In order to enable the feeding mechanism of this embodiment to drive the insulation cotton b to be fed and finally complete sleeving, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism may include two roller assemblies and a second opening and closing control mechanism (e.g., a second pneumatic gripper 348), the two roller assemblies are oppositely disposed on two sides of the fixed center line, each roller assembly includes a bracket 349, and a roller 347 and a rotation transmission mechanism disposed on the bracket 349, and the insulation cotton sleeving apparatus further includes a rotation driving mechanism, wherein: the second opening and closing control mechanism is in power connection with the two brackets 349 and is used for driving the two roller assemblies to approach to and move away from each other; the rotation driving mechanism is respectively connected with each corresponding roller 347 through each rotation transmission mechanism and is used for driving the two rollers 347 to rotate reversely around the respective rotation axes; when the two roller assemblies approach each other until the two rollers 347 contact the thermal cotton b, the two rollers 347 drive the thermal cotton b to move along the fixed center line by the reverse rotation of the two rollers, so that the thermal cotton b is moved to the outer wall of the connecting pipe a by the guide rod 33 and moves on the outer wall of the connecting pipe a by a predetermined distance relative to the connecting pipe a.

Through setting up two roller assemblies, second control mechanism that opens and shuts and rotation actuating mechanism, can drive the cotton b of keeping warm and arrive the sleeve pipe initial position back atguide bar 33, utilize two roller assemblies of second control mechanism that opens and shuts to be close to each other to with the cotton b contact of keeping warm to twogyro wheels 347 antiport of utilizing two roller assemblies of rotation actuating mechanism drive, make the cotton b automatic feed that keeps warm, accomplish the automatic cover of the cotton b of keeping warm on connecting pipe a and establish, convenient and high-efficient.

In order to enable the tworollers 347 to be in contact with the insulation cotton b more sufficiently, therollers 347 according to the embodiment may include a roller body, a central axis of the roller body coincides with a rotation axis of therollers 347, a contact surface for contacting the insulation cotton b is disposed on the roller body, and the contact surface may be a curved surface recessed toward the rotation axis, so that therollers 347 can better adapt to the softer characteristic of the insulation cotton b and make contact with the insulation cotton b more sufficiently, and when the tworollers 347 rotate in opposite directions, a larger acting force may be applied to the insulation cotton b, and the insulation cotton b is driven to be fed more smoothly.

In addition, in order to make the tworollers 347 drive the insulation cotton b to feed more smoothly, theroller 347 of this embodiment may further have a plurality ofgear teeth 347c disposed on the roller body, the plurality ofgear teeth 347c being spaced apart from each other around the central axis of the roller body, and a radially outer surface of eachgear tooth 347c forming a contact surface of theroller 347 for contacting the insulation cotton b. Because thegear teeth 347c can increase the friction force when therollers 347 are in contact with the thermal insulation cotton b, the friction force between the thermal insulation cotton b and theguide rod 33 and between the thermal insulation cotton b and the connecting pipe a can be effectively overcome, and therollers 347 can be well pressed into the softer thermal insulation cotton b when in contact with the thermal insulation cotton b, therefore, the tworollers 347 can drive the thermal insulation cotton b to feed smoothly when rotating reversely by arranging thegear teeth 347c, and the working efficiency of the thermal insulation cotton sleeve equipment is improved.

Of course, it is more preferable that both thegear teeth 347c be provided on theroller 347, and the contact surface of theroller 347 for contacting the thermal cotton b be provided as a curved surface that is concave toward the rotation axis, that is, as shown in fig. 8, the radially outer surface of thegear teeth 347 be provided as a curved surface that is concave toward the rotation axis, so that both theroller 347 and the thermal cotton b can have a larger contact area, and theroller 347 and the thermal cotton b can be brought into closer contact, so that the driving force of the feeding mechanism on the thermal cotton b can be more effectively increased, and the thermal cotton b can be fed more smoothly.

