Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an arranging mechanism, in particular to an automatic production arranging mechanism for micro springs. Background Art

[0002] For small and micro switches, in order to cooperate with the smooth operation of the switch, a micro spring is generally arranged inside the switch. Compared with the micro switch, the occupied space that the micro spring can be designed is very limited. Therefore, the overall volume of the micro spring will be very small.

[0003] In the processing operation of assembling the micro spring into the micro switch, manual intervention is required in the conventional state for arranging and placing. However, in the process of extracting the micro spring, irreversible deformation of the spring may occur due to manual operation, which causes the spring to violate the designed technical requirements for use, resulting in a low yield rate and the production efficiency not meeting the requirements of actual large-scale production. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic production arranging mechanism for micro springs to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: an automatic production arranging mechanism for micro springs, including a platform and a micro spring vibrating disk. The micro spring vibrating disk is installed at a corner of the platform. A conveying rail is installed at the discharge port of the micro spring vibrating disk. A material channel groove is opened in the middle of the conveying rail. A plurality of micro springs are arranged inside the material channel groove. A spring conveyor belt power supply is installed at the bottom of the conveying rail. One end of the conveying rail far away from the micro spring vibrating disk is connected to a ballast platform. A flattening cylinder is arranged on the top of the ballast platform. The output end of the flattening cylinder is fixedly connected with a U-shaped rubber block. An optical fiber identifier is installed on one side of the ballast platform;

[0006] A guide plate is installed in the middle of the conveying rail. A mounting plate is embedded on the surface of the guide plate. A micro camera is installed at the center of the mounting plate. A display screen is installed at one end of the guide plate.

[0007] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, a feeding cover plate is installed at the top end of the conveying rail.

[0008] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, a base is installed at the bottom of the spring conveyor belt power supply. The base is installed at the top end of the platform.

[0009] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, a bracket is installed at the bottom end of the ballast platform. The bracket is installed at the top end of the platform.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, an L-shaped frame is installed on one side wall of the bracket, and the flattening air cylinder is installed on the L-shaped frame.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the micro camera is electrically connected to the display screen, and the micro camera is directly facing the material channel groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. By setting a micro spring vibrating disk, cooperating with a conveying rail and a material channel groove, the present utility model can separate and sort multiple small-sized and light-weight micro springs in the micro spring vibrating disk, and can place multiple micro springs in accordance with the required directions and angles, and then transfer them into the material channel groove and move them for conveying. The process does not require a large amount of manual separation, sorting and placement, has a high degree of automation, saves production time, and since there is no manual intervention, it will not cause irreversible deformation of the micro springs during the placement process of the micro springs. Cooperating with the provided flattening air cylinder, U-force rubber block and ballast platform, it can flatten the micro springs conveyed by the material channel groove, and can ensure that the grabbed micro springs are within a reasonable attitude range during the subsequent assembly process. The provided optical fiber identifier can identify whether the micro springs are flattened in place (whether the angle and placement inclination are up to standard), so as to further detect the flattening effect and ensure the smooth subsequent assembly.

[0014] 2. By setting a guide plate, the present utility model can correct the micro springs that are inclined or protrude from the side of the material channel groove in the material channel groove. The mounting plate and micro camera provided on the guide plate can directly face the material channel groove for shooting, and display the relatively narrow material channel groove in a larger and clearer picture on the display screen, which is convenient for the operator to conduct regular inspections without having to look with a probe, and has better safety. At the same time, it ensures the normal movement and conveying of the micro springs in the material channel groove. Once there are situations such as jamming and deformation, adjustments can be quickly made to avoid subsequent situations of unqualified assembly and assembly failure. Description of the Drawings

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present invention provides a technical solution for an automatic production and arrangement mechanism of miniature springs:

[0021] Embodiment 1:

