DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. Any structure or process not specifically noted is conventional prior art in the art.

[0023] Example 1.

[0024] A device for automatically arranging car keys, comprising: Figure 1-8 As shown, it includes a regular key blanking component 2, a special-shaped key blanking component 5, a key transfer component 3, and a manipulator component 4. The regular key blanking component 2 and the special-shaped key blanking component 5 send the key 7 to be processed to the key transfer component 3. After the transfer component 3 reaches the material taking position, the manipulator component 4 takes the key out of the transfer component 3 and sends it to the key processing position.

[0025] The regular key blanking assembly 2 includes a base 1, a push cylinder bottom plate 24 is fixed on the base 1, a material sensing switch 22 and three push cylinders 23 are fixed on the push cylinder bottom plate 24, and three key blanking seats 21 are also provided on the push cylinder bottom plate 24, and a variety of different keys 7 can be placed on the three key blanking seats 21. The key blanking seat 21 is built with a proximity switch 25 for sensing the key falling into place, and the key blanking seat 21 is designed according to the appearance of different regular keys 7, and can be quickly interchanged on the blanking assembly 5.

[0026] When the regular key blanking assembly 2 is working, the regular key 7 is placed on the key blanking seat 21, and the material sensing switch 22 is used to detect whether there are enough regular keys 7 to be processed on the key blanking seat 21. If there are not enough, it prompts to add regular keys 7 to the key blanking seat 21. The regular key 7 automatically falls on the key blanking seat 21 by gravity, and the proximity switch 25 on the key blanking seat 21 senses that the key 7 has fallen into place. The push cylinder 23 extends to push the regular key 7 forward to the key box 33 of the key transfer assembly 3, and the push cylinder 23 returns to the original position. The regular key 7 automatically falls on the key blanking seat 21 by gravity, and the proximity switch 25 senses that the regular key 7 has fallen into place, and waits for the next push.

[0027] The special-shaped key automatic blanking assembly 5 includes a fixed frame 52, on which a special-shaped key blanking seat 51 and a material sensing switch 55 are arranged, on which a special-shaped key push piece 54 is placed, which is connected to a push cylinder 53, and the special-shaped key blanking seat 51 is also equipped with a proximity switch 25. The special-shaped key blanking seat 51 is designed according to the shapes of different special-shaped keys 8, and can be quickly interchanged on the special-shaped blanking assembly 5.

[0028] When the special-shaped key blanking assembly 5 is working, a special-shaped key 8 is placed on the special-shaped key blanking seat 51, and the material sensing switch 55 on the fixed frame 52 detects whether the special-shaped key 8 to be processed is sufficient. If it is insufficient, it prompts to add the special-shaped key 8. The special-shaped key 8 automatically falls on the special-shaped key blanking seat 51 by gravity. After the proximity switch 25 senses that the special-shaped key 8 has fallen into place, the special-shaped push cylinder 53 extends to drive the special-shaped key push piece 54 to push the special-shaped key 8 forward to the key box 33 of the key transfer assembly. The push cylinder 53 returns to the original position, and the special-shaped key 8 automatically falls on the special-shaped key blanking seat 51 by gravity. After the proximity switch 25 senses that the special-shaped key 8 has fallen into place, it waits for the next push.

[0029] The regular key blanking assembly 5 and the special-shaped key blanking assembly 2 can select the regular key 8 or the special-shaped key 7 to be pushed separately according to actual production needs, or the special-shaped key 8 and the regular key 7 are pushed in combination of two, or three different regular keys 7 are pushed in combination.

[0030] The key transfer assembly 3 includes a guide rail 37, a slider assembly 32 is provided on the guide rail 37, a cylinder connecting plate 38 is provided on the slider assembly 32, the cylinder connecting plate 38 is connected to the movable cylinder 31, the movable cylinder 31 drives the slider assembly 32 to slide on the guide rail 37, a key box 33 is provided on the slider assembly 32, and a blocking cylinder base 36 is provided, a blocking cylinder 34 and a key blocking plate 39 are provided on the blocking cylinder base 36, and an induction switch 35 is provided on the key box 33.

[0031] When the key transfer assembly 3 is working, the moving cylinder 31 of the transfer key is connected to the cylinder connecting plate 38, and the cylinder connecting plate 38 is installed on the slider assembly 32. The moving cylinder 31 drives the slider assembly 32 to slide on the guide rail 37. The slider assembly 32 is also equipped with a key box 33. The key box 33 on the slider assembly 32 is used to receive the key pushed out by the key blanking assembly. After the key box 33 receives the pushed key, the key blocking piece 39 extends upward to block the pushed key. The blocking cylinder 34 on the blocking cylinder base 36 extends to limit the slider assembly 32 to the waiting position for material collection. After the slider assembly 32 moves to the waiting position for material collection of the manipulator assembly 4, the induction switch 35 senses the key on the key box 33, and a key transfer is completed.

[0032] The blocking cylinder 34 and the moving cylinder 31 act in combination to realize multiple key selections in three positions. When the moving cylinder 31 extends to drive the slider assembly 32 to move to the leftmost position, the key box 33 receives the special-shaped key 8 pushed by the special-shaped blanking assembly 5 or the regular key 7 pushed by the regular key blanking assembly 2; when the moving cylinder 31 extends to drive the slider assembly 32 to move to the rightmost position, the key box 33 receives the regular key 7 pushed by the regular key blanking assembly 2; when the blocking cylinder 34 extends, the moving cylinder 31 extends to drive the slider assembly 32 to move to the middle position, and the slider assembly 32 receives the regular key 7 pushed by the regular key blanking assembly 2.

[0033] When in use, according to the feeding requirements, the regular key blanking component 2 and the special-shaped key blanking component 5 respectively deliver the regular and special-shaped keys to be processed 7 to the key transfer component 3. After the transfer component 3 reaches the material taking position, the manipulator component 4 takes the key to be processed 7 from the transfer component 3 and delivers it to the blanking position. The device can automatically arrange the keys for key automatic processing equipment to process, can sense and identify the blanking position of the keys to be processed, and ensure that the keys can fall into place. It can sense whether the number of keys to be processed is arranged to ensure the automatic and continuous production of keys.
