[0004] In addition, a method has also emerged in which a robot arm grabs a material tube or a carrier to effectively improve the above problems. However, when the rotating shaft of the winding machine can wind a plurality of bobbins at one time, the operation of the robot arm becomes difficult, the interval between the material tubes cannot be effectively adjusted, the winding process cannot be carried out smoothly, and the productivity cannot be increased. There are drawbacks and problems, and further research and development for creation are required.

The suction mechanisms are capable of suctioning the material tubes to be introduced, the spacing control mechanism controls the spacing between adjacent material tubes, and the displacement mechanism introduces the material tubes into the winding machine so that they are wound up. In this way, the shortcomings of conventional single-tube material transport can be improved, material transport time can be effectively saved, it can be adapted to a one-stop operation of bobbin winding, productivity can be increased, and advantages can be achieved.

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications are possible within the described scope. Embodiments obtained by appropriately combining the technical means disclosed in different embodiments are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

FIG. 4 is an external perspective view of the introduction device according to an embodiment of the present invention viewed from another angle.

[0016] The introduction device for transporting the thread core material tube according to the present invention mainly has an introduction device (2) installed on a machine body (1). The front end of the introduction device (2) corresponds to a winding machine (3), and the rear end corresponds to a material storage device (7). The machine body (1) can be driven to displace the introduction device (2) forward and backward, left and right, and up and down. The introduction device (2) includes the following components. Each of them will be described below.

[0017] The main frame (21) is attached to be connected to the machine body (1), and a material transport passage (211) on which the material tube (A) can be placed is connected to one side.

[0018] The displacement mechanism (22) is attached to the main frame (21), includes a movable plate (221), a slide rail set (222) is installed between the movable plate (221) and the main frame (21), and a rack (223) is installed on the movable plate (221). A first power source (224) is installed on the main frame (21), and the power gear (225) at the output shaft end thereof is meshed with the rack (223) so as to drive the movable plate (221) to be displaceable relative to the main frame (21).

[0019] The interval control mechanism (23) is assembled on the movable plate (221) and includes a platform (231) attached to the movable plate (221). A plurality of groove holes (232) are provided on the end face of the platform (231), and a guide rod (233) is installed below. A second power source (234) is installed on the side of the platform (231) corresponding to the groove holes (232), and a connecting member (235) is installed at the output shaft end thereof. The connecting member (235) penetrates through the groove holes (232) and a slide block (236) is installed thereon. The slide block (236) is penetrated corresponding to the guide rod (233), and the second power source (234) can drive the slide block (236) to be displaced on the guide rod (233).

[0020] Multiple suction mechanisms (24) are each attached to the slide block (236), and each suction mechanism (24) is equipped with a third power source (241) attached to the slide block (236), and a substrate (242) is mounted on the output shaft end thereof. One or more suction cup units (243) are attached to the substrate (242), and the suction cup units (243) are capable of entering a material tube (A) that is introduced into the material transport passage (211) to draw in the material.

[0021] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 5, in the actual installation operation, the introduction device (2) according to the present invention is attached to the machine body (1), and the machine body (1) is equipped with a lateral mechanism (4) that enables the introduction device (2) to be driven to be displaced in the forward / backward, left / right, and up / down directions [and in the XYZ directions], a vertical mechanism (5), and a lifting mechanism (6). However, since the lateral mechanism (4), the vertical mechanism (5), and the lifting mechanism (6) are not the main features of this invention, their explanation will not be repeated here. Furthermore, the front end of the introduction device (2) corresponds to the winding machine (3), and the rear end corresponds to the material storage device (7). The material storage device (7) stores a plurality of material tubes (A) and is equipped with a mechanism to push them into the material transport passage (211) of the introduction device (2). The material storage device (7) includes the following components. Each of these will be described below.

[0022] The material storage box (71) has an internal space (711) for storing material tubes (A), and a material inlet (712) is provided above one end face of the material storage box (71), and a material outlet (713) is provided below the other end face. In the internal space (711), a plurality of inclined guide plates (714) are sequentially installed from the material input port (712) to the material discharge port (713), and two adjacent inclined guide plates (714) are arranged alternately in the vertical direction, forming a curved material transport passage (B).

[0023] The two material stopping members include a first material stopping member (72) and a second material stopping member (73), which are attached to the inclined guide plate (714) connected to the material discharge port (713) so as to penetrate it. The first material retaining member (72) is adjacent to the material discharge port (713), and the second material retaining member (73) is located on one side of the first material retaining member (72) and spaced apart from the material discharge port (713), and the material tube (A) can be accommodated between the first material retaining member (72) and the second material retaining member (73). The first material stopping member (72) and the second material stopping member (73) are, under controlled power, extendable through the oblique guide plate (714) to stop the material tube (A) or to contract and release the material tube (A) so that it is led out, and the first material stopping member (72) and the second material stopping member (73) perform different extension or contraction movements.

