Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mechanical feeding equipment technology, and in particular to a device that can discharge materials according to the assembly sequence. Background Technology
[0002] In modern manufacturing, assembly is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and performance. With the continuous development of industrial technology, product structures are becoming increasingly complex, often requiring the sequential assembly of multiple similar sub-parts. While these sub-parts may seem insignificant, their correct assembly plays a vital role in the safety, stability, and performance of the entire product. For example, common small parts such as ring washers and nuts are widely used in various mechanical equipment, electronic devices, and building structures.
[0003] Currently, many manufacturing processes still rely heavily on manual labor for assembling sub-parts. Workers use their experience and visual judgment to select the correct parts from numerous similar sub-parts and assemble them in a specific order. While this method can accomplish assembly tasks to some extent, it has significant limitations. Due to the large number and variety of sub-parts, workers are prone to fatigue during long hours, leading to errors in visual judgment. Moreover, manual operation is relatively inefficient and cannot meet the demands of large-scale production.
[0004] To improve assembly accuracy and efficiency, some companies have adopted simple auxiliary tools, such as parts boxes and labels. By placing different types of sub-parts in separate parts boxes and clearly labeling them, workers can identify the parts more accurately. However, this method still relies on the worker's subjective judgment and cannot fundamentally prevent assembly errors. Moreover, as the types and quantities of sub-parts increase, these simple auxiliary tools may not meet actual needs.
[0005] Assembly errors can severely impact product performance and safety. For example, incorrect installation of annular gaskets can reduce the sealing performance of equipment, leading to leaks; insufficient tightening torque or incorrect installation of nuts can cause parts to loosen, increasing equipment vibration and noise, and even causing safety accidents. These problems not only affect the normal use of products but also damage a company's reputation and market competitiveness. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a device that can discharge parts in the order of assembly. It is equipped with a discharge component, in which the inlet hole and the push chute are connected and correspond one-to-one, creating a stable channel for the smooth discharge of parts. The height design of the push chute ensures that only one part is pushed out at a time, guaranteeing the orderliness and accuracy of the discharge. This allows the device to pre-set the number of parts required each time, and each push can push out all the parts required for this assembly, avoiding part matching errors and improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0008] A device for discharging materials according to the assembly sequence includes a discharging component, a discharging port component, and a discharging port upper seat and a discharging port lower seat. The discharging port lower seat is provided with a plurality of push grooves, and the discharging port upper seat is provided with a plurality of inlet holes.
[0009] The feed hole and the push chute are connected and correspond one-to-one;
[0010] The upper part of the discharge port is connected to the material cylinder component. The parts that need to be discharged are stacked inside the material cylinder component. Due to gravity, the parts at the bottom will automatically fall into the push chute through the inlet hole.
[0011] The height inside the push chute is higher than the height of one part and lower than the height of two parts.
[0012] On the other side of the discharge port component, a pushing power component is provided. The pushing power component is connected to a pushing shovel. When the pushing shovel is inserted into the pushing groove, it will push the part from the pushing groove to the side away from the pushing shovel.
[0013] Furthermore, the discharge port component is disposed on the discharge plate, and a material trough is provided on one side of the discharge plate. The parts pushed out from the push chute finally fall into the material trough, and an infrared sensor is provided on the inner side of the material trough.
[0014] Furthermore, the material cylinder component includes a material cylinder connecting seat, into which a material storage cylinder is inserted, and a bolt is provided on the side of the material cylinder connecting seat, which can be screwed into the interior of the material cylinder connecting seat from the side.
[0015] Furthermore, the storage cylinder is made of transparent plexiglass or transparent acrylic material.
[0016] Furthermore, a plug is connected to the end of the storage cylinder away from the cylinder connecting seat.
[0017] Furthermore, the center of the plug is fixedly connected to a limiting column. During installation, the limiting column is inserted into the storage cylinder and positioned at the center of the storage cylinder. The length of the limiting column allows it to extend only to the vicinity of the inlet hole.
