Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal parts sorting technology, specifically a T-shaped metal parts sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of metal processing and manufacturing, T-shaped metal parts are widely used in mechanical connections, accessories, and electronic equipment support due to their structural stability. Because the integrated "head-rod" structure of T-shaped metal parts requires high dimensional accuracy, issues such as deviations in rod diameter directly affect the compatibility of subsequent assembly and the overall performance of the product. Therefore, strict sorting operations are necessary during the production process to ensure that products flowing into downstream stages meet specifications and standards.

[0003] Currently, most equipment used for sorting T-shaped metal parts adopts a "conveyor track + fixed detection head" structural design. During actual operation, when the T-shaped metal parts move within the conveyor track, factors such as friction against the inner wall of the track and the workpiece's own center of gravity shift can easily lead to abnormal postures, such as head tilting and rod misalignment. This results in the workpiece not being accurately aligned with the detection head, leading to deviations in the detection data. Furthermore, the detection components of existing equipment are mostly fixed installation structures, and the height and spacing of the detection heads cannot be flexibly adjusted. When sorting T-shaped metal parts of different specifications, the entire detection module must be disassembled and replaced, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, making it difficult to adapt to diverse production needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a T-shaped metal parts sorting device, which aims to solve the problems of low sorting effect and poor applicability of existing T-shaped metal parts sorting devices.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment of a T-shaped metal parts sorting device includes a machine base 1. A retaining ring 2 is provided on the machine base 1, and a pair of discharge ports are opened at the end of the retaining ring 2, with the front discharge port marked 3.1 and the rear discharge port marked 3.2. A feeding rack 4 is provided on the machine base 1 directly opposite each discharge port. A rotatable rotating disk 5 is provided on the machine base 1 inside the retaining ring 2. A limiting notch 6 is spaced apart along the edge of the rotating disk 5, and the limiting notch is used to accommodate and position the T-shaped metal parts. The machine base 1 is provided with a feeding component 7, a detection component 8, and a rejection component 9, which are arranged clockwise opposite to the rotating disk 5. The rejection component 9 is positioned directly opposite the front discharge port. The detection component 8 includes a stand 10. The front of the stand 10 is provided with a connecting seat 11 and a detection slide 12, which are located above and below the rotating disk 5, respectively. The connecting seat 11 is provided with a movable rod 13 that slides downward. The upper limit of the movable rod 13 is installed on the top surface of the connecting seat 11. A pressure head 14 is provided below the movable rod 13. A spring 15 is provided on the movable rod 13 between the pressure head 14 and the connecting seat 11. A detection sleeve 16 is fixedly installed inside the detection slide 12. The machine base 1 is provided with a driving moving component for driving the detection slide 12 to move up and down.

[0020] The feeding assembly transports the T-shaped metal parts to be inspected into the limiting notches of the rotating disk in an orderly manner. The inspection assembly inspects the T-shaped metal parts on the rotating disk to determine whether they are qualified. The rejection assembly removes the unqualified products from the rotating disk and discharges them through the front discharge port. Qualified products continue to rotate with the rotating disk and are discharged through the rear discharge port, thus completing the sorting of the T-shaped metal parts.

[0021] As a preferred structure, combined with Figure 1-3 The feeding assembly 7 includes a vibrator 18, which has two pairs of mounting plates 19. A pair of guide plates 20 are located on the inner side of each pair of mounting plates 19. The two pairs of mounting plates 19 are positioned above the guide plates 20, with a limiting plate 21 in the middle. The two guide plates and the limiting plate form a feeding channel. When the vibrator 18 is working, the directional sorting function of the vibrating plate feeds the T-shaped metal parts into the feeding channel with the head facing upwards and the rod facing downwards. The guide plates guide the sides of the metal parts, and the limiting plate limits the top of the metal parts to prevent them from flipping or shifting during transport. Ultimately, the metal parts accurately fall into the limiting notch 6 of the rotating disk 5.

