Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial automation technology, and specifically to a bolt feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial assembly fields (such as automotive parts assembly, appliance casing fixing, and mechanical equipment splicing), bolts, as core connecting components, have long relied on manual operation for material supply, making them an indispensable process in traditional production models. However, with the improvement of industrial automation and the acceleration of production line cycles, the drawbacks of manual material feeding have become increasingly prominent, becoming a key bottleneck restricting production efficiency, quality, and cost control. Specific problems are as follows: Manual loading requires workers to pick up bolts one by one from the bolt container (such as a material box or basket) and place them one by one at the assembly station (or the feed port of automated equipment). Only one bolt can be transferred at a time, and the operation requires frequent lifting of hands, bending over and alignment, resulting in low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a bolt feeding mechanism to solve the problems of the prior art.

[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a bolt feeding mechanism, comprising a feeding module and a feeding module; The feeding module includes a feeding bin and a feeding trough; The feeding module includes a support plate, a feeding chute disposed on the support plate, and an arrangement assembly, wherein at least three sets of the feeding chute are provided. The arrangement assembly includes a second support plate, a guide rail disposed on the second support plate and corresponding to each of the feeding chute, a feeding seat slidably disposed on the guide rail, and a driving component disposed at the lower end of the second support plate. The feeding seat has a through structure at both ends and is used to receive and transport bolts; A transition plate is provided between adjacent feeding chutes, and a limiting plate is provided at the side end of each set of feeding chutes; The working end of the drive component is connected to the feed seat and is used to drive the feed seat to slide along the guide rail.

[0005] In a further improvement, a vibration motor is provided on the support plate, and a support frame is provided on the working end of the vibration motor. The support frame is fixed to the lower end of the feeding chute.

[0007] As a further improvement, the second support plate is provided with an installation groove, and the guide rail is disposed in the installation groove.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and 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 utility model.

[0012] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0013] The following is a description of the embodiments and appendices. Figures 1-5 The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below.

[0014] Example 1 A bolt feeding mechanism includes a feeding module 1 and a feeding module 2; The feeding module 1 includes a feeding bin 11 and a feeding trough 12; The feeding module 2 includes a support plate 21, a feeding chute 22 disposed on the support plate 21, and an arrangement assembly 23. The feeding chute 22 is provided in at least three sets. The arrangement assembly 23 includes a second support plate 231, a guide rail 232 disposed on the second support plate 231 and corresponding one-to-one with the feeding chute 22, a feeding seat 233 slidably disposed on the guide rail 232, and a driving member 234 disposed at the lower end of the second support plate 231. The feeder 233 has a through structure at both ends and is used to receive and transport bolts; A transition plate 31 is provided between adjacent feeding chutes 22, and a limiting plate 32 is provided on the side end of each set of feeding chutes 22; The working end of the drive component 234 is connected to the feed seat 233 and is used to drive the feed seat 233 to slide along the guide rail 232.

[0015] like Figures 1-5 As shown in this embodiment, the feeding chute 22 and the arrangement assembly 23 are used in six groups as an example. In actual use, their principle is as follows: First, the feeding bin 11 arranges and lifts the bolts and transports them into the feeding trough 12. The end of the feeding trough 12 is located between the third and fourth sets of feeding slides 22. The end of the feeding trough 12 is located between the third and fourth sets of feeding slides 22. The bolts in the trough slide down the inclined trough under the action of gravity and enter the six sets of feeding seats 233 in the initial position (horizontally aligned with the end of the feeding trough) in sequence until each set of feeding seats 233 is loaded with one bolt. Then the feeding bin 11 automatically stops feeding. Secondly, the six sets of driving components 234 are started synchronously. The three sets of driving components at the upper end (corresponding to the first, second, and third sets of feeding seats) drive the feeding seat 233 to slide along the guide slide rail 232 to the left feeding slide 22, and the three sets of driving components at the lower end (corresponding to the fourth, fifth, and sixth sets of feeding seats) drive the feeding seat 233 to slide to the right feeding slide 22. During the sliding process, the transition plate 31 supports the bottom of the bolt to prevent it from falling off prematurely. When the feeding seat 233 slides to the inlet of the corresponding feeding slide 22, it is blocked and stopped by the side limit plate 32. At this time, the bolt in the feeding seat 233 slides into the feeding slide 22 through the transition plate 31 under the action of gravity and inertia, and slides down the slide to the assembly station of the next process, completing the synchronous automatic feeding of the six sets of bolts.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model, by configuring multiple sets of feeding chutes and corresponding arrangement components, combined with a bidirectional drive design, can simultaneously complete the synchronous transfer and feeding of multiple bolts. With the continuous feeding capacity of the feeding bin and feeding trough, it can realize the orderly output of bolts in batches, greatly shorten the feeding cycle per unit time, efficiently match the batch assembly requirements of automated production lines for bolts, avoid the production line takt time caused by insufficient feeding speed, and significantly improve the overall production continuity. 2. The feeding chute and arrangement components of this utility model adopt a modular layout, and the number of groups can be flexibly increased or decreased according to the actual needs of the production line without modifying the main structure of the mechanism; the size and specifications of the feeding seat can be adapted to different types of bolts, and the bidirectional drive layout can simultaneously meet the feeding needs of both sides of the production line.

[0017] As a further preferred embodiment, a vibration motor 41 is provided on the support plate 21, and a support frame 42 is provided on the working end of the vibration motor 41. The support frame 42 is fixed to the lower end of the feeding chute 22.

[0018] Specifically, the vibration motor 41 added to the support plate 21 transmits vibration to the lower end of the feeding chute 22 through the support frame 42, so as to avoid the bolts from sliding down the chute due to friction, posture deviation or slight jamming, which would cause blockage of a single chute and affect the overall feeding rhythm.

[0019] As a further preferred embodiment, the feeding chute 22 is inclined downward toward the side away from the feeding module 1 and has a positioning plate 221 at its bottom.

[0020] Specifically, the feeding chute 22 uses its tilting potential energy to accelerate the bolts' slide, avoiding jamming and improving feeding smoothness and efficiency; the positioning plate forms an end limit on the bolts, ensuring that the bolts stop in a uniform posture, reducing subsequent assembly adjustments and improving positioning accuracy.

[0021] As a further preferred embodiment, the second support plate 231 is provided with a mounting groove 2311, and the guide rail 232 is disposed in the mounting groove 2311.

[0022] Specifically, the mounting slot is embedded with a fixed slide rail to ensure precise positioning and parallelism of the slide rail, thus preventing the feed seat from sliding and getting stuck.

[0023] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
