Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic feeding technology, specifically to the feeding mechanism of an automatic assembly equipment for locking devices. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of latches, latch assembly is a crucial step in the production process. Traditional latch assembly methods mostly rely on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also prone to inconsistent assembly quality. With the development of industrial automation technology, more and more companies are adopting automated assembly equipment to improve production efficiency and product quality.
[0003] Existing material unloading mechanisms generally lack quality inspection capabilities, making it impossible to perform real-time inspection and screening of assembled latches. This results in unassembled or substandard latches being mixed with qualified products, affecting the overall product quality. Most mechanisms employ simple chute or conveyor belt designs, lacking effective latch distribution and collection mechanisms. Consequently, manual placement and arrangement are still required after unloading, impacting production efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, a material discharge mechanism for an automatic lock assembly equipment is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a material discharge mechanism for an automatic lock assembly equipment in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A discharge mechanism for an automatic lock assembly device includes a support platform. A guide channel is fixedly connected to the left side of the top surface of the support platform, and the left end of the guide channel is connected to the discharge position of the automatic lock assembly device. A sorting mechanism is provided in the middle of the top surface of the support platform, and the sorting mechanism is located below the right end of the guide channel. A collection box is fixedly connected to the rear side of the support platform. An arrangement and storage component is provided in front of the sorting mechanism. A sliding control component for controlling the lateral movement of the arrangement and storage component is installed on the top surface of the support platform. A prompting component is also provided on the top surface of the support platform.
[0008] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism includes a mounting frame, which is fixedly connected to the center of the top surface of the support platform. A first motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting frame, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output of the first motor. A support frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, and a diversion groove is fixedly connected to the end of the support frame. An electronic scale is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the diversion groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the arrangement and storage component includes a fixed box, the top of which is movably snapped with a storage box, and the inner wall of the storage box is fixedly connected with partitions at equal intervals.
[0010] Furthermore, the sliding control assembly includes a mounting shell, which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support platform. A second motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting shell, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. A connecting frame is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod, and the top surface of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed box. Sliding grooves are provided through the front and back of the mounting shell, and the inner wall of the sliding groove is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the alarm mounting base of the prompting component is fixedly connected to the top left side of the support platform. The surface of the mounting base is fixedly mounted with a through-beam sensor transmitter and an audible and visual alarm, and the back of the fixing box is fixedly mounted with a through-beam sensor receiver.
[0012] Furthermore, the top surface of both the collection box and the storage box is lower than the bottom surface of the diversion channel.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] After assembly, the latches are fed into the sorting mechanism along the guide channel. The sorting mechanism checks if the weight meets the standard. If assembly is not completed and the weight is insufficient, the sorting mechanism will control the latches to slide backward into the collection box for storage. When the weight meets the standard, the sorting mechanism sends the latches into the arrangement and storage assembly. By controlling the movement of the sliding control assembly, the arrangement and storage assembly can be moved laterally at equal intervals, so that multiple latches can be evenly distributed inside the arrangement and storage assembly. When the arrangement and storage assembly is full, the indicator component will sound an audible and visual alarm. The operator can then transfer the arrangement and storage assembly. In use, this utility model facilitates the quality inspection of the latches after assembly, avoids mixing qualified and unqualified products, ensures product quality, and can automatically arrange and place the latches without manual operation, thus improving production efficiency.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a material discharge mechanism of an automatic lock assembly equipment includes a support platform 1. A guide channel 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top surface of the support platform 1. The left end of the guide channel 2 is connected to the material discharge position of the automatic lock assembly equipment. A sorting mechanism 3 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the support platform 1. The sorting mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301, and the mounting frame 301 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the support platform 1. A first motor 302 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting frame 301. The output of the first motor 302 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 303. A support frame 304 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 303. A diversion channel 305 is fixedly connected to the end of the support frame 304. An electronic scale 306 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the diversion channel 305. It should be noted that when the latch falls into the diversion trough 305, the electronic scale 306 detects its weight. The first motor 302 drives the rotating shaft 303 to rotate, which in turn drives the support frame 304 to rotate, thus controlling the rotation of the diversion trough 305. When the electronic scale 306 detects that the weight is not up to standard, the diversion trough 305 rotates backward, which sends the latch into the collection box 4 for storage. When the detected weight is up to standard, the latch is sent forward into the arrangement and storage assembly 5. The electronic scale 306 and the first motor 302 can be controlled by conventional control equipment such as a PLC controller. The specific control principle will not be elaborated here.
