[0002] Metal bar is one of the indispensable raw materials in industrial design and is widely used in many industries and fields. Depending on the characteristics of the product, the material and specification of metal bar are also different to meet different functional requirements. In mold processing, aluminum alloy bar is often selected as the raw material. This is because aluminum alloy has good cutting performance, low density, easy processing, and excellent surface treatment performance, which can meet the requirements of mold for precision and surface quality. In addition, the corrosion resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio of aluminum alloy bar also make it an ideal material for mold manufacturing.

[0003] Steel bars are a common choice in the processing of connecting materials for building components.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0040] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The metal rod automatic cutting and transportation device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises: a workbench 1, which is a flat plate. The workbench 1 is provided with a first linear module 2 and a conveyor belt mechanism 5.

[0041] The first linear module 2 is a common linear module, for example, it can be a screw mechanism driven by a cylinder or a motor, and the conveyor belt mechanism 5 is a conveyor belt mechanism driven by a motor.

[0042] The driving end of the first linear module 2 is connected to a clamping mechanism 8, and the first linear module 2 can drive the clamping mechanism 8 to approach or move away from the conveyor belt mechanism 5. A plurality of partitions 502 are arranged on the conveyor belt 501 of the conveyor belt mechanism 5, and two adjacent partitions 502 form a placement cavity. The clamping mechanism 8 is used to clamp one side of the metal rod 100, and the other side of the metal rod 100 is placed between the two outermost partitions 502 on the upper part of the conveyor belt 501. During specific operation, when the metal rod 100 is located between the two outermost partitions 502, the conveyor belt mechanism 5 stops running, and the clamping mechanism 8 clamps the metal rod 100.

[0043] The workbench 1 is also provided with a second linear module 3, which is a common linear module, for example, a screw mechanism driven by a cylinder or a motor. The driving end of the second linear module 3 is connected to a cutting mechanism 4, which is used to cut the metal rod 100 into metal short rods 101, and then transport them through the partition 502 on the conveyor belt 501. Specifically, the cutting mechanism 4 includes a connecting plate 401 connected to the driving end of the second linear module 3, a motor 402 arranged on the connecting plate 401, and a cutting disc 403 arranged at the driving end of the motor 402. During specific operation, the second linear module 3 drives the motor 402 to approach the metal rod 100, and the cutting disc 403 cuts the metal rod 100 into metal short rods 101 between the two partitions. After the cutting is completed, the conveyor belt mechanism 5 moves forward a distance of the placement cavity, the second linear module 3 drives the motor 402 to move backward, the first linear module 2 drives the clamping mechanism 8 to move one side of the metal rod 100 to the two outermost partitions 502 on the upper part of the conveyor belt 501, and then the clamping mechanism 8 releases the metal rod 100, the first linear module drives the clamping mechanism 8 to the initial position, and the clamping mechanism 8 clamps the metal rod 100 again.

[0044] The workbench 1 is also provided with a support plate 6, and a material discharge trough 11 is provided at the lower part of the support plate 6 on the workbench 1, and a material discharge mechanism 7 for conveying the metal short bar 101 conveyed by the conveyor belt 501 to the lower part of the material discharge trough 11 is connected to the workbench 1. The material discharge mechanism 7 includes an oil cylinder 701 connected to the top of the support plate 6, an intermediate mounting plate 705 is connected to the housing of the oil cylinder 701, guide sleeves 704 are provided on both sides of the intermediate mounting plate 705, and a guide rod 703 is slidably connected to the guide sleeve 704, the upper part of the guide rod 703 is connected through the upper mounting plate 702, and the lower part of the guide rod 703 is connected through the lower mounting plate 706, and the driving end of the oil cylinder 701 is connected to the lower mounting plate 706; the bottom of the lower mounting plate 706 is connected to the driving plate 708 through the lower connecting column 707, and the side of the driving plate 708 is rotatably connected to a rotating connecting plate 709, and the front part of the rotating connecting plate 709 is connected to a metal rod moving plate 710 for placing the metal short bar 101.

[0045] The lower mounting plate 706 is also connected to a first cylinder 711, and a driving end of the first cylinder 711 is connected to the metal rod moving plate 710. In the unloading mechanism 7, the lower mounting plate 706 can be driven downward by the drive of the oil cylinder 701, thereby driving the metal rod moving plate 710 to move downward, and the first cylinder 711 can drive the metal rod moving plate 710 to rotate through the rotating connecting plate 709.

