The utility model discloses a screw collating unit locates between the automation equipment in screw automatic feed machine 30 and low reaches for the level of screw automatic feed machine 30 output converts the form of vertical to arranging to the screw 20 of arranging, thereby supplies with the automation equipment in low reaches, realizes workshop production demand.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the screw arrangement apparatus includes: a device main body 10; wherein, the inside of device main part 10 is seted up along the feed chute 11 of horizontal direction extension, and the one end of feed chute 11 is the open end for receive the screw 20 of the horizontal direction range of coming from screw automatic feed machine 30 output, the screw 20 of horizontal direction range is sent into the feed chute 11 through the conveyer of screw automatic feed machine 30 constantly, and is done the motion of horizontal direction along feed chute 11. Meanwhile, a steering groove 12 is formed in the device main body 10, and one side of the steering groove 12 is communicated with the feeding groove 11 and is used for receiving a horizontal screw 20; the other side of the turning chute 12 extends obliquely downward so that a slope structure 13 is formed inside the apparatus body 10, and the slope direction of the slope structure 13 faces the open end of the feed chute 11 for converting the screw 20 conveyed horizontally into vertical conveying. The inside of device main part 10 still is seted up along the feed chute 14 that extends of vertical direction, and the top of feed chute 14 communicates in the bottom of turning to groove 12, and the bottom of feed chute 14 link up in the bottom of device main part 10 for the unloading output of screw 20 after the conversion.

The screws 20 continuously fed out by the automatic screw feeder 30 are horizontally arranged, and the horizontally arranged screws 20 first enter the feed chute 11 of the apparatus body 10, and are sequentially moved horizontally and linearly by the force between the workpieces to enter the conversion chute. Because the slope structure 13 is arranged in the conversion groove, the thread part of the screw 20 is firstly limited by the slope structure 13 and is abutted against the slope structure 13; the screw cap part continues to move forwards due to inertia until naturally toppling over the slope structure 13, so that the screw 20 is inclined and slides downwards along the slope structure 13, finally enters the vertical blanking slot 14, is sent out in the vertical direction and is butted with downstream automatic equipment. Since the center of gravity of the screw 20 is located at the nut portion, if the arrangement device has no slope structure 13, there is a high probability that the nut portion will fall first during the conveying process, so that the head of the screw 20 will slide down, which causes a bad reverse direction and cannot ensure the feeding direction of the screw 20.

Therefore, the utility model discloses a convert the level to the screw 20 of arranging perpendicularly to arranging, realized the conversion to the direction of feed of screw 20, and the direction of feed can guarantee throughout stably to satisfy the production demand, promoted production efficiency.
