Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a separating device for small thin plate parts such as spring seats.

[Conventional technology]

A separation device is required to stack a large number of small thin plate parts such as spring sheets in a holder and to separate the parts one by one from the holder.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a conventional separation device of this type has a holder 1 and a slideable plate directly below the parts separation position of a rotary table 2 fixed to an indexing unit 6. 3 is placed.

This plate 3 has a groove on its upper surface to receive the parts 7, and is fixed to the slide unit 5 so as to form a small gap with the rotary table 2. The slide unit 5 is fixed to the base 4.

Here, when sending the parts 7 to the position shown in 8, a system is required to prevent the parts 7 stacked on the holder 1 from falling down.
For this purpose, a plate 3 extended by the stroke of the slide unit 5 is used, and even when the parts 7 are sent to the position 8, the upper surface of the plate remains at the parts separation position of the holder 1.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the above separation device, the length of the plate 3 must be extended by the stroke, and although this is not a problem when the parts are sent to a nearby position with a small stroke, it is necessary to send the parts to a far position with a long stroke. If so, the plate 3 becomes longer, and when the slide unit 5 slides to the parts separation position to receive the parts, the plate 3 protrudes from the base to the side, which contributes to miniaturization of the device. It doesn't suit me. Along with that,
The problem arises that the plate 3 needs to be strong, which increases the size of the entire device.

This invention was created in view of the current situation,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a separation device that can extend the distance over which parts can be transported and can avoid increasing the size of the device.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the separating device according to the present invention comprises a conveying unit having a groove on the upper surface for receiving parts and a shutter unit having a flat upper surface, and the conveying unit and the shutter unit are both arranged on the same line. It has a structure that is slidable and can be separated and combined at the destination surface of both parts, so that while the transport unit that receives the parts from the holder slides and transports them, the shutter unit is separated from the transport unit. This prevents the parts from falling out from the holder located below the holder, and conversely, when the transport unit comes to the parts separation position, it combines with the shutter unit and attempts to move the shutter unit slightly back from below the holder. It is something.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on illustrated embodiments.

〔Example〕

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention, with FIG. 1 being a side view and FIG. 2 being a plan view.

In the figure, a holder 1 for stacking parts 7 therein is fixed to a rotary table 2 which is fixed to an indexing unit 6. Reference numeral 3 denotes a shutter plate, which is fixed to a sliding base 10 that slides on a rail 9 installed on a base 4, and is connected to a cylinder rod 5.

On the other hand, the conveying table 11 has a groove shaped like the part on its upper surface for receiving the part 7, and is connected to another bracket 13 by a bracket 12. The latter bracket 13 is fixed to a slidable actuator 8, which is slidable on a rod 17 attached to the base 4 via a bracket 16.

In addition, the shutter plate 3 and the transport table 1
1 has claws 15 or grooves 14 formed on their opposing surfaces, so both slide and form uneven parts 14 and 1.
5 can be combined or separated by engagement.

Now, the conveyance table 11 that has delivered the parts at the conveyance position I moves to the right by the actuation of the actuator 8, the claws 15 and the grooves 14 engage together, pushing the plate 3, and the grooves of the conveyance table 11 move to the parts separation position. reach At this position, the part 7 falls from the holder 1 and fits into the groove. At this time, the shutter plate 3 is retracted by the cylinder rod 5. Next, the cylinder 5 pushes the shutter plate 3 to close the bottom surface of the holder 1 to prevent the parts from falling. At the same time, the transport table 11 is rotated counterclockwise by the actuator 8 to the position I.

Note that instead of combining and separating the two units using the claw 15 and the groove 14, other engagement structures may be used to combine and separate the two units.

[Effect of idea]

As detailed above, according to the present invention, the separating device for small thin plate parts is configured as a separate transport unit and shutter unit, so that even if the transport position is long, the parts will not jump out to the outside of the base. Therefore, it is possible to avoid increasing the size of the device and make it more compact.
