Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fastener production equipment technology, specifically to an automatic sorting device for automotive fasteners. Background Technology

[0002] Fasteners are a wide range of mechanical parts used for fastening and connecting various objects, making them a unified whole or maintaining a relatively fixed position. Fasteners include common bolts, nuts, screws, washers, and other fasteners, typically made of steel, possessing high strength and corrosion resistance, and are suitable for applications requiring high strength. Fastener sorting is a crucial step in the fastener manufacturing process, primarily responsible for ensuring product quality, improving production efficiency, reducing costs, and meeting diverse needs. It filters out fasteners whose dimensions (such as diameter, length, and pitch) do not meet standards, preventing mismatches during assembly or affecting connection strength due to dimensional deviations. The system detects surface defects in fasteners (such as cracks, burrs, oxidation, and plating peeling) to prevent defective products from entering the market. It also checks for performance defects in fasteners (such as insufficient hardness and low thread precision) to ensure that products meet industry standards or customer requirements. Through precise sorting, it ensures that the specifications and performance of fasteners in the same batch are highly consistent, improving the overall reliability of the product. It also removes unqualified products in advance to prevent them from entering subsequent stages such as assembly and packaging, reducing failures and losses in downstream processes. It promptly screens out unrepairable scrap products to avoid wasting raw materials on ineffective production, reducing production costs. Finally, it classifies and processes reworkable defective products (such as those with minor surface defects) to reduce the scrap rate.

[0003] Currently, fasteners require manual loading into the hopper during sorting. Since fasteners are usually loaded in heavy frames, batch loading is inefficient. Loading the entire frame into the hopper requires multiple people to lift it together. Although this method can load the fasteners into the hopper, it is labor-intensive. To address these issues, we offer an automatic sorting device for automotive fasteners. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model proposes an automatic sorting device for automotive fasteners. Through the cooperation of a motor, pallet, flip plate and hydraulic cylinder, it solves the problem that filling the hopper with fasteners requires multiple people to lift it together.

This application will not elaborate on their models or internal structures.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic sorting device for automotive fasteners, including a sorting machine body 1 and a hopper 2. The hopper 2 is installed above the sorting machine body 1. A slide 3 is provided on the outside of the sorting machine body 1, and the slide 3 provides support through its overall structure. A support plate 4 is provided inside the slide 3. A flip plate 5 is hinged above the support plate 4. A motor 6 is installed below the support plate 4. A gear 7 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 6. A toothed plate 8 is provided inside the slide 3. The gear 7 meshes with the toothed plate 8. The motor 6 is the power source for the rotation of the gear 7. The motor 6 is a dual-shaft motor. There are two gears 7 and two toothed plates 8. After the gear 7 rotates, it pushes the support plate 4 to move its position under the support of the toothed plate 8.

[0029] The upper surface of the flip plate 5 is connected to a first clamping plate 10, and the inner wall of the flip plate 5 is threaded with a lead screw 11. One end of the lead screw 11 is rotatably connected to a second clamping plate 12. One side of the second clamping plate 12 slides in contact with the upper surface of the flip plate 5. The material frame is clamped inside by the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 12 to maintain the stability of the material frame. The driving force generated by rotating the lead screw 11 provides power for the second clamping plate 12 to move.

[0030] A hydraulic cylinder 9 is installed below the flip plate 5. The upper surface of the support plate 4 is connected to a base 13. The fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base 13. The lower surface of the flip plate 5 is connected to a base 24. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base 24. The base 13 provides support for the hydraulic cylinder 9 to maintain its stability. The flip plate 5 receives the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder 9 through the base 24 and provides power for the flip plate 5 to swing. After the flip plate 5 moves, it drives the material frame to flip at the same time. After the material frame flips, the internal fasteners are poured into the hopper 2.

[0031] The upper surface of the pallet 4 is connected to a positioning bracket 15, and the lower surface of the flip plate 5 is connected to a positioning pin 16. The positioning bracket 15 and the positioning pin 16 are compatible. After the flip plate 5 is retracted, the positioning pin 16 is inserted into the interior of the positioning bracket 15 to maintain the stability of the flip plate 5. At the same time, the positioning bracket 15 and the positioning pin 16 provide support for the flip plate 5, so that a gap is created between the flip plate 5 and the pallet 4, providing a space for the hydraulic cylinder 9.

[0032] The inner wall of the carriage 3 is connected to a support rod 17. One side of the toothed plate 8 is connected to one side of the positioning rod. The support rod 17 provides support for the toothed plate 8 and maintains the stability of the toothed plate 8.

[0033] The inner wall of the carriage 3 is provided with a slide rail 18, and the outer surface of the support plate 4 is connected with a slider 19. The outer surface of the slider 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail 18. The slide rail 18 guides and supports the slider 19 to maintain its stability. The slider 19 provides support force for the support plate 4 to maintain its stability.

[0034] Four support legs 20 are connected to the lower surface of the support plate 4, and the four support legs 20 are located at the four corners of the support plate 4. Rubber pads 21 are connected to the bottom of the support legs 20. The support legs 20 contact the ground to lift the support plate 4, so that the support plate 4 is separated from the ground, providing space for the motor 6. The rubber pads 21 contact the ground to absorb the impact force during descent.

[0035] A connecting rod 22 is connected to one side of the sorting machine body 1. The other end of the connecting rod 22 is connected to the outer surface of the slide 3. The slide 3 is connected to the sorting machine body 1 through the connecting rod 22, which increases the stability of the slide 3.

[0036] Working principle: In use, first place the material frame above the flip plate 5, then rotate the screw 11. After the screw 11 rotates, it pushes the second clamping plate 12 to move. After the second clamping plate 12 moves, it tightly clamps the material frame inside the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 12, maintaining the stability of the material frame. Then start the motor 6. After the motor 6 starts, it drives the gear 7 to rotate. After the gear 7 rotates, it pushes the support plate 4 to move through the support of the toothed plate 8. At the same time, the support plate 4 moves, and the flip plate 5 drives the material frame to move upward. After the material frame moves to the position of the hopper 2, start the hydraulic cylinder 9. After the hydraulic cylinder 9 starts, it pushes the flip plate 5 to flip. After the flip plate 5 flips, it pours the fasteners inside the material frame into the hopper 2.
