[0002] Currently, in the production and assembly process of water pumps for oral irrigators, one step requires assembling the Y-shaped sealing ring with the water outlet of the toothbrush. However, this step is mostly performed manually or semi-automatically, which greatly reduces the production efficiency of water pumps for oral irrigators. Furthermore, the use of manual or semi-automatic assembly methods can easily lead to precision errors. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to propose an automatic Y-type sealing ring feeding device with a high degree of automation and reduced accuracy errors.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic Y-ring feeding device includes a Y-ring vibrating plate, a support frame, a material passage, a dispensing cylinder, and a Y-ring assembly mechanism. The Y-ring vibrating plate is used to transport Y-rings. The support frame is located downstream of the Y-ring vibrating plate, and the material passage is located on top of the support frame, serving to receive the Y-rings transported by the vibrating plate. The dispensing cylinder and the Y-ring assembly mechanism are both located on top of the support frame. The dispensing cylinder pushes the Y-rings transported by the material passage to the Y-ring assembly mechanism. The Y-ring assembly mechanism includes an elastic block, a pressing rod, a lifting assembly, and a claw. The elastic block is located on top of the support frame, the pressing rod is positioned on the support frame and above the elastic block, and the lifting assembly is located inside the support frame and below the elastic block. The output end of the lifting assembly is connected to the claw.

[0006] Preferably, the above-mentioned automatic Y-shaped sealing ring feeding device further includes a pushing cylinder, which is mounted on the top of the support frame and is used to successfully push the Y-shaped sealing ring separated and pushed out by the dispensing cylinder into the position of the elastic block.

[0007] Preferably, the above-mentioned automatic Y-type sealing ring feeding device further includes a sensing element, which is mounted on the top of the support frame and is used to detect whether the Y-type sealing ring is in place.

[0008] Preferably, in the above-mentioned automatic Y-shaped sealing ring feeding device, the material passage is provided with a first channel and a second channel.

[0009] Preferably, in the above-mentioned automatic Y-type sealing ring feeding device, the lifting assembly includes a drive cylinder and a transition rod. The drive cylinder is disposed on the inner side of the support frame, the output end of the drive cylinder is connected to the transition rod, and the transition rod is connected to the pawl.

[0010] Preferably, in the above-mentioned automatic Y-shaped sealing ring feeding device, the sensing element includes a bracket and a sensing optical fiber. The bracket is mounted on the top of the support frame, the sensing optical fiber is disposed on the bracket, and the sensing optical fiber is located above the elastic block.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] (1) First, the Y-type sealing rings are sequentially conveyed to the material passage through the Y-type ring vibrating plate. The material passage receives them. After the Y-type sealing rings are received, the material distribution cylinder pushes the received Y-type sealing rings to the corresponding positions of the Y-type ring assembly mechanism. Finally, the Y-type sealing rings and the water outlet of the toothbrush are assembled by the Y-type ring assembly mechanism.

[0021] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, an automatic Y-ring feeding device includes a Y-ring vibrating plate 11, a support frame 12, a material passage 13, a dispensing cylinder 14, and a Y-ring assembly mechanism 15. The Y-ring vibrating plate 11 is used to transport Y-rings. The support frame 12 is located downstream of the Y-ring vibrating plate 11, and the material passage 13 is mounted on top of the support frame 12 to receive the Y-rings transported by the Y-ring vibrating plate 11. The dispensing cylinder 14 and the Y-ring assembly mechanism 15 are both mounted on top of the support frame 12. The dispensing cylinder 14 pushes the Y-rings transported by the material passage 13 to the Y-ring assembly mechanism 15. The Y-ring assembly mechanism 15 includes an elastic block 16, a pressing rod 17, a lifting component 18, and a claw 19. The elastic block 16 is located on top of the support frame 12. The pressing rod 17 is positioned on the support frame 12 and is located above the elastic block 16. The lifting component 18 is located inside the support frame 12 and below the elastic block 16. The output end of the lifting component 18 is connected to the claw 19. First, the Y-shaped sealing rings are sequentially conveyed to the material channel 13 by the Y-shaped ring vibrating plate 11. The material channel 13 receives them. After the Y-shaped sealing rings are received, the material dispensing cylinder 14 pushes the received Y-shaped sealing rings to the corresponding position of the Y-shaped ring assembly mechanism 15. Finally, the Y-shaped sealing rings and the water outlet of the toothbrush are assembled by the Y-shaped ring assembly mechanism 15. This design can completely replace manual labor, improve the degree of automation, and also improve the assembly accuracy of the Y-shaped sealing rings and the water outlet.

[0022] The automatic Y-type sealing ring feeding device in this embodiment includes an elastic block 16, a pressing rod 17, a lifting component 18, and a claw 19 in the Y-type sealing ring assembly structure. When assembling the Y-type sealing ring with the water outlet component, the Y-type sealing ring is transported to the position of the elastic block 16. The pressing rod 17, located above the elastic block 16, presses against the center of the Y-type sealing ring, thus opening it. The lifting component 18 drives the claw 19 to clamp the Y-type sealing ring, which is then transported and assembled with the water inlet component. This design improves assembly efficiency.

[0023] The automatic Y-type sealing ring feeding device in this embodiment also includes a pushing cylinder 20, which is mounted on the top of the support frame 12. The pushing cylinder 20 is used to successfully push the Y-type sealing ring separated and pushed out by the distributing cylinder 14 into the position of the elastic block 16. Since there is also a pushing cylinder 20, after the distributing cylinder 14 separates and pushes the Y-type sealing ring out from the material passage 13, the pushing cylinder 20 pushes the Y-type sealing ring into the processing position of the elastic block 16 in sequence. This design ensures accuracy while avoiding the problem of material leakage.

[0024] In some embodiments, the automatic Y-type sealing ring feeding device also includes a sensor 21 mounted on the top of the support frame 12. The sensor 21 is used to detect whether the Y-type sealing ring is in place. This design, which detects the Y-type sealing ring in place by using the sensor 21, further improves the assembly accuracy.

[0025] In some embodiments of the automatic Y-type sealing ring feeding device, the material passage 13 is provided with a first channel 22 and a second channel 23; this design allows the first channel 22 and the second channel 23 to simultaneously transport the Y-type sealing ring, further improving work efficiency.

[0026] In this embodiment, the automatic Y-type sealing ring feeding device includes a lifting assembly 18 comprising a drive cylinder 24 and a transition rod 25. The drive cylinder 24 is located inside the support frame 12, and its output end is connected to the transition rod 25, which is connected to the pawl 19. The drive cylinder 24 drives the transition rod 25, which in turn drives the pawl 19, thus achieving the purpose of lifting and transferring the Y-type sealing ring.

[0027] In some embodiments of the automatic Y-type sealing ring feeding device, the sensing element 21 includes a bracket 26 and a sensing optical fiber 27. The bracket 26 is mounted on the top of the support frame 12, and the sensing optical fiber 27 is mounted on the bracket 26 and located above the elastic block 16. Since the sensing optical fiber 27 is located above the elastic block 16, it can better detect whether the Y-type sealing ring is placed in place, further ensuring accuracy and avoiding errors during subsequent assembly.

[0028] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
