Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vibration plates, and in particular to a multi-posture adjustable vibration plate. Background Art

[0002] At present, vibration plates are widely used in industrial automation production lines, mainly for automatic sorting, directional conveying and arrangement of materials. Especially in the field of electronic component manufacturing, vibration plates can efficiently and quickly complete the orderly arrangement of small parts such as inductors, sensors or resistors, improve production efficiency, reduce manual intervention and reduce production costs. In recent years, with the trend of miniaturization and complexity of electronic products, higher requirements have been put forward for the functions and performance of vibration plates, especially the demand for multi-posture adjustment has become increasingly prominent.

[0003] The related technology discloses a feeding device, including a feeding rack, a vibrating plate, a silo, a guide rail, a vibrator, a first sensor, a second sensor and a blowing plate; the vibrating plate is arranged on the feeding rack, and the vibrating plate includes a vibrating plate body, a placement bin and a transmission track; the placement bin is arranged on the vibrating plate body, the transmission track is arranged in the placement bin, and the transmission track is arranged in a spiral shape; the discharge port of the silo is aligned with the vibrating plate; the guide rail is connected to the vibrating plate, and the vibrator is connected to the guide rail; the first sensor is arranged on one end of the guide rail close to the vibrating plate, and the second sensor is arranged on one end of the guide rail away from the vibrating plate; the blowing plate is arranged above the guide rail, and the blowing port of the blowing plate faces the discharge end of the guide rail.

[0004] The feeding device in the related art usually includes a feeding rack, a vibration plate, a silo, a guide rail and other components, and realizes the feeding of components through vibration and guide rail guidance. However, these devices have limitations in adjusting the posture of parts, such as being unable to accurately flip parts from a vertical state to a flat state, or being unable to achieve smooth conversion between different postures, which reduces the overall working efficiency of the equipment. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the limitations of existing feeding devices in part posture adjustment, improve the accuracy and stability of part feeding, and ensure the smooth progress of subsequent processing, the present application provides a multi-posture adjustment vibration plate.

[0006] The multi-posture adjustment vibration plate provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A multi-posture adjustment vibration plate, comprising a top plate, a material holding cavity for holding parts is formed on the top plate, a spiral feeding channel is arranged on the inner side wall of the top plate, and a limited position turning device, a first step turning device, a second step turning device, a trough conveying device, a vertical turning device, a horizontal and vertical screening device and a spiral turning feeding trough are arranged in sequence along the feeding direction; the limited position turning device is used to turn the parts in the vertical state into a lying state, the first step turning device is used to turn the parts in the lying state into a horizontal state and convey them to the second step turning device, the second step turning device is used to convey the parts to the trough conveying device, the trough conveying device is used to convey the parts to the vertical turning device, the vertical turning device is used to turn the parts in the vertical state into a horizontal state, the horizontal and vertical screening device is used to screen and adjust the parts to the required vertical state, and the spiral turning feeding trough is used to adjust the sensor in the vertical state to a lying state.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, the precise adjustment and transmission of parts in multiple postures are realized. Specifically: the limit flipping device effectively flips the parts in the vertical state to the lying state, ensuring that the parts always maintain the correct initial posture during the subsequent transmission process. The first step flipping device gradually reduces the width of the trough bottom, so that the parts in the lying state flip to the horizontal state under the action of their own weight, thereby improving the posture conversion accuracy of the parts. The second step flipping device further optimizes the transmission path of the parts, and transmits the parts in the horizontal state to the trough conveying device, ensuring the continuity and stability of the transmission. The trough conveying device gradually adjusts the parts from the inclined state to the horizontal state through the combination of the first inclined feeding trough and the vertical feeding trough, enhancing the smooth conversion ability of the parts between different postures. The vertical flipping device realizes the flipping of the parts in the vertical state to the horizontal state through the bearing block structure of different heights, ensuring the consistency of the posture of the parts at each station. The horizontal and vertical screening devices screen and adjust the different postures of the parts to ensure that only the parts that meet the requirements can enter the next process, thereby improving the quality control level of the production process. The spiral flip feed chute uses a spiral torsion groove to adjust the parts in a vertical state to a flat state, ensuring that the parts reach the required state before final discharge, thereby improving the overall working efficiency of the equipment.

