Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive door lock cylinder processing technology, and in particular, it is a device for automatic processing of automotive door lock cylinders. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of automotive lock cylinders, the lock cylinder is made into a blank through a die-casting machine. Numerous burrs exist on the surface and inside of the blank, requiring removal. While manual deburring can easily remove burrs from the outside of the lock cylinder, it is difficult to remove burrs from the inside due to a lack of available tools. Therefore, manual deburring is challenging and inefficient. Currently, semi-automatic "manual finishing machines" exist to remove internal burrs, but these machines require manual handling of lock cylinders one by one, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, manual operation of the lock cylinders lacks precision in positioning, and prolonged working hours can negatively impact product quality.

[0003] To address this, our company analyzed the production and processing of automotive door lock cylinders and, after extensive research, designed an automated processing device for automotive door lock cylinders. When using this device, a large number of lock cylinders can be placed in a fixed container, and the equipment will automatically complete the operations of feeding, loading, positioning, processing, and unloading the lock cylinders.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. Using this invention, only manual feeding of the lock cylinder into the hopper is required. The feeding mechanism then sends the lock cylinder from the hopper to the lock cylinder separation block via a vibrator. The lock cylinder separation cylinder then pushes the lock cylinder directly above the rotating fixture. Simultaneously, the sliding cylinder moves forward, and the sliding cylinder is equipped with a lock cylinder limiting baffle. When both the lock cylinder separation cylinder and the sliding cylinder move to the top of the rotating fixture, the locking baffle presses down on the lock cylinder, and the clamping block extends to press the lock cylinder firmly, preventing it from shaking or being lifted by subsequent actions. A servo motor drives the rotating fixture to rotate, and the internal arc-shaped boss engages with the groove on the lower end face of the lock cylinder. Once engaged, the locking baffle and clamping block release, and the servo motor rotates the lock cylinder to a horizontal position. The left clamping mechanism moves downwards to above the lock cylinder, the left lock cylinder chuck clamps the lock cylinder, the up-down movement cylinder rises, the left-right movement cylinder pushes out to the right, the up-down movement cylinder pushes out downwards, the left lock cylinder chuck places the lock cylinder into the lock cylinder positioning base, the left pressure plate cylinder pushes out downwards, the left lock cylinder pressure plate presses down on the lock cylinder, fully pressing the lock cylinder into the lock cylinder positioning base and ensuring that during the process of the left lock cylinder chuck releasing and rising, the middle left lock cylinder insert will not pull the lock cylinder away from the lock cylinder positioning base. While the left clamping mechanism is clamping the lock cylinder, the right clamping mechanism clamps the processed lock cylinder and restores it to its original position. The left and right clamping mechanisms clamp, rise, move to the right, and move downward simultaneously. The left clamping mechanism places the lock cylinder into the lock cylinder positioning base, and the right clamping mechanism clamps the processed lock cylinder. The right pressure plate cylinder extends downward, and the right lock cylinder pressure plate presses down on the lock cylinder to ensure that the lock cylinder does not fall into the slide due to the right lock cylinder insert being stuck in the air. This cycle is repeated. The left clamping mechanism can continuously place the lock cylinder into the lock cylinder positioning base for processing by the finishing device, while the right clamping mechanism continuously removes the processed lock cylinder.

[0019] 2. When the lock core in the hopper is sent out through the straight vibration channel, the lock core that cannot be sent out smoothly can be pushed back into the hopper by the curved push plate.

[0020] 3. Since the direct vibrator cannot completely guarantee that the lock cylinder will move to the end of the direct vibration channel, it is not conducive to the continuous operation of the device. In order to solve this problem and ensure that the lock cylinder can continuously move to the end of the direct vibration channel and reach the lock cylinder separation block, this invention uses a spring-pulling cylinder to extend the spring into the direct vibration channel and uses a slider cylinder to drive the spring to move forward, which ensures that the lock cylinder in the direct vibration channel can be pulled to the end; the use of a flexible spring-pulling operation can ensure that the lock cylinder will not be damaged.

[0021] 4. The lock cylinder pressing limit mechanism and the lock cylinder clamping mechanism of the present invention can work together with the rotating horizontal mechanism to adjust the lock cylinder to a horizontal position, thereby achieving lock cylinder positioning, ensuring that the clamping mechanism can smoothly clamp the lock cylinder and the finishing device's insert knife can be inserted into the lock cylinder to complete the deburring operation inside the lock cylinder.

