DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0048] The utility model provides a fastener aligning system, which can save manpower on the production line by preventing some fasteners from being missing from the engaging holes of the fixed plate or some conveying holes of the conveying plate. The fastener aligning system is described below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a fastener arranging system, which is one of the processes in the fastener A production line and can arrange multiple fasteners A in an orderly manner for subsequent processing. The fasteners A can be screws, rivets, etc., but are not limited to these. The fastener arranging system has a base 10, a fixing plate 20, a conveying plate 30, a horizontal feeding device 40, a driving assembly 50, a support member 60, a fixture plate 70 and a picking device 80.

[0049] See Figure 3 In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the base 10 has a first portion 11, a second portion 12 and a guide groove 13. The first portion 11 and the second portion 12 are L-shaped, that is, the first portion 11 is upright, and the second portion 12 is connected to the bottom of the first portion 11. In this embodiment, the first portion 11 is perpendicular to the ground, and the second portion 12 is horizontal. The guide groove 13 is formed on the wall surface of the first portion 11. Specifically, a protrusion 14 is formed on the wall surface of the first portion 11, and the guide groove 13 is concavely formed on the surface of the protrusion 14. The guide groove 13 is surrounded by an elliptical ring, and the major axis of the ellipse extends up and down.

[0050] See Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a fixing plate 20 is arranged at the top of the first part 11 of the base 10 and has a plurality of engaging holes 21. The engaging holes 21 are concavely formed at the side edge of the fixing plate 20 and are arranged in a row at the same distance from each other. The fasteners A can be passed through the engaging holes 21 and correspond to the engaging holes 21 one by one. Each engaging hole 21 has a lateral opening, the width of the upper edge of the lateral opening is greater than the width of the lower edge of the lateral opening, and the width of the upper edge of the lateral opening is greater than the head diameter of each fastener A. Among the engaging holes 21, the engaging hole 21 at the edge is a first engaging hole 211, and a second engaging hole 212 is adjacent to the first engaging hole 211.

[0051] See Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 The cam 31 is provided with a plurality of holes 31 on the top of the conveying plate 30 , and the holes 31 are arranged in a row at the same distance from each other. The positions of the holes 31 correspond to the positions of the engaging holes 21 , so that the fasteners A can be simultaneously passed through the engaging holes 21 and the conveying holes 31 . The outermost hole 31 of the conveying hole 31 is a first conveying hole 311 , and the second conveying hole 312 is adjacent to the first conveying hole 311 . When the conveying plate 30 does not move relative to the fixed plate 20 , the position of the first conveying hole 311 corresponds to the position of the first engaging hole 211 , and the position of the second conveying hole 312 corresponds to the position of the second engaging hole 212 . The horizontal conveying device 40 can horizontally convey the fasteners A to the top of the fixed plate 20 and cause the fasteners A to fall into the first engaging hole 211 and the first conveying hole 311 .

[0052] See Figures 2 to 5In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly 50 is arranged on the first part 11 of the base 10 and has a rotating assembly 51, a motor 52, a guide column 53, a connecting rod 54 and a driven member 55. The rotating assembly 51 has a main rotating member 511, a primary rotating member 512 and a transmission member 513. The main rotating member 511 and the secondary rotating member 512 are arranged on the first part 11 of the base 10. The motor 52 is connected to the main rotating member 511 and can drive the main rotating member 511 to rotate. The secondary rotating member 512 is spaced apart from the main rotating member 511 and sleeved. The guide groove 13 is provided on the protrusion 14 and takes the protrusion 14 as the axis. The center point of the ellipse surrounded by the main rotating member 511 and the secondary rotating member 512 is the center of the circle. The transmission member 513 connects the main rotating member 511 and the secondary rotating member 512. In this embodiment, the transmission member 513 is a belt. In other embodiments, the transmission member 513 can be a gear or a connecting rod 54, but is not limited thereto. One end of the connecting rod 54 is connected to the secondary rotating member 512, and the other end is connected to the guide column 53. The guide column 53 is disposed in the guide groove 13 and can move along the guide groove 13. The driven member 55 connects the guide column 53 and the conveying plate 30.

[0053] Preferably, when the motor 52 drives the main rotating member 511 to rotate, the transmission member 513 drives the secondary rotating member 512 to rotate, and then the secondary rotating member 512 drives the connecting rod 54, thereby causing the guide post 53 to move along the guide groove 13. When the guide post 53 moves upward along the guide groove 13, the guide post 53 drives the follower 55 and the conveying plate 30 to move upward and make the conveying plate 30 approach the fixed plate 20. When the guide post 53 moves downward along the guide groove 13, the guide post 53 drives the follower 55 and the conveying plate 30 to move downward and make the conveying plate 30 away from the fixed plate 20. When the guide post 53 moves horizontally along the guide groove 13, the guide post 53 drives the follower 55 and the conveying plate 30 to move in the same direction relative to the fixed plate 20.

