As shown in fig. 2 and 3, a trunk feeding mechanism 3 is provided on the main frame 1 and feeds a trunk 300 into the rotary fly fork 2. The trunk feeding mechanism 3 may be an existing feeding mechanism. After the trunk 300 is inserted into the interior of the rotary fly fork 2, one end of the trunk 300 is extended from the end of the rotary fly fork 2 to bind with the branch 400.

As shown in fig. 4 to 7, the branch feeding mechanism 4 is disposed beside the main frame 1 and used for feeding the branch 400 to one end of the rotary fly fork 2, so as to bind the branch 400 on the trunk 300 by a binding wire.

The wire winding supply mechanism is provided on the main frame 1 and is used to supply binding wire so that the binding wire is wound around the trunk 300 as the rotary flyers 2 rotate when the rotary flyers 2 rotate to bind the branches 400 to the trunk 300.

Such that the jaws 611 of the first clamp assembly 61 serve both a clamping function and a supporting function.

As shown in fig. 12-14, the cannula feed assembly 62 includes a feed block 621 having a feed slot 6211 and a feed nozzle 6212. The supply nozzle 6212 is located at an outer wall of one side of the supply block 621, and specifically, the supply nozzle 6212 horizontally extends outward from the outer wall of one side of the supply block 621. The supply nozzle 6212 communicates with the supply tank 6211, and the supply nozzle 6212 is configured to communicate with an external blowing mechanism to blow the sleeve into the supply tank 6211 through the supply nozzle 6212 by the blowing mechanism.

Specifically, the suction hole 6301 vertically penetrates the vertical portion of the suction block 631, and the receiving hole 6302 is located at the bottom end position of the vertical portion and horizontally penetrates the vertical portion. When the suction block 631 is inserted into the supply groove 6211, the receiving hole 6302 and the supply nozzle 6212 are aligned and communicated, so that the sleeve blown from the supply nozzle 6212 can enter the receiving hole 6302 and be sucked and positioned in the receiving hole 6302 by the negative pressure in the suction hole 6301, so that the sleeve is not easily dropped during the movement with the suction block 631.

In another embodiment of the present application, the supply groove 6211 has an opening at the top of the supply block 621, so that the suction block 631 can extend into the supply groove 6211 from the top of the supply block 621, and the suction block 631 extends from the top of the supply groove 6211 to facilitate the communication between the external negative pressure and the suction hole 6301.

In another embodiment of the present application, the supply groove 6211 has an opening at a sidewall of the supply block 621 so that the suction assembly 63 moves horizontally after sucking the cannula, thereby leaving the supply groove 6211. That is to say, the first driving member 64 only needs to drive the suction assembly 63, so that the suction block 631 can horizontally move along the feeding groove 6211 to come out from the opening on one side of the feeding groove 6211 and be aligned with the trunk, and then the first driving member 64 drives the suction assembly 63 to axially move along the trunk 300, so as to sleeve the sleeve on the periphery of the trunk 300. Like this, the action stroke of absorbing subassembly 63 is fairly simple, and in the practical application in-process, can rationally design the height of absorbing piece 631 of absorbing subassembly 63 for the sleeve pipe moves out the height and the trunk 300 that feed tank 6211 after highly match, thereby the sleeve pipe in-process absorbs subassembly 63 need not to go up and down the operation, but only need move on the horizontal plane can. The openings of the top and the side walls of the supply groove 6211 communicate with each other, which facilitates the manufacturing of the suction block 631.

In another embodiment of the present application, the cannula device 6 comprises a seventh drive member connected to the suction assembly 63 for driving the suction assembly 63 axially along the trunk 300 towards or away from the first clamping assembly 61. After the first drive 64 drives the suction assembly 63 to move away from the feed slot 6211 and the cannula and the trunk 300 are axially aligned, the seventh drive drives the suction assembly 63 axially along the trunk 300 close to the first clamp assembly 61, thereby sleeving the cannula around the periphery of the trunk 300. The seventh drive drives the suction assembly 63 axially away from the first clamping assembly 61 along the trunk 300, so that the suction block 631 of the suction assembly 63 is extracted from the trunk 300; the first actuator 64 then drives the suction assembly 63 to move so that the suction block 631 enters the feed slot 6211 to be reset, ready for the next cannula.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the seventh drive member is coupled to the first clamp assembly 61 to drive the first clamp assembly 61 axially along the trunk 300 toward or away from the suction assembly 63 such that the trunk 300 penetrates a cannula positioned at the end of the suction block 631 in a manner that also accomplishes the cannula action. That is, after the sleeve on the suction block 631 is aligned with the trunk 300, the seventh driving member only needs to drive any one of the suction assembly 63 and the first clamping assembly 61, so that both the suction assembly 63 and the first clamping assembly 61 move axially along the trunk 300.

