Specific embodiments
[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present utility model provides an automatic feeding mechanism for keyboard bulk scissor feet, including a base 1.

The bottom end of the top seat 3 is provided with a feeding component 4 for guiding the keyboard scissor feet into the inside of the keyboard scissor foot assembly disk 5. One end of the top of the base 1 is provided with a feeding component 6 for guiding the keyboard scissor feet into the output end of the feeding component 4.
[0020] Among them, the feeding component 4 includes a first cylinder 41. The first cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the top seat 3. The output end of the first cylinder 41 is fixedly connected with a movable plate 42. One end of the bottom of the movable plate 42 is fixedly connected with a second cylinder 43. The output end of the second cylinder 43 is fixedly connected with a mounting plate 44. The bottom end of the mounting plate 44 is fixedly connected with a feeding rack 45. A plurality of partition grooves 46 are opened inside the feeding rack 45. The plurality of partition grooves 46 are equidistantly distributed along the width direction of the feeding rack 45.
[0021] By controlling the second cylinder 43, the mounting plate 44 is translated horizontally, so that the loading rack 45 moves below the feeding assembly 6 to receive materials. This enables the keyboard scissor feet to be introduced between the partition slots 46 of the loading rack 45. Then, control the second cylinder 43 again to make the mounting plate 44 translate in the reverse direction, so that the loading rack 45 moves directly above the keyboard scissor foot assembly tray 5, and each keyboard scissor foot in the loading rack 45 is adjusted to the corresponding assembly position. Finally, control the first cylinder 41 to make the movable plate 42 slide downward. This makes the loading rack 45 move downward and approach the keyboard scissor foot assembly tray 5 until all the keyboard scissor feet on the loading rack 45 are inserted into the corresponding positions. Then, control the second cylinder 43 to make the mounting plate 44 translate so that the loading rack 45 disengages from the already assembled keyboard scissor feet. The entire process can achieve automatic feeding of the keyboard scissor feet, eliminating the need for manual assembly one by one, greatly reducing the manual labor intensity, and improving the assembly efficiency of the keyboard scissor feet.
[0022] Among them, the feeding assembly 6 includes a material guiding seat 61, which is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the base 1. The top end of the material guiding seat 61 is fixedly connected with a feeding hopper 62. A number of material guiding plates 63 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the material guiding seat 61. The a number of material guiding plates 63 are equidistantly distributed along the width direction of the material guiding seat 61. The material guiding seat 61 is of an inclined structure, and the a number of material guiding plates 63 are of a structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The keyboard scissor feet are introduced into the interior of the material guiding seat 61 through the feeding hopper 62, and then the keyboard scissor feet are respectively introduced into different partition slots 46 of the loading rack 45 through the respective material guiding plates 63, thus realizing the automatic arrangement of the keyboard scissor feet.
[0023] Among them, a material shifting member 64 is provided at the top end of the material guiding seat 61. The material shifting member 64 includes a reciprocating lead screw 641, which is rotatably connected to the inner side of the material guiding seat 61. A slider 642 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw 641. The bottom end of the slider 642 is fixedly connected with a shifting rod 643. The shifting rod 643 can abut against the materials inside the feeding hopper 62. A motor 644 is fixedly installed at one end of the outer side of the material guiding seat 61. The output shaft of the motor 644 is fixedly connected with the reciprocating lead screw 641. A guide rail 645 parallel to the reciprocating lead screw 641 is fixedly connected to the top end of the inner side of the material guiding seat 61. The top end of the slider 642 is slidably connected to the guide rail 645.
[0024] The keyboard scissor feet are introduced into the interior of the material guiding seat 61 through the feeding hopper 62. At the same time, start the motor 644 to make the reciprocating lead screw 641 rotate, so that the slider 642 reciprocates along the axial direction of the reciprocating lead screw 641. This makes the shifting rod 643 follow the slider 642 to perform reciprocating movements, and the shifting rod 643 can shift the keyboard scissor feet, avoiding the problem that the keyboard scissor feet are piled up and cannot be exported from the material guiding seat 61.
