Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-7 As shown, an installation device for picture frame accessories includes a frame 1; a first vibrating plate 2 and a second vibrating plate 3, the discharge ports of the first vibrating plate 2 and the second vibrating plate 3 being respectively connected to a first guide column 201 and a second guide column 301; a rotating plate 10 is fixed to the frame 1 by a motor, and a suction block 11 extends outward from the edge of the rotating plate 10, the suction block 11 being used to connect and fix the workpiece to be fixed conveyed by the second guide column 301; a pressing mechanism 4 includes a first cylinder 401 and a pressure rod 402 connected to the first cylinder 401, the connecting parts on the first guide column 201 are conveyed to the bottom of the pressure rod 402, the rotating plate 10 rotates to convey the workpiece to be fixed on the suction block 11 to the bottom of the pressure rod 402, the pressure rod 402 presses down to fix the connecting parts and the workpiece to be fixed on the picture frame, completing the installation of the workpiece to be fixed. This invention has a compact structure, high production efficiency, eliminates manual operation steps, and has high safety performance.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a pushing mechanism and an upper lifting mechanism 9 are sequentially provided between the second guide column 301 and the rotating disk 10.

[0031] The pushing mechanism includes a second cylinder 8 and a push block 801 connected to the second cylinder 8. The push block 801 is provided with a workpiece positioning groove 802 on the side away from the second cylinder 8, and the workpiece positioning groove 802 is provided with a through hole.

[0032] The upper lifting mechanism 9 is located below the pushing mechanism. The upper lifting mechanism 9 includes a third cylinder 901. The third cylinder 901 is provided with a push pin. The push pin pushes the workpiece to be fixed in the workpiece positioning groove 802 to the lower part of the suction block 11 by passing through the through hole.

[0033] The workpiece to be fixed is conveyed to the workpiece positioning groove 802 on the push block 801 through the second guide column 301. The second cylinder 8 pushes forward to move the workpiece positioning groove 802 above the ejector pin. The third cylinder 901 pushes the ejector pin upward. The ejector pin passes through the through hole in the workpiece positioning groove 802 and lifts the workpiece to be fixed upward to below the suction block 11 on the rotating disk 10. Then the suction block 11 connects and fixes the workpiece to be fixed.

[0034] Specifically, a transfer discharge bin 7 is provided between the pushing mechanism and the second guide column 301. The second guide column 301 extends to the transfer storage bin 7, and the push block 801 is located below the transfer storage bin 7. The transfer storage bin 7 stacks the workpieces to be fixed in the correct direction.

[0035] Specifically, the suction block 11 is made of magnetic material, the ejector pin includes a first ejector pin 903 and a second ejector pin 904, and a top plate 902 is provided between the first and second ejector pins and the third cylinder 901. The workpiece to be fixed is generally made of magnetic material and is magnetically attracted by the suction block 11, making it convenient to pick up and put down. In addition, by setting the first and second ejector pins, the balance of the workpiece to be fixed can be ensured when it is pushed up, and it is not easy to tilt.

[0036] In another preferred embodiment of this invention, the first guide column 201 is provided with a material control mechanism 12. The material control mechanism 12 includes a fourth cylinder 1201, a connecting block 1202 on the fourth cylinder 1201, and a baffle 1203 on the connecting block 1202. The baffle 1203 is attached to the outside of the first guide column 201. The material control mechanism 12 ensures that only one connector on the first guide column 201 is conveyed to the lower pressing mechanism at any time to connect and fix the workpiece to be fixed.

[0037] Specifically, a positioning chamber 13 is provided below the first guide column 201. The positioning chamber 13 is located directly below the pressure rod 402. The connector on the first guide column 201 is conveyed into the positioning chamber 13. The pressure rod 402 presses down to fix the workpiece to be fixed to the picture frame through the connector in the positioning chamber 13.

[0038] Specifically, the frame 1 is provided with a worktable 6, which is located below the pressing mechanism 4, and the frame 1 is also provided with a control box 5.

[0039] In addition, the shapes of the holes on the workpiece to be fixed are different, and the shape of the second guide post 301 corresponds to the holes on the workpiece to be fixed, so that the workpiece to be fixed moves on the second guide post 301 in the same direction.

[0040] Workflow:

[0041] The first vibrating plate 2 and the second vibrating plate 3 respectively contain connectors (rivets) and workpieces to be fixed (picture frame fasteners). The workpieces to be fixed in the second vibrating plate 2 are conveyed to the transfer storage bin 7 by the second guide column 301 for stacking. The workpieces to be fixed are then sent to the workpiece positioning groove 802 on the push block 801 through the transfer storage bin 7. The second cylinder 8 pushes forward to move the workpiece positioning groove 802 above the ejector pin. The third cylinder 901 pushes the ejector pin upward. The ejector pin passes through the through hole in the workpiece positioning groove 802 and lifts the workpieces to be fixed upward to the suction block 1 on the rotating plate 10. Below 1, the suction block 11 connects and fixes the workpiece to be fixed; the connecting parts in the first vibrating plate 2 are conveyed to the positioning chamber 13 below the pressure rod 402 through the first guide column 201. The first guide column 201 is provided with a material control mechanism 12, which ensures that only one connecting part on the first guide column 201 is conveyed to the positioning chamber 13 at a time. The picture frame is placed on the workbench 6, and the first cylinder 401 drives the pressure rod 402 to press down on the positioning chamber 13. The connecting part is disengaged from the positioning chamber and the workpiece to be fixed is disengaged from the suction block 11 and fixed on the picture frame.
