[0020] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention and implement it according to the contents of the specification, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0021] This specific embodiment describes in detail the O-ring feeding mechanism described in this application. Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the O-ring feeding mechanism includes: a base plate 1, a hopper 2, a support block 3, two support plates 4, an opening and closing mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The hopper 2 is fixed to the top surface of the base plate 1. An inner cavity capable of accommodating an O-ring 16 is provided in the hopper 2. An upper air blowing nozzle is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity, and a side air blowing nozzle is provided on the side wall of the inner cavity. The upper air blowing nozzle and the side air blowing nozzle are connected to an air source. The first end of the flow channel is connected to the side wall of the inner cavity, and the air outlet end of the side air blowing nozzle is opposite to the first end of the flow channel. A single O-ring 16 can pass through the flow channel. The lifting mechanism is fixed to the base plate 1, and the support block 3 is connected to the movable end of the lifting mechanism. A first through hole for the support block 3 to extend into is provided at the bottom of the second end of the flow channel, and a second through hole is provided at the top of the second end of the flow channel. The two support plates 4 are respectively connected to the opening and closing mechanism. Mechanism, the support plates 4 are provided with notches on the sides facing each other, and the side walls of the notches are protruding with abutment platforms. The O-ring 16 in the inner cavity can roll up and down in the inner cavity under the blowing of the upper blowing nozzle. The O-ring 16 rolling up and down in the inner cavity can enter the first end of the flow channel under the blowing of the side blowing nozzle and then move along the flow channel to the second end of the flow channel. The O-ring 16 moved to the second end of the flow channel can be sleeved on the top of the support block 3. The O-ring 16 sleeved on the support block 3 can extend from the second through hole under the drive of the lifting mechanism and then extend from between the two support plates 4. The two support plates 4 can approach each other under the drive of the opening and closing mechanism, the side wall of the O-ring 16 can be stuck in the notch, and the bottom surface of the O-ring 16 can be built on the top surface of the abutment platform. During use, multiple O-rings 16 are placed in the silo 2, and then the upper air nozzle blows air upward. At this time, the O-rings 16 in the silo 2 are blown up and down in the silo 2 by the upper air nozzle, and then the O-rings 16 blown up by the upper air nozzle are continuously blown toward the first end of the flow channel by the side air nozzle. The O-rings 16 blown toward the first end of the flow channel can enter the flow channel. It should be noted that in actual use, not all O-rings 16 blown toward the first end of the flow channel by the side air nozzle can enter the first end of the flow channel. The larger the opening of the first end of the flow channel, the greater the probability of the O-ring 16 entering the first end of the flow channel. The user can select the opening size of the first end of the flow channel according to production requirements, and then the O-ring 16 moves along the flow channel to the second end of the flow channel. In the initial state The top of the support block 3 extends out of the first through-hole at the bottom of the second end of the flow channel. The O-ring 16 moved to the second end of the flow channel can be sleeved on the top of the support block 3. Then, driven by the lifting mechanism, the O-ring 16 extends out of the second through-hole and then extends out from between the two support plates 4. Then, driven by the opening and closing mechanism, the support plates 4 approach each other. At this time, the side wall of the O-ring 16 is stuck in the notch, and the bottom surface of the O-ring 16 is placed on the top surface of the abutment platform. Then, the support block 3 is lowered by the lifting mechanism. Since the bottom surface of the O-ring 16 is placed on the top surface of the abutment platform, the O-ring 16 will not descend with the support block 3. At this time, the O-ring 16 placed on the abutment platform can be used. Since the entire feeding process is fully automated, the degree of automation is high. It has the advantage of a high degree of automation.

[0022] Optionally, in this embodiment, the opening and closing mechanism includes a slide rail, a push block 5, two fixed plates 6, two compression springs, a roller 8 and a first cylinder 7.

One compression spring corresponds to one fixed plate 6, and the two ends of the compression spring respectively abut against the fixed plate 6 and the support plate 4. The push plate is fixed to the moving end of the first cylinder 7, and the roller 8 is rotatably connected to the end of the push plate close to the support plate 4. The support plates 4 are provided with slopes in opposite directions on the sides facing each other. The push block 5 can approach the support plate 4 under the drive of the first cylinder 7, and the roller 8 can squeeze the slopes on the two support plates 4. The support plates 4 can move away from each other under the squeezing of the roller 8 or approach each other under the drive of the compression spring. When the two support plates 4 need to move away from each other, the push block 5 approaches the support plate 4 under the drive of the first cylinder 7, and the roller 8 squeezes the slopes on the two support plates 4 to move the two support plates 4 away from each other. When the push block 5 moves away from the support plate 4 under the drive of the first cylinder 7, the two support plates 4 can move closer to each other under the drive of the compression spring to achieve reset.
