Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of cutting machine tool technology, and in particular to a cutting machine tool feeder. Background Technology
[0002] Cylindrical workpieces are widely used in the field of mechanical manufacturing. Nuts and threaded sleeves are key connecting parts with extremely high requirements for dimensional accuracy and surface quality. They need to be processed by high-precision machine tools such as turning, milling, and drilling to ensure that parameters such as thread accuracy and concentricity meet the standards.
[0003] Loading the machine tool is the primary step in workpiece processing, and its efficiency and stability directly affect the subsequent processing quality and production schedule. The loading process requires precise control of the workpiece's position and orientation to accurately deliver the workpiece to the machine tool's processing area, laying the foundation for cutting, grinding, and other processes. A reasonable loading method can make the machine tool processing flow smoother and more efficient.
[0004] However, traditional feeding methods for cutting machine tools, such as manual feeding, have obvious drawbacks. Manual feeding relies on operators to place workpieces manually, which is not only labor-intensive but also prone to placement deviations, affecting machining accuracy. At the same time, the efficiency of manual operation is limited and it is difficult to keep up with the theoretical machining speed of the machine tool, causing the machine tool to idle and wait, which limits the improvement of the overall machining efficiency of the machine tool and makes it difficult to meet the needs of high-efficiency mass production. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the low efficiency, deviation, and impact on production efficiency of traditional manual feeding, by providing a cutting machine tool feeder.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A cutting machine tool feed rack includes a support plate, a feed plate fixed to the side of the support plate, two symmetrically arranged mounting rods fixed to the upper end of the support plate, mounting plates fixed to the sides of the mounting rods, a cutting machine tool body for mounting the support plate at the end of the support plate, a feeding structure on the side of the mounting plate, the feeding structure including two uprights mounted on the side of the mounting plate, the uprights being symmetrically arranged, an abutment rod mounted on the side of the uprights, a material placement groove between the uprights and the abutment rods, and a feeding assembly between the support plate and the feed plate.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple cylindrical workpieces are stacked in a row between two uprights, so that the two ends of the workpieces are located in the two material placement slots respectively, and then a portion of the workpieces are placed into the storage slot. The workpiece at the bottom of the material placement slot will fall into the feeding slot. When processing begins, the feeding component will realize the feeding.
[0009] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a telescopic cylinder fixed to the lower end of the support plate. A connecting plate is fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder. A feeding rod is installed on the connecting plate. A feeding groove is opened at the upper end of the feeding plate. The feeding rod is slidably disposed inside the feeding groove. The position of the feeding groove corresponds to the position of the material placement groove.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder retracts, driving the feeding rod to move inside the feeding groove. During the movement, the rod pushes the workpiece inside the feeding groove and pushes the workpiece into the feed port on the cutting machine body, thereby realizing the pushing of the workpiece.
[0011] Furthermore, a guide groove is provided at the upper end of the support plate, and a guide rod is slidably disposed inside the guide groove. The end of the guide rod away from the support plate is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod and guide groove can play a guiding and further supporting role, making the feeding process smoother.
[0013] Furthermore, a storage plate is fixed to the side of the upright away from the contact rod, and a storage groove is formed on the surface of the storage plate.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage tank is used to store the workpieces to be processed.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the storage tank is inclined, and the inclination is directed towards the feeding tank.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined storage trough allows the workpiece inside the storage trough to fall into the feeding trough under the action of gravity, making it more convenient to feed materials.
[0017] Furthermore, the upright and the abutment rod are connected by a first adjusting bolt, and the first adjusting bolt is threaded to both the upright and the abutment rod.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the upright and the contact rod can be adjusted by the first adjusting bolt, thereby enabling the storage of workpieces of different diameters within a certain range, and thus realizing the pushing of workpieces of different diameters.
[0019] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with an adjustment groove, and a second adjustment bolt is slidably disposed inside the adjustment groove. The second adjustment bolt is threadedly connected to the upright.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to process workpieces of different lengths, the second adjusting bolt is loosened to adjust the position between the two uprights, and then the second adjusting bolt is tightened to achieve the processing of workpieces of different lengths.
