The gap between the bottom of the baffle 7 and the guide support 4 can provide a through channel for a button, and the baffle 7 can provide a resistance effect for the stacked buttons to prevent the buttons from being fed in an overlapping manner. The inclined plate 6 has an inclination angle, which can gradually and linearly narrow the feeding channel of the guide support 4, so that the buttons can be arranged and moved one by one in the guide support 4 for feeding.

[0087] During the actual application of this embodiment: the staff can push the frame 1 according to the needs of the actual situation, so that the frame 1 uses the universal wheel 2 to drive the vibrating feed tray 3, the guide support 4 and the support plate 5 to move together, so that the end of the output end of the support plate 5 can correspond to the button processing station, and then the buttons to be processed are injected into the vibrating feed tray 3, and the vibrating feed tray 3 is started to transport the buttons, so that the buttons use the vibration to move toward the direction close to the guide support 4, and are guided and arranged by the inclination angle of the inclined plate 6, and at the same time pass through the guide support 4 to move into the support plate 5, and use the vibration to transport the materials to the processing station one by one under the guidance of the support plate 5, and a conveyor belt can be set at the output end of the support plate 5 to continue the conveying path.

[0088] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cold coating unit includes an air pushing member and a coating member, and the air pushing member includes:

[0089] The gas cylinder 8 is fixed under the guide bracket 4, and the fixed end of the reciprocating push rod 10 is connected to the inner wall of one end of the gas cylinder 8, and the telescopic end is connected to the other end of the gas cylinder 8;

[0092] There are two conical tubes 13 , one of which is vertically connected to the bottom of the branch tube 12 and close to the other end of the branch tube 12 .

[0093] Specifically, a one-way valve 9 is fixed through the bottom of the air cylinder 8 to supply air to the air cylinder 8. The upper end of the air cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 23 to provide stable support for the air cylinder 8. The air cylinder 8 can be folded and contracted under the action of external force, and can be stretched and extended under the action of external force. The air cylinder 8 can provide stable support for the trachea 11, and the trachea 11 can provide an exhaust channel for the air in the air cylinder 8. The guide support 4 can provide support for the branch pipe 12 and the trachea 11, and the trachea 11 can provide a channel for the air to enter the branch pipe 12. The branch pipe 12 and the trachea 11 can provide a channel for the air to enter the cone 13. The air will eventually pass through the cone 13 and be ejected accelerated under the pressure generated by the folding and contraction of the air cylinder 8.

[0094] Coated parts include:

[0095] The rotating rod 14 is rotatably arranged on the inner side of the guide bracket 4;

[0096] The wind plate 15 and the connecting plate 16 have a plurality of evenly fixed to the outside of the rotating rod 14, the connecting plate 16 has two, and the two connecting plates 16 are symmetrically arranged, and one of the wind plates 15 is located directly below the branch pipe 12 connected to the conical tube 13 below;

[0097] There are two cotton brushes 17, which are respectively fixed at the ends of the two connecting plates 16;

[0098] The storage and row parts are arranged in the guide bracket 4 and can contact one of the cotton brushes 17.

[0099] Specifically, the guide support 4 can provide rotational support for the rotating rod 14, the rotating rod 14 can provide support for the wind plate 15 and the connecting plate 16, the connecting plate 16 can firmly support the cotton brush 17, the cotton brush 17 is relatively soft and has adsorption properties, and can absorb silicone oil and apply it to the button surface in contact with it.

[0100] Storage and drainage parts include:

[0101] The storage cylinder 18 is fixed on the inner side of the guide 4 and is located above the cotton brush 17;

[0102] There are multiple ball grooves 19, evenly distributed at the lower end of the storage cylinder 18;

[0103] There are multiple through holes 20, which are evenly arranged in the storage cylinder 18 and communicate with the ball groove 19;

[0104] The ball 21 is rotatably disposed through the ball groove 19 , and is fitted with the storage cylinder 18 via the ball groove 19 to seal the ball groove 19 , and is supported by the storage cylinder 18 .

