[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. By setting up the lock magazine assembly, iron sheets can be stamped into locks without relying on the storage of finished locks. The pusher cylinder drives the stamping bottom die to push the iron sheet into the lock magazine frame. The stamping forming cylinder drives the stamping upper die downward through the force rod and connecting rod to stamp the iron sheet into a lock. The lock peeling cylinder and the lock pushing cylinder work together to send the formed lock into the transport assembly. This on-site lock production method can produce locks as needed, ensuring a stable supply of locks. It solves the problem of small storage capacity of finished locks in traditional conveying devices, which requires frequent manual replenishment. At the same time, using iron sheets as raw materials for stamping and production reduces raw material costs compared to purchasing finished locks, thus improving economic efficiency.
[0018] 2. Through the arrangement of the transport components, when the latch is pushed onto the directional conveyor ring by the latch pusher plate, half of it rests on the circular platform and the other half on the directional conveyor ring. This allows the latch to change from a horizontal to a vertical orientation under the drive of the directional conveyor ring and the action of centrifugal force. One side of the latch moves along the transport side plate, adjusting its direction and preparing it for subsequent transport to the snap-fit position. During transport on the directional conveyor ring, a visual recognition module detects defects in the latches. When a defect-free latch is detected and transported to the guide rod, the other side of the latch moves along the guide rod onto the transport structure, thus being transported to the snap-fit position. This ensures the accuracy of the latch transport path, reduces installation errors caused by transport deviations, and improves the reliability of the entire production process.
[0019] 3. By setting up the sorting component, defects in the buckles can be detected. When a defect is detected, the sorting component will promptly recycle it, preventing defective buckles from entering subsequent stages. When the vision recognition module detects a defect in a buckle transported on the directional conveyor ring, the photoelectric sensor will sense the buckle's position. When the buckle reaches the bottom of the photoelectric sensor and is detected, the recycling cylinder will immediately start, pushing the push plate to push the buckle onto the falling partition. Subsequently, the falling motor will drive the falling partition to open the recycling compartment, and the buckle will fall through the recycling compartment into the recycling transport channel and be transported to the buckle recycling equipment. Through this screening and recycling mechanism, defective buckles can be separated from the normal transportation process, preventing them from affecting subsequent production and further improving reliability.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figures 1 to 10 As shown:
[0036] This invention provides a latch conveying device, including a mounting component 101 for mounting the device. The bottom of the mounting component 101 is connected to a mounting frame 102. A transport component and a sorting component are arranged inside the mounting frame 102. The transport component includes a directional conveying ring 201. The bottom of the mounting frame 102 is connected to a first mounting plate 202. A circular groove 212 is opened on the top of the first mounting plate 202. The directional conveying ring 201 is rotatably disposed in the circular groove 212. The sorting component includes a recycling compartment 301 and a conveying structure 302 for conveying latches to the latching position. The bottom and one side of the first mounting plate 202 are respectively provided with a recycling compartment 301 and a conveying structure 302 corresponding to the directional conveying ring 201. A latch storage component is arranged on one side of the mounting frame 102. The latch storage component includes a latch storage frame 401 and a stamping bottom mold 402 for placing iron sheets.
[0037] Please see as follows Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a third mounting plate 403 is mounted on one side of the first mounting plate 202. A push-lock groove 404 is provided on the top of the third mounting plate 403 corresponding to the directional conveying ring 201. The size of this push-lock groove 404 is adapted to the lock, ensuring smooth sliding of the lock within it. A fourth mounting plate 405 is also provided on the top of the third mounting plate 403. A dovetail groove 406 is provided on the top of the fourth mounting plate 405. The bottom of the stamping die 402 is slidably connected to the dovetail groove 406 via a slider. This connection method allows the stamping die 402 to move smoothly within the dovetail groove 406. A first mounting base 407 is provided on the top of the first mounting plate 202. A push-lock cylinder 408 and a push-plate cylinder 409 are arranged vertically on one side of the first mounting base 407. A pneumatic rod at one end of the push-plate cylinder 409 is connected to the die. The mold pusher plate 410 is connected to the stamping bottom mold 402 at one end. When the pusher cylinder 409 is activated, its pneumatic rod extends and drives the mold pusher plate 410 to move, which in turn drives the stamping bottom mold 402 to move smoothly along the dovetail groove 406. Finally, the stamping bottom mold 402 and the iron sheet placed on it are pushed into the stamping position at the bottom of the lock magazine frame 401, preparing for the subsequent lock stamping process. The pneumatic rod at one end of the lock pusher cylinder 408 is connected to the lock pusher plate 411. The lock pusher plate 411 is slidably connected to the lock pusher groove 404. By activating the lock pusher cylinder 408, its pneumatic rod drives the lock pusher plate 411 to slide along the lock pusher groove 404, which can push the lock that has fallen into the lock pusher groove 404 after stamping into the directional conveying ring 201 of the transport component for the lock transport process.
