Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material distribution tooling technology, and in particular to a material distribution mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During connector manufacturing, a material-splitting mechanism is used to separate the materials for use in the next process. In related technologies, this mechanism requires controlling the movement of a stop and a clamping component to perform the material-splitting operation. However, material-splitting mechanisms typically use two separate drive units to operate the stop and clamping components, resulting in higher manufacturing and operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a material distribution mechanism that enables a single drive component to control the actions of the pressing component and the blocking component, thereby reducing the manufacturing and usage costs of the material distribution mechanism and at least partially solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a material dispensing mechanism, comprising:

[0005] A material conveying component, having a material channel for containing materials;

[0006] The material distribution assembly includes a material blocking member and a material pressing member. The material distribution assembly has a first state in which at least a portion of the material blocking member protrudes into the material channel and the material pressing member disengages from the material.

[0007] A drive component, including a drive element and a drive block connected to the drive element;

[0008] In the first state, the drive block is connected to one of the stop and the pressure member, and the drive block abuts against the other of the stop and the pressure member.

[0009] In the material distribution mechanism of this application embodiment, in the first state, the driving block is connected to one of the pressing component and the blocking component, and the driving block abuts against the other of the pressing component and the blocking component. This enables a single driving component to control the pressing component and the blocking component to perform actions, thereby reducing the manufacturing and use costs of the material distribution mechanism.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0026] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0027] In the various figures of this application, for ease of illustration, certain dimensions of structures or parts may be exaggerated relative to other structures or parts; therefore, they are only used to illustrate the basic structure of the subject matter of this application.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a material distribution mechanism, including a material conveying component 1, a material distribution assembly 2, and a drive assembly 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism can be used to feed cylindrical material 4, which can be a component of a connector. The connector can be a coaxial connector used to connect coaxial cables to electrical equipment, such as the Mini-type FAKRA (Fachkreis Automobil) connector used in the automotive electronics industry.

[0030] In this embodiment, the conveying component 1 is used to convey the material 4 from the previous step (e.g., a vibratory feeder) to the next step (e.g., material picking). The dispensing component 2 dispenses the sequentially arranged materials 4 so that only one material 4 can be output at a time. The driving component 3 provides driving force to the dispensing component 2.

[0031] In some embodiments, in conjunction with reference Figure 2 As shown, the conveying component 1 has a material channel 11 for accommodating the material 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the material channel 11 is not less than the outer diameter of the material 4, so that the material 4 can be smoothly conveyed in the material channel 11.

[0033] For example, during the conveying of material 4 along the feed channel 11, the axial direction of material 4 is consistent with the conveying direction of feed channel 11 (e.g., from material inlet 112 towards material outlet 111). The inner diameter of feed channel 11 is larger than the outer diameter of material 4, and the radial direction of feed channel 11 can only allow a single piece of material 4 to pass through.

[0034] In some embodiments, the material distribution component 2 includes a material stopper 21 and a material presser 22.

[0035] In this embodiment, the stop member 21 cooperates with the conveyor member 1, for example, in a movable fit. The pressing member 22 is connected to the conveyor member 1, for example, in a pivotal connection.

[0036] In some embodiments, the material dispensing component 2 has a first state.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 The material distribution component 2 is in the first state.

[0038] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, in the first state, at least a portion of the baffle 21 protrudes into the material channel 11, and the pressing member 22 disengages from the material 4.

[0039] In this embodiment, the baffle 21 protrudes into the material channel 11 and can block the material 4 in the area where the baffle 21 is located in the material channel 11, so that the material 4 cannot pass through the area where the baffle 21 is located along the material channel 11. The pressing member 22 disengages from the material 4, and at this time the material 4 can pass smoothly through the area where the pressing member 22 is located along the material channel 11.

[0040] For example, in the first state, material 4 can be arranged and stacked between the stop 21 and the inlet 112.

[0041] In some embodiments, the drive component 3 includes a drive element 31 and a drive block 32 connected to the drive element 31.

[0042] In this embodiment, the driving element 31 can drive the driving block 32 to move, for example, in a linear reciprocating motion.

[0043] In some embodiments, in the first state, the drive block 32 is connected to one of the stop member 21 and the pressure member 22, and the drive block 32 abuts against the other of the stop member 21 and the pressure member 22.

[0044] In this embodiment, the drive block 32 can drive the stop member 21 and the pressure member 22 by connecting or abutting, thereby controlling the stop member 21 and the pressure member 22 to perform corresponding actions.

