Tube picking and feeding device

The present invention relates to a feeding device, and more particularly to a feeding device for holding a tubular object.

As technology continues to evolve, many products that previously relied on manpower manufacturing can now be replaced with more or less mechanically. This automation trend not only improves efficiency and accuracy in production, but also eliminates the cost of the manufacturer. At the same time, let human resources be assigned to jobs that require more skillful and mechanically impossible replacement.

However, the process of manufacturing products is ever-changing, and the requirements for each process are different. Therefore, not every process can be smoothly converted from manpower to machine manufacturing. Therefore, in today's manufacturing industry, it still needs a lot of manpower to carry out many repetitions. And mechanized manufacturing processes.

Among them, the handling process of moving materials and moving finished or semi-finished products from one place to another is already very common in various manufacturing processes, mostly with mechanized arms, machines or Other means of transportation are used to replace people, but some transportation processes are still operated manually because of the specificity of their raw materials or steps.

For example, a heat pipe placed in a mobile phone or a small electronic device is often manufactured because it is small in size and between the steps and steps, if it is to be picked up and handled by an automated device such as a robot arm. The material is too dense, causing problems that are not caught or caught too much at a time. Therefore, in the prior art, such a small tubular feeding process is usually manual, one by one. The roots are taken and moved, but this manual method is not only inefficient, but also cannot properly utilize human resources. Therefore, the prior art such feeding process has its shortcomings.

In view of the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a tubular pick-and-feed device that can accurately pick up tiny tubes and send them to the correct position using automated equipment.

The following explains how to use this creation.

The purpose of this creation is to screen and capture objects in the shape of a tube, in particular a smaller, thinner tube 90. Through the automated process of the creation, the tubes 90 can be accurately clamped one by one. take.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, first, the tubular objects 90 are placed from the upper opening 12 into the side of the casing 11 near the first inner wall surface 111. When the tubular objects 90 are placed, Moving along the inclined surface 13 toward the second inner wall surface 112, at the same time, the first air-jet means 132 will eject gas in the direction of the inclined surface 13 through the first valve holes 131, so if the tube 90 is stuck When the ramp 13 is moved without movement, the ejected gases will urge the tubular 90 to continue to move downward in the direction of the ramp 13.

Referring to FIG. 2, in addition, since the length of the processed tubular member 90 may be different, the partition 22 may be moved in the horizontal direction according to the length of the tubular member 90, and the width in the casing 11 is adjusted to avoid the inclined surface 13 Too wide causes the direction in which the tubular 90 moves.

Referring to FIG. 3, before the tubular member 90 continues to move downward and pass through the screening plate 32, the user previously adjusts the height between the bottom end of the screening plate 32 and the inclined surface 13 to allow only one tubular member 90 to pass. Therefore, when the tubular 90 passes through the screening plate 32, it is automatically arranged into a neat arrangement one by one, and in the main example, the hook at the bottom end of the screening plate 32 can smoothly smooth the disordered tubular 90. Increase the efficiency of this screening process.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the screened and flattened tubular 90 is then rolled to the bottom end of the inclined surface 13, that is, the intersection of the inclined surface 13 and the elongated hole 14, and then dropped into the raft. The top surface of the elongated hole 14 is taken up, and since the stabilizing blocks 42 on the top surface of the picking plate 40 have a stable slope 421 toward the second inner wall surface 112, the tubular member 90 can be stably fixed thereto. The slope 421 is stabilized and abuts against the second inner wall surface 112.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the picking plate 40 is then moved upward, and the tubular member 90 at the top end thereof is transported to the upper opening 12 above the casing 11, in the process of upward transportation, if the foregoing When the tubular member 90 is simultaneously dropped into the take-up slot 14 and transported upward by the pick-up plate 40, the second jet devices 114 on the second inner wall surface 112 pass through the second valve holes 113. The gas is ejected, and since the stabilizing slope 421 can only abut a tubular member 90 thereon, the excess tubular member 90 can be blown away from the dip plate 40 by the second jet device 114 because there is no abutment. On the back slope 13, the purpose of picking up only one tube 90 at a time is achieved.

Referring to FIG. 4, after the tubular member 90 is transported to the upper opening 12, the gripping device 50 grips the tubular member 90 to complete the flow of the tubular material.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 , in the main embodiment, the purpose of the protrusions 41 and the corresponding grooves 133 is to increase the width of the extraction plate 40 and increase the stability. In the case of the stud 41, in order to draw only one tubular member 90 at a time, the width of the scooping plate 40 and the matching elongated hole 14 is not necessarily too wide, but in this state, the scooping plate 40 is placed. The tubular member 90 is easily dropped because of the thinning of the drawing plate 40, and is accidentally dropped during the ascending process; at the same time, from the oblique surface 13, the elongated hole 14 and the scooping plate 40 are not fully integrated. The width is partially widened in the form of a convex-concave recess, so that the long hole 14 is retained to maintain the narrowness of the slit through which the tubular member 90 actually passes, without being dropped once because it becomes too wide. There are too many tubes 90, which causes inaccurate screening.

In summary, the present invention allows the process of drawing the tubular member 90 not only to be automated but also to accurately capture one time through the combination of the inclined surface 13, the screening assembly 30, the drawing long hole 14 and the picking plate 40. The purpose of this creation is to greatly enhance the efficiency of the various tubular-related processes.
