[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a turntable 110 conveying device, including: a base 100 on which a turntable 110 is rotatably mounted; multiple fixing mechanisms 200 arranged circumferentially around the turntable 110, each fixing mechanism 200 including a pin 210 disposed on the turntable 110 and used for mounting workpieces; a conveying track 300 disposed above the turntable 110, corresponding to the fixing mechanisms 200; and a discharge mechanism 400 including a push rod 410, a push rod 420, a first end face cam 430, and a second end face cam 440. The push rod 410 and push rod 420 are slidably disposed on the turntable 110. The push rod 420 is located downstream of the push rod 410. The first end face cam 430 and the second end face cam 440 are disposed on the machine base 100 and located below the turntable 110. The first end face cam 430 and the second end face cam 440 correspond to the push rod 410 and the push rod 420, respectively. The push rod 410 can lift the workpiece and send it into the inlet of the conveying track 300 under the action of the first end face cam 430. The push rod 420 can push the workpiece at the inlet of the conveying track 300 into the conveying track 300 under the action of the second end face cam 440.

[0028] The workpiece is mounted on the pin 210; the turntable 110 rotates to drive the workpiece to rotate, thereby realizing the conveying of the workpiece; as the turntable 110 continues to rotate, the push rod 410 contacts the first end face cam 430 and rises with the rising surface of the first end face cam 430, so that the push rod 410, under the action of the first end face cam 430, lifts the workpiece and sends it into the entrance of the conveying track 300; at the same time, the push rod 420 contacts the second end face cam 440 and rises with the rising surface of the second end face cam 440, so that the push rod 420, under the action of the second end face cam 440, pushes the workpiece at the entrance of the conveying track 300 into the conveying track 300, thereby realizing the automatic discharge of the workpiece. By using the first end face cam 430 and the second end face cam 440 to realize the rising of the push rod 410 and the push rod 420 respectively, the automatic discharge of the workpiece is realized. The result is simple, the operation is convenient, the production cost is reduced, and the work efficiency is improved.

[0029] In this configuration, the first end face cam 430 is located inside the second end face cam 440, and the highest point of the first end face cam 430 is lower than the highest point of the second end face cam 440. Therefore, the push rod 420 is located on the side of the push rod 410 away from the axis of the turntable 110. When the push rod 410 feeds the workpiece into the entrance of the conveyor track 300 and descends along the descending surface of the first end face cam 430, the push rod 420 rises along the ascending surface of the second end face cam 440, thereby pushing the workpiece at the entrance of the conveyor track 300 into the conveyor track 300. This not only achieves automatic workpiece discharge but also facilitates the entry of the next workpiece into the conveyor track 300. Furthermore, the entrance of the conveyor track 300 is provided with a clearance opening 310, which is used to avoid the push rod 410 and the push rod 420, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the operation.

[0030] It should be noted that the first end face cam 430 can also be located outside the second end face cam 440, and the push rod 420 is located on the side of the push rod 410 close to the axis of the turntable 110. In this case, the push rod 420 can also push the material. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4In this embodiment, multiple push rods 410 are provided, arranged circumferentially around the pin 210 to ensure the balance of the workpiece when it is lifted, preventing the workpiece from tilting and falling. Furthermore, a sleeve 220 is provided at the bottom of the pin 210, extending towards the bottom of the turntable 110. A mounting seat 230 is slidably fitted onto the sleeve 220. The push rods 410 are mounted on the mounting seat 230 and pass through the turntable 110. The mounting seat 230 is adapted to the first end face cam 430. As the turntable 110 rotates, when the mounting seat 230 contacts the first end face cam 430 and rises along the rising surface of the first end face cam 430, the mounting seat 230 drives multiple push rods 410 to rise simultaneously, causing multiple push rods 410 to simultaneously approach and lift the workpiece, thus sending the workpiece into the entrance of the conveyor track 300. By setting the mounting base 230, multiple push rods 410 can be raised simultaneously, ensuring operational stability and reliability. A first return spring 240 is provided between the sleeve 220 and the mounting base 230, allowing the mounting base 230 to drive multiple push rods 410 to descend simultaneously away from the workpiece under the action of the first return spring 240. This design is simple in structure and easy to operate.

[0032] As can be conceived, the turntable 110 is equipped with a fixing rod 250, the mounting base 230 is slidably sleeved on the fixing rod 250, and a fixing block 260 is provided at the bottom of the fixing rod 250. The mounting base 230 is mounted on the turntable 110 via the fixing rod 250, resulting in a simple structure and easy operation. It is also easy to understand that a disc 270 is positioned above the turntable 110 via the pin 210, the workpiece is placed on the disc 270, and the push rod 410 passes through the disc 270. By supporting the workpiece with the disc 270, the contact area between the fixing mechanism 200 and the workpiece is increased, improving the workpiece's balance and stability.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4In this embodiment, a limiting rod 450 is provided below the turntable 110 for the push rod 420. The axis of the limiting rod 450 is perpendicular to the axis of the push rod 420, and a second return spring 460 is provided between the limiting rod 450 and the turntable 110. When the push rod 420 rises along the rising surface of the second end face cam 440, the second return spring 460 is compressed. When the push rod 420 leaves the highest point of the second end face cam 440 and moves towards the falling surface, the push rod 420 can descend with the falling surface under the action of the second return spring 460, thereby realizing the automatic retraction of the push rod 420. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. It can be understood that a limiting block 470 is provided on the upper part of the push rod 420, and the limiting block 470 abuts against the turntable 110 to limit the descent height of the push rod 420. By setting a limit block 470 on the upper part of the push rod, when the push rod 420 descends, the limit block 470 abuts against the turntable 110, thereby limiting the push rod 420 from continuing to descend, thus preventing the push rod 420 from disengaging from the turntable 110 and affecting the normal operation of the work, and improving the stability and reliability of the work.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the machine base 100 is provided with a feeding tray 120, which is located on one side of the turntable 110. An opening is provided on the side of the feeding tray 120 closest to the turntable 110. By providing the feeding tray 120, workpieces can be stored on it. Then, it is only necessary to remove the workpiece from the feeding tray 120 and install it onto the pin 210, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency. Of course, workpiece retrieval can also be performed by a robotic arm. In this case, the workpieces on the feeding tray 120 need to be neatly stacked, thereby achieving intelligent operation.

[0035] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
