Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of material conveying, and in particular relates to a passive screw length detection device and a screw conveying device. Background Art
[0002] Assembly refers to the combination of several parts of a product through tight fitting, snap-fitting, threaded connection, bonding, riveting, welding, etc. to obtain a finished product or semi-finished product that meets the predetermined dimensional accuracy and function. The assembly achieved by manual processing (contact, sorting, grabbing, moving, placing, applying force, etc.) of each part is called manual assembly. The assembly completed without manual processing (contact, sorting, grabbing, moving, placing, applying force, etc.) of parts is called automatic assembly. The semi-automatic assembly is between the two. Screws are the most commonly used parts 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 fixed position within a certain period of time and make them in the desired posture. In the prior art, there are many implementation plans for screw conveyors, but most of them need 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 transportation of screws of other specifications through structural improvements, and the scrap rate is high, which increases the equipment investment cost. Summary of the invention
[0003] 1. Technical issues to be solved
[0004] In view of the prior art, there are many implementation plans for screw conveyors, but most of them need to be customized according to the use environment. The customized design makes the research and development, installation and debugging cycle of the screw conveyor longer. After the production task is completed, the customized screw conveyor cannot be used for the transportation of screws of other specifications through structural improvement, the discard rate is high, and the equipment investment cost is increased. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a passive screw length detection device and a screw conveying device. The detection device can detect screws of different lengths mixed together to prevent screws that do not meet the length requirements from entering the tightening assembly section; the screw conveying device is provided with a detection device and a nail separation mechanism. The screws are adjusted from a bulk and disordered state to a neatly arranged state and enter the nail separation mechanism, and then the detection device detects the length of the screws one by one, with high detection sensitivity and high work efficiency. The nail separation mechanism and the detection device are the basic configurations of the screw conveying device. The front and rear conveying links can be adaptively modified according to the use requirements. The working environment adaptability is strong, and the screw conveying tasks under various nail removal purposes can be achieved, reducing the difficulty of equipment development and saving equipment investment costs.
[0005] 2. Technical solution
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose and the above technical effect, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A passive screw length detection device, characterized by comprising 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; the 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 comprises a first connecting plate and a first spring, a first long slot is arranged on the first mounting plate, the first connecting plate is connected to the first long slot 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 slot is arranged on the first mounting plate, a second connecting plate is connected to the second long slot by bolts, and the second connecting plate is connected to the first pressing plate; preferably, the dial rod is provided with a third long slot, and the dial rod is connected to the dial piece through the third long slot and bolts; the first spring, the dial piece, and the first pressing plate are provided with a connection structure with long slots, so that the passive screw length detection device can be adjusted according to the screw specifications and is applicable to the length detection of multiple specifications of screws.
[0008] When the screw conveying device works, the screw dividing plate of the screw dividing mechanism rotates the screw to the passive screw length detection device. The first pressing plate presses the screw from above. The screw head is between the screw dividing plate and the first pressing plate and will not jump due to the force of the dial piece on the screw rod. The screw dividing plate rotates, making the lower end of the screw rod contact the dial piece. The dial piece drives the dial rod to press down, so that the rotating shaft of the angle sensor rotates; the other end of the dial rod 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 screw dividing plate continues to rotate, carrying the screw to the nail taking area for corresponding nail taking operations, and the reset assembly resets the dial rod 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 screw is in a conveyed state, and the working efficiency is high.

The center of the nail separating disk is connected to the intermittent driving mechanism, and the intermittent driving mechanism drives the nail separating disk to rotate intermittently. The nail separating grooves on the nail separating disk rotate intermittently and are sequentially butted with the feeding port for nail separating and feeding. The nail separating disk is arranged between the first pressing plate and the dial. 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 limit plate, and the nail taking station is arranged at the intermittent stop position of the nail separating disk after the passive screw length detection device. Preferably, the intermittent driving mechanism is connected to the 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 Geneva wheel assembly. The driving motor drives the Geneva wheel assembly to rotate, and the Geneva wheel assembly is connected to the nail separating disk to drive the nail separating disk to rotate intermittently.
[0010] Furthermore, the nail separating mechanism further includes a first pair of photoelectric sensors. The first pair of photoelectric sensors are arranged at the nail taking station to detect whether the screw reaches the nail taking station.

The paddle 4 drives the lever 3 to press down, thus rotating the rotating shaft of the angle sensor 2; the other end of the lever 3 drives the 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 13 continues to rotate, bringing the screws to the nail taking area for corresponding nail taking operations, and the reset assembly resets the lever 3 and the angle sensor 2; 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.
