Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of shaft parts manufacturing, and in particular to a shaft parts feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In modern machinery manufacturing, the widespread application of automated production lines has greatly improved production efficiency and product quality. Especially in the machining of shaft parts, automated feeding mechanisms have become an indispensable part. These mechanisms are responsible for accurately transporting the shaft parts to be processed from the storage area to the machining position and removing them after processing. However, existing feeding mechanism designs have some significant problems, particularly in their lack of adaptability.

[0003] Traditional feeding mechanisms often employ a fixed structure, with the position and spacing of the feeding track set to fixed parameters. When dealing with shaft-like parts of varying lengths, these fixed parameters often fail to meet the requirements, leading to jamming, misalignment, or even damage to parts during the feeding process. To solve this problem, operators must frequently adjust the equipment or replace the feeding track, which not only increases production costs but also severely impacts production efficiency, thus requiring improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a material feeding mechanism for shaft-type parts, aiming to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] A shaft-type parts feeding mechanism includes a worktable with an inclined mounting plate connected to it. Two parallel feeding bars for conveying parts are slidably connected to the mounting plate. One end of each feeding bar is an infeed end, and the other end is an outlet end. The infeed end of each feeding bar is higher than the outlet end. A baffle plate is vertically connected to one side of each feeding bar. A limit plate is installed on the end of the baffle plate near the outlet end of the feeding bar. A fixing plate is connected to the limit plate, and an outlet seat for placing parts is installed on the fixing plate. A lifting mechanism for pushing parts into the outlet seat is installed on the vertical outer wall of the worktable near the outlet end. An adjusting component for driving the feeding bar to move is installed between each feeding bar and the mounting plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, two feeding strips are slidably connected to the mounting plate. The two ends of the part are placed on the two feeding strips respectively. The part slides along the length of the feeding strips under the action of gravity. The operator can adjust the distance between the two feeding strips according to the length of the part, so that the feeding strips can be adapted to parts of different lengths without the need to replace components, thereby improving work efficiency and saving time and effort.

[0007] Optionally, the adjusting component includes an adjusting handwheel, an adjusting screw, an adjusting block, and two bearing seats. The adjusting screw is rotatably connected between the two bearing seats. The adjusting screw passes through the adjusting block and is threadedly connected to the adjusting block. The adjusting handwheel is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting screw. The adjusting block is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the feeding bar.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the feeding bar, the operator only needs to turn the adjusting handwheel. The adjusting handwheel drives the adjusting screw to rotate, and the rotating adjusting screw drives the adjusting block to move, thereby causing the adjusting block to move the feeding bar, and thus adjusting the distance between the two feeding bars.

[0009] Optionally, a support strip is connected to the upper end face of the feeding strip along the length of the feeding strip.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the support bar replaces the feed bar in contact with the part, thereby reducing the contact area and making it easier for the part to slide on the feed bar.

[0011] Optionally, the lifting mechanism includes a positioning plate, a lifting cylinder, a connecting plate, a drive plate, and at least two lifting strips. The positioning plate is installed on the vertical side wall of the worktable. The connecting plate is slidably connected to the positioning plate via a slide rail. The drive plate is vertically installed on the connecting plate. The lifting cylinder is installed on the positioning plate. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the drive plate. All the lifting strips are connected side by side to the drive plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, during feeding, the top material cylinder drives the drive plate to rise, the drive plate drives the top material bar to move upward, the top material bar lifts the part, and the part continues to move upward along the limit plate until it flips over the top of the limit plate and falls into the two feeding seats, thus completing the feeding.

[0013] Optionally, an adjusting cylinder is mounted on the fixed plate, and the piston rod of the adjusting cylinder is connected to the adjusting plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder drives the adjustment plate to move, and the adjustment plate pushes one end of the part, thereby adjusting the relative position of the part on the discharge seat, so that the position of each part on the discharge seat remains consistent.

[0015] Optionally, the discharge seat is provided with a V-shaped groove.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, after both ends of the part roll into the V-groove, the V-groove can minimize the rolling of the part without external force.

[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] 1. Two feed bars are slidably connected to the mounting plate. The two ends of the part are placed on the two feed bars respectively. The part slides along the length of the feed bars under the action of gravity. The operator can adjust the distance between the two feed bars according to the length of the part, so that the feed bars can be adapted to parts of different lengths without the need to replace components, thereby improving work efficiency and saving time and effort.

