Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lighter assembly technology, specifically a lighter parts sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] As a common ignition tool, a lighter contains a variety of precision components, such as the ignition device, gas valve assembly, and casing. During the manufacturing process, the dimensional accuracy and quality consistency of these components directly affect the lighter's performance and safety. Therefore, on lighter component production lines, components typically need to be screened to distinguish between qualified and unqualified products, and then further categorized for storage or rework.

[0003] Existing methods for sorting lighter parts mainly rely on manual inspection or simple mechanical screening devices. Manual inspection is inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to misjudgment due to subjective factors. Traditional mechanical screening devices typically use vibratory feeders or conveyor belts with a single inspection station, resulting in poor sorting accuracy and flexibility, making it difficult to meet the needs of multi-specification, high-precision sorting. Furthermore, existing equipment is prone to problems such as jamming, missed inspections, or duplicate inspections during the loading and unloading process, affecting production efficiency and product quality.

[0004] In order to improve screening efficiency and accuracy, some automated equipment adopts a dividing plate structure to realize multi-station synchronous operation. However, the existing dividing plate screening device still has the following problems: (1) The loading and unloading mechanism and the dividing plate are not precise enough, which can easily lead to poor transmission of parts or positioning deviation; (2) There is a lack of efficient limiting and diversion mechanisms, making it difficult to realize multi-channel classification and unloading; (3) The layout of the detection station and the detection method are simple, making it impossible to fully evaluate the quality of parts.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-efficiency, stable and adaptable lighter parts sieving device to solve the problems of low sieving efficiency, insufficient accuracy and low degree of automation in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[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] Example 1

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 A lighter parts sorting device, comprising: Indexing plate 1, the indexing plate 1 is provided with several sets of operating stations arranged in a ring array, the operating stations include a set of loading stations 101 and several sets of inspection stations 102 and unloading stations 103, and the loading station 101 and the unloading station 103 are all equipped with guide feeding racks 81. Positioning component 2 is assembled onto the movable part of indexing plate 1 and is evenly distributed in a circular array. The number of positioning components 2 and operating stations is equal. The guide feeder 81 can dock with the positioning component 2 and transfer lighter parts. Limiting component 3 is assembled to the outer end of positioning component 2 and is used to adjust the switching posture of positioning component 2. The feeding component 4 and the unloading component 5 are assembled at the guide feeding rack 81 set on the periphery of the feeding station 101. The feeding component 4 is used to transfer the lighter parts conveyed on the guide feeding rack 81 to the positioning component 2. The unloading component 5 is matched with the positioning component 2 and is used to send the lighter parts out of the positioning component 2. The feeding component 4 and the unloading component 5 are linked with the limiting component 3. The flow divider drive assembly 6 is assembled onto the movable part of the indexing plate 1, and each set of feeding assemblies 5 is poweredly connected to the flow divider drive assembly 6.

[0033] The movable part of the indexing plate 1 can operate intermittently at a specific angle, so that the positioning component 2 mounted on it passes through the loading station 101, the inspection station 102, and the unloading station 103 in sequence, so as to realize the loading, inspection and unloading operations of lighter parts.

[0034] Specifically, the guide feeder 81 at the loading station 101 is used to transfer lighter parts. After the empty positioning component 2 runs to the loading station 101, the loading component 4 is first controlled to move to transfer the lighter parts to the positioning component 2. During this process, the loading component 4 can first trigger the limit component 3 to be in the open position, thereby ensuring the stable transfer of the lighter parts to the positioning component 2. After the loading operation is completed, during the reset process of the loading component 4, the limit component 3 can automatically reset to close the positioning component 2 and effectively limit the loaded lighter parts.

[0035] Afterwards, the positioning component 2, which is loaded with lighter parts, is transferred to the inspection station 102 by the indexing plate 1. The inspection equipment set at the inspection station 102 completes the inspection of quality and size. Based on the information obtained from the inspection, the lighter parts are controlled to be unloaded from the specific unloading station 103.

