Moreover, the first dialing component and the second dialing component can move the feeding mechanisms and the supporting mechanisms to designated positions according to production requirements, realizing the flexible variable torque of different spacings between multiple groups of feeding mechanisms and supporting mechanisms, thereby automatically adjusting the spacing between multiple groups of U-shaped steel bars, and finally performing stable transmission through the first clamping device and the second clamping device;

[0032] Next, the present invention will be described in detail in conjunction with Figure 1 - 13 to explain the present invention in detail. Here, the schematic embodiments of the present invention and the descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but not to limit the present invention.

[0033] A U-shaped steel bar multiple conveying machine, which includes a frame 21. On both sides of the top of the frame, there are fixed substrates 22. On the substrates, there are linear bearings 30 and electric cylinders 23. A guide rod shaft 28 is sleeved inside the linear bearing. The top of the electric cylinder is provided with a first servo motor. The output shafts of the guide rod shaft and the electric cylinder both pass through the substrate and are connected to a load mounting plate 31. The load mounting plate is arranged on a first bracket 24. On the first bracket, there are several sliding feeding mechanisms 26. Between the frames, there is at least one second bracket 25 parallel to the first bracket. On the second bracket, there are several material supporting mechanisms 27. One end of each feeding mechanism is slidably installed with a first holder 8 that holds tightly to the first bracket. One end of each material supporting mechanism is slidably installed with a second holder 32 that holds tightly to the second bracket. Several feeding mechanisms all drive the first holder to move through a first dialing component to realize the pitch adjustment on the first bracket. Several material supporting mechanisms all drive the second holder to move through a second dialing component to realize the pitch adjustment on the second bracket. The first brake and the second brake have the same structure, and both include a mounting part 801 slidably installed on one side, a first spring 802, a spring limiting plate 803, and a brake block 804 arranged at the bottom of the mounting part. On the other side of the mounting part, there is a starting rod 805. One end of the first spring is embedded inside the spring limiting plate, and the other end of the first spring away from the spring limiting plate is embedded in the mounting part. The bottom of the brake block is provided with a first groove 806. On both opposite sides of the first groove, there are friction blocks 807. The first dialing component and the second dialing component have the same structure, and both include a second connecting plate 1101. On the two opposite sides of the second connecting plate, there are respectively a gear and a push plate 1102. The push plate is driven by a cylinder 1103 to perform a lifting movement on the second connecting plate, and a second groove 1104 for engaging the starting rod is opened at the top of the push plate. The gear is driven by a third motor 1106 to engage with a rack 1105 on the first bracket or the second bracket. When it is necessary to change the pitch between the feeding mechanisms, the first dialing component runs to the feeding mechanism that needs to be moved. The cylinder drives the push plate to extend, opening the first brake. At this time, the feeding mechanism is in a separated state from the first bracket. The first dialing component moves the entire feeding mechanism to the designated position. The cylinder retracts, and the first brake descends to automatically hold the feeding mechanism tightly to the first bracket. Thus, the displacement of one feeder is completed. The other feeding mechanisms are moved to the designated positions in sequence to realize the flexible pitch adjustment function. Similarly, the material supporting mechanism is assisted by the second dialing component and the second brake to perform flexible pitch adjustment on the second bracket. This device can install 16 feeding mechanisms for conveying at the same time, and these 16 feeding mechanisms can be lifted simultaneously.

[0034] The feeding mechanism includes a feeding body, a pressing wheel device 3, a supporting wheel device, and a feeding motor 10. The feeding body includes a bottom plate and supporting plates 1 and 2 oppositely arranged on the bottom plate. The gap between the supporting plate 1 and the supporting plate 2 forms a steel bar accommodating cavity. A transmission device 4 for U-shaped steel bar conveying is provided at the lower part of the feeding body. The transmission device includes a chain plate line and a transmission component. The feeding motor drives the transmission component to move, and the movement of the transmission component drives the chain plate line to convey. An encoding component 6 is provided on one side of the transmission device. The encoding component includes an encoder 601 and a first runner 602 connected to the encoder shaft. The first runner is arranged in the steel bar accommodating cavity and is fixed to the feeding body through a fixing device. The first runner is used to support the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar. At least one set of clamping components 7 is also provided on the feeding body. Each clamping component includes oppositely arranged clamping blocks 701 and clamping cylinders 702. The telescopic movement of the clamping cylinder causes the clamping blocks to clamp the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar. An installation groove is provided above the transmission device on the supporting plate 1. The pressing wheel device is arranged in the installation groove and is used to press the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar. The supporting wheel device is arranged on the supporting plate 2 and is used to support the upper part of the U-shaped steel bar. The lower part of the U-shaped steel bar clamped by the clamping blocks is horizontally placed on the chain plate line and the first runner. The rotation data of the first runner is detected by the encoder, so as to drive the transmission device to realize fixed-length conveying of the steel bar. And the supporting wheel device can lift the upper part of the U-shaped steel bar, and the lifting of the screw motor can be compatible with U-shaped steel bars with different widths of openings.

