DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention more clear and specific to those skilled in the art, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to embodiments and drawings, but the implementation manner of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the short-length guide rail punching automatic feeding mechanism provided in this embodiment includes a base plate 1, and a fixed guide rail 2 and a movable guide rail 3 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the base plate 1, so as to realize stable transportation and precise positioning of the short-length guide rail. The movable guide rail 3 can adjust its position as needed to adapt to short-length guide rails of different sizes. A first slider 4 is provided on the fixed guide rail 2, and a second slider 5 is provided on the movable guide rail 3. A rack 6 with outward serrations is provided above the first slider 4, and a gear 7 is engaged with the rack 6. The gear 7 is fixed to the motor 8 to ensure the accuracy of the short-length guide rail during transportation. A support bar 9 with the same thickness as the rack 6 is provided on the second slider 5, and a first splint 10 and a second splint 11 are respectively provided above the rack 6 and the support bar 9, and a connecting telescopic plate 12 is provided on the inner side of the rack 6 and the support bar 9, and a movable bar 13 is provided below the movable guide rail 3, and a cylinder 14 is connected to the outer side of the movable bar 13.

[0024] After setting the position of the feeding mechanism and the punching machine, the short-length guide rail to be processed is placed between the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 11, and the cylinder 14 is started. The cylinder 14 pushes the movable bar 13 to move along the slide rail 18, thereby driving the movable guide rail 3 to approach the fixed guide rail 2. The first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 11 gradually close and finally clamp the short-length guide rail. The motor 8 is started. Under the drive of the motor 8, the gear 7 rotates to drive the rack 6 to move precisely, and the rack 6 pushes the support bar 9 to move synchronously by connecting the telescopic plate 12 to transport the short-length guide rail. When the short-length guide rail is transported to the predetermined position, the punching machine performs the punching operation. After the processing is completed, the motor 8 is reversed to return the processed short-length guide rail to its initial position. Then, the cylinder 14 also moves in the opposite direction, driving the movable guide rail 3 away from the fixed guide rail 2, so that the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 11 are opened, so that the processed short-length guide rail can be taken out or a new short-length guide rail to be processed can be placed.

[0025] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a ridge 15 is provided on the bottom plate 1 below the fixed guide rail 2 . The thickness of the ridge 15 is the same as that of the movable bar 13 , ensuring that the heights of the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 11 are consistent.

[0026] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, two first sliders 4 and two second sliders 5 are provided. The two first sliders 4 are distributed and fixed at both ends of the rack 6, and the two second sliders 5 are respectively fixed at both ends of the support bar 9 to ensure the stability of the short-length guide rail during the transportation process.

[0027] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, a telescopic rod 16 is provided between the first slider 4 and the second slider 5 to improve the effect of synchronous movement.

[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, a slide groove 17 is provided on the bottom surface of the moving bar 13 along its width direction, and a slide rail 18 is provided below the slide groove 17, which can make the moving bar 13 smoother during the movement process.

[0029] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, three slide grooves 17 are provided, and the three slide grooves 17 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the moving bar 13, so that the moving bar 13 can move stably.

[0030] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, two cylinders 14 are provided, and the two cylinders 14 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the moving bar 13, which can provide stable power and ensure the stability of the moving bar 13 during the movement process.

[0031] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 11 are both L-shaped structures. The inner sides of the L-shapes of the first clamping plate 10 and the second clamping plate 11 are arranged relative to each other, which can provide better clamping force and leave a certain space on the bottom surface of the short-length guide rail, making drilling more convenient.

[0032] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a motor support frame 19 is provided on the base plate 1 to ensure the stability of the motor 8.

[0033] In summary, in this embodiment, the feeding structure of this embodiment integrates the drive of the motor 8 and the control of the cylinder 14, realizing a feeding process with a high degree of automation. The spacing between the fixed guide rail 2 and the movable guide rail 3 is flexibly adjusted by the extension and contraction of the cylinder 14, thereby firmly clamping the short-length guide rail. Driven by the motor 8, the gear 7 rotates to drive the rack 6 to move precisely, and the rack 6 pushes the support bar 9 to move synchronously by connecting the telescopic plate 12, ensuring that the entire mechanism can smoothly and accurately guide the short-length guide rail for transportation. This automated feeding mechanism improves the stability and accuracy of the conveying process, and enhances production efficiency and product quality.

[0034] The above is only a further embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and concept of the present invention within the scope disclosed by the present invention, which falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