Further, in order to enable the tworollers 347 to more sufficiently contact the thermal cotton b, as shown in fig. 8, it is also possible to provide the roller body with afirst end portion 347a and asecond end portion 347b at opposite ends of the contact surface in the direction of the rotation axis, the radial dimensions of thefirst end portion 347a and thesecond end portion 347b being different, and, in the tworollers 347, the positional relationship of thefirst end portion 347a and thesecond end portion 347b of oneroller 347 is opposite to the positional relationship of thefirst end portion 347a and thesecond end portion 347b of theother roller 347 in the direction of the rotation axis, that is, in fig. 8, the adjacent tworollers 347 are arranged upside down with thefirst end portion 347a of oneroller 347 up and thesecond end portion 347b down, and the second end portion b of theother roller 347 up and thefirst end portion 347a down. Based on this, when needs feed, twogyro wheels 347 can be close to each other for everygyro wheel 347 can all contact with the cotton b of heat preservation closely and great area, further increase the frictional force to the cotton b of heat preservation, realize the process of feeding of the cotton b of heat preservation more smoothly.

In this embodiment, the rotation transmission mechanism may include arotation shaft 346 and afirst bevel gear 344 and asecond bevel gear 345 engaged with each other, and the rotation driving mechanism transmits power to thecorresponding roller 347 through thefirst bevel gear 344, thesecond bevel gear 345 and therotation shaft 346 in sequence; the rotation driving mechanism includes atransmission shaft 343, a central axis of thetransmission shaft 343 is disposed along a direction in which the two roller assemblies approach to each other and move away from each other, afirst bevel gear 344 is sleeved on thetransmission shaft 343, thefirst bevel gear 344 is capable of rotating along with thetransmission shaft 343, and thefirst bevel gear 344 is slidably connected with thetransmission shaft 343 along an axial direction of thetransmission shaft 343. Based on this, when therotating shaft 343 rotates, thetransmission shaft 343 can drive therollers 347 to rotate through thefirst bevel gear 344, thesecond bevel gear 345 and therotating shaft 346, so that the feeding structure can drive the insulation cotton b to feed through the reverse rotation of the tworollers 347 when necessary; moreover, since thefirst bevel gear 344 is slidably connected to thetransmission shaft 343 along the axial direction of thetransmission shaft 343, thefirst bevel gear 344 can be always engaged with thesecond bevel gear 345 while the second opening and closing control mechanism controls the tworollers 347 to approach each other and to move away from each other, so that the tworollers 347 are driven to rotate when the second opening and closing control mechanism controls the tworollers 347 to approach each other and to contact the insulation wool b.

In order to realize the slidable connection between thefirst bevel gear 344 and thetransmission shaft 343 along the axial direction of thetransmission shaft 343, as can be seen from fig. 6 and 7, thetransmission shaft 343 of this embodiment is provided with a slidinggroove 343a along the axial direction of thetransmission shaft 343, and correspondingly, thefirst bevel gear 344 of this embodiment is correspondingly provided with a convex block matched with the slidinggroove 343a, so that when the tworollers 347 need to approach each other and move away from each other, thefirst bevel gear 344 can move together with the slidinggroove 343a, thereby better ensuring that thefirst bevel gear 344 always keeps meshed with thesecond bevel gear 345. Of course, it is understood that in other embodiments of the present invention, the positions of the slidinggroove 343a and the protruding block can be interchanged, that is, the slidinggroove 343a can be disposed on thefirst bevel gear 344 and the protruding block can be correspondingly disposed on thetransmission shaft 343, and the embodiment has the advantage that the slidinggroove 343a can be disposed on thetransmission shaft 343 only by disposing one slidinggroove 343a, so as to satisfy the sliding requirement of thefirst bevel gear 344 of each thermal insulation cotton sleeving unit, and the structure is simpler, and the integration and modularization of the feeding mechanism of each thermal insulation cotton sleeving unit are more convenient, so that the structure is more compact.

As can be seen from fig. 5 and fig. 6, in this example, the rotation driving mechanism further includes amotor 341 and abelt transmission mechanism 342, and themotor 341 is in power connection with thetransmission shaft 343 through the belt transmission mechanism, so that when themotor 341 rotates, the tworollers 347 of different insulation cotton sleeving units can be driven to rotate in opposite directions, thereby realizing driving of each insulation cotton b, and the structure is simpler and the cost is lower.

