Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fuse tube processing equipment technology, specifically to a fuse tube feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During the fuse tube feeding process, a vibratory feeder is used in conjunction with a linear track. The vibratory feeder delivers the tubes one by one to the linear track through vibration, and then the track transports the tubes to the main turntable clamps. However, because the tubes are cylindrical and relatively small, the vibratory feeder is prone to unstable tube posture and rolling misalignment during the feeding process. This can prevent the tubes from being transported smoothly on the linear track, potentially requiring frequent machine stops for adjustments, which significantly reduces production efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, this application studies a fuse tube feeding mechanism that enables more accurate feeding and improves production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to enable more accurate feeding and improve production efficiency, this application provides a fuse tube feeding mechanism.

[0005] This application provides a fuse tube feeding mechanism, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A fuse tube feeding mechanism includes a feeding assembly, which includes a hopper, a first driving member, a transfer member, and a conveying member. The transfer member is disposed on one side of the hopper and includes a pusher and a support member offset at different heights. The first driving member drives the pusher to move along the support member. The transfer member is provided with at least a first transfer member and a second transfer member. The support member of the first transfer member and the pusher member of the second transfer member are on the same inclined plane. The inner bottom wall of the hopper is inclined downward toward the pusher member of the first transfer member. The pusher member of the first transfer member and the inner bottom wall of the hopper are on the same inclined plane. The support member of the second transfer member faces the conveying member.

[0007] The fuse tube rolls along the inner bottom wall of the hopper to the pusher of the first transfer member. When the first drive member drives the pusher of the first transfer member upward to be on the same inclined plane as the support member, the fuse tube rolls on the pusher of the second transfer member and rolls along the support member of the second transfer member toward the conveyor.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the fuse tube rolls onto the pusher. As the pusher moves upward along the side of the support, the angle of the fuse tube is further adjusted. When the pusher and the support are aligned, the fuse tube rolls onto the support. Through the setting of multi-stage transfer components, the posture of the fuse tube is stabilized, and then the support of the second transfer component rolls onto the conveyor, allowing the fuse tube to roll onto the conveyor with a stable posture for conveying, thereby improving the accuracy of feeding and production efficiency.

[0009] Optionally, a guide is provided between the support member and the conveying member of the second transfer member, wherein the height of the support member is higher than that of the conveying member, and the guide is inclined toward the conveying member.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide component further guides the fuse tube to smoothly transition from the support component of the second transfer component to the conveying component, preventing the tube from getting stuck or deviating from the conveying path during the transfer process, thus improving the accuracy of tube conveying.

[0011] Optionally, the first driving member is connected to a push block, the push block is provided with stepped portions, one end of the push member abuts against different stepped portions, and when the first driving member drives the push block to move, it simultaneously pushes different push members to a position on the same inclined plane as the support member.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the first driving component can simultaneously drive multiple pushing components, which simplifies the driving structure, reduces the complexity and cost of the equipment, and ensures the synchronous movement of the pushing components and the supporting components, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of tube transfer.

[0013] Optionally, at least one set of transfer members may be provided between the first transfer member and the second transfer member.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and using multi-layer transfer components, the posture of the fuse tube can be adjusted and stabilized multiple times, thereby further improving the feeding stability.

[0015] Optionally, the conveyor includes a conveyor belt and limiting members disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt and arranged along the length direction of the conveyor.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the pipe body always moves along the center line of the conveying component, avoiding the pipe body from deviating from the conveying path due to vibration or external force during the conveying process, thus improving the stability of pipe body conveying.

[0017] Optionally, a sensor is provided downstream of the conveyor.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, accurate signal feedback is provided for subsequent clamping, flipping and other operations, thus realizing automated control.

[0019] Optionally, a blocking member is provided downstream of the conveying member, the blocking member being used to block the fuse tube body.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the delivery position of the tube can be precisely controlled, ensuring that the tube can be accurately clamped after reaching the designated position.

[0021] Optionally, it also includes a flipping assembly, which includes a second drive member, a third drive member, and a clamping member. The second drive member drives the third drive member to flip to a position downstream of the conveyor, and the third drive member drives the clamping member to clamp the fuse tube.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the automatic flipping and clamping of the fuse tube can be realized, improving the flexibility of fuse tube feeding.

