Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery terminal assembly technology, specifically to an automatic assembly device for railway battery terminals. Background Technology
[0002] As a core power supply guarantee device in the railway transportation field, railway batteries are widely used in critical scenarios such as locomotive starting, train auxiliary system operation, power supply for signal and communication equipment, and backup power for monitoring systems. During the installation of railway battery terminals, bolts and nuts are used for rigid fixing to ensure connection reliability. However, considering that railway vehicles will generate continuous high-frequency vibrations during operation, anti-vibration and anti-loosening spring washers need to be used in the bolt fixing process to enhance the anti-loosening effect, such as butterfly spring washers and saddle spring washers. During the installation of butterfly spring washers, there is a phenomenon of incorrect installation direction of butterfly spring washers, which will cause the spring washers to fail and thus fail to play a fastening role. Because the difference between the front and back of the butterfly-shaped spring pad is small, the high-frequency vibration and slot screening method is inefficient. If no qualified butterfly-shaped spring pad enters the guide slot for a long time, the subsequent bolts may be loaded with empty spring pads, reducing the installation qualification rate. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, the flipping assembly includes a limiting block one fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side channel, and a limiting block two fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side channel. Among them, limit block one and limit block two have irregular shapes.
[0010] Preferably, the blocking component includes a sliding groove formed on the outer wall of the main channel, a sliding block slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, a spring fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding block, and the side of the spring away from the side channel being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main channel. The sliding groove runs through the outer walls of the main channel and the side channel. The two sides of the sliding block are arc-shaped. The spring is initially in a free state. In the initial state, the sliding block extends into the side channel, but does not extend into the main channel.
[0011] Preferably, the lever assembly includes a bracket fixedly connected to the bottom of the main channel, a rotating plate rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bracket, and a spring piece fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plate near the main channel; The spring is located between the main channel and the rotating plate, and is located on the right side of the bracket.
[0012] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes a sliding plate one rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating plate, a sliding plate two rotatably connected to the side of the rotating plate away from the sliding plate one, the outer wall of the sliding plate one being slidably connected to the inner wall of the main channel, and the outer wall of the sliding plate two being slidably connected to the inner wall of the main channel. Among them, the distance between sliding plate one and the bracket is greater than the distance between sliding plate two and the bracket, and both sliding plate one and sliding plate two pass through the main channel.
[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) When the present invention uses a vibrating plate to transport the butterfly-shaped spring pads to the main channel, the butterfly-shaped spring pads at the outlet of the vibrating plate are arranged in sequence, and the butterfly-shaped spring pads entering the main channel from the vibrating plate are also arranged in sequence. The unclassified butterfly-shaped spring pads contact the limiting block first. Since the subsequent butterfly-shaped spring pads enter in sequence, the next spring pad will push the previous spring pad to move towards the limiting plate. When the butterfly-shaped spring pad contacts the limiting block, since the adapting groove is set in a trapezoidal shape with the short side on top and the long side on the bottom, it can adapt to the shape of the butterfly-shaped spring pad with the convex side facing upward. Therefore, the butterfly-shaped spring pad with the convex side facing upward will pass through the adapting groove. When the butterfly-shaped spring pad with the convex side facing downward, it cannot pass through the adapting groove. Since the limiting block is set with an arc surface, the butterfly-shaped spring pad blocked by the limiting block will be pushed by the subsequent butterfly-shaped spring pads entering, and enter the side channel from the main channel along the arc surface of the limiting block. That is, the butterfly-shaped spring pad with the convex side facing upward passes through the adapting groove and moves along the arc surface of the limiting block. Figure 7 As shown, it moves in the F direction, while the convex-facing butterfly-shaped spring pad moves along the direction shown. Figure 7 As shown, it moves in the direction of E, and when the butterfly-shaped spring pad enters the side