[0022] 5. The clamping mechanism of the present invention is provided with a lock cylinder pressure plate, which can ensure that the lock cylinder will not be pulled back by the insert plate and can be smoothly unloaded.

[0023] 6. The present invention has a reasonable structure and strong interchangeability. Different models of lock cylinders can be processed by simply adjusting the special parts (rotating clamp, base clamp, insert knife, etc.) that need to match the shape of the lock cylinder.

[0024] 7. Compared with the original semi-automatic equipment that manually assembles lock cylinders, the present invention realizes the batch automated production line processing of lock cylinders, which not only reduces the number of operators and saves labor costs, but also significantly improves production efficiency, which, according to calculations, can be increased by more than 30%. It also makes product replacement more convenient, as the operation of the previously used semi-automatic equipment was complicated and difficult to adjust when changing products.

[0025] 8. This invention not only improves the processing efficiency of lock cylinders and ensures the product quality of automated production lines, but also features high structural stability and easy installation and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0055] The finishing device includes a base clamp 74, on which a lock cylinder positioning base 73 is mounted. The base clamp 74 is connected to a base cylinder 75.

[0056] It also includes a slide 80 located next to the base clamp 74, and a turnover box 81 is provided at the outlet of the slide 80.

[0057] It also includes a touch screen control panel. The touch screen panel is set with the corresponding program control file for processing lock cylinders. The control of the above-mentioned motors and cylinders can be carried out using conventional methods. The program is written into the PLC, and the PLC can then process the lock cylinder according to the preset parameters based on the model of the lock cylinder.

[0058] Apply the above structure Figure 1-2 The image shows the car door lock cylinder to be processed.

[0059] The processing method is as follows: The equipment is turned on, and a large number of lock cylinders to be processed are manually poured into the hopper 3. The push plate cylinder 1 extends and retracts, driving the push plate 4 to extend and retract vertically. In conjunction with the step plate 5, the push plate 4 pushes the lock cylinders step by step to the top, where they slide into the vertical vibration channel 6. The baffle 9 blocks the lock cylinders to prevent them from falling out. During the process of the lock cylinders sliding into the vertical vibration channel 6, only lock cylinders facing upwards (small end down) can smoothly slide into the channel 6 and are then hung on the channel 6 by their larger end. Inverted or tilted lock cylinders cannot follow the correct trajectory into the vertical vibration channel 6. The vertical vibrator 7 operates, vibrating the lock cylinders forward. Lock cylinders that do not slide into the vertical vibration channel 6 according to the correct trajectory will be pushed back by the curved push plate 11 driven by the curved push plate cylinder 12 and fall back into the hopper 3. The linear vibrator 7 cannot guarantee that the lock cylinder will move to the end of the linear vibrating channel 6 (sometimes a certain distance will inevitably remain). To solve this problem, the lock cylinder can move to the end of the linear vibrating channel 6 and smoothly reach the lock cylinder separating block 17. During the operation of the linear vibrator 7, the pull spring 16 will extend into the linear vibrating channel 6 through the transverse notch as the pull spring cylinder 15 extends forward. The slider cylinder 12 drives the slider mounting block 14 to slide on the slider guide rail 13. The pull spring cylinder 15 drives the pull spring 16 to push the lock cylinder forward and push it onto the lock cylinder separating block 17, completing one feeding process. The pull spring 16 is flexible and will not damage the lock cylinder. The pull spring cylinder 15 retracts, pulling out the pull spring 16. The slider cylinder 12 also retracts and resets, allowing for the next movement of the lock cylinder. This process is repeated to continuously feed the lock cylinder.

[0060] Panasonic fiber optic sensor 19 detects whether there is a lock cylinder in lock cylinder separation block 17. If a lock cylinder is detected, lock cylinder separation cylinder 20 pushes forward, causing separation slider 23 to slide on separation guide rail 24 and move the lock cylinder to a position above rotating clamp 44.

[0061] The following operations, where the movement driven by the cylinder is guided by "tracks" and "sliders", will not be elaborated further.

[0062] When the slide cylinder 26 and the lock cylinder separation cylinder 20 operate simultaneously, the lock cylinder is pushed directly above the rotating clamp 44. The dovetail slide 30 is then pushed out by the slide cylinder 26, and the lock cylinder limiting baffle 33 moves directly above the lock cylinder. The pressing cylinder 32 is vented, and the lock cylinder limiting baffle 33 extends and presses down on the lock cylinder. Simultaneously, the clamping cylinder 34 extends, pushing the pressing block 39 to press the lock cylinder. This process, by moving up, down, left, and right, firmly presses and fixes the lock cylinder.