[0023] Optionally, the flipping assembly further includes a rotating shaft and a rotating gear. The rotating gear is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the third driving member. The output end of the second driving member has a rotating tooth that meshes with the rotating gear. The movement of the output end of the second driving member causes the rotating tooth to drive the rotating gear to rotate, thereby flipping the third driving member.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, precise flipping control of the second driving component was achieved, ensuring the stability and reliability of the flipping action.

[0025] Optionally, it also includes an opening clamp assembly for opening the product clamp, while the flipping assembly flips the clamped fuse tube into the product clamp, the opening clamp assembly releases the product clamp, and the product clamp holds the fuse tube.

[0026] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. The fuse tube rolls onto the pusher. As the pusher moves upward along the side of the support, the angle of the fuse tube is further adjusted. When the pusher is flush with the support, the fuse tube rolls onto the support. Through the setting of multi-stage transfer components, the posture of the fuse tube is stabilized, and then the support of the second transfer component rolls onto the conveyor. This allows the fuse tube to roll onto the conveyor with a stable posture for conveying, improving feeding accuracy and production efficiency.

[0028] 2. The guide component further guides the fuse tube body to smoothly transition from the support component of the second transfer component to the conveying component, preventing the tube body from getting stuck or deviating from the conveying path during the transfer process, thus improving the accuracy of tube body conveying;

[0029] 3. The flipping component enables automatic flipping and clamping of the fuse tube, improving the flexibility of fuse tube loading. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0039] This application discloses a fuse tube feeding mechanism. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The fuse tube feeding mechanism includes a feeding assembly, which comprises a hopper 1, a first driving component 2, a transfer component 3, and a conveying component 4. The transfer component 3 is located on one side of the hopper 1 and includes a pusher 31 and a support 32 staggered in height. The support 32 is fixedly located between the hoppers 1, and the pusher 31 moves between the support 32 of two adjacent sets of transfer components 3. The first driving component 2 is a first cylinder, which drives the pusher 31 to move along the support 32. Multiple sets of transfer components 3 are arranged in a stepped manner. The transfer component 3 includes at least a first transfer component 5 and a second transfer component 6. The support 32 of the first transfer component 5 and the pusher 31 of the second transfer component 6 are on the same inclined plane. The inner bottom wall of the hopper 1 is inclined downward toward the pusher 31 of the first transfer component 5, and the pusher 31 of the first transfer component 5 and the inner bottom wall of the hopper 1 are on the same inclined plane. The end face of the support 32 of the second transfer component 6 is inclined toward the conveying component 4.

[0040] The fuse tube rolls along the inner bottom wall of the hopper 1 to the pusher 31 of the first transfer member 5. When the first drive member 2 drives the pusher 31 of the first transfer member 5 upward to be on the same inclined plane as the support member 32, the fuse tube rolls onto the pusher 31 of the second transfer member 6 and rolls along the support member 32 of the second transfer member 6 towards the conveyor 4. During the upward pushing process, the pusher adjusts the posture of the fuse tube along the side wall of the support member 32, making the posture of the fuse tube consistent, thereby improving the feeding accuracy of the fuse tube.

[0041] In some embodiments, a guide 7 is provided between the support 32 of the second transfer member 6 and the conveyor 4, wherein the height of the support 32 is higher than that of the conveyor 4, and the guide 7 is inclined toward the conveyor 4. This allows the fuse tube to roll more stably from the end face of the support 32 toward the conveyor 4 along the guide 7, further ensuring the accurate orientation of the fuse tube.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first driving member 2 is connected to a pushing block 8, which has stepped portions 9. One end of the pushing member 31 abuts against different stepped portions 9. When the first driving member 2 drives the pushing block 8 to move, the stepped portions 9 simultaneously push different pushing members 31 to a position on the same inclined plane as the support member 32. Here, the pushing members 31 and the support member 32 on the same inclined plane are interpreted as the pushing members 31 and the support member 32 of the same group of transfer members 3 being on the same inclined plane. This allows different pushing members 31 to be pushed simultaneously, enabling the simultaneous pushing of fuse tubes from different layers of support members 32, thus improving feeding efficiency.