[0022] According to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, an automatic production and arrangement mechanism of miniature springs includes a platform 18 and a miniature spring vibrating disk 1. The miniature spring vibrating disk 1 is installed at a corner of the platform 18. A conveyor track 2 is installed at the discharge port of the miniature spring vibrating disk 1. The miniature spring vibrating disk 1 arranges the scattered miniature springs 17 in a specific direction and angle and sends them into the conveyor track 12. A feed channel groove 16 is opened in the middle of the conveyor track 2. A plurality of miniature springs 17 are arranged inside the feed channel groove 16. The miniature springs 17 coming out of the miniature spring vibrating disk 1 enter the feed channel groove 16. A spring conveyor belt power supply 6 is installed at the bottom of the conveyor track 2. A conveyor belt is installed inside the conveyor track 2. The miniature springs 17 are placed in the feed channel groove 16 and are in contact with the conveyor belt. In this way, the arranged miniature springs 17 can be transported and moved forward at a specific angle and direction. One end of the conveyor track 2 far from the miniature spring vibrating disk 1 is connected to a ballast platform 11. The ballast platform 11 is connected to the feed channel groove 16. The miniature springs 17 coming out of the feed channel groove 16 will enter the ballast platform 11. After being flattened and detected, they will be grabbed and assembled by the grasping mechanism on the subsequent assembly line. A flattening cylinder 9 is provided on the top of the ballast platform 11. The output end of the flattening cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped rubber block 10. A fiber optic identifier 12 is installed on one side of the ballast platform 11;

[0023] A feeding cover plate 3 is installed at the top of the conveying rail 2, a base 5 is installed at the bottom of the spring conveyor belt power supply 6, the base 5 is installed at the top of the platform 18, a bracket 7 is installed at the bottom end of the ballast platform 11, the bracket 7 is installed at the top of the platform 18, an L-shaped frame 8 is installed on one side wall of the bracket 7, and a flattening cylinder 9 is installed on the L-shaped frame 8.

[0024] During specific use, for a micro spring automatic production and arrangement mechanism of the present utility model, the micro spring vibrating disk 1 is specifically designed according to the length and width dimensions of the micro spring 17, enabling the micro spring 17 to be completely separated and sorted inside the micro spring vibrating disk 1, and arranging the micro spring 17 in the required direction and angle. It only requires manual pouring of the micro spring 17 into the micro spring vibrating disk 1. After the micro spring vibrating disk 1 starts working, it will arrange the scattered micro springs 17 one by one neatly and convey them from the discharge port to the material channel groove 16 of the conveying rail 2 for movement. A guide plate 4 is also provided on the material channel groove 16, and the guide plate 4 is arranged above the material channel groove 16. When the micro spring 17 passes below the guide plate 4, due to the setting of the guide plate 4, if the two sides of the micro spring 17 protrude from the material channel groove 16 or have a certain inclination, it can be corrected by the guide plate 4. Since the micro spring 17 is small in volume and light in weight, in order to enable the micro spring 17 to be grabbed in a reasonable attitude range during the assembly process, it is necessary to flatten the micro spring 17 conveyed by the material channel groove 16. The flattening cylinder 9 drives the U-shaped rubber block 10 to gently touch the micro spring 17 to flatten it gently. At the same time, an optical fiber identifier 12 is used to identify the micro spring 17 placed on the ballast platform 11 to identify whether the current micro spring 17 is flattened in place and whether the placement inclination is up to standard.

[0025] Embodiment 2:

[0026] On the basis of Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, a guide plate 4 is installed in the middle of the conveying rail 2. An installation plate 13 is embedded on the surface of the guide plate 4. While the guide plate 4 is stuck on the conveying rail 2, it can cover the material channel groove 16. Therefore, the micro spring 17 passing through the material channel groove 16 will be corrected. A micro camera 14 is installed at the center of the installation plate 13, a display screen 15 is installed at one end of the guide plate 4, the micro camera 14 is electrically connected to the display screen 15, and the micro camera 14 faces the material channel groove 16 directly.

[0027] In actual use, for the automatic production and arrangement mechanism of a micro spring of the present utility model, during the conveying and processing process, due to the small size and light weight of the micro spring 17, it will be conveyed orderly along the material channel groove 16 under normal operation. However, once there are individual deformations or jams, it will affect the entire conveying progress. The material channel groove 16 matches the micro spring 17, so it is also narrow in the same size, making it difficult to observe and the inspection process is relatively difficult. The mounting plate 13 can be embedded in the guide plate 4. While the guide plate 4 corrects the deviation of the micro spring, it can also use the micro camera 14 to take pictures of the micro spring 17 in the material channel groove 16, and the specific picture situation is displayed through the display screen 15. In this way, the operator can confirm whether the micro spring 17 in the material channel groove 16 is neatly and orderly conveyed and moved by watching the captured picture on the display screen 15, so as to keep the normal operation of the entire production line and any problems can be discovered and adjusted in time.
