The characteristics of sensors include miniaturization, digitization, intelligence, multi-functionality, systematization, and networking. It is the primary link for realizing automatic detection and automatic control. The existence and development of sensors endow objects with senses such as touch, taste, and smell, making objects gradually come alive. Usually, according to its basic sensing function, it is divided into ten categories such as thermal sensitive elements, photosensitive elements, gas sensitive elements, force sensitive elements, magnetic sensitive elements, humidity sensitive elements, sound sensitive elements, radiation sensitive elements, color sensitive elements, and taste sensitive elements. Sensors are widely used in various fields of social development and human life, such as industrial automation, agricultural modernization, space technology, military engineering, robotics, resource development, ocean exploration, environmental monitoring, security, medical diagnosis, transportation, household appliances, etc.

[0003] The outer shell of the sensor has different external structures according to its different functional requirements and working fields. The existing shell processing is all carried out by processing in sequence and using different equipment. Workers process the sensor housing one by one with cutting tools. For processing two cut edges, the parts need to be clamped twice by workers, and each machine tool requires the operator to repeatedly load and unload materials, resulting in too low work efficiency, great labor intensity of the operator, and high labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an automatic processing device for a sensor housing in view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a sensor housing automatic processing equipment, comprising a frame, a workpiece screening assembly arranged on one side of the frame, a workpiece clamping drive assembly arranged on the frame, a workpiece conveying assembly arranged between the workpiece screening assembly and the workpiece clamping drive assembly, a tool processing assembly for processing the workpiece in the workpiece clamping drive assembly, and a workpiece unloading assembly arranged on one side of the workpiece clamping drive assembly, characterized in that: a workpiece transfer mechanism for transferring the workpiece on the workpiece conveying assembly to the workpiece clamping drive assembly is provided above the workpiece clamping drive assembly, and the tool processing assembly includes a plurality of The tool arrangement plate of the tool and the tool driving mechanism that drives the tool to approach or move away from the workpiece clamping driving assembly, the workpiece transfer mechanism includes a workpiece flipping assembly and a workpiece loading assembly, the workpiece screening assembly is used to vertically screen and discharge the workpieces one by one, and transport them to the workpiece flipping assembly through the workpiece conveying assembly, the workpiece flipping assembly is used to flip the workpiece from a vertical state to a horizontal state, and then send it to the workpiece clamping driving assembly through the workpiece loading assembly for it to clamp the workpiece and rotate it, the tool driving mechanism is used to drive the tool and the workpiece to collide for processing, and the workpiece unloading assembly is used to receive the processed workpiece on the workpiece clamping driving assembly and send it out of the frame.

[0006] By adopting the above technical scheme, in order to avoid the situation where the weight of the two ends of the processed workpiece is inconsistent, the workpiece is top-heavy and one end is tilted during the transportation process, resulting in the workpiece being unable to be normally transported or clamped for transportation, the sensor housing blank used in the workpiece of the present invention needs to be placed vertically, and the workpiece screening assembly is first used to send the vertical workpieces to the workpiece flipping assembly through the workpiece conveying assembly, and then the workpiece is flipped from the vertical state to the horizontal state through the workpiece flipping assembly, and then the workpiece is directly transferred to the workpiece clamping drive assembly for processing through the workpiece loading assembly, and then the workpiece unloading assembly is used to receive the processed workpiece on the workpiece clamping drive assembly and send it out of the rack. During the whole process, due to the workpiece conveying The process is in a vertical state, which is convenient for stable clamping and locking the distance between the workpieces, shortening the processing interval of the workpieces, and then the workpiece is flipped by the workpiece flipping assembly and directly transferred horizontally to the workpiece clamping drive assembly for processing, so that the workpiece can provide sufficient processing surface for subsequent cutting, hole turning and other processes. Then the tool driving mechanism drives the tool on the tool row plate to process the workpiece. The several tools on the tool row plate can facilitate the replacement of different processing tools through the tool driving mechanism without stopping the machine, thereby improving its processing efficiency and process diversification. Finally, the processed workpieces are collected uniformly through the workpiece unloading assembly to realize fully automated loading, transfer, processing and unloading, thereby improving the efficiency of the sensor housing and reducing labor costs.