In another embodiment of the present application, the casing mechanism 6 further comprises a mounting frame 65, a first clamping assembly 61, a casing feeding assembly 62, a suction assembly 63, a first driving mechanism 64 and a seventh driving mechanism, all mounted on the mounting frame 65. The installation frame 65 and the main frame 1 are arranged at intervals, and the main frame 1 is also provided with a mechanical arm clamping jaw which integrally extracts the trunk 300 and the branch 400 which finish the binding wire from the rotary flying fork 2 and transfers the trunk and the branch to fall into the first clamping component 61 of the sleeve mechanism 6.

In another embodiment of the present application, the hook mechanism 7 includes a second driving member 71, a second clamping assembly 72, and a hook turntable 73. In order to make the construction compact, the hook mechanism 7 and the sleeve mechanism 6 are mounted together on the mounting frame 65.

As shown in fig. 15 and 16, the second clamping assembly 72 is used for clamping and fixing the trunk 300 of the assembled simulation tree. Optionally, the second clamping assembly 72 comprises an upwardly opening clamping jaw 721 and a clamping cylinder 722, the clamping jaw 721 being connected to the output of the clamping cylinder 722 for supporting and clamping the trunk 300 of the tree. The assembled simulation tree can be transferred from the sleeving mechanism 6 to the clamping jaws 721 of the hook mechanism 7 by a mechanical arm, and the clamping cylinder 722 drives the clamping jaws 721 to clamp the trunk 300 of the simulation tree. Such that the jaws 721 of the second clamping assembly 72 serve both clamping and supporting functions.

Two parallel and spaced fixing pins 731 vertically extend from one side surface of the hook turntable 73, and the distance between the two fixing pins 731 is slightly larger than the diameter of the trunk 300 of the simulation tree. One end of the trunk of the artificial tree clamped and fixed to the second clamping assembly 72 extends between the two fixing pins 731. The hook plate 73 is directly or indirectly connected to the output end of the second driving member 71, so that the second driving member 71 drives the hook plate 73 to rotate, and the two fixing pins 731 rotate accordingly. As the fixing pin 731 is rotated, the end of the trunk 300, which is sandwiched between the two fixing pins 731, is bent by the fixing pin 731 to form a hook. Such a hooking mechanism 7 is simple in structure and principle, and can automatically hook the trunk 300. And the hook mechanism 7 can be integrated on the existing simulation tree production equipment, so that a special hook device is not needed for hook processing, and the cost is saved. Moreover, after the artificial tree is assembled, the artificial tree can be directly transferred to the second clamping assembly 72 of the hook mechanism 7 in a short distance through mechanisms such as a mechanical arm and the like to be clamped and fixed and subjected to hook processing, so that the transfer time of the artificial tree can be greatly saved, the production rhythm is accelerated, and the production efficiency is improved.

In another embodiment of the present application, the hook mechanism 7 includes a rack and pinion assembly 74, and the rack and pinion assembly 74 is used as a transmission assembly and is connected between the second driving member 71 and the hook turntable 73 for power transmission. The rack and pinion assembly 74 includes a rack 741 and at least one gear, an output end of the second driving member 71 is connected to the rack 741 to drive the rack 741 to move, and the rack 741 drives the hook turntable 73 to rotate through the gear. By adding the rack and pinion assembly 74, not only is power transmission facilitated, but also the hook mechanism 7 can be flexibly arranged in structure. In practical application, the number, specification and meshing mode of the gears can be flexibly designed according to actual transmission ratio requirements.

In another embodiment of the present application, the number of gears of the rack and pinion assembly 74 is multiple and in turn drivingly connected. One of the gears is coaxially connected with the hook turntable 73, so that the rack 741 is driven by one or more gears to rotate, and the gears drive the hook turntable 73 to rotate coaxially.

