Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of material conveying, and particularly relates to a feeding slide rail cleaning and screening mechanism and a screw conveying device. Background Art
[0002] Assembly refers to combining several components of a product together by means of tight fitting, snap fitting, screw connection, adhesion, riveting, welding, etc. to obtain a finished or semi-finished product that meets the predetermined dimensional accuracy and functions. The assembly achieved by manually processing (contacting, sorting, grasping, moving, placing, applying force, etc.) each component is called manual assembly. The assembly that does not require manual processing (contacting, sorting, grasping, moving, placing, applying force, etc.) of components is called automatic assembly. The one between the two is semi-automatic assembly. Screws are the most commonly used components in assembly, and are mostly supplied in bulk. A key task in automatic assembly is to separate the bulk screws and bring them to a certain fixed position and make them in the desired posture within a certain time. In the prior art, there are many implementation schemes for screw conveyors, but most of them do not have the function of cleaning screws, resulting in the dust and debris carried by the screws being brought into the tightening and assembly section, affecting the performance of the products to be tightened; in addition, the screw conveyor needs to be customized according to the use environment, and the customized design makes the research and development, installation, and commissioning cycle of the screw conveyor longer. After the production task is completed, the customized screw conveyor cannot be used for the conveying of other specifications of screws through structural improvement, and the waste rate is high, increasing the equipment investment cost. Summary of the Invention
[0003] 1. Technical Problems to be Solved
[0004] In the prior art, there are many implementation schemes for screw conveyors, but most of them do not have the function of screw cleaning, resulting in the dust and debris carried by the screws being brought into the tightening process, which affects the performance of the products to be tightened. In addition, the screw conveyor needs to be customized according to the use environment. The customized design makes the research and development, installation and commissioning cycle of the screw conveyor longer. After the production task is completed, the customized screw conveyor cannot be used for the conveying of other specifications of screws through structural improvement, and the waste rate is high, increasing the equipment investment cost. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a feeding slide rail cleaning and screening mechanism and a screw conveying device, which clean the surface of the screws during the screw conveying process to prevent them from entering the tightening and assembly section and affecting the final performance of the products. The present invention also provides a screw conveying device with a length detection device and a nail sorting mechanism. The screws are adjusted from a bulk and disordered state to an orderly arrangement state and enter the nail sorting mechanism, and then each screw is detected for its length by the length detection device, and the screws with different lengths mixed together are detected, so as to prevent the screws that do not meet the length requirements from entering the tightening and assembly section. The detection sensitivity is high and the working efficiency is high. The nail sorting mechanism and the length detection device are used as the basic configurations of the screw conveying device, and can be adaptively modified for the front and rear conveying links according to the use requirements. The working environment adaptability is strong, and the screw conveying task under various nail-taking purposes can be realized, reducing the equipment development difficulty and saving the equipment investment cost.

[0013] Furthermore, a material level detection mechanism is provided at the upper part of the silo. The material level detection mechanism includes a first material level sensor and a second material level sensor. The first material level sensor is arranged at the lowest end face of the lower end of the silo, and the second material level sensor is arranged at the bottom of the feeding slide rail. The material level detection mechanism provides data for the system to monitor the screw material level.
[0014] Another object of the present invention is to provide a screw conveying device, which is characterized by comprising the above-mentioned feeding slide rail cleaning and screening mechanism, passive screw length detection device and nail separating mechanism. The passive screw length detection device includes a first mounting plate, an angle sensor, a dial rod, a dial piece, a first pressing plate and a reset assembly; the angle sensor is connected to the first mounting plate, the rotating shaft of the angle sensor is connected to the middle of the dial rod, the dial piece is connected to one end of the dial rod, and the reset assembly is connected to the other end of the dial rod; a first pressing plate is arranged above the dial piece; preferably, the angle sensor can be replaced by one of an encoder, a gyroscope and an inclination sensor; preferably, the reset assembly includes a first connecting plate and a first spring, a first long waist hole is arranged on the first mounting plate, the first connecting plate is connected to the first long waist hole by bolts, one end of the first spring is connected to the first connecting plate, and the other end is connected to the dial rod; preferably, a second long waist hole is arranged on the first mounting plate, a second connecting plate is connected to the second long waist hole by bolts, and the second connecting plate is connected to the first pressing plate; preferably, the dial rod is provided with a third long waist hole, and the dial rod is connected to the dial piece through the third long waist hole and bolts; the connection structure with long waist holes arranged for the first spring, the dial piece and the first pressing plate enables the passive screw length detection device to be adjusted according to the screw specifications and is applicable to the length detection of multi-specification screws; the nail separating mechanism includes a nail separating limiting plate, a nail separating disc and an intermittent driving mechanism. A circular mounting hole and a feeding port are arranged on the nail separating limiting plate, the feeding port is communicated with the circular mounting hole, the nail separating disc is arranged in the circular mounting hole, and a plurality of nail separating grooves are arranged on the edge of the nail separating disc; the center of the