U-shaped part orientation mechanism

Abstract

The invention discloses a U-shaped part orientation mechanism. The U-shaped part orientation mechanism comprises a main slide groove which is vertically arranged, and a secondary slide groove formed in the main slide groove, wherein the two ends of the secondary slide groove are communicated with the main slide groove; a column body for a U-shaped part to rotate is arranged between the secondary slide groove and the main slide groove; an overturning wheel is arranged at the position, corresponding to the column body, on the groove wall of the main slide groove; baffles which upwards extend along the radial direction of the overturning wheel are uniformly arranged on the circumference of the overturning wheel. The U-shaped part orientation mechanism has the advantages that power cannot be consumed when the U-shaped part is orientated so that the energy-saving effect is realized; the structure of the orientation mechanism is simpler than the structure of an existing orientation machine, and the orientation speed is more rapid.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a U-shaped component orientation mechanism, in particular to a U-shaped component orientation mechanism suitable for twisting pipe fittings. Background technique [0002] Orientation of parts is a relatively common problem in industrial production. Parts may come with either the open end or the closed end first, so there needs to be a mechanism that can orient all the parts so that they can be conveyed the same way. There is a mechanism for orienting U-shaped parts in the prior art, such as figure 1 , as shown, it consists of a main chute and an auxiliary chute arranged on the main chute. Two pins that reciprocate alternately in the horizontal direction are arranged on the groove wall of the groove at a position opposite to the cylinder. As the parts come down the chute, the U-shaped bottom will face right or left, all the parts that come down first hit the lower pin and stop, at this time the upper pin enters the channel, a...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this U-shaped part orientation mechanism in the prior art is that it needs power and a more complicated mechanism to control the movement of the upper and lower pins, which increases the complexity of the orientation mechanism and increases the energy consumption of production
