Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technology of nut material distribution structure, specifically to a material distribution mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The nut conveying mechanism used in the automatic welding system is used to transport the nuts to be welded. The nut conveying mechanism is equipped with a conveying pipe with a certain slope, and the nuts are transported to the welding station in sequence under their own weight, so that they can be used in subsequent welding processes.

[0003] Current nut conveying mechanisms are only suitable for conveying square or circular nuts whose center of gravity coincides with their geometric center. Since the center of gravity of T-shaped nuts does not coincide with their geometric center, using existing nut conveying mechanisms to convey T-shaped nuts will cause the T-shaped nuts located on the conveying pipe to get stuck inside the conveying pipe. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that when using the existing nut conveying mechanism to convey T-shaped nuts, multiple T-shaped nuts are located in the conveying pipe at the same time. Due to the different postures of each T-shaped nut, the T-shaped nuts may get stuck in the conveying pipe. The purpose is to provide a material distribution mechanism that, by setting a material distribution slider, ensures that only one T-shaped nut enters the conveying pipe each time, thereby ensuring that the T-shaped nut can slide smoothly from the conveying pipe to the next process.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A material distribution mechanism includes a material platform, a material distribution slider, and a driving component. The material platform has a feeding channel and a conveying pipe connected to it, the conveying pipe communicating with the feeding channel. The material distribution slider is slidably connected to the material platform and has a discharge groove. In operation, when the material distribution slider moves upward to a set position on a material guide rail, a nut enters the discharge groove. When the material distribution slider moves downward to a set position in the discharge groove, the nut is pushed into the feeding channel by a pushing mechanism. The output end of the driving component is connected to the material distribution slider.

[0007] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that by slidably connecting the material distribution slider to the material platform and providing a material discharge groove on the material distribution slider, it is convenient that when the driving component moves the material distribution slider upward to the set position (the upper limit position of the material distribution slider) during operation, a nut located on the material slide rail enters the material discharge groove. Then, when the driving component moves the material distribution slider downward to the set position (the lower limit position of the material distribution slide), the pushing mechanism sends the nut located in the material discharge groove into the feeding channel. This ensures that only one T-shaped nut enters the conveying pipe each time, preventing multiple T-shaped nuts from being in the conveying pipe at the same time, and thus ensuring that the T-shaped nut can slide smoothly from the conveying pipe to the next process.

[0008] In some embodiments, the driving component is a distributing cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the material platform. The free end of the piston rod of the distributing cylinder is connected to the distributing slider. By providing a distributing cylinder, it is convenient to drive the distributing slider to slide up and down along the material platform.

[0009] In some embodiments, the material platform includes a guide portion, and the feeding channel is disposed on the guide portion. One side of the guide portion is connected to the conveying pipe, and the other side is slidably connected to the distributing slider. By providing the guide portion to guide the distributing slider as it moves up and down, the accuracy of the discharge trough position is improved, thereby allowing the nut to smoothly enter the discharge trough and be pushed out of it.

[0010] In some embodiments, a limiting part is provided on the material platform, the limiting part being located at the end of the material platform away from the guide part, the limiting part being block-shaped, and the sidewall of the limiting part being able to abut against the lower end of the material distributing slider. By providing a limiting part on the material platform, it is convenient to control the downward limit position of the material distributing slider, thereby determining the position of the nut when the push nut enters the feeding channel.

[0011] In some embodiments, the material platform is further provided with a mounting part, which is located on the side of the material platform away from the conveying pipe, and the pushing mechanism is mounted on the mounting part. The mounting part supports and positions the pushing mechanism, ensuring that the pushing mechanism can accurately push the nut into the conveying pipe.

[0012] In some embodiments, the pushing mechanism includes an air-blowing interface nut, the air-blowing interface nut having an air-blowing through hole in its center, the air-blowing through hole being coaxial with the feeding channel. By providing an air-blowing through hole in the center of the air-blowing interface nut, a pressurized air source can easily blow the nut located on the discharge trough into the feeding channel, and from there into the conveying pipe. Furthermore, the coaxiality of the air-blowing through hole with the feeding channel facilitates the smooth blowing of the nut into the conveying pipe.