[0036] The unloading station 103 is equipped with multiple sets, which are used to unload and transport qualified products, unqualified products and other categories of lighter parts. When the inspected lighter parts are moved to the corresponding unloading station 103 for unloading, the unloading component 5 is controlled to push the lighter parts in the positioning component 2 to the outer end. During this process, the unloading component 5 will first trigger the operation of the limit component 3. After the limit component 3 opens the positioning component 2, the lighter parts are pushed outward and enter the matching guide feeding rack 81 for outward transmission.

[0037] The shunt drive component 6 is used to control the operating posture of each group of feeding components 5. It can connect power to the corresponding feeding component 5 according to whether each group of feeding components 5 is running, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling multiple groups of feeding components 5 to adapt to each other with a single power source.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 To ensure that the indexing plate 1 can be stably assembled and operate intermittently at the set operating angle, the following technical solution is provided.

[0040] The indexing plate 1 includes a mounting base 11, a rotating plate 12, and a drive motor A13. A mounting shaft 121 is fixedly connected to the axis of the rotating plate 12. The mounting shaft 121 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 11. The drive motor A13 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 11, and a drive bevel gear A131 is fixedly connected to its output shaft. A transmission bevel gear A122, which is powered by the drive bevel gear A131, is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 121. The positioning component 2 and the diversion drive component 6 are both assembled on the rotating plate 12.

[0041] The mounting base 11 ensures that the rotating disk 12 and the drive motor A13 are stably mounted on it. When the drive motor A13 is running, it can drive the mounting shaft 121, the rotating disk 12, and the positioning component 2 and the diversion drive component 6 mounted on the rotating disk 12 to operate synchronously and stably through the drive bevel gear A131 and the transmission bevel gear A122.

[0042] To ensure that the positioning component 2 can be stably assembled on the rotating disk 12 and used to receive and position lighter parts, and to prevent the lighter parts transported in the guide feeder 81 from falling off when they are not docked with the positioning component 2, the following technical solution is provided.

[0043] The positioning component 2 includes a connecting bracket 21 and a guide storage rack 22. The connecting bracket 21 is fixedly installed on the rotating disk 12, and the guide storage rack 22 is fixedly installed on the connecting bracket 21 and distributed radially. A blocking plate 221 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the guide storage rack 22, and an annular baffle 123 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the rotating disk 12. A connecting port 124 for arranging the guide storage rack 22 is provided on the annular baffle 123. The guide feeding rack 81 is in close contact with the outer wall of the annular baffle 123 and can be docked with the guide storage rack 22.

[0044] The connecting bracket 21 ensures that the guide feed rack is stably assembled at a specific height of the rotating disk 12 and docks with the guide feed rack 81 to achieve stable transmission of lighter parts between the two. The blocking plate 221 prevents lighter parts from slipping off the inner end of the guide feed rack.

[0045] A connecting bracket 82 is fixed on the periphery of the guide feeding frame 81. The connecting bracket 82 can be fixedly installed on other fixed components to achieve stable installation of the guide feeding frame 81.

[0046] When the rotating disk 12 drives the positioning component 2 to operate, when the guide storage rack 22 and the guide feeding rack 81 are not in a docking state, the annular baffle 123 can block the port of the guide feeding rack 81 to prevent the lighter parts on it from sliding off the port of the guide feeding rack 81.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 To ensure that the limit component 3 can be stably assembled on the positioning component 2 and to effectively adjust the switching posture of the positioning component 2, the following technical solution is provided.

[0049] The limiting component 3 includes a mounting bracket 31, a lifting bracket 32, a partition 33, a return spring 34, and top rods A35 and B36 arranged vertically. The mounting bracket 31 is fixedly installed on the connecting bracket 21. The lifting bracket 32 ​​is slidably installed on the mounting bracket 31 and moves up and down in the vertical direction. The partition 33 is fixedly connected to the lifting bracket 32 ​​and arranged on the outer end of the guide storage rack 22. The two ends of the return spring 34 are respectively in contact with the lifting bracket 32 ​​and the mounting bracket 31. Top rods A35 and B36 are both fixedly connected to the lifting bracket 32 ​​and are respectively linked with the feeding component 4 and the unloading component 5.

