The structure of the roller conveyor is existing technology, and its transmission method is not specifically limited here, as long as it meets the needs of conveying steel plates. In this embodiment, to prevent the plate from shifting during the conveying process and affecting the accuracy of the pad feeding, multiple sets of limiting components 103 are provided on the feeding frame 101.

The material transfer mechanism 7 is installed within the mounting frame 403 via a first moving component 5 and a second moving component 6.

[0027] See Figure 4 The structure of the material transfer mechanism 7 in this embodiment is as follows: The material transfer mechanism 7 includes an electromagnetic chuck 703, which is used to adsorb the pad; wherein, a telescopic rod 702 is fixedly provided on the top of the electromagnetic chuck 703, and the telescopic rod 702 is connected to the first moving component 5 and the second moving component 6 so that the electromagnetic chuck 703 can move laterally and longitudinally, thereby adsorbing the pad and sending it to the material transport vehicle 8.

[0028] See Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first moving component 5 includes a first slider 501, a first sliding rod 503, and a first hydraulic rod 502. Two first sliders 501 are disposed opposite each other within the mounting frame 403 and are slidably connected to corresponding sliding grooves 404 to form a sliding pair. Two first sliding rods 503 pass through the movable block 701 and are slidably connected to it. Both ends of the two first sliding rods 503 are fixedly connected to their respective first sliders 501, and the two first sliding rods 503 are arranged in parallel. The first hydraulic rod 502 is located on one side of the movable block 701 and is mounted on the corresponding first slider 501. Its piston end is connected to the side of the movable block 701, thereby causing the first hydraulic rod 502 to push the movable block 701 to reciprocate. The first hydraulic rod 502 is positioned between the two first sliding rods 503 to ensure smooth pushing and improve the reliability of the device.

[0029] In this embodiment, the second moving component 6 includes two second slide rods 603 arranged in parallel, perpendicular to the first slide rod 503.

The gear 302 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 303. The servo motor 303 is mounted on the mounting bracket 304. During operation, the output shaft of the servo motor 303 drives the gear 302 to rotate. Under the action of the rack 301, the gear 302 moves along the rack 301. At the same time, the mounting bracket 304 drives the connecting bracket 402 to move, thereby causing the connecting bracket 402 to drive the material transfer mechanism 7 to move.

[0031] This invention features a feeding mechanism that automatically delivers the sheet metal to the cutting mechanism for cutting. The cut pads are then transferred to a transport vehicle via a transfer mechanism. This eliminates the need for manual loading and unloading, increasing the automation level of the rail pad cutting process, reducing labor intensity and costs, saving time, and improving production efficiency. The feeding mechanism includes a limiting mechanism to prevent the sheet metal from skewing during feeding, providing a foundation for precise cutting. Furthermore, the cutting mechanism utilizes laser cutting equipment for automatic cutting of the pads, improving both cutting efficiency and precision.
