Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fasteners, and in particular to an automatic fastener feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] A button sewing machine is a device used in garment production to automatically or semi-automatically attach buttons. It uses a mechanical device to precisely sew buttons to designated positions on clothing. It is easy to operate, highly efficient, and can significantly improve garment production speed and quality. Widely used in various garment factories, it is an indispensable auxiliary tool in garment production.

[0003] In order to improve the button feeding efficiency, existing button attaching machines usually have a vibratory feeder on one side for feeding buttons. The vibratory feeder moves the button to a specific area, and then a robotic arm picks up the button and puts it onto the button attaching machine. Then, the operator takes over the operation of the button attaching machine.

[0004] The vibratory feeder vibrates at a certain frequency, causing the buttons to move along the inner wall of the feeder. To prevent the buttons from moving side by side while they are moving along the inner wall of the feeder, a screening plate is set on the movement path of the buttons. For buttons of different sizes, the position of the screening plate needs to be adjusted frequently. The screening plate is usually fixed with bolts, which makes the adjustment process cumbersome and time-consuming, reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the position of the screening plate needs to be frequently adjusted for buttons of different sizes, and the screening plate is usually fixed with bolts, which makes the adjustment process cumbersome and time-consuming, reducing production efficiency. This application provides an automatic button feeding device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic buckle feeding device includes a base, a vibratory plate fixed on the base, a conveying track fixed inside the vibratory plate, a buckle feeding rail fixed on the vibratory plate, one end of the buckle feeding rail being connected to the conveying track, a plurality of arc-shaped metal plates being arranged on the conveying track, and an adjustment mechanism being arranged between the arc-shaped metal plates and the vibratory plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to transport buttons of different thicknesses, the adjustment mechanism can directly drive several arc-shaped metal pieces to move, so that the distance between the arc-shaped metal pieces and the conveying track can be adapted to the thickness of the buttons, thus completing the adjustment of the arc-shaped metal pieces. In this way, when transporting buttons of different thicknesses, the position of the corresponding arc-shaped metal pieces can be adjusted conveniently and quickly, reducing the trouble of adjusting them one by one with tools in the traditional way.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a support base fixed on the vibratory plate, an adjustment rod slidably connected to the support base, support rods fixed on several of the arc-shaped metal plates, a contact component between several support rods and adjustment rods, and a moving component between the adjustment rods and the vibratory plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving component drives the adjusting rod, which moves on the support base. The adjusting rod drives several abutting components, which in turn drive the support rod, which in turn drives the arc-shaped metal piece to move. This allows for convenient and quick adjustment of several arc-shaped metal pieces at the same time, reducing the hassle of adjusting them one by one with tools in the traditional method.

[0011] Furthermore, the abutment assembly includes an abutment rod that is slidably connected to the support rod. One end of the abutment rod is fixedly connected to the adjustment rod. An abutment spring is provided inside the abutment rod, and both ends of the abutment spring are fixedly connected to the support rod and the abutment rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the support rod slides on the abutment rod, and the abutment spring inside the abutment rod supports the support rod, thereby making it easy for the arc-shaped metal sheet to always abut against the edge of the vibratory plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the movable component includes a support frame fixed to the vibratory feeder, an adjusting rod passing through the support frame and slidably connected to the support frame, and a connecting block fixed to one end of the adjusting rod passing through the support frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting block can move on the support frame, and the connecting block can drive the adjusting rod to move, thereby making it convenient for the adjusting rod to move on the support base.

[0015] Furthermore, the connecting block is threaded with an adjusting bolt, which passes through the connecting block and is rotatably connected to the support frame.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting bolt is rotated on the support frame, which makes it easy for the connecting block to move along the adjusting bolt.

[0017] Furthermore, two symmetrical external splines are fixed on the adjusting rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the external spline slides on the support as the adjusting rod moves, thereby further improving the stability of the adjusting rod's movement on the support.

