Device for dispensing parts, for example rivets, which are delivered at the outlet of a storage means such as a vibrating bowl, operating method thereof and adapted vibrating bowl

A method for operating a distribution device (D) for parts (R) released at the outlet of a means for storage (100) which means for storage (100) in the vicinity of its outlet (110) has a displacement path for said parts (R), wherein the distribution device is constituted of:

• a control module (200) authorizing the unitary intake of parts (R) released by said storage (100) and distribution means on the inside of a channel (C), a control module (300) for orienting each part (R) traveling through the channel (C), and a suction means intended to drive the moving parts (R) on the inside of the channel (C) in a unitary manner by accelerating the part (R) which is most affected by the vacuum associated with a means or turning the parts (R) located downstream of the device (D), wherein, with the suction means in running mode and the fork (330) obstructing the channel (C), it comprises:
• in opening the inlet of the channel (C) by retracting the movable element (210),
• letting the sucked part (R1) pass through;
• closing off the channel (C) via the returning of the movable element (310) when the passing through of the part (R1) is detected in the channel (C),
• detecting the presence or absence of a shank downstream of the fork (330),
• retracting the fork (330) so as to let the part (R1) pass through,
• channeling or not channeling the part (R1) towards the turning means according to the desired orientation of the parts, and
• in obstructing the channel (C) by means of the fork (330).
