[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The present invention provides an embodiment of a highly stable material feeding system, comprising a storage bin 1, the storage bin 1 being a hollow cuboid, the inner depth of the storage bin 1 matching the length of the cylindrical material, a support frame 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage bin 1, the bottom of the support frame 2 being fixed to the ground, an mounting frame 3 fixedly connected to the inside of the support frame 2, and a conveyor wheel 4 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 3, the number of conveyor wheels 4 being set to two, the diameter and length of the two conveyor wheels 4 being the same, and a track 5 being drivenly connected to the outer wall of the two conveyor wheels 4.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 The track 5 is equipped with a stabilizing mechanism 6 on its exterior. The stabilizing mechanism 6 includes a storage block 61. The top of the storage block 61 is provided with a storage groove 62. The storage groove 62 is shaped like a semi-cylinder and a cuboid connected together. The diameter of the semi-cylindrical area of ​​the storage groove 62 matches the diameter of the cylindrical material. The storage block 61 is equipped with a pressure chamber 63 inside. The pressure chamber 63 is shaped like a cuboid groove connected together with multiple L-shaped grooves. The inner wall of the pressure chamber 63 is piston-connected to a pressure block 64. The outer wall of the pressure block 64 is in contact with the inner wall of the pressure chamber 63. By contacting the pressure block 64, the gas inside the pressure chamber 63 cannot pass through the pressure block 64, thus ensuring that the amount of gas inside the pressure chamber 63 is constant.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 . Figure 6 and Figure 7A perforated plate 610 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air chamber 63. The perforated plate 610 is located outside the outermost L-shaped groove of the air chamber 63. The outer wall of the pressure block 64 is elastically connected to the outer wall of the perforated plate 610 by a spring 65. One end of the spring 65 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pressure block 64, and the other end of the spring 65 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the perforated plate 610. A sliding rod 66 is piston-connected to the inner wall of the air chamber 63. A fixing block 67 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 66. The fixing block 67 is a rectangle with an arc-shaped groove cut on one side. The arc of the fixed block 67 is slightly larger than the arc of the outer wall of the cylindrical material. An air bag 68 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixed block 67 away from the slide bar 66. The air bag 68 is made of soft rubber and is filled with gas. By setting the material and internal filling of the air bag 68, it is ensured that the air bag 68 can deform after being squeezed, and there is a large friction when it is in contact with the object, thereby ensuring the clamping effect on the cylindrical material. An extrusion block 69 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 3.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The storage bin 1 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 7 both inside and outside. The feeding mechanism 7 includes a feeding wheel 71, which is cylindrical in shape. The outer wall of the feeding wheel 71 has multiple semi-cylindrical grooves. The diameter of the grooves on the outer wall of the feeding wheel 71 is slightly larger than the diameter of the cylindrical material. A rotating rod 72 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding wheel 71. The outer wall of the rotating rod 72 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage bin 1. A turntable 73 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 72. The turntable 73 is circular in shape. The outer side of the turntable 73 has multiple straight grooves and arc-shaped grooves. The straight grooves and arc-shaped grooves on the outer side of the turntable 73 are staggered. The number of straight grooves and arc-shaped grooves on the outer wall of the turntable 73 is the same as the number of grooves on the outer side of the feeding wheel 71.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A control wheel 74 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the storage bin 1. A control rod 75 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the control wheel 74. The control rod 75 is cylindrical in shape, and its diameter matches the width of the straight groove on the outer wall of the turntable 73. A motor 76 is fixedly connected to the front end of the support frame 2. The output shaft of the motor 76 rotates counterclockwise. The output shaft of the motor 76 passes through the inner wall of the support frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the center of the front end of the control wheel 74. A stabilizing block 77 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the control wheel 74. The curvature of the outer wall of the stabilizing block 77 matches the curvature of the arc-shaped groove on the outer wall of the turntable 73.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The outer wall of the rotating rod 72 is connected to the left conveyor wheel 4 via a conveyor assembly 8. The conveyor assembly 8 includes a rotating rod 81. The outer wall of the rotating rod 81 is connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 72 via a conveyor belt. The rear end of the rotating rod 81 is rotatably connected to the front end of the mounting frame 3. A gear 82 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 81. A transmission rod 83 is rotatably connected through the inner wall of the mounting frame 3. The outer wall of the transmission rod 83 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left conveyor wheel 4. A gear 84 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 83. The outer wall of the gear 84 meshes with the outer wall of the gear 82. The number of teeth of the gear 84 is... The number of teeth is less than that of gear 82. By setting the number of teeth, gear 82 can drive gear 84 to rotate more times with fewer rotations. The number of storage blocks 61 is set to multiple. The ratio of the distance between two adjacent storage blocks 61 to the distance of the arc formed by connecting the midpoints of two adjacent grooves in the groove on the outer wall of the feed wheel 71 is consistent with the ratio of the number of teeth of gear 82 to gear 84. By setting the ratio, it is ensured that when one of the feed wheels 71 rotates to the bottom of one of the grooves, there is exactly one storage block 61 in the same vertical position as the groove.