In this embodiment, the insulation cotton conveying mechanism may include at least one feeding mechanism, and at least one of the at least one feeding mechanism is afirst feeding mechanism 34, thefirst feeding mechanism 34 is connected to the frame 1 and located between the two axial ends of theguide rod 33, and is used for driving the insulation cotton b to move relative to theguide rod 33 after theguide rod 33 reaches the sleeve starting position. By providing thefirst feeding mechanism 34, the insulation cotton b can be driven to move relative to theguide rod 33 by one or morefirst feeding mechanisms 34, so that the insulation cotton b can be moved onto the fixed connecting pipe a by theguide rod 33 and finally fed into position.

However, in order to further improve the smoothness of the feeding of the thermal cotton b, it is preferable that the thermal cotton conveying mechanism further includes at least two feeding mechanisms, and at least one of the at least two feeding mechanisms is afirst feeding mechanism 34, and at least one of the at least two feeding mechanisms is asecond feeding mechanism 37, wherein, in distinction from thefirst feeding mechanism 34, thesecond feeding mechanism 37 is a feeding mechanism connected to the frame 1 and located between the two axial ends of the connecting pipe a fixed by the pipe fixing mechanism, and is configured to move the thermal cotton b on the connecting pipe a by a predetermined distance relative to the connecting pipe a together with thefirst feeding mechanism 34 after the thermal cotton b is moved to the outer wall of the connecting pipe a by theguide bar 33.

Because thefirst feeding mechanism 34 can drive the insulation cotton b to move relative to theguide rod 33, and thesecond feeding mechanism 37 can drive the insulation cotton b to move on the connecting pipe a, thefirst feeding mechanism 34 and the second feeding mechanism 41 can increase the driving force to the insulation cotton b in the feeding process, so that the insulation cotton b can move more smoothly relative to theguide rod 33 and the connecting pipe a, and particularly, the movement process of the insulation cotton b on the connecting pipe a can be performed more smoothly due to the addition of thesecond feeding mechanism 37.

More preferably, the number of thesecond feeding mechanisms 37 may be at least two, and the at least twosecond feeding mechanisms 37 are arranged at intervals along the fixed center line. As described above, the length of the connection pipe a is long, and the friction between the insulation wool b and the connection pipe a is large, so that the difficulty of movement of the insulation wool b relative to the connection pipe a increases with the increase of the feeding distance of the insulation wool b on the connection pipe a, and at least twosecond feeding mechanisms 37 are arranged at intervals along the fixed center line, so that the number of thesecond feeding mechanisms 37 increases with the increase of the feeding distance of the insulation wool b, and the driving force for the insulation wool b can be gradually increased in the whole process of feeding the insulation wool b on the connection pipe a, thereby more effectively overcoming the gradually increasing feeding difficulty due to the increase of the feeding distance, and enabling the insulation wool b to be fed to the predetermined distance more smoothly and efficiently. Moreover, thesecond feeding mechanisms 37 arranged at intervals along the fixed center line can simultaneously play a certain supporting role for the connecting pipe a, and can be used together with thepipe fixing component 21 to reduce the risk of bending phenomenon of the connecting pipe a caused by the fact that the connecting pipe a is soft and long, which also helps to improve the smoothness of feeding the insulation cotton b on the connecting pipe a.

