The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0032] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.
[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, the present application provides a mechanical hand cutting processing integrated system, which comprises: a mechanical arm 1, and a milling head switcher 2 is assembled at the working end of the mechanical arm 1. A cleaning device 3 is assembled outside the working end of the mechanical arm 1, and a processing table 4 is assembled at the corresponding position below the cleaning device 3.
[0035] The bottom end of the processing table 4 has a dust collecting structure, and the processing table 4 can follow the lifting, left-right, forward-backward movement according to the displacement range of the working end of the mechanical arm 1.
[0036] The cleaning device 3 comprises a fixer 31, and at least four sets of telescopic rods 33 are assembled outside the fixer 31. The telescopic rods 33 can be controlled to extend and retract individually, and the bottom end of the telescopic rod 33 is assembled with a corrugated cover 35.
[0037] The processing table 4 consists of two plates, inner and outer, assembled by a connecting rod 42. An opening structure is provided on the outer side of the connecting rod 42 for the discharge of dust and debris after washing, disinfection, and cutting.
[0038] This invention provides a robotic arm cutting processing device. During use, the externally mounted milling cutter head can be replaced via a milling head switcher 2. After replacing the corresponding tool, the telescopic rod 33 can be adjusted to a suitable length to support the engagement ring 34 according to the outer surface of the workpiece or the outer surface of the processing table 4. Thus, during the milling process, dust and debris generated will fall through the gaps on the upper surface of the fixed plate 41 and be collected and processed by the collection cover 45. This device is suitable for cutting and milling large metal and non-metal composite materials, as well as processing small parts. It effectively solves the problem of existing robotic arms relying solely on external barriers to prevent dust and debris from splashing during cutting, which is detrimental to equipment operation and affects worker health. It boasts high integration and adaptability.
[0039] Furthermore, the robotic arm 1 includes a base 11, a first arm 12 is mounted on the top of the base 11, a second arm 13 is mounted on the top of the first arm 12, a rotating arm 14 is mounted on the end of the second arm 13, and a working head 15 is mounted on the end of the rotating arm 14. A corrugated cover 15 is fitted onto the outer surface of the working head 15. The robotic arm 1 of the present invention is only one type of robotic arm in the prior art. The first arm 12 and the second arm 13 of the robotic arm can rotate and displace relative to each other, and the rotating arm 14 can drive the working head 15 to rotate in two axial directions, which can adapt to planar and non-planar processing. Moreover, the milling head switcher 2 can also be replaced with a force sensor, which uses a pressure sensor to sweep across the workpiece surface before processing to measure the workpiece surface in real time, and provides higher accuracy for subsequent processing work, with high versatility.

[0043] Further, the top end of the telescopic rod 33 is equipped with a connecting rod 32, and the inner side of the connecting rod 32 is welded with a fixer 31. The center of the fixer 31 is equipped on the outer surface of the working head 15, and the telescopic rod 33 is a precision control electric push rod structure. The displacement of four or more telescopic rod structures can drive the engagement ring 34 made of rubber material to present the effect of fitting with the non-planar workpiece, and then matched with the synchronous operation of the machining table 4 to realize the dust treatment effect when cutting and machining large non-planar composite material structures, such as aircraft shell parts made of glass steel material, metal aluminum aircraft skin, etc.
[0044] Further, the outer surface of the corrugated cover 35 is equipped with a cooling port 36, and the number of the cooling port 36 can be two sets. One set is used to blow air into the cutting position of the tool, and drive the dust caused by the cutting of non-metallic composite material to move to the inside of the collection cover 45 inside the machining table 4, and the other set is used to spray cutting oil for cooling to the tool, which is used for the cooling of the tool bit and the flushing of the debris when cutting metal composite material.
[0045] Further, the bottom end of the corrugated cover 35 is integrally formed with the engagement ring 34, and the bottom end of the telescopic rod 33 is equipped on the upper surface of the engagement ring 34.
[0046] Further, the machining table 4 includes a fixed plate 41, and a circular hole is formed at the center of the fixed plate 41, and the inner side of the circular hole is welded on the outer side of the connecting rod 42. The inner side of the connecting rod 42 is welded with a fixed table 43, which can be used for temporary fixing of the workpiece to be machined. The bottom end of the fixed plate 41 is equipped with a semicircular collection cover 45, and the collection cover 45 is connected to an external waste treatment device. The collection cover 45 is connected to an external negative pressure collector, and the waste is collected and treated by using the air pressure generated by the airflow.
[0047] Further, the edge of the circular hole and the fixed table 43 is provided with an inclined inclined angle 44, which is beneficial to the falling of liquid and solid waste and reduces the probability of blockage.
[0048] According to the above technical features, the working principle of the mechanical hand cutting machining equipment in the actual application scene is as follows:
[0049] In use, the externally provided milling head can be replaced by the milling head switcher 2. After replacing the corresponding tool, the telescopic rod 33 can be adjusted to the appropriate length to support the engaging ring 34 to fit the surface of the bow and arrow or the surface of the processing table 4, so that in the process of milling and cutting, the dust and debris generated will fall through the gap on the upper surface of the fixed plate 41 into the collection cover 45 for centralized processing, which can adapt to the cutting and milling of large metal and non-metal composite materials and can also adapt to the processing and milling of small parts.
