[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solution of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0025] Example

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 What is shown is the overall schematic diagram of the vertical shaft feeding device of the gas meter in the embodiment;

[0027] The device includes:

[0028] Mounting table 11;

[0029] An upper hopper 12, the upper hopper 12 is arranged on the mounting platform 11;

[0030] A positioning block 13, which is disposed on the mounting platform 11 and connected to the upper hopper 12;

[0031] A driving member 15, the driving member 15 is arranged at the top of the positioning block 13;

[0032] A loading piece 16, which is rotatably disposed on one side of the positioning block 13;

[0033] The vertical shafts 1 are temporarily stored in the upper hopper 12 and fall onto the positioning blocks 13 one by one. The vertical shafts 1 are transferred to the loading member 16 by the driving member 15. The loading member 16 rotates to change the placement direction of the vertical shaft 1.

[0034] The loading hopper 12 temporarily stores the conveyed vertical shafts 1 and transfers the vertical shafts 1 to the positioning block 13 one by one. The driving member 15 on the positioning block 13 pushes the vertical shaft 1 to the loading member 16. The loading member 16 rotates to make the vertical shaft 1 in a vertical state.

[0035] By providing the loading hopper 12, the positioning block 13, the driving member 15 and the loading member 16, the vertical shaft 1 can be loaded while automatically changing the placement state, which can better cooperate with the grasping of the robot arm, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the vertical shaft 1.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 The overall schematic diagram of the vertical shaft feeding device of the gas meter in the embodiment is shown. Figure 2 What is shown is a schematic diagram of the positional relationship between the top plate and the positioning block in the embodiment;

[0037] The inner bottom surface of the upper hopper 12 is inclined and the end close to the positioning block 13 is lower. The lowest end of the upper hopper 12 is set as a vertically movable top plate 14. When the top plate 14 rises to the highest point, it is connected with the positioning block 13. When the top plate 14 is at the lowest point, it is connected with the inner bottom surface of the upper hopper 12.

[0038] The positioning block 13 includes a positioning groove 131, and the positioning groove 131 is inclined at one end close to the top plate 14, and the highest point is not higher than the lowest height of the top plate 14;

[0039] The upper hopper 12 arranged at an angle on the inner bottom surface allows the vertical shaft 1 to gradually roll down from the far end to the top plate 14. The top end surface of the top plate 14 can only accommodate and temporarily retain one vertical shaft 1. When a vertical shaft 1 rolls down to the top of the top plate 14, the top plate 14 rises to connect with the positioning block 13. The positioning groove 131 of the positioning block 13 is arranged in a V shape and is lower than the top end surface of the top plate 14. Therefore, when the top plate 14 rises to connect with the positioning block 13, the vertical shaft 1 rolls down from the top end surface of the top plate 14 into the positioning groove 131.

[0040] When the top plate 14 is in the raised state, its bottom end is not higher than the inner bottom surface of the upper hopper 1; and a driving member 2 is provided on the mounting platform 11 below the top plate 14, and the output end of the driving member 2 is connected to the top plate 14 to drive the top plate 14 to move in the vertical direction. The driving member 2 can be a cylinder.

[0041] The driving member 15 is disposed at the top of the positioning block 13, and its output end can move along the length direction of the positioning slot 131 to push the vertical shaft 1 located in the positioning slot 131;

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 Shown is a schematic diagram of the feeding tube; Figure 4 The figure shows the position relationship between the positioning block and the feeding tube in the embodiment;

[0043] The loading member 16 is a tubular body with a plug hole 161, and the plug hole 161 is opened at one end close to the positioning block 13. The size of the plug hole 161 matches the vertical shaft 1, and the vertical shaft 1 can enter the plug hole 161;

[0044] When the vertical shaft 1 is transferred to the positioning groove 131 of the positioning block 13, the driving member 15 is turned on, and the output end of the driving member 15 pushes the vertical shaft 1 toward the direction close to the loading member 16 until the vertical shaft 1 is pushed into the insertion hole 161 of the loading member 16. The driving member 15 can be an electric push rod;

[0045] The loading member 16 is mounted on a turntable 17, and the turntable 17 is rotatably disposed on the mounting platform 11;

[0046] The loading piece 16 changes the placement direction of the vertical shaft 1 so that it matches the mechanical arm on which the vertical shaft 1 is installed; after the vertical shaft 1 is pushed into the insertion hole 161, the rotation of the turntable 17 drives the vertical shaft 1 to change its placement direction;

[0047] Specifically, a driving member 3 is provided on the mounting platform 11, and an output end of the driving member 3 is connected to the turntable 17, and the driving member 3 drives the turntable 17 and the feeding member 16 to rotate. The driving member 3 may be a motor.

[0048] Working principle: When the device is in use, the upper hopper 12 arranged obliquely on the inner bottom surface allows batches of vertical shafts 1 to gradually roll down from the far end to the top plate 14. When a single vertical shaft 1 rolls down to the top of the top plate 14, the top plate 14 rises to connect with the positioning block 13, and then the vertical shaft 1 rolls down from the top end surface of the top plate 14 to the positioning groove 131, and then the driving member 15 is turned on. The output end of the driving member 15 pushes the vertical shaft 1 in the direction close to the loading member 16 until the vertical shaft 1 is pushed into the socket 161 of the loading member 16, and then the rotation of the turntable 17 can drive the vertical shaft 1 to change its placement direction so that it can better cooperate with the grasping of the robot arm.

[0049] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it.
