[Means for solving problems]

The above object is to provide a vibratory parts feeder which applies screw vibration to a dish-shaped or bowl-shaped parts receiver and transfers the parts to a spiral track formed inside the parts receiver. A radial protrusion is integrally formed over the entire outer circumference of the component receiver, or over the entire length ν, or
This is achieved by a component receiver which is fixed together and is characterized in that the radial projections are fitted with the necessary means for aligning the components or are cut.

[For production]

Are means and cutting operations for aligning and feeding a given part attached to the radial protrusion?

It will be done. There is almost no need to perform any processing on the component receiver body.

The means and cutting process for aligning and supplying parts with a shape different from the above-mentioned predetermined parts is to remove the above-mentioned means and attach a new means to the radial protrusion using the same attachment means at the same location. The new means may also be attached at other points on the radial projection (which extends over the entire or substantially entire circumference of the component receptacle). The cut portion may be used in common, or may be newly cut at another location.

This method does not require making cuts in the outer peripheral wall of the parts receiver or processing the tracks as in the past.

Since the radial protrusion is machined and installed, nine operations are easy to perform.

〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A vibrating parts feeder according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

In the figure, the vibrating parts feeder is indicated as (1) as a whole, and a well-known spiral track (4) is formed inside a bowl-shaped ball (2). The outer circumferential wall (3) of the ball (2) is integrally formed with a thick radial protrusion (5) in the shape of seven flange over the entire area. In two of these embodiments, the notch α is formed in the radial protrusion (5), but the radial protrusion (5) is formed in an annular shape throughout the entire body without forming this. Good too.

A movable core (6) is fixed to the bottom of the ball (2) as described above with a bolt (7). The structure of the vibration drive section is the same as the conventional example shown in FIG.

Corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

The radial protrusion (5) has two parts m applied to this embodiment.
The track (4) inside the ball (2) has been processed to attach various means necessary for alignment.
A groove (to) is formed extending approximately 100 degrees counterclockwise from a position corresponding to the discharge end (4a) of ). A connecting trough (6) is connected to the discharge end (4a) of the track (4), and is fixed to the side wall αη (generated by the formation of the groove) and the outer peripheral wall step 4 by screws (G) Qυ. be done. The transfer position of the contact top (4) is flat and the ball (
2) is aligned with the discharge end (4a) of the track (4) within.

The downstream end of the communication trough (4) extends in an arc shape, and an arc-shaped transfer path forming plate (60) is formed to match this.
is applied to the side wall α force over approximately ioo degrees counterclockwise with each alignment means described later and the screw c! It is fixed by 31 starch.

A wiper plate is fixed to the upstream end of the transfer path forming plate hα by screws in alignment with the connecting trough.

9. An arc-shaped notch is formed on the bottom surface of the wiper plate ■. The height between this and the transfer path forming plate (60) is greater than the height of the parts m to be aligned.

A small gap is formed when this value is multiplied by υ. Therefore.

Part m passes through this \ to remove the overlap and form a single layer. The upstream end of the wiper plate Qz has a taper (241
is formed to guide the overlapping parts laterally.

A sorting plate 5, which is also arc-shaped, is connected to the wiper plate and fixed to the side wall portion (17) by screws.

As clearly shown in FIG. 2, an arc-shaped notch (25a) is also formed on the lower surface of this sorting plate (2), and between this and the transfer path forming plate, the leg t (1! pole) of the part m is formed. A gap slightly larger than the thickness is formed. Further, slits (2) are formed at equal pitches on the inner peripheral edge of the two sorting plates. A notch (60a) is formed at a position corresponding to the slit surface of the transfer path forming plate (6ol sorting plate Q51. The transfer path forming plate (60) is further provided with a cutout). As shown in the figure, a notch (6ob) is formed over which the body of one part m is transferred. The inner edge Q81 of the sorting part foundation is aligned with the inner edge of the notch (60b).

The sorting plate has a posture holding transfer section (two dissections) connected in series.

It is fixed to the end (5++) of the radial projection (5). As shown in FIG.
5) is fixed to the end (5a). A groove (34 m) is formed in the lower flat plate to receive the body of part m, and a groove (34 m) is formed in the upper flat plate C35+ to receive the upper part and leg tf of the body of part m. A groove (35a) is formed. As a result, the part m is transferred to this posture holding transfer section (29
When passing through, the object remains in the same position and is transported by vibration.

As mentioned above, the groove (c) extends counterclockwise for about 100 degrees, and the downstream end thereof is attached to the side wall (9) of the ball (2) as shown in FIG. It is connected to the inside of the ball (2) via the formed through hole C31J.

The vibrating parts feeder (1) according to the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, and its operation, effects, etc. will be explained first.

In the figure, although only sporadically shown in the ball (2), a large number of parts m() (transistors) are inserted. When the coil (9) is energized with alternating current, the ball (2)
performs torsional vibration and the nine parts m are transported along the track (4). It is guided from the end (4a) of the track (4) into the connecting trough □□□, and from here the wiper plate (22
1 is supplied downward. Here, the overlapping parts m are removed radially inward. These parts m are notches (60a)
It passes through and falls into the groove (G). Among the parts m guided below the wiper plate Q21 in a single layer (251), the side surface of the one with only one leg t attached to the right side is positioned toward the downstream side. When the one leg l of the part m is fitted into the slit c, the two parts m rotate around the transfer path edge P shown in FIG. 4 and fall into the groove αG. On the other hand, facing downstream, right 1H
Even if one of the legs t is directly below the slit 〇, the part m whose side surface is where the two legs t are attached to 11 is located,
Since the other leg t is pressed against the bottom surface (33a) of the sorting plate +251, the one leg t does not fit into the slit surface and is pressed against the bottom surface of the sorting plate (251). As shown in Fig. 4, the part m is transferred to the downstream side while supporting the leg part t.Only the part m in this attitude is guided into the attitude-maintaining transfer section, and thereafter, as shown in Fig. 5, the part m is transferred to the downstream side. The part m is transported while maintaining its posture, and is then supplied to the next external process.

In this embodiment, as described above, a predetermined part m is fed to the next process with a predetermined attitude. However, when two parts having different shapes from parts m are fed in a predetermined attitude, , of the wiper plate n2 sorting plate.

Remove the posture holding transfer part (to) and replace it with this.

The necessary means for aligning and feeding the next part are fixed on the radial projection (5). In addition, the radial protrusion (5)
Since it extends over the entire area of the outer peripheral wall of the ball (2), it can take up sufficient space even when the number and size of each alignment means are further increased.

There is no need to replace this ball (2) with another ball.

Although the two embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is of course not limited thereto, and various hand shapes are possible based on the technical idea of the present invention.

For example, in two or more embodiments, the radial protrusion (5) is provided at a level p lower than the outer peripheral wall (3) of the ball (2).

Alternatively, it may be provided at a higher level.

Furthermore, in one or more of the embodiments, the parts sorting means such as a sorting plate is guided through the connecting trough head, but it is also possible to guide the parts directly to other parts sorting means without using this. It's okay.

Furthermore, in the above embodiments, a so-called bowl-shaped ball was described, but the present invention may also be applied to a dish-shaped ball.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the parts receiver in the vibrating parts feeder of the present invention, for aligning and feeding parts of various shapes, it is only necessary to replace the required feeding means at the radial protrusion, so it can be commonly used, It can improve versatility.
