[0002] A milling cutter welding machine is a special equipment for welding milling cutter blades to the cutter body, and is widely used in the fields of tool manufacturing and machining.

[0003] Among them, as one of the commonly used welding equipment, the arc welding milling cutter welding machine combines arc welding technology with milling cutter manufacturing technology. Based on the high-temperature melting characteristics of arc welding, the blade is firmly fixed on the cutter body to ensure that the milling cutter has sufficient strength and stability during high-speed cutting.

[0004] Referring to the feeding device of a resistance welding machine for PCB milling cutter processing disclosed in the patent application with the publication number CN210451352U, by setting a head and shank material handling module, a head material feeding circular vibrator, a shank material feeding hopper and a head and shank material handling motor, it is convenient to feed the milling cutter and the stainless steel shank, and then the two are welded by thermal resistance, avoiding inconvenient feeding during the welding of the milling cutter and the stainless steel shank, resulting in poor welding by using resistance heating, facilitating the reduction of the usage cost of silver solder sheets and fluxes, automatic feeding, high reliability, facilitating the improvement of welding quality, and carrying out batch automated production.

[0005] The above-mentioned milling cutter processing feeding device in the prior art has the following defects in actual use: When the existing milling cutter welding machine welds a milling cutter workpiece, after welding one blade in one of the cutter grooves, it is necessary to first release the fixation of the milling cutter shank, and then manually flip the milling cutter shank so that another cutter groove is in a position facing the welding torch and then clamp and fix it before performing the secondary welding operation. During the process of manually or mechanically flipping the shank, it is difficult to accurately control the angle and position of each flip, resulting in a deviation in the relative position between the cutter groove and the welding torch, and flipping the shank requires additional operation steps, increasing the welding preparation time, with low automation and reducing the overall welding efficiency. Especially in batch production, frequently flipping the shank will significantly extend the single-piece processing time and it is difficult to meet the high-efficiency production requirements.

[0018] The present invention provides a feeding device for a milling cutter workpiece of a milling cutter welding machine. Compared with the prior art, the following beneficial effects are achieved: 1. A feeding device for a milling cutter workpiece of a milling cutter welding machine. By setting a milling cutter clamping assembly, a first toothed ring and a drive ring, the milling cutter clamping assembly can first perform pre-clamping on milling cutter assemblies with different outer diameters and then realize simultaneous clamping at multiple positions by the driving force of the drive ring. The pre-clamping of the positioning clamping unit can prevent the milling cutter assembly from rotating freely, so as to ensure that each cutter groove is in a predetermined definite position. And the clamping unit can further stably clamp the milling cutter assembly on the basis of pre-clamping, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent cutter groove and cutter blade assembly, thus laying a foundation for the feeding work before subsequent welding. And by adjusting the distance between the carrier and the drive ring, the clamping radius of multiple clamping units can be changed, so that the milling cutter clamping assembly can be applicable to the clamping work of milling cutters with various outer diameter sizes. Moreover, the support tube assembly can also be adaptively adjusted according to the lengths of different milling cutter assemblies to realize the pre-clamping work of milling cutter assemblies with various lengths, greatly expanding the applicable range of the milling cutter clamping assembly.

[0019] 2. A tool holder feeding device for a milling cutter welding machine. By setting a turntable, multiple milling cutter clamping components and a feeding control component, when the turntable rotates, each milling cutter clamping component can load the milling cutter assembly and pass through the feeding control components at multiple positions in sequence. And when the milling cutter clamping component and the feeding control component meet, the feeding control component can be triggered to control the automatic assembly process of the blade into the tool slot. And after the blade and the tool slot are assembled, it can also automatically control the arc welding manipulator to weld the blade according to a preset program. Moreover, after one feeding control component completes the welding, it can complete a 120-degree flip when meeting another feeding control component, realizing the operation of automatically welding the blade to the next tool slot, so as to achieve the automatic flipping of the milling cutter assembly, the automatic assembly of the blade and the tool slot, and the automatic switching of the welding position, and achieve the purpose of automatically welding the milling cutter assembly.

[0020] 3. A tool holder feeding device for a milling cutter welding machine. The intermittent rotation of the turntable is controlled by a servo motor to drive the rotation of multiple milling cutter clamps, enabling the welding operation of the milling cutter assembly to be carried out simultaneously at multiple positions. And after the tool holder clamping component carrying the welded milling cutter loses the driving force of the driving ring, it can also automatically release the driving and clamping of the tool holder clamping component, facilitating the automatic release of the clamping of the milling cutter assembly during the intermittent time of the servo motor, so as to conveniently take out the milling cutter assembly.