[0046] During specific operation, the first air cylinder 711 drives the metal rod moving plate 710 to tilt upward at a certain angle, and the oil cylinder 701 drives the metal rod moving plate 710 to the lower side of the conveyor belt mechanism 5. When the metal short rod 101 passes through the conveyor belt mechanism 5 and moves to the end, it will fall onto the metal rod moving plate 710 due to gravity. The oil cylinder 701 drives the metal rod moving plate 710 to be located at the lower part of the discharge chute 11. The first air cylinder 711 drives the metal rod moving plate 710 to tilt downward at a certain angle, and the metal short rod 101 falls naturally.

[0047] The clamping mechanism 8 includes a placement plate 801 arranged at the driving end of the first linear module 2, a second cylinder 804 is arranged on the placement plate 801, and a column gear 805 is connected to the driving end of the second cylinder 804; a gear mounting plate 806 is also arranged on the placement plate 801, and a first rotating shaft 807 and a second rotating shaft 808 are rotatably arranged on the gear mounting plate 806, a first gear 8071 is arranged on the first rotating shaft 807, and a second gear 8081 is arranged on the second rotating shaft 808, the first gear 8071 meshes with the second gear 8081, and the column gear 805 meshes with the second gear 8081; a first clamping arm 8072 and a second clamping arm 8082 are also arranged on the first rotating shaft 807 and the second rotating shaft 808. A first flange seat 802 and a second flange seat 803 are arranged on the placement plate 801, and the column gear 805 is slidably arranged in the first flange seat 802 and the second flange seat 803. In the clamping mechanism 8, the column gear 805 can be driven to move forward and backward by the drive of the second cylinder 804. Since the column gear 805 engages with the second gear 8081 and the second gear 8081 engages with the first gear 8071, the second gear 8081 and the first gear 8071 can rotate in opposite directions, thereby enabling the first clamping arm 8072 and the second clamping arm 8082 to move away from or closer to each other.

[0048] The working process of this device is as follows:

[0049] One end of the metal rod is located between two outermost partitions of the conveyor belt mechanism, and the clamping mechanism clamps the metal rod.

[0050] The second linear module drives the cutting mechanism to cut the metal rod to form a short metal rod located on the conveyor belt mechanism.

[0051] The conveyor mechanism moves the distance between two partitions, and there is no metal bar between the two outermost partitions of the conveyor mechanism.

[0052] The first linear module drives the clamping mechanism to feed the material between the two outermost partitions, and places the metal rod between the two partitions. After placing it, the clamping mechanism releases the metal rod, and the first linear module drives the clamping mechanism to reset. When it reaches the reset position, the clamping mechanism clamps the metal rod again, and the second linear module drives the cutting mechanism to cut the metal rod again.

[0053] When the metal short bar on the conveyor belt mechanism moves to one side of the unloading mechanism, the unloading mechanism drives the metal bar moving plate to the lower part of the conveyor belt mechanism through the oil cylinder. The first cylinder simultaneously drives the metal bar moving plate to tilt upward at a certain angle, waiting for the metal short bar to roll onto the metal bar moving plate. The oil cylinder drives the metal bar moving plate to move to the bottom of the unloading trough. The first cylinder simultaneously drives the metal bar moving plate to tilt downward at a certain angle for unloading.

[0054] The aforementioned certain angle is generally 5-10°, or an angle that can ensure that the metal rod does not slide or can slide.

[0055] The advantages of this device are as follows:

[0056] The key point is its efficient and automated operation process. It precisely controls the clamping and releasing of the metal bar 100 through the clamping mechanism 8 of the first linear module 2, and the cutting mechanism 4 of the second linear module 3 realizes the precise cutting of the metal bar, thus ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the production process. The multi-partition design of the conveyor belt mechanism 5 makes the transportation and positioning of the metal bar more stable, while the combined action of the oil cylinder 701 and the first air cylinder 711 of the unloading mechanism 7 realizes the smooth falling and collection of the metal short bar 101. The whole device is compact in design and easy to operate, which reduces manual intervention, improves production efficiency and safety, and reduces labor intensity and operating costs.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