[0105] Specifically, the guide support 4 can provide stable support for the storage cylinder 18, the storage cylinder 18 can provide space for the ball groove 19 and the through hole 20, the ball groove 19 can provide rotation and penetration space for the ball 21, and the ball groove 19 and the storage cylinder 18 can cooperate to provide support for the ball 21 to prevent the ball 21 from completely moving out to the outside, and the ball 21 can use gravity to fit with the storage cylinder 18 at the edge of the ball groove 19 to play a sealing role, and the through hole 20 can provide a channel for the silicone oil in the storage cylinder 18 to enter the ball groove 19, so that the silicone oil can fill the contact surface of the ball 21.

[0106] In the actual application process of this embodiment, the staff needs to inject silicone oil into the storage cylinder 18 for storage before feeding. Then, during the feeding process, the reciprocating push rod 10 can be started under the support of the gas cylinder 8, so that the reciprocating push rod 10 pushes and pulls the gas cylinder 8 back and forth, so that the gas cylinder 8 can be folded, contracted and stretched back and forth. When the gas cylinder 8 is folded and contracted, the one-way valve 9 will block the gas in the gas cylinder 8 from being discharged, and the gas in the gas cylinder 8 can be squeezed into the trachea 11, and part of the gas will pass through the trachea 11 into the branch pipe 12, and then the gas will pass through the branch pipe 12 and the trachea 11 into the cone. The gas will eventually pass through the cone tube 13 and be discharged at an accelerated rate, so that the gas discharged from one of the cone tubes 13 can be blown onto the wind plate 15 or the connecting plate 16 (depending on whether the wind plate 15 or the connecting plate 16 is located below the cone tube 13). As a result, the wind plate 15 or the connecting plate 16 can drive the cotton brush 17 and the rotating rod 14 to rotate counterclockwise under the support of the guide 4 under the impetus of the airflow. In the process of the cotton brush 17 being driven by the connecting plate 16 to rotate, the cotton brush 17 will contact with the rolling ball 21 and be deformed under the action of the rotating force and the resistance of the rolling ball 21. At the same time, the rolling ball 21 The ball 21 is pushed upward by the rotational force, thereby opening the opening of the ball groove 19, and the ball 21 is pushed to rotate inside the ball groove 19 by the friction force as the cotton brush 17 rotates, so that the silicone oil in the storage cylinder 18 can pass through the through hole 20 and the ball groove 19 and be coated on the cotton brush 17. When the cotton brush 17 passes over the ball 21, the ball 21 will drop to a position under the action of gravity and fit into the storage cylinder 18, thereby closing the ball groove 19. As the cotton brush 17 follows the rotation of the connecting plate 16 and the rotating rod 14, the cotton brush 17 will contact the buttons transported in the guide 4 and During the rotation of the cotton brush 17, the resistance force of the button is utilized to deform, so that the cotton brush 17 can move along the surface of the button during the rotation, and then the silicone oil can be applied to the button, thereby improving the functionality of the feeding equipment, and utilizing the silicone oil to provide a cooling effect for the button during the drilling process, preventing the button from melting and sticking to the drill bit due to the high temperature of friction during the drilling process (compared with the traditional method of applying coolant by manpower and a brush, the work efficiency is improved and manpower is saved, and compared with the traditional method of directly spraying coolant, it is convenient to observe the drilling position, which saves resources and reduces energy consumption).

[0107] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the blocking relief portion includes a pressure contact member and a disturbance member, and the pressure contact member includes:

[0108] The through slot 22 is formed through the bottom of the guide support 4 and is located between the baffle 7 and the support plate 5;

When the button moves to the support plate 25, the pressure sensor 24 will sense that the gravity on the support plate 25 becomes larger, thereby maintaining the contraction of the first electric rod 32. When there is no button on the support plate 25, the pressure sensor 24 will It senses that gravity is smaller than when there are buttons, and thus controls the first electric rod 32 to extend for five to ten seconds, and then the first electric rod 32 will contract and reset (the interval from the contraction and reset of the first electric rod 32 to the re-sensing of pressure changes by the pressure sensor 24 is also five to ten seconds, and five to ten seconds is enough for the buttons to be fed from the output end of the vibrating feed tray 3 to the support plate 25 by vibration).