The servo motor 35 drives the worm 36 to rotate to drive the worm wheel 43 to run according to a preset program. The carrier 4216 on one of the milling cutter clamping assemblies 42 meets one end of the first drive ring 37 and slides into its inner wall along the arc angle at this end of the first drive ring 37. The carrier 4216 is pushed by the inner wall of the first drive ring 37 and synchronously pushes the second drive ring 4211 to slide along the outer wall of the cylinder body 421. The wedge blocks 427 at multiple positions are driven by the wedge grooves at the corresponding positions on the inner wall of the second drive ring 4211 and gradually move towards the inside of the adjustment cavity 426. The arc-shaped clamping blocks 429 at multiple positions are pushed by the wedge blocks 427 at the corresponding positions and synchronously move closer to each other to form a stable clamp on the outer wall of the tool shank 61. When the turntable 41 continues to rotate, the milling cutter clamping assembly 42 reaches the position opposite to the blade placement cylinder 342, and the drive rod 4219 triggers the first trigger switch 347 and the second trigger switch 348 at the same time. At this time, the electromagnet inside the push plate 346 is energized and has magnetic attraction. At this time, the top of the tool groove 63 and the blade support plate 343 are on the same horizontal line, and the blade 64 is directly opposite to the bottom of the blade placement cylinder 342. Then, the cylinder 345 pushes the push plate 346 to move along directly below the blade placement cylinder 342. The blade 64 located directly below the blade placement cylinder 342 contacts the push plate 346 and is stably adsorbed on the electromagnet. Then, the push plate 346 is synchronously pushed towards the tool groove 63. The push plate 346 temporarily seals the space between the blade support plate 343 and the blade placement cylinder 342. After the blade 64 is pushed into the tool groove 63 and contacts the adhesive, the blade 64 is positioned inside the tool groove 63. The control time of the second trigger switch 348 ends, and the electromagnet loses magnetism and cannot continue to adsorb the blade 64. The first trigger switch 347 continues to control the push plate 346 to return to the original position. After the push plate 346 is withdrawn from the bottom of the blade placement cylinder 342, the blade 64 inside the blade placement cylinder 342 falls on the blade support plate 343 under the action of gravity; Next, when the intermittent time of the servo motor 35 ends, the servo motor 35 continues to drive the turntable 41 to rotate to a position opposite to the third trigger switch 3410. While the third trigger switch 3410 is triggered by the driving rod 4219, the servo motor 35 enters the intermittent stop rotation state again. After the third trigger switch 3410 is triggered, the arc welding manipulator 5 reaches the corresponding position of the third trigger switch 3410 according to the position instruction and welding control instruction sent by the third trigger switch 3410. Then, the arc welding manipulator 5 uses the arc welding gun at its end to perform spot welding on the four corners of the blade 64 first, and then performs all-round welding. After welding the position of one of the tool grooves 63, the arc welding manipulator 5 resets to the original position again. Then, the servo motor 35 continues to drive the turntable 41 to rotate and reaches the position of the next loading control component 34, so that another tool groove 63 is turned to the directly above, that is, the space between the top of the blade support plate 343 and the bottom of the blade placement cylinder 342 in the next loading control component 34 is opposite to the tool groove 63. Since the welding method for each tool groove 63 area is the same, it will not be elaborated here in detail; After welding the areas of multiple tool grooves 63, the tool holder assembly 42 of the milling cutter assembly 6 returns to the original position again, that is, the tool holder assembly 42 is located in the middle area on the notch of the first drive ring 37. At this time, the carrier 4216 loses the drive of the first drive ring 37 and releases the clamping action on the milling cutter assembly 6, and the staff can extract the milling cutter assembly 6 through the operation window; When welding milling cutter assemblies 6 with different outer diameters is required, the position adjustment ring 4214 is pushed along the outer wall of the second drive ring 4211 within a certain range by referring to the scale wire groove 4213. For each scale distance that the position adjustment ring 4214 moves towards the carrier 4216, the distance that the first drive ring 37 pushes the carrier 4216 to move increases, so that the clamping outer diameter adapted by the multiple arc-shaped clamping blocks 429 decreases by one millimeter. On the contrary, for each scale distance that the position adjustment ring 4214 moves in the direction away from the carrier 4216, the distance that the first drive ring 37 pushes the carrier 4216 to move increases, and the clamping outer diameter adapted by the multiple arc-shaped clamping blocks 429 increases by one millimeter. After the position adjustment of the position adjustment ring 4214 is completed, the positions of the second drive ring 4211 and the position adjustment ring 4214 are locked using a fastening bolt.