[0026] The sorting mechanism 3 is located below the right end of the guide channel 2. A collection box 4 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the support platform 1. An arrangement and storage assembly 5 is provided on the front side of the sorting mechanism 3. The arrangement and storage assembly 5 includes a fixed box 501. A storage box 502 is movably latched to the top of the fixed box 501. A partition 503 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 502 at equal intervals. More specifically, by setting multiple partitions 503, the interior of the partitions 503 is divided into multiple storage spaces, thereby storing the latches separately. The fixed box 501 can limit the storage box 502. When the storage box 502 is full, it can be removed from the fixed box 501.
[0027] A sliding control component 6 for controlling the lateral movement of the arrangement and storage assembly 5 is installed on the top surface of the support platform 1. The sliding control component 6 includes a mounting shell 601, which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support platform 1. A second motor 602 is fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting shell 601. A threaded rod 603 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 602. A connecting frame 604 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 603, and the top surface of the connecting frame 604 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing box 501. Sliding grooves 605 are provided through the front and back of the mounting shell 601, and the inner wall of the sliding groove 605 is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting frame 604. It should be noted that the operation of the second motor 602 can drive the threaded rod 603 to rotate. Under the action of the thread, the connecting frame 604 will slide along the inner wall of the sliding groove 605, thereby pulling the arrangement and storage assembly 5 to move laterally, so that the assembled latches can accurately fall into the multiple storage spaces formed by the partition 503.
[0028] A prompting component is also provided on the top surface of the support platform 1. The prompting component has an alarm mounting base 7, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the top surface of the support platform 1. A through-beam sensor transmitter 8 and an audible and visual alarm 10 are fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting base 7, and a through-beam sensor receiver 9 is fixedly mounted on the back of the fixed box 501. More specifically, when the fixed box 501 is moved to the leftmost end, the through-beam sensor receiver 9 will align with the through-beam sensor transmitter 8, and the through-beam sensor receiver 9 will receive the signal emitted by the through-beam sensor transmitter 8. At this time, the audible and visual alarm 10 can automatically sound and light an alarm, indicating that the internal structure of the storage assembly 5 is full, and the user can then move the fixed box 501 as a whole. The through-beam sensor transmitter 8, through-beam sensor receiver 9, and audible and visual alarm 10 can be controlled by conventional equipment such as a PLC. The specific control principle is a mature existing technology and will not be elaborated here.
[0029] The top surfaces of the collection box 4 and the storage box 502 are both lower than the bottom surface of the diversion channel 305. It should be noted that by setting a lower height, interference between the diversion channel 305 and the storage box 502 and the collection box 4 is avoided when the channel rotates.
[0030] In summary: After assembly, the latches are fed into the sorting mechanism 3 along the guide channel 2. The sorting mechanism 3 checks whether the weight meets the standard. If assembly is not completed and the weight is insufficient, the sorting mechanism 3 will control the latches to slide backward into the collection box 4 for storage. When the weight meets the standard, the sorting mechanism 3 sends the latches into the arrangement and storage assembly 5. By operating the sliding control assembly 6, the arrangement and storage assembly 5 can be moved laterally at equal intervals, so that multiple latches can be evenly distributed inside the arrangement and storage assembly 5. When the arrangement and storage assembly 5 is full, the prompting component will issue an audible and visual alarm. The operator can then transfer the arrangement and storage assembly 5. In use, this utility model achieves the effect of convenient quality inspection of the latches after assembly, avoids the mixing of qualified and unqualified products, ensures product quality, and can automatically arrange and place the latches without manual operation, thus improving production efficiency.