[0007] The above-mentioned automatic processing equipment for a sensor housing can be further configured as follows: The workpiece flipping assembly includes a flipping channel, a flipping driving source provided at one end of the flipping channel, and a horizontal pushing cylinder provided at the other end of the flipping driving source. The output end of the flipping driving source is provided with a flipping tooling for converting the workpiece from a vertical state to a horizontal state. One end of the flipping channel facing the horizontal pushing cylinder is communicated with the workpiece conveying assembly, and the horizontal pushing cylinder pushes the workpiece entering the flipping channel into the flipping tooling. The workpiece loading assembly includes a loading beam provided on one side of the flipping tooling, a feeding hole opened on the side of the loading beam corresponding to the flipping tooling, a clamping and transferring assembly provided on the loading beam for transferring the workpiece from the feeding hole to the workpiece clamping driving assembly, and a pushing cylinder provided on the side of the flipping tooling away from the feeding hole for pushing the flipped workpiece into the feeding hole. The workpiece processing end of the workpiece clamping driving assembly is on the same axis as the feeding hole.

[0008] Adopting the above technical solution, the workpiece screening assembly is used to screen out the workpieces placed vertically one by one, so that the port surface of the workpiece can contact the workpiece conveying assembly, avoiding one end from tilting. Then, the workpiece conveying assembly sends the workpiece into the flipping channel. The flipping channel uses the horizontal pushing cylinder to push the workpiece into the flipping tooling, and after being flipped by the flipping driving source, it is converted from a vertical state to a horizontal state, which is convenient for passing through the feeding hole and for being clamped by the subsequent clamping and transferring assembly and the workpiece clamping driving assembly. At the same time, since the workpiece processing end of the workpiece clamping driving assembly is on the same axis as the feeding hole, when the clamping and transferring assembly transfers the workpiece to the workpiece clamping driving assembly, it has one less planar movement trajectory, that is, it does not need to slide left and right, and only needs to move up and down and back and forth to achieve the transfer, improving the clamping efficiency of the workpiece, making its processing efficiency faster and more stable, saving equipment costs, realizing automatic clamping, eliminating manual feeding, and reducing labor costs.

[0009] The above-mentioned automatic processing equipment for a sensor housing can be further configured as follows: The flipping tooling is a U-shaped flipping plate, the flipping driving source is a flipping cylinder, the output end of the flipping cylinder is connected to the U-shaped flipping plate and drives it to flip 90°, and then aligns the two ends of the U-shaped flipping plate with the pushing cylinder and the feeding hole respectively. The output end of the pushing cylinder is provided with a pushing rod, and the pushing cylinder drives the pushing rod to pass through the U-shaped flipping plate and push the workpiece to the feeding hole. Horizontal pushing guards are provided on both sides of the flipping channel. The output end of the horizontal pushing cylinder is provided with a horizontal pushing rod, and the horizontal pushing rod is used to push the workpiece in the flipping channel into the U-shaped flipping plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, the U-shaped flip plate has a U-shaped groove, so that after the workpiece enters, its outer wall can be slightly clamped by the U-shaped groove, so that the workpiece will not loosen when it is flipped. At the same time, the two ends of the groove are a through structure, so that the pushing cylinder can directly pass through the U-shaped flip plate through the pushing rod and push the workpiece to the feeding hole for clamping and transfer by the other end of the loading beam. By setting the horizontal pushing guard plate, the flipping channel formed by it can stably push the workpiece into the U-shaped flip plate through the horizontal pushing rod to avoid falling or tipping.