Further, when the thermal cotton transfer mechanism includes at least twosecond feeding mechanisms 37 disposed at intervals along a fixed center line, the at least twosecond feeding mechanisms 37 and the plurality oftube fixing assemblies 21 of the aforementioned tube fixing mechanism may be arranged in the following relationship: the at least twosecond feed mechanisms 37 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the othertube fixing assemblies 21 of the plurality oftube fixing assemblies 21 of the tube fixing mechanism except for the one closest to theguide bar 33, and eachsecond feed mechanism 37 is provided upstream of the correspondingtube fixing assembly 21 in the direction of movement of the thermal insulating cotton b toward the tube fixing mechanism. Because thefirst feeding mechanism 34 corresponds to the most upstreampipe fixing assembly 21 and eachsecond feeding mechanism 37 corresponds to the rest of thepipe fixing assemblies 21, each feeding mechanism can be matched with eachpipe fixing assembly 21 more effectively, so that the corresponding feeding mechanism is added before the heat insulation cotton b is fed to the position of eachpipe fixing assembly 21, the driving force to the heat insulation cotton b is increased, and the heat insulation cotton b can be fed on each section of the connecting pipe a more smoothly and efficiently.

In order to more effectively control the cooperation of eachpipe fixing assembly 21 and each corresponding feeding mechanism, in this embodiment, the thermal cotton sleeving unit may further include a detection control device for detecting whether the thermal cotton b moves to eachsecond feeding mechanism 37 and/or to eachpipe fixing assembly 21, and the detection control device may control whether eachsecond feeding mechanism 37 starts to drive the thermal cotton b to move relative to the connecting pipe a and/or control eachpipe fixing assembly 21 to switch from the fixing state to the fixing release state according to the detection result. By arranging the detection control device, the corresponding action of thesecond feeding mechanism 37 and/or thepipe fixing component 21 can be automatically controlled according to the actual feeding position of the heat-preservation cotton b in time, and the smoothness of the whole feeding process is further improved.

As an implementation manner of the detection control device of this embodiment, the detection control device may include at least twodetection devices 6 disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the at least twosecond feeding mechanisms 37, eachdetection device 6 being configured to detect whether the thermal insulation cotton b moves to the correspondingsecond feeding mechanism 37, and/or eachdetection device 6 being configured to detect whether the thermal insulation cotton b moves to eachpipe fixing assembly 21. The feeding positions of the heat-preservation cotton b are detected by arranging the detectingdevices 6 which are the same in number and correspond to thesecond feeding mechanisms 37 one by one, so that the detection result is more accurate, and the control on thesecond feeding mechanisms 37 and/or thepipe fixing component 21 can be more accurate and timely.

Specifically, as can be seen from fig. 1, 2 and 5, in this embodiment, the insulation cotton conveying mechanism includes a first feeding mechanism 34, three second feeding mechanisms 37 and three detecting devices 6, wherein the first feeding mechanism 34 is disposed on the carriage 31 and located between two axial ends of the guide rod 33, so as to act on the insulation cotton b on the guide rod 33 and drive the insulation cotton b on the guide rod 33 to move relative to the insulation cotton b; the three second feeding mechanisms 37 are respectively arranged on the rack 1 in one-to-one correspondence with the other three pipe fixing assemblies 21 except for one closest to the guide rod 33 among the four pipe fixing assemblies 21, and are respectively positioned at the upstream of the respectively corresponding pipe fixing assembly 21 along the moving direction of the heat insulation cotton b to the pipe fixing mechanism; the three detection devices 6 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the three second feeding mechanisms 37, each detection device 6 is configured to detect whether the insulation cotton b moves to the corresponding second feeding mechanism 37, when each detection device 6 detects that the insulation cotton b moves to the corresponding second feeding mechanism 37, the detection control device controls the corresponding second feeding mechanism 37 to start driving the insulation cotton b to move relative to the connection pipe a, and the detection control device controls the first pipe clamping member 211 and the second pipe clamping member 212 of the corresponding pipe fixing assembly 21 to start to be away from each other.

Based on this, in the working process, eachpipe fixing component 21 may be in a normally closed state, and eachsecond feeding mechanism 37 may be in a normally open state, that is, when the insulation cotton b is not fed to a certainsecond feeding mechanism 37, thesecond feeding mechanism 37 is in an open state, and the correspondingpipe fixing component 21 is in a closed state, and when the insulation cotton b is fed to thesecond feeding mechanism 37, the correspondingdetection device 6 sends a signal, so that the detection control device controls thesecond feeding mechanism 37 to switch to the closed state, and controls the correspondingpipe fixing component 21 to switch to the open state, so that thesecond feeding mechanism 37 applies a driving force to the insulation cotton b, and the insulation cotton b can smoothly pass through the correspondingpipe fixing component 21, so that the insulation cotton b can be fed smoothly and continuously until the sheathing of the connecting pipe a is completed.