channel and continues along... Figure 7 When moving forward in direction E as shown, the butterfly-shaped spring pad will first contact the limiting block two. Since the convex surface of the butterfly-shaped spring pad on the side channel faces downward, at this time, the butterfly-shaped spring pad will be pushed up by the limiting block two, from where... Figure 8 The state H shown changes to state I. In state I, the butterfly-shaped spring pad is lifted towards the second limiting block. As the height of the second limiting block gradually increases, the direction towards the second limiting block is lifted higher and higher under the push of the subsequent butterfly-shaped spring pad. When the butterfly-shaped spring pad is lifted to be perpendicular to the side channel, it contacts the first limiting block. At this point, the butterfly-shaped spring pad is moved from... Figure 8 The state I shown changes to state eight. Because the side of the limiting block one that contacts the limiting block two becomes increasingly wider and its height increasingly lower, the butterfly-shaped spring pad, pushed by the subsequent movement, no longer contacts the limiting block two. Figure 8 As shown, the butterfly-shaped spring pad changes from state J to state K. When the butterfly-shaped spring pad is continuously pushed, it will no longer be in contact with the limit block, thus moving from... Figure 8The K state shown changes to the L state, meaning the butterfly-shaped spring pad changes from the H state (convex side down) to the L state (convex side up) after being flipped by the first and second limiting blocks. The flipped butterfly-shaped spring pad ensures that... Figure 8 The L-state shown continues along the side channel as follows Figure 7 Move in the direction E as shown until entering the main channel. Through the application of the above components, the problems of butterfly spring pad failure caused by the opposite installation direction during the installation process are effectively reduced, thus failing to play a fastening role. Also, the problem of the vibratory plate being unable to enter the guide groove for a long time, resulting in the subsequent bolts being fitted with empty spring pads, thus reducing the installation qualification rate is reduced. (2) The present invention utilizes the point where the butterfly-shaped spring pad, after being flipped by the above-mentioned equipment, enters the main channel from the side channel. When the flipped butterfly-shaped spring pad is pushed by the subsequently entering butterfly-shaped spring pad, the butterfly-shaped spring pad contacts the sliding block extending into the side channel. At this time, the sliding block slides towards the main channel, and the spring changes from a free state to a compressed state. The sliding block extends into the main channel, thereby preventing the butterfly-shaped spring pad in the main channel from continuing to move towards the fixed platform. Since there is an inclined surface in the main channel between the sliding block and the fixed platform, the blocked butterfly-shaped spring pad is fixed. The butterfly-shaped spring pad that passes the sliding block on the main channel will slide along the inclined surface into the groove between the fixed platform and the limiting plate. At this time, the connection between the main channel and the side channel near the fixed platform is located at the connection point. This will create a gap. When the flipped butterfly-shaped spring pad in the side channel passes the sliding block, the sliding block will change from a compressed state to a free state. During the change, the butterfly-shaped spring pad has not yet detached from the sliding block. At this time, the elastic force generated by the spring pushes the sliding block to extend quickly towards the side channel, thereby giving the butterfly-shaped spring pad that has passed the sliding block an assist, allowing the butterfly-shaped spring pad that has passed the sliding block to quickly enter the main channel, thereby filling the gap created at the connection between the main channel and the side channel near the fixed platform. Through the application of the above components, the problem of butterfly-shaped spring pads in the side channel and the main channel getting stuck due to rough edges and accumulating in the main channel when the butterfly-shaped spring pad enters the main channel from the side channel is effectively reduced. (3) This invention utilizes the feature of the sliding block of the above-mentioned equipment to block the movement of the butterfly-shaped spring pad in the main channel. When the feeding speed is faster than the installation speed, the main channel and the side channel will be filled with butterfly-shaped spring pads. At this time, there will be a butterfly-shaped spring pad at the position of the sliding plate one. At this time, the butterfly-shaped spring pad will press the sliding plate one to move downward along the groove opened for the sliding plate one in the main channel. At this time, the rotating plate will rotate along the bracket, thereby causing the sliding plate two to move upward. The rotating plate will press the spring piece from the free state to the compressed state, accumulating potential energy. At this time, there will be a blockage between the vibrating plate and the feed port of the main