[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be used in other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 An intelligent automated CNC lathe includes a frame 1, a first fixture 3 mounted on the frame 1, a moving part 6 mounted on the frame 1, and a second fixture 23 mounted on the moving part 6; it also includes a hopper 2 mounted on the frame 1, the hopper 2 being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom for easy material discharge, its main body being welded from steel plates with a powder-coated surface, and the part in contact with the workpiece being inlaid with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) wear-resistant liner to reduce the risk of workpiece collision and scratches; a feeding mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the hopper 2 for feeding the workpiece; and a discharging mechanism 5 mounted on the frame 1 for discharging the workpiece.

[0028] For further details, please refer to Figure 5The feeding mechanism 4 includes a connecting plate 7 installed outside the hopper 2. A cylinder 8 is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 7. A concave frame 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 8. The concave frame 9 is made of stainless steel and has good wear resistance. Electric push rods 10 are symmetrically installed on the outside of the concave frame 9. The output ends of the two electric push rods 10 pass through the concave frame 9 and are connected to clamping sleeves 11. The electric push rods 10 and clamping sleeves 11 are connected by universal ball joints, allowing ±5° deflection angle compensation. When the workpiece posture deviation in the hopper 2 is ≤5°, the clamping sleeves 11 automatically adapts without additional visual correction, improving feeding efficiency. The inside of the clamping sleeves 11 is made of steel and the surface is plated with hard chrome. Anti-slip teeth are opened on the contact surface of the workpiece to improve the workpiece clamping stability.

[0029] Furthermore, a cylinder 21 is installed on the outside of the hopper 2. The output end of the cylinder 21 passes through the hopper 2 and is fixedly connected to a push rod 24. The push rod 24 is made of stainless steel 304 and the surface is treated with a nano-coating. A discharge hole 22 is opened on the side wall of the hopper 2 away from the cylinder 21. When feeding, the cylinder 21 can push the push rod 24 to move, thereby pushing the workpiece to move out along the discharge hole 22.

[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The feeding mechanism 5 includes a mounting base 12 installed outside the frame 1. A second cylinder 13 is installed above the mounting base 12. The second cylinder 13 is installed at an angle. The second cylinder 13 passes through the frame 1 and is fixedly connected to a connecting block 14. The connecting block 14 is trapezoidal. A groove 25 is opened on the top of the connecting block 14. Springs 15 are symmetrically fixedly connected inside the groove 25. Disc springs are used. The initial compression is adjusted by a nut. A receiving plate 16 is fixedly connected above the spring 15. The side of the receiving plate 16 away from the spring 15 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 14.

[0031] Example 2: Based on Example 1, according to Figure 4 - Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that a slanted slider 17 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 and on one side of cylinder 2 13. The tilt angle of the slanted slider 17 can be designed according to the requirements of different workpieces. When cylinder 2 13 retracts, the receiving plate 16 is pushed by the slanted slider 17 to rotate around the axis. The workpiece slides down the inclined plane due to gravity. A discharge plate 18 is installed on the other side of the slanted slider 17. When cylinder 2 13 pushes the connecting block 14 to drive the receiving plate 16 to retract, one side of the receiving plate 16 tilts along the slanted slider 17, so that the workpiece can slide down the receiving plate 16 onto the discharge plate 18.

[0032] Please see Figure 3It is worth noting that a material holding frame 19 is provided on one side of the frame 1. A through groove 20 is opened inside the material holding frame 19. The end of the discharge plate 18 away from the inclined slider 17 extends through the through groove 20 into the material holding frame 19. Through the cooperation of the loading mechanism 4 and the unloading mechanism 5, the workpieces can be automatically loaded and unloaded, which can save manpower and improve the processing accuracy of the workpieces. At the same time, the loading mechanism 4 and the unloading mechanism 5 have a compact structure and occupy a small area, which can save space.

[0033] The working principle of this solution is as follows:

[0034] First, the workpieces in the hopper 2 are automatically arranged by vibration or gravity. The cylinder 21 pushes the push rod 24 to push one workpiece from the discharge hole 22 to the position to be grabbed each time.

[0035] Next, cylinder 8 moves downward, driving concave frame 9 to move so that clamping sleeve 11 is aligned with workpiece; electric push rod 10 extends and clamps workpiece through clamping sleeve 11. Cylinder 8 continues to move downward, transferring workpiece into first fixture 3. At the same time, moving component 6 drives second fixture 23 to move horizontally, positioning the other end of workpiece.

[0036] Secondly, after processing is completed, cylinder 213 moves downward, which in turn drives the receiving plate 16 to be positioned below the workpiece via connecting block 14. At the same time, second clamp 23 moves outward, and first clamp 3 moves inward, causing the workpiece to fall into the groove of receiving plate 16.

[0037] Finally, cylinder 13 retracts, receiving plate 16 tilts along inclined slider 17, and workpiece slides along discharge plate 18 into holding frame 19; when cylinder 13 moves forward, spring 15 automatically resets receiving plate 16, waiting for the next workpiece.

[0038] Cylinder 8, cylinder 13, cylinder 21 and electric push rod 10 can all be purchased from the market. Cylinder 8, cylinder 13, cylinder 21 and electric push rod 10 are all equipped with power supplies. This is a mature technology in the field and has been fully disclosed. Therefore, it will not be repeated in the specification.

[0039] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any modifications or variations.