[0008] Optionally, a first posture guide groove is further provided at the starting position of the feeding channel, the depth and width of the first posture guide groove gradually decrease along the feeding direction, and is used to preliminarily guide the posture of the part, and the maximum width of the first posture guide groove is smaller than the width of the part.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, since the maximum width of the first posture guide groove is smaller than the width of the part, when the part located at the starting position is in a lying state and is conveyed forward, the first posture guide groove will not affect the normal conveying of the part in the lying state; when the part located at the starting position is in a horizontal or vertical state and is conveyed forward, its posture can be gradually guided when the part initially enters the feeding channel, making it more stable during the conveying process, and at the same time, the posture of the part is adjusted to a posture that is more conducive to subsequent flipping and conveying, reducing the jamming or falling off caused by unstable posture, and improving the overall conveying efficiency and reliability.

[0010] Optionally, the first stepped flipping device includes a first top feed trough and a first bottom feed trough in a stepped shape, and the width of the bottom of the first top feed trough gradually decreases along the conveying direction; the first top feed trough is used to convey the sensor in a lying state, and the first bottom feed trough is used to convey the sensor in a horizontal state.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom width of the first top feed trough gradually decreases along the conveying direction, so that the center of gravity of the parts is gradually adjusted during the conveying process. When the center of gravity moves above the first bottom feed trough, with the help of gravity, the parts naturally flip 90° from a lying state to a horizontal state, ensuring the posture stability and consistency of the parts in the subsequent transmission process.

[0012] Optionally, the second stepped turning device includes a second top feed trough and a second bottom feed trough in a stepped shape, wherein the second top feed trough is used to convey parts in a horizontal state, and the second bottom feed trough is used to convey parts in a lying state.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the second stepped turning device can simultaneously convey parts in a lying state or a horizontal state, and smoothly convey them to the subsequent feeding device. Specifically, the second top feeding trough is used to convey parts in a horizontal state, and the second bottom feeding trough is used to convey parts in a lying state.

[0014] Optionally, a first detection air blowing device is also provided on the top plate, and the first detection air blowing device includes a detection mechanism and a blowing mechanism, the detection mechanism is used to detect the orientation of the parts, and the blowing mechanism is used to blow parts with incorrect orientation from the second top feeding trough to the second bottom feeding trough.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first detection blowing device can detect the orientation of the parts in real time during the part transmission process, and blow the incorrectly oriented parts from the second top feeding trough to the second bottom feeding trough through the blowing mechanism, thereby ensuring that the parts always maintain the correct posture when entering the subsequent processing link. This not only improves the transmission accuracy of the parts, but also effectively reduces the product defect rate caused by posture errors, and improves production efficiency and product quality.

[0016] Optionally, a mounting block is provided on the top plate, and the detection mechanism and the blowing mechanism are both arranged on the mounting block; a lifting avoidance groove extending vertically is provided on the mounting block, and the detection mechanism passes through the lifting avoidance groove to facilitate the detection of parts in the top plate, and the height of the detection mechanism can be adjusted in the vertical direction.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertically extending lifting and disengaging grooves on the mounting block allow the height of the detection mechanism to be flexibly adjusted in the vertical direction. This enables the detection mechanism to adapt to parts of different sizes or types as needed, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the detection. At the same time, the detection mechanism directly detects the parts in the top plate through the lifting and disengaging grooves, which improves the directness and efficiency of the detection. The blowing mechanism is also arranged on the mounting block, which is convenient for working in coordination with the detection mechanism to jointly realize the precise control and adjustment of the orientation of the parts. This not only enhances the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment, but also further improves the accuracy and efficiency of part transmission and processing.

[0018] Optionally, the trough conveying device includes a first inclined feed trough and a vertical feed trough which are interconnected, the first inclined feed trough being opened on the surface of the feeding channel, the first inclined feed trough being inclined, and being used to gradually adjust the parts from a lying state or a horizontal state to an inclined state; the vertical feed trough is opened in the first inclined feed trough, and is used to adjust the parts from an inclined state to a horizontal state.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the first inclined feed trough and the vertical feed trough in the trough conveying device are combined to gradually adjust the posture of the parts during the conveying process. Specifically, the first inclined feed trough allows the parts to gradually change from a lying state or a horizontal state to an inclined state. This step effectively reduces the unstable factors of the parts during the conveying process and improves the smoothness of the conveying. Next, the vertical feed trough further adjusts the parts from the inclined state to the horizontal state, ensuring that the posture and position of the parts meet the established standards when entering the subsequent processing or assembly links, thereby improving the overall production efficiency and product quality.