[0019] Furthermore, the external spline is fixed with evenly distributed adjustment scales.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the adjusting rod drives the external spline to move, the adjustment scale moves with the external spline, thus making it convenient and intuitive to observe the distance that the adjusting rod drives the arc-shaped metal piece to move.

[0021] Furthermore, a limit block is slidably connected to the support base, and one end of the adjusting rod is fixedly connected to the limit block.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting rod drives the limiting block to move on the support base. The limiting block restricts the stroke of the adjusting rod, thereby reducing the possibility of the adjusting rod squeezing the conveyor track when it drives the arc-shaped metal sheet for adjustment.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;

[0024] 1. This application achieves the goal of conveniently and quickly adjusting the positions of several arc-shaped metal plates simultaneously by directly rotating the adjusting bolt. The adjusting bolt drives the connecting block, which in turn drives the adjusting rod. Under the limit of the support frame and support seat, the adjusting rod moves up or down. The adjusting rod drives the abutment rod, which in turn drives the support rod. The support rod moves the arc-shaped metal plates, changing the distance between the arc-shaped metal plates and the conveyor track. During the movement of the arc-shaped plates, the abutment spring pushes the support rod, which in turn pushes the arc-shaped metal plates, ensuring that the arc-shaped metal plates always abut against the inner wall of the vibratory plate. This achieves the goal of conveniently and quickly adjusting several arc-shaped metal plates at the same time, reducing the trouble of adjusting them one by one with tools in the traditional method.

[0025] 2. In this application, when the adjusting rod moves on the support base, the adjusting rod drives the limiting block to move on the support base. By using the limiting block to limit the stroke of the adjusting rod, the possibility of the adjusting rod squeezing the conveyor track during adjustment is reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —4 provides further detailed description of this application.

[0033] This application discloses an automatic buckle feeding device.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An automatic buckle feeding device includes a base 1, a vibratory plate 2 fixed on the base 1, a conveying track 3 fixed inside the vibratory plate 2, a buckle feeding track 4 fixed on the vibratory plate 2, one end of the buckle feeding track 4 being connected to the conveying track 3, a plurality of arc-shaped metal pieces 5 being arranged on the conveying track 3, and an adjustment mechanism 6 being arranged between the arc-shaped metal pieces 5 and the vibratory plate 2.

[0035] When using this fastener feeding device, several fasteners are poured into the vibratory feeder 2. The vibratory feeder 2 moves the fasteners along the conveyor track 3. During the movement, the arc-shaped metal plate 5 limits the fasteners, preventing overlapping fasteners from being blocked by the arc-shaped metal plate 5 and causing them to fall back into the vibratory feeder 2. Then, the fasteners move from the conveyor track 3 to the fastener feeding track 4. When the fasteners move to one end of the fastener feeding track 4, an external robotic arm moves the fasteners to the fastener attaching machine. When it is necessary to feed fasteners of different thicknesses, the adjustment mechanism 6 directly drives several arc-shaped metal plates 5 to move, so that the distance between the arc-shaped metal plates 5 and the conveyor track 3 adapts to the thickness of the fasteners, thus completing the adjustment of the arc-shaped metal plates 5. By using the adjustment mechanism 6 to simultaneously drive several arc-shaped metal plates 5 and adjust the distance between the arc-shaped metal plates 5 and the conveyor track 3, the position of the corresponding arc-shaped metal plates 5 can be easily and quickly adjusted when feeding fasteners of different thicknesses, reducing the trouble of adjusting them one by one with tools in the past.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjustment mechanism 6 includes a support base 63 fixed on the vibrating plate 2, an adjustment rod 62 slidably connected to the support base 63, a number of support rods 61 fixed on each of the arc-shaped metal plates 5, a contact component 64 between each of the support rods 61 and the adjustment rod 62, and a moving component 65 between the adjustment rod 62 and the vibrating plate 2.

[0037] In addition, the abutment assembly 64 includes an abutment rod 641 that is slidably connected to the support rod 61. One end of the abutment rod 641 is fixedly connected to the adjustment rod 62. An abutment spring 642 is provided inside the abutment rod 641. Both ends of the abutment spring 642 are fixedly connected to the support rod 61 and the abutment rod 641.

