[0028] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the rivet gun nail feeding mechanism of the embodiment of the utility model includes:

[0029] A fixing frame 1, wherein an upper fixing member 11 is provided at the upper end of the fixing frame 1 and a lower fixing member 12 is provided at the lower end;

[0030] Feed pipe 2, which is connected to the fixing frame 1 through the upper fixing piece 11;

[0031] The nail-out tube 3 is made of stainless steel, which greatly improves the service life of the nail-out tube 3. The upper end of the nail-out tube 3 is connected to the feed pipe 2, and the nail-out tube 3 is connected to the fixing frame 1 through the lower fixing piece 12;

[0032] A lifting cylinder 4 is connected to the fixing frame 1;

[0033] Rotating cylinder 5, which is connected to the output end of lifting cylinder 4, and lifting cylinder 4 can drive rotating cylinder 5 to move up and down;

[0034] A fixed block 6, one end of which is connected to the output end of the rotary cylinder 5, and the other end of which is provided with a first through hole 61;

[0035] The rubber part 7 is arranged in the first through hole 61 and has an interference fit with the first through hole 61. A second through hole 62 is provided in the rubber part 7. The second through hole 62 is funnel-shaped and is used to prevent the rivet 9 from escaping from the second through hole 62. The rubber part 7 is used to prevent the stress caused by direct contact between the lower end of the nail tube 3 and the fixing block 6 from causing damage to the nail tube 3 or the fixing block 6. In addition, the use of the rubber part 7 also facilitates replacement.

[0036] Further, if Figure 1 、 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a pair of guide rods 41 are also provided on the lifting cylinder 4. The pair of guide rods 41 are slidably provided on the lifting cylinder 4, and one end is connected to the rotating cylinder 5. The pair of guide rods 41 play a guiding role when the rotating cylinder 5 is lifted or lowered.

[0037] Further, if Figure 1 、 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the feed pipe 2 is used to continuously convey multiple rivets 9 , and the inner diameter of the feed pipe 2 is larger than the maximum diameter of the rivet 9 , which facilitates the conveyance of the rivets 9 .

[0038] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower end of the nail-out tube 3 is tapered, which reduces the contact area between the nail-out tube 3 and the rubber member 7 .

[0039] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, an annular limiting step 72 is provided on the upper end of the rubber member 7 to prevent the rubber member 7 from falling from the first through hole 61 .

[0040] Further, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, it also includes: a clamping cylinder 8, the clamping cylinder 8 is arranged at the bottom of the fixed block 6 and is fixedly connected to the fixed block 6. A third through hole 811 with a diameter equal to the lower end diameter of the rivet 9 is opened in the middle position of the clamping claw 81 of the clamping cylinder 8, and the third through hole 811 can be aligned with the second through hole 62; the use of the clamping cylinder 8 can prevent the rivet 9 in the second through hole 62 from falling from above during the rotation of the fixed block 6.

[0041] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper fixing member 11 and the lower fixing member 12 are respectively connected to the fixing frame 1 by screws, which is convenient for disassembly.

[0042] Working Principle: Rivet 9 passes through feed tube 2 and into rivet outlet tube 3, then into second through-hole 62. Its lower end protrudes out of second through-hole 62, and the clamping cylinder 8 clamps the lower end of rivet 9. Next, the lifting cylinder 4 drives the fixing block 6 down to the designated position, and the rotating cylinder 5 rotates the fixing block 6 90°, positioning the rivet 9 directly below the rivet gun. Next, the lifting cylinder 4 drives the fixing block 6 upward, causing the rubber member 7 to contact the muzzle of the rivet gun. The clamping cylinder 8 releases its clamping jaws, and the rivet gun removes the rivet 9 from the second through-hole 62. The fixing block 6 then returns to its original position, and the next round of rivet feeding begins.

[0043] Above, refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present invention describes a nail feeding mechanism for a rivet gun according to an embodiment of the present invention, which realizes automated nail feeding, greatly improves the nail feeding speed, reduces production costs, and also avoids worker injuries.
