Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of parts processing, and in particular to a feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of lathe machining in modern manufacturing, achieving automated production has become a key trend for improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality stability. To achieve this goal, setting up an efficient and precise loading device is an essential step in the lathe machining process. The function of the loading device is to accurately transport the parts to be machined to the lathe fixture in order to start the machining process.

[0003] However, in actual lathe machining scenarios, due to the combined effects of various factors such as lathe structural design, machining process requirements, and operating space limitations, materials often cannot be directly loaded from the front of the lathe fixture. Instead, the material needs to be conveyed from the side to the front of the fixture first, and then pushed into the fixture. The complexity of this loading method means that existing loading devices generally need to be equipped with two sets of drive structures.

[0004] One drive system is responsible for laterally conveying the material from the material storage area to a designated position in front of the lathe fixture, while the other drive system is specifically used to push the material towards the fixture after it arrives at the designated position, completing the final loading action. Although this dual-drive structure can meet the requirement of side loading, it brings a series of problems that cannot be ignored.

[0005] First, the inclusion of two drive systems significantly increases equipment costs. Not only does it require more investment in hardware procurement, but it also demands greater human and material resources for equipment installation, commissioning, and subsequent maintenance.

[0006] Secondly, since the two drive structures operate independently, there are inevitably time intervals and coordination issues between them. During the transition from lateral conveying to forward pushing of materials, this interval causes a brief pause in the feeding process, thus affecting overall feeding efficiency to some extent. Especially in modern machining environments that demand high-speed, continuous production, the cumulative effect of this efficiency loss becomes increasingly pronounced, hindering the improvement of the lathe's overall production capacity. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to reduce equipment costs and improve production efficiency, this application provides a feeding device.

[0008] This application provides a feeding device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A feeding device includes a feeding base;

[0010] Dual-head drive unit, mounted on the feeding base;

[0011] The movable connector is installed on one telescopic end of the dual-head drive element and has telescopic and power storage functions;

[0012] A feeding arm is slidably mounted on a feeding base with a preset stroke, and one end of the feeding arm is connected to a movable connector.

[0013] The material pushing assembly is located on the feeding arm and can be pushed by a telescopic end of the dual-head drive element away from the movable connector to push the material. The pushing direction is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the feeding arm.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a dual-head drive element moves the movable connecting head, which in turn drives the feeding arm to slide. The material to be processed is located on the feeding arm. Once the feeding arm has delivered the material to the feeding position, it reaches its maximum travel and cannot move further. At this point, the dual-head drive element continues to operate, compressing the movable connecting head, while the other telescopic end of the dual-head drive element drives the pushing assembly to feed the material. In this way, a single drive source controls two actions, reducing equipment costs, and the two actions can be seamlessly integrated to improve production efficiency.

[0015] In one embodiment: the movable connector includes a connecting block fixed to one telescopic end of the dual-head drive element, a movable sleeve slidably mounted on the telescopic end, and a feeding spring sleeved on the telescopic end, the feeding spring being located between the connecting block and the movable sleeve, and the feeding arm being connected to the movable sleeve.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the dual-head drive element is working, it drives the connecting block to move. The connecting block pushes the feeding spring, which in turn pushes the movable sliding sleeve to move, thus controlling the movement of the feeding arm. When the feeding arm moves to the limit position, the connecting block continues to move and compresses the feeding spring. At the same time, the stroke of the feeding arm can be limited by the movable sliding sleeve or the feeding arm abutting against the end of the dual-head drive element.

[0017] In one embodiment: a movable connecting rod is installed at the telescopic end of the dual-head drive element, the diameter of the movable connecting rod being smaller than the diameter of the telescopic end of the dual-head drive element, the connecting block is installed on the movable connecting rod, the feeding spring is sleeved on the movable connecting rod, and the movable sliding sleeve is slidably installed on the movable connecting rod and can abut against the telescopic end of the dual-head drive element. Initially, the feeding spring is in a compressed state.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable connecting rod can, on the one hand, abut against the movable sliding sleeve through the telescopic end of the double-headed drive element. In this way, the feeding spring can be compressed in the initial state, so that the double-headed drive element can control the sliding of the feeding arm with high stability during operation, and avoid the shaking caused by insufficient initial force of the feeding spring during the sliding process.