The rubber film 31 is elastic and can be deformed under the action of external force. It will rebound after the external force disappears, and can provide feeding support for the buttons.

[0120] Ejector parts include:

[0121] There are two side plates 26 symmetrically fixed on the side of the gas cylinder 8 away from the pressure sensor 24 ;

[0122] There are two steel wires 29, one end of which is fixed to the side plate 26, and the other end passes through the through hole 27 and extends into the inner channel 28;

[0123] The push block 30 is fixedly connected to the other ends of the two steel wires 29 and contacts the lower side of the adhesive film 31 . The push block 30 has an inclined angle and an arc and is located on the push plate 33 .

[0124] Specifically, the air cylinder 8 can provide stable support for the side plate 26, and the side plate 26 can provide support for the steel wire 29. The steel wire 29 has toughness and can be deformed under the action of external force. It will rebound when the external force disappears, and can use external force to push the push block 30 to translate in the inner channel 28. The push block 30 and the push plate 33 are relatively smooth, and the push plate 33 can provide translational sliding support for the push block 30.

[0125] When conveying buttons, the existing feeding equipment may get stuck between the output end of the vibrating feeding tray 3 and the inclined plate 6 during the conveying process.

[0126] In actual application of this embodiment, when buttons are blocked between the output end of the vibrating feed tray 3 and the inclined plate 6, the buttons cannot be continuously fed to the support plate 25, and the guide support 4 will transmit the vibration to the support plate 25 through the fixed plate 23 and the pressure sensor 24, so that the support plate 25 uses vibration to feed the buttons. When the buttons on the support plate 25 are transported to the support plate 5, and at the same time, no buttons are fed to the support plate 25 due to the blockage of the buttons, the pressure sensor 24 will sense that the weight becomes smaller, thereby controlling the first electric rod 32 to extend through the controller, so that the first electric rod 32 can use the telescopic end to push the push plate 33 upward under the support of the guide support 4, so that the push plate 33 can push the push block 30 upward, and at the same time, the push block 30 will use the external force and its own curvature to push the rubber film 31 upward, so that the rubber film 31 can be used to press the rubber film 31 upward. The push block 30 is arched upward by the curvature, and at the same time, the reciprocating push rod 10 will drive the side plate 26 to move up and down together through the air cylinder 8, and the side plate 26 will use external force to push and pull the steel wire 29 back and forth, so that the steel wire 29 can push and pull the push block 30 back and forth under the action of external force and the guidance of the perforation 27, so that the push block 30 can use external force to move back and forth along the inner path 28 under the support of the push plate 33. At the same time, the curvature will be used to continuously change the arched position of the rubber film 31 during the translation process, and then the arched curvature and inclination angle of the rubber film 31 and the push block 30 will be used to push the blocked button, thereby interfering with the blocked button, thereby unblocking the button blockage and returning the button conveying to the orderly feeding, so that the feeding equipment can automatically unblock the blocked button, more timely, and improve work efficiency.

[0127] When the first electric rod 32 is retracted, the push block 30 will drop in height, and the deformed rubber film 31 will rebound and return to its original position. The push block 30 will not push the rubber film 31 to arch when it moves horizontally in the inner channel 28, so that it can stand by for unblocking work.