[0043] In this embodiment, the stepped portion 9 also has a position corresponding to the bottom of the support member 32. When the push block 8 moves to the step portion 9 and abuts against the support member 32, the support member 32 and the push member 31 are on the same inclined surface, that is, the support member 32 moves into place.

[0044] Refer again Figure 1 In some embodiments, at least one set of transfer members 3 is further provided between the first transfer member 5 and the second transfer member 6. In this embodiment, one set of transfer members 3 is provided between the first transfer member 5 and the second transfer member 6, that is, a total of three sets of transfer members 3. In other embodiments, more sets may be provided, so that the fuse tube can continuously adjust its posture on the transfer members 3, so as to achieve more stable feeding.

[0045] In some embodiments, the conveyor 4 includes a conveyor belt and limiting members 43 disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt and arranged along the length direction of the conveyor 4. The conveyor 4 also includes a motor 42, which drives the conveyor belt 41 to convey. The limiting member 43 at the corresponding position of the guide member 7 is provided with a clearance groove for the fuse tube to pass through. The limiting member 43 can better maintain the posture of the fuse tube, thereby improving the feeding process.

[0046] In some embodiments, a sensor 10 is disposed above the downstream corresponding position of the conveyor 4. This provides accurate signal feedback for subsequent clamping, flipping, and other operations, thereby achieving automated control.

[0047] In some embodiments, a blocking member 11 is provided downstream of the conveying member 4 to block the fuse tube body. The blocking member 11 is used to block the transmission position of the fuse tube body.

[0048] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a flipping assembly 12 is also included, which includes a second drive member 121, a third drive member 122 and a clamping member 123. The second drive member 121 drives the third drive member 122 to flip to a position downstream of the conveyor 4, and the third drive member 122 drives the clamping member 123 to clamp the fuse tube.

[0049] In some embodiments, the flipping assembly 12 further includes a rotating shaft 124 and a rotating gear 125. The rotating gear 125 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 124, and the rotating shaft 124 is connected to the third driving member 122. The output end of the second driving member 121 has a rotating tooth that meshes with the rotating gear 125. The movement of the output end of the second driving member 121 causes the rotating tooth to drive the rotating gear 125 to rotate, thereby flipping the third driving member 122.

[0050] The second driving component 121 is a telescopic cylinder, with rotating teeth extending along the length of the piston rod. The third driving component 122 is a clamping cylinder. When the telescopic cylinder is driven, the rotating teeth drive the rotating gear 125 to rotate, causing the third driving component 122 to flip downstream of the conveyor 4. The third driving component 122 then drives the clamping component 123 to clamp the fuse tube. A gap is left between the blocking component 11 and the limiting component 43, allowing the clamping component 123 to pass through from both sides and clamp the end of the fuse tube, enabling more stable and accurate clamping. The clamping component 123 has a contoured groove that fits the shape of the fuse tube end, enabling more stable clamping of the fuse tube.

[0051] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, an opening clamping component 13 is also included. The opening clamping component 13 is used to open the product clamp, while the flipping component 12 flips the clamped fuse tube into the product clamp. The opening clamping component 13 releases the product clamp, and the product clamp holds the fuse tube. The opening clamping component 13 has the same structure as the opening clamping mechanism in the patent with patent publication number CN223426063U. The product clamp is the clamp for holding the ceramic tube in the patent, which will not be described again here. The flipping component 12 flips the fuse tube on the conveyor 4. While the flipping component 12 flips back to its original position, the opening clamping component 13 opens the product clamp, and the fuse tube enters into the product clamp. The opening clamping component 13 releases the product clamp, and the product clamp holds the fuse tube. After loading, the fuse tube can be transferred to the next process through the product clamp.

[0052] The implementation principle of a fuse tube feeding mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: the fuse tube rolls onto the pusher 31. As the pusher 31 moves upward along the side of the support 32, the angle of the fuse tube is further adjusted. When the pusher 31 is aligned with the support 32, the fuse tube rolls onto the support 32. Through the setting of the multi-stage transfer members 3, the posture of the fuse tube is stabilized, so that the support 32 of the second transfer member 6 rolls onto the conveyor 4, allowing the fuse tube to roll onto the conveyor 4 in a stable posture for conveying, thereby improving the feeding accuracy and production efficiency.
