[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0042] Reference Figures 1-11 A simplified bar stock lifting and feeding machine includes a housing 1. A hopper 2 for storing long bars is provided on the top of the housing 1. A translation mechanism 3 is provided on the front side of the hopper 2. The translation mechanism 3 is used to translate the long bars to the discharge port. A lifting mechanism 4 is provided below the translation mechanism 3. The lifting mechanism 4 is used to lift the long bars from the hopper 2. A connecting mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the housing 1. The connecting mechanism 5 is used to fix and connect to a machine tool.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 The hopper 2 includes two first side plates 21 arranged opposite to each other on the left and right, and a front side plate 22 and a rear side plate 23 arranged opposite to each other on the front and back.

[0044] The hopper 2 also includes a bottom plate 24 inclinedly arranged on the rear side plate 23, and a rear fixing plate 25 connected to the bottom plate 24. Two partitions 26 are movably spaced on the bottom plate 24. The two partitions 26 are connected by a connecting rod 27. The two ends of the connecting rod 27 pass through the partitions 26 and are fixed to the two first side plates 21.

[0045] The hopper 2 is provided with an inclined push plate 6 on the front side, and the push plate 6 is located on the inner side of the front side plate 22; the top of the front side plate 22 is connected to the material trough 9 through the bracket 7 and the connecting plate 8.

[0046] In this embodiment, by employing the lifting mechanism 4 and the translation mechanism 3, the orderly feeding and discharging of bar stock can be achieved. This method is simple to operate, convenient to use, reduces equipment costs, minimizes equipment footprint, and improves production efficiency. To accommodate bar stock of different lengths, the hopper 2 incorporates two movable partitions 26 and two connecting rods 27, allowing for mechanical adjustment of their spacing.

[0047] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 Specifically, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a cylinder 41, a push rod 42 connected to the cylinder 41, and a first connecting block 43 fixed to the push rod 42. The first connecting block 43 is fixedly connected to the push plate 6 through a first connecting frame 44. A first slider 45 is provided on the inner side of the first connecting frame 44. The first slider 45 is slidably connected to two sets of first linear guide rails 46 vertically mounted on the front side plate 22. The two sets of first linear guide rails 46 are spaced apart on the left and right. The cylinder 41 is located inside the housing 1, and a front baffle 47 is provided on the front side of the push rod 42.

[0048] In this embodiment, the cylinder 41, push rod 42, first connecting block 43, and first connecting frame 44 drive the push plate 6 to lift long bars from the hopper 2, achieving orderly feeding. In this lifting mechanism 4, to ensure smooth vertical movement and withstand significant load, two sets of first linear guide rails 46 are used as load-bearing components, and the cylinder 41 is used as the motion drive. The end of the push rod 42 of the cylinder 41 and the push plate 6 are connected in a floating manner, reducing installation requirements while ensuring the mechanism's service life. Simultaneously, the connection between the lifting mechanism 4 and the push plate 6 can be mechanically adjusted to accommodate lifting and feeding bars of different diameters within a certain range. Furthermore, to ensure that only one bar is lifted at a time, the push plate 6 is installed at a certain angle. Only the bar in contact with the push plate 6 is lifted smoothly; other bars will fall back into the hopper due to gravity.

[0049] Reference Figure 9 Specifically, the translation mechanism 3 includes a rodless cylinder 31, a second linear guide rail 32 disposed on one side of the rodless cylinder, and a second slider 33 slidably disposed on the second linear guide rail 32. The second slider 33 is connected to a push rod 35 through a second connecting frame 34. The push rod 35 is correspondingly disposed with the material trough 9. A cover plate 36 is provided above the rodless cylinder 31.

[0050] In this embodiment, a rodless cylinder 31 and a second connecting frame 34 drive a push rod 35 to move the long bar stock horizontally to the discharge port, achieving orderly discharge. The main body of the translation mechanism 4 uses a mechanical rodless cylinder 31. To increase strength, a second linear guide rail 32 is connected in parallel to support the push rod 35. The rodless cylinder 31 and the second slider 33 are connected by a floating connection, reducing installation requirements while ensuring the mechanism's service life. In practical applications, the vertical height of the fixed position of the push rod 35 and the second connecting frame 34 is adjustable to accommodate bars of different diameters. Additionally, a cover plate 36 and a front baffle 47 protect the mechanism and ensure operator safety.

[0051] Specifically, the height of the rear side panel 23 is lower than the height of the front side panel 22.

[0052] In this embodiment, the inclined base plate 24 is installed here so that the bar stock falls into the front of the hopper 2 under the action of gravity, which facilitates the subsequent lifting and feeding by the lifting mechanism 4.

[0053] Specifically, the top surface of the push plate 6, the top surface of the front side plate 22, and the top surface of the connecting plate 8 are all inclined surfaces.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the lifting mechanism 4 lifts the push plate 6, the push plate 6, the front side plate 22, the connecting plate 8, etc., which are arranged with inclined surfaces are used so that the bar stock can fall accurately into the feed trough 9.

[0055] Reference Figure 7 Specifically, the front side plate 22 is provided with two spaced strip grooves 22-1, which are used for the first connecting frame 44 to pass through and connect with the push plate 6.

[0056] Specifically, the cross-section of the material trough 9 is V-shaped.

[0057] In this embodiment, a V-shaped feed trough 9 is used to facilitate the safe and orderly discharge of bar stock.

[0058] Specifically, both the translation mechanism 3 and the lifting mechanism 4 are equipped with detection switches.

[0059] In this embodiment, a detection switch is used to provide feedback on the translation and lifting actions, ensuring that the entire operation process is executed in an orderly manner.

[0060] Reference Figure 11 Specifically, the partition 26 is provided with a through hole 26-1 for the connecting rod 27 to pass through.

[0061] In this embodiment, a through hole 26-1 is used to facilitate the passage of the connecting rod 27, and the length of the hopper 2 can be adjusted by the two movable partitions 26.

[0062] When using this utility model:

[0063] 1. The bar stock is manually fed into hopper 2 in one go until the entire hopper 2 is filled;

[0064] 2. The system controls the cylinder 41 in the lifting mechanism 4 to lift the bar into the trough 9 (because the push plate 6 is tilted at an angle, only one bar will be lifted up each time the lifting operation is carried out), and the cylinder 41 retracts.

[0065] 3. When the detection switch at the bottom of the material trough 9 detects that a workpiece has fallen into the material trough 9, the system controls the rodless cylinder 31 in the translation mechanism 3 to drive the push rod 35 to push the bar into the machine tool equipment.

[0066] 4. When it is detected that the bar stock has been pushed in, the rodless cylinder 31 retracts;

[0067] 5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until all workpieces in hopper 2 are fed into the machine tool.

[0068] In summary, this utility model, by employing a lifting mechanism and a translation mechanism, enables the orderly feeding and discharging of bar stock. It is simple to operate, convenient to use, reduces equipment costs, minimizes equipment footprint, and improves production efficiency.

[0069] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
