[0038] In the related art, such as the "A Split Nut" disclosed as CN216131219U, it includes a male nut 1 and a female nut 2 connected to each other by mortise and tenon joints. The inner wall of the male nut 1 is provided with a male thread groove, and the inner wall of the female nut 2 is provided with a female thread groove for forming a complete thread groove with the male thread groove. In its actual production, in order to reduce the mold cost and production cost, these two different semicircular nuts are opened in a set of molds such as Figure 1 shown.

[0039] The embodiment of the present application discloses an automatic packaging device for HALF type nuts.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The automatic dispensing equipment for HALF type nuts includes a machine body 4, on which a clamping mechanism 5 and a driving mechanism 9 are arranged. The clamping mechanism 5 is used to clamp the top rod 3 of the HALF type nut, and the driving mechanism 9 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 5 to move. A knocking plate 6 is arranged on one side of the machine body 4, and the driving mechanism 9 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 5 to drive the HALF type nut from the outside of the machine body 4 to the inside of the machine body 4 so that the male end nut 1 contacts the knocking plate 6 and the male end nut 1 falls off. A male end collecting structure 7 is arranged on the side of the machine body 4 close to the knocking plate 6, and a female end collecting structure 8 is arranged on the side of the knocking plate 6 away from the machine body 4.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 5 adopts a manipulator 51, which is arranged at the top of the body 4 near the outside of the knocking plate 6, wherein the clamping end of the manipulator 51 is clamped at the top rod 3. At the same time, the driving mechanism 9 in this embodiment adopts a telescopic cylinder 91, which is horizontally arranged on the body 4. The telescopic cylinder 91 drives the manipulator 51 to reciprocate so that the male end nut 1 contacts the knocking plate 6, and after contact, the manipulator 51 continues to move toward the inside of the body 4, so that the male end nut 1 is bent along the end of the knocking plate 6 and falls off to the male end collection structure 7 for collection.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 The male end collecting structure 7 includes a second conveyor belt 71 arranged on the body 4, and the surface of the second conveyor belt 71 is lower than the top end of the knocking plate 6 to ensure that the male end nut 1 falls directly onto the second conveyor belt 71 during the falling process, and then the male end nut 1 is transported by the second conveyor belt 71 to complete the packaging of the male end nut 1, thereby effectively improving the packaging efficiency.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The female end collection mechanism includes a dividing plate 81 disposed on the side of the machine body 4 away from the second conveyor belt 71. The dividing plate 81 is disposed obliquely downward, and the upper end of the dividing plate 81 is in contact with the bottom of the knocking plate 6. A female end collection box 82 is disposed below the dividing plate 81. The female end collection box 82 is used to collect the female end nuts 2 that are loosened by the manipulator 51 and slide off the dividing plate 81. Specifically, after the male end nut 1 has completely fallen off, the manipulator 51 loosens the HALF type nut. At this time, only the female end nut 2 is left on the HALF type nut, which falls off the dividing plate 81 and moves obliquely downward along the dividing plate 81 to the female end collection box 82, completing the packing of the female end nuts 2.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 The device also includes a conveying structure 11, which is used to convey the filled female end collection box 82. The conveying structure 11 includes a first conveyor belt 111 arranged on one side of the female end collection box 82 and a support seat 112 arranged at the bottom of the female end collection box 82. A propulsion cylinder 113 is arranged on one side of the support seat 112 along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 111. The output end of the propulsion cylinder 113 abuts against one side of the female end collection box 82, and a connecting plate 114 is arranged between the support seat 112 and the first conveyor belt 111. The propulsion cylinder 113 is used to push the female end collection box 82 to be conveyed to the first conveyor belt 111 via the connecting plate 114, thereby completing the timely conveyance and transfer of the female end collection box 82.

[0045] Furthermore, in other embodiments, a material level sensor (not shown in the figure) may be provided at the top of the female end collection box 82, and the material level sensor may automatically sense the loading status of the material in the female end collection box 82, and the material level sensor may be electrically connected to the dragging cylinder through the control system. When the material level sensor senses that the material in the female end collection box 82 is fully loaded, the control system controls the propulsion cylinder 113 to work, and pushes the female end collection box 82 onto the first conveyor belt 111 for transportation.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, a buffer structure 10 may be provided at the bottom of the female end collection box 82. The buffer structure 10 provides buffering for the female end nut 2 during the falling process, thereby preventing the female end nut 2 from being damaged by collision during the falling process. Specifically, the buffer structure 10 may use a buffer sponge pad (not shown in the figure) to buffer the falling female end nut 2 using the buffer sponge.

[0047] Reference Figure 5The device further includes a carton placement structure 12, which is used to place the empty female end collection box 82 on the support seat 112.

[0048] By rotating the base 121 and cooperating with the lifting cylinder 122, the adsorption plate 124 is driven to move into the empty mother end collection box 82, and the suction cup 125 is controlled to adsorb the empty mother end collection box 82 on the adsorption plate 124. The rotating base 121 and the lifting cylinder 122 are controlled again to move the empty mother end collection box 82 to above the support seat 112, and the suction cup 125 is released to place the empty mother end collection box 82 on the support seat 112, which effectively improves the efficiency of the device and realizes automated collection and processing.

[0049] The implementation principle of the automatic dispensing equipment for HALF type nuts in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the telescopic cylinder 91 drives the manipulator 51 to reciprocate so that the male end nut 1 contacts the knock plate 6, and after contact, the manipulator 51 continues to move toward the inner side of the machine body 4, so that the male end nut 1 is bent along the end of the knock plate 6 and falls off to the second conveyor belt 71 for collection;

[0050] After the male end nut 1 falls off, the manipulator 51 is controlled to disengage the push rod 3, so that the female end nut 2 falls along the dividing plate 81 into the female end collection box 82, so as to collect the female end nut 2;

[0051] When the material level sensor senses that the material in the female end collecting box 82 is full, the control system controls the propulsion cylinder 113 to work, and pushes the female end collecting box 82 onto the first conveyor belt 111 for transportation;

[0052] The adsorption plate 124 is driven to move into the empty mother end collection box 82 by the rotating base 121 in cooperation with the lifting cylinder 122, and the suction cup 125 is controlled to adsorb the empty mother end collection box 82 onto the adsorption plate 124. The rotating base 121 and the lifting cylinder 122 are controlled again to move the empty mother end collection box 82 to above the support seat 112, and the suction cup 125 is released to place the empty mother end collection box 82 on the support seat 112.

[0053] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
