FIG. 13 shows the downstream side of the twisted thin plate 76 in this way, and the upstream side clogging release portion 47 is connected to this.

Next, details of the upstream side, that is, the release section 47 will be described with reference to FIGS.

The upstream side, that is, the release portion 47 is mainly formed by a thin plate-type cylinder device 80, in which a fixed side plate 81 is fixed to a side wall portion 40a of the bowl 40, and a linear A guide rail 83 is formed and fitted to the guide rail 83, and a flat piston 82 is also provided.

It is fixed vertically, and the engaging plate 102 is fixed by screws in alignment therewith, and usually takes the position shown in FIG. A hook portion 94a is provided at the lower end of the engagement plate 94, and is provided so as to be opposed to the lower end of the main body 2 of the fastener 1 having a correct suspension posture with a slight gap. ing.

A fastener detecting device 104 is mounted on the downstream side, that is, on the driving piston 93 of the releasing portion 48. The fastener detecting device 104 has an inverted U-shaped mounting plate 105 and both lower ends thereof as clearly shown in FIG. The light-emitting element 106 and the light-receiving element 107 are fixed to the portion, and when the fastener 1 is moved between the engagement plates 94 and 102 as shown in FIG. 17, the light from the light-emitting element 106 is blocked. Accordingly, the light receiving element 107 detects this, and detects the transfer of the fastener 1 at a predetermined position. According to the present embodiment, when the light receiving element 107 is continuously shielded from the light from the light emitting element 106 for the first predetermined time or longer, both the upstream cylinder device 80 and the downstream cylinder device 90 are switched to the second cylinder device . When the light receiving element 107 continuously receives the light beam from the light emitting element 106 for the third predetermined time or more, the upstream and downstream cylinder devices 80 and 90 are also driven. It is configured to be driven for a second predetermined time . Prior to this driving, the driving unit of the parts feeder is stopped, and after a second predetermined time,
The cylinder devices 80 and 90 are returned to their original positions, and thereafter, the parts feeder is started to be driven. FIG. 20 shows a component posture holding unit 50 provided at the most downstream side.
However, a strip 120 is provided at a slight gap from the upper end of the main body 2 of the fastener 1 which is in a suspended position facing the end 121 of the thin plate 76.

The oscillating component aligning apparatus 31 for a fastener according to the embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above.

When an alternating current is applied to the electromagnetic coil 36, a torsional exciting force is generated as is well known, and the component receiver 32 performs torsional vibration around its central axis. The fastener 1 ascends in the direction shown by the arrow on the track 41 and reaches the discharge end of the spiral track 41, reaches a narrow path 52 constituted by the member 51, and the fastener 1 is securely inserted here. Then, it falls in the groove forming member 53 in a posture twisted 90 degrees in the groove forming member 53 with its longitudinal direction facing the transport direction.
This is because the upper ends 53a and 53b of both side walls are formed in a tapered shape, so that the posture is easily turned over, and the groove 53c is transferred by torsional vibration. Since it is located on the knob 6 side, it is transferred to the feeding surface 54 in a state where it is tilted to the side wall in this direction.
At this time, since the center of gravity is located on the side of the knob 6, when the operator again lays down, the knob 6 is brought into contact with the regulating surface 54 and is transferred to the downstream side. Although the fastener 1 falls from the feeding surface 54 to the suspension conversion part 45,
First, as shown in FIG. 9, the fastener 1 is held with the knob 6 down, and both edges of the main body 2 are respectively supported by the support plate 63 and the first
It is transferred by vibration while making contact with the contact member 64 by the action of gravity. The hook portion 5 is connected to the support plate 63 and the first contact member 6.
4 and is guided and transferred into a linear groove 65 formed between them.

When the first contact member 64 is provided with a notch 64a, the fastener 1 slides into the inside of the diameter of the bowl 40 when it reaches the first contact member 64, and as shown in FIG. The contact area between the side edge and the support member 63 is reduced, and the fastener 1 is shifted toward the second contact member 69, so that the gap 4 formed in the main body 2 slightly projects. As shown in FIG. Although the thin plate 76 has a small projecting length at the upstream end portion, the fastener 1 is shifted in the radial direction of the bowl, which is the extension direction of the projecting portion, so that the main body 2 is stably and reliably formed. The gap 4 is inserted.

FIG. 12 shows a situation in which the gap 4 of the main body 2 of the fastener 1 is stably inserted into the upper end portion 76a of the thin plate 76 as described above.
First, when it falls to the suspension conversion part 45, it becomes a state shown by 1a, and further, the gap 4 of the main body 2 fits into the end of the thin plate member 76 starting from the notch 64a of the first contact member 64, and When detached from the abutment member 64, most of the main body is fitted in the position indicated by 1b, but almost in the overturned position. It takes a suspended posture, and thereafter, as the thin plate member 76 is twisted in the vertical direction, the thin plate member 76 is guided to the downstream side in a suspended state in an almost upright posture. When the fasteners 1 are successively transferred in the correct suspension posture, they pass through the upstream and downstream cylinder devices 8 and 90 as they are and are supplied one by one from the posture holding suspension unit 50 to the next step. You.

Next, a case where the fastener 1 is clogged somewhere will be described.

