[0002] Bar stock is a common part processed by special-purpose machine tools. Special-purpose machine tools are used to process bar stock by "flattening both end faces and drilling center holes". Currently, bar stock processing involves placing a bar stock box next to the special-purpose machine tool, manually placing the bar stock onto the machine tool and clamping it, then starting the machine tool to process both end faces and center holes; after processing by the special-purpose machine tool, the semi-finished bar stock is manually unloaded and placed into a semi-finished product box.

Bar stock 9 is placed in the vibrating storage bin 3. When the vibrating motor 16 operates, the vibrating storage bin 3 vibrates slightly, allowing the bar stock 9 to fall smoothly into the feeding trough 4. The vibrating storage bin 3 stores more than 100 bars of bar stock 9. A real-time weighing device is installed at the bottom of the vibrating storage bin 3, which can weigh the bin (including the bar stock 9) in real time. The real-time weighing device is electrically connected to the control cabinet 17 so that the control cabinet 17 can issue an alarm when the weight is less than a threshold.

[0046] The bar stock 9 falls from the discharge port of the vibrating storage bin 3 into the feeding trough 4. The bar stock pushing cylinder 5 can push the bar stock 9 into the positioning groove 19, waiting for the robot arm 6 to grab the bar stock 9.

[0052] The working process of an automatic feeding system for bar stock processing according to this utility model is as follows:

[0053] 1. When the vibrating motor 16 is working, the vibrating storage bin 3 vibrates slightly, and the bar stock 9 falls from the discharge port of the vibrating storage bin 3 into the feeding trough 4. The bar stock pushing cylinder 5 can push the bar stock 9 into the positioning groove 19, waiting for the robot arm 6 to grab the bar stock 9.

[0054] 2. X-axis cylinder 601 and Y-axis cylinder 602 control the movement of the robotic arm 6, Z-axis cylinder 603 controls the lifting and lowering of the robotic arm 6, and gripper cylinder 604 controls the opening and closing of the gripper 607. When the robotic arm 6 is at the origin position, first X-axis cylinder 601 and Y-axis cylinder 602 are activated, and the robotic arm 6 moves to directly above the bar stock 9 in the positioning groove 19. Then, gripper cylinder 604 is activated, and gripper 607 opens. At the same time, Z-axis cylinder 603 is activated, and after the robotic arm 6 descends to the position, gripper cylinder 604 is activated, and gripper 607 closes, clamping the bar stock 9. After clamping the bar stock 9, the Z-axis cylinder 603 is activated, and the robot arm moves upward into position. Then, the Y-axis cylinder 602 and the X-axis cylinder 601 are activated, and the robot arm 6 moves to above the V-shaped positioning block 7. The Z-axis cylinder 603 is activated, and the robot arm 6 descends into position. Then, the gripper cylinder 604 is activated, and the gripper 607 opens, placing the bar stock 9 on the V-shaped positioning block 7. The Z-axis cylinder 603 is activated, and the robot arm moves upward into position. Then, the X-axis cylinder 601 is activated, and the robot arm moves forward and stops outside the processing area of ​​the special machine tool 2, making it convenient for the special machine tool 2 to process the bar stock 9.

[0055] 3. The swing cylinder 13 actuates, and the clamping jaws 8 clamp the bar stock 9, realizing the clamping function of the bar stock 9 for easy processing. Then the special machine tool 2 works, first flattening the end face of the bar stock 9, and then drilling the center hole. After the bar stock 9 is processed, the swing cylinder 13 actuates, and the clamping jaws 8 release the bar stock 9, waiting for the robot arm 6 to grab the bar stock 9.

[0056] 4. When X-axis cylinder 601 is activated, the robot arm 6 moves backward to above the V-shaped positioning block 7. When Z-axis cylinder 603 is activated, the robot arm 6 moves downward to its designated position. Then, gripper cylinder 604 is activated, and gripper 607 closes to clamp the bar stock 9 on the V-shaped positioning block 7. When Z-axis cylinder 603 is activated, the robot arm 6 moves upward to its designated position. When X-axis cylinder 601 is activated, the robot arm moves forward to above the input end of the trough conveyor belt 10. When Z-axis cylinder 603 is activated, the robot arm 6 moves downward. Then, gripper cylinder 604 is activated, and gripper 607 releases the bar stock 9 onto the trough conveyor belt 10. When Z-axis cylinder 603 is activated, the robot arm moves upward to its designated position. Then, Y-axis cylinder 602 is activated, and the robot arm moves to the left to above the positioning groove 19 to begin the next material handling and feeding cycle.

[0057] 5. The bar stock 9 moves with the trough conveyor belt 10 and rolls into the semi-finished product hopper 11. After the semi-finished product hopper 11 is full, it is moved into the warehouse for storage.
