[0047] Working principle of automatic rotary feeding mechanism

[0048] The working principle of this equipment mainly includes the following key steps, which realize efficient and accurate pin feeding through automation and intelligent control.

[0049] 1. Loading stage

[0050] At the beginning of the work, the metal pins are manually placed in the feeding station and moved by vibration through the translation slot 75 in the vibration moving structure 7. The vibration motor equipped with the vibration moving structure 7 moves the pins in the translation slot through vibration, ensuring that the pins remain smooth during the feeding process.

[0051] 2. Sensor detection

[0052] When the pin moves through the translation slot 75 to the front of the rotating structure 4, the built-in sensor will detect the position of the pin in real time. After the sensor confirms that the pin is in place, it sends a signal to the PLC control system to trigger subsequent operations.

[0053] 3. Rotation mechanism activation

[0054] Once the sensor confirms that the pin is in place, the push cylinder 3 starts working, and the top of the push cylinder is connected to the drive rack 42, which slides back and forth in the stable sliding groove 41. This movement drives the rotating gear 43 to rotate at an angle of 90 degrees.

[0055] 4. Pin positioning

[0056] The rotating gear 43 and the rotating fixture block 44 are connected to each other. As the rotating gear 43 rotates, the rotating fixture block 44 also rotates. Through the clamping of the pneumatic clamp 45, the originally flat pin is rotated to a vertical position.

[0057] 5. Pick and Place

[0058] After the pin completes its rotation, the mechanical gripper 5 aligns with the rotating jig block 44 and clamps the pin through pneumatic control. Then, the gripper transports the pin to the jig where the pin is placed, and the gripper docks with the positioning column on the jig to ensure that the pin is accurately placed in the specified position.

[0059] 6. Repeat the loop

[0060] After completing one feeding, the mechanical gripper releases the pin and the equipment is ready to receive the next pin. The system automatically adjusts according to the preset program, making the entire feeding process fast and continuous.

[0061] Summarize

[0062] Through these steps, the automatic rotary feeding mechanism achieves efficient and precise feeding of pins. This equipment integrates multiple advanced technologies, including vibration feeding, sensor detection, and automated mechanical gripping, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality while reducing the risks associated with manual operation.

[0063] Utilizing the technical solution described in the utility model, or those skilled in the art designing similar technical solutions inspired by the technical solution of the utility model to achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, all fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
