Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for copper nuts. Background Technology

[0002] A copper nut is a nut made of copper or a copper alloy, and it has the following characteristics and applications:

[0003] Features: Good electrical and thermal conductivity: Copper nuts can effectively conduct current and heat, making them suitable for applications requiring good thermal conductivity or electrical connections.

[0004] Rust resistance: Copper does not easily rust and is suitable for humid or corrosive environments.

[0005] Lower hardness: Copper nuts have relatively low hardness, making them easier to process, but this also means that their strength and wear resistance may not be as good as steel nuts.

[0006] Machinability: Copper is relatively soft and easy to machine, such as turning and drilling.

[0007] Appearance: Copper nuts have a unique metallic luster and are sometimes used in occasions where a decorative effect is desired.

[0008] Chinese patent CN 221134761 U discloses an automatic copper nut feeding device, including a worktable. A base is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the worktable, a column is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the base, and a mounting block is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the column. The outer wall of the mounting block has two movable slots, each slidably connected to one end of a movable rod. By setting a mounting base on the top surface of the base block, a micro motor is installed inside the base block, and a drive structure is installed inside the mounting base. The movable rod can rotate through the drive structure inside the mounting base, making it easier to align the nut when the movable clamp places it. A vibration motor is independently installed inside the vibration groove, so that when the movable clamp places the nut in the vibration groove, vibration can adjust the nut's position, making the nut flat. This ensures that the movable clamp can then grip the nut horizontally again, thus improving the convenience and practicality of the device.

[0009] The aforementioned device, through the installation of a vibration motor, can adjust the position of the nut by vibrating when the movable clamp places the nut in the vibration groove, so that the nut is laid flat, thereby allowing the movable clamp to grip the nut horizontally again. This improves the convenience and practicality of the equipment. In addition, in the prior art, the thread depth of copper nuts needs to be detected before feeding, but the prior art cannot reduce manual labor when feeding copper nuts, thus reducing the efficiency of copper nut feeding.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 5 An automatic copper nut feeding device includes a housing 1, a vibrating feeding plate assembly is provided on the top of the housing 1, a tooth depth detection mechanism is provided on one side of the vibrating feeding plate assembly, a mounting base 2 is provided on the top of the housing 1 and is located on one side of the vibrating feeding plate assembly, a first mounting frame 3 is provided on the top of the housing 1, a horizontal moving component is provided on the first mounting frame 3, and a robotic arm picking component 4 is provided at the drive end of the horizontal moving component;

[0030] A second mounting bracket 5 is provided on one side of the mounting base 2. A horizontal moving device is provided on the second mounting bracket 5. A robotic arm moving component 6 is provided at the drive end of the horizontal moving device. A swivel plate positioning assembly station is installed on the mounting base 2.

[0031] In use, this device allows copper nuts to be placed in a vibrating feeding tray assembly for feeding. The vibrating feeding tray assembly then discharges the copper nuts, and a horizontal moving component drives a robotic arm picking component 4 to pick them up. The copper nuts are then moved to a tooth depth detection mechanism for inspection. Finally, a horizontal moving device drives a robotic arm moving component 6 to move the inspected copper nuts to a swivel plate positioning and assembly station for assembly. Compared to existing technologies, this device, through its vibrating feeding tray assembly, robotic arm picking component 4, and robotic arm moving component 6, can automatically feed, inspect, separate, and assemble copper nuts, saving time and costs. This reduces manual labor and improves efficiency, solving the problem of insufficient manual labor and low efficiency in copper nut feeding in existing technologies.

[0032] Furthermore, the vibrating feeding tray assembly includes a vibrator 7, a hopper 8, and a feeding tray 9. The vibrator 7 is installed inside the housing 1, and the vibrating end of the vibrator 7 extends through the housing 1 to the top of the housing 1. The hopper 8 is connected to the vibrating end of the vibrator 7 through a buffer assembly. The feeding tray 9 is installed above the hopper 8 and is provided with a straight discharge groove 10. Copper nuts can be placed in the hopper 8, and then the vibrator 7 drives the hopper 8 to vibrate, causing the copper nuts to move out of the straight discharge groove 10 on the feeding tray 9. In this way, the copper nuts can be clamped onto the tooth depth detection mechanism by the horizontal moving assembly.

[0033] Furthermore, the tooth depth detection mechanism includes two placement seats 11 and two thread gauges 12. The two placement seats 11 are disposed on the housing 1 and are located on one side of the vibrating feeding tray assembly. The two thread gauges 12 are respectively disposed on the corresponding placement seats 11. The two thread gauges 12 are a go gauge and a no-go gauge, respectively. The go gauge is used to detect the maximum size of the thread, and the no-go gauge is used to detect the minimum size of the thread. By placing the copper nut on the thread gauges 12, the maximum size and minimum size of the copper nut's thread can be detected.

[0034] Furthermore, the horizontal movement component includes a first cylinder 13 and a first slide rail 14. The first slide rail 14 is disposed on one side of the first mounting bracket 3, and the first cylinder 13 is disposed on the side of the first mounting bracket 3.

The driving end of the first cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the robotic arm material handling component 4. Through the first cylinder 13, the robotic arm material handling component 4 can be driven to move on the first slider 19, thereby adjusting the position of the robotic arm material handling component 4 and moving the copper nut to the tooth depth detection mechanism.

[0035] Furthermore, the horizontal moving device includes a rotary motor 15, a ball screw 16, and a second slide rail 17. The ball screw 16 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting frame 5. The rotary motor 15 is located on one side of the second mounting frame 5, and the drive end of the rotary motor 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the ball screw 16.

The robotic arm moving component 6 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 17, and one end of the robotic arm moving component 6 is threadedly connected to the ball screw 16. The rotary motor 15 can drive the ball screw 16 to rotate, thereby driving the robotic arm moving component 6 to move on the second slide rail 17. This allows the copper nut to be gripped and moved to the swivel plate positioning assembly station for assembly.

[0036] Furthermore, the placement and assembly station includes a placement frame 18, a slider 19, a guide rod 20, and a second cylinder 21. The placement frame 18 is mounted on the mounting base 2, the guide rod 20 is mounted on the placement frame 18, the second cylinder 21 is mounted inside the placement frame 18, the slider 19 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 20, and a placement plate 22 is mounted above the slider 19. The driving end of the second cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 19.