[0011] The above-mentioned automatic processing equipment for sensor housings can be further configured as follows: the clamping and transferring assembly includes a lifting cylinder arranged on a loading beam, a front feeding plate arranged at the output end of the lifting cylinder, a loading cylinder arranged on the front feeding plate, and a workpiece transferring clamp arranged at the output end of the loading cylinder; the workpiece transferring clamp is lifted up and down along the loading beam by the lifting cylinder, and moves forward and backward along the front feeding plate to approach or move away from the feeding hole by the feeding cylinder.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the workpiece transfer clamp is preferably a pneumatic clamp, and the workpiece transfer clamp can be moved forward and backward and up and down by a loading cylinder and a lifting cylinder, so as to conveniently transfer the workpiece and avoid workpiece processing and unloading.

[0013] The above-mentioned automatic processing equipment for sensor housing can be further configured as follows: the workpiece screening assembly is a vibrating screening plate, the workpiece conveying assembly includes a workpiece conveyor belt and feeding guard plates arranged on both sides of the workpiece conveyor belt, the feeding guard plates and the workpiece conveyor belt constitute a feeding channel for vertically conveying the screened workpieces one by one, one end of the feeding channel is connected to the vibrating screening plate, and the other end is connected to the flipping channel.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the feeding guard plate, the workpieces after screening can pass through the feeding channel vertically one by one and enter the turning channel, and the vibrating screening plate can stably screen out the workpieces in a vertical state, so that one end of the workpiece can be prevented from tilting and making it difficult to clamp.

[0015] The above-mentioned automatic processing equipment for sensor housing can be further configured as follows: the workpiece clamping drive assembly includes a spindle box and a spindle arranged in the spindle box, the spindle is provided with a tube pulling and pushing assembly for clamping or loosening the workpiece and a driving assembly that drives the spindle to drive the workpiece to rotate, the tube pulling and pushing assembly includes a hollow tube pulling groove opened in the spindle, a collet and a chuck arranged at the end of the spindle, a tube pulling cylinder arranged on one side of the spindle box and a tube pulling assembly arranged at the output end of the tube pulling cylinder, the tube pulling is inserted into the hollow tube pulling groove and connected with the chuck, and is driven by the tube pulling cylinder to move the tube back and forth in the hollow tube pulling groove to move the chuck into or out of the collet to close or open the chuck, the collet is on the same axis as the feeding hole, and the driving assembly includes a spindle motor arranged on the frame, a spindle driven wheel arranged on the spindle, a motor driving wheel arranged at the output end of the spindle motor, and a flat belt or a synchronous belt wound between the spindle driven wheel and the motor driving wheel.

[0016] By adopting the above technical scheme, the workpiece processing end of the spindle is the loading and unloading end of the workpiece. This end clamps the workpiece through the tube pulling and lifting assembly and then contacts the tool through the driving assembly to process the workpiece. The collet is sleeved on one end of the spindle. A chuck is arranged in the hollow tube pulling groove of this end. The chuck can be elastically opened or the clamping part that is mechanically opened when moving forward is arranged in the chuck. The tube pulling and the other end of the chuck are abutted and rotatably connected thereto. The tube pulling cylinder drives the tube pulling to move back and forth in the hollow tube pulling groove to put the chuck into or out of the collet. When the clamping part of the chuck passes through the collet, its clamping part will open to supply the workpiece. After loading or opening, the processed workpiece is dropped onto the receiving slide, and then the tube drawing cylinder drives the tube drawing to move back and forth in the hollow tube drawing groove to put the chuck into the collet, clamp the workpiece and then rotate it for processing. The tube drawing is rotatably connected to the chuck, so that the tube drawing limits the forward and backward movement of the chuck, and enables the chuck to rotate freely with the spindle, thereby driving the workpiece to rotate and cut against the tool. The spindle motor drives the spindle driven wheel to rotate through a flat belt or a synchronous belt, and then links the workpiece to rotate and cooperate with the tool cutting, so that it has the characteristics of relatively stable transmission, no noise, buffering and vibration reduction during operation.

