[0040] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic clothes hanger hook insertion machine, including: a hook conveying assembly 1, a clothes hanger body conveying assembly 2, and an assembly assembly 3;

[0041] The hook conveying assembly 1 includes a material box 10 for holding clothes hanger hooks. A rotating disk 11 is located on the side wall of the material box 10. Several support columns 12 are arranged in a ring around the edge of the side wall of the rotating disk 11. The rotating disk 11 is driven by a servo motor and rotates around its own circle. The rotating disk 11 drives the support columns 12 to rotate, causing the support columns 12 to pass inside the material box 10, so that the hooks are suspended on the support columns 12 and move with them. The upper sides of the material box 10 extend upwards to protect the hooks suspended on the support columns 12, preventing them from falling off the outside of the material box 10. A vibrating track 13 is located on the upper side of the rotating disk 11. During rotation, the support columns 12 contact the vibrating track 13, transferring the hooks from the support columns 12 to the vibrating track 13 for conveying. A limiter 14 is provided above the bottom of the vibrating track 13. The limiter 14 is used to separate the hooks and restrict their movement. A positioner 15 is provided below the vibrating track 13. The positioner 15 is used to position the hooks delivered by the vibrating track 13. In use, the rotating disk 11 is controlled by a servo motor to rotate. The rotating disk 11 drives the support column 12 to pass through the material box 10, so that the hooks are suspended on the support column 12 and move with the support column 12. When the support column 12 passes the vibrating track 13, the hooks are transferred from the support column 12 to the vibrating track 13 and slide down to the bottom of the vibrating track 13. Under the control of the limiter 14, one hook falls onto the positioner 15 at a time and is fixed by the positioner 15.

[0042] The hanger body conveying assembly 2 is used to store and orient the hanger body to a designated position, and the assembly assembly 3 is used to insert the hook positioned by the locator 15 into the hanger body and transport the assembled hanger.

[0043] In one embodiment, the material box 10 is disposed at the bottom of the side wall of the rotating disk 11, the rotating disk 11 and the material box 10 are inclined together, and the end of the rotating disk 11 with the support column 12 faces upward. The inclined arrangement of the rotating disk 11 and the material box 10 enhances the stability of the hook hanging on the support column 12, so that the hook that falls off falls back into the material box 10 along the rotating disk 11.

[0044] In one embodiment, the vibrating track 13 is inclined to facilitate the automatic sliding of the hook under the influence of gravity. The middle part of the vibrating track 13 is bent to match the shape of the hook and enhance the stability of the hook during movement. The vibrating track 13 includes a feeding section 130, a conveying section 131, and a discharging section 132. The middle part of the feeding section 130 is bent, and the end of the feeding section 130 near the material box 10 has an inclined surface. The end of the feeding section 130 contacts the support column 12 and abuts against the surface of the rotating disk 11. When the support column 12 carries the hook, the feeding section 130 scoops up the hook and moves it outward to fall onto the track of the feeding section 130. The discharging section 132 is designed with an arc shape. The bottom of the discharging section 132 is located directly above the locator 15. After passing the arc surface of the discharging section 132, the hook falls onto the locator 15. The upper sides of the feeding section 132 are provided with baffles 133. The baffles 133 are used to restrict the movement of the hook. The baffles 133 cooperate with the feeding section 132 to make the hook fall onto the positioner 15 at a suitable angle and be fixed by the positioner 15.

[0045] In one embodiment, the limiter 14 includes three telescopic cylinders 140, each with a lower end connected to a plug 141. The two upper plugs 141 are symmetrically arranged and in contact with each other. Initially, the middle and lower plugs 141 are in contact with the surface of the vibration track 13, restricting the hooks. During use, the telescopic cylinders 140 raise the middle plug 141 and lower the upper plugs 141. During operation, one hook slides down, and the upper plugs 141 stop the remaining hooks. The lower plugs 141 are used to stop and release the separated hooks, decelerate the hooks, and pre-release them to avoid untimely assembly affecting the positioning device 15's ability to fix the hooks.

[0046] In one embodiment, the positioner 15 includes a base 150, with a fixed mold 151 connected to the upper end of the base 150. The fixed mold 151 is fixed relative to the base 150. A movable mold 152 is located at the upper end of the base 150 and on the side of the fixed mold 151, and the movable mold 152 can slide left and right relative to the base 150. The gap between the fixed mold 151 and the movable mold 152 matches the external hook. A telescopic cylinder 153 is located on the upper side wall of the base 150, and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 153 is connected to the movable mold 152. The hook falls between the fixed mold 151 and the movable mold 152 via the vibration track 13. By activating the telescopic cylinder 153, the telescopic cylinder 153 pushes the movable mold 152 closer to the fixed mold 151, so that the movable mold 152 cooperates with the fixed mold 151 to clamp the hook, thereby achieving the positioning of the hook.