In another embodiment, the number of the gears of the rack-and-pinion assembly 74 is multiple and sequentially connected in a driving manner, and one of the gears serves as the hook turntable 73, and the two fixing pins 731 are directly located on the gear, so that the rack 741 drives the gear (i.e., the hook turntable 73) to rotate through one or more gear transmissions.

Further, in another embodiment of the present application, the number of gears of the rack and pinion assembly 74 is three and is respectively identified as a first gear 742, a second gear 743, and a third gear 744. The first gear 742 is meshed with the rack 741, the second gear 743 is coaxially connected with the first gear 742 in a transmission manner, the second gear 743 is meshed with the third gear 744, and the third gear 744 is coaxially connected with the hook turntable 73 in a transmission manner. Thus, when the second driving member 71 drives the rack 741 to move, the rack 741 drives the first gear 742 to rotate, the first gear 742 drives the second gear 743 to rotate coaxially, the second gear 743 drives the third gear 744 to rotate, and finally the third gear 744 drives the hook turntable 73 to rotate coaxially.

In another embodiment of the present application, the number of the gears of the rack and pinion assembly 74 is one, the gears are engaged with the rack 741, and the gears serve as the hook turntable 73, and the fixing pin 731 is disposed on the gears.

In another embodiment of the present application, the second driving member 71 is a linear motor or a linear cylinder. In other embodiments, the second driving member 71 can directly drive the hook turntable 73 to rotate, so as to realize the hook action; in this case, the second driver 71 is a rotary cylinder or a rotary motor.

In another embodiment of the present application, the hook mechanism 7 includes a bar 75, one end of the bar 75 being positioned adjacent the end of the trunk 300 and rotating in phase with the hook wheel 73 in opposite directions to catch the end of the trunk 300 during hooking. Specifically, other rotating mechanisms may be disposed beside the hook turntable 73 to drive the barrier strip 75 to rotate, and the barrier strip 75 and the hook turntable 73 synchronously rotate in opposite directions, so that the barrier strip 75 can block the trunk 300 from moving axially in the hooking process.

In particular, in the illustrated embodiment, the bar 75 is attached to the side of the second gear 743 facing the trunk 300, and the bar 75 engages the surface of the second gear 743 and rotates with the second gear 743. Also extending from the second gear 743 toward the end of the trunk 300 is a bar 75, one end of the bar 75 abutting the end of the trunk 300 to retain the end of the trunk 300 during hooking. Specifically, when the second driving element 71 drives the hook turntable 73 to rotate sequentially through the rack 741, the first gear 742, the second gear 743 and the third gear 744, the barrier 75 synchronously rotates along with the second gear 743 as the two fixing pins 731 rotate and bend the end of the trunk 300 into a hook, and the rotating directions of the fixing pins 731 and the end of the trunk 300 are opposite to the rotating direction of the barrier 75, so that the barrier 75 can block the trunk 300 from moving axially in the hooking process. Furthermore, the barrier 75 may limit the length of the end of the trunk 300 extending from the fixing pin 731 toward the barrier 75, i.e., limit the location where the trunk 300 forms a hook, so that the hook positions of all the trunks 300 are uniform.

It can be understood that the barrier strip 75 is directly disposed on the second gear 743, so that the barrier strip 75 and the hook turntable 73 can rotate synchronously and oppositely, and no other rotating mechanism for driving the barrier strip 75 to rotate is additionally disposed, so that the hook mechanism 7 is compact and simple in overall structure.

In another embodiment of the present application, the hook mechanism 7 includes a third driving member 76 and a loosening block 77, and the third driving member 76 is disposed at an interval beside the second driving member 71. The loosening block 77 is located at the bottom of the trunk 300, and the third driving member 76 is connected to the loosening block 77 to drive the loosening block 77 to push the trunk 300. In the illustrated embodiment, after the end of the trunk 300 is hooked by the fixing pin 731, since the fixing pin 731 of the hook rotary disk 73 applies a downward bending force to the end of the trunk 300 during the hooking process, the trunk 300 is not easily taken out from between the two fixing pins 731, and therefore the loosening block 77 is driven by the third driving element 76 to push the trunk 300 upwards to loosen the trunk 300, thereby facilitating the removal of the trunk 300.

In another embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4 to 7, the branch feeding mechanism 4 comprises a separating mechanism 41, and the separating mechanism 41 comprises a conveyor belt 411, a fourth driving member 412 and at least one pair of magnets 413. The conveyor 411 is used for conveying the branches 400 of the simulated tree. The branches 400 are typically packaged and transported in whole boxes after production, and before the trunk 300 and the branches 400 are assembled, a plurality of disordered branches 400 need to be placed on a conveyor 411 for transportation, so that the branches 400 can be separated into single branches later.