channel by the sliding plate two, so that the butterfly-shaped spring pad in the vibrating plate cannot be fed into the main channel until the butterfly-shaped spring pad between the fixed table and the limiting plate is installed, such as Figure 10As shown, the butterfly-shaped spring pad located above the first sliding plate slides to the left along the slope on the main channel, thus creating an empty space on the left side of the first sliding plate. At this time, the spring releases potential energy, the first sliding plate slides upward, and the second sliding plate slides downward, opening the connection between the vibrating plate and the feed port of the main channel. The butterfly-shaped spring pad in the vibrating plate continues to push the butterfly-shaped spring pads in the main channel and the side channel towards the limiting plate. Through the application of the above components, the squeezing and accumulation of butterfly-shaped spring pads above the main channel and the side channel due to the continuous feeding of the vibrating plate when the feeding speed is faster than the installation speed is effectively reduced. (4) This invention utilizes the characteristic of the sliding plate 2 of the above-mentioned equipment sliding up and down. When a butterfly-shaped spring pad passes above the rotating plate, the sliding plate 1 moves downward, so the rotating plate rotates around the support and the sliding plate 2 rises. Since the sliding plate 2 exceeds the height of the main channel, it can only block one butterfly-shaped spring pad from passing through. At this time, the butterfly-shaped spring pad with a thickness of one layer of vibrating plate will be blocked, and the overlapping butterfly-shaped spring pads will continue to move towards the main channel feed inlet, so the stacked butterfly-shaped spring pads will be separated. When the sliding plate 2 slides down, the blocked butterfly-shaped spring pads enter the main channel feed inlet. When the sliding plate 2 rises and falls rapidly, there are stacked butterfly-shaped spring pads above the sliding plate 2. At this time, the bottom butterfly-shaped spring pads will be temporarily lifted, and the stacked butterfly-shaped spring pads above will oscillate briefly, so that the stacked butterfly-shaped spring pads will be separated and enter the main channel feed inlet in sequence. Through the application of the above components, the overlapping of butterfly-shaped spring pads during the conveying process is effectively reduced, which leads to the installation of multiple spring pads on one bolt when installing bolts and spring pads, resulting in the bolts not being able to be tightened or the service life not being reached after installation.

[0017] 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.
[0018] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-5 This invention relates to an automatic assembly device for railway battery terminals, comprising a machine base 13, a fixed platform 14 fixedly connected to the top of the machine base 13, a limit plate 15 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform 14, an installation cylinder 16 fixedly connected to the top of the machine base 13, and a vibratory feeder 17 disposed on the left side of the machine base 13. It also includes: Fixing mechanism 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of fixing platform 14; Flipping mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of movable component 11; The limiting mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable component 11. After the equipment is started, the vibrating plate 17 transports the butterfly washer to the groove between the fixed platform 14 and the limiting plate 15. The installation cylinder 16 is activated to assemble the bolt and the butterfly washer. Then, the bolt pushing mechanism pushes the assembled bolt and butterfly washer to the designated position.
[0019] Fixed mechanism 1 includes: The movable component 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed platform 14. Adaptive component 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of movable component 11; Among them, the adaptation component 12 is used to screen the butterfly-shaped spring pad with the convex side facing upward.
[0020] Flipping mechanism 2 includes: The flip component 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable component 11; The blocking component 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving component 11; The flipping component 21 is used to flip the butterfly gasket.
[0021] Limiting mechanism 3 includes: Lever assembly 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of movable assembly 11; Sliding component 32 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of lever component 31; The lever assembly 31 drives the sliding assembly 32 to move.
[0022] Example 2, please refer to Figures 5-11 The present invention is an automatic assembly device for railway battery terminals. Based on Example 1, the moving component 11 includes a main channel 111 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed platform 14, and a side channel 112 is provided on the outer wall of the main channel 111. Among them, the butterfly-shaped spring pad with the convex side facing upward enters the main channel 111, and the butterfly-shaped spring pad with the convex side facing downward enters the side channel 112.
