Next, the distribution trough section (5) connected to the downstream side of the above-mentioned collecting trough section (4) will be explained with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.

At the distribution trough part (5), both side wall parts (520531
The flat plate part 54) K has a pair of six oval openings (G) formed between them, and the openings extend radially downstream from the center of the upstream end of the flat plate part C54). extending 1
A zero column distribution track l57) is formed. The cross-sectional shape of the distribution track 6η is shown in FIG. 10, and the height of the trapezoidal side wall portion 6 between these tracks 69 decreases toward the upstream side, and is almost the same at the upstream end of the flat plate portion 54). It becomes zero. Thereby, the distribution of the collecting trough section (4) to the parts concentration section (from the 4th to the 10th row of distribution tracks 57) can be performed clearly and uniformly. Note that the side wall portions 52 of the distribution trough portion (5) are closely joined to the side wall portions 67 of the above-mentioned collecting trough portion (4).

Further, below the collecting trough section (5) and the sending trough section (6) to be described later, a rejected parts receiving section (5al) shown in FIG. 15 is integrally fixed thereto.

Next, the commuting trough section (6) will be explained with reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 11 to 14.

Both side wall parts t601 f+υ in the sending trough part (6)
As shown in FIG. 11, the upstream end of the flat plate part (641) between them is formed with io rows of sorting track links, and the cross-sectional shape of these and the side wall part (641) between them is as follows. , the cross-sectional shapes of the track 6η and the side wall part trowel at the end of the distribution trough part (5) shown in FIG. 10 are the same, and these lights are aligned and connected.

Ten rows of transfer paths (66) are formed in the intermediate portions of the flat plate portions (66) in alignment with the above-mentioned sorting tracks, as shown in FIGS. 1, 12, and 13. These transport routes (
66) is tilted downward to the right as shown in Fig. 12, so that the part m is transferred offset to the side wall portion 16η (not shown for simplicity in Fig. 1). ing.

Along the transfer path (6), a small hole (651) and a large hole (marked 6) are formed in succession to the small hole (651) so as to reduce the width.

As shown in Fig. 12, the small hole (6ω)
The width of the hole 6) becomes slightly smaller than the length in the longitudinal direction of the part 1'om, and the width of the large hole part (4) becomes smaller as shown in Fig. 13.
Therefore, the transfer path becomes slightly smaller than the width of part m, as shown by (6tin).

A plate-shaped cover CIO+ is installed on the downstream side of the transfer trough T.
At the bottom, there is a groove (
Seven wrinkles are formed. At the upstream end of the groove (73 is aligned with the above-mentioned transfer path side), as shown in FIG. Part m is guided so that it falls into an oblong hole (74) shown in FIG.

Next, with full reference to FIG. 15, a description will be given of the rejected parts receiver to which the lower part +C of the transfer trough T is integrally fixed.

Both side walls (74) and (75) of the removed parts receiving mallet are fixed to the upper alignment trough T by screws, and the end wall T'A
T! '6) is in close contact with the bottom of the transfer trough T. A triangular guide portion (77) is integrally formed at the downstream end, and its upper surface is also in close contact with the bottom surface of the commuting trough T. The guide part (7! has a pair of guide surfaces (781 (7!

Between the guide portion (771) and the wall portion tI61, there is a pair of inclined surfaces 6 (83) as shown in FIGS. 11 to 14.
) are formed: (1).These are respectively inclined downward from the center line toward the return troughs (7) (8) and vc.

Next, with full reference to FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, the introduction of parts from the rejected parts receiver into the return troughs (7) and (8) will be explained. Note that this introductory part is for both troughs (7).
Regarding (8), since they have the same configuration, one trough (
Only 8) will be explained.

Guide block (84) whose shape is clearly shown in Figure 17
is integrally fixed to the starting end of the return trough (8).

Its vertical parts (eight upper ends with beveled slopes) are shaped and formed, which are connected with the upper transfer surface (2'D) in the trough (8).

