[0022] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0023] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a CNC machine internal hopper positioning mechanism includes a machine tool 1 for processing a workpiece, a base 2 for placing a hopper is provided in the machine tool 1, and positioning rods 9 are provided on the base 2. The positioning rods 9 are provided in three groups along the length direction of the base 2, and one end of each group of positioning rods 9 is fixedly connected to a rotating seat 7 that is rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the base 2. Figure 2 As shown, when the hopper slides to the surface of the positioning rod 9 on the right rotating seat 7, the rotating seats 7 on the right and middle positions rotate until the suspended ends of the positioning rod 9 are opposite to each other, and then the hopper slides from the right rotating seat 7 to the rotating seat 7 in the middle position, the rotating seat 7 on the right is reset, and the rotating seat 7 in the middle position and the rotating seat 7 in the left position rotate until the suspended ends of the positioning rod 9 are opposite to each other, and the hopper on the rotating seat 7 in the middle position can be pushed to the rotating seat 7 on the left side, that is, this scheme can realize the transfer of the hopper from the right rotating seat 7 to the left by controlling the rotation of the rotating seat 7, that is, ensure that the hopper enters the base 2 along a fixed direction, and can change its position on the base 2, and the rotating seat 7 is rotatably connected to the base 2 Part of it extends to the bottom of the base 2 and is fixedly installed with a connecting frame 13. Among the three connecting frames 13, the connecting frame 13 located in the middle position is plugged with a lifting frame 11. Both sides of the top edge of the lifting frame 11 are rotatably connected to a number of pulleys 14, and belt strips 15 are friction-fitted between the pulleys 14. The inner bottom surface of the base 2 is provided with a through groove 8 that is slidably connected to the lifting frame 11 between two adjacent rotating seats 7. After the two adjacent rotating seats 7 are rotated to relative positions, the lifting frame 11 is used to rise until the lifting frame 11 passes through the through groove 8 and reaches the base 2. Therefore, the pulley 14 on the lifting frame 11 contacts the bottom edge of the silo, and under the action of friction, the silo is transferred from right to left or from left to right.

[0025] In addition: Among the three connecting frames 13, the connecting frames 13 on both sides are fixedly connected with a paddle 10, which is arranged in an arc shape and has a height staggered distribution at both ends. The paddle 10 is used to push the lifting frame 11 to rise and fall, and the bottom surface of the base 2 is installed with a single-axis motor 12 corresponding to the positions of the three rotating seats 7. The main shaft of the single-axis motor 12 is fixed to the bottom surface of the rotating seat 7 at the corresponding position. When transferring the silo, the rotating seat 7 in the middle position is first driven by the single-axis motor 12 at the corresponding position to rotate to the rotating seat 7 adjacent to it, and then the adjacent rotating seat 7 rotates. During the rotation, the paddle 10 on its surface will rotate at the same time, and then the oblique edge of the paddle 10 is used to push the lifting frame 11 to rise.

[0026] In addition: a dual-axis motor 16 is fixedly installed on the lifting frame 11, and the two main shafts of the dual-axis motor 16 extend to both sides of the lifting frame 11 respectively. Among the several pulleys 14 on one side of the lifting frame 11, the pulley 14 located on one side is connected to the main shaft of the dual-axis motor 16 through a sprocket group 17. The sprocket group 17 consists of two sprockets fixed to the main shaft of the dual-axis motor 16 and the wheel shaft of the pulley 14 respectively, and a chain meshing with the two sprockets. Under the transmission action of the sprocket group 17, the dual-axis motor 16 can drive the several pulleys 14 on both sides of the lifting frame 11 to rotate, and then the belt strip 15 is rotated under the action of friction.

[0027] In addition: one end of one side of the base 2 is an opening-shaped setting for sliding the silo in, and a sliding bar 5 is inserted into one of the adjacent sides of the base 2 on the open side, and a plug-in cylinder 4 is sleeved on the sliding bar 5 and a spring rod 3 is installed between the plug-in cylinder 4 and the sliding bar 5. An electric push rod 6 is connected between the outer wall of the base 2 and the sliding bar 5. The inner bottom surface of the base 2 is hollowed out near the opening of the side of the base 2 and the hollow part is slidably connected to the bottom edge of the plug-in cylinder 4. When the three rotating seats 7 on the base 2 are all equipped with silos, the three rotating seats 7 are rotated to the positions shown in FIG. Figure 2 In the state shown, the electric push rod 6 is then retracted to move the sliding bar 5 toward the rotating seat 7, and during the movement, the elastic extension of the spring rod 3 is used to push the insert cylinder 4 along the hollow part of the opening of the base 2 until it reaches the other side of the base 2, that is, the length of the sliding bar 5 and the insert cylinder 4 is equal to the length of the base 2, thereby blocking the upper silos of the three rotating seats 7.

[0028] Working principle: when the silo is installed, the opening along the side of the base 2 is first installed on the rotating seat 7 on the right side by plugging it with the positioning rod 9, and then the single-axis motor 12 drives the rotating seat 7 in the middle position and the lifting frame 11 to point to the rotating seat 7 on the right side, and then the rotating seat 7 on the right side drives the paddle 10 on its surface to rotate and swing toward the rotating seat 7 in the middle position, and the lifting frame 11 is lifted into the base 2 by the paddle 10 on the right side, and then the dual-axis motor 16 is used to drive the belt strip 15 to rotate, and under the action of friction, the silo is transferred from the rotating seat 7 on the right side to the rotating seat in the middle position. The lifting frame 11 is moved upwards to the movable seat 7, and then the rotating seat 7 on the right side is rotated and reset to install a new silo. At this time, under the action of gravity, the lifting frame 11 descends to the bottom of the base 2, and the rotating seat 7 in the middle position drives the silo to rotate 180 degrees and point to the rotating seat 7 on the left. Then the rotating seat 7 on the left side rotates to point to the rotating seat 7 in the middle position after rotating 180 degrees, and the action of the paddle 10 is used to realize that the lifting frame 11 rises and presses against the bottom surface of the silo. The silo can be pushed from the rotating seat 7 in the middle position to the rotating seat 7 on the left side under the action of the rotation of the belt strip 15 again.

The model is selected according to the actual use. Therefore, the control method and wiring arrangement of the machine tool 1, the electric push rod 6, the single-axis motor 12 and the dual-axis motor 16 are not explained in detail.
