It should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships of the "horizontal," "longitudinal," "vertical," and the like in the embodiments of the present invention are described based on the orientations and positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for convenience of simplifying the description, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the embodiment discloses an automatic product material tube feeding device, which includes a frame 1, and the frame 1 is provided with a material tube supplying device 3, a material tube receiving and conveying device 4, a material tube positioning device 5, a product pushing device 6, and a product feeding and conveying device 7.

The material pipe supply device 3 is used for separating a plurality of product material pipes 2 stored in a stacked mode and sequentially releasing the bottommost product material pipe 2 (omitting products); a plurality of layers of partitions a (see fig. 4) are arranged in each product material pipe 2 at intervals, and a plurality of products b (see fig. 6) are stored on each layer of partitions a. The tube receiving and conveying device 4 is used for receiving the released product tube 2 and conveying the product tube to a feeding position. The tube positioning device 5 is used for positioning the product tube 2 at the feeding position to prevent the product tube from moving vertically and/or longitudinally. The product pushing device 6 is used for sequentially pushing the products b on each layer of partition a in the positioned product material pipe 2, so that all the products b on each layer of partition a are separated from the product material pipe 2 one by one and move to the upper material level; the product-feed handling device 7 is used to handle the product b moving to the upper level to a downstream production location. The sequential promotion specifically means: after all the products b on one layer of partition a are pushed out one by one to the upper material level and are conveyed (the product b farthest from the product pushing device 6 is pushed out to the upper material level first, and the product b nearest to the product pushing device 6 is pushed out to the upper material level last), all the products b on the next layer of partition a are pushed out one by one to the upper material level and are conveyed, so that the conveying of the products b on all the partitions a is completed, and the product material pipe 2 is changed into an empty material pipe.

The machine frame 1 mainly comprises a bottom plate 11, a vertical plate 12 arranged on the bottom plate 11 and a connecting rib plate 13 connected between the bottom plate 11 and the vertical plate 12, wherein the bottom of the vertical plate 12 is provided with a mounting opening.

The specific structure and working process of each device are explained in detail in the following process sequence:

as shown in fig. 1 to 3 and 10, in this embodiment, the material pipe supply device 2 includes a frame body 31 disposed on the bottom plate 11 and having a U-shaped frame structure, an inner space of the frame body 31 is used for avoiding the material pipe receiving and conveying device 4, a storage bin 32 is disposed on the frame body 31, and a plurality of product material pipes 2 are vertically stacked and stored in the storage bin 32; the bin 32 is provided with tube separation modules 33 for releasing the bottommost product tube 2 and supporting the remaining product tube 2 along both sides of the length direction.

Wherein: the storage bin 32 is of a rectangular frame structure and comprises two first baffles 321 (the bottoms of which are longitudinally provided with avoidance notches 3211) arranged at intervals transversely and two second baffles 322 arranged at intervals longitudinally; the vertically extending portion of the second blocking plate 322 is fixed to the frame body 31.

The material pipe separating module 33 comprises an upper support releasing unit 331 and a lower support releasing unit 332 which are arranged on the second baffle 322 at intervals up and down; each of the upper and lower supporter releasing units 331 and 332 includes an air cylinder and a supporting plate connected to a longitudinal driving portion of the air cylinder. The lower holder release unit 332 is used to hold all the product tubes 2; the upper support release unit 331 serves to support the remaining product tube 2 for separation before the bottommost product tube 2 is released to fall; after the remaining product tubes 2 are supported, the lower support releasing unit 332 is configured to release the bottommost product tube 2; the lower holder release unit 332 is also used to hold the remaining product tube 2 released by the upper holder release unit 331 after the bottommost product tube 2 is released to fall.

For ease of understanding, the process of tube feeding is briefly described below:

before placing product material pipe 2 in feed bin 3, the cylinder action in lower bearing release unit 332 corresponds the layer board and vertically stretches out, begins to place product material pipe 2, and many all product material pipes 2 carry out the bearing. When the product material pipe 2 starts to be supplied, the cylinder in the upper support release unit 331 acts to support the remaining product material pipe 2 by extending the corresponding supporting plate longitudinally (into the penultimate product material pipe 2); then, the air cylinder in the lower support release unit 332 is reset, and the product pipe 2 at the bottommost part is released and falls; then, the air cylinder in the lower support release unit 332 operates again, and the corresponding supporting plate extends longitudinally; the air cylinder in the upper supporter release unit 331 is reset and the remaining product tube 2 falls down together and is supported by the lower supporter release unit 332. The product tubes 2 are fed one by this force.

