[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Depend on Figures 1 to 7As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a double-station material distribution mechanism for thin-walled circular gaskets, including a conveying component 1 and a material distribution component 2, wherein the material distribution component 2 includes a material receiving block 3, a material distribution block 4 and a driving unit, and a material receiving trough 7 is provided between the two sides of the material receiving block 3, and the width of the material receiving trough 7 is suitable for a single circular gasket 9 to pass through. Among them, the conveying component 1 is used to convey the circular gasket 9 to the material receiving trough 7 from the x-axis direction; two material receiving cavities 8 are provided at intervals on one side of the material distribution block 4, and an opening is provided at the upper end of the material receiving cavity 8, and the material receiving cavity 8 can only be suitable for receiving a single circular gasket 9 at a time; the driving unit is used to drive the material distribution block 4 to reciprocate in the y-axis direction, so that the two material receiving cavities 8 can be connected to the discharge end of the material receiving trough 7 respectively. Among them, the conveying component 1 includes a vibration table 10 and a conveying track 11, and the conveying track 11 is installed at the upper end of the vibration table 10. The conveying track 11 is linear, forming a direct vibration conveying, and the output end of the conveying track 11 matches the feed end of the material receiving trough 7. The circular gasket 9 is transported to the receiving trough 7 in sequence through the conveying component 1. When the dividing block 4 reciprocates in the direction of the vertical conveying track 11, the two receiving cavities 8 can be matched and docked with the discharge ends of the receiving trough 7 respectively, so that the conveying component 1 continues to convey until the circular gasket 9 moves into the receiving cavity 8 and is transferred to both sides of the x-axis direction, so as to divide the material.

[0027] The output end of the conveying track 11 is horizontally higher than the level of the receiving trough 7. Although the present embodiment is direct vibration conveying, the vibration table 10 sometimes has a slight amplitude up and down due to various factors. At this time, if the output end of the conveying track 11 is lower than the receiving trough 7, it will cause the round gasket 9 to be cut or fall off the gap between the two, affecting the horizontal conveying. By making the horizontal height of the conveying track 11 slightly higher than the height of the receiving trough 7, it is ensured that the round gasket 9 can be stably conveyed in.

[0028] Preferably, the side of the material dividing block 4 close to the material receiving cavity 8 is slidably connected with the material receiving block 3. In this way, when the material receiving cavity 8 and the material receiving groove 7 are docked, they can be better matched, and the round gasket 9 is convenient to enter the material receiving cavity 8.

[0029] Preferably, a detection sensor 12 is further included, and the detection sensor 12 is located above the outlet end of the material receiving trough 7, so that when the material receiving cavity 8 is connected to the material receiving trough 7, the detection sensor 12 can detect whether the round gasket 9 is installed in the material receiving cavity 8.

[0030] Among them, as a preferred embodiment, a plurality of suction ports 13 are provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity 8; a connection hole 14 connected to the suction port 13 is provided on one side of the material dividing block 4, and the connection hole 14 is used to connect a vacuum suction pipe 15. The vacuum suction pipe 15 is externally connected to a vacuum device, so that the suction port 13 generates suction, so that when the product round gasket 9 is transferred to the receiving cavity 8, it can be sucked by the suction port 13 first, so that it is close to the bottom end, maintains a horizontal and stable state, facilitates subsequent movement and transfer, and avoids falling out of the wrong position.

[0031] Preferably, the driving unit includes a first slide cylinder 5 and a second slide cylinder 6, the second slide cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the slide of the first slide cylinder 5; the material dividing block 4 is fixedly connected to the slide of the second slide cylinder 6, and the second slide is arranged on the workbench 16. As a preferred embodiment, when working, firstly, the second slide cylinder 6 controls the movement of the material dividing block 4, so that one of the receiving chambers 8 docks with the receiving groove 7 to receive the round gasket 9, and after the to-be-detected sensor 12 detects that there is a round gasket 9 in the receiving chamber 8, the suction port 13 vacuum absorbs the round gasket 9 to stabilize it. Further, the secondary material receiving is carried out, and the first slide cylinder 5 controls the first slide cylinder 5 to drive the dividing block 4 to move, so that the other material receiving chamber 8 is docked with the material receiving trough 7 to receive the circular gasket 9, and the detection sensor 12 detects and adsorbs the circular gasket 9. Then the second slide cylinder 6 controls the movement of the dividing block 4 again, so that the side wall end of the dividing block 4 between the two material receiving chambers 8 blocks the discharge end of the material receiving trough 7, blocking the circular gasket 9 from continuing to move, thereby realizing the next step of taking the circular gasket 9 from the docking chamber 8. Of course, there are other combinations of movement, which will not be elaborated here.

[0032] Preferably, in this embodiment, four suction ports 13 are provided in each receiving cavity 8, which can provide more adsorption points to ensure stable adsorption of the circular gasket 9.

[0033] Further, the inner side end of the receiving cavity 8 is arranged in an arc shape. By arranging the side wall of the inner side end of the receiving cavity 8 into an arc shape, it can be better adapted to allow a single round gasket 9 to enter.

[0034] Since the circular gasket 9 is a thinner annular structure with an opening in the middle, in order for the suction port 13 to better adsorb it, the suction port 13 is arranged from the feed end of the receiving cavity 8 inward, and the intervals between the suction ports 13 in the y-axis direction are gradually increased, so as to better match the annular structure.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
