DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The specific embodiment of the present application will be described below in combination with the drawings.

[0028] AsFigures 1 to 6 As shown, the fully automatic roller grinding machine with a robotic arm of the present invention has a cabinet 1 and a robotic arm 2. A processing area 5 and a finished product area 6 are arranged around the robotic arm 2. Several stacked workstation trays 4 containing rollers 3 to be processed are placed in the processing area 5, and an empty workstation tray 4 is placed in the finished product area 6. An operating window for a feed channel 7 and a discharge channel 8 is provided on the cabinet 1 corresponding to the movement position of the robotic arm 2. The feed channel 7 and discharge channel 8 are arranged in parallel at intervals and installed on the cabinet 1 in the corresponding operating window. The feed channel 7 and discharge channel 8 interact with the robotic arm 2. The robotic arm 2 places the rollers 3 to be processed onto the feed channel 7. After the rollers 3 complete the grinding operation inside the cabinet 1, the robotic arm 2 removes the processed rollers 3 from the discharge channel 8 and removes them. The feeding channel 7 consists of two parallel, oppositely arranged single plates, forming an inclined roller track with a higher outer end and a lower inner end. The two single plates of the feeding channel 7 have a limiting hook at one end inside the cabinet 1, which is the feeding station. The discharging channel 8 consists of two parallel, oppositely arranged single plates, forming an inclined roller track with a lower outer end and a higher inner end. The two single plates of the discharging channel 8 have a limiting hook at one end outside the cabinet 1, which is the discharging station.

[0029] At the midpoint between one end of the feeding channel 7 and the other end of the discharging channel 8 (i.e., the midpoint between the feeding and discharging stations), a positioning block 10 and a swing arm 11 are provided. The positioning block 10 is fixedly mounted on an adjusting mounting base 12, which is located on a platform inside the cabinet 1. The rotation axis of the swing arm 11 is mounted on the adjusting mounting base 12 and is controlled by a rotary clamping device 14 to perform a swinging operation. After the swing arm 11 rotates and swings around its rotation axis, it reaches the position of the positioning block 10, i.e., the material picking station. The outer end of the swing arm 11 has a V-shaped or round notch as a clamping opening. A limiting clamp 13 is provided next to the clamping opening of the swing arm 11. The limiting clamp 13 movably seals the clamping opening and together clamps the roller 3. The limiting clamp 13 includes a limiting plate and a spring connected to the swing arm 11 and installed at the rear end of the limiting plate. Axle pins are provided on both sides of the limiting plate. The positioning block 10 has an arc-shaped groove. The pins on both sides of the limiting clamp 13 cooperate with the arc-shaped groove of the positioning block 10. When the swing arm 11 and the limiting clamp 13 swing down toward the positioning block 10 together, the pins of the limiting clamp 13 enter the arc-shaped groove of the positioning block 10 and are squeezed by the arc-shaped groove, causing the limiting clamp 13 to exit the clamping port of the swing arm 11 and release the clamped roller 3.

[0030] A workpiece transfer device 9 is arranged above the feeding station and the discharging station, and can move up and down and laterally, the lateral movement stroke is divided into two sections, the front section is from the feeding station to the taking station, and the rear section is from the taking station to the discharging station, and the two sections of stroke are alternately reciprocated. Two downward clamping jaws are arranged on the workpiece transfer device 9, and the two clamping jaws can clamp the leather roller 3 on the previous station and place it on the next station.

[0031] Opposite to the taking station, the swing arm 11 swings to the position of the roller 17, i.e. the sharpening station, and a sharpening device 15 is arranged beside the roller 17, the leather roller 3 clamped on the swing arm 11 cooperates with the roller 17, and the sharpening device 15 performs the sharpening operation on the leather roller 3 clamped on the swing arm 11. The roller 17 is controlled and operated by a roller rotating device 16. After the sharpening is completed, the swing arm 11 swings back to the taking station under the action of the rotary clamping device 14.