[0045] In this embodiment, the baffle 21 is controlled by the drive block 32 to protrude into the material channel 11, which can block the material 4 from being conveyed toward the material outlet 111, thereby switching the material sorting assembly 2 to the first state. The pressure member 22 is controlled by the drive block 32 to move (e.g., move away from the material channel 11) and keep the pressure member 22 from contacting the material 4. At this time, the material 4 can smoothly pass through the area where the pressure member 22 is located along the material channel 11, thereby switching the material sorting assembly 2 to the first state.

[0046] In the first state, the drive block 32 is connected to one of the pressing component 22 and the blocking component 21, and the drive block 32 abuts against the other of the pressing component 22 and the blocking component 21. This enables a single drive block 31 to control the pressing component 22 and the blocking component 21 to perform their actions, thereby reducing the manufacturing and use costs of the material distribution mechanism.

[0047] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 3 is provided with only one drive element 31. Compared with the scheme of "two drive elements 31 controlling the stop element 21 and the pressing element 22 respectively", the linkage between the stop element 21 and the pressing element 22 (e.g., the control order of the stop element 21 and the pressing element 22) is higher, and there is no need to consider the linkage design between the two drive elements 31, which reduces the design difficulty of the drive assembly 3 and the cost of realizing linkage control between the stop element 21 and the pressing element 22 is lower.

[0048] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the first state, the drive block 32 is connected to the stop member 21 and the drive block 32 abuts against the pressure member 22.

[0049] In this embodiment, the drive block 32 is connected to the stop member 21 to drive the stop member 21 to move. The drive block 32 and the pressing member 22 are in contact to drive the pressing member 22 to move, so the drive block 32 does not need to be connected to the pressing member 22, which simplifies the structure of the material distribution mechanism.

[0050] In this embodiment, the material distribution component 2 can be switched to the first state by connecting and driving the material stop 21 through the drive block 32, and by driving the material press 22 to move through the drive block 32 abutting against the material press 22.

[0051] In some embodiments, the dispensing component 2 also has a second state.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 The material distribution component 2 is in the second state. The movement of the drive block 32 can drive the material distribution component 2 to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0053] In some embodiments, in the second state, the drive block 32 is connected to the stop member 21, the drive block 32 is disengaged from the pressing member 22, and the pressing member 22 abuts against the material 4.

[0054] In this embodiment, the drive block 32 is connected to the stop member 21 to drive the stop member 21 to move. When the pressing member 22 is subjected to external force, it abuts against the material 4, so that the friction between the material 4 and the pressing member 22 can prevent the material 4 from moving along the conveying direction in the material channel 11, so that the material 4 cannot pass through the area where the pressing member 22 is located along the material channel 11.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the drive block 32 disengages from the pressure member 22, the pressure member 22 can automatically reset to the second state, for example by using the pressure member 22's own gravity or elastic deformation force.

[0056] In this embodiment, the material distribution component 2 can be driven to switch to the second state by connecting and driving the material stop 21 through the drive block 32, and by resetting the material stop 22 after the drive block 32 disengages from the material stop 22.

[0057] In some other embodiments, in the first state, the drive block 32 is connected to the pressing member 22 and abuts against the blocking member 21.

[0058] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the material distribution mechanism also includes an elastic element 5.

[0059] In this embodiment, the elastic element 5 can be a compression spring.

[0060] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown, the elastic member 5 abuts against the conveying member 1 and the pressing member 22 so that the pressing member 22 elastically holds the material 4 in the second state.

[0061] In this embodiment, in the second state, the pressing component 22 presses against the material 4 with the rebound force provided by the elastic component 5, providing a certain elastic preload while pressing. That is, the elastic force provided by the elastic component 5 holds the material 4 in place, making it less prone to loosening, thereby ensuring the pressing effect. At the same time, the dispensing mechanism can adapt to materials 4 with various outer diameters, and materials 4 with outer diameters within a certain range can be dispensed without changing the pressing component 22.

[0062] For example, one side of the elastic member 5 along the deformation direction abuts against the feeding member 1, and the opposite side of the elastic member 5 along the deformation direction abuts against the pressing member 22.

[0063] In this embodiment, the pressing component 22 (e.g., pressing part 221) can use the rebound force of the elastic element 5 to reset towards the material channel 11 to the second state, thereby performing the pressing action. Compared with the solution of "the pressing component 22 resets to the second state by its own gravity", this solution uses the elastic element 5 to reset, which can achieve rapid reset, ensure high-speed material distribution, and improve material distribution efficiency.

[0064] In other embodiments, the pressing member 22 returns to the second state by its own gravity, thus eliminating the need for an elastic member 5 between the feeding member 1 and the pressing member 22.

