Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model applies to the technical field of material distribution, and particularly relates to a gasket distribution module. Background Technology

[0002] Gaskets are a common structure in industrial products. With the current trend of automated production, gaskets are usually stacked in batches. Before automated installation, individual gaskets need to be separated from the batch to meet the needs of automated production. With the continuous development of automated equipment, improving the assembly accuracy, production efficiency and reducing production costs have become hot topics in the industry.

[0003] Currently, most circular gaskets are fed using a vibratory feeder. However, for thin gaskets, the vibratory feeder has difficulty distributing the material, which can easily lead to gasket stacking. This can cause misalignment during subsequent assembly, affecting product quality and requiring rework, thus significantly impacting production efficiency and meeting production requirements.

[0004] Most existing round gaskets use a vibratory feeder method. For thin gaskets, the vibratory feeder has difficulty distributing the material, which can easily cause the gaskets to stack. This can lead to improper assembly during subsequent assembly, affecting product quality and requiring rework, which greatly impacts production efficiency and production requirements.

[0005] For example, Chinese patent CN217625778U discloses an automatic feeding vibratory feeder, which uses an automatic filling mechanism to add gaskets to bottle caps. However, it is suitable for materials with greater thickness, but it is difficult to dispense thin gaskets, and the vibratory feeder has a high equipment cost.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a gasket distribution module with a simple structure, high positioning accuracy, and high distribution efficiency, which can overcome the problem of gasket stacking during the distribution process and reduce production costs. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a gasket dispensing module with simple structure, high positioning accuracy, high dispensing efficiency, and the ability to overcome the problem of gasket stacking during the dispensing process, while reducing production costs.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model includes a mounting frame, the upper end of which is provided with a linear slide rail and a pusher cylinder arranged in a horizontal direction. A material distribution slider is slidably arranged on the linear slide rail. The actuating end of the pusher cylinder is connected to the end of the material distribution slider. The top of the material distribution slider is provided with a contour groove adapted to the product. A material hopper module is provided above the linear slide rail. The material hopper module is provided with a through hole that runs vertically through the material distribution slider. The bottom of the through hole fits tightly with the top of the material distribution slider. The size of the through hole is adapted to the size of the contour groove.

[0009] As can be seen from the above scheme, the hopper module is used to stack gaskets, the contoured groove is used to place gaskets, and the pushing cylinder drives the dispensing slider to move, thereby dispensing the gaskets and waiting for an external mechanism to remove them. The linear motion of the cylinder can effectively replace the feeding method of the vibrating disc.

[0010] It can overcome the problem of gasket stacking during the material distribution process, while reducing production costs and increasing material distribution efficiency.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the hopper module includes a U-shaped block, which is inverted and positioned at the upper end of the mounting frame. The material distribution slider is positioned below the U-shaped block. A positioning block is provided on the top of the U-shaped block, and four sets of symmetrically distributed limiting posts are provided on the top of the positioning block. Both the U-shaped block and the positioning block have through holes. The spacing between the four sets of limiting posts, the through holes of the positioning block, and the through holes of the U-shaped block are vertically connected.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a material detection sensor is provided on the top of the U-shaped block, and the material detection sensor is located on one side of the limiting post.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a material positioning sensor is provided at the end of the mounting bracket, and the material positioning sensor is located at the end of the linear slide rail away from the pusher cylinder.

[0014] A preferred embodiment is that the upper end of the mounting bracket is provided with a stop buffer, the stop buffer is located at one end of the linear slide rail near the pusher cylinder, and the stop buffer is in a limiting cooperation with the material distribution slider.

[0016] Figure 2 This is an exploded three-dimensional structural diagram of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0017] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a mounting frame 1. The upper end of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a linear slide rail 2 and a pusher cylinder 3 arranged in a horizontal direction. A material distribution slider 4 is slidably arranged on the linear slide rail 2. The actuating end of the pusher cylinder 3 is connected to the end of the material distribution slider 4. The top of the material distribution slider 4 is provided with a contour groove 5 adapted to the product. A material hopper module is provided above the linear slide rail 2. The material hopper module is provided with a through hole 6 that runs vertically through the material. The bottom of the through hole 6 fits tightly with the top of the material distribution slider 4. The size of the through hole 6 is adapted to the size of the contour groove 5. Manual or robotic arms stack the gaskets into the hopper module. The gaskets fall onto the top of the distributing slider 4 through the through hole 6. When the pushing cylinder 3 drives the distributing slider 4 to retract, the contour groove 5 and the through hole of the U-shaped block 7 are vertically connected. The gasket at the bottom of the hopper module falls into the contour groove 5. The pushing cylinder 3 drives the distributing slider 4 forward, waiting for an external mechanism to remove the gasket from the contour groove 5, thereby realizing the distributing of the gaskets.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the hopper module includes a U-shaped block 7, which is inverted and positioned at the upper end of the mounting frame 1. The material distribution slider 4 is positioned below the U-shaped block 7. A positioning block 8 is provided on the top of the U-shaped block 7, and four sets of symmetrically distributed limiting posts 9 are provided on the top of the positioning block 8. Both the U-shaped block 7 and the positioning block 8 have through holes 6. The spacing between the four sets of limiting posts 9, the through holes of the positioning block 8, and the through holes of the U-shaped block 7 are vertically connected. The limiting posts 9 are used to position the stacked pads, ensuring that the pads fall into the through holes of the positioning block 8 and the U-shaped block 7, so as to fall into the contour groove 5.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a material detection sensor 10 is provided on the top of the U-shaped block 7, and the material detection sensor 10 is located on one side of the limiting post 9. The material detection sensor 10 is used to detect the number of gaskets in the hopper. When the number of gaskets in the limiting post 9 is low, the material detection sensor 10 contacts an external host computer to remind the operator to add material to the hopper module.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a material positioning sensor 11 is provided at the end of the mounting frame 1, and the material positioning sensor 11 is located at the end of the linear slide rail 2 away from the pusher cylinder 3.

[0021] When the bottom pad of the hopper module falls into the contour groove 5, the pusher cylinder 3 drives the dispensing slider 4 forward. When the material arrival sensor 11 detects that the dispensing slider 4 has moved to the designated position, the material arrival sensor 11 is electrically connected to the external PLC controller. The external PLC controller controls the pusher cylinder 3 to continue working, thereby ensuring that the dispensing slider 4 moves to the designated position so that the external mechanism can remove the pad of the contour groove 5.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a stop buffer 12 is provided at the upper end of the mounting bracket 1. The stop buffer 12 is located at one end of the linear slide rail 2 near the pusher cylinder 3, and the stop buffer 12 is in a limiting cooperation with the material distribution slider 4.

[0023] In this embodiment, the gasket is circular in shape and has a small thickness. The bottom of the through hole of the U-shaped block 7 fits tightly with the top of the material distribution slider 4. When the pushing cylinder 3 pushes the material forward, it prevents the gasket at the bottom of the hopper module from jamming with the material distribution slider 4.
