Description

SPECIFICATION PARTS SUPPLY DEVICE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to a parts supply device for feeding parts contained in a hopper to a parts discharge pipe.
2. Prior Art: A conventional parts supply device comprises a hopper containing parts therein in bulk and having a funnelshaped inclination at a bottom thereof which bottom has a through hole in the central lowest portion thereof and a parts discharge pipe having an upper end which is cut aslant and vertically slidably inserted into the through hole at the upper end thereof. The hopper can be vertically receiprocally moved by a driving mechanism, thereby moving the upper end of the parts discharge pipe vertically receiprocally relative thereto. When the upper end of the parts discharge pipe is raised upward from the bottom of the hopper, the parts in the hopper are collapsed and when the upper end of the parts discharge pipe is lowered, the parts enter the opening of the parts discharge pipe one by one.The parts thus entered the parts discharge pipe are arranged in a row and fall owing to their own gravity.
The parts discharge pipe has a lower end provided with an escapement through which parts are taken out one by one and carried toward parts carrier passages.
In the conventional parts supply device, the parts are liable to gather in the central portion of the bottom of the hopper into which the parts discharge pipe is inserted. As a result, the parts are difficult to move and liable to clog in the hopper which renders the parts difficult to enter the parts discharge pipe.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to solve the problem of the conventional parts supply device and to provide a parts supply device capable of smoothly supplying parts therefrom.
To achieve the above object, the parts supply device of the present invention comprises a hopper containing parts therein in bulk and having a bottom surface which is inclined in a funnel-shape, a parts discharge pipe inserted into the hopper through the bottom of the hopper and vertically movable relative to the hopper and a partition provided over the parts discharge pipe for partitioning the inside of the hopper.
According to the parts supply device of the present invention, since the hopper is partitioned in part inside thereof, the load of the parts contained in the hopper is received by the partition so that the load of the parts on the partition is not applied to the parts under the partion. As a result, even if there are many parts at the portion adjacent to the bottom of the hopper 1, the number of the parts are small or none just under the partion.
The parts discharge pipe moves receiprocally and and vertically relative to the hopper accompanied with the reciprocal and vertical movement of the hopper so that the upper end of the discharge pipe moves up and down between the portion just under the partition where there are small number of parts and the portion adjacent to the bottom of the hopper where there are many parts. When the upper end of the parts discharge pipe is passed through a layer of the parts and lowered thereafter, the parts around the upper end of the parts discharge pipe are drawn into an opening defined in the upper end of the parts discharge pipe and enter the parts discharge pipe.
Inasmuch as the parts enter the parts discharge pipe at the portion where the parts are movable with ease, the parts can be smoothly fed into the parts discharge pipe.

The partition 4 is pivotally mounted on an interior wall surface of the hopper 1 and swingable about a central portion thereof. Accordingly, the partition 4 swings about the fulcrum 5 and both ends thereof swing in the leftward and the rightward as illustrated in Fig. 4. The partition 4 is preferable to be formed of an elastic material.
The container having the structure as illustrated in Fig. 4 is incorporated in the parts supply device in the manner that both sides of the hopper 1 are engaged in the base member 38 of the parts supply device at both the ends of the opening and the cover 3 covering the opening 2 is removed.
Third Embodiment (Fig. 6): A parts supply device in a third embodiment has partitions 4a and 4b disposed in the central portion of the hopper 1. The partitions 4a and 4b are elastic and paired in the inverse L-shapes, and staggered in the vertical relation and fixed to the interior wall surface of the hopper 1 at both the right-angled portions thereof, i.e. the central portions of the inverse L-shapes.
Accordingly, the partitions 4a and 4b are bent against the elasticity thereof so that both the ends thereof swing as illustrated by the arrows.
Fourth Embodiment (Figs. 7 and 8): A parts supply device according to a fourth embodiment has the hopper 1 provided with the bottom which is inclined from one corner to the other corner and the parts discharge pipe 49 which is inserted into the other corner of the bottom.
In the fourth embodiment as illustrated in Fig. 7, the L-shaped partition 4 is extended from the inner surface of the hopper 1 and positioned over the parts discharge pipe 49. The partition 4 is elastic and fixed to the inner surface of the hopper 1 at one end thereof.
Accordingly, the partition 4 is bent as shown in twodotted chain lines in Fig. 7 and swings at the other end thereof as illustrated by the arrow.
In the fifth embodiment as illustrated in Fig. 8, the partition 4 is extended longitudinally from the upper end surface of the hopper 1 so as to partition the hopper 1 into one side and another side. The partition 4 is also elastic and fixed to the hopper 1 at the one end thereof.
Accordingly, the partition 4 is bent as shown in twodotted chain lines in Fig. 8 and swings at the other end thereof as illustrated by the arrow. According to the fifth embodiment, the parts a, a ... are previously introduced in the chamber having no parts discharge pipe 49 therein or scarcely introduced in the chamber having the parts discharge pipe 49 therein.
In the parts supply device according to the fourth and fifth embodiments, the parts discharge pipe 49 is in general cut aslant at the upper end thereof. If a cylindrical projection 21 is protruded from the upper edge of the parts discharge pipe 49, the parts a, a ... are liable to be discharged smoothly. An inner side of the projection 21 extending to an inner circumferential surface of the parts discharge pipe 49 is preferable to be shaped as flat as possible.
First and Second Modifications (Figs. 9(a) to 10(b)): The inner surface of the projection 21 is of a cylindrical surface in Fig. 9, but appears of flat surface. On the other hand, the second modification shows that the projection 21 is formed flat and the inner surface 22 is completely flat. It is preferable that edges of the projection 21 is round and width of the projection 21 is substantially same as an inner diameter of the parts discharge pipe 49 and length of the projection 21 is at least half of the length of the part a.
