Problems solved by technology

Fastener damage is an issue especially in high-speed applications where large numbers of fasteners must be installed at a time and transported at high speed through the feeder
Moreover, in some applications, such as in aircraft construction, even a small defect in a fastener due to handling of the fastener can lead to serious consequences such as poor aerodynamics and stability
[0004] The second issue concerns the alignment of mechanical fasteners

Embodiment Construction

[0038] figure 1An exploded view of an exemplary feeding mechanism 100 according to the present invention is shown. The feeding mechanism 100 is suitable for feeding mechanical fasteners such as rivets, screws, bolts, and the like. The feeding mechanism 100 comprises a transport device 110 and a stopping and aligning unit 120, both shown in exploded view. The stopping and aligning unit 120 is arranged downstream of the transport device 110 , ie the mechanical fasteners to be fed first pass the transport device 110 and then the stopping and aligning unit 120 . Therefore, for figure 1 In general, fasteners will enter the feeding mechanism 100 from the left and will exit the feeding mechanism 100 on the right.

[0039] In this exemplary embodiment, figure 1 The transport device 110 shown includes three hoses 111a, 111b and 111c and corresponding retaining sheaths 112a, 112b and 112c through which the mechanical fasteners are transported. However, there can be a different numb...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a feeding mechanism (100) for feeding mechanical fasteners such as rivets, screws, bolts, etc., a robotic actuator comprising such a mechanism and a robot equipped with such an actuator. The feeding mechanism includes a transport device (110) for transporting mechanical fasteners; and a stop and alignment unit (120) having a shutter (121) to decelerate the transported fasteners.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a feeding mechanism for feeding mechanical fasteners such as rivets, screws, bolts and the like. Background technique [0002] In many industrial manufacturing processes, mechanical fasteners, such as rivets, screws, bolts, etc., are used to join or attach two or more objects together. These mechanical fasteners are usually installed automatically by machines or robots, which can install mechanical fasteners faster and with higher precision than humans. For such automated systems, there is a need for a faster and more reliable supply of mechanical fasteners to the actual installation mechanism. This can be done by hand or with a supply cassette that grips the fastener, however in most cases it is preferred to use a suitable supply mechanism. Such feeding mechanisms feed the fasteners to be installed directly to the mounting mechanism, or to a gripping device that picks up the fasteners from the feeding mechanism and m...
