Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a multi-row sorting and feeding device for chip-shaped parts.

In general, a multi-row sorting device for chip-shaped parts (hereinafter referred to as parts) is a linear vibrator connected to a box-shaped hopper for square, disc-shaped, cylindrical, round bar-shaped parts, etc. as shown in Figure 1. This is a mechanism that applies vibration to align parts in multiple rows in a fixed direction within a box-shaped hopper, and positions them at predetermined intervals at the exit of the groove in which the parts are transferred.

Conventionally, this type of multi-row sorting device for parts has a groove part 3 for transferring parts matching the external width dimension of parts A to be sorted onto the upper surface of the bottom part 2 of a box-shaped hopper 1, as shown in FIG. A plurality of rows are provided at predetermined intervals, and a linear vibrator 4 directly connected to the bottom of the box-shaped hopper 1 applies linear vibration in the direction shown by the arrow to move the parts A stored on the bottom surface 2 facing each direction. This device sequentially feeds the part A into the groove 3 and continuously transports the part A to the outlet of the groove 3, that is, to the take-out part 3a of the part A, and positions the part A with a positioning stopper 5.

Here, the upper part of the groove part 3 is covered with a holding lid 6 for the parts A except for the take-out part 3a so that two or more parts A do not overlap vertically.

In such a conventional device, the parts A stored in the bottom part 2 of the box-shaped hopper 1 facing each direction are transferred to the entrance of the groove part 3 by the linear vibration force of the linear vibrator 4. As shown in the figure, the parts A are in close contact with each other throughout the vicinity of the entrance of the groove 3 and vibrate by interfering with each other, so that the movement of the individual parts A by the linear vibrator 4 is weakened.

As a result, there is a disadvantage that the parts tend to stagnate near the entrance of the groove 3 and are not easily transferred into the groove 3.

An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-row sorting and feeding device for chip-like components that eliminates the drawbacks of such conventional devices.

According to the present invention, there is a box-shaped hopper consisting of a phase part with an open top and a plurality of rows of grooves connected on the same plane as the bottom of the phase part, and a linear vibration connected to the bottom of the box-shaped hopper. In a multi-row sorting device for chip-like parts that sequentially feeds and continuously transfers parts stored in joints facing each direction by a machine into a groove, a rod-shaped part rotatable at right angles to the groove is mounted on the joint near the entrance of the groove. A multi-row chip-like component characterized by having a rotary body, a pair of flexible protruding plates consisting of a strip plate having an uneven portion at the tip, which is planted parallel to the long axis of rotation, and a linear strip plate. A sorting device is obtained.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

First, as shown in Fig. 4, the structure of this device is that both ends of a rod-shaped shaft are supported in the upper part of the conventional device in front of the entrance of the groove 3 in a direction perpendicular to the groove 3 and parallel to the bottom surface, and one end a rotating body 8 connected to a rotating motor 7;
It is equipped with a pair of (flexible) rubber band plates 9a and 9b which are clamped and fixed in opposite directions parallel to the long axis of the plate.

Here, the band-shaped rubber plate 9a has a groove 3 at one end at equal intervals,
Moreover, it has a recessed notch whose width is somewhat longer than the length of the component, and one end of the band-shaped rubber plate 9b is not notched, that is, it is straight.

Next, a description will be given of the sorting operation of the part A by the device of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, parts A stored on the bottom surface 2 of the box-shaped hopper 1 are moved into the groove 3 by the linear vibration force of the linear vibrator 4.
By continuously rotating the pair of band-shaped rubber plates 9a and 9b held by the rotating body 8 clockwise as shown by the arrows until the sun sets, the parts are stopped over the entire area near the entrance of each groove 3. First, A is periodically removed by the band-shaped rubber plate 9a, leaving only the vicinity of the entrance of the groove 3, as shown in the plan view of FIG.

Therefore, the part A near the entrance of the groove 3 which has the above-mentioned defect.
The component A is sent into the groove 3 by weakening the mutual interference between them and strengthening the movement of the component A by the linear vibrator 4.

Nevertheless, all parts A, including the part A that is stationary at the entrance of the groove 3, are removed rearward from the entrance of the groove 3 using the band-shaped rubber plate 9b as shown in the plan view of FIG. .

The above operation is then repeated. As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the stagnation of parts at the entrance of the groove, which occurs in conventional devices.

Therefore, the ability to sort parts can be significantly improved compared to the conventional device, and there is an advantage that the conventional device can be simply modified.
