[0002] The working position of existing metal component processing equipment is often a certain height above the ground. In the processing workshop, it is necessary to use a crane to lift and move the metal components to the processing position. However, the manual operation of hooking and lifting metal components by the crane is cumbersome and inefficient. Moreover, the metal components swing when the crane is lifting, which can easily lead to safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a metal component feeding device, the main purpose of which is to improve the efficiency of metal component feeding.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model mainly provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] This utility model provides a metal component feeding device, which includes: a base, a conveyor belt assembly, and a lifting part;

[0006] The conveyor belt group includes a first multi-row conveyor belt group and a second multi-row conveyor belt group. The first multi-row conveyor belt group and the second multi-row conveyor belt group are arranged sequentially on the base. The working surface height of the first multi-row conveyor belt group is lower than the working surface height of the second multi-row conveyor belt group. The conveyor belt spacing of the first multi-row conveyor belt group and the conveyor belt spacing of the second multi-row conveyor belt group correspond one-to-one.

[0007] The lifting unit includes multiple parallelogram mechanisms, which are disposed between the first multi-row conveyor belt group and the second multi-row conveyor belt group. Each parallelogram mechanism corresponds to a conveyor belt interval of the first multi-row conveyor belt group and a conveyor belt interval of the second multi-row conveyor belt group. The multiple parallelogram mechanisms share a hydraulic cylinder for driving the metal component to transfer between the first multi-row conveyor belt group and the second multi-row conveyor belt group.

[0008] The purpose of this utility model and the technical problems to be solved can be further achieved by the following technical measures.

[0009] Optionally, the multiple conveyor belts of the first multi-row conveyor belt group share a first drive wheel, the first drive wheel is located at the starting end of the first multi-row conveyor belt group, and the multiple conveyor belts of the first multi-row conveyor belt group are respectively equipped with a first driven wheel, the first driven wheel is located at the end of the first multi-row conveyor belt group.

[0010] Optionally, multiple conveyor belts in the second multi-row conveyor belt group share a second drive wheel, which is located at the end of the second multi-row conveyor belt group. Each of the multiple conveyor belts in the second multi-row conveyor belt group is equipped with a second driven wheel, which is located at the beginning of the second multi-row conveyor belt group.

[0011] Optionally, the first multi-row conveyor belt group further includes a plurality of first support plates, each of which is disposed below one of the conveyor belt working surfaces of the first multi-row conveyor belt group.

[0012] Optionally, the second multi-row conveyor belt group further includes a plurality of second support plates, each of which is disposed below one of the conveyor belt working surfaces of the second multi-row conveyor belt group.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes a first Hall element, a second Hall element, and a magnet. The first Hall element is mounted on the end side of the first multi-row conveyor belt group, the second Hall element is mounted on the starting end side of the second multi-row conveyor belt group, and the magnet is mounted on the front connecting rod shaft side of the parallelogram mechanism to make the magnet correspond to the first Hall element or the second Hall element.

[0014] Optionally, it may also include multiple buffer plates, each of which is connected by a spring to the upper side of the top link of one of the parallelogram mechanisms.

[0015] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0016] The front connecting rods of multiple parallelogram mechanisms are connected to a crossbar, the middle of which is hinged to one end of a hydraulic cylinder, and the other end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to a base.

[0017] The starting position of the top connecting rod of the parallelogram mechanism is lower than the working surface of the first multi-row conveyor belt group. The first multi-row conveyor belt group drives the metal component to move towards the top connecting rod of the parallelogram mechanism. When the metal component moves above the top connecting rod of the parallelogram mechanism, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder extends, causing the front connecting rod of the parallelogram mechanism to swing backward, thereby driving the top connecting rod of the parallelogram mechanism to move to the conveyor belt interval of the second multi-row conveyor belt group. During the above process, the top connecting rod of the parallelogram mechanism drives the metal component to rise to the starting end of the working surface of the second multi-row conveyor belt group, thereby facilitating the movement of the metal component with the working surface of the second multi-row conveyor belt group, and finally lifting and translating the metal component to the metal component processing work position.

[0018] In the above process, there is no need for manual connection of the crane hook and metal components, the handling process is smooth, and the efficiency of loading metal components is improved. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model to achieve its intended purpose, the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects according to this utility model application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "embodiments" or "embodiments" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a metal component feeding device, which includes: a base 1, a conveyor belt assembly, and a lifting part;

[0028] The conveyor belt group includes a first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 and a second multi-row conveyor belt group 3. The first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 and the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3 are arranged sequentially on the base 1. The working surface height of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 is lower than the working surface height of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3. The conveyor belt spacing of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 and the conveyor belt spacing of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3 correspond one-to-one.

[0029] The lifting unit includes multiple parallelogram mechanisms, which are arranged between the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 and the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3. Each parallelogram mechanism corresponds to a conveyor belt interval in the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 and a conveyor belt interval in the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3. The multiple parallelogram mechanisms share a hydraulic cylinder 4, which is used to drive the metal components to transfer between the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 and the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3.

[0030] The working process of the metal component feeding device is as follows:

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the front connecting rods 6 of multiple parallelogram mechanisms are connected to the crossbar 5. The middle part of the crossbar 5 is hinged to one end of the hydraulic cylinder 4, and the other end of the hydraulic cylinder 4 is hinged to the base 1.

[0032] The starting position of the top connecting rod 7 of the parallelogram mechanism is lower than the working surface of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2. The first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 drives the metal component to move towards the top connecting rod 7 of the parallelogram mechanism. When the metal component moves above the top connecting rod 7 of the parallelogram mechanism, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4 extends, causing the front connecting rod 6 of the parallelogram mechanism to swing backward, thereby driving the top connecting rod 7 of the parallelogram mechanism to move to the conveyor belt interval of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3. During the above process, the top connecting rod 7 of the parallelogram mechanism drives the metal component to rise to the starting end of the working surface of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3, thereby facilitating the movement of the metal component with the working surface of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3, and finally lifting and translating the metal component to the metal component processing work position.

