Springs have a wide range of uses, mainly reflected in the following aspects: using their elastic properties to control the movement of mechanical parts, absorbing and mitigating shock and vibration from mechanical systems, storing energy and releasing it when needed, measuring force, and being used in various devices and mechanisms that require elastic restoring force, such as various buffers, shock absorbers, medical devices, and electronic equipment.
[0003] At present, the spring workpieces produced are mostly stacked in storage boxes. For the production line where springs need to be installed, it is inconvenient for workers to take and put them. For example, the springs will be entangled when they are taken, or the workers may drop the workpieces when separating them, which affects the production and processing progress to a certain extent. Therefore, how to realize the one-by-one export of workpieces on the spring installation and processing production line is a problem faced by people. To this end, we provide a spring separator with reasonable design, simple structure, easy processing, and the ability to accommodate multiple spring workpieces. It can also realize the retrieval of a single spring workpiece when in use, ensuring the functionality of the device and equipment, thereby effectively improving the work process to a certain extent and meeting the production and processing needs.

[0019] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0020] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0021] Examples, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a spring separator comprises a spring separator body, which comprises a mounting frame 1 designed in a T shape to ensure the stability of the spring separator body. A placement frame 2 is provided above one side of the mounting frame 1, which is a convenient abutment for the fall of the spring workpiece, providing convenient conditions for the single fall of the spring workpiece. A channel 21 for accommodating the spring workpiece and facilitating its fall and export is provided on the front side of the placement frame 2. The channel 21 is adapted to the spring workpiece, can realize the temporary storage of the workpiece, and provides a prerequisite for subsequent export. A driving cylinder 3 is provided on the mounting frame 1, and a connecting plate 31 is provided at the output end of the driving cylinder 3. The connecting plate 31 can hinge the output end of the driving cylinder 3 and the extrusion plate 4 together, providing convenience for the movement of the extrusion plate 4 driven by the driving cylinder 3. An extrusion plate 4 with a spring workpiece in the extrusion channel 21 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 31. The working principle of the spring sheet component is the same as that of the prior art. It can fully squeeze the workpiece to prevent it from moving. A support plate 5 with an L-shaped design is provided under the extrusion plate 4, which can move longitudinally relative to the mounting frame 2. A baffle 51 is provided on the outside of the support plate 5, and a discharge chute 52 is provided between the baffle 51 and the bend of the support plate 5. When the extrusion plate 41 is in the rear position and does not have an extrusion effect on the workpiece, the baffle 51 is just corresponding to the channel 21 and supports the workpiece to prevent it from falling. When the workpiece needs to be separated and dropped individually, the driving cylinder 3 is operated and drives the extrusion plate 4 to move in the direction close to the workpiece. At this time, the baffle 51 gradually moves outward until the discharge chute 52 corresponds to the channel 21. In this way, the workpiece at the bottom will fall due to lack of support and be discharged through the discharge pipe 8, completing the single discharge of the spring workpiece and improving the working process.
[0022] The cam 51 of the support plate 5 is moved away from the channel 21, and the spring workpiece is discharged from the discharge chute 52 and discharged through the discharge pipe 8, thereby realizing the single separation of the materials. After the single material falls, the driving cylinder 3 contracts, and when the cam 51 moves to the lower chute 52, the cam 51 is disengaged from the channel 21 to ensure that the next workpiece falls to the position to be discharged. This reciprocating process realizes the single discharge of the spring workpiece, meeting the use requirements. The device is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and can accommodate multiple spring workpieces. It can also realize the removal of a single spring workpiece when in use, thereby ensuring the functionality of the device and equipment, thereby effectively improving the work process to a certain extent and meeting the production and processing requirements.
