[0027] Directions:

[0028] With the help of the vibrating plate, the long-tail clip is placed sideways into the rectangular feed hole 42. In the initial position, the telescopic end of the material-blocking cylinder 13 is in an outwardly extended state, and the end of the material-blocking plate 14 extends into the groove 45. The long-tail clip in the rectangular feed hole 42 is blocked by the material-blocking plate 14 and cannot continue to fall; then the telescopic end of the material-moving cylinder 6 is driven to extend outward to drive the material-moving strip 7 to move to the left, until the left end of the material-moving strip 7 abuts against the column 3, and the rectangular storage hole 71 is now located directly below the rectangular feed hole 42; the telescopic end of the material-moving cylinder 13 is driven to retract inwardly to drive the material-moving plate 14 to move to the left in the same way, and when the end of the material-moving plate 14 completely leaves the column 3, the long-tail clip is blocked by the material-moving plate 14 and cannot continue to fall. After the long tail clip is inserted, it will fall into the rectangular storage hole 71, but because the material moving bar 7 is located in the rectangular guide hole 41, the long tail clip located in the rectangular storage hole 71 will be blocked by the lower inner wall of the rectangular guide hole 41 and stay in the rectangular storage hole 71; then, the telescopic end of the material moving cylinder 6 is driven to retract inward to drive the material moving bar 7 to move to the right in the same way, until the rectangular storage hole 71 is located directly below the rectangular pressing hole 43; thereafter, it is also necessary to drive the telescopic end of the locking cylinder 23 to extend outward to drive the locking column 24 to move upward and pass through the locking through hole 46, and finally insert it into the locking countersunk hole 72, thereby locking the material moving bar 7 to prevent it from shifting.

[0029] Prior to this, the loading strip 12 is placed horizontally into the guide groove 111 and its front end is attached to the rear side of the push block 25. At this time, a positioning notch 121 on the rear side is located directly below the rectangular pressing hole 43, and the openings at both ends of a sensing through hole 122 on the rear side are respectively opposite to the limiting through hole 114 and the sensing end of the position sensor 18. When the position sensor 18 automatically senses the conical limiting head 17 through the sensing through hole 122, the telescopic end of the limiting cylinder 16 will be driven to extend outward to drive the conical limiting head 17 to move to the left and insert into the right end opening of the sensing through hole 122, thereby locking the loading strip 12 to prevent it from moving.

[0030] First, the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 22 is driven to extend outward or retract inward to drive the lifting plate 21 to move downward or upward along the two sliding columns 20, and then the lifting plate 21 is adjusted to a suitable height. Then, the telescopic end of the pressing cylinder 8 is driven to extend outward to drive the rectangular pressing column 9 to move downward along the rectangular pressing hole 43 and enter the rectangular storage hole 71, and then the binder clip is pressed downward into a positioning notch 121 on the rear side. Both sides of the opening of the binder clip extend to the outside of the left side of the positioning notch 121 and are pressed against each other under the pressure of the opening of the positioning notch 121.

[0031] The telescopic end of the material pressing cylinder 8 is driven to retract inwardly so as to drive the rectangular material pressing column 9 to move upward and reset until the end of the rectangular material pressing column 9 is higher than the upper side of the material moving strip 7, and then the telescopic end of the material moving cylinder 6 is driven to extend outwardly so as to drive the material moving strip 7 to move to the left in the same way until the rectangular storage hole 71 is located directly below the rectangular feed hole 42 to prepare for receiving the next long tail clip; at the same time, the telescopic end of the limit cylinder 16 is driven to retract inwardly so as to drive the conical limit head 17 to move to the right in the same way until it completely leaves the sensing through hole 122, and then the moving end of the rodless cylinder 15 is driven to move backward so as to push the loading strip 12 backward with the help of the push block 25 until the position sensor 18 automatically passes through the second sensing through hole counted from the back to the front. 122 senses the conical limit head 17, and then drives the telescopic end of the limit cylinder 16 to extend outward to drive the conical limit head 17 to move to the left in the same way until it is inserted into the right end opening of the second sensing through hole 122 counted from the back to the front to lock the loading strip 12 again. At this time, the second positioning notch 121 counted from the back to the front is located directly below the rectangular pressing hole 43 to prepare for inserting the second long tail clip, thereby forming a cycle. When a long tail clip is pressed into each positioning notch 121 in the loading strip 12, the loading strip 12 is taken out backwards and an empty loading strip 12 is replaced; finally, the loading strip 12 equipped with the long tail clip can be sent to the heat treatment equipment for processing.

[0032] The utility model can automatically press the binder clip into the material loading strip 12, and the feeding and movement of the binder clip do not require manual labor, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs, thereby reducing production costs.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
