[0002] Large industrial rollers, as core components of mechanical equipment, play a crucial role in metallurgy, papermaking, and plastics processing due to their superior load-bearing capacity and wear resistance. In the precision machining of rollers, segmented cutting of the outer diameter is a core process for achieving high-precision dimensional control. However, most automated feeding systems in related technologies rely on the workpiece's own weight to automatically roll down and replenish material. This can easily lead to stacking interference between workpieces, inaccurate workpiece positioning, and falling off, resulting in a mismatch in the timing of collaborative operations with the feeding robot and a high risk of gripping failure.

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this application discloses an orderly feeding mechanism for roller workpieces, including a feeding component 100, a driving component 310, a first positioning component 200, and a second positioning component 300.

[0041] The feeding assembly 100 is used to transport the workpiece; the first positioning assembly 200 is used to dock with the feeding assembly 100, and the first positioning assembly 200 has a support position for supporting the workpiece; the driving member 310 is used to drive the second positioning assembly 300 to move so that the second positioning assembly 300 can lift the workpiece on the support position or retract to a position below the support position.

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, based on the feeding component 100 conveying the workpiece, the first positioning component 200 is connected to the feeding component 100 and used as a buffer, and the second positioning component 300 is driven by the driving component 310 to lift the workpiece on the first positioning component 200, so that the second positioning component 300 is used for feeding to avoid the problem of workpiece stacking interference and inaccurate positioning, and to achieve the effect of automatic separation of roller workpieces from other workpieces and orderly feeding.

[0043] It is understood that in some embodiments, the support position is the position in the first positioning component 200 used to receive, limit, and support the workpiece. The first positioning component 200 is used to receive the workpiece conveyed by the feeding component 100, and the second positioning component 300 is used to receive the workpiece and dock with downstream equipment or transfer robot mechanisms in the production line. By using the first positioning component 200 and the second positioning component 300 in conjunction with the feeding component 100, the buffering effect of the first positioning component 200 is used to avoid the accumulation of materials. On the other hand, the second positioning component 300 is used to dock with downstream mechanisms or handling robots in the production line, so that the workpiece is gradually separated and fed in an orderly manner, ensuring feeding accuracy while improving production efficiency.

[0044] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 100 conveys and feeds workpieces in a common manner, such as sequentially, continuously, or intermittently. Appropriate mechanisms can be used for this feeding, which will not be further described here. For example, based on the characteristics of roller-type workpieces, the feeding assembly 100 uses a ramp-type feeding rack 110 to feed workpieces sequentially based on gravity. This not only adapts to the long processing cycles of large roller-type workpieces but also saves production costs.

[0045] In some embodiments, since the second positioning component 300 lifts the workpiece located on the first positioning component 200, the second positioning component 300 is initially positioned below the first positioning component 200. The driving component 310 achieves the effect of lifting the workpiece by driving the second positioning component 300 to lift it up. Specifically, the second positioning component 300 can achieve the action of supporting or retracting through vertical or tilting movements. The specific movement path design can be adaptively adjusted and will not be described in further detail here.

[0046] The following will combine Figures 1 to 3 The orderly feeding mechanism for roller-type workpieces disclosed in the embodiments of this application will be explained and described in detail.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3The first positioning component 200 includes at least two spaced first positioning plates 210, each first positioning plate 210 being used to form a support position; the second positioning component 300 includes at least two spaced second positioning plates 320, each second positioning plate 320 being offset from each first positioning plate 210 along the axial direction of the workpiece; the driving member 310 is used to drive each second positioning plate 320 to move.

[0048] Understandably, each first positioning plate 210 is used to support the workpiece conveyed by the feeding assembly 100. Each second positioning plate 320 is offset from each first positioning plate 210 along the axial direction of the workpiece, so that when the driving member 310 drives the second positioning plate 320 to move, it will not interfere with the first positioning plate 210. Thus, when the driving member 310 drives the second positioning plate 320 to lift, it can lift the workpiece located on the first positioning plate 210, so as to facilitate the workpiece to reach the next station of the production line or be carried by the robot. At the same time, when the driving member 310 drives the second positioning plate 320 to reset, it will not affect the first positioning plate 210 to receive the workpiece conveyed by the feeding assembly 100, thereby satisfying the effect of continuous feeding.

[0049] It should be understood that in order to achieve a better connection effect in conveying the workpiece from the first positioning plate 210 to the second positioning plate 320, and to achieve precise positioning and automatic material distribution, the structural design of the second positioning plate 320 is the key to realizing the above functions.

