[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the precision cam-type clamping feeder includes an L-shaped plate 1. An extension plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate of the L-shaped plate 1. A processing device 4 is provided at the end of the extension plate 2. A clamping member 5 is provided above the extension plate 2 and is slidably connected to the extension plate 2. A control mechanism acting on the clamping member 5 is provided above the L-shaped plate 1. The control mechanism consists of a cylindrical cam 3, a mounting sleeve 8, a rotating shaft 9, a support plate 10, a connecting plate 11, a movable rod 12, a fixed sleeve 13, and a drive block 14. Two support plates 10 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the L-shaped plate 1. The upper ends of the two support plates 10 are each fixedly connected to a mounting sleeve 8. The two mounting sleeves 8 are connected together. A cylindrical cam 3 is provided, with its two ends rotatably connected to two mounting sleeves 8 via rotating shafts 9. A drive mechanism is connected to the end of one rotating shaft 9. Connecting plates 11 are fixedly installed on the upper ends of the two mounting sleeves 8. The movable rod 12 is a non-cylindrical structure and slides through the two connecting plates 11. One end of the movable rod 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping member 5. A fixed sleeve 13 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the movable rod 12 and is located between the two connecting plates 11. A drive block 14 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed sleeve 13. The drive block 14 is a cylindrical structure and is adapted to the guide groove on the outer wall of the cylindrical cam 3.

[0021] The bottom of the clamping member 5 is fixedly connected to a slider 18, which is slidably installed in a groove 17 opened on the upper surface of the extension plate 2.

[0022] The sliding engagement of the groove 17 and the slider 18 ensures that the clamping part 5 is slidably mounted on the upper end of the extension plate 2.

[0023] The drive mechanism consists of a motor 15 and a mounting plate 16. The motor 15 is located at the end of the rotating shaft 9. The bottom of the motor 15 is fixedly connected to the support plate 10 through the mounting plate 16. The output shaft of the motor 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9.

[0024] The motor 15 drives the rotating shaft 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the cylindrical cam 3 to rotate.

[0025] The clamping member 5 has a through groove 19 on its side wall, and electric clamping plates 20 are respectively provided on the upper and lower inner walls of the through groove 19.

[0026] Among them, a material rack 6 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the two connecting plates 11. A guide groove 7 for the material is opened on the upper surface of the material rack 6. Baffles 21 are respectively provided on both sides above the guide groove 7. The baffles 21 are fixedly connected to the material rack 6.

[0027] The material can be guided by the guide groove 7, and the material can be prevented from leaving the guide groove 7 by the baffle 21.

[0028] This utility model provides a precision cam-type clamping feeder, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0029] In use, the material is sequentially passed through the guide groove 7 and the clamping member 5 and placed onto the processing equipment 4. The processing equipment 4 can be a stamping machine or a cutting machine, etc. The attached diagram is for reference only and does not show the processing equipment 4. The motor 15 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 9 to rotate, thereby driving the cylindrical cam 3 to rotate. The guide rail groove on the cylindrical cam 3 will move accordingly. Since the driving block 14 is located in the guide rail groove on the cylindrical cam 3, when the cylindrical cam 3 rotates, the inner wall of the guide rail groove will push the driving block 14 to move back and forth, thereby driving the fixed sleeve 13 and the movable rod 12 to move synchronously. The movable rod 12 will drive the clamping member 5 to move back and forth. The electric clamping plates 20 on the upper and lower inner walls of the clamping member 5 can clamp the material. By adjusting the clamping frequency of the electric clamping plates 20, the material is automatically clamped when the clamping member 5 moves to the leftmost end and automatically released when the clamping member 5 moves to the rightmost end, thus realizing continuous feeding of the material with equal length each time. The clamping frequency of the electric clamping plates 20 can be controlled by a relay, which is existing technology and is not shown in the figure. Finally, the processing frequency of the processing equipment 4 is adjusted to be equal to the feeding frequency of the material, thus realizing continuous feeding processing of the material.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