[0017] The above-mentioned automatic processing equipment for sensor housing can be further configured as follows: the workpiece unloading component includes a unloading hopper opened on the frame, a material receiving slide arranged below the corresponding collet of the spindle box, and a material receiving conveyor belt arranged at the end of the material receiving slide; one side of the spindle box is provided with a slide driving mechanism for driving the material receiving slide to approach or move away from the workpiece processing end; the slide driving mechanism includes a slide cylinder and a slide connecting plate arranged at the output end of the slide cylinder; the material receiving slide is connected to the slide connecting plate and moves back and forth driven by the slide cylinder; one end of the material receiving slide is arranged below the workpiece processing end, and the other end is inclined downward on the material receiving conveyor belt; the material receiving conveyor belt is used to deliver the workpiece into the unloading hopper.

[0018] With the above technical solution, the workpiece processing end of the main shaft is the loading and unloading end of the workpiece. This end clamps the workpiece through the pull tube and ejector assembly and then contacts the tool through the drive assembly to process the workpiece. Then, the workpiece is released by the pull tube and ejector assembly and falls into the receiving slide. Since one end of the receiving slide slopes downward, the processed workpiece can be transferred to one side of the headstock through the receiving slide, avoiding affecting subsequent processing. By setting the slide drive mechanism, the slide cylinder drives the receiving slide to move back and forth. When the workpiece is being loaded or processed, the receiving slide retracts to the side wall of the headstock to avoid interfering with the loading of the workpiece and the cutting of the tool. When unloading, the receiving slide is pushed to the unloading point to receive the workpiece and then the workpiece is sent into the unified collection and bagging through the receiving conveyor belt, realizing automatic unloading, improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0019] The above-mentioned automatic processing equipment for a sensor housing can be further set as follows: The receiving slide is provided with a profiling groove adapted to the outer wall of the collet. The receiving slide abuts against the outer wall of the collet through the profiling groove. The receiving slide is provided with a vent hole corresponding to the profiling groove.

[0020] With the above technical solution, by setting the profiling groove, when the workpiece is being polished, the receiving slide abuts against the outer wall of the collet, shortening the distance between the opening of the receiving slide and the blanking port of the collet, stably receiving the workpiece, avoiding too large a distance and the workpiece bouncing out of the receiving slide. By setting the vent hole, it is possible to prevent the workpiece from sticking inside the receiving slide, facilitating the blanking, and at the same time preventing the debris generated after processing from falling into the receiving slide and hindering the blanking, but directly passing through the vent hole.

[0021] The above-mentioned automatic processing equipment for a sensor housing can be further set as follows: The tool drive mechanism includes a tool bed, an X-axis support plate provided on the tool bed and connected to the tool block, an X-axis transmission component provided on the tool bed to drive the X-axis support plate to approach or move away from the workpiece clamping drive assembly, and a Y-axis transmission component provided on the X-axis support plate to drive the tool block to slide in the Y-axis direction.

[0022] With the above technical solution, the tool realizes position changes in the X-axis and Y-axis directions through the X-axis transmission component and the Y-axis transmission component, enabling convenient replacement of different tools and processing specifications according to different workpieces to be processed, realizing automatic and diversified processing.

[0023] The above-mentioned automatic processing equipment for a sensor housing can be further configured as follows: the X-axis drive assembly includes an X-axis motor disposed on the tool bed frame, an X-axis screw rod disposed at the output end of the X-axis motor, the X-axis carriage is in threaded connection with the X-axis screw rod, and the X-axis carriage is movably connected to the tool bed frame through a slide rail and slider structure; the Y-axis drive assembly includes a Y-axis motor disposed on the X-axis carriage, a Y-axis screw rod disposed at the output end of the Y-axis motor, the tool turret is in threaded connection with the Y-axis screw rod, and the tool turret is movably connected to the X-axis carriage through a slide rail and slider structure.