[0050] In this regard, in some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3The first positioning plate 210 includes a first positioning groove 211, and the second positioning plate 320 includes a second positioning groove 321 and a second extension 322. The first positioning groove 211 and the second positioning groove 321 are respectively used to support and limit the workpiece. The second positioning groove 321 is located further away from the feeding assembly 100 relative to the first positioning groove 211. The second extension 322 connects to the second positioning groove 321 and is located between the first positioning groove 211 and the second positioning groove 321, so that when the second positioning plate 320 lifts the workpiece of the first positioning plate 210, the second extension 322 is used to guide the workpiece to roll into the second positioning groove 321. It is understandable that the first positioning groove 211 and the second positioning groove 321 are used for reliable positioning and support of the workpiece. On this basis, the second extension 322 is set to connect with the first positioning groove 211 and the second positioning groove 321 respectively. When the second positioning plate 320 lifts the workpiece, it first contacts the workpiece through the second extension 322 and guides it. The workpiece rolls down along the second extension 322 to the second positioning groove 321. During the time that the second extension 322 guides the workpiece, the first positioning groove 211 can receive the feeding component 100, and the driving component 310 can also reset the second positioning plate 320. Thus, based on the reasonable use of the production cycle, interference between the movement of the first positioning component 200 and the second positioning component 300 is avoided, and automatic continuous feeding is achieved.

[0051] In some embodiments, the second positioning groove 321 and the second extension 322 are an integral structure. In other embodiments, the second positioning groove 321 and the second extension 322 are separate structures and are connected to form the second positioning plate 320.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first positioning groove 211 and the second positioning groove 321 may be configured as groove structures including but not limited to square grooves, V-shaped grooves or concave curved surface grooves.

[0053] Exemplary, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 At least one of the first positioning groove 211 or the second positioning groove 321 includes a first groove wall 2111 and a second groove wall 2112. The first groove wall 2111 and the second groove wall 2112 are inclined downwards towards each other and connected to form a V-shaped groove for positioning the workpiece. It is understood that the V-shaped groove can reliably position the roller-type workpiece, thereby ensuring higher positioning accuracy of the workpiece by the first positioning plate 210 and the second positioning plate 320 arranged at intervals, and more accurate connection between each station.

[0054] Furthermore, to achieve a better connection effect in conveying the workpiece from the first positioning plate 210 to the second positioning plate 320, and to realize precise positioning and automatic material distribution, the structure of the first positioning component 200 can also be designed to achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0055] In some embodiments, reference is made to this. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first positioning plate 210 also includes a first extension 212. One end of the first extension 212 is connected to the first positioning groove 211, and the other end of the first extension 212 is used to dock with the feeding assembly 100. It can be understood that by setting the first extension 212 to dock with the first positioning groove 211 and the feeding assembly 100 respectively, the first extension 212 contacts and guides the workpiece. The workpiece rolls down the first extension 212 into the first positioning groove 211. During the time that the first extension 212 guides the workpiece, the feeding assembly 100 can roll and feed normally. It can also cooperate with the second extension 322 to reserve sufficient time for the second positioning plate 320 to operate. Thus, based on the reasonable use of the production cycle, interference between the operation of the feeding assembly 100, the first positioning assembly 200 and the second positioning assembly 300 is avoided, and automatic continuous feeding is achieved.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first positioning groove 211 and the first extension 212 are an integral structure. In other embodiments, the first positioning groove 211 and the first extension 212 are separate structures and are connected to form the first positioning plate 210.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding assembly 100 includes a feeding rack 110 and a limiting assembly 120. The feeding rack 110 includes an inclined feeding ramp 111, the lower end of which is used to dock with a first positioning assembly 200. The limiting assembly 120 is located between the lower end of the feeding ramp 111 and the first positioning assembly 200, and is used to ensure that the passing workpiece reaches the first positioning assembly 200 in a preset motion state. It is understood that, considering the structural characteristics and long processing time of roller-type workpieces, the inclined feeding ramp 111 is used to achieve automatic feeding, and the limiting assembly 120 is set to adjust the motion state of the rolling feeding workpiece before output, so as to avoid positional deviations and ensure the accuracy of feeding and unloading.