In addition, a horizontal portion (87) extends downward from this slope (, - to the rejected parts receiving part 6→. A gap S is formed between the horizontal part (87) and the rejected parts receiving part C591. However, this size is such that the transfer trough T-j, that is, the six rejected parts receivers and the return trough (8) do not interfere with each other when they vibrate.

The embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, and its operation will be explained next.

In use, first a large number of components m (for example chip capacitors) are loaded into the return trough (7) (8) or onto the collection trough 5 (4). Electromagnet 0 shown in Figure 2 =
1) When alternating current is applied to the coil (E) (211), an alternating attraction force is generated between it and the movable core (221), and this causes the feed trough T to move in the direction of arrow a. The return trough (7) (8) is photographed in the direction of the arrow.
) Part m in (8) is attached to the transfer surface (2) shown in Figure 4.
etzη, and reaches the transfer surface t351 at the terminal end (see, for example, FIG. 19). In this case, the upper transfer surface (2
η and the lower transfer surface C76) are slightly bent with respect to the transfer surface − when viewed from above, but the upper transfer surface (27) and the lower transfer surface C76)
Since there is a step smaller than the thickness of part m between the transfer surface (26), even if parts m try to jam at this boundary, part m will easily escape to the upper transfer surface (2). As a result, part m is always smoothly guided to the transfer surface +351 at the terminal end, passes through the transfer surface (2) that extends from this point to the collecting trough part (4), and reaches the corner of the collecting trough part (4). The parts guide slope (4υ) provided at Fall onto the other component guide slope (4CJ).

As shown in FIG. 6, the transfer surface (36) at the end of the return trough (8) is slightly above the collecting trough (4), so the parts 771 are securely transferred to the part guide slope (4G). Conventionally, a gap (0.2 to 0.3
mm), and the part m was introduced into the starting end of the transfer trough T across this gap, so pieces of the part m, dirt, etc. tend to get clogged in this gap, causing various troubles. It had become. However, according to this embodiment, since the gap S is formed in the vertical direction, the above-mentioned trouble hardly occurs. In addition, with this configuration, for other parts, the transfer trough T and the return trough (7)
(8) The distance between the two can be increased. In the collecting trough part (4), there is a parts guide inclined part (41(
Part m spreads and slides on a transfer surface of 4υ and falls onto the lowest collecting track (44). Part m receives a transfer force in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG. 5 and moves downstream. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, most of the parts m proceed along the step between the lowest collecting track (4) and the pair of middle collecting tracks (431t44), but there is no overlap. Part m is the middle collection truck (4'5 (Foundation)
Move up. The middle collecting track (43 (top collecting track t45 on 441) moves along the step with t461, but the overlapping parts m move to the top collecting track 451 (top 461). Part m is uniformly distributed in part 11L within the collecting toruff part (4).
is dispersed and guided to the parts concentration part (4FJ. Note that when part m is in an overflow state, the 5th
Through the branches (45a, 46a)'e shown in the figure, some parts m are led into the next distribution trough section (5).

As shown in FIG. 8, since the transfer surface of the component concentration section (40) is inclined upward, the transfer speed of the component m is slightly reduced due to this. Furthermore, a uniform distribution of the parts m takes place.

The parts m are introduced from the part concentration part (4g) into the distribution trough part (9), which is clearly shown in FIG. Since the ten rows of distribution tracks 5D extend radially toward the downstream side, the parts m are uniformly distributed to these tracks 6η.

In addition, the branch path (45a) of the upstream collecting trough part (4)
The part m arriving from (46a) falls into the hole 55) 561 and is guided onto the slope of the rejected parts receiving section 69 below.

The parts m move from the distribution track 5η to the grading trough (6). When reaching the ISK, among the parts m arranged in two or three rows on each transfer path, the parts m on the small hole part (6■ side
651, lower removed parts receiving part (slope of 59)
82 (to) 4 on top. In this way, the transfer path (60
Part m advances in a single line above, and when it reaches the large hole (decoy), the transfer path becomes narrower as shown in Fig. 13 (4). The parts m fall into the hole. Eventually, all of the parts m turn their longitudinal directions toward the transport direction and reach the upstream edge of the lid +7cj. The overlapping parts m are now guided by the notch aυ. As a result, the parts m are introduced into each groove (7 (to)) shown in FIG. Each piece is supplied to the process in 10 rows.

