[0006] Both of the riveting nut feeder bodies are equipped with a cleaning mechanism inside. The cleaning mechanism includes a pressing plate, a connecting rod, a pressing plate, a pressing spring, and a cleaning wipe plate. The connecting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the riveting nut feeder body. The top of the connecting rod is vertically slidably connected to the pressing plate, and the bottom of the pressing plate is fixedly connected to the pressing spring.

[0007] Optionally, a rubber plate is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two screws, and a transmission plate is attached to the top of each of the two rubber plates.

[0008] Optionally, the top of the mounting bracket is provided with three drive wheels, and a drive belt is sleeved between the three drive wheels.

[0009] Optionally, the bottom end of the motor is fixedly connected to the top end of the mounting bracket, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the inner side of one of the transmission wheels.

[0014] This utility model provides a riveting nut feeder, which has the following advantages:

[0015] The main body of this riveting nut feeder features an anti-blocking mechanism. When the user needs to use the feeder, they can start the motor. The motor's output drives one of the drive wheels to rotate, which in turn drives the other two drive wheels via a transmission belt. The rotation of these two drive wheels drives two transmission rods, which in turn rotate two transmission plates. These transmission plates are elliptical in shape. When they rotate, the longer end of the transmission plate presses against a rubber plate. This pressure on the rubber plate presses against a screw, which in turn drives a striking rod to strike the feeding tube. This vibration in the feeding tube prevents the riveting nuts from becoming blocked or stuck, thus avoiding jamming or failure to feed smoothly. Furthermore, it cleans the feeding tube. Inside the feed tube, impurities on the inner wall of the feed tube are knocked out, reducing feeding difficulties caused by dust or impurities. Combined with the cleaning mechanism, when the user needs to clean the riveting nut feeder body, they can press the pressure plate. The pressure plate, when squeezed, causes the compression spring to descend, and the spring's elasticity pushes the compression plate, ensuring the cleaning wiper is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the riveting nut feeder body. The user can then repeatedly rotate the pressure plate, allowing the cleaning wiper to clean the inner wall of the riveting nut feeder body, effectively removing oil and impurities. The cleaning wiper prevents oil buildup on the inner wall, ensuring the riveting nut feeder body remains clean and operates normally for extended periods. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a technical solution: a riveting nut feeder, including a processing table 1, with a mounting support 5 fixedly connected to the top of the processing table 1. Riveting nut feeder bodies 2 are provided on both sides of the top of the mounting support 5. An anti-blocking mechanism 4 is provided on the top of the mounting support 5. The anti-blocking mechanism 4 includes a transmission belt 401, a limiting plate 402, a motor 403, a fixing block 404, a striking rod 405, a limiting seat 406, a return spring 407, a screw 408, and rubber... The system comprises a plate 409, a transmission plate 410, a transmission rod 411, a limiting rod 412, and a transmission wheel 413. Each of the two striking rods 405 has a limiting seat 406 fitted at one end. A fixing block 404 is fixedly connected to both sides of each limiting seat 406. A return spring 407 is fitted in the middle of each striking rod 405. One end of each return spring 407 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the two limiting seats 406, and the top ends of each return spring 407 are fixedly connected to the two striking rods. Inside the rod 405, the top ends of both striking rods 405 are threaded with screws 408, the top ends of both screws 408 are fixedly connected with rubber plates 409, and the top ends of both rubber plates 409 are attached to transmission plates 410. The top of the mounting bracket 5 is provided with three transmission wheels 413, and a transmission belt 401 is sleeved between the three transmission wheels 413. The bottom end of the motor 403 is fixedly connected to the top end of the mounting bracket 5, and the output end of the motor 403 is fixedly connected to one of the transmission wheels. On the inner side of wheel 413, transmission rods 411 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of two transmission plates 410. The inner sides of the two transmission rods 411 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the other two transmission wheels 413 respectively. Feeding pipes 6 are connected to the front of the two rivet nut feeder bodies 2. The bottom ends of the two striking rods 405 are respectively attached to the top ends of the two feeding pipes 6. Multiple limiting plates 402 are fixedly connected to the top end of the mounting support 5. The fixing block 404 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limiting plate 402.

[0025] In the above components, when the user needs to adjust the striking force, the user can rotate the screw 408, which increases the length of the striking rod 405. When the transmission plate 410 squeezes the rubber plate 409, the length of the striking rod 405 increases, thereby increasing the striking force.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, each of the two riveting nut feeder bodies 2 is further provided with a cleaning mechanism 3. The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a pressing plate 301, a connecting rod 302, a pressing plate 303, a pressing spring 304, and a cleaning wiper 305. The connecting rod 302 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the riveting nut feeder body 2. The top of the connecting rod 302 is vertically slidably connected to the pressing plate 301. The bottom end of the pressing plate 301 is fixedly connected to the pressing spring 304. The bottom end of the pressing spring 304 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 303. The bottom end of the pressing plate 303 is fixedly connected to the cleaning wiper 305.

[0027] In the above components, the cleaning wipe plate 305 is made of cleaning sponge, and the elasticity of the compression spring 304 can compress the compression plate 303 so that the cleaning wipe plate 305 always fits against the inner wall of the rivet nut feeder body 2, thereby reducing cleaning dead corners.

[0028] In summary, when using the riveting nut feeder body 2, the user can start the motor 403. The output end of the motor 403 drives one of the transmission wheels 413 to rotate. This transmission wheel 413, through the transmission belt 401, causes the other two transmission wheels 413 to rotate. When the other two transmission wheels 413 rotate, they respectively drive the two transmission rods 411, causing the two transmission plates 410 to rotate. The transmission plate 410 is elliptical. When it rotates, the longer end of the transmission plate 410 will press against the rubber plate 409. The rubber plate 409, when pressed, will press against the screw 408. The screw 408 will then drive the striking rod 405 to strike the feeding tube 6, causing the feeding tube 6 to vibrate. This can prevent the riveting nuts from becoming blocked or obstructed, thus avoiding jamming or failure to feed them smoothly. The cleaning plate 305 can clean the inside of the feeding tube 6, knocking out impurities from the inner wall of the feeding tube 6, reducing feeding problems caused by dust or impurities. With the cleaning mechanism 3, when the user needs to clean the riveting nut feeder body 2, the user can press the pressing plate 301. When the pressing plate 301 is squeezed, it drives the compression spring 304 to fall. The elastic force of the compression spring 304 pushes the compression plate 303. The compression plate 303 can make the cleaning plate 305 stick tightly to the inner wall of the riveting nut feeder body 2. Then the user can repeatedly rotate the pressing plate 301, and the cleaning plate 305 can clean the inner wall of the riveting nut feeder body 2, thereby effectively removing oil and impurities from the inner wall of the riveting nut feeder body 2. The cleaning plate 305 can prevent oil from accumulating on the inner wall, ensuring that the riveting nut feeder body 2 remains clean and operates normally for a long time.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