The fourth driving member 412 is connected to the conveying belt 411 to drive the conveying belt 411 to run, so that the branches 400 on the conveying belt 411 move along with the conveying belt 411. Alternatively, the fourth driving member 412 is a motor, and an output end of the motor is connected to a rotating shaft at one end of the conveying belt 411 through a belt, so that the motor drives the conveying belt 411 to operate.

Each pair of magnets 413 is oppositely polarized and disposed on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 411. That is, one or more pairs of magnets 413 of opposite polarities are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 411. If the number of the magnets 413 is plural, plural pairs of the magnets 413 are arranged along the conveyor 411. The magnetic field intensity of the magnet 413 at the front end position in the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 411 is larger than the magnetic field intensity at the rear end position of the magnet 413, in other words, the magnetic field intensity formed by the magnet 413 gradually increases in the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 411. In the direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 411, the magnetic field intensity of the magnet 413 at a position far from the conveyor belt 411 is larger than that at a position close to the conveyor belt 411; that is, the magnetic field intensity formed by the magnet 413 is gradually increased in the vertical direction from the approach to the conveyor belt 411 to the distance from the conveyor belt 411. In this way, the magnetic lines of the magnetic field formed between the opposing magnets 413 are divergent, and the magnetic field intensity at the upper front is the strongest and the magnetic field intensity at the rear lower side is the weakest in the forward direction of the conveyor belt 411.

After the branches 400 move along with the conveyor belt 411 and enter the magnetic field, attraction is generated between magnets 413 which are arranged at positions opposite to the two sides of the conveyor belt 411 and have opposite polarities at two ends of the branches 400, so that a plurality of originally disordered branches 400 are gradually separated in sequence, and all the branches 400 are changed into posture arrangement parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 411; for example, the branches 400 originally placed on the conveyor belt 411 in an inclined posture gradually rotate by an angle under the action of the magnetic field until the branches 400 are parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 411; thus, all the branches 400 are arranged in a uniform posture with interval separation and parallel and orderly arrangement. Moreover, since the magnetic field intensity formed by the magnet 413 is gradually increased in the vertical direction from the position close to the conveyor belt 411 to the position far away from the conveyor belt 411, the branches 400 gradually leave the conveyor belt 411 and are conveyed upwards in an overhanging and inclined manner along the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 411 after entering the magnetic field, and the branches 400 can be conveniently grabbed by the subsequent grabbing mechanism 414 after leaving the conveyor belt 411 in an overhanging manner.

The material distributing mechanism 41 works as follows: firstly, a plurality of disordered branches 400 are placed on a conveyor belt 411 of the material distribution mechanism 41, a fourth driving part 412 is started to drive the conveyor belt 411 to run, and the branches 400 placed on the conveyor belt 411 move along with the conveyor belt 411 and sequentially and gradually enter a magnetic field formed by a magnet 413. Because the magnetic field formed between the magnets 413 is characterized by the strongest magnetic field strength in the upper front and weakest magnetic field strength in the lower rear along the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 411, the originally disordered branches 400 gradually form parallel and spaced orderly arrangement under the action of the magnetic field, and the branches 400 gradually separate from the conveyor belt 411 to be conveyed obliquely upwards in a hanging manner after reaching the position of the magnetic field strength, so that the material distribution process is realized.

The distribution mechanism 41 can automatically distribute the branches 400 without manual participation, so that the labor cost is saved, and the distribution efficiency is high; moreover, the branches 400 with different placing postures can be automatically changed into the branches parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 411 to be placed under the action of the magnetic field generated by the magnet 413, the branches 400 are orderly arranged at intervals in parallel, the postures are uniform, the subsequent grabbing and feeding of the branches 400 can be facilitated, the grabbing difficulty of the grabbing mechanism 414 can be reduced, and the grabbing accuracy is improved; the branch conveying mechanism 41 adopts the conveying belt 411 to convey the branches 400, is simple in overall structure and small in size, and is higher in automation degree and production efficiency compared with the prior art.

