[0028] The rotation detection assembly includes a support plate 5 which is used to support the rotation detection assembly. On both sides of the bottom of the support plate 5, there are vertical guide rails 6. The vertical guide rails 6 provide guidance and support for the movable frame in the vertical direction. A movable frame 7 is slidably connected to the vertical guide rails 6. The movable frame 7 carries components such as a detection rod and slides on the vertical guide rails to achieve dynamic detection. A hydraulic cylinder 8 is provided at the connection between the movable frame 7 and the support plate 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, a self-rotating shaft 11 is provided at the connection between the signal detector 10 and the detection rod 9. The self-rotating shaft 11 enables the signal detector 10 to rotate flexibly to adapt to the detection requirements at different angles. On the other side of the self-rotating shaft 11, there is a mounting frame 12. The mounting frame 12 fixes the rotating block and supports the self-rotating shaft and is part of the rotation mechanism of the signal detector. On one side of both ends of the mounting frame 12 facing the middle, there are rotating blocks. The signal detector 10 is rotatably connected between the rotating blocks on both sides. On the side of the detection rod 9 facing the movable frame 7, there is a rotating shaft 13.

The tension spring provides a restoring force for the tension rod to ensure that the fixed baffle maintains an appropriate pressure.

[0033] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , when the present utility model is feeding materials, first, place the tray 4 correctly on the tray guide rail 17, use the fixed baffle 18 to adjust and fix the position of the tray to ensure the stability of the tray during transportation. Start the movable frame motor 15, and control the movable frame 7 to rise to the initial detection position through the hydraulic cylinder 8. Confirm that the signal detector 10 is in a flexible and adjustable state through the linkage of the self-rotating shaft 11 and the rotating block. Turn on the conveyor belt motor 20, and the conveyor belt 3 starts to run. The tray 4 moves with the conveyor belt. The side guide rail 16 and the tray guide rail 17 ensure that it moves smoothly along the predetermined track. The detection rod 9 continuously monitors the position and state of the tray through the signal detector 10 as the movable frame 7 moves vertically. In case of deviation or abnormality of the tray, the rotating detection assembly adjusts the position of the movable frame 7 according to the signal feedback through the movable frame motor 15 to ensure continuous and accurate detection. When the tray reaches the predetermined position, stop the conveyor belt 3.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the above embodiment are as follows:

[0036] For the feeding device of this machining center, through the rotating detection assembly, the monitoring accuracy and adaptability during the material conveying process are significantly improved, ensuring the accuracy of the positioning of the tray 4. The design of the movable frame 7 driven by the hydraulic cylinder 8 and the detection rod 9 realizes the real-time and dynamic tracking detection of the tray 4 on the conveyor belt 3, effectively avoiding production interruptions caused by material deviation or blockage, and improving the continuity and stability of the overall operation. At the same time, the design of the self-rotating shaft 11 and the rotating block enables the signal detector 10 to flexibly adapt to different positions and attitude changes of the tray 4, enhancing the adaptability and reliability of the system. In addition, the use of the tray transportation assembly and the fixed baffle 18 ensures the smooth sliding and firm fixation of the tray 4, improving the safety and efficiency of the entire feeding process.
