[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hardware processing, specifically to a lathe loading mechanism for processing hardware parts. Background Technology

[0002] Hardware refers to tools made from metals such as gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin through casting and processing. They are used to fix things, process things, and decorate. In the field of hardware processing, lathes are a crucial processing equipment, widely used in the precision processing of various hardware parts. With the continuous increase in the requirements of modern manufacturing for production efficiency and automation, the efficiency and precision of hardware parts in the lathe loading process are becoming increasingly important.

[0003] Existing metal parts processing lathes generally require manual loading and securing of the metal parts before automatic lathes can process them. Manual loading is slow and inefficient. To overcome the shortcomings of manual loading, some companies have tried using simple loading auxiliary devices. However, these devices are often limited in function, only able to perform basic pushing or lifting actions on the metal parts. Therefore, there is a need to propose a new loading mechanism for lathes used in metal parts processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lathe loading mechanism for processing hardware parts, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lathe loading mechanism for processing hardware parts, comprising a base, a base plate fixedly installed on the upper end of the base, a longitudinal slide fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate, a transverse slide fixedly installed on the upper end of the longitudinal slide, a processing tool fixedly installed on the upper end of the transverse slide, a lathe fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate, a chuck provided on the front side of the lathe, a material guiding and pushing mechanism fixedly installed on the upper end of the base, a material hopper mechanism fixedly installed on the inner side of the material guiding and pushing mechanism, and a controller fixedly installed on the upper end of the base;

[0006] The hopper mechanism includes a wheel frame, a hopper body, a drive motor, a drive shaft, a material wheel, a material trough, a discharge port, a detection hole, and a photoelectric sensor.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The lathe loading mechanism for processing hardware parts, through the setting of the hopper mechanism, can place bar-shaped workpieces in the hopper body and drop them into the material trough through the discharge port. Then, the drive motor and drive shaft drive the material wheel to rotate, so that the workpiece falls from the discharge port under the wheel frame into the guide slope for loading. In this way, by controlling the speed of the drive motor, the rotation speed of the material wheel can be easily adjusted, thereby controlling the loading rhythm of the workpiece, which is conducive to better coordination with the processing rhythm of the lathe.

The loading mechanism of this lathe for processing hardware parts, through the setting of the guide and push mechanism, allows the workpiece to roll from the guide ramp into the material rack. Then, cylinder one pushes the material rack to the front of the chuck, and then cylinder two pushes the workpiece into the chuck. In conjunction with the hopper mechanism, it can achieve continuous and rhythmic loading, improve production efficiency, and reduce the labor intensity of workers. The photoelectric sensor set on the outside of the hopper body can monitor the remaining workpiece in the hopper body. When the height of the workpiece drops below the beam of the photoelectric sensor, a signal will be sent to the controller to prompt and alarm, reminding the staff to add workpieces to avoid affecting the processing.

A discharge port 907 is opened at the upper end of the wheel frame 901. A detection hole 908 is opened on the front side of the hopper body 902. A photoelectric sensor 909 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the hopper body 902. Through the hopper mechanism 9, the rod-shaped workpiece can be placed in the hopper body 902 and fall into the material groove 906 through the discharge port 907. Then, the workpiece is driven by the drive motor 903 and the drive... The drive shaft 904 drives the material wheel 905 to rotate, causing the workpiece to fall from the feeding port 907 below the wheel frame 901. By controlling the speed of the drive motor 903, the rotation speed of the material wheel 905 can be easily adjusted, thereby controlling the workpiece feeding rhythm. This facilitates better coordination with the processing rhythm of the lathe 6, makes the workpiece feeding more orderly, and allows multiple workpieces to be stored in the hopper body 902 at the same time, reducing workload and improving efficiency.

[0026] Please see Figure 2-7In this embodiment, the material guiding and pushing mechanism 8 includes a bracket 801, a guiding slope 802, a fixed seat 803, a first cylinder 804, a material rack 805, a second cylinder 806, and a fixed frame 807. The guiding slope 802 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the bracket 801. The fixed seat 803 is fixedly installed on the left side of the guiding slope 802. The first cylinder 804 is fixedly installed on the left side of the fixed seat 803. The material rack 805 is fixedly installed on the left side of the first cylinder 804. A second cylinder 806 is fixedly installed on the front side of the guide slope 802, and a fixed frame 807 is fixedly installed on the front side of the guide slope 802. Through the setting of the guide and push mechanism 8, after the workpiece rolls from the guide slope 802 into the material rack 805, the material rack is pushed to the front of the chuck 7 by the first cylinder 804, and then the workpiece is pushed into the chuck 7 by the second cylinder 806. Combined with the hopper mechanism 9, continuous and rhythmic feeding can be achieved, improving production efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of workers. Fixing brackets 807 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the ramp 802. The fixing brackets 807 are fixedly installed on the outside of the guide ramp 802 and the wheel frame 901. The hopper body 902 is funnel-shaped, and the wheel frame 901 is circular. The upper and lower ends of the wheel frame 901 are provided with the same discharge port 907. There are six material troughs 906 located on the outside of the material wheel 905. The material wheel 905 is located inside the wheel frame 901. The drive shaft 904 passes through the rear side of the wheel frame 901 and is fixedly installed with the drive motor 903. The wheel frame 901 is located above the guide ramp 802. The photoelectric sensor 909 is located in front of the detection hole 908. The photoelectric sensor 909 installed on the outside of the hopper body 902 can monitor the remaining workpieces in the hopper body 902. When the height of the workpiece drops below the beam of the photoelectric sensor 909, a signal will be sent to the controller 10 to prompt an alarm, reminding the staff to add workpieces to avoid affecting the processing.

[0027] Working principle: First, the bar-shaped workpiece is placed in the hopper body 902 through the hopper mechanism 902 and falls into the feed trough 906 through the discharge port 907. Then, the drive motor 903 and drive shaft 904 drive the feed wheel 905 to rotate, causing the workpiece to fall from the discharge port 907 below the wheel frame 901 into the guide slope 802 for loading. By controlling the speed of the drive motor 903, the rotation speed of the feed wheel 905 can be easily adjusted, thereby controlling the workpiece loading rhythm. This facilitates better coordination with the machining cycle of the lathe 6, makes the workpiece loading more orderly, and allows multiple workpieces to be pre-loaded into the hopper body 902 at the same time, reducing the workload. To reduce workload and improve efficiency, the material feeding mechanism 8 allows the workpiece to roll from the guide ramp 802 into the material rack 805. Then, cylinder 804 pushes the rack to the chuck 7, and cylinder 806 pushes the workpiece into the chuck 7. Combined with the hopper mechanism 9, this enables continuous and rhythmic feeding, improving production efficiency and reducing worker workload. A photoelectric sensor 909 on the outside of the hopper body 902 monitors the remaining workpieces. When the workpiece height drops below the beam of the photoelectric sensor 909, a signal is sent to the controller 10 to alert the operator to add more workpieces and prevent disruption to processing.
