Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of spectacle production equipment, and particularly to a feeding device and a spectacle nose pad connector production equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the composition structure of spectacles, spectacles usually consist of lenses, frames, temple arms, and nose pads. Among them, a nose pad connector (commonly known as a pipe or wine cup) is usually used to connect between the frame and the nose pad. One end of the nose pad connector is used to be welded to the frame, and the other end of the nose pad connector supports the nose pad. The nose pad connector is formed by welding a connecting rod and a mounting cap. The connecting rod is used to be welded to the frame, and the mounting cap is used to mount the nose pad.

[0003] In traditional nose pad connector production operations, the feeding device and the welding device are both arranged on the same machine table. Therefore, a whole machine equipment can only produce one type of nose pad connector (one machine only produces one type of connector. In this case, enterprises need to purchase multiple different types of whole equipment, which greatly increases the purchase cost). The cost of purchasing the whole machine will lead to an increase in the production cost of the pipe, and at the same time, the repair of a part of the whole machine will also cause delays in the production schedule, which is not conducive to production.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the present invention.

[0025] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0026] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", "coupled", "fixed", etc. shall be construed in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "on" or "under" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are indirectly in contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over" and "on top of" the second feature may be that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the first feature has a higher horizontal height than the second feature.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the present invention provides a feeding device. The feeding device 100 includes a frame 100, on which a pipe bowl feeding mechanism 200 and a pipe stem feeding mechanism 300 are arranged. The frame 100 is used to be combined with a spectacle nose pad connector production device (hereinafter referred to as the production device). By combining feeding devices of different models onto the production device, it is possible to produce multiple models of nose pad connectors according to requirements on one production device.

[0029] Specifically, a positioning mechanism 400 is arranged on one side of the frame 100. The positioning mechanism 400 is used to detachably combine the feeding device with the production device.

[0030] Preferably, the positioning mechanism 400 includes a positioning plate 410 and a connection buckle 420. One end of the positioning plate 410 is fixedly connected to the frame 100, and the other end of the positioning plate 410 is used to be buckled with the production device. At the same time, a plurality of positioning grooves 411 are formed on the positioning plate 410. When the positioning plate 410 is buckled with the production device, the positioning grooves 411 can adjust the distance between the feeding device and the production device, further improving the combination accuracy of the two.

[0031] In the above solution, the connection buckle 420 includes a support rod 421 and a buckle lock 422. One end of the support rod 421 is fixedly connected to the frame 100, and the other end of the support rod 421 is fixed to the buckle lock 422 by bolts. The buckle lock 422 is used to be buckled onto the production device.

[0032] It should be explained that there has always been a well-known but currently unsolved problem in this industry. In previous production devices, the price of a single device was very expensive, and a single device could only produce a single model of nose pad connector. When an enterprise needed to produce multiple models of nose pad connectors, it had to purchase multiple different models of devices, increasing the production cost of the enterprise. At the same time, when a certain component needed to be repaired on one device, the entire device could not continue to be used, seriously affecting the production efficiency. The present invention combines the feeding device with the production device in a detachable manner, and different models of feeding devices can be assembled according to requirements on one production device. Thus, it is possible to produce multiple models of nose pad connectors on the same device, which can not only effectively reduce the production cost of the enterprise, but also replace the feeding device according to the repair status, effectively ensuring the project efficiency of the enterprise's production.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, in the above solution, the pipe feeder 200 includes a first vibrating tray 210, a pushing component 220 and a picking component 230. Pipe fittings are placed in the first vibrating tray 210. The feeding end of the first vibrating tray 210 conveys the pipes to the pushing component 220. Further, the pushing component 220 pushes the pipes to a predetermined position, and the picking component 230 picks up the pipes and then conveys them to the fixture (not marked in the attached drawing) of the production equipment.