[0020] Optionally, the vertical flipping device includes a guide seat, on which a high-position bearing platform and a low-position bearing platform are fixedly provided in a stepped shape, and the height of the upper surface of the high-position bearing platform is greater than the height of the upper surface of the low-position bearing platform.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the parts can make full use of the stepped structure on the guide seat during the vertical flipping process to achieve precise posture conversion. In particular, when the parts slide from the high-position load platform to the low-position load platform, due to the height difference, the parts will naturally flip 90 degrees, thereby adjusting them from the vertical state to the horizontal state. Not only does it improve the reliability of part flipping, it also reduces the dependence on external power, simplifies the equipment structure, and reduces energy consumption. At the same time, the inner wall of the guide seat can effectively prevent the parts from shaking or tilting during the flipping process, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the parts during the entire transmission process.

[0022] Optionally, a second detection air blowing device is also provided on the top plate, and the second detection air blowing device is arranged at a certain position of the feeding channel, for detecting the posture of parts passing through this position, and according to the detection results, the parts with incorrect posture are blown to the correct feeding path or the posture is readjusted through the air blowing mechanism, to ensure that all parts can maintain the correct posture during the feeding process.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the second detection blowing device can detect the posture of the parts during the feeding process in real time to ensure that each part can maintain the correct posture. Specifically, when the part passes the position of the second detection blowing device, the detection mechanism will detect the orientation of the part. If the orientation of the part is found to be incorrect, the blowing mechanism will start immediately and blow the part from the current path to the correct feeding path or readjust the posture through airflow. This can avoid jamming or damage caused by posture errors and improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0024] Optionally, a posture adjustment and retransmission section is provided on the feeding channel, and the posture adjustment and retransmission section is located between the limit flipping device and the first step flipping device. A second posture guide groove is opened on the surface of the posture adjustment and retransmission section for guiding the posture of the part.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability and continuity of the parts during the flipping process are significantly improved. After the parts are initially flipped through the limit flipping device, they may not be able to directly enter the subsequent processing flow due to poor posture. At this time, the posture adjustment and retransmission section plays a key role. The posture adjustment and retransmission section is located between the limit flipping device and the first step flipping device, providing a buffer area for posture adjustment for the parts. The second posture guide groove opened on its surface can further guide the parts to gradually adjust to the optimal posture during the transmission process. In this way, even if the posture of the parts is not good after the initial flipping, it can be effectively corrected in the posture adjustment and retransmission section, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent processing and avoiding problems such as falling or deviation from the predetermined path due to unstable posture or external force interference.

[0026] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Through the limit turning device, the first step turning device and the second step turning device, the parts can be effectively turned from the vertical state to the flat state, and then gradually adjusted from the flat state to the required horizontal state and vertical state, ensuring the stability and consistency of the posture of the parts during the entire transmission process, avoiding transmission failure or damage caused by improper posture adjustment; 2. The introduction of the first detection blowing device and the second detection blowing device can detect the orientation of the parts in real time during the transmission process, and correct the parts with incorrect postures in time through the blowing mechanism, ensuring that all parts maintain the correct posture before entering the subsequent processing link, thereby improving the reliability and yield of production; 3. The trough conveying device and the vertical turning device are designed. Through the reasonable layout of the first inclined feeding trough and the vertical feeding trough, and the configuration of high-position load-bearing platforms and low-position load-bearing platforms at different heights on the guide seat, a smooth transition of the parts from a lying state to an inclined state and then to a horizontal state is achieved, which improves the stability and continuity of the transmission and reduces the risk of jamming and blockage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0032] The terms used in this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should be the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in this application do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components.

