Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a snap-fit ​​assembly device with automatic material handling is provided. As the discharge box moves, the intermittent discharge pipe at its bottom gradually moves away from the original blocking plate, fully opening its passage. At this point, the workpieces temporarily stored inside the discharge box fall orderly into the working area of ​​the vibrating disc below under gravity. Subsequently, a specially designed conveying unit smoothly transports the fallen workpieces to the workstation directly below the assembly equipment, completing the subsequent assembly process. Throughout the process, the reciprocating motion of the discharge box ensures that the workpieces fall intermittently onto the vibrating disc at a set rhythm, effectively preventing excessive workpiece accumulation inside the vibrating disc from affecting assembly quality, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the snap-fit ​​assembly operation.

[0006] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a snap-fit ​​assembly device capable of automatically picking up materials, including an assembly table. The top of the assembly table is provided with an assembly device for assembling snap-fit ​​parts and a conveying unit for conveying snap-fit ​​parts.

[0007] Preferably, the discharge assembly includes support plates symmetrically arranged on the top of the assembly table, with mounting plates on the top of the two support plates, and symmetrical spring telescopic rods on opposite sides of the two support plates. A discharge box is provided between the telescopic ends of the two sets of spring telescopic rods, with a pushing block on the top of the discharge box and an intermittent discharge pipe at the bottom of the discharge box.

[0008] Preferably, a blocking plate for sealing the intermittent discharge pipe is also provided on one side of the two support plates facing each other.

[0009] Preferably, a drive motor is provided on the top of the mounting plate, the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the support plate and is provided with a rotating block, a contact rod is provided at the bottom of one end of the rotating block, and a contact groove is provided inside the push block for the contact rod to move.

[0010] Preferably, a ball bearing is provided at the top of one end of the rotating block, and an annular groove for the ball bearing to move is provided at the bottom of the support plate.

[0011] Preferably, the side wall of the discharge box is connected to a feed pipe for feeding.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are: As the discharge box moves, the intermittent discharge pipe at its bottom gradually moves away from the original blockage plate, fully opening its passage. At this point, the workpieces temporarily stored inside the discharge box fall orderly into the working area of ​​the vibrating disc below under gravity. Subsequently, a specially designed conveying unit smoothly transports the fallen workpieces to the workstation directly below the assembly equipment, completing the subsequent assembly process. Throughout the process, the reciprocating motion of the discharge box ensures that the workpieces fall intermittently onto the vibrating disc at a set rhythm, effectively preventing excessive workpiece accumulation inside the vibrating disc from affecting assembly quality, thus guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the fastener assembly operation.

[0020] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides: An automatic material handling assembly device for fasteners includes an assembly table 1, an assembly device 2 for assembling fasteners is provided on the top of the assembly table 1, a vibrating disc 3 for cooperating with the assembly device 2 and a conveying unit for conveying the fasteners are provided on the top of the assembly table 1, and a discharge component for intermittent material discharge is also movably provided on the top of the assembly table 1.

[0022] The workpieces to be assembled are fed into the discharge box 7 through the feed pipe 8, and then the discharge assembly orderly drops the workpieces into the working area of ​​the vibrating disc 3 below. Subsequently, a specially designed conveying unit smoothly transports the dropped workpieces to the workstation directly below the assembly equipment 2 to complete the subsequent assembly process, avoiding the problem of excessive workpiece accumulation inside the vibrating disc 3 affecting the assembly quality.

[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the discharge assembly includes support plates 4 symmetrically arranged on the top of the assembly table 1. The top of the two support plates 4 is provided with mounting plates 5. Symmetrical spring telescopic rods 9 are provided on opposite sides of the two support plates 4. A discharge box 7 is provided between the telescopic ends of the two sets of spring telescopic rods 9. A push block 14 is provided on the top of the discharge box 7. An intermittent discharge pipe 11 is provided at the bottom of the discharge box 7.

[0024] By employing two sets of symmetrically distributed spring telescopic rods 9 as support and buffer devices, the stability of the discharge box 7 during horizontal movement can be effectively improved. This design not only ensures a smoother and more controllable movement trajectory for the discharge box 7, but also generates a moderate shaking effect on the workpieces stored inside through the elasticity of the springs. This regular shaking action helps to disperse the accumulated workpieces, preventing them from being over-compacted under gravity, thereby effectively preventing blockage at the inlet of the intermittent discharge pipe 11. At the same time, the elastic characteristics of the spring telescopic rods 9 can also absorb the vibrations generated during equipment operation, further ensuring the smooth operation of the entire discharge process.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, a blocking plate 10 for sealing the intermittent discharge pipe 11 is also provided on one side of the two support plates 4 facing each other.

[0026] The blocking plate 10 is located directly below the two intermittent discharge pipes 11, which effectively blocks the flow of materials. Therefore, the workpieces temporarily stored inside the discharge box 7 can remain stable and will not fall.

[0027] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a drive motor 6 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 5. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 passes through the support plate 4 and is provided with a rotating block 12. A contact rod 13 is provided at the bottom of one end of the rotating block 12. A contact groove 15 is provided inside the pushing block 14 for the contact rod 13 to move.

[0028] The drive motor 6 is started, causing the rotating block 12 to rotate. As the rotating block 12 continues to rotate, the abutment rod 13 installed at its bottom also rotates synchronously. During this process, the push block 14 outside the abutment rod 13 begins to reciprocate under the action of the abutment groove 15. At the same time, the discharge box 7 also reciprocates synchronously following the movement trajectory of the push block 14.

[0029] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a ball bearing 16 is provided at the top of one end of the rotating block 12, and an annular groove 17 for the ball bearing 16 to move is provided at the bottom of the support plate 4.

[0030] The balls 16 roll smoothly along the inner wall of the annular groove 17, ensuring excellent stability during rotation and avoiding possible wobbling or deviation.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the discharge box 7 is connected to a feed pipe 8 for feeding.

[0032] The workpieces to be assembled can be placed into the discharge box 7 through the feed pipe 8, which facilitates the subsequent assembly work.

[0033] Detailed Explanation of Working Principle: When assembling the snap-fit ​​components, the workpiece to be assembled is fed into the discharge box 7 through the feed pipe 8. At this time, because the blocking plate 10 is located below the two intermittent discharge pipes 11, it effectively blocks the flow, ensuring the workpiece temporarily stored inside the discharge box 7 remains stable and does not fall. Then, the drive motor 6 is started to rotate the rotating block 12. As the rotating block 12 continues to rotate, the abutment rod 13 installed at its bottom also rotates synchronously. During this process, the push block 14 outside the abutment rod 13 begins to reciprocate under the action of the abutment groove 15. Simultaneously, the discharge box 7 also reciprocates synchronously following the movement trajectory of the push block 14. When the discharge box 7 shifts, the intermittent discharge pipes 11 at its bottom gradually move away from the original position of the blocking plate 10, completely opening the opening of the intermittent discharge pipes 11. At this time, the workpiece temporarily stored inside the discharge box 7 falls orderly into the working area of ​​the vibrating disc 3 below under the influence of gravity. Subsequently, a specially designed conveying unit smoothly transports the fallen workpiece to the workstation directly below assembly equipment 2 to complete the subsequent assembly process. Throughout the process, the reciprocating motion of the discharge box 7 ensures that the workpiece can fall intermittently onto the vibrating plate 3 according to the set rhythm, effectively avoiding the problem of excessive workpiece accumulation inside the vibrating plate 3 affecting the assembly quality, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the fastener assembly work.

[0034] The above embodiments merely illustrate one or several implementation methods of the snap-fit ​​assembly equipment capable of automatic material handling according to this utility model. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