[0019] 2. When the position of the feed bar needs to be adjusted, the operator only needs to turn the adjusting handwheel. The adjusting handwheel drives the adjusting screw to rotate, and the rotating adjusting screw drives the adjusting block to move, thereby causing the adjusting block to move the feed bar, and thus adjusting the distance between the two feed bars.

[0020] 3. During feeding, the top material cylinder drives the drive plate to rise, the drive plate drives the top material bar to move upward, the top material bar lifts the part, and the part continues to move upward along the limit plate until it flips over the top of the limit plate and falls into the two feeding seats, thus completing the feeding.

[0027] This application discloses a material feeding mechanism for shaft-type parts. (Refer to...) Figure 1 It includes a workbench 1, on which an inclined mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected, and on which two parallel feeding strips 3 for conveying parts are slidably connected.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 The feeding bar 3 has an inlet end 31 and an outlet end 32 at one end, with the inlet end 31 being higher than the outlet end 32. A baffle plate 4 is vertically fixedly connected to the side of each feeding bar 3 that is far from each other. A limit plate 5 is fixedly connected to the end of each baffle plate 4 near the outlet end 32 of the feeding bar 3. A fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to each limit plate 5, and an outlet seat 61 for placing parts is fixedly connected to each fixing plate 6. A V-groove is formed at the upper end of the outlet seat 61. A lifting mechanism 7 for pushing parts into the outlet seat 61 is installed on the vertical outer wall of the worktable 1 near the outlet end 32. An adjusting component 8 for driving the feeding bar 3 to move is installed between each feeding bar 3 and the mounting plate 2. Two feeding strips 3 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 2. The two ends of the part are placed on the two feeding strips 3 respectively. The part slides along the length of the feeding strips 3 under the action of gravity. The operator adjusts the distance between the two feeding strips 3 according to the length of the part, so that the feeding strips 3 can be adapted to parts of different lengths without the need to replace components, thereby improving work efficiency and saving time and effort.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The adjusting component 8 includes an adjusting handwheel 81, an adjusting screw 82, an adjusting block 83, and two bearing seats 84. The adjusting screw 82 is rotatably connected between the two bearing seats 84. The adjusting screw 82 passes through the adjusting block 83 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting block 83. The adjusting handwheel 81 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting screw 82. The adjusting block 83 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the feeding strip 3. When the position of the feeding strip 3 needs to be adjusted, the operator only needs to rotate the adjusting handwheel 81. The adjusting handwheel 81 drives the adjusting screw 82 to rotate, and the rotation of the adjusting screw 82 drives the adjusting block 83 to move, thereby causing the adjusting block 83 to move the feeding strip 3, and thus adjusting the distance between the two feeding strips 3.

[0030] Reference Figure 1A support bar 33 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the feed bar 3 along its length. The upper end of the support bar 33 is curved. The support bar 33 replaces the feed bar 3 in contact with the part, thereby reducing the contact area and facilitating the sliding of the part on the feed bar 3.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lifting mechanism 7 includes a positioning plate 71, a lifting cylinder 72, a connecting plate 73, a drive plate 74, and two lifting strips 75. The positioning plate 71 is fixedly installed on the vertical side wall of the worktable 1, and the connecting plate 73 is slidably connected to the positioning plate 71 via a slide rail. The drive plate 74 is vertically fixedly connected to the connecting plate 73. The lifting cylinder 72 is installed on the positioning plate 71 and is located below the drive plate 74. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 72 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the drive plate 74, and all the lifting strips 75 are fixedly connected side by side to the drive plate 74. During feeding, the lifting cylinder drives the drive plate 74 to rise, the drive plate 74 drives the lifting strips 75 to move upward, and the lifting strips 75 lift the parts. The parts continue to move upward along the limit plate 5 until they flip over the top of the limit plate 5 and fall onto the two feeding seats, thus completing the feeding.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An adjusting cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to one of the fixed plates 6, and an adjusting plate 91 is fixedly connected to one end of the piston rod of the adjusting cylinder 9. The adjusting cylinder 9 drives the adjusting plate 91 to move, and the adjusting plate 91 pushes one end of the part, thereby adjusting the relative position of the part on the discharge seat 61, so that the position of each part on the discharge seat 61 remains consistent.

[0033] The implementation principle of a shaft-type part pushing mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: two feeding strips 3 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 2, and the two ends of the part are respectively placed on the two feeding strips 3. Under the action of gravity, the part slides along the length of the feeding strips 3. The operator adjusts the distance between the two feeding strips 3 according to the length of the part, so that the feeding strips 3 can be adapted to parts of different lengths without the need to replace components, thereby improving work efficiency and saving time and effort.

[0034] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
