Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wire thread inserts, and in particular to an automatic detection machine for flange wire thread inserts and an application method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Wire thread insert is a new type of internal thread fastener, suitable for threaded connection, screwed into and fastened in the threaded hole of one of the connected parts to form a standard internal thread, into which the bolt (or screw) is then screwed. It is also called threaded wire insert, or simply wire insert. During the processing and production, a protruding rod will be produced at the tail of the wire thread insert, which is usually removed by stamping equipment.

[0003] However, after the existing wire screw sleeve is stamped, the broken rod body cannot fall out of the screw sleeve by itself, and manual operation is required, which not only has low operating efficiency, but also cannot ensure that all the rod bodies in each screw sleeve are removed, thus affecting product quality. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic inspection machine for flange wire thread inserts and an application method thereof, which solves the problem in the prior art that after the existing wire thread inserts are stamped, the broken rod body cannot fall out of the thread insert by itself and needs to be operated manually, which not only has low operating efficiency but also cannot ensure that all the rod bodies in each thread insert are removed, thus affecting product quality.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A flange wire screw automatic detection machine, comprising a base cabinet, a turntable is rotatably connected to one side of the top of the base cabinet, a mounting plate is arranged on the other side of the top, a plurality of stamping seats are arranged on the top of the turntable and along the circumferential direction of the turntable, a stamping device connected to the top of the base cabinet through a bracket is arranged on the top of the turntable, a clamping piece is arranged at the top position of one side of the mounting plate, a servo motor detachably connected to the mounting plate is connected to the bottom of the clamping piece through a flip plate, an output shaft of the servo motor is drivingly connected to one side of the flip plate, a funnel bin is arranged on one side of the top of the base cabinet and at the bottom position of the clamping piece, the bottom of the funnel bin is connected to a drop tube running through the top of the base cabinet, a sensor is installed in the inner cavity of the base cabinet and at one end of the drop tube, and a collecting bin is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the base cabinet and at the bottom position of the drop tube;

[0007] A track is installed on the top of the base cabinet, and a mechanical arm is installed at the bottom of the track and between the turntable and the mounting plate;

[0008] The front view of the flip plate is L-shaped, one side of the vertical section of the flip plate is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor, and one side of the top of the horizontal section of the flip plate is detachably connected to the bottom of the clamp.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the turntable is connected to the top of the bottom cabinet through a driving device, and each of the stamping seats is fixedly connected to the top of the turntable.

[0010] Preferably, the output end of the sensor is connected to an acousto-optic component via a connecting line, and the input end of the acousto-optic component is electrically connected to the output end of the sensor.

[0011] An application method of a flange wire thread insert automatic detection machine comprises the following steps:

[0012] Step 1: Place the screw sleeve connected to the flange on the stamping seat, turn on the stamping equipment, and use the stamping equipment to stamp the screw sleeve to remove the rod body inside the screw sleeve.

[0013] Step 2: Open the robotic arm, move the stamped screw sleeve into the clamping piece through the robotic arm, and open the clamping piece to clamp the screw sleeve.

[0014] Step 3: Turn on the servo motor. The output shaft of the servo motor drives the flip plate, the clamping piece and the screw sleeve to flip 180 degrees, so that the rod body that is punched into the screw sleeve falls into the funnel bin.

[0015] Step 4: The screw sleeve passes through the funnel bin and the drop tube, passes the sensor position, and is finally transferred to the collection bin for collection. When the sensor detects that an object has passed, it transmits the information to the sound and light component, which starts and indicates that the collection is completed.

[0016] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] Through the setting of the mounting plate, servo motor, flip plate, clamping piece and sensor, when the screw sleeve is stamped, it is placed on the clamping piece for clamping, and the servo motor is turned on. The clamping piece and the screw sleeve are driven to rotate by degrees through the flip plate. At this time, the rod body in the screw sleeve falls into the funnel bin, and the rod body enters the collection bin through the funnel bin and the drop tube for collection. When the rod body passes through the drop tube, it will hit the sensor, and the sensor will transmit the signal to the display device, so that it can be clearly understood that the rod body in the screw sleeve has been removed, which is convenient for realizing automated operation, saving trouble and labor, and effectively improving the yield rate.

[0018] The present invention also has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] After the screw sleeve is stamped, it can be transferred by the robotic arm, which effectively improves the operating efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