[0065] In this embodiment, compared with the solution of "the drive block 32 is connected to the pressing component 22, and after the drive block 32 disengages from the blocking component 21, the blocking component 21 elastically resets to the second state", this solution can achieve the pressing component 22 elastically resisting the material 4, resulting in a better pressing effect, and the blocking component 21 is not easy to shake in the material channel 11.

[0066] In other embodiments, the drive block 32 is connected to the pressure member 22. After the drive block 32 disengages from the stop member 21, the stop member 21 elastically resets to the second state.

[0067] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 The pressing component 22 is pivotally connected to the conveying component 1.

[0068] In this embodiment, the pressing member 22 can be pivotally connected to the conveying member 1 via the central rotating part 223, for example, by installing a pivot shaft between the rotating part 223 and the conveying member 1.

[0069] In some embodiments, the pressure member 22 has a pressure portion 221 and a support portion 222.

[0070] In this embodiment, the pressing part 221 and the supporting part 222 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the pressing member 22.

[0071] For example, such as Figure 2 The rotating part 223 is connected between the pressing part 221 and the supporting part 222, so that the pressing part 22 forms a "C" shaped structure.

[0072] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the pressing part 221 is disposed opposite to the side of the conveying member 1 with the material channel 11, and the supporting part 222 is disposed opposite to the side of the conveying member 1 away from the material channel 11.

[0073] In this embodiment, the pressing part 221 and the side of the conveying member 1 with the material channel 11 face each other, and the supporting part 222 and the side of the conveying member 1 away from the material channel 11 face each other. That is, the pressing part 221 and the supporting part 222 are located on both sides of the conveying member 1, respectively. Compared with the solution where "the pressing part 221 and the supporting part 222 are located on the same side of the conveying member 1", the material distribution mechanism in this solution has a more compact structure and occupies less space.

[0074] In some embodiments, the elastic member 5 abuts against the supporting portion 222 and the side of the conveying member 1 away from the feed channel 11.

[0075] In this embodiment, as Figure 6The elastic member 5 abuts against the supporting part 222 and the side of the conveying member 1 away from the material channel 11, so that the pressing member 22 elastically abuts against the material 4. Even if the material distribution assembly 2 is kept in the second state, the material 4 is not easy to pass through the area where the pressing member 22 is located along the material channel 11.

[0076] For example, by providing mounting grooves on the opposite end faces of the supporting part 222 and the conveying part 1, the elastic member 5 can be inserted into the two mounting grooves, thus completing the assembly of the elastic member 5 and simplifying the installation steps.

[0077] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 As shown, the material stop 21 has a material stop portion 211.

[0078] In this embodiment, the material stop 211 can be the end portion of the material stop 21.

[0079] In some embodiments, in the first state, the baffle 211 is located inside the material channel 11.

[0080] In this embodiment, in the first state, the material stopper 21 protrudes into the material channel 11 by means of the material stopper 211, which can block the material 4 in the material channel 11 and prevent the material 4 from passing through the area where the material stopper 211 is located along the material channel 11.

[0081] In some embodiments, the material conveyor 1 has a material blocking channel 12 connected to the material channel 11.

[0082] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the material blocking channel 12 is not less than the outer diameter of the material blocking member 21, so that the material blocking member 21 can move within the material blocking channel 12. Placing the material blocking channel 12 on the material conveying member 1 improves the integration level of the material distribution mechanism.

[0083] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 5 As shown, in the second state, the baffle 211 is located inside the baffle channel 12.

[0084] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 In the second state, the baffle 211 exits the material channel 11 and is located in the baffle channel 12, so that the material 4 (e.g., the first material 41) between the baffle 21 and the pressing member 22 can pass smoothly through the baffle 21 and flow to the material outlet 111.

[0085] In this embodiment, as Figure 5In the second state, the baffle 211 retracts into the baffle channel 12. Since the pressure plate abuts against the second material 42, the second material 42 cannot move. At this time, only the material 4 (e.g., the first material 41) between the baffle 21 and the pressure plate 22 can move, realizing the output of one material 4 at a time. That is, only one material 4 can pass through the baffle 21 at a time, thereby realizing the separation and conveying of multiple materials 4 one by one. Among them, the material outlet 111, the first material 41, the second material 42, and the material inlet 112 are arranged in sequence.

