[0002] Metal parts manufacturing is the process of producing various metal products using metal as the main raw material and through various processing techniques and technologies. It occupies an important position in the manufacturing industry, and its products are widely used in many fields. When processing and producing metal parts, the metal parts to be processed are usually fed to achieve the purpose of continuous processing.
[0003] In existing technologies, the industry commonly uses manual feeding when performing feeding operations on metal parts that require further processing. However, due to the unavoidable errors and uncertainties inherent in manual operation, metal parts are prone to shifting during placement and cannot be stably centered on the transport device. This makes it difficult to accurately ensure that the metal parts are in the center of the transport device, which directly negatively impacts the production accuracy of the metal parts. In subsequent processing stages, this may lead to problems such as substandard product dimensions and shape deviations, thus affecting product quality. At the same time, misaligned metal parts also reduce transport efficiency, requiring frequent adjustments or jamming of the transport device during operation, delaying production progress and reducing the practicality of the entire production process. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the automatic feeding device for metal parts production to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-6.

A transport device body 6 for feeding metal parts is fixedly connected to the right end of the frame 1. A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the left end of the frame 1.

A movable bracket 22 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 24. A ball bearing 25 is rolled inside the limiting plate 24. The rotating bracket 21 is rotatably connected inside the frame 1, so that the two sets of limiting plates 24 move closer to each other, thereby centering and limiting the metal parts placed on the top of the feeding plate 37, preventing the position of the metal parts from shifting, improving the feeding efficiency of the metal parts, and improving the practicality of the device. The feeding component facilitates the feeding of metal parts and facilitates the centering of the metal parts, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 2-4. In this embodiment, the frame 1 has a corresponding groove at the position of the sliding block 23. The sliding block 23 slides in the groove of the frame 1, limiting the position of the limiting plate 24, thereby improving the stability of centering and limiting the metal part and enhancing the practicality of the device. Several balls 25 are provided, and the limiting plate 24 is symmetrically distributed on the inner side of the limiting plate 24. When centering and limiting the metal part, the push plate 28 can still push the metal part, thereby improving the feeding stability of the metal part and enhancing the practicality of the device. A first hydraulic telescopic rod 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, and the telescopic end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 26 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 23. A second hydraulic telescopic rod 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 4. The extension end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 27 is fixedly connected to a push plate 28. An infrared sensor 29 is fixedly connected inside the push plate 28. The infrared sensor 29 is model E3Z-D61. The front end of the support frame 4 is fixedly connected to a PLC controller 210. The first hydraulic telescopic rod 26 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 210. The second hydraulic telescopic rod 27 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 210. The infrared sensor 29 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 210. The two sets of limiting plates 24 are rotatably connected inside the frame 1 through the rotating bracket 21, so that the two sets of limiting plates 24 move closer to each other, thereby centering and limiting the metal parts placed on the top of the feeding plate 37, preventing the position of the metal parts from shifting, improving the feeding efficiency of the metal parts, and improving the practicality of the device.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6. In this embodiment, the feeding assembly includes a motor 31, which is fixedly connected to the front end of the base frame 5 and electrically connected to the PLC controller 210. A threaded rod 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 31. The threaded rod 32 is rotatably connected inside the base frame 5. A base 33 is slidably connected inside the base frame 5 and threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 32. A lifting bracket 34 is rotatably connected to the base 33. A feeding plate 37 is provided on the top of the base 33. A pressure sensor 39 for sensing metal parts is fixedly connected inside the feeding plate 37. The pressure sensor 39 is of model CYYZ. 11. The working principles of the infrared