[0037] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 4 A material unloading device comprises a device body 2, a driving unit and a turntable unit 1, wherein the driving unit comprises a driving shaft 4, the turntable unit 1 is sleeved on the driving shaft 4, and the driving unit is used to drive the turntable unit 1 to rotate;

[0039] The device body 2 includes a material discharge channel 21, the outlet of which is arranged above the turntable unit 1, and a card slot 111 is arranged on the edge of the turntable unit 1, and the card slot 111 is used to receive and transport the material 5 to be processed;

[0040] A push block 3 is movably provided on the turntable unit 1, a slide groove 31 is provided on the push block 3, a sliding member is movably provided in the slide groove 31, and the push block 3 is movably connected to the turntable unit 1 through the sliding member;

[0041] A rotating fulcrum 32 is provided on the pushing block 3, and the pushing block 3 is connected to the device body 2 via the rotating fulcrum 32. During the rotation of the turntable unit 1, the pushing block 3 can rotate around the rotating fulcrum 32 driven by the turntable unit 1. After the slot containing the material to be processed 5 rotates by a preset angle, the pushing block 3 contacts the material to be processed 5 and pushes the material to be processed 5 out of the slot 111.

[0042] Compared with the prior art in which the rotation angle must be greater than 120 degrees and the material 5 to be processed falls by gravity, the preset angle of the present application is much smaller than 120 degrees. The turntable unit 1 and the pusher block 3 only need to rotate a very small preset angle, and then the material can be unloaded with the help of the pusher block 3. In actual operation, the material 5 to be processed can be pushed out when the preset angle is less than 60 degrees, which effectively improves the production efficiency and saves the space of the device.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the material unloading device includes a device body 2, a driving unit and a turntable unit 1, and the driving unit is used to drive the turntable unit 1 to rotate. Due to the large rotation angle, if a plurality of slots of different specifications are provided on the chuck structure, the round material will fall into other non-matching slots by mistake during the rotation of the chuck structure. The turntable unit 1 includes a main chuck 11 and a sub-chuck 12, and the sub-chuck 12 is fixedly arranged on the main chuck 11. The driving unit includes a driving shaft 4, and the main chuck 11 and the sub-chuck 12 are both sleeved on the driving shaft 4. The device body 2 includes a material unloading channel 21, and the material unloading channel 21 is arranged above the turntable unit 1. A plurality of slots 111 of different specifications are arranged on the edge of the main chuck 11, and a retaining groove 121 is arranged on the sub-chuck 12. The retaining groove 121 cooperates with one of the slots 111 to receive and transport the material 5 to be processed, and the sub-chuck 12 is also used to cover other slots 111. A slide groove 31 is provided on the pushing block 3, and a sliding part is movably provided in the slide groove 31. The sliding part slides in the slide groove 31, and the pushing block 3 is movably connected to the auxiliary chuck 12 through the sliding part; a pushing block 3 is provided on the auxiliary chuck 12, and the pushing block 3 is provided with a rotating fulcrum 32. The pushing block 3 is connected to the device body 2 through the rotating fulcrum 32, and the pushing block 3 rotates around the rotating fulcrum 32. The pushing block 3 is used to contact the material to be processed 5 and push out the material to be processed 5 after the turntable unit 1 rotates by a preset angle.

[0044] In actual production, a plurality of materials to be processed 5 are stored on the material discharge channel 21. The material to be processed 5 in this embodiment is a circular tube. A slot 111 that can match the material to be processed 5 is selected according to the size of the material to be processed 5, and the selected slot 111 is placed corresponding to the retaining groove 121, and then the main chuck 11 and the auxiliary chuck 12 are connected, and the retaining groove 121 cooperates with the selected slot 111 to receive and transport the material to be processed 5. The driving unit drives the turntable unit 1 to start rotating, and the main chuck 11 and the auxiliary chuck 12 rotate synchronously. When the retaining groove 121 and the selected slot 111 are rotated to the bottom of the material discharge channel 21, the material to be processed 5 automatically falls into the slot 111 and the retaining groove 121 by gravity.

