[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a toothpaste pump assembly mechanism, including a material conveying component 1, a transfer component 2, a station component 3, and a pushing component 4. The toothpaste pump includes a pump head 5 and a pump base 6, with the pump head 5 inserted into the pump base 6.

[0023] The material conveying assembly 1 includes a material conveying channel 11, a temporary storage tank 12, a blocking block 13, a movable seat 14, and a moving drive element 15. The width of the material conveying channel 11 is the same as the width of the pump head 5. A material conveying cover 16 is provided above the material conveying channel 11, and the material conveying cover 16 is fixedly connected to the material conveying channel 11 to prevent external dust from entering the material conveying channel 11. Both the moving drive element 15 and the movable seat 14 are mounted on a movable support. The fixed end of the moving drive element 15 is fixedly connected to the movable support, and the movable seat 14 is located at the end of the material conveying channel 11. The moving drive element 15 is a cylinder or electric cylinder with linear motion at its output end. The output end of the moving drive element 15 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 14, and the moving drive element 15 drives the movable seat 14 to move linearly at the upper limit of the movable support. The axial direction of the material conveying channel 11 and the moving direction of the movable seat 14 are perpendicular to each other. The temporary storage tank 12 and the blocking block 13 are fixedly arranged on the movable seat 14 along the moving direction of the movable seat 14. The top of the temporary storage tank 12 and the side near the conveying channel 11 are connected to the outside. The temporary storage tank 12 can only accommodate one pump head 5. During the process of the movable seat 14 moving back and forth driven by the moving drive element 15, the temporary storage tank 12 and the blocking block 13 are alternately positioned at the end of the conveying channel 11. When the temporary storage tank 12 moves to the end of the conveying channel 11, the temporary storage tank 12 and the conveying channel 11 are connected. When the blocking block 13 moves to the end of the conveying channel 11, the blocking block 13 blocks the discharge direction of the conveying channel 11, and the conveying channel 11 stops discharging material. In order to know the specific position of the movable seat 14, the movable support is equipped with a first position sensor 17, and the receiving end of the first position sensor 17 faces the movable seat 14.

[0024] The transfer assembly 2 includes a transfer bracket 21, a transfer drive element 22, a transfer fixed base 23, a transfer movable base 24, and a transfer pneumatic gripper 25. The transfer fixed base 23 is fixedly mounted on the transfer bracket 21. The transfer drive element 22 is a motor with a rotating output end. The fixed end of the transfer drive element 22 is fixedly connected to the transfer fixed base 23, and a rotating component 221 is fixedly mounted on its output end. The transfer drive element 22 drives the rotating component 221 to rotate. The transfer fixed base 23 is provided with a transfer track groove 231 and a transfer transverse track 232. The transfer track groove 231 is an inverted U-shaped groove and is arranged around the output end of the transfer drive element 22. The rotating component 221 is provided with a limiting elongated hole 222, which communicates with the transfer track groove 231. The axial direction of the transfer transverse track 232 is consistent with the straight direction of the pump head 5 moving laterally from the conveying channel to the station assembly 3. One side of the transfer movable base 24 is shaped to fit the transfer transverse track 232, and the transfer movable base 24 moves along the upper limit of the transfer transverse track 232. The transfer seat 24 is provided with a vertical transfer track groove 241. A transfer movable seat 26 is provided between the transfer pneumatic gripper 25 and the transfer seat 24. The transfer movable seat 26 moves up and down along the vertical transfer track groove 241. One end of the transfer movable seat 26 is provided with a rotating bearing. The rotating bearing rotates at the upper limit of the transfer movable seat 26 and moves within the transfer track groove 231 and the limiting elongated hole 222. The transfer movable seat 26 is fixedly connected to the transfer pneumatic gripper 25. When the transfer drive element 22 rotates, the rotating component 221 rotates, and the rotating bearing moves within the transfer track groove 231. Because the distances between different points in the transfer track groove 231 and the output end of the transfer drive element 22 are different, the rotating bearing will move within the limiting elongated hole 222. Since the rotating bearing will move up and down and laterally within the transfer track groove 231, the transfer movable seat 26 achieves limited movement through the transfer horizontal track 232 and the transfer vertical track groove 241, ultimately moving the transfer pneumatic gripper 25 from the temporary storage groove 12 to the workstation assembly 3. To detect whether the transfer movable seat 26 has reached the set position, the transfer fixed seat 23 is equipped with a second position sensor 233. The receiving end of the second position sensor 233 detects whether the transfer movable seat 26 has passed through.

[0025] The workstation assembly 3 includes a fixed base 31 and fixed protrusions 32. The fixed protrusions 32 are disposed on the fixed base 31 and are located on opposite sides of the fixed base 31. A clearance channel 33 is provided between the two fixed protrusions 32. In practical applications, the workstation assembly 3 is installed on an assembly line. When the workstation assembly 3 reaches the set position, the transfer assembly 2 transfers the pump head 5 from the conveying assembly 1 to the workstation assembly 3. The pump seat 6 is placed on the fixed base 31, and the fixed protrusions 32 define the position of the pump seat 6. The pump seat 6 is movably fitted from top to bottom onto the fixed base 31 and the fixed protrusions 32, and the clearance channel 33 allows the pump head 5 to pass through, thereby facilitating the subsequent assembly of the pump head 5 and the pump seat 6.

[0026] The feeding assembly 4 includes a feeding drive element 41, a feeding block 42, and a fixed limiting block 43, with the fixed limiting block 43 disposed on one side of the fixed base 31. The feeding drive element 41 is a pneumatic or electric cylinder with linear motion at its output end. The output end of the feeding drive element 41 is fixedly connected to the feeding block 42. The feeding block 42 and the fixed limiting block 43 are respectively disposed at both ends of the clearance channel 33. The feeding drive element 41 drives the feeding block 42 to move closer to or further away from the clearance channel 33. Driven by the feeding drive element 41, the feeding block 42 moves the pump head 5 placed on the pump base 6 toward the fixed limiting block. The fixed limiting block 43 limits the final position reached by the pump head 5, thereby completing the assembly of the pump head 5 and the pump base 6.

[0027] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The pump head 5 is conveyed by the conveying channel 11. The moving drive element 15 drives the temporary storage tank 12 to connect with the conveying channel 11. The conveying channel 11 conveys a pump head 5 to the temporary storage tank 12. The moving drive element 15 drives the temporary storage tank 12 away and the blocking block 13 moves to the end of the conveying channel 11. The blocking block 13 blocks the conveying channel 11 from continuing to convey material outward. The transfer component 2 drives the transfer pneumatic gripper 25 to reach above the pump head 5. The transfer pneumatic gripper 25 clamps the pump head 5. The transfer component 2 drives the transfer pneumatic gripper 25 to transfer to the station component 3. The transfer pneumatic gripper 25 opens, and the pump head 5 falls into the clearance channel 33. The pushing component 4 pushes the pump head 5 towards the fixed limit block 43. The pump head 5 and the pump base 6 are assembled.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
