Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding device for metal workpieces, including a frame 1;

[0020] A support frame 2 is provided on the top of the frame 1. Support plates 8 are provided on both sides of the top of the frame 1. The front end of the support plate 8 is fixedly connected to the two side surfaces of the support frame 2. A material picking assembly 3 is provided on the top of the support frame 2. The material picking assembly 3 includes a second motor 301, a lead screw 302, a slider 303, a moving plate 304, a cylinder 305, an assembly plate 306, and a vacuum suction cup 307. A second motor 301 for driving the lead screw 302 is provided on the top of the support frame 2. The lead screw 302 is threadedly connected to the slider 303. A moving plate 304 is provided below the slider 303. A cylinder 305 is provided below the moving plate 304. An assembly plate 306 is provided in front of the cylinder 305. Multiple vacuum suction cups 307 are mounted on the top of the assembly plate 306.

[0021] The cylinder 305 drives the assembly plate 306 to descend, so that the vacuum suction cup 307 below the assembly plate 306 contacts the upper surface of the plate-shaped metal workpiece. After the metal workpiece is adsorbed by the external vacuum pump, the vacuum suction cup 307 rises. At this time, the second motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to rotate, so that the lead screw 302 drives the slider 303 to slide inside the support frame 2. The slider 303 drives the moving plate 304 to move, and at the same time, it moves the adsorbed metal workpiece to the material receiving groove 408 above the frame 1. The material picking component 3 can pick up the stacked metal workpiece and place it inside the material receiving groove 408.

[0022] The frame 1 is internally equipped with a feeding assembly 4 for feeding materials. The feeding assembly 4 includes a rotating shaft 401, an adjusting rod 402, a connecting plate 403, a fixing plate 404, a support rod 405, a fixing block 406, a feeding plate 407, a receiving groove 408, a movable groove 409, a partition plate 410, a fixing rod 411, and a top rod 412. Multiple sets of receiving grooves 408 are provided on both sides of the top of the frame 1. Two sets of movable grooves 409 are provided on the frame 1. Two sets of rotating shafts 401 are rotatably connected to the frame 1. Pulleys are provided above the two sets of rotating shafts 401. The pulleys are connected to each other by a transmission belt 7. An adjusting rod 402 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 401. The front end of the adjusting rod 402 is hinged to one end of the connecting plate 403. A fixing plate 404 is provided above the connecting plate 403. A feeding plate 407 is provided above the feeding plate 407. There is a partition plate 410. Two sets of top rods 412 are set below the feeding plate 407. Multiple partition plates 410 are set above the feeding plate 407. The spacing between adjacent partition plates 410 on the surface of the feeding plate 407 is compatible with the material receiving groove 408 above the frame 1. The bottom of the top rod 412 is hinged to the fixing plate 404. A fixing block 406 is set above the frame 1. A fixing rod 411 is set above the fixing block 406. The front end of the fixing rod 411 is hinged to the support rod 405. The lower end of the support rod 405 is hinged to the other end of the connecting plate 403. A feeding platform 5 is set above one side of the frame 1. The width of the feeding plate 407 is smaller than the gap 9 between the material receiving grooves 408 on both sides above the frame 1. Two sets of grooves are set on the surface of the frame 1. The two sets of grooves are correspondingly set with the fixing rods 411. The fixing rods 411 pass through the grooves.

[0023] During continuous automatic feeding, the first motor 6, in conjunction with the transmission belt 7, drives the rotating shafts 401 on both sides to rotate. At this time, the rotating shafts 401 drive the adjusting rod 402 to rotate. Simultaneously, the adjusting rod 402, in conjunction with the connecting plate 403, drives the upper fixed plate 404 through the hinge shaft to lift the metal workpiece above the receiving groove 408 and convey it forward into the receiving groove 408. While the connecting plate 403 is being adjusted, the support plate 8 supports the connecting plate 403. At the same time, the upper end of the support plate 8 rotates around the front end of the fixed rod 411 through the hinge shaft. After the feeding plate 407 rotates and rises, it feeds the workpiece at a certain distance. In conjunction with the picking component 3, the metal workpiece can be continuously picked up and fed. Through the continuous adjustment of the feeding plate 407, the metal workpiece can be sent to the receiving groove 408 inside the front unloading platform 5, thereby realizing continuous feeding of the workpiece.

[0024] Working Principle: When using the automatic metal workpiece feeding device, the cylinder 305 drives the assembly plate 306 to descend, causing the vacuum suction cup 307 below the assembly plate 306 to contact the upper surface of the plate-shaped metal workpiece. After the metal workpiece is adsorbed by the external vacuum pump, the vacuum suction cup 307 rises. At this time, the second motor 301 drives the lead screw 302 to rotate, causing the lead screw 302 to drive the slider 303 to slide inside the support frame 2. The slider 303 then drives the moving plate 304 to move, simultaneously moving the adsorbed metal workpiece to the receiving groove 408 above the frame 1. The picking component 3 can pick up the stacked metal workpieces and place them into the receiving groove 408. During continuous automatic feeding, the first motor 6, in conjunction with the transmission belt 7, drives the rotating shafts 401 on both sides to rotate. At this time, the rotating shafts 401 drive the adjusting rod 4 02 rotates, and simultaneously, the adjusting rod 402, in conjunction with the connecting plate 403, drives the upper fixed plate 404 via the hinge shaft to lift the metal workpiece above the receiving groove 408 and convey it forward into the receiving groove 408. While the connecting plate 403 is being adjusted, the support plate 8 supports the connecting plate 403. At the same time, the upper end of the support plate 8 rotates around the front end of the fixed rod 411 via the hinge shaft. After the feeding plate 407 rotates and rises, it feeds the workpiece at a certain distance. In conjunction with the picking component 3, it can continuously pick up the metal workpiece and feed it. Through the continuous adjustment of the feeding plate 407, the metal workpiece can be sent to the receiving groove 408 inside the front unloading platform 5, thereby realizing continuous feeding of the workpiece and completing a series of tasks. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0025] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