[0018] Furthermore, the pusher shovel is configured with several insert rods, which can be inserted into several pusher slots simultaneously.
[0019] Furthermore, the discharge assembly is mounted on the frame, and casters are connected to the lower end of the frame.
[0020] Furthermore, the frame is also equipped with a control touch screen, which is electrically connected to the discharge assembly.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0022] 1. The device is equipped with a discharge component. The inlet hole of the discharge component and the push chute are connected and correspond one-to-one, which creates a stable channel for the smooth discharge of parts. The height design of the push chute ensures that only one part is pushed out at a time, which guarantees the orderliness and accuracy of the discharge. This allows the device to pre-set the number of parts required each time, and each push can push out all the parts required for this assembly, avoiding part matching errors and improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.
[0023] 2. The infrared sensor inside the material trough can intelligently control the feeding, ensuring that the parts in the trough each time are all the parts required for an installation batch, without exceeding the limit, making the safe ratio of parts more accurate, and ensuring the stability and consistency of the equipment's production quality.
[0024] 3. The storage cylinder is made of transparent material, allowing the storage status to be visually observed. The quantity can be expanded or reduced according to the number of sub-parts required by the product series, making it flexible to meet the assembly needs of sub-parts of different finished products.

[0030] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the utility model.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a device for discharging materials according to assembly sequence includes a discharging component 1. The discharging component 1 is provided with a discharging port component, which includes an upper discharging port seat 103 and a lower discharging port seat 102. The lower discharging port seat 102 is provided with a plurality of pushing grooves 1021, and the upper discharging port seat 103 is provided with a plurality of inlet holes 1031. The inlet holes 1031 and the pushing grooves 1021 are connected and correspond one-to-one, thus creating a stable channel for the smooth discharging of parts.
[0032] The upper part of the discharge port 103 is connected to the material cylinder component 104. The parts to be discharged are stacked inside the material cylinder component 104. Due to gravity, the bottom part will automatically fall into the push chute 1021 through the inlet hole 1031. The height inside the push chute 1021 is higher than the height of one part and lower than the height of two parts. This ingenious design ensures that only one part can be pushed out at a time, which fundamentally guarantees the orderliness and accuracy of the discharge.
[0033] On the other side of the discharge port component, a pushing power component 105 is provided. In this embodiment, the pushing power component 105 is an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder. The pushing power component 105 is connected to a pushing shovel 1051. When the pushing shovel 1051 is inserted into the pushing groove 1021, it will push the parts out of the pushing groove 1021 to the side away from the pushing shovel 1051. Several material cylinder components 104 can hold different parts respectively. Before use, the operator can set the number of corresponding parts needed each time. In this way, each time the pushing power component 105 pushes once, it pushes out all the parts needed for this assembly, effectively avoiding the problem of incorrect part allocation and greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.
[0034] The discharge port component is set on the discharge base plate 101. A material trough 1011 is set on one side of the discharge base plate 101. The parts pushed out from the push chute 1021 finally fall into the material trough 1011. An infrared sensor is set on the inner side of the material trough 1011. The infrared sensor can automatically identify whether the employee takes materials from the material trough 1011. Only after the employee's material taking action is sensed can the next feeding instruction be activated. This intelligent control method ensures that the parts in the material trough 1011 each time are all the parts used in an installation batch, and there will be no situation where the number of parts exceeds the standard. This makes the safe ratio of parts more accurate and effectively ensures the stability of equipment production quality and the uniformity of various equipment.
[0035] The material cylinder component 104 includes a material cylinder connector 1041, to which a material storage cylinder 1042 is inserted. A bolt is provided on the side of the material cylinder connector 1041, and the bolt can be screwed into the material cylinder connector 1041 from the side. The material storage cylinder 1042 is made of transparent plexiglass or transparent acrylic material, and the storage status can be visually observed. The number of cylinders can be expanded or reduced according to the number of sub-parts required by the product series, and can be flexibly adapted to the assembly needs of sub-parts of different finished products.
