[0019] The following combines the drawings and embodiments to further describe the detailed embodiment of the present utility model in detail. The following embodiments or drawings are used to illustrate the present utility model, but not to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0020] A nut insert vibrating disk, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, includes a base 1, a hopper 2, an internal guide rail 3, an external guide rail 4, and an external chassis 5. The hopper 2 is installed on the base 1, the internal guide rail 3 is installed inside the hopper 2, both the external guide rail 4 and the external chassis 5 are installed outside the hopper 2, and the external chassis 5 is located below the external guide rail 4;

[0021] The external guide rail 4 is successively composed of a material dropping section 6, a material sorting section 7, a flipping section 8, and a discharging section 9. The material dropping section 6 is connected to the outlet of the internal guide rail 3, the outlet of the discharging section 9 extends outside the external chassis 5, the outside of the material sorting section 7 has an opening, and a plurality of spaced material sorting teeth 10 are provided at the lower end of the material sorting section 7, and the heads of the material sorting teeth 10 extend towards the opening direction.

[0022] When the upright nut inserts pass through the dividing section 7, if the blind hole of the nut insert faces downward, the internal space of the blind hole below the nut insert can accommodate the head of the dividing tooth 10, and the nut insert can pass through the dividing section 7 smoothly. If the blind hole of the nut insert faces upward, the lower end face of the nut insert collides with the head of the dividing tooth 10, and the head of the dividing tooth 10 pushes up the nut insert, causing the nut insert to tilt, and the nut insert will fall from the outer opening of the dividing section 7, thereby screening out the nut inserts with the blind hole facing upward, ensuring that the external guide rail 4 can output nut inserts with the blind hole facing the same direction. In addition, the flipping section 8 flips the nut insert 180°, and finally outputs the nut insert with the blind hole facing upward, which is convenient for the subsequent robotic arm to grab and install.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottoms of both the inner and outer guide rails 3 and 4 are inclined surfaces, with the ends of the inclined surfaces facing upward away from the side surfaces. The inclined surfaces of the bottoms hold the nut inserts against the side surfaces of the guide rails, which not only helps the nut inserts maintain their position but also prevents them from falling off the guide rails.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer guide rail 4 is provided with screening openings 11, one between the blanking section 6 and the dividing section 7, and one between the dividing section 7 and the turning section 8. The screening openings 11 are located at the angle between the inclined end face and the side end face of the outer guide rail 4. The height of the screening openings 11 is less than the height of the nut inserts. Therefore, upright nut inserts cannot pass through the screening openings 11, while horizontal nut inserts will fall off the outer guide rail 4 through the screening openings 11, thereby screening out the upright nut inserts.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the outlet section of the inner guide rail 3 is arc-shaped, and the entrance of the blanking section 6 is located below the outlet of the inner guide rail 3. A limit rod 12 is provided at the outlet of the inner guide rail 3. The arc-shaped inner guide rail 3 and the limit rod 12 make it easier for the nut insert to fall upright on the blanking section 6.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a limit strip 13 is provided outside the flip section 8. The limit strip 13 limits the posture of the nut insert in the flip section 8, ensuring that the nut insert only moves along the deformation trajectory of the flip section 8.

[0027] The outer guide rail 4 is welded to the outside of the hopper 2 via a plurality of support rods 14 .

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modification or equivalent change made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
