Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel component processing technology, and in particular relates to a steel component feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of steel component processing, automated feeding of steel components is a key link in improving production continuity. For tubular steel components, existing steel component feeding devices mostly rely on a single conveying mechanism to complete material transfer. When dealing with steel components of different specifications, uneven clamping force often causes the steel components to shift, affecting the accuracy of subsequent processing.

[0003] With the continuous advancement of technology, although some automated feeding devices have emerged, these devices still have many shortcomings in practical applications. For example, some devices do not control the force precisely enough when clamping steel components, which can easily damage the surface of the steel components and affect their quality; other devices have unstable feeding processes, often resulting in problems such as steel components getting stuck or incomplete feeding, leading to production interruptions and reduced production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a steel component feeding device, which aims to solve the problem of unstable clamping in existing steel component feeding devices.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The steel component feeding device includes a machine base, on which a material box and a clamping mechanism are respectively provided. The clamping mechanism includes a fixed seat arranged on the left and right and a transverse moving module. A pneumatic claw disk is provided on the front of the fixed seat, and a clamping tube is slidably arranged inside the fixed seat. The right end of the clamping tube passes through the axis of the pneumatic claw disk. A rotating plate and a pushing cylinder are provided on the fixed seat. The drive shaft of the pushing cylinder is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating plate, and the lower end of the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the tail end of the clamping tube. Multiple splitting grooves are opened on the right end of the clamping tube, and two adjacent splitting grooves divide the clamping tube into clamping segments. A connecting seat is provided at the moving end of the transverse moving module. A push shaft is provided on the connecting seat facing the clamping tube.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model patent clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0019] To illustrate the technical solution described in this utility model, specific embodiments are described below.

[0020] For ease of explanation, only the parts relevant to the embodiments of this utility model are shown.

[0021] Combination Figure 1-4As shown, the steel component feeding device includes a machine base 1, on which a material box 2 and a clamping mechanism are respectively provided. The clamping mechanism includes a fixed seat 3 arranged on the left and right and a transverse moving module 4. A pneumatic claw disk 5 is provided on the front of the fixed seat 3. A clamping tube 6 is slidably provided inside the fixed seat 3. The right end of the clamping tube 6 passes through the axis of the pneumatic claw disk 5. A rotating plate 7 and a pushing cylinder 8 are provided on the fixed seat 3. The drive shaft of the pushing cylinder 8 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating plate 7. The lower end of the rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected to the tail end of the clamping tube 6. Multiple splitting grooves 9 are opened on the right end of the clamping tube 6. Two adjacent splitting grooves 9 divide the clamping tube 6 into clamping segments 10. A connecting seat 11 is provided at the moving end of the transverse moving module 4. A push shaft 12 is provided on the connecting seat 11 facing the clamping tube 6. A feeding component is provided on the side wall of the material box 2 facing the clamping mechanism.

[0022] In the field of steel component processing, automated feeding of steel components is a key step in improving production continuity. This device is suitable for feeding tubular steel components during processing.

[0023] In use, the tubular steel components are placed in the material box as required, and then the feeding assembly is used to transport the steel components one by one in an orderly manner to the right end of the clamping tube of the clamping mechanism. At this time, the lateral movement module drives the connecting seat to move the push shaft along the clamping tube. The push shaft pushes the steel components towards the clamping tube, so that the end of the steel component fits into the right end of the clamping tube. The push cylinder is started, driving the rotating plate to rotate, causing the clamping tube to slide to the right. At the same time, the pneumatic claw disc moves, applying radial pressure to the end of the clamping tube. Since the right end of the clamping tube has a split groove forming a clamping flap, the clamping flap contracts inward under pressure, tightly clamping the steel component. In the figure, there are three split grooves, so there are also three clamping flaps. The pneumatic claw disc is a three-jaw pneumatic claw disc.

[0024] A feeding channel 13 is formed on the machine base 1 between the transverse moving module 4 and the fixed seat 3. After clamping, the feeding assembly resets, ready to feed the next steel component. At the same time, the processing mechanism on the machine base processes the current steel component. After the current steel component is processed, the transverse moving module drives the connecting seat and the push shaft to retract, the pneumatic claw plate releases the clamping petals, and the cylinder drives the clamping tube to retract, removing the steel component. Under the action of gravity, the steel component is transported through the feeding channel to the next processing step, completing one feeding process.

[0025] Because the front end of the push shaft 12 is tapered, it is easy to insert into the steel component or precisely connect with the end of the steel component.

[0026] As a preferred structure, such as Figure 3The front end of the material box 2 is provided with a pair of left and right baffles 14 facing inward. The top surface of the material box 2 is a forward-facing inclined surface. A material dropping chamber 15 is formed below the inclined surface of the material box 2. A material outlet (covered in the figure) is opened below the material dropping chamber. The machine base 1 is provided with a push cylinder 17. The drive shaft of the push cylinder 17 is provided with a push rod 18. The push rod 18 passes through the material dropping chamber and is positioned directly opposite the material outlet.

[0027] In this structure, there is a certain gap between the two baffles. This gap allows for the stacking of steel components and also enables observation of the steel component's discharge process. Since the top surface of the hopper is a forward-facing slope, when a steel component is placed on the slope, it will slide forward along the slope under gravity. A discharge chamber is formed below the slope of the hopper. After sliding down the slope, the steel component enters the discharge chamber, and a discharge port is located at the bottom of the discharge chamber for outputting the steel component. Once the steel component enters the discharge chamber, the push cylinder is activated, driving the push rod to push the steel component towards the discharge port.

[0028] The feeding assembly includes a slide 19 mounted on the machine base 1. A gripper 20 is provided above the slide 19. The gripper 20 is provided with a pair of upper and lower clamps. The discharge port is located between the two clamps. Each clamp is provided with an arc-shaped groove 21. A feeding cylinder 22 is provided on the machine base 1. The drive shaft of the feeding cylinder 22 is connected to the slide 19.

[0029] The clamping seat has an arc-shaped groove that matches the shape of the steel component, allowing for stable clamping. When feeding the steel component, the clamp is in its initial position, with the upper and lower clamping seats directly opposite the discharge port, which is located between them. When the push cylinder drives the push rod to push the steel component from the discharge port into the upper and lower arc-shaped grooves, the push rod returns to its original position. Finally, when the feeding cylinder is activated, it drives the slide to move the clamp forward. Once in position, the upper clamp rotates upward, aligning the end of the steel component with the right end of the clamping tube.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