In another embodiment of the present application, the pitch of the magnets 413 located at both sides of the conveyor belt 411 is gradually decreased in the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 411. Since the smaller the spacing between the opposing magnets 413, the stronger the magnetic field intensity, such an arrangement can form the above-described "gradually increasing magnetic field intensity in the direction along the conveyor belt 411".

Likewise, in the vertical direction from the approach to the conveyor belt 411 to the distance from the conveyor belt 411, the pitch of the magnets 413 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 411 gradually decreases. Such an arrangement may form the above-described magnetic field "the magnetic field intensity is gradually increased in the vertical direction from the approach to the conveyor belt 411 to the distance from the conveyor belt 411

In another embodiment of the present application, the number of the magnets 413 is one pair, and the magnets 413 have a plate shape. And the pair of magnets 413 are arranged in a figure-of-eight shape as viewed in the advancing direction along the conveyor belt 411, so that the interval between the pair of magnets 413 is gradually decreased and the magnetic field intensity is gradually increased in the advancing direction along the conveyor belt 411. Similarly, the pair of magnets 413 are arranged in a splayed shape when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 411, so that the distance between the pair of magnets 413 gradually decreases and the magnetic field strength gradually increases in a vertical direction from the position close to the conveyor belt 411 to the position far from the conveyor belt 411.

Further, the angle between the magnet 413 and a horizontal plane parallel to the conveyor belt 411 is 5-15 °, and the angle between the magnet 413 and a vertical plane perpendicular to the conveyor belt 411 is 5-15 °. This allows the opposed pair of magnets to be arranged in a figure-of-eight shape when viewed from the direction along the belt 411 and also in a figure-of-eight shape when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the belt 411. And when the included angle formed between the magnets 413 and the horizontal plane is 5-15 degrees, the magnetic field intensity formed between the magnets 413 is moderate, so that the branches 400 can be converted into a uniform posture parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 411 under the action of the magnetic field. Similarly, when the angle formed by the magnets 413 and the vertical plane is between 5 and 15 °, the magnetic field intensity formed between the magnets 413 is moderate, so that the branches 400 can be gradually separated from the conveyor belt 411 and conveyed obliquely upwards under the action of the magnetic field.

In another embodiment of the present application, the number of the magnets 413 may be a plurality of pairs, and the plurality of pairs of magnets 413 are spaced along the conveyor belt 411. The magnets on the same side of the conveyor belt 411 in the advancing direction along the conveyor belt 411 are arranged to form an oblique straight line, so that pairs of magnets 413 on both sides of the conveyor belt 411 are arranged in a figure-of-eight shape as viewed in the advancing direction along the conveyor belt 411. The distance between each pair of magnets 413 is gradually reduced in the vertical direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 411, and the angle between each pair of magnets 413 and the vertical plane is the same, so that the plurality of pairs of magnets 413 are arranged in a splayed shape when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 411. In practical applications, the size and number of the magnets 413 can be flexibly set according to needs.

In another embodiment of the present application, the material distribution mechanism 41 includes a grabbing mechanism 414, the grabbing mechanism 414 is disposed beside the conveyor 411, and the grabbing mechanism 414 is used for grabbing the branches 400 which have left the conveyor 411 and carrying the branches 400 to a designated position, so as to convey the loading of the branches 400 to the main frame 1 in the subsequent process. Specifically, after the branches 400 enter the magnetic field along with the conveyor 411, the branches 400 are gradually separated into parallel arrangement at intervals and conveyed obliquely upward under the action of the magnetic field, and at this time, the grabbing mechanism 414 acts to grab the branches 400 that are suspended off the conveyor 411 one by one and convey the branches to a designated position.

In another embodiment of the present application, the gripping mechanism 414 includes a guide rail 4141, a moving cylinder 4142, and a clamping jaw 4143, the guide rail 4141 is installed at one side of the conveyor 411 in parallel, the clamping jaw 4143 is slidably connected to the guide rail 4141, and the moving cylinder 4142 is connected to the clamping jaw 4143 to drive the clamping jaw 4143 to reciprocate along the guide rail 4141. When the branches 400 move to a preset position and are separated from the conveyor belt 411 and conveyed upwards in an inclined mode, the clamping jaws 4143 act to clamp the branches 400, then the moving air cylinders 4142 drive the clamping jaws 4143 to move, so that the branches 400 are conveyed to the preparing position and the branches 400 are released, and then the moving air cylinders 4142 drive the clamping jaws 4143 to move reversely to reset, so that the next grabbing action is prepared.

