Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical automation technology, and specifically to an automatic nut feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial assembly fields (such as automotive parts assembly, appliance casing fixing, and mechanical equipment splicing), nuts, as core connecting components, have long relied on manual operation for material feeding, making it 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 nuts one by one from the nut container (such as a nut box or basket) and place them one by one at the assembly station (or the feed port of automated equipment). Each loading can only transfer one nut at a time, and the operation requires frequent lifting of hands, bending over and alignment, resulting in low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

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.

[0014] 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.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Example 1 An automatic nut feeding device includes a feeding mechanism 1 and a feeding mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding bin 11 and a feeding trough 12. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a frame 21, a feeding slide 22 disposed on the frame 21, and an arrangement module 23. The feeding slide 22 is provided in multiple sets. The arrangement module 23 includes a mounting plate 231, a guide seat 232 disposed on the mounting plate 231 and corresponding to each feeding slide 22, a slide rail 233 slidably disposed in the guide seat 232, a feeding seat 234 disposed at one end of the slide rail 233, and a driving member 235 disposed at the lower end of the mounting plate 231. The working end of the driving member 235 is connected to the end of the slide rail 233 away from the feeding seat 234, and is used to drive the slide rail 233 to slide on the guide seat 232.

[0017] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding chute 22 and the arrangement module 23 are used in six groups as an example. In actual use, their principle is as follows: First, the feeding bin 11 oriented the bulk nuts and lifts them onto a spiral lifting track, conveying them into the feeding trough 12. The feeding trough 12 is inclined, with its end located between the third and fourth sets of feeding chutes 22. Under the influence of gravity, the nuts slide down the inclined trough and sequentially enter the six sets of feeding seats 234, which are initially positioned. When each feeding seat 234 is loaded with one nut, the feeding bin 11 detects a full-load signal via a sensor and automatically stops feeding. Secondly, the six sets of drive components 235 start synchronously. The three sets of drive components on the left drive the slide rail 233 to slide along the guide seat 232 to the right feeding chute 22, and the three sets of drive components on the right drive the slide rail 233 to slide to the left feeding chute 22. During the sliding process, the guide seat 232 limits the slide rail 233 to prevent the feed seat 234 from deviating. When the feed seat 234 slides to the feed inlet of the corresponding feeding chute 22, it is blocked and stopped by the limiting block on the side of the chute. At this time, the nut in the feed seat 234 slides into the feeding chute 22 under the action of gravity and inertia, and slides down the chute to the assembly station of the next process, completing the synchronous automatic feeding of the six sets of nuts.

[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model, by configuring multiple sets of feeding chutes and corresponding arrangement modules, combined with a bidirectional drive design, can simultaneously complete the synchronous transfer and feeding of multiple nuts. With the directional arrangement of the feeding bin and the continuous conveying capacity of the feeding chute, it can realize the orderly output of nuts in batches, greatly shorten the feeding cycle per unit time, efficiently match the batch assembly requirements of automated production lines for nuts, avoid the production line takt time caused by insufficient feeding speed, and significantly improve the overall production continuity. 2. The feeding chute and arrangement module 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 device; the bidirectional drive layout can simultaneously meet the feeding needs of both sides of the production line, improving the device's adaptability to different scenarios.

[0019] As a further preferred embodiment, the driving component 235 includes a driving cylinder 2351 disposed at the lower end of the mounting plate 231 and an L-shaped connecting plate 2352 fixedly disposed at the end of the piston rod of the driving cylinder 2351, the other end of the L-shaped connecting plate 2352 being connected to the side end of the slide rail 233.

[0020] Specifically, the L-shaped connecting plate 2352 is connected to the slide rail 233 through the side end, which increases the contact area with the slide rail. The L-shaped structure can disperse the driving force, avoid loosening of the connection caused by long-term stress, ensure the straightness of the slide rail 233 when sliding along the guide seat 232, and reduce the offset of the feed seat 234 caused by the drive bias.

[0021] As a further preferred embodiment, it also includes a lifting mechanism 3, which includes a lifting cylinder 31 disposed at one end of the feeding chute 22 away from the feeding mechanism 1 and a lifting frame 32 disposed at the end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 31. The lifting frame 32 is provided with lifting grooves 321, and multiple sets of lifting grooves 321 are provided and are corresponding to the feeding chute 22.

[0022] Specifically, the lifting mechanism drives the lifting frame 32 to rise and fall through the lifting cylinder 31. According to the height requirements of the subsequent assembly station, each set of nuts can be delivered to the designated height station without the need for an additional transfer mechanism, simplifying the material supply process. The number of lifting grooves 321 and the feeding slides 22 are the same and they move synchronously. When the nuts slide from each feeding slide 22 into the corresponding lifting groove 321, the lifting cylinder 31 can drive the lifting frame 32 to rise and fall synchronously as a whole, avoiding material supply misalignment caused by the lag of a single lifting set.

[0023] As a further preferred embodiment, guide rods 322 are slidably provided at both ends of the lifting frame 32.

[0024] Specifically, the guide rod 322 restricts the left and right deviation and front and back tilt of the lifting frame 32 during the lifting process.

[0025] As a further preferred embodiment, a vibration motor 41 is provided between the mounting plate 231 and the feeding chute 22.

[0026] As a further preferred embodiment, a vibration motor 42 is provided at the lower end of the feeding trough 12.

[0027] Specifically, vibration is achieved through vibration motor 41 and vibration motor 42 to prevent the nut from getting stuck.

[0028] 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.