[0019] In one embodiment, the connecting block is connected to the movable connecting rod via a connecting clip structure.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the connecting block can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the initial compression degree of the feeding spring.

[0021] In one embodiment: the feeding arm is connected to the movable sliding sleeve via a connecting clamp structure.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the stroke of the loading arm is limited by the movable sliding sleeve, and the loading position of the material to be processed can be adjusted by adjusting the installation position of the loading arm.

[0023] In one embodiment, the feeding assembly includes a feeding swing head rotatably connected to the feeding arm, and a feeding return spring with its two ends respectively abutting against the feeding swing head and the feeding arm.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the material is fed by flipping and swinging, thereby realizing the vertical feeding action controlled by dual-head drive elements, and finally achieving a single drive source design.

[0025] In one embodiment, the dual-head drive element is a dual-head air cylinder or a dual-head hydraulic cylinder.

[0026] In one embodiment: a sliding channel is formed between the feeding base and the dual-head drive element, and the feeding arm is inserted into the sliding channel.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure is simple and no additional sliding structure is required for installation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0032] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0033] A feeding device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a feeding base 100, a dual-head drive element 200, a movable connector 300, a feeding arm 400, and a pushing assembly 500.

[0034] The dual-head drive element 200 is a dual-head pneumatic cylinder or a dual-head hydraulic cylinder. Specifically, mounting rails 110 are installed on both sides of the feeding base 100, and the dual-head drive element 200 is mounted on the mounting rails 110. The mounting rails 110 form a sliding channel between the feeding base 100 and the dual-head drive element 200.

[0035] The loading arm 400 has a plate-like structure and is inserted into the sliding channel, with both ends of the loading arm 400 extending out of the two ends of the sliding channel.

[0036] A movable connector 300 is located at the upper telescopic end of the dual-head drive element 200. In this embodiment, the telescopic end refers to a telescopic rod located outside the dual-head drive element 200. A movable connecting rod 210 is installed at the telescopic end of the dual-head drive element 200, in conjunction with the attached... Figure 2 The diameter of the movable connecting rod 210 is smaller than the diameter of the telescopic end. For ease of connection, the movable connecting rod 210 is threaded to the telescopic end.

[0037] The movable connector 300 includes a connecting block 310, a movable sliding sleeve 320, and a feeding spring 330. The connecting block 310 is connected to the movable connecting rod 210 via a connecting clamp structure. The feeding spring 330 is sleeved on the movable connecting rod 210. The movable sliding sleeve 320 is slidably mounted on the movable connecting rod 210, and the telescopic rod of the dual-head drive element 200 cannot pass through the movable sliding sleeve 320, allowing the telescopic end of the dual-head drive element 200 to abut against the movable sliding sleeve 320 to form a limit. Thus, by adjusting the position of the connecting block 310, the initial compression degree of the feeding spring 330 can be adjusted.

[0038] The loading arm 400 is connected to the movable sliding sleeve 320 via a connecting clamp structure. The movable sliding sleeve 320 limits the stroke of the loading arm 400. At the same time, by adjusting the installation position of the loading arm 400, the loading position of the material to be processed can be adjusted.

[0039] The feeding assembly 500 includes a feeding swing head 510 rotatably connected to the feeding arm 400, and a feeding return spring 520 with its two ends abutting against the feeding swing head 510 and the feeding arm 400 respectively.

[0040] Working Principle: The dual-head drive element 200 moves the movable connecting head 300, which in turn moves the feeding arm 400. The material to be processed is located on the feeding arm 400. After the feeding arm 400 delivers the material to the feeding position, it reaches its maximum travel and cannot move further. At this point, the dual-head drive element 200 continues to operate, compressing the movable connecting head 300, while the other telescopic end of the dual-head drive element 200 drives the pushing assembly 500 to feed the material. In this way, one drive source controls two actions, reducing equipment costs, and the two actions can be seamlessly connected to improve production efficiency.