In another embodiment of the present application, the gripping mechanism 414 further comprises a lifting cylinder connected to the clamping jaw 4143 to drive the clamping jaw 4143 to lift. For example, a mounting plate may be fixed to an end of the moving cylinder 4142, a lifting cylinder may be mounted to the other side of the mounting plate, and the holding claw 4143 may be mounted to an end of the lifting cylinder. Therefore, in the work process, the clamping jaw 4143 can be controlled to move horizontally by the moving cylinder 4142, and the clamping jaw 4143 can be controlled to lift by the lifting cylinder, so that the clamping jaw 4143 can be controlled to clamp the branches 400 more accurately.

In another embodiment of the present application, the grasping mechanism 414 further includes a rotary cylinder coupled to the jaw 4143 to drive the jaw 4143 to rotate. In practical applications, the gripping mechanism 414 may include a movable cylinder 4142, a lifting cylinder, and a rotary cylinder, and during assembly, a mounting plate may be fixed to an end of the movable cylinder 4142, the lifting cylinder is installed at the other side of the mounting plate, the rotary cylinder is installed at an end of the lifting cylinder, and the clamping jaw 4143 is installed on the rotary cylinder. In this way, during operation, the clamping jaw 4143 can be controlled to move horizontally by the moving cylinder 4142, the clamping jaw 4143 can be controlled to move up and down by the lifting cylinder, and the clamping jaw 4143 can also be rotated by the rotating cylinder. It can be understood that the branches 400 have a head and a tail, and although the branches 400 can be turned to be parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 411 under the action of the magnetic field after entering the magnetic field, in the actual production process, part of the heads of the branches 400 face the gripping mechanism 414, and the other branches 400 have tails facing the gripping mechanism 414, that is, the postures of the branches 400 are opposite to each other by 180 °. Considering that the heads of all the branches 400 need to face the same direction in the subsequent process, the additionally arranged rotary cylinder can drive the clamping jaw 4143 to rotate for 180 degrees, so that the grasped oppositely placed iron wire branches 400 are rotated for 180 degrees, and finally all the branches 400 are released to the designated position in the same direction.

In another embodiment of the present application, the separating mechanism 41 further includes a detecting mechanism 415, and the detecting mechanism 415 is disposed beside the conveyor 411 and is used for detecting the orientation of the two ends of the branches 400. In the illustrated embodiment, the detection mechanism 415 is a visual detection mechanism, such as a CCD detection camera, and the detection mechanism 415 is erected on one side of the conveyor belt 411 by a bracket 416. In order to facilitate the overall layout of the feed mechanism 41, the detection mechanism 415 and the grasping mechanism 414 are respectively located at opposite sides of the conveyor belt 411. When the device works, the CCD detection camera performs photographing detection on the head or the tail of the branch 400, and when the head and tail orientation of the branch 400 is detected to be not in accordance with requirements, the grabbing mechanism 414 grabs the branch 400 and then drives the branch 400 to rotate for 180 degrees through the rotary cylinder, so that the placing posture of the branch 400 is in accordance with the requirements.

In another embodiment of the present application, the feed mechanism 41 includes an adjustment screw 417, a mounting frame 418, and a mounting housing 419. The mounting frame 418 is provided with a mounting plate 4181 and a slide rail 4182, the slide rail 4182 is fixedly disposed on the mounting plate 4181. The mounting case 419 has a mounting space for fixing the magnet 413 therein. The number of the mounting housings 419 is plural, and the magnets 413 are fixedly mounted in the mounting housings 419 in one-to-one correspondence. The mounting housing 419 may function to protect the magnet 413. The opposing magnets 413 are slidably disposed at both ends of the slide rail 4182 through the mounting housing 419. The conveyor belt 411 is mounted above the slide rail 4182 and passes between the opposing magnets 413. The opposing magnets 413 are coupled to opposite ends of an adjustment screw 417 through mounting housings 419, respectively, and the adjustment screw 417 is located at the bottom of the opposing magnets 413. The opposite thread directions of the two ends of the adjusting screw 417 are opposite, that is, the two ends of the adjusting screw 417 are opposite, so that the adjusting magnets 413 move toward or away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the opposite magnets 413. By arranging the adjusting screw 417, the distance between the opposite magnets 413 can be flexibly adjusted according to the difference of the lengths of the branches 400.

