[0002] The bottom valve plate feeding mechanism is a support device used in the automatic assembly line of bottom valves. When assembling the bottom valve, the bottom valve plate needs to be assembled. The assembly mechanism automatically feeds the valve plate to the correct position. With the continuous development of technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for the manufacturing process of the bottom valve plate feeding mechanism.

[0003] The existing bottom valve plate feeding mechanism has certain drawbacks. First, the existing bottom valve plate feeding is usually done manually, which has poor feeding efficiency and is not conducive to human use. In addition, after the material is fed, the machine needs to be stopped and then manually fed again, which brings certain adverse effects to the actual use process. Therefore, we propose a bottom valve plate feeding mechanism. Utility Model Content

The valve plates on the internal working position feeding rod are magnetized by magnets on both sides, generating a reaction force between adjacent valve plates and creating a certain gap between them. A vacuum suction device can automatically pick up a valve plate and place it onto the working tray, making feeding simple and fast, effectively solving the problems in the background technology.

The device is equipped with a positioning bracket 7 and a fixed base 4. The fixed base 4 is positioned with a valve plate feeding rod 8. Using a rotating platform with a safety isolation plate, the valve plate feeding rod in the internal working position can work. In the external feeding position, the operator can replace the feeding rod at the same time, reducing equipment downtime and improving OEE. Under the action of magnets on both sides, the valve plates on the feeding rod in the internal working position are magnetized, and a reaction force is generated between adjacent valve plates, creating a certain gap between the two valve plates. A vacuum suction device can automatically pick up a valve plate and place it on the working tray, making feeding simple and fast.

Outside the safety isolation plate, the operator can insert the fully loaded valve plate feeding rod into the fixed seat and secure it with the indexing pin. The rotary cylinder carries the fully loaded valve plate feeding rod into the working position, while the empty feeding rod moves to the manual feeding position. Using a rotating platform with a safety isolation plate, the valve plate feeding rod in the internal working position can operate, and the operator can simultaneously replace the feeding rod at the external feeding position, reducing equipment downtime and improving OEE (Output Effectiveness). The valve plate on the feeding rod in the internal working position is magnetized by the magnets on both sides.