In addition, in order to make the overall structure of the thermal insulation cotton sleeving apparatus of this embodiment simpler and more compact, as shown in fig. 10, thesecond feeding mechanisms 37 of different thermal insulation cotton sleeving units, which are located at the same axial position of the connecting pipe a, may be integrally mounted on the supporting frame 4, so that the 12second feeding mechanisms 37 of the four thermal insulation cotton sleeving units may be divided into three groups, and the foursecond feeding mechanisms 37 in each group are disposed on the same supporting frame 4, thereby implementing a modular design of each group ofsecond feeding mechanisms 37, which not only makes the structure of the thermal insulation cotton sleeving apparatus simpler and more compact, but also facilitates driving eachsecond feeding mechanism 37 in each group to rotate by using the same rotation driving mechanism (specifically, the same set ofmotor 341,belt transmission mechanism 342 andtransmission shaft 343 in this embodiment), further simplifies the structure, reduces the cost, and further improves the synchronization of the rotation of eachsecond feeding mechanism 37 in each group.

Furthermore, as shown in fig. 5, the thermal insulation cotton conveying mechanism of this embodiment, in addition to theguide rod 33 and the feeding mechanism, may further include a cottonrod clamping mechanism 35, where the cottonrod clamping mechanism 35 is configured to clamp the thermal insulation cotton b and theguide rod 33 in the process that theguide rod 33 drives the thermal insulation cotton b to reach and exit the starting position of the sleeve, so that the thermal insulation cotton b and theguide rod 33 may have better synchronization in the process of reaching and exiting the starting position of the sleeve, and the problem that the thermal insulation cotton b moves relative to theguide rod 33 in the process is prevented, so that the thermal insulation cotton b may more accurately reach and exit the starting position of the sleeve under the driving of theguide rod 33.

By arranging the cottonstalk clamping mechanism 35, different requirements whether the cotton b and theguide rod 33 are in a clamping state or not at different stages of the whole working process can be met more flexibly and conveniently. When the sleeving is ready to be started and the sleeve is required to reach the initial position, and after the sleeving is finished and the sleeve is required to exit from the initial position, the cottonrod clamping mechanism 35 can be used for clamping the heat-insulating cotton b and theguide rod 33, so that the motion synchronism of the heat-insulating cotton b and theguide rod 33 in the process of reaching and exiting from the initial position of the sleeve is improved; when the heat insulation cotton b needs to be driven to feed, the heat insulation cotton b and theguide rod 33 are loosened by the cottonrod clamping mechanism 35, so that the heat insulation cotton b can be fed under the action of the feeding mechanism.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 9, the cottonstalk clamping mechanism 35 of this embodiment includes a first cottonstalk clamping member 351, a second cottonstalk clamping member 352 and a third opening and closing control mechanism, the first cottonstalk clamping member 351 and the second cottonstalk clamping member 352 are oppositely disposed at two sides of the central axis of theguide bar 33 and are both connected with the third opening and closing control mechanism, the third opening and closing control mechanism is used for driving the first cottonstalk clamping member 351 and the second cottonstalk clamping member 352 to approach each other and to move away from each other in the process that theguide bar 33 drives the insulation cotton b to reach or exit the sleeve starting position, wherein: when approaching each other, the first and second cotton stalk clamps 351 and 352 can clamp the insulation cotton b with theguide bar 33; when being away from each other, the first and second cotton stalk clamps 351 and 352 can release the clamping of the insulation cotton b with theguide bar 33. Thus, the firstcotton stalk clamp 351 and the secondcotton stalk clamp 352 are controlled to approach and separate from each other by the third opening and closing control mechanism, so that the insulation cotton b and theguide bar 33 can be conveniently clamped and released.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 9, in this embodiment, a plurality ofU-shaped teeth 353 are provided on each of the first and second cotton stalk clamps 351 and 352 at intervals along the axial direction of theguide bar 33, the plurality ofU-shaped teeth 353 on the firstcotton stalk clamp 351 are alternately arranged with the plurality ofU-shaped teeth 353 on the secondcotton stalk clamp 352, and when the first and second cotton stalk clamps 351 and 352 are brought close to each other, the plurality ofU-shaped teeth 353 on the firstcotton stalk clamp 351 and the plurality ofU-shaped teeth 353 on the secondcotton stalk clamp 352 are brought close to each other and partially overlapped to clamp the insulation cotton b with theguide bar 33.

