[0051] As a common component in automotive parts, automotive pins require chamfering at their ends during production to remove burrs and facilitate assembly. Due to the small diameter and short length of pins and bushings, clamping and machining of pins are difficult, which seriously affects the production efficiency of automotive pins. Therefore, improving the production capacity of automotive pins is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0052] In view of this, the present invention proposes a processing device in which the feeding assembly and the stop part cooperate to realize continuous and rapid feeding of the pin shaft for turning, and the picking part moves the pin shaft between the two clamping parts. At this time, one of the clamping parts is moved closer to the other clamping part, so that the pin shaft can be clamped together. In this way, the clamping operation steps of the pin shaft are simplified, the clamping operation difficulty is reduced, and the processing efficiency is greatly improved. Figures 1 to 7 The image shows an embodiment of the processing apparatus provided by the present invention.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the processing device 100 proposed in this invention includes a base 1, a feeding structure 2, a clamping mechanism 3, a picking mechanism 4, and two cutting mechanisms 5. The feeding structure 2 includes a feeding assembly 21 and a stop portion 22 located above the base 1. The feeding assembly 21 forms a feeding channel that is inclined from front to back for placing a pin extending in the left-right direction. The stop portion 22 is located on the rear side of the feeding assembly 21 and is movable in the front-back direction so that it can move to contact the pin at the outlet of the feeding channel.

[0054] The clamping mechanism 3 includes two clamping parts 3a located between the base 1 and the feeding assembly 21. The two clamping parts 3a are spaced apart in the front-back direction, and one clamping part 3a is movable in the front-back direction to move closer to the other clamping part 3a to jointly clamp the pin. The picking mechanism 4 includes a picking part 4a located above the base 1 and movable in the vertical direction to pick up the pin at the discharge port and move it between the two clamping parts 3a. The two cutting mechanisms 5 are located on the left and right sides of the clamping mechanism 3 and are arranged opposite to each other to cut the end of the pin.

[0055] In the technical solution of the present invention, the processing device 100 includes a base 1, a feeding structure 2, a clamping mechanism 3, a picking mechanism 4, and two cutting mechanisms 5. The feeding structure 2 includes a feeding assembly 21 located above the base 1 and a stop portion 22. The feeding assembly 21 forms a feeding channel that is inclined from front to back for placing a pin extending in the left-right direction. The stop portion 22 is located behind the feeding assembly 21 and is movable in the front-back direction so as to be able to move to contact the pin at the outlet of the feeding channel. The clamping mechanism 3 includes a clamping mechanism located on the base 1. The feeding assembly 21 has two clamping parts 3a, which are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. One clamping part 3a is movable in the front-to-back direction to move closer to the other clamping part 3a to jointly clamp the pin. The picking mechanism 4 includes a picking part 4a located above the machine base 1 and movable in the vertical direction to pick up the pin at the outlet and move it between the two clamping parts 3a. The two cutting mechanisms 5 are located on the left and right sides of the clamping mechanism 3 and are arranged opposite to each other to cut the end of the pin. The feeding assembly 21 and the stop part 22 cooperate to achieve continuous feeding. The picking part 4a moves the pin at the outlet to the two clamping parts 3a, so that the pin is clamped and processed under the joint action of the two clamping parts 3a. The two cutting mechanisms 5 further complete the end cutting of the pin to achieve end turning and chamfering. The feeding assembly 21 and the stop part 22 work together to achieve continuous and rapid feeding for the pin turning process. The pick-up part 4a moves the pin between the two clamping parts 3a. At this point, by moving one of the clamping parts 3a closer to the other clamping part 3a, the pin can be clamped together. This simplifies the pin clamping operation steps, reduces the difficulty of clamping, and greatly improves processing efficiency.

