In addition, the directional terms mentioned in this utility model, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. The directional terms are used to better and more clearly explain and understand this utility model, and are not intended to indicate or imply the necessary orientation of this utility model. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0019] Examples of embodiments of this utility model Figures 1 to 3As shown, a hollow cylindrical auxiliary feeding device includes a support 1. The support 1 is equipped with a first auxiliary mechanism 2 for feeding longer products and a second auxiliary mechanism 3 for feeding shorter products. The first auxiliary mechanism 2 and the second auxiliary mechanism 3 are arranged vertically at intervals. The first auxiliary mechanism 2 includes a first base 20 extending horizontally. A first slider 21 is slidably mounted on the first base 20. The first slider 21 has a first notch 22 for transporting longer products, located on the rear sidewall of the first slider 21. The first base 20 has a first through hole 24 for the longer product to fall into, located on the top surface of the first base 20 near the right side. A first pin 25 is inserted into the hollow portion of the product within the first through hole 20; that is, after the product falls into the first through hole 20, it is fitted onto the first pin 25. The second auxiliary mechanism 3... The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a second base 30, on which a second slider 31 is slidably mounted. The second slider 31 has a second notch 32 for transporting shorter products. Preferably, both the rear ends of the first base 30 and the rear ends of the second base 30 are provided with baffles to prevent products from falling out of the first notch 22 or the second notch 32 when the first slider 21 and the second slider 31 slide. The second base 30 has a second through hole 34 for shorter products to fall into. A second pin 35 for inserting the hollow part of the product is provided in the second through hole 34. The bracket 1 is provided with a lifting mechanism for driving the first pin 25 and the second pin 35 to rise and fall. The bracket 1 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the first slider 21 and the second slider 31 to slide. The bracket 1 is provided with a feeding mechanism for feeding longer and shorter products to the first notch 22 and the second notch 32, respectively.

[0020] The feeding mechanism vertically feeds the longer and shorter products into the first notch 22 and the second notch 32, respectively. The driving mechanism drives the first slider 21 and the second slider 31 to slide, thereby moving the longer and shorter products directly above the first through hole 24 and the second through hole 34, respectively. At this time, the longer and shorter products fall into the first through hole 34 and the second through hole 34, respectively. The longer and shorter products are respectively fitted onto the first pin 25 and the second pin 35. Then, the lifting mechanism drives the first pin 25 and the second pin 35 to rise. The first pin 25 and the second pin 35 position the longer and shorter products respectively, while preventing the longer and shorter products from falling over, thereby facilitating the vacuum adsorption device to adsorb the side walls of the longer and shorter products.

[0021] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the feeding mechanism includes two vibrating discs 4, which are located behind the first auxiliary mechanism 2 and the second auxiliary mechanism 3, respectively. The discharge ports of the two vibrating discs 4 are connected to the first notch 22 and the second notch 32, respectively. The first slider 21 is provided with a first suction hole 23 on the inner wall of the first notch 22, and the second slider 31 is provided with a second suction hole 33 on the inner wall of the second notch 32. Both the first suction hole 23 and the second suction hole 33 are connected to an external vacuum pump. The vacuum pump adsorbs the side wall of the product through the first suction hole 23 and the second suction hole 33 to prevent the product in the first notch 22 or the second notch 32 from falling out.

[0022] Further improvements, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving mechanism includes two driving cylinders 5, and two base frames 50 are provided on the bracket 1. The two driving cylinders 5 are respectively mounted on the two base frames 50. The first base 20 and the second base 30 are respectively mounted on the two base frames 50. The base frames 50 are provided with slide rails 51. Preferably, the slide rails 51 are dovetail-shaped slide rails 51. The two slide rails 51 extend in the left and right directions and are respectively located in front of the first base 20 and the second base 30. The slide rails 51 are provided with slide blocks 52. One end of the first slide block 21 and one end of the second slide block 31 are connected to the slide block 31. Both ends are set on the corresponding slide base 52. The end of the first slider 21 away from the corresponding slide base 52 and the end of the second slider 31 away from the corresponding slide base 52 are respectively slidably set on the first base 20 and the second base 30. That is, the front ends of the first slider 21 and the second slider 31 are fixedly set on the corresponding slide base 52, and the rear ends of the first slider 21 and the second slider 31 are respectively slidably set on the first base 20 and the second base 30. The output ends of the two drive cylinders 5 are respectively connected to the two slide bases 52, and the first slider 21 and the second slider 31 are driven to slide in the left and right directions by the drive cylinders 5.

[0023] Further improvements, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes two lifting cylinders 6, which are respectively mounted on two base frames 50. The output ends of the two lifting cylinders 6 are respectively connected to the first pin 25 and the second pin 35, and the first pin 25 and the second pin 35 are driven to move up and down by the lifting cylinders 6.

[0024] Further improvements, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the support 1 is provided with two auxiliary top plate mechanisms. The two auxiliary top plate mechanisms assist the robot arm in picking up the longer product on the first pin 25 and the shorter product on the second pin 35, respectively. The auxiliary top plate mechanism includes two top plate frames 7 set on the support 1. The two top plate frames 7 are located on the side of the first base 20 near the center of the support 1 and the side of the second base 30 near the center of the support 1, respectively. The top plate frame 7 is provided with a top plate cylinder 70. The output end of the top plate cylinder 70 is provided with a top plate 71. Preferably, the top plate 71 is a rubber plate. When the vacuum adsorption device on the robot arm needs to pick up the product on the first pin 25 and the second pin 35, the top plate cylinder 70 pushes the top plate 71 forward, and the top plate 71 holds the robot arm to prevent the robot arm from bending the first pin 25 and the second pin 35.

[0025] Further improvements, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support 1 is provided with two base plates 8, which are arranged vertically at intervals. One end of each base plate 8 extends out of the side of the support 1. The first auxiliary mechanism 2 and the second auxiliary mechanism 3 are respectively located on the top surface of the two base plates 8 at the position where they extend out of the side of the support 1, so as to prevent the support 1 from interfering with the vacuum adsorption device on the robotic arm to adsorb products. The first auxiliary mechanism 2 and the second auxiliary mechanism 3 are installed through the base plates 8.

[0026] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the support 1 is provided with a control panel 9 for controlling the lifting mechanism, the drive mechanism and the feeding mechanism. The auxiliary feeding device can be easily controlled through the control panel 9.

[0027] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