[0013] In some embodiments, a mounting plate is further included, which is connected to the mounting portion. The mounting plate has a threaded hole, and the air-blowing interface nut is screwed into the threaded hole. The mounting plate facilitates the support and positioning of the air-blowing interface nut.

[0014] In some embodiments, the material dispensing slider is elongated, and the material feeding groove is disposed in the middle of one side of the material dispensing slider. The thickness of the material feeding groove is less than the diameter of the nut. When the material dispensing slider abuts against the limiting part, the geometric center of the material feeding groove is located on the extension line of the axis of the feeding channel. By making the thickness of the material feeding groove less than the diameter of the nut, it is possible for only one nut to be located in the material feeding groove. When the material dispensing slider abuts against the limiting part, the geometric center of the material feeding groove is located on the extension line of the axis of the feeding channel, which facilitates the nut to enter from the middle of the feeding channel, prevents the nut from interfering with the side wall of the feeding channel, and ensures that the nut can smoothly enter the feeding channel.

[0015] In some embodiments, the material distribution slider further includes a nut pressing part located at the upper end of the discharge groove. When the material distribution slider moves downward, the nut pressing part abuts against the nut located on the material distribution slider that is about to enter the feed channel. By providing a nut pressing part on the material distribution slider, during operation, the nut pressing part can both prevent the nut located in the discharge groove from moving upward under inertia and abut against the nut located on the material distribution slider that is about to enter the discharge groove (preventing it from falling off the material distribution slider).

[0016] In some embodiments, the material dispensing slider further includes an anti-jamming groove, which is vertically arranged and located on the side of the material dispensing slider away from the guide portion. By providing an anti-jamming groove on the material dispensing slider, interference between the mounting plate and the material dispensing slider is prevented when the material dispensing slider moves up and down, ensuring that the material dispensing slider can move up and down smoothly.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. When the drive component moves the material distribution slider upward to the set position (the upper limit position of the material distribution slider), a nut located on the material slide rail enters the discharge groove. Then, when the drive component moves the material distribution slider downward to the set position (the lower limit position of the material distribution slide), the pushing mechanism sends the nut located in the discharge groove into the feeding channel. This ensures that only one T-shaped nut enters the conveying pipe each time, preventing multiple T-shaped nuts from being in the conveying pipe at the same time, and thus ensuring that the T-shaped nut can slide smoothly from the conveying pipe to the next process.

[0019] 2. The thickness of the feeding groove is less than the diameter of the nut, so that only one nut can be located in the feeding groove. When the material distribution slider is abutting against the limiting part, the geometric center of the feeding groove is located on the extension line of the axis of the feeding channel, so that the nut can enter from the middle of the feeding channel, preventing the nut from interfering with the side wall of the feeding channel and ensuring that the nut can enter the feeding channel smoothly.

[0020] 3. By setting anti-jamming grooves on the material distribution slider, interference between the mounting plate and the material distribution slider is prevented when the material distribution slider moves up and down, ensuring that the material distribution slider can move up and down smoothly.

[0032] Example

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a material distribution mechanism, including a material platform 2, a material distribution slider 3, and a driving component. The material platform 2 is provided with a feeding channel 21 and a material conveying pipe 1 connected to it, which communicates with the feeding channel 21. The material distribution slider 3 is slidably connected to the material platform 2 and is provided with a discharge groove 33. In the working state, when the material distribution slider 3 moves upward to a nut located on the material slide rail 5, the nut is fed into the discharge groove 33. When the material distribution slider 3 moves downward to a nut located in the discharge groove 33, the nut is pushed into the feeding channel 21 by a pushing mechanism. The output end of the driving component is connected to the material distribution slider 3.

[0034] See Figures 1-4The driving component is a material distributing cylinder 7, which is fixedly connected to the material platform 2. The free end of the piston rod of the material distributing cylinder 7 is connected to the material distributing slider 3. By setting the material distributing cylinder 7, it is convenient to drive the material distributing slider 3 to slide up and down along the material platform 2.

