The present invention relates to an IC tube automatic aligning device. In particular, the IC tubes supplied to the chamber are aligned in one direction by the deviation of the center of gravity of the IC tubes and the resistance of the air injected from the nozzles.

By separating and supplying the IC tube (1). In FIG. 1B, when the operator directly determines the direction of the IC tube 1 and vertically stacks the guide tube 3 in the vertical loading manner, the cylinder 4 and the cylinder 5 sequentially operate to form the IC tube. (1) is supplied one by one.

The horizontal and vertical loading type of IC tube aligning device has a small amount of input of the IC tube, so that the operator is always waiting and needs to be re-supplied immediately if necessary.

An operation process according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the above configuration. First, the operator inserts a large amount of the IC tube 1 into the chamber 10 and turns on the first and second motors 23 and 30. The IC tube 1 is inserted into the alignment groove 49 of the index wheel 27 one by one by the power of the second motor 30 transmitted by the timing belt 33, and then exits from the chamber 10. At this time, when two or more IC tubes enter the alignment groove 49, the power of the first motor 23 is transmitted by the timing belt 26 and only one index wheel is driven by the rotating roller 20. Inserted into the alignment groove 49 of the (27) and the rest will fall back to the chamber (10). The alignment groove 49 is formed on the index wheel 27 in a plurality of symmetry. When the inserted IC tube 1 is at the top dead center 'ga' of the index wheel 27, whether the first sensor 50 arrives at the position of the air flow ejected from the nozzle 34 or not. At the same time, the second sensor 51 detects the exact origin of the index wheel 27. If the results detected by the first and second sensors 50 and 51 are satisfactory, a signal is sent to the motors 23 and 30 to turn off the operations of the motors 23 and 30. At this time, one end of the alignment groove 49 is located at the bottom dead center 'B', and the third sensor 52 detects whether the IC tube 1 arrives at the unloading cylinder 45 located at the opening and closing hole 46. .

If the IC tube 1 is not detected, the third sensor 52 does not signal the first and second cylinders 35 and 47 to operate. For this reason, the up and down operation of the unloading cylinder 45 related to the first cylinder 35 is also not performed. On the other hand, when the IC tube 1 is detected in the alignment groove 49 at the bottom dead center 'I', the third sensor 52 sends a signal to the first cylinder 35 to operate. Tight mill pulley loading cylinder 45 carries tube 1 down. The conveyed tube 1 is placed in the take-out device 48 and the second cylinder 47 moves forward to the 'da' point. The transferred IC tube is fed to the next process. The second cylinder 47 returns to its original position by moving backward, and at the same time, the first cylinder 35 is driven to return the unloading cylinder 45 to the opening / closing opening 46. The interlocking relationship between the unloading cylinder 45 associated with the first cylinder 35 and the second cylinder 47 may be a tie-mill pulley room switch 36 or 37 mounted to the first cylinder 35. Is made by.

When the IC tube is not detected at the bottom dead center 'B' by the third sensor 52, the first and second cylinders 35 and 47 and the unloading cylinder 45 do not move, but only Air injection takes place from the nozzle 34 to keep the direction of the IC tube located at the point 'a'. The principle of determining the direction of the IC tube by air injection is shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B. As shown in FIG. 6A, the IC tube 1 can be inserted into the alignment groove 49 in various directions. Air is blown out from the nozzle 34 to align the IC tube 1 in a constant direction as shown in FIG. 6B. When the IC tube is detected at the bottom dead center 'B' by the third sensor 52, the first and second cylinders 35 and 47 and the unloading cylinder 45 respectively perform an operation and are not detected. Similarly to the case where it is not, the direction determination of the IC tube 1 is performed at the top dead center.

After performing a series of operating processes as described above, the first and second motors 23 and 30 are turned on again and the first sensor 50 is turned off.

This operation process is repeated repeatedly.

For the sake of understanding, the operation relationship will be described with the operation flowchart shown in FIG.

First, select either automatic or manual (block 100). In the case of the manual method, the block 101 checks again whether it is the manual method, and performs a manual operation in the block 102. In case of automatic mode, it is determined whether the Tiemill pulley is at the origin (block 103). If the mechanism is not at the origin, readjust (block 104, block 105). At the end of the home adjustment, the start switch is turned on (block 106) and the completion of loading of the tube 1 in the chamber 10 is determined (block 107). When the loading is completed, the motor is turned on (block 108), and the motors are the first motor 23 and the second motor 30. Then, it is determined whether the first sensor 50 is on (block 109), and it is determined whether the first sensor 51 is on (block 110). The first sensor 50 detects whether the tube has reached the position of the air flow, and the second sensor 51 functions to detect the exact origin of the index wheel 27. After the above steps, the motor is turned off (block 111).

Then, it is determined whether the third sensor 52 is turned on (block 112), and the third sensor 52 detects whether the tube is located on the unloading cylinder 45 at the bottom dead center 'or'. Function If the tube is detected, the unloading cylinder 45 is operated once in block 118. Whether or not the tube is detected by the third sensor 52 at the block 112, at the top dead center 'A', the tubes are aligned in a predetermined direction by air injection from the nozzle 34, The steps are as follows.

First, when 0.2 seconds have elapsed (block 113) when the tube is detected, air injection is turned on from the nozzle 34 (block 114). If 0.3 seconds have elapsed again (block 115), the Tamil mill pulley injection is turned off (block 116). Then, 0.2 seconds have elapsed so that the tube is in a stable position (block 117). The next step of block 117 is that of block 118 described above. In block 119 it is determined whether the unloading cylinder 45 is in a raised state. And, if the tube is not detected, the same step as if detected, there is only one operation step of the unloading cylinder 45 of the block 118. In the case where it is not detected, the block reference number is the same as the reference number when it is detected, and only separated by “/”. Namely, block reference numerals 113 ', 114', 115 ', 116', 117 'and 119' are indicated.

After the above steps, the motor is turned on again (block 120) and the first sensor 50 is turned off (block 121).

This completes the process of aligning and taking out the IC tube. After the process is completed in block 121, the alignment and extraction of the IC tube is automatically and continuously performed by continuing the operation from the block 109 as described above.

Based on the above configuration, the timer 200 is for initializing the central processing unit 201, and the program stored in the ROM 202 is stored by the address buses A0 to A10 and the data buses D0 to D7. The central processing unit 201 is processed. Data from the input ports 203 and 205 is passed through the bus drivers 204 and 206 to the central processing unit 201 via the data buses D0 to D7. When a signal is generated, it is read by the central processing unit 201. The output port is a latch 207 that receives data received from the central processing unit 201 via the data buses D0 to D7 from the central processing unit 201. When a signal is generated, it is output to the TR array 208 serving as an amplifier, and the relay 209 and the light emitting diode 210 are driven by this output signal.

Therefore, there is an advantage of reducing costs and improving productivity.
