Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a quartz component processing technology, and more specifically, to an automatic fire polishing device for rod-shaped quartz components. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, quartz products often require flame polishing during processing. Flame polishing reduces the surface roughness of quartz products and improves their quality. Traditional flame polishing processes are mostly performed manually, resulting in low efficiency. The quality of flame polishing depends heavily on the worker's experience and skill. Novices often produce poor flame polishing results due to lack of experience and skill, negatively impacting the quality of the quartz products. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above shortcomings, the present invention provides an automatic fire polishing device for rod-shaped quartz parts, which can realize automatic fire polishing operation of rod-shaped quartz parts, improve work efficiency, and ensure the fire polishing effect.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic flame polishing device for rod-shaped quartz parts, comprising an end face fine firing table, a column fine firing table, a part picking robotic arm, and an end face fine firing robotic arm. A loading seat for loading rod-shaped quartz parts is installed on the end face fine firing table. A clamping assembly for holding both ends of the rod-shaped quartz parts and a flame gun for fine firing the outer wall of the rod-shaped quartz parts are installed on the column fine firing table. A gripper for grabbing the rod-shaped quartz parts is installed on the part picking robotic arm. A flame gun for fine firing the end face of the rod-shaped quartz parts grabbed by the gripper is installed on the end face fine firing robotic arm.

[0005] During the flame polishing operation of bar-shaped quartz parts, the bar-shaped quartz parts to be flame polished are first loaded onto the loading seat. The robotic arm picks up the bar-shaped quartz parts from the loading seat using grippers. The flame torch on the end-face finishing robotic arm is ignited and performs end-face finishing on the bar-shaped quartz parts in the grippers, completing the flame polishing operation at both ends of the bar-shaped quartz parts. Afterwards, the robotic arm loads the picked-up bar-shaped quartz parts onto the cylindrical finishing table. The clamping components on the cylindrical finishing table hold the ends of the bar-shaped quartz parts, and the flame torch on the cylindrical finishing table is ignited to finish the outer wall of the bar-shaped quartz parts. This completes the flame polishing operation of the bar-shaped quartz parts. The entire process is automated, which improves work efficiency and ensures the effectiveness of the flame polishing.

[0006] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes several left push rods, several right push rods corresponding to the left push rods, a left moving block, and a right moving block. The left push rods are all connected to the left moving blocks, and the right push rods are all connected to the right moving blocks. The left push rods and right push rods respectively press against the two ends of the rod-shaped quartz piece.

[0007] When the rod-shaped quartz part is clamped on the cylindrical precision firing table, the left and right moving blocks move towards each other, so that the left and right push rods respectively press against the two ends of the rod-shaped quartz part, thus completing the clamping of the rod-shaped quartz part, and the clamping is reliable.

[0008] Preferably, a turntable with a rotating mechanism is installed on the right moving block and the right push rod respectively, the right push rod is connected to the turntable, and a motor that drives the turntable to rotate is installed on the right moving block.

[0009] When rod-shaped quartz parts are subjected to fine firing of the outer wall on a cylindrical fine firing table, the motor drives the turntable to rotate, thereby rotating the rod-shaped quartz parts and making the fine firing of various positions on the outer wall of the rod-shaped quartz parts more uniform and consistent, thus improving the fire polishing effect.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the rod-shaped quartz component has a groove, and the end of the right push rod has a protrusion that matches the groove, with the protrusion inserted into the groove.

[0011] The protrusion and slot fit together to improve the reliability of clamping bar-shaped quartz parts, and at the same time, it facilitates the rotation of bar-shaped quartz parts when the right push rod rotates.

[0012] Preferably, a bracket is installed on the main firing table, and several pairs of rollers are installed on the bracket to support the rod-shaped quartz parts, with the rod-shaped quartz parts supported between the paired rollers.

[0013] The bracket and roller configuration improves the stability of the rod-shaped quartz support.

[0014] Preferably, a flame-throwing piston cylinder is installed on the column-shaped precision firing platform, a support is connected to the telescopic rod of the flame-throwing piston cylinder, and the flame gun is connected to the support.

[0015] The extension and retraction of the flame-breathing piston cylinder drives the flame-breathing gun to move, ensuring that precision firing can be achieved at all positions along the length of the outer wall of the rod-shaped quartz component.

[0016] Preferably, the feeding base is provided with several sets of support columns for supporting rod-shaped quartz parts. The upper end of the support column is provided with a support groove adapted to the rod-shaped quartz parts. One end of the rod-shaped quartz parts is provided with a slot. The side wall of the feeding base is provided with several inserts adapted to the slot. The feeding base is provided with a positioning sensor near the inserts for detecting whether the rod-shaped quartz parts are loaded in place.

