The screw falls into the material placement hole 2024. Then, the pneumatic tube 2022 pushes the sliding plate 2021 backward, so that the material placement hole 2024 is aligned with the material leakage hole 2013 on the side close to the pneumatic tube 2022. The screw falls from the bottom through hole of the material distribution pad 201 into the material distribution guide tube 2014, completing the picking of screws one by one.
[0026] A pusher 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the straight material channel 301, and a sweeping mechanism 6 is provided on one side of the straight material channel 301.

The brush plate 607 is located above the straight material channel 301.
[0027] The main housing 101 has a material placement plate 501 fixedly connected to the middle of the material storage area. The top of the material placement plate 501 has a square hole. The central axis of the square hole is consistent with the central axis of the straight material channel 301. A symmetrical movable push plate 502 is movably connected inside the square hole. The inner side of the movable push plate 502 is attached to the outer side of the inclined channel 4, and the inclined angle of the inclined channel 4 and the top inclined surface of the movable push plate 502 is consistent. The bottom end of the movable push plate 502 is fixedly connected to a base plate 503. The bottom end of the base plate 503 is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod 504. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 504 is movably connected to the inside of the cylinder 505.
[0028] The specific implementation method for material handling is as follows: The cylinder 505 pulls the movable pusher plate 502 down to the placement plate 501 through the telescopic rod 504, so that the top of the inclined surface of the movable pusher plate 502 is flush with the top surface of the placement plate 501. After the screw slides in along the inclined surface, the cylinder 505 pushes the movable pusher plate 502 upward through the telescopic rod 504, so that the bottom of its inclined surface is aligned with the top of the inclined surface of the inclined channel 4, and the screw can fall into the straight material channel 301 through the inclined surface of the inclined channel 4.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model:
[0030] The working principle of the feeding mechanism: the cylinder 505 pushes the movable pusher plate 502 up and down through the telescopic rod 504, and realizes material picking and feeding in this process.
[0031] The working principle of the sweeping mechanism: The motor 608 controls the turntable 601 to rotate back and forth, so that the connecting rod 602 can move up and down, and through the connecting rod 603, the sector tooth plate 604 is rotated, which in turn causes the gear 605 meshing with it to rotate. As a result, the long rod 606 rotates, causing the brush plate 607, which is fixedly connected to the long rod 606, to rotate left and right, thus cleaning the screws in abnormal positions on the straight material channel 301.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