On the other hand, the parts that fell from the hole C551 (to) of the distribution trough part (5) and the hole (651f681 (73) of the 2nd part of the sorting trough (6) are removed from the rejected parts receiving part (Tanouchi slope) shown in Fig. 15. The IJ Soge completely slides down, and is transferred in the directions of arrows C and d along both side walls (74) (751) under the transfer force caused by the vibration.

As shown in Fig. 16 and Fig. So,
Passing through the slope of the guide block, the part m is introduced onto the transfer surface (261) in the troughs (7) and (8).

In this case, conventionally there was a gap in the horizontal direction between the rejected parts receiving part (5) and the return trough (7) (8).
Part 1rL passes through this gap into the return trough (7) (
8), and for this reason, this gap is very small, and various troubles occur when pieces of part m or dust become clogged. However, according to this embodiment, the guide block (Incorporated) is fixed to the entire foot and the gap S is formed in the vertical direction, so the above-mentioned troubles can be prevented. Furthermore, since there is no need for the component m to cross the gap, the size of the vertical gap S can be made larger than in the past. Parts tnB return trough (7) (8
) is transferred on the transfer surface 1261 (5) and reaches the terminal end, and the above-mentioned action is repeated.

As described above, all of the parts m in this feeding machine are finally arranged and fed to the next process, but in some cases, for example, to change the type of parts, all the parts m are transferred from this feeding machine to the outside. There may be cases where you want to discharge it. In such a case, in this embodiment, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 19, the screw (T) is loosened and the guide block ct'! Rotate J to the position where the transfer surface (to) side is closed. That is,
Rotate the tip (32a) to a position where it comes into contact with the side wall (c), and tighten the screw in this position. In addition, the transfer surface 651 connected to the Niji trough (7) (transfer surface t261 t27 in 81) communicates with the outside, and all parts m in the trough (71 (8)) are discharged to the outside. In this way, in this embodiment, the component m can be automatically discharged from the feeder to the outside. Conventionally, the drive was stopped and the component was manually discharged, so Work efficiency can be improved.

The m-product M has a square-shaped body, with a first electrode P1 on one side of the body Q, and second and third electrodes (200) on the other side. This embodiment is applied to feeding in the direction shown by the arrow e in the illustrated attitude, and the vibrating parts feeder equipped with this alignment device is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 1983-1975, which was previously filed by the present applicant. 127839.The present embodiment is an improvement of such a vibrating parts feeder, and a detailed explanation of the sorting device will be omitted here.

In Figures 20 and 21, the return tran (100)
and the sorting trough (101) are arranged close to each other in parallel, and the sorting trough (101) is integrally connected with the sorting parts supply trough (102), which is connected to the sorting trough (101). A groove (103) is formed to completely control the posture of the parts to be transported.

As shown in FIG. 21, a plate spring mounting block (104) is fixed to the bottom of the return trough (104), and this is connected to the lower base ('to6) by a pair of front and rear plate springs (107). . The top surface of the base (106) has an electromagnet (
uO) is fixed, and a movable core (t
il) is internally determined on the plate mounting block (104).

On the other hand, a similar leaf spring mounting block (105) is fixed to the bottom of the transfer trough (101), and is connected to the above-mentioned common base (106) by a pair of front and rear leaf springs (1os). A KU electromagnet (112) is fixed to the upper surface of the base (106), and a movable core (113) is fixed to the plate mounting block (105) so as to face it. A common base (106) is supported on the installation stand by a vibration isolating rubber (109). In the above configuration, an electromagnet (1
10Xl12), the return trough (100) vibrates in the direction shown by arrow C, and the transfer trough (lol) vibrates in the direction shown by arrow d. This results in a return trough (1
The parts in the transfer trough (101) are transferred to the right in the figure, and the parts in the transfer trough (101) are transferred to the left.

