[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-7As shown, this embodiment proposes a ceramic insert length processing device, including a fixed frame 1, a top material frame 7 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 1, and a feeding frame 6 fixedly connected to the left end of the fixed frame 1 via a bracket. The feeding frame 6 and the top material frame 7 are close to each other. A top material mechanism for feeding products into the feeding frame 6 is provided on the right side of the top material frame 7. The product is fed into the top material frame 7 by an external vibrating hopper. The top material mechanism can promptly feed unprocessed products into the feeding frame 6 after the previous products are processed, thereby achieving orderly product falling into the feeding frame 6 for subsequent feeding. The top material frame 7 is elastically provided with a material distribution mechanism to avoid jamming, and the top material mechanism drives the material distribution mechanism to move within the top material frame 7. With the top feeding mechanism, products are effectively pushed in, avoiding machine malfunctions and product scrap caused by jamming at the head and tail of two products. With the feeding frame 6, multiple products can be fed in a concentrated manner, solving the problem of feeding difficulties caused by the light weight of a single product. The bottom of the feeding frame 6 is equipped with a pressing mechanism. With the pressing mechanism, when the vibrating hopper is short of material, the product in the feeding frame 6 is pressed down to prevent machine malfunctions and poor product processing caused by insufficient material or disordered sorting of products in the feeding frame 6. The machinery, parts and equipment in this device all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] The solution in Example 1 will be further described below with reference to its specific working method.

[0028] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the top material frame 7 has a discharge trough 11 and a top material trough 13 on its front side. The top of the top material frame 7 is fixedly connected to a feeding pipe 5, and the bottom end of the feeding pipe 5 is connected to the discharge trough 11, so that the product is conveyed to the feeding pipe 5 through the external vibrating hopper, slides down to the bottom of the discharge trough 11, and falls into the top material trough 13. Then, it is pushed into the feeding frame 6 by the top material mechanism.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a feeding hole 10 is provided on the right side of the top of the feeding frame 6, and the feeding hole 10 corresponds to the top material groove 13. With the setting of the feeding hole 10 and the top material groove 13, the product can be accurately fed from the top material groove 13 into the feeding hole 10 and finally fall into the feeding frame 6.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the top material mechanism includes a first cylinder 2, which is mounted on a fixed frame 1. The telescopic end of the first cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to a top material rod 3, and the left end of the top material rod 3 slides into the top material groove 13. A push block 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the top material rod 3. With the above structure, when the product slides into the top material groove 13, the first cylinder 2 can control the top material rod 3 to slide in the top material groove 13, so that the left end of the top material groove 13 pushes the product into the feeding frame 6.

[0031] like Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the material distribution mechanism includes a sliding groove 17 and a segmented material plate 14. The sliding groove 17 is located on the back of the top material frame 7. The segmented material plate 14 is elastically slidably disposed within the sliding groove 17. The surface of the push block 4 corresponds to the segmented material plate 14. A guide groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the sliding groove 17, and the guide groove 12 is located at the bottom of the discharge groove 11. A stop block 20 is fixedly connected to the front of the segmented material plate 14, and the stop block 20 slides within the guide groove 12 and is located at the bottom of the discharge groove 11. With the above structure, when the product is pushed from the top material groove 13 into the feeding frame 6, the push block 4 will also push the segmented material plate 14 along with it. The segment plate 14 moves to the left, causing the stop block 20 to slide to the left within the guide groove 12. This allows the products in the discharge groove 11 to slide smoothly down and land on the top material rod 3, preventing them from falling directly into the top material groove 13. When the top material rod 3 moves to the right, the segment plate 14 will automatically reset, separating the stop block 20 between the discharge groove 11 and the top material groove 13. Then, the products on the top material rod 3 will automatically fall into the top material groove 13 for subsequent feeding. This effectively prevents machine malfunctions caused by jamming at the head and tail of products and product scrap caused by jamming.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing mechanism includes a second cylinder 9, which is mounted on the back of the feeding frame 6 via a bracket. The telescopic end of the second cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to a moving plate 8, and one end of the moving plate 8 is fixedly connected to a pressing rod 18. With the above structure, the product in the feeding frame 6 can be pressed down when the vibrating hopper is short of material to prevent machine failure and poor product processing caused by insufficient material or disordered sorting of the product in the feeding frame 6.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, a guide rod 15 and a compression spring 16 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 17. A guide hole 19 is provided on the left side of the segmented material plate 14. The segmented material plate 14 is sleeved on the guide rod 15 through the guide hole 19. The right end of the compression spring 16 is fixedly connected to the left side of the segmented material plate 14. When the push block 4 is not in contact with the segmented material plate 14, the compression spring 16 will squeeze the segmented material plate 14 to move to the right, thereby causing the stop block 20 to slide to the right in the guide groove 12 and block the product at the bottom of the discharge groove 11 from sliding down. When the segmented material plate 14 is pushed by the push block 4, the compression spring 16 will be compressed. With the above structure, the segmented material plate 14 can drive the stop block 20 to automatically reset in the sliding groove 17, thereby automatically transporting products in segments between the discharge groove 11 and the top groove 13.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the product is conveyed to the feeding pipe 5 through an external vibrating hopper and slides down into the discharge trough 11. When the product is in the top trough 13, the first cylinder 2 drives the top rod 3 to move to the left in the top trough 13, pushing the product through the feeding hole 10 and into the feeding frame 6. As the product is pushed from the top trough 13 into the feeding frame 6, the push block 4 also pushes the segmented material plate 14 to the left, causing the stop block 20 to slide to the left in the guide groove 12. This allows the product in the discharge trough 11 to slide smoothly down and onto the top rod 3, preventing it from falling directly into the top trough 13. This continues until the top rod 3 moves to the right. The segmented material plate 14 will also automatically reset, separating the stop block 20 from the feed trough 11 and the top feed trough 13. Then, the products on the top feed rod 3 will automatically fall into the top feed trough 13 for subsequent pushing and feeding. This effectively prevents machine failures caused by the head and tail of the products getting stuck and product scrap caused by the jamming. By repeating the above steps, multiple products can be fed into the feeding frame 6 in a concentrated manner, solving the problem of feeding difficulties caused by the light weight of a single product. When the vibrating hopper is short of material, the operation of the second cylinder 9 can be used to pull the moving plate 8 to move, thereby causing the pressure rod 18 to block the products in the feeding frame 6, so as to prevent machine failures and poor product processing caused by the lack of material or disordered sorting of products in the feeding frame 6.
