[0029] Example 1
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The first embodiment of the present application provides a feeding device for cutting metal materials, comprising: a housing 10 having a feeding channel 11 and a feeding area 12 communicating with the feeding channel 11; a feeding assembly 50 arranged in the feeding area 12; wherein the feeding area 12 is provided with a rotatable rotating shaft 40, the feeding assembly 50 comprises a sleeve 52 sleeved on the rotating shaft 40 and at least one elastic abutting unit 51 arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve 52, the elastic abutting unit 51 comprises a limiting piece 511 provided with a limiting groove 60, the inner wall of the feeding area 12 is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface 20, the limiting piece 511 guides the metal material 111 to be fed to move along the guide surface 20 from a first position to a second position; the housing 10 is provided with a workbench surface 80 for cutting metal materials, and the housing 10 is further provided with a connecting rod 90, one end of the connecting rod 90 is located at the second position and the other end is located on the workbench surface 80, and the connecting rod 90 is used for guiding the metal material 111 to be fed in the limiting groove 60 to the workbench surface 80.
[0031] In the embodiment, the metal material 111 to be fed is in a cylindrical or circular tube shape, the feeding channel 11 is located at the lower end of the housing 10, and when the metal material 111 to be fed enters the feeding area 12, the axis of the metal material 111 to be fed is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 40. During rotation of the rotating shaft 40, the limiting piece 511 of the elastic abutting unit 51 cooperates with the metal material 111 to be fed at the front end, so that the limiting groove 60 of the limiting piece 511 is clamped on the metal material 111 to be fed, and when the elastic abutting unit 51 rotates, the limiting groove 60 of the limiting piece 511 cooperates with the guide surface 20 to form a limiting space for limiting the metal material 111 to be fed. The first position is located at the low end of the guide surface 20, and the low end of the guide surface 20 is flush with the ground of the feeding channel 11, so that the metal material 111 to be fed can smoothly transition from the feeding channel 11 to the guide surface 20, and the second position is located at the high end of the guide surface 20. The guide surface 20 is in a circular arc shape, and the guide surface 20 is a minor arc.
[0032] The upper end of the shell 10 is also provided with a workbench 80, which is used for cutting processing of the to-be-loaded metal material 111. A cutting tool assembly can be arranged on the workbench 80, and a tooling for clamping the to-be-loaded metal material 111 during processing of the to-be-loaded metal material 111. The shell 10 is also provided with an inclined guide rod 90, the number of the guide rod 90 is at least two, and the guide rod 90 is located outside the loading assembly 50. It should be noted that when moving to the second position (at this time, the guide surface 20 is separated), the to-be-loaded metal material 111 can be supported and limited by the limiting groove at this time, and the cooperation of the guide surface 20 is not required. During rotation of the rotating shaft 40, the to-be-loaded metal material 111 moves to the upper end of the guide rod 90, the rotating shaft 40 continues to rotate, the gravity of the to-be-loaded metal material 111 is transferred to the guide rod 90, the to-be-loaded metal material 111 is separated from the limiting groove 60, the to-be-loaded metal material 111 is automatically unloaded, and the to-be-loaded metal material 111 moves to the workbench 80 along the guide rod 90. The entire process of moving the to-be-loaded metal material 111 from the lower end to the workbench 80 is completed without manual intervention, which reduces the labor intensity of workers and is beneficial to continuous loading of the to-be-loaded metal material 111.
[0033] Embodiment 2
[0034] As an optional implementation, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the embodiment provides a specific structure of the rotating shaft 40, which comprises: two loading assemblies 50 are arranged on the rotating shaft 40 in the axial direction, the rotating shaft 40 has a first screw segment 41 and a second screw segment 42 with opposite screw directions, and the sleeves 52 of the two loading assemblies 50 have internal threads for cooperating with the first screw segment 41 and the second screw segment 42, so that the distance between the two loading assemblies 50 is adjustable.
[0035] Optionally, the two sleeves 52 have coaxial through holes, and the two sleeves 52 can be connected by penetrating the two through holes through the lock rod 70.
[0036] Optionally, one end of the rotating shaft 40 penetrates the shell 10 and is sleeved with a driven wheel 43, the shell 10 is provided with a driving motor 45, and the output shaft of the driving motor 45 is sleeved with a driving wheel 44 engaged with the driven wheel 43.
[0037] In the embodiment, by arranging two loading assemblies 50, the two loading assemblies 50 cooperate to load the same to-be-loaded metal material 111, increase the force point, and improve the stability of the to-be-loaded metal material 111 during loading.
