Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lathe material guiding, specifically to a material guiding mechanism for a large horizontal lathe. Background Technology
[0002] A large horizontal lathe is a machine tool mainly used for metal processing. Its characteristics are that the workpiece is processed in the horizontal direction through the machining area between the working head and the tailstock. The spindle is arranged horizontally, which can process workpieces with large diameter and long length. It is widely used in many fields such as machinery manufacturing, aerospace, and automobile manufacturing. Precise cutting of workpieces is achieved through the linear motion of the cutting tool and the rotational motion of the workpiece.
[0003] In the current technology, horizontal lathes have a fixed material guiding structure during the material guiding process, which limits their adaptability to shaft workpieces of different diameters. Furthermore, due to the limited level of automation, manual intervention is usually required, which not only increases labor costs but also reduces production efficiency. Horizontal lathes often require manual loading, positioning, and adjustment of workpieces to accommodate shaft workpieces of different diameters. This process is cumbersome and prone to errors, affecting machining accuracy and production efficiency.
[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.
[0023] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a material guiding mechanism for a large horizontal lathe is provided.
[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the material guiding mechanism for a large horizontal lathe according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a control panel 2 and a support frame 3 arranged sequentially on one side of the horizontal lathe 1. An adjustment component 4 that cooperates with the horizontal lathe 1 is provided at the top of the support frame 3. A pushing component 5 is provided on one side of the adjustment component 4, and a feed port 6 is provided on the other side of the adjustment component 4. A feeding component 7 that cooperates with the adjustment component 4 is provided on one side of the feed port 6.
[0025] With the help of the above technical solutions, this utility model, through the combined action of the pushing component 5 and the feeding component 7, can significantly improve the automation level of the processing flow, ensure that materials are accurately and efficiently fed into the processing area of the horizontal lathe 1, reduce the tediousness and time consumption of manual operation, and enhance the consistency and accuracy of processing, thereby greatly improving production efficiency and product quality. Under the action of the adjusting component 4, shaft workpieces can be flexibly adjusted to different heights, ensuring that the relative position of the center of shaft workpieces of different diameters with the horizontal lathe 1 remains unchanged, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of processing, effectively avoiding processing errors caused by workpiece position offset, thus ensuring the consistency and high standard of product quality, and also helping to improve processing efficiency and the utilization rate of the horizontal lathe 1.
[0026] It should be explained that the horizontal lathe 1 is a large horizontal lathe. The horizontal lathe 1 fixes the shaft workpiece with a horizontally arranged spindle and chuck or center, and uses the cutting tool to move linearly along the bed guide rail to realize machining operations such as turning, drilling, boring, and grooving of the shaft workpiece. This is existing technology and will not be explained in detail here.
[0027] In one embodiment, the adjustment component 4 includes a motor 401 disposed at the top of the support frame 3. One end of the output shaft of the motor 401 is provided with a lead screw 402 that cooperates with the support frame 3. A movable seat 403 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 402. A limiting rod 404 that cooperates with the support frame 3 is symmetrically provided on one side of the movable seat 403. Thus, it can accommodate shaft-type workpieces of different diameters.
[0028] The working principle of adjustment component 4 is as follows:
[0029] By controlling and starting the motor 401 in the adjustment component 4 through the control panel 2, the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 401 drives the lead screw 402 to rotate. Under the rotation of the lead screw 402, the movable seat 403 moves vertically along the limit rod 404.
[0030] In one embodiment, the pushing component 5 includes a limiting groove 501 formed at the top of the movable seat 403. An electric push rod 502 that cooperates with the movable seat 403 is provided on one side of the limiting groove 501. A push plate 503 that cooperates with the limiting groove 501 is provided at one end of the output shaft of the electric push rod 502. A limiting rod 504 that penetrates the movable seat 403 is provided at the top of the push plate 503. The limiting groove 501 is V-shaped. Thus, shaft-type workpieces can be pushed into the horizontal lathe 1.
[0031] The working principle of push component 5 is as follows:
[0032] By controlling and activating the electric push rod 502 in the push assembly 5 through the control panel 2, the push plate 503 is driven to move horizontally along the limiting groove 501 under the extension and retraction action of the output shaft of the electric push rod 502. At the same time, the stability of the movement of the push plate 503 is ensured by the action of the limiting rod 504.
[0033] In one embodiment, the feeding assembly 7 includes a second limiting groove 701 formed on one side of the movable seat 403 and cooperating with the feed inlet 6. The second limiting groove 701 is provided with a slider 702 that cooperates with the first limiting groove 501. The bottom end of the slider 702 is provided with an electric push rod 703 that cooperates with the movable seat 403. The top end of the slider 702 is provided with an inclined surface 704 that cooperates with the feed inlet 6 and the first limiting groove 501. Thus, the feeding operation can be automated.
[0034] The working principle of the feeding component 7 is as follows:
[0035] Using the control panel 2, the electric push rod 703 in the feeding assembly 7 is controlled and started. Under the extension action of the output shaft of the electric push rod 703, the slider 702 is driven to rise vertically until the inclined surface 704 at the top of the slider 702 contacts the limiting groove 501 in the pushing assembly 5. At this time, the shaft workpiece at the top of the inclined surface 704 rolls into the limiting groove 501. Then, the electric push rod 703 in the feeding assembly 7 is controlled and started again. Under the shortening action of the output shaft of the electric push rod 703, the inclined surface 704 and the feed port 6 are kept at the same inclination, and the shaft workpiece rolls into the top of the inclined surface 704.
[0036] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.
[0037] In practical applications, firstly, based on the diameter of the shaft workpiece, the motor 401 in the adjusting assembly 4 is controlled and started via the control panel 2. Under the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 401, the movable seat 403 is driven to move vertically along the limiting rod 404, so that the center of the shaft workpiece falling into the top of the limiting groove 501 in the pushing assembly 5 is consistent with the position of entering the horizontal lathe 1. Then, the shaft workpiece falls into the inclined surface 704 in the loading assembly 7 through the feed port 6. The electric push rod 703 is controlled and started via the control panel 2. Under the extension of the output shaft of the electric push rod 703, the inclined surface 704 contacts the limiting groove 501, so that the shaft workpiece falls into the limiting groove 501. Then, the electric push rod 502 is controlled and started via the control panel 2. Under the extension of the output shaft of the electric push rod 502, the push plate 503 is driven to push the shaft workpiece into the horizontal lathe 1.
[0038] The working principles of adjustment component 4, pushing component 5 and feeding component 7 are as described above.
[0039] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the present utility model, with the combined action of the pushing component 5 and the feeding component 7, can significantly improve the automation level of the processing flow, ensure that materials are accurately and efficiently fed into the processing area of the horizontal lathe 1, reduce the tediousness and time consumption of manual operation, and enhance the consistency and accuracy of processing, thereby greatly improving production efficiency and product quality. Under the action of the adjusting component 4, shaft-type workpieces can be flexibly adjusted to different heights, ensuring that the relative position of the center of shaft-type workpieces of different diameters with the horizontal lathe 1 remains unchanged, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of processing, effectively avoiding processing errors caused by workpiece position offset, thus ensuring the consistency and high standards of product quality, and also helping to improve processing efficiency and the utilization rate of the horizontal lathe 1.
