AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the current technology, the sorting and placement of gaskets and nuts during the installation of railway track fasteners mainly rely on manual operation, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and lacks automated devices to achieve dual-path material feeding for heavy loads in a specific sequence.

Method used

A step-by-step cutting and pre-assembly device for track fastener nuts and washers was designed. The device utilizes components such as a lower baffle, spring push rod, gears and slide rails to achieve automated step-by-step cutting and pre-assembly of washers and nuts. The forward and reverse rotation of the motor controls the gear meshing with the rack to ensure that the washers are cut before the nuts. The pre-assembly status is monitored by a vision sensor.

Benefits of technology

It enables automated step-by-step cutting of washers and nuts, improves installation efficiency, meets the process requirement of "washers first, nuts later", reduces manual labor intensity, and improves work efficiency.