[0050] The mounting bracket 31 ensures that the lifting bracket 32 ​​is stably assembled in the vertical direction. When the feeding assembly 4 transports the lighter parts to the guide storage rack 22, it first triggers the top rod A35, lifting the lifting bracket 32 ​​and its mounted components upwards, thus opening the partition 33. Similarly, when the unloading assembly 5 transports the lighter parts to the guide feeding rack 81, it first triggers the top rod B36, lifting the lifting bracket 32 ​​upwards, thus opening the partition 33.

[0051] During the reset process of the feeding component 4 and the unloading component 5, the lifting bracket 32 ​​can automatically move downward under the action of the reset spring 34, thereby causing the partition 33 to return to the closed position.

[0052] To ensure the stable assembly of the feeding component 4 and to enable the conveying of lighter parts to the guide feeding rack 81 at the feeding station 101, the following technical solution is provided.

[0053] The feeding assembly 4 includes a guide bracket 41, a mounting plate 42, a telescopic cylinder 43, a wedge block 44, and a top seat 45. A guide rod 46 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 42 and is slidably inserted into the guide bracket 41. The telescopic cylinder 43 is fixedly installed on the guide bracket 41 and its movable end is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 42. The wedge block 44 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 42 and arranged at the bottom gap of the guide feeding frame 81. The top seat 45 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 42 and is coaxially arranged with the top rod A35.

[0054] The guide bracket 41 can be fixedly installed on the mounting base 11 in the indexing plate 1. In cooperation with the guide rod 46, the mounting pad 42 can move stably up and down in the vertical direction. When the telescopic cylinder 43 is working, it can drive the mounting pad 42 and the wedge block 44 and the top seat 45 fixed on it to rise synchronously. Before the wedge block 44 enters the guide feeding rack 81, the top seat 45 is in contact with the top rod A35 in advance. During the gradual rise, the top seat 45 can push the top rod A35 and the lifting bracket 32 ​​upward in advance, so that the partition 33 is in an open position. During the extension operation of the telescopic cylinder 43, the wedge block 44 enters the guide feeding rack 81 and abuts against the lighter accessories at the port position. Due to the design of its wedge surface, it can push the lighter accessories into the docked guide storage rack 22 to realize the feeding operation.

[0055] During the retraction and reset process of the telescopic cylinder 43, since the top seat 45 cancels its supporting function on the top rod A35, the lifting bracket 32 ​​can automatically descend under the action of the reset spring 34, and the partition 33 re-seals and closes the positioning component 2.

[0056] To ensure that the feeding assembly 5 can be stably assembled on the positioning assembly 2 and to achieve stable feeding of lighter parts into the guide storage rack 22, the following technical solution is provided.

[0057] The feeding assembly 5 includes a sliding bracket 51, a push rod 52, a connecting rod A53, a connecting rod B54, and a support rod 55. The sliding bracket 51 is slidably mounted on the rotating disk 12 and runs radially. The push rod 52 and the connecting rod A53 are both fixed to the sliding bracket 51 and arranged horizontally. A guide sleeve 222 is fixed to the side wall of the blocking plate 221 and is slidably inserted with the push rod 52. The support rod 55 is slidably arranged in the vertical direction and is coaxial with the top rod B36. The two ends of the connecting rod B54 are hinged to the connecting rod A53 and the connecting rod B54, respectively.

[0058] A radially distributed guide groove 125 is provided on the rotating disk 12, and the sliding bracket 51 is slidably installed in the guide groove 125 so as to realize the stable operation of the sliding bracket 51 and the push rod 52 and connecting rod A53 mounted thereon along the guide groove 125. The support rod 55 is slidably installed on the mounting bracket 31 and the connecting bracket 21.

[0059] As the sliding bracket 51 slides outward, the connecting rod A53 pushes the support rod 55 upward via the connecting rod B54. The support rod 55 then abuts against the top rod B36, causing the lifting bracket 32 ​​to move upward. At this time, the partition 33 is in an open position to facilitate the output of lighter parts from the outer end of the guide storage rack 22. Subsequently, as the sliding bracket 51 moves further, the push rod 52 slides from the guide sleeve 222 into the guide storage rack 22, pushing the lighter parts outward into the docking guide feeding rack 81.

