[0030] The technical solution protected by this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, this application proposes an automated tube processing device, which includes a machine base, an empty tube storage module 1, a filling operation module 2, and a full tube stacking module 3 sequentially arranged on the machine base, and a tube transfer mechanism 4 arranged between each module. The tube transfer mechanism 4 receives empty tubes in the empty tube storage module 1 and transfers them to the filling operation module 2. The empty tubes are filled into the tubes in the filling operation module 2. After the tubes are full, they are transferred by the tube transfer mechanism 4 to the full tube stacking module 3 for stacking and collection, thereby completing the automated processing of tubes and effectively improving work efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the empty tube storage module 1 includes two symmetrically arranged first support units 11. Each first support unit 11 includes a first bracket 111 vertically mounted on the machine platform and two first side plates 112 vertically mounted on the first bracket 111 and arranged parallel to each other. The gap between the two first side plates 112 forms a first receiving channel 113 that matches the diameter of the material tube. A tube separation component 12 is provided at the lower part of the first receiving channel 113. Multiple empty material tubes are vertically accommodated in the first receiving channel 113. The tube separation component 12 is used to support all the empty material tubes and separate the lower empty material tubes one by one.

[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the tube separation assembly 12 includes a horizontally arranged first cylinder 121. The piston rod end of the first cylinder 121 is connected to a laterally retractable support member 122. Above the first cylinder 121 is a horizontally arranged second cylinder 123. The piston rod end of the second cylinder 123 is connected to a laterally retractable baffle member 124. When the baffle member 124 retracts, the support member 122 extends to support all empty tubes. When the baffle member 124 extends, a gap is formed between its lower end face and the upper end face of the support member 122, which is only able to accommodate a single empty tube, allowing the single empty tube to be separated in the gap. After the tube transfer mechanism 4 is positioned below the empty tube storage module 1, the support member 122 retracts, and the separated single empty tube falls onto the tube transfer mechanism 4. Both the support member 122 and the stop member 124 can preferably be configured as sheet-like structures, or the support member 122 and the stop member 124 can be configured as columnar structures with arc-shaped chamfers at the ends, so as to be inserted between the material tubes.

[0034] like Figure 1 and 3As shown, the full tube stacking module 3 includes two sets of second support units 31 arranged symmetrically. Each set of second support units 31 includes a second bracket 311 vertically mounted on the machine platform and two second side plates 312 vertically mounted on the second bracket 311 and arranged parallel to each other. The gap between the two second side plates 312 forms a second receiving channel 313 that matches the diameter of the material tube. An elastic support component 32 is provided at the bottom of the second receiving channel 313. Full tubes are pushed into the second receiving channel 313 from bottom to top. The elastic support component 32 is used to support all full tubes in the channel.

[0035] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the elastic support component 32 includes an opening 321 at the lower part of the second side plate 312. An L-shaped flip-up tray 322 is hinged to the opening 321 via a pivot 323. The long side of the flip-up tray 322 extends obliquely upward into the second receiving channel 313. A spring 324 is connected to the outer edge of the short side of the flip-up tray 322, and the other end of the spring 324 is connected upward to the outer wall of the second side plate 312. The upper surface of the long side of the flip-up tray 322 is a working surface, which extends obliquely into the second receiving channel 313 in its natural state to form a support plane. The lower surface of the short side of the flip-up tray 322 is an abutment surface, which abuts against the bottom surface of the opening 321 in its natural state. When the tilting pallet 322 is pressed, it can rotate upward to exit the second receiving channel 313, allowing the full material tube to enter the second receiving channel from bottom to top. After the pressure is released, the tilting pallet 322 returns to its original position under the action of the spring 324 to support the full material tube in the second receiving channel 313. Preferably, the outer wall of the connection between the long side and the short side of the tilting pallet 322 is set to be arc-shaped to improve the smoothness of the rotation of the tilting pallet 322.

[0036] like Figure 1 and 5 As shown, the filling module 2 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged pipe clamps 21 for fixing the two ends of the material pipe in the filling state. One side of the pipe clamp 21 has a feeding channel 22 for the filling operation.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the pipe clamp 21 includes a clamp base 211, a fixed clamping plate 212 disposed on the upper part of the clamp base 211, a movable clamping plate 213 disposed on the lower part of the clamp base 211, and a third cylinder 214 for driving the movable clamping plate 213 to rise and fall. The opposite end faces of the fixed clamping plate 212 and the movable clamping plate 213 are provided with arc-shaped positioning grooves 215. Preferably, the curvature of the positioning groove 215 matches the outer curvature of the pipe. The third cylinder 214 drives the movable clamping plate 213 to move upward, thereby clamping and restricting the end of the pipe between the fixed clamping plate 212 and the movable clamping plate 213, thus limiting the displacement of the pipe in the vertical and radial directions.

[0038] like Figure 5As shown, the feeding channel 22 is horizontally opened on one side of the clamping base 211, and the other side of the clamping base 211 has a horizontally movable tube pushing assembly 23. The tube pushing assembly 23 includes a pushing block and a fifth cylinder that drives the pushing block to move horizontally. When the tube is clamped between the fixed clamping plate 212 and the movable clamping plate 213, the fifth cylinder drives the tube pushing block to extend, so that one end of the tube abuts against the clamping base 211 with the feeding channel 22. The center of the tube is connected to the feeding channel 22 so that the tube can receive material.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, preferably, in this embodiment, a separation auxiliary component 24 is provided at the inlet of the feeding channel 22. The separation auxiliary component 24 includes a separation plate and a sixth cylinder for driving the separation plate to extend and retract. The end of the separation plate is provided with an arc-shaped separation slot, which is configured to separate the feeding rod and the product sleeved on the feeding rod, so that the product is retained in the material tube.

[0040] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the tube transfer mechanism 4 includes a material transfer assembly 41 spanning all modules and a lifting assembly 42 located below the full tube stacking module 3. The material transfer assembly 41 includes a linear motion module 411 mounted on the machine base and a material transfer support plate 412 located at the moving end of the linear motion module 411. The top of the material transfer support plate 412 has a U-shaped support groove 413, the inner diameter of which matches the outer diameter of the tube. The material transfer support plate 412 is used to support the tube. The linear motion module 411 drives the material transfer support plate 412 to slide back and forth between the empty tube storage module 1, the filling operation module 2, and the full tube stacking module 3 to transfer and transport the tube between the modules.

[0041] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the lifting assembly 42 includes a lifting plate 421 and a fourth cylinder 422 for driving the lifting plate 421 to rise and fall. The upper end surface of the lifting plate 421 has an arc-shaped lifting groove 423. The inner diameter of the lifting groove 423 matches the outer diameter of the material tube and is used to position the material tube so that when the fourth cylinder 422 drives the lifting plate 421 to rise, it simultaneously drives the material tube in the lifting groove 423 to rise synchronously.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, specifically, when the fourth cylinder 422 is in the retracted state, the upper height of the lifting pallet 421 does not exceed the bottom height of the support groove 413 of the transfer support plate 412, so that the transfer support plate 412 can drive the material tube to move above the lifting pallet 421; when the fourth cylinder 422 is in the extended state, the bottom height of the lifting groove 423 of the lifting pallet 421 is greater than the support plane height of the flipping pallet 322, so as to lift and send the material tube into the second receiving channel 313.

[0043] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
