Specifically, as shown in fig. 1-3, the spring separator includes an air inlet pipe 100, a spring bin 200, a spring outlet pipe 400, a loading assembly 500, and an operation table 600. Wherein, the spring 300 to be separated is placed in the spring storage bin 200, one end of the spring storage bin 200 is communicated with the air inlet pipe 100, and the other end is communicated with one end of the spring outlet pipe 400. Gas can enter the spring bin 200 through the gas inlet pipe 100 to blow the springs 300 to be separated, so that the springs 300 wound together are separated, and the springs 300 separated from each other are blown out of the spring pipeline 400 one by one, compared with manual separation of the springs 300, the separation rate of the springs 300 is improved, and the springs 300 can be protected from being damaged.

The operating platform 600 is provided with a first sensor 610, the first sensor 610 can detect whether the operating platform 600 has the spring 300, when the first sensor 610 detects that the operating platform 600 has no spring 300, the material blocking device 520 opens the discharge hole of the discharging channel 510, and the spring 300 can be discharged from the discharge hole of the discharging channel 510 and fall onto the operating platform 600. When the first sensor 610 detects that the spring 300 is on the operating platform 600, the material blocking device 520 blocks the discharge hole of the discharging channel 510, and the spring 300 cannot be discharged from the discharge hole of the discharging channel 510. Through the cooperation of first sensor 610 and dam device 520, can realize that spring 300 is automatic and material loading one by one, improve production efficiency.

Specifically, the operation process of the spring separator is as follows:

the gas enters the spring storage bin 200 through the gas inlet pipe 100, separates the springs 300 in the spring storage bin 200, blows the separated springs into the spring pipelines 400, and moves forward along the extension direction of the spring pipelines 400 under the action of the gas until the gas enters the discharging channel 510 of the feeding assembly 500. When the first sensor 610 detects that there is not spring 300 on the operation panel 600, the dam device 520 cooperates and opens the discharge gate of the lower material way 510, and under the pressure of gas, when the dam device 520 opens the discharge gate of the lower material way 510, the spring 300 can break away from the lower material way 510 and fall into the operation panel 600, and at this moment, the first sensor 610 detects that there is spring 300 on the operation panel 600, and the dam device 520 blocks the discharge gate of the lower material way 510, so that the spring 300 is loaded one by one for the operation panel 600. The moving speed of the springs 300 in the discharging chute 510 can be controlled by controlling the air inflow of the air inlet pipe 100, thereby ensuring that only one spring 300 falls down on the operating table 600 at a time.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the material blocking device 520 may include a second cylinder, and when a piston rod of the second cylinder extends, the discharge hole of the material discharging channel 510 is blocked; when the piston rod of the second cylinder retracts, the discharge hole of the discharging channel 510 is opened. In other embodiments, the material blocking device 520 may also include other mechanisms capable of outputting linear motion, such as a hydraulic cylinder, a linear motor, and the like, and may be selected according to actual needs. In order to ensure the sealing reliability of the piston rod of the second cylinder to the discharge port of the discharge channel 510, the sectional area of the piston rod of the second cylinder should be greater than or equal to the area of the discharge port of the corresponding discharge channel 510. Preferably, the magnetic member 620 may be disposed on the console 600, and in particular, a receiving groove may be formed in the middle of the console 600, the magnetic member 620 is mounted in the receiving groove, and the upper surface of the magnetic member 620 is flush with the upper surface of the console 620, so as to avoid the magnetic member 620 protruding or falling below the console 600 to prevent the spring 300 from falling onto the console 600. Because the spring 300 is made of metal material, the spring 300 discharged from the discharge port of the discharging channel 510 can be adsorbed by the magnetic member 620 when falling onto the operation platform 600, so that the spring 300 can be fixed conveniently, the spring 300 is prevented from bouncing away from the operation platform 600 under the action of the elastic deformation of the spring 300 and the speed of falling into the operation platform 600, and the stability of feeding is realized. The magnetic member 620 may be a magnet.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, the first sensor 610 may be a proximity sensor, and when the spring 300 approaches the detection end of the proximity sensor, the proximity sensor can detect the spring 300, thereby recognizing that the spring 300 is on the console 600. Of course, in other embodiments, the first sensor 610 may also be other sensors, such as a photoelectric sensor, and the like, and may be set according to actual needs.

