[0002] During the production process of CNC lathes, manipulators are usually used to feed materials. During the operation of the machine tool, operators often accidentally enter the dangerous area, which can easily lead to injuries caused by misoperation or movement of machine tool parts. At the same time, external objects may enter the working area of ​​the machine tool, causing damage to the precision parts inside the machine tool. Therefore, protective nets are usually set around the CNC lathe and the manipulator to ensure the safety of operators. However, for existing CNC lathes with protective nets, when the CNC lathes have completed processing of a batch of workpieces, due to the limited activity space of the manipulator, the processed workpieces cannot be moved out of the protective net. Workers need to enter the protective net to take out the processed workpieces before processing the next batch of workpieces, which greatly reduces production efficiency.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0037] Specific embodiments, such as Figure 1-3 A feeding structure of a CNC lathe shown in the figure includes: a lathe body 1, which is used for processing workpieces; a protective net 2, which is arranged on the side of the lathe body 1 close to the working area; a loading platform 3, one end of which is located in the protective net 2 and the other end extends out of the protective net 2; a first workpiece transfer mechanism 4, which is arranged on the loading platform 3, and is used to place the workpiece and transfer the workpiece into the protective net 2 or transfer it out of the protective net 2; a feeding robot 5, which is arranged in the protective net 2, and is used to transfer the workpiece on the first workpiece transfer mechanism 4 to the lathe body 1 for processing, or to transfer the processed workpiece on the lathe body 1 to the first workpiece transfer mechanism 4. During use, workers place the workpiece to be processed on the loading platform outside the protective net, transfer the workpiece into the protective net through the first workpiece transfer mechanism, and the feeding robot in the protective net transfers it to the lathe body for processing. After the processing is completed, the feeding robot transfers the processed workpiece on the lathe body to the first workpiece transfer mechanism, and the first workpiece transfer mechanism transfers it out of the protective net. The operator only needs to take the workpiece outside the protective net, which not only ensures the safety of the operator and prevents external objects from entering the working area of ​​the machine tool, but also improves production efficiency.

[0038] Specifically, the first workpiece transfer mechanism 4 includes: a first transfer track 41, which is arranged on the loading platform 3 along the length direction of the loading platform 3, and one end is located in the protection net 2, and the other end extends out of the protection net 2; a first transfer slider 42, which is movably arranged on the first transfer track 41; a first workpiece placement plate 43, which is arranged on the first transfer slider 42; a first transfer driving member 44, which is used to drive the first transfer slider 42 to move, so as to drive the first workpiece placement plate 43 to move into the protection net 2 or move out of the protection net 2. The first transfer driving member 44 drives the first transfer slider 42 to move, and then drives the first workpiece placement plate 43 to move, so as to realize automatic feeding and high production efficiency.

[0039] More specifically, the first transfer driving member 44 includes a drive motor 441 disposed on the loading platform 3, a drive gear 442 disposed at the rotation output end of the drive motor 441, and a transfer belt 443 sleeved on the drive gear 442, and the transfer belt 443 is connected to the first transfer slider 42. The drive motor 441 is a servo motor to drive the first transfer slider 42 to reciprocate.

[0040] Furthermore, the feeding structure of the CNC lathe also includes a second workpiece transfer mechanism 6, which is arranged on the loading platform 3 and located above the first workpiece transfer mechanism 4, and is used to place the workpiece and transfer the workpiece into the protective net 2 or out of the protective net 2. The workpiece is transferred synchronously and alternately by the first workpiece transfer mechanism 4 and the second workpiece transfer mechanism 6, thereby further improving the production efficiency.

[0041] Specifically, the second workpiece transfer mechanism 6 includes: a transfer support 61, which is arranged on the loading platform 3 along the length direction of the loading platform 3, and one end is located in the protection net 2, and the other end extends out of the protection net 2; a second transfer track 62, which is arranged on the transfer support 61; a second transfer slider 63, which is movably arranged on the second transfer track 62; a second workpiece placement plate 64, which is arranged on the second transfer slider 63; a second transfer drive, which is used to drive the second transfer slider 63 to move, so as to drive the second workpiece placement plate 64 to move into the protection net 2 or move out of the protection net 2. More specifically, the second transfer drive can be driven by a telescopic cylinder, a telescopic oil cylinder, and a motor.

[0042] Furthermore, the feeding manipulator 5 comprises a manipulator body 51, and a loading clamp 52 and a unloading clamp 53 connected to the manipulator body 51. The loading clamp 52 and the unloading clamp 53 synchronously clamp the workpiece to achieve loading and unloading, and the production efficiency is higher.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to make the feeding more stable, there are two first transfer rails 41 , and the two first transfer rails 41 are arranged opposite to each other. There are two second transfer rails 62 , and the two second transfer rails 62 are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the first transfer rail 41 .

[0044] Specifically, a cutting oil collecting box 7 is provided at the bottom of the loading platform 3, and the cutting oil is collected by the cutting oil collecting box 7, which is clean and convenient for recycling.

[0045] More specifically, the loading platform 3 is provided with an induction switch 8 and a warning light 9 electrically connected to the induction switch 8. When the first workpiece transfer mechanism 4 drives the first workpiece placement plate 43 to move out of the protective net 2, it passes through the induction switch 8 to turn on the warning light 9, that is, to remind the worker to take the material in time. When the first workpiece transfer mechanism 4 drives the first workpiece placement plate 43 to move into the protective net 2, it passes through the induction switch 8 again to turn off the warning light 9.

[0046] The above is an implementation method provided in combination with specific content, and it is not considered that the specific implementation of the utility model is limited to these descriptions. At the same time, due to different industry names, it is not limited to the above names, nor is it limited to English names. Any method, structure, etc. similar to or identical to the method, structure, etc. of the utility model, or a number of technical deductions or replacements made on the premise of the concept of the utility model, shall be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
