DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The specific embodiments of the utility model are further explained in detail by comparing the drawings and describing the embodiments, the purpose is to help the technical personnel in the field to have more complete, accurate and deep understanding of the inventive concept and technical scheme of the utility model, and to help its implementation.
[0021] For example, Figure 1 And Figure 4As shown, the laundry machine rotating shaft feeding and discharging device includes a bottom plate 1, the bottom plate 1 is provided with an upper feeding groove 2 and a lower discharging groove 3, the upper side of the bottom plate 1 is provided with a guide rail 4, the guide rail 4 is provided with a sliding block 6, the bottom end of the sliding block 6 is fixedly connected with a vertical air cylinder 7, and the output end of the vertical air cylinder 7 is connected with a grabbing structure. The upper feeding groove 2 and the lower discharging groove 3 are respectively used for feeding and discharging parts, the guide rail 4 is fixed on the bottom plate 1 through a support 5, the moving power of the sliding block 6 is provided by an external power equipment of the device, the vertical air cylinder 7 can move the grabbing point of the grabbing structure to the same height as the part, the sliding block 6 moves along the guide rail 4 to realize the transverse movement of the grabbing structure, and the conveying process of the part is satisfied.
[0022] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 The grabbing structure includes a bidirectional air cylinder 8, the output ends of the bidirectional air cylinder 8 are connected with connecting frames 11, the bottom of each connecting frame 11 is detachably connected with a connecting rod 12, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected with a sleeve ring 13. Since the outer diameters of the laundry machine rotating shafts are not uniform, the outer diameters of the two ends are different, the two conveying ends of the bidirectional air cylinder 8 are respectively connected with two connecting frames 11, the two connecting frames 11 drive the two sleeve rings 13 to move in opposite directions or towards each other, when the sleeve ring 13 is coaxial with the part, the two sleeve rings 13 move towards each other to grab the two ends of the part, that is, the grabbing position of the part of the laundry machine rotating shaft is avoided, the two ends of the part are supported, the problem of unstable center of gravity of the part and difficult taking and placing is solved, manual operation is saved, labor intensity is reduced, and production efficiency is improved; the grabbing of the two ends of the part by the sleeve ring 13 is adapted to the rolling feeding and discharging conveying process of the part, so that the device has no redundant action during operation and has high smoothness.
[0023] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 The bottom of the connecting frame 11 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 14, and the waist-shaped hole 14 is connected with the top of the connecting rod 12 through a bolt 15. The bolt 15 is used to detachably connect the connecting rod 12, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. For different models of rotating shaft parts, only the sleeve ring 13 with a corresponding hole diameter needs to be replaced to adapt to the device, thereby improving the application range of the device; the bolt 15 and the waist-shaped hole 14 form an installation position adjustment of the connecting rod 12, which can ensure that the axes of the two sleeve rings 13 are collinear, so that the posture of the grabbed part is stable and horizontal, and the grabbing and conveying process is stable and reliable.
[0024] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 The upper feeding groove 2 and the lower discharging groove 3 are arranged side by side, the upper feeding groove 2 and the lower discharging groove 3 are both inclined, and the inclinations of the upper feeding groove 2 and the lower discharging groove 3 are opposite. The inclined design of the upper feeding groove 2 and the lower discharging groove 3 can make the part roll and transport by using its own weight, thereby saving the use of conveying equipment and saving equipment cost; the design that the upper feeding groove 2 and the lower discharging groove 3 are arranged side by side and have opposite inclinations makes the feeding and discharging operations of the production personnel be on the same side of the workbench, improves the convenience and production efficiency of the operation, and makes the production personnel away from the running part of the equipment, thereby reducing the safety risk and improving the reliability of the equipment operation.
[0025] As Figure 2 shown, the slider 6 bottom is L-shaped structure, the slider 6 bottom is equipped with sleeve 9, two-way cylinder 8 is fixedly connected with guide rod 10, guide rod 10 passes through sleeve 9. The above structure plays a guiding role in the lifting process of two-way cylinder 8.

The limiting rod 17 plays a contact limiting role on both ends of the part, and the stopper 19 is used to abut against the part to form positioning, which facilitates the grabbing of the sleeve ring 13. After the previous part is grabbed, the next part automatically slides to contact and position with the stopper 19, so that the positioning process is saved. The two limiting supports 16 can also be adjusted in the installation position on the base plate 1 through the connecting piece to achieve the purpose of adjusting the spacing, so as to meet the limiting of parts of different lengths.
[0027] As Figure 4 shown, the two sides of the discharging groove 3 are provided with flanges 20. The flanges 20 play a contact limiting role on both ends of the part, ensuring smooth discharging process without obstruction.
[0028] The working process is as follows: the batch of parts to be processed are placed in the feeding groove 2 in turn, the parts at the bottom end of the feeding groove 2 are stopped and positioned by the stopper 19, the device is operated, the slider 6 moves to the top of the bottom end of the feeding groove 2 under the external power, the two-way cylinder 8 is started to make the two sleeve rings 13 move in opposite directions, the vertical cylinder 7 is started to drive the sleeve ring 13 to descend, the two-way cylinder 8 is operated to make the two sleeve rings 13 move towards each other, so that the two ends of the part are respectively sleeved by the two sleeve rings 13, that is, the part is stably grabbed, the next part rolls to the stopper 19 to contact and position under the action of gravity, and then the part is conveyed to the machining equipment under the driving of the vertical cylinder 7 and the slider 6. After the part is machined, the part is grabbed above the discharging groove 3, the two sleeve rings 13 move in opposite directions to release the part, and the part automatically slides to the collecting frame along with the discharging groove 3, and the machining process of the subsequent part is the same as above.
