DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0018] See also Figure 1-3 In view of the special shape of the card block 1 itself, when the card block 1 has no additional structure to support it, it may be in a lying state or a vertical state in the vibration feeding device 2 described below. The card block 1 is in the vertical lying state when it is in the same direction as the conveying direction ( Figure 2 a) When perpendicular to the flow direction, it is in horizontal lying state ( Figure 2 b), and the upright state is divided into the upright state ( Figure 3 a, 3b), side-standing state ( Figure 3c, 3d), the present invention requires that the card block 1 is transported to the processing mechanism 3 in a vertical lying state with the back side facing downward by the vibrating feeding device 2.

[0019] refer to Figure 4-10 As shown, the present invention discloses a semi-automatic sorting and punching and tapping device, which is used for processing a card block 1, wherein the card block 1 comprises a card block body 11, and wing plates 12 arranged on both sides of the card block body 11, and the back of the wing plates 12 are both provided with arc surfaces 13; the device comprises a vibrating feeding device 2 and a processing mechanism 3; The vibrating feeding device 2 includes a vibrating chassis 21 and a spiral track arranged on the vibrating chassis 21, the input end and the output end of the spiral track are respectively connected to the vibrating chassis 21 and the processing mechanism 3; the spiral track includes a first track 22, a second track 23, a third track 24, a fourth track 25 and an output track 26 which are connected in sequence; The input end of the first track 22 is connected to the vibration chassis 21, and a first lever 27 is provided above the first track 22. The first lever 27 is used to push the stacked card blocks 1 down to the vibration chassis 21 to achieve the first screening. The height of the second track 23 is lower than that of the first track 22, and a step 231 is provided on the inner side thereof (the side facing the center of the vibration chassis 21), and the step 231 is flush with the output end of the first track 22. The height difference between the step 231 and the second track 23 can be used to put the card block 1 in a partially vertical state down to a lying state; A second lever 28 and a third lever 29 are provided above the third track 24; the second lever 28 is used to level the card block 1 in a non-lying state (such as a vertical state, an inclined state, etc.), so that the card block 1 passing through the second lever 28 is in a lying state; the third lever 29 has a hook portion 291 acting on the end of the card block 1 to rotate the card block 1 in a horizontal lying state to a vertical lying state; The bottom width of the fourth track 25 is smaller than the bottom width of the third track 24, so that the card block 1 in the front-up state falls from the fourth track 25 and falls back to the vibration chassis 21 when passing by, so as to achieve the second screening; a baffle 210 is arranged above the fourth track 25, and the baffle 210 is used to push the card block 1 in the sideways state to fall to the vibration chassis 21, so as to achieve the third screening; After the first, second and third screenings, the card block 1 with the back side facing upward and lying vertically is transported to the processing mechanism 3 through the output track 26, and the processing mechanism 3 performs punching and tapping.

[0020] Through the above scheme, the present invention sequentially screens and intercepts the card blocks 1 output from the vibration chassis 21 through the first track 22, the second track 23, the third track 24 and the fourth track 25, and finally makes the card blocks 1 enter the output track 26 in a preset direction (back side facing up, vertical lying state), and is sent to the punching station of the processing mechanism 3 for punching and tapping, thereby realizing automation, saving the process of manually placing the card blocks 1, and greatly improving the production efficiency; wherein, through the structural design of the spiral track, the vibration feeding device 2 can quickly and in large quantities output the card blocks 1 that meet the processing requirements in a preset direction, forming a correct placement position, thereby meeting the needs of rapid processing, and achieving improved production efficiency and quality, and reduced error rate.

[0021] Specific embodiments of the present invention are shown below.

[0022] The first track 22 , the second track 23 , the third track 24 and the fourth track 25 are all arranged with their outer sides lower than their inner sides, so that the card block 1 can stick to the outer sides of the tracks while moving along the tracks.

[0023] The height difference between the first track 22 and the first lever 27 is greater than the thickness of the block 1 but less than twice the thickness of the block 1, such as 9-16 mm in the present embodiment. When it is less than 9 mm, the block 1 cannot pass through the first lever 27 in a lying state, and when it is greater than 16 mm, two blocks 1 may overlap and pass through the first lever 27.

[0024] The first lever 27 is an arc-shaped rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the side of the first track 22 and the other end is bent toward the center of the vibration chassis 21 to guide the card block 1 pushed off by the first lever 27 back into the vibration chassis 21 to complete the first screening. In some embodiments, the number of the first levers 27 is designed to be multiple, and the stacked card blocks 1 can be screened multiple times.