[0058] In some embodiments, the preset motion state can be determined by quantifiable parameters commonly used to describe the motion state, including but not limited to the direction and speed of the motion. This ensures that the workpiece arrives at the loading area with a suitable orientation and speed through the setting of the limiting component 120, thereby reducing the occurrence of unstable loading caused by the use of rolling loading.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2The feeding assembly 100 includes a first adjusting component 130; the first adjusting component 130 is used to adjust the height position of the limiting component 120; the limiting component 120 includes at least two feeding guide components 121 and flexible buffer components 122, each feeding guide component 121 is adjustablely spaced on the first adjusting component 130 and is used to guide and position the workpiece; the flexible buffer component 122 is disposed on the first adjusting component 130 and is used to cooperate with the feeding ramp 111 to form a channel for slowing down the speed of the workpiece.

[0060] It is understood that the loading guide component 121 is used to position the workpiece as it rolls down. By distributing the loading guide components 121 at both ends of the rolling workpiece along its axial direction, tilting and offset during rolling are prevented, thereby improving positioning accuracy. Exemplarily, the loading guide component 121 is a loading guide plate, which is adjustable to accommodate workpieces of different sizes. In other embodiments, the loading guide component 121 may be a commonly used structural component with positioning and guiding functions, such as a guide rail.

[0061] It is understood that by defining the gap between the flexible buffer component 122 and the loading ramp 111, the size of the channel opening is determined, achieving vertical positioning. This allows the passing workpiece to contact the flexible buffer component 122 and be decelerated. Furthermore, the flexible deformation of the buffer component 122 allows the workpiece to pass smoothly after contact, thus achieving the effect of slowing down the workpiece and positioning it at the loading station without affecting normal loading. For example, the flexible buffer component 122 is a buffer baffle, specifically an adjustable buffer baffle along the height direction via the first adjusting component 130. By adjusting the gap between the flexible buffer component 122 and the loading ramp 111, it can accommodate the loading of workpieces of different sizes.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3The orderly feeding mechanism for roller-type workpieces also includes a control device, a first sensor 410, and a second sensor 420. The first sensor 410 is used to detect the support position on the first positioning assembly 200, and the control device is used to receive the signal from the first sensor 410. The second sensor 420 is used to detect the workpiece status on the second positioning assembly 300, and the control device is configured to receive the signal from the second sensor 420 and use it to control the drive component 310. It is understood that the first sensor 410 is used to determine the support position status of the first positioning assembly 200 to determine whether the feeding assembly 100 is feeding normally. If the first positioning assembly 200 is empty, technicians need to determine whether the feeding assembly 100 has a sufficient number of workpieces, or whether there is a fault between the first positioning assembly 200 and the feeding assembly 100, and troubleshoot the problem promptly. The second sensor 420 is used to detect the workpiece status on the second positioning assembly 300, and the control device controls the timing of the drive component 310's operation based on the signal from the second sensor 420 to achieve efficient automated feeding.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The orderly feeding mechanism for roller-type workpieces also includes a second adjusting component 500. A driving component 310 is mounted on the second adjusting component 500 and connected to the second positioning component 300. The second adjusting component 500 is used to adjust the height position of the second positioning component 300. It is understood that the driving component 310 is mounted on the second adjusting component 500, and its top end is connected to the second adjusting component 500. By adjusting the height of the second adjusting component 500, the height positions of the driving component 310 and the second adjusting component 500 are adjusted, thereby facilitating matching with the first positioning component 200 and downstream mechanisms or handling robots, ensuring the accuracy of the feeding action.

[0064] In some embodiments, at least one of the first adjusting component 130 or the second adjusting component 500 may be configured as a component capable of lifting and adjusting, including but not limited to a cylinder + crossbeam, a lead screw nut, a lifting slider guide rail, etc., which will not be further described here.

[0065] The following describes in detail, with a specific embodiment, the orderly feeding mechanism for roller-type workpieces according to an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that the following embodiment is merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0066] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the orderly feeding mechanism for roller workpieces in this embodiment includes a control system, a ramp-type feeding frame 110, a lifting cylinder, a first V-shaped positioning baffle, a second V-shaped positioning baffle, a feeding guide plate, a buffer baffle, a first adjustment device, and a second adjustment device.

[0067] For example, the control system is set as a PLC controller to centrally control this automatic feeding mechanism. The workpiece to be processed rolls along the ramp of the ramp-type feeding rack 110 under the action of gravity. After being initially positioned by the feeding guide plate, it is decelerated and buffered by the buffer baffle. Finally, it is precisely positioned by the V-shaped positioning baffle. The second V-shaped positioning baffle is driven by the lifting cylinder to realize the automatic separation of the roller workpiece from other workpieces and orderly feeding.

