A reduced-diameter screw is coaxially arranged on rod 13. The reduced-diameter screw is inserted into the guide groove 15 and a positioning nut 16 is screwed onto the reduced-diameter screw. The front positioning rod 12 and the lower positioning rod 13 are clamped and fixed on the lifting plate 3 by the positioning nut 16. The lifting plate 3 is provided with a rear positioning rod drive element 17, which is used to drive the rear positioning rod 14 to slide back and forth.

[0029] The dressing mechanism includes a motor-driven rotating chuck 18 and a cutting tool 19 positioned opposite the chuck 18. In this embodiment, a pneumatic chuck is used, which can clamp and release the winding washer 8. The structure and working principle of the pneumatic chuck are existing technologies in the field and will not be described in detail here. The insertion depth of the winding washer 8 into the chuck 18 is less than the thickness of the winding washer 8, exposing one side of the outer ring of the winding washer 8 and allowing the cutting tool 19 to process it. The cutting tool 19 can move back and forth and left and right. Specifically, the machine body 1 is equipped with a motor-driven left and right translation platform 20. This motor is connected to left and right extension screws. The right translation platform 20 is fitted with a slide rail to the machine body 1, and the bottom of the left and right translation platforms 20 is screwed onto the left and right extension screws. The left and right translation platforms 20 are equipped with a motor-driven front and rear translation platform 21, which is connected to the front and rear extension screws. The front and rear translation platforms 21 are fitted with a slide rail to the left and right translation platforms 20, and the bottom of the front and rear translation platforms 21 is screwed onto the front and rear extension screws. The front and rear translation platforms 21 are equipped with a tool holder 22, and the cutting tool 19 is detachably mounted on the tool holder 22. The connection structure between the cutting tool 19 and the tool holder 22 is also existing technology in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] The discharge mechanism includes a fixed slide 23 fixed on the machine body 1 and a retractable discharge slide 24 disposed in the fixed slide 23. One end of the discharge slide 24 can extend to the bottom of the locking shaft 18. Specifically, the bottom of the fixed slide 23 is provided with a discharge slide telescopic drive element 25, which is a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod. The piston rod of the discharge slide telescopic drive element 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the discharge slide 24.

[0031] The machine body 1 is also equipped with a storage rack and an automatic ejection mechanism that cooperate with the upper opening of the feeding chute 2. The storage rack includes a vertical plate 26 on the machine body 1 and multiple baffles 27 on the vertical plate 26. All the baffles 27 together form a stacking space for the winding pad rings. The automatic ejection mechanism includes a base plate 28 and a base plate drive element 29 that drives the base plate 28 to slide left and right. The base plate drive element 29 is a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod. The base plate 28 is provided with a winding pad ring slot 30, which is not very deep. The thickness of the winding pad 8 is such that two or more winding pads 8 are pushed out at the same time when the base plate 28 extends; there is a gap between the lower edge of the stop bar 27 and the bottom surface of the winding pad groove 30, the gap height is greater than the thickness of the winding pad 8 but not more than twice the thickness of the winding pad 8, also to avoid two or more winding pads 8 being pushed out at the same time when the base plate 28 extends; the upper part of the stop bar 27 has an outward bending section 31, and the upper opening of the winding pad stacking space is enlarged, which is conducive to manually replenishing the stacked winding pads 8 into the storage rack.

[0032] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0033] During operation, the base plate 28 is pushed out once, and one of the winding pads 8 at the bottom of the stack of winding pads in the storage rack is pushed onto the inclined guide plate 7. The winding pad 8 slides down along the inclined guide plate 7 into the feeding chute 2, changing its posture to vertical. The winding pad 8 falls into the winding pad support space formed between the front positioning rod 12, the lower positioning rod 13, and the rear positioning rod 14. The rear positioning rod drive element 17 moves once to push the winding pad 8 forward. The front positioning rod 12, the lower positioning rod 13, and the rear positioning rod 14 together press against the winding pad 8. After falling further, it can be coaxial with the retaining shaft 18. The lifting plate drive element 9 drives the lifting plate 3 to move down to the retaining shaft 18. The winding pad 8 is coaxial with the retaining shaft 18. The automatic push plate drive element 11 drives the automatic push plate 10 to move to the left to move the winding pad 8. The winding pad ring 8 is pushed out into the clamping shaft 18, which clamps the winding pad ring 8. The automatic push plate 10 and the lifting plate 3 return to their initial positions. The clamping shaft 18 rotates, and the cutting tool 19 adjusts its position to approach the winding pad ring 8 on the clamping shaft 18 to begin turning and trimming the winding pad ring 8. After trimming, the cutting tool leaves, and one end of the discharge slide 24 extends below the clamping shaft 18. The clamping shaft 18 releases the winding pad ring 8, and the winding pad ring 8 falls into the discharge slide 24 and finally slides out through the fixed slide 23. This embodiment can realize the automatic feeding, clamping, and turning trimming of the winding pad ring 8. After trimming, it is automatically discharged. Compared with the prior art, the degree of automation is significantly improved, the overall operation is stable, and it helps to improve the processing efficiency of the winding pad ring 8, making it suitable for widespread use.

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
