Brief description of the drawings
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of the present invention.
Embodiment
The present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiment.
As shown in figure 1, a kind of from moving feed device, including drawing machine production line 10, shearing machine production line 11 and changing is sent
Expect device, on the drawing machine production line 10 it is equidistant and it is corresponding be provided with several first transfer rollers 1, the cutter produces
Equidistantly and corresponding with first transfer roller 1 the second transfer roller of quantity identical 13 is provided with line 11;It is described to change feeding
Device has several and is located at equal intervals along the splicing frame 4 that rectangular channel is provided with the direction of drawing machine production line 10
On, it includes motor 12, chain 9, the " T " shape Mobile base 7 of spacing cylindrical bar 8 and cross section, and the motor 12 passes through chain 9
It is fixedly connected with the Mobile base 7, the spacing cylindrical bar 8 is fixed on the inner side of splicing frame 4, and the Mobile base 7 includes setting
The upper end of torsion spring set 5 is fixed in the upper surface of Mobile base 7 and the torsion spring set 5 that is slidably connected with the Mobile base 7, level
The rotation strip 6 in face and the hydraulic cylinder 3 for being located at the lower surface of Mobile base 7 vertically, it is solid with it that the inside of torsion spring set 5 is provided with one end
Surely the torsion spring connected, the other end of the torsion spring are fixedly connected with the rotation strip 6, and being additionally provided with one inside the torsion spring set 5 opens
Close contact;Height is higher by than height where the upper end wheel face of the second transfer roller 13 where the upper end wheel face of first transfer roller 1
5-15cm, and the company of being provided between the right-hand member roll stand top of first transfer roller 1 and the left end roll stand top of second transfer roller 13
Bar 2;The end of the shearing machine production line 11 is additionally provided with a sensor block.
In addition, the upper surface of connecting rod 2 is circular arc, and respectively with the right-hand member roll stand top of the first transfer roller 1 and
The left end roll stand top of two transfer roller 13 is in smoothing junction.Ensure copper bar company of being rolled to of the first transfer roller 1 on by drawing machine production line 10
Not by scratch when bar 2 is rolled to the second transfer roller 13 on shearing machine production line 11 again, the surface quality of product is improved.The Mobile base
The distance of 7 rotation strips 6 when being contacted with the 4 vertical left side of splicing frame and spacing cylindrical bar 8 is equal to the described first transmission
The length of roller 1, ensure to promote when hydraulic cylinder 3 promotes the copper bar placed on first transfer roller 1 on drawing machine production line 10 away from
From the length for being just equal to first transfer roller 1, ensure running realization promotion copper bar in shortest route, reduce energy consumption, section
About cost.The hydraulic cylinder 3 and the edge of the first transfer roller 1 when the Mobile base 7 contacts with the 4 vertical left side of splicing frame
Perpendicular to the place plane of drawing machine production line 10 without coincidence, prevent the hydraulic cylinder 3 from can stop copper bar and being given birth in drawbench
The smooth transmission of producing line 10, the difference of its lower end and the upper end wheel face place height of the first transfer roller 1 is more than when the hydraulic cylinder 3 shrinks
10cm, ensure spacing again so that copper bar top will not touch the lower end of hydraulic cylinder 3, make copper bar in drawing machine production line
10 smoothly transmission;Its lower end does not contact with the pedestal upper end face of drawing machine production line 10 when the hydraulic cylinder 3 extends, and ensures liquid
Cylinder pressure 3 promotes being smoothed out for copper bar, will not produce friction because oversize with the support of drawing machine production line 10 or be blocked,
Influence production.The " T " shape Mobile base 7 in the cross section is slidably connected and matched with the rectangular channel on the splicing frame 4;It is described
The right-hand member roll stand of second transfer roller 13 is higher by the roller upper surface 4cm-8cm of the second transfer roller 13, to prevent copper bar from making in gravity
Tumbled after second transfer roller 13 is rolled under because of inertia.
In use, the i.e. described Mobile base 7 in top and the institute of the drawing machine production line 10 feed device will be changed are placed in first
The contact of 4 vertical left side of splicing frame is stated, when copper bar touches the shearing machine production line completely on drawing machine production line 10
During the sensor block that 11 end is provided with, signal is passed to control terminal by sensor block, control terminal can control at once hydraulic cylinder 3 extend to
The lower section of transfer roller 1 on the drawing machine production line 10, the top of the support of drawing machine production line 10;And at the same time,
Control terminal can start motor 12 at once, pull in the presence of the 9 of chain described in change feed device to the shearing machine production line
11 places direction are moved, and can close switch contact when rotation strip 6 is contacted and rotated with spacing cylindrical bar 8, so as to motor 12
Shut down, i.e., its shift length is equal to the length of first transfer roller 1, and then copper bar can under gravity, via connecting rod 2
The second transfer roller 13 being rolled on the shearing machine production line 11, realizes feeding.During return, after hydraulic cylinder 3 shrinks, by motor
The Mobile base 7 is driven until the Mobile base 7 contacts with the 4 vertical left side of splicing frame.So move in circles, can be automatic
Realize and pick the copper bar on drawing machine production line 10 to shearing machine production line 11 automatically.The present invention can be by drawbench with cutting
The setting of machine production line side by side parallel is cut, production space is greatly saved, reduces the phenomenon of space waste;And can realize automatically will be through
Copper bar after drawing is sent on shearing machine production line 11 exactly, saves manpower, reduces the amount of labour of worker.And it can ensure to work as
Copper bar is completely when on drawing machine production line 10, and can be quickly be removed is sheared on machine production line 11, so as to give drawing
10 more production times of machine production line, drawing are realized with shearing while carrying out, without such as drawbench and shearing machine production line
11 on the same line when because shear it is relatively slow delay time of drawing, or shelve shearing machine production line because drawing is relatively slow
11, so as to effectively improve production efficiency.
Schematically the present invention and embodiments thereof are described above, this describes no restricted, institute in accompanying drawing
What is shown is also one of embodiments of the present invention, and actual structure is not limited thereto.So if common skill of this area
Art personnel are enlightened by it, without departing from the spirit of the invention, without designing and the technical scheme for creativeness
