Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snap-on feeding technology, specifically to an automatic feeding device for plastic snaps. Background Technology

[0002] A snap-fit ​​connection is a mechanism used for inserting or locking one part to another, typically used for connecting plastic parts. The material used is usually a flexible plastic. The biggest advantage of snap-fit ​​connections is their ease of installation and disassembly, allowing for tool-free removal.

[0003] On automated production lines, the feeding, unloading, and assembly of plastic clips are generally completed by robotic arms. Existing feeding equipment is prone to material accumulation and jamming when feeding as a whole. Once this problem occurs, the material accumulation and compression can easily damage the plastic clips. Moreover, it is difficult to repair after jamming, which affects subsequent assembly. If feeding is done by a separate feeding mechanism, the long stroke makes it difficult to control and coordinate with the robotic arm, and subsequent debugging is difficult, which presents problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, this utility model provides an automatic feeding device for plastic buckles to solve the existing problems.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for plastic buckles, including a mounting base, characterized in that: a support plate is fixedly connected to the mounting base, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the support plate, an adapter is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder, a material tube is fixedly connected to the adapter, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base, a through hole is opened on the fixing plate, and two baffle plates are rotatably connected in the through hole of the fixing plate.

[0006] Preferably, the top end of the material tube is fixedly connected to a flexible hose, the other end of the flexible hose is connected to a feeding mechanism, and the material tube passes through the through hole of the fixed plate without contacting the fixed plate.

[0007] Preferably, one end of a torsion spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle plate, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the through hole of the fixed plate.

[0008] Preferably, the two air ports of the cylinder are respectively fixedly connected to the two air ports of the solenoid valve.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in the following: plastic clips can be stored in the material tube in advance, and the stored plastic clips can be placed by pressing down the cylinder to push open the baffle. The feeding stroke is short, and the front end can be fed separately, avoiding the problem of plastic clips piling up. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

[0021] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figure relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, an element described as being “down” of other elements or features would be positioned “up” of those other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments: such as Figures 1-7 The present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for plastic clips, including a mounting base 1, a support plate 6 fixedly connected to the mounting base 1, and a cylinder 7 fixedly connected to the support plate 6. In this embodiment, the two air inlets of the cylinder 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the two air holes of a solenoid valve 2, and the extension and retraction of the cylinder 7 can be controlled by the solenoid valve 2; an adapter 3 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 7, and a material tube 5 is fixedly connected to the adapter 3. A flexible hose 4 is fixedly connected to the top end of the material tube 5, and the other end of the flexible hose 4 is connected to a feeding mechanism. The plastic clips enter the material tube 5 through the flexible hose 4, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The mounting base 1 shown is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 8 at its bottom. A through hole is opened on the fixing plate 8. The material tube 5 passes through the through hole of the fixing plate 8 without contacting the fixing plate 8. Two baffle plates 9 are rotatably connected inside the through hole of the fixing plate 8. One end of a torsion spring 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle plate 9. The other end of the torsion spring 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the through hole of the fixing plate 8. When the torsion spring 10 is not under force, the baffle plate 9 is in a horizontal state. The two baffle plates 9 are rotatably connected to both sides of the through hole of the fixing plate 8, and the two baffle plates 9 can block the material tube 5.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Initially, the bottom of the material tube 5 is in contact with the two baffle plates 9, and the baffle plates 9 remain horizontal. The feeding mechanism sends the plastic buckle into the material tube 5 through the hose 4. The plastic buckle falls to the bottom of the material tube 5 and is blocked by the baffle plates 9. The solenoid valve 2 is activated to control the cylinder 7 to extend and retract. The material tube 5 extends and retracts with the piston rod of the cylinder 7. The material tube 5 moves down and pushes open the baffle plates 9. The buckle disengages from the material tube 5, completing one feeding cycle. The feeding interval can be adjusted by the solenoid valve 2 according to actual production. The front end can be fed separately and stored in the material tube 5. The buckle in the material tube 5 can be fed at any time according to the robotic arm assembled at the rear end. The feeding stroke is short and the feeding time is short, which allows time for feeding the front end of the hose 4.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
