Description

Locomotive brake disc handling system Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of railway locomotive technology, and in particular to a locomotive brake disc processing system. Background Technology

[0002] The brake discs of railway locomotives are located on both sides of the wheel discs and are generally made of air-cooled hardened steel. Brake discs have good wear resistance and are mainly used for braking locomotives.

[0003] To maintain the brake discs in good working condition and improve the safety and service life of locomotives, brake discs often require grinding and cleaning. Because brake discs tend to accumulate feathers, dirt, oil, and other contaminants, and due to the unique arrangement of the cooling fins, these fins are difficult to clean. Furthermore, the brake discs also have keyways and stepped holes, requiring operators to rotate and flip them to grind these areas. Currently, operators manually rotate and flip the brake discs, then use a cleaning device to clean the cooling fins. After cleaning, the operators use a transfer mechanism or hoisting device to move the cleaned brake disc to the grinding unit for grinding the keyways and stepped holes. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also requires operators to move the brake discs between multiple workstations to complete all the necessary processing. Meanwhile, during the cleaning and rust removal process of brake discs, dust can harm human health, the work site is easily polluted, resulting in a dirty and messy environment, and the work efficiency is low, which cannot meet the needs of brake disc processing.

[0044] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0045] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0047] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1-13, this embodiment provides a locomotive brake disc processing system, which includes a frame 1, a lifting and rotating mechanism 2, a control mechanism 3, a cleaning mechanism 4, and a conveying mechanism 5. The frame 1 includes a cleaning chamber 11. The lifting and rotating mechanism 2 is mounted on the frame 1 and has a work station for waiting to be processed. It can drive the brake disc 100 on the work station to be raised, lowered, and rotated. The control mechanism 3 is mounted on the frame 1 and can clamp and flip the brake disc 100. The cleaning mechanism 4 is located in the cleaning chamber 11 and has a pre-processing station. The control mechanism 3 has a secondary processing station. The conveying mechanism 5 is mounted on the frame 1 and can convey the brake disc 100 on the work station to the cleaning chamber 11 along a first horizontal direction. The brake disc 100 is cleaned sequentially through the pre-processing station and the secondary processing station, and then conveyed to the outside of the cleaning chamber 11.

[0049] In this embodiment, the frame 1 includes a cleaning chamber 11. A lifting and rotating mechanism 2 is mounted on the frame 1 and has a work station for operation. This mechanism can lift and rotate the brake disc 100 at the work station. When the brake disc 100 is lifted, the control mechanism 3 can clamp and fix it. The lifting and rotating mechanism 2 rotates the brake disc 100, adjusting the position of the cooling fins on the brake disc 100 to facilitate a more thorough cleaning by the cleaning mechanism 4. The control mechanism 3, mounted on the frame 1, can clamp and flip the brake disc 100, thereby adjusting its orientation so that the cooling fins face downwards for easier cleaning. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for manual flipping of the brake disc 100, saving time and effort and enhancing safety. The cleaning mechanism 4 is located inside the cleaning chamber 11 and includes a pre-treatment station. The control mechanism 3 has a secondary treatment station. The brake disc 100 on the work station is transported to the cleaning chamber 11 along the first horizontal direction via the conveying mechanism 5. It is then sequentially cleaned through the pre-treatment and secondary treatment stations before being transported out of the cleaning chamber 11. This eliminates the need for manual handling of the brake disc 100, resulting in a compact structure and higher efficiency. The sequential cleaning of the brake disc 100 through multiple stations enhances the cleaning effect. Since the entire cleaning process is completed within the cleaning chamber 11, the removed foreign matter does not spill out, ensuring a clean work site. Through the above configuration, the locomotive brake disc processing system of this embodiment can meet the processing requirements of the brake disc 100, featuring a compact structure, high efficiency and convenience, improved cleanliness of the work site, and safety and reliability.

[0050] It should be noted that a storage station is provided on one side of the cleaning chamber 11 for storing the processed brake discs 100. The waiting-to-work station and the storage station are respectively located on both sides of the cleaning chamber 11. Along the first horizontal direction, the waiting-to-work station, the pre-treatment station, the secondary treatment station, and the storage station are arranged sequentially at intervals to ensure the smooth transport and cleaning of the brake discs 100 and the rationality of the related structural layout. In addition, the first horizontal direction in this embodiment is the direction in which the brake discs 100 are transported from the waiting-to-work station to the storage station. Those skilled in the art can adjust the first horizontal direction according to the actual operation, which will not be elaborated here.

