[0030] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-5 As shown, a nut loading device for a plastic mold is provided, comprising a workbench 10, a discharge plate 20, and a material removal mechanism. The discharge plate 20 is arranged on the side of the workbench 10. A discharge trough 21 for placing nuts is provided on the discharge plate 20. A material removal trough 22 is provided on the discharge plate 20, and the material removal trough 22 is located on one side of the discharge trough 21. The material removal mechanism is arranged on one side of the discharge plate 20, and is used to clamp the nuts in the material removal trough 22. The material removal mechanism includes a movable module 30 and a material removal component 31. The movable module 30 is arranged on the outside of the discharge plate 20. The material removal component 31 is arranged on the movable module 30, and is used to clamp the nuts in the material removal trough 22.

[0032] By setting a discharge plate 20 and a picking mechanism, the nuts fall from the discharge trough 21 into the picking trough 22 under the action of gravity, and the picking component 31 moves to one side of the picking trough 22 under the action of the moving module 30, and takes the nuts out of the picking trough 22, and then puts the nuts into the mold, thereby realizing the automatic clamping and placement of the nuts. Compared with manual operation, the phenomenon of missing or misplaced nuts is reduced, the accuracy of nut placement is improved, the operation process of nut placement is simplified, and the efficiency of nut placement is improved.

[0033] Preferably, the discharge trough 21 is vertically disposed in the center of the top of the discharge plate 20. The discharge trough 21 is perpendicular to the extraction trough 22. The extraction trough 22 is preferably 1-1.5 times the height of the nut. By setting the extraction trough 22 to 1-1.5 times the height of the nut, the extraction trough 22 can only remove one nut at a time, avoiding the need to remove multiple nuts at once, thereby ensuring accurate nut placement.

[0034] Furthermore, the discharge trough 21 has a circular cross-section, and the distal end of the discharge trough 21 extends to the top of the material extraction trough 22. The distal end of the discharge trough 21 is connected to the top of the material extraction trough 22. The circular cross-section of the discharge trough 21 ensures the stability of the nut within the discharge trough 21 and prevents the nut from getting stuck due to shape mismatch.

[0035] Preferably, the unloading plate 20 is detachably connected to the workbench 10. A magnetic component is provided between the unloading plate 20 and the workbench 10. By providing the magnetic component, the unloading plate 20 and the workbench 10 can be quickly fixed, which facilitates subsequent fixation between the two.

[0036] Specifically, the magnetic attraction component includes a first magnet 41 and a second magnet 42. The first magnet 41 is positioned on the workbench 10. The second magnet 42 is positioned at the bottom of the unloading plate 20, with the first magnet 41 and the second magnet 42 positioned opposite each other. The first magnet 41 and the second magnet 42 enable quick fastening between the unloading plate 20 and the workbench 10, achieving initial fastening and facilitating subsequent fastening.

[0037] Furthermore, the unloading plate 20 and the workbench 10 are fixed by means of locking screws to ensure the stability of the unloading plate 20 on the workbench 10 and avoid nut placement errors caused by vibration or external force interference.

[0038] Furthermore, a quick-disassembly assembly for rapid disassembly is provided between the discharge plate 20 and the workbench 10. By arranging the quick-disassembly assembly, the discharge plate 20 can be easily replaced to adapt to nuts of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the nut-installing device.

[0039] Furthermore, the quick-release assembly includes a connecting rod 50 and a locking ring 51. The connecting rod 50 is fixed to one side of the workbench 10 and is located outside the first magnet 41. The locking ring 51 is sleeved on the connecting rod 50 and contacts the outside of the discharge plate 20. The connecting rod 50 is provided with an upwardly protruding limit portion 501, and a movable portion for rotating the locking ring 51 is provided between the limit portion 501 and the discharge plate 20. The locking ring 51 is provided with a connecting portion 512 corresponding to the limit portion 501. The locking ring 51 is provided with a limit block 511, which is located on one side of the connecting portion 512. The unloading plate 20 is initially secured to the workbench 10 via a magnetic attraction. The connecting portion 512 on the locking ring 51 is aligned with the limiting portion 501 of the connecting rod 50, the locking ring 51 is moved into the movable portion, and the locking ring 51 is rotated so that the limiting block 511 on the locking ring 51 contacts the side of the limiting portion 501, thereby quickly securing the unloading plate 20 to the workbench 10. For removal, the locking ring 51 is moved in the opposite direction, aligning the connecting portion 512 with the limiting portion 501, and then removed from the connecting rod 50. This completes the quick removal of the unloading plate 20 from the workbench 10, simplifying the steps for securing and removing the unloading plate 20 from the workbench 10 and improving the efficiency of replacing the unloading plate 20.

[0040] Preferably, the mobile module 30 is a mobile manipulator. The material picking mechanism includes a picking drive 311 and two sets of clamping plates 312. The picking drive 311 is a two-finger cylinder connected to the output end of the mobile module 30. The two sets of clamping plates 312 are respectively connected to the output ends of the picking drive 311. The picking drive 311 drives the clamping plates 312 to clamp the nuts in the picking trough 22. Under the action of the mobile module 30, the picking drive 311 and clamping plates 312 are moved to a predetermined position, realizing automatic picking and placement of nuts, reducing nut placement errors caused by manual operation.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention is disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with the profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of the above-disclosed technical contents without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