[0024] With the above technical solution, both the X-axis motor and the Y-axis motor drive the tool through the screw and nut transmission to achieve the position change in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, realizing fast and precise transmission.

[0035] Such as Figures 1-9As shown, a sensor housing automatic processing equipment includes a frame 1, a vibrating screening plate 2 arranged on one side of the frame 1, a workpiece clamping drive assembly 3 arranged on the frame 1, a workpiece conveyor belt 4 arranged between the vibrating screening plate 2 and the workpiece clamping drive assembly 3, a tool processing assembly 5 for processing the workpiece a in the workpiece clamping drive assembly 3, and a workpiece unloading assembly 6 arranged on one side of the workpiece clamping drive assembly 3, a workpiece transfer mechanism for transferring the workpiece a on the workpiece conveyor belt 4 to the workpiece clamping drive assembly 3 is provided above the workpiece clamping drive assembly 3, the tool processing assembly 5 includes a tool row plate 51 loaded with a plurality of tools (not loaded in the figure) and a tool driving mechanism for driving the tools to approach or move away from the workpiece clamping drive assembly 3, and the workpiece transfer mechanism includes a workpiece flipping assembly 7 and a workpiece loading assembly.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the worker first places the workpieces a to be processed in batches into the vibrating screening plate 2 to screen them into vertically standing workpieces 2. The purpose is to avoid inconsistent weights at both ends of the workpieces a during transportation. Figure 9 The workpiece a shown in the figure may include but is not limited to a type of workpiece a of the present clamping mechanism, which makes the workpiece a top-heavy and one end tilted during the conveying process, resulting in the situation that it cannot be normally conveyed or clamped for transportation. At the same time, the distance between the workpieces a is shortened, so that it can be fed quickly and the work efficiency is improved. The workpiece a after screening enters the workpiece conveyor belt 4, and feeding guard plates 41 are provided on both sides of the workpiece conveyor belt 4. The feeding guard plates 41 and the workpiece conveyor belt 4 constitute a feeding channel 42 for vertically arranging the screened workpieces a one by one and conveying them to the flip channel 71.

[0037] like Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, the workpiece flipping assembly 7 includes a flipping channel 71, a flipping cylinder 72 provided at one end of the flipping channel 71, and a horizontal pushing cylinder 73 provided at the other end of the flipping cylinder 72. The output end of the flipping cylinder 72 is provided with a U-shaped flipping plate 721 for converting the workpiece a from a vertical state to a horizontal state. Horizontal pushing guards 711 are provided on both sides of the flipping channel 71 to prevent the workpiece from falling. When the workpieces a enter the flipping channel 71 one by one, the horizontal pushing cylinder 73 drives the horizontal pushing rod 731 to push the workpiece a into the U-shaped notch 722 of the U-shaped flipping plate 721. The U-shaped notch 722 is adapted to the outer wall of the workpiece a, so that the outer wall of the workpiece is subject to a certain binding force after entering the U-shaped notch 722. The workpiece loading assembly includes a loading beam 8 provided on one side of the U-shaped flipping plate 721, a feeding hole 81 opened on the loading beam 8 corresponding to the flipping tooling side, a clamping and transferring assembly 9 provided on the loading beam 8 for transferring the workpiece a from the feeding hole 81 to the workpiece clamping and driving assembly 3, and a pushing cylinder 82 provided on the side of the U-shaped flipping plate 721 away from the feeding hole 81 for pushing the flipped workpiece into the feeding hole 81. The output end of the flipping cylinder 7 is connected to the U-shaped flipping plate 721 and drives it to flip 90°. After flipping, the two ends of the U-shaped flipping plate 721 are respectively aligned with the pushing cylinder 82 and the feeding hole 81. Due to the binding force of the U-shaped notch 722, the workpiece a can be accurately aligned with the feeding hole 81 after flipping. Then, the pushing cylinder 82 drives the pushing rod 821 to pass through the U-shaped flipping plate 721 and push the workpiece a to the feeding hole 81 for the clamping and transferring assembly 9 to transfer.

