[0002] In the field of nut manufacturing, with the continuous improvement of production automation, the performance requirements for nut feeding devices are becoming increasingly stringent. As a part with two sides, maintaining a uniform posture during the feeding process is a crucial prerequisite for ensuring the accuracy and quality of subsequent processing. However, current nut feeding devices on the market generally suffer from the technical challenge of failing to feed nuts in the same posture.

[0003] Existing feeding equipment often lacks an effective mechanism for identifying and adjusting the orientation of nuts, resulting in nuts entering the processing stage with varying postures. This not only leads to frequent clamping failures and processing errors due to incorrect nut posture, severely affecting processing accuracy, but also increases equipment failure rate and downtime, reducing overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a nut processing and feeding device, which aims to solve the problem that the existing nut processing and feeding devices cannot feed nuts in the same posture.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model patent clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0018] To illustrate the technical solution described in this utility model, specific embodiments are described below.

[0019] For ease of explanation, only the parts relevant to the embodiments of this utility model are shown.

[0020] Combination Figure 1-4As shown, the nut processing and feeding device includes a platform 1, a conveyor 2 on the platform 1, a support platform 3 at the front end of the conveyor 2 on the platform 1, a support seat 4 on the support platform 3, the support seat 4 being directly above the conveyor 2, an opening 5 below the support seat 4, and a fixed platform 6 above it. A break 7 is formed on the top surface of the fixed platform 6, the width of which is slightly larger than the diameter of the nut. An arc-shaped guide rail 8 is provided on the front side of the fixed platform 6 corresponding to the break, the outlet of which communicates with the opening 5. A vibrating feeder 9 is provided on the fixed platform 6, the outlet of which is aligned with the right side of the break 7. A slide rail 10 is provided on the side wall of the fixed platform 6, the inlet of which communicates with the left side of the break 7. A detection component is provided on the platform 1 directly opposite the break, and a pushing component is provided on the fixed platform 6 directly opposite the inlet of the arc-shaped guide rail 8.

[0021] In the field of nut processing and manufacturing, with the continuous improvement of production automation, the performance requirements for nut feeding devices are becoming increasingly stringent. As a part with two sides, the nut can be fed in a uniform manner using this device.

[0022] In the above structure, the support base and the fixed platform are both located at the front end of the conveyor platform, and there are gaps between the support base and the fixed platform and the conveyor platform.

[0023] When using this device to feed nuts in batches to the processing station, a certain number of nuts are first placed into the vibrating feeding table. The vibrating feeding table causes the nuts to move one by one in an orderly manner towards the break point of the fixed table. Since nuts have two sides, the nuts sent into the break point have an inconsistent posture.

[0024] When the nut moves to the break detection station, the detection component identifies the nut's orientation, determining whether it is facing forward or backward. If the nut is detected as facing forward, the pusher component remains inactive, and the nut continues to move to the left and slides onto the conveyor platform via the guide rail. If the nut is detected as backward, the pusher component pushes the nut towards the curved guide rail. Within the curved guide rail, the nut changes orientation via a specific track shape, eventually sliding onto the conveyor platform and exiting through the opening below the support base.

[0025] Through the above process, all the nuts that eventually fall onto the conveyor platform move backward in the same posture (e.g., the front of the nut is facing up), thus achieving uniformity in the posture of the nuts.

[0026] As a preferred structure, such as Figure 2-3The bottom surface of the arc-shaped guide rail 8 has a notch, the support base 4 is provided with a blocking cylinder 11 facing upwards, the drive shaft of the blocking cylinder 11 is provided with a stop bar 12, the stop bar 12 is located in the notch, the top surface of the fixed platform 6 has a slot, the slot is set directly opposite the entrance of the arc-shaped guide rail, the pushing assembly includes a pushing block 14 located in the slot, the side wall of the fixed platform 6 is provided with a pushing cylinder 15, and the drive shaft of the pushing cylinder 15 is connected to the pushing block 14.

[0027] When the nut moves to the break detection station, the stop bar blocks the entrance of the arc-shaped guide rail. This prevents the nut from entering the arc-shaped guide rail when it is detected as facing forward. When the nut is detected as facing backward, the blocking cylinder drives the stop bar to descend, opening the entrance of the arc-shaped guide rail. The pushing cylinder then drives the pushing block to push the nut into the arc-shaped guide rail. The nut changes direction by passing through the specific shape of the arc-shaped guide rail and finally slides onto the conveyor table.

[0028] In this structure, such as Figure 1 The feeding assembly includes a stand 16, on which a detection seat 17 is provided. A detection element 18 is positioned downwards on the detection seat 17, directly opposite the break point. In this embodiment, the detection element can be a vision sensor used to detect the orientation of the nut.

[0029] like Figure 1 The lower part of the fixed platform 6 has a cross-section 19 on its right side, which divides the front end of the conveyor table into left and right channels. The frame of the conveyor table 2 is equipped with a pair of guide plates 20, which are wider at the front and narrower at the back. This divides the front end of the conveyor table into two independent channels of equal width. The left channel connects to the slide rail outlet, and the right channel connects to the arc-shaped guide rail outlet. The nuts following the two different paths do not interfere with each other during transport, and ultimately, under the constraint of the guide plates, they converge into a single stream with a unified posture, which is then conveyed backward to the processing station.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
