Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metal nut production technology, and in particular relates to a screening device for metal nut production. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process of metal nuts, different sizes of corresponding parts will be produced due to different bolt types. These metal nuts of different sizes need to be screened after production.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number 202021761521.6 discloses a batch screening device for metal nut production, comprising a base, a discharge channel, a feed channel, and a counterweight. A connecting shaft is nested in the middle of the base, and a movable block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting shaft. The outer surface of the movable block has a receiving groove. A docking groove is formed on the inner side of the base and connects to the movable block. A discharge channel is formed at the lower end of the base, and a collection box is nested therein. A feed channel is provided at the upper end of the base. A conveyor belt is nested in the outer end of the connecting shaft, and an eccentric wheel is nested in the end of the conveyor belt. A second sliding groove is formed on the inner side of the upper end of the feed channel. This utility model patent allows nut workpieces of different sizes to be stably and evenly sorted and discharged along the three discharge channels of different diameters as the movable block uniformly moves the workpieces in a forward circumferential motion along the inner side of the base.

[0004] However, the aforementioned utility model patents still have some shortcomings:

[0005] During use, the aforementioned utility model patent uses the rotation of the movable block to drive the nut workpiece to move in a forward circumferential motion along the inner side of the base, allowing nuts of different sizes to enter discharge channels of different diameters. However, when the movable block passes through the first discharge channel, if a larger nut is at the bottom, it will block the discharge channel, preventing smaller nuts from passing through. Furthermore, when passing through the second discharge channel, smaller nuts will fall into that channel, resulting in incomplete screening. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a screening device for the production of metal nuts, including a screening box 1, a feeding hopper 15 installed on the top of the screening box 1, an installation cavity 2 opened inside the screening box 1, a screening cylinder 3 installed inside the installation cavity 2 via a rotating component 4, a plurality of holding slots 5 opened on the side wall of the screening cylinder 3, and at least two screening holes 6 with progressively larger diameters opened sequentially along the rotation direction of the screening cylinder 3 on the bottom side wall of the installation cavity 2, an ejection component 7 installed in each screening hole 6, and an inclined groove 8 opened on the side wall of each screening hole 6, each inclined groove 8 connecting to a collection cavity 10 via a straight groove 9, and a collection frame 11 placed inside the collection cavity 10.

[0027] Specifically, nine holding slots 5 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the screening cylinder 3, with a 40° interval between each two adjacent holding slots 5. The bottom three holding slots 5 each correspond to a screening hole 6. The screening cylinder 3 rotates 40° each time to perform screening. In addition, after each 40° rotation, the screening cylinder 3 pauses for a period of time so that the metal nuts in the holding slots 5 can be ejected and stirred by the ejector component 7, so as to prevent the large metal nuts from blocking the small-diameter screening holes 6.

[0028] The rotating component 4 controls the screening cylinder 3 to rotate clockwise, and the bottom of the mounting cavity 2 has three screening holes 6 with gradually increasing diameters from left to right, so as to screen the metal nuts by size.

[0029] The metal nuts to be screened enter the screening box 1 from the feed hopper 15. The screening cylinder 3 rotates under the action of the rotating component 4. The metal nuts to be screened enter the holding tank 5 in sequence. During the rotation, they are screened when they pass through the screening holes 6 of different diameters.

[0030] The ejector component 7 can eject and disturb the metal nuts in the holding tank 5, pushing away the large metal nuts blocking the inlet of the screening hole 6, allowing the corresponding type of metal nut to pass through the screening hole 6. The metal nuts that pass through the screening hole 6 then enter the collection frame 11 along the corresponding inclined groove 8 and straight groove 9 to complete the screening.

[0031] Furthermore, the ejector assembly 7 includes an electric push rod 71, which is installed inside the screening hole 6, and an ejector block 72 is installed at the telescopic end of the electric push rod 71. The top of the ejector block 72 is set as an inclined surface with the same inclination as the adjacent inclined groove 8.

[0032] Specifically, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 71 pushes the ejector block 72 to move vertically and enter the holding tank 5 to push away the metal nut blocking the screening hole 6, ensuring that the metal nut of the corresponding size can pass through the screening hole 6.

[0033] The top of the ejector block 72 is set as an inclined surface. On the one hand, when the metal nut in the holding groove 5 is lifted, the metal nut can move along the inclined surface. On the other hand, the metal nut entering the screening hole 6 can enter the inclined groove 8 along the inclined surface.

[0034] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 4 includes a rotating rod 41, and the screening cylinder 3 is sleeved and installed on the side wall of the rotating rod 41. One end of the rotating rod 41 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 2, and the other end of the rotating rod 41 passes through the side wall of the mounting cavity 2 and is connected to the output shaft end of the motor 42. The motor 42 is installed on the outer wall of the screening box 1.

[0035] Specifically, the output shaft of motor 42 controls the rotating rod 41 to drive the screening cylinder 3 to rotate, rotating 40° each time, and pausing for a period of time after each rotation before rotating again.

[0036] Furthermore, a channel groove 14 is provided on the top of the screening box 1, and the channel groove 14 is connected to the holding tank 5. The feed hopper 15 is installed at the channel groove 14.

[0037] Specifically, the metal nuts entering the feed hopper 15 pass through the channel groove 14 and fall onto the side wall of the screening cylinder 3. As the screening cylinder 3 rotates, the metal nuts enter the holding tank 5 in sequence, waiting for subsequent screening.

[0038] Furthermore, the inclined trough 8 is connected to the screening hole 6, and the inclined trough 8 is connected to the straight trough 9, which is connected to the collection chamber 10.

[0039] Specifically, the inclined groove 8 is inclinedly opened on the side wall of the screening hole 6, and a straight groove 9 is opened at its inclined bottom end. The screened metal nuts are guided into the collection chamber 10 through the straight groove 9.

[0040] Furthermore, the internal space of the collection frame 11 is divided into collection slots 13 in number, which are the same as the number of screening holes 6, by a partition 12, and each collection slot 13 is connected to a straight groove 9.

[0041] Specifically, the collection box 11 is divided into three collection slots 13 by two partitions 12. The bottom of the three straight slots 9 corresponds to the three collection slots 13 respectively, so as to collect and store the three types of metal nuts separately.

[0042] An installation door 16 is provided outside the screening hole 6 and on the outer wall of the screening box 1, and a storage door 17 is provided outside the collection chamber 10 and on the outer wall of the screening box 1.

[0043] It should be noted that the screening box 1 is also equipped with a battery and a control button. The battery supplies power to the motor 42 and the electric push rod 71, while the control button is used to control the operation of the motor 42 and the electric push rod 71.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: After the utility model is installed, the workers pour the metal nuts to be screened into the feed hopper 15, which then pass through the channel groove 14 and fall onto the side wall of the screening cylinder 3.

[0045] The output shaft of motor 42 controls the rotating rod 41 to drive the screening cylinder 3 to rotate. Each rotation is 40°, and after each rotation, it pauses for a period of time before rotating again. During the rotation of the screening cylinder 3, metal nuts enter the holding tank 5 in sequence.

[0046] When the holding tank 5 rotates to the screening hole 6, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 71 pushes the ejector block 72 to move vertically and enter the holding tank 5, so as to push away the metal nut blocking the screening hole 6 and ensure that the metal nut of the corresponding size can pass through the screening hole 6.

[0047] The metal nut passing through the screening hole 6 falls into the corresponding collection tank 13 through the inclined groove 8 and the straight groove 9, thus completing the screening.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