[0068] Furthermore, the orderly feeding mechanism for roller-type workpieces in this embodiment also includes a first infrared light sensor and a second infrared light sensor. The first infrared light sensor is located at the end of the first V-shaped positioning baffle and is used to detect whether there is a workpiece on the first V-shaped positioning baffle. When there is no workpiece on the ramp-type feeding rack 110, the first V-shaped positioning baffle will no longer automatically replenish the workpiece for processing. When the first infrared light sensor detects that there is no workpiece on the first V-shaped positioning baffle, it sends an alarm signal through the PLC controller to remind manual batch replenishment. The second infrared light sensor is located at the end of the second V-shaped positioning baffle and is used to detect whether there is a workpiece on the second V-shaped positioning baffle. When the second infrared light sensor detects that there is no workpiece on the second V-shaped positioning baffle, the PLC controller starts the lifting cylinder to push the second V-shaped positioning baffle to a position higher than the position where it connects with the first V-shaped positioning baffle. The workpiece to be processed rolls along the V-shaped ramp to the second V-shaped positioning baffle under the action of gravity, realizing stable workpiece distribution and automatic replenishment, and improving feeding efficiency.

[0069] Specifically, the ramp-type loading rack 110 is set at an angle to the horizontal plane and has a polyurethane anti-friction layer on its surface, which can realize the automatic sliding of workpieces to the positioning device. The surface uses polyurethane material as a buffer and anti-friction medium, which can effectively reduce workpiece friction, protect the surface smoothness of the workpiece, and at the same time play a role in storing materials, reducing the number of times employees load materials in batches.

[0070] The feeding guide plate is connected to an adjustable buffer baffle and is symmetrically arranged along the centerline. The spacing between the feeding guide plates is adjustable and can be adjusted according to the length of the workpiece to accommodate precise positioning of different sizes. The first adjustment device is located at the end of the ramp-type feeding rack 110. The first adjustment device can adjust the vertical height of the adjustable buffer baffle according to the diameter of the workpiece, which can accommodate workpieces of different diameters and realize automatic separation of connected workpieces. After the workpiece slides down to the feeding guide plate for initial positioning by its own gravity, the adjustable buffer baffle separates the connected workpieces above and below, and they slide down to the first V-shaped positioning baffle to avoid stacking of connected workpieces.

[0071] In addition, the first V-shaped positioning baffle is located below the adjustable buffer baffle. After the workpiece is distributed through the adjustable buffer baffle, it falls to the first V-shaped positioning baffle. When there is no workpiece on the first V-shaped positioning baffle, the workpieces connected on the left and right sides automatically fall to the first V-shaped positioning baffle by gravity. The second V-shaped positioning baffle is set on the lifting cylinder. The second V-shaped positioning baffle and the first V-shaped positioning baffle are staggered left and right and front and back. When the second infrared light sensor detects that there is no workpiece on the second V-shaped positioning baffle, the PLC controller starts the lifting cylinder and pushes the second V-shaped positioning baffle to a position higher than the first V-shaped positioning baffle. The workpiece to be processed rolls along the V-shaped ramp to the second V-shaped positioning baffle under the action of gravity. This can realize stable workpiece distribution and automatic replenishment, avoid workpiece stacking, facilitate robotic arm gripping, reduce manual intervention, and improve feeding efficiency.

[0072] Furthermore, a second adjustment device is located at the lower end of the lifting cylinder, which can adjust the height of the second V-shaped positioning baffle to ensure that workpieces of different diameters are at the same height as the robotic arm's gripper, thus ensuring gripping accuracy. The lifting cylinder is located at the upper end of the second adjustment device and the lower end of the second V-shaped positioning baffle. When the second infrared sensor detects that there is no workpiece at the second V-shaped positioning baffle, the PLC controller activates the lifting cylinder, thereby pushing the second V-shaped positioning baffle upward and realizing automatic workpiece replenishment.

[0074] The production line of the third aspect of this application can be a production line for processing and manufacturing roller workpieces, etc., and the production line includes: the loading and unloading device of the second aspect of this application.

[0075] It is easy to understand that the loading and unloading device in the second aspect embodiment of this application and the production line in the third aspect embodiment of this application both have the technical effects of the orderly feeding roller workpiece loading mechanism in the first aspect embodiment, and therefore will not be described again.
