The stop bar is inclined, and a slide is provided on one side of the spiral guide rail, located below the stop bar. One end of the slide is connected to the spiral guide rail, and the other end extends towards the bottom of the vibratory feeder. When the conveyed part is in an upright position, the part is blocked from moving forward by the stop bar. The continuously conveyed parts from behind push the part into the slide along the inclined angle of the stop bar, and then it falls back into the bottom of the vibratory feeder, restarting its conveying along the spiral guide rail. This design effectively controls the movement of the conveyed parts. The orientation and position of the parts can be determined without manual assistance, thus saving a lot of labor costs and reducing the defect rate caused by human error. The other end of the conveyor rail extends into the machine base and has a side opening for material discharge. The clamping assembly includes a pneumatic chuck and a spindle.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] To more clearly illustrate the structural features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0015] This embodiment: as follows Figure 1As shown, an automatic feeder for parts processing includes a base 10, a vibrating plate 20 at the upper end of the base 10, a spiral guide rail 21 inside the vibrating plate 20, a stop bar (not shown) at the upper end of the spiral guide rail 21, the stop bar being inclined, a slide 22 on one side of the spiral guide rail 21, the slide 22 being below the stop bar, one end of the slide 22 being connected to the spiral guide rail 21, and the other end of the slide 22 extending towards the bottom of the vibrating plate 20. When the conveyed parts are in an upright state, because they exceed the space between the spiral guide rail 21 and the stop bar, the parts are blocked from moving forward by the stop bar. The parts continuously conveyed from behind push the parts into the slide 22 along the inclined angle of the stop bar, and fall back into the bottom of the vibrating plate 20 through the slide 22, and start conveying along the spiral guide rail 21 again. This can effectively control the direction and position of the parts, without the need for manual operation, thereby saving a lot of labor costs and reducing the defect rate caused by human error.

[0016] The front end and right side of the base 10 are open. A clamping assembly is installed inside the base 10. The discharge port of the spiral guide rail 21 is connected to a conveying guide rail 30. The inlet of the conveying guide rail 30 is connected to the discharge port of the spiral guide rail 21. The other end of the conveying guide rail 30 extends into the base 10 and has a side opening 31 for discharge. The clamping assembly includes a pneumatic chuck 32 and a main shaft 33. The pneumatic chuck 32 and the side opening 31 are arranged opposite each other. The pneumatic chuck 32 is connected to a chuck cylinder that drives it to extend towards the side opening 31. The main shaft 33 is located on one side of the side opening 31 and is connected to a clamping head. An inclined plate 34 is located below the main shaft 33, tilting downwards from back to front. A suction nozzle 35 is located on one side of the pneumatic chuck 32. Both the suction nozzle 35 and the pneumatic chuck 32 are connected to a displacement module 36 for driving their movement. Both the suction nozzle 35 and the pneumatic chuck 32 are located on the machine... On the right side of the machine base 10, which is in an open state, it is convenient to inspect and maintain the suction nozzle 35 and the pneumatic chuck 32. At the same time, the suction nozzle 35 and the pneumatic chuck 32 can also be driven by an external drive device. The machine base 10 is also equipped with a discharge conveyor belt 37. One end of the discharge conveyor belt 37 is located on one side of the main shaft 33, and the other end of the discharge conveyor belt 37 extends out of the machine base 10. When the part is transported to the side opening 31, the pneumatic chuck 32 clamps it and moves it to the main shaft 33. The clamping head of the main shaft 33 clamps the part for processing. The debris generated during processing falls out of the front end of the open machine base 10 through the inclined plate 34 and is collected by the collection device to prevent excessive debris from clogging the machine base 10. At the same time, it can effectively prevent the debris generated during processing from scattering outward. The processed part is sucked by the suction nozzle 35 and moved to the discharge conveyor belt 37 for discharge.

[0017] This device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has a high degree of automation, meeting the usage requirements.

[0018] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made to the above embodiments based on the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