[0051] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-6, the lifting and rotating mechanism 2 includes a lifting driver 21, a lifting platform 22, a rotating driver 23, and a placement platform 24. The lifting driver 21 is mounted on the frame 1, and its output end is connected to the lifting platform 22, enabling it to move vertically. The rotating driver 23 is mounted on the lifting platform 22, and its output end is connected to the placement platform 24, which is parallel to and opposite to the lifting platform 22, enabling it to rotate vertically. The work station is placed on the placement platform 24. Through the above arrangement, the lifting of the lifting platform 22 can drive the rotating driver 23 and the placement platform 24 to rise and fall together, thereby driving the brake disc 100 on the work station to rise and fall, so that the control mechanism 3 can grasp the brake disc 100 and perform operations such as flipping the brake disc 100. As shown in Figure 12, since the heat dissipation ribs are arranged circumferentially on one side of the brake disc 100 and extend radially along the brake disc 100, when the brake disc 100 is cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 4 in the first horizontal direction, only part of the heat dissipation ribs can be cleaned. Therefore, by rotating the placement platform 24 in the vertical direction, the brake disc 100 is driven to rotate in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the position of the heat dissipation ribs so that the cleaning mechanism 4 can thoroughly clean all the heat dissipation ribs, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0052] More specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting actuator 21 employs a cylinder, electric cylinder, or similar structure to ensure the stability of the lifting platform 22 during the lifting process; however, further limitations are not specified here. Furthermore, the lifting actuator 21 also includes a rack and pinion synchronous lifter. Rack and pinion synchronous lifters are provided at all four corners of the bottom of the lifting platform 22 to ensure the stability of the lifting platform 22 during the lifting process, making operation safer. Moreover, by setting up the rack and pinion synchronous lifters, the lifting platform 22 can withstand larger loads, improving lifting synchronization and further enhancing safety performance. In addition, those skilled in the art are familiar with the specific working principle of the rack and pinion synchronous lifter, which will not be elaborated here.

[0053] More specifically, in this embodiment, the rotary drive 23 includes a first motor, a first driving gear, and a first driven gear. The first motor is mounted on the lifting platform 22, and its rotational output end is connected to the first driving gear. The first driving gear meshes with the first driven gear, and the placement platform 24 is connected to the first driven gear. The first motor can drive the first driving gear to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the first driving gear drives the first driven gear to rotate around its own axis, and the rotation of the first driven gear drives the placement platform 24 to rotate in the vertical direction, thereby causing the brake disc 100 on the placement platform 24 to rotate. By adjusting the rotation angle of the brake disc 100 in the vertical direction, the cleaning mechanism 4 can clean the heat dissipation fins. Through the above configuration, power can be transmitted efficiently, ensuring that the placement platform 24 can rotate stably. Furthermore, by controlling the current, voltage, or computer program, precise control of the rotation angle of the placement platform 24 can be achieved to assist in achieving precise rotation of the brake disc 100. Furthermore, the first motor in this embodiment may be a servo motor, stepper motor, or other specific structures to ensure efficient and precise transmission of the above components, without further limitations.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-6, the control mechanism 3 includes a clamping and flipping mechanism 31. The clamping and flipping mechanism 31 includes a sliding plate 311, a clamping driver 312, and two gripping components 313. The sliding plate 311 is vertically and flexibly mounted on the frame 1 so that after the brake disc 100 is raised, the height of the sliding plate 311 can be adjusted to bring it closer to the brake disc 100 and clamp it. The gripping components 313 are slidably mounted on the sliding plate 311. The clamping driver 312 can drive the two gripping components 313 to move towards each other to clamp the brake disc 100, thereby realizing the clamping operation of the brake disc 100 and facilitating the subsequent flipping of the brake disc 100.

[0055] More specifically, the frame 1 is provided with a first slide rail extending vertically, and the sliding plate 311 is provided with a first slider. The first slider is slidably connected to the first slide rail, thereby guiding the sliding direction of the sliding plate 311 and ensuring that the sliding plate 311 is more stable during sliding. In this embodiment, the clamping and flipping mechanism 31 also includes a sliding driver, a first sprocket, and a first chain. The sliding driver is disposed on the frame 1, and the rotation output end of the sliding driver is connected to the first sprocket. The first sprocket is meshed with the first chain, and the first chain is connected to the sliding plate 311. The sliding driver can drive the first sprocket to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the first sprocket drives the first chain to move, and the movement of the first chain drives the sliding plate 311 to slide vertically relative to the frame 1, thereby facilitating the clamping and flipping mechanism 31 to grip and flip the brake disc 100.

[0056] Furthermore, the sliding drive includes a first servo motor, a first coupling, and a first rotating shaft. The first servo motor is connected to the first rotating shaft via the first coupling. The first rotating shaft is connected to two first sprockets, each connected to one end of the first rotating shaft. There are also two first chains, with the two first sprockets meshing one-to-one with the two first chains. The two first chains are connected to both ends of the sliding plate 311. The first servo motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate around its own axis, which in turn drives the two first sprockets to rotate around their own axes. The rotation of the first sprockets moves the first chains, which in turn moves the sliding plate 311 vertically. This configuration ensures smoother and more stable movement of the sliding plate 311, guaranteeing efficient and convenient transmission of the aforementioned components. Furthermore, the use of the first coupling reduces the risk of malfunctions during transmission, making the operation safer and more efficient. The specific number of first sprockets and first chains is not limited, as long as the aforementioned functions are achieved.

[0057] More specifically, as shown in Figures 4-6, the clamping and flipping mechanism 31 also includes a bidirectional threaded rod rotatably connected to the sliding plate 311. A clamping driver 312 is disposed on the sliding plate 311, and its rotational output end is connected to the bidirectional threaded rod. Two gripping components 313 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod and slidably connected to the sliding plate 311 along the second horizontal direction. The clamping driver 312 can drive the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod can cause the two gripping components 313 to move towards or away from each other along the second horizontal direction, thereby gripping the brake disc 100. Furthermore, it can adapt to gripping brake discs