Insert feeding device and method

Abstract

The invention relates to an insert feeding device and method. The device comprises a discharge unit and a feeding unit, wherein the discharge unit comprises a vibration plate, a linear vibrator, a material wait hole, a first detection optical fiber, a first cylinder and a second detection optical fiber; one end of the linear vibrator is fixedly connected with a discharge hole of the vibration plate, and the other end of the linear vibrator is connected with the material wait hole; the vibration plate is provided with a distribution strip for preventing an insert from being reversely arranged; the first detection optical fiber is arranged at the material wait hole and is used for detecting whether the insert exists or not; the first cylinder is arranged under the material wait hole; the second detection optical fiber is arranged at the upper side of the material wait hole and is used for detecting whether the insert is lifted or not; the feeding unit comprises a fixed plate, and two guide locating ejector pins, two grabbing mechanisms and two suction cups which are arranged on the fixed plate; the guide locating ejector pins can be inserted into locating holes of a mould and are used for guiding and locating the fixed plate; the grabbing mechanisms are used for grabbing the insert from the material wait hole; the suction cups are used for absorbing a product in which the insert is installed. After the device and the method are adopted, the insert can be automatically fed and is prevented from being reversely installed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of production and processing, in particular to an insert feeding device and method for feeding insert molding equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, during the production operation of the insert molding process, the operator mainly relies on the manual loading of materials next to the insert molding equipment, and the mold temperature of the insert molding equipment is as high as 180°C, and the working environment is poor. Fatigue reduces production speed, and often due to human error, the positive and negative directions of the inserts are wrong, resulting in poor reverse assembly of the inserts. [0003] Therefore, how to provide an insert feeding device and method that can automatically prevent insert reverse mounting is a technical problem to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Contents of the invention [0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an insert feeding device...
