Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and specifically to a feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Turning is one of the most common machining methods in machining. Turning equipment is usually used to turn the workpiece. During the process, the feeding assembly needs to hold the workpiece, push it to the designated position, and then the fixture assembly clamps it for further turning. However, existing turning equipment uses a lead screw to feed the workpiece during machining, and it cannot automatically push the workpiece out. Therefore, the feeding is inaccurate and the level of automation is low. In addition, the existing feeding device uses a single guide rail, which is prone to deviation and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

A connecting seat for connecting a first cylinder is provided on the right side of the base. The first cylinder is located on the right side of the connecting seat. A clamping assembly for clamping materials is slidably connected above the track. The telescopic rod of the first cylinder passes through a clearance hole in the connecting seat and connects to the clamping assembly to drive the clamping assembly to move left and right. A second cylinder is provided on one side of the clamping assembly to push the material on the clamping assembly to the processing equipment.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1 to 5The feeding device of this utility model includes a base 1 fixedly connected to a processing equipment (not shown in the figure). The processing equipment generally refers to a turning equipment, but is not limited to turning equipment. A rail is fixedly connected above the base 1. A connecting seat 3 for connecting a first cylinder 2 is provided on the right side of the base 1. The first cylinder 2 is located on the right side of the connecting seat 3. A clamping assembly 4 for clamping materials is slidably connected above the rail. The connecting seat 3 has a clearance hole for the extension rod of the first cylinder 2 to pass through. The extension rod of the first cylinder 2 passes through the clearance hole and is connected to the clamping assembly 4 to drive the clamping assembly 4 to move left and right. A side of the clamping assembly 4 away from the processing equipment is provided with a... The second cylinder 5 is used to push the material on the clamping assembly 4 to the processing equipment. The material generally refers to metal products to be turned, such as screws, but is not limited to metal products. When the clamping assembly 4 moves to the right, the material falls into the clamping assembly 4. There is another feeding device in the processing equipment to send the material to the clamping assembly. This part of the equipment is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The first cylinder 2 works to push the clamping assembly 4 to the left, which is exactly aligned with the processing position of the processing equipment. The second cylinder 5 pushes the material into the processing position of the processing equipment. The first cylinder drives the clamping assembly to transport the material back and forth and push the material to the processing equipment. The working efficiency is high and accurate.
[0018] Specifically, the clamping assembly 4 is provided with a first buffer 6, the retractable end of which faces the connecting seat 3. The retractable end of the first buffer 6 has an elastic extension function to reduce the speed of the clamping assembly 4 moving to the right. When the first cylinder 2 drives the clamping assembly 4 to move to the right, there is an inertial force at the end of the stroke. The retractable end of the first buffer 6 abuts against the connecting seat 3, stopping the clamping assembly 4. The buffer can be any one of a spring buffer, a hydraulic buffer, or a polyurethane buffer. In a preferred embodiment, the clamping assembly 4 is provided with a second buffer 7 with its retractable end facing the left side to reduce the speed of the clamping assembly 4 moving to the left. The left side of the clamping assembly 4 is provided with a first baffle 8 that cooperates with the second buffer 7. The arrangement of the first and second buffers makes the operation of the clamping assembly more accurate and safe.
[0019] Specifically, the base 1 is also provided with a limit adjustment device 9 for adjusting the stroke of the clamp assembly 4. The clamp assembly 4 is provided with a second baffle 10 that cooperates with the limit adjustment device 9. When the clamp assembly 4 moves to the left, the limit adjustment device 9 restricts the stroke of the clamp assembly 4. In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment device adopts a micrometer limit adjuster. The setting of the limit adjustment device makes the running accuracy of the clamp assembly higher and can adjust the stroke of the clamp assembly.
[0020] Specifically, the track includes two guide rails 11 fixedly connected to the base 1, which makes the operation of the clamping assembly smoother.
[0021] Specifically, the left end of the clamping assembly 4 is provided with a groove 12 for accommodating materials. The outside of the groove 12 is provided with a clamping piece 13 elastically connected to the clamping assembly 4 for clamping materials. The second cylinder 5 is provided with a push rod 14 extending into the groove 12 for pushing the materials in the groove 12 toward the processing equipment. In a preferred embodiment, the clamping piece 13 is connected to the clamping assembly by a spring (not shown in the figure) so that the materials are elastically clamped and will not be clamped too tightly, causing the push rod to be unable to push.
[0022] Specifically, the second cylinder 5 is connected to the clamp assembly 4 via two fixed posts 15, and the output end of the second cylinder 5 is connected to a slider 16 that is slidably connected to the two fixed posts 15. The slider 16 is fixedly connected to the push rod 14.
[0023] Specifically, the slider 16 is provided with two through holes 17 for the fixed posts 15, and the two fixed posts 15 pass through the through holes 17 respectively.
[0024] Example 2: Unlike the first example, the limit adjustment device 9 is disposed on the clamp assembly 4, and the second baffle 10 is disposed on the base 1.
