Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a handle gasket feeding device. Background Art
[0002] The current handle gasket 8 is used for the back cover of the door handle. The handle gasket 8 includes a base plate 81 and a raised positioning column 82 provided on the base plate. When installing, the positioning column of the gasket is inserted into the positioning hole on the handle for positioning. Because the handle gasket is made of injection molded plastic sheet, it has great elasticity. In addition, due to the raised positioning column on the gasket, the loading plate cannot be used for vibration loading during batch loading. If a suction cup is used for loading, the suction cup cannot directly adsorb the bottom surface of the gasket, because if the raised positioning column is at the bottom, the bottom surface is uneven and the suction cup cannot adsorb. Therefore, the positioning column can only be on the top for the suction cup to adsorb. However, when installing the gasket, the positioning column must be inserted into the handle. If it is adsorbed on the top, it cannot be directly inserted. Therefore, the suction cup adsorption cannot be directly loaded. In view of the above loading difficulties, the existing handle gaskets are usually installed by manual loading, but manual loading is inefficient and not suitable for mass production.
