[0002] A lathe is a machine tool primarily used to machine rotating workpieces using a cutting tool. It is the most important type of metal cutting machine tool, and is the most numerous and prevalent type in general machine manufacturing plants; it is also known as the "mother machine." Drills, reamers, taps, dies, and knurling tools can also be used on lathes for various machining operations. The function of a lathe is to cut rotating surfaces of various sizes and shapes, as well as helical surfaces.
[0003] Currently, lathes are all loaded manually. Cylindrical blocks are picked up manually, placed on the lathe's clamping mechanism, and then the clamping mechanism is activated to hold and fix the cylindrical blocks. This method greatly affects processing efficiency, and some blocks are heavy and difficult to move, resulting in high labor intensity.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a lathe machining part feeding device in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example:
[0031] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:
[0032] This utility model provides a lathe workpiece feeding device, comprising:
[0033] The material distribution mechanism 11 and the feeding hopper 12 installed at the bottom of the material distribution mechanism 11. The material distribution mechanism 11 conveys the cylindrical blocks 19 one by one to the feeding hopper 12. The bottom of the feeding hopper 12 is provided with a side discharge port. A side push electric telescopic rod 13 is provided on the side away from the side discharge port. The side push electric telescopic rod 13 can push the cylindrical blocks 19 toward the side discharge port.
[0034] The displacement mechanism can drive the feeding hopper 12 to move to the lathe clamping mechanism 20, and can clamp the cylindrical block 19 through the lathe clamping mechanism 20.
[0035] In this embodiment, a material distribution mechanism 11 is set up to transport cylindrical blocks 19 one by one to the feeding hopper 12. The feeding hopper 12 moves to the lathe clamping mechanism 20 under the drive of the displacement mechanism. The side-push electric telescopic rod 13 pushes the cylindrical blocks 19 that have fallen to the bottom of the feeding hopper 12 to the lathe clamping mechanism 20 for clamping and fixing. Then the displacement mechanism drives the feeding hopper 12 away from the lathe clamping mechanism 20, thereby completing the automatic feeding of cylindrical blocks 19, which is convenient and fast and reduces the labor intensity of lathe operators.
[0036] The displacement mechanism includes an inclined guide drive mechanism 15, a lateral guide drive mechanism 16 and a carrier plate 17, and a support 18 is provided at the bottom of the displacement mechanism;
[0037] The tilting guide drive mechanism 15 includes a guide rail 151 fixedly connected to the feeding hopper 12, a slider 152 slidably connected to the guide rail 151, a second motor 153 fixedly connected to the carrier plate 17, a lead screw 154 driven by the second motor 153, and a lead screw nut 155 threadedly connected to the lead screw 154. The lead screw nut 155 is fixedly connected to the feeding hopper 12, and the slider 152 is fixedly connected to the carrier plate 17.
[0038] The lateral guide drive mechanism 16 includes a second guide rail 161 fixedly connected to the carrier plate 17, a second slider 162 slidably connected to the second guide rail 161, a third motor 163 fixedly connected to the bracket 18, a second lead screw 164 driven by the third motor 163, and a second lead screw nut 165 threadedly connected to the second lead screw 164. The second slider 162 is fixedly connected to the bracket 18, and the second lead screw nut 165 is fixedly connected to the carrier plate 17.
[0039] The inclined guide drive mechanism 15 is set obliquely downward above the lathe clamping mechanism 20, which facilitates the downward rolling of the cylindrical block 19. At the same time, the inclined guide drive mechanism 15 drives the feeding hopper 12 to move in the oblique direction, while the lateral guide drive mechanism 16 drives the feeding hopper 12 to move in the lateral direction.
[0040] The material distribution mechanism 11 includes a material cylinder 111, a first motor 113 fixedly connected to the material cylinder 111, a material distribution block 114 rotatably connected inside the material cylinder 111, and a material guide channel 115 fixedly connected to the bottom of the material cylinder 111.
[0041] The material cylinder 111 is provided with an upper opening 1141 and a lower opening 1142 at the top and bottom, respectively.
[0042] Multiple axial material grooves 1140 are distributed around the outer periphery of the material distribution block 114, and the material grooves 1140 can accommodate cylindrical material blocks 19.
[0043] The upper part of the feeding hopper 12 is close to the lower part of the material guiding channel 115, which can form a channel for conveying cylindrical material blocks 19.
[0044] The material distribution mechanism 11 also includes a funnel 112, which is fixedly connected to the material cylinder 111, and the upper opening 1141 is connected to the bottom of the funnel 112.
[0045] The material distribution mechanism 11 is used to convey the cylindrical blocks 19 falling from the funnel 112 downwards one by one, so as to facilitate the control of the conveying amount of the cylindrical blocks 19. The material distribution block 114 rotates under the drive of the first motor 113. The cylindrical blocks 19 at the bottom of the funnel 112 fall to the upper opening 1141. The material trough 1140 on the outer periphery of the material distribution block 114 is filled with the cylindrical blocks 19 in sequence. The cylindrical blocks 19 then fall into the channel of the guide channel 115 and the feeding hopper 12, and finally fall to the bottom of the feeding hopper 12.
[0046] The bottom of the feeding hopper 12 is provided with a push plate 14, and the side-push electric telescopic rod 13 is connected to the push plate 14 through a transmission. The side-push electric telescopic rod 13 can push the push plate 14 to move.
[0047] Driven by the electric telescopic rod 13, the pusher plate 14 pushes the cylindrical block 19 to move laterally.
[0048] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0049] In use, multiple cylindrical blocks 19 are placed inside the funnel 112. The material distribution mechanism 11 conveys the cylindrical blocks 19 downward one by one. When the cylindrical blocks 19 fall to the bottom of the feeding hopper 12, the tilting guide drive mechanism 15 drives the feeding hopper 12 to move obliquely downward. When the axis of the cylindrical blocks 19 at the bottom of the feeding hopper 12 is aligned with the clamping center axis of the lathe clamping mechanism 20, the lateral guide drive mechanism 16 drives the feeding hopper 12 to move closer to the lathe clamping mechanism 20. Then, the lateral push electric telescopic rod 13 pushes the cylindrical blocks 19 to abut against the lathe clamping mechanism 20. The lathe clamping mechanism 20 clamps and fixes the cylindrical blocks 19. Then, the lateral guide drive mechanism 16 drives the feeding hopper 12 to move laterally away from the lathe clamping mechanism 20. Then, the tilting guide drive mechanism 15 drives the feeding hopper 12 to move obliquely upward. Finally, the feeding hopper 12 returns to its original position and contacts the lower end of the guide channel 115.