[0033] In this embodiment, since the part is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, for ease of understanding, taking a rectangular parallelepiped inductor as an example, the three sides of the part are defined as length, width and height respectively; the length of the length> the length of the width> the length of the height, and the three different placement states of the part are defined as a lying state, a horizontal state and a vertical state respectively, wherein: Lying state: In this state, the length and width directions of the part are both on the horizontal plane, while the height direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. In short, the part is in a lying state, and its bottom surface remains parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0034] Horizontal state (length direction along the horizontal direction): In this state, the length direction of the part (i.e. the long side of the cuboid) remains in the horizontal direction, while the width direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Therefore, the part presents a "horizontal standing" posture, and its length direction does not become vertical as it stands.

[0035] Vertical state (length direction along the vertical direction): In this state, the length direction of the part has become vertical, that is, perpendicular to the ground. The width direction remains parallel to the horizontal plane. Therefore, the part presents a "vertical standing" posture.

[0036] The present application embodiment discloses a multi-posture adjustment vibration plate. Figure 1 The multi-posture adjustment vibration plate includes a top plate 1, a material holding cavity 101 for holding parts is provided on the top plate 1, and a spiral feeding channel 102 is provided on the inner wall of the top plate 1. The feeding channel 102 is provided with a first posture guide groove 2, a limit turning device 3, a first step turning device 4, a second step turning device 5, a first detection blowing device 6, a trough conveying device 7, a vertical turning device 8, a third step turning device 9, a second detection blowing device 10, a horizontal and vertical screening device 11, a spiral turning feeding trough 12 and a discharge limit device 13 in sequence along the feeding direction.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , the depth of the first posture guide groove 2 gradually decreases along the conveying direction of the feeding channel 102, and the width also gradually decreases along the feeding direction of the feeding channel 102. When the part is in a flat state, that is, the length direction and width direction of the part are both on the horizontal plane, and the height direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the part can be smoothly conveyed forward on the surface of the feeding channel 102, and the existence of the first posture guide groove 2 will not have a significant impact on the conveying of the part. However, when the part is in a horizontal state or a vertical state, that is, the height direction of the part is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, but the length direction or the width direction has a different relationship with the horizontal plane, the first posture guide groove 2 plays a key role. In these two vertical states, the part will be conveyed forward in the first posture guide groove 2. Since the depth and width of the groove gradually decrease along the feeding direction, it helps the part to gradually adjust its posture during the conveying process, so that it can move more stably along the feeding channel 102, and prepare for subsequent direction adjustment and flipping operations.

