Part feeding system DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 20 In this detailed description, the part feeding system (A) of the invention is only a more detailed explanation of the subject matter. To ensure a good understanding, it is explained with examples that do not create any limiting effects. The subject of the invention is to attach a nut to unformed flat sheet metal workpieces (2). Part feeding system that can automate the welding process without relying on an operator. It is related to system (A). 25 For the purpose of illustrating the drawings, the X direction is circular from the primary pneumatic piston (4011). The direction of movement is defined to the driver (5). The stationary spot welding machine (1) is used to weld nuts to the workpiece (2). 5 To ensure the automatic feeding of the fixed spot welding machine (1) There is a loading vehicle (7). As seen in Figures 1 and 2, the aforementioned loading workpiece (2) positioned on the vehicle (7), magazine (3), linear drive (4), primary pneumatic piston (4011), circular drive (5), secondary pneumatic piston (5011) and discharger There are. The aforementioned loading vehicle (7) and the 10 located on the loading vehicle. (2) spot welding of nuts to flat sheet metal workpieces thanks to the elements The process involves automatic part feeding without the need for an operator. The loading vehicle (7) is used on more than one fixed spot welding machine (1). It has wheels (7011) that enable it to be mobile in order to provide the mentioned Thanks to their braking system, the wheels (7011) can withstand the welding process for 15 minutes. It fixes the aforementioned loading vehicle (7). The aforementioned loading vehicle (7) has Its height can be increased or decreased thanks to the adjustment mechanism (7020). The height of the loading vehicle (7) can be adjusted thanks to the adjustment mechanism (7020). Its use in more than one fixed spot welding machine (1) is possible. The mentioned adjustment mechanism (7020) consisting of primary beam (7021), secondary beam (7022) and connecting element 20 (7023) consists of at least 4 adjustment mechanisms (7020) connected to the loading vehicle (7). It is located. The connection of the aforementioned primary beam (7021) to the secondary beam (7022) is a link. This is provided by element (7023). Multiple elements are located on the surface of the primary beam (7021). Thanks to the connecting element (7023), the connecting element (7023) can be at the desired height. The secondary beam (7022) is aligned to the level. The desired connecting element (7023) 25 Secondary beam (7022) aligned with the level of the primary beam (7021) and connecting element (7023) It is connected by this means. In this way, the height adjustment of the loading vehicle (7) is made. The workpiece (2) is a flat sheet metal plate to which the nut will be welded. Unformed flat sheet metal workpiece It has a magazine (3) mechanism in which its parts (2) are stacked on top of each other. The aforementioned magazine (3) feeds the workpieces (2) one by one into the linear drive (4) during processing. It ensures that a total of 7 magazines are delivered side by side on the loading vehicle (7). (3) is located. The sliding mechanism that enables the movement of the mentioned magazines (3). (2011) is located. Flat sheet metal workpieces (2) coming from the magazine (3) to the linear drive (4) The movement of the workpieces (2) in the X direction is driven by the primary pneumatic piston (4011). This is ensured. Workpieces (2) that are moved in the X direction reach the circular drive (5). 35 6 There are 4 eyes (5012) located on the circular drive. Circular The workpiece (2) that reaches the driver (5) is placed in the first eye (5012) in the next row. Afterwards, The circular drive (5) moves a quarter turn after each fixed point cycle, 5 The driving operation begins. The circular drive (5) is driven by the secondary pneumatic piston (5011). The movement is provided by being driven. The mentioned circular drive (5) rotates 90° in each cycle. By turning, it is made to move to the next eye (5012). This stage is also done with a fixed spot machine (1) Welding of the formless flat sheet metal workpiece (2) onto the vibratory nut driver (6) It brings the nut. The vibratory nut driver (6) has 10 nuts scattered in its funnel. It moves the nuts using vibration force, pushing them into helical paths around the funnel. The grooves and protrusions in the helical paths ensure the nut is aligned as desired and the center point. It ensures that the nut is sent to the welding machine (1) for welding. In this area both the formless flat sheet metal workpiece (2) and the workpiece with nut welding (2) The part is seen by the laser sensor (10) and the nut laser sensor (11). The aforementioned 15 The circular drive (5) rotates 90° in each cycle to move to the next eye (5012). With the provision of the mentioned workpiece laser sensor (10) workpiece (2), It checks whether its absence and position are incorrect. If the job If part (2) is missing or its position is incorrect, the system stops working. If it is in the correct position, the system continues to operate. Control panel (8) this 20 The workpiece is the laser sensor that enables the transmission of the signal (10). Similarly By checking the presence and position of the nut, the necessary signal is transmitted. There is a nut laser sensor (11) that sends to the control panel (8). The nut also and fixed spot if there is no error in the welding position of the flat sheet metal workpiece (2). The machine completes the welding process. Afterwards, the circular drive (5) again at a 90° angle 25 by doing the operation of the circular drive (5) of the nut-welded workpiece (2). a kind of thing that allows it to fall by its own weight via a circular drive. There is a discharger (9) with a slide system. The discharge eye of the circular drive (5) (5012) moves to the empty position that can take the formless flat metal workpiece (2). The system has a problem. Until it comes out or until the magazine (3) is changed, it will automatically operate in this cycle 30 It continues.
