TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of feeding equipment, in particular to a continuous collaborative feeding equipment for rivet production line. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the precision assembly industry such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace and consumer electronics, riveting as a kind of efficient and reliable connection process, its automation level directly affects the production rhythm and product quality. With the development of intelligent manufacturing towards high precision, high flexibility and high rhythm, the automatic feeding technology of small fasteners such as rivets is required to realize continuous, stable and non-damage supply of parts at high speed, etc. However, the traditional feeding mode is difficult to meet the complex requirements of stability, efficiency and collaboration, which becomes the key bottleneck restricting the efficiency improvement of automatic production line.
[0003] At present, the mainstream scheme generally adopts the mode of vibration disc sorting feeding combined with mechanical hand or cylinder transfer. The vibration disc sorts and transports the disordered rivets to the outlet through vibration along the spiral track. After queuing at the outlet, the rivets are grabbed by independent pneumatic push rod or small mechanical hand and transferred to the clamp of the conveying belt, guide rail or another station. The whole process involves multiple discrete processes such as vibration feeding, temporary storage, grabbing and transferring.
[0004] The existing technology mainly has three defects: first, the feeding reliability is low. The vibration disc relies on the self-weight and inertia of the parts to slide out, which is extremely sensitive to the size and surface state of the parts, and is easy to cause jamming, reverse and attitude error. Second, the system collaboration is poor and the rhythm is slow. Each module is relatively independent, and the action connection has idle waiting. The overall efficiency is limited by the slowest link, and it is difficult to realize high-speed continuous flow production. Third, the stability of the conveying process is insufficient.

[0037] As a preferred solution, further as shown in the drawings, Figures 7-8 The limiting block 642 is provided with a concave groove, and the elastic force of the second spring 647 drives the second sliding block 646 to move, and then drives the rotating rod 643 to rotate through the second connecting rod 648, so that the pressing block 644 presses the rivet and fixes it in the concave groove; this design provides a positioning reference for the rivet in the concave groove of the limiting block 642, and the spring force is converted into stable clamping force through the motion chain, so as to realize reliable positioning and fixing of the rivet.
[0038] As a preferred solution, further as shown in the drawings, Figures 7-8 When the pressing block 644 fixes the rivet in the concave groove, the second connecting rod 648 is perpendicular to the second sliding rod 645, forming a self-locking state; the output end of the electric push rod 65 is configured to be able to push the second sliding block 646 to move against the elastic force of the second spring 647, and then drive the rotating rod 643 to rotate in the opposite direction through the second connecting rod 648, so that the pressing block 644 is loosened; this feature makes the connecting rod mechanism near the dead point when the clamp is in the clamping state, and only a specific direction force applied from the outside can release the state, thereby enhancing the anti-vibration and retention ability of the clamp in dynamic conveying.
[0039] As a preferred solution, the controller 7 further controls the first motor 511, the second motor 61 and the electric push rod 65 to work together through electrical signals; through this control mode, the controller 7 can coordinate the distribution rhythm of the rotating dial, the stepping motion of the chain conveying and the triggering action of the electric push rod at a specific station, so that the distribution, transfer and conveying links are matched in time sequence, thereby realizing the automatic continuous operation of the equipment.
