[0002] Nuts come in many different types, including those with various features like anti-slip and anti-rust properties. Nut loading during assembly on automated production lines can be cumbersome, and when multiple nuts are used simultaneously, they can easily become mixed up. Therefore, a technology designed to address these issues has emerged to improve production efficiency and product quality while reducing labor costs and errors. This technology has been widely adopted in the manufacturing industry, particularly in the automotive, aerospace, and electronics sectors.

[0003] At present, the automatic production line nut separation and feeding device on the market has shortcomings: when sorting nuts, a vibration sorting method is usually adopted. However, this method will generate a lot of noise, which will affect the work of construction workers. For this reason, we have designed an automatic production line nut separation and feeding device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide an automatic production line nut separation and feeding device with high practicality, simple operation and relatively simple structure, which solves the problem of large noise generated by the vibration classification method proposed in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a nut separation and feeding device for an automatic production line, comprising a base and a separation mechanism assembled inside the base;

[0006] The base includes a rectangular frame, a loading frame fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular frame, and a rectangular groove opened on the inner wall of the loading frame;

[0007] The separation mechanism includes a cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the rectangular frame, a rectangular block slidably connected to the inside of the rectangular groove, and two slide slots opened on both sides of the top of the rectangular block. The output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to a fixed plate, two springs are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed plate, and the two springs are internally sleeved with buffer rods. One end of the two springs is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular block, and the two slide slots are internally slidably connected with sliders. The tops of the two sliders are fixedly connected with a U-shaped plate, and the two U-shaped plates are rotatably connected to the connecting blocks on the opposite sides. A push rod is fixedly connected to the top center of the fixed plate, and the push rod passes through the rectangular block and is located below the connecting block. Blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the loading frame.

[0008] Optionally, discharge ports are provided on both sides of the loading frame, and first guide plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the loading frame.

[0009] Optionally, a plurality of circular holes are provided on the surface of the first material guide plate, and a second material guide plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first material guide plate.

[0010] Optionally, a slope is provided on one side of the inner wall of the loading frame, and a notch is provided on one side of the loading frame.

[0011] Optionally, a cover plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the rectangular frame via bolts, and a foot pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular frame.

[0012] The utility model provides a nut separation and feeding device for an automatic production line, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The nut separation and feeding device of the automatic production line pours the nuts into the feeding frame through the setting of the base and the separation mechanism, and starts the cylinder to drive the spring on the fixed plate to apply pressure to the rectangular block, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the rectangular block. When the rectangular block moves upward and contacts the block, it stops rising due to the obstruction of the block. However, the cylinder continues to push upward, further squeezing the spring, causing the push rod to support and lift the connecting block. This action causes one end of the two U-shaped plates to move upward, while the slider at the bottom of the other end slides in the slide groove and aligns with the discharge port. As the U-shaped plate moves, the nuts inside are discharged through the discharge port. By adopting the reciprocating motion of the cylinder, we have reduced the noise generated by traditional vibration separation of nuts, thereby improving the working environment of the staff.

[0019] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a nut separation and feeding device for an automatic production line, comprising a base 1 and a separation mechanism 2 assembled inside the base 1, the base 1 comprising a rectangular frame 101 and a feeding frame 102 fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular frame 101, and a rectangular groove 103 opened on the inner wall of the feeding frame 102, the separation mechanism 2 comprising a cylinder 201 fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the rectangular frame 101 and a rectangular block 202 slidably connected to the inside of the rectangular groove 103, and two rectangular blocks 202 opened on both sides of the top of the rectangular block 202. The output end of the cylinder 201 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 204, and two springs 205 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed plate 204. The two springs 205 are internally sleeved with buffer rods. One end of the two springs 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular block 202. The two slides 203 are internally slidably connected to the slider 206. The top of the two sliders 206 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 207. The two U-shaped plates 207 are rotatably connected to the opposite side with a connecting block 208. The top of the fixed plate 204 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 207. The center of the rectangular block 202 is fixedly connected with a push rod 209, which passes through the rectangular block 202 and is located below the connecting block 208. Stoppers 210 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the loading frame 102. The nut is poured into the loading frame 102, and the cylinder 201 is started to drive the spring 205 on the fixed plate 204 to apply pressure to the rectangular block 202, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the rectangular block 202. When the rectangular block 202 moves upward and contacts the stopper 210, the rectangular block 202 stops rising due to the obstruction of the stopper 210. However, , the cylinder 201 continues to push upward, further squeezing the spring 205, causing the push rod 209 to support and lift the connecting block 208. This action causes one end of the two U-shaped plates 207 to move upward, while the slider 206 at the bottom of the other end slides in the slide groove 203 and aligns with the discharge port. As the U-shaped plate 207 moves, the nuts inside are discharged through the discharge port. By adopting the reciprocating motion of the cylinder 201, we reduce the noise generated by the traditional vibration separation of nuts, thereby improving the working environment of the staff.

[0021] Furthermore, discharge ports are provided on both sides of the loading frame 102 , and first guide plates 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the loading frame 102 .

[0022] Furthermore, a plurality of circular holes are provided on the surface of the first guide plate 3, and a second guide plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first guide plate 3, wherein the larger nuts are guided out when the nuts pass through the first guide plate 3, while the smaller nuts fall through the circular holes to the second guide plate 4 and are guided out.

[0023] Furthermore, a slope is provided on one side of the inner wall of the loading frame 102, and a notch is provided on one side of the loading frame 102, wherein the slope provided on the inner wall of the loading frame 102 facilitates the nuts to slide toward the U-shaped plate 207 without manual intervention.

[0024] Furthermore, the surface of the rectangular frame 101 is fixedly connected to a cover plate 5 by bolts, and the bottom of the rectangular frame 101 is fixedly connected to a foot pad, wherein the bolts on the surface of the cover plate 5 can be unscrewed and the cover plate 5 can be removed to facilitate maintenance or repair of the cylinder 201.

[0025] In the present invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0026] The first step: pour the nuts into the loading frame 102, start the cylinder 201 to drive the spring 205 on the fixed plate 204 to apply pressure to the rectangular block 202, so as to realize the up and down movement of the rectangular block 202. When the rectangular block 202 moves upward and contacts the stopper 210, the rectangular block 202 stops rising due to the obstruction of the stopper 210. However, the cylinder 201 continues to push upward, further squeezing the spring 205, causing the push rod 209 to support and lift the connecting block 208. This action causes one end of the two U-shaped plates 207 to move upward, and the slider 206 at the bottom of the other end slides in the chute 203 and aligns with the discharge port. As the U-shaped plate 207 moves, the nuts inside are discharged through the discharge port.

[0027] Second step: When the nuts pass through the first guide plate 3 , the larger nuts are guided out, while the smaller nuts fall through the circular holes to the second guide plate 4 and are guided out.
