For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the spring dispensing mechanism of the utility model comprises a mounting plate 10 , a feeding assembly 20 mounted on the mounting plate 10 , a detecting assembly 30 mounted on the mounting plate 10 , and a discharging assembly 40 mounted on the mounting plate 10 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the feed assembly 20 includes a guide block 21, on which a feed track 211 is vertically opened. The feed track 211 passes through from top to bottom, and the upper end of the feed track 211 is connected to the vibration plate 50 through a pipe fitting 51. The spring 60 in the vibration plate 50 enters the pipe fitting 51 through vibration and enters the feed track 211. At the same time, since the feed track 211 is vertically arranged, the feed track 211 plays a guiding role to ensure the vertical discharge of the spring 60.

[0048] In this embodiment, the detection component 30 includes a slide rail 31 fixed horizontally to the front end surface of the mounting plate 10, a movable block 32 slidably connected to the slide rail 31, a driving element 33 fixed to the front end surface of the mounting plate 10, and a photoelectric sensing element 34 arranged at the front and rear sides of the movable block 32. The driving element 33 in this embodiment is a cylinder, and the driving element 33 drives the movable block 32 to slide horizontally along the slide rail 31. Specifically, the movable block 32 is arranged below the guide block 21, and a vertically placed mounting hole 321 is provided through the movable block 32, a metal kit 322 is fixed in the mounting hole 321, and a detection hole 323 is opened on the outer side of the kit 322; the photoelectric sensing element 34 can sense whether there is a spring 60 in the kit 322 through the detection hole 323.

[0049] In this embodiment, the discharge assembly 40 includes a connecting member 41 fixed to the front end surface of the mounting plate 10, the connecting member 41 is arranged at the lower end of the movable block 32, and the connecting member 41 is provided with a vertically arranged discharge hole 411, wherein the discharge hole 411 is staggered with the discharge track.

[0050] When the spring 60 is being distributed, the spring 60 enters from the upper end of the feed track 211 and vertically slides down to the lower end of the feed track 211; the driving element 33 drives the movable block 32 to move, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting hole 321 on the movable block 32 is aligned with the feed track 211, and the spring 60 falls from the feed track 211 into the kit 322; the photoelectric sensing element 34 detects the spring 60 through the detection hole 323 and sends a start electrical signal to the driving element 33; the driving element 33 drives the movable block 32 to move, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the mounting hole 321 is aligned with the discharge hole 411, and the spring 60 is separated from the sleeve 322 under the action of gravity and discharged through the discharge hole 411. The spring 60 is divided by the above steps, and the photoelectric sensing element 34 is provided to improve the accuracy of the division.

[0051] Specifically, the feed assembly 20 also includes a swing arm 22 rotatably connected to the guide block 21, the swing arm 22 is connected to a baffle 23, and the side of the guide block 21 is provided with an opening 212 connected to the feed track 211. As shown in the figure, in a natural state, the swing arm 22 swings downward, driving the baffle through the opening 212 into the feed track 211 to resist the spring 60 in the feed track 211 to prevent the spring 60 from falling. Specifically, the feed assembly 20 also includes a connecting plate 24 fixed to the upper end of the mounting plate 10, and the guide plate is slidably connected to the front end surface of the connecting plate 24; a positioning block 11 is fixed to the front end surface of the mounting plate 10, and when the guide block 21 slides downward, the swing arm 22 will interfere with the positioning block 11, and the swing arm 22 will swing upward accordingly, so that the baffle is separated from the feed track 211, and the spring 60 can slide out of the feed track 211. A connecting block 25 is provided on the side of the guide block 21, and a bearing 26 rotatably connected thereto is provided at the lower end of the connecting block 25. The lower end surface of the bearing 26 is lower than the lower end surface of the guide block 21. The bearing 26 leaves a gap between the guide block 21 and the movable block 32 to prevent the guide block 21 from interfering with the movement of the movable block 32.

[0052] Specifically, a slider 35 is provided on the slide rail 31 and is slidably connected thereto. The slider 35 is arranged between the movable block 32 and the driving element 33. The slider 35 is fixedly connected to the transmission end of the driving element 33. A push block 36 is fixedly provided on the slider 35. One end of the push block 36 away from the driving element 33 abuts against the movable block 32. The push block 36 and the slider 35 play a transmission role, thereby increasing the distance between the movable block 32 and the driving element 33.

[0053] Specifically, a limit piece 12 is fixedly provided on the front end surface of the mounting plate 10, and the limit piece 12 is used to limit the sliding stroke of the movable block 32; specifically, when the movable block 32 moves to abut against the limit piece 12, the mounting hole 321 on the movable block 32 will be aligned with the feed track 211 of the guide block 21.

[0054] Specifically, the driving element 33 is fixed to one end of the slide rail 31, and a buffer 13 is fixed to the other end of the slide rail 31. The buffer 13 is aligned with the movable block 32; the movable block 32 moves to one end of the buffer 13 and contacts with the buffer 13, playing a buffering role to prevent the movable block 32 from slipping out and being damaged by collision.

[0055] Specifically, a gas nozzle 42 is provided just above the discharge hole 411, and a gas pipe joint 43 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the gas nozzle 42, and the gas pipe joint 43 is used to connect with an air pump, and the gas nozzle 42 sprays high-pressure gas toward the discharge hole 411 to ensure smooth discharge of the spring 60. At the same time, a discharge joint 44 is provided in the discharge hole 411, and the discharge joint 44 is used to connect a hose, and the hose transfers the spring 60 to the next processing station.

[0056] Specifically, the photoelectric sensing element 34 includes an aligned first sensing member 341 and a second sensing member 342; a first connecting frame 45 is fixedly provided on the front end surface of the connecting member 41, and the first sensing member 341 is fixed on the first connecting frame 45; a second connecting frame 14 is fixedly provided on the mounting plate 10, and the second sensing member 342 is fixed on the second connecting frame 14.

[0057] Compared with the prior art, the spring dividing mechanism involved in the utility model includes a feeding component, a detection component and a discharging component. The spring passes through the above components in turn for automatic dividing, thereby improving the dividing efficiency; specifically, the feeding component includes a feeding track, which plays a guiding role so that the spring enters the detection component vertically; the detection component includes a movable block and a photoelectric sensing element, which is used to sense whether the spring enters the movable block, thereby improving the dividing accuracy; at the same time, a kit is provided on the movable block, which can only accommodate one spring, thereby achieving the purpose of dividing; after completing the detection, the movable block moves to the discharging component, and when the kit is aligned with the discharging hole, the discharging is completed, thereby ensuring the dividing accuracy.

[0058] The above only expresses the preferred technical solution of the utility model, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and the utility model is also intended to include these modifications and modifications.
