Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below.

[0016] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a cylinder stepping feed mechanism includes a base 1, on which a column 2 and a lifting cylinder 3 are mounted. A linear guide rail 4 is mounted on the surface of the column 2, and a slider is provided on the linear guide rail 4. A lifting seat 5 is mounted on the slider, and a support platform 6 is connected to the upper end of the lifting seat 5. The piston end of the lifting cylinder 3 is connected to the bottom of the support platform 6. A storage container 7 is placed on the surface of the support platform 6, and slots 8 are evenly distributed inside the storage container 7 for fixing thin plates 9. A cylinder stepping feed mechanism is mounted on one side of the column 2. The device is equipped with a stop cylinder 10 on one side and a feed cylinder 11 on the other side. A feed control cylinder 12 is installed on the movable surface of the feed cylinder 11. The piston ends of the stop cylinder 10 and the feed control cylinder 12 are connected to a base plate. A stop pin 13 is installed on the base plate of the stop cylinder 10, and a feed pin 14 is installed on the base plate of the feed control cylinder 12. Cam follower bearings 14 are evenly distributed on both sides of the lifting seat 5. Both the stop pin 13 and the feed pin 14 can be engaged between the cam follower bearings 15.

[0017] In this embodiment, the stop cylinder 10 and the feed control cylinder 12 are dual-axis guide cylinders, and the feed cylinder 11 is a slide cylinder. The front ends of the stop pin 13 and the feed pin 14 are both machined with tapered ends to facilitate engagement between the cam follower bearings 14. The distance between the cam follower bearings 14 is equal to the distance between the storage slots 8. During the feeding process, the stop cylinder 10 controls the stop pin 13 to retract, and the feed control cylinder 12 controls the feed pin 14 to insert into the cam follower bearings 14. The feed cylinder 11 rises, driving the storage device 7 to rise. Then, the stop cylinder 10 controls the stop pin 13 to extend and engage between the cam follower bearings 14, and the feed control cylinder 12 controls the feed pin 14 to retract. This process is repeated to achieve step feeding of the thin plate on the storage device 7. When the feeding is completed, both the stop pin 13 and the feed pin 14 retract, and the lifting cylinder 3 controls the storage device 7 to descend.