[0054] Furthermore, the support member 60 is movably assembled on the follower 55 to enhance the stability of the follower 55. Specifically, the fastener arrangement system further includes a first slide rail 61 and a second slide rail 62. The support member 60 is arranged on the follower 55 with the first slide rail 61, whereby the follower 55 can vertically move relative to the support member 60 through the first slide rail 61, and the support member 60 is arranged on the second portion 12 of the base 10 with the second slide rail 62, whereby the support member 60 can horizontally move relative to the base 10 through the second slide rail 62. In other words, when the guide column 53 drives the follower 55 to move upward or downward, the follower 55 can move relative to the support member 60 through the first slide rail 61, and the support member 60 does not move relative to the base 10. When the guide column 53 drives the follower 55 to move horizontally, the follower 55, the first slide rail 61 and the support member 60 move relative to the base 10 through the second slide rail 62.

[0055] See Figure 1 The present invention provides a fastener arranging system in which a jig plate 70 is spaced apart on a fixed plate 20, and the jig plate 70 can be moved to the next step of the production line. The jig plate 70 has a plurality of jig holes 71, and the distance between the jig holes 71 is the same as the distance between the engaging holes 21. The picking device 80 can move between the fixed plate 20 and the jig plate 70, and can pick up at least one fastener A from the fixed plate 20 to the jig plate 70. In this embodiment, the picking device 80 is a vacuum adsorption device, and is moved by a horizontal cylinder 81 and a vertical cylinder 82, and the picking device 80 can absorb ten fasteners A from the fixed plate 20 to the jig plate 70, but is not limited to this.

[0056] See Figure 1 、 Figures 6 to 10 First, the horizontal feeding device 40 horizontally feeds the fastener A to the top of the fixed plate 20, and causes the fastener A to fall into the first engaging hole 211 and the first conveying hole 311. The head of the fastener A is located in the first engaging hole 211, and the bottom of the fastener A is located in the first conveying hole 311. Then, the motor 52 drives the main rotating member 511 to rotate, causing the transmission member 513 to drive the secondary rotating member 512 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod 54 to move the guide post 53 upward along the guide groove 13. At this time, the guide post 53 drives the follower 55 and the conveying plate 30 to move upward, causing the conveying plate 30 to approach the fixed plate 20, thereby causing the head of the fastener A to disengage from the first engaging hole 211. As the motor 52 continues to drive, the guide post 53 moves rightward along the guide groove 13, and drives the follower 55 and the conveying plate 30 to move rightward until the position of the first conveying hole 311 corresponds to the second The guide post 53 then moves downward along the guide groove 13, driving the follower 55 and the conveying plate 30 to move downward. At this time, the head of the fastener A falls into the second engaging hole 212, and the bottom of the fastener A is separated from the first conveying hole 311. Then the guide post 53 moves leftward along the guide groove 13, driving the follower 55 and the conveying plate 30 to move leftward until the position of the first conveying hole 311 corresponds to the position of the first engaging hole 211, and the position of the second conveying hole 312 corresponds to the position of the second engaging hole 212. Finally, the guide post 53 moves upward along the guide groove 13 until the bottom of the fastener A is located in the second conveying hole 312. At this time, the fastener A is located in the second engaging hole 212 and the second conveying hole 312, and the horizontal feeding device 40 can horizontally feed the next fastener A to the first engaging hole 211 and the first conveying hole 311.

[0057] Furthermore, by repeating the above steps multiple times, fastener A is moved to the bottom of the picking device 80. After the picking device 80 picks up the fastener A, it moves to the jig plate 70 and places the fastener A in the jig hole 71 of the jig plate 70. The fastener A and the jig plate 70 are then sent to the next step of the production line.

[0058] The beneficial effects of a fastener arranging system of the present invention are as follows: the fixed plate 20 of the fastener arranging system has a plurality of engaging holes 21, and the conveying plate 30 has a plurality of conveying holes 31. The driving device can make the conveying plate 30 move back and forth relative to the fixed plate 20, and move the fastener A to the adjacent engaging holes 21 and conveying holes 31. Thereby, the fastener arranging system of the present invention can avoid vacancies in the engaging holes 21 of the fixed plate 20 or the conveying holes 31 of the conveying plate 30, so as to save manpower allocation of the production line. In addition, by setting the operating speed of the driving device, the moving speed of the fastener A can be adjusted to match the subsequent process of the production line.

[0059] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. A person skilled in the art can make various modifications to the present invention based on the above description. Therefore, certain details in the embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