[0128] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flip portion includes a blocking member and an overturning member, and the blocking member includes:

[0129] The infrared distance sensor 52 is fixed on the side of the baffle 7 close to the storage cylinder 18;

[0130] The second electric rod 35 is placed above the L seat 34;

[0131] A through opening 38 is provided through the fixing plate 23;

[0132] The groove 39 is provided below the guide 4 and above the through-opening 38;

[0133] There are two through-passages 40 , which are opened through the guide 4 and communicate with the groove 39 ;

[0134] The elastic piece 36 is fixed to the telescopic end of the second electric rod 35 and passes through the through-hole 38;

[0135] The support plate 37 is fixed to the lower end of the abutment plate 41 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the elastic plate 36 and is located inside the through slot 22;

[0136] The abutment plate 41 is located in the groove 39 and extends into one of the through-channels 40 .

[0137] Specifically, the infrared ranging sensor 52 can detect the distance between the lower detection end and the guide bracket 4. When the button moves between the detection end of the infrared ranging sensor 52 and the guide bracket 4, the infrared ranging sensor 52 will sense the distance change. When the front of the button is facing up, the distance between it and the infrared ranging sensor 52 is far (because the front of the button is a downward concave structure); when the front of the button is facing down, the distance between it and the infrared ranging sensor 52 becomes closer (because the back of the button is an arc-shaped arched structure), so that the infrared ranging sensor 52 can determine the front direction of the button. The L seat 34 can provide support for the second electric rod 35 under the support of the pressure sensor 24. The second electric rod 35 can provide support for the elastic sheet 36. The elastic sheet 36 is elastic and can be deformed under the action of external force. It will rebound when the external force disappears, and can provide support for the support plate 37. The support plate 37 can provide support for the resistance plate 41, and the support plate 37 cannot pass through the through channel 40, and can provide resistance for the elastic sheet 36.

[0138] The rebuttal documents include:

[0139] Another conical tube 13 is vertically connected to one side of the air pipe 11 and passes through the baffle 7;

[0140] The connecting plate 42 is fixed to the side of the second electric rod 35 close to the air cylinder 8;

[0141] The guide plate 43 is fixedly provided through the connecting plate 42;

[0142] The movable groove 44 is formed at the upper end of the guide plate 43. A movable opening 45 is formed on the side of the guide plate 43 close to the air cylinder 8, and the movable opening 45 is connected to the movable groove 44.

[0143] The top plate 48 is fixed to the connecting plate 42 and extends through the through-hole 38 and the groove 39 into another through-channel 40;

[0144] The driving component is arranged at the lower end of the air cylinder 8 and is located in the direction of the air cylinder 8 close to the guide plate 43.

[0145] Specifically, the air pipe 11 can provide support for another conical tube 13, and the air pipe 11 can provide a channel for gas to enter the conical tube 13. The conical tube 13 is a conical structure, and the gas can be accelerated to eject through the conical tube 13. The second electric rod 35 can provide stable support for the connecting plate 42 through the fixing parts. The connecting plate 42 can provide support for the guide plate 43 and the top plate 48. The ends of the top plate 48 and the abutment plate 41 have curvatures. The guide plate 43 can provide opening space for the movable groove 44 and the movable opening 45. The movable groove 44 and the movable opening 45 can provide a penetration and movement channel for the Z-shaped plate 46.

[0146] Drive parts include:

[0147] A Z-shaped plate 46, one end of which is fixed to the telescopic end of the second electric rod 35 by a fixing member, and the other end of which passes through the movable groove 44 and the movable opening 45;

[0148] The switch 47 is provided through the connecting plate 42 and is located above the other end of the Z-shaped plate;

[0149] A third electric rod 49 is provided through the guide plate 43;

[0150] The second magnet 51 is embedded in the lower end of the cylinder 8;

[0151] The first magnet 50 is fixed to the telescopic end of the third electric rod 49 and can be magnetically connected to the second magnet 51 .