Alternatively, the lower material passage 510 may have a tubular structure, such that the springs 300 can be sequentially arranged along the length direction of the lower material passage 510, thereby facilitating the subsequent loading of the springs 300.

Further, in order to arrange the springs 300 in order in the discharging channel 510, the diameter of the discharging channel 510 may be matched with the diameter of the springs 300, so that only one spring 300 can pass through.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, the feeding assembly 500 further includes a dividing device 530, and for convenience of understanding, the spring 300 in the feeding duct 510 adjacent to the operating table 600 is positioned as a first spring 310, the spring 300 adjacent to the first spring 310 is defined as a second spring 320, and so on. The feed divider 530 is used to limit the sliding of the second spring 320. The feed splitter 530 cooperates with the stop 520 such that one spring 300 is dropped onto the table 600 at a time. Specifically, when the material blocking device 520 opens the discharge hole of the discharging channel 510, the first spring 310 starts to slide out of the discharging channel 510, and at this time, the material separating device 530 limits the sliding of the second spring 320, so that the second spring 320 and the first spring 310 are prevented from sliding out of the discharging channel 510 together, and the reliability of one-by-one feeding of the spring separator is ensured.

Specifically, in this embodiment, an opening is formed above the discharging channel 510 opposite to the second spring 320, and the material dividing device 530 is inserted into the discharging channel 510 from the opening and is inserted into the second spring 320, so as to prevent the second spring 320 from moving. In other embodiments, the arrangement of the blanking channel 510 may be other, and may be set according to actual needs.

Further, in one embodiment, the material dividing device 530 includes a first air cylinder, and a piston rod of the first air cylinder can be inserted into the material discharging channel 510. Specifically, when the piston rod of the first cylinder is extended, the piston rod of the first cylinder is inserted into the discharging channel 510 to limit the movement of the second spring 320. When the piston rod of the first cylinder retracts, the piston rod of the first cylinder is far away from the blanking channel 510. More preferably, since the spring 300 is spiral and has a small gap, in order to facilitate the insertion of the piston rod of the first cylinder into the discharging channel 510 and then the second spring 320, the end of the first cylinder may be conical. In other embodiments, the material separating device 530 may also be other mechanisms capable of outputting linear motion, such as a hydraulic cylinder, a linear motor, etc., and may be set according to actual needs.

Further, the feeding assembly 500 may further include a second sensor 540, the second sensor 540 is disposed at an end of the feeding channel 510 connected to the spring outlet pipe 400, and is used for detecting whether the feeding channel 510 is filled with the springs 300, and when the feeding channel 510 is filled with the springs 300, the second sensor 540 sends a signal, so that the air inlet pipe 100 stops ventilating the spring bin 200. When the second sensor 540 sends a full signal and the first sensor 610 sends a signal that the operating platform 600 does not have the spring 300, the material blocking device 520 opens the discharge hole of the discharging channel 510, the material separating device 530 is inserted into the discharging channel 510 to limit the movement of the second spring 320, and the first spring 310 is loaded to the operating platform 600.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the sliding speed of the spring 300 in the discharging channel 510 is fast, and the spring 300 can pass through the second sensor 540 within about 1s, and when the discharging channel 510 is not filled with the spring 300, the second sensor 540 can only detect the spring 300 temporarily, so that a detection time can be set for the second sensor 540, and if the second sensor 540 continuously detects the presence of the spring 300 within 4s-5s, it indicates that the discharging channel 510 is filled with the spring 300. Of course, the detection time of the second sensor 540 may be other, and may be selected according to the moving speed of the spring 300.

Preferably, the spring outlet pipe 400 and the discharging channel 510 are both cylindrical pipes, and therefore, the second sensor 540 may be an annular proximity sensor for easy installation. Of course, the second sensor 540 may also be other sensors, such as a photoelectric sensor, and the like, and may be set according to actual needs.

Preferably, in order to timely exhaust the gas in the spring outlet pipe 400 and control the air pressure in the spring outlet pipe 400, and to avoid that the spring 300 cannot enter the spring outlet pipe 400 from the spring storage bin 200 because the spring outlet pipe 400 cannot be charged after being filled with the gas, an exhaust device 700 may be disposed at one end of the spring outlet pipe 400 connected to the discharging material channel 510, and the gas in the spring outlet pipe 400 can be exhausted from the exhaust device 700.