[0021] Furthermore, a bearing plate is fixed to the lower end of the support plate, and a connecting frame is fixed to the lower end of the bearing plate. The connecting frame is fixedly connected to the cutting machine tool body.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the bearing plate and the connecting frame are used to install the entire feeding frame on the side of the cutting machine tool body, so that the feeding frame feeds the cutting machine tool body.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;
[0024] 1. In this application, when machining a workpiece, multiple cylindrical workpieces are stacked inside a material placement trough. The workpiece at the bottom of the placement trough falls into a feeding trough. At the start of machining, a telescopic cylinder retracts, driving a feeding rod to complete material conveying. After feeding, the telescopic cylinder extends, allowing the next workpiece to be processed to automatically fall into the feeding trough. After the workpiece is finished, the telescopic cylinder is activated again to retract its retracted end, triggering a new round of feeding action. The entire feeding process achieves highly continuous automated operation through the cyclic linkage of the hydraulic system and the mechanical structure, significantly reducing manual intervention, significantly improving feeding efficiency and production continuity, and providing high placement accuracy, reducing deviations.
[0025] 2. In this application, when processing workpieces of different diameters within a certain range, tightening or loosening the first adjusting bolt adjusts the distance between the upright and the contact rod, thus making it suitable for workpieces of different diameters and improving the applicability of the feeding rack. When processing workpieces of different lengths, loosening the second adjusting bolt allows the upright to move on the mounting plate, and the distance between the two uprights is adjusted according to the length of the workpiece. After adjustment, the second adjusting bolt is tightened again, thereby enabling the placement of workpieces of different lengths, further improving the applicability of the feeding rack.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0034] This application discloses a feed rack for a cutting machine tool.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A cutting machine tool feed rack includes a support plate 1, a feed plate 11 fixed to the side of the support plate 1, two symmetrically arranged mounting rods 12 fixed to the upper end of the support plate 1, a mounting plate 13 fixed to the side of the mounting rods 12, a cutting machine tool body 14 for mounting the support plate 1 at the end of the support plate 1, and a feeding structure on the side of the mounting plate 13.
[0036] When in use, the feeder is used in conjunction with the cutting machine body 14. During use, the workpiece is placed inside the feeder structure, and the feeder structure can achieve feeding with high efficiency and less manual intervention, which is more conducive to processing the workpiece.
[0037] Reference Figure 2-Figure 2 The feeding structure includes two uprights 2 installed on the side of the mounting plate 13. The uprights 2 are arranged symmetrically. An abutment rod 21 is installed on the side of the uprights 2. A material placement groove 22 is provided between the uprights 2 and the abutment rod 21. A feeding assembly is provided between the support plate 1 and the feeding plate 11.
[0038] The feeding assembly includes a telescopic cylinder 25 fixed to the lower end of the support plate 1. A connecting plate 253 is fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 25. A feeding rod 251 is installed on the connecting plate 253. A feeding groove 252 is opened at the upper end of the feeding plate 11. The feeding rod 251 is slidably disposed inside the feeding groove 252. The position of the feeding groove 252 corresponds to the position of the material placement groove 22.
[0039] In addition, a storage plate 23 is fixed on the side of the upright 2 away from the contact rod 21, and a storage groove 24 is opened on the surface of the storage plate 23.
[0040] Furthermore, the bottom of the storage tank 24 is inclined, and the inclination is directed towards the material placement tank 22.
