[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-4 The automated automotive hinge bushing assembly equipment shown includes a vibratory feeder 2, which is mounted on an operating table 1 for assembling automotive hinge bushings. In actual use, the bushing is placed inside the vibratory feeder 2. A spiral conveying track 8 is installed inside the vibratory feeder 2. The vibratory feeder 2 and the conveying track 8 cooperate to realize the conveying and separation of the bushing by vibration. The vibratory feeder 2, the conveying track 8, and their working principles are all common existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] To achieve automatic reversing of the bushings, especially adjusting the axis from horizontal to vertical, a reversing assembly is installed on the vibratory feeder 2. The reversing assembly includes a reversing hopper 4 and a feeding pipe 5, with the outlet end of the conveyor track 8 connected to the reversing hopper 4. Specifically, multiple bushings are placed inside the vibratory feeder 2, which vibrates, and the bushings move from the conveyor track 8 into the reversing hopper 4. The inner walls of the reversing hopper 4 and the feeding pipe 5 are smooth to ensure smooth sliding of the bushings.

[0028] The top of the vibratory feeder 2 is provided with a groove 3, the reversing bucket 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vibratory feeder 2, and the feeding pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 3. The groove 3 is provided so that the height of the reversing bucket 4 and the feeding pipe 5 is appropriate, which facilitates their cooperation with the conveyor track 8.

[0029] The reversing bucket 4 is frustum-shaped and includes a head end 401 and a tail end 402. The head end 401 has a large inner diameter, and the tail end 402 extends into the interior of the feeding pipe 5. The inner diameter of the head end 401 is larger than the outer diameter and axial length of the bushing, so that the bushing can enter the interior of the reversing bucket 4 from the head end 401 and can rotate inside the reversing bucket 4. After the bushing enters the interior of the reversing bucket 4 from the head end 401, it then enters the interior of the feeding pipe 5.

[0030] The reversing bucket 4 is tilted, with the end of the reversing bucket 4 away from the feeding pipe 5 tilting upwards, so that the inner wall of the bottom end of the reversing bucket 4 is also tilted, with the end away from the feeding pipe 5 tilting upwards as well; when the bushing enters the interior of the reversing bucket 4 from the head end 401, it will be flipped by the guiding action of the inner wall of the bottom end of the reversing bucket 4. In addition, the reversing bucket 4, the feeding pipe 5 and other structures can vibrate synchronously with the vibrating plate 2 to assist the bushing in flipping, so that the bushing port position first passes through the tail end 402 into the interior of the feeding pipe 5.

[0031] The feeding pipe 5 includes a sliding section 501 and a vertical section 502. The sliding section 501 is close to the reversing bucket 4. After the bushing passes through the tail end 402 and enters the interior of the feeding pipe 5, it passes through the sliding section 501 and the vertical section 502 in sequence and discharges in a vertical state, thereby realizing automatic reversing operation.

[0032] This utility model achieves automatic reversing operation by setting up structures such as a reversing bucket 4 and a feeding pipe 5, thereby improving the efficiency of automated automotive hinge bushing assembly equipment.

[0033] The connection between the sliding section 501 and the vertical section 502 is arc-shaped to ensure a smooth transition of the bushing between the sliding section 501 and the vertical section 502.

[0034] Considering the varying sizes of the bushings, to improve the applicability of the automated automotive hinge bushing assembly equipment, an air bladder 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding pipe 5. The inner ring of the air bladder 6 (i.e., the part in contact with the bushing) is smooth to ensure the smooth sliding of the bushing. At the same time, the air bladder 6 is made of uniform material and expands stably. An air pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding pipe 5. The air pipe 7 is connected to the air bladder 6. The end of the air pipe 7 away from the feeding pipe 5 is connected to the gas delivery pipe of the factory. In actual use, a solenoid valve (not shown in the figure) is installed on the air pipe 7 to control the opening and closing state of the air pipe 7 so that the air bladder 6 can remain in an inflated state.

[0035] When the outer diameter of the bushing is small, gas is supplied to the air bladder 6 through the air pipe 7, causing the inner ring of the air bladder 6 to expand. This narrows the sliding inner diameter of the feeding pipe 5, preventing the bushing from flipping significantly when sliding inside the feeding pipe 5 and avoiding blockage of the feeding pipe 5. When the outer diameter of the bushing is large, the air pipe 7 draws gas from the air bladder 6, causing the air bladder 6 to contract. This expands the sliding inner diameter of the feeding pipe 5, ensuring that the bushing slides inside the feeding pipe 5.

[0036] This utility model improves the applicability of automated automotive hinge bushing assembly equipment by setting up structures such as airbags 6 and air pipes 7 to adjust the sliding inner diameter inside the feeding pipe 5.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