The first cottonstalk clamping piece 351 and the second cottonstalk clamping piece 352 are arranged to be of a multi-tooth structure, so that the first cottonstalk clamping piece 351 and the second cottonstalk clamping piece 352 can more sufficiently press the heat preservation cotton b and theguide rod 33, and the first cottonstalk clamping piece 351 and the second cottonstalk clamping piece 352 can more sufficiently contact the heat preservation cotton b and theguide rod 33 due to the depression of theU-shaped teeth 353, so that the cottonstalk clamping mechanism 35 of the embodiment can realize firmer clamping action on theguide rod 33 and the heat preservation cotton b when needed, and can more effectively avoid relative movement between theguide rod 33 and the heat preservation cotton b in the process of reaching and withdrawing the initial position of the sleeve.

As shown in fig. 5, the third opening/closing control mechanism of this embodiment can be operated by the samefirst cylinder 36, and thus the structure is simpler and the control is more convenient.

Moreover, as shown in fig. 5, in this embodiment, thefirst feeding mechanism 34 and the cottonstalk clamping mechanism 35 of different insulation cotton bushing units are both disposed on the same slidingrack 31, so as to implement a modular design. Similarly to each set ofsecond feeding mechanisms 37 being disposed on the same carriage 4, thefirst feeding mechanisms 34 and the cottonstalk clamping mechanisms 35 of different insulation cotton sleeving units are disposed on thesame carriage 31, so that the overall structure of the insulation cotton sleeving apparatus is simpler and more compact, and the same rotation driving mechanism (specifically, the same set ofmotor 341,belt transmission mechanism 342 andtransmission shaft 343 in this embodiment) is used to drive eachfirst feeding mechanism 34 to rotate, thereby improving the feeding synchronization of eachfirst feeding mechanism 34. Moreover, for each thermal cotton sleeve unit, thefirst feeding mechanism 34 and the cottonstalk clamping mechanism 35 are disposed on the slidingframe 31, which is also beneficial in that thefirst feeding mechanism 34 and the cottonstalk clamping mechanism 35 can move together with theguide bar 33 in the process of reaching and retreating from the sleeve starting position, namely, the axial positions of thefirst feeding mechanism 34 and the cottonstalk clamping mechanism 35 and theguide bar 33 and the thermal cotton b sleeved on theguide bar 33 are kept relatively unchanged, thereby facilitating thefirst feeding mechanism 34 and the cottonstalk clamping mechanism 35 to act on theguide bar 33 and the thermal cotton b sleeved on theguide bar 33.

In addition, the thermal cotton bushing unit of this embodiment may further include a thermal cotton cutting mechanism for cutting the thermal cotton b after the thermal cotton b moves a predetermined distance with respect to the connection pipe a, in addition to the pipe fixing mechanism and the thermal cotton conveying mechanism described above. Based on this, when the heat insulation cotton b is fed in place, the heat insulation cotton cutting mechanism can be used for realizing the automatic cutting of the heat insulation cotton b, and the automation degree of the heat insulation cotton sleeving equipment is further improved.

As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 11, in this embodiment, the thermal cotton cutting mechanism includes acutting blade 55 and a second driving mechanism, and the thermal cotton sleeving apparatus further includes a third driving mechanism, wherein thecutting blade 55 includes twoblades 551, the third driving mechanism is used for driving thecutting blade 55 to approach and separate from the thermal cotton b, the second driving mechanism is used for driving the twoblades 551 to approach and separate from each other, and when the twoblades 551 approach each other, thecutting blade 55 can cut the thermal cotton b.