The return trough (100) and the transfer trough (ioi) each have a side wall portion (1I7X121) only on the outside,
A notch (118) is formed in the right end of the side wall (117) of the return trough (100), and a guide block (n4) according to the present invention is attached to this by a guide block (n5). The return trough (ioo) has an upwardly inclined transfer surface (116) 'fc, as clearly shown in FIG.
Its terminal end is a horizontal surface (119). Transfer surface (

The transfer surface of the commuting trough (101) is the same as the transfer surface (119) at the terminal end of the return trough (100) at the starting end (120).
) and the reeds are on the same level, horizontal in the direction of transport, but slanted slightly downward towards the outside.

The starting end of the side wall portion (121) is curved in an arc shape as shown in FIG. 20, and forms a guide wall (120a). Parts from the return trough (100) are attached to this guide wall (
x20a) and is transported to the left. Side wall (
121), a long and narrow feeding path is formed at the same level as the starting end (120), and various feeding means (121) are formed along this path.
22) is provided. The details of these means (122) are explained in Japanese Patent Application No. 57-127839, but the explanation will be omitted here as they are not particularly relevant to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 22, the transfer trough (101) is provided with a trough (124) k that is lower than the transfer path provided with various transfer means (122) i.

The trough (124) is horizontal in the direction of transport, but slopes slightly downward towards the outside. Return trough (i
oo) The above-mentioned transfer surface (116) is also slightly downwardly inclined towards the outside. Therefore, part M is on the transfer surface (n6)
And in the trough (124), it progresses toward the outside. As shown in FIG. 22, the terminal end of the valley (124) is higher than the starting end of the transfer surface (116) of the return trough (ioo), and extends from the valley (124') along the guide wall (125). Part M is smoothly guided to the starting end of the return trough (100). The end of the side wall (121) of the transfer trough (10t) is a curved wall (121a), and along this curved transport path (
123) 'i is forming a shadow. This curved transport path (1

When using it, first a large number of parts M are placed in a trough (100) (
ioz). When the electromagnet (110Xl12) is energized, the trough (100XIOI) will turn to arrow C.
The parts M in the troughs (100) and (101) are moved to the right and to the left, respectively. In the return trough (ioo), the part M rises on the transfer surface (116), and when it reaches the horizontal surface (n9) at the terminal end, it moves along the guide surface (u4a) of the guide block (114) to the transfer trough (101). ) to the starting end (120). Among the large number of parts M, the parts M guided onto the transport path are subjected to a transport action by various transport means (122), and only the parts M in a predetermined posture reach the curved transport path (123). All parts M that are not in the predetermined posture fall into the valley (124). These parts M and the parts M that have fallen from the starting end (120) are transferred to the left and guided to the starting end of the return trough (100) again. On the other hand, the sorted parts M are transferred from the curved transfer path (123) to the groove (
103), and while maintaining a predetermined posture, is supplied to the next process one by one.

Suppose now that you want to switch to a part of a similar shape but of a different type. In this case, part M in the trough (100XIOI)
In this case, in this embodiment, the mounting screw (115) and the fully loosened guide block (114) are rotated to the position shown by the dashed line in Fig. 20, and the mounting screw is removed in this position. (u5) Tighten 5 to secure the guide block (lt4) f.

When the part M that has risen on the transfer surface (116) i in the return trough (100) reaches the horizontal surface (119) at the terminal end, it is guided by the arm part (4i4b) of the guide block (114) and is guided to the outside. be discharged. Note that, although not shown in the drawings, the parts M may be received in some kind of container.

As described above, the parts M in the troughs (100) (101) can be automatically and completely removed to the outside.

Conventionally, the drive of the trough (ioo The work was very tedious.

However, in this embodiment, it is automatically discharged to the outside, so
Overall work efficiency can be improved. This effect is particularly significant when it is desired to change the type of parts for a large number of supply machines at the same time.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is of course not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.

For example, the present invention is not limited to the parts feeding means shown in the drawings, and can be applied to linear parts feeders equipped with various parts feeding means.

Further, the shape of the gate means is not limited to the shape of the guide block (33 (u4)) of the first and second embodiments, and various shapes can be applied.
