[0050] The working process of the present invention:
[0051] In the first step, the material is loaded through three vibrating plates 8, wherein the horizontal clamping plate enters the longitudinal slide groove at the top of the positioning block 61, the torsion spring is on one side of the horizontal clamping plate, and the vertical clamping plate is transported vertically to the end of the conveying channel 81.
[0052] In the second step, the finger cylinder A3 clamps the torsion spring and sends it to the positioning groove of the horizontal clamp through the first drive mechanism 2; at this time, the slide cylinder D621 pushes the T-shaped push plate 62 to slide along the longitudinal slide groove, and the T-shaped push plate 62 pushes the horizontal clamp to move and clamp it under the pressure block 63.
[0053] In the third step, finger cylinder B5 grips the vertical clamp and, through the second drive mechanism 4, moves it in front of the limit cylinder 65. At this point, the vertical clamp slides into the guide groove on the end face of the pusher block 66. The limit cylinder 65 inserts the push rod into the top of the elongated hole in the vertical clamp, aligning the bottom plate of the vertical clamp with the corresponding point on the horizontal clamp. Finger cylinder B5 releases the vertical clamp and moves away.
[0054] In the fourth step, the pressure block 63 moves downward via the vertical drive assembly, pressing the bottom plate of the vertical clamp against the corresponding position of the horizontal clamp, forcing the torsion spring between the positioning slots of the vertical and horizontal clamps. The elongated protrusion 635 on the pressure block 63 slides from the top of the elongated hole in the vertical clamp and presses against the bottom of the elongated hole, completing the compression of the vertical clamp; the push rod on the limit cylinder 65 and the elongated protrusion 635 do not interfere with each other.
[0055] Step 5: With slide 73 stationary, an external nail feeder inserts rivet 78 through the air pipe and guide shaft 76. One end of rivet 78 contacts the corresponding hole in the horizontal clamp. At this point, the push rod of positioning cylinder 77 extends into top block A75 and blocks rivet 78, placing it between the horizontal clamp and top block A75. Slide cylinder E731 then pushes top block A75 against rivet 78, completing the assembly of the special-shaped clip.
[0056] For the assembled special-shaped clip, the rivet 78 on it will expose 2 mm to 3 mm from the horizontal clamping plate. At this time, the slide plate 73 driven by the cylinder C72 can move, so that the top block B74 faces the rivet 78. At this time, the slide table cylinder F732 pushes the top block B74 to press the rivet 78, so that the rivet 78 completely enters the horizontal bottom plate, and the assembly of the special-shaped clip is completed.
[0057] In the sixth step, the pressing block 63 moves upward to leave the special-shaped clip, and the finger cylinder B5 clamps the vertical clamping plate on the special-shaped clip. At this time, the cylinder A67 drives the pushing block 66 to retract, the limit cylinder 65 resets, the T-shaped push plate 62 resets, and the finger cylinder B5 transports the assembled special-shaped clip into the storage box 11 through the second driving mechanism 4.
[0058] The present invention can be outlined in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or main features of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the above embodiments of the present invention can only be considered as an illustration of the present invention and cannot limit the present invention. The claims point out the scope of the present invention, while the above description does not point out the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any change within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims of the present invention should be considered as being included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
