Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machining equipment, in particular to a machining equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the promotion of the concept of "green travel", people are more inclined to use bicycles for short-distance travel. With the popularization of shared bicycles, the demand for bicycles is increasing.
[0003] The traditional production supply capacity is increasingly insufficient. The reason is that in the production process, the loading and unloading operations of the processing equipment still rely mainly on manual handling and transfer, which causes the processing equipment to have a relatively long standby time between two operations. This is especially true for bicycle head tubes, which have a relatively small processing area and a short processing cycle. Workers need to change workpieces more frequently, and the processing time is short, while the material change time is long, which prolongs the cycle of the entire production process. At the same time, since the loading and unloading operations of the staff and the processing operations of the processing equipment are always carried out alternately, to a certain extent, it also causes a waste of manpower.
[0004] At present, some processing equipment uses a robotic arm to replace manual workpiece grabbing to change materials for the processing device. Since the robotic arm generally needs to be fixed in a certain place to grab the workpieces around it, the robotic arm is generally equipped with a conveyor belt to transport large batches of workpieces for the robotic arm to grab the batch of workpieces for processing. Although the efficiency of material change is improved to a certain extent, the floor space of this set of equipment is increased. It is not convenient for the layout of the factory.

[0047] Specifically, in the preparation stage, a plurality of material frames 300 loaded with workpieces to be processed are prepared, and the plurality of material frames 300 are placed in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first platforms 200, and at this time all the first platforms 200 are the first platforms 200A; the second platform 400 selects any one of the first platforms 200A as the first platform 200C, and the second platform 400 moves along the vertical direction Z and is adjusted to be aligned with the first platform 200C in the first horizontal direction X, and the first transfer mechanism 500 transports the material frame 300 loaded with workpieces to be processed on the first platform 200C to the second platform 400, and the second platform 400 moves along the vertical direction Z to the vicinity of the processing assembly, and the second transfer mechanism 610 transfers the workpieces in the material frame 300 of the second platform 400 to the processing mechanism 620 for processing; the workpieces after processing are put back into the material frame 300 by the second transfer mechanism 610, when all the workpieces in the material frame 300 are processed workpieces. The second platform 400 moves along the vertical direction Z and returns to the first platform 200C. The first transfer mechanism 500 transfers the material frame 300 loaded with the completed workpiece to the first platform 200C. At this time, the first platform 200C is recorded as the first platform 200B. Subsequently, the second platform 400 selects the first platform 200C from the remaining first platforms 200A and repeats the above process until all the first platforms 200A are recorded as the first platforms 200B.
[0048] In this way, by setting up multiple first platforms 200, the processing equipment can store multiple material frames 300 by loading materials at one time. Under the coordinated action of the first transfer mechanism 500, the second platform 400 and the second transfer mechanism 610, the processing mechanism 620 can work continuously, shortening the interval time between loading and unloading materials and improving work efficiency. In addition, multiple first platforms 200 are arranged along the vertical direction Z, reducing the occupied space in the horizontal direction. The second platform 400 only moves along the vertical direction Z each time, making it easier for the second platform 400 to align with the first platform 200 to facilitate the transfer of the material frame 300.

[0050] Optionally, the first transplanting mechanism 500 is installed on the second platform 400, and the first transplanting mechanism 500 includes a second guide rail 510 and a first clamping portion 520, the second guide rail 510 is fixed to the second platform 400, the first clamping portion 520 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 510 along the first horizontal direction X, and the first clamping portion 520 can clamp the material frame 300 along the second horizontal direction Y; the first horizontal direction X is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction Y. In this arrangement, the first clamping portion 520 clamps the material frame 300 along the second horizontal direction Y, so that the first clamping portion 520 can carry the material frame 300 and move back and forth along the first horizontal direction X, and the guiding function of the second guide rail 510 regulates the movement trajectory of the first clamping portion 520 and the material frame 300.

In this way, the two clips 523 can realize the opening and closing of the first clamping portion 520 in the second horizontal direction Y by being slidably connected to the third guide rail 522, and the spacing between the two clips 523 can be adjusted to complete the clamping of the material frame 300, and can adapt to material frames 300 of various sizes within a certain range.
[0052] Optionally, the clip 523 includes a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface, the first abutting surface can abut the material frame 300 on one side of the first horizontal direction X, the second abutting surface can abut the material frame 300 in the second horizontal direction Y, and the two clips 523 are mirrored in the second horizontal direction Y. In this way, when the first clamping portion 520 opens and closes in the second horizontal direction Y to fix the material frame 300, the second abutting surfaces of the two clips 523 can clamp the opposite sides of the material frame 300 along the second horizontal direction Y; after the clamping is completed, when the first clamping portion 520 transports the material frame 300 from the second platform 400 to the first platform 200 along the first horizontal direction X, the first abutting surfaces of the two clips 523 can move along the first horizontal direction X to abut the material frame 300.

[0061] Specifically, the second clamping portion 611 is a three-grip chuck 621 structure, and the axes of the two second clamping portions 611 are perpendicular to each other, so that when one of the clamping portions grasps a workpiece, the workpiece carried by the other clamping portion can be prevented from interfering with the grasping process.
[0062] For ease of description, the two second clamping portions 611 are respectively referred to as a second clamping portion 611A and a second clamping portion 611B.
[0063] During use, if a workpiece is clamped in the fixed tooling of the processing mechanism 620, the second clamping part 611A will first take out the processed workpiece, and then the second clamping part 611B will load the workpiece to be processed into the processing mechanism 620, the adjusting arm 612 will move the two second clamping parts 611 to above the second platform 400, the second clamping part 611A will put the processed workpiece back into the material frame 300, and the second clamping part 611B will grab a workpiece to be processed from the material frame 300.
