[0034] The present application embodiment discloses a safe and environmentally friendly intelligent automatic knife sharpener. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A safe and environmentally friendly intelligent automatic knife sharpener includes a work box 1, a rotating drive device is provided on the top of the work box 1, and the rotating drive device is a motor 11. A bevel gear-shaped grinder 12 is installed at the output end of the motor 11. The material of the grinder 12 is alloy steel such as tungsten steel. The grinding of tungsten steel and the high-speed rotation of the motor 11 can reduce the generation of burrs on the tool. A housing 2 is provided on the top of the work box 1 to cover the motor 11 and the grinder 12. An installation notch 21 is opened on the housing 2. A rotating door 22 covering the installation notch 21 is hinged on the installation notch 21, and a handle 23 is installed on the rotating door 22.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 A mobile driving device is provided on the top of the working box 1 on one side of the housing 2. The mobile driving device is an electric cylinder 3. A mounting block 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the output end of the electric cylinder 3. A notch 311 for the tool to pass through is opened on the mounting block 31 toward the housing 2. Figure 3 A moving groove 24 is provided on the side wall of the housing 2 near the electric cylinder 3, and the moving groove 24 is used for the tool to move horizontally.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 When in use, it is necessary to first start the motor 11 to rotate the grinder 12, and then pass the tool through the notch 311 and the movable groove 24 into the housing 2 in sequence. After the tool is adjusted to a suitable cutting position, the electric cylinder 3 is started to move the mounting block 31 horizontally, thereby driving the tool to move horizontally, so that the tool collides with the grinder 12, and the tool is ground by the grinder 12.

[0037] Reference Figure 3An upper clamping cylinder 312 is provided on the upper end surface of the mounting block 31, and a first guide port 32 is opened on the moving path of the output end of the upper clamping cylinder 312 of the mounting block 31, the first guide port 32 is communicated with the notch 311, and the output end of the upper clamping cylinder 312 is fixedly installed with an upper clamping plate 3121 through the first guide port 32; a side clamping cylinder 313 is provided on the side wall of the mounting block 31, and a second guide port 33 is opened on the moving path of the output end of the side clamping cylinder 313 of the mounting block 31, the second guide port 33 is also communicated with the notch 311, and the output end of the side clamping cylinder 313 is fixedly installed with a side clamping plate 3131 through the second guide port 33. Usually, the side clamping cylinder 313 is started first to clamp the tool inserted in the notch 311 laterally, and then the upper clamping cylinder 312 is started to clamp the tool vertically. The movement sequence of the side clamping cylinder 313 and the upper clamping cylinder 312 is realized through PLC control.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 The working box 1 is provided with a screw nut transmission mechanism 4, and a baffle 41 is vertically provided on the output end of the screw nut transmission mechanism 4. Figure 3 The baffle plate 41 is located between the mold 12 and the motor 11, and the top of the baffle plate 41 is set as an inclined surface. The design of the inclined surface can make the metal chips falling on the top of the baffle plate 41 slide to the top of the working box 1. The output end of the screw nut transmission mechanism 4 can be adjusted by screwing the input end of the screw nut transmission mechanism 4, so that the position of the baffle plate 41 can be adjusted according to actual processing needs.

[0039] Refer to 2 and Figure 3 First, the tool is passed through the notch 311 and the movable groove 24 in sequence to reach the shell 2, and then the tool will be limited by the baffle 41, and then the side clamping cylinder 313 is started according to the PLC program so that the output end of the side clamping cylinder 313 drives the side clamping plate 3131 to clamp the tool horizontally. At the same time, the clamping process also has a calibration function, and then the upper clamping cylinder 312 is started so that the output end of the upper clamping cylinder 312 moves downward, thereby driving the upper clamping plate 3121 to clamp the tool in the vertical direction. At this time, the clamping work of the tool is completed.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 The mounting block 31 is provided with a first sensor, model DMSG-N020, for detecting whether the tool is clamped by the output end of the upper clamping cylinder 312. The first sensor helps control that when the output end of the upper clamping cylinder 312 does not move to the right position, the electric cylinder 3 stops operating. Figure 1 The revolving door 22 is provided with a second sensor for detecting whether the revolving door 22 is opened, and the model is CJY12E-04NA. The second sensor helps to control, when the revolving door 22 is not completely closed, so that the motor 11 stops working.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 A guide groove 25 is formed on the side wall of the housing 2 near the cover plate 315. A connector 314 is installed on the output end of the electric cylinder 3. One end of the connector 314 passes through the guide groove 25 and is connected to the cover plate 315. The size of the guide groove 25 is adapted to the moving path of the connector 314. During the movement of the tool, the cover plate 315 will cover both the guide groove 25 and the moving groove 24. The cover plate 315 is provided with an installation opening 3151 for the tool to pass through. An observation port 26 is formed on the side wall of the housing 2 near the mobile drive device. Figure 1 A transparent plate 27 is provided on the observation port 26. The material of the transparent plate 27 is, for example, plastic. The observation port 26 is used to observe the grinding state of the tool.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 The working box 1 is provided with a first air jet pipe 13 facing the grinding tool 12, and the first air jet pipe 13 is used to spray air to the grinding tool 12 to remove the metal chips remaining on the grinding tool 12 after grinding; because the grinding tool 12 is close to the baffle plate 41, some metal chips will fall on the baffle plate 41, so the working box 1 is also provided with a second air jet pipe 14 facing the baffle plate 41, and the second air jet pipe 14 is used to spray air to the baffle plate 41 to remove the metal chips on the baffle plate 41; the top of the working box 1 is installed with a support 15 by screws, combined with Figure 1 The support 15 is located in the shell 2 near one end of the electric cylinder 3, and an air jet pipe 151 is installed on the support 15. The air jet pipe 151 is arranged horizontally, and a plurality of air jet holes 1511 are opened on the end of the air jet pipe 151 away from the mobile driving device; a funnel-shaped chip removal channel 16 is also provided on the working box 1 in the air jet direction of the air jet hole 1511, and a chip removal pipe 17 connected to the chip removal channel 16 is provided at the central position of the chip removal channel 16, and a dust collecting part 18 connected to the chip removal pipe 17 is provided at the bottom of the chip removal pipe 17.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 After the grinding of the tool is completed, the first jet pipe 13 will start to spray jets toward the grinding tool 12 to blow off the metal chips, and the second jet pipe 14 will also start to blow off the metal chips on the tool at the same time, and then several jet holes 1511 will start to spray jets, and the blown-off metal chips and the metal chips that originally fell on the top of the working box 1 after grinding will be together under the action of the airflow ejected from the jet holes 1511 to reach the funnel-shaped chip removal channel 16, and fall into the chip removal pipe 17 under the action of gravity, and finally enter the dust collector 18 to be collected.

[0044] The implementation principle of a safe and environmentally friendly intelligent automatic knife sharpener in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: before processing, it is necessary to close the rotating door 22 and then start the rotating drive device to rotate the mold 12, and then drive the output end of the mobile drive device to reset. At this time, the tool is passed through the notch 311 and the movable groove 24 in sequence into the shell 2. The tool entering the shell 2 will be against the baffle 41 and be limited. Then, the upper clamping cylinder 312 and the side clamping cylinder 313 are started to clamp the tool. After the tool is clamped, the mobile drive device is started again, so that the output end of the mobile drive device moves laterally with the mounting block 31, thereby driving the tool located in the mounting block 31 to move laterally until it collides with the mold 12 to gradually complete the grinding.

[0045] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
