Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the air conditioning industry, specifically to an automated feeding mechanism for air conditioning output pipes. Background Technology

[0002] In the air conditioner manufacturing process, a feeding process for the air conditioner condenser pipes (or output pipes) is required. Air conditioner condenser pipes have curved sections and are relatively long and thin. Traditionally, most air conditioner condenser pipe output pipes are fed using material crates, with manual labor to neatly stack the pipes in the crates. This method makes the machine complex, difficult to maintain, and relatively expensive. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hopper mechanism for an air conditioning output pipe.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a hopper mechanism for an air conditioning output pipe, comprising a first frame, a second frame and a main slide, wherein the main slide passes through the through holes of the first frame and the second frame, the first frame is provided with a material distribution mechanism, the main slide is inclined, the lower horizontal end of the main slide is movably connected to a support by a pivot pin, and the middle of the main slide is supported by an inclination adjustment bracket.

[0005] As an improvement to the hopper mechanism of the air conditioning output pipe of this utility model, the lower horizontal end of the main slide is supported against a bottom bracket. A positioning cylinder is provided on the bottom bracket, which controls the movement of a positioning plate. A positioning plate is provided at one end of the bottom bracket, and the positioning plate and the positioning plate together clamp the positioning output pipe.

[0006] As an improvement to the hopper mechanism of the air conditioner output pipe of this utility model, a sensor mounting plate is provided on the outer side of the positioning plate, and a sensor is provided on the sensor mounting plate. When the sensor detects the presence of an output pipe, the positioning cylinder is activated to push the positioning plate against the output pipe.

[0007] As an improvement to the hopper mechanism of the air conditioner output pipe of this utility model, the first frame and the second frame are jointly equipped with three positioning strips. The three positioning strips are arranged in a triangle, with two positioning strips positioning the two sides of the output pipe and the third positioning strip positioning the top of the output pipe. The same end of the three positioning strips is bent outward to form a flared section. The flared section facilitates the insertion of the output pipe.

[0008] As an improvement to the hopper mechanism of the air conditioning output pipe of this utility model, the middle of each of the three positioning bars is connected to a positioning frame.

[0009] As an improvement to the material hopper mechanism of the air conditioner output pipe of this utility model, cylindrical guide rods are provided on both sides of the front edge of the main slide. A limiting block is provided on the front of the lower horizontal end of the main slide. The output pipe flows smoothly along the main slide to the position of the material distribution mechanism by gravity. The material distribution mechanism separates individual output pipes into the positioning position and abuts against the limiting block.

[0010] As an improvement of the material hopper mechanism of the air conditioner output pipe of this utility model, the material distribution mechanism includes a cylinder mounting bracket, on which a first cylinder and a second cylinder are provided. The first cylinder is located on one side of the second cylinder. The first cylinder controls the movement of the first material distribution plate. One end of the first material distribution plate is provided with a material distribution tip. The second cylinder controls the movement of the second material distribution plate. Two material distribution baffles are provided at intervals at the bottom of the second material distribution plate.

[0011] The top of the first frame is provided with a through hole, through which the material distribution baffle can extend.

[0012] As an improvement to the hopper mechanism of the air conditioning output pipe of this utility model, the tilt adjustment bracket includes an upper bracket and a lower bracket. The lower end of the upper bracket is provided with a screw, and the screw is provided with an adjusting nut. The lower end of the screw passes through the upper rod hole of the lower bracket, and the lower end of the lower bracket is movably connected to a rod seat by a shaft pin.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model can achieve automatic material distribution and positioning functions without a material frame circulation mechanism, simplifying the overall machine structure, facilitating maintenance, and saving costs. This utility model adopts a slide rail design, relying on the gravity of the output tube for sliding feeding. When the output tube slides to the position of the material distribution mechanism, the material distribution mechanism distributes materials one by one. After the distribution is completed, the output tube continues to slide to the positioning position. The positioning cylinder can position the output tube through the signal sensed by the sensor, which facilitates the robot arm to pick up materials in the subsequent process.

[0014] Working principle: The output pipe is manually placed into the main slide through the manual feeding port. The lifting rod on the main slide can adjust the angle of the main slide, so that the output pipe flows smoothly into the distributing mechanism by gravity. The distributing mechanism uses the first distributing cylinder and the second distributing cylinder to separate individual output pipes into the positioning mechanism. After the sensor detects the output pipe, the positioning cylinder pushes the positioning output pipe to tighten. Attached Figure Description
