Description

Technical Field

[0002] Before loading and assembling hardware workpieces, the valves need to be automatically loaded and oriented. The efficiency of manual orientation selection is very low. At this time, an automatic loading and orientation selection device is needed to perform the orientation selection work.

[0003] The traditional vibration plate is used to select the direction of the valve for feeding. Since multiple valves are placed in the vibration plate at the same time, collisions occur between the valves, the noise frequency is very high, and the noise has high penetration. When the noise test is carried out in a space of 20 to 30 square meters, the noise reaches about 110-120 decibels. At the same time, the valve is difficult to align during the whole row feeding process. Since the vibration plate is continuously selected during feeding, a valve may have to be reciprocated many times, and the success rate is very low. It is estimated that the success rate of the vibration plate is less than 20%. At the same time, the valve will cause wear during the continuous selection process, and it cannot adapt to the requirements of faster feeding. Summary of the invention

Then the first unloading unit 64 is opened, and then the rotating unit 612 is rotated 53.3 degrees again, so that the valve passes through the unloading track 621 and then enters the discharge pipe through the blocking unit 611. The blocking unit 611 will block the defective valve, and then the valve will complete the upward feeding work. Specific embodiment 2

[0048] After the valve enters the direction selection mechanism body 1 through the feed pipe, it will first enter the direction selection cavity 13, and then drive the fixing plate 23 through the first positioning component 21, and then move on the slide 27 through the fixing plate 23. At this time, the second positioning component 22 will position the valve, and the detection unit 15 will identify the direction of the valve. After the second positioning component 22 is completed, the upper push unit 3 will push the valve out of the direction selection cavity 13, and then push it through the pushing unit 4, and the valve will enter the second guide track. 52, the introduction unit 53 will introduce the valve into the conveying chamber 14 formed by the guide arc plate 57 and the first unloading seat 67, and then the rotating unit 612 drives the unloading rotating plate 613 to rotate 66.7 degrees and then be installed in the valve, and then the first unloading unit 64 is opened, and then the rotating unit 612 rotates 53.3 degrees, so that the valve passes through the unloading track 621 and then passes through the blocking unit 611 to enter the discharge pipe, the blocking unit 611 will block the defective valve, and the valve will complete the upward feeding work.
