Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nut manufacturing, specifically a nut fastening and detection system. Background Technology

[0002] A nut is a fastener that is screwed onto a bolt or threaded rod to secure it. Nuts are used to tightly connect mechanical equipment. They are connected to bolts of the same specifications through internal threads. Nuts can be classified into many types according to their shape, with hexagonal nuts being a common type.

[0003] During production, external hexagonal nuts must be fastened and their sealing performance must be tested. Currently, these two processes are carried out using different devices, requiring the external hexagonal nuts to be moved from one device to another to complete the two processes, which is time-consuming and inconvenient to operate. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention aims to provide a nut fastening and detection system that can solve the problems existing in the background art. The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A nut fastening and detection system includes a linear transfer mechanism, an NG (non-compliant) product unloading mechanism, a frame, a sealing detection mechanism, an automatic locking hexagonal nozzle mechanism, a feed direct vibration feeder mechanism, and a material distribution mechanism. The linear transfer mechanism, NG product unloading mechanism, sealing detection mechanism, automatic locking hexagonal nozzle mechanism, feed direct vibration feeder mechanism, and material distribution mechanism are all mounted on the frame. An OK (compliant) product unloading mechanism is also mounted on the frame. The system operates as follows: The material distribution mechanism positions and feeds out the hexagonal nuts in an orderly manner. The feeder mechanism distributes the neatly arranged hexagonal nuts, controlling the output of one nut at a time. The linear transfer mechanism moves the hexagonal nuts at a fixed distance to the automatic hexagonal nozzle locking mechanism, sealing detection mechanism, NG (not good) product unloading mechanism, and OK (good) product unloading mechanism. The sealing detection mechanism performs a sealing test on the hexagonal nuts with the nozzles attached. The sealing detection mechanism blocks the holes of the hexagonal nuts and performs an air permeability test. The system displays the test results. If the test result is NG, the linear transfer mechanism moves to the next station, and the lateral gripper removes the NG product. If the test result is OK, the product is not removed. Finally, the linear transfer mechanism pushes the OK product into the OK product unloading mechanism and slides it into the box. This system only requires manual material addition and pressing the start button for automatic production. When the finished product box is full, it is manually replaced.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the material distribution mechanism adopts a circular vibratory feeder. The bulk hexagonal nuts are manually added. After the circular vibratory feeder is started, it rotates and feeds out the hexagonal nuts in a predetermined direction in an orderly manner.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a protective cover is installed on the outside of the circular vibratory plate and sound-absorbing sponge is attached to the inner wall of the protective cover.

[0008] As a further improvement of this invention, the protective cover is made of sheet metal, which has a long service life.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the feeding direct vibration feeder mechanism includes a direct vibration track, a vibrator and a feeding mechanism. The external hexagonal nuts fed out by the material distribution mechanism enter the direct vibration track. The vibrator works to make the direct vibration track vibrate, moving the external hexagonal nuts in sequence. The end of the feeding direct vibration feeder mechanism blocks the external hexagonal nuts and outputs only one at a time. The single external hexagonal nut output is pushed into the next process by the feeding mechanism.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the linear transfer mechanism includes a moving block with multiple slots, each slot being adapted to an external hexagonal nut, and each slot having a corresponding action station above it. The linear transfer mechanism reciprocates at equal distances, and its function is to move the external hexagonal nut sequentially by the same distance, thereby sequentially transporting the external hexagonal nut to the area below each action station.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the automatic locking hexagonal nozzle mechanism includes a transverse module, a locking head, and a hopper. The linear transfer mechanism moves the hexagonal nut to this station. The transverse module drives the locking head to move. The locking head picks up the hexagonal nozzle from the hopper and moves it above the hexagonal nut. The locking head performs a locking action on the hexagonal nut. The locking torque can be adjusted in the system.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This product integrates the locking and sealing detection of external hexagonal nuts, making it easy to operate and time-saving. Attached Figure Description

The linear transfer mechanism 1 moves the hexagonal nuts at a fixed distance to the automatic locking hexagonal nozzle mechanism 5, the sealing detection mechanism 4, the NG (not good) product unloading mechanism 2, and the OK (good) product unloading mechanism. The sealing detection mechanism 4 performs a sealing test on the hexagonal nuts with the locking nozzle attached. The sealing detection mechanism 4 blocks the holes of the hexagonal nuts and performs an air permeability test. The system displays the test results. If the test result is NG, the linear transfer mechanism 1 moves to the next station, and the lateral gripper removes the NG product. If the test result is OK, the product is not removed. Finally, the linear transfer mechanism 1 pushes the OK product into the OK product unloading mechanism and slides it into the box. This system only requires manual material addition and pressing the start button; the equipment will then automatically start production. When the finished product box is full, it needs to be manually replaced.

[0020] In one embodiment of this utility model, the material distribution mechanism 7 adopts a circular vibratory feeder. The bulk hexagonal nuts are manually added, and the circular vibratory feeder rotates after starting, feeding the hexagonal nuts out in a predetermined direction in an orderly manner, thereby realizing the material distribution and conveying of irregularly shaped hexagonal nuts.

[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, the feeding direct vibration feeder mechanism 6 includes a direct vibration track, a vibrator, and a feeding mechanism. The external hexagonal nuts fed out by the material distribution mechanism 7 enter the direct vibration track. The vibrator works to make the direct vibration track vibrate, moving the external hexagonal nuts sequentially. The end of the feeding direct vibration feeder mechanism 6 blocks the external hexagonal nuts and outputs only one at a time. The single external hexagonal nut output is pushed into the next process by the feeding mechanism.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, the linear transplanting mechanism 1 includes a moving block with multiple slots. Each slot is adapted to an external hexagonal nut, and each slot corresponds to an action station. The linear transplanting mechanism 1 reciprocates at equal distances to move the external hexagonal nuts sequentially by the same distance, thereby conveying the external hexagonal nuts to the area below each action station.

[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, the automatic locking hexagonal nozzle mechanism 5 includes a transverse module, a locking head, and a hopper. The linear transfer mechanism 1 moves the hexagonal nut to this station. The transverse module drives the locking head to move. The locking head picks up the hexagonal nozzle from the hopper and moves it above the hexagonal nut. The locking head performs a locking action on the hexagonal nut. The locking torque can be adjusted in the system.
