Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0031] In modern manufacturing, especially in automated production lines, efficient and accurate supply and positioning of tools is one of the key links to ensure production efficiency and product quality. Traditional tool feeding devices often have problems such as inaccurate feeding, cumbersome tool installation or poor adaptability. These limiting factors may lead to low production efficiency, increased tool wear and reduced machining accuracy. Especially for high-precision machining occasions that require frequent tool changes, how to quickly and accurately position and transport tools of different specifications has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0032] For this reason, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the tool chain feeding device proposed by the utility model includes a chain conveyor line 100 and a positioning assembly 200 for positioning the tool 300. The positioning assembly 200 is installed on the chain conveyor line 100 and moves under the drive of the chain conveyor line 100 to convey the tool 300. It is easy to understand that the chain conveyor line 100 can refer to the common chain plate conveyor line on the market, and has the characteristics of large load capacity and durability. Specifically, the chain conveyor line 100 includes a drive assembly 110 and a conveying plate 120. There are multiple conveying plates 120, and the multiple conveying plates 120 are arranged at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor line 100. The drive assembly 110 is suitable for driving the conveying plate 120 to move along a closed loop path. In addition, there are multiple positioning components 200, and the multiple positioning components 200 are arranged at equal intervals on the conveying plate 120 along the conveying direction of the chain conveyor line 100. For example, adjacent conveyor plates are respectively provided with positioning components (not shown in the figure), or, positioning components 200 are respectively provided every other conveyor plate 120, which can be actually applied according to the density of placing the cutting tools 300. Among them, the positioning component 200 includes two positioning blocks 210, and the two positioning blocks 210 are arranged oppositely on the conveying plate 120. The positioning blocks 210 are provided with a guide groove 2101 and a positioning groove 2102. The guide groove 2101 is connected with the positioning groove 2102, and guides the cutting tool 300 into the positioning groove 2102. It should be noted that the chain conveyor line 100 is equipped with the positioning components 200 arranged at equal intervals, so as to realize the continuous and smooth conveying of the cutting tool 300, and improve the automation level and operation efficiency of the production line. In addition, the design of the guide groove 2101 of the positioning block 210 not only effectively guides the tool 300 to smoothly enter the positioning groove 2102, but also ensures the accurate centering and firm fixation of the tool 300, thereby reducing the processing error caused by inaccurate positioning. In some embodiments, one positioning block positions the handle of the tool, and the other positioning block positions the blade of the tool (not shown in the figure). In some embodiments of the utility model, the two positioning blocks 210 respectively position the blade of the tool 300 at different positions, and then refer to Figure 1 The blade of the tool 300 is partially embedded in the positioning groove 2102 and abuts against the groove wall of the positioning groove 2102, so that after the blade of the tool 300 is inserted into the positioning groove 2102, the groove wall of the positioning groove 2102 limits the displacement of the tool 300 during transportation. Among them, the positioning groove 2102 is a strip groove, which has a simple structure and is easy to process. In addition, the width of the strip groove matches the thickness of the blade of the tool 300. For example, the width of the strip groove is slightly larger than the thickness of the blade, or the width of the strip groove is equal to the thickness of the blade, so as to ensure that the tool 300 will not tilt significantly after the blade is inserted into the strip groove, and the tool 300 as a whole remains in a horizontal upright state, which is convenient for material collection operations after being transported to the target area, such as using a suction cup to absorb the end face of the blade for automatic loading and unloading operations.

[0033] It is easy to understand that the conveying plate 120 of the chain conveyor line 100 circulates along the path of the square ring. In application, the tool 300 is only placed on the conveying plate 120 on the upper side, corresponding to the positioning block 210 on the upper side. At this time, the guide groove 2101 is located above the positioning groove 2102. The worker can insert the tool 300 directly into the positioning groove 2102 from above to complete the loading. After the tool 300 is transported to the target area, the robot can grab or absorb the tool 300 and directly take out the tool 300 upwards.