[0038] Furthermore, the moving component 65 includes a support frame 651 fixed on the vibratory plate 2, an adjusting rod 62 passing through the support frame 651 and slidably connected to the support frame 651, and a connecting block 652 fixed to one end of the adjusting rod 62 passing through the support frame 651.

[0039] Furthermore, an adjusting bolt 653 is threaded onto the connecting block 652, the adjusting bolt 653 passes through the connecting block 652, and is rotatably connected to the support frame 651.

[0040] When it is necessary to adjust the position of several arc-shaped metal pieces 5, simply rotate the adjusting bolt 653. The adjusting bolt 653 drives the connecting block 652, which in turn drives the adjusting rod 62. Under the limit of the support frame 651 and the support seat 63, the adjusting rod 62 moves up or down. The adjusting rod 62 drives the abutment rod 641, which in turn drives the support rod 61. The support rod 61 moves the arc-shaped metal pieces 5, changing the distance between the arc-shaped metal pieces 5 and the conveying track 3. During the movement of the arc-shaped pieces, the abutment spring 642 pushes the support rod 61, which in turn pushes the arc-shaped metal pieces 5, ensuring that the arc-shaped metal pieces 5 always abut against the inner wall of the vibrating plate 2. By using the adjusting rod 62 to simultaneously drive several abutment rods 641, which in turn drive the support rod 61, which in turn moves the arc-shaped metal pieces 5, it is possible to conveniently and quickly adjust several arc-shaped metal pieces 5 at the same time, reducing the trouble of adjusting them one by one with tools in the traditional method.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 Two symmetrical external splines 66 are fixed on the adjusting rod 62. The external splines 66 are fixed on the adjusting rod 62, allowing them to slide along the support base 63. The external splines 66 limit the movement of the adjusting rod 62, thereby further improving the stability of the adjusting rod 62's movement on the support base 63.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The external spline 66 is fixed with evenly distributed adjustment scales 7. When the adjustment rod 62 moves the external spline 66, the adjustment scales 7 move with the external spline 66. During adjustment, the value of the adjustment scales 7 above the support frame 651 can be directly observed to intuitively determine the adjustment position. By setting evenly distributed adjustment scales 7 on the external spline 66, it is possible to conveniently and intuitively observe the distance that the adjustment rod 62 moves the arc-shaped metal piece 5.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A limiting block 8 is slidably connected to the support base 63, and one end of the adjusting rod 62 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 8. When the adjusting rod 62 moves on the support base 63, the adjusting rod 62 drives the limiting block 8 to move on the support base 63. The limiting block 8 restricts the stroke of the adjusting rod 62. By using the limiting block 8 to restrict the stroke of the adjusting rod 62, the possibility of the adjusting rod 62 squeezing the conveying track 3 when driving the arc-shaped metal sheet 5 for adjustment can be reduced.

[0044] Working principle: When using this fastener feeding device, several fasteners are poured into the vibratory feeder 2. The vibratory feeder 2 moves the fasteners along the conveyor track 3. During the movement, the arc-shaped metal plate 5 limits the fasteners, preventing overlapping fasteners from falling back into the vibratory feeder 2. Then, the fasteners move from the conveyor track 3 to the fastener feeding track 4. When the fasteners reach one end of the fastener feeding track 4, an external robotic arm moves the fasteners to the fastener attaching machine. When it is necessary to feed fasteners of different thicknesses, the adjustment can be directly rotated. Bolt 653 is used to adjust the connecting block 652, which in turn drives the adjusting rod 62. Under the constraints of the support frame 651 and the support seat 63, the adjusting rod 62 moves up or down. The adjusting rod 62 drives the abutting rod 641, which in turn drives the support rod 61. The support rod 61 moves the arc-shaped metal piece 5, changing the distance between the arc-shaped metal piece 5 and the conveying track 3. This completes the adjustment of the distance between the arc-shaped metal piece 5 and the conveying track 3. Then, a buckle of the corresponding thickness is placed into the vibrating plate 2.
