[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A shaft hopper feeding mechanism includes a base 1, a first mounting frame 2 is provided above the base 1, a shaft hopper 3 is provided on the first mounting frame 2, an opening 4 is provided on one side of the base 1, a lifting drive assembly is provided at the bottom end of the base 1, a pusher plate 5 is installed through the opening 4 at the drive end of the lifting drive assembly, a discharge port 6 is provided on one side of the shaft hopper 3, and the pusher plate 5 is located on the side close to the discharge port 6.
[0028] A first mounting plate 7 is provided on one side of the shaft hopper 3, a mounting block 8 is provided on one side of the first mounting plate 7, a material detection component 9 is provided on one side of the mounting block 8, a placement groove 21 is provided on the inner side of the mounting block 8, a limit plate 22 is provided above the placement groove 21, a horizontal moving component is provided above the base 1, and a bearing pushing component is provided at the drive end of the horizontal moving component.
[0029] In use, the shaft can be placed in the shaft hopper 3, and then rolled onto the pusher plate 5 through the discharge port 6. The lifting drive assembly can move the pusher plate 5 upward, which in turn moves the shaft upward into the placement slot 21. The material detection assembly 9 detects whether the material has reached the appropriate position, and then the horizontal movement assembly moves the bearing pusher assembly to remove the shaft, thus completing the shaft movement. Compared with the prior art, this device, through the pusher plate 5 and the shaft hopper 3, can continuously move the shaft to the next process, increasing the movement efficiency and solving the problem that manually placing the shaft in the prior art reduces the shaft movement efficiency.
[0030] Furthermore, a second mounting plate 10 is provided above the shaft hopper 3, and a shaft shortage sensor 11 is provided on the second mounting plate 10. The shaft shortage sensor 11 is a photoelectric sensor, which can detect whether there is material by detecting the change in light intensity reflected back from the material surface.
[0031] Furthermore, the horizontal movement assembly includes a second cylinder 15, a second slide rail 16, and a second slider 17. The second cylinder 15 and the second slide rail 16 are both mounted on the base 1. The second slider 17 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 16. The drive end of the second cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the second slider 17 via a connecting block. The bearing pusher assembly is mounted on the second slider 17. The second cylinder 15 can drive the second slider 17 to move on the slide rail, thereby driving the bearing pusher assembly to move and move the shaft to the appropriate position.
[0032] Furthermore, the bearing pusher assembly includes a mounting base 18, a limiting groove 19, and a pusher rod 20. The mounting base 18 is disposed on the second slider 17, the limiting groove 19 is disposed on the mounting base 18, and the pusher rod 20 is disposed within the limiting groove 19. The other end of the pusher rod 20 extends through the mounting block 8 into the placement groove 21. A push-in positioning photoelectric sensor is provided on one side of the mounting base 18 to detect whether the pusher rod 20 has pushed the material into place. When the second slider 17 moves, the mounting base 18 can be moved, which in turn moves the pusher rod 20. In this way, the pusher rod 20 can drive the shaft in the placement groove 21 to move, thus completing the loading of the shaft.
[0033] Furthermore, the material detection component 9 is a fiber optic sensor. By using the material detection component 9, it is possible to detect whether there is a shaft in the placement groove 21 before proceeding to the next step.
[0034] Furthermore, the lifting drive assembly includes a second mounting bracket 12, a first cylinder 13, and a lifting plate 14. The second mounting bracket 12 is located at the bottom of the base 1, the first cylinder 13 is located on one side of the second mounting bracket 12, the lifting plate 14 is located at the driving end of the first cylinder 13, and the pusher plate 5 is located above the lifting plate 14. The first cylinder 13 can drive the lifting plate 14 to move up and down, which in turn drives the pusher plate 5 to move up and down to push the shaft into the placement groove 21. Then, the shaft is moved to the next process through the bearing pusher assembly, which increases work efficiency.
[0035] Furthermore, the sides of the pusher plate 5, the placement groove 21, and the limiting plate 22 are all inclined. By making the pusher plate 5 and the placement groove 21 inclined, the shaft can be rolled into the placement groove 21 by its own weight on the inclined part of the pusher plate 5. And because the placement groove 21 is inclined, the shaft will not fall off from one side, which increases the practical effect.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
