Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a feeding device, in particular to a feeding device for a fully automatic assembly machine of clips for production. Background Art

[0002] Prestressed anchors are crucial components for ensuring that prestressed structures maintain their normal working order over time. They were developed in response to advances in the production technology for prestressed primary materials (high-strength rebar, wire, or strand). The current manufacturing process for clip-type anchors involves sawing the material into the desired product size. The first step is forging the target workpiece to impart hardness and strength. The second step involves turning the workpiece to a certain taper, stamping text markings on the bottom and sides, and tapping the inside of the target workpiece to ensure the fit between the workpiece and the strand. Finally, the clip is slotted, creating a groove approximately the same size as the inner diameter of an O-ring. This allows the O-ring to combine the two clips into a single unit. After the rings are assembled, the clip pair undergoes quality inspection and is then stored.

[0003] With the rapid development of society, improving the production conditions of various industries will be a difficult problem. Replacing manual labor with fully automatic equipment and liberating people from harsh and dangerous production environments is a goal and a trend. Automated equipment has the advantages of high efficiency, high efficiency, high quality, and reduced costs. However, many clip production companies currently still use manual ring-making when assembling clips, and still use manual loading when loading. Only a small number of companies use semi-automatic machine ring-making and semi-automatic loading. The traditional manual ring-making method requires physical labor, and the reciprocating production cycle will make people feel tired. In addition, the poor production environment leads to reduced work efficiency and increased manufacturing costs. Output no longer meets market demand, and the manual loading steps are cumbersome and increase labor costs, which reduces corporate profits. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a feeding device for a fully automatic assembly machine of clips for production.

[0005] The technical solution to solve the above technical problems is: a loading device for a fully automatic assembly machine for production clips, including a storage device, a loading device and a transmission device, the storage device, the loading device and the transmission device are respectively arranged on the bracket, the clip is placed on the storage device, and the clip is loaded onto the transmission device through the loading device; the storage device includes a hopper, the loading device includes a pusher plate, the transmission device includes a material channel and a straight vibrator, and the pusher plate and the hopper are respectively installed in an inclined state; the pusher plate includes a fixed plate and a pusher plate, the fixed plate is fixedly arranged on the bracket, and the pusher plate is arranged in front of the fixed plate by connecting with the cylinder; the material channel is connected to the straight vibrator, and the clips on the material channel are transmitted by the vibration of the straight vibrator, and a direction turning device, a flipping direction device and a biasing device are provided on the material channel, and the direction turning device, the flipping direction device and the biasing device are used to turn the direction, flip the direction and bias the clips being transmitted in turn.

[0006] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the upper end surface of the push plate is a slope, the push plate includes push plate I and push plate II, push plate I is located at the lower end of push plate II, the hopper is located at the lower end of push plate I, push plate I pushes the clip of the hopper to push plate II, and push plate II pushes the clip to the transmission device.

[0007] Pushing plate I includes fixed plate I and pushing plate I, pushing plate II includes fixed plate II and pushing plate II, pushing plate I pushes the clip at the hopper to fixed plate I, pushing plate II pushes the clip at fixed plate I to the top of fixed plate II and drops it to the transmission device.

[0008] Pushing method: Push plate I moves down to the hopper and is lower than the hopper, and the clip slides onto push plate I. When push plate I moves up to fixed plate I, the clip on push plate I slides onto fixed plate I. When push plate II moves down to fixed plate I, the clip on fixed plate I slides onto push plate II. Push plate II moves up to push the clip on it and drops it onto the transmission device.

[0009] The material channels include channel I, channel II, channel III and channel IV; the pushing plate pushes the clip onto channel I, and channel II is located below the discharge port of channel I. Due to the height difference between channel I and channel II, the upright clip on channel I tilts into a horizontal state when it is conveyed to channel II; the direction-changing device is provided on channel II, and when the small end of the clip on channel II faces forward, the direction-changing device is used to change the direction of the clip so that the large end faces forward; the flipping device is provided on channel III, and when the arc surface of the clip on channel III faces upward, the flipping device is used to flip the clip into a flat surface facing upward; the biasing device is provided on channel IV, and at this time, the clip conveyed to channel IV is in a horizontal state with the arc surface facing downward and the large end facing forward, and the clip on channel IV continues to be conveyed forward, and the biasing device is used to make the clip stand sideways to form a biased state.

[0010] The reversing device includes an arc-shaped slide, a reversing baffle and a baffle. The baffle is fixed on the material channel II. The distance between the baffle and the upper end of the arc-shaped slide forms a reversing entrance. One end of the reversing baffle is fixed on the baffle, and the reversing baffle is located in the reversing entrance. The distance between the reversing baffle and the arc-shaped slide is half the height of the clip. The two ends of the arc-shaped slide are respectively connected to the material channel II and the material channel III. The clip enters the reversing entrance and slides from the material channel II to the material channel III through the arc-shaped slide.

