The first moving plate 404 and the second moving plate 409 are used to convey the round steel bars 3 sequentially, and the aligning plate 411 is used to align the round steel bars 3, thereby preventing the round steel bars 3 from tilting during the rolling process.

[0023] The feeding mechanism 4 also includes an electric telescopic rod 401 installed inside the feeding device 1. The bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 401 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding device 1 by bolts. The electric telescopic rod 401 is located on one side of the first moving plate 404. A crossbar 402 is provided at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 401. A first moving rod 403 is fixedly connected to the top end of the crossbar 402 by bolts. One side of the first moving rod 403 is fixedly connected to the first moving plate 404, and another first moving rod 403 is fixedly connected to the other side of the first moving plate 404. When the output end of the electric telescopic rod 401 moves downward, it can drive the crossbar 402 to move. The movement of the crossbar 402 drives the first moving rod 403 to move, and the movement of the first moving rod 403 drives the first moving plate 404 to move. A first rack 405 is fixedly connected to one end of the crossbar 402 by bolts. One end of the first rack 405 is engaged with straight teeth. The gear 406 has a second rack 407 meshing at the end of the spur gear 406 away from the first rack 405. The crossbar 402 moves downward, causing the first rack 405 to move. The movement of the first rack 405 causes the spur gear 406 to rotate. The rotation of the spur gear 406 causes the second rack 407 to move upward. A connecting column 4061 is welded to one side of the spur gear 406. The connecting column 4061 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding device 1 through a bearing. The connecting column 4061 is used to support the spur gear 406 and to ensure the stability of the power transmission when the spur gear 406 rotates. A second moving rod 408 is welded to one end of the second rack 407. One side of the second moving rod 408 is fixedly connected to the second moving plate 409. The upward movement of the second rack 407 can drive the second moving rod 408 to move. The movement of the second moving rod 408 causes the second moving plate 409 to move upward.

[0024] A pressing block 4021 is bolted to the bottom end of the crossbar 402. A sliding block 410 is bolted to one side of the tidying plate 411. The sliding block 410 is located below the pressing block 4021, and the bottom end of the pressing block 4021 is arc-shaped, as is one side of the sliding block 410. When the crossbar 402 moves downward, it can drive the pressing block 4021 to move. The pressing block 4021 moves and presses one side of the sliding block 410, thereby driving the sliding block 410 to move. The movement of the sliding block 410 causes the tidying plate 411 to move horizontally. The bottom end of the sliding block 410 is fixed with a limit block 4101 by bolts. The bottom end of the sliding block 410 is sleeved with a slide rail 4102. The limit block 4101 is located inside the slide rail 4102. A spring 4103 is fixedly connected to one side of the limit block 4101. The other side of the spring 4103 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding device 1. The slide rail 4102 is used to limit the limit block 4101 and the sliding block 410. The spring 4103 is used to maintain the initial state of the sliding block 410. The spring 4103 is used to provide a horizontal reset force to the sliding block 410.

[0025] Working principle: In use, firstly, multiple round steel bars 3 are placed inside the placement slot 101. Then, the user controls the electric telescopic rod 401 to work. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 401 moves downward, which drives the crossbar 402 to move. The movement of the crossbar 402 drives the first moving rod 403 to move downward. The movement of the first moving rod 403 drives the first moving plate 404 to move. The first moving plate 404 moves and abuts against one end of the next round steel bar 3. The downward movement of the crossbar 402 drives the first rack 405 to move downward. The movement of the first rack 405 drives the spur gear 406 to rotate. The rotation of the 6-axis causes the second rack 407 to move upward, the movement of the second rack 407 causes the second moving rod 408 to move, the movement of the second moving rod 408 causes the second moving plate 409 to move upward, the movement of the second moving plate 409 separates from the rightmost round steel 3, and the round steel 3 rolls toward the interior of the furnace body 2. After conveying a round steel 3, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 401 resets and moves, and through mechanical transmission, drives the first moving plate 404 and the second moving plate 409 to reset and move. At this time, the round steel 3 rolls toward one end of the second moving plate 409 under the tilting action of the placement groove 101.

[0026] Secondly, the horizontal bar 402 moves downward and simultaneously drives the pressing block 4021 to move. The pressing block 4021 moves and contacts the top of the sliding block 410, thereby pushing the sliding block 410 to move towards the side closer to the tidying plate 411. The movement of the sliding block 410 drives the limiting block 4101 to move, and the spring 4103 is squeezed by force. The movement of the sliding block 410 drives the tidying plate 411 to move. The tidying plate 411 moves and contacts and squeezes one side of the round steel 3. When the horizontal bar 402 returns to its original position, the spring 4103 returns to its original position and drives the tidying plate 411 to return to its original position through mechanical transmission. At this time, the round steel 3 inside the placement groove 101 is tidy and rolls towards one side of the second moving plate 409.

[0027] Finally, by setting the first moving plate 404 and the second moving plate 409, the alternating up and down movement of the first moving plate 404 and the second moving plate 409 can feed the round steel 3 into the furnace body 2 sequentially and quantitatively. Compared with the traditional manual feeding method, this reduces the workload of the staff. Furthermore, when feeding the round steel 3, the horizontal movement of the straightening plate 411 can straighten the rolling round steel 3, preventing the round steel 3 from tilting during the feeding process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the round steel 3 feeding.
