[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding equipment technology, specifically a feeding device for a glass rod cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the glass rod cutting and processing industry, traditional feeding methods have many problems, seriously affecting production efficiency and operational safety. Specific problems are as follows:
[0003] Manual loading carries high risks: In existing technologies, operators typically need to load glass rods directly near the glass rod cutting machine. During operation, manually placing the glass rods poses a significant risk of burns and presents a major safety hazard.
[0004] Unstable glass rod placement: Existing technology lacks a stable placement and fixing structure for glass rods. When placing glass rods manually, the lack of a stable placement structure requires personnel to place the glass rods at certain intervals to ensure they correspond to the processing positions in the glass rod cutting machine, resulting in a heavy workload for workers.
[0005] In summary, the feeding devices of existing glass rod cutting machines suffer from problems such as low safety and low efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a feeding device for a glass rod cutting machine that can improve the safety, efficiency and stability of feeding, while having good adaptability and being easy to install and debug, which can solve the problems in the prior art.
[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A feeding device for a glass rod cutting machine includes a support, a top plate on the upper side of the support, characterized in that a placing component for placing glass rods is provided inside the top plate, a translation component for moving the support back and forth to achieve translational feeding is provided at the bottom of the support, a lifting component for raising the top plate for feeding is provided in the support, and a glass rod cutting machine support is also included, with a front support fixedly provided on the front side of the glass rod cutting machine support, and the translation component is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the front support and the glass rod cutting machine support.
[0008] A further technical solution is that the placement component includes an inner cavity disposed within the top plate, with placement racks fixedly disposed at both ends of the inner cavity, and the placement racks having multiple grooves for placing glass rods.
[0009] A further technical solution is that the cross-section of the groove is semi-circular in the lower half and rectangular in the upper half, and the groove runs through the placement rack.
[0010] A further technical solution includes a translation component comprising a guide rail structure that provides sliding guidance for the support, and a first rack fixedly disposed at the bottom of the support. A power gear structure is disposed on one side of the first rack, which enables the first rack and the support to translate along the guide rail structure through gear meshing.
[0011] A further technical solution includes a guide rail structure comprising a slide rail, on which multiple sliders are slidably disposed, and the sliders are connected and fixed to the bracket via concave assemblies.
[0012] A further technical solution is that the concave assembly includes a connector, the connector being concave, with its two sides higher than its middle position.
[0013] A further technical solution includes a power gear structure comprising a first mounting plate, a first motor fixedly mounted on the bottom of the first mounting plate, a first gear fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor, and the first gear meshing with the first rack.
[0014] A further technical solution includes a lifting assembly comprising a guide rod structure disposed between the bracket and the top plate, and a gear and rack lifting structure disposed between the top plate and the bracket to push the top plate upward.
[0015] A further technical solution includes a guide rod structure comprising multiple guide sleeves fixedly disposed in the bracket, a guide rod slidably disposed within the guide sleeves, and the guide rod being fixedly connected to the top plate.
[0016] A further technical solution includes a rack and pinion lifting structure comprising a support fixedly mounted on the bottom of the top plate, a second mounting plate fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support, a rack and pinion power assembly disposed between the second mounting plate and the support, the rack and pinion power assembly comprising a second motor fixedly mounted on one side of the second mounting plate, a second rack fixedly mounted on one side of the support, a second gear fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second motor, and the second gear meshing with the second rack.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, this device moves the support and top plate to the right, and after the top plate is loaded with glass rods, it moves upward relative to the support to connect with the working part of the glass rod cutting machine, thus realizing the glass rod loading process. During this process, the personnel only need to load the glass rods on one side of the glass rod cutting machine, and then load the glass rods into the glass rod cutting machine through this device, avoiding the need for personnel to directly load the glass rods into the glass rod cutting machine, which is very safe. In addition, it is also convenient and quick for personnel to place the glass rods in the placement rack.
[0018] Second, regarding the groove structure of the placement rack, its cross-section is semi-circular in the lower half and rectangular in the upper half, and the groove runs through the placement rack, which can stably place multiple glass rods.
[0019] Third, regarding the structural design of the connector, the slider is set to be concave, and the connector serves as a bridge between the slider and the bracket. Compared with directly connecting and fixing the connector to the slider, the protrusions on both sides of the connector have a certain elastic adjustment margin. That is, the bent protrusions on both sides of the connector are connected and fixed to the bracket by the second bolt. This technical feature enables the bracket to be better installed and fixed when installing and fixing the bracket, avoiding macroscopic component installation difficulties or inability to install due to microscopic dimensional deviations.

[0032] Advantageously, the translation component includes a guide rail structure that provides sliding guidance for the bracket 12, and a first rack 22 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the bracket 12. A power gear structure is provided on one side of the first rack 22, which enables the first rack 22 and the bracket 12 to translate along the guide rail structure by means of gear meshing.
[0033] Advantageously, the guide rail structure includes a slide rail 14, on which a plurality of sliders 15 are slidably disposed, and the sliders 15 are connected and fixed to the bracket 12 by a concave assembly.
[0034] Advantageously, the concave assembly includes a connector 16, which is concave. The two sides of the connector 16 are higher than the middle position of the connector 16, and the protrusions are fixedly connected to the bracket 12 by fasteners. Specifically, the bracket 12 is provided with through holes, and threaded holes are provided on the protrusions on both sides of the connector 16. A first bolt is provided to pass through the through holes and be threadedly connected to the threaded holes. The middle protrusion of the connector 16 is connected and fixed to the slider 15 by fasteners. Specifically, a through hole is provided in the middle protrusion of the connector 16, and a second bolt is provided in the through hole to connect and fix to the slider 15.
[0035] Advantageously, the power gear structure includes a first mounting plate 18, a first motor 33 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the first mounting plate 18, a first gear 34 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 33, and the first gear 34 meshes with the first rack 22.

[0041] The glass rods used in this device are fed by a hot adhesive bonding device in a glass rod cutting machine, and then cut into multiple small segments by the high-heat cutting blade of the glass rod cutting machine. These small segments of glass rods are used as decorations in digital inkjet printing products.
[0042] This device allows glass rods to be manually placed in the placement rack 32. During feeding, the glass rods in the placement rack 32 are fed into the glass rod cutting machine by the rearward movement of the support 12 and the upward movement of the top plate 13 relative to the support 12. After the glass rod cutting machine finishes processing the glass rods, the top plate 13 and the support 12 are reset, and the personnel can re-place the glass rods in the placement rack 32 to achieve feeding. This avoids the direct placement of glass rods into the glass rod cutting machine by manual labor, making it very safe.

Since the first gear 34 is meshed with the first rack 22 and the first rack 22 is fixedly connected to the bracket 12, the bracket 12 slides backward on the slide rail 14 through the connector 16 and the slider 15, so that the bracket 12 and the top plate 13 are located in the glass rod cutter.
[0044] When the top plate 13 is pushed upward relative to the support 12, the second motor 41 drives the second gear 42 to rotate. After the second gear 42 meshes with the second rack 43, the top plate 13 can be pushed upward through the second rack 43 and the stand 44. Since the placement frame 32, the inner cavity 31 and the glass rod are all set in the top plate 13, the top plate 13 indirectly drives the glass rod to move upward and dock with the glass rod cutting machine.
[0045] When the bracket 12 and the top plate 13 are reset, it is also achieved by the first motor 33 and the second motor 41 working in reverse, that is, the top plate 13 and the bracket 12 are driven to move to the initial position so that personnel can put the new glass rod into the placement rack 32.
[0046] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without creative effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model; therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