[0023] The adaptation component 12 includes a limiting block 121 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main channel 111, and the outer wall of the limiting block 121 is provided with an adaptation groove 122; The side of the limiting block 121 away from the limiting plate 15 is set as arc-shaped, and the adapting groove 122 is trapezoidal. Under the action of the limiting block 121, the butterfly-shaped spring pad with the convex surface facing upward passes through the adapting groove 122, and the butterfly-shaped spring pad with the non-convex surface facing upward enters the side channel 112 under the action of the limiting block 121.
[0024] The flipping component 21 includes a limiting block 211 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side channel 112, and a limiting block 212 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side channel 112. Among them, limit block 1 211 and limit block 2 212 have irregular shapes.
[0025] The blocking component 22 includes a sliding groove 221 formed on the outer wall of the main channel 111. A sliding block 222 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 221. A spring 223 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding block 222. The side of the spring 223 away from the side channel 112 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main channel 111. The sliding groove 221 penetrates the outer wall of the main channel 111 and the side channel 112. The two sides of the sliding block 222 are arc-shaped. The spring 223 is initially in a free state. In the initial state, the sliding block 222 extends into the side channel 112, while the sliding block 222 does not extend into the main channel 111. When the vibrating plate 17 delivers the butterfly-shaped spring pads to the main channel 111, since the butterfly-shaped spring pads at the outlet of the vibrating plate 17 are arranged sequentially, the butterfly-shaped spring pads entering the main channel 111 from the vibrating plate 17 are also arranged sequentially. The unsorted butterfly-shaped spring pads contact the limiting block 121 first. Since the subsequent butterfly-shaped spring pads enter sequentially, the next spring pad will push the previous spring pad to move towards the limiting plate 15. When the butterfly-shaped spring pad contacts the limiting block 121, because the adapting groove 122 is set in a trapezoidal shape, and the trapezoidal shape... With the shorter side on top and the longer side on the bottom, the butterfly-shaped spring pad can accommodate the shape of its convex side facing upwards. Therefore, the butterfly-shaped spring pad with its convex side facing upwards will pass through the adaptation groove 122. When the convex side of the butterfly-shaped spring pad is facing downwards, it cannot pass through the adaptation groove 122. Because the limiting block 121 is provided with an arc-shaped surface, the butterfly-shaped spring pad blocked by the limiting block 121 will be pushed by the subsequently entering butterfly-shaped spring pad, thus entering the side channel 112 from the main channel 111 along the arc surface of the limiting block 121. That is, the butterfly-shaped spring pad with its convex side facing upwards passes through the adaptation groove 122 and follows the curve of the limiting block 121. Figure 7 As shown, it moves in the F direction, and the convex-facing butterfly-shaped spring pad will move as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the butterfly-shaped spring pad moves in the direction of E, and continues along the path shown. Figure 7 When moving forward in direction E, the butterfly-shaped spring pad will first contact the limiting block 212. Since the convex surface of the butterfly-shaped spring pad on the side channel 112 is downward, at this time, the butterfly-shaped spring pad will be pushed up by the limiting block 212, from where... Figure 8 The state H shown changes to state I. In state I, the butterfly-shaped spring pad is lifted towards the direction of the second limiting block 212. As the height of the second limiting block 212 gradually increases, under the push of the subsequent butterfly-shaped spring pad, the direction of the second limiting block 212 towards the first limiting block 212 is lifted higher and higher. When the butterfly-shaped spring pad is lifted to be perpendicular to the side channel 112, the butterfly-shaped spring pad contacts the first limiting block 211. At this time, the butterfly-shaped spring pad is moved from the direction shown in the image. Figure 8 The state I shown changes to state J. Because the side of the limiting block 1 211 that contacts the limiting block 2 212 becomes increasingly wider and its height increasingly lower, the butterfly-shaped spring pad, under the subsequent push of the spring pad, does not contact the limiting block 2 212. Figure 8 As shown, the butterfly-shaped spring pad changes from state J to state K. When the butterfly-shaped spring pad is continuously pushed, it will no longer be in contact with the limit block 211, thus moving from... Figure 8 The K state shown changes to the L state, meaning the butterfly-shaped spring pad changes from the H state (convex side down) to the L state (convex side up) after being flipped by the first limiting block 211 and the second limiting block 212. The flipped butterfly-shaped spring pad ensures that... Figure 8 The L state shown continues along side channel 112 as follows Figure 7 Move in the direction E as shown until entering the main channel 111.
