Detailed Implementation

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] Example 1: As Figures 1-5 ,include:

[0029] A vibrating feeder includes a material barrel 100, and a feeding track 120 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the material barrel 100. The feeding track 120 is spiral.

[0030] Material feeding assembly, which includes a guide rail 200 and a snap plate 230 slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail 200;

[0031] The sorting component includes a material handling track 300 and a miniature belt feeder 320;

[0032] The feeding assembly includes a feeding tube 400 and a fastening tube 410.

[0033] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: Buttons are placed inside the material bin 100. A spiral feeding track 120 fixed to its inner wall vibrates under the drive of a vibrating feeder. Under the action of vibration, the buttons move upwards along the spiral feeding track 120 towards the top of the material bin. The initial conveying of the buttons is achieved using the principle of a vibrating plate. A button-shifting plate 230, slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail 200, can block and shift the buttons during subsequent operations to adjust their position and posture. This is similar to the material handling track 300 and micro-feeding components. The belt feeder 320 is mainly used for sorting and re-transporting buttons. The sorting track 300 is designed to screen out correctly placed buttons. The mini belt feeder 320 is responsible for transporting the screened buttons. The feeding tube 400 and button-attaching tube 410 of the feeding component are the final links in the button feeding process. They transport the sorted buttons to the button-attaching structure of the button-attaching machine to complete the button feeding work. The four components work together to form a complete process from the initial feeding and sorting of buttons to the final delivery to the button-attaching machine.

[0034] Example 2: Figures 1-4 The inner wall of the material bucket 100 holds the buckles. The bottom outer wall of the material bucket 100 is fixedly installed with the support leg 110. The feeding track 120 extends spirally from the bottom inner wall of the material bucket 100 to the top of the material bucket 100 and then to the outside of the material bucket 100. The bottom input end of the feeding track 120 is provided with an opening 121, and the end of the opening is the feed inlet 122. The guide rail 200 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the input end of the feed inlet 122. The inner wall of the guide rail 200 is threadedly connected to the screw 210. The inner wall of the guide rail 200 is slidably connected to the snap plate 230. The inner wall of the snap plate 230 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 210. The top outer wall of the screw 210 is fixedly installed with the handwheel 220. The gap between the bottom outer wall of the snap plate 230 and the top outer wall of the feeding track 120 is slightly larger than the height of the buckle.

[0035] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: The opening 121 and the feed inlet 122 at the bottom of the feeding track 120 are the connection points between the feeding assembly and the feeding track 120, providing a channel for the button to enter the feeding assembly. The guide rail 200 is fixed to the outer wall of the feed inlet 122. By rotating the screw 210, since the screw 210 is threadedly connected to the snap plate 230, the rotation of the screw 210 will cause the snap plate 230 to slide up and down on the inner wall of the guide rail 200. When the snap plate 230 slides to the appropriate position, the gap between its bottom end and the top of the feeding track 120 is slightly larger than the height of the button. This can block buttons that do not meet the requirements and only allow buttons with the appropriate posture and position to pass through, thereby adjusting the posture and position of the buttons and ensuring that the buttons entering the next stage meet the requirements.

[0036] Example 3: Figure 3 and Figure 4The inner wall of the feeding track 300 is provided with a feeding groove 310. The shape of the feeding groove 310 is adapted to the shape of the correctly placed button. The size of the feeding groove 310 is slightly larger than the shape of the button to ensure that the correctly placed button can enter the interior of the feeding groove 310. The bottom of the feeding groove 310 is provided with a through groove. A miniature belt feeder 320 is fixedly installed inside the through groove. The miniature belt feeder 320 includes a feeding belt and a miniature servo motor for driving the feeding belt to rotate. The top of the feeding belt is flush with the bottom inner wall of the feeding groove 310. The feeding pipe 400 is fixedly connected to the output end of the feeding groove 310. The output end of the feeding pipe 400 is vertically fixedly installed with a button attaching pipe 410. The button attaching pipe 410 is connected to the button attaching structure of the button attaching machine to vertically transport the button to the surface of the garment to be attached.

[0037] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: The shape of the feeding groove 310 on the inner wall of the material handling track 300 is adapted to the shape of the correctly placed buttons, and its size is slightly larger. When the buttons from the feeding assembly enter the material handling track 300, only the correctly placed buttons can fall smoothly into the feeding groove 310, while other incorrectly positioned buttons are blocked outside, thereby achieving the screening and sorting of buttons. A miniature belt feeder 320 is installed in the through groove at the bottom of the feeding groove 310. Its miniature servo motor drives the feeding belt to rotate. Because the top of the feeding belt is close to the feeding... The bottom inner wall of the feed trough 310 is flush with the feed trough. The correctly positioned buttons that fall into the feed trough 310 will be moved forward by the feed belt to complete the button delivery. The feed pipe 400 is connected to the output end of the feed trough 310, receives the buttons delivered by the mini belt feeder 320, and continues to deliver the buttons forward. The button attaching pipe 410, which is vertically installed at the output end of the feed pipe 400, is connected to the button attaching structure of the button attaching machine. Finally, the buttons are vertically delivered to the surface of the garment to be attached, completing the entire button delivery process and preparing the button attaching machine for button attaching operations.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When used by those skilled in the art, the vibrating feeder causes the buttons inside the material hopper 100 to rise and be conveyed under the vibration of the spiral feeding track 120. By rotating the handwheel 220, the screw 210 is driven, causing the button-picking plate 230 to slide on the guide rail 200, screening buttons with suitable postures. Next, the feeding trough 310 of the sorting track 300 screens out the correctly placed buttons, which are then conveyed by the miniature belt feeder 320. Finally, through the feeding pipe 400 and the button-attaching pipe 410, the buttons are vertically delivered to the working position of the button-attaching machine, completing the automatic button feeding.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
