The component storage stand 200 is installed in the upper surface of the base frame 100 in a substantially box shape to accommodate the cylindrical component C, and its bottom surface 210 is the component sorting stand 300. It is formed to be inclined to approximately 30 degrees toward.

Therefore, when the component (C) is accommodated in the component storage rack 200, most of the components (C) is slipped or rolled toward the component sorter 300 to stop.

The component sorter 300 is a plate member having a substantially 'b' shape, and inverts a plurality of parts C supplied from the component storage stand 200 several times by about 90 ° so that a specific direction, preferably a cylindrical part, may roll. Align them in the direction you want them.

To this end, the component alignment stage 300 is formed in a substantially 'b' shape, as shown in Figure 2, toward the component storage 200 is a certain angle (θ1), preferably of about 1 ~ 15 ° It is installed inclined at an angle.

Accordingly, the parts C rolled into the parts sorter 300, that is, the parts in the "C direction" to be described later, are rolled off to the parts storage rack 200 again, and only the parts sorted other than the parts are sorted. Stay above 300.

Here, the directions of the components (C) to be present in the component sorting table 300 will be defined in advance for better understanding.

For example, an arrangement arranged to roll in the longitudinal direction of the component alignment table 300 is referred to as "A direction", and an arrangement arranged in a rolled form that cannot be rolled is referred to as "B direction", What is arranged to be able to roll in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, that is, the direction toward the component storage stand 200 will be defined as "C direction".

The ring bush 330 is integrally fixed to the outside of the bent portion of the component alignment table 300, and the rotation shaft 340 is inserted into the bush 330.

At this time, the rotating shaft 340 is formed to be inclined at a predetermined angle (θ2) toward the guider 600 spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the component alignment stand 300 on the upper side of the component storage rack 200, will be described later It is preferably supported to be idled by supports (not shown) connected to both sides of the sealing plate 410. In addition, the bush 330 may be directly fixed to the sealing plate 410 and a part of the rotation shaft 340 may be inserted into the bush 330 and rotated while being fixed to the parts sorter 300. Of course.

Here, the constant angle θ2 is preferably about 1 to 15 degrees.

In addition, the outer side of the bent surface of the component alignment table 300 is linked with the front end of the rotary cylinder rod 510 by at least two link members (350a, 350b), the rotary cylinder rod 510 is a rotary cylinder (500) )

Therefore, the component alignment stage 300 may be reversed while being rotated about 90 ° about the rotation shaft 340 by the lifting and lowering of the rotation cylinder 500, and the rotation cylinder rod 510 may be inverted accordingly. The stroke is set.

In addition, a protective cover support 310 and a protective cover 320 may be provided on the outside of the component alignment table 300 as a means for preventing the component C from being separated.

The protective cover support 310 is installed on the upper end of the base frame 100, the protective cover 320 is fixed vertically to the upper end of the protective cover support 310 to the upper surface of the component alignment table 300 It is a means of covering.

The lifting cylinder 400 is firmly fixed to the base frame 100 by the holder 420, and the operation rod 430 connected to the lifting cylinder 400 is fitted to the rod fixing tool 440 to close the sealing plate 410. It is fixed integrally with).

That is, the sealing plate 410 seals the downward space between the component storage stand 200 and the component sorter 300 when the component sorter 300 is raised so that the component C does not fall to the floor. As a means of preventing the plate-like member, the upper end is disposed to be caught by the inclined rotary shaft 340 of the component alignment table (300).

In addition, the rod fixing tool 440 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and is installed and fixed in the vertical direction in the center of the width of the sealing plate 410, the operating rod 430 is inserted therein to be fixed to the operating rod 430 At the same time, the rod fixing tool 440 and the sealing plate 410 are raised at the same time to push up the rotating shaft 340 of the component alignment stand 300 to raise the component alignment stand 300 to a certain height, that is, the operation. It is raised to the stroke range of the rod 430.

