Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-6. This utility model provides a technical solution: Example 1

[0026] A nut side-pull type misaligned feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder 1. The discharge port of the vibratory feeder 1 is equipped with a discharge frame 10. The discharge port of the discharge frame 10 is provided with a misalignment platform 2. The discharge frame 10 is inclined downwards, and the discharge port of the discharge frame 10 is located at a low position. A misalignment block 20 is fixedly installed on the misalignment platform 2. A pusher groove 21 is transversely opened through the middle of the misalignment block 20. An inlet 22 communicating with the discharge port of the discharge frame 10 is opened through the rear left side wall of the pusher groove 21. The right side of the front panel of the misalignment block 20 is provided with a part that communicates with the pusher groove 21. The internally connected discharge port 23, the rear panel of the misaligned block 20 is provided with a push hole 26 corresponding to the position of the discharge port 23, the push groove 21 is laterally sliding and locked with a transfer block 24, the misaligned platform 2 is provided with a transfer drive mechanism for driving the transfer block 24 to slide laterally in the push groove 21, the right end of the transfer block 24 is provided with a front-to-back through transfer groove 25, the rear side of the misaligned block 20 is provided with a discharge rod 33, the discharge rod 33 is driven to move back and forth by a discharge cylinder 32 installed on the misaligned platform 2, and the front end of the discharge rod 33 slides into the push hole 26;

[0027] During operation, the discharge vibrator 11 first assists the nut in the discharge frame 10 to move toward the misalignment block 20. The material transfer block 24 is initially stretched to the left. At this time, the transfer channel 25 is opposite to the inlet 22. The nut falls into the transfer channel 25 under the tilting vibration. At this time, the material transfer drive mechanism pushes the material transfer block 24 to slide in the push channel 21. The transfer channel 25 is misaligned with the inlet 22 to prevent the next nut from entering the push channel 21. The material transfer block 24 moves the single nut to the discharge port 23 through the transfer channel 25. At this time, the discharge rod 33 moves forward through the discharge cylinder 32. The discharge rod 33 extends from the built-in push hole 26 into the push channel 21 and pushes the nut in the transfer channel 25 out of the discharge port 23, completing the side-pull misalignment feeding process of a single nut.

[0028] The top of the misaligned block 20 is covered by a cover plate 27, the inner top surface of the cover plate 27 is slidably attached to the top surface of the material transfer block 24, and the front and rear side walls of the material transfer block 24 are slidably attached to the groove wall of the material push channel 21.

[0029] During operation, the sliding arrangement of the pusher channel 21, the transfer block 24 and the cover plate 27 ensures stable conveying of the nuts inside the transfer channel 25 during misaligned transfer.

[0030] Among them, multiple sensors 29 are mounted above the misaligned block 20, and multiple detection holes 28 are opened on the cover plate 27 for the sensors 29 to detect the state of the nuts in the transfer groove 25;

[0031] During operation, the sensor 29 passes through the detection hole 28 to detect whether the nut has been placed in the transfer channel 25, thus facilitating the subsequent locking action. The state of the transfer channel 25 includes the state at the inlet 22 and the outlet 23. Therefore, as shown in Figure 4, two sets of sensors 29 are set up for detection.

[0032] The material transfer drive mechanism includes a pusher cylinder 3 and a pusher rod 30. The cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the left side of the misalignment platform 2. The telescopic end of the pusher cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the horizontally arranged pusher rod 30. The telescopic pusher rod 30 is fixedly connected to the left end of the material transfer block 24.

[0033] During operation, the pusher cylinder 3 drives the transfer block 24 to complete the sliding and pushing transfer action within the pusher channel 21 via the pusher rod 30. Example 2

[0034] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0035] The bottom of the discharge rack 10 is equipped with a discharge vibrator 11. During operation, the discharge vibrator 11 can help the nut inside the discharge rack 10 to slide smoothly into the transfer channel 25 in the push channel 21, preventing jamming and blockage.

[0036] Among them, a buffer rod 31 is slidably installed on the right side of the misalignment block 20, and the left end of the buffer rod 31 is located on the displacement path of the right end of the material transfer block 24.

[0037] During operation, the buffer rod 31 is mainly used to reduce the impact force of the moving material block 24, thereby improving the stability and quietness of the misaligned feeding process.
