Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and specifically to an adjustable angle feeding slide. Background Technology

[0002] Press-fit nut studs, also known as press-fit studs or nut studs, are fasteners used in sheet metal, thin plates, chassis, and cabinets. A press-fit nut stud has a hexagonal shape at one end and a cylindrical shape at the other. A relief groove runs between the hexagonal edge and the cylindrical shape, and its internal shape is an internal thread. A press machine presses the hexagonal head into a pre-drilled hole in the thin plate (the diameter of the pre-drilled hole is generally slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical part of the press-fit stud), causing plastic deformation around the hole. The deformed portion is squeezed into the relief groove of the press-fit nut stud, thus securing the press-fit nut stud to the thin plate and forming an effective, fixed internal thread on the thin plate.

[0003] The existing nut column processing uses a vibratory feeder for feeding, utilizing the nut's own weight and the vibration of the vibratory feeder. While the vibratory feeder has the advantage of continuous feeding, the existing feeding chute can only feed at a fixed angle and cannot adjust the feeding angle. When it is necessary to increase the processing speed, the feeding speed cannot be increased. Furthermore, the existing feeding device cannot adjust the size of the feeding groove according to the size of the nut, resulting in misalignment of the nut during feeding and inaccurate clamping by the fixture. Improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model provides an adjustable angle feeding chute to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An adjustable angle feeding slide includes a base and a turning fixture assembly. A material guide assembly is rotatably connected to one side of the base. The material guide assembly includes a base, a support seat at one end of the base, and a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the other end. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the base, and a material guide arm is connected to the support seat.

[0007] Preferably, one limb of an L-shaped arm is fixedly connected to the base, and the other limb of the L-shaped arm is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, which is fixedly connected to the base.

[0008] Preferably, the guide arm includes a base plate, a first panel, a second panel, and a middle plate, which together form a guide groove.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom plate is provided with a base groove, which forms part of the material guide groove.

[0010] Preferably, the first panel is provided with a plurality of first adjustment holes.

[0011] Preferably, the intermediate plate is provided with a second adjustment hole corresponding to the first adjustment hole.

[0012] Preferably, the base is provided with an upper limit member.

[0013] Preferably, the base is provided with a lower limiting member.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention allows the guide arm to be adjusted to different tilt angles via a rotating shaft. The steeper the angle, the faster the feeding. The angle can be adjusted as needed to accelerate the feeding speed and improve processing efficiency.

[0016] The distance between the middle plate and the second plate can be adjusted by the first adjustment hole on the first panel and the second adjustment hole on the middle plate, thereby adjusting the width of the guide groove to accommodate nuts of different sizes. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Example: Refer to Figures 1 to 5The present invention discloses an adjustable angle feeding chute, comprising a base 1 and a turning fixture assembly 2. A guide assembly 3 is rotatably connected to one side of the base 1. The guide assembly 3 includes a base 4, which is fixedly connected to the base 1. One end of the base 4 is provided with a support seat 5, and the other end is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 6, which is fixedly connected to the base 1. The support seat 5 is connected to a guide arm 18, the upper end of which is aligned with the outlet of a vibratory feeder (not shown in the figure). The angle of the guide arm 18 can be adjusted by the rotating shaft 6, and different angles can be set as needed. The steeper the angle, the faster the nut falls, thereby adjusting the feeding speed. In a preferred embodiment, one limb of an L-shaped arm 7 is fixedly connected to the base 4, and the other limb of the L-shaped arm 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 6, which is fixedly connected to the base 1. This reduces the overall weight of the base 4, making the equipment lighter.

[0025] Specifically, the guide arm 18 includes a base plate 8, a first panel 9, a second panel 10, and an intermediate plate 11. The base plate 8, the first panel 9, the second panel 10, and the intermediate plate 11 form a guide groove 12. The width of the first panel 9 and the intermediate plate 11 can be adjusted as needed to achieve the goal of adjusting the size of the guide groove 12 to accommodate nuts of different sizes. In a preferred embodiment, the first panel 9 is provided with a plurality of first adjustment holes 14, and the intermediate plate 11 is provided with second adjustment holes 15 corresponding to the first adjustment holes 14. The distance between the intermediate plate 11 and the second panel 10 can be adjusted through the first adjustment holes 14 and / or the second adjustment holes 15, thereby forming guide grooves 12 of different widths to accommodate different nuts.

[0026] Specifically, the base plate 8 is provided with a base groove 13, which constitutes part of the guide groove 12. The base groove 13 and the second panel 10 are fixed, and the width of the guide groove 12 can be adjusted by adjusting the middle plate 11.

[0027] Specifically, the base 1 is equipped with an upper limit member 16 to limit the height of the guide arm 18.

[0028] Specifically, the base 1 is provided with a lower limit member 17 to limit the height of the guide arm 18 as it descends.
