Key feeding mechanism

Abstract

The invention discloses a key feeding mechanism. The key feeding mechanism comprises a material tray with a rectangular material cavity. A plurality of sets of keys are arrayed in the rectangular material cavity. Each set of keys comprise a plurality of keys which are sequentially arrayed in the left-right direction. The material tray is arranged on a workbench. The key feeding mechanism further comprises a first material shifting sheet and a second material shifting sheet. The first material shifting sheet directly faces the front side of the set of keys arranged at the frontmost end, and the second material shifting sheet directly faces the left side or the right side of the set of keys arranged at the rearmost end. Due to arrangement of the first material shifting sheet and the second material shifting sheet, front-back movement of the multiple sets of the keys and left-right movement of one set of the keys are realized. A mechanical arm grabs the keys at the corner positions at first; then one set of the keys can move through the second material shifting sheet, and keys are moved to the corner positions and are grabbed by the mechanical arm once again till the set of the keys are completely grabbed; and afterwards, the first material shifting sheet moves the next set of keys, the process is repeated again, the mechanical arm grabs the keys at one position all the time and accordingly the movement can be made.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of assembly, in particular to a button feeding mechanism. Background technique [0002] In industries such as mobile phones, notebooks, and automobiles, it is necessary to configure buttons. Before assembly, the buttons need to be transported to the assembly station. Place the buttons for assembly or pick and place the buttons by the manipulator. When the manipulator picks and places the buttons, because the buttons of each tray are in different positions, it is necessary to design a complex program to accurately grab each button. Not only is the operation cumbersome, but also When the button is accidentally shifted, the manipulator cannot grab the button and needs to be repositioned, resulting in low production efficiency and high scrap rate. Contents of the invention [0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a button feeding mechanism, which can au...
