Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting, specifically a precision size sorting machine for nuts. Background Technology

[0002] A nut is a fastener that is screwed onto a bolt or threaded rod to secure the machine. It is an essential component in all manufacturing machinery. Depending on the material, nuts are classified into several types, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals (e.g., copper). Nuts are used to tightly connect mechanical equipment. Only nuts and bolts of the same specifications can be connected together through the internal threads. During the production of nuts, a device is needed to sort them according to different sizes.

[0003] For example, a nut sorting device as described in (authorization announcement number CN219581108U) includes a worktable and a sorting assembly.

The push-pull mechanism drives the push rod to move back and forth, and the push rod drives the push block to move back and forth. The push block has a V-shaped notch to ensure that the pushed nut does not slide along a straight line. When the nut is placed on the worktable near the push block, the push block pushes the nut to slide along the worktable. When the size of the nut is smaller than the size of the trapezoidal opening, it will fall from the trapezoidal opening and enter the corresponding collection box along the corresponding slide.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model discloses a precision nut size sorting machine, comprising a feeding component 1, a detection component 2, a control component 3, and a sorting component 4. The rear end of the feeding component 1 is fixedly connected to the detection component 2, the rear end of the detection component 2 is fixedly connected to the control component 3, and the left end of the control component 3 is fixedly connected to the sorting component 4. The machine is characterized by further comprising the feeding component 1, a vibrating plate 11 with its rear end fixedly connected to a detection guide block 21, a slag suction hood 12 fixedly connected to the upper end of the vibrating plate 11, an opening and closing cover 13 rotatably connected to the upper end of the slag suction hood 12, a slag collection box 14 with its right end fixedly connected to the slag suction hood 12, a slag-proof net 15 fixedly connected to the left end of the slag collection box 14 and placed at the right end of a blower 16, and a blower 16 fixedly connected to the left end of the slag collection box 14. After the blower 16 is started, it can draw air from the slag suction hood 12 into the slag collection box 14. Two sets of blowers 16 are provided, and a handle is provided at the upper end of the opening and closing cover 13.

[0026] The detection component 2 has a detection guide block 21 with the upper end fixedly connected to the lighting lamp 24, a nut groove 22 located in the middle of the detection guide block 21, a laser sensor 23 fixedly connected to the front end of the detection guide block 21, a lighting lamp 24 with the left end fixedly connected to the wire 26, and an industrial camera 25 fixedly connected to the rear end of the detection guide block 21.

The wire 26 is also fixedly connected to the upper end of the industrial camera 25 and the left end of the laser sensor 23.

[0027] This utility model provides an improved nut precision size sorting machine, the working principle of which is as follows:

[0028] First, when using this device, place it in the work area and then connect it to an external power source to provide the necessary electrical energy for its operation.

[0029] Secondly, when this device is needed, the handle at the top of the opening and closing cover 13 can be pulled to rotate and open the cover 13. Then, the nut is poured into the vibratory feeder 11, and the vibratory feeder 11 is started by controlling the display controller 31. After the vibratory feeder 11 is started, the nut can be conveyed to the nut groove 22 of the detection guide block 21.