[0023] In order to effectively complete the extrusion of the workpiece and prevent it from moving, the extrusion plate 4 includes an extrusion plate 41 and a mounting plate 42 set up above and below. The mounting plate 42 is designed in an L shape, and a U-shaped plate 421 is provided on its outside to facilitate its hinge connection with the connecting plate 31, that is, a connecting shaft is provided in the U-shaped plate 421 and the connecting plate 31 to complete the connection of the equipment components and ensure the effective transmission of the driving power. A clamping plate 422 is provided below the mounting plate 42, and a clamping groove 53 is provided in the support plate 5 corresponding to the clamping plate 422. The lower end of the clamping plate 422 is designed in a trapezoidal shape on both sides, and a deformation groove is provided in the clamping plate 422 to ensure that the clamping plate 422 can be clamped into the clamping groove 53 to ensure the equipment components. In order to ensure the connection stability between the parts, the extrusion sheet 41 includes an elastic part 411 with a loop S-shaped design and elastic properties. The establishment of the elastic part 411 is the same as the spring sheet in the prior art. On the one hand, the driving cylinder 3 can drive the extrusion plate 4 to move forward. Furthermore, a support plate 412 is provided on one side of the elastic part 411, and a tightening protrusion 413 is provided below one side of the support plate 412. The support plate 412 and the tightening protrusion 413 can fully rest on the outside of the spring workpiece to complete the extrusion and prevent it from moving, while the workpiece below the tightening protrusion 413 is not held back, and the workpiece at the bottom can be discharged from the discharge chute 52, thereby realizing the individual separation of materials and improving the functionality of the device.
[0024] In order to ensure the smoothness of each equipment component during the movement and adjustment process, a vertical slot 22 is provided in the mounting frame 2, which is compatible with the extrusion plate 4, to facilitate the longitudinal movement of the extrusion plate 4, thereby realizing the extrusion of the spring workpiece, and an observation window 26 is provided on the front side of the mounting frame 2 corresponding to the vertical slot 22. The observation window 26 can observe the situation in the channel 21, which is conducive to analyzing and solving faults and ensuring usage needs. A horizontal slot 23 is provided in the mounting frame 2 below the vertical slot 22, and is compatible with the support plate 5, providing convenience for the longitudinal movement and adjustment of the support plate 5, especially realizing free control of the on and off of the spring workpiece. Furthermore, a slide slot 24 is provided in the mounting frame 2 below the horizontal slot 23, and is compatible with the lower end of the extrusion plate 4, which can limit the longitudinal movement of the extrusion plate 4 and the support plate 5 to prevent them from deflecting and ensuring usage needs.
[0025] In order to ensure that the equipment components have good functionality, a placement slot 25 is provided on the front side of the placement frame 2, and a movable door 6 is provided in the placement slot 25, and one side of the door is hinged to the corner of the placement frame 2. Specifically, a pin hole is provided at the corner in front of the placement frame 2, and a door shaft is provided in the pin hole to facilitate the hinged connection of the movable door 6. Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the movable door 6, door shafts can be provided in both pin holes to ensure the smoothness of the falling of the spring workpiece. When material jamming occurs in the channel 21 at the movable door 6, one of the door shafts can be withdrawn, and then the movable door 6 can be opened. In this way, the stuck material can be cleaned. At the same time, the movable door 6 does not need to be separated from the placement frame 2 to prevent loss, thereby meeting usage requirements.
[0026] In order to further improve the rationality of the device, a feed pipe 7 is provided in the channel 21 above the vertical groove 22, which can be connected to the output device of the produced spring workpiece, such as a screw conveyor, so that the spring workpiece can be placed in the feed pipe 7 in a vertical state for temporary storage, and provide convenient conditions for the workpiece to be tightened. A discharge pipe 8 is provided in the channel 21 below the slide 24, which is connected to the channel 21, especially for the workpiece guided out through the discharge chute 52. In this way, when the workpiece located above is tightened, the spring workpiece on the lower side falls from the discharge chute 52 and is guided out through the discharge pipe 8, realizing the one-by-one falling of individual spring workpieces. The picking and placing process is particularly convenient and the functionality is strong.

Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes for application in other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment made according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