[0036] The end of the storage cylinder 1042 away from the cylinder connecting seat 1041 is connected to the plug 1043. A limiting column is fixedly connected to the center of the plug 1043. During installation, the limiting column is inserted into the storage cylinder 1042 and positioned at the center of the storage cylinder 1042. The length of the limiting column extends only to the point near the inlet hole 1031. When loading, the storage cylinder 1042 is removed, with the end of the storage cylinder 1042 away from the plug 1043 facing upwards. The part is then inserted, and the bolt on the cylinder connecting seat 1041 is screwed in. The bolt can prevent the part from falling. The storage cylinder 1042 is then inverted so that the cylinder connecting seat 1041 is inserted into the inlet hole 1031. The bolt is loosened, and the part slides down to the push chute 1021 under gravity. When the storage cylinder 1042 contains parts with a central hole, such as an annular gasket, the limiting column can limit the part, ensuring that the part maintains the correct posture and position during the descent.
[0037] The push shovel 1051 is configured with several insert rods, which can be inserted into several push grooves 1021 at the same time. This configuration allows the push shovel 1051 to push out parts in several push grooves 1021 at the same time, thereby reducing the use of the push power component 105 and saving production costs for the equipment.
[0038] The discharge assembly 1 is mounted on the frame 2. The lower end of the frame 2 is connected to casters, which allow the device to be quickly moved to a suitable position, reducing the operator's range of motion and improving work efficiency.
[0039] The discharge assembly 1 is also equipped with a protective cover 106. The protective cover 106 is used to push the power component 105 and prevent people from touching the protective cover 106 and causing safety accidents. At the same time, the protective cover 106 is made of transparent organic glass, so the operating status of the entire mechanism can be observed visually.
[0040] The frame 2 is also equipped with a control touch screen 3, which is electrically connected to the discharge component 1. When a new model needs to be assembled, the control touch screen 3 is used to match the parts with the equipment being assembled, based on the assembly sequence of each part, thus ensuring the correctness of the equipment assembly.
[0041] The device operates as follows: First, the parts to be discharged are stacked in the storage cylinder 1042. Due to gravity, the bottom part automatically falls into the push chute 1021 through the inlet hole 1031. After the operator sets the discharge sequence via the control touchscreen 3, the push power unit 105 is activated. The push power unit 105 drives the push shovel 1051 to insert into the push chute 1021, pushing the parts from the push chute 1021 to the side away from the push shovel 1051. The parts fall into the material trough 1011. When a person takes a part, the infrared sensor detects that the person has taken the part and sends a signal to the control touchscreen 3. After receiving the signal, the control touchscreen 3 will continue to perform the next discharge operation. This cycle repeats, achieving discharge according to the assembly sequence and providing strong support for the efficient production of the equipment.
[0042] The device is equipped with a discharge component 1, whose inlet hole 1031 and push chute 1021 are connected and correspond one-to-one, creating a stable channel for the smooth discharge of parts. The height design of the push chute 1021 ensures that only one part is pushed out at a time, guaranteeing the orderliness and accuracy of the discharge. This allows the device to pre-set the number of parts required each time, and each push can push out all the parts required for this assembly, avoiding part matching errors and improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.
[0043] The infrared sensor inside the material trough 1011 can intelligently control the feeding, ensuring that the parts in the trough each time are all the parts required for an installation batch, without exceeding the limit, making the safe ratio of parts more accurate, and ensuring the stability and uniformity of equipment production quality.
[0044] The storage cylinder 1042 is made of transparent material, allowing the storage status to be visually observed. The quantity can be expanded or reduced according to the number of sub-parts required by the product series, making it flexible to meet the assembly needs of sub-parts of different finished products.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included within the protection scope of the utility model.