[0086] In this embodiment, the material stop 21 (e.g., the material stop portion 211) extends into the material channel 11 along the material stop channel 12, causing the material distribution component 2 to switch to the first state; the material stop 21 exits the material channel 11 along the material stop channel 12, causing the material distribution component 2 to switch to the second state. The material stop 21 and the material stop channel 12 slide against each other to ensure the stability of the movement of the material stop 21 when the material distribution component 2 switches between the two states.

[0087] In this embodiment, in the first state, the baffle 21 is located within the baffle channel 12, which can improve the blocking strength of the baffle 21 for the material 4. In the second state, the baffle 21 is located within the baffle channel 12, which can improve the stability of the baffle 21 and avoid interference with the material 4 in the material channel 11.

[0088] For example, since the elastic element 5 abuts against the pressing element 22 and the conveying element 1, during the process of the material distribution component 2 switching from the first state to the second state, the blocking element 21 and the pressing element 22 can start moving simultaneously, avoiding the pressing element 22 moving too late and causing multiple materials 4 to be output at the same time. Furthermore, during the process of the material distribution component 2 switching from the first state to the second state, the pressing element 22, driven by the elastic element 5, can reach the second state first, improving the reaction speed of the pressing element 22, while the blocking element 21, driven by the driving block 32, can reach the second state later.

[0089] For example, during the process of switching from the second state to the first state, the movement of the material blocking member 21 and the material pressing member 22 has a sequential order. That is, the driving block 32 first drives the material blocking member 21 to block the material (i.e., drives the material blocking part 211 to extend into the material channel 11), and then the driving block 32 abuts against the material pressing member 22 to release the material pressing (e.g., drives the material pressing part 221 away from the material channel 11). This avoids the situation where the material 4 has already passed through the area where the material blocking member 21 is located when the material pressing is released too early, which would affect the material distribution.

[0090] In some embodiments, the feeder 1 has a blower 13 exposed in the feed channel 11.

[0091] In this embodiment, the pressurized gas from an external gas source can flow into the material channel 11 through the blowing port 13.

[0092] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the blowing port 13 is located between the material blocking part 211 and the material pressing part 221.

[0093] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 In the second state, the pressing member 22 presses down on the second material 42 (i.e., the pressing part 221 abuts against the second material 42), and the blocking member 21 releases the blocking of the first material 41 (i.e., the blocking part 211 extends into the blocking channel 12). The pressurized gas from the external air source flows into the material channel 11 through the blowing port 13, thereby blowing the first material 41 towards the material outlet 111, accelerating the outflow of the first material 41 and improving the material distribution efficiency.

[0094] For example, the baffle 211 and the pressing part 221 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the material channel 11 (i.e., the conveying direction of the material 4). Thus, as... Figure 3 In the first state, the stop part 211 abuts against the first material 41, and the pressing part 221 disengages from the second material 42; as Figure 5 In the second state, the material stop 211 disengages from the first material 41, and the material pressing part 221 abuts against the second material 42.

[0095] In other embodiments, the feed channel 11 can be tilted so that the material 4 can be conveyed by its own weight or by the vibrating disc of the previous process, without the need to set up the blow port 13.

[0096] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the conveyor 1 has a material opening 113 that exposes the material channel 11.

[0097] In this embodiment, the material opening 113 exposes one side of the material channel 11 (e.g., the top of the material channel 11), which facilitates the manufacturing of the material channel 11, and thus the manufacturing of the material conveying component 1.

[0098] In some embodiments, the material distribution mechanism further includes a material cover plate 6 connected to the material conveyor 1.

[0099] In this embodiment, the material cover plate 6 is detachably connected to the material conveying component 1 (e.g., bolted connection), which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the material cover plate 6.

[0100] In some embodiments, the material cover 6 covers at least a portion of the material opening 113.

[0101] In this embodiment, after the material cover plate 6 covers the material opening 113, the material 4 is not easily separated from the material channel 11 from the material cover plate 6.

[0102] In some embodiments, the material cover plate 6 is disposed opposite to the blowing port 13.

[0103] In this embodiment, when the blowing port 13 blows the material 4 in the material channel 11, the material cover plate 6 blocks the material opening 113 to prevent the material 4 from being blown out of the material channel 11 from the material opening 113.

[0104] For example, the material opening 113 is exposed at the top of the material channel 11, and the material blocking channel 12 is connected to the bottom of the material channel 11. This allows the material blocking member 21 (e.g., the material blocking part 211) to protrude into the material channel 11 after moving from bottom to top, thereby performing a material blocking action. Compared to "the material blocking member 21 moving from top to bottom to perform a material blocking action", this avoids the material blocking member 21 pressing the material 4 tightly into the material channel 11, causing material jamming. After the material pressing member 22 (e.g., the material pressing part 221) moves from top to bottom, it can abut against the material 4 through the material opening 113, thereby performing a material pressing action.