[0038] Please see as follows Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the latch assembly also includes a stamping upper die 412. A latch frame 401 is mounted on the top of the fourth mounting plate 405. A stamping guide groove 413 is provided on the latch frame 401, and the stamping upper die 412 can slide within the stamping guide groove 413. A second mounting seat 414 is provided on one side of the third mounting plate 403. A stamping forming cylinder 415 is mounted on the top of the second mounting seat 414. A cylinder head 416 is provided at the top of the stamping forming cylinder 415. A fulcrum seat 417 is provided on one side of the mounting part 101. One end of a force-applying rod 419 is rotatably connected to one side of the fulcrum seat 417 via a movable pin 418. The other end of the force-applying rod 419 is rotatably connected to the cylinder head 416 via a first shaft pin. A first connecting hole 420 is provided at the bottom of the force-applying rod 419. One end of a connecting rod 421 is rotatably connected to the first connecting hole 420 via a second shaft pin. The stamping upper die 412 is close to the connecting rod 421. A second connecting hole 422 is provided on one side of the connecting rod 421, and the other end of the connecting rod 421 is rotatably connected to the second connecting hole 422 through a third shaft pin. When the stamping forming cylinder 415 is started, the cylinder head 416 moves downward, driving the force rod 419 to rotate downward. The rotation of the force rod 419 causes the connecting rod 421 to be subjected to force, which in turn drives the upper stamping die 412 to stamp downward along the stamping guide groove 413. The upper stamping die 412 and the lower stamping die 402 mesh with each other, stamping the iron sheet placed on the lower stamping die 402 into a lock. This method of making locks on-site can produce locks at any time according to actual production needs, ensuring a stable supply of locks. It solves the problem of small storage capacity of finished locks in traditional conveying devices, which requires frequent manual replenishment. Moreover, using iron sheets as raw materials for stamping is cheaper than purchasing finished locks, thus improving economic efficiency.
[0039] Please see as follows Figure 8As shown, a mounting slot 423 is provided on one side of the upper stamping die 412. A latch release cylinder 424 is installed in the mounting slot 423. A cylinder top block 425 is connected to the bottom of the latch release cylinder 424. A movable upper stamping plate 426 is provided inside the upper stamping die 412. The top of the upper stamping plate 426 is connected to the cylinder top block 425. A first mounting slot 427 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder top block 425. An electromagnet 428 is installed in the first mounting slot 427. A switch 429 is provided on the top of the upper stamping die 412. The switch 429 can be of model S08. The electromagnet 428 is electrically connected to the switch 429. When the latch is stamped, the switch 429 activates the electromagnet 428. The electromagnet 428 generates magnetic force, causing the latch to release. The latch is magnetically attached to the bottom of the upper stamping plate 426, disengaging it from the bottom stamping die 402. Subsequently, the latch-pushing cylinder 408 drives the bottom stamping die 402 out of the stamping position. The bottom of the dovetail groove 406 has a through groove 430 corresponding to the upper stamping plate 426, which communicates with the latch-pushing groove 404. At this time, the latch-removing cylinder 424 is activated, and the cylinder top block 425 drives the upper stamping plate 426 to move downward, passing the latch attached to the bottom of the upper stamping plate 426 through the through groove 430 and into the latch-pushing groove 404. Then, the circuit breaker 429 is disconnected, and the electromagnet 428 loses its magnetic force, causing the latch to fall from the upper stamping plate 426 onto the latch-pushing groove 404, waiting for the latch-pushing cylinder 408 to drive the latch-pushing plate 411 to push it into the transport assembly.
