Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a branching mechanism, specifically to a nail-splitting mechanism for a container wood flooring nailing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated assembly production of screws, feeding devices such as screw guide plates typically arrange the screws into a continuous output path. However, to meet the needs of simultaneous operation at multiple workstations and improve production efficiency, it is necessary to distribute this screw flow evenly and stably to multiple workstations (e.g., five workstations).

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a screw-diverting mechanism that reliably and efficiently diverts arranged screws from a single channel to multiple output channels. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the issue of simultaneous nail screening and output, this invention provides a reliable and jam-resistant nail-splitting mechanism for container wood flooring nailing machines. This mechanism enables a smooth transition and distribution from one nail inlet to five nail outlets.

[0005] This invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] The nail-sieving and branching mechanism of the container wood flooring nailing machine includes a feeding hopper, a nail-sieving sorting plate, a feeding guide plate, a nail divider, a branching disc, a receiving device, and a discharge conduit arranged in sequence. The nail-sieving sorting plate is installed in the feeding hopper. The feeding guide plate is arranged on the nail-sieving sorting plate according to the nail discharge direction. The nail divider is installed at the discharge end of the feeding guide plate. The nail divider is installed at the center of the branching disc. Multiple receiving devices are evenly installed around the perimeter of the branching disc. Multiple discharge conduits are installed below the receiving devices.

[0007] Furthermore, the feed guide plate is fixedly installed on the mounting base, and the feed guide plate has a horizontal feed guide channel inside that guides the screen nails to the middle of its other end.

[0008] Furthermore, the nail separator includes a cylinder, a slider, a guide key, and a housing. The housing consists of a cover plate, a bottom plate, and a support plate between the cover plate and the bottom plate. A feeding port is provided at the bottom of the housing. The slider and the guide key are provided inside the housing. The guide key is located on one side of the slider. The cylinder is located outside the housing, and one end of the cylinder extends out to push the slider.

[0009] Furthermore, the receiving device includes a dual-shaft cylinder, a receiving pipe, a fixing plate, and an adjusting pad. One end of the dual-shaft cylinder is connected to the receiving pipe through the fixing plate and the adjusting pad, and the receiving pipe is connected to the discharge conduit.

[0010] Furthermore, the nail splitter is mounted on the feed guide plate and located at the discharge end of the feed guide plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the branching plate is semi-circular in shape, and five receiving devices are evenly installed around its perimeter.

[0012] Furthermore, the receiving device uses a dual-axis cylinder to push the receiving tube, enabling the screw to be precisely inserted into the discharge conduit in a vertical position.

[0013] Furthermore, the discharge conduit is provided with five conduits, the inlet of which is aligned with the discharge port of the nail splitter, and the five receiving devices that connect the outlet of the conduit to the downstream equipment.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the screen nail diversion mechanism of the present invention includes a feeding hopper, a screen nail sorting plate, a feeding guide nail plate, a nail divider, a diversion disc, a receiving device, and a discharge conduit.

[0015] High reliability: By adopting a fixed nail divider and a distribution plate, only one nail is captured at a time, and it is transported to the designated outlet through precise positioning control. This completely avoids the problem of low reliability caused by the overly complex results of multi-layer nail dividing mechanisms, greatly reduces the risk of nail jamming, and significantly improves reliability.

[0016] Flexible branching: The receiving device extends the receiving tube at a set interval, and the screw distributor dispenses one or more screws. It can quickly switch to any branch and dispense any number of screws, offering flexible branching and fast screw dispensing.

[0017] Good adaptability: By changing the distribution plate of different specifications, it can adapt to screen nails of different sizes, making it highly versatile.

[0018] High efficiency: The intermittent motion is fast, and combined with pneumatic-assisted feeding, the material is smoothly and quickly separated, which can meet the needs of high-speed production. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-3 The nail-sieving and branching mechanism of the container wood flooring nailing machine of the present invention includes a feeding hopper 1, a nail-sieving plate 2, a feeding guide plate 3, a nail divider 4, a branching disc 5, a receiving device 6, and a discharge conduit 7 arranged in sequence. The nail-sieving plate 2 is installed in the feeding hopper 1. The feeding guide plate 3 is arranged in the nail-sieving plate 2 according to the nail discharge direction. The nail divider 4 is installed at the discharge end of the feeding guide plate 3. The nail divider 4 is installed at the center of the branching disc 5. Multiple receiving devices 6 are evenly installed around the periphery of the branching disc 5. The discharge conduit 7 is installed below the receiving device 6.

