Jig assembly for orienting, sorting and selecting fastener nuts

摘要

A jig assembly for selecting and presenting fastener nuts in the correct orientation, each fastener nut including a nut cap and an assembling portion formed on an end of the fastener nut. The diameter of the nut cap is larger than the diameter of the assembling portion. The jig assembly includes an electric cabinet, a jig bracket, a feed container, and a sorting tray. The feed container includes a selector with an opening. The width of the opening is equal to the height of the fastener nut, the first sidewall of the selector forms a plurality of restricting protrusions, and each two adjacent restricting protrusions cooperatively define a restricting groove therebetween. The width of each restricting groove is equal to the diameter of the assembling portion, thus only fastener nuts in the correct orientation are capable of passing through the selector to be collected in the sorting tray.

1. A jig assembly for selecting, orienting and sorting a plurality of fastener nuts in a correct orientation of the fastener nuts, each fastener nut comprising a nut cap and an assembling portion formed on an end of the nut cap, the jig assembly comprising:
an electric cabinet; a jig bracket loaded on a top of the electric cabinet; a feed container comprising a selector assembled on the jig bracket; and a sorting tray detachably assembled on the jig bracket below the feed container, wherein the diameter of the nut cap of the fastener nut is larger than the diameter of the assembling portion, the selector comprises a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, and defines an opening between the first sidewall and the second sidewall in an end of the selector adjacent to the sorting tray, the width of the opening of the selector is equal to the height of the fastener nut, the first sidewall forms a plurality of restricting protrusions protruding out from the inner surface of the first sidewall, every two adjacent restricting protrusions cooperatively define a restricting groove therebetween, the width of each restricting groove is equal to the diameter of the assembling portion, and the restricting groove is configured for the assembling portion of the fastener nut passing therethrough, the space between the second sidewall and each of the restricting protrusions is configured for the nut cap passing therethrough, and the thickness of each restricting protrusion is less than or equal to the height of the assembling portion, thus only the fastener nuts in the correct orientation are capable of passing through the selector to be collected in the sorting tray.
