DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The embodiment and the related details and working principles of the application are described below in combination with the drawings. X axis is longitudinal and also front-rear direction, and Y axis is transverse and also left-right direction.

[0033] The feeding mechanism of the bridge filter processing equipment includes the upper spring device 1 and the upper valve ball device 2. The upper spring device 1 includes the feeding clamp 4, the first material receiving part 5 and the spring conveying component. The spring conveying component includes the first vibrator 7 and the first material blocking part 14. The first vibrator 7 is provided with the first conveying channel 3. The first conveying channel 3 is downwardly inclined. The first conveying channel 3 discharge port is low. The first material blocking part 14 is arranged at the discharge end of the first conveying channel 3 and enters and exits the first conveying channel 3. The first material receiving part 5 is vertically rotatably arranged at the discharge port of the first conveying channel 3. The first material receiving part 5 includes the body and the material receiving part. The discharge port of the first conveying channel 3 is the material receiving station, and the upper portion of the first material receiving part 5 is the transfer station. The feeding clamp 4 moves between the transfer station and the spring feeding station. See the attached Figure 1 The spring feeding station corresponds to the pressure relief valve housing 22. The spring feeding station and the transfer station are transversely arranged side by side. The feeding clamp 4 only needs to be lifted and transversely moved to send the spring in the transfer station to the pressure relief valve housing 22 in the spring feeding station. Thus, the feeding clamp 4 has a short moving stroke and fast feeding speed. The feeding clamp 4 can adopt a conventional pneumatic clamp. The feeding clamp 4 is installed on the first moving seat 8. The first moving seat 8 moves transversely and is lifted and lowered. The first moving seat 8 is driven to move transversely and be lifted and lowered to realize the transverse movement and lifting of the feeding clamp 4.

[0034] The first material receiving part 5 can adopt a material receiving groove 9 or a material receiving column. If it is a material receiving column, the spring is sleeved outside the material receiving column. In the figure, the material receiving part is a material receiving groove 9 for receiving the spring. The depth of the material receiving groove 9 is less than the length of the spring. After the spring enters the material receiving groove 9, part of the spring is exposed outside the material receiving groove 9, and the exposed part is used for clamping by the feeding clamp 4. The spring conveying part further comprises a second material blocking part 15. The first material blocking part 14 is close to the discharge port of the first conveying channel 3 relative to the second material blocking part 15. The spacing between the first material blocking part 14 and the second material blocking part 15 is not less than the length of the spring and less than the total length of two springs. When the spring is discharged, the first material blocking part 14 exits the first conveying channel 3, and the second material blocking part 15 enters the first conveying channel 3. After the spring is discharged, the first material blocking part 14 enters the first conveying channel 3, and the second material blocking part 15 exits the first conveying channel 3. Through the cooperation of the first material blocking part 14 and the second material blocking part 15, it is ensured that one spring is output at a time. At the same time, in order to avoid the phenomenon that the feeding clamp 4 is empty and no spring is in the pressure relief valve shell 22, the spring conveying part further comprises a first sensor 11 for detecting whether there is material between the first material blocking part 14 and the second material blocking part 15. The first material receiving part 5 is provided with a second sensor 12 for detecting whether there is material in the material receiving groove 9. The first sensor 11 and the second sensor 12 are connected with the controller. The sensor can adopt a photosensitive sensor. When the first sensor 11 collects that there is material between the first material blocking part 14 and the second material blocking part 15, the second material blocking part 15 enters the first conveying channel 3 to block the subsequent spring. When the second sensor 12 collects that there is material in the material receiving groove 9 of the first material receiving part 5, the feeding operation is normally carried out. When the first sensor 11 does not collect the spring, it indicates that there is no material at the discharge port. When the second sensor 12 does not collect the spring, it indicates that there is no material in the material receiving groove 9. The controller sends a command to stop the feeding operation. The feeding operation here includes clamping, moving of the feeding clamp 4 and rotating of the first material receiving part 5, and even includes operation of the electric bridge filter processing equipment. In this way, it is ensured that there is a spring every time, and the waste rate is reduced.

[0035] The upper valve ball device 2 comprises a material suction part 20, a second material receiving part 18 and a valve ball conveying part. The valve ball conveying part comprises a second conveying channel 16. The second conveying channel 16 is downwardly inclined. The discharge port of the second conveying channel 16 is low. The valve ball is spherical. Due to gravity, it can automatically move to the discharge port of the second channel. In the figure, the second conveying channel 16 is arranged on the second vibrator. The second vibrator further conveys the valve ball in the second conveying channel 16 to the discharge port. The second material receiving part 18 is arranged at the discharge port of the second conveying channel 16. The second material receiving part 18 is provided with a valve ball accommodating groove 19 for accommodating a valve ball.

See the attached Figure 1, the valve ball feeding station corresponds to the lower end cover 23, the valve ball feeding station is transversely arranged side by side with the valve ball taking station, the suction member 20 only needs to be lifted and transversely moved to send the valve ball of the valve ball taking station into the cavity of the lower end cover 23 of the valve ball feeding station, so that the stroke of the suction member 20 is short, and the feeding speed is fast. The suction member 20 is installed on the second moving seat 21, the second moving seat 21 moves transversely and lifts up and down, and the lifting up and down and transverse movement of the second moving seat 21 realizes the transverse movement and lifting of the suction member 20.

The third sensor 13 for detecting whether there is material in the valve ball accommodating groove 19 is arranged on the second receiving member 18, the third sensor 13 is connected with the controller, when the third sensor 13 collects material in the valve ball accommodating groove, normal operation is performed, when the third sensor 13 does not collect the valve ball, the controller sends an instruction to stop the feeding operation, and the feeding operation here includes the adsorption and movement of the suction member 20, and even includes the operation of the electric bridge filter processing equipment, so as to ensure that there is a valve ball for each feeding and reduce the waste rate.

[0037] The working principle of the preferred embodiment is further described below with reference to the drawings: the first vibrator 7 and the second vibrator vibrate, the spring and the valve ball move in the first conveying channel 3 and the second conveying channel 16 respectively to the discharge port, so that the discharge port has the material.

After the first receiving material 5 receives the spring, it rotates to the transfer station, the feeding clamp 4 moves downward to clamp the spring in the transfer station, and then moves upward and moves horizontally above the workpiece seat 10 in the feeding station, at this time the feeding clamp 4 corresponds to the relief valve shell 22, the feeding clamp 4 moves downward to send the spring into the relief valve shell 22, after completing the feeding, the feeding clamp 4 moves upward and moves horizontally to reset.

[0038] Similarly, the first opening of the second receiving material 18 corresponds to the discharge port of the second conveying channel 16, the valve ball enters the valve ball containing groove 19, when the third sensor 13 collects the information of the valve ball, the second receiving material 18 moves horizontally to the valve ball taking station, the discharge port of the second conveying channel 16 is blocked by the second receiving material 18, the suction material 20 moves downward to adsorb the valve ball from the second opening, and then moves upward and moves horizontally above the workpiece seat 10 in the feeding station, at this time the feeding clamp 4 corresponds to the lower end cover 23, the suction material 20 moves downward to send the valve ball into the cavity of the lower end cover 23, after completing the feeding, the suction material 20 moves upward and moves horizontally to reset.