[0056] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 5As shown, the feeding structure 2 further includes a fixed base 23, a movable plate 24, and a first driving cylinder 25. The fixed base 23 is located above the machine base 1, and the lower end face of the fixed base 23 is provided with a guide rail extending in the front-rear direction. The movable plate 24 is arranged opposite to the discharge port of the feeding channel and has a guide groove adapted to the guide rail. The guide groove slides with the guide rail. The front side of the movable plate 24 has a protrusion 24a to form the stop 22. The first driving cylinder 25 is installed on the lower end face of the fixed base 23 and is located behind the guide rail. The cylinder rod of the first driving cylinder 25 extends in the front-rear direction and is connected to the rear side of the movable plate 24. Thus, the first drive cylinder 25 can drive the moving plate 24 to move in the front-back direction, so that the protrusion 24a can move to contact the pin at the outlet of the feeding channel to prevent the pin from falling off, so that the pin can be transferred between the two clamping parts 3a by means of the picking part 4a, thereby clamping and fixing the pin by the two clamping parts 3a.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding assembly 21 includes a carrier plate 21a extending in the front-to-back direction and two baffles 21b. The carrier plate 21a is inclined from front to back, and the two baffles 21b are spaced apart in the left-to-right direction on the upper surface of the carrier plate 21a to form the feeding channel together with the carrier plate 21a. Thus, after the pin is placed in the feeding channel, it can roll along the carrier plate 21a to the outlet of the feeding channel under its own weight. The width direction of the feeding channel is the length direction of the pin. The picking part 4a can directly move the pin between the two clamping parts 3a. At this time, both ends of the pin face the two cutting mechanisms 5 respectively. After the pin is fixed by the two clamping parts 3a, the end cutting process of the pin can be performed.

[0058] In this embodiment, at least one of the two baffles 21b is movably disposed in the left-right-up direction, so that the distance between the two baffles 21b is adjustable. Thus, by adjusting the distance between the two baffles 21b, pins of different diameters can be placed in the feeding channel.

[0059] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a mounting base 31, a connecting component 32, and a second driving cylinder 33. The mounting base 31 includes a first seat 31a and a second seat, both of which are mounted on the upper surface of the base 1 and spaced apart in the front-rear direction. The connecting component 32 includes a first connecting block 321 and a second connecting block 322. The first connecting block 321 is mounted on the upper surface of the first seat 31a, and the second connecting block 322 is located on the upper surface of the second seat and is movably arranged in the front-rear direction. The first connecting block 321 and the second connecting block 322 each have a protruding strip 322a on their sides facing each other to form the clamping part 3a. The second driving cylinder 33 is mounted above the base 1 and located behind the second seat. The cylinder rod of the second driving cylinder 33 extends in the front-rear direction and is connected to the rear side of the second connecting block 322. Thus, the second driving cylinder 33 can drive the second connecting block 322 to move in the front-back direction, which can adjust the distance between the two protrusions 322a so that the end faces of the two protrusions 322a respectively contact the pin shaft, thereby working together to tighten the pin shaft.

[0060] In this embodiment, each of the protruding strips 322a has an arc-shaped groove recessed on its end face, which is used to fit the side of the pin. By providing the arc-shaped groove, the contact area between the end face of the protruding strip 322a and the pin is increased, thereby improving the clamping stability of the clamping mechanism 3.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, each of the protrusions 322a forms a mounting channel 322b extending in the front-rear direction, with one end of the mounting channel 322b penetrating the end face of the protrusion 322a. The clamping mechanism 3 further includes a pusher assembly 7, which includes a pusher rod 71. The pusher rod 71 is movably mounted in the mounting channel 322b in the front-rear direction, so that its end can extend out of the mounting channel 322b to push the pin located in the arc-shaped groove. Thus, after the pin is processed, the end of the pusher rod 71 extends out of the mounting channel 322b to push the pin in, causing the pin to fall out.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 7As shown, the mounting channel 322b is provided with a limiting part 322c; the top material rod 71 is provided with a mating part 71a, which is located on the side of the limiting part 322c facing away from the open end of the mounting channel 322b, and is used to cooperate with the limiting part 322c to limit the movement stroke of the top material rod 71 when the top material rod 71 moves toward the open end of the mounting channel 322b; the top material assembly 7 also includes a spring 72, which is installed in the mounting channel 322b and located on the side of the mating part 71a facing away from the open end of the mounting channel 322b. One end of the spring 72 abuts against the mating part 71a, and the other end is fixedly set to allow the top material rod 71 to return to its original position. When the two protrusions 322a work together to clamp the pin, the push rod 71 moves into the mounting channel 322b under the action of the pin to compress the spring 72. After the pin is processed, the second connecting block 322 moves away from the first connecting block 321 under the drive of the second driving cylinder 33. At this time, the spring 72 restores its deformation to push the push rod 71, so that the end of the push rod 71 extends out of the mounting channel 322b to push the pin in and cause the pin to fall off.