[0040] Please see as follows Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the transport assembly also includes a circular platform 203. The bottom of the first mounting plate 202 is connected to the circular platform 203 via a connecting seat 204. The directional conveying ring 201 is rotatably fitted around the circular platform 203. The top of the directional conveying ring 201 is provided with anti-slip texture, which increases the friction between the latch and the directional conveying ring 201, preventing the latch from slipping during transport. A transport side plate 205 is provided on the top of the first mounting plate 202 corresponding to the directional conveying ring 201. One side of the transport side plate 205 has an opening corresponding to the conveying structure 302. This facilitates the smooth transfer of the locking buckle from the directional conveying ring 201 to the conveying structure 302. A directional guide rod 206 is provided on the top of the first mounting plate 202 corresponding to the conveying structure 302 and the directional conveying ring 201. Multiple sets of first rotating seats 207 are provided around the circular platform 203, each set equipped with a slidable pulley 208. The bottom of the directional conveying ring 201 contacts the multiple sets of pulleys 208. The multiple sets of pulleys 208 reduce the friction during rotation of the directional conveying ring 201, making its rotation smoother. A gear ring 209 is provided at the bottom, and a rotary motor 210 is provided on the connecting seat 204. A gear 211 is provided on the main shaft of the rotary motor 210. The gear 211 meshes with the gear ring 209. By starting the rotary motor 210, the gear 211 is driven to rotate. The rotating gear 211, through meshing with the gear ring 209, causes the directional conveying ring 201 to rotate along the circumference of the circular platform 203, thereby transporting the locks placed on the directional conveying ring 201. When the lock is pushed onto the directional conveying ring 201 by the lock pusher plate 411, half of it is on the circular platform 203. Half of the latch is on the directional conveying ring 201. Driven by the directional conveying ring 201 and under the action of centrifugal force, the latch changes from horizontal to vertical, and one side moves along the transport side plate 205 until the other side of the latch contacts the directional guide rod 206 and moves along the directional guide rod 206 to the conveying structure 302, thereby transporting the latch to the biting position. This ensures the accuracy of the latch transport path, realizes the adjustment of the latch direction, and makes full preparation for the subsequent transport to the biting position. It reduces installation errors caused by transport deviation and improves the reliability of the entire production process.
[0041] Please see as follows Figure 6As shown, a third mounting base 324 is provided inside the mounting frame 102. A visual recognition module 325 is provided at the bottom of the third mounting base 324 corresponding to the directional conveying ring 201. The visual recognition module 325 can be a K210 model. The visual recognition module 325 can detect defects in the buckles transported on the directional conveying ring 201. By recognizing the shape, size and other features of the buckle surface, it can determine whether there are defects in the buckle, thus preventing defective buckles from entering subsequent stages and improving product quality. A mounting rod 326 is provided on one side of the third mounting base 324. A shadowless lamp 327 is provided at one end of the mounting rod 326. The shadowless lamp 327 faces the directional conveying ring 201. The setting of the shadowless lamp 327 can provide sufficient and uniform light for the detection of the visual recognition module 325, so that the visual recognition module 325 can obtain the image information of the buckle more clearly, thereby detecting the defects of the buckle more accurately.
[0042] Please see as follows Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sorting assembly also includes a recovery cylinder 309. A through groove is provided on one side of the transport side plate 205 corresponding to the recovery compartment 301. A mounting bracket 308 is provided on one side of the through groove, and a recovery cylinder 309 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 308. One end of the recovery cylinder 309 is connected to a push plate 310, which is slidably disposed in the through groove. A first mounting hole 311 is provided on the top of the mounting bracket 308 corresponding to the directional conveying ring 201. A photoelectric sensor 312 is provided on the top of the first mounting hole 311. The photoelectric sensor 312 can be of model E3F-DS30C4. When the visual recognition module 325 detects a defect in the latch transported on the directional conveying ring 201, the photoelectric sensor 312 will sense the position of the latch. When the latch reaches the bottom of the photoelectric sensor 312 and is detected, the recovery cylinder 309 immediately starts to extend the pneumatic rod to push out the push plate 310 and push the latch onto the falling partition 304.
