Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rivet nut processing equipment, specifically a material discharge structure for rivet nut processing. Background Technology

[0002] Rivet nuts are a common type of nut in mechanical parts and play a vital role in the assembly field. As a result, the processing equipment for rivet nuts has also been developed. However, the existing processing and output structures have relatively simple functions. Since the temperature may be high during the output process, the processing equipment on the market does not have a cooling function, which prolongs the entire processing time.

[0003] According to patent document CN213444948U, a material discharge structure for rivet nut processing with cooling function is disclosed. It includes a main body and an operating table. A first hydraulic rod is installed on the left side of the main body, and a conveyor belt is positioned above the first hydraulic rod. A channel is opened above the conveyor belt, and a worktable is fixed above the channel. A sliding rod is installed above the worktable, and a conveying mechanism is positioned on the right side of the worktable. In use, the slider slides in conjunction with the sliding rod. This sliding of the slider facilitates the transport of materials to the right, reducing manual operation. The lead screw allows the slider to be moved, greatly increasing its flexibility. The second hydraulic rod can adjust the spacing between the sliding rods, facilitating the shovel to pick up and place materials. While this solution completes the material transport, it cannot allow for multi-point cooling by tumbling the material during use, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a discharge structure for rivet nut processing, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art. This utility model has a novel structure. In use, the drive motor drives the stirring plate to rotate and roll the workpiece. The workpiece displacement is coordinated with the exhaust hole to blow air upward for cooling. The stirring plate drives the workpiece to move, which facilitates the adjustment of the workpiece cooling point.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a material discharge structure for riveting nuts, comprising a base, a box body fixed on the base, a box door movably installed on the side of the box body, the box door being hinged to the box body, a barrel body fixed on the top of the box body, a cover plate movably installed on the top of the barrel body, a feed hopper fixedly installed on the cover plate, an exhaust port installed on one side of the feed hopper, a discharge port opened on the side of the barrel body, a slide seat fixedly installed on the side of the discharge port, and a buffer assembly movably installed on the slide seat.

[0006] Furthermore, a lifting mechanism is fixedly installed at the bottom of the barrel, and a ring seat is fixed on the lifting mechanism. The ring seat is movably installed inside the barrel, and a baffle is fixed on the inner wall of the barrel.

[0007] Furthermore, a conical seat is fixed inside the barrel body, the conical seat is movably installed inside the ring seat, and a rotating column is rotatably installed inside the conical seat.

[0008] Furthermore, a stirring plate is fixed on the rotating column, an exhaust hole is opened between the conical seat and the box body, an arc-shaped opening is opened on the inner wall of the ring seat, and an inclined plate is fixed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped opening, the inclined plate cooperating with the stirring plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes a slot, which is formed on the slide base, and an arc-shaped seat is movably installed inside the slot, with a fixing post fixed on the arc-shaped seat.

[0010] Furthermore, a support plate is fixed to one end of the fixed column, and a displacement mechanism is fixedly installed on the support plate, with one end of the displacement mechanism fixed to the bottom of the slide base.

[0011] Furthermore, a pipe is fixed inside the housing, a mounting bracket is fixed inside the pipe, and an exhaust fan is fixed on the mounting bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly installed between the pipe and the housing, and the drive motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The discharge structure for rivet nut processing is used in which the drive motor drives the stirring plate to rotate and roll the workpiece. The workpiece displacement is matched with the exhaust hole to blow air upward to cool it down. The stirring plate drives the workpiece to move, which facilitates the adjustment of the workpiece cooling point.

[0015] 2. In this type of rivet nut processing discharge structure, the workpiece falls from the discharge port onto the slide seat in the later stage. The workpiece slides downward on the slide seat. The sliding and buffer components cooperate to roll and move, increasing the contact time with the outside air, and the workpiece is cooled down again by the outside air.