[0022] In this device, combined Figure 2-3 The driving moving assembly includes a divider 22 mounted on the machine base 1. The input shaft of the divider 22 is provided with a driven wheel 23. One of the output shafts of the divider 22 is used to drive the rotating disk 5 to rotate. The other output shaft of the divider 22 is provided with a rotating disk 24. A push-pull rod 25 is rotatably provided at the edge of the rotating disk 24. The end of the push-pull rod 25 is rotatably connected to the detection slide 12. The machine base 1 is provided with a drive motor 26. The drive shaft of the drive motor 26 is provided with a driving wheel 27. A belt 28 is sleeved between the driving wheel 27 and the driven wheel 23.

[0023] After the drive motor 26 starts, it drives the driven wheel 23 to rotate via the belt 28. The driven wheel 23 drives the divider 22 to work. One output shaft of the divider 22 drives the rotating disk 5 to rotate intermittently, and the other output shaft drives the rotating disk 24 to rotate. When the rotating disk 24 rotates, it pulls the detection slide 12 up and down via the push-pull rod 25. The detection sleeve also moves up and down to detect the T-shaped part located at the detection component position.

[0024] In this device, such as Figure 1-3 The rejection assembly 9 includes a fixed plate 29, on which a rejection cylinder 30 is mounted. The drive shaft of the rejection cylinder 30 has a rejection seat 31. When the detection assembly 8 detects a defective T-shaped metal part, the control system controls the rejection cylinder 30 to operate. The rejection cylinder 30 drives the rejection seat 31 to push the defective part out of the limiting notch 6, and the defective part is discharged from the front discharge port 3.1 onto the corresponding unloading rack 4. Since the control system is not the focus of this device, it will not be emphasized here.

[0025] Additionally, a discharge baffle 32 is provided on the retaining ring 2, directly opposite the rear discharge port 3.2. When the rotating disk 5 drives a qualified T-shaped metal part to the rear discharge port position, the discharge baffle guides the qualified product smoothly through the rear discharge port and prevents the product from getting stuck at the discharge port, thus achieving automatic collection of qualified parts. Figure 4 The top of the detection sleeve 16 is flared, which facilitates the lower end of the T-shaped metal part to enter the detection sleeve 16 for detection, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the detection.

[0026] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: The drive motor and vibrator are started. The vibrator vibrates and conveys the T-shaped metal part. After being guided and limited by the guide plate and the limiting plate, the metal part enters the limiting notch of the rotating disk. Then, the divider drives the rotating disk to rotate intermittently. When the metal part rotates to the position of the detection component, the divider drives the rotating disk to rotate, and the push-pull rod drives the detection slide to move upward. The detection sleeve is placed on the lower end of the T-shaped metal part, and at the same time, the pressure head, under the action of the spring, positions the metal part, and the size of the metal part is detected.

[0027] When the metal part is qualified, the actual diameter of its rod is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the detection sleeve, allowing the workpiece rod to be smoothly and unobstructedly inserted into the detection sleeve to complete the detection action. Subsequently, the drive moving assembly moves the detection slide down to reset, and the rotary table rotates the detected qualified workpiece to the next station. When the qualified workpiece rotates to the rear discharge port position, the unloading plate 32 pushes the qualified workpiece out to the unloading rack at the same position and into the qualified product collection box.

[0028] When a metal part is defective, its rod diameter is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the detection sleeve. During the upward movement of the detection slide, the workpiece rod cannot smoothly insert into the inner hole of the detection sleeve, causing the workpiece to be lifted and compressing the spring. This abnormal signal is received by the control system. When the workpiece moves to the rejection station, the control system triggers the rejection cylinder, and the rejection seat pushes it into the front discharge port, through the unloading rack, into the defective product collection box, thus completing the sorting of the T-shaped metal parts.

[0029] The entire workflow is now complete, and anything not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
