[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this feeding device for bicycle axle grinding includes a bracket 1, a feeding trough 2, and an electric push rod 3. The electric push rod 3 is located on one side of the end of the feeding trough 2. A loading plate 4 is located on one side of the feeding trough 2, and the loading plate 4 is inclined. A lifting mechanism is provided between the loading plate 4 and the feeding trough 2. After the workpiece is conveyed to the feeding trough 2 through the loading plate 4, the electric push rod 3 is activated to push the workpiece into the processing equipment, forming the workpiece feeding process. The length direction of the bracket 1 is coaxial with the feed inlet of the processing equipment, which requires little space. The loading plate 4 is located on one side of the feeding trough 2, which facilitates the operator to load the workpiece from the side of the equipment, thereby changing the operator's loading position, increasing the safe distance from the moving parts of the equipment, and reducing safety risks.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, a first cylinder 6 is vertically positioned on the side of the support 1. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting plate 7 connected to the output end of the first cylinder 6. The lifting plate 7 is located between the loading plate 4 and the feeding trough 2. A side plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting plate 7, and the top of the lifting plate 7 has an inclined structure. When the lifting plate 7 resets, the workpiece on the lifting plate 7 is between the loading plate 4 and the feeding trough 2, serving as a temporary buffer position for the workpiece. When the lifting plate 7 is lifted by the first cylinder 6, it rolls along the top inclined surface onto the feeding trough 2. Simultaneously, the side plate 8 blocks the rolling of subsequent workpieces. After the lifting plate 7 resets again, the next workpiece rolls to the temporary buffer position, waiting for feeding. This structure forms a continuous automatic workpiece feeding process, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. In actual production, the start and stop of the first cylinder 6 can be manually controlled by foot pedals or electrically controlled with sensors, depending on the production line layout.

[0024] like Figure 3As shown, the loading plate 4 has fixed guide strips 9 and movable guide strips 10 on both sides. A connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable guide strip 10. The connecting plate 11 has a waist-shaped hole 12. The connecting plate 11 is connected to the loading plate 4 by a fixing bolt 13, which passes through the waist-shaped hole 12. The movable guide strip 10 is movable. The position of the movable guide strip 10 on the loading plate 4 can be changed by tightening or loosening the bolt, thereby adjusting the distance between the two guide strips. This allows for the loading limit of workpieces of different lengths, ensuring smooth and unobstructed rolling of the workpieces and ensuring that all workpieces to be processed on the loading plate 4 are in a parallel posture.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the top center of the feeding trough 2 has a V-shaped structure. The feeding trough 2 includes a fixed trough body 14 and a movable trough body 15. The top of the fixed trough body 14 is provided with an inclined part 16, and the movable trough body 15 is located at one end of the inclined part 16. A second cylinder 17 is also provided on the bracket 1, and the output end of the second cylinder 17 is connected to the side of the movable trough body 15. The V-shaped groove structure in the middle of the feeding trough 2 is used to align the workpiece with the feeding port of the processing equipment. The feeding trough 2 adopts a split structure of fixed trough body 14 and movable trough body 15. The movable trough body 15 is placed on the inclined part 16 of the fixed trough body 14. The contact part between the two is smooth to reduce the frictional resistance of the movable trough body 15. The movable trough body 15 is separated from the fixed trough body 14 by the second cylinder 17. After the workpiece is processed and transported to the feeding trough 2, the second cylinder 17 can drive the movable trough body 15 to move backward a certain distance, so that the workpiece slides along the inclined part 16 to the unloading plate 5 by its own weight, forming the unloading process.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a feeding trough 2 has a feeding plate 5 on the other side, and limiting flanges 18 are provided on both sides of the feeding plate 5. The feeding plate 5 is inclined, and its inclination direction is consistent with the inclination direction of the inclined part 16 of the fixed trough 14. It is used to collect the finished workpieces. The limiting flanges 18 are used to prevent the workpieces from rolling unsteadily and falling off the feeding plate 5 and causing damage.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, an L-shaped support plate 19 is fixedly connected to the side of the bracket 1. A support 23 is provided on the L-shaped support plate 19, and a fixing plate 22 is provided at the bottom of the feeding plate 4. The fixing plate 22 and the support 23 are detachably connected. A reinforcing rib 24 is provided at the bottom of the L-shaped support plate 19. The L-shaped support plate 19 provides stable support for the feeding plate 4, and it is also provided with reinforcing ribs 24 to further improve the structural strength. The fixing plate 22 and the support 23 are connected by bolts and waist holes, which can adjust the installation height of the feeding plate 4 and facilitate matching with the bracket 1 during installation.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the bracket 1 is also equipped with a guide bracket 20, through which the output end of the electric actuator 3 passes. The guide bracket 20 provides horizontal guidance for the output end of the electric actuator 3.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the feeding plate 4 is provided with multiple connecting holes 21. The connecting holes 21 are used to connect with the fixing bolts 13. The multiple connecting holes 21 expand the movement adjustment range of the moving guide bar 10, further meeting the feeding limit of workpieces of various specifications.

[0030] The working process is as follows: According to the current length of the workpiece being processed, the spacing between the two guide bars is adjusted to match the length of the workpiece. Production personnel feed the workpieces in batches from the loading plate 4. The workpieces at the bottom of the loading plate 4 will fall onto the lifting plate 7. After the equipment is started, the first cylinder 6 is activated to lift the workpiece. The workpiece will roll naturally along the top slope of the lifting plate 7 onto the feeding trough 2. At the same time, the subsequent workpieces are blocked by the side plate 8 and will not continue to roll. Then the electric push rod 3 is activated to push the workpiece along the feeding trough 2 to the feeding port of the processing equipment for processing. Then the first cylinder 6 is reset, and the next workpiece will roll onto the lifting plate 7. The working method is the same as the previous workpiece. When the workpiece is finished, it can be pushed out of the processing equipment onto the feeding trough 2 by the push rod on the other side of the feeding port of the processing equipment. The second cylinder 17 is activated to retract the movable trough 15. The finished workpiece will roll along the inclined part 16 of the fixed trough 14 onto the unloading plate 5, and then roll along the unloading plate 5 for collection.

[0031] This feeding device for bicycle axle grinding facilitates the feeding process of axle grinding through the feeding plate 4 and the feeding groove 2. A lifting mechanism is also set between the feeding plate 4 and the feeding groove 2 to realize the automatic transfer of the workpiece from the feeding plate 4 to the feeding groove 2, reducing manual intervention steps, improving work efficiency, and the overall structure of the device is compact, requires little space, is simple in structure, easy to install, and can effectively reduce the cost of use.

Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
