[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0015] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a vertical automatic nut feeding device, including an operating platform 1. Two hollow product rotating devices 2 are arranged on the top of the operating platform 1. The hollow product rotating devices 2 are mounted on the operating platform 1 via support bases 15. The arrangement of the hollow product rotating devices 2 enables the device to rotate the products that need to be vertically loaded and unloaded with nuts, thereby achieving vertical nut feeding. The two hollow product rotating devices 2 can feed nuts to two matching products or two products in the same manner, thereby improving the nut feeding efficiency of the device. The drive end of the hollow product rotating device 2 is provided with a feeding fixture 16. The surface of the feeding fixture 16 is provided with positioning posts 17 and fixing pins 18. The fixing pins 18 are used to fix the products placed on the feeding fixture 16 to prevent them from falling off during rotation. An X-axis drive device 4 is mounted on one side of the hollow rotating device 2 via a mounting column 3. The drive component of the X-axis drive device 4 is equipped with a Y-axis drive device 5. An auxiliary support mechanism 7 is slidably connected to the bottom of the Y-axis drive device 5 to ensure the stability of the Y-axis drive device 5 during translation. A support column 13 is mounted at the bottom of the auxiliary support mechanism 7. A Z-axis drive device 6 is mounted on the drive component of the Y-axis drive device 5. The combination of the X-axis drive device 4, Y-axis drive device 5, and Z-axis drive device 6 allows the device to move flexibly in the X, Z, and Y directions, precisely delivering the nut to the nut hole of the product, and adapting to different specifications. To accommodate different product specifications and nut positions, a home point sensor 12 is installed on one side of the Z-axis drive device 6 to improve the accuracy of the lifting drive. Two nut vibratory feeders 8 are installed on one side of each X-axis drive device 4, and nut silicone conduits 9 are installed on one side of each of the two nut vibratory feeders 8. A guide tube 10 is installed at one end of the nut silicone conduit 9. The nut is fed by vibrating the nut vibratory feeder 8, so that the nut enters the nut silicone conduit 9. The nut is affected by gravity in the nut silicone conduit 9 and slides to the docking point between the connecting tube 14 and the guide tube 10 to realize automatic nut feeding. The two nut vibratory feeders 8, together with the two nut drive devices 11, further improve the working efficiency of the equipment. The Z-axis drive unit 6 includes a nut drive unit 11, which comprises a nut up-and-down pushing cylinder 1101, an up-and-down driving block 1102, a nut pushing pin 1103, a nut forward-and-backward pushing cylinder 1104, and a nut adjusting component 1105. The up-and-down pushing cylinder 1101 has the up-and-down driving block 1102 at its driving end, and the nut pushing pin 1103 is located at the bottom of the up-and-down driving block 1102. The forward-and-backward pushing cylinder 1104 is located on one side of the guide tube 10, and the nut adjusting component 1105 is located at its driving end. The nut pushing pin 1103 is inserted into the inside of the guide tube 10. The connecting tube 14 is located at the junction of the nut silicone guide tube 9 and the guide tube 10 (i.e., the misalignment point between the connecting tube 14 at the tail end of the nut silicone guide tube 9 and the guide tube 10). A connecting tube 14 is also provided between the nut silicone guide tube 9 and the guide tube 10. The connecting tube 14 is slightly offset relative to the guide tube 10 to prevent the nut from falling directly and sliding out of the guide tube 10. The guide tube 10 is set on the driving component of the nut driving device 11. The nut forward and backward pushing cylinder 1104 drives the nut adjusting component 1105 to push the nut in the connecting tube 14 into the guide tube 10. Finally, the nut up and down pushing cylinder 1101 drives the up and down driving block 1102 to insert the nut pushing pin 1103 into the guide tube 10, pushing the nut inside into place.

[0016] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows: Add the nut to the nut vibratory plate 8, and place the product accurately on the feeding fixture 16 through the positioning column 17 by the feeding device. Then, the X-axis drive device 4, Y-axis drive device 5 and Z-axis drive device 6 work together to drive the guide tube 10 to the nut installation position of the product. Simultaneously, the nut vibratory plate 8 vibrates the nut feeding, causing the nut to enter the nut silicone conduit 9. The nut, under the influence of gravity, slides inside the nut silicone conduit 9 to the joint between the connecting tube 14 and the guide tube 10. Then, the nut forward and backward pushing cylinder 1104 drives the nut adjusting component 1105 to push the nut in the connecting tube 14 into the guide tube 10. Finally, the nut up and down pushing cylinder 1101 drives the up and down driving block 1102 to insert the nut pushing pin 1103 into the guide tube 10, pushing the internal nuts into the corresponding nut holes of the product in sequence. The last two products are hollowed out by rotating device 2, which drives two feeding jigs 16 to rotate to a vertical position, and the feeding device feeds them vertically.
