[0029] Please see Figure 1-4 An embodiment of a horizontal lathe loading mechanism provided by this utility model:
[0030] A loading mechanism for a horizontal lathe, comprising:
[0031] The machine frame 1 has a loading rack 2, a conveying mechanism 4, a loading mechanism 5 and a lathe body 3 arranged sequentially from left to right on its surface.
[0032] The material conveying mechanism 4 includes a column 401, a motor 402, a rotating shaft 403, a frame 404, and a material conveying tray 405;
[0033] The column 401 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, the motor 402 is fixedly installed inside the column 401, the rotating shaft 403 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the motor 402, the frame 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the column 401, and the conveying tray 405 is rotatably connected to the inside of the frame 404.
[0034] The feeding mechanism 5 includes a fixed frame 501, an electric push rod 502, a T-slot 503, a T-block 504, a movable frame 505, an air pump 506, a suction cup 507, a connecting rod 508, a connecting shaft 509, a gear 5010, and a rack 5011;
[0035] A fixed frame 501 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 1. An electric push rod 502 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed frame 501. A T-slot 503 is formed on the surface of the fixed frame 501. A T-block 504 is slidably connected to the inside of the T-slot 503. A movable frame 505 is slidably connected to one side of the T-block 504. An air pump 506 is fixedly installed on one side of the movable frame 505. A suction cup 507 is set at the docking end of the air pump 506. One end of a connecting rod 508 is rotatably connected to the top of the movable frame 505. A connecting shaft 509 is rotatably connected to the other side of the fixed frame 501. A gear 5010 is rotatably assembled on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 509. A rack 5011 is fixedly assembled on the output end of the electric push rod 502.
[0036] In one embodiment, the rotating shaft 403 is fixedly connected to the conveying tray 405, and the output shaft of the energized motor 402 is used to drive the conveying tray 405 to rotate through the rotating shaft 403. By energizing the motor 402, the output shaft of the running motor 402 drives the rotating shaft 403 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 403 drives the conveying tray 405 to rotate circumferentially inside the frame 404.
[0037] In one preferred embodiment, the surface of the frame 404 is formed with a groove, and the output end of the feed rack 2 is aligned with the groove of the frame 404, so that the disc-shaped workpiece slides into the conveyor tray 405 through the groove of the feed rack 2 and the frame 404, and then the conveyor tray 405 in a rotating state causes multiple disc-shaped workpieces to fall into multiple recesses of the conveyor tray 405 in sequence.
[0038] In one embodiment, gear 5010 meshes with rack 5011, and the meshed gear 5010 and rack 5011 drive the connecting shaft 509 to rotate. Since gear 5010 and rack 5011 mesh, rack 5011, which moves toward the conveyor plate 405, drives gear 5010 to rotate in the forward direction, and the rotating gear 5010 drives the connecting shaft 509 to rotate in the forward direction.
[0039] In one preferred embodiment, the rotating connecting shaft 509 is used to drive the connecting rod 508 to move, and the moving connecting rod 508 is used to drive the movable frame 505 to move synchronously and axially. The rotating connecting shaft 509 drives the connecting rod 508 to move, and the moving connecting rod 508 drives the T-block 504 to move along the trajectory of the T-slot 503 towards the material conveying plate 405. At the same time, the moving connecting rod 508 drives the movable frame 505, the air pump 506 and the suction cup 507 to move downward.
[0040] In one preferred embodiment, the energized air pump 506 provides suction to the suction cup 507, and the force-bearing suction cup 507 adsorbs the disc-shaped workpiece placed on the surface of the conveying tray 405. By lowering the suction cup 507 to a position in contact with the disc-shaped workpiece, and then energizing the air pump 506, the energized air pump 506 provides suction to the suction cup 507, thus allowing the force-bearing suction cup 507 to adsorb the disc-shaped workpiece placed on the surface of the conveying tray 405.
[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the motor 402 is powered on and started, so that the output shaft of the running motor 402 drives the rotating shaft 403 to rotate. The rotating shaft 403 drives the conveying plate 405 to rotate circumferentially inside the frame 404. Then, the disc-shaped workpiece slides into the conveying plate 405 through the groove of the loading rack 2 and the frame 404. Then, the rotating conveying plate 405 causes multiple disc-shaped workpieces to fall into multiple recesses of the conveying plate 405 in sequence.
[0042] At this point, the electric push rod 502 is powered on and put into operation. The output end of the running electric push rod 502 drives the rack 5011 to move closer to the conveyor plate 405. Since the gear 5010 meshes with the rack 5011, the rack 5011 moving towards the conveyor plate 405 drives the gear 5010 to rotate forward. The rotating gear 5010 drives the connecting shaft 509 to rotate forward, which in turn drives the connecting shaft 509 to move the connecting rod 508. The moving connecting rod 508 drives the T-block 504 to move along the trajectory of the T-slot 503 towards the conveyor plate 405. Simultaneously, the moving connecting rod 508 drives the movable frame 505, the air pump 506, and the suction cup 507 to move downwards, lowering the suction cup 507 to a position where it contacts the disc-shaped workpiece. Then, the air pump 506... When powered on, the air pump 506 provides suction to the suction cup 507, which then adsorbs the disc-shaped workpieces placed on the surface of the material tray 405. As described above, the output end of the electric push rod 502 in operation drives the rack 5011 to move closer to the lathe body 3. The rack 5011 moving closer to the lathe body 3 drives the gear 5010 and the connecting shaft 509 to rotate in opposite directions. The connecting shaft 509 in the reverse rotation state then drives the movable frame 505, the air pump 506, and the suction cup 507 to move up and down and axially closer to the lathe body 3 via the connecting rod 508. The suction cup 507 moving closer to the lathe body 3 then loads the adsorbed disc-shaped workpieces onto the lathe body 3. The above mechanical structure effectively improves the loading efficiency of disc-shaped workpieces.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