[0060] During the resetting process of the unloading assembly 5, the support rod 55 cancels its supporting function on the top rod B36. At this time, the lifting bracket 32 ​​descends again under the action of the reset spring 34, and then the partition plate 33 re-seals the outer end of the guide storage rack 22.

[0061] Example 4

[0062] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 7-10 To ensure that the diversion drive component 6 can be stably assembled on the indexing plate 1 and realize the diversion power transmission with the unloading component 5, thereby driving the corresponding unloading component 5 to operate stably, the following technical solution is provided.

[0063] The diversion drive assembly 6 includes a drive motor B61, a transmission bevel gear B62, a clutch assembly 63, and an adjusting screw 64. The transmission bevel gear B62 is rotatably mounted to the axis of the rotating disk 12. The drive motor B61 is fixedly mounted on the rotating disk 12 and maintains a power connection with the transmission bevel gear B62. The sliding bracket 51 in each set of feeding assemblies 5 is screwed with an adjusting screw 64. The adjusting screw 64 is rotatably mounted on the rotating disk 12 and distributed radially. The clutch assembly 63 maintains a power connection with the adjusting screw 64 and the transmission bevel gear B62.

[0064] A drive bevel gear B611 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor B61, which meshes with the transmission bevel gear B62. When the drive motor B61 is running, it can drive the transmission bevel gear B62 to run stably, thereby transmitting power to the clutch assembly 63. The clutch assembly 63 can control the transmission and disconnection of power, thereby controlling whether the corresponding adjusting screw 64 is powered. When the adjusting screw 64 is powered and running, it can drive the sliding bracket 51 to slide stably along the guide groove 125.

[0065] To ensure that the clutch assembly 63 can effectively control the transmission of power to the adjusting screw 64, the following technical solution is provided.

[0066] The clutch assembly 63 includes a coaxially arranged mounting sleeve 631, a rotating bevel gear 632, a locking disc 633, an end face gear 634, an assembly disc 635, and an annular electromagnet 636. The mounting sleeve 631 is fixedly mounted on the rotating disc 12. The rotating bevel gear 632 is engaged with the transmission bevel gear B62. The locking disc 633 is coaxially fixed to the rotating bevel gear 632 and rotatably mounted in the mounting sleeve 631. The end face gear 634 is inserted into the assembly disc 635 and runs axially. The locking disc 633 and the end face gear 634 are nested and locked. The assembly disc 635 is rotatably mounted in the mounting sleeve 631 and coaxially fixed to the adjusting screw 64. The annular electromagnet 636 is fixedly mounted in the mounting sleeve 631. Multiple sets of evenly distributed permanent magnets 637 are fixedly mounted on the end face gear 634 and arranged towards the annular electromagnet 636.

[0067] The assembly sleeve 631 ensures stable assembly of other components. By adjusting the direction of the input current to the annular electromagnet 636, its magnetic field direction can be changed, thereby generating an attractive or repulsive force on the permanent magnet 637. When an attractive force is generated, the permanent magnet 637 can drive the end face gear 634 to move towards the annular electromagnet 636. At this time, the end face gear 634 is separated from the locking plate 633, and the power of the transmission bevel gear path B cannot be transmitted to the assembly plate 635 through the rotating bevel gear 632 and the locking plate 633. When a repulsive force is generated, the permanent magnet 637 can drive the end face gear 634 to move the annular electromagnet 636. At this time, the end face gear 634 and the locking plate 633 are nested and locked. The power received by the rotating bevel gear 632 can be transmitted to the adjusting screw 64 through the locking plate 633, the end face gear 634, and the assembly plate 635, and then the adjusting screw 64 drives the sliding bracket 51 to operate stably.

[0068] Example 5

[0069] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 To ensure that the lighter parts in the positioning component 2 can be effectively tested when they run to the testing station 102, the following technical solution is provided.
