[0025] Please refer to the following: A vertical side processing machine tool loading machine. Figure 1-5The system includes a machine tool 100 and a loading machine 200 connected to the machine tool 100. The machine tool 100 is a vertical machining center with a box-shaped structure and a vertical machining spindle inside the box. A machining table is provided within the machining area of ​​the machine tool 100. A front window is located on the front side of the machine tool 100, allowing for manual loading or observation of the internal machining process. The loading machine 200 is signal-interfaced with the machine tool 200, enabling mutual control between the product clamps within the machine tool 100 and the loading machine 200, thus achieving automatic loading and unloading. The loading machine 200 is located close to the side of the machine tool 100, ensuring that its position does not obstruct operators from working in front of the machine tool 100. The loading machine 200 is provided with a first guide rail 210 and a second guide rail 220 extending into the processing position of the machine tool 100. A first tray 230 and a second tray 240 are slidably mounted on the first guide rail 210 and the second guide rail 220, respectively. The product to be processed can be placed on the first tray 230 or the second tray 240. Then the tray enters the machine tool 100 along the slide rail to complete the loading and processing. After the processing is completed, it returns to the unloading position.

[0026] Furthermore, a linear module 300 is rotatably provided between the first pallet 230 and the second pallet 240. The linear module 300 is provided with a hooked support plate 310 that can move back and forth. The hooked support plate 310 can connect to and drive the first pallet 230 or the second pallet 240. The linear module 300 can be rotated to connect or disconnect the hooked support plate 310 from the first pallet 230 and the second pallet 240 respectively. The linear module 300 is located between the first pallet 230 and the second pallet 240 and can drive the two pallets 240 to load and unload materials respectively, realize the switching loading and unloading function, reduce the machine tool 100 downtime, and reduce the labor intensity of the operator.

[0027] Furthermore, the first tray 230 and the second tray 240, near the hooked support plate 310, are respectively equipped with a first hook 231 and a second hook 241 that can be connected to the hooked support plate 310. The first hook 231 and the second hook 241 have hook-shaped structures facing the linear module 300. The hooked support plate 310 is provided with a vertical buckle structure. When the hooked support plate 310 moves with the linear module 300 to the position corresponding to the first hook 231, the linear module 300 rotates toward the first hook 231. The buckle structure of the hooked support plate 310 and the hook-shaped structure of the first hook 231 form a buckle. At this time, when the hooked support plate 310 moves, it will drive the first tray 230 to load and unload materials. When the linear module 300 rotates in the opposite direction, the hooked support plate 310 disengages from the first hook 230, realizing the release of the buckle state.

[0028] Furthermore, the feeding machine 200 is provided with a frame 250. In this embodiment, the frame 250 is a box structure used to support the entire feeding machine 200. The first guide rail 210, the second guide rail 220, and the linear module 300 are connected to the frame 250 in parallel. The parallel distribution structure ensures that the linear module can move smoothly and accurately in direction after being connected to the first tray 230 or the second tray 240. The frame 250 is equipped with multiple rotating seats 251 connected to the bottom of the linear module 300. Each rotating seat 251 has a pivot structure and can rotate towards the first tray 230 or the second tray 240. The linear module 300 is supported and connected to the frame 250 via the rotating seats 251. On the side of the frame 250 away from the machine tool 100, a cylinder 252 is provided to connect to and drive the linear module 300. The push rod of the cylinder 252 is connected to the side of the linear module 300 via a pivot structure. When the push rod of the cylinder 252 pushes or pulls the linear module 300, the linear module can rotate and swing to both sides under the action of the rotating seats 251. The frame 250 is fixed to the ground for independent support, ensuring stable and smooth operation of the first tray 230 and the second tray 240.

[0029] Furthermore, the linear module 300 is equipped with a slide rail 320, and a hooked tray 310 is connected to the slide rail 320 for smooth sliding. A motor 330 is mounted on the slide rail 320 to drive the hooked tray 310 to reciprocate on the slide rail 320. Using the motor 330 for drive and the tray hook for traction, the loading and unloading of the first tray 230 and the second tray 240 has the advantages of high load capacity and smooth movement. The linear module 300 achieves belt drive via the motor 330. In other embodiments, the linear module 300 can be driven by a chain, rack and pinion, or linear drive mechanism via the motor 300. The loading machine 200 is equipped with an electrical cabinet 260 for power supply and control. The electrical cabinet 260 is located on the side of the frame 250 away from the machine tool 100, facilitating operation and adjustment of the loading machine by the operator through the electrical cabinet 260. The feeder 200 is horizontally positioned on the side of the machine tool 100. The machine tool 100 is provided with a side opening 110 for the feeder 200 to feed materials. The structure of the side opening 110 facilitates the feeding of materials from the side by the feeder 100.

[0030] The specific workflow of this utility model is as follows: The loading machine 200 is fixed to the side of the machine tool 100. After the automated operation program is ready, the product fixture is installed on the first tray 230, and the first tray 230 is positioned corresponding to the hooked support plate 310. The product fixture is used to fix the product to be processed. The cylinder 252 pushes out to make the linear module 300 rotate in the opposite direction to the first tray 230. The hooked support plate 310 and the first hook 231 form a snap connection. Then, the motor 330 drives the first tray 230 to enter the machining bed 100 for processing. After processing is completed, the motor 330... Reverse rotation drives the first tray 230 back to its origin, cylinder 252 retracts, and hooked tray 320 rotates and engages with the second hook 241 of the second tray 240. The action of the first tray 230 is repeated to complete one loading and unloading cycle. This achieves automatic switching of product fixtures for loading and unloading, solving the problem of manual loading of heavy products. This utility model not only solves the problem of automatic loading but also simplifies operation. By adopting the switching loading and unloading function, the two trays take turns loading and unloading, reducing the downtime of the loading bed 100, optimizing the debugging time for switching products, and solving the problem of complex debugging for small batches and multiple varieties.
