[0027] To resolve the above issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides an automatic feeding device for electrode flat steel 3, including a transport structure 1 and a drive structure 2. The transport structure 1 includes a transport trolley 11 and a guide rail 12. The transport trolley 11 moves along the length direction of the guide rail 12. A placement plane 114 is provided on the surface of the transport trolley 11 away from the guide rail 12. The placement plane 114 is used to place the electrode flat steel 3. The drive structure 2 includes a winch 21 and a rope 22. The winch 21 is disposed on a cutting machine 4. One end of the rope 22 is connected to the winch 21, and the other end is connected to the transport trolley 11. The winch 21 drives the rope 22 to tighten, pulling the transport trolley 11 towards the direction closer to the cutting machine 4. When the rope 22 is loosened, the transport trolley 11 moves along the guide rail 12 away from the cutting machine 4. The cutting machine 4 has a feed roller 42. The feed roller 42 rotates in conjunction with the winch 21 to drive the electrode flat steel 3 forward a set distance and cut it through the cutting machine 4. The set distance can be controlled by a controller, which can be an automatic control unit or a manual remote control. The cutting machine 4 uses a saw blade as the cutting tool and works with cooling water to complete the cutting of the electrode flat steel 3.

[0028] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a baffle 111 is provided on the side of the transport trolley 11 away from the cutting machine 4. The baffle 111 is used to abut the end of the electrode flat steel 3. The baffle 111 is connected to the transport trolley 11 by welding, which has a high connection strength. When the cutting machine 4 and the winch 21 are started, they drive the transport trolley 11 to move towards the cutting machine 4, and the baffle 111 can simultaneously push the electrode flat steel 3 into the cutting space 41 of the cutting machine 4, which facilitates the cutting of the electrode flat steel 3.

[0029] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transport trolley 11 includes a base 112 and a bracket 113. The base 112 is driven to the drive structure 2 and moves along the length of the guide rail 12. The bracket 113 is disposed on the surface of the base 112 opposite to the guide rail 12. Specifically, the base 112 and the bracket 113 are made of stainless steel, which is rust-proof. The base 112 is provided with a slider or roller 15 corresponding to the guide rail 12, so that the transport trolley 11 can slide quickly along the guide rail 12 without manual pushing, thus improving work efficiency. The base 112 and the bracket 113 are both connected by welding multiple rods, resulting in high connection strength and material saving.

[0030] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the baffle 111 is disposed on the side surface of the bracket 113 away from the cutting machine 4 and is perpendicular to the bracket 113. Specifically, the baffle 111 is perpendicular to the placement plane 114, which facilitates pushing the electrode flat steel 3 into the cutting space 41 of the cutting machine 4.

[0031] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 112 is provided with rollers 15 corresponding to the guide rail 12. The rollers 15 can move easily along the guide rail 12, reducing the heat generated by friction, enabling the transport trolley 11 to maintain operation for a long time, improving work efficiency, and also having the characteristics of low maintenance requirements and good durability.

[0032] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a connector 16 is provided on the side surface of the support 113 near the cutting machine 4. The connector 16 is used to connect the rope 22. Specifically, the connector 16 is a steel plate and is welded to the support 113 and the base 112, which improves the connection strength between the support 113 and the base 112. The connector 16 has a connection hole 161, and one end of the rope 22 can be tied or hooked 18 to the connection hole 161 of the connector 16. In this embodiment, the end of the rope 22 corresponding to the transport trolley 11 is provided with a hook 18. The hook 18 hooks the connection hole 161, realizing the connection between the transport trolley 11 and the winch 21, and making the transport trolley 11 move towards the cutting machine 4 under the drive of the winch 21.

[0033] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 3 The support 113 shown has a balancing foot 17 on its surface facing the base 112. The balancing foot 17 is used to adjust the height of the support 113. Operators can adjust the height of the support 113 using the balancing foot 17 to ensure that the support 113 remains level during use, avoiding safety hazards caused by imbalance, and further ensuring its stability and safety. In this embodiment, the balancing foot 17 is made of stainless steel, possessing good durability and load-bearing capacity. The balancing foot 17 includes a foot body 171, a screw 172, and a nut 173. One end of the foot body 171 abuts against the base 112, and the other end is connected to the screw 172. The screw 172 passes through the support 113 and is locked in place by the nut 173.

[0034] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the placement plane 114 has mounting positions 13 for mounting multiple rollers 14. The rollers 14 are equidistantly distributed in the mounting positions 13 and are arranged parallel to the guide rail 12 for rolling transport of the electrode flat steel 3. The rollers 14 are connected to the mounting positions 13 by snap-fit ​​and partially protrude from the placement plane 114 to support the electrode flat steel 3. Specifically, the mounting positions 13 have snap-fit ​​slots on their periphery, and the two ends of the rollers 14 are correspondingly provided with connecting ends. The connecting ends of the rollers 14 are inserted into the snap-fit ​​slots, and the rollers 14 are in contact with the electrode flat steel 3. When the feed rollers 42 of the winch 21 and the cutter 4 are started, they drive the rollers 14 to rotate relative to the support 113, thereby realizing the conveying of the electrode flat steel 3.

[0035] In use, the transport trolley 11 is located at the furthest position from the cutting machine 4. At this time, the distance between the transport trolley 11 and the cutting machine 4 is the same as the length of the incoming electrode flat steel 3. The incoming electrode flat steel 3 is lifted by a gantry crane and placed on the transport trolley 11 and the cutting machine 4. The feed roller 42 and the winch 21 of the cutting machine 4 are started by manual or automatic control. The feed roller 42 rotates and the winch 21 tightens the rope 22, pulling the transport trolley 11 toward the direction closer to the cutting machine 4. After all the electrode flat steel 3 on the placement platform is cut, the transport trolley 11 is moved back to its original position by manual or automatic means, and the automatic feeding device is replenished again by the gantry crane.

[0036] In summary, by setting up the transport structure 1 and the drive structure 2, the electrode flat steel 3 is automatically fed. The winch 21 tightens the rope 22 and drives the transport trolley 11 to move towards the cutting machine 4, continuously pushing the electrode flat steel 3 into the cutting space 41, which facilitates the cutting work of the cutting machine 4. The automation level is high, the work efficiency is improved, the manual operation intensity is reduced, the structure is simple, and it is easy to assemble and maintain.
