Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding tooling technology, and more specifically, to a feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of bar stock processing, the stability and efficiency of automated feeding equipment directly affect the overall performance of the production line. In the existing technology, the patent "An Automated Feeding Device for Bar Stock Production and Processing" (CN 222098695 U), authorized by Hangzhou Haisheng Intelligent Automation Technology Co., Ltd. on December 6, 2024, achieves continuous feeding through a combination of a feeding device, a pushing device, and a bar stock support device. However, its technical solution has the following limitations:

[0003] Insufficient bar stock positioning accuracy: The bar stock support device of this patent adopts a horizontal stacked design. During the lifting process, the bar stock is prone to shift or slip due to gravity, resulting in misalignment when entering the processing device. An additional correction mechanism (such as a sensor or mechanical limiter) is required, which increases the complexity of the equipment and maintenance costs.

[0004] Limited conveying efficiency: The coordination between the horizontal conveyor belt and the feeding device requires multiple starts and stops to complete the material distribution, making it difficult to achieve high-speed continuous feeding. Furthermore, the bar stock may accumulate due to inertia during horizontal conveying, requiring manual intervention for adjustment. Utility Model Content

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a feeding device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a mobile platform 1, a conveyor belt device 3, a pushing device 4, a processing device, and multiple guide plates 2; the multiple guide plates 2 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom and are all mounted on the frame 6, with the guide plates 2 used for placing bar stock; the conveyor belt device 3 is arranged vertically on the frame 6, and the conveyor belt device 3 is provided with multiple fixing blocks 7 for placing bar stock, and the guide plates 2 are inclined towards the conveyor belt device 3; the pushing device 4 is connected to the frame 6 and is located below the conveyor belt device 3; the processing device is located below the output end of the pushing device 4, and the pushing device 4 is used to push the bar stock into the processing device.

[0033] The aforementioned feeding device features multiple inclined guide plates 2 arranged at intervals from top to bottom, utilizing gravity to allow the bar stock to slide naturally towards the conveyor belt. The inclination angle is adjustable (e.g., adjusting the inclination based on the bar stock diameter), ensuring precise guidance of the bar stock without external power intervention. Fixed blocks 7 on the vertical conveyor belt match the shape of the bar stock, capable of simultaneously supporting multiple bars and maintaining their stable posture. A pushing device 4, located below the conveyor belt and directly connected to the processing device inlet, uses a linear pusher to eject the bar stock from the fixed blocks 7 and deliver it to the processing position, reducing the secondary positioning steps required by traditional horizontal conveyor belts. This feeding device solves the problems of insufficient bar stock positioning accuracy and limited conveying efficiency in traditional equipment.

[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, the conveyor belt device 3 includes a first conveyor belt 31, a first drive assembly 32, a first transmission wheel 33, and a second transmission wheel 34.

The first conveyor belt 31 is sleeved on the first transmission wheel 33 and the second transmission wheel 34. The first drive assembly 32 includes a first gearbox and a first drive block. The first gearbox is mounted on the frame 6. The output end of the first drive block is connected to the input end of the first gearbox, and the output end of the first gearbox is connected to the first transmission wheel 33. The first drive block drives the first conveyor belt 31 to rotate. Thus, when the first drive assembly 32 is activated, the first conveyor belt 31 rotates, and the bar stock falls onto the pushing device 4. As the first conveyor belt 31 rotates, when an empty fixed block 7 moves in front of a guide plate 2, the bar stock automatically rolls onto the fixed block 7. When there is bar stock on the fixed block 7, the bar stock on the guide plate 2 can no longer roll until an empty fixed block 7 appears.

A groove for receiving bar stock; one pushing mechanism corresponds to one discharge port 8, the pushing mechanism includes a first linear module 421 and a pushing rod 422, the pushing rod 422 is disposed on the moving end of the first linear module 421, the first linear module 421 is disposed on the frame 6; one side of the receiving block 411 is provided with a first through hole for the pushing rod 422 to enter, and the other side of the receiving block 411 is provided with a second through hole for the bar stock to be pushed out, both the first through hole and the second through hole are connected to the groove; the first linear module 421 is used to drive the pushing rod 422 through the first through hole to push the bar stock out from the second through hole. In this way, through the split design, the bar stock falling from the conveyor belt can be received simultaneously and distributed to different discharge ports 8, realizing parallel feeding of multiple processing devices; the shape of the groove matches the diameter of the bar stock (such as a V-groove for cylindrical bar stock), ensuring that the bar stock always maintains axial alignment during movement.

[0036] like Figures 1-3As shown, in one embodiment, the processing device includes a feeding mechanism 5 and a processing mechanism. The feeding mechanism 5 is connected to the processing mechanism. The feeding mechanism 5 is used to drive the bar stock into the processing mechanism, and the processing mechanism is used to process the bar stock. The feeding mechanism is located below the discharge port 8. The feeding mechanism 5 includes a support 51, a rolling groove 52, a guide block 53, a third cylinder 54, a driving block 55, a track 56, a first pushing block 57, and a second pushing block 58.

In this way, the arc-shaped slide 9 smoothly transitions the direction of the bar (from inclined rolling to horizontal conveying), avoiding collisions or jamming caused by right-angle turns.

[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