[0047] In one embodiment, the hanger conveying assembly 2 includes a docking platform 20. The upper end of the docking platform 20 is provided with a storage mechanism 21, which stores and holds hangers and allows the lowest hanger to be released from the bottom. The storage mechanism 21 is prior art and well-known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here. The bottom of the docking platform 20 is provided with a pusher 22, and the upper end of the docking platform 20 is provided with a mold cavity 23. A stop block 24 is provided at the middle of the upper side of the docking platform 20, opposite to the storage mechanism 21. The stop block 24 has a U-shaped structure and a vertical opening in its middle. The stop block 24 cooperates with the pusher 22 to position the hanger. In use, the pusher 22 pushes the hanger at the bottom of the storage mechanism 21 into the mold cavity 23 and slides it backward until the hanger is blocked by the stop block 24, thus fixing the hanger.

[0048] In one embodiment, the pusher 22 includes a motor 220 mounted on the bottom of the side wall of the docking platform 20. The output end of the motor 220 is connected to a lead screw 221. A slider 222 is provided at the bottom of the docking platform 20, and the slider 222 can slide back and forth along the docking platform 20. The lead screw 221 passes through the middle of the slider 222. Push blocks 223 are connected to both sides of the upper end of the slider 222. Two grooves 224 matching the push blocks 223 are provided at the lower end of the docking platform 20, located in the mold cavity 23. In use, by starting the motor 220, the motor 220 drives the lead screw 221 to rotate, and the lead screw 221 controls the slider 222 to slide back and forth, pushing and fixing the hanger body.

[0049] In one embodiment, the assembly component 3 includes a bracket 30. A second motor 31 is mounted on the upper side wall of the bracket 30. The output end of the second motor 31 is connected to a second lead screw 32, which passes through a locator 15. The locator 15 is located at the upper end of the bracket 30 and can slide back and forth relative to the bracket 30. When both the hook and the hanger body are fixed, the second motor 31 is started, which drives the second lead screw 32 to rotate. The second lead screw 32 pushes the base 150 to slide forward, and the base 150 drives the hook to insert into the hanger body, thereby realizing the automatic assembly of the hook.

[0050] In one embodiment, the assembly component 3 further includes a frame 33 disposed above the support 30. A conveyor belt 34 is disposed within the frame 33 and is driven by a servo motor. A sliding frame 35 is disposed on the side wall of the frame 33. The sliding frame 35 is connected to the conveyor belt 34 and can slide along the long side of the frame 33. A telescopic cylinder 36 is mounted at the lower end of the sliding frame 35. A fixing plate 37 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 36. Mechanical claws 38 are mounted at each of the four corners of the fixing plate 37. After the hook assembly is completed, the sliding frame 35 is controlled by the conveyor belt 34 to slide directly above the hanger. The telescopic cylinder 36 pushes the fixing plate 37 and mechanical claws 38 downwards, causing the mechanical claws 38 to clamp and fix the hanger. Then, the telescopic cylinder 36 drives the hanger upwards, and the conveyor belt 34 controls the hanger to slide to the side, moving it to the designated placement location.

[0051] In one embodiment, the fixing plate 37 has elongated perforations at both ends, and four mechanical claws 38 are located in two of the perforations and fixed with bolts, meaning that all mechanical claws 38 are detachably connected to the fixing plate 37. When the type of hanger changes, the position of the mechanical claws 38 on the perforations can be adjusted to make the mechanical claws 38 compatible with various types of hangers.

[0052] The specific usage process of this utility model is as follows: The rotating disk 11 is controlled by a servo motor to rotate, and the rotating disk 11 drives the support column 12 to rotate. When the support column 12 passes the material box 10, it brings out the hook. The hook moves against the support column 12 and is transferred from the support column 12 to the vibration track 13 when it passes the vibration track 13. It slides along the vibration track 13 to the position of the limiter 14 and is restricted from moving. When the first two insert blocks 141 are controlled by the telescopic cylinder 140 to make opposite telescopic movements at the same time, one hook can continue to slide down while the remaining hooks continue to be stuck. After being blocked by the lower insert block 141, the telescopic cylinder 140 controls the insert block 141 to retract and then extend, so that a single hook falls on the base 150. By activating the telescopic cylinder 153, the telescopic cylinder 153 pushes the movable mold 152 close to the fixed mold 151, so that the movable mold 152 cooperates with the fixed mold 151 to clamp the hook.

[0053] Start motor 220, which drives lead screw 221 to rotate. Lead screw 221 controls slider 222 to slide backward, pushing and fixing the hanger body. Start motor 31, which drives lead screw 32 to rotate. Lead screw 32 pushes base 150 to slide forward, and base 150 drives hook to insert into the hanger body, realizing automatic hook assembly.

[0054] The sliding frame 35 is controlled by the conveyor belt 34 to slide directly above the hanger. The telescopic cylinder 36 pushes the fixing plate 37 and the mechanical claw 38 to descend, so that the mechanical claw 38 clamps and fixes the hanger. Then the telescopic cylinder 36 drives the hanger to rise, and the conveyor belt 34 controls the hanger to slide to the side and move to the designated placement location.

[0055] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
