Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of musical instrument processing technology, and in particular relates to an automatic feeding multi-dimensional processing device for electric guitar necks. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, guitar necks are processed manually, one by one, with each neck cut individually. Due to the large number of cutting sizes and the heavy workload, prolonged manual cutting operations result in high labor intensity and low safety. The non-standard cutting sizes require repeated processing, which also reduces work efficiency and causes unnecessary production safety hazards and losses.

[0003] Therefore, developing a guitar neck processing device that can replace manual cutting is the key to solving the problem. Summary of the Invention

The surface of the clamping slide is provided with a clamping groove that is adapted to the electric guitar neck. The clamping drive is located on both sides of the clamping groove, and the clamping plate is set on the clamping drive.

[0007] Furthermore, the material storage mechanism includes a feeding drive, a feeding pusher plate, and a feeding frame. The feeding frame is formed by two U-shaped groove plates symmetrically erected on the front edge of the workbench. A feeding pusher plate is provided on the outside of the feeding frame.

[0016] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the specific embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figures 1-5 The automatic feeding multi-dimensional processing device for electric guitar necks shown includes a frame assembly 1. The top of the frame assembly 1 is a worktable. A storage mechanism 5 is provided at the front edge of the worktable, and a gripping mechanism 6 is provided at the rear edge of the worktable corresponding to the storage mechanism 5. A clamping and feeding mechanism 4 is provided on the worktable between the storage mechanism 5 and the gripping mechanism 6, and the clamping and feeding mechanism 4 is parallel to the long axis of the worktable. A neck processing mechanism 3 perpendicular to its long axis is provided at both ends of the worktable. A drilling mechanism 7 is provided between the neck processing mechanism 3 and the gripping mechanism 6 at either end, and the drilling mechanism 7 is located at the rear edge of the worktable. A discharge guide groove 2 extending downward to the lower part of the frame assembly 1 is provided between the 5 and the clamping and feeding mechanism 4; wherein, the neck processing mechanism 3 includes a processing stand 3a, a processing slide 3b, a slide drive 3c, a processing drive 3d, and a cutting tool 3e. The processing stand 3a is set at both ends of the worktable. A processing slide 3b is set on each processing stand 3a via a guide rail. A slide drive 3c is set on the top of each processing stand 3a to connect to the processing slide 3b. The processing drive 3d is set on the processing slide 3b and is perpendicular to the long axis of the worktable. The cutting tool 3e is set on the processing drive 3d and is suspended directly above the clamping and feeding mechanism 4.

[0018] The clamping and feeding mechanism 4 includes a clamping slide 4a, a feeding drive 4c, a clamping drive 4d, and a clamping plate 4e.

[0022] The slide drive 3c is a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, the machining drive 3d is a motor, the machining drive 3d is located on the upper part of the slide drive 3c, and the tool 3e is located on the lower part of the slide drive 3c via a rotating shaft. The machining drive 3d and the tool 3e are connected by a chain or belt.

[0023] The slide drive 3c and the machining slide 3b are connected by a lead screw 8.

[0024] The angle between the unloading guide chute 2 and the horizontal line is an acute angle.

[0030] The working method of the present invention is as follows: 1. Material storage: The rough materials of the instrument neck are placed one by one into the feeding rack 5c of the material storage mechanism 5 and stacked. At this time, the feeding push plate 5b is located outside the feeding rack 5c, waiting for the material to be pushed.

[0031] 2. Pushing material: The feeding drive 5a pushes the material, and the feeding drive 5a drives the feeding push plate 5b to push the rough material of the guitar neck at the bottom of the feeding frame 5c out of the feeding frame 5c. Then the feeding drive 5a drives the feeding push plate 5b to reset and wait for the next pushing of material.

[0032] 3. Grabbing material: The grabbing lifting drive 6c drives the grabbing slide 6b to descend, and then the grabbing translation drive 6d pushes the robot gripper 6e forward horizontally to approach the rough guitar neck material pushed out by the storage mechanism 5. The robot gripper 6e then grabs the rough guitar neck material. The grabbing translation drive 6d drives the robot gripper 6e to retreat and reset to directly above the clamping slot 4b. The robot gripper 6e puts the grabbed guitar neck material into the clamping slot 4b. The grabbing slide 6b rises and resets. The clamping drive 4d drives the clamping plate 4e to clamp the rough guitar neck material. The feed drive 4c drives the clamping slide 4a to move horizontally to the left or right to below the guitar neck processing mechanism 3 to wait for processing.

[0033] 4. For the neck machining, slide drive 3c drives machining slide 3b to descend, so that tool 3e contacts the neck rough for sawing. During the machining process, feed drive 4c drives clamping slide 4a to move horizontally to the left or right a certain distance to adjust the position of the neck rough. After the sawing is completed, slide drive 3c drives machining slide 3b to rise and reset, machining drive 3d stops, and feed drive 4c drives clamping slide 4a to move horizontally to the left or right to the position of drilling mechanism 7.

[0034] 5. Drilling: The drilling frame drive 7a moves the drilling stand 7b towards the clamping slide 4a, so that the drilling drive 7f is above the clamping slide 4a. Then, the drilling lifting drive 7d moves the drilling slide 7c down, so that the drill bit contacts the rough material of the instrument handle for drilling. During the drilling process, the feed drive 4c moves the clamping slide 4a horizontally to the left or right by a certain distance to adjust the position of the rough material of the instrument handle. The drilling angle can be adjusted according to the angle of the hole by rotating the angle adjustment seat 7e. After the drilling is completed, the drilling drive 7f stops, the drilling slide 7c rises and resets, and the rough material of the instrument handle is the semi-finished instrument handle.

[0035] 6. Changing and unloading: The clamping drive 4d drives the clamping plate 4e to reset and release the processed instrument neck semi-finished product. The gripping lifting drive 6c drives the gripping slide 6b to descend, and the robot gripper 6e immediately grips the instrument neck semi-finished product. The gripping translation drive 6d pushes the robot gripper 6e forward horizontally to the top of the unloading guide 2. Then, the robot gripper 6e puts the instrument neck semi-finished product into the unloading guide 2, which is then transported to the receiving equipment for collection. Next, the gripping translation drive 6d continues to push the robot gripper 6e forward horizontally to the instrument neck rough material pushed out by the storage mechanism 5. Repeating steps 2 to 6 can achieve continuous processing of the instrument neck rough material.