[0026] The lever assembly 31 includes a bracket 311 fixedly connected to the bottom of the main channel 111, a rotating plate 312 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bracket 311, and a spring piece 313 fixedly connected to the side of the rotating plate 312 near the main channel 111. Among them, the spring piece 313 is located between the main channel 111 and the rotating plate 312, and the spring piece 313 is located on the right side of the bracket 311.
[0027] The sliding assembly 32 includes a sliding plate 321 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating plate 312, and a sliding plate 322 rotatably connected to the side of the rotating plate 312 away from the sliding plate 321. The outer wall of the sliding plate 321 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main channel 111, and the outer wall of the sliding plate 322 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main channel 111. Among them, the distance between sliding plate 321 and bracket 311 is greater than the distance between sliding plate 322 and bracket 311, and both sliding plate 321 and sliding plate 322 pass through the main channel 111; When the feeding speed is faster than the installation speed, the main channel 111 and the side channel 112 will be filled with butterfly-shaped spring pads. At this time, there will be butterfly-shaped spring pads at the position of sliding plate 321. These butterfly-shaped spring pads will press sliding plate 321 to move downwards along the groove opened for sliding plate 321 in the main channel 111. At this time, the rotating plate 312 will rotate along the bracket 311, thereby causing sliding plate 322 to move upwards. The rotating plate 312 will also press the spring piece 313 from a free state to a compressed state, accumulating potential energy. At this time, there will be sliding plate 322 blocking the feed inlet of the vibrating plate 17 and the main channel 111, so the butterfly-shaped spring pads in the vibrating plate 17 cannot be fed into the main channel 111 until the butterfly-shaped spring pads between the fixed table 14 and the limiting plate 15 are installed. Figure 10As shown, the butterfly-shaped spring pad located above the sliding plate 321 slides to the left along the inclined surface on the main channel 111, thus creating an empty space on the left side of the sliding plate 321. At this time, the spring piece 313 releases potential energy, the sliding plate 321 slides upward, and the sliding plate 322 slides downward, opening the connection between the vibrating plate 17 and the feed port of the main channel 111. The butterfly-shaped spring pad in the vibrating plate 17 continues to push the butterfly-shaped spring pads in the main channel 111 and the side channel 112 to move towards the limiting plate 15.
