Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic feeding of bowl-shaped plugs, and in particular to a travelling feeding device of a bowl-shaped plug press and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Bowl plug is a sealing part, mainly used in process holes of engine cylinder block, cylinder head, gearbox and other parts to prevent oil or water leakage.

[0003] The bowl plug feeding device is a device used for automatic feeding. This device not only includes feeding function, but also has pressing function. The feeding part distributes the bowl plug to the feeding station, and the pressing part pushes the bowl plug on the feeding station to the pressing station. In the current technology, when the press reaches the specified position, the feeding setting can usually only suck one bowl plug at a time and place it in the specified position. After the press is pressed, the feeding setting needs to suck the bowl plug again for discharge. This equipment and working method have low working efficiency and cannot meet the working requirements of the production line. Summary of the invention