[0040] Working principle: When in use, the motor 76 drives the control wheel 74 to rotate, which in turn drives the control rod 75 and the stabilizing block 77 to rotate. When the control rod 75 rotates from top to bottom, it gradually enters the straight groove of the turntable 73 and drives the turntable 73 to rotate by pushing the straight groove of the turntable 73 during the rotation.

[0041] When the control lever 75 rotates to the point where it can no longer contact the inner wall of the straight groove, the control lever 75 continues to rotate under the drive of the control wheel 74, while the turntable 73 stops rotating. At the same time, when the control lever 75 rotates to the point where it no longer contacts the turntable 73, the stabilizing block 77 comes into contact with the outer wall of the arc-shaped groove of the turntable 73. Since the stabilizing block 77 is in contact with the arc-shaped groove of the turntable 73, even if the turntable 73 is subjected to other external forces, it will be unable to rotate due to the limitation imposed by the stabilizing block 77.

[0042] Since both the turntable 73 and the feeding wheel 71 are fixed to the rotating rod 72, when the turntable 73 rotates, the rotating rod 72 and the feeding wheel 71 rotate synchronously with it. This allows the feeding wheel 71 to stop rotating after rotating to the position where the groove faces downwards, and after the next rotation, it will only rotate to the position where the next groove faces downwards before stopping. It also ensures that even if the feeding wheel 71 is pushed by the cylindrical material above entering the groove during use, it can remain stationary until the turntable 73 drives it to rotate again.

[0043] Since the turntable 73 drives the rotating rod 72 to rotate while also driving the rotating rod 81 to rotate via the conveyor belt, the rotating rod 81 drives the gear 1 82 to rotate. As a result, the gear 1 82 drives the gear 2 84 to rotate during its rotation, which in turn drives the conveyor wheel 4 to rotate. This allows the conveyor wheel 4 to rotate simultaneously with the unloading wheel 71. Furthermore, due to the gear ratio between the gear 1 82 and the gear 2 84, it is ensured that when the unloading wheel 71 rotates to the position where the groove faces downward, the storage block 61 is exactly in the same vertical position as the groove.

[0044] Since the material storage block 61 is in the same vertical position as the groove when the material wheel 71 rotates to the position with the groove facing down, the cylindrical material can fall under the action of gravity until it enters the interior of the storage tank 62. When the material storage block 61 continues to move to the right with the track 5 until the extrusion block 69 contacts the pressure block 64, the pressure block 64 is squeezed by the extrusion block 69 and moves towards the direction of entering the air pressure chamber 63, thereby increasing the air pressure inside the air pressure chamber 63. This causes the slide bar 66 to move outward under the action of air pressure, thereby driving the fixed block 67 to move towards the cylindrical material.

[0045] During the movement of the fixed block 67, the airbag 68 first contacts the cylindrical material and deforms under continuous pressure until the fixed block 67 clamps the cylindrical material, and the airbag 68 fills the gap between the inner side of the fixed block 67 and the outer wall of the material. When the material is transported to the designated area, the separation of the extrusion block 69 and the pressure block 64 allows the pressure block 64 to reset under the elastic force of the spring 65, thereby reducing the gas pressure inside the air chamber 63. This causes the slide rod 66 to drive the fixed block 67 to reset under the action of air pressure, thus facilitating the removal of the cylindrical material.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
