[0037] Example 1

[0038] The present invention includes a fixed support frame 13, a storage support frame 1, and a processing equipment main body 28. A weighing module, a feeding module, a nut push rod 27, and a blowing rod 10 are respectively and fixedly installed on the fixed support frame 13; an upper nut device is placed on one side of the fixed support frame; a picking module is fixedly installed on the storage support frame 1.

[0039] The weighing module includes a blanking funnel 12; the weighing module is installed on the upper layer of the fixed support frame 13; a turntable 25 is installed at the mouth of the blanking funnel 12; the turntable 25 is connected to a rotary cylinder 26 through a toothed belt 6; a loading box 14 is installed under the turntable 25; a slider 7 made of a gravity sensor is installed at the bottom of the loading box 14; one side of the slider 7 is connected to a first cylinder 15.

[0040] The feeding module includes a diversion funnel 8; the diversion funnel 8 is installed under the slider 7 and is connected to a blanking guide port 9 through a hose; one side of the blanking guide port 9 is connected to a second cylinder 16.

[0041] The upper nut device is connected to the fixed support frame 13 through a guide rail; the upper nut device includes a fixed support seat 20; a seventh cylinder 19 is installed on the fixed support seat 20; the seventh cylinder 19 is connected to a base 11; a nut receiving plate 22 is installed on the base 11; a magnet 24 is installed at the bottom of the nut receiving plate 22.

[0042] The nut push rod 27 is installed under the feeding module and one side is connected to a third cylinder 17; the blowing rod 10 is installed under the nut push rod 27 and one side is connected to a fourth cylinder 21.

[0043] The processing equipment main body 28 is placed between the fixed support frame 13 and the storage support frame 1 and is a friction wheel injection molding actuator.

[0044] A picking module is installed on the storage support frame 1; the picking module realizes horizontal movement through a fifth cylinder 2 and vertical movement through a sixth cylinder 4; the picking module uses a pneumatic three-jaw chuck 5 to clamp the workpiece.

[0045] In actual production, the moving parts of all operating procedures in this embodiment need to be connected to the PLC control system to achieve full-automatic operation. The material falls into the loading box 14 in the feeding hopper 12. While weighing the material, after the upper nut device pushes the nut to the designated position, the nut receiving plate 22 rotates 90°, and the nut push rod 27 pushes forward. Under the action of magnetism, the nut will firmly clamp on the push rod and be pushed into the nut hole of the injection mold of the processing equipment main body 28. After the gravity sensor at the bottom of the loading box 7 measures that the material reaches the specified quantity, the rotating cylinder 26 rotates, driving the turntable 25 to rotate and close the feeding hopper opening. After the system receives that the processed workpiece in the equipment has been taken out from the processing equipment main body 28, the second cylinder 16 extends, and the feeding guide port 9 reaches above the feeding port of the processing equipment main body 28. The first cylinder 15 contracts to drive the slider 7 to slide, and the material falls from the loading box 14 into the diversion hopper 8, and then through the hose to the feeding port.

[0046] After the feeding is completed, the first cylinder 15 and the second cylinder 16 return to their original positions. At this time, the processing equipment main body 28 compresses the material. At the same time, the rotating cylinder 26 rotates to drive the turntable 25 to rotate and open the feeding hopper 12. After the compression is completed, the nut push rod 27 returns to its original position, and the upper nut device returns to its original position. The air blowing rod 10 extends to blow air into the upper nut hole of the processing equipment main body 28. At the same time, the fifth cylinder 2 operates. After the picking device extends to the picking position of the processing equipment main body 28, the sixth cylinder 4 operates to push the pneumatic three-jaw chuck 5 into the friction wheel, clamp and take out the friction wheel, and return to the storage support frame 1 to put down the workpiece.

[0047] So far, the device has completed the entire operation process.