Specifically, as can be seen from fig. 11, the second driving mechanism includes twosecond air cylinders 51, and the twosecond air cylinders 51 are used for controlling the twoblades 551 to move in opposite directions so as to control the twoblades 551 to approach each other and move away from each other; the third driving mechanism comprises athird air cylinder 52, and the extension and contraction of thethird air cylinder 52 are used for controlling the cuttingknives 55 to be close to and far away from the heat preservation cotton b.

And in order to facilitate the control of utilizing samethird cylinder 52 to realize all cutting offcutters 55 in each cotton sleeve unit of heat preservation, the cotton sleeve equipment of heat preservation of this embodiment still includes mountingbracket 56, and the cotton shutdown mechanism of heat preservation in each cotton sleeve unit of heat preservation all sets up on mountingbracket 56,third cylinder 52 and mountingbracket 56 power connection for utilize the flexible of samethird cylinder 52, can control the cutting offcutter 55 of each cotton shutdown mechanism of heat preservation and be close to simultaneously and keep away from heat preservation cotton b, thereby further simplify the structure, raise the efficiency.

Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of the movement of thecutting blade 55 by the third driving mechanism, the thermal insulation cotton sleeving apparatus of this embodiment may further include a guide structure for guiding the movement of thecutting blade 55 by the third driving mechanism so that thecutting blade 55 is more accurately moved closer to and farther from the thermal insulation cotton b. Specifically, as shown in fig. 11, the guide structure of this embodiment may include aguide shaft 53 and alinear bearing 54 disposed corresponding to theguide shaft 53, and under the guide action of theguide shaft 53 and thelinear bearing 54, thethird cylinder 52 may control each cuttingknife 55 to move vertically and vertically more accurately, and approach and separate from the insulation cotton b more accurately. More specifically, a plurality ofguide shafts 53 may be disposed on the mountingframe 56, and eachlinear bearing 54 is sleeved on thecorresponding guide shaft 53.

In addition, as can be seen from fig. 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the thermal cotton sleeving apparatus further comprises a connectingpipe stopper 7, and the connectingpipe stopper 7 is used for limiting the displacement of the connecting pipe a. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the connectingpipe stopper 7 may be provided downstream of the pipe fixing mechanism in the moving direction (i.e., the feeding direction) of the thermal insulation cotton b toward the pipe fixing mechanism. By arranging the connectingpipe limiting device 7, the tail ends (namely, the ends far away from the guide rod 33) of the connecting pipes a fixed on the pipe fixing mechanisms can be more conveniently approximately positioned at the same position, so that the heat-insulating cotton b can be more conveniently sleeved on the connecting pipes a by the heat-insulating cotton conveying mechanisms. Furthermore, the connectionpipe position limiter 7 of this embodiment may be movably connected to the frame 1 along a fixed center line, so that the connectionpipe position limiter 7 can approach and be away from the connection pipe a fixed by the pipe fixing mechanism, and thus when theguide bar 33 moves to the sleeve starting position and contacts the connection pipe a, the connectionpipe position limiter 7 may be controlled to move toward the connection pipe a, so that the connectionpipe position limiter 7 approaches the connection pipe a and finally fixes the connection pipe a together with the pipe fixing mechanism, thereby further improving the fixing reliability of the connection pipe a.

(6) After the heat insulation cotton b is fed on the connecting pipe a to a preset distance, the heat insulation cotton b and theguide rod 33 are loosened by using the cottonrod clamping mechanism 35, theelectric cylinder 32 drives theguide rod 33 to exit from the initial position of the sleeve, so that theguide rod 33 is separated from the connecting pipe a, then thethird air cylinder 52 drives the cuttingknife 55 to be close to the heat insulation cotton b, and thesecond air cylinder 51 controls the twoblades 551 of thesame cutting knife 55 to move in opposite directions, so that the heat insulation cotton b is cut off;
