Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated feeding device technology, and in particular to an automated feeding device for bar processing. Background Technology

[0002] Automated feeding equipment plays a crucial role in bar processing, improving production efficiency and reducing the risks associated with manual operation. Its main function is to automatically feed bars from one processing station to another, enabling continuous production. Typically, this equipment consists of a feeding system, a control system, and a transmission system. The feeding system includes a series of mechanical devices, such as rollers, chains, or pneumatic devices, for automated bar conveying. The control system, managed by a PLC, ensures the accuracy and efficiency of the feeding process, preventing errors caused by improper operation. The transmission system drives the feeding device via an electric motor or pneumatic device, ensuring the smooth propulsion of the bars.

[0003] Patent CN216917660U discloses an automatic feeding device for bar processing. Specifically, the patent discloses a technical solution comprising: "a bracket and a clamping plate; a canopy is provided above the bracket, and a housing is installed above the canopy; a servo motor is installed inside the housing, and a threaded rod is installed at the front end of the servo motor; a threaded rod connecting block is provided outside the threaded rod; a first push rod is installed below the threaded rod; a robotic arm body is located below the first push rod; a cylinder is installed inside the robotic arm body; a moving plate is located below the cylinder; a first drive rod is located on the right side of the moving plate; a retaining shaft is installed below the moving plate; and a second drive rod is located on the right side of the retaining shaft." This solution achieves the technical effect that "the cylinder, through the moving plate and the first drive rod, forms a transmission structure with the gripper arm, thus the cylinder drives the moving plate to move up and down, and the up and down movement of the moving plate drives the first drive rod to rotate around the moving plate as an axis."

[0004] The existing equipment operates in a plate processing environment for a long time, where a large amount of dust and impurities can easily enter the equipment. These particles and impurities accumulate between the various components of the equipment. Over time, these impurities can cause wear, corrosion, or jamming on the surface of the components, increase the friction of the equipment, reduce the flexibility and precision of the transmission system, and thus affect the feeding efficiency of the bar stock.

[0005] Therefore, we propose an automatic feeding device for bar processing. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding device for bar processing, including a worktable 1, a motor 2 fixedly installed on one side of the worktable 1, a moving component provided at the output end of the motor 2, a clamping component provided at the bottom of the moving component, a fixing pad 10 provided at the bottom of the clamping component, a coating provided on the outer periphery of the fixing pad 10, and anti-slip textures provided on the corresponding sides of the two fixing pads 10. The coating and anti-slip textures on the fixing pads 10 can increase the friction when in contact with the bar, ensuring stable clamping;

[0029] A protective cover 24 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench 1. A first pulley 21 is provided on the side of the moving component away from the motor 2, and a second pulley 22 is provided on the side of the first pulley 21. A belt 23 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first pulley 21 and the second pulley 22. A cleaning component is provided inside the second pulley 22. The cleaning component is close to the clamping component. The motor 2 serves as a power source to provide driving force to the moving component. The moving component drives the clamping component to move, realizing the feeding operation of the bar. The protective cover 24 serves to protect the internal components. The first pulley 21, the second pulley 22 and the belt 23 form a transmission structure that can transmit power to the cleaning component, so that it is close to the clamping component to perform cleaning work.

[0030] The moving assembly includes a first rotating shaft 3, a first threaded rod 4, and a first threaded block 5. One end of the first rotating shaft 3 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2. The first threaded rod 4 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the first rotating shaft 3. The first threaded block 5 is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the first threaded rod 4. A fixing plate 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the two first threaded blocks 5. A limit groove is provided at the bottom of the worktable 1. The corresponding side of the limit groove is close to the two sides of the first threaded block 5. After the motor 2 starts, it drives the first rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 3 drives the first threaded rod 4 to rotate synchronously. Since the first threaded block 5 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 4, and under the restriction of the limit groove at the bottom of the worktable 1, the first threaded block 5 can only move linearly along the axial direction of the first threaded rod 4, thereby driving the fixing plate 6 to move, thus realizing the movement of the clamping assembly and completing the feeding action of the bar.

[0031] The clamping assembly includes a cylinder 7, a support plate 8, a clamping rod 9, and a connecting rod 11. The cylinder 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 6. The output end of the cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the support plate 8. The two ends of the support plate 8 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 11. When the cylinder 7 is activated, its output end pushes the support plate 8 to move linearly. When the support plate 8 moves, it drives the connecting rod 11 at both ends to move. The connecting rod 11 converts the linear motion of the support plate 8 into the swing of the clamping rod 9, providing power for clamping the bar. The end of the connecting rod 11 away from the support plate 8... A clamping rod 9 is rotatably connected, and the top of the clamping rod 9 is rotatably connected to both ends of the fixing plate 6. The corresponding side of the two clamping rods 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing pad 10. The connecting rod 11 moves under the drive of the support plate 8. Since the top of the clamping rod 9 is rotatably connected to both ends of the fixing plate 6, the movement of the connecting rod 11 will cause the clamping rod 9 to swing around its top rotation point. The fixing pads 10 on the corresponding side of the two clamping rods 9 move closer or further away from each other as the clamping rod 9 swings, thereby realizing the clamping or releasing operation of the rod.