[0017] When the bar-shaped quartz part is loaded onto the loading seat, the slot is aligned with the insert on the loading seat and inserted. The bar-shaped quartz part is supported in the support groove on the support column. The position sensor is used to detect whether a bar-shaped quartz part is loaded at its corresponding position and transmits the signal to the picking robot arm. The picking robot arm picks up the bar-shaped quartz part at the corresponding position on the loading seat according to the received information.

[0018] Preferably, a positioning plate is installed on the column firing table. The positioning plate has several positioning holes that correspond one-to-one with the right push rod. A guide post that moves back and forth is installed in the positioning hole. The guide post is connected to a push block. A return spring is installed between the push block and the positioning plate. The push block has an inclined push surface. The rod-shaped quartz piece is loaded onto the column firing table. The left push rod pushes the rod-shaped quartz piece to the right. The right end of the rod-shaped quartz piece is inserted into the positioning hole. The middle part of the groove at the right end of the rod-shaped quartz piece is together with the guide post. Then, the right push rod moves to the left. The right push rod abuts against the push surface and drives the push block to move, thereby moving the guide post forward. The guide post moves in the groove, driving the rod-shaped quartz piece to be corrected so that the length direction of the groove is set back and forth. The length direction of the groove is parallel to the length direction of the protrusion at the end of the right push rod. The right push rod continues to move to the left and inserts into the positioning hole. The protrusion on the right push rod is adapted to be inserted into the groove. Then, both the left and right push rods move to the left, pushing the rod-shaped quartz piece away from the positioning plate to the left.

[0019] This structural design allows for automatic alignment of the bar-shaped quartz component before it is clamped between the left and right push rods, ensuring precise alignment of the slot and the convex strip. When the right push rod reaches the end face of the bar-shaped quartz component, the convex strip is precisely inserted into the slot.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The automatic fire polishing device for rod-shaped quartz parts can realize the automatic fire polishing operation of rod-shaped quartz parts, improve the working efficiency, and ensure the fire polishing effect; (2) The rod-shaped quartz parts can be automatically corrected before being clamped between the left and right push rods, ensuring that the groove and the convex strip are accurately aligned. When the right push rod hits the end face of the rod-shaped quartz parts, the convex strip is just inserted into the groove. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0028] Example 1: An automatic fire polishing device for rod-shaped quartz parts (see attached) Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 The device includes an end-face finishing table 1, a cylindrical finishing table 2, a part-retrieving robotic arm 3, and an end-face finishing robotic arm 4. The end-face finishing table and the cylindrical finishing table are arranged adjacent to each other. A loading seat 6 for loading rod-shaped quartz parts 5 is installed on the end-face finishing table. Clamping components for holding both ends of the rod-shaped quartz parts and a flame gun 7 for finishing the outer wall of the rod-shaped quartz parts are installed on the cylindrical finishing table. A gripper 8 for grasping the rod-shaped quartz parts is installed on the part-retrieving robotic arm. A flame gun 9 for finishing the end face of the rod-shaped quartz parts grasped by the gripper is installed on the end-face finishing robotic arm. The part-retrieving robotic arm and the end-face finishing robotic arm are applications of existing technology, and their specific structures will not be described in this application. Both the part-retrieving robotic arm and the end-face finishing robotic arm are mounted on the end-face finishing table.

[0029] The loading base is provided with several sets of support columns 10 for supporting rod-shaped quartz parts. In this embodiment, each set is provided with two support columns. The upper end of the support column is provided with a support groove 11 that is adapted to the rod-shaped quartz parts. One end of the rod-shaped quartz parts is provided with a slot 12. The side wall of the loading base is provided with several inserts 13 that are adapted to the slots. The loading base is provided with a position sensor 14 near the inserts for detecting whether the rod-shaped quartz parts are loaded in place.

