Through the cooperation of the blanking cylinder 311, the pushing cylinder 331 and the cutting cylinder 34, the qualified products and unqualified products can be collected respectively.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the shell 1 is mounted with a control panel 4, which is electrically connected to the blanking cylinder 311, the pushing cylinder 331 and the cutting cylinder 34, and is used for automatically collecting good products and defective products respectively. In order to facilitate the operation of the device, the control panel 4 is used to control the operation of the blanking cylinder 311, the pushing cylinder 331 and the cutting cylinder 34. Through the cooperation of the blanking cylinder 311, the pushing cylinder 331 and the cutting cylinder 34, the qualified products and unqualified products can be collected respectively.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the shell 1 is mounted with a control panel 4, which is electrically connected to the blanking cylinder 311, the pushing cylinder 331 and the cutting cylinder 34, and is used for automatically collecting good products and defective products respectively. In order to facilitate the operation of the device, the control panel 4 is used to control the operation of the blanking cylinder 311, the pushing cylinder 331 and the cutting cylinder 34.

[0033] In actual use, the screw moves to the receiving block 31, and is pushed to the position of the optical fiber detection block 32 by the pushing cylinder 331. The screw is detected by the optical fiber detection block 32. The qualified screw will fall through the good product discharge hole 9 into the good product collection bin 7, and vice versa. The unqualified screw will fall through the defective product discharge hole 10 into the defective product collection bin 6, which is convenient for classification and collection of screws.

[0034] In order to ensure stable use of the device, support rods 12 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the shell 1. The support rods 12 are arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the shell 1. The device is supported by the support rods 12, so that the device can be used stably and the feeding effect of the screws is improved.

[0035] Specifically, the working process or working principle of the screw feeder is that the screw moves at a relatively fast speed on the feeder, and it is difficult for the workers to distinguish between good and bad materials only by naked eye, which will make all the screws move to the processing equipment for processing. If the end of the feeder is a machine that sucks and screws, it is easy to cause the product to have a slippery tooth, not tight or directly damage the product, resulting in loss. Therefore, the device is designed to solve this problem.

[0036] The device can identify good or bad screws according to the length of the screws when feeding the screws, short screws cannot meet the use, and multiple cylinders are set plus the optical fiber detection block 32, which can identify the length of the screws, classify and collect screws of different lengths to meet the use, the specific operation is, connect the external power supply, place the screws in the feeding track 2, the screws slide in the feeding track 2 and slide onto the receiving block 31, at the beginning, the pushing cylinder 331 drives the pushing plate 33 to move to the position corresponding to the screw, at this time, the screw moves to the recessed position of the pushing plate 33, then the pushing plate 33 is controlled to move by the pushing cylinder 331, the screw is moved to the detection area to detect the quality of the screw.

[0037] The device detects the length of the screw through the optical fiber detection block 32, sets the qualified length, detects the length of the screw through the optical fiber detection block 32, when the detected screw length is consistent with the pre-set length, the retracting end of the cutting cylinder 34 is retracted, and the pushing block 312 is driven by the feeding cylinder 311 to move back, so that the good screw can be moved to the inside of the good product collecting bin 7, and slides out through the unloading bin 8, which is convenient for collection and use.

[0038] On the contrary, when the length of the screw moved to the position of the optical fiber detection block 32 is less than the set length, first, the retracting end of the cutting cylinder 34 is extended, the screw is placed to fall into the inside of the good product collecting bin 7, then the pushing block 312 is driven by the feeding cylinder 311 to move back, so that the bad screw is controlled to fall into the inside of the bad product collecting bin 6, and the bad screw is collected.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, the device can identify qualified screws, and collect good and bad products respectively, which can be collected and used respectively, avoid mixing together, also avoid damaging the used machine, and avoid causing loss.

[0040] The optical fiber detection block 32 in the device includes a light emitting probe and a fiber amplifier, and the light emitting probe selects FT-S25 of Huayifeng, and the fiber amplifier selects FR-J15N-UC.

[0041] It should be noted that the feeding cylinder 311, the pushing cylinder 331 and the cutting cylinder 34 are devices or equipment existing in the prior art, or devices or equipment that can be realized in the prior art, and their power supply, specific composition and principle are clear to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail.