[0038] By setting the first screw section 41 and the second screw section 42 with opposite rotation directions on the rotating shaft 40, the distance between the two feeding assemblies 50 can be adjusted, thereby enhancing the adaptability of the device and enabling the device to be adapted to metal materials 111 of different lengths. Further, by setting through holes on the two sleeves 52, when the distance between the two feeding assemblies 50 is adjusted, the two sleeves 52 are connected by inserting the locking rod 70, so that the two feeding assemblies 50 are connected as a whole. When the rotating shaft 40 rotates, since the rotation directions of the screw sections of the two sleeves 52 are opposite, even when the feeding assemblies 50 are subjected to a circumferential external force, the two sleeves 52 hinder each other from rotating, thereby ensuring that the positions of the two feeding assemblies 50 on the rotating shaft 40 will not be changed at will, and avoiding the situation that the distance between the two feeding assemblies 50 increases while the width of the metal material 111 to be fed is smaller than the distance between the two feeding assemblies 50, which causes the metal material 111 to be fed to fall off the feeding assemblies 50 and causes a safety hazard.
[0039] Embodiment 3
[0040] As an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the embodiment provides a specific structure of the elastic abutting unit 51, which comprises a positioning column 513, a guide rod 512 and a spring 514; one end of the positioning column 513 is connected with the sleeve 52, and the other end is provided with a guide groove; the first end of the guide rod 512 is located in the guide groove and can move along the guide groove; the second end of the guide rod 512 is connected with the limiting piece 511; and the spring 514 is located between the bottom wall of the guide groove and the first end of the guide rod 512.
[0041] Specifically, by setting the spring 514, the guide rod 512 always has a tendency to move radially outward, and can be adaptively adjusted according to the diameter of the metal material 111 to be fed, thereby improving the application range.
[0042] Optionally, the feeding area 12 is further provided with a positioning plate 30, the positioning plate 30 has a positioning surface 31, the positioning surface 31 is oppositely arranged with the guide surface 20, the connecting rod 90 is located in the space between the upper end of the positioning surface 31 and the second position, the contour of the positioning surface 31 is arc-shaped, and the distance between the guide surface 20 and the axis of the rotating shaft 40 gradually decreases in the upward direction, so that when the limiting piece 511 moves along the positioning surface 31, the spring 514 can be gradually compressed.
[0043] Specifically, by setting the positioning plate 30, the positioning surface 31 of the positioning plate 30 can guide the limiting piece 511 to move in the direction of the radial inward by a certain distance, so that when the limiting piece 511 moves to the position of the metal material to be fed 111, the limiting piece 511 is located above the metal material to be fed 111, and then when the limiting piece 511 is separated from the positioning surface 31, under the action of the spring 514, the limiting piece 511 automatically moves to the direction close to the metal material to be fed 111, so that the limiting groove 60 is engaged on the upper end of the metal material to be fed 111, and the automatic grabbing of the metal material to be fed 111 is realized.
[0044] Optionally, the maximum distance of the positioning surface 31 relative to the axis of the rotating shaft 40 is less than the distance of the guide surface 20 relative to the axis of the rotating shaft 40.
[0045] Specifically, the above distance limitation plays a role in limiting the position of the positioning surface 31, that is, the positioning surface 31 can guide the limiting piece 511, and when the limiting piece 511 moves along the positioning surface 31, the spring 514 is gradually compressed. The relative position of the limiting piece 511 is adjusted by the positioning surface 31, without the need for manual control to guide the limiting piece 511 or the metal material to be fed 111.
[0046] Embodiment 4
[0047] As an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The embodiment provides a specific structure of the limiting protrusion 112, which comprises: the housing 10 is provided with the limiting protrusion 112 located in the feeding area 12, and the limiting protrusion 112 is used for obstructing the metal material to be fed 111 located at the front of the feeding channel 11, so that the metal material to be fed 111 is sequentially arranged in the feeding channel 11 in the direction close to the feeding area 12.
[0048] Optionally, the horizontal distance between the low end of the positioning surface 31 and the limiting protrusion 112 is greater than the radius of the metal material to be fed 111 and less than the diameter of the metal material to be fed 111.
[0049] Specifically, by setting the limiting protrusion 112, a certain obstruction to the metal material to be fed 111 can be achieved, so that all the metal material to be fed 111 can be sequentially stacked in the feeding channel 11. The feeding channel 11 can be inclined, so that when the first metal material to be fed 111 is fed, the subsequent metal material to be fed 111 can automatically move forward under the action of gravity. Figure 1As shown, H is the horizontal distance between the low end of the positioning surface 31 and the limiting protrusion 112. By limiting the distance H, the limiting member 511 can only be matched with one metal material 111 at a time, i.e. the limiting member 511 can only grab one metal material 111 at a time, thereby ensuring smooth and sequential feeding of the metal materials 111.
[0050] Optionally, the connecting rod 90 is downwardly inclined along the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 40. When the metal material 111 is moved onto the connecting rod 90, the metal material 111 can be automatically moved onto the workbench 80 under the action of gravity due to the inclined arrangement of the connecting rod 90. Figure 1 As shown, the rotating shaft 40 rotates counterclockwise, and the connecting rod 90 is inclined downward from right to left.
[0051] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application.