Alternatively, in order to facilitate smooth sliding of the magnets 413, the number of the slide rails 4182 is plural, for example, two, the plural slide rails 4182 are laid in parallel on the mounting plate 4181, and each magnet 413 is mounted on the plural slide rails 4182 through the mounting housing 419. The adjusting screw 417 is parallel to the slide rail 4182 and is located between two adjacent slide rails 4182, and the adjusting screw 417 is in threaded connection with a mounting housing 419 in which a magnet 413 is arranged. When the adjusting screw 417 is rotated, the two opposing magnets 413 move in opposite directions.

The material separating mechanism 41 further includes a conveying mechanism disposed on one side of the material separating mechanism 41. After the distribution mechanism 41 divides the multiple disordered branches 400 into multiple branches, a predetermined number of branches 400 are conveyed to one end of the rotary fly fork 2 by the conveying mechanism, so as to subsequently fix the trunk 300 and the branches 400 together by binding wires.

After the branch 400 and the trunk 300 are wound and bound together by using the binding wire, the binding wire is fused and fixed by the thread end fixing mechanism 5. Specifically, the thread end fixing mechanism 5 includes a bracket 51, a thread hooking mechanism 52, and a heat-fusion mechanism 53.

As shown in fig. 8 and 9, the bracket 51 is used to mount and support the thread hooking mechanism 52 and the heat-fusing mechanism 53.

The thread hooking mechanism 52 includes a hooking member 521, a clamping member 522 and a fifth driving member 523. The end of the hooking piece 521 has a hook portion 5211 for hooking the binding-wire. The hook portions 5211 are bent upward such that the hook portions 5211 are easily hooked to the binding-wire and the binding-wire is not easily released from the hook portions 5211.

When the hooking member 521 hooks the binding-wire, the fifth driving member 523 drives the clamp member 522 to approach the hook portion 5211 to clamp and fix the binding-wire between the clamp member 522 and the hook portion 5211.

The heat fusing mechanism 53 is provided to the holder 51. The heat fusing mechanism 53 serves to fuse and fix the binding-wire. After the hooking piece 521 and the clamping piece 522 of the thread hooking mechanism 52 clamp and fix the binding thread, the hot melting mechanism 53 is close to and contacts the binding thread, so that the binding thread is fused under the action of heat of the hot melting mechanism 53, the end part of the thread after the binding thread is fused is fixed with the binding thread under the action of heat, and the binding thread is not easy to loosen. In addition, the method of fusing the binding wire is adopted, the length of the residual thread end of the binding wire is shorter than that of the thread end and the like residual in the conventional cutting method, and therefore the thread end is not easy to interfere with other actions. After the binding-wire is fused and fixed, the fifth driving member 523 drives the clamping member 522 to move reversely, so that the clamping member 522 is far away from the hook portion 5211, and the distance between the end of the clamping member 522 and the hook portion 5211 is restored to be increased, so that the hooking member 521 is ready to hook the next wire.

In another embodiment of the present application, the clip 522 slidably engages the hook 521. Specifically, the hooking member 521 is a long rod-shaped structure, and one end of the hooking member 521 has a hook portion 5211 bent upward. The holding member 522 is also substantially in the shape of a long rod and is attached to one side surface of the hooking portion 5211 of the hooking member 521 in the bending direction, and a small distance is formed between the end of the holding member 522 and the hooking portion 5211 for the binding thread to pass through. When the binding-wire is hooked by the hook portion 5211, the fifth driving member 523 drives the clamp 522 to approach the hook portion 5211, so that the interval between the end of the clamp 522 and the hook portion 5211 is gradually decreased until the binding-wire is clamped between the hook portion 5211 and the clamp 522, so that the binding-wire is fused by the subsequent heat fusing mechanism 53. The assembly mode that the clamping piece 522 is attached to the hooking piece 521 is adopted, so that the assembly volume of the clamping piece 522 and the hooking piece 521 can be reduced.

In other embodiments, the clamp 522 may be provided at the top of the hook portion 5211, and the clamp 522 is moved downward from the top of the hook portion 5211, thereby clamping the binding-wire between the hook portion 5211 and the clamp 522. In this case, the clip 522 does not abut the hook 521.

Optionally, the fifth driver 523 is a motor or a cylinder. The fifth driving member 523 drives the gripping member 522 to reciprocate along the longitudinal direction thereof.