[0038] As Figure 6 shown in the figure, the clamping and transferring assembly 9 includes a lifting cylinder 91 provided on the loading beam 8, a front feeding plate 92 provided at the output end of the lifting cylinder 91, a feeding cylinder 93 provided on the front feeding plate 92, and a workpiece transferring clamp 94 provided at the output end of the feeding cylinder 93. The workpiece transferring clamp 94 moves up and down along the Z-axis of the loading beam 8 through the lifting cylinder 91, and moves back and forth along the X-axis of the front feeding plate 92 through the feeding cylinder 93, approaching or moving away from the feeding hole. The workpiece transferring clamp 94 is preferably a pneumatic clamp. When it is necessary to transfer the workpiece a, the feeding cylinder 93 and the lifting cylinder 91 drive the workpiece transferring clamp 94 to be adjusted through the Z-axis and the X-axis and placed at the feeding hole 81. Then, when the pushing cylinder 82 pushes the workpiece a to the feeding hole 81, it can cooperate to clamp the workpiece a and then lift it off the feeding hole 81 and transfer it to the workpiece processing end b of the workpiece clamping and driving assembly 3, realizing stable transfer of the workpiece a. Since the workpiece processing end b and the feeding hole 81 are on the same axis, the transfer of the workpiece a only requires movement in the Z-axis and the X-axis and does not require movement in the Y-axis direction, thereby greatly improving the transfer efficiency of the workpiece a.

[0039] As Figure 3 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown in the figure, the workpiece clamping and driving assembly 3 includes a spindle box 31 and a spindle 32 disposed within the spindle box 31. The spindle 32 is provided with a tube-pulling and ejecting component for clamping or releasing the workpiece and a driving component for driving the spindle 32 to rotate the workpiece. The tube-pulling and ejecting component includes a hollow tube-pulling groove 321 formed in the spindle 32, a collet 33 and a chuck 34 disposed at the end of the spindle 32, a tube-pulling cylinder 35 disposed on one side of the spindle box 31, and a tube 351 disposed at the output end of the tube-pulling cylinder 35. The tube 351 penetrates into the hollow tube-pulling groove 321 and is connected to the chuck 34, and the tube 351 is driven by the tube-pulling cylinder 35 to move back and forth in the hollow tube-pulling groove 321 to insert or withdraw the chuck 34 into or out of the collet 33 to close or open the chuck 34. The collet 33 is on the same axis as the feeding hole 81. The driving component includes a spindle motor 11 disposed on the frame 1, a spindle driven pulley 322 disposed on the spindle 32, a motor driving pulley 111 disposed at the output end of the spindle motor 11, and a synchronous belt (not assembled in the figure) wound around the spindle driven pulley 322 and the motor driving pulley 111. Since the end of the collet 33 is provided with an opening groove 331 that gradually expands outward, when the tube 351 pushes one end of the chuck 34 out of the collet 33, the chuck 34 at this end will open. Then, the workpiece transfer gripper 94 places the workpiece a. Then, the tube-pulling cylinder 35 retracts the tube 351 to close the chuck 34 and clamp the workpiece a, completing the clamping of the workpiece a at the workpiece processing end. At the same time, when the workpiece a is being processed, the workpiece transfer gripper 94 can avoid tool processing through the lifting cylinder 91 and the loading cylinder 93. The spindle motor 11 drives the spindle 32 to rotate through the synchronous belt structure. The tube 351 is rotatably connected to the chuck 34, so that the tube restricts the forward and backward movement of the chuck 34 and enables the chuck 34 to freely rotate with the spindle 32, thereby driving the workpiece a to rotate and engage with the tool for cutting.