[0038] Continue to refer to Figure 1The limit flip device 3 includes two limit flip members 31, and the two limit flip members 31 are fixed to the inner wall of the top plate 1. The distance between each limit flip member 31 and the surface of the feeding channel 102 is defined as the limit flip spacing. When the parts are in a lying state, the height of the parts is lower than the limit flip spacing, so they can easily continue to be transported downward through the spacing. However, for parts in a horizontal or vertical state, since their height exceeds the limit flip spacing, when they contact the limit flip member 31 during the transmission process, they will be blocked and flipped. Under the guidance of the limit flip member 31, these parts in the vertical state will be flipped 90°, thereby turning into a lying state. Subsequently, these parts that have been flipped to a lying state can continue to be smoothly transported downward from the limit flip spacing.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In addition, the device is highly adjustable. Two first adjustment slots 103 are correspondingly provided on the inner side wall of the top plate 1 in the vertical direction. The top ends of the first adjustment slots 103 are open, which is convenient for installation and adjustment. One end of the limit flip member 31 can be inserted into the first adjustment slot 103 and fixed by a fixing member such as a bolt, a screw or a fixing pin. The limit flip member 31 can be flexibly adjusted in the vertical direction to meet the transmission requirements of parts with different thicknesses.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The first stepped turning device 4 is used to turn the parts in a lying state into a horizontal state. Specifically, the first stepped turning device 4 includes a first top feeding trough 41 and a first bottom feeding trough 42 in a stepped shape. The width of the bottom of the first top feeding trough 41 gradually decreases along the conveying direction. The parts in a lying state will be conveyed to the first top feeding trough 41 after passing through the limit turning device 3. As the parts are conveyed in the first top feeding trough 41, the center of gravity of the parts will gradually shift toward the direction close to the first bottom feeding trough 42 due to the gradual decrease in the width of the bottom of the trough.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 1 When the center of gravity of the part moves to the top of the first bottom feeding trough 42, the part will naturally rotate 90 degrees by its own gravity, changing from a flat state to a horizontal state, and fall into the first bottom feeding trough 42 to continue to be transported forward. The bottom of the first bottom feeding trough 42 is inclined, which ensures that the part can be stably transported to the subsequent blowing and turning correction device in the first bottom feeding trough 42, and will not fall to the bottom of the material holding chamber 101 due to shaking or tilting.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 1The second stepped turning device 5 includes a stepped second top feeding trough 51 and a second bottom feeding trough 52, wherein the second top feeding trough 51 is used to convey parts in a horizontal state, and the second bottom feeding trough 52 is used to convey parts in a lying state.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first detection blowing device 6 is installed on the top plate 1, and the first detection blowing device 6 includes a detection mechanism 61 and a blowing mechanism 62. In order to realize these functions, a first mounting groove 104 is provided on the top plate 1, and a mounting block 63 is fixed inside the first mounting groove 104. The detection mechanism 61 and the blowing mechanism 62 are both arranged on this mounting block 63. A lifting avoidance groove 64 extending vertically is provided on the mounting block 63, and the detection mechanism 61 passes through the lifting avoidance groove 64 to facilitate the detection of parts in the top plate 1, and the detection mechanism 61 also has a second adjustment groove 65 extending vertically, and a bolt is passed through the second adjustment groove 65, and the bolt is tightly matched with the mounting block 63 through a thread, so that the height of the detection mechanism 61 can be adjusted as needed.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the part is in a horizontal state and moves forward in the second top feeding trough 51, it will first pass through the detection mechanism 61 to determine whether the orientation of the part is correct. If the orientation of the part meets the preset requirements, the blowing mechanism 62 will remain silent, and the part will continue to move forward along the second top feeding trough 51 and finally reach the trough conveyor 7.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 However, if the detection mechanism 61 finds that the orientation of the part is wrong (i.e. the side of the part with the metal part faces the detection mechanism 61), the blowing mechanism 62 will start quickly. It will use the power of the airflow to blow the part from the second top feeding trough 51 to the second bottom feeding trough 52, and at the same time flip the part 90° in the process. The flipped part will continue to move forward in the second bottom feeding trough 52 until it reaches the trough conveyor 7. It is ensured that when the parts enter the trough conveyor 7, their faces facing the center of the material chamber 101 are the same, thereby meeting the requirements of subsequent processing or assembly.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 The trough conveying device 7 includes a first inclined feeding trough 71 and a vertical feeding trough 72 which are connected to each other. The first inclined feeding trough 71 is opened on the surface of the feeding channel 102. The first inclined feeding trough 71 is inclined and the inner side wall is in an arc shape. It is worth noting that the second top feeding trough 51 and the second bottom feeding trough 52 are both used to convey the parts that have passed the inspection to the first inclined feeding trough 71.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The vertical feeding trough 72 is opened in the first inclined feeding trough 71, and the bottom of the vertical feeding trough 72 is also inclined to ensure the stability and continuity of the parts during the transmission process. After the parts have completed the detection process of the first detection blowing device 6, they will be fed into the first inclined feeding trough 71 one by one from the spiral feeding channel 102. In this process, the state of the parts will gradually change from the initial horizontal to the inclined to meet the subsequent processing requirements.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 3 As the parts continue to be transported in the first inclined feeding trough 71, they will eventually enter the vertical feeding trough 72. At this stage, the state of the parts will change again, from the inclined state to the horizontal state. This continuous posture adjustment process ensures that the posture and position of the parts meet the established standards and requirements when entering the subsequent processing or assembly links, thereby greatly improving the overall production efficiency and product quality.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The vertical flip device 8 includes a guide seat 81, and a second mounting groove 106 is opened at a corresponding position of the top plate 1, and the guide seat 81 is fixed in the second mounting groove 106. The inner side wall of the guide seat 81 is integrally formed with a high-position bearing platform 82 and a low-position bearing platform 83 distributed in a stepped manner, and the height of the upper surface of the high-position bearing platform 82 is greater than the height of the upper surface of the low-position bearing platform 83. When the part in a horizontal state is conveyed on the high-position bearing platform 82, its length direction extends in the horizontal direction. As the part smoothly slides from the high-position upper surface of the high-position bearing platform 82 to the low-position surface of the low-position bearing platform 83, the part continues to maintain its length direction in the horizontal direction, but has completed a smooth transition from one height to another.