[0152] Specifically, the second electric rod 35 can provide support for the Z-shaped plate 46 through the fixed components. The Z-shaped plate 46 can be lifted and lowered along the movable groove 44 and the movable opening 45 under the action of external force, and can use external force to squeeze the switch 47 so that the switch 47 can be squeezed and triggered under the support of the connecting plate 42. After the switch 47 is triggered, it will control the third electric rod 49 to extend. The third electric rod 49 can use the telescopic end to push the first magnet 50 to move horizontally below the second magnet 51. The positive pole of the first magnet 50 faces upward and the negative pole of the second magnet 51 faces downward, so that the first magnet 50 and the second magnet 51 can be attracted to each other by magnetic force. The magnetic force generated is greater than the elastic force of the elastic sheet 36 plus the gravity of the elastic sheet 36, the second electric rod 35, the connecting plate 42, the Z-shaped plate 46, the guide plate 43, the third electric rod 49, the first magnet 50, the abutment plate 41, the top plate 48, the switch 47 and the support plate 37.

[0153] In actual application of this embodiment, when the distance detected by the infrared distance sensor 52 matches the distance between the button facing downward and the infrared distance sensor 52, the infrared distance sensor 52 will control the second electric rod 35 to extend, so that the second electric rod 35, supported by the L seat 34, uses the telescopic end to push the elastic sheet 36 and the Z-shaped plate upward, so that the elastic sheet 36 can push the support plate 37 and the support plate 41 upward, so that the support plate 41 moves upward under the guidance of the through channel 40 and passes through the through channel 40 to extend above the support plate 25. At the same time, the support plate 37 will contact the support plate 25 to provide a force for the elastic sheet 36. The extended support plate 41 at this time will provide resistance for the button feeding above the support plate 25, preventing the button from continuing to move forward (this setting can prevent the reciprocating push rod 10 from being unable to push the support plate 41 up in time to resist the movement of the button when it is in the retracted state). During this process, the Z-shaped plate 46 will move upward along the movable opening 45 and the movable groove 44 under the drive of the telescopic end of the second electric rod 35, so that the Z-shaped plate 46 can extend the support plate 41 to the position above the support plate 25 to provide resistance for the button while squeezing the switch 47, so that the switch 47 triggers the control of the third electric rod 49 to extend. The third electric rod 49 uses the telescopic end to push the first magnet 50 to move downwards from the second magnet 51. When the reciprocating push rod 10 is in the extended state, the air cylinder 8 drives the second magnet 51 to contact the first magnet 50, so that the first magnet 50 and the second magnet 51 are attracted together by magnetic force. Then, when the reciprocating push rod 10 contracts, the air cylinder 8 and the second magnet 51, together with the magnetic force of the first magnet 50, drive the third electric rod 49 upwards, thereby causing the third electric rod 49 to drive the guide plate 43 to move upwards, so that the guide plate 43 drives the second electric rod 49 through the connecting plate 42. The electric rod 35, the switch 47 and the top plate 48 move upward together, so that the second electric rod 35 can bend and deform the elastic sheet 36 under the resistance of the support plate 37 during the upward movement. At the same time, the top plate 48 moves upward through the through-channel 40 driven by the connecting plate 42, so that the top plate 48 can push the button resisted by the push plate 41, so that the button is pushed upward by the top plate 48 under the resistance of the push plate 41, so that the button facing downward is lifted up, and the button rotates counterclockwise with the contact surface between the button and the push plate 41 as the center of the circle, so that the button can be tilted to the height corresponding to the output end of the other cone tube 13 (such as Figure 15As shown), at the same time, when the reciprocating push rod 10 contracts, the gas will pass through the air pipe 11 and the conical tube 13 and be accelerated to be ejected toward the lifted and tilted button, so that the button can be blown by the accelerated airflow to continue to rotate counterclockwise, and then the button can be flipped over the back plate 41. When the reciprocating push rod 10 runs from the contracted state to the fully extended state, the top plate 48 is reset, and the second electric rod 35 will contract and reset, thereby driving the back plate 41 and the Z-shaped plate 46 to reset, and then the Z-shaped plate 46 is separated from the switch 47. The switch 47 pops up and resets, and then the third electric rod 49 is contracted and reset, so that the first magnet 50 is separated and reset from the second magnet 51, and the infrared ranging sensor 52 performs the sensing work of the next cycle, and the subsequent buttons continue to move forward and feed.