[0043] Please see as follows Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a recycling compartment 301 is provided on one side of the circular platform 203, and a second mounting groove 303 is provided on the bottom of the circular platform 203 corresponding to the recycling compartment 301. A rotatable falling partition 304 is provided inside the recycling compartment 301, and two sets of second rotating seats 305 are provided inside the second mounting groove 303. The falling partition 304 is rotatably connected to the two sets of second rotating seats 305 through a rotating shaft. A falling motor 306 is provided on one set of second rotating seats 305, and the main shaft of the falling motor 306 is connected to the rotating shaft. The bottom of the circular platform 203 also has a... The recycling compartment 301 is equipped with a recycling transport channel 307 connected to the lock recycling equipment. When a defective lock is pushed onto the falling partition 304, the falling motor 306 is started to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby causing the falling partition 304 to rotate and open the recycling compartment 301. The lock falls through the recycling compartment 301 into the recycling transport channel 307 and is transported to the lock recycling equipment. Through this screening and recycling mechanism, defective locks can be separated from the normal transportation process, avoiding their impact on subsequent production and further improving reliability.

Guide posts 319 are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 317. Guide grooves 320 are opened on both sets of guide posts 319. Second electric telescopic rods 321 are also provided on both sides of the mounting frame 317. A clamping plate 322 is provided at one end of each set of second electric telescopic rods 321. The two sets of clamping plates 322 are slidably connected to the two sets of guide grooves 320 respectively. A buffer pad 323 is provided on the adjacent side of each set of clamping plates 322.
[0045] The specific usage and function of this embodiment: When using this device, firstly, the pusher cylinder 409 is activated, and the pneumatic rod at one end pushes the mold pusher plate 410, causing the stamping bottom mold 402 to slide along the dovetail groove 406 on the top of the fourth mounting plate 405, pushing the iron sheet placed on the stamping bottom mold 402 into the stamping position at the bottom of the lock magazine frame 401. Then, the stamping forming cylinder 415 is activated, causing the force-applying rod 419 to rotate around the movable pin 418 on the fulcrum seat 417. The connecting rod 421 connected to the bottom of the force-applying rod 419 through the second shaft pin is subjected to force, thereby causing the stamping upper mold 412 to press downward along the stamping guide groove 413 on the lock magazine frame 401. At this time, the stamping upper mold 412 and the stamping bottom mold 402 mesh with each other, stamping the iron sheet into a lock.
[0046] After the buckle is stamped, the switch 429 on the top of the upper stamping die 412 is connected, which energizes the electromagnet 428 installed in the first mounting groove 427 at the bottom of the cylinder top block 425 to generate magnetic force. The buckle is attracted to the bottom of the upper stamping plate 426. Then, the push plate cylinder 409 is activated again, which drives the stamping bottom die 402 to exit the stamping position. After that, the buckle peeling cylinder 424 is activated. The cylinder top block 425 connected to its bottom end drives the upper stamping plate 426 to move downward, passing through the through groove 430 at the bottom of the dovetail groove 406 and the push buckle groove 404, and sending the buckle attracted to the bottom of the upper stamping plate 426 into the push buckle groove 404. At this time, the switch 429 is disconnected, the electromagnet 428 loses its magnetic force, and the buckle falls on the push buckle groove 404. Finally, the push buckle cylinder 408 is activated to push the buckle push plate 411, pushing the buckle from the push buckle groove 404 onto the directional conveying ring 201.
[0047] After the latch reaches the directional conveying ring 201, half of it is on the circular platform 203 and the other half is on the directional conveying ring 201. Under the rotation of the directional conveying ring 201 and the action of centrifugal force, the latch changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and one side begins to move along the transport side plate 205 set on the top of the first mounting plate 202 corresponding to the directional conveying ring 201. During the movement, the visual recognition module 325 performs defect detection on the latches transported on the directional conveying ring 201. When a defective latch is detected, the position of the latch is sensed by the photoelectric sensor 312. When the latch reaches the bottom of the photoelectric sensor 312 and is detected, the recovery cylinder 309 is activated to push out the push plate 310, pushing the latch onto the falling partition 304. Then, the falling motor 306 is activated to drive the falling partition 304 to rotate and open the recovery compartment 301. The latch falls through the recovery compartment 301 into the recovery transport channel 307 and is transported to the latch recovery equipment.
[0048] For flawless locks, when transported to the top of the first mounting plate 202 at the guide rod 206 corresponding to the conveying structure 302 and the directional conveying ring 201, the other side of the lock moves along the guide rod 206 onto the conveying structure 302. Finally, the lock is transported to the latching position by the conveying structure 302, completing the entire lock transport process. This achieves on-site production, efficient transportation, and defect sorting of locks, solving the problems of small finished lock storage capacity requiring frequent manual replenishment, high procurement costs, and quality being affected by suppliers in traditional conveying devices.
