Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and in particular to a feeding assembly for fastener production and processing. Background Technology
[0002] With continuous social development and technological progress, mechanized, automated, and standardized production has gradually become a development trend, replacing traditional manual labor and injecting new impetus into the sustainable development of enterprises. Therefore, fastener manufacturers also need to keep pace with the times, transforming and upgrading their operations by vigorously developing automated machinery to replace traditional manual labor, thereby improving production efficiency and achieving sustainable development. Fasteners are widely used in daily life and include screws, bolts, and washers, among others.
[0003] Existing feeding assemblies mostly involve pouring washers into a hopper, where they automatically slide into a pipe below the hopper and are then conveyed through the pipe. However, during the feeding process, many washers may become misaligned and clog the hopper's discharge port, leading to poor washer conveying and reduced production efficiency. Therefore, this utility model proposes a feeding assembly for fastener production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a feeding assembly for fastener production and processing, which solves the problem in the prior art where multiple washers are misaligned during the washer feeding process, easily clogging the hopper discharge port, resulting in poor washer conveying and reduced production efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a feeding assembly for fastener production and processing, including a workbench, a support frame, a feeding pipe and a storage hopper. The support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench, and the feeding pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame. The feeding pipe has a strip groove inside, and the top of the feeding pipe has a storage hopper. A feeding mechanism is provided on the right side of the workbench, and a conveyor belt is provided on the left side of the workbench.
[0006] A further improvement is made in that: the feeding mechanism includes a cylinder, a baffle arm, a positioning plate and a limiting frame. The cylinder is fixedly installed on the right side of the cylinder, and a limiting frame is provided on the left side of the cylinder. The output end of the cylinder passes through the interior of the limiting frame and is fixedly connected to the baffle arm. The top of the baffle arm is fixedly connected to the positioning plate.
[0007] A further improvement is that the left side of the positioning plate is chamfered, and the material stop arm is composed of a rod and a ring. The width of the material stop arm is smaller than the width of the strip groove, and the inner diameter of the ring is larger than the inner diameter of the feed tube.
[0008] A further improvement is that the bottom of the storage hopper is designed as a bucket-shaped structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the bottom of the storage hopper is connected to the top of the discharge pipe.
[0009] A further improvement is that the bottom end of the feeding pipe is parallel to the right side of the conveyor belt, the top of the conveyor belt is symmetrically provided with guide plates, and a connecting mechanism is provided between the guide plates and the conveyor belt.
[0010] A further improvement is that the connecting mechanism includes a connecting plate, a connecting rod, a retaining ring, a bolt, and a nut. The connecting plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor belt. The connecting plate has a through hole inside, and the connecting rod is inserted into the through hole. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a retaining ring and a bolt, and the outer wall of the bolt is threaded with a nut.
[0011] A further improvement is that the diameter of the retaining ring is larger than the diameter of the through hole, the guide plate is rectangular in shape, and the inner sides of the two guide plates are respectively attached to the two sides of the gasket.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The left end of the internal rod of the baffle arm stops at the outlet of the bottom of the feed tube, preventing the gasket inside the feed tube from moving further downward. The cylinder drives the baffle arm to move forward, positioning the ring at the outlet of the bottom of the feed tube. The gasket at the very bottom of the feed tube falls through the inner hole of the ring, causing it to automatically fall to the right side of the conveyor belt. Simultaneously, the locking plate at the top of the baffle arm inserts into the bottom of the feed tube, preventing other gaskets from falling. Then, the cylinder drives the baffle arm to move backward. In the previous process, the left end of the internal rod of the baffle arm stopped again at the outlet of the bottom of the feed tube, the clamping plate retracted from the bottom of the feed tube, and the bottommost gasket fell to the top of the left end of the rod. The above process was repeated so that the gasket fell in an orderly manner to the right side of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt could drive the gasket to move outward according to the preset trajectory for feeding, so as to solve the problem in the existing technology that multiple gaskets are misaligned and easily block the feed port of the hopper during the gasket feeding process, resulting in poor gasket conveying and reduced production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0020] It should be noted that the structures not described in this utility model do not involve the design points and improvement directions of this utility model and all adopt existing technologies.
[0021] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this embodiment proposes a feeding assembly for fastener production and processing, including a workbench 1, a support frame 2, a feeding pipe 3, and a storage hopper 4. The support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, and the feeding pipe 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 2. The feeding pipe 3 has a strip groove 5 inside, and the storage hopper 4 is located at the top of the feeding pipe 3. A feeding mechanism is located on the right side of the workbench 1, and a conveyor belt 10 is located on the left side of the workbench 1. The bottom of the storage hopper 4 is designed as a bucket-shaped structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The bottom of the storage hopper 4 is connected to the top of the feeding pipe 3. The gaskets produced in the fastener are placed into the storage hopper 4. The gaskets move downward with the storage hopper 4 into the feeding pipe 3. The feeding mechanism controls the downward exit speed of the gaskets, so that the gaskets fall onto the conveyor belt 10 in an orderly manner. The gaskets are fed outward through the conveyor belt 10. When the gaskets enter the storage hopper 4, they enter in small batches to avoid stacking and causing blockage inside the storage hopper 4.