[0028] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: after the equipment is started, the vibrating plate 17 transports the butterfly washer to the groove between the fixed platform 14 and the limiting plate 15, the installation cylinder 16 is started, the bolt and the butterfly washer are assembled, and then the bolt pushing mechanism pushes the assembled bolt and butterfly washer to the designated position. When the vibrating plate 17 delivers the butterfly-shaped spring pads to the main channel 111, since the butterfly-shaped spring pads at the outlet of the vibrating plate 17 are arranged sequentially, the butterfly-shaped spring pads entering the main channel 111 from the vibrating plate 17 are also arranged sequentially. The unsorted butterfly-shaped spring pads contact the limiting block 121 first. Since the subsequent butterfly-shaped spring pads enter sequentially, the next spring pad will push the previous spring pad to move towards the limiting plate 15. When the butterfly-shaped spring pad contacts the limiting block 121, because the adapting groove 122 is set in a trapezoidal shape, and the trapezoidal shape... With the shorter side on top and the longer side on the bottom, the butterfly-shaped spring pad can accommodate the shape of its convex side facing upwards. Therefore, the butterfly-shaped spring pad with its convex side facing upwards will pass through the adaptation groove 122. When the convex side of the butterfly-shaped spring pad is facing downwards, it cannot pass through the adaptation groove 122. Because the limiting block 121 is provided with an arc-shaped surface, the butterfly-shaped spring pad blocked by the limiting block 121 will be pushed by the subsequently entering butterfly-shaped spring pad, thus entering the side channel 112 from the main channel 111 along the arc surface of the limiting block 121. That is, the butterfly-shaped spring pad with its convex side facing upwards passes through the adaptation groove 122 and follows the curve of the limiting block 121. Figure 7 As shown, it moves in the F direction, and the convex-facing butterfly-shaped spring pad will move as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the butterfly-shaped spring pad moves in the direction of E, and continues along the path shown. Figure 7 When moving forward in direction E, the butterfly-shaped spring pad will first contact the limiting block 212. Since the convex surface of the butterfly-shaped spring pad on the side channel 112 is downward, at this time, the butterfly-shaped spring pad will be pushed up by the limiting block 212, from where... Figure 8 The state H shown changes to state I. In state I, the butterfly-shaped spring pad is lifted towards the direction of the second limiting block 212. As the height of the second limiting block 212 gradually increases, under the push of the subsequent butterfly-shaped spring pad, the direction of the second limiting block 212 towards the first limiting block 212 is lifted higher and higher. When the butterfly-shaped spring pad is lifted to be perpendicular to the side channel 112, the butterfly-shaped spring pad contacts the first limiting block 211. At this time, the butterfly-shaped spring pad is moved from the direction shown in the image. Figure 8The state I shown changes to state J. Because the side of the limiting block 1 211 that contacts the limiting block 2 212 becomes increasingly wider and its height increasingly lower, the butterfly-shaped spring pad, under the subsequent push of the spring pad, does not contact the limiting block 2 212. Figure 8 As shown, the butterfly-shaped spring pad changes from state J to state K. When the butterfly-shaped spring pad is continuously pushed, it will no longer be in contact with the limit block 211, thus moving from... Figure 8 The K state shown changes to the L state, meaning the butterfly-shaped spring pad changes from the H state (convex side down) to the L state (convex side up) after being flipped by the first limiting block 211 and the second limiting block 212. The flipped butterfly-shaped spring pad ensures that... Figure 8 The L state shown continues along side channel 112 as follows Figure 7 The movement in direction E, as shown, until entering the main channel 111, effectively reduces the problem of the butterfly spring pad failing due to the opposite installation direction during the installation process, thus failing to play a fastening role, and the vibration plate 17 being unable to enter the guide groove for a long time, resulting in subsequent bolts being empty of spring pads, thus reducing the installation qualification rate. The butterfly-shaped spring pad, after being flipped using the aforementioned equipment, enters the main channel 111 from the side channel 112. When the flipped butterfly-shaped spring pad is pushed by a subsequently entering butterfly-shaped spring pad, it contacts the sliding block 222 extending into the side channel 112. At this time, the sliding block 222 slides towards the main channel 111, and the spring 223 changes from a free state to a compressed state. The sliding block 222 extends into the main channel 111, thus preventing the butterfly-shaped spring pad in the main channel 111 from continuing to move towards the fixed