[0011] Method of changing direction: Since the clip is a semicircular structure with one end larger than the other end, the center of gravity of the clip is located at the large end. The dividing line is half the height of the clip, and the center of gravity of the clip deviates from the dividing line and deviates toward the large end. When the small end of the clip faces forward, the center of gravity is located behind the dividing line. The clip will exceed the dividing line when moving to the turning entrance, that is, the clip needs to move forward more than half the height of the clip before it falls. At this time, the small end of the clip will continue to move forward to the turning block, and the turning block will block the falling of the small end. At this time, the large end of the clip with the center of gravity toward the large end will first fall into the turning entrance and slide through the arc slide. The clip now changes direction so that the large end faces forward.

[0012] The flipping direction device includes a transition channel and an L-shaped plate. The L-shaped plate is arranged at the upper end of the transition channel. The distance between the L-shaped plate and the side wall of the transition channel forms a flipping entrance. The distance between the L-shaped plate and the side wall of the transition channel is the radius of the clip. When the clip on channel III is conveyed and falls into channel IV, the clip moves to the L-shaped plate and flips through the flipping entrance, falls into the transition channel and is then conveyed to channel IV.

[0013] Flip direction method: Since the clip is an arc-shaped semicircular structure, the center of gravity of the clip is located at the arc convex outward. When the clip on the material channel III is arc-faced upward, the center of gravity of the clip is located above. When the clip passes through the flip entrance, since the flip entrance width is the clip radius, the clip needs to fall sideways. Under the influence of the center of gravity, the clip flips during the falling process to form an arc-faced downward fall. At this time, the clip that falls on the transition material channel flips to become an arc-faced downward state.

[0014] The biasing device includes a rounded corner reversing block, which is a wedge-shaped structure with one end higher than the other. The edge of one side of the upper end of the rounded corner reversing block is an arc-shaped chamfered structure. The rounded corner reversing block is arranged on the material channel IV and forms a biasing channel with the side wall of the material channel IV. The distance between the rounded corner reversing block and the side wall of the material channel IV is the radius of the clip. This distance is the biasing channel. When the clip enters the biasing channel, the arc surface of the clip contacts the rounded corner of the biasing channel and stands sideways along the rounded corner offset, so that the clip changes from a lying state to a sideways state. The clip is in the sideways state when it enters the material channel IV.

[0015] The upper end surface of the push plate is an inclined surface, and the upper end surface of the push plate is an inclined surface inclined downward by 20°-30°.

[0016] The length of the rotating baffle is greater than or equal to half the height of the clamping piece. The rotating baffle is installed in an inclined manner, and the rotating baffle is inclined downward by 10°-15°.

[0017] The loading device is used to load and transfer a half clip. The two loading devices load the clips together and transfer them to the clip installation device. The two loading devices are arranged side by side, and the biasing devices are in a symmetrical state. They can bias the two clips into a relative position, with the planes of the two clips facing each other. The clip installation device then installs the two opposing semicircular clips into a circular whole clip.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the feeding device of the fully automatic assembly machine for production clips of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The present invention completes automatic loading of clips through a loading device. The clips are placed on a storage device, and the loading device loads the clips onto a transmission device. The transmission device also turns the direction, flips the direction, and offsets the clips, so that the clips finally form a horizontal state with the arc surface facing downward and the large end facing forward, and then the clips can be unloaded and installed.

[0020] The technical features of the feeding device of the fully automatic assembly machine for production clips of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] A loading device for a fully automatic assembly machine for production clips includes a storage device, a loading device, and a transmission device. The storage device, loading device, and transmission device are respectively arranged on a bracket. The clip is placed on the storage device and loaded onto the transmission device via the loading device. The storage device includes a hopper, the loading device includes a push plate, and the transmission device includes a material channel. The push plate and the hopper are respectively installed in an inclined state, and the upper end surface of the push plate is an inclined surface. The push plate includes push plate I and push plate II. Push plate I is located at the lower end of push plate II, and the hopper is located at the lower end of push plate I. Push plate I pushes the hopper near push plate I onto push plate II, and push plate II pushes the clip onto the transmission device. The material channel is provided with a direction-reversing device, a direction-flipping device, and a biasing device. The direction-reversing device, the direction-flipping device, and the biasing device are used to sequentially reverse, flip, and bias the clip being conveyed.

[0035] The pusher plate consists of a fixed plate and a pusher plate. The fixed plate is fixed to the bracket, and the pusher plate is connected to the cylinder and installed in front of the fixed plate. Pusher plate I consists of fixed plate I and pusher plate I, while pusher plate II consists of fixed plate II and pusher plate II. Pusher plate I pushes the clip at the hopper to fixed plate I, while pusher plate II pushes the clip at fixed plate I above fixed plate II and drops it to the conveyor. The top end of fixed plate II at the top of the pusher plate is a pointed surface to facilitate the clip's drop. The upper end surfaces of the remaining pusher plates are inclined surfaces. The thickness of the pusher plate is equal to the radius of the clip. Pushing method: Push plate I moves down to or below the hopper. Due to its tilted state and the up-and-down movement of the push plate, the clip slides onto push plate I. When push plate I moves up to fixed plate I, the upper end surfaces of push plate I and fixed plate I form a slope that slopes downward (inward) toward fixed plate I. The clip on push plate I now slides onto fixed plate I. When push plate II moves down to fixed plate I, the upper end surfaces of fixed plate I and push plate II form a slope that slopes downward (inward) toward push plate II. The clip on fixed plate I now slides onto push plate II. Push plate II moves up, pushing the clip upward and onto the conveyor. The upper end surface of the push plate is inclined downward by 20°-30°, with a slope of 25° in this embodiment. This inclined surface of the push plate facilitates the stacking of clips and facilitates the diagonal pouring of clips into the material channel.

[0036] The material channel is connected to the straight vibrating machine, and the vibration of the straight vibrating machine transfers the clips on the channel. The material channels include channel I, channel II, channel III, and channel IV. The push plate pushes the clips onto channel I. The clips that fall from the push plate onto channel I are in an upright state or a tilted state. Channel II is located below the discharge port of channel I, and a step-like height difference is formed between channels I and II. The upright clips on channel I are tilted into a horizontal state when they are transferred to channel II, so that the clips transferred to channel II are all in a tilted state and continue to be transferred forward. The clips on channel II have two states: one with the large end facing forward and the other with the small end facing forward (the conveying direction is forward, which is the front). Channel II is equipped with a reversing device. When the small end of the clip on channel II is facing forward, the reversing device allows the clips on channel II to be transferred to channel III, where they are reversed so that the large end faces forward, so that all the clips on channel III are in the large end facing forward state and continue to be transferred forward. The clips on channel III have two states: one with the curved surface (convex surface) facing upward and the other with the curved surface facing downward. Channel III is equipped with a reversing device. When the curved surface of the clip on channel III is facing upward, the reversing device allows the clips on channel III to be flipped to a flat surface (concave surface) facing upward when transferred to channel IV, so that all the clips on channel IV are in the curved surface facing downward state. At this time, the clips transferred to channel IV are all in a horizontal position with the curved surface facing downward and the large end facing forward. Channel IV is equipped with a biasing device. The clips on channel IV continue to be transferred forward, and the biasing device allows the clips to stand sideways, forming a biased state.

[0037] The reversing device includes an arc-shaped slide, a reversing baffle and a baffle. The arc-shaped slide and the baffle are respectively fixed at the outlet of the material channel II. The distance between the baffle and the upper end of the arc-shaped slide forms a reversing entrance. The distance between the baffle and the upper end of the arc-shaped slide is equal to or greater than the height of the clip. In this embodiment, the distance between the baffle and the upper end of the arc-shaped slide is slightly greater than the height of the clip (1-2 cm greater than the height of the clip). One end of the reversing baffle is fixed to the baffle, and the reversing baffle is located in the reversing entrance. The distance between the other end of the reversing baffle and the arc-shaped slide is half the height of the clip or slightly greater than half the height of the clip. The two ends of the arc-shaped slide are respectively connected to the material channel II and the material channel III. The clip enters the reversing entrance and slides from the material channel II to the material channel III through the arc-shaped slide. Since the clip is a semicircular structure with one end larger than the other end, the center of gravity of the clip is located at the large end. With half the height of the clip as the dividing line, the center of gravity of the clip deviates from the dividing line and deviates toward the large end. The baffle is installed in an inclined manner, tilted downward by 10°-15°. Specifically, the baffle is at an angle of 15° to the material channel. The length of the baffle is half the height of the clamp or greater than half the height of the clamp.

[0038] When the clip is conveyed to the turning entrance on channel II, when the large end of the clip faces forward, the center of gravity is located in front of the dividing line (large end end), and the center of gravity of the clip is also located in front of the dividing line. The clip will slide into the turning entrance without moving to the dividing line. At this time, the large end of the clip directly falls into the turning entrance and slides down through the curved slide without hitting the turning stopper. When the small end of the clip faces forward, the center of gravity is located behind the dividing line (large end end), and the center of gravity of the clip is also located behind the dividing line. The clip will not fall until it exceeds the dividing line when moving to the turning entrance. That is, the clip needs to move forward more than half of its height before it falls. At this time, the small end of the clip will continue to move forward to the turning stopper, and the turning stopper will block the small end to prevent it from falling first. At this time, the large end of the clip with the center of gravity biased towards the large end will first fall into the turning entrance and slide down through the curved slide, and the clip will reverse direction with the large end facing forward. Specifically, when the small end of the clip moves forward, the small end will move toward the position of the turning block. When the large end of the clip reaches the turning entrance, the large end of the clip will fall along the slide because its center of gravity is at the turning entrance. At this time, the clip successfully turns direction.

[0039] The reversing mechanism includes a transition channel and an L-shaped plate. The L-shaped plate is positioned at the top of the transition channel, and the gap between the L-shaped plate and the sidewall of the transition channel forms a reversing entrance. The gap between the L-shaped plate and the sidewall of the transition channel is equal to or slightly larger than the radius of the clip, so the clip enters the reversing entrance from the side. The transition channel is connected to Channels III and IV at both ends, respectively. The transition channel is located below the exit of Channel III. The L-shaped plate is flush with the bottom plate of Channel III, which is connected to the entrance of Channel IV. When the clip on Channel III is transferred and dropped into Channel IV, it moves onto the L-shaped plate and falls through the reversing entrance into the transition channel, where it is then transferred to Channel IV. Because the clip has an arc-shaped semicircular structure, its center of gravity is located at the outwardly convex arc. When the clip on Channel III is facing downward, its center of gravity is located downward. When the clip passes through the reversing entrance, it remains heavily weighted and falls downward into Channel III, where it remains facing downward. When the clip on channel III is in an arc-shaped upward position, the center of gravity of the clip is located at the top. When the clip passes through the flip entrance, since the width of the flip entrance is the radius of the clip, the clip needs to fall sideways. Under the influence of the center of gravity, the clip flips during the falling process to form an arc-shaped downward position. At this time, the clip that falls on the transition channel flips to a state with an arc-shaped downward position.

[0040] The offset device includes a rounded corner reversing block, which is a wedge-shaped structure with one end higher than the other. The edge of one side of the upper end of the rounded corner reversing block is an arc-shaped chamfered structure, and the chamfered structure is rounded. The rounded corner reversing block is set on the material channel IV and forms an offset channel with the side wall of the material channel IV. The distance between the rounded corner reversing block and the side wall of the material channel IV is the radius of the clip, and this distance is the offset channel. The width of the material channel IV is also the radius of the clip, so the clip can just stand sideways when it is in the material channel IV. When the clip enters the offset channel, the arc surface of the clip contacts the rounded corner of the offset channel and stands sideways along the rounded corner offset. The clip changes from a lying state to a sideways state. The clip is in a sideways state when it enters the material channel IV.

[0041] The loading device loads and delivers half a clip. Two loading devices load the clips together and transfer them to the clip installation device. The two loading devices are arranged side by side, and the offset devices are symmetrical, offsetting the two clips into opposing positions, with their planes facing each other. The two clips are fed into a discharge tube through a manifold, where they are discharged. The clip installation device then assembles the two opposing semicircular clips into a single, circular clip.

[0042] Specifically, this embodiment uses two loading devices for simultaneous loading. The clip storage device primarily consists of a hopper and a support frame. Two hoppers are provided, each consisting primarily of a base plate and side guards. Each hopper supplies clips to a separate, vertically vibrating channel, without interfering with each other. A trough is provided at the clip stacking area of each hopper to facilitate clip stacking and facilitate interaction with the push plate for pushing. The hoppers are positioned at a 65° angle to the floor, allowing the clips to accumulate in the trough, facilitating their placement onto the push plate.

[0043] The clip conveyor system consists of a feedway, a vibrating feedway, and a support frame. The feedway is connected to the vibrating feedway. The two vibrating feedways of the two loading devices are each connected to the vibrating feedway. The vibrating feedways are supported by support frames below. Each vibrating feedway has its own support frame to prevent interference between them. The entire conveyor system operates from top to bottom, making it easier for the clip to move toward the discharge port during movement. The feeding process is divided into three parts. When the push plate pushes the clip onto the vibrating feedway, the clip is transported by the vibration of the vibrating feedway. The clip then moves through the vibrating feedway to the discharge pipe. The feedway is primarily composed of a panel and a base plate.
