However, this is very easy to implement in the enterprise, and is also a conventional means (such as control of magnetic channel, etc.), and will not be explained here.
Long bar carrier unit s2 includes truss s20 fixed to carriage s10 and extending along the length of long bar B, support frame s21 located on one side of truss s20 and forming a long bar carrying area, wherein two ends of truss s20 protrude out of both sides of carriage s10 and have a length greater than the length of long bar B.

That is, the opening and closing of the discharge port in this example is determined by the size of the opening (also referred to as discharge port) of the gate assembly s212, and once the width of the opening is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the long billet B, the discharge port is in an open state.
Meanwhile, in the embodiment, in order to realize two technical purposes of discharging one by one and preventing material blockage, two discharging procedures are adopted, and the method is specifically implemented as follows.
The upper surface of the frame base s210 is formed with a bearing surface extending from the outside of the transfer cart to the inside from top to bottom, wherein the bearing surface is connected with the unloading surface from the upper end, and long rods falling freely from the unloading surface roll to the unloading opening at the lower part along the bearing surface for stacking.

The baffle s211 includes a first baffle c 'and a second baffle d' disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the first frame a 'and the second frame b' and disposed on the truss s20, wherein the first baffle c 'and the second baffle d' are symmetrically disposed.
The gate assembly s212 includes a first gate e 'and a second gate f' disposed at one side of the first frame a 'and the second frame b', and a first driver g 'and a second driver h' for driving the first gate e 'and the second gate f' to move, respectively, wherein the first gate e 'and the first driver g' are one group, and the second gate f 'and the second driver h' are the other group, and the two groups move symmetrically and synchronously.
Specifically, a first baffle plate c ' and a second baffle plate d ' are respectively positioned above the inclined edges of a first frame body a ' and a second frame body b ', and a first discharge opening K1 is formed among the first baffle plate c ', the first frame body a ' and a first gate e '; a second discharge opening K2 is formed among the second baffle plate d ', the second frame body b ' and the second gate f '; the first discharge port K1 and the second discharge port K2 are symmetrically arranged and constitute the discharge port K. That is, the gate is also a part constituting the discharge port K as long as the movement of the gate allows the long bar stock to fall from the first discharge port K1 and the second discharge port K2.
The first barrier c 'is vertically arranged, a discharge space for a long rod to fall is formed between the lower end of the first barrier c' and the oblique edge of the first frame a ', and the first gate e' is horizontally arranged above the discharge space, wherein when the first gate e 'moves horizontally to the feeding end of the first frame a', the first discharge opening K1 is opened.
The first gate e' comprises a first gate seat e1 positioned on the truss s20, a first slide seat e2 horizontally arranged on the first gate seat e1 along the direction perpendicular to the length direction of the long bar B, a first supporting round rod e3 fixedly arranged on the first slide seat e2 and extending along the length direction of the first slide seat e2, wherein the first supporting bar e3 is circular in cross section, and the upper part of the circle protrudes upwards out of the first slide seat e2 and forms part of the first discharge opening K1, so that the contact area with the long bar B is small, and the opening and closing operation of the discharge opening K is facilitated, the first actuator g' is used to push the first slide e2 to move on the first gate seat e1, when the first discharge port K1 is closed (see fig. 9), the long bar stock B is bridged on the first support rod e3, when the first discharge opening K1 is opened and the size of the gap formed is equal to the outer diameter of the long billet B (shown in connection with fig. 10), the long billet B rolls out of the first discharge opening K1.
According to the principle of symmetry, the second baffle d 'is also vertically arranged, a discharge space for a long rod to fall is formed between the lower end of the second baffle d' and the oblique edge of the second frame b ', the second gate f' is horizontally arranged above the discharge space, and after the second gate f 'moves horizontally to the feeding end of the second frame b', the second discharge opening K2 is opened.
In this example, the first driver g 'and the second driver h' have the same structure, are both telescopic rods, and have power of hydraulic pressure, electric power or pneumatic power.
The second gate f 'includes a second gate base f1 positioned on the truss s20, a second slide base f2 horizontally disposed on the second gate base f1 along a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the long stick B, a second support bar f3 fixedly disposed on the second slide base f2 and extending along the length direction of the second slide base f2, wherein the second support bar f3 has a circular cross section, and an upper portion of the circular cross section protrudes upward from the second slide base f2 and forms a part of the second discharge opening K2, and a second driver h' for pushing the second slide base f2 to move on the second gate base f 1.