sensor 29, pressure sensor 39, and PLC controller 210 are common techniques in this field, so they will not be described in detail. The pressure sensor 39 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 210. The lifting bracket 34 is rotatably connected to the feeding plate 37. A first long rod 35 is slidably connected inside the base 33, and the lifting bracket 34 is rotatably connected to the first long rod 35. A second long rod 36 is slidably connected inside the feeding plate 37, and the lifting bracket 34 is rotatably connected to the second long rod 36. A third hydraulic telescopic rod 38 is rotatably connected to the base 33, and the third hydraulic telescopic rod 38 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 210. On the controller 210, the telescopic end of the third hydraulic telescopic rod 38 is rotatably connected to the first long rod 35. The feeding assembly slides inside the base frame 5 via the base 33, moving the base 33 to the end of the corresponding slot in the base frame 5, placing the feeding plate 37 inside the frame 1. At this time, by extending and retracting the third hydraulic telescopic rod 38, the metal parts on the feeding plate 37 are raised via the lifting bracket 34. The frame 1 limits the height of the feeding plate 37, facilitating the feeding of metal parts and ensuring centered feeding, thus improving the practicality of the equipment. The base frame 5 has openings at the corresponding positions of the base 33. The base 33 has a matching groove, which slides within the groove of the base frame 5 to limit the position of the base 33, facilitating the feeding of metal parts and improving feeding efficiency. The base 33 has a matching groove at the corresponding position of the first long rod 35, which slides within the groove of the base 33. The feeding plate 37 has a matching groove at the corresponding position of the second long rod 36, which slides within the groove of the feeding plate 37. The position of the first long rod 35 and the second long rod 36 within the groove controls the height of the feeding plate 37, improving the centering efficiency of the metal parts at the top of the feeding plate 37 and enhancing the practicality of the device.
[0026] During operation, when a metal part is placed on the feeding plate 37, the pressure sensor 39, fixedly connected inside the feeding plate 37, senses the metal part and starts the motor 31 via the PLC controller 210. This causes the threaded rod 32 to rotate inside the frame 1, which in turn causes the base 33 to slide inside the bottom frame 5, moving the base 33 to the end of the corresponding slot in the bottom frame 5. This positions the feeding plate 37 inside the frame 1. At this point, the PLC controller 210 extends and retracts the third hydraulic telescopic rod 38, causing the metal part on the feeding plate 37 to rise via the lifting bracket 34. The frame 1 then limits the height of the feeding plate 37. Simultaneously, the PLC controller 210 extends and retracts the first hydraulic telescopic rod 26, causing the sliding block 23 to slide inside the frame 1, which in turn moves the limiting plate 24. The movement is achieved by rotating the movable brackets 22 on both sides onto the rotating bracket 21, which moves the two sets of limiting plates 24 closer together, centering the metal part placed on the top of the feeding plate 37. At this time, the infrared sensor 29 on the push plate 28 senses the centered metal part, and the PLC controller 210 extends the second hydraulic telescopic rod 27, which drives the push plate 28 to extend, pushing the metal part between the two sets of limiting plates 24. The metal part is rolled and connected to the inside of the limiting plate 24 by the ball bearings 25, which facilitates pushing the metal part onto the transport device body 6, and pushing the metal part to the center position of the transport device body 6. The transport device body 6 facilitates feeding the metal part, which is convenient for subsequent processing and production. When the pressure sensor 39 on the feeding plate 37 does not sense the weight. The PLC controller 210 controls the lowering and movement of the feeding plate 37 on one side, resets the feeding plate 37, and moves the feeding plate 37 to the origin. When the feeding plate 37 is moved to the origin, the PLC controller 210 resets the push plate 28 and the two sets of limit plates 24 to facilitate the next feeding operation, improve the convenience of automatically feeding the metal parts placed on top of the feeding plate 37, and improve the practicality of the device.
[0027] Through the above steps, the rotating bracket 21 is rotatably connected inside the frame 1, causing the two sets of limiting plates 24 to move closer to each other, thereby centering and limiting the metal parts placed on the top of the feeding plate 37, preventing the metal parts from shifting, improving the feeding efficiency of the metal parts, and enhancing the practicality of the device. This solves the problem that metal parts are prone to shifting during placement, leading to reduced product quality and reduced overall production efficiency.