In another embodiment of the present application, the thread hooking mechanism 52 further comprises a fixing sheath 524, wherein the fixing sheath 524 is substantially in the shape of a long cylinder, and the fixing sheath 524 has a tubular cavity therein. The long-rod-shaped hooking piece 521 and the clamping piece 522 are attached, and then one end of each of the hooking piece 521 and the clamping piece 522 is mounted inside the fixing sleeve 524, and the other end of the hooking piece 521 and the other end of the clamping piece 522 extend out of the fixing sleeve 524, that is, the other end of the hook portion 5211 of the hooking piece 521 and the other end of the clamping piece 522 are located outside the fixing sleeve 524. The securing sleeve 524 serves to fit the hook 521 and the clip 522 together. The fifth driving member 523 is mounted at an end of the fixing sleeve 524 away from the hook portion 5211, and an output end of the fifth driving member 523 extends into the fixing sleeve 524 and is connected with the clamping member 522, so that the structure is compact.

In another embodiment of the present application, the heat-fusing mechanism 53 is a heat gun. The end part of the hot air gun is provided with a hot air outlet, and the hot air blown out when the hot air gun faces the binding wire can fuse and fix the binding wire.

In other embodiments, the heat staking mechanism 53 is an electromagnetic coil. After the electromagnetic induction coil is electrified and heated, the electromagnetic induction coil is close to or contacts the binding wire, so that the binding wire can be fused and fixed.

In another embodiment of the present application, the heat melting mechanism 53 and the thread hooking mechanism 52 are disposed in parallel and side by side on the bracket 51. The thread hooking mechanism 52 and the hot melting mechanism 53 act in sequence to respectively perform thread hooking and fusing actions; the two are arranged side by side, so that the assembly volume can be reduced conveniently, and the layout of each functional area in the simulation tree production equipment is facilitated.

In another embodiment of the present application, the thread end fixing mechanism 5 further includes a sixth driving element 54, and the sixth driving element 54 is connected to the thread hooking mechanism 52 and/or the heat-melting mechanism 53 to drive the thread hooking mechanism 52 and/or the heat-melting mechanism 53 to move. The position of the thread hooking mechanism 52 and/or the heat fusing mechanism 53 can be adjusted by the sixth driving member 54, so that the actions of hooking and fusing the binding thread can be more accurately performed. Alternatively, the sixth driving member 54 is a motor or a cylinder.

In another embodiment of the present application, the thread end fixing mechanism 5 includes a mounting plate 55, the mounting plate 55 is slidably disposed on the bracket 51, the thread hooking mechanism 52 and the heat-melting mechanism 53 are both mounted on the mounting plate 55, and an output end of the sixth driving member 54 is connected to the mounting plate 55 to drive the thread hooking mechanism 52 and the heat-melting mechanism 53 to move synchronously. Because the action objects of the thread hooking mechanism 52 and the hot melting mechanism 53 are binding threads, the thread hooking mechanism 52 and the hot melting mechanism 53 can be synchronously moved to a preset position without arranging two driving pieces to respectively drive the thread hooking mechanism 52 and the hot melting mechanism 53, so that the cost of one driving piece can be saved, and the whole structure is simpler and more compact.

The simulation tree production equipment has the following advantages: firstly, the branch mechanism 41 gradually forms the branches 400 to be orderly arranged at intervals under the action of magnetic force, the branches can be automatically separated and can be rightly arranged, the branch grabbing difficulty is low, manual distribution is not needed, and the branch distributing effect is good.

Second, the mode fusing of 5 hot melts of end of a thread fixed establishment ties up the line, and the end of tying up the line can not remain longer end of a thread, even if remain the short end of a thread of segment also can be under thermal effect hot melt and fixed, and it is fixed firm to tie up the line like this, is difficult to not hard up, and the end of a thread can not produce the interference to follow-up other actions.

Thirdly, the sleeving mechanism 6 is separated from the main frame 1 and can independently operate as an independent part, so that sleeving action and binding action are not influenced mutually, and the sleeving mechanism 6 can receive the simulation tree which finishes binding from a plurality of rotating flying forks 2 which operate simultaneously to perform sleeving, so that the production efficiency is improved.

Fourthly, the hook mechanism 7 is integrated, special hook equipment is not needed, cost is saved, and the hook mechanism 7 is simple in structure and convenient to operate. The bars 75 enable positioning of the trunk 300 such that the hook positions of all trunks 300 are uniform.
