Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal column processing technology, specifically a metal column feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of metal processing, metal columns, as basic components, are widely used in many industries such as machinery manufacturing, auto parts, and building hardware. With the continuous development of industrial production, higher and higher requirements are being placed on the processing efficiency, precision and automation of metal columns. As the first step in the metal column processing flow, the level of automation of the feeding process directly affects the continuity of subsequent processing steps and production efficiency.

[0003] Traditional methods of feeding metal columns have significant limitations. Feeding on conveyor tables can only achieve horizontal or inclined conveying and cannot independently complete vertical posture adjustment, requiring the assistance of robotic arms or manual labor, resulting in cumbersome processes and low efficiency. While robotic arm-assisted feeding improves automation, the equipment and control system are expensive, and the delicate structure is prone to failure, making maintenance difficult and requiring highly skilled operators, thus increasing the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises. Manual feeding is inefficient, prone to positional deviations due to fatigue affecting processing accuracy, posing safety hazards, and unable to guarantee a stable feeding rhythm, resulting in equipment idleness or congestion, reducing the overall production line operating efficiency.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-7 This embodiment of a metal column feeding device includes a material platform 1, a vertical frame 11, and a frame 15. A feeding assembly is installed on the material platform 1 to achieve orderly conveying of the metal columns. An upper plate 12 is fixed to the top of the vertical frame 11. One end of the front of the upper plate 12 is fixed with a guide pipe 14 via a locking block. The top of the guide pipe 14 can be locked and fixed together with another guide pipe 14 via a locking block 13 as needed. Typically, a single pipe is used for guiding and feeding the metal columns. When two pipes are used, the metal columns are pushed to the upper guide pipe 14 for storage before being transferred to other equipment for sorting and discharge. The top of the frame 15 is fixed with... A push-rotating assembly is provided, with a clamping cylinder 23 installed on the rotating end of the push-rotating assembly. Each clamping end of the clamping cylinder 23 is fixed with a clamping block 24. The clamping block 24 is semi-cylindrical, and a V-shaped groove adapted to the metal column is opened on the opposite side. A clamping interval is formed between the two clamping blocks 24. This clamping interval can be connected to the feeding assembly and the guide tube 14 to clamp the metal column and adjust its posture. A push-pull assembly is also installed on the frame 15. The push-pull end of the push-pull assembly is locked with a push rod 18 that can pass through the clamping interval and extend into the guide tube 14. This is used to push the metal column from the clamping interval into the guide tube 14. The part is guided out by the guide tube 14 to complete the feeding.

[0023] The pushing and rotating assembly includes a side-push cylinder 19 fixed to the top of the platform 15. The piston rod of the side-push cylinder 19 is fixed with a side-push plate 20 that slides with the cylinder body. A rotating cylinder 22 is installed on the top of the side-push plate 20. A clamping cylinder 23 is installed on the rotating shaft of the rotating cylinder 22. The horizontal adjustment of the clamping position is achieved by the side-push cylinder, so that the clamping area can be connected with the feeding assembly, allowing the metal column to enter the clamping area better. At the same time, when the dual-tube discharge is used, the attitude of the metal column is adjusted by the rotation of the rotating cylinder to be opposite to the guide tube. The bottom of the guide tube can also be blocked by the clamping block through the rotation.

[0024] To further explain, a sensor 21 is installed on the side push plate 20 that is opposite to the clamping area. The sensor is used to detect whether there is a metal column at the clamping block to ensure the accurate triggering of the clamping action.

[0025] Secondly, the pushing assembly includes a pushing cylinder 16 fixed on the front of the platform 15. The piston rod of the pushing cylinder 16 is fixed with a pushing plate 17 that slides with the cylinder body. The push rod 18 is locked on the pushing plate 17. The pushing cylinder drives the push rod to push the metal column from the clamping area into the guide tube. Continuous pushing can push the metal column out and complete the transfer operation through an external transfer device.

[0026] In addition, the feeding assembly includes two sets of vibrating tables 2 and a material trough 3 fixed on the material platform 1. The top of the vibrating table 2 on the back is fixed with a discharge box 31 that docks with the material trough 3. The top of the vibrating table 2 on the front is equipped with a guide plate 6 that docks with the discharge box 31 and the top side of the material trough 3. The guide channel of the guide plate 6 is V-shaped. The tail end of the guide plate 6 docks with the clamping area. The bottom of the material trough is inclined and an inner top cylinder 4 is installed inside. The piston rod of the inner top cylinder 4 is fixed with an inner top box 5 that passes through the material trough 3 and can dock with the guide plate 6. The top of the inner top box is inclined. The vibrating table realizes the vibration and conveying of the material to the inclined surface of the material trough. The inner top cylinder and the inner top box push the metal column in the material trough to be flush with the guide plate. Through the inclined surface of the inner top box, the metal column slides into the V-shaped flow channel.

[0027] To further explain, the inward-facing side of the guide plate 6 is fixed with oppositely distributed side plates 61 and baffles 62. The side plates 61 are connected to the inner top box 5, and a baffle 7 is fixed at the top. A feeding area is formed on the opposite side between the side plates 61 and the baffles 62, and one end of the baffle 7 is located above the feeding area. The side plates, baffles, and baffles guide the metal pillars on the guide plate. When the metal pillars on the top of the inner top box are conveyed upright on the side plates, the baffles can guide the upright metal pillars to fall from the feeding area back into the discharge box, preventing blockage of the guide plate.

[0028] Secondly, an upper block 8 is fixed to the top of the tail end of the guide plate 6, and a lower cylinder 9 is installed on the upper block 8. The piston rod of the lower cylinder 9 is fixed with a V-shaped block that can extend into the guide channel of the guide plate 6. The lower cylinder drives the V-shaped block 10 to position the metal column at the tail end of the guide plate to achieve the pre-waiting function.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0030] Metal pillars are placed into the feeding box. Under the vibration of the corresponding vibrating table, the feeding box conveys the metal pillars to the material trough. The inclined surface at the bottom of the material trough causes the metal pillars to gather to one side. The inner top cylinder is activated, driving the inner top box to rise. The inclined surface at the top of the inner top box pushes the metal pillars in the material trough to the side plate. The inclination of the side plate guides the metal pillars into the guide channel of the guide plate. Under the vibration of the corresponding vibrating table, the guide plate carries the metal pillars along the guide plate. The side plate and baffle guide the pillars. The baffle prevents the pillars from being conveyed vertically; therefore, when moving forward, they can be pushed out by the baffle and fall from the unloading area into the feeding box, ensuring stable conveying of the pillars to the tail end of the guide plate. When the metal pillars reach the tail end of the guide plate, the lower top cylinder is activated. The V-block descends into the guide plate, positioning the metal column beforehand. A sensor detects the positioned metal column and sends a signal to the clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder drives two clamping blocks to close, precisely clamping the metal column through the V-grooves on the clamping blocks. A side-push cylinder activates, moving the side-push plate and causing the clamped metal column to move towards the guide tube. According to processing requirements, a rotary cylinder activates, rotating the clamping cylinder and the metal column to the desired position. The side-push cylinder continues to push, moving the metal column directly below the bottom of the guide tube. A top-push cylinder activates, driving the top-push plate upwards, which in turn raises the push rod. The push rod pushes the metal column from between the clamping blocks into the guide tube, where it rises along the guide tube to complete the loading process.

[0031] The aforementioned automated operation enables the entire process of conveying and adjusting the posture of metal columns to be automated, eliminating the need for manual assistance, reducing labor costs, and avoiding errors and safety hazards caused by manual operation.

[0032] The entire workflow is now complete, and anything not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
