[0002] In the machining process of parts, the parts to be processed need to be sent to the processing equipment. With social development and progress, parts are transported to the machine tool by a transfer cart, and then loaded by a robotic arm. This requires ensuring that the position of the workpiece is fixed before the robotic arm grasps it. In the existing technology, to ensure that the workpiece is fixed before the robotic arm grasps it, a fixed frame is set at a designated position. The workpiece on the transfer cart is placed on the fixed frame, and the robotic arm grasps the workpiece from the fixed frame. However, this method requires multiple handling of a single workpiece, which not only wastes manpower but also increases the risk of the workpiece being damaged during handling.

[0003] Therefore, we propose an automatic feeding device with a guiding mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0013] 1. This automatic feeding device with a guiding mechanism, by setting a first feeding plate and a second feeding plate, places the workpiece on the first feeding plate and then transports it to the machine tool through a conveyor trough. First, the workpiece on the first feeding plate is picked up for processing. Then, the drive motor drives the displacement screw to rotate, causing the first feeding plate to move.

A connecting roller 17 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 16. The connecting roller 17 is in rolling connection with the inside of the guide groove 15. By setting the first feeding plate 8 and the second feeding plate 14, the workpiece is placed on the first feeding plate 8 and the second feeding plate 14, and then transported to the machine tool through the conveyor trough 1. First, the workpiece on the first feeding plate 8 is picked up for processing. Then, the drive motor 5 drives the displacement screw 6 to rotate, causing the first feeding plate 8 to move. At the same time, it drives the connecting belt 10 to rotate, causing the moving plate 12 to move in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the second feeding plate 14 to move. While the second feeding plate 14 moves, the connecting roller 17 rolls with the guide groove 15, causing the second feeding plate 14 to move downward and pass under the first feeding plate 8. This realizes the alternating feeding of the first feeding plate 8 and the second feeding plate 14, reducing the number of times the workpiece is handled. This not only effectively reduces labor costs, but also reduces the risk of workpiece damage during handling.

[0023] The bottom of the fixed plate 3 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 18, and two ends of the rotating shaft 18 are fixedly installed with movable wheels 19, which are in rolling contact with the inside of the conveying track 2.

[0024] A displacement motor 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 3. A drive gear 21 is fixedly installed at the output end of the displacement motor 20.

[0025] Synchronous pulleys 23 are fixedly installed on the same side of the two rotating shafts 18. The two synchronous pulleys 23 are connected by a synchronous belt 24. By setting a fixed plate 3, when the workpiece is placed on the first loading plate 8 and the second loading plate 14, the displacement motor 20 is started, and the rotating shaft 18 is driven to rotate through the driving gear 21 and the driven gear 22. Then, the synchronous pulleys 23 and the synchronous belt 24 drive one rotating shaft 18 to rotate synchronously, so that the moving wheel 19 moves inside the conveying track 2, which facilitates the transportation of the workpiece.

[0026] Upper slide rails 9 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top of the frame 4. The bottom of the first feeding plate 8 is slidably connected to the top of the frame 4 through the upper slide rails 9.

The first feeding plate 8 is fixedly installed with the upper part of the connecting belt 10, and the moving plate 12 is fixedly installed with the lower part of the connecting belt 10.

[0028] The movable plate 12 has a through hole in the middle, and the support frame 16 passes through the middle of the through hole. The connecting roller 17 is located on the bottom of the support frame 16 near the guide groove 15. The guide groove 15 is V-shaped.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] The workpiece is placed on the first loading plate 8 and the second loading plate 14. After the workpiece is placed on the first loading plate 8 and the second loading plate 14, the displacement motor 20 is started, and the rotating shaft 18 is driven to rotate through the driving gear 21 and the driven gear 22. Then, the rotating shaft 18 is driven to rotate synchronously through the synchronous wheel 23 and the synchronous belt 24, so that the moving wheel 19 moves inside the conveying track 2 to transport the workpiece. First, the workpiece on the first loading plate 8 is picked up for processing. Then, the drive motor 5 drives the displacement screw 6 to rotate, so that the first loading plate 8 moves. At the same time, the connecting belt 10 rotates, so that the moving plate 12 moves in the opposite direction and drives the second loading plate 14 to move. While the second loading plate 14 moves, the connecting roller 17 rolls with the guide groove 15, so that the second loading plate 14 moves downward and passes under the first loading plate 8, thereby realizing the alternating loading of the first loading plate 8 and the second loading plate 14, reducing the number of times the workpiece is handled.