[0024] The material transport hopper (74) is installed at the material discharge port (713) and is used to connect the material tube (A) that is being led out. An extrusion unit (75) is installed at the end of the material transport hopper (74), and the extrusion unit (75) pushes out the material tube (A) located inside the material transport hopper (74).

[0025] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 8, the quantity to be input to the material tube (A) at one time is set based on the winding machine (3) equipment. Here, we will give an example, and the figure shows an example in which three material tubes (A) are input at one time. In the actual operation, the multiple material tubes (A) are stored in the internal space (711) of the material storage device (7), and a partition plate (715) is installed on the inclined guide plate (714) to divide the internal space (711) into compartments for transporting the material tubes (A). The material tube (A) is inserted from the material input port (712) and transported by the inclined guide plate (714), and the material tube (A) is rolled from top to bottom along the material transport curved passage (B) to the material discharge port (713). First, it is restricted by the first material retaining member (72) which extends into the internal space (711). At this time, the second material retaining member (73) is in a contracted state. Next, the first material stopping member (72) is driven by power to contract inward, and the second material stopping member (73) extends synchronously, causing the first material tube (A), which is restricted by the first material stopping member (72), to fall into the material transport hopper (74) via the inclined guide plate (714), and the second material stopping member (73) extends to stop the second material tube (A). Next, the second material retaining member (73) is again retracted by power, and the first material retaining member (72) is extended, causing the retracted second material retaining member (73) to release the second material tube (A) and to drop the second material tube (A) downwards so as to be restricted by the first material retaining member (72). By performing the above actions in a redundant manner, the transport of the material tube (A) is achieved as the two stopper plates move up and down (see Figures 6 and 7).

[0026] In this case, as shown in Figures 1 to 8, the three material tubes (A) fall simultaneously into the material transport hopper (74), and then the lateral mechanism (4), vertical mechanism (5), and lifting mechanism (6) of the machine body (1) can drive the introduction device (2) to be displaced in the forward / backward, left / right, and up / down directions [and in the XYZ directions]. The material transport passage (211) of the introduction device (2) corresponds to the material transport hopper (74), and the extrusion unit (75) at the end of the material transport hopper (74) pushes the three material tubes (A) inside the material transport hopper (74) into the material transport passage (211). Furthermore, a channel (741) is installed in the material transport hopper (74), and the channel (741) passes through the extrusion unit (75) in order to push the material tube (A) so as to displace it to the material transport passage (211), and the extrusion unit (75) may be used as a linear guide (see Figure 8).

[0027] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 4, Figures 9 and 10, after the material tube (A) enters the material transport passage (211), the suction mechanism (24) in the introduction device (2) drives the third power source (241) to move the substrate (242) drive suction cup unit (243) into the material tube (A) which is being introduced into the material transport passage (211) by suction (see Figure 9). However, since the introduced material tubes (A) move so as to stick together, there is no gap between the two material tubes (A) [which would affect the winding operation], and the spacing control mechanism (23) is used to drive the connecting member (235) to displace the slide block (236) located on the guide rod (233) using the output shaft end of the second power source (234). In this way, the suction mechanism (24) attached to the slide block (236) can be displaced together with it. Each second power source (234) adjusts the gap between two adjacent material tubes (A) by displacing the adsorption mechanism (24) accordingly (see Figure 10). Furthermore, in the introduction device (2), the second power source (234) of the interval control mechanism (23) drives the other adsorption mechanisms (24) to be displaced, with the adsorption mechanism (24) as the reference.

[0028] Furthermore, a fixing plate (237) is installed on the connecting member (235) and the slide block (236). The connecting member (235) is mounted on the side of the fixing plate (237) so as to correspond to it, the slide block (236) is attached to the end face so as to correspond to it, and a third power source (241) is attached to the other end face.

[0029] Next, referring to Figures 11 to 12, the material tube (A), with its gap adjusted, is introduced into the winding machine (3) by the displacement mechanism (22). The operation involves the first power source (224) driving the power gear (225) to displace the rack (223), and with the assistance of the slide rail assembly (222), the movable plate (221) moving relative to the main frame (21), causing the spacing control mechanism (23), the suction mechanism (24), and the material tube (A) on the platform (231) to be displaced together. When the material tube (A) reaches a predetermined position in the winding machine (3), the suction mechanism (24) releases the material tube (A), and the platform (231) exits the winding machine (3) and returns to its original position.

[0030] Following the above description, when the platform (231) of the introduction device (2) enters in a position corresponding to the winding machine (3), the lateral mechanism (4), vertical mechanism (5), and lifting mechanism (6) of the machine body (1) first displace it in the forward / backward, left / right, and up / down directions [and in the XYZ directions], and then the material tube (A) can be accurately input into the winding machine (3) by the introduction device (2). The machine body (1) is further equipped with a movable conveyor (8), which receives wound bobbins and places them in a corresponding manner.

[0031] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. Embodiments obtained by appropriately combining the technical means devised for each of the different embodiments are also included within the technical scope of the present invention.