In this case, the operation rod 430 is not necessarily fixed to the sealing plate 410 through the rod fixing tool 440, it may be directly fixed or may be fixed through other members or fixing means.

As described above, the rotation cylinder 500 includes a rotation cylinder rod 510 and is connected to a plurality of link members 350a and 350b to invert the component alignment table 300 by 90 °.

And, the rotary cylinder 500 is preferably fixed to the closing plate 410 is configured to rise and fall with it.

The operation relationship of the present invention having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

First, when a cylindrical component C, such as an EYE for shock absorber, is loaded into the component storage compartment 200, the component C is slid by the inclination of the bottom surface 210 of the component storage compartment 200. While lowering, some are accommodated in the component sorter 300, and the rest stays on the component holder 200 in an unaligned state.

At this time, a plurality of parts (C) arranged in at least the A direction, B direction, C direction is interspersed on the upper surface of the component alignment table (300).

In addition, when the component C is accommodated, the lifting cylinder 400 is not operated, that is, the operating rod 430 is lowered, and thus the component alignment table 300 is a component as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. It is in a state positioned lower than the bottom surface 210 of the storage 200.

Subsequently, the parts C interspersed in the parts sorting stand 300 are arranged, and for convenience of description, the parts C will be schematically described as illustrated in FIG. 5.

For the alignment operation, when the lifting cylinder 400 is operated to raise the operating rod 430, the rod fixture 440 connected with the operating rod 430 is also raised together, and the rod fitting 440 is The sealing plate 410 fixed integrally is also raised.

As the sealing plate 410 is raised, the rotating shaft 340 which is in contact with the plate is pushed up so that the component alignment table 300 is also raised.

At the same time, the sealing plate 410 seals the space generated between the component storage stand 200 due to the rise of the component sorting stand 300 so that the components C waiting to be stored in the component storage stand 200 are stored. It is prevented from falling to the floor through the space.

In addition, the parts arranged in the C direction among the parts (C) interspersed in the parts sorting stand 300 when the parts sorting stand 300 is raised and higher than the parts storage rack 200, the parts sorting stand ( It is automatically rolled back to the component storage rack 200 by the bottom slope (1 ~ 15 °) of 300, and eventually only the components (C) aligned in the A direction and B direction on the component sorter 300 Will remain.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a total of seven parts, four parts aligned in the B direction (a, b, he, he), and three parts aligned in the A direction (c, d, a) are left. Since the roll is taken out to the guider 600 only in the A direction, the part "C, la, bar" is caught in the part "B, E" so that it does not roll and maintains the staying state.

In this state, when the ascending of the component alignment stage 300 is completed, the rotary cylinder 500 is operated to advance the rotary cylinder rod 510 to rotate the bottom surface of the component alignment stage 300 by 90 °. . This is expressed as "first right turn" in FIG. 5, whereby the component "a, na" is changed to the A-direction arrangement by being rotated 90 ° in the B-direction arrangement and immediately rolled out to the guider 600. Only five parts (C) of the "d, d, d, d, bar, four" remain in the component sorter 300.

Subsequently, when the rotation cylinder 500 is operated again to return the rotation cylinder rod 510 to its original state (expressed as “first return” in FIG. 5), the parts “D, D” are arranged in the A direction. Since they are taken out, only three components "ma, bar, sa" is left in the component sorter 200.

By repeating this process over and over again, all the parts "e, bar, yarn" are taken out, and the taken out parts are moved along the guider 600 to maintain all aligned in the A direction.

When the alignment is completed, the component sorting stand 300 returns to the initial position and repeats the above-described process many times to easily and easily align all the cylindrical parts C accommodated in the component storage stand 200 in a specific direction. It becomes possible.

As described in detail above, the present invention can automatically align the cylindrical parts on both sides or one side open in one direction, so that it can be unmanned, reducing work time and workforce, thereby improving productivity and reducing manufacturing costs. Provide effect.