[0033] The above process was smooth, which improved the efficiency of loading metal components.

[0034] Specifically, each parallelogram mechanism includes a front connecting rod 6, a top connecting rod 7, and a rear connecting rod 8. The lower ends of the front connecting rod 6 and the rear connecting rod 8 are respectively hinged to the base 1, and the upper ends of the front connecting rod 6 and the rear connecting rod 8 are respectively hinged to the opposite ends of the top connecting rod 7.

[0035] In a specific implementation, the multiple conveyor belts of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 share a first drive wheel 9, the first drive wheel 9 is located at the starting end of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2, and the multiple conveyor belts of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 are respectively equipped with first driven wheels 10, the first driven wheels 10 are located at the end of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first drive wheel 9 is located at the starting end of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2, which facilitates the first drive wheel 9 to synchronously drive the working surface transmission of multiple conveyor belts. Multiple first driven wheels 10 are located at the end of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2. Multiple first driven wheels 10 are independent of each other, and there is no mutual interference between the connecting rod of the parallelogram mechanism and the wheel axle of the first driven wheel 10.

[0037] Specifically, the first drive wheel 9 is coaxially connected to the first drive motor 11.

[0038] In a specific implementation, multiple conveyor belts of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3 share a second drive wheel 12, which is located at the end of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3. Each of the multiple conveyor belts of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3 is equipped with a second driven wheel 13, which is located at the beginning of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3.

[0039] In this embodiment, the second drive wheel 12 is located at the end of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3, which facilitates the second drive wheel 12 to synchronously drive the working surface transmission of multiple conveyor belts. Multiple second driven wheels 13 are located at the beginning of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3. The multiple second driven wheels 13 are independent of each other, and there is no mutual interference between the connecting rod of the parallelogram mechanism and the wheel axle of the second driven wheel 13.

[0040] Specifically, the second drive wheel 12 is coaxially connected to the second drive motor 14.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 also includes a plurality of first support plates 15, each of which is disposed below one of the conveyor belt working surfaces of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, specifically, during the process of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2 moving the metal components, the first support plate 15 plays the role of supporting the conveyor belt and the metal components, and preventing the working surface of the conveyor belt from collapsing downward.

[0043] Specifically, two adjacent first support plates 15 are fixedly connected, the first drive wheel 9 is rotatably connected to one end of the first support plate 15, the first driven wheel 10 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first support plate 15, and the conveyor belt is tensioned between the first drive wheel 9 and the first driven wheel 10, thereby improving the overall integrity of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3 also includes a plurality of second support plates 16, each of which is disposed below one of the conveyor belt working surfaces of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, specifically, during the process of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3 moving the metal components, the second support plate 16 plays the role of supporting the conveyor belt and the metal components, preventing the working surface of the conveyor belt from collapsing downwards.

[0046] Specifically, two adjacent second support plates 16 are fixedly connected, the second drive wheel 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the first support plate 15, the second driven wheel 13 is rotatably connected to the other end of the second support plate 16, and the conveyor belt is tensioned between the second drive wheel 12 and the second driven wheel 13, thereby improving the overall integrity of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, it also includes a first Hall element 17, a second Hall element 18, and a magnet 19. The first Hall element 17 is installed on the end side of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2, the second Hall element 18 is installed on the starting end side of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3, and the magnet 19 is installed on the shaft side of the front connecting rod 6 of the parallelogram mechanism, so that the magnet 19 corresponds to the first Hall element 17 or the second Hall element 18.

[0048] In this embodiment, specifically, the first Hall element 17 and the second Hall element 18 are connected to the input terminal of the controller, and the output terminal of the controller is connected to the two-position valve of the hydraulic system where the hydraulic cylinder 4 is located.

[0049] When magnet 19 and the first Hall element 17 correspond, the piston rod of hydraulic cylinder 4 is in a retracted state, and the top connecting rod 7 of parallelogram mechanism is located at the conveyor belt interval of the first multi-row conveyor belt group 2; when magnet 19 and the second Hall element 18 correspond, the piston rod of hydraulic cylinder 4 is in an extended state, and the top connecting rod 7 of parallelogram mechanism is located at the conveyor belt interval of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3.

[0050] By aligning magnet 19 with the first Hall element 17 or the second Hall element 18, the extreme positions at both ends of the swing trajectory of the parallelogram mechanism are fixed.

[0051] When the magnet 19 and the second Hall element 18 are aligned, the position of the top link 7 of the parallelogram mechanism (which is lower than the working surface of the second multi-row conveyor belt group 3) is lower than the highest point of the movement trajectory of the top link 7 (which is higher than the working surface of the second multi-row conveyor belt group), thereby causing the metal component and the top link 7 of the parallelogram mechanism to disengage.

[0052] When the piston rod of hydraulic cylinder 4 is in the retracted state, hydraulic cylinder 4 is in the default starting state as set by the controller.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, it also includes multiple buffer plates 20, each buffer plate 20 being connected to the upper side of the top link 7 of one of the parallelogram mechanisms by a spring 21.

[0054] In this embodiment, specifically, the buffer plate 20 is connected to the top link 7 of the parallelogram mechanism via a spring 21. When the top link 7 of the parallelogram mechanism swings upward and contacts the metal component, the spring 21 is compressed, so that the impact force on the buffer plate 20 is less than the impact force on the top link 7 directly contacting the metal component (without the spring 21 and the buffer plate 20), thereby extending the service life of the parallelogram mechanism.

[0055] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
