[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-4 The device is an automatic nut feeding device for processing electric hardware, comprising a workbench 1 and a vibrating feeder 2, wherein the vibrating feeder 2 is mounted on the workbench 1. The device is also connected to an external PLC control center, and the PLC control center controls the opening and closing of electrical components.

[0023] A turntable 4 is also installed on the workbench 1. The turntable 4 is driven by a servo motor 8. The output end of the vibration loader 2 is connected to the turntable 4 through a feeding channel 3 to feed the nuts onto the turntable 4. The turntable 4 is provided with holes adapted to the nuts.

[0024] The workbench 1 is also provided with a positioning component for adjusting the position relationship of the nut in the hole.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, one end of the feeding channel 3 is connected to the vibrating feeder 2, and the other end is located above the turntable 4;

[0026] The feeding channel 3 is a rectangular shell and is tilted. The inlet end of the feeding channel 3 is connected to the output end of the vibration loader 2, and the outlet end of the feeding channel 3 corresponds to the hole position on the turntable 4.

[0027] The hole positions include a countersunk hole 10 and a through hole 11. The countersunk hole 10 includes a conical hole and a cylindrical hole. The outer diameter of the cylindrical hole is the same as the size of the circumscribed circle of the nut and is located below the outlet end of the feeding channel 3. The through hole 11 matches the size of the nut and is connected to the countersunk hole 10. A rubber strip that increases the friction between the through hole 11 and the nut is also provided on the inner wall of the through hole 11. The rubber head is used to increase the friction between the nut and the turntable 4.

[0028] Adjustment components: such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is used to adjust the position relationship of the nut in the hole;

[0029] The positioning assembly includes a telescopic cylinder 5 and a positioning rod 9. The telescopic cylinder 5 is installed on the workbench 1. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the positioning rod 9 through the mounting plate 6. The positioning rod 9 is driven by the positioning motor 7 to adjust the position relationship of the nut in the hole.

[0030] The facing ends of the positioning rod 9 and the turntable 4 are further provided with a main telescopic rod 12 and a secondary telescopic rod 13. The main telescopic rod 12 is coaxially arranged with the positioning rod 9, and the secondary telescopic rod 13 is provided with multiple groups and is arranged in a circular array around the main telescopic rod 12. Under the action of the telescopic cylinder 5, the main telescopic rod 12 and the secondary telescopic rod 13 are moved downward, pressing the nut to the bottom of the countersunk hole 10, and part of the secondary telescopic rod 13 is not squeezed. With the drive of the positioning motor 7, the nut is rotated so that the nut corresponds to the position of the through hole 11, and under the pressure of the main telescopic rod 12 and the secondary telescopic rod 13, the nut is embedded in the through hole 11 to prepare for subsequent processing.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: when in use, the device is connected to the power supply and to the external PLC control center. The PLC control center is used to control the opening and closing of the electrical components in the device, and the nuts to be processed are put into the vibrating loader 2, and the vibrating loader 2 is controlled to work, and the nuts are conveyed to the inlet end of the feeding channel 3. As the vibrating loader 2 continues to work, the nuts in the feeding channel 3 are discharged from the outlet end, fall into the holes on the turntable 4, and fall into the countersunk hole 10. Since the upper part of the countersunk hole 10 is a tapered hole, the nut will fall horizontally into the cylindrical hole at the lower part of the countersunk hole 10 under the action of its own gravity. At this time, the nut is located above the through hole 11.

[0032] The servo motor 8 is controlled to work and rotate, and the nut is rotated to the bottom of the positioning assembly. The telescopic cylinder 5 is controlled to work and retract, driving the mounting plate 6 and the positioning rod 9 to move downward. The main telescopic rod 12 and the auxiliary telescopic rod 13 contact the nut and retract, applying downward pressure on the nut. Since the cross section of the nut is hexagonal, part of the auxiliary telescopic rod 13 does not contact the nut. The positioning motor 7 is controlled to work and rotate, driving the positioning rod 9 to rotate, so that the uncompressed auxiliary telescopic rod 13 drives the nut to rotate, so that the nut corresponds to the position of the through hole 11, and under the elastic force of the main telescopic rod 12, the nut is embedded in the through hole 11, and under the action of the rubber strip in the through hole 11, the nut is stuck in the through hole 11, realizing automatic loading of the nut.

[0033] The electromechanical connection involved in the present invention is a common means used by those skilled in the art, and technical inspiration can be obtained through a limited number of experiments, which belongs to common knowledge.

[0034] Components not described in detail herein are prior art.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