[0040] The device realizes the whole-process automatic collaborative operation of the rivets from unordered feeding, accurate distribution to continuous and stable conveying through the overall coordination of the controller 7 to the actions of each mechanism. The specific working principle is as follows in combination with the component markers:
[0041] After the device is started, the controller 7 sends an electrical signal to the vibrating feeder 3 to drive it to start working; the vibrating feeder 3 is fixed on the top of the support frame 2, which is built on the rear side of the base 1, and through the vibration action, the unordered stacked rivets inside are sorted along the spiral track, and finally the rivets are conveyed in an orderly queue to the discharge port 4, which is ready for the subsequent distribution process;
[0042] The distribution mechanism 5 starts under the instruction of the controller 7, and the core realizes active forced distribution through the rotating dial assembly 51: the controller 7 controls the first motor 511 to operate, and the output end drives the dial 512 to rotate (part of the dial 512 body extends into the outlet path of the discharge port 4); a plurality of pushing parts 513 on the dial 512 surface rotate with the dial body, periodically enter the rivet queue of the discharge port 4, and forcibly push out the queued rivets one by one, completely replacing the traditional passive sliding mode relying on gravity, avoiding the problems of jamming and reverse material;
[0043] The pushed-out rivet falls on the release plate 522 of the rivet release assembly 52 under the limiting action of the baffle 521; at this time, the compression spring 525 on the first sliding rod 523 continuously applies forward elastic force to the first sliding block 524, and through the first connecting rod 526 transmission, the release plate 522 remains in the closed state, realizing the temporary storage and positioning of the rivet, and ensuring the independent waiting of a single rivet;
[0044] The controller 7 synchronously controls the second motor 61 to operate, and the output end drives one of the sprockets 62 on the top of the base 1 to rotate, drives the other sprocket 62 to rotate synchronously through the meshing transmission of the chain 63, and makes the chain 63 move along the horizontal circular path; the clamp module 64 installed on the chain link 63 moves synchronously with the chain, forming a continuous conveying flow.
[0045] When a clamp module 64 moves precisely to the position directly below the rivet release assembly 52, the controller 7 sends a signal to the corresponding electric push rod 65, and the output end of the electric push rod 65 extends to contact and push the second sliding block 646 of the clamp module 64 to slide backward along the second sliding rod 645, and the second spring 647 is compressed;
[0046] The controller 7 coordinates the action of the distribution mechanism 5 and the cooperative feeding mechanism 6 to unlock the release plate 522: through external force triggering or time sequence linkage, the first sliding block 524 slides backward against the elastic force of the first spring 525, and the release plate 522 is pulled to rotate around the rotating shaft to be opened, and the temporarily stored single rivet falls vertically into the concave groove of the limiting block 642 of the clamp module 64 (the concave groove realizes accurate positioning of the rivet);
[0047] After the rivet falls, the controller 7 instructs the output end of the electric push rod 65 to retract, the second spring 647 recovers the deformation, pushes the second sliding block 646 to slide forward along the second sliding rod 645, and drives the rotating rod 643 to rotate in the opposite direction through the second connecting rod 648. The pressing block 644 is pressed towards the limiting block 642; at this time, the second connecting rod 648 and the second sliding rod 645 are in a vertical state, forming a mechanical self-locking structure, which ensures that the rivet will not shift or fall during high-speed conveying, and the stop block 649 limits the front end of the second sliding block 646 to avoid excessive sliding;
[0048] The controller 7 keeps the second motor 61 running at a constant speed, and the chain 63 continuously drives the clamp module 64 clamping the rivet to move along the annular path, realizing continuous conveying of the rivet; During the conveying process, the self-locking structure of the clamp module 64 does not need additional energy consumption, and only relies on the mechanical structure to maintain the clamping state, improving the operation stability and energy efficiency;
[0049] When the clamp module 64 moves to the downstream target assembly station, the controller 7 sends a signal to the electric push rod 65 of the station, and the output end of the electric push rod 65 extends again to push the second sliding block 646 to slide backward, releasing the self-locking state of the second connecting rod 648 and the second sliding rod 645, and the rotating rod 643 drives the pressing block 644 to loosen, and the rivet is separated from the concave groove of the limiting block 642 under the action of gravity or subsequent external force, completing the point feeding;
[0050] After the feeding is completed, the electric push rod 65 retracts, and the clamp module 64 is reset to the clamping standby state under the action of the second spring 647, and returns to the distribution mechanism 5 below along the chain 63, ready to accept the next rivet, forming a continuous and circulating feeding process;
[0051] During the whole working process, the controller 7 precisely coordinates the first motor 511 through the electrical signal, the chain conveying speed of the second motor 61, and the clamping / release timing of the electric push rod 65, constructs a rigid synchronous assembly line, realizes seamless connection of the whole process of sorting, distributing, conveying and releasing, and guarantees the feeding reliability and production rhythm.

Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