[0063] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the upper surface of the machine base 1 has a material discharge port, which is located between the first base body 31a and the second base body. The processing device 100 also includes a collection component 6, which includes a collection hopper 61 and a guide pipe 62. The collection hopper 61 is located below the machine base 1 and is correspondingly arranged to the material discharge port. The upper end of the collection hopper 61 is connected to the lower surface of the machine base 1 to collect the pins transferred by the two clamping parts 3a. The guide pipe 62 is located below the collection hopper 61 and is inclined from top to bottom. The upper port of the guide pipe 62 is connected to the lower port of the collection hopper 61. After the pin is processed, one of the clamping parts 3a can be moved away from the other clamping part 3a to release the pin. At this time, the pin falls from the material discharge port into the collection hopper 61 and is output to the receiving bucket through the guide pipe 62 under the action of gravity.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the lower side of the guide tube 62 has multiple chip removal holes 621, which are arranged in an array. In this way, the cutting material that falls into the collecting hopper 61 along with the pin can fall out of the chip removal holes 621 when passing through the guide tube 62, thereby realizing the automatic separation of the pin and the cutting material.

[0065] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the picking mechanism 4 includes a mounting base 41, a third driving cylinder 42, and a parallel gripper structure 43. The mounting base 41 includes a base body and a supporting platform 41a. The base body is located on the upper end face of the machine base 1 and extends vertically. The supporting platform 41a is located on the upper end face of the base body and has a through hole extending vertically. The third driving cylinder 42 is mounted on the upper end face of the supporting platform 41a and is correspondingly arranged with the through hole. The cylinder rod of the third driving cylinder 42 passes through... The parallel pneumatic gripper structure 43 includes a cylinder body 431 and two grippers 432. The cylinder body 431 is movably mounted on the front side of the seat body in the vertical direction. The upper end face of the cylinder body 431 is connected to the part of the cylinder rod of the third drive cylinder 42 that passes through the through hole. The two grippers 432 are mounted on the cylinder body 431 and are movably arranged in the left and right directions so that they can approach each other to jointly clamp the pin. The picking part 4a includes two grippers 432. After the pin is placed in the feeding channel, it can roll along the material carrier plate 21a to the outlet of the feeding channel under its own gravity. The width direction of the feeding channel is the length direction of the pin. At this time, the third driving cylinder 42 drives the cylinder body 431 to move downward and approach the material carrier plate 21a. The two jaws 432 work together to clamp the pin. At this time, the stop part 22 moves backward to avoid the parallel air gripper structure 43. The parallel air gripper structure 43 continues to move downward under the drive of the third driving cylinder 42 to move the pin between the two clamping parts 3a, thus completing the transfer of the pin.

[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, each of the cutting mechanisms 5 includes a support plate 51, a rotating shaft 52, and a fourth drive cylinder 53. The support plate 51 is mounted on the upper end face of the machine base 1 and is movably arranged in the left-right direction. The rotating shaft 52 is rotatably mounted on the upper end face of the support plate 51 along an axis extending in the left-right direction. A cutter head is mounted on one end of the rotating shaft 52 facing the clamping mechanism 3 for mounting cutting tools. The fourth drive cylinder 53 is mounted on the upper end face of the machine base 1 and is located on the side of the support plate 51 facing away from the clamping mechanism 3. The cylinder rod of the fourth drive cylinder 53 extends in the left-right direction and drives the support plate 51. Each of the cutting mechanisms 5 is also provided with a drive device to drive the rotating shaft 52 to rotate, thereby driving the tool on the cutter head to rotate. The fourth drive cylinder 53 drives the support plate 51 to move closer to the clamping mechanism 3, so that the pin can be chamfered by the chamfering tool on the cutter head. It should be noted that, in addition to chamfering the pin shaft, the processing device 100 can also chamfer automotive bushings. In this case, it is only necessary to replace the pin shaft chamfering tool on the cutter head with a bushing chamfering tool, and by installing a suitable cross-sectioning tool, the cross-section cutting of the bushing can also be performed.