[0022] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a cylinder 6, a baffle arm 7, a positioning plate 8, and a limiting frame 9. The cylinder 6 is fixedly mounted on its right side, and the limiting frame 9 is located on its left side. The output end of the cylinder 6 extends through the interior of the limiting frame 9 and is fixedly connected to the baffle arm 7. The top of the baffle arm 7 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 8, which has a chamfer on its left side. The baffle arm 7 is composed of a rod and a ring. The width of the baffle arm 7 is smaller than the width of the strip groove 5, and the inner diameter of the ring is larger than the inner diameter of the feed pipe 3. Under normal conditions, the left end of the rod inside the baffle arm 7 stops at the outlet at the bottom of the feed pipe 3, preventing the feed pipe 3 from entering. As the pad continues to move downwards, cylinder 6 drives the baffle arm 7 forward, positioning the ring at the bottom outlet of the feed tube 3. The bottommost pad of the feed tube 3 falls through the inner hole of the ring, causing it to automatically fall to the right side of the conveyor belt 10. Simultaneously, the locking plate 8 at the top of the baffle arm 7 inserts into the bottom of the feed tube 3, preventing other pads from falling. Then, cylinder 6 drives the baffle arm 7 to move backwards and reset. The left end of the internal rod of the baffle arm 7 stops again at the bottom outlet of the feed tube 3, and the locking plate 8 exits from the bottom of the feed tube 3. The bottommost pad falls to the top of the left end of the rod. This process is repeated, causing the pads to fall in an orderly manner to the right side of the conveyor belt 10.
[0023] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the feed pipe 3 is vertically parallel to the right side of the conveyor belt 10. A guide plate 11 is symmetrically arranged on the top of the conveyor belt 10. A connecting mechanism is provided between the guide plate 11 and the conveyor belt 10. The connecting mechanism includes a connecting plate 12, a connecting rod 13, a retaining ring 14, a bolt 15, and a nut 16. The connecting plates 12 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor belt 10. A through hole is provided inside the connecting plate 12, and a connecting rod 13 is inserted into the through hole. A retaining ring 14 and a bolt 15 are fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 13. A nut 16 is threaded onto the outer wall of the bolt 15. The diameter of the retaining ring 14 is larger than the diameter of the through hole. The guide plate 11 is rectangular in shape. The structure consists of two guide plates 11 whose inner sides are respectively attached to the two sides of the gasket. The end of the connecting rod 13 with the bolt 15 is inserted into the interior of the connecting plate 12, and the retaining ring 14 at one end of the connecting rod 13 is attached to one side of the connecting plate 12. The nut 16 is tightened on the outside of the bolt 15. The nut 16 and the retaining ring 14 cooperate to clamp the guide plate 11 at the top of the conveyor belt 10, thereby connecting the connecting rod 13 and the connecting plate 12 into one unit. The guide plate 11 is fixed at one end of the connecting rod 13. The two guide plates 11 can be symmetrically fixed on the top of the conveyor belt 10. After the gasket falls orderly to the right side of the conveyor belt 10, the position of the gasket is restricted by the guide plate 11, and the conveyor belt 10 can drive the gasket to move outward and feed according to the preset trajectory.
[0024] In normal operation, the left end of the internal rod of the baffle arm 7 stops at the outlet of the bottom of the feed tube 3, preventing the gasket inside the feed tube 3 from moving further downward. The cylinder 6 drives the baffle arm 7 forward and positions the ring at the outlet of the bottom of the feed tube 3. The gasket at the bottom of the feed tube 3 falls through the inner hole of the ring, causing the gasket to automatically fall to the right side of the conveyor belt 10. At the same time, the locking plate 8 at the top of the baffle arm 7 inserts into the bottom of the feed tube 3, preventing other gaskets from falling. Then, the cylinder 6 drives the baffle arm 7 to move backward and reset. The left end of the internal rod of the baffle arm 7 stops at the outlet of the bottom of the feed tube 3 again, and the locking plate 8 exits from the bottom of the feed tube 3. The bottom gasket falls to the top of the left end of the rod. The above process is repeated, so that the gaskets fall orderly to the right side of the conveyor belt 10. The conveyor belt 10 can drive the gaskets to move outward and feed according to a preset trajectory.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