That is, under the driving of the first driver g 'and the second driver h' which move synchronously, the first discharge port K1 and the second discharge port K2 move synchronously, so that the discharge ports are opened, and the width of the discharge ports is equal to the outer diameter of the long rod, at this time, the long rod is discharged one by one from the discharge ports and forms the first pass discharge unit.
In this application, when the uninstallation mouth was opened, if take place the unloading when not smooth, can also adjust the telescopic link small amplitude telescopic motion that makes a round trip for first gate e 'and second gate f' further open and closed motion, the long rod state of adjustment long rod bearing area makes the smooth unloading of long rod, promptly, reduces the phenomenon of putty and takes place.
It should be noted that, in this example, the height of the discharge opening is matched with the moving distance of the endless conveyor per unit time, that is, after the endless conveyor moves for every pitch groove distance, a long bar falls from the discharge opening, so that a batch of long bars falls one by one into each feeding groove passing below the discharge opening.
the baffle s211 further comprises a third baffle i 'and a fourth baffle j' which are arranged on the truss and are respectively arranged in parallel with the inner end surfaces of the first frame body a 'and the second frame body b', wherein a third discharge opening K3 is formed between the third baffle i 'and the inner end surface of the first frame body a'; a fourth discharge opening K4 is formed between the fourth baffle j 'and the inner end surface of the second frame body b', the third discharge opening K3 and the fourth discharge opening K4 are aligned to form a discharge passage X, and the width of the discharge passage X is 1.2 times of the outer diameter of the long rod. That is, the long rod material in this embodiment is unloaded from the discharge port K to the discharge channel X, and then discharged from the bottom of the discharge channel X, and at this time, a second discharge unit is formed. The device has the advantages that on one hand, the accuracy of the falling position of the bar stock is high, and the bar stock can fall into the feeding groove below the bar stock accurately; on the other hand, when the material rod is clamped (mainly at the unloading port), the position and the state of the material rod are adjusted by the movement of the first gate and the second gate at the unloading port, so that the long rod material is smoothly unloaded, and meanwhile, only one material loading groove is unloaded to the lower part from the unloading channel at each time under the assistance of the unloading channel.
The long bar feeding unit s3 comprises an annular conveyor belt s30 arranged on the other side of the truss s20 and horizontally arranged on the vehicle frame s10, and a driving assembly s31 for driving the annular conveyor belt s30 to rotate, wherein the feeding end (right end) of the annular conveyor belt s30 is positioned below the unloading channel X, and the discharging end (left end) is arranged from the opposite side of the vehicle frame s10 corresponding to the supporting frame s 21.
in this example, a plurality of feeding grooves s30a extending along the width direction of the annular conveyor belt are uniformly distributed on the circumferential surface of the annular conveyor belt s30, each feeding groove s30a is matched with a long rod to be fed, when a specified machine tool needs to be fed, the discharging end part of the annular conveyor belt s30 is inserted into the machine tool to feed, the discharging opening is opened, the long rod falls into the corresponding feeding groove one by one through the discharging opening and the discharging channel, and the long rod is fed into the feeding center of the machine tool one by one from the discharging end part under the transmission of the annular conveyor belt.
Meanwhile, the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the endless conveyor belt s30 are provided with a feeding groove s30a and a driving groove s30b, which are recessed inward from the surface, respectively, wherein the feeding groove s30a and the driving groove s30b have the same shape and structure. Therefore, as long as the annular belt is adopted, the front surface and the back surface are universal, and the practical use and installation are very convenient.
In order to simplify the construction and to reduce the weight, the support is constructed in such a way that the frame bars are connected to one another.
In this example, there are two endless conveyors s30, and two endless conveyors s30 are arranged side by side and aligned along the length of truss s20 between the first frame a 'and the second frame b', and the feeding end of endless conveyor s30 extends below the inclined surface; the discharge end portion protrudes outside the vehicle frame s 10.
The two endless conveyors s30 move synchronously, the feeding troughs s30a on the two endless conveyors s30 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and each long bar B falling from the unloading channel X falls into the two feeding troughs s30a corresponding to the long bar B, so that the long bar B is supported and transshipped and positioned.
specifically, the driving assembly s31 includes a driving wheel s310 and a driven wheel s311 which are in matched butt joint with the driving grooves s30b of each endless transmission belt s30, a synchronizing shaft s312 for synchronously connecting two adjacent driving wheels s310, and a driving motor s313 and a transmission member s314 for driving the synchronizing shaft s312 to rotate around the axes thereof.