[0040] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, the tool driving mechanism includes a tool bed frame 52, an X-axis support plate 53 disposed on the tool bed frame 52 and connected to the tool arranging plate 51, an X-axis transmission component disposed on the tool bed frame 52 to drive the X-axis support plate 53 to approach or move away from the workpiece clamping driving component 3, and a Y-axis transmission component disposed on the X-axis support plate 53 to drive the tool arranging plate 51 to slide along the Y-axis direction. The X-axis transmission component includes an X-axis motor 54 disposed on the tool bed frame 52 and an X-axis screw rod 55 disposed at the output end of the X-axis motor 54. The X-axis support plate 53 is threadedly connected to the X-axis screw rod 55, and the X-axis support plate 53 is movably connected to the tool bed frame 52 through a slide rail-slider structure 50. The Y-axis transmission component includes a Y-axis motor 56 disposed on the X-axis support plate 53 and a Y-axis screw rod 57 disposed at the output end of the Y-axis motor 56. The tool arranging plate 51 is threadedly connected to the Y-axis screw rod 57, and the tool arranging plate 51 is movably connected to the X-axis support plate 53 through a slide rail-slider structure 50. A variety of different types of tools are arranged horizontally on the tool arranging plate 51, enabling it to drive the tools to contact different surfaces of the workpiece through the Y-axis motor 56 for processing, and also directly driving different specifications of tools to perform different processing operations (such as cutting, drilling, threading, etc.) on the workpiece. By controlling the conveying power and the forward and reverse ratio of the Y-axis motor 56, intelligent processing can be conveniently achieved, improving the processing efficiency of the product. The X-axis motor 54 can adjust the contact depth between the tool and the workpiece a to adapt to different processing steps, and at the same time can avoid the workpiece transfer mechanism and the workpiece blanking component, facilitating loading and unloading, and also facilitating tool replacement.

[0041] As Figure 7As shown in the figure, the workpiece blanking assembly 6 includes a blanking hopper 12 opened on the frame 1, a material receiving slide 61 arranged below the collet 33 corresponding to the spindle box 31, and a material receiving conveyor belt 62 arranged at the end of the material receiving slide 61. A slide driving mechanism for driving the material receiving slide 61 to approach or move away from the workpiece processing end b is provided on one side of the spindle box 31. The slide driving mechanism includes a slide cylinder 63 and a slide connecting plate 64 arranged at the output end of the slide cylinder 63. The material receiving slide 61 is connected to the slide connecting plate 64 and moves back and forth with the drive of the slide cylinder 63. One end of the material receiving slide 61 is arranged below the workpiece processing end b, and the other end is inclined downward onto the material receiving conveyor belt 62. The material receiving conveyor belt 62 is used to send the workpiece a into the blanking hopper 12 for the same collection, packaging and processing. An profiling groove 611 adapted to the outer wall of the collet 33 is provided on the material receiving slide 61. The material receiving slide 61 abuts against the outer wall of the collet 33 through the profiling groove 611, shortening the distance between the opening of the material receiving slide 61 and the blanking port of the collet 33. A vent hole 612 is provided at the position corresponding to the profiling groove 611 on the stable material receiving slide 61 to prevent the workpiece from sticking in the material receiving slide and facilitate blanking. When the workpiece a is processed, the tool moves away from the collet 3 through the X-axis motor 54 and the Y-axis motor 56. The slide cylinder 63 drives the material receiving slide 61 forward to be directly below the front end of the collet 33. Then the pipe pulling cylinder 35 drives the pipe pulling 351 to move forward in the hollow pipe pulling groove 321 to push the chuck 34 out of the collet 33 to open the chuck 34. The workpiece 6 falls onto the material receiving slide 61 and enters the blanking hopper 12 through the material receiving conveyor belt 62 for the same collection and packing, completing the fully automatic feeding, processing and unloading, and improving the processing efficiency of the workpiece.
