It is expressly understood that any of the features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with an embodiment can be included in a different embodiment.

[0037] The accompanying drawings are referred to in the description of embodiments of the application. Figures 1-4 The application is further described in detail.

[0038] The embodiment of the application discloses a rod detection device.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rod detection device comprises a mounting seat 1, a connecting piece 2, a sensor 3 and a reset assembly 4, the mounting seat 1 is fixedly connected to the rack of a rod feeder, the connecting piece 2 comprises an abutting plate 21, two connecting plates 22 and an induction plate 23, the two connecting plates 22 are integrally connected to the two sides of the abutting plate 21 and are rotationally connected to the mounting seat 1, so that the connecting piece 2 is rotationally connected to the upper end of the mounting seat 1, and the induction plate 23 is integrally connected to one side of the abutting plate 21 and is used in cooperation with the sensor 3. The sensor 3 and the reset assembly 4 are both fixedly connected to one side of the mounting seat 1 close to the induction plate 23, and the sensor 3 extends to the inside of the mounting seat 1, and the reset assembly 4 is used for realizing the rotation reset of the connecting piece 2.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In actual application, in the initial state, the abutting plate 21 is in the vertical state, the induction plate 23 on one side of the abutting plate 21 is above the sensor 3, and the pushing mechanism of the rod feeder pushes the rod out of the feeding track. The end of the rod first abuts against the abutting plate 21, so that the connecting piece 2 rotates, the abutting plate 21 changes from the vertical state to the horizontal state, and then the rod continues to move, so that the circumferential side of the rod abuts against the abutting plate 21. At this time, the induction plate 23 is on one side of the sensor 3, so that the sensor 3 detects that there is a rod in the feeding track.

[0041] Wherein, until the rod is completely pushed out of the feeding track, the reset assembly 4 drives the connecting piece 2 to reset, that is, the abutting plate 21 is reset to the vertical state, so that the induction plate 23 is away from the sensor 3, so that the sensor 3 detects that there is no rod in the feeding track, that is, the feeding mechanism can feed the rod. In this way, it can be judged whether the rod is completely pushed out of the feeding track, so as to ensure the normal work of the rod feeder.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the reset assembly 4 comprises a micro-cylinder 41, a reset connecting piece 42 and an abutting rod 43.

The reset connecting piece 42 is arranged in the shape of a "V" sheet, and the other end of the reset connecting piece 42 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 1 on the side of the micro-cylinder 41. The abutting rod 43 is installed on the other end of the reset connecting piece 42. At the same time, the abutting rod 43 movably penetrates the mounting seat 1 and abuts against one of the connecting plates 22. In work, the rotation of the connecting plate 22 drives the abutting rod 43 to rotate, and in the process of resetting the connecting piece 2, the micro-cylinder 41 works to make the power output shaft of the micro-cylinder 41 extend or retract. Since the reset connecting piece 42 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 1 and movably connected to the power output shaft of the micro-cylinder 41, the reset connecting piece 42 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the abutting rod 43 to rotate, so as to drive the connecting piece 2 to rotate and reset the connecting piece 2.

[0044] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 44 extends to the inside of the mounting base 1, so as to facilitate the mounting of the rotating shaft 44 to the mounting base 1, and meanwhile improve the stability of the connection between the rotating shaft 44 and the mounting base 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the mounting of the rotating shaft 44.

[0045] In some embodiments, the reset assembly 4 further comprises an abutting bolt 45, one side of the reset connecting plate 42 abutting to the rotating shaft 44, and the other side of the reset connecting plate 42 abutting to the abutting bolt 45 which is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 44, so as to limit the reset connecting plate 42, improve the stability of the rotation of the reset connecting plate 42, and facilitate the dismounting of the reset connecting plate 42 and the rotating shaft 44 by rotating the abutting bolt 45.

[0046] In some embodiments, the abutting rod 43 is threadedly connected to the reset connecting plate 42, so as to facilitate the mounting of the reset connecting plate 42 and the abutting rod 43.

[0047] In some embodiments, the rod detection device further comprises a rotating member 5, the rotating member 5 comprising a rotating column 51 fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base 1, and two connecting plates movably penetrating the rotating column 51, so as to rotatably connect the connecting member 2 to the rotating column 51, thereby realizing the rotation between the connecting member 2 and the mounting base 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, the rotating member 5 further comprises two buckles 52, the rotating column 51 penetrating the mounting base 1, and the two buckles 52 respectively opening into the two ends of the rotating column 51 and abutting to the mounting base 1, so as to realize the detachable connection between the rotating column 51 and the mounting base 1, thereby facilitating the mounting and dismounting of the connecting member 2.

[0049] The implementation principle of the present embodiment is as follows: in actual application, in the initial state, the abutting plate 21 is in the vertical state, and the induction plate 23 located at one side of the abutting plate 21 is located above the sensor 3, during the pushing of the rod by the pushing mechanism of the rod feeding machine, one end of the rod first abuts to the abutting plate 21, so that the connecting member 2 rotates, and the abutting plate 21 changes from the vertical state to the horizontal state, and then the rod continues to move, so that the circumferential side of the rod abuts to the abutting plate 21, at this time, the induction plate 23 is located at one side of the sensor 3, so that the sensor 3 detects that there is a rod in the feeding track.

[0050] In some embodiments, the reset assembly 4 further comprises an abutting bolt 45, one side of the reset connecting plate 42 abutting to the rotating shaft 44, and the other side of the reset connecting plate 42 abutting to the abutting bolt 45 which is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 44, so as to limit the reset connecting plate 42, improve the stability of the rotation of the reset connecting plate 42, and facilitate the dismounting of the reset connecting plate 42 and the rotating shaft 44 by rotating the abutting bolt 45.