[0105] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the material conveying component 1 has a blowing channel 14 connected to the blowing port 13.

[0106] In this embodiment, the blowing channel 14 is connected to the material channel 11 through the blowing port 13, and the blowing port 13 is the outlet of the blowing channel 14.

[0107] In some embodiments, the feed channel 11 has a feed inlet 112.

[0108] In this embodiment, the material channel 11 also has a material outlet 111. The material inlet 112 can be connected to the output end of the previous process (e.g., a vibrating disc), and the material outlet 111 can be connected to the next process.

[0109] In some embodiments, the extending direction of the blowing channel 14 intersects the extending direction of the material channel 11.

[0110] In this embodiment, the extension direction of the material channel 11 can be the material 4 conveying direction between the material inlet 112 and the material outlet 111. The extension direction of the blowing channel 14 can be the airflow direction between the inlet of the blowing channel 14 and the outlet of the blowing channel 14 (e.g., the blowing port 13).

[0111] In some embodiments, the blowing channel 14 is inclined toward the material inlet 112.

[0112] In this embodiment, the blowing channel 14 is inclined relative to the conveying direction of the material 4, so that the force generated by the airflow in the blowing channel 14 has a component force in other directions in addition to the component force towards the material outlet 111, which facilitates the movement of the material 4 while avoiding the blowing channel 14 occupying the space in the material channel 11.

[0113] In some embodiments, the blow-out port 13 is exposed at the bottom of the feed channel 11.

[0114] In this embodiment, the blowing port 13 can be exposed at the bottom of the material channel 11, so that the force generated by the airflow in the blowing channel 14 has not only a component force toward the material outlet 111, but also an upward component force, thereby overcoming the weight of the material 4 and facilitating the movement of the blown material 4 toward the material outlet 111.

[0115] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the supporting part 222 has a first supporting surface 224, and the driving block 32 has a second supporting surface 321.

[0116] In this embodiment, the first abutment surface 224 and the second abutment surface 321 are inclined relative to the driving direction of the driving block 32.

[0117] In other embodiments, the first abutment surface 224 and the second abutment surface 321 may also be two arc-shaped surfaces.

[0118] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 4 As shown, in the first state, the second abutting surface 321 abuts against the first abutting surface 224, and the first abutting surface 224 and the second abutting surface 321 are parallel to each other.

[0119] In this embodiment, the pressing component 22 and the driving block 32 abut against each other using the first abutting surface 224 and the second abutting surface 321 that are parallel to each other, thereby increasing the contact area when they abut against each other, improving the abutting strength of the driving block 32 against the pressing component 22 in the first state, and preventing the pressing component 22 from loosening.

[0120] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 3 also includes a mounting base 33 connected to the drive component 31 and a sliding structure 34.

[0121] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 The feeding component 1 is connected to the mounting base 33, and the entire feeding mechanism can be fixed to the connector production line through the mounting base 33.

[0122] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the sliding structure 34 connects the drive block 32 and the mounting base 33.

[0123] In this embodiment, the drive block 32 is connected to the mounting base 33 by a sliding structure 34, which can improve the smoothness of the movement of the drive block 32 and thus improve the stability of the drive block 32 when driving the stop member 21 and the pressing member 22.

[0124] In this embodiment, the sliding structure 34 includes a guide rail 342 and a slider 341. The driving block 32 is connected to the slider 341, and the guide rail 342 is connected to the mounting base 33. By utilizing the sliding engagement between the slider 341 and the guide rail 342, the driving block 32 can slide relative to the mounting base 33 (i.e., the material conveyor 1).

[0125] In some embodiments, the sliding engagement direction of the sliding structure 34 is parallel to the driving direction of the driving member 31.

[0126] In this embodiment, the sliding engagement direction of the sliding structure 34 and the driving direction of the driving member 31 are both linear reciprocating motions, thereby simplifying the structure of the material distribution mechanism. The sliding engagement direction of the sliding structure 34 is parallel to the driving direction of the driving member 31, which can improve the smoothness of the movement of the driving block 32, thereby improving the stability of the driving block 32 when driving the stop member 21 and the pressing member 22.

[0127] For example, the drive unit 31 can be a linear cylinder, such as a piston cylinder. Compared with the solution of using a rotary cylinder, the structure of the drive unit 31 is simple, and it can also simplify the drive assembly 3 and reduce the cost of the material distribution mechanism.