[0045] The auxiliary chuck 12 is connected with a push block 3, which is fixedly connected to the device body 2 through a rotating fulcrum 32. At the same time, the push block 3 is movably connected to the auxiliary chuck 12 through a sliding member. When the auxiliary chuck 12 rotates, the sliding member rotates. The sliding member is arranged in the slide groove 31, so that the sliding member can push the push block 3 to rotate together, and the push block 3 also rotates around the rotating fulcrum 32. The material 5 to be processed rotates synchronously with the turntable unit 1. When it rotates to a preset angle, the push block 3 contacts the material 5 to be processed, and the push block 3 continues to be driven to rotate. The push block 3 exerts force on the material 5 to be processed, so that the material 5 to be processed is pushed out from the card slot 111 and the retaining groove 121, and the material 5 to be processed slides to the area to be processed 6, thereby forming a material unloading process.

[0046] The present application is not limited to the structure of this embodiment. In an optional embodiment, the turntable unit 1 only includes the main chuck 11, and a card slot 111 is provided on the edge of the main chuck 11. Optionally, a single card slot 111 can be provided on the edge of the main chuck 11. Optionally, a plurality of card slots 111 of the same specification are provided on the edge of the main chuck 11, and the pusher block 3 is movably provided on the main chuck 11 through a sliding member. The sliding member in the present application can be a sliding pin.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the pushing block 3 includes a protrusion, which is used to contact the material to be processed 5 and push the material to be processed 5 out.

[0048] After the main chuck 11 rotates a certain angle relative to the auxiliary chuck 12, a selected slot 111 is placed and fixed corresponding to the stop slot 121. In an optional embodiment, a plurality of slots 111 of different specifications are evenly distributed on the edge of the main chuck 11, a plurality of positioning holes 112 corresponding to the slots 111 are evenly distributed in the area near the center of the main chuck 11, and a connecting hole 122 is provided on the auxiliary chuck 12. The positioning hole 112 and the connecting hole 122 pass through a fixing member for fixing and connecting the main chuck 11 and the auxiliary chuck 12. The fixing member may be a pin.

[0049] When actually adjusting the relative position between the main chuck 11 and the auxiliary chuck 12, it is easier to rotate the main chuck 11 after separating the main chuck 11 and the auxiliary chuck 12 by a certain distance. In an optional embodiment, an elastic member 42 is provided on the driving shaft 4 on the side of the main chuck 11 away from the auxiliary chuck 12, and a limiting member 41 is provided on the driving shaft 4, and the limiting member 41 is connected to the elastic member 42. When the main chuck 11 moves a certain distance in the direction away from the auxiliary chuck 12, the limiting member 41 limits the distance of the main chuck 11 to prevent it from falling off the driving shaft 4. Optionally, the elastic member 42 is a spring or elastic rubber.

[0050] To facilitate the movement of the main chuck 11, in an optional embodiment, the elastic member 42 is covered with a shell 43, and the shell 43 is fixedly connected to the main chuck 11. In the original state of the spring, the shell is separated from the elastic member 42. When the main chuck 11 needs to be rotated, the shell 43 drives the main chuck 11 to move toward the limit member 41.

[0051] After the material 5 to be processed is pushed out by the pushing block 3, it directly falls into the area to be processed 6, causing certain damage to the material 5 to be processed. In an optional embodiment, the device body 2 includes a buffer plate 22, which is arranged on the side of the pushing block 3 away from the auxiliary chuck 12, and the buffer plate 22 includes an inclined portion 221. After the material 5 to be processed is pushed out, the inclined portion 221 contacts the material 5 to be processed, and the material 5 to be processed rolls on the inclined portion 221 and then falls into the area to be processed 6 with buffering.

[0052] In the present application, a mounting hole is provided on the device body 2, and the main chuck 11 is movably mounted in the mounting hole. The driving unit includes a driving source, and the driving source drives the driving shaft 4 to rotate.

[0053] In summary, the unloading device of the present embodiment includes a device body 2, a driving unit and a turntable unit 1. The driving unit drives the turntable unit 1 to rotate. A slot 111 is arranged on the edge of the turntable unit 1. When the turntable unit 1 rotates, the material to be processed 5 in the unloading channel 21 falls into the slot 111 by its own gravity. The slot 111 rotates with the material to be processed 5. During the rotation of the turntable unit 1, the pusher block 3 is also driven to rotate. The pusher block 3 rotates around the rotation fulcrum 32 at the same time. When the turntable unit 1 and the material to be processed 5 rotate to a preset angle, the pusher block 3 contacts the material to be processed 5 and pushes the material to be processed 5 out. The preset angle of the present application is much smaller than 120 degrees. The turntable unit 1 and the pusher block 3 only need to rotate a very small preset angle to realize unloading, which effectively improves the production efficiency and saves the space of the device.