[0041] During machining, multiple cylindrical workpieces are stacked in a row between two uprights 2, with both ends of the workpieces positioned inside the two placement slots 22. A portion of the workpieces are then placed into the storage slot 24. The workpiece at the bottom of the placement slot 22 falls into the feeding slot 252. At the start of machining, the telescopic cylinder 25 is controlled to retract its telescopic end. This retraction moves the connecting plate 253, which in turn moves the feeding rod 251. During feeding, the rod slides within the feeding slot 252, pushing the feeding slot 252 forward. The workpiece inside is fed into the cutting machine tool. After feeding is completed, the telescopic cylinder 25 extends, driving the feeding rod 251 to move away from the position of the placement groove 22. Then the workpiece inside the placement groove 22 will fall back into the feeding groove 252. When the previous workpiece is processed, the telescopic cylinder 25 is activated again, causing its telescopic end to retract, and feeding is carried out again. The above actions are repeated to achieve feeding. The entire feeding process is highly continuous, requires less manual intervention, improves feeding efficiency, and has high placement accuracy, reducing deviation.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The upper end of the support plate 1 is provided with a guide groove 254, and a guide rod 255 is slidably arranged inside the guide groove 254. The end of the guide rod 255 away from the support plate 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 253.
[0043] When the telescopic cylinder 25 moves the connecting plate 253, the guide rod 255 moves along with it. The guide rod 255 moves inside the guide groove 254. The guide rod 255 and the guide groove 254 work together to guide and further support the material, thus improving the stability of the feeding process.
[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upright 2 and the abutment rod 21 are connected by the first adjusting bolt 26, and the first adjusting bolt 26 is threaded to both the upright 2 and the abutment rod 21.
[0045] When processing workpieces of different diameters within a certain range, tightening or loosening the first adjusting bolt 26 adjusts the distance between the upright 2 and the contact rod 21, thereby making it suitable for workpieces of different diameters and improving the applicability of the feeding rack.
[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 An adjustment groove 27 is provided on the mounting plate 13, and a second adjustment bolt 271 is slidably disposed inside the adjustment groove 27. The second adjustment bolt 271 is threadedly connected to the upright 2.
[0047] When processing workpieces of different lengths, loosen the second adjusting bolt 271 to move the upright 2 on the mounting plate 13. Adjust the distance between the two uprights 2 according to the length of the workpiece. After adjustment, tighten the second adjusting bolt 271 to accommodate workpieces of different lengths, thereby further improving the applicability of the feeding rack.
[0048] A bearing plate 3 is fixed to the lower end of the support plate 1, and a connecting frame 31 is fixed to the lower end of the bearing plate 3. The connecting frame 31 is fixedly connected to the cutting machine tool body 14.
[0049] The support plate 1 is used to connect the feeder to the connecting frame 31, and the connecting frame 31 is used to connect to the cutting machine tool body 14, so that the feeder can be connected to the cutting machine tool.
[0050] In use, the feeding rack is used in conjunction with the machine tool body 14. The feeding rack is connected to the machine tool body 14 via the connecting frame 31. When processing workpieces, multiple cylindrical workpieces are stacked in a row between two uprights 2, so that both ends of the workpieces are located inside the two placement slots 22. A portion of the workpieces are then placed into the storage slot 24. The workpiece at the bottom of the placement slot 22 falls into the feeding slot 252. At the start of processing, the telescopic cylinder 25 is controlled to retract its telescopic end. During retraction, the connecting plate 253 moves. The moving plate 253 drives the feeding rod 251 to slide inside the feeding groove 252 during feeding. This pushes the workpiece inside the feeding groove 252 and feeds it into the cutting machine tool. After feeding is completed, the telescopic cylinder 25 extends, driving the feeding rod 251 to move away from the position of the placement groove 22. Then the workpiece inside the placement groove 22 will fall back into the feeding groove 252. When the previous workpiece is finished, the telescopic cylinder 25 is activated again to retract its telescopic end and feed again. The above actions are repeated to achieve feeding.
[0051] When processing workpieces of different diameters within a certain range, tightening or loosening the first adjusting bolt 26 adjusts the distance between the upright 2 and the contact rod 21, thus adapting to workpieces of different diameters. When processing workpieces of different lengths, loosening the second adjusting bolt 271 allows the upright 2 to move on the mounting plate 13, adjusting the distance between the two uprights 2 according to the length of the workpiece. After adjustment, tightening the second adjusting bolt 271 allows for the placement of workpieces of different lengths.