[0032] The combination of the feeding hopper 1 and the screen nail sorting plate 2 is used to orient and sort the randomly stacked screen nails and form a single-column orderly output.

[0033] Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the feed guide plate 3 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 8. One end of it is provided with a feed port connected to the upstream feeding device, and the inside is provided with a horizontal feed guide channel 31 that guides the screen nails to the middle of the other end.

[0034] The nail splitter 4 is installed on the feed guide nail plate 3 and is located at the discharge end of the feed guide nail plate 3.

[0035] Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the nail separator 4 includes a cylinder 41, a slider 42, a guide key 43, and a housing. The housing consists of a cover plate 45, a base plate 46, and a support plate 47 between the cover plate 45 and the base plate 46. A feed port 44 is provided at the bottom of the housing. The slider 42 and the guide key 43 are provided inside the housing. The guide key 43 is located on one side of the slider 42. The cylinder 41 is located outside the housing, and one end of the cylinder 41 extends out to push the slider 42.

[0036] When the cylinder 41 is in the retracted state, it drives the slider 42 to move to the nail picking position. The groove in the slider 42 will be aligned with the discharge end of the feeding guide plate 3, and the nail will fall into the groove of the slider 42.

[0037] The cylinder 41 extends its piston rod, which drives the slider 42 to slide along the base plate 46 via the guide key 43, pushing the slider 42 containing the nail from the nail-removing station to the nail-feeding station (corresponding to the discharge port 44 position), thus completing the separation of a single nail.

[0038] The feeding port of the nail splitter 4 is located at the center of the dividing plate 5. The dividing plate 5 is semi-circular in shape, and five receiving devices 6 are evenly installed around the perimeter of the dividing plate 5.

[0039] Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the receiving device 6 includes a dual-shaft cylinder 61, a receiving pipe 62, a fixing plate 63, and an adjusting pad 64. One end of the dual-shaft cylinder 61 is connected to the receiving pipe 62 through the fixing plate 63 and the adjusting pad 64. The receiving pipe 62 is connected to the discharge pipe 7.

[0040] The receiving device 6 pushes the receiving pipe 62 through the dual-axis cylinder 61, so that the screw can be accurately inserted into the discharge pipe 7 in a vertical position.

[0041] The dual-axis cylinder 61 drives the receiving pipe 62 to reciprocate, first receiving the material from the nail splitter 4, and then sending it to the discharge pipe 7 to realize the transfer and connection of nails.

[0042] The discharge conduit 7 has five tubes, with the inlet end aligned with the discharge port of the nail splitter 4. The tubes pass through five receiving devices 6, which connect the outlet end to the downstream equipment.

[0043] Figure 4 The diagram shows the screen nails falling into the nail separator 4 and the material receiving device 6 during unloading. The screen nail separating mechanism of this invention is modular, making assembly and disassembly very convenient.

[0044] Workflow:

[0045] 1. Feeding stage: The feeding hopper 1 and the screen nail sorting plate 2 are used to orient and sort the randomly stacked screen nails and form a single orderly output. The screen nails enter the feeding guide plate 2 from the upstream feeding device.

[0046] 2. Guiding and Conveying Stage: The screen nails are guided to the nail separator 4 through the horizontal feed guide channel;

[0047] 3. Nail sorting and center feeding stage: The nail sorter 4 concentrates the screen nails and feeds them to the center of the distribution plate 5;

[0048] 4. Distribution stage: The distribution plate 5 distributes the screen nails to the surrounding receiving devices 6;

[0049] 5. Material receiving and posture adjustment stage: The material receiving device 6 pushes the material receiving pipe 62 through the dual-shaft cylinder 61 to put the screen nails into the discharge pipe 7 in a vertical posture;

[0050] 6. Discharge and transfer stage: The screen nails are sent to the downstream equipment through the discharge conduit 7.

[0051] In operation, the randomly stacked screen nails are oriented and arranged in the feeding hopper 1 by the screen nail sorting plate 2, and orderly pass through the horizontal feeding guide channel 31. They are then guided by the feeding guide plate 2 to the nail receiving port of the nail separator 4. The nail separator 4 pushes the screen nails horizontally to the discharge port 44. Five sets of receiving devices 6 are configured at the bottom of the distribution plate 5, and a cylinder-driven mechanism feeds the screen nails into the corresponding discharge guide pipes 7, achieving uniform and reliable distribution from single-path feeding to five-path discharge. This invention effectively overcomes the problems of complex structure, easy nail jamming, difficult maintenance, and low nail separation efficiency of traditional distribution methods in multi-path applications, significantly improving the material distribution efficiency and operational reliability of automated production systems.

[0052] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