[0030] The clamping assembly includes several left push rods 15, several right push rods 16 corresponding to the left push rods, a left moving block 17, and a right moving block 18. All left push rods are connected to the left moving blocks, and all right push rods are connected to the right moving blocks. The left and right push rods respectively abut against both ends of the rod-shaped quartz piece. The left moving block connects to the telescopic rod of the left piston cylinder, and the right moving block connects to the telescopic rod of the right piston cylinder. Both the left piston cylinder 19 and the right piston cylinder 20 are securely mounted on the cylindrical precision firing table. A rotating turntable 21 is mounted on the right moving block, corresponding to each right push rod. The right push rod is connected to the turntable, and a motor 22 driving the turntable is mounted on the right moving block. A drive pulley 23 is connected to the motor output shaft, and a driven pulley 24 is mounted on the turntable. A transmission belt 25 connects the driven pulley and the drive pulley. One end of the rod-shaped quartz piece has a slot, and the end of the right push rod has a protrusion 26 adapted to the slot, which is inserted into the slot. A bracket 27 is installed on the main firing platform, and several pairs of rollers 28 are installed on the bracket to support rod-shaped quartz parts. The rod-shaped quartz parts are supported between the paired rollers. A firing tank 29 is provided on the main firing platform, and the rod-shaped quartz parts are placed in the firing tank for firing of the outer wall. A flame-throwing piston cylinder 30 is installed on the column firing platform, and a support 31 is connected to the telescopic rod of the flame-throwing piston cylinder. A flame gun is connected to the support, and a flame gun is set for each left push rod.

[0031] During the flame polishing operation of bar-shaped quartz parts, the bar-shaped quartz parts to be flame polished are first loaded onto the loading seat. The robotic arm picks up the bar-shaped quartz parts from the loading seat using grippers. The flame torch on the end-face finishing robotic arm is ignited and performs end-face finishing on the bar-shaped quartz parts in the grippers, completing the flame polishing operation at both ends of the bar-shaped quartz parts. Afterwards, the robotic arm loads the picked-up bar-shaped quartz parts onto the cylindrical finishing table. The clamping components on the cylindrical finishing table hold the ends of the bar-shaped quartz parts, and the flame torch on the cylindrical finishing table is ignited to finish the outer wall of the bar-shaped quartz parts. This completes the flame polishing operation of the bar-shaped quartz parts. The entire process is automated, which improves work efficiency and ensures the effectiveness of the flame polishing.

[0032] Example 2: An automatic fire polishing device for rod-shaped quartz parts (see attached) Figure 5Its structure is similar to that of Embodiment 1, the main difference being that in this embodiment, a positioning plate 32 is installed on the precision firing table of the column. The positioning plate is located near the right top rod. The positioning plate has several positioning holes 33 that correspond one-to-one with the right top rod. The positioning holes are adapted to the rod-shaped quartz parts. The positioning holes pass through both ends of the positioning plate. A guide post 34 that moves back and forth is installed in the positioning hole. The axis of the guide post coincides with the axis of the positioning hole. The outer diameter of the guide post matches the width of the slot. The guide post is connected to a push block 35. A reset spring 36 is installed between the push block and the positioning plate. The push block has an inclined push surface 37. The two ends of the positioning hole have guide chamfers 38. The inner wall of the positioning hole has a relief groove 39 for accommodating the guide post. The push block has a connecting rod 40 and a sliding part 41. The connecting rod is connected to the guide post and is arranged radially along the positioning hole. The positioning plate and the sliding part have corresponding grooves 42. The sliding part is slidably installed in the groove. The sliding part has a spring mounting hole. One end of the reset spring is installed in the spring mounting hole, and the other end of the reset spring abuts against the inner wall of the groove. The protrusions on the right push rod are positioned front and back. The position of the protrusions is controlled by adjusting the rotation angle of the motor, ensuring that the protrusions are in their forward and backward positions after each reset of the right push rod. The slots on the rod-shaped quartz component are arranged radially, with the centerline of the slots located on the diameter of the end face of the rod-shaped quartz component. Therefore, regardless of the angle of the rod-shaped quartz component, the slots always pass through the center of the end face of the rod-shaped quartz component, thus ensuring that the guide post can be inserted into the slot.

[0033] A rod-shaped quartz component is loaded onto a cylindrical precision firing platform. The left push rod pushes the rod-shaped quartz component to the right, inserting its right end into the positioning hole. The middle of the groove at the right end of the rod-shaped quartz component is aligned with the guide post. Then, the right push rod moves to the left, abutting against the pushing surface and driving the pushing block to move, thereby moving the guide post forward. The guide post moves in the groove, driving the rod-shaped quartz component to correct its alignment, aligning the groove's length direction with the length direction of the protrusion at the end of the right push rod. The right push rod continues to move to the left and inserts into the positioning hole, with the protrusion on the right push rod fitting into the groove. Afterward, both the left and right push rods move to the left, pushing the rod-shaped quartz component away from the positioning plate. This structural design allows for automatic alignment of the rod-shaped quartz component before it is clamped between the left and right push rods, ensuring precise alignment of the groove and the protrusion. When the right push rod reaches the end face of the rod-shaped quartz component, the protrusion is precisely inserted into the groove. Other structures are the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0034] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Other variations and modifications may be made without departing from the technical solutions described in the claims.
