[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment, a metal product feeding device includes a machine base 1, on which a hopper 2, a slide table 3, and a conveying table 4 are arranged in sequence. The bottom plate 5 of the hopper 2 and the top plate 7 of the slide table 3 are both arranged facing downward and forward, so that the metal products can slide forward by gravity. The top plate 7 is provided with a feeding assembly on its front side, and a number of receiving racks 8 are provided at intervals on the rear side of the top plate 7. A pushing assembly is provided on the rear side of the top plate 7 directly opposite the receiving racks 8. A vertical frame 9 is provided on the front side of the hopper 2. A rotatable shaft 10 is provided on the vertical frame 9. A number of discs 11 are provided at intervals on the shaft 10. A groove 12 is provided on the disc 11. A break 13 is opened on the front side of the bottom plate 5. A part of the disc 11 is located in the break 13. A pair of arc-shaped guide plates 14 are provided on the left and right sides of the vertical frame 9 directly opposite the front side of the disc 11. The curvature of the arc-shaped guide plates 14 is adapted to the outer circumference curvature of the disc. A pair of pressing cylinders 15 are provided on the left and right sides of the vertical frame 9. A rubber pressure head 16 is provided on the drive shaft of the pressing cylinder 15.

[0023] In this structure, three discs are fixed at intervals on the rotating shaft. Each disc has a groove around its outer circumference to receive metal products. In this embodiment, the metal products are metal rods. A break is made on the front side of the bottom plate of the hopper, with a portion of the disc located within the break, allowing the metal product to smoothly transition from the hopper into the groove on the disc. The curvature of the arc-shaped guide plate matches the outer circumference of the disc, guiding the metal product away from the disc. When the groove containing the metal product rotates to its highest position, the disc stops rotating. Then, a downward-pressing cylinder drives a rubber pressure head to press down on the metal product, ensuring it is completely within the groove. This ensures no interference with the arc-shaped guide plate during subsequent movements.

[0024] Figure 3 In this assembly, a machine cover 17 is provided on the side wall of the hopper 2. One end of the rotating shaft 10 extends out of the hopper and is provided with a driven wheel. A drive motor 18 is provided below the hopper. The drive shaft of the drive motor is provided with a driving wheel. A belt is fitted between the driving wheel and the driven wheel. Both the driving wheel and the driven wheel are located inside the machine cover. The drive motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, and the rotating shaft is rotated under the linkage of the belt.

[0025] As a specific structure, combined Figure 2 , Figure 5The receiving rack 8 has a receiving part 19 in the middle, and the top surface of the receiving rack is an inclined surface sloping forward and downward. A pair of connecting plates 20 are provided on the front side of the hopper 2 within the break. A guide plate 21 is provided on the connecting plate 20, and the front end of the guide plate 21 extends above the receiving part. The disc rotates, causing the metal product to rotate towards the arc-shaped guide plate. As the disc continues to rotate, when the metal product in the groove reaches the lower end of the arc-shaped guide plate and moves away from it, the metal product falls from the groove under gravity and, guided by the guide plate, accurately falls onto the receiving part of the receiving rack. Simultaneously, the inclined surface of the top surface of the receiving rack facilitates the metal product sliding forward onto the slide table under its own weight.

[0026] Then, the top plate 7 has a notch 22 corresponding to each receiving rack, and the upper part of the receiving rack 8 is located within the notch 22. The notch design allows the upper part of the receiving rack to cooperate with the top plate, ensuring a smooth transition when metal products are transferred from the receiving rack to the top plate of the slide table, and avoiding jamming.

[0027] In this structure, such as Figure 4 The top of the hopper 2 is provided with a horizontal plate 23, and a pair of guide plates 24 are provided on the horizontal plate 23. The guide plates 24 are located on the front side of the top plate 7 and are directly opposite the break. The guide plates can organize and guide the metal products in the hopper, avoid the accumulation and blockage of metal products in the hopper, ensure that the metal products can move in an orderly manner towards the break, and provide a stable material supply for the subsequent feeding action of the disc.