[0049] Example 2: Based on the locking conveying device provided in Example 1 of this application, Example 2 of this application proposes a locking conveying device. This Example 2 is merely a preferred embodiment of Example 1, and its implementation will not affect the individual implementation of Example 1. The second embodiment of the present invention will be further described below.
[0050] Please see as follows Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the sorting assembly also includes a servo motor 314. A second mounting hole 313 is provided at the bottom of the circular platform 203. The servo motor 314 is installed at the bottom of the second mounting hole 313 as a power source. A rotatable rotating platform 315 is installed at the top of the second mounting hole 313. The main shaft of the servo motor 314 passes through the second mounting hole 313 and connects to the rotating platform 315, enabling the servo motor 314 to drive the rotating platform 315 to rotate around its own axis after startup. A first electric telescopic rod 316 is installed on one side of the rotating platform 315, and a mounting bracket 317 is connected to the other end of the first electric telescopic rod 316. A third mounting hole 318 is provided at one end of the mounting bracket 317. A photoelectric sensor 312 is installed in the third mounting hole 318. The photoelectric sensor 312 is used to detect the position information of the latch. Guide posts 319 are provided on both sides of the mounting bracket 317. Guide grooves 320 are opened on both sets of guide posts 319. Second electric telescopic rods 321 are also provided on both sides of the mounting bracket 317. One end of each set of second electric telescopic rods 321 is connected to a clamping plate 322. The two sets of clamping plates 322 are slidably connected to the two sets of guide grooves 320 respectively. When the second electric telescopic rods 321 are activated, their telescopic movement can drive the clamping plates 322 along the... The guide groove 320 slides to achieve the clamping or releasing operation of the lock. Each of the two sets of clamping plates 322 has a buffer pad 323 on one adjacent side to prevent hard collisions between the clamping plates 322 and the lock when the clamping plates 322 clamp the lock, while increasing the stability of the clamping. The photoelectric sensor 312 initially faces the lock-pushing groove 404. When the lock is pushed onto the directional conveying ring 201, its position is captured by the photoelectric sensor 312, and the servo motor 314 is activated to drive the rotating table 315 to rotate. This allows the photoelectric sensor 312 to continuously track the lock transported on the directional conveying ring 201. When the lock is visually detected... When the identification module 325 detects a defective product, it activates the first electric telescopic rod 316, bringing one side of the mounting bracket 317 close to the defective latch. Then, it activates two sets of second electric telescopic rods 321 to move two sets of clamping plates 322 to clamp the product and place it on the falling partition 304 for recycling. On the other hand, when the photoelectric sensor 312 detects that the latch has insufficient or no contact with the directional conveying ring 201, resulting in no transportation, it activates the first electric telescopic rod 316 to push the latch onto the directional conveying ring 201, so that one side of the latch contacts the transport side plate 205 for transportation.
[0051] Compared to Embodiment 1, which uses a fixed-position photoelectric sensor 312 to detect the latches transported on the directional conveying ring 201, Embodiment 2 uses a mounting bracket 317 on one side of a rotatable rotating platform 315. One end of the mounting bracket 317 has a third mounting hole 318, within which a photoelectric sensor 312 is installed. The main difference is that this allows for better detection of the latches' positions on the directional conveying ring 201. It not only captures the latch's position when it initially enters the directional conveying ring 201 but also maintains position tracking as the latch continues to move along the directional conveying ring 201, preventing the latch's position from changing beyond the fixed position. The monitoring blind spots caused by the sensor's monitoring range are eliminated to ensure that the position information of each latch during transportation can be completely acquired. Therefore, compared with the method of detection by a fixed-position photoelectric sensor 312, by starting the servo motor 314 to drive the rotating table 315 to rotate, the photoelectric sensor 312 can continuously track the latches transported on the directional conveying ring 201, which can improve the comprehensiveness and continuity of latch position detection, improve the accuracy and reliability of latch position judgment during sorting, and in practical applications, it can also handle latches with abnormal transportation status, further optimizing the latch transportation process; the other conditions are the same as in Embodiment 1, so this embodiment will not be repeated.
