Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, the automatic feeding mechanism includes a support frame 101; a placement frame 102 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 101; an observation plate 103 is symmetrically slidably connected to the inner side of the placement frame 102; a support block 104 is also fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 101; an internal hexagonal socket 105 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the support block 104; a serrated ring 106 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the internal hexagonal socket 105; a fixing block 107 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame 101, at the end furthest from the support block 104; the fixing block... A fixing rod 108 is fixedly connected to the middle of the support frame 107 and the end near the observation plate 103; a rotating cylinder 109 and a moving block 110 are slidably connected to the outer side of the fixing rod 108; the rotating cylinder 109 and the moving block 110 are rotatably connected; a connecting block 111 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the moving block 110; a first drive assembly is provided on the inner side of the support frame 101; a second drive assembly is provided between the fixing block 107 and the moving block 110; during operation, multiple nuts are placed on the inner side of the placement frame 102 and the observation plate 103, and then... The device is then conveyed to a designated position via a conveyor line, ensuring that the screw on the device is positioned inside the hexagonal socket 105 with its center aligned with the center of the hexagonal socket 105. Then, the second drive assembly is activated, causing the connecting block 111 to move laterally. This, in turn, causes the rotating drum 109 to move laterally, pushing the nuts on the inner sides of the placement bracket 102 and observation plate 103 to the inner side of the hexagonal socket 105 and outside the screw. Finally, the first drive assembly is activated, driving the serrated ring 106 and the inner... The hexagonal cylinder 105 rotates, connecting the nut to the screw on the device. Then, the rotation of the first drive assembly stops, and the second drive assembly is activated to operate in reverse, causing the rotating cylinder 109 to slide out from the inside of the placement frame 102 and the observation plate 103. Through gravity, the nut inside the placement frame 102 and the observation plate 103 moves downward, thus preparing for subsequent steps. This step, through the cooperation of the first drive assembly, the second drive assembly, and multiple structures, enables the automatic assembly of the nut at the designated position, providing strong support for a rapid automated assembly process.

[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown, the support frame 101 has symmetrically fixedly connected limit plates 201 on both sides of its lower end; the limit plates 201 are located inside the support frame 101 and are slidably connected to the support frame 101; the connecting block 111 has a slidably connected limit block 202 on its inner side; both ends of the limit block 202 are fixedly connected to the support frame 101; during operation, when the connecting block 111 moves laterally, it is limited by the limit plates 201 and the limit blocks 202, thereby making the lateral movement of the connecting block 111 more stable. This step, by limiting the connecting block 111 by the limit plates 201 and the limit blocks 202, effectively enhances the stability of the connecting block 111 during lateral movement, thereby further improving the overall performance and efficiency of the automatic feeding mechanism in the nut assembly process.

[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the first drive assembly includes a first servo motor 301; the first servo motor 301 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 101 near the support block 104; a connecting rod 302 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 301; the connecting rod 302 is rotatably connected to the support frame 101; a gear 303 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 302 away from the first servo motor 301; the gear 303 is meshed with a sawtooth ring 106; during operation, the first servo motor 301 is started, so that the output end of the first servo motor 301 drives the gear 303 to rotate through the connecting rod 302, and the gear 303 meshes with the sawtooth ring 106, thereby causing the sawtooth ring 106 to drive the internal hexagonal cylinder 105 to rotate.

[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the second drive assembly includes a second servo motor 401; the second servo motor 401 is fixedly connected between the fixed block 107 and the support frame 101; a threaded rod 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second servo motor 401; the threaded rod 402 is located inside the connecting block 111 and is threadedly connected to the connecting block 111; during operation, the second servo motor 401 is started, and the output end of the second servo motor 401 drives the threaded rod 402 to rotate, and the threaded rod 402 is threadedly connected to the connecting block 111, and the limiting plate 201 and the limiting block 202 limit the connecting block 111, so that the connecting block 111 drives the moving block 110 to move laterally.

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, fixing plates 501 are fixedly connected at each of the four end angles of the support frame 101; during operation, the device is fixed on the platform by means of the fixing plates 501.

[0027] like Figure 1-2As shown, a friction pad 601 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support frame 101; during operation, the friction pad 601 increases the friction between the device and the bottom of the platform, thereby increasing the stability of the device.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the observation plate 103 is made of transparent material; during operation, the transparent material of the observation plate 103 makes it easier for staff to observe the condition of the nuts on the inner side of the placement rack 102 and the observation plate 103.

[0029] The working principle is as follows: multiple nuts are placed inside the placement frame 102 and the observation plate 103. The device is then conveyed to a designated position via a conveyor line, ensuring the screw on the device is inside the hexagonal socket 105 with its center aligned with the center of the socket 105. Then, the second drive assembly is activated, causing the connecting block 111 to move laterally. This, in turn, causes the rotating drum 109 to move laterally, pushing the nuts inside the placement frame 102 and the observation plate 103 to the inside of the hexagonal socket 105 and outside the screw. Finally, the first drive assembly is activated, driving the saw... The gear ring 106 and the internal hexagonal socket 105 rotate, connecting the nut to the screw on the device. Then, the rotation of the first drive assembly stops, and the second drive assembly is activated in reverse operation, causing the rotating cylinder 109 to slide out from the inside of the placement frame 102 and the observation plate 103. Gravity causes the nut inside the placement frame 102 and the observation plate 103 to move downwards, thus preparing for subsequent steps. This step, through the cooperation of the first and second drive assemblies and multiple structures, achieves automatic assembly of the nut at a designated position, providing strong support for a rapid automated assembly process. When the connecting block 111 moves laterally, it is controlled by a limiting plate. Limiting the connection block 111 with the limiting block 202 makes the lateral movement of the connecting block 111 more stable. This step, by limiting the connection block 111 with the limiting plate 201 and the limiting block 202, effectively enhances the stability of the connecting block 111 during lateral movement, thereby further improving the overall performance and efficiency of the automatic feeding mechanism in the nut assembly process. The first servo motor 301 is started, so that the output end of the first servo motor 301 drives the gear 303 to rotate through the connecting rod 302, and the gear 303 meshes with the sawtooth ring 106, thereby causing the sawtooth ring 106 to drive the internal hexagonal cylinder 105. Rotate to start the second servo motor 401. The output end of the second servo motor 401 drives the threaded rod 402 to rotate. The threaded rod 402 is threadedly connected to the connecting block 111, and the limiting plate 201 and the limiting block 202 limit the connecting block 111, so that the connecting block 111 drives the moving block 110 to move laterally. The fixing plate 501 fixes the device on the platform. The friction pad 601 increases the friction between the device and the bottom of the platform, thereby increasing the stability of the device. The observation plate 103 is made of transparent material, making it easier for the staff to observe the status of the nuts on the inner side of the placement rack 102 and the observation plate 103.
