In the first embodiment, the first accommodation region 213 is used for accommodating a plurality of metal components 300, and the second accommodation region 214 is used for accommodating one metal component 300; the length of the first magnetic segment 322 and the first magnet 3221 thereof in the up-down direction D1 is greater than the length of the second magnetic segment 422 and the second magnet 4221 thereof in the up-down direction D1, the length of the first magnetic segment 322 and the first magnet 3221 thereof in the up-down direction D1 corresponds to the length of the plurality of metal elements 300 arranged in the up-down direction D1, and the length of the second magnetic segment 422 and the second magnet 4221 thereof in the up-down direction D1 corresponds to the length of the single metal element 300 in the up-down direction D1. That is to say, the first magnetic section 322 and the first magnet 3221 thereof are used for simultaneously attracting and fixing the plurality of metal elements 300 in the first accommodating area 213, and the second magnetic section 422 and the second magnet 4221 thereof are used for attracting and fixing the single metal element 300 in the second accommodating area 214, so that the magnetic attraction holding force and the attraction range of the first magnetic section 322 and the first magnet 3221 thereof to the metal element 300 can be increased, so as to prevent the metal elements 300, which are located in the first accommodating area 213 and are, for example, spring elements, from being entangled with each other due to the vibration generated by the supply device 200 (vibration separator).

The second movable portion 42 is configured to move between a second attracting position and a second non-attracting position relative to the second fixed portion 41, when the second movable portion 42 is at the second attracting position, the second movable portion 42 is adjacent to the second accommodating area 214 of the accommodating passage 21 of the accommodating tube 2, and the second magnet 4221 of the second magnetic section 422 attracts and fixes the metal component 300 located in the second accommodating area 214; when the second movable portion 42 is at the second non-attracting position, the second movable portion 42 is far away from the second accommodating area 214 of the accommodating passage 21 of the accommodating tube 2, and the second magnet 4221 of the second magnetic segment 422 does not attract and fix the metal member 300 located in the second accommodating area 214.

Since the first magnetic module 3 and the second magnetic module 4 are respectively located at two sides of the accommodating tube 2, and the first magnetic section 322 of the first movable portion 32 and the second magnetic section 422 of the second movable portion 42 are respectively used for attracting and fixing the metal members 300 located in the first accommodating area 213 and the second accommodating area 214 from two sides of the accommodating tube 2, the first magnet 3221 of the first magnetic section 322 and the second magnet 4221 of the second magnetic section 422 are less likely to affect each other. In addition, in the first embodiment, when the first movable portion 32 of the first magnetic module 3 is at the first absorption position and the second movable portion 42 of the second magnetic module 4 is at the second absorption position, the first magnetic section 322 of the first movable portion 32 and the second magnetic section 422 of the second movable portion 42 are directly abutted against the side edge of the accommodating tube 2, so that the setting plate 11 of the base 1 is further formed with two supporting blocks 112 located at the periphery of the accommodating tube 2 and respectively located at the opposite sides of the first movable portion 32 and the second movable portion 42, and the two supporting blocks 112 are used for assisting in supporting the accommodating tube 2 so as to prevent the accommodating tube 2 from being pushed by the first movable portion 32 of the first magnetic module 3 and the second movable portion 42 of the second magnetic module 4 to be bent and deformed.

The operation of the separation apparatus 100 is described below.

Referring to fig. 4, in a first step, the first movable portion 32 of the first magnetic module 3 is in the first absorption position, and the second movable portion 42 of the second magnetic module 4 is in the second non-absorption position. At this time, the supply device 200 (see fig. 1) conveys the metal pieces 300 in a row to the accommodating tube 2 of the separation device 100 through the conduit 201, and the plurality of metal pieces 300 enter from the inlet 211 of the accommodating tube 2 and slide down along the vertical direction D1 until the lower ones of the plurality of metal pieces 300 slide down to the first accommodating area 213 of the accommodating channel 21 and are adsorbed and fixed by the first magnetic section 322 of the first movable portion 32 of the first magnetic module 3 located at the first adsorption position.