The transmission s314 may take the form of a belt-pulley or gear-mesh transmission, which will not be described in detail herein.
Meanwhile, it is also a conventional means in the art to adjust the distance between the driving pulley s310 and the driven pulley s311 so as to tension the endless belt in consideration of the different load-bearing capacities of the endless transmission belt s30, and it will not be described in detail herein.
In this case, the number of the channels s30a of the endless conveyor s30 on the upper surface is greater than the number of feeds required per processing unit, and the opening width of the discharge opening is equal to the outer diameter of the long bar to be fed. Thus, it is generally the case that a batch of material falls substantially onto the loading chute of the corresponding horizontal segment of the endless conveyor.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that, in this example, the height of the unloading port is matched with the moving distance of the endless conveyor in unit time, that is, after the endless conveyor moves for every pitch groove distance, a long bar falls from the unloading port, so that a batch of long bars falls into each feeding groove passing below the unloading port one by one.
In this example, in order to realize quantitative feeding (without manually counting) for each machine tool, the following two methods can be adopted:
1) The automatic feeding device also comprises a weighing mechanism (not shown in the figure, but not difficult to think) which is arranged on the transfer skip car and used for weighing long bars loaded in each batch, wherein the weighing mechanism is communicated with the driving assembly, when in feeding, the weight reduced each time is the weight of one long bar, and when the reduced weight is equal to the total weight of the required feeding number, the driving assembly is switched to move in a reverse direction to return the long bars close to the output end part to the horizontal section of the endless conveyor belt. The purpose that sets up like this can realize the feed of the long bar of required radical of a batch, and unnecessary long bar returns endless conveyor's horizontal segment again simultaneously, makes things convenient for unnecessary long bar to remove like this, prevents that long bar from losing from endless conveyor discharge end portion.
meanwhile, the applicant needs to supplement that once interruption occurs in the weighing process, which indicates that the unloading port may be blocked, one solution is to alarm; the other solution is that the telescopic rod moves back and forth in a small amplitude, so that the problem of blockage at the unloading port is automatically solved.
) The automatic feeding device also comprises a counting mechanism communicated with the driving component, wherein the counting mechanism is used for counting the number of long bars transmitted out of the annular conveyor belt, when the number of the fed bars is equal to the number of the required bars, the driving component is switched to move in a reverse direction, and the long bars close to the output end part are returned to the horizontal section of the annular conveyor belt. Thus, redundant long bars can be conveniently moved, and the long bars are prevented from being lost from the discharge end part of the annular conveyor belt.
In 2), as to how to realize the statistics of the number of the long bars transmitted from the endless conveyor, a photoelectric sensor commonly used in the field can be adopted, when the photoelectric sensor senses that one long bar is discharged from the endless conveyor, the number of the long bars is counted, and when the accumulated number of the counts is equal to the number of the long bars needing to be fed, the driving assembly is switched to move in the reverse direction, and the long bars close to the output end are sent back to the horizontal section of the endless conveyor. Or according to the time, the reason is simple, because the moving speed of the endless conveyor belt is stable, a sensor is arranged at the output end, once a long bar material is discharged, the timing is started, and after the set time, the discharging is stopped and the reverse rotation is carried out, so that the feeding can be quantitatively finished.
Similarly, once interruption occurs in the counting process, the unloading port is probably blocked, and one solution is alarm; the other solution is that the telescopic rod moves back and forth in a small amplitude, so that the problem of blockage at the unloading port is automatically solved.
In the embodiment, the two means are combined, so that mutual authentication is performed between the two means, and feeding is completed more accurately.
Meanwhile, baffle plate assemblies s4 extending in the long rod conveying direction are provided at both ends of the truss s20, and the baffle plate assemblies s4 at both ends are symmetrically provided.
Specifically, the baffle assembly s4 includes a sealing plate s40 disposed perpendicular to the truss s20, and guide flanges s41 bent inward from both ends of the sealing plate s 40. In this case, the baffle assembly s4 is provided to prevent sudden stop during the transfer of long rods, which may result in unexpected transportation accident due to the impact of the long rods from the feeding chute. Meanwhile, under the action of the guide folding edge s41, the long rod materials which are staggered conveniently can be smoothly ejected into the long rod material bearing area.
