Description

Eyelet alignment device {EYELET ARRANGING APPARATUS}

The disclosed content relates to an eyelet alignment device that aligns and secures eyelets to a conveyor belt for painting, etc.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the matters described in this identification are not prior art to the claims of this application, and are not admitted to be prior art by virtue of being described in this identification.

Recently, there are many cases where eyelets are applied to small items such as clothing or bags to finish the holes. Accessories such as clothing and bags have a great advantage in that they can secure a specific part by passing a string through the inside of the eyelet, or you can add a fashion point just through the eyelet even if you do not necessarily pass the string through.

However, since the eyelet requires painting only on the surface exposed to the outside, it is necessary to align the eyelet before painting in order to paint the desired part of the eyelet.

Accordingly, various types of alignment devices are being proposed.

As an example of a general alignment device, Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1582509 (registered on December 29, 2015) includes a printed circuit board with a transport means driven by external power and a plurality of surface-mounted components of the same shape mounted in parallel. A carrier jig arranged at regular intervals and transported in one direction by the transport means, a guide plate spaced from the upper surface of the transport means and guiding the one-directional transport of the carrier jig, and an angle at the bottom of the guide plate It includes an alignment block that sequentially aligns surface mount components mounted on each printed circuit board of a carrier jig that is coupled to a position opposite to the printed circuit board and enters and transfers to the guide plate, wherein the carrier jig has an upper surface thereof. It includes at least one guide groove configured in parallel with the transport direction of the carrier jig, and the guide plate includes a guide block coupled to the bottom surface opposite to the guide groove to press the guide groove. An apparatus for aligning surface mount components is disclosed.

However, the above-mentioned alignment device had the problem of being able to align parts in the width direction but not in the length direction.

As an example of an alignment device that can be aligned in both the longitudinal and width directions, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0065130 (published on June 18, 2018) includes a rotating body that rotates by driving a motor, and the rotating body. A rectangular central axis that moves in a certain range by rotational movement, a bad vibrating unit that moves linearly and vibrates in a straight line by the movement of the central axis, and a guide that acts as a guide in linear motion according to the bad vibration of the bad vibrating unit. A device for automatically aligning and preventing separation of micro-components is disclosed, which is configured to perform longitudinal vibration by providing a unit, and is configured to perform longitudinal and lateral vibration simultaneously by providing a cam on one side of the central axis.

In addition, Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2006-0112204 (published on October 31, 2006) discloses a longitudinal vibration component aligner having an electric drive motor, a camshaft, and a pair of cylindrical operating surfaces parallel to the camshaft. A fixed table on which a vibration generator consisting of an eccentric cam is placed and a oscillating mechanism is fixed on one side, an elastically stretchable suspension support fixed to the fixed table at the top and bottom, a vibration table at the top of the table, and a weight placed at the bottom to prevent resonance. The tables are installed parallel to each other. A link in which the central axes of each eccentric cam are offset by an equal distance from each other in the radial direction with respect to the rotational central axis of the cam shaft, and each end has a journal bearing supporting the eccentric cam at one end and the pins of each table at the other end. Disclosed is a fixed vertical oscillation component aligner in which each link member is connected by members and one link member extends through the fixed table.

However, the conventional alignment device that generates vibration as described above to align parts still had problems because it could not prevent the eyelets from being aligned upside down on the conveyor belt.
