A screw feeding channel is opened on the fixed block, and the screw feeding channel extends outside the machine body. The moving plate moves on the fixed block. The movable end of the driving mechanism is connected to the moving plate. An inlet for allowing screws to enter is opened on one side of the upper surface of the machine body. The inlet is vertically corresponding and communicated with the screw feeding channel. An inclined guiding port is opened on one side of the moving plate, and a feeding port for allowing screws to fall is opened inside the guiding port.

[0025] Embodiment

[0026] This embodiment provides a nail feeding mechanism, including a machine body 10 and a switching mechanism 20. The switching mechanism 20 is installed inside the machine body 10. The switching mechanism 20 includes a fixed block 21, a moving plate 22, and a driving mechanism 23. The driving mechanism 23 is installed on one side of the machine body 10 and partially located inside the machine body 10. The driving mechanism 23 is a cylinder, and the piston end of the cylinder is located inside the machine body 10. The piston end of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the moving plate 22. The fixed block 21 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the machine body 10. A screw feeding channel 211 is formed on the fixed block 21, and the screw feeding channel 211 extends outside the machine body 10. The moving plate 22 moves on the fixed block 21.

[0027] At one side above the body 10, there is a feed inlet 11 allowing screws to enter. The feed inlet 11 corresponds to and is connected to the screw feeding channel 211 up and down. On one side of the moving plate 22, there is an inclined guiding port 24. Inside the guiding port 24, there is a feeding port 25 allowing screws to fall. The guiding port 24 cooperates with the feed inlet 11 in a staggered manner to fix the screws. When the feeding port 25 is aligned with the feed inlet 11, the screws are not restricted and fall into the screw feeding channel 211 from the feed inlet 11. On the inner bottom surface of the body 10, there is a discharge pipe 26 connected to the screw feeding channel 211, and finally discharged from the discharge pipe 26.

[0028] On one side of the body 10, there is a sliding groove 12. Part of the moving plate 22 slides in the sliding groove 12. The upper surface of the moving plate 22 abuts against the inner top side surface of the body 10, and the lower surface of the moving plate 22 abuts against the moving plate 22 itself; One end of the moving plate 22 away from the sliding groove 12 is slidably connected to the inner bottom surface of the body 10.

[0029] On the upper surface of the body 10, there is a sensor 13 for sensing screws. On the upper surface of the body 10, there is a sensing channel 14 connected to the feed inlet 11. The sensing channel 14 does not block the sensing route of the sensor 13 to facilitate sensing whether there are screws in the feed inlet 11.

[0030] When the product of the present utility model is in use:

[0031] The screw feeder feeds the screws into the feed inlet. At this time, the head of the screw is clamped outside by the cooperation of the guiding port of the moving plate and the feed inlet, and the rest is located inside the guiding port. Then, the driving mechanism drives the moving plate to move, so that when the feeding port is aligned with the feed inlet, the screws are not clamped by external force and can fall into the screw feeding channel from the feed inlet and the feeding port in sequence, and finally discharged from the discharge pipe.

[0032] Inspired by the ideal embodiments based on this application above, through the above description, relevant staff can completely make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of this application. The technical scope of this application is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
