The rivet nut 27 falls on the rotating disc 6, if the sleeve 271 of the rivet nut 27 faces upwards, the rotating disc 6 drives the rivet nut 27 to move towards one baffle plate 101, and the baffle plate 101 blocks the rivet nut 27 from entering into the other independent area, so that the rivet nut 27 is positioned in the undetected area, and the rivet nut 27 slides outwards of the rotating disc 6 under the pushing action of the baffle plate 101 along with the rotation of the rotating disc 6;
If the sleeve 271 of the rivet nut 27 faces downwards and is positioned in the limit hole 7, the rotating disc 6 drives the rivet nut 27 to enter another independent area from the undetected area, when the rivet nut 27 moves to the ballast assembly 91, the rotating disc 6 stops rotating, at the moment, the ballast assembly 91 presses the rivet nut 27 downwards to realize the detection of the flatness of the end face of the flanging ring 272 of the rivet nut 27, the signal board 93 transmits signals of whether the rivet nut 27 is a qualified semi-finished product to the jacking rod 102, and the two jacking rods 102 respectively correspond to the jacking action of the qualified semi-finished product and the jacking action of the unqualified semi-finished product;
if the rivet nut 27 is an unqualified semi-finished product, the rotating disc 6 drives the rivet nut 27 to move to an unqualified semi-finished product area, and at the moment, the jacking rod 102 positioned in the unqualified semi-finished product area pushes the rivet nut 27 out of the limiting hole 7 rapidly, and along with the rotation of the rotating disc 6, the rivet nut 27 slides outwards of the rotating disc 6 under the pushing action of the baffle plate 101, so that the classification discharging of the rivet nut 27 is realized.
For rapid screening of the detected rivet nuts 27, referring to fig. 3 and 4, a receiving hopper 21 is provided below the rotating disc 6, and the receiving hopper 21 is fixedly mounted on the top plate 30 through a connecting plate. The open end of the receiving hopper 21 is fixedly provided with a guide plate 28, the guide plate 28 is projected in the receiving hopper 21, the projection of the rotating disc 6 is arranged on the guide plate 28, and the upper surface of the guide plate 28 is obliquely arranged from the center of the rotating disc 6 to the periphery of the guide plate 28. Three division plates 22 are arranged in the receiving hopper 21, the receiving hopper 21 is divided into three independent chambers 23 by the three division plates 22, the three division plates 22 are respectively in one-to-one correspondence with the three baffle plates 101 and are arranged in a coplanar mode, one independent chamber 23 is communicated with the second conveying pipe 11, the second conveying pipe 11 and one jacking rod 102 for jacking qualified semi-finished products are all arranged in the same independent chamber 23 in a projection mode, one end of the second conveying pipe 11, far away from the receiving hopper 21, points to the vibrating disc 2, and the second conveying pipe 11 is used for conveying qualified rivet nuts 27 on the rotating disc 6 into the vibrating disc 2. The other two independent chambers 23 on the receiving hopper 21 are also respectively communicated with a conduit 32, and one end of each conduit 32 far away from the receiving hopper 21 is correspondingly provided with a receiving box 33 for receiving the rivet nut 27.
The implementation principle of the automatic feeding device provided by the embodiment of the application is that the transfer mechanism 4 lifts the transfer box 1 to the upper part of the top plate 30, the rivet nuts 27 to be tapped are transferred to the transfer hopper 16, the transfer hopper 16 slides on the track 14, the rivet nuts 27 in the transfer hopper are put into different conveying hoppers 15, and the rivet nuts 27 slide down to the direction of the vibration disc 2 in the conveying pipe 3 under the action of gravity.
The rivet nuts 27 sequentially pass through the feed delivery pipe 3, the horn 51 and the limiting cylinder 52 and vertically drop into the bearing grooves 17 on the rotating disc 6 one by one. If the sleeve 271 of the rivet nut 27 is directed upwards, the rivet nut 27 slides off the rotating disc 6 under the pushing action of the striker plate 101 as the rotating disc 6 rotates and falls into a separate chamber 23 of the receiving hopper 21, for which purpose the undetected rivet nut 27 is collected into a receiving box 33 under the action of the guide tube 32.
If the sleeve 271 of the rivet nut 27 faces downwards and is positioned in the limiting hole 7, the flanging ring 272 of the rivet nut 27 is embedded into the bearing groove 17 at the moment, when the rotating disc 6 drives the rivet nut 27 to move to the ballast component 91, the rotating disc 6 stops rotating, and the ballast component 91 presses the rivet nut 27 downwards at the moment, so that the flatness of the end face of the flanging ring 272 of the rivet nut 27 is detected;
The signal plate 93 transmits a signal of whether the rivet nut 27 is a qualified semi-finished product to the jacking rod 102, if the rivet nut 27 is a qualified semi-finished product, the rotating disc 6 drives the rivet nut 27 to move to a qualified semi-finished product area, at the moment, the jacking rod 102 positioned in the qualified semi-finished product area rapidly pushes the rivet nut 27 out of the limiting hole 7, along with the rotation of the rotating disc 6, the rivet nut 27 slides outwards of the rotating disc 6 under the pushing action of the baffle plate 101 and falls into an independent cavity 23 of the receiving hopper 21, the second conveying pipe 11 transmits the qualified semi-finished product in the independent cavity 23 into the vibrating disc 2, and the vibrating disc 2 delivers the rivet nuts 27 into the tapping machine one by one for tapping treatment.
If the semi-finished product is unqualified, the rotating disc 6 drives the rivet nut 27 to move to the area of the unqualified semi-finished product, at this time, the jacking rod 102 positioned in the area of the unqualified semi-finished product pushes the rivet nut 27 out of the limiting hole 7 rapidly, along with the rotation of the rotating disc 6, the rivet nut 27 slides outwards of the rotating disc 6 under the pushing action of the baffle plate 101 and falls into an independent cavity 23 of the receiving hopper 21, and for this purpose, the rivet nut 27 of the unqualified semi-finished product is collected into a receiving box 33 under the action of the guide pipe 32.
The above embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the application, so that the equivalent changes of the structure, shape and principle of the application are covered by the scope of the application.
