[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4In this embodiment, a metal product feeding device includes a fixed platform 1. The fixed platform 1 is provided with a belt conveyor 2, a top material assembly, and an adjustment assembly in sequence. The adjustment assembly includes two upright plates, the left upright plate is marked as 31, and the right upright plate is marked as 32. Each of the upright plates has a material feeding groove 4 in the middle. The back of the left and right upright plates is provided with a fixing frame 5 and a side plate 6, respectively, and the side plate 6 is higher than the right upright plate 32. A pair of support wheels 7 and a pair of adjusting wheels 8 are respectively provided on both sides of the material feeding groove 4. The shaft of the adjusting wheel 8 is provided with a gear 9, and the two gears 9 mesh. An adjusting motor 10 is provided on the back of the side plate 6. The adjusting motor 10 is used to drive any adjusting wheel 8 to rotate. The fixing frame 5 is provided with a short plate 11 and a pushing block 12 at the top and bottom, respectively. The pushing block 12 is provided with a sensor 13. The short plate 11 is provided with a rotating plate 15. A pressure roller 151 is rotatably provided on the rotating plate 15. The pressure roller 151 is located above the two material feeding grooves 4. A downward pressing cylinder 16 is also rotatably provided on the fixing frame 5. The drive shaft of the downward pressing cylinder 16 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 15.

[0020] In this device, the adjustment assembly is the core component, used for clamping, rotating, adjusting, and finally positioning the workpiece. It comprises two upright plates, left and right, each with a workpiece feeding slot in the middle. A fixing frame and a side plate are respectively located on the back of each upright plate. A pair of support wheels and a pair of adjustment wheels are respectively installed on both sides of the feeding slot. In the figure, the support wheels are rotatably mounted on the left upright plate, and the adjustment wheels are rotatably mounted on the side plate. The support wheels and adjustment wheels primarily support the workpiece, while the adjustment wheels also drive the workpiece's rotation. Crucially, both adjustment wheels have gears on their shafts, and these gears mesh with each other. Through gear meshing, the two adjustment wheels can rotate synchronously in opposite directions, thus smoothly driving the workpiece located on them to rotate around its own axis.

[0021] The fixed frame has a short plate on the top and a pushing block on the bottom. The pushing block is equipped with a sensor to detect whether the workpiece is properly positioned. A rotating plate is hinged to the short plate, and a pressure roller is rotatably mounted on the rotating plate, positioned directly above the two left and right feeding troughs. A pressing cylinder is also hinged to the fixed frame, and its drive shaft is rotatably connected to the rotating plate. When the pressing cylinder is activated, it drives the rotating plate to swing downwards, causing the pressure roller to press down and press the workpiece in the feeding trough firmly onto the support roller, ensuring that the workpiece does not jump or shift during adjustment.

[0022] As a specific structure, such as Figure 2 The belt conveyor 2 has baffles 17 on both sides of its frame, and a tail plate 18 is provided at the rear of the frame between the baffles 17. A ring of partitions 20 is evenly provided on the belt of the belt conveyor 19.

[0023] The belt conveyor is used to horizontally transport metal products forward. Baffles are provided on both sides of the frame to prevent workpieces from falling during transport; a tail plate is located between the two baffles at the rear of the frame to limit the initial position of the workpiece on the belt. A ring of partitions is evenly arranged on the belt, forming slots to allow workpieces to be transported forward in an intermittent and orderly manner. An inclined receiving rack 21 is provided at the front end of the belt conveyor 2 to receive workpieces delivered from the belt and guides them to a predetermined position using the inclined surface.

[0024] Figure 4 In this assembly, the top material assembly is positioned between the receiving frame and the subsequent adjustment assembly. It includes a top material frame 22, which is located between the receiving frame 21 and the upright plate. The top two ends of the top of the top material frame 22 are inclined surfaces. The bottom of the fixed platform 1 is provided with a top material cylinder 23, and the drive shaft of the top material cylinder 23 is connected to the top material frame 22.

[0025] When the workpiece is in the predetermined position of the receiving rack, the top material cylinder drives the top material rack to rise. Its inclined surface can smoothly lift and raise the workpiece until the workpiece rolls into the two discharge slots.

[0026] The side plate is higher than the right upright plate. The fixing frame 5 is also equipped with an adjusting cylinder 24. The drive shaft of the adjusting cylinder 24 is equipped with a pushing block 12. The pushing block 12 is set towards the material discharge groove 4 on the left upright plate 31.

[0027] After both ends of the workpiece roll into the two discharge troughs, the adjusting cylinder drives the push block at its front end to move to the right, pushing the workpiece to slide axially to the right within the discharge trough. Since the side plate is higher than the right side upright plate, under the action of the push block, the right end face of the workpiece eventually comes into close contact with the inner surface of the side plate.

[0028] Combination Figure 1-2 The top surface of the left vertical plate 31 is provided with a stop block 25 and a guide block 26 at the front and rear of the feeding trough, respectively. The top surface of the guide block is an inclined surface, which is inclined forward and downward. The stop block is used to limit the excessive movement of the workpiece in the front-back direction by the top material rack, while the inclined surface of the guide block plays a guiding and initial positioning role for the workpiece, which helps the workpiece fall smoothly into the feeding trough.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: The workpiece in the figure has a sloping opening on its left end face, which gives the workpiece a circumferential feature that can be recognized by the sensor. The workpiece is conveyed in an orderly manner by a belt conveyor and falls into the receiving rack. The top-loading cylinder drives the top-loading rack to rise, lifting the workpiece and guiding it into the discharge slots of the left and right vertical plates. Then, the cylinder action is adjusted, and the workpiece is pushed to the right by the push block until its right end face firmly abuts against the inner side of the side plate, completing the axial positioning. The sloping opening at the left end of the workpiece can be at any circumferential angle.

[0030] The downward-pressing cylinder drives the rotating plate to rotate downwards, the pressure roller presses against the workpiece, and the push block resets. A sensor mounted on the fixed frame projects its beam horizontally towards the left end area of ​​the workpiece. The motor is then started, driving the workpiece to rotate at a constant speed, while the sensor continuously monitors the left end face of the workpiece. Figure 3 When the workpiece rotates to the upper surface of its left bevel and enters the sensor's beam detection area, the sensor receives a strong reflected signal, generating a sudden trigger signal. This trigger signal is transmitted to the external control system, which immediately issues an emergency stop command to the adjusting motor. Due to the slow drive speed of the adjusting motor, the workpiece quickly stops rotating. At this point, the upper surface of the workpiece's bevel is precisely stopped on the sensor's detection plane. Thus, the workpiece's circumferential angle is precisely calibrated to a preset, unique orientation.

[0031] Finally, the cylinder retracts, and the pressure roller lifts. The external robotic arm can then remove the workpiece, which has undergone precise axial and circumferential dual positioning, to proceed to the next process.

[0032] The entire workflow is now complete, and anything not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
