Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial machine tool technology, and in particular to a feeding device for industrial machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial machine tools are the cornerstone of modern manufacturing, among which pipe cutting machines are widely used. In pipe cutting, loading is the first step. Currently, existing technologies generally use manual loading, that is, the operator manually lifts the single pipe from the stack, aligns it, and places it into the processing station of the cutting machine.

[0003] However, this manual feeding method is inefficient and severely restricts the high-speed processing capability of the cutting machine, becoming a bottleneck for the overall production line efficiency. Currently, some automated feeding devices, such as robotic arms or gripping mechanisms, can also grab, transport, and place materials. Although these devices reduce the intensity of manual labor, the cost of using robotic arms is relatively high. At the same time, their working mode is mostly single-piece intermittent feeding, that is, after completing the feeding action of one pipe, the next piece can only be grabbed after resetting. Therefore, the feeding efficiency still needs to be improved.

[0004] Therefore, in order to further optimize the efficiency and stability of existing raw material feeding, we propose a feeding device for industrial machine tools. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as low production efficiency due to manual feeding, which severely restricts the high-speed processing capability of cutting machines, and to propose a feeding device for industrial machine tools.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Design a feeding device for an industrial machine tool, including:

[0008] The machine tool and the hopper installed at an angle within the machine tool;

[0009] A lifting mechanism is installed inside the machine tool, and the hopper has an opening on its side facing the lifting mechanism.

[0010] The machine tool is detachably connected to the top of the machine tool, and a pushing mechanism is installed on the side of the machine tool to push the tube in the guide frame outward. A clamping component is also installed on the side of the machine tool above the guide frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes several lifting plates and several fixing plates;

[0012] A plurality of lifting plates and fixed plates are arranged alternately in sequence, the fixed plates are fixed inside the machine base, and the plurality of lifting plates are connected by rods;

[0013] The machine tool has a pusher installed on its inner bottom, and the pusher is connected to one of the lifting plates.

[0014] Furthermore, the guide frame includes a positioning opening and two bent arms formed on both sides of the positioning opening;

[0015] A guide slope is formed on the bending arm near the lifting mechanism, and a first guide ring is formed on the inner side of the bending arm. A guide rod that slides with the first guide ring is fixedly installed inside the machine base.

[0016] Furthermore, a notch is formed on the outer side of the first guide ring, and a spring plug is embedded on the outer side of the guide rod, with the telescopic end of the spring plug engaging with the notch.

[0017] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing rod passing through the machine base, the bottom of the pushing rod being formed with a rack portion, a motor being fixedly installed on the side of the machine base, and a gear meshing with the rack portion being fixedly installed on the shaft end of the motor.

[0018] Furthermore, a second guide ring is fixedly installed on the side of the machine tool via a support rod. The second guide ring has an opening to avoid the rack portion, and the second guide ring and the push rod are slidably connected.

[0019] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a mounting plate fixed to the side of the machine tool, a cylinder fixedly mounted above the mounting plate, and a roller assembly fixedly mounted on the shaft end of the cylinder.

[0020] The present invention provides a feeding device for an industrial machine tool, which has the following advantages: By setting up a lifting mechanism and a hopper in coordination, the present invention achieves continuous automatic feeding of pipe fittings. The hopper is located at a low position, which facilitates the batch filling of raw materials by manual or mechanical means. The lifting mechanism continuously conveys the pipe fittings in the hopper upwards. Subsequently, the pushing mechanism pushes the lifted pipe fittings to the feeding station of the industrial machine tool, thereby completing the entire raw material feeding process. The overall structure is simple and efficient, effectively improving the feeding efficiency of pipe fitting raw materials. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-7 In one embodiment of this utility model, a feeding device for an industrial machine tool is disclosed. Specifically, the feeding device includes a machine base 1 and a hopper 2 installed at an incline in the machine base 1. Of course, in this embodiment, a foot is also provided at the bottom of the machine base 1 to adaptively adjust the height of the entire machine base 1. In addition, the industrial machine tool in this embodiment can be a cutting machine. The feeding device pushes the pipe to be cut to the cutting position of the cutting machine for cutting operation.

[0031] A lifting mechanism 3 is installed inside the machine tool 1. The material bin 2 has an opening on its side, which faces the lifting mechanism 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the material bin 2 is tilted to the side facing the lifting mechanism 3, and the opening is located below the tilt direction. With this configuration, when the pipe to be processed is placed inside the material bin 2, it can slide down to the lifting mechanism 3 by gravity to achieve lifting.

[0032] The machine base 1 is detachably connected to the top of the guide frame 4, and a pushing mechanism 5 is installed on the side of the machine base 1. The pushing mechanism 5 is used to push the tube in the guide frame 4 outward. A clamping component 6 is also installed on the side of the machine base 1 above the guide frame 4.