In order to further save installation space, the introduction of docking devices (manipulators) is reduced. The material pipe supply device 3 in this embodiment is also integrated with a blank pipe recovery structure. An empty pipe supporting plate 34 is arranged below an outlet of the stock bin 32 (below a first baffle 321 positioned in the frame body 31, and a height difference for passing a running pipe is formed between the empty pipe supporting plate 34 and the first baffle 321), the empty pipe supporting plate 34 is fixedly connected with vertical extending parts of two second baffles 322, and two transversely extending avoidance ports 341 (an avoidance pipe carrying and conveying device 4 corresponds to the avoidance notch 3211) are arranged on the empty pipe supporting plate 34 at intervals; one end, deviating from the product loading and carrying device 7, of the empty pipe supporting plate 34 is connected with a storage rack 35, a protective cover 36 is arranged on the storage rack 35, and a protective door 361 which can only be pushed to open and supply the empty pipe to flow out in a one-way mode is rotatably arranged on the protective cover 36; can prevent the operator from being injured due to misoperation. When the number of empty material pipes flowing out of the storage rack 35 through the protective door 361 is too large, the sensor on the storage rack 35 gives an alarm, and the empty material pipes are required to be taken away manually.

As shown collectively in fig. 1, 4, 9 and 10, in this embodiment, the tube receiving and conveying device 4 includes a receiving mechanism 41 for receiving the product tube 2, a vertical driving mechanism 42 and a horizontal driving mechanism 43; a cross track mechanism 44 is arranged between the vertical driving mechanism 42 and the transverse driving mechanism 43; the supporting mechanism 41 is connected with a cross track mechanism 44, and the cross track mechanism 44 is used for enabling the supporting mechanism 41 to move vertically or horizontally under the driving of a vertical driving mechanism 42 or a horizontal driving mechanism 43. The vertical driving mechanism 42 is disposed on the vertical plate 12, and the horizontal driving mechanism 43 is disposed on the bottom plate 11 (one end of the horizontal driving mechanism extends out of the vertical plate 12 through the mounting opening).

In the present embodiment, the cross-track mechanism 44 includes a first track 441, a first vertical rail slider unit 442 (including a pillar, a rail, and a slider), a second track 443, and a second vertical rail slider unit 444; a first vertical rail slider unit 442 (rail and slider) is provided on the base plate 11,

the first rail 441 extends transversely, and one end of the first rail 441 is connected to a power output portion of the vertical driving mechanism 42, and the other end of the first rail is fixedly connected to a slider in the first vertical guide slider unit 442; the second vertical guide rail slider units 441 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the product material pipe 2, and are connected with the power output part of the transverse driving mechanism 43. The method specifically comprises the following steps: the power output part of the transverse driving mechanism 43 is provided with a mounting rack 445, the mounting rack 445 is composed of a base plate and two upright posts arranged at two ends of the base plate, and the second vertical guide rail slider unit 441 is fixed on the corresponding upright post. Both ends of the second rail 443 are respectively and fixedly connected with the sliders in the corresponding second vertical rail slider units 442; the second rail 443 and the first rail 441 are arranged crosswise in the horizontal plane (transverse-longitudinal plane), and are in sliding fit transversely and move synchronously vertically.

As shown in fig. 11, the second rail 443 is provided with a roller structure 446, and the side of the first rail 441 is provided with a transverse sliding groove 447 which is matched with the roller structure 446; two side walls of the transverse sliding groove 447 are used for vertically limiting the roller structure 446; thus, the roller structures 446 cooperate with the transverse slide grooves 447 to achieve relative sliding movement in the transverse direction and synchronous movement in the vertical direction.

By hiding the cross-track mechanism 44 inside the device, space is saved to the greatest extent.

In this embodiment, the receiving mechanism 41 includes two receiving parts 411 (including a U-shaped receiving part and a vertically extending connecting part) which are fixedly connected to the second rail 443 and have a fork-shaped structure, and the two receiving parts 411 are respectively adjacent to the corresponding second vertical guide slider units 442 and are respectively located at the outer sides of the corresponding second vertical guide slider units 442.

The vertical driving mechanism 42 and the horizontal driving mechanism 43 may be any linear motion mechanism such as a linear module, a servo cylinder, or a single-axis arm mechanism.

For ease of understanding, the following is a brief description of the process of empty tube recovery-new product tube handling:

the transverse driving mechanism 43 is actuated, the second rail 443 carries the two receiving members 411 (holding the empty tube) to slide transversely rightward along the first rail 441, and the receiving members 411 move to the lower part of the outlet of the adjacent bin 32 (the avoiding opening 34 can avoid the receiving members 411) to ensure that the empty tube pallet 34 is located below the empty tube 2. The vertical driving mechanism 42 operates, and the first rail 441 and the second rail 443 synchronously move downward for a certain distance, so that the empty pipe is supported by the empty pipe supporting plate 34 at this time. The vertical drive mechanism 42 continues to operate to disengage the empty pipe from the socket 411. The transverse driving mechanism 43 acts in reverse, and the second rail 443 carries the two receiving members 411 to slide transversely to the left along the first rail 441. The vertical drive mechanism 42 is then reversed to move the first and second rails 441, 443 upward in unison a certain distance. The transverse driving mechanism 43 is moved forward, the second rail 443 carries the two adapters 411 to slide transversely rightward along the first rail 441, the empty pipe is pushed onto the storage rack 35 in the protective cover 36 by using the side part of the adapters 411, and at this time, the adapters 411 are positioned below the outlet of the silo 32 (the avoiding notch 3211 can avoid the adapters 411); receives a new product tube 2 released by the tube feeding device 2.