[0025] The height difference between the second lever 28 and the third track 24 is greater than the thickness of the block 1 but less than twice the thickness of the block 1, and is set to 9-16 mm in the present embodiment. This can prevent the block 1 in a vertical or inclined state from falling, while also ensuring that the block 1 in a lying state can pass smoothly.

[0026] The hook portion 291 is a curved hook inclined downward, and cooperates with Fig. 9 The third track 24 is inclined inwardly (as are the other tracks except the output track 26), and the combination of the two can realize the change of the card block 1 from lying horizontally to lying vertically.

[0027] A guide groove 220 is provided at the periphery of the vibration chassis 21 , and the guide groove 220 is connected to the center of the vibration chassis 21 ; the second track 23 , the third track 24 and the fourth track 25 are all provided above the guide groove 220 .

[0028] Furthermore, one end of the guide groove 220 close to the second track 23 is higher than one end close to the fourth track 25 , so as to guide the block 1 falling into the guide groove 220 along the conveying direction of the spiral track.

[0029] Secondly, a communication port 2201 communicating with the vibration chassis 21 is provided at the lower end of the guide groove 220 .

[0030] The width of the output track 26 matches the width of the card block 1 to ensure that the card block 1 in a vertical position moving along the output track 26 will not deflect. At the same time, a pressure rod 230 extending in the same direction as the output track 26 is provided above the output track 26 to reduce the shaking of the card block 1 during the conveying process.

[0031] A laser counter 240 is installed on the side of the output track 26 to count the number of output card blocks 1.

[0032] The above-mentioned processing mechanism 3 includes a workbench 31, a punching device 32, a tapping device 33 and a collection box 34; a guide track is arranged on the workbench 31, the input end of the guide track is connected to the output track 26, and the output end thereof is connected to the collection box 34; the punching device 32 and the tapping device 33 respectively punch and tap the card blocks on the guide track.

[0033] Further, see Fig.10 The guide track includes an input track 311 connected to the output track 26, a punching track 312 vertically connected to the input track 311, and a tapping track 313 vertically connected to the punching track 312, and the tapping track 313 is connected to the collection box 34; the punching device 32 and the tapping device 33 are respectively arranged above the punching track 312 and the tapping track 313; a first push rod 35 is arranged at the connection between the input track 311 and the punching track 312, which is used to push the card block 1 to move along the punching track 312; a pair of second push rods 36 are arranged on both sides of the punching track 312, which are used to clamp the card block 1 for punching; a pair of third push rods 37 are arranged at both ends of the tapping track 313, which are used to clamp the card block 1 for tapping. In this embodiment, the workbench 31 is provided with a connecting port 314 at the bottom of the tapping track 313, and the connecting port 314 is connected to the collection box 34 through an arc slide 38. After the tapping is completed, the third push rod 37 can be used to push the block 1 to the connecting port 314 to slide into the collection box 34, thereby realizing automatic collection after processing.

[0034] Secondly, a coolant pipe 39 is provided on the side of the tapping track 313, and the coolant pipe 39 is connected to a coolant supply device to cool the block 1 during tapping.

[0035] refer to Fig.11 As shown, the working principle of the present invention is: (1) Placing a large number of card blocks on the vibrating chassis 21 manually or mechanically; (2) The vibrating chassis 21 starts to work, and the block 1 moves upward along the spiral track; (3) The card block 1 enters the first track 22 and is screened for the first time by the first lever 27 (mainly blocking the card blocks 1 that are partially stacked together, and stopping the card blocks 1 located above from reentering the vibration chassis 21); (3) The remaining card blocks 1 enter the second track 23, and the card blocks 1 in the partial upright state are laid down by utilizing the height difference between the step 231 and the second track 23; (5) The card block 1 enters the third track 24, and the second lever 28 shifts the remaining portion of the card block 1 in the upright state to a flat state, and then the third lever 29 shifts the card block 1 in the upright state to a horizontal state; (6) The card block 1 enters the fourth track 25 and undergoes a second screening. The card block 1 facing upward will not be able to pass through the fourth track 25 and will re-enter the vibration chassis 21. When the card block 1 moves along the fourth track 25, it will also undergo a third screening through the baffle 210, and some of the card blocks 1 that pass through the third track 25 in a sideways state will fall onto the vibration chassis 21. Among them, the card blocks 1 that have been screened for the second and third times can all return to the vibration chassis 21 through the guide groove 220. (7) All the card blocks 1 with their backs facing upward and lying horizontally enter the output track 26 uniformly, and are transported to the processing mechanism 3 after passing through the laser counter 240 technology, and are punched and tapped in sequence, and finally collected in the collection box 34.