[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 3 However, when the part in the vertical state is transferred to the high-position loading platform 82, the situation is different. Due to the significant height difference between the high-position loading platform 82 and the low-position loading platform 83, the part will be induced by gravity to rotate during the process of sliding from the high-position surface of the high-position loading platform 82 to the low-position surface of the low-position loading platform 83. Specifically, the part will rotate 90° around its axis, thereby flipping from the vertical state to the horizontal state.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 3 It is worth noting that during the entire conveying process, no matter whether the part is located on the top of the high-position loading platform 82 or the low-position loading platform 83, its side wall will be tightly abutted against the inner side wall of the guide seat 81. This not only ensures the stability of the part during the conveying process, but also prevents it from shaking or tilting during the flipping process.

[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The third stepped turning device 9 includes a third top feeding trough 91 and a third bottom feeding trough 92 in a stepped shape, which provide necessary space for the turning of the parts through the height difference. The second detection blowing device 10 has the same structure and function as the first detection blowing device 6, and both have the ability to detect the orientation of the parts and start the blowing mechanism 62 according to the orientation. When the parts are conveyed forward in the third top feeding trough 91, the second detection blowing device 10 will first identify its orientation. If the orientation of the parts is correct, the second detection blowing device 10 will not be started, and the parts will continue to be conveyed forward in the third top feeding trough 91 until they reach the horizontal vertical screening device 11.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 3 However, if the second detection blowing device 10 detects that the orientation of the part is incorrect (i.e., the side of the part with the metal component faces the second detection blowing device 10), the blowing mechanism 62 will be immediately activated. The second detection blowing device 10 blows the part from the third top feeding trough 91 to the third bottom feeding trough 92 through precise air flow control, and turns the part over during the blowing process, thereby correcting its orientation.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 3 It is worth noting that in order to ensure that the parts can continue to be conveyed stably after flipping, a posture adjustment and retransmission section 14 is provided on the feeding channel 102. The posture adjustment and retransmission section 14 is located between the limit flipping device 3 and the first step flipping device 4. A second posture guide groove 141 is provided on the surface of the posture adjustment and retransmission section 14. The second posture guide groove 141 is not only completely the same as the first posture guide groove 2 in shape and function, but can also guide the parts to gradually adjust their posture during the transmission process, and also ensures that the parts can be smoothly transferred from the third bottom feeding trough 92 to the posture adjustment and retransmission section 14 after flipping, and then enter the subsequent processing flow.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The horizontal vertical screening device 11 is mainly composed of a second inclined feeding trough 111 opened on the inner side wall of the top plate 1 and a feeding boss 112 arranged on the inner side wall of the top plate 1. The feeding boss 112 is mainly used to carry and convey parts. In particular, the height of the second inclined feeding trough 111 is less than the length of the part but greater than the width of the part, which is helpful for screening the parts.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 3When the part is in a horizontal state (i.e., the length direction of the part extends in the horizontal direction, and the width direction extends in the vertical direction), the part will be conveyed forward in an inclined state in the second inclined feeding trough 111. At this time, the contact area between the part and the feeding boss 112 is small, and the part only contacts the feeding boss 112 by the edge, so the conveying stability is poor, and the part is easy to fall from the feeding boss 112 to the next layer of the feeding channel 102, and then return to the posture adjustment retransmission section 14 for reprocessing.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , and when the part is in a vertical state (i.e., the length direction of the part extends in the vertical direction, and the width direction extends in the horizontal direction), the part can be stably placed on the feeding boss 112, and its bottom surface has a large contact area with the surface of the feeding boss 112, thereby ensuring stability during the transmission process. Therefore, in this state, the part will not fall to the third bottom feeding trough 92 under the action of its own gravity, but can continue to be transmitted to the spiral flip feeding trough 12 for subsequent processing.