Now, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, since the fastener 1 is continuously transferred and its suspension is incomplete, the posture of the cylinder device 80 is maintained as indicated by 1, 1 '. A case where the sheet is clogged between the plate 86 and the upper end of the thin plate 76 will be described. In this case, these downstream fasteners 1 are smoothly transferred at substantially equal intervals as shown in FIG.
In this case, clogging occurs as described above. Thereby, all the following fasteners are stopped by the fastener 1 on the upstream side. Accordingly, the light receiving element 107 continuously receives the light beam from the light emitting element 106 in the fastener detecting device 104 provided integrally with the downstream cylinder device 90 for the third predetermined time or more. As a result, the driving of the vibrating parts feeder is stopped, and the transfer of the fastener 1 is stopped. Thereafter, the cylinder devices 80 and 90 are driven, and as shown in FIG. 15, the drive piston 82 is guided and raised by the guide rail 83, and the engagement plate 87 is also raised. The lower end of the main body 2 of the fastener 1 is pulled up. At the same time, the holding plate 86 is also raised, so that the thin plate 7 of the fastener 1 is formed.
As shown in FIG. 16, the fastener 1 is detached from the upper end 76a of the thin plate 76 and dropped into the pocket without preventing the detachment of the fastener 6 from the upper end 76a. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
By being dropped into the pocket, the fastener 1 can be freely transported thereafter.
When the second predetermined time has elapsed, the cylinder devices 80 and 9
0 returns to the predetermined position, and the vibration parts feeder starts driving again. Therefore, the above operation is restarted.

Next, a case where the fastener 1 is blocked at a position where the light from the light emitting element 106 is blocked in the downstream cylinder device 90 will be described.

In this case, the light receiving element 107 is continuously in a light shielding state, and after a lapse of a first predetermined time, the cylinder devices 80 and 90 are driven, and the driving piston 93 is moved along the guide rail 92 in FIG. The hook portion 94a attached to the lower end portion of the engaging plate 94 fixed thereto rises and comes into contact with the lower end portion of the clogged fastener 1 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 19, the bolt 99 is greatly protruded above the mounting plate 95 and the engagement plate 9 is raised.
As shown in FIG. 19, the upper end 97 of the fourth plate 4 rotates the mounting plate 95 against the spring force of the coil spring 96, thereby rotating the engagement plate 102 fixed to the end of the mounting plate 95. The clogged fastener 1 is prevented from being pushed up by the hook portion 94a and coming off the upper end portion 76a of the thin plate 76. Therefore, all the clogged fasteners 1 are detached from the upper end 76a of the thin plate 76 and fall into the pocket. After a second predetermined time, the cylinder devices 80 and 90
Returns to the normal position, after which the driving of the vibrating parts feeder is started, and the above-described operation is started again.

In the present embodiment, the above-described operation is performed. In the posture correcting section 43 on the upstream side, the fastener 1 is rolled over, and then a predetermined reclined posture is set. In particular, as shown in FIG.
The two edges of the main body 2 of the fastener 1 in this position are transferred by the support member 63 and the first contact member 64 by vibrating in a linear transfer path while maintaining this position.
When leaning toward the contact member 69 side, the projecting thin plate 76 is inserted into the gap 4 of the main body 2 .
It is clear that the present invention can be applied to other fasteners other than the fastener 1 indicated by .

When the other type of fastener is used for alignment, and a large amount of the above-mentioned fastener still remains in the bowl body 40, the fastener quick-moving mechanism 44 is used.
Drive. That is, when the cylinder device 58 is driven, and the gate plate 56 is rotated in the direction indicated by the alternate long and short dash line by the tip end portion 59a of the drive rod 59 via the transmission member 60, the gate plate 56 is transferred by vibration from the upstream side. All the fasteners 1 of the type described above are accommodated in the accommodation box 61 through the gate 56. Further, all the fasteners 1 reaching the downstream side before opening the gate plate 56 are discharged to the outside from the end of the component suspension path. Although not shown, if it is confirmed by the empty detection of the component empty detector provided in the bowl 40 or that it has been empty after a predetermined time, the drive of the cylinder device 58 is performed after the predetermined time has elapsed. Is stopped, the gate plate 56 is moved back to the position shown by the solid line, and the arrival of the next type of fastener is awaited at the position where it is engaged with the feeding surface 54. If the next type of fastener is put on the central bottom portion 42 of the bowl 40 and the driving of the vibrating parts feeder is started, the same operation as described above can be performed.

In the above description of the operation, the thin plate cylinder device 80 and the thin plate cylinder device 90 also perform the operation of maintaining the correct suspension posture of the fastener 1, and the fastener 1 is clogged by any of them. In this case, clogging is released as described above, but clogging occurs on the upstream side from the downstream clogging release section 48,
In addition, if clogging occurs in a portion other than the upstream side clogging release portion 47, the clogging may not be cleared even when the cylinder devices 80 and 90 are driven. When it is detected that the clogging is not released even if the driving of the clogging releasing units 47 and 48 and the driving stop of the vibrating parts feeder driving unit are repeated several times, it is determined that such clogging has occurred, and for example, an alarm buzzer is output. By sounding, the clogging may be eliminated by the operator.

In the above, the case where the clogging as shown in the figure occurs at the upstream clogging release portion has been described. Of course, not only the clogging in such a form but also a different type as described in the related art is performed. However, even if clogging occurs in such a state, the clogging release units 47 and 48 also have a function of detecting whether or not the suspension posture is correct, so that the In the case where clogging occurs even with one fastener 1 that is not in the posture, it can be eliminated in the pocket by the above-described operation. As a result, the fastener 1 having the correct suspension posture can always be supplied to the next process.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is, of course, not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made based on the technical concept of the present invention.

As described above, according to the component clogging release device in the vibrating component alignment device of the present invention, a thin plate can be obtained only by the detection output of the component detection means provided in proximity to the clogging release means on the most downstream side. If a part suspended from the upper edge of the device becomes clogged, it can be released, so that maintenance of the device can be facilitated and complete automation can be achieved. In addition, the suspension posture holding operation while the release means is operating.
Vibration of the vibrating parts feeder stops even when the
