[0031] In order to make the technical problems solved by the utility model, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in order to solve the problem that the existing metalworking cutting mainly requires manual material cutting and size inspection, which is labor-intensive and inefficient, this preferred embodiment provides an automatic sliding material detection mechanism for metalworking cutting, including a mounting frame 1, a swinging material trough 2, a transition slide 3 and a gauge assembly 4.

[0033] The mounting frame 1 is located at one side of the discharge port of the machine tool platform 5 .

[0034] Among them, the swing trough 2 is used to receive the workpiece 7 at the discharge port of the machine tool platform 5. The first end of the swing trough 2 is provided with a pin shaft 21 rotatably connected to the mounting frame 1, and the swing trough 2 is driven by the first driving member 22 to switch between a horizontal state and an inclined state around the pin shaft 21.

[0035] The transition slide 3 is tilted and fixed on the mounting frame 1 , and when the swing trough 2 is in a tilted state, the second end of the swing trough 2 is connected to the upper end of the transition slide 3 .

[0036] The inspection fixture assembly 4 is disposed at the lower end of the transition slide 3 and is used to inspect the dimensions of the workpiece 7 and to distinguish qualified products from unqualified products.

[0037] Preferably, the first driving member 22 here comprises a first cylinder, the cylinder body of the first cylinder is hinged to the mounting frame 1, and the output rod of the first cylinder is hinged to the side of the swing trough 2, thereby driving the swing trough 2 to swing back and forth.

[0038] Optionally, the automatic slip detection mechanism for metalworking cutting also includes a positioning component 6, wherein the positioning component 6 includes a plurality of positioning pins 61, the positioning pins 61 pass through the bottom of the swinging trough 2, and when the swinging trough 2 is in a horizontal state, the positioning pins 61 exceed the bottom surface of the swinging trough 2, and each positioning pin 61 is used to limit a single workpiece 7; when the swinging trough 2 is in an inclined state, the positioning pins 61 do not exceed the bottom surface of the swinging trough 2, so that each workpiece 7 can slide freely along the swinging trough 2.

[0039] Furthermore, the positioning assembly 6 also includes a positioning plate 62 located below the swinging trough 2. A second driving member 63 is provided on the swinging trough 2. The positioning plate 62 is installed at the output end of the second driving member 63, so that the distance between the positioning plate 62 and the swinging trough 2 is adjustable, thereby controlling the telescopic movement of the positioning pin 61.

[0040] Preferably, the second driving member 63 here includes two second cylinders distributed at intervals, which are installed on the lower surface of the swing trough 2 through a cylinder seat, and the output rods of the two second cylinders are synchronously extended and retracted and respectively connected to the two ends of the positioning plate 62.

[0041] Furthermore, the swing trough 2 and the positioning plate 62 are both provided with long holes 23, and each positioning pin 61 is installed in the long hole 23, and the relative position of each positioning pin 61 is adjustable. In this embodiment, the workpieces 7 coming out of the discharge port of the machine tool platform 5 are arranged in multiple rows, and the first workpiece 7 of each row of workpieces 7 enters the swing trough 2, and each positioning pin 61 corresponds to each row of workpieces 7 one by one, so as to adjust the position and number of the positioning pins 61 according to workpieces 7 of different specifications.

[0042] In particular, a buffer 11 is provided on the mounting frame 1 for limiting and buffering the upward and downward strokes of the second end of the swing trough 2, so that the swing trough 2 is accurately positioned when moving to a horizontal state and an inclined state, and the inertial impact force is reduced.

[0043] In particular, the inspection fixture assembly 4 here includes an inclined base plate 41 installed on the mounting frame 1, and a limiting channel 42 is provided on the inclined base plate 41 and docked with the transition slide 3. A limiting height block 43 and a limiting low block 44 are successively provided on the limiting channel 42. The limiting height block 43 is used to intercept the workpiece 7 higher than the set height. A branch flow channel 45 is provided on the limiting channel 42 and leads out from one end of the limiting low block 44. The limiting low block 44 is used to allow the workpiece 7 lower than the set height to continue to move along the limiting channel 42, and guide the workpiece 7 with qualified height to the branch flow channel 45.

[0044] Preferably, the swing trough 2, transition slide 3 and inclined bottom plate 41 in the inclined state are all located on the same inclined plane, and orderly unloading and automatic screening are completed as the workpiece 7 automatically slides down under the action of gravity without the need for an additional power source.

[0045] Action process:

[0046] 1) When the swing trough 2 is in a horizontal state, a row of workpieces 7 are received at the discharge port of the machine platform 5, and at this time, the positioning pin 61 extends to locate the position of each workpiece 7;

[0047] 2) The first driving member 22 drives the swing trough 2 to switch to the tilted state, so that the swing trough 2 is docked with the transition slide 3. At this time, the positioning pin 61 is retracted, and the workpiece 7 slides freely under the action of gravity;

[0048] 3) The workpiece 7 enters the limiting channel 42 along the transition slide 3, and the workpiece 7 that is too high (the size after cutting is larger than the design size) is intercepted by the height limiting block 43, and the qualified workpiece 7 is guided to the branch channel 45 by the low limiting block 44. The workpiece 7 that is too low (the size after cutting is smaller than the design size) continues to slide along the limiting channel 42, so that the qualified workpiece 7 is picked out.

[0049] It can be seen that the automatic sliding material detection mechanism for metalworking cutting realizes automatic and orderly unloading and size detection of the workpiece 7 after cutting by the machine tool, so as to facilitate subsequent product processing, reduce labor input, improve processing efficiency and product qualification rate, and meet the needs of large-scale industrial production and manufacturing.

[0050] The above embodiments are only to illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of the utility model. The utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model has various changes and modifications, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