[0016] 3. The material discharge structure for rivet nut processing has a displacement mechanism that pushes an arc-shaped seat to move inside the slot. Adjusting the moving distance of the arc-shaped seat changes the contact area with the workpiece. The contact between the workpiece and the arc-shaped seat increases the tumbling height and reduces the speed at which the workpiece falls downward. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a material discharge structure for riveting nuts, including a base 1, a box body 2 fixed on the base 1, a box door 3 movably installed on the side of the box body 2, the box door 3 being hinged to the box body 2, a barrel body 4 fixed on the top of the box body 2, a cover plate 5 movably installed on the top of the barrel body 4, a feed hopper 6 fixedly installed on the cover plate 5, an exhaust port 7 installed on one side of the feed hopper 6, and a discharge port 8 opened on the side of the barrel body 4. A slide seat 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the barrel 4, and a buffer assembly 10 is movably installed on the slide seat 9. A lifting mechanism 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the barrel 4, and a ring seat 12 is fixed on the lifting mechanism 11. The ring seat 12 is movably installed inside the barrel 4. A baffle 23 is fixed on the inner wall of the barrel 4. Both the lifting mechanism 11 and the displacement mechanism 29 are linear reciprocating electric push rods. The lifting mechanism 11 pushes the ring seat 12 to move up and down to change the height of the arc-shaped opening 17, thereby controlling the subsequent material discharge status.

[0025] In this embodiment, a conical seat 13 is fixed inside the barrel 4. The conical seat 13 is movably installed inside the ring seat 12. A rotating column 14 is rotatably installed inside the conical seat 13. A stirring plate 16 is fixed on the rotating column 14. The stirring plate 16 moves the workpiece inside the conical seat 13 to cool it down. An exhaust hole 15 is opened between the conical seat 13 and the box 2. An arc-shaped opening 17 is opened on the inner wall of the ring seat 12. An inclined plate 18 is fixed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped opening 17. The inclined plate 18 cooperates with the stirring plate 16. The buffer assembly 10 includes a slot 25. The slot 25 is opened on the slide seat 9. An arc-shaped seat 26 is movably installed inside the slot 25. A fixing column 27 is fixed on the arc-shaped seat 26. The inclined plate 18 cooperates with the stirring plate 16. The stirring plate 16 centrifugally rotates the workpiece. The centrifugally rotated workpiece cooperates with the inclined plate 18 and enters the arc-shaped opening 17 for discharge.

[0026] In this embodiment, a support plate 28 is fixed to one end of the fixed column 27, and a displacement mechanism 29 is fixedly installed on the support plate 28. One end of the displacement mechanism 29 is fixed to the bottom of the slide seat 9. A pipe 19 is fixed inside the box 2, and a fixing frame 20 is fixed inside the pipe 19. An exhaust fan 21 is fixed on the fixing frame 20. A drive motor 22 is fixedly installed between the pipe 19 and the box 2. The drive motor 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column 14. The exhaust fan 21 blows air upwards, and the airflow is blown out through the exhaust hole 15 to actively cool the workpiece.

[0027] In use, the base 1 is installed at one end of the discharge equipment. The discharge equipment drops the formed workpiece into the inside of the feed hopper 6. The workpiece falls from the inside of the feed hopper 6 into the inside of the conical seat 13. The center of the conical seat 13 moves, and the drive motor 22 is started to drive the stirring plate 16 to move the workpiece. The stirring plate 16 drives the workpiece to rotate and move for initial cooling. The exhaust fan 21 is started, and air is drawn in through the air inlet at the box door 3. The airflow is discharged upward from the exhaust hole 15. Under the rotation of the stirring plate 16, the workpieces at different positions are cooled through the exhaust hole 15. During cooling, the lifting mechanism 11 pushes the ring seat 12 upward. The upward movement of the ring seat 12 causes the arc-shaped opening 17 to meet the discharge... The material outlet 8 is staggered vertically to prevent the workpiece from falling out of the discharge outlet 8 during the workpiece's rotation and cooling. After cooling, the ring seat 12 is moved downwards, and the arc-shaped outlet 17 is moved to the side of the conical seat 13. Under the agitation of the stirring plate 16, the workpiece is centrifugally rotated. The workpiece under centrifugal rotation moves to the side and, in conjunction with the inclined plate 18, is guided into the interior of the arc-shaped outlet 17. It then falls through the arc-shaped outlet 17 and the discharge outlet 8 onto the slide seat 9 for discharge. Before the workpiece is discharged, the displacement mechanism 29 is activated to move the support plate 28. The support plate 28 moves to adjust the height of the arc-shaped seat 26 exposed inside the slot 25. The workpiece tumbles by contacting and colliding with the arc-shaped seat 26. After tumbling and contacting the air, it is cooled again for reuse.