nail separating disc is connected to the intermittent driving mechanism, the intermittent driving mechanism drives the nail separating disc to rotate intermittently, the nail separating grooves on the nail separating disc rotate intermittently and are sequentially butted with the feeding port to carry out nail separating and feeding; the nail separating disc is arranged between the first pressing plate and the dial piece; the passive screw length detection device is arranged at the intermittent stop position after the nail separating groove receives the screw and separates from the feeding port; a nail taking station is arranged on the nail separating limiting plate, and the nail taking station is arranged at the intermittent stop position of the nail separating disc after the passive screw length detection device; preferably, the intermittent driving mechanism is connected to a first mounting seat, and the first mounting plate is connected to the first mounting seat; preferably, the intermittent driving mechanism includes a driving motor and a grooved wheel assembly, the driving motor drives the grooved wheel assembly to rotate, and the grooved wheel assembly is connected to the nail separating disc to drive the nail separating disc to rotate intermittently.When the screw conveying device is working, the nail separating disc of the nail separating mechanism rotates with the screw to the passive screw length detection device. The first pressing plate presses the screw from above. The screw head is between the nail separating disc and the first pressing plate, and will not jump due to the acting force of the dial on the screw rod. The nail separating disc rotates, so that the lower end of the screw rod contacts the dial, and the dial drives the lever to press down, thereby rotating the rotating shaft of the angle sensor; the other end of the lever drives the first spring to stretch. If the screw length is fixed, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft is the same. If the rotation angle of the rotating shaft changes, it is determined that the screw is not of the set length; the nail separating disc continues to rotate, bringing the screw to the nail taking area for corresponding nail taking operations, and the reset assembly resets the lever and the angle sensor; the setting of the passive screw length detection device can prevent screws that do not meet the set length from entering the subsequent assembly and tightening process, ensuring the assembly quality. During the whole detection process, the screws are in a conveyed state, with high working efficiency.
[0015] Further, the nail separating mechanism further includes a first pair of light sensors, and the first pair of light sensors are arranged at the nail taking station to detect whether the screw reaches the nail taking station.
[0016] Further, the nail separating mechanism further includes a nail supporting mechanism. The nail supporting mechanism includes a nail supporting anti-rotation cylinder. The piston rod of the nail supporting anti-rotation cylinder is arranged below the nail separating disc, and the movement path of the piston rod is close to / away from the center of the nail separating disc. The nail supporting anti-rotation cylinder is connected to the nail separating limiting plate through a nail supporting connecting block. The end of the piston rod of the nail supporting anti-rotation cylinder is connected to a nail supporting block. After the screw is brought to the nail taking station by the nail separating disc, the piston rod of the nail supporting anti-rotation cylinder extends out, so that the nail supporting block abuts against the screw rod. The screw rod is straightened under the action of the nail separating groove wall surface and the nail supporting block; the nail supporting mechanism is used for straightening the spring washer combination screws, and when taking the external hexagon head screws, preventing the external hexagon head screws from rotating with the nail taking mechanism, so that the external hexagon screws can be quickly picked up.
[0017] Further, the nail separating mechanism further includes a bit guide plate and a limiting mechanism. The bit guide plate and the limiting mechanism are both arranged at the nail taking station. At the intermittent stop of the nail separating groove at the nail taking station, the nail taking guide groove is arranged on the nail separating limiting plate. A V-shaped groove is arranged on the bit guide plate, and the V-shaped groove is inclined. The bottom of the V-shaped groove is on the connection line of the nail taking guide groove and the nail separating groove. The limiting mechanism includes a retaining piece, a return spring, and a limiting screw. The retaining piece is arranged at the lower part of the nail separating limiting plate. A first rotating shaft is arranged in the middle of the retaining piece. One end of the retaining piece is a limiting end, which is set as a circular arc concentric with the nail separating disc. The end of the limiting end closes the notch of the nail separating groove to fix the screw in the nail separating groove. The other end of the retaining piece is a return end, and the return end is connected with the return spring. The limiting screw is arranged on the same side as the return spring and is in abutting connection with the return end. The limiting screw limits the rotation angle of the retaining piece during reset to prevent the limiting end of the retaining piece from rigidly colliding with the nail separating disc due to the pulling force of the return spring. Preferably, a plurality of connection holes with different distances from the first rotating shaft are arranged at the return end, which is convenient for connecting with the return spring, so that the same return spring can provide different pulling forces. Preferably, a long waist-shaped hole is arranged on the bit guide plate in the vertical direction to fix the bit guide plate and facilitate the adjustment of the distance from the screw head. When the electric screwdriver takes the nail, the nail separating groove pauses at the nail taking station and corresponds to the nail taking guide groove. The bit is placed in the V-shaped groove of the bit guide plate. The bit slides to the screw head. After the screw recognizes the cap, the electric screwdriver moves along the nail taking guide groove away from the nail separating groove. When the screw rod leaves the nail separating groove, it contacts the limiting end of the retaining piece. The retaining piece rotates around the first rotating shaft, and the return spring is stretched. The limiting end is brought under the nail separating limiting plate on both sides of the nail taking guide groove. The screw rod separates from the limiting end, and the nail taking is completed. The return spring drives the retaining piece to reset.