Referring to fig. 5, in the second step, the second movable portion 42 of the second magnetic module 4 moves from the second non-attracting position to the accommodating tube 2 to the second attracting position.

Referring to fig. 6, in the third step, the first movable portion 32 of the first magnetic module 3 moves from the first attracting position to the first non-attracting position away from the accommodating tube 2. At this time, the metal element 300 in the first receiving area 213 of the receiving channel 21 loses the adsorption fixing force provided by the first magnetic section 322 of the first movable portion 32 of the first magnetic module 3, so that the metal element 300 in the first receiving area 213 of the receiving channel 21 and the metal element 300 above slide down until the lowest metal element 300 slides down to the second receiving area 214 of the receiving channel 21 and is adsorbed and fixed by the second magnetic section 422 of the second movable portion 42 of the second magnetic module 4 located at the second adsorption position.

Referring to fig. 7, in the fourth step, after the metal member 300 at the bottom slides down to the second receiving area 214 of the receiving channel 21 and is adsorbed and fixed, the first movable portion 32 of the first magnetic module 3 moves from the first non-adsorbing position to the first adsorbing position toward the receiving tube 2. At this time, the metal element 300 in the first accommodating area 213 is attracted and fixed by the first magnetic section 322 of the first movable portion 32 of the first magnetic module 3 located at the first attraction position.

Referring to fig. 8, in a fifth step, the second movable portion 42 of the second magnetic module 4 moves from the second attraction position to the second non-attraction position away from the accommodating tube 2. At this time, the single metal piece 300 in the second accommodating area 214 of the accommodating channel 21 loses the adsorption fixing force provided by the second magnetic section 422 of the second movable portion 42 of the second magnetic module 4, so that the single metal piece 300 in the second accommodating area 214 of the accommodating channel 21 slides down and falls down onto a product fixed by one of the jigs 401 of the index plate 400 (see fig. 1) through the release opening 212 of the accommodating tube 2.

After the above steps are completed, the index plate 400 is rotated to make the next jig 401 corresponding to the discharge opening 212 of the accommodating tube 2. The separating apparatus 100 can then operate again from the second step, and repeat the second step to the fifth step until the metal parts 300 are sequentially released to the products carried by the jigs 401 on the index plate 400.

Referring to fig. 9, the second embodiment of the separating device 100 of the present invention is different from the first embodiment in that the first magnetic module 3 is an electromagnet module, the first magnetic module 3' has a first magnetic section 322' disposed outside the accommodating tube 2, and the first magnetic section 322' is used for generating magnetic force by electrifying so as to adsorb and fix the metal member 300 located in the first accommodating area 213. The second magnetic module 4 'is an electromagnet module, and the second magnetic module 4' has a second magnetic section 422 'disposed outside the accommodating tube 2, and the second magnetic section 422' is used for generating magnetic force by electrifying so as to attract and fix the metal member 300 located in the second accommodating area 214.

In summary, by selectively attracting and fixing the first magnetic module 3 and the second magnetic module 4 of the metal member 300, the accommodating tube 2 does not need to be formed with a through hole, and the metal member 300 can be prevented from being caught by the edge of the through hole in the process of sliding in the accommodating tube 2. In addition, the non-contact type absorption fixing method can also avoid the damage or deformation of the metal piece 300. Further, if the metal member 300 is a spring member, the spring member can be prevented from rotating during the fixing process, so as to prevent the plurality of spring members from being entangled with each other. In addition, the first magnetic section 322 and the first magnet 3221, which are long in the vertical direction D1 (the conveying direction), can increase the magnetic holding force and the attraction range, so as to prevent the metal members 300, such as spring members, located in the first receiving area 213 from being entangled with each other due to the vibration generated by the supply device 200 (the vibration separator).

However, the above description is only an example of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should not be limited thereto, and all the simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the contents of the patent specification are still within the scope of the present invention.
