Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of nut packing, specifically to an insert flexible vibration feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Stepped nuts are a common type of nut. After production, they usually require inserts, or fillers (to install the nut into the packaging box), and the inserts are usually made by a feeding machine.

[0003] A common type of nut insert feeding machine includes a vibratory feeder and a clamping device. The clamping device includes a three-axis moving assembly, a vision detector, a gripper cylinder, and a tooling for filling the nuts. The tooling has placement holes. The vision detector and gripper cylinder are respectively mounted on the three-axis moving assembly. The vision detector detects the position of the nuts on the vibratory feeder, and then controls the gripper cylinder to grab the detected nuts and place them on the placement holes of the tooling. After the required number of nuts are placed on the tooling, the tooling is rotated 90 degrees and then moved to fill the nuts into the packaging box. The packaging box has a placement slot that matches the nuts. The placement slot has a locking point. When the nuts are filled into the placement slot, the locking point locks the nuts, thus completing the nut filling and packaging.

[0004] Regarding the above technical conditions, there is also a defect that the nut is prone to falling off the tooling when the tooling is rotated 90 degrees, making it inconvenient to fill the material.

[0005] Based on this, this utility model designs an insert flexible vibration feeding machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an insert flexible vibration feeding machine, including a mounting platform and a gripper cylinder for clamping stepped nuts. A filling fixture is provided on the mounting platform. The filling fixture includes a support base and a support platform. The support platform is mounted on the support base. A support plate is vertically fixed on the support platform. Multiple support plates are provided, and the multiple support plates form a support cylinder. The concentric steps of the stepped nut are placed on the support plate. The multiple support plates clamp the internal hexagonal nut of the stepped nut. Multiple support cylinders are provided on the support platform.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, after the gripper cylinder picks up the stepped nut, it is placed on the support plate. At this time, the hexagonal nut of the stepped nut is clamped on the inner wall of the support plate, thereby fixing the stepped nut on the support plate. When the support table rotates, the nut is reduced from falling off the tooling, thus achieving the effect of facilitating filling.

[0008] Preferably, a guide block is fixedly provided on the support plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the nut is placed, the guide block guides the stepped nut, making it easier for the hexagonal nut of the stepped nut to enter the support cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, an abutment plate is vertically provided on the support platform, and the abutment plate abuts against the internal hexagonal nut of the stepped nut.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact plate further supports the stepped nut, preventing the stepped nut from being excessively pressed down and damaging the support plate.

[0012] Preferably, a cylinder is provided on the support platform, a connecting rod is fixedly provided on the telescopic shaft of the cylinder, the connecting rod is vertically fixedly connected to the support platform, a fixing plate is fixedly provided on the cylinder body of the cylinder, the abutment plate is fixedly connected to the fixing plate, a clearance groove is provided on the support platform, and the abutment plate is located in the clearance groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the stepped nut is put into the packaging box during the filling process, the cylinder is driven to make the contact plate contact the stepped nut and disengage from the support plate, thereby facilitating the filling of the stepped nut.

[0014] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects: after the gripper cylinder picks up the stepped nut and places it on the support plate, the inner wall of the support plate clamps the hexagonal nut of the stepped nut, thereby fixing the stepped nut on the support plate. When the support table rotates, it reduces the nut from falling off the tooling, thus facilitating the filling. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-4 A flexible vibratory feeder for inserts includes a mounting platform 1, a gripper cylinder 2 for gripping stepped nuts, a vibratory plate 3 on the mounting platform 1, and a vibratory motor on the mounting platform 1 for driving the vibratory plate 3 to vibrate. After the stepped nuts are placed on the vibratory plate 3, the vibratory motor drives the vibratory plate to vibrate with a small amplitude, causing some of the stepped nuts to stand up. A filling fixture is provided on the mounting platform 1. When the gripper cylinder 2 grips, the vibratory plate 3 does not vibrate. After the gripper cylinder 2 grips the stepped nuts in the vibratory plate 3, it moves through a three-axis moving assembly. The position is detected by a vision detector. After the flexible vibratory plate finishes vibrating, the vision detector captures the image and transmits the coordinate signal to the three-axis moving assembly, which then drives the gripper to grip the stepped nuts. Finally, the stepped nuts are placed into the filling fixture. In this embodiment, the stepped nuts include a hexagonal nut 12 and a concentric step 13. The concentric step 13 is larger than the hexagonal nut 12.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 The packing fixture includes a support base 4 and a support platform 5. A motor 6 is horizontally fixed on the support base 4. A rotating shaft 7 is coaxially fixed on the rotating shaft of the motor 6. A connecting block 8 is fixedly connected between the rotating shaft 7 and the support platform 5. The motor 6 drives the support platform 5 to rotate. An electric cylinder 9 is installed on the mounting platform 1. A movable seat 10 is fixedly connected to the telescopic shaft of the electric cylinder 9. The support base 4 is fixedly installed on the movable seat 10.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4A support plate 11 is vertically fixed on the support platform 5. Multiple support plates 11 are provided, and multiple support plates 11 form a support cylinder. The concentric steps 13 of the stepped nut are placed on the support plate 11. Multiple support plates 11 clamp the hexagonal nuts of the stepped nut. Multiple support cylinders are provided on the support platform 5. A guide block 14 is fixed on the support plate 11. The guide block 14 is integrally formed with the support plate 11. After the gripper cylinder 2 grabs the stepped nut, it is placed on the support plate 11. At this time, the inner wall of the support plate 11 clamps the hexagonal nuts of the stepped nut, thereby fixing the stepped nut on the support plate 11. When the support platform 5 rotates, it reduces the nut from falling off the tooling and achieves the effect of facilitating filling.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 When the nut is placed, the guide block 14 guides the stepped nut, making it easier for the hexagonal nut 12 of the stepped nut to enter the support cylinder.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 A cylinder 15 is vertically mounted on the support platform 5. A connecting rod 16 is coaxially fixed on the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 15. The connecting rod 16 is vertically fixed to the support platform 5. A fixing plate 17 is fixedly mounted on the cylinder body of the cylinder 15. An abutment plate 18 is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 17. A clearance groove 19 is provided on the support platform 5, and the abutment plate 18 is located in the clearance groove 19. When the stepped nut is placed, the abutment plate 18 is located in the support cylinder. After the stepped nut is placed, the concentric step contacts the abutment plate 18, and the abutment plate 18 further supports the stepped nut to prevent the stepped nut from being excessively pressed down and damaging the support plate 11. When filling, after the stepped nut enters the packaging box, the cylinder 15 is driven to make the abutment plate 18 abut against the stepped nut and disengage from the support plate 11, thereby facilitating the filling of the stepped nut.

[0029] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When feeding material, the gripper cylinder 2 grabs the stepped nut and places it on the support plate 11. At this time, the inner wall of the support plate 11 clamps the hexagonal nut of the stepped nut, thereby fixing the stepped nut on the support plate 11. When filling, the drive motor 6 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, thereby driving the support platform 5 to rotate. When the support platform 5 rotates, the support plate 11 clamps the hexagonal nut 12 of the stepped nut, reducing the nut from falling off the tooling and achieving the effect of facilitating filling.
