[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 According to an embodiment of this utility model, an automated loading and unloading device for machine tools is provided, which is used in conjunction with a machine tool. The machine tool includes a headstock 1 and a chuck 2 disposed on one side of the headstock 1. The automated loading and unloading device for machine tools includes a base 3, an outer cylinder 4, a rotating component 5, and a feed box 6. The base 3 is disposed on the side of the headstock 1 with the chuck 2, and the outer cylinder 4 is slidably connected to the base 3 laterally. Figure 1 In the middle, the horizontal direction is left and right. The outer cylinder 4 is provided with a clamping port 7 on the side facing the chuck 2. The bottom of the outer cylinder 4 is provided with a discharge port 8. A first motor 9 is provided between the base 3 and the outer cylinder 4 to drive the outer cylinder 4 to move horizontally. The rotating part 5 is a columnar structure. The rotating part 5 is located inside the outer cylinder 4 and is driven to rotate by a second motor 10. Specifically, the housing of the second motor 10 is fixed on the outer cylinder 4. The output shaft of the second motor 10 is coaxially fixed with the rotating part 5. Several slots 11 are provided on the side wall of the rotating part 5. Specifically, there are four slots 11. The four slots 11 are arranged equidistantly along the circumference of the rotating part 5. The feed box 6 is located on the outside of the outer cylinder 4 and its bottom is connected to the side of the outer cylinder 4.

[0023] The machine tool automatic feeding and discharging device with the above structure can automatically realize feeding and discharging of the workpiece 15 without manual intervention, and can meet the needs of efficient and large-batch production.

[0024] In the example embodiment, the base 3 is provided with a waste groove 12 and a receiving groove 13 arranged opposite to each other in the transverse direction. In this way, when the workpiece 15 is clamped by the chuck 2 and processed, the waste generated during processing can directly fall into the waste groove 12 and be collected. In addition, during discharging, the discharge port 8 at the bottom of the outer cylinder 4 can be aligned with the receiving groove 13, so that the workpiece 15 removed can directly fall into the receiving groove 13, achieving collection of the workpiece 15 that has been processed. Of course, in order to avoid damage to the workpiece 15, a rubber pad can also be laid at the bottom of the receiving groove 13.

[0025] In the example embodiment, the feeding box 6 and the outer cylinder 4 are communicated through the communication port 14, and the width of the communication port 14 is adapted to the diameter of the workpiece 15. Specifically, the width of the communication port 14 is slightly larger than the diameter of the workpiece 15. In this way, it can be ensured that the number of workpieces 15 entering the slot 11 at a time is one, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of jamming.

[0026] In order to realize the lateral sliding connection of the outer cylinder 4 to the base 3, in the example embodiment, the bottom of the outer cylinder 4 is fixedly provided with two support legs 16, the bottom of the two support legs 16 is fixedly provided with sliding blocks 17, and the base 3 is fixedly provided with sliding rails 18 which are in sliding cooperation with the sliding blocks 17. Of course, as long as the lateral sliding connection of the outer cylinder 4 to the base 3 can be realized, the specific connection form between the outer cylinder 4 and the base 3 is not particularly limited.

[0027] In the example embodiment, the shell of the first motor 9 is fixed on the support leg 16, the output shaft of the first motor 9 is fixedly connected with a driving gear 19, and the base 3 is fixedly provided with a rack 20 which is in engagement with the driving gear 19.
