[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] This utility model provides a feeding device for automotive interior parts. It has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This automotive interior parts feeding device uses several guide rods arranged parallel to each other at the bottom of the truss. Rotating the adjusting screw pushes the guide rods to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the spacing between the guide rods. Several piercing components are installed at the bottom of each guide rod. The piercing components pierce into the sheet metal to transport the sheet metal. A conveyor belt is also installed on the frame. The piercing components can transport the sheet metal onto the conveyor belt for feeding. The sheet metal handling efficiency is high, saving labor and ensuring neat placement of the sheet metal. By pushing the hanging rods to slide along the guide rods, the spacing between the several hanging rods installed on the guide rods can be adjusted and fixed. The hanging rods affect the position where the piercing needles pierce the sheet metal, which can be adjusted according to the size of the sheet metal, resulting in better adaptability.

[0025] A type of automotive interior parts feeding equipment, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0026] A base 10 and a frame 11 fixedly mounted on the base 10; a railcar 12 is slidably mounted on the base 10; and a truss 13 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the frame 11.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment assembly is installed on the output shaft of the truss 13. The adjustment assembly includes several guide rods 15 with adjustable spacing, a guide rail 14, and an adjustment screw 16. The guide rail 14 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the truss 13. The two sides of the guide rail 14 form slide rails, and sliders are slidably arranged in the slide rails. The guide rods 15 are fixedly connected to the sliders. The adjustment screw 16 is rotatably connected to the guide rail 14 and threadedly connected to each slider. The sliders form U-shaped blocks. The sliders are slidably connected to the grooves on the two sides of the guide rail 14. The side wall of the slider is provided with an integrally formed ear plate. The ear plate wall is provided with a threaded hole. The adjustment screw 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the ear plate. The guide rod 15 is provided with a slot along its radial direction. A locking block is fixedly provided on the top of the hanging rod 17. The locking block is slidably arranged in the slot and is threadedly connected to a bolt.

[0028] In this design, truss 13 is a three-axis truss. Truss 13 can be lifted, moved left and right, and pushed forward and backward. Several guide rods 15 are arranged parallel to each other at the bottom of truss 13. By rotating the adjusting screw 16, the adjusting screw 16 pushes each guide rod 15 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the row spacing of the guide rods 15. Several piercing components are installed at the bottom of each guide rod 15. The piercing components pierce into the plate to realize the transport of the plate. A conveyor belt is also installed on the frame 11. The piercing components can transport the plate onto the conveyor belt to realize the loading. The plate handling efficiency is high, labor is saved, and the plate is placed in a neat position.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the piercing assembly is set on one side of the guide rod 15 for gripping materials. The piercing assembly includes a lifting rod 17, a mounting box 20, a pusher cylinder 21, and piercing needles 22. The lifting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the mounting box 20 and slidably connected to the guide rod 15 and locked with bolts. Two pusher cylinders 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting box 20. Several piercing needles 22 are fixedly installed on the output shaft of each pusher cylinder 21. The pusher cylinder 21 can push the piercing needles 22 to pierce into the raw material. The piercing assembly also includes a mounting plate 23. The mounting box 20 forms a box structure. Two mounting plates 23 are slidably arranged inside the mounting box 20. The mounting plates 23 are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the pusher cylinder 21. The piercing needles 22 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting plates 23. The bottom of the mounting box 20 has a through groove adapted to the mounting plates 23. The mounting plates 23 are slidably arranged in the through groove. The mounting plates 23 form an L-shaped plate. Several piercing needles 22 are equidistantly arranged on the bottom of the mounting plates 23.

[0030] In this solution, by pushing the hanger 17 to slide along the guide rod 15, the spacing of the several hangers 17 installed on the guide rod 15 can be adjusted and fixed. The hanger 17 affects the position of the puncture needle 22 piercing the plate, which can be adjusted according to the size of the plate, thus improving adaptability.

[0031] The output shaft of the push cylinder 21 pushes the mounting plate 23 to slide in the through groove at the bottom of the mounting box 20. The two mounting plates 23, which are arranged in a figure-eight pattern, will push each piercing needle 22 to move. The two rows of piercing needles 22, which are arranged in a figure-eight pattern, pierce into the plate in opposite directions, thereby lifting the plate and realizing the transport of the plate. As the output shaft of the push cylinder 21 retracts, the piercing needles 22 disengage from the plate, thus realizing the material dropping.

[0032] The push cylinder 21 and the truss 13 need to be electrically connected to the control box fixed on one side of the frame 11 to control the transport of the plate.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The plate material is moved by the railcar 12. The truss 13 can be lifted, pushed left and right, and pushed back and forth. Several guide rods 15 are arranged in parallel at the bottom of the truss 13. The adjusting screw 16 is rotated to push the guide rods 15 to keep them moving synchronously, thereby adjusting the row spacing of the guide rods 15. A conveyor belt is also installed on the frame 11. The piercing component can transport the plate material to the conveyor belt for loading. The lifting rod 17 is pushed to slide along the guide rod 15, thereby adjusting and fixing the spacing of the several lifting rods 17 installed on the guide rod 15. The lifting rod 17 affects the position of the piercing needle 22 piercing the plate material, which can be adjusted according to the size of the plate material. The output shaft of the push cylinder 21 pushes the mounting plate 23 to slide in the through groove at the bottom of the mounting box 20. Then, the two mounting plates 23 arranged in a figure-eight pattern will push the piercing needles 22 to move. The two rows of piercing needles 22 arranged in a figure-eight pattern pierce into the plate material in opposite directions. As the truss 13 drives the piercing component to move, the plate material is transported.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