[0034] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the width of the relative groove wall of the guide groove 2101 gradually increases along the side away from the center of the positioning groove 2102, which not only effectively guides the tool 300 to smoothly enter the positioning groove 2102, but also ensures the accurate centering and stable fixation of the tool 300, reducing the processing error caused by inaccurate positioning. Optionally, the guide groove 2101 is a V-shaped structure, for example, the guide groove 2101 includes a first inclined wall 21011 and a second inclined wall 21012, and the first inclined wall 21011 and the second inclined wall 21012 are arranged opposite to each other. In some embodiments, the guide groove 2101 is a chamfered right angle or a rounded corner arranged at the end of the positioning groove 2102.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning assembly 200 is provided with an adjustment structure to adjust the distance between the two positioning blocks 210 located on the same conveying plate 120, which can flexibly adapt to knives 300 of various sizes, improve the versatility and flexibility of the equipment, and reduce the changeover time. Figure 2, the positioning block 210 is provided with an adjustment slot 2103, the transmission plate 120 is provided with a fixing hole 1201, and the positioning block 210 and the transmission plate 120 are fixed by fixing screws located in the adjustment slot 2103 and the fixing hole 1201, and the structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient. In some embodiments, the positioning block 210 is in an L-shaped structure, and the positioning block 210 is formed by bending, so that the guide slot 2101 and the positioning slot 2102 are located on one plate surface, and the adjustment slot 2103 is located on the other plate surface. It is easy to understand that in general fixing applications, at least two fixing screws are required to fix the positioning block 210, for example, two fixing screws are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the transmission plate (not shown in the figure), and for another example, four fixing screws are distributed in a quadrilateral arrangement (not shown in the figure). In some embodiments of the utility model, there are multiple fixing holes 1201, and the multiple fixing holes 1201 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the conveying plate 120, which effectively reduces the width of the positioning block 210. Correspondingly, a conveying plate 120 with a smaller width can be selected, so that after the conveying plate 120 and the positioning block 210 are coordinated, the distribution density in the conveying direction of the chain conveyor line 100 is relatively large, and more knives 300 can be placed as a whole. Further, the distance between adjacent fixing holes 1201 is less than the length of the adjustment slot 2103, so that at least two fixing screws can be placed in the adjustment slot 2103 to achieve the fixation of the positioning block 210. Optionally, there are three fixing holes 1201, and the adjustment displacement of the positioning block 210 is relatively large, which can adapt to knives 300 with relatively large length differences. In some applications, only one positioning block in a positioning assembly can be adjusted to the distance between another positioning block through an adjustment structure (not shown in the figure). In some other applications, the two positioning blocks 210 in a positioning assembly 200 can adjust the distance between the two positioning blocks 210 through corresponding adjustment structures, thereby further increasing the adjustable distance between the two positioning blocks 210. Figure 3The tool 300 is provided with a blocking protrusion 310, and the blocking protrusion 310 is suitable for abutting against the side wall of the positioning block 210. It is easy to understand that after the tool 300 is inserted into the positioning groove 2102, it can not be offset in the conveying direction of the chain conveyor line 100. By providing the blocking protrusion 310 corresponding to the side wall of the positioning block 210, the positioning block 210 can prevent the tool 300 from sliding out in at least one horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the chain conveyor line 100. For example, the two positioning blocks 210 are respectively the first positioning block 210 and the second positioning block 210. The blocking protrusion 310 is located on the side of the first positioning block 210 away from the second positioning block 210, and the positioning block 210 can prevent the tool 300 from sliding out toward the side of the second positioning block 210. For another example, the blocking protrusion 310 is located between the first positioning block 210 and the second positioning block 210, which can prevent the tool 300 from sliding out from the horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the chain conveyor line 100, enhance the stability and safety of the tool 300 during the feeding process, and prevent the tool 300 from shaking or falling off during high-speed transmission. In addition, it is easy to understand that when the worker is loading the material, the blocking protrusion 310 abuts against the side wall of the positioning block 210 to determine the lateral position of the tool 300 after loading, so that the lateral position of all the tools 300 after loading is consistent, which is convenient for subsequent automated operations. For example, when applied to automated water grinding processing, it can ensure the continuity and stability of the robot's material-taking processing process.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
