 and a third motor 56 connected to the third linear guide rail 55 are fixed to the receiving bracket 54. A third slide table 57 is connected to the third linear guide rail 55. A third bracket 58 is connected to the third slide table 57. A second material transfer connector 59 is connected to the third bracket 58.
[0051] As shown in Figure 11, the second material transfer connector 59 includes a second connector main seat 591 fixedly connected to the third bracket 58, a second connector cylinder 592 fixedly connected to the second connector main seat 591, and a second push-out member 593 connected to the second connector cylinder 592. A second through hole 594 is provided on the second push-out member 593. A second connector pin 595 is provided on the second connector main seat 591. The second connector pin 595 is located at the lower edge of the second connector pin 595 main seat, forming a square structure. In use, it can be directly inserted into the periphery of the pearl cotton without affecting the digital tube 6 inserted in the center of the pearl cotton. After passing through the second through hole 594, the second connector pin 595 extends to the lower part of the second push-out member 593. To show the second through hole 594, a second connector pin 595 is hidden in Figure 11. The second insertion cylinder 592 drives the second ejector 593, which, combined with the design of the second insertion pin 595, enables precise insertion and ejection actions, ensuring accurate positioning of the pearl cotton material during material transfer. After reaching the storage station, the second ejector 593 ejects the pearl cotton to achieve the discharge action.
[0052] Preferably, a second buffer cylinder 50 is provided at both ends of the second slide rail 51 to buffer the forward and backward displacement of the receiving bracket 54, so as to avoid excessive shaking during positioning and causing the pearl cotton and digital tube 6 to fall off.
[0053] The working principle of this utility model is summarized as follows: Before operation, pearl cotton is placed into the feeding box 13 manually or by other feeding equipment. A digital tube 6 is placed in the vibrating plate 41. The first transfer connector 39 and the second transfer connector 59 are both positioned above the platform horizontal movement mechanism 2. Then, the equipment is started. The first transmission cylinder 32 moves the first transfer connector 39 to above the feeding station 11. Then, the second motor 36 precisely controls the first transfer connector 39 to move downwards, causing the first connector pin 395 to insert into the uppermost pearl cotton at the feeding station 11. The second motor 36 operates in reverse to lift the first transfer connector 39. Finally, the first transmission cylinder 32 resets and brings the first transfer connector 39 above the workpiece platform 21. Then, the second motor 36 starts to move the first transfer connector 39 down. After reaching the position, the first connector cylinder 392 starts, driving the first pusher 393 down. The first pusher 393 pushes out the pearl cotton inserted into the first connector pin 395, causing the pearl cotton to fall onto the workpiece platform 21. After completion, the second motor 36 drives the first transfer connector 39 to rise, completing the loading action.
[0054] The vibratory feeder 41 synchronously feeds the digital tube 6 into the direct vibration feeder 43. At this time, the blocking member 443 is in the direct vibration feeder 43, blocking the forward movement of the digital tube 6. After the pearl cotton falls into the workpiece platform 21, the blocking cylinder 442 is activated to lift the blocking member 443, and the digital tube 6 will enter the clamping station 4244. The first step 42421 and the second step 42431 will support the main body of the digital tube 6, and the pins 61 of the digital tube 6 will be placed in the passage 4245. This continues until the clamping station 4244 is full of digital tubes 6. Then, the blocking cylinder 442 is activated to move the blocking member 443 down to block the subsequent digital tubes 6 in the direct vibration feeder 43. Then, the adjusting cylinder 4241 is activated to drive the second clamping member 424. 3. Tighten the clamping mechanism, and use the first clamping member 4242 to clamp the digital tube 6 in the clamping station 4244. Then, start the clamping lifting cylinder 422, and use the support seat 423 to move the digital tube 6 down until the pin 61 of the digital tube 6 is inserted into the pearl cotton. Then, start the adjusting cylinder 4241 to release the second clamping member 4243. The clamping lifting cylinder 422 is reset, and the support seat 423 drives the first clamping member 4242 and the second clamping member 4243 back to their initial positions. During the lifting process, start the adjusting cylinder 4241 to push the second clamping member 4243 towards the first clamping member 4242 so that the clamping station 4244 returns to its initial size and cooperates with the direct vibration feeder 43 to perform the next feeding action.
[0055] After the first row of digital tubes 6 is inserted into the pearl cotton on the workpiece platform 21, the first motor 23 starts and moves the workpiece platform 21 backward a distance, so that the position below the clamping station 4244 is cleared for the insertion of the second row of digital tubes 6. In this way, the workpiece platform 21 moves backward one position after each row of digital tubes 6 is inserted to cooperate with the insertion of the next row of digital tubes 6, until the pearl cotton is filled with a predetermined number of digital tubes 6. Then, the first motor 23 starts and brings the workpiece platform 21 to one side of the discharge station 12. Then the receiving mechanism 5 starts. The receiving mechanism 5 has the same structure as the pearl cotton feeding mechanism 3, and its actions are the same, so they will not be described in detail. The receiving mechanism 5 grabs the pearl cotton on the workpiece platform 21 and transfers it to the discharge station 12 to complete the discharge. The automated packaging operation of digital tubes 6 can be completed by repeating the process.
[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
