[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a feeding and dispersing mechanism for an automated assembly equipment.
[0024] A feeding and dispersing mechanism for an automated assembly equipment includes a direct vibration feeding mechanism 1, a material transfer mechanism 2, and a dispersing mechanism 3. The direct vibration feeding mechanism 1 and the dispersing mechanism 3 are located on opposite sides of the material transfer mechanism 2. The material transfer mechanism 2 is used to transfer the material from the direct vibration feeding mechanism 1 to the dispersing mechanism 3. The dispersing mechanism 3 includes a workbench 4 and a frame 5. The workbench 4 is located on the top of the frame 5. A first material platform 6 is provided at both ends of the workbench 4. A first elongated hole 7 and a second elongated hole 8 are provided in the middle of the workbench 4. The first elongated hole 7 and the second elongated hole 8 are inclined to the line connecting the two first material platforms 6. A first linear displacement mechanism 9 and a second linear displacement mechanism 10 are arranged side by side on the frame 5. A second material platform 11 and a third material platform 12 are respectively provided at the output end of the first linear displacement mechanism 9 and the output end of the second linear displacement mechanism 10. The second material platform 11 and the third material platform 12 pass through the first elongated hole 7 and the second elongated hole 8, respectively.
[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the linear vibration feeding mechanism 1 feeds the fasteners, and the material transfer mechanism 2 moves the four fasteners to the first material platform 6, the second material platform 11, and the third material platform 12. Then, the second material platform 11 and the third material platform 12 are moved by the first linear displacement mechanism 9 and the second linear displacement mechanism 10, respectively. The first elongated hole 7 and the second elongated hole 8 are inclined to the line connecting the two first material platforms 6. After the first linear displacement mechanism 9 and the second linear displacement mechanism 10 complete the movement, the line connecting the second material platform 11 and the third material platform 12 is perpendicular to the line connecting the two first material platforms 6, thus completing the dispersion of the fasteners.
[0026] This invention, through the coordinated operation of the linear vibratory feeding mechanism 1, the material transfer mechanism 2, and the dispersing mechanism 3, can accurately disperse four fasteners to preset positions in one go, allowing subsequent automated equipment to simultaneously clamp and install all fasteners. Compared to the traditional method of transferring one by one, this significantly shortens the installation time and improves overall production efficiency. The inclined design of the elongated holes on the workbench 4, combined with the linear displacement mechanism, enables precise positioning of the second material platform 11 and the third material platform 12, ensuring the consistency and reliability of fastener installation. This feeding and dispersing mechanism integrates a series of operations from feeding to dispersing, reducing manual intervention, thereby simplifying the production process and reducing complexity. Accurate positioning and synchronous installation effectively prevent product quality problems caused by incorrect installation of individual fasteners, contributing to improved quality standards of the final product.
[0027] This embodiment describes a material feeding and dispersing mechanism for an automated assembly device. The material transfer mechanism 2 includes a frame 13. An electric slide rail 14 is located at the front end of the frame 13. A first connecting seat 15 is slidably mounted on the electric slide rail 14. A first driving cylinder 16 is mounted on the first connecting seat 15. The first driving cylinder 16 is vertically oriented. A second connecting seat 17 is located at the bottom of the first driving cylinder 16. Four pneumatic grippers 18 are arranged in parallel at the bottom of the second connecting seat 17. Specifically, by providing an electric slide rail 14 at the front end of the frame 13 and equipping it with a first driving cylinder 16 and four parallel pneumatic grippers 18, this design enables high-precision vertical and translational movement of materials. This not only improves the speed and accuracy of material transfer but also ensures that the four clamps can be gripped and placed simultaneously, enhancing the synchronization and efficiency of the assembly process.
[0028] The material feeding and dispersing mechanism of the automated assembly equipment described in this embodiment has a slide rail 19 at the front end of the second connecting seat 17. Four sliders 20 are slidably mounted on the slide rail 19, and each slider 20 has a connecting arm 21 at its front end. The pneumatic gripper 18 is located at the bottom of the connecting arm 21. Specifically, the slide rail 19 and slider 20 structure at the front end of the second connecting seat 17 allows each pneumatic gripper 18 to adjust its position independently, increasing flexibility. This design ensures good adaptability and accuracy even when dealing with materials of different sizes or shapes, further improving assembly quality.
[0029] The material feeding and dispersing mechanism of the automated assembly equipment described in this embodiment has positioning posts 22 on both sides of the bottom of the worktable 4. A fixed base 23 is provided at the bottom of each positioning post 22, and both ends of the fixed base 23 are connected to the bottom of the two positioning posts 22 respectively. The first linear displacement mechanism 9 and the second linear displacement mechanism 10 are both mounted on the fixed base 23. Specifically, by setting positioning posts 22 on both sides of the bottom of the worktable 4 and connecting the two positioning posts 22 with the fixed base 23, this structure provides a stable foundation for the linear displacement mechanism, ensuring its stability and accuracy during operation.
[0030] This embodiment describes a feeding and dispersing mechanism for an automated assembly equipment. The direct vibration feeding mechanism 1 includes a vibratory feeder mechanism 24, a feeding track 25, and a base 26. A limiting seat 27 is provided on the top of the base 26, and the feeding track 25 is disposed on the top of the limiting seat 27. The output end of the vibratory feeder mechanism 24 is connected to one end of the feeding track 25. Specifically, the combination of the vibratory feeder mechanism 24, the feeding track 25, and the base 26 realizes an automated and continuous feeding process. The design of the limiting seat 27 ensures that the material smoothly enters the feeding track 25 along a predetermined path. This design greatly improves the feeding speed and reliability, reduces manual intervention, and lowers production costs.
[0031] The feeding and dispersing mechanism of the automated assembly equipment described in this embodiment has connecting plates 28 on both sides of the base 26, and radio frequency optical fibers 29 on the top of each connecting plate 28, with the two radio frequency optical fibers 29 arranged opposite each other. The opposite radio frequency optical fibers 29 on both sides of the base 26 can be used to detect the presence and correctness of materials on the feeding track 25, enabling timely detection and correction of problems and ensuring smooth feeding.
[0032] The material feeding and dispersing mechanism of the automated assembly equipment described in this embodiment includes a second drive cylinder 30 mounted on the base 26. The second drive cylinder 30 is vertically oriented, and a stop block 31 is mounted at its output end. The stop block 31 is located on the outer side of the other end of the feeding track 25. Specifically, the stop block 31 driven by the second drive cylinder 30 can automatically rise and fall on the outer side of the end of the feeding track 25, thereby blocking or releasing materials.