platform 14. Since there is an inclined surface in the main channel 111 between the sliding block 222 and the fixed platform 14, the blocked butterfly-shaped spring pad is fixed. The butterfly-shaped spring pad that passes over the sliding block 222 on the main channel 111 will slide autonomously along the inclined surface into the groove between the fixed platform 14 and the limiting plate 15. At this time, the main channel 111 and the side channel 112 are closer to the fixed platform 14. A gap will be generated at the connection port. When the flipped butterfly-shaped spring pad in the side channel 112 passes the sliding block 222, the sliding block 222 will change from a compressed state to a free state. During the change, the butterfly-shaped spring pad has not yet detached from the sliding block 222. At this time, the elastic force generated by the spring 223 pushes the sliding block 222 to extend quickly in the direction of the side channel 112, thereby giving the butterfly-shaped spring pad that has passed the sliding block 222 an assist, so that the butterfly-shaped spring pad that has passed the sliding block 222 can quickly enter the main channel 111, thereby filling the gap generated at the connection port of the main channel 111 and the side channel 112 near the fixed platform 14. This effectively reduces the problem of the butterfly-shaped spring pad in the side channel 112 and the butterfly-shaped spring pad in the main channel 111 getting stuck due to the rough edges when the butterfly-shaped spring pad enters the main channel 111 from the side channel 112, blocking the main channel 111 and causing accumulation. Utilizing the characteristic of the sliding block 222 of the aforementioned device to block the movement of the butterfly-shaped spring pads in the main channel 111, when the feeding speed is faster than the installation speed, the main channel 111 and the side channel 112 will be filled with butterfly-shaped spring pads. At this time, there will be a butterfly-shaped spring pad at the position of sliding plate 321. This butterfly-shaped spring pad will press sliding plate 321 to move downward along the groove opened for sliding plate 321 in the main channel 111. At this time, the rotating plate 312 will rotate along the bracket 311, thereby causing sliding plate 322 to move upward. The rotating plate 312 will also press the spring piece 313 from a free state to a compressed state, accumulating potential energy. At this time, there will be a blockage between the vibrating plate 17 and the feed inlet of the main channel 111 by sliding plate 322, so that the butterfly-shaped spring pads in the vibrating plate 17 cannot be fed into the main channel 111 until the butterfly-shaped spring pads between the fixed table 14 and the limiting plate 15 are installed. Figure 10 As shown, the butterfly-shaped spring pad located above the sliding plate 321 slides to the left along the inclined surface on the main channel 111, thus creating an empty space on the left side of the sliding plate 321. At this time, the spring piece 313 releases potential energy, the sliding plate 321 slides upward, and the sliding plate 322 slides downward, opening the connection between the vibrating plate 17 and the feed port of the main channel 111. The butterfly-shaped spring pad in the vibrating plate 17 continues to push the butterfly-shaped spring pads in the main channel 111 and the side channel 112 towards the limiting plate 15, effectively reducing the squeezing and accumulation of the butterfly-shaped spring pads above the main channel 111 and the side channel 112 due to the continuous feeding of the vibrating plate 17 when the feeding speed is faster than the installation speed. Utilizing the characteristic of the sliding plate 322 of the aforementioned device to slide up and down, when a butterfly-shaped spring pad passes above the rotating plate 312, the sliding plate 321 moves downward, causing the rotating plate 312 to rotate around the support 311. The sliding plate 322 rises, and since it exceeds the height of the main channel 111, it can only block one butterfly-shaped spring pad from passing. At this time, the layer of butterfly-shaped spring pads on the vibrating plate 17 will be blocked, while the overlapping butterfly-shaped spring pads will continue to move towards the feed inlet of the main channel 111, thus separating the stacked butterfly-shaped spring pads. When the sliding plate 322 slides down, it is blocked... The butterfly-shaped spring pads follow into the feed inlet of the main channel 111. When the sliding plate 322 rises and falls rapidly, there are stacked butterfly-shaped spring pads above the sliding plate 322. At this time, the bottom butterfly-shaped spring pads will be temporarily lifted, and the stacked butterfly-shaped spring pads above will vibrate briefly, thereby separating the stacked butterfly-shaped spring pads and entering the feed inlet of the main channel 111 in sequence. This effectively reduces the overlap of butterfly-shaped spring pads during the conveying process, which can lead to multiple spring pads being installed on one bolt when installing bolts and spring pads, resulting in bolts that cannot be tightened or not reaching their service life after installation.
