[0034] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a probe side hole processing device with feeding and unloading functions, comprising:

[0036] One feeding mechanism 6;

[0037] A conveying mechanism 2, the receiving port of the conveying mechanism 2 is located below the discharge port of the feeding mechanism 6;

[0038] A positioning mechanism 4 is located outside the receiving port of the conveying mechanism 2 and cooperates with the conveying mechanism 2 to complete the positioning and clamping of the probe 7.

[0039] A milling mechanism 5 is located outside the transport mechanism 2 and the positioning mechanism 4, and is used to drill holes on the side of the probe 7 after it is positioned and clamped.

[0040] During operation, the feeding mechanism 6 feeds the semi-finished probe 7 into the feeding port of the conveying mechanism 2, and then resets. The conveying mechanism 2 then transports the semi-finished probe 7 to the positioning mechanism 4. The positioning mechanism 4, together with the conveying mechanism 2, clamps the probe 7. Finally, the milling mechanism 5 drills a hole on the side of the probe 7. Afterwards, the milling mechanism 5, positioning mechanism 4, and conveying mechanism 2 are reset sequentially before the probe 7 with the machined side hole can be removed.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, in a probe side hole processing device with feeding and unloading according to the present invention, the feeding mechanism 6 includes:

[0042] A 606 seat;

[0043] A feeding bin 604 is placed on a support 606. The upper surface of the feeding bin 606 is provided with a downwardly oriented chute 603. The front end of the feeding bin 604 is provided with a vertically distributed first material trough 607 that allows only one probe 7 to fall. The first material trough 607 is connected to the chute 603.

[0044] One feeding cylinder 601;

[0045] A feeding plate 602 is provided on the drive end of the feeding cylinder 601. The feeding plate 602 is slidably disposed between the support 601 and the feeding bin 604. A second material trough 605 matching the first material trough 607 is provided on the feeding plate 602. The second material trough 605 is the discharge port of the feeding mechanism 6.

[0046] The feeding cylinder 601 drives the feeding plate 602 to extend. When the second material groove 605 on the feeding plate 602 passes the first material groove 607, a semi-finished probe 7 falls into the second material groove 605. The feeding plate 602 continues to extend forward. When the second material groove 605 passes the third material groove 205 of the slider 204, the semi-finished probe 7 falls into the third material groove 205. At this time, one feeding is completed. The feeding cylinder 601 drives the feeding plate 602 to retract and reset, waiting for the next feeding.

[0047] Combination Figure 2 In a probe side hole processing device with feeding and unloading according to the present invention, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a first slide cylinder 201. The driving end of the first slide cylinder 201 is provided with a slider 206 and an L-shaped bracket 202. A third material groove 205 is provided on the slider 204. The third material groove 205 is the receiving port of the conveying mechanism 2. A needle cylinder 203 is provided on the L-shaped bracket 202. The driving end of the needle cylinder 203 is connected to a first pressure head 206. The first pressure head 206 is located above the third material groove 205.

[0048] When the feeding mechanism 6 delivers a probe 7 into the third material trough 205, the needle cylinder 203 extends to press the probe 7, and then the first slide cylinder 201 extends to drive the probe 7 toward the positioning mechanism 4.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in a probe side hole processing device with feeding and unloading according to the present invention, a vacuum tube connector 207 is provided on the lower side of the slider 204. One end of the vacuum tube connector 207 is connected to an external vacuum tube, and the other end is connected to the third material tank 205.

[0050] The vacuum tube connector 207 can hold the probe 7 in the third material tank 205, preventing it from falling or shifting during movement.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in a probe side hole processing device with feeding and unloading according to the present invention, a material collection trough 3 is also included, which is located below the third material trough 205.

[0052] Combination Figure 3 In a probe side hole processing device with feeding and unloading according to the present invention, the positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning bracket 404. A second slide cylinder 402 is provided on the positioning bracket 401. A limit block 403 is provided on the driving end of the second slide cylinder 402. A ejector pin 405 is provided on the side of the limit block 403. The front end of the ejector pin 405 is axially aligned with the third material groove 205. An adjustment block 404 is provided on the positioning bracket 401. The ejector pin 405 passes through the adjustment block 404.

[0053] The second slide cylinder 402 extends, driving the ejector pin 405 to move towards the third material groove 205, where it, together with the first pressure head 206, completes the positioning and clamping of the probe 7. Furthermore, adjusting the position of the adjusting block 404 allows setting the sliding distance between the limit block 403 and the adjusting block 404, thereby achieving the displacement of the ejector pin 405.

[0054] Combination Figure 4 In a probe side hole processing device with feeding and unloading according to the present invention, the milling mechanism 5 includes a first motor 501, a lead screw is provided on the rotating shaft of the first motor 501, a nut is threaded on the lead screw, a base 504 is provided on the nut, the base 504 is slidably sleeved on the frame 505, a second motor 502 is provided on the base 504, and a milling cutter 503 is provided on the rotating shaft of the second motor 502, the milling cutter 503 pointing towards the side of the probe 7.

[0055] Based on the principle of lead screw transmission, the base 504 will reciprocate linearly along the frame 505 under the action of the lead screw. When the probe 7 is positioned and clamped, the base 504 moves forward, and the second motor 502 starts, which will drive the milling cutter 503 to complete the drilling process on the side of the probe 7.

[0056] Combination Figure 4 In a probe side hole processing device with feeding and unloading according to the present invention, a second pressure head 506 is provided on the base 504. The second pressure head 506 is located on one side of the milling cutter 503, and a straightening groove matching the probe 7 is provided on the side of the second pressure head 506.

[0057] When the milling cutter 503 approaches the probe 7, one side of the probe 7 will be tightly pressed against the straightening groove. The straightening groove can straighten some bent probes 7 to ensure machining accuracy. After the drilling is completed, the second motor 502 is stopped, and the first motor is rotated in the opposite direction until the base 504 is reset. Then, the second slide cylinder 402 and the first slide 201 are retracted and reset in sequence, and then the needle cylinder 203 is retracted and reset. After that, the switch of the vacuum tube connector 207 is turned off, and the probe 7 will fall into the collection tank 3 under the action of gravity.

[0058] Combination Figure 4 In the probe side hole processing equipment with feeding and unloading of the present invention, the first motor 501 and the second motor 502 are both servo motors, which are convenient for precise control.

[0059] Combination Figure 4 In a probe side hole processing device with feeding and unloading according to the present invention, a worktable 1 is also included. The feeding mechanism 6 is set on the worktable 1, which facilitates the adjustment of its height arrangement with the conveying mechanism 2, so as to ensure that the feeding can be completed smoothly.