[0035] The supporting wheel device further includes a first slide rail 902 arranged on the outer wall of the supporting plate 1. A first slider is slidably connected to the first slide rail. A first connecting block 903 is fixedly installed on one side of the first slider. A screw motor 906 is arranged at the bottom end of the first slide rail on the outer wall of the supporting plate 1. A first screw rod 901 is installed at the end of the output shaft of the screw motor. The first screw rod is threadedly connected to the first connecting block. A first tension spring support and a second tension spring support are oppositely arranged on one side of the first connecting block. A tension spring 905 parallel to the first slide rail is arranged between the first tension spring support and the second tension spring support. A rotary joint 904 is sleeved on the first tension spring support. The other end of the rotary joint passes through the supporting wheel groove and is connected to a first supporting wheel 908 in the steel bar accommodating cavity. The rotary joint slides on a sliding block 910 connected to the first connecting block. The initial tension of the tension spring ensures that the first supporting wheel can horizontally lift the upper part of the U-shaped steel bar. When the U-shaped steel bar needs to be moved out to the next working station after being conveyed to the designated position, the whole U-shaped steel bar rises. Thus, the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar pushes against the first supporting wheel to drive the rotary joint to rotate upward along the sliding block until it rotates 90°. After that, the whole U-shaped steel bar can move to the next working station without obstacle. At this time, under the action of its own tension, the tension spring drives the rotary joint to slide downward along the sliding block, thereby driving the first supporting wheel to reset.

[0036] The pressing wheel device includes a support base 306 connected to the inner bottom of the placement groove and a pressing wheel cylinder 301 provided on the support base. Both the pressing wheel cylinder and the clamping cylinder are operated through a solenoid valve 5. Inside the support base, a base 303, a cam follower mounting plate 305, and a pressing wheel mounting block are sequentially arranged from top to bottom. At least one pressing wheel 302 is provided on the pressing wheel mounting block. Corresponding sliding grooves 307 are provided on opposite sides of the support base. Both sides of the base are connected to the support base through second sliding components, and the sliding direction of the second sliding components is the same as the telescopic direction of the pressing wheel cylinder. The bottom of the base is connected to a moving block 304 connecting the cam follower mounting plate through a third sliding component. The movement of the pressing wheel cylinder drives the cam follower 310 on the cam follower mounting plate to move along the sliding groove. The sliding groove includes an inclined linear sliding groove section A 309 and a linear sliding groove section B 312. The head end of the sliding groove section A is the highest point 308 of the pressing wheel, and the point where the tail end of the sliding groove section A is connected to the head end of the sliding groove section B is the pressing wheel avoidance point 311. The tail end of the sliding groove section B is the lowest point 313 of the pressing wheel. While the pressing wheel cylinder drives the base to rise and fall, the movement of the cam follower in the sliding groove section A drives the pressing wheel to move horizontally forward and backward along with the third sliding component, and the movement of the sliding groove section B drives the pressing wheel to move up and down, so as to drive the pressing wheel to press and avoid the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar in the steel bar accommodation cavity. The height of the pressing wheel avoidance point is the maximum diameter of the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar plus a certain margin, and the height of the lowest point of the pressing wheel matches the minimum diameter of the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar. By setting the pressing wheel avoidance point and the lowest point of the pressing wheel, U-shaped steel bars with different diameters can be pressed, and when the cam follower reaches the highest point of the pressing wheel, it is ensured that the pressing wheel is in a retracted state, which is convenient for avoiding the U-shaped steel bar.