[0032] The cleaning assembly includes a second rotating shaft 12, a second threaded rod 13, and a second threaded block 14. One end of the second rotating shaft 12 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the second pulley 22. The second rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the inside of the protective cover 24. The second threaded rod 13 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the second rotating shaft 12. The second threaded block 14 is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the second threaded rod 13. One side of the second threaded block 14 is in close contact with the inner wall of the protective cover 24. The first pulley 21 drives the second pulley 22 to rotate via a belt 23. The second pulley 22 drives the second rotating shaft 12. 2. The second rotating shaft 12 drives the second threaded rod 13 to rotate synchronously. Since the second threaded block 14 is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 13, and one side of the second threaded block 14 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the protective cover 24, the second threaded block 14 can only move linearly along the axial direction of the second threaded rod 13 under the constraint of the inner wall of the protective cover 24. This allows the cleaning component to move and clean the relevant area. The cleaning component also includes a collection box 15, a collection pipe 16, and a filter screen 17. The collection box 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second threaded block 14. A collection pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the collection box 15, which contains an air pump. The input end of the air pump is fixedly connected to the collection pipe 16, and the output end of the air pump is connected to the inside of the collection box 15. A filter screen 17 is slidably connected to one side of the collection box 15. When the second threaded block 14 moves, it moves the collection box 15 together, activating the air pump inside the collection box 15. The air pump sucks in surrounding dust and impurities through the collection pipe 16. After entering the collection box 15, the dust and impurities are filtered by the filter screen 17 and trapped inside the collection box 15, thus cleaning the area. The air is discharged through the filter 17 to clean the working area. Conveying slots are provided on both sides of the protective cover 24. Multiple support rods 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover 24. A base plate 19 is fixedly installed at the end of the support rod 18 away from the protective cover 24. A collection slot 20 is provided on the top of the base plate 19. The support rods 18 support the protective cover 24 to make the entire equipment structure stable. The collection slot 20 on the base plate 19 can be used to collect dust, impurities or waste materials that fall from the equipment for centralized treatment and to keep the working environment clean.

[0033] The working process of this utility model:

[0034] Step 1: Feed the bar into the appropriate position from the conveying groove, ensuring that it is within the range that the clamping component can grasp. Check whether each component of the equipment is normal, including whether the motor 2 can start normally, whether the air pressure of the cylinder 7 is stable, and whether the suction pump of the cleaning component is working normally. At the same time, confirm that the filter screen 17 is installed correctly and is not blocked, and whether the collection tank 20 is clean, to prepare for the normal operation of the equipment.

[0035] Step two: Motor 2 starts, driving the first rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 3 drives the first threaded rod 4 to rotate synchronously. Since the first threaded block 5 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 4, and is limited by the limiting groove at the bottom of the worktable 1, the first threaded block 5 moves linearly along the axis of the first threaded rod 4, thereby driving the fixed plate 6 to move. The movement of the fixed plate 6 brings the clamping assembly to the position of the bar. Cylinder 7 starts, and its output end pushes the support plate 8 to move linearly. The support plate 8 drives the connecting rods 11 at both ends to move. The connecting rods 11 convert the linear movement of the support plate 8 into the swing of the clamping rods 9, causing the fixing pads 10 on the corresponding sides of the two clamping rods 9 to move closer to each other and clamp the bar. Then, motor 2 continues to work, driving the clamping assembly and the bar to move to the processing position to complete the feeding action. Simultaneously with the start of motor 2, the first pulley 21 drives the second pulley 22 to rotate via belt 23. The second pulley 22 drives the second shaft 12 to rotate synchronously. The second shaft 12 drives the second threaded rod 13 to rotate. Since the second threaded block 14 is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 13, and one side of the second threaded block 14 is in close contact with the inner wall of the protective cover 24, under the constraint of the inner wall of the protective cover 24, the second threaded block 14 moves linearly along the axial direction of the second threaded rod 13, driving the collection box 15 to move. The suction pump inside the collection box 15 starts, sucking in the surrounding dust and impurities through the collection pipe 16. After being filtered by the filter screen 17, the dust and impurities are trapped in the collection box 15. The cleaned air is discharged from the filter screen 17, thus cleaning the working area.

[0036] Step 3: After the bar is processed, motor 2 drives the first rotating shaft 3, the first threaded rod 4, and the first threaded block 5 to move, causing the fixing plate 6 and the clamping assembly to move to the other end and send the bar out of the conveying groove. The output end of cylinder 7 moves in the opposite direction, causing the support plate 8, connecting rod 11, and clamping rod 9 to swing in the opposite direction, causing the fixing pads 10 to move away from each other and release the processed bar. The staff regularly checks the accumulation of dust and impurities in the collection box 15, cleans the collection box 15 in time, and replaces the filter screen 17. At the same time, the collection groove 20 on the bottom plate 19 is cleaned, and the collected dust, impurities, or waste materials are centrally processed to prepare for the next operation of the equipment.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
