Multiple card slots 412 and storage slots 413 are arranged in a ring around the storage seat body 408 and correspond one to one. The storage slot 413 is used to store the delivered spring, and the card slot 412 is used to cooperate with the collection and storage mechanism so that the collection and storage mechanism drives the storage seat body 408 to rotate.
[0036] The conveying control assembly includes a support column 204, a spiral conveying pipe 201, and a receiving hopper 202. The support column 204 is located on the side of the storage platform 1, the spiral conveying pipe 201 is located on the support column 204, and the receiving hopper 202 is located on the top of the spiral conveying pipe 201. A soft rubber curtain 203 is located at the bottom of the spiral conveying pipe 201. A photosensitive sensor is integrated inside the spiral conveying pipe 201. After the spring is cut, it falls into the receiving hopper 202. The receiving hopper 202 conveys the spring along the spiral conveying pipe 201. When the spring passes the photosensitive sensor, it will block the light beam. At this time, the sensor drives the second motor 401 to rotate once and counts once. Whenever the count reaches the set target, the first motor 301 is started. The soft rubber curtain 203 is used to decelerate the spring and prevent it from directly hitting the storage seat body 408 and causing damage.
[0037] The intermittent pushing mechanism includes a power component and a pushing component. The power component is located on the side of the storage platform 1 and provides power to the pushing component. The pushing component is located at the end of the power component and is used to intermittently push the storage seat body 408 to move. The power component includes a motor 301, a reducer 302, a rotating shaft 306, and a support frame 303.

The support plate 305 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 306, with its bottom connected to the top of the storage platform 1. The pushing rod 308 is rotatably mounted at the end of the rotating rod 307 away from the rotating shaft 306. The pushing rod 308 and the rotating rod 307 are connected by a rod.

A pushing head is provided at the end of the push rod 308 away from the rotating rod 307. The motor 301 drives the rotating shaft 306 to rotate after being reduced by the reducer 302. The rotating shaft 306 drives the rotating rod 307 to rotate. The rotating rod 307 drives the push rod 308 to move. When the push rod 308 moves forward, it cooperates with the locking block 309 to drive the locking block 309 to move. The locking block 309 drives the storage seat body 408 forward through the conveyor belt 304.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] like Figures 4-5 As shown, this utility model proposes a spring storage seat in a spring forming machine. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment details the structure of the collection and storage mechanism.
[0040] The collection and storage mechanism includes a fixed plate 410, a connecting ring 409, and a transmission assembly. The fixed plate 410 is located on the top of the conveyor belt 304, and the connecting ring 409 is located on the top of the fixed plate 410. The inner side of the connecting ring 409 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the storage seat body 408. When the conveyor belt moves, it drives the storage seat body 408 to move through the fixed plate 410. After the movement is completed, the slot 412 on the storage seat body 408 is connected to the locking rod 411. The transmission assembly is located on the inner side of the storage platform 1 and is used to drive the storage seat body 408 to rotate under the control of the photosensitive sensor. The transmission assembly includes a second motor 401, a second reducer 402, a second support frame 403, and a second rotating shaft 404. The second support frame 403 is located at the bottom of the storage platform 1, the second reducer 402 is located inside the second support frame 403, the second motor 401 is located at the bottom of the second reducer 402, the second rotating shaft 404 is located at the output end of the second reducer 402, a first synchronous pulley 405 is located at the top of the second rotating shaft 404, a synchronous belt 406 is located on the outer side of the first synchronous pulley 405, and a synchronous pulley is located at the end of the synchronous belt 406 away from the first synchronous pulley 405. The top of the second synchronous pulley 414 is provided with a connecting shaft 407, and the top of the connecting shaft 407 is provided with a locking rod 411. After the light beam of the photosensitive sensor is blocked once, the second motor 401 is started to rotate once. After the second motor 401 is reduced in speed by the second reducer 402, it drives the second rotating shaft 404 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 404 drives the first synchronous pulley 405 to rotate. The first synchronous pulley 405 drives the second synchronous pulley 414 to rotate through the synchronous belt 406. The second synchronous pulley 414 drives the storage base body 408 to rotate through the connecting shaft 407 and the locking rod 411.
[0041] In summary, when this utility model is used, the cut spring is launched into the receiving hopper 202 under the action of centrifugal force. The receiving hopper 202 transports the spring along the spiral conveying pipe 201. When the spring passes the photosensitive sensor, it blocks the light beam. At this time, the sensor drives the second motor 401 to rotate once and counts once. Whenever the count reaches the set target, the first motor 301 is started. After the spring moves to the bottom of the spiral conveying pipe 201, it passes through the soft rubber curtain 203, thereby decelerating and slowly falling into the storage tank 413. After the second motor 401 starts, it is decelerated by the second reducer 402, thereby driving the second rotating shaft 404 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 404 drives the first synchronous pulley 405 to rotate. The first synchronous pulley 405 drives the second synchronous pulley 414 to rotate through the synchronous belt 406. The second synchronous pulley 414 is connected to the connecting shaft 406. 07 and the locking rod 411 drive the storage seat body 408 to rotate, thereby rotating the next storage slot 413 directly below the spiral conveyor tube 201. When the storage seat body 408 is full, the motor 301 starts under the control of the photosensitive sensor. After the motor 301 is reduced in speed by the reducer 302, it drives the rotating shaft 306 to rotate. The rotating shaft 306 drives the rotating rod 307 to rotate. The rotating rod 307 drives the push rod 308 to move. When the push rod 308 moves forward, it cooperates with the locking block 309 to drive the locking block 309 to move. The locking block 309 drives the storage seat body 408 forward through the conveyor belt 304. When the push rod 308 returns, it disengages from the locking block 309. At this time, it will not drive the locking block 309 to move. The full storage seat body 408 can be directly removed from the connecting ring 409 and packaged.
[0042] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