[0028] As a preferred structure, Figure 5 In this assembly, the pushing component includes a lifting frame 25 slidably mounted on a slide table 3. The lifting frame 25 is equipped with several pushing blocks 26. The slide table 3 also has a lifting cylinder 27, the drive shaft of which is connected to the lifting frame 25. The lifting cylinder drives the lifting frame to move the pushing blocks up and down, allowing the pushing blocks to push the metal product on the receiving part onto the top plate of the slide table. During pushing, the metal product moves along the height of the receiving frame, thus transferring the metal product from the receiving frame to the slide table.

[0029] like Figure 6 The unloading assembly includes a fixed base 28, on which a rack 29 is slidably mounted. A circular shaft 30 is rotatably mounted at the front end of the top plate 7, with a pair of stops 31 on the shaft 30. A gear 32 is located in the middle of the shaft 30, meshing with the rack 29. An unloading cylinder 33 is also mounted on the top plate 7, with its drive shaft connected to the back of the rack 29. When the unloading cylinder drives the rack to move, the rack rotates the meshing gear, which in turn rotates the circular shaft and the stops. The rotation of the stops allows for the blocking and release of metal products on the front side of the slide top plate, thus controlling the orderly falling of metal products onto the conveyor table and completing the unloading action.

[0030] In addition, a feeding plate 34 is provided on the front side of the slide table 3, directly opposite the conveyor table. The feeding plate can buffer and guide the metal products falling from the top plate of the slide table, ensuring that the metal products enter the conveyor table smoothly and accurately, and avoiding damage or displacement of the metal products due to collision during the fall.

[0031] The working principle of this device is as follows: First, the metal products to be fed are placed into the hopper. Under their own gravity, the metal products move along the inclined base plate towards the fracture surface. With the guidance of the guide plate, the metal products are arranged in an orderly manner at the fracture surface. The drive motor is started, and the drive motor drives the rotating shaft via a belt, which in turn drives three discs to rotate. When the grooves on the discs rotate to the fracture surface, the metal products in the hopper fall into the grooves under gravity. As the discs continue to rotate, the metal products in the grooves are carried away from the fracture surface.

[0032] Once the groove containing the metal product rotates to its highest position, the disc stops rotating. Then, the downward pressure cylinders are activated, and the two downward pressure cylinders simultaneously drive the corresponding rubber pressure heads to move downward, allowing the metal product to fall completely into the groove and preventing interference with the arc-shaped guide plate during subsequent movements.

[0033] After the position of the metal product is adjusted, the disc continues to rotate, causing the metal product to rotate towards the arc-shaped guide plate. The arc-shaped guide plate guides and limits the metal product, preventing it from falling out of the groove. As the disc continues to rotate, when the metal product in the groove reaches the lower end of the arc-shaped guide plate and moves away from it, the metal product falls out of the groove under the action of gravity. After being guided by the guide plate, it falls accurately onto the receiving part of the receiving rack.

[0034] After a metal product is placed on the receiving part, the lifting cylinder is activated. The lifting cylinder drives the lifting frame to move upward, and the lifting frame drives the push block to push the metal product upward, pushing the metal product from the receiving part onto the top plate of the slide table. Because the top plate of the slide table is inclined, the metal product slides forward along the top plate under its own weight until it is blocked by the stop block of the unloading component.

[0035] When the downstream processing equipment is ready to receive materials, the feeding cylinder is activated. The feeding cylinder drives the rack and pinion to slide, which in turn drives the gear meshing with it to rotate. The gear then drives the round shaft and the stop block to rotate. The stop block rotates to a position where it no longer obstructs the metal product. Under the action of gravity, the metal product continues to slide forward along the top plate. After being guided by the feeding plate, it falls smoothly into the conveyor table, which transports the metal product to the subsequent processing stage. Subsequently, the feeding cylinder drives the rack and pinion to slide in the opposite direction, causing the gear and the stop block to rotate and reset. The stop block returns to its blocking position, ready to block the next metal product. This cycle repeats continuously, achieving continuous feeding of metal products.