[0037] The fixing device includes a fixing block and a positioning frame provided in the steel bar accommodation cavity. The first runner is installed in the positioning frame. The shaft of the encoder passes through the positioning frame and is connected to the first runner shaft. The fixing block and the feeding body are fixed through fasteners. A compensation slide rail is provided in the vertical direction of the fixing block. The side wall of the positioning frame facing away from the runner slides on the compensation slide rail through a compensation slider, and a compensation spring is provided at the bottom of the positioning frame. Because the first runner will have a certain up and down floating during the actual operation process, the compensation spring always gives an upward force to press the coding component upward, and then the force of the compensation spring is used to support the sliding of the compensation slider on the compensation slide rail, so as to ensure that the first runner is always in contact with the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar.

[0038] The material supporting mechanism includes a first connecting plate 2701. At the upper end of one side of the first connecting plate, a fourth slide rail 2702 is fixedly installed. On the other side of the first connecting plate, a second runner 2703 is fixedly connected. The outer wall of the fourth slide rail is connected with a fourth slider 2704. On one side of the fourth slider, a second connecting block 2705 is fixedly installed. In the middle of the outer wall of the first connecting plate, a second servo motor 2706 is fixedly installed. At the end of the output shaft of the second servo motor, a second lead screw 2708 is installed. The second lead screw is threadedly connected with the second connecting block. On one side of the second connecting block, a second supporting wheel 2709 is movably connected. The second supporting wheel and the second runner are on the same side. The second supporting wheel is used to support the upper part of the U-shaped steel bar, and the second runner is used to support the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar. The bottom of the lower end of the first connecting plate is slidably connected to the second bracket through a fifth slider 2710. A grating sensor 2711 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lower end of the first connecting plate. A drag chain mounting bracket 2712 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the grating sensor. The position of the material supporting mechanism can be detected in real time through the grating sensor.

[0039] During the implementation process, the electric cylinder rises, driving the entire feeding mechanism to rise, and then drives each feeding mechanism to move to the specified position through the first encoder, and realizes clamping through the first clamping device. The supporting mechanism is also driven by the second encoder to move to the position relative to each feeding mechanism and stop, and realizes clamping through the second clamping device, and then the clamping block of the clamping assembly is opened, the pressing wheel on the pressing wheel device retracts, the first supporting wheel on the supporting wheel device is lifted and lowered to the specified position, and the second supporting wheel on the supporting mechanism is lifted and lowered to the same position corresponding to the first supporting wheel. The manipulator inserts the U-shaped steel bar into the steel bar accommodating cavity of the feeding body from the side. At this time, the upper part of the U-shaped steel bar is lifted by the first supporting wheel and the second supporting wheel, and the step by step of the U-shaped steel bar is lifted by the second rotating wheel. The clamping block clamps the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar under the movement of the clamping cylinder, and the pressing wheel device moves with the pressing wheel cylinder, driving the pressing wheel to extend and press down to clamp the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar. The pressing wheel cylinder and the clamping cylinder are both controlled by the solenoid valve. When the steel bar conveying signal is received, the transmission component operates under the drive of the feeding motor, and drives the U-shaped steel bar forward through the chain plate line. The advancement of the U-shaped steel bar drives the first rotating wheel to rotate. At the same time, the encoder detects the rotation data of the first rotating wheel. After reaching the specified conveying length, the conveying is stopped, thereby realizing the stable fixed-length conveying of the U-shaped steel bar. When the U-shaped steel bar is conveyed and the processing of this station is completed and it needs to be moved to the next station, the clamping block of the clamping component is opened again, the pressure wheel retracts, and the electric cylinder drives the entire feeding mechanism to descend. Since the supporting mechanism is still holding the U-shaped steel bar, the lower part of the U-shaped steel bar in the steel bar accommodating cavity pushes the first supporting wheel to drive the rotating joint to rotate upward along the sliding block. After rotating 90°, the U-shaped steel bar is completely separated from the feeding mechanism and the electric cylinder also stops moving. At this time, the tension spring, under the action of its own tension, drives the rotating joint to slide downward along the sliding block, thereby driving the first supporting wheel to reset, and finally the U-shaped steel bar can be moved to the next station by the manipulator.