[0063] Since the position of the lock cylinder during processing is fixed and cannot be arbitrarily placed in the circumferential direction, and the lock cylinder cannot be guaranteed to maintain the correct position throughout its movement, a rotating horizontal mechanism is used to rotate the lock cylinder to the processing position. Specifically, the rotating clamp 44 rotates slowly under the operation of the servo motor 40, and moves upward under the drive of the lifting cylinder 41 to clamp the lock cylinder. By rotating and raising the rotating clamp 44, the connecting boss 441 inside is engaged in the lower end face of the lock cylinder, at which point the lock cylinder rotates to a horizontal position. The photoelectric sensor 47 detects the rotation position of the servo motor 40 in real time. According to the settings, when the servo motor 40 drives the lock cylinder to rotate to a horizontal position, it stops rotating precisely at the position of the groove 451. The principle of the lock cylinder rotating to a horizontal position is as follows: During the rotation of the lock cylinder, most of the time, the signal emitted by the transmitter of the photoelectric sensor 47 cannot be received by the receiver due to the obstruction of the lock cylinder. The servo motor 40 drives the lock cylinder to rotate continuously. Only when the lock cylinder rotates to the point where a specific notch and groove 451 on the lock cylinder are aligned (at which point the lock cylinder is horizontal), the signal emitted by the transmitter of the photoelectric sensor 47 passes through the notch and groove 451 of the lock cylinder, the receiver receives the signal, and the servo motor 40 stops.

[0064] The vertical movement cylinder 68 pushes downward, the left clamping mechanism moves downward to directly above the lock cylinder, the middle left lock cylinder insert 51 is inserted into the lock cylinder, the left clamping claw cylinder 48 drives the left lock cylinder clamping claw 49 to clamp the lock cylinder, the vertical movement cylinder 68 rises, then the left and right movement cylinder 69 pushes to the right, the vertical movement cylinder 68 pushes downward, the left clamping claw cylinder 48 drives the left lock cylinder clamping claw 49 to release, and the lock cylinder is placed into the lock cylinder positioning base 73. The left pressure plate cylinder 53 pushes downward, the left lock cylinder pressure plate 52 presses down on the lock cylinder, pressing the lock cylinder completely into the lock cylinder positioning base 73 and ensuring that during the process of the left lock cylinder clamping claw 49 releasing and rising, the middle left lock cylinder insert 51 will not pull the lock cylinder away from the lock cylinder positioning base 73, thus completing one loading cycle.

[0065] While the left clamping mechanism is clamping the next lock cylinder, the right clamping mechanism, operating synchronously above the lock cylinder positioning base 73, works on the same principle as the left clamping mechanism. The right clamping mechanism will clamp the previous lock cylinder that has already been processed in the lock cylinder positioning base 73. Therefore, the left and right clamping mechanisms simultaneously descend to clamp, rise, move to the right, and then move downward. The left clamping mechanism places the lock cylinder into the lock cylinder positioning base 73 for loading, while the right clamping mechanism clamps the processed lock cylinder and places it into the slide rail 80 for unloading. Similarly, when the right clamping mechanism unloads, the right pressure plate cylinder 60 extends downward, causing the right lock cylinder pressure plate 59 to press down, ensuring that the lock cylinder will not fall into the slide rail 80 because the right lock cylinder insert 58 is stuck in the air.

[0066] The left clamping mechanism places the lock cylinder into the lock cylinder positioning base 73 for processing. The lock cylinder positioning base 73 is installed in the middle of the base clamp 74. The base clamp 74 is retracted to the designated processing position by the base cylinder 75. The upper and lower cylinders 76 are connected to the upper and lower insert blades 78, which move downwards and insert into the lock cylinder. Then they retract, completing the processing. The left and right cylinders are connected to the left and right insert blades 79, which move to the left and insert into the lock cylinder. Then they retract, completing the deburring process inside the lock cylinder. The base cylinder 75 extends, and then the right clamping mechanism is waited for to clamp the processed lock cylinder and place it into the slide rail 80. The processed lock cylinder can be collected in the turnover box 81 through the slide rail 80.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances. Furthermore, there may be other modifications and variations in the implementation methods.