[0058] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The spiral flip feed trough 12 is opened on the inner wall of the top plate 1. The spiral flip feed trough 12 is spiral-shaped. The spiral flip feed trough 12 is provided with a feeding end and a discharging end. When the parts in the vertical state pass through the feeding end and enter the feeding end of the torsion trough, they are transmitted and twisted by the spiral flip feed trough 12, and are transmitted from the discharging end of the spiral flip feed trough 12 to the discharging limit device 13.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The discharge limiting device 13 is arranged at the discharge end of the feeding channel 102. The discharge limiting device 13 includes a first limiting block 131 and a second limiting block 132. The first limiting block 131 is fixed on the top plate 1. The upper surface of the first limiting block 131 is provided with a discharge groove 133. The width of the discharge groove 133 is sufficient to accommodate the length of the part. The second limiting block 132 is fixed in an appropriate position by bolts, and together with the first limiting block 131, it constitutes a discharge channel for the part. The distance between the lower surface of the second limiting block 132 and the bottom of the discharge groove 133 is greater than the height of the part, ensuring that the part can be smoothly transferred to the next process according to the processing requirements (transferred in a flat state, with the metal parts facing downward).

[0060] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3At the same time, an arc-shaped receiving trough 105 is provided at the discharge end of the top plate 1. The receiving trough 105 is provided at the discharge end of the top plate 1 and is interconnected with the discharge end of the spiral flip feed trough 12. The receiving trough 105 is arc-shaped, which is intended to reduce the impact force when the parts are discharged from the torsion groove and provide a smooth transition area. A guide groove 107 is also provided in the receiving trough 105. The end of the guide groove 107 close to the spiral flip feed trough 12 is closed to prevent the parts from falling when they do not fully enter the receiving trough 105. The end close to the discharge trough 133 is open and interconnected with the discharge trough 133. The width and depth are the same as those of the discharge trough 133 to ensure that the parts can enter the discharge trough 133 smoothly and accurately.

[0061] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: first, the parts fall from the silo into the vibrating plate, and are initially arranged and transported through the vibrating plate body and the spiral transmission track in the placement bin. During the transport process, the first posture guide groove 2 enables the parts to gradually adjust their posture during transport, so as to prepare for subsequent operations.

[0062] When a part enters the position-limiting flipping device 3, the position-limiting flipping member 31 will block or flip it according to its current posture (horizontal, first vertical or vertical state). For parts in a flat state, they can easily continue to be transported through the position-limiting flipping spacing; for parts in a vertical state, they will flip when they contact the position-limiting flipping member 31, and then continue to be transported after turning into a flat state.

[0063] Next, the parts enter the first stepped turning device 4, and through the stepped feeding trough, the parts in the lying state will naturally turn to the horizontal state under the action of gravity, and fall into the first bottom feeding trough 42 for further transmission. The second stepped turning device 5 is used to convey the parts in the horizontal state, and correct the direction through the blowing mechanism 62 when necessary.

[0064] In the first detection blowing device 6, the detection mechanism 61 detects the orientation of the part. If the orientation is incorrect, the blowing mechanism 62 is activated to blow the part to the second bottom feeding trough 52 for flipping correction. Subsequently, the part enters the trough conveying device 7, and through the continuous conveyance of the first inclined feeding trough 71 and the vertical feeding trough 72, the posture of the part is adjusted to a horizontal state again.

[0065] In the vertical flipping device 8, the part is transferred and flipped between the high-position loading platform 82 and the low-position loading platform 83 of the guide seat 81 according to its current posture (first vertical or vertical state). Then, the second detection blowing device 10 will re-detect the orientation of the part and make necessary flip corrections.

[0066] After the above series of posture adjustments, the parts enter the horizontal vertical screening device 11. Here, the second inclined feeding trough 111 and the feeding boss 112 enable the parts to be screened and stably conveyed according to their posture. Finally, the parts that meet the requirements will enter the spiral flip feeding trough 12, and through the conveying and twisting action of the twisting trough, they will be conveyed from the discharge end to the discharge limit device 13.

[0067] In the discharge limiting device 13, the first limiting block 131 and the second limiting block 132 together constitute the discharge channel of the parts, ensuring that the parts can be smoothly transferred to the next process according to the processing requirements. At the same time, the arc-shaped receiving groove 105 reduces the impact force when the parts are discharged from the torsion groove and provides a smooth transition area.

[0068] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