[0034] Specifically, the pushing component 220 includes a guiding frame 221. A guiding groove 2210 is formed in the guiding frame 221. One end of the guiding frame 221 abuts against the first vibrating tray 210. The feeding end of the first vibrating tray 210 is communicated with the guiding groove 2210. The other end of the guiding frame 221 is provided with a guiding slideway 222. The guiding slideway 222 is communicated with the guiding groove 2210. A pushing plate 2211 is movably arranged in the guiding groove 2210. The pushing plate 2211 is controlled by a lead screw assembly, and the lead screw assembly can be controlled in the way of a lead screw, a motor and a lead screw nut.

[0035] At the other end of the guiding frame 221, a push rod device 223 is further provided. The pushing device 223 is arranged on the side of the guiding frame 221 away from the guiding slideway 222.

[0036] Preferably, the push rod device 223 is driven by a cylinder. A push rod is arranged at the output end of the cylinder. The push rod is used to push the pipe from the guiding frame 221 into the guiding slideway 222.

[0037] It can be understood that when the first vibrating tray 210 provides the pipes and conveys the pipes into the guiding groove 2210, the pushing plate 2211 pushes the pipes from one end of the guiding groove 2210 to the other end. At this time, the push rod device 223 conveys the pipes into the guiding slideway 222 for the picking component 230 to clamp. After the picking component 230 clamps the pipes, it conveys them to the fixture of the production equipment.

[0038] The picking component 230 can be clamped by a manipulator. Of course, a movable fixture can also be set for clamping. This is a mature existing technology, so it will not be elaborated too much here.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 5 , on the basis of the above solution, preferably, a position adjustment rotating shaft 240 is arranged between the guiding slideway 222 and the guiding frame 221. The position adjustment rotating shaft 240 is used to adjust the position of the pipe.

[0040] It should be explained that screw holes are formed in some models of pipes. When welding, it is necessary to ensure that the position of the pipe is at the welding position (that is, the screw holes should face the direction of the pushing slideway 222).

[0041] Specifically, a receiving hole is formed in the position adjustment rotating shaft 240. The relative position of the tobacco pipe in the material guiding groove 2210 is detected by a position sensor. Assuming that the screw hole on the tobacco pipe faces the material guiding slideway 222, the push rod device 223 pushes the tobacco pipe into the receiving hole, and at this time, the position adjustment rotating shaft 240 does not rotate; when the direction of the screw hole faces the material guiding slideway 222, the push rod device 223 pushes the tobacco pipe into the receiving hole, and at this time, the position adjustment rotating shaft 240 rotates, further swapping the position of the tobacco pipe, so as to keep all tobacco pipe accessories in the same position state.

[0042] Preferably, when the tobacco pipe enters the material guiding groove 2210, a photoelectric sensor can be arranged on the material guiding frame 221. Since a penetrating threaded hole is formed in the tobacco pipe, the position of the tobacco pipe can be detected by the photoelectric sensor. Of course, the technology of how to use the sensor to detect the position of the tobacco pipe is a mature prior art.

[0043] In the above solution, the tobacco rod feeding mechanism 300 includes a second vibrating tray 320 and a clamping assembly 330. A feeding frame 310 is arranged at the feeding end of the second vibrating tray 320. Tobacco rod accessories are placed in the second vibrating tray 320, and further driven onto the feeding frame 310. The clamping assembly 330 clamps the tobacco rods on the feeding frame 310 and then drives them onto the fixture on the production equipment.

[0044] Preferably, the clamping assembly 330 is driven by a cylinder, and at the same time, the clamping action of the tobacco rod is performed in the way of a manipulator. Of course, the manipulator is a mature technology, so no more details will be described about it.

[0045] In the above solution, the feeding device is an integral unit. Different feeding devices can provide different types of tobacco pipe accessories and tobacco rod accessories. When assembling the feeding device onto the production equipment, replacing the fixture on the production equipment can realize the production of different types of nose pad connectors on one production equipment according to requirements. This solution can greatly reduce the production cost of the enterprise.

[0046] The present invention also provides a production equipment, which includes any one of the above feeding device solutions, that is, a production equipment for spectacle nose pad connectors including the feeding device in the above solutions all belongs to the scope disclosed by the present invention.