[0033] In other words, this utility model achieves continuous automatic feeding of pipe fittings by setting up the lifting mechanism 3 and the hopper 2 in coordination. The hopper 2 is located at a low position, which facilitates the batch filling of raw materials by manual or mechanical means. The lifting mechanism 3 continuously conveys the pipe fittings in the hopper 2 upwards. Subsequently, the pushing mechanism 5 pushes the lifted pipe fittings to the feeding station of the industrial machine, thereby completing the entire raw material feeding process.

[0034] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 3 of the present invention includes a plurality of lifting plates 31 and a plurality of fixing plates 32;

[0035] A plurality of lifting plates 31 and fixed plates 32 are arranged alternately in sequence, the fixed plates 32 are fixed inside the machine base 1, and the plurality of lifting plates 31 are connected by rods 33;

[0036] The machine base 1 has a pusher 34 installed on its inner bottom, and the pusher 34 is connected to one of the lifting plates 31.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pusher 34 can be configured as a hydraulic cylinder, which is pinned to the inside of the machine base 1. Of course, the shaft end of the hydraulic cylinder can be connected to the side of the lifting plate 31 through a connecting seat.

[0038] In addition, the lifting plate 31 and the fixing plate 32 described in this embodiment are also inclined. In the initial position, the upper sides of the lifting plate 31 and the fixing plate 32 are flush. During the lifting operation, the pusher 34 pushes the lifting plate 31 to move upward. The bottom lifting plate 31 lifts the pipe to the upper fixing plate 32. This process is repeated continuously to achieve continuous conveying of the pipe until the pipe is conveyed into the inside of the guide frame 4.

[0039] It should be noted that the thickness of the lifting plate 31 in this embodiment is matched with the diameter of the pipe fitting to ensure that only one pipe fitting is lifted at a time.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the guide frame 4 includes a positioning opening 41 and two bent arms 42 formed on both sides of the positioning opening 41. The positioning opening 41 faces upward and is used to accommodate the tube. Preferably, in this embodiment, the width of the positioning opening 41 is adapted to the diameter of the tube to ensure the stability of the tube when it is pushed.

[0041] A guide slope 43 is formed on the bending arm 42 near the lifting mechanism 3, and a first guide ring 44 is formed on the inner side of the bending arm 42. A guide rod 11 that slides with the first guide ring 44 is fixedly installed inside the machine base 1.

[0042] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, a notch 441 is formed on the outer side of the first guide ring 44, and a spring plug 111 is embedded on the outer side of the guide rod 11. The telescopic end of the spring plug 111 is engaged with the notch 441.

[0043] In other words, since the width of the positioning opening 41 is compatible with the diameter of the pipe fitting, in order to adapt to different pipe fittings, the guide frame 4 in this embodiment is designed as a detachable connection design. If it needs to be replaced, press the spring plugs 111 on both sides. The specific structure of the spring plug 111 includes a sleeve, a spring and a limiting post. Its specific structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] When the telescopic end of the spring stopper 111 is pressed, the entire guide frame 4 can slide outward, and then a new guide frame 4 can be replaced.

[0045] In some embodiments, the pushing mechanism 5 of the present invention includes a pushing rod 51 passing through the machine base 1, the bottom of the pushing rod 51 is formed with a rack portion 52, a motor 53 is fixedly installed on the side of the machine base 1, and a gear 54 that meshes with the rack portion 52 is fixedly installed on the shaft end of the motor 53.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rack part 52 is driven to move linearly by the motor 53 and the gear 54, thereby driving the push rod 51 to move linearly. The end of the push rod 51 is placed in the positioning opening 41 of the guide frame 4. When the tube is lifted and falls into the positioning opening 41, the lifting mechanism 3 stops lifting, and then the push rod 51 pushes the tube to move outward to send the tube into the industrial machine.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to support and guide the push rod 51, a second guide ring 56 is fixedly installed on the side of the machine base 1 in this embodiment via a support rod 55. The second guide ring 56 has an opening to avoid the rack portion 52. The second guide ring 56 and the push rod 51 are slidably connected. That is, the second guide ring 56 in this embodiment has an arc-shaped structure. The second guide ring 56 supports the far end of the push rod 51 to ensure its stability of movement.

[0048] It should be noted that the pressing assembly 6 in this embodiment includes a mounting plate 61 fixed to the side of the machine base 1, a cylinder 62 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 61, and a roller assembly 63 fixedly mounted on the shaft end of the cylinder 62.

[0049] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 6 can be configured in multiple sets to improve the clamping stability of the pipe fitting. Of course, the roller assembly 63 includes a wheel frame and rollers rotatably connected in the wheel frame. The clamping force of the rollers ensures the stability of the pipe fitting transport. Specifically, a cylinder is also installed on the industrial machine tool, and a pressure block is fixedly installed on the shaft end of the cylinder. This design ensures that the pipe fitting is clamped and fixed during processing to avoid circumferential rotation. This method is a conventional method for those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated on here.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