[0032] The feeding channel 7 and the discharging channel 8 are arranged at the same horizontal position of the cabinet 1 and are spaced apart by a certain distance. The workpiece transfer device 9 is provided with two clamping jaws, and the workpiece transfer device 9 can move up and down and laterally, and the clamping jaws can move in the clamping and releasing modes. The swing arm 11 is provided with a limiting clamp 13, when the swing arm 11 moves to the positioning block 10, the limiting clamp 13 is released, and when the swing arm 11 moves away from the limiting block 8, the limiting clamp 13 is clamped. The limiting clamp 13 is arranged on the swing arm 11 and can slide on the swing arm 11, and a spring is arranged between the limiting clamp 13 and the swing arm 11, and in the free state, the limiting clamp 13 just blocks the clamping opening on the swing arm 11. The swing arm 11 swings from left to right with the limiting clamp 13, when it reaches the positioning block 10, the shaft pin on the limiting clamp 13 enters the arc-shaped groove on the positioning block 10, and under the action of the arc-shaped groove, the limiting clamp 13 gradually moves to the left, and when it reaches the bottom of the arc-shaped groove on the positioning block 10, the limiting clamp 13 is completely opened, so that the leather roller 3 on the swing arm 11 can be easily taken and placed. Similarly, when the swing arm 11 swings from right to left, the shaft pin on the limiting clamp 13 gradually leaves the arc-shaped groove on the positioning block 10 and is closed under the action of the spring, and blocks the leather roller 3 on the swing arm 11, so that it will not fall during the swinging process.

[0033] During the work, several layers of work station plates 4 filled with leather rollers 3 to be processed are placed in the waiting processing area 5, and an empty work station plate 4 is placed in the finished product placement area 6.

[0034] The machine is started, the robot 2 runs from the starting position to above the work station 4 with the roller 3, picks up the roller 3 and runs to above the feeding chute 7, puts down the roller 3 and runs to above the discharging chute 8 to wait. The dropped roller 3 rolls down the feeding chute 7 under its own weight to the lower end of the feeding chute 7 and gives a signal. After receiving the signal, the work piece transfer device 9 picks up the roller 3, and because there is no roller 3 on the swing arm 11, the two clamps of the work piece transfer device 9 only pick up the roller 3 on the feeding chute 7, then go up, and move laterally. At this time, the clamp with the roller 3 moves above the swing arm 11, the other clamp is aligned with the discharging chute 8, the work piece transfer device goes down, the clamps are released, the roller 3 drops onto the swing arm 11 and gives a signal, the work piece transfer device goes up and moves laterally back to the starting position.

[0035] After receiving the signal, the swing arm 11 rotates along its axis to the roller 17 under the action of the rotary clamping device 14 and is pressed on the roller 17. When the swing arm 11 leaves the positioning block 10, the limiting clamp 13 clamps the roller 3 to prevent the roller 3 from falling during rotation. The roller 17 rotates under the action of the roller rotating device 16, and drives the roller 3 on the swing arm 11 to rotate. The grinding device 15 starts the grinding action.

[0036] When the work piece is ground, the swing arm 11 returns to the positioning block 10 under the action of the rotary clamping device 14 and opens the limiting clamp 13 under the action of the positioning block 10. The work piece transfer device 9 moves down to position, the two clamps pick up the roller 3 to be machined on the feeding chute 7 and the roller 3 that has been machined on the swing arm 11, respectively. The work piece transfer device 9 moves up and then moves laterally to position, and then moves down to position. The two clamps are released. In this way, the roller 3 to be machined is placed on the swing arm 11, and the roller 3 that has been machined is placed on the discharging chute 8. The work piece transfer device 9 returns to the starting position, and the swing arm 11 rotates to the roller 17 under the action of the swing arm rotating device 14 to perform the grinding action.

[0037] The roller 3 that has been machined on the discharging chute 8 rolls down to the lower end of the discharging chute 8 under its own weight and gives a signal. The robot 2 above the discharging chute 8 receives the signal, picks up the roller 3, and then places the machined roller 3 on the empty work station 4 of the finished product placement area 6. The robot 2 returns to the starting position to wait for the next cycle.

[0038] Meanwhile, when the roller 3 on the work station 4 of the work piece placement area 5 is taken away and machined, the work station 4 on the finished product placement area 6 is also full. The robot 2 moves the empty work station 4 on the work piece placement area 5 to above the work station 4 full of rollers 3 on the finished product placement area 6 to realize the disc changing operation.

[0039] The above description is an explanation of the present application, not a limitation of the present application, and the present application can be modified in any form without departing from the spirit of the present application.