[0154] The top plate 48 will provide resistance for the next button after it extends upward out of the through-channel 40 to prevent the subsequent buttons from advancing.

[0155] The working principle is that a worker places buttons to be processed onto the vibrating feed tray 3. The vibration of the vibrating feed tray 3 transports the buttons in an orderly manner to the guide bracket 4. The inclined design of the inclined plate 6 gradually narrows the passage of the guide bracket 4, allowing the buttons to be arranged and moved individually. The gap between the baffle 7 and the guide bracket 4 only allows a single button to pass through, preventing the buttons from overlapping and improving feeding accuracy. The structural design of the inclined plate 6, baffle 7, and guide bracket 4 achieves the separation and orderly arrangement of individual buttons, preventing overlap, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of feeding, and greatly improving the level of automation.

[0156] Silicone oil is pre-injected into the storage cylinder 18. During the feeding process, the air cylinder 8 drives the reciprocating push rod 10 to move, pushing the air flow out through the air pipe 11, the branch pipe 12, and the cone pipe 13, driving the wind plate 15, the connecting plate 16 and the cotton brush 17 to rotate. The cotton brush 17 contacts the ball 21 during the rotation. The ball 21 rotates under the action of friction and opens the ball groove 19, allowing the silicone oil to enter the cotton brush 17. The cotton brush 17 then contacts the surface of the button and evenly applies the silicone oil to the button surface, achieving effective cooling before drilling. The cotton brush 17 is used to automatically apply silicone oil, and the coolant can be accurately applied to the surface of each button, effectively reducing the temperature rise during drilling, preventing the button from melting and sticking to the drill bit, improving processing quality, and reducing material loss and equipment failure. The coolant is quantitatively applied by the cotton brush 17, avoiding the waste of traditional spraying methods, making it easier to observe the processing position, saving coolant usage, reducing energy consumption, and being green and environmentally friendly.

[0157] Pressure sensor 24 beneath guide support 4 monitors pressure changes within the feed channel in real time. When a button becomes clogged, interrupting feeding, pressure sensor 24 detects the weight reduction and controls the extension of first electric rod 32, driving push plate 33, push block 30, and film 31 to work together. Push block 30 translates within inner channel 28 and arches film 31, disturbing and unblocking the clogged button, thus automatically unblocking it. Once unblocked, pressure is restored, first electric rod 32 resets, and the equipment resumes normal feeding. Through pressure sensor 24 and automatic push and unblocking, feed channel blockages are detected in real time and automatically cleared, significantly reducing manual intervention, enhancing the production line's continuous operation capabilities, reducing downtime, and improving production efficiency.

[0158] The infrared distance sensor 52 detects the front and back of the button. When it is detected that the button is facing down, the second electric rod 35 is controlled to extend, pushing the elastic sheet 36, the support plate 37, and the abutment plate 41 to move up to the feeding channel to provide resistance for the button. The Z-shaped plate 46 moves up synchronously to trigger the switch 47, the third electric rod 49 extends, the first magnet 50 and the second magnet 51 are attracted, and the top plate 48 is driven up by magnetic force. The top plate 48 lifts the button and cooperates with the airflow of the conical tube 13 to flip the button so that it faces up. After the flipping is completed, the relevant components are reset and feeding continues. The infrared distance sensor 52 is used to automatically identify the front and back of the button, and automatic flipping is achieved through the mechanical flipping mechanism to ensure that the subsequent processes have the requirements for the front direction of the button.

[0159] Through a number of innovative structures and automatic control means, the present invention realizes the multi-functional integration of automatic feeding, cooling, unblocking and turning over in button processing, greatly improving the automation level, production efficiency and product quality, and has significant technological progress and industrial application value.

[0160] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