[0035] See Figures 1-4 The material platform 2 includes a guide portion 24, and the feeding channel 21 is disposed on the guide portion 24. One side of the guide portion 24 is connected to the conveying pipe 1, and the other side is slidably connected to the distributing slider 3. By setting the guide portion 24 to guide the distributing slider 3 when it moves up and down, the accuracy of the position of the discharge trough 33 is improved, thereby allowing the nut to smoothly enter the discharge trough 33 and be pushed out of the discharge trough 33.

[0036] See Figures 1-4 The material platform 2 is provided with a limiting part 22, which is located at the end of the material platform 2 away from the guide part 24. The limiting part 22 is block-shaped, and its sidewall can abut against the lower end of the material distributing slider 3. By providing the limiting part 22 on the material platform 2, it is convenient to control the downward limit position of the material distributing slider 3, thereby determining the position of the nut when it enters the feeding channel 21.

[0037] See Figures 1-4 The material platform 2 is also provided with a mounting part 23, which is located on the side of the material platform 2 away from the material conveying pipe 1. The pushing mechanism is mounted on the mounting part 23. The mounting part 23 is provided to support and position the pushing mechanism, so as to ensure that the pushing mechanism can accurately push the nut into the material conveying pipe 1.

[0038] See Figures 1-4 The pushing mechanism includes an air-blowing interface nut 6, which has an air-blowing through hole in its center. The air-blowing through hole is coaxial with the feeding channel 21. By providing an air-blowing through hole in the center of the air-blowing interface nut 6, a pressurized air source can blow the nut located on the discharge trough 33 into the feeding channel 21 through the air-blowing through hole, and then into the conveying pipe 1 from the feeding channel 21. Furthermore, the coaxiality of the air-blowing through hole with the feeding channel 21 facilitates the smooth blowing of the nut into the conveying pipe 1.

[0039] See Figures 1-4 It also includes a mounting plate 61, which is connected to the mounting part 23. The mounting plate 61 is provided with a threaded hole, and the air blowing interface nut 6 is screwed into the threaded hole. The mounting plate 61 facilitates the support and positioning of the air blowing interface nut 6.

[0040] See Figures 1-4The material distribution slider 3 is elongated, and the material discharge groove 33 is located in the middle of one side of the material distribution slider 3. The thickness of the material discharge groove 33 is less than the diameter of the nut. When the material distribution slider 3 abuts against the limiting part 22, the geometric center of the material discharge groove 33 is located on the extension line of the axis of the feeding channel 21. By making the thickness of the material discharge groove 33 less than the diameter of the nut, it is ensured that only one nut can be located in the material discharge groove 33. When the material distribution slider 3 abuts against the limiting part 22, the geometric center of the material discharge groove 33 is located on the extension line of the axis of the feeding channel 21, which allows the nut to enter from the middle of the feeding channel 21, prevents interference between the nut and the side wall of the feeding channel 21, and ensures that the nut can smoothly enter the feeding channel 21.

[0041] See Figures 1-4 The material distribution slider 3 also includes a nut pressing part 32, which is located at the upper end of the discharge groove 33. When the material distribution slider 3 moves downward, the nut pressing part 32 abuts against the nut on the material distribution slider 3 that is about to enter the feed channel 21. By providing the nut pressing part 32 on the material distribution slider 3, it is convenient that during operation, the nut pressing part 32 can both prevent the nut located in the discharge groove 33 from moving upward under the action of inertia, and also abut against the nut on the material distribution slider 3 that is about to enter the discharge groove 33 (preventing it from falling off the material distribution slider 3).

[0042] See Figures 1-4 The material dispensing slider 3 also includes an anti-jamming groove 31, which is vertically arranged and located on the side of the material dispensing slider 3 away from the guide portion 24. By providing the anti-jamming groove 31 on the material dispensing slider 3, interference between the mounting plate 61 and the material dispensing slider 3 is prevented when the material dispensing slider 3 moves up and down, ensuring that the material dispensing slider 3 can move up and down smoothly.
