[0002] With the development of technology, the quality requirements for 3C thin sheets such as glass, ceramic sheets, glass-ceramic sheets, and sapphire are getting higher and higher. Because of the thin and fragile structure of 3C thin sheets, they cannot withstand too much force. Not only is it inconvenient for loading and unloading, but also it is difficult for existing jigs to accurately and stably clamp and position 3C thin sheets.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a 3C thin sheet machining center to achieve automatic loading and unloading and accurately position the fragile structure of 3C thin sheets without causing damage, thereby facilitating more refined processing of 3C thin sheets. Summary of the Invention

The material socket is composed of the wave-shaped grooves and the tooth grooves. The material sheet is vertically inserted between the concave parts of the two wave-shaped grooves and the tooth grooves.
[0011] Furthermore, the rack includes a rack body. The bottom of the blank placing rack is slidably connected to the rack body, and the blank placing rack can slide along the Y-axis direction.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0017] 1. By setting a dual-station suction cup device driven by multiple axes on the processing head, the present invention integrates material processing and loading / unloading, which not only simplifies the equipment structure, reduces costs, but also improves work efficiency. At the same time, the special suction cup frame structure of the present invention enables multiple suction cups to synchronously adsorb materials, which not only enables rapid and stable clamping, but also enables accurate positioning of material loading and unloading.
[0018] 2. One of the automatic fixtures of the present invention can adopt an integrated cylinder structure and accurately position 3C thin sheets such as glass, ceramic sheets, glass-ceramic sheets, and sapphires through a diagonal clamping working method; second, it can adapt to various processing modes, namely product contour engraving processing and large-surface precision engraving and milling processing of products; third, the driving cylinder is inclinedly installed. When the clamping block is not clamped, the upper surface of the clamping block is lower than the surface of the product vacuum fixture, which is convenient for various tool processing. When clamping the product, according to the inclination angle of the cylinder body, the clamping block will tilt upwards obliquely with the lever and be 4-5 mm higher than the product, which can completely clamp and position the product; fourth, the positioning accuracy of the fixture is 0.01-0.02 mm, which belongs to high-precision positioning and far exceeds the existing products on the current market. It can reduce the incoming material size, and more importantly, it can reduce the processing time of the current process; fifth, it can quickly switch to the processing of products with different model sizes, and directly replace the vacuum fixture body on it. The production line adjustment is fast and convenient.
[0019] 3. The present invention also solves the defect that it is difficult for traditional linear machining centers to machine the rounded corners of materials. By setting a switchable electromagnetic rotation combination directly below the four corners of the vacuum fixture body, the material fixed on the vacuum fixture body can rotate around a specific axis to cooperate with the head tool to complete the machining of arcs such as rounded corners.
[0020] 4. The material rack of the present invention is provided with a slidable blank placement rack and a finished product placement rack. After the suction cup device clamps a piece of material from the blank placement rack and places it on the finished product placement rack after processing, the blank placement rack and the finished product placement rack move forward and backward through the gears provided between them, so that the suction cup device can pick up or place materials at the same position above the material rack, reducing the equipment failure rate and improving the grasping accuracy.

[0054] An electromagnetic rotation combination is provided between the transition plate 22 and the main body box 1. The electromagnetic rotation combination includes a rotating column device 47 and an electromagnet 48. The lower part of the rotating column device 47 is fixed to the main body box 1, and the output end of the upper part of the rotating column device 47 is fixed with the electromagnet 48.

[0055] Working principle: The first suction cup device 16 and the second suction cup device 26 of the present invention move above the blank placement rack 30 of the material rack 28. The Z-axis driving cylinder 14 pushes the first suction cup device 16 and the second suction cup device 26 downward. The rotating device 17 rotates the first suction cup device 16 and the second suction cup device 26 to make the pneumatic suction cup 20 adsorb the vertically placed blank. After the pneumatic suction cup 20 holds the blank, the first suction cup device 16 and the second suction cup device 26 rise. The Y-axis traveling device controls the base 8 to move forward until the inclined automatic fixture 29 is located below the first suction cup device 16 and the second suction cup device 26. At this time, the X-axis driving cylinder 15 opens, and the two blanks are respectively placed on the vacuum jig main body 21. The positioning clamping block 4 and the clamping block 3 clamp and adjust the position of the blank. Then the vacuum jig main body 21 adsorbs and fixes the blank. The Z-axis traveling device 12 controls the head assembly 13 to descend to process the outer peripheries of the two blanks in sequence. In this embodiment, the blank to be processed is a rectangular thin sheet with rounded corners at the four corners. The cylindrical grinding head 46 of the head assembly 13 performs linear processing along the outer periphery of the rectangular thin sheet under the drive of the X-axis traveling device 11 and the Y-axis traveling device. When the cylindrical grinding head 46 moves to the middle of the rounded corner, the Z-axis traveling device 12 controls the cylindrical grinding head 46 to descend. The larger-diameter cylinder section on the cylindrical grinding head 46 contacts the thin sheet. At this time, the power supply of the other three electromagnetic rotation combinations far from the rounded corner below the vacuum jig main body 21 is cut off, and only the connection between the rotating column device 47 facing the center of the rounded corner and the vacuum jig main body 21 is retained. At the same time, the rotating column device 47 is started to rotate, driving the vacuum jig main body 21 to rotate, so that the blank rotates along the center of the rounded corner closely against the cylindrical grinding head 46 to complete the processing of the rounded corner. After processing the rounded corner, the cylindrical grinding head 46 rises to continue processing the linear outer periphery of the thin sheet. After both thin sheets are processed, the first suction cup device 16 and the second suction cup device 26 grab the thin sheets and place them on the finished product placement rack 35. Among them, the blank placement rack 30 and the finished product placement rack 35 can slide along the Y-axis direction on the material rack 28. After the first suction cup device 16 and the second suction cup device 26 pick up a piece of material from the blank placement rack 30 and place it on the finished product placement rack 35 after processing, the blank placement rack 30 and the finished product placement rack 35 move forward and backward through the gear 44 provided between them, so that the suction cup device can pick up or place materials at the same position above the material rack 28, reducing the equipment failure rate and improving the grasping accuracy.

The driving sources include, for example: the X / Y / Z-axis traveling device 12, the X / Z-axis driving cylinder 14, the first suction cup device 16, the first driving cylinder 5, etc. In addition, the present invention aims to protect the equipment structure as described in the claims.
