[0036] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 A foot pad screw-on feeding machine for a compressor assembly line is provided in one embodiment of the present utility model, including a production line 10 and a base frame 11 horizontally arranged at the bottom of the production line 10. A tooling plate 12 is provided on the production line 10, and a machine housing 13 is provided on the tooling plate 12.
[0038] The base frame 11 is sequentially provided with a vibrating feeding plate 14, a rotating material distribution assembly 15, and a rotating foot assembly 16;
[0039] A transfer component 17 is provided on one side of the rotating foot assembly 16. The transfer component 17 is used to transfer the foot pad 20 from the rotating material distribution assembly 15 to the rotating foot assembly 16.
[0040] On the other side of the rotating foot assembly 16, a lifting assembly 18 is provided, and on the assembly line 10, a pressing assembly 19 is provided.
[0041] It should be noted that in this utility model, at the assembly position, the production line 10 is provided with a retractable stop 101. When the tooling plate 12 moves to the preset position, the retractable stop 101 extends to block the tooling plate 12. The lifting component 18 and the pressing component 19 clamp the machine housing 13. The rotating foot component 16 screws the foot pad 20 into the corresponding foot pad hole at the bottom of the machine housing 13. Then, the rotating foot component 16 retracts downward, the lifting component 18 retracts downward, the pressing component 19 retracts upward, the retractable stop 101 retracts, and the tooling plate 12 is transported to the next workstation along the production line 10.
[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotating material distribution assembly 15 includes a base plate 151 mounted on the base frame 11, a top plate 152 connected to the base plate 151 via a first column, a first servo motor 153 mounted at the bottom of the top plate 152, and a turntable 154 connected to the output end of the first servo motor 153. The turntable 154 is provided with a receiving hole, and the foot pad 20 is located in the receiving hole.

[0044] The top plate 152 is provided with a protective ring 155, which is located on the outer ring of the turntable 154. The protective ring 155 has an avoidance notch at the position corresponding to the vibrating feeding plate 14.
[0045] It should be noted that by setting the avoidance notch and the U-shaped receiving hole, the material can be fed in. The protective ring 155 blocks the foot pad 20 to prevent it from being thrown out of the receiving hole during rotation.
[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a horizontal plate 156 is installed on the top plate 152 via a second column, a material blocking cylinder 157 is provided on the horizontal plate 156, a base plate 158 is installed on the actuating end of the material blocking cylinder 157, and a downwardly extending material blocking plate 159 is installed on the base plate 158, the material blocking plate 159 being located in the clearance notch.
[0047] The top plate 152 is provided with a detection element 1521 on its side. When the detection element 1521 detects an empty receiving hole, the material blocking cylinder 157 drives the material blocking plate 159 to rise. The vibration of the vibrating feeding plate 14 causes the foot pad 20 to enter the empty receiving hole from the clearance notch, thus preventing material accumulation on the turntable 154.

[0051] The rodless cylinder 172 moves the entire assembly above the rotating foot assembly 16. The first lifting cylinder 174 lowers the connecting plate 173. The four gripper cylinders 176 release the grippers 177 from the corresponding foot pads 20. The foot pads 20 are transferred to the rotating foot assembly 16.

[0055] The rotating rod 1663 is provided with a floating rod 1664, and a spring 1665 and a cap 1666 are sleeved on the floating rod 1664. The spring 1665 is located between the floating rod 1664 and the rotating rod 1664, and the cap 1666 prevents the spring 1665 from being exposed.
[0056] The top of the floating rod 1664 is fitted with a recess 1667 and a bowl-shaped column 1668, and the foot pad 20 is located in the recess 1667 and is threaded onto the bowl-shaped column 1668.
[0057] It should be noted that the foot pad 20 should not be forced when screwing it in; the spring 1665 is provided to provide a buffer against the upward force. Furthermore, to facilitate the screwing in of the foot pad 20, the foot pad 20 is designed with a slope, that is, the bottom surface of the recess 1667 that accommodates the foot pad 20 is sloped.
