[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] Attached Figure 1 The three-dimensional diagram of the clip-type columnar component feeding device according to the present invention. The clip-type columnar component feeding device of the present invention comprises a material shifting mechanism located below and a material storage clip mechanism inserted in the material shifting mechanism in the longitudinal direction. The device comprises a plurality of material storage clip mechanisms. During normal production, once the material in the material storage rod at the workstation is used up, it can be replaced in time through the moving mechanism, and the used material storage rod can be quickly filled through the filling mechanism, which greatly shortens the on-site material loading time.

[0028] Attached Figure 2 The present invention is a stereoscopic diagram of a material storage clip mechanism of a clip-type columnar member feeding device. The material storage clip mechanism includes a material storage rod 8, a feed block 9 arranged at the upper end of the material storage rod 8, and a material blocking component 10 arranged at the lower end of the material storage rod 8. The outer surface of the material storage rod 8 is provided with a hollow groove 22 along the longitudinal direction, which can reduce weight on the one hand and facilitate observation of the material storage situation on the other hand. The material storage rod 8 is composed of a first material storage rod 23 and a second material storage rod 24, and the first material storage rod 23 and the second material storage rod 24 are connected by a fixed sleeve 25, and the two rods are independent (making them into separate parts can reduce processing costs).

[0029] Attached Figure 3It is a stereoscopic view of the feed block of the clip-type columnar component feeding device according to the present invention; the feed block 9 has a feed port 11, and the interior of the storage rod 8 has a storage cavity along the longitudinal direction. The columnar component 20 enters from the feed port 11 and is stored in the storage cavity of the storage rod 8. The feed port 11 includes a transverse channel 18, and one side of the transverse channel 18 is provided with an anti-misalignment chamfer 21.

[0030] Attached Figure 4 is a three-dimensional diagram of a material blocking component of a clip-type columnar member feeding device according to the present invention, Figure 5 : is a three-dimensional exploded view of the material blocking component of the clip-type columnar member feeding device according to the present invention, Figure 6 The working principle diagram of the material blocking component of the clip-type columnar component feeding device according to the present invention. The material blocking component 10 includes a sleeve 15 sleeved on the periphery of the bottom end of the material storage rod 8 and a plurality of material blocking claws 12 mounted around the bottom end of the material storage rod 8. The bottom of the sleeve 15 is provided with a plurality of notches 16 at intervals, and a material blocking claw 12 is provided in each notch 16. The material blocking claw 12 is Z-shaped, and the middle part of the material blocking claw 12 is rotatably connected by a rotating shaft pin 14. A reset spring 13 is provided above the top of the material blocking claw 12. The lower end of the material blocking claw 12 is clamped on the bottom end of the material storage rod 8, and a limit pin 17 is also provided on the inner side of the lower end of the material blocking claw 12. When loading, the material storage rod is taken out from the fixed seat. At this time, the material blocking claw rotates around the rotating shaft pin (the material blocking port shrinks) under the elastic force of the reset spring and is blocked by the limit pin. The columnar material is placed in the material storage rod and can be caught by the material blocking. When the material storage rod 8 is inserted into the fixed seat 4 longitudinally, the top end of the material blocking claw 12 is seated on the end of the fixed seat 4, and under the action of the material storage device's own gravity, the material blocking step surface is flattened, and the material claw 12 automatically rotates and opens under the action of gravity, and the columnar member 20 falls freely from the material storage cavity of the material storage rod 8 through the longitudinal channel 19 of the fixed seat 4.

The material shifting block 2 has a material shifting hole 6, the table 1 has a material discharge hole 7, and the fixed seat 4 has a longitudinal channel 19 inside. Optical fiber sensors 28 are arranged near the material shifting hole 6 and the material discharge hole 7 through the sensor mounting block, one of which is used to detect whether there is material in the material storage rod, and the other is used to detect whether the material is dropped successfully. A plunger hole 26 is arranged on the material storage rod 8, and a rotating plunger 27 is arranged on the fixed seat 4. When the material storage rod 8 is inserted into the fixed seat 4, the rotating plunger 27 is connected and fixed to the plunger hole 26. The cylinder 5 is extended so that the front end of the material moving block 2 is pressed against the first stopper 29, and the columnar member 20 in the material storage rod 8 falls into the material moving hole 6 of the material moving block by its own gravity to complete the material receiving; when in the material moving position, the cylinder 5 is retracted so that the rear end of the material moving block 2 is pressed against the second stopper 30, and the material moving hole 6 is connected with the material discharging hole 7, and the columnar member 20 in the material moving block 2 falls out through the material discharging hole 7 of the table plate 1 by its own gravity to complete the material discharging.
