A cylinder connecting block connected to the drive shaft of the cylinder is connected to the sliding plate 10. A force monitoring component 11 for monitoring the cylinder pressure is connected to the sliding plate 10. A material distribution pressing block 12 is connected to the sliding plate 10 facing the E-type snap ring guide rod 8. A material distribution pressing groove 13 for installing the product is opened on the material distribution pressing block 12.

[0029] In this invention, the snap ring vibratory feeder 1 is fixed to the vibratory feeder mounting plate via a slot. The slot has an adjustment distance of 24mm, allowing for fine-tuning as needed. This is standard practice for those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated further. A guide rod connecting sheet metal 14 is connected to the vibratory feeder mounting plate. A guide rod adjusting block 15 is connected to the guide rod connecting sheet metal 14 via a rotating shaft. The guide rod connecting sheet metal 14 has an adjustment hole, and an adjusting rod that slides within the adjustment hole is connected to the guide rod adjusting block 15. The top of the guide rod adjusting block 15 abuts against the E-type snap ring guide rod 8.

[0030] The force monitoring component 11 of this utility model includes a force connecting block 111, a force block 112, a pressure sensor 113, and a pressure sensor connecting block 114. The force connecting block 111 is connected to the sliding plate 10.

Simultaneously, a displacement sensor 18 is connected to the side of the fixed base 2 via a displacement fixing bracket 17. A displacement sensor phase block 19, which contacts and cooperates with the displacement sensor 18, is connected to the sliding plate 10. This further improves the pressing of the product, thereby increasing the accuracy of pressing and ultimately improving work efficiency.

[0031] In this invention, both the sliding plate 10 and the material distribution and pressing groove 13 are equipped with vacuum adsorption channels, and these channels are interconnected. The material distribution and pressing groove 13 has an adsorption port 23 for adsorbing products. A vacuum generator 16 is connected to the fixing base 2, and the vacuum generator 16 is connected to the vacuum adsorption channels through a vacuum filter and a vent pipe. This structure enables rapid and stable adsorption and fixing of products, improving work efficiency.

[0032] In this invention, the discharge bracket 6 is equipped with an upper light sensor 20 for sensing the product on the E-type snap ring guide rod 8, and a lower light sensor 21 for sensing the product on the dispensing and pressing groove 13. The upper light sensor 20 indicates whether the product has been pre-loaded to its limit, and the lower light sensor 21 indicates whether the product has been confirmed to be in place, thus improving pre-loading efficiency.

The length of this gap is less than or equal to half the product thickness. The discharge limiting plate ensures stable pressing of the product while guaranteeing that only one product is in operation during the pressing process, preventing other products from being blocked. This ensures accurate pressing and prevents jamming.

[0034] Meanwhile, the discharge limit plate is connected to the guide rod connecting block by adjusting bolts. The gap can be adjusted by adjusting the bolts to ensure that only one product passes through at a time.

[0035] This invention also includes a pressure display for pressure detection, making it convenient for operators to view.

[0036] The cylinder and cylinder connecting plate are connected by four countersunk holes. The force block and force connecting block are also connected by four countersunk holes. The force connecting block is connected to the sliding plate by four coaxial screw holes and two coaxial pin holes. The guide rail is fixed to the sliding plate by four threaded holes. The two sliders are fixed to the fixed plate by four threaded holes respectively. The cylinder connecting plate is locked to the fixed plate by two coaxial threaded holes. The vacuum filter is threaded onto the vacuum generator, which is then fixed to the mounting base. One end of the guide rod connecting block is secured to the E-type snap ring guide rod via two countersunk holes, while the other end is connected to the discharge bracket (composed of a mounting block) via four countersunk holes and two coaxial pin holes. The upper and lower fiber optic sensors are connected to the discharge bracket via sensor connecting sheet metal 18. The material distribution and pressing block is fixed to the sliding plate via four threaded holes. The displacement sensor is secured by the sensor connecting block with a C-type clamp. The pressure sensor connecting block is fixed to the pressure sensor via four countersunk holes. The sensor limit block is fixed to the side of the sliding plate via two threaded holes and two coaxial pin holes. The pressure display is fixed to the mounting plate via sheet metal connection.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0038] In actual operation, when not in operation, the cylinder is in the retracted state. The E-type retaining ring slides down from the retaining ring vibratory plate along the E-type retaining ring guide rod and falls onto the material distribution and pressing block. The vacuum generator generates suction to hold the retaining ring. After the fiber optic sensor detects the retaining ring, the cylinder extends and pushes the sliding plate for pressing. During the process, the pressure sensor and displacement sensor generate pressure and displacement curves to determine whether the pressing is in place. After the pressing is completed, the cylinder retracts, and the E-type retaining ring continues to fall onto the material distribution and pressing block, and this process is repeated.

[0039] This invention utilizes a snap ring vibratory plate and curved guide rods for material guiding and stacking, achieving a fully automatic snap ring feeding method. It uses the negative pressure suction principle of a vacuum generator to hold the snap ring, solving the problems of short magnetic life and high cost. Pressure and displacement sensors detect the press-fit snap rings, which can accurately confirm the press-fit and improve work efficiency.

[0041] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or vertical, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0043] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly.