[0018] Further, the nail separating mechanism further includes an electric screwdriver guide block. The electric screwdriver guide block is provided with a guide hole, and the inner wall of the guide hole matches the shape of the bit of the electric screwdriver. The guide hole is arranged directly above the intermittent stop of the nail separating groove at the nail taking station. Preferably, the electric screwdriver guide block is fixed by a long waist-shaped hole and a bolt in the vertical direction, which is convenient for adjusting the distance from the screw head.

[0020] Further, the nail separating mechanism further includes a second feeding block, a second screw collecting box, a third screw collecting box, and a feeding guide mechanism; the second feeding block is arranged at the intermittent stop position of the nail separating groove at the nail taking station, and the rotation of the nail separating disc and the blocking of the second feeding block cause the screws to fall from the nail separating groove; the second screw collecting box, the feeding guide mechanism, and the third screw collecting box are arranged in parallel in sequence, and the second screw collecting box is arranged below the nail separating groove; a second flipping box cover is arranged at the bottom of the second screw collecting box; the second flipping box cover is connected to the second screw collecting box through a second rotating shaft, one end of the second rotating shaft is connected to a second V-shaped reset rod, one end of a wing plate of the second V-shaped reset rod contacts a second sensor, and the other end of the wing plate is connected to a second closing spring; the second closing spring drives the second rotating shaft to keep the second flipping box cover in a closed state with the second screw collecting box. At this time, the second sensor contacts the second V-shaped reset rod, and the nail separating disc rotates intermittently to convey the screws to the nail taking station; a third flipping box cover is arranged at the bottom of the third screw collecting box; the third flipping box cover is connected to the third screw collecting box through a third rotating shaft, one end of the third rotating shaft is connected to a third V-shaped reset rod, one end of a wing plate of the third V-shaped reset rod contacts a third sensor, and the other end of the wing plate is connected to a third closing spring; the third closing spring drives the third rotating shaft to keep the third flipping box cover in a closed state with the third screw collecting box. At this time, the third sensor contacts the third V-shaped reset rod, and the nail separating disc rotates intermittently to convey the screws to the nail taking station; the second screw collecting box and the third screw collecting box are respectively used to receive the screws with lengths meeting the assembly requirements and the screws with lengths not meeting the assembly requirements; when the screws fall from the nail separating groove, the movement of the feeding guide mechanism causes the screws to fall into the corresponding screw collecting boxes; the feeding guide mechanism includes a feeding guide plate, a transmission belt, and a driving motor. The feeding guide plate is arranged between the second screw collecting box and the third screw collecting box. The feeding guide plate is connected to a driven wheel, and the driven wheel is connected to the driving motor by belt drive. Using a belt can cause the transmission belt to slip when the transmission encounters resistance, avoiding motor overload; assuming that the second screw collecting box is used to collect the screws with lengths meeting the assembly requirements and the third screw collecting box is used to collect the screws with lengths not meeting the assembly requirements; the passive screw length detection device detects the screw length. When the screw meets the requirements, the feeding guide plate is vertical or rotates towards the third screw collecting box, causing the screw to fall into the second screw collecting box. When the screw does not meet the requirements, the feeding guide plate rotates towards the second screw collecting box, causing the screw to fall into the third screw collecting box. When the number of screws in the second screw collecting box reaches the predetermined collection quantity, press the second flipping box cover to make the screws fall from the second flipping box cover. At this time, the second rotating shaft drives the second shaped reset rod to rotate, disengaging from contact with the second sensor. The second closing spring is stretched, and the second sensor transmits a signal, causing the nail separating disc to stop rotating intermittently. Release the pressing on the second flipping box cover, then the second closing spring drives the second V-shaped reset rod to reset, the second sensor contacts the V-shaped reset rod, and the nail separating disc continues to rotate to supply materials to the nail taking station.By the same principle, the screws in the third screw collection box can be emptied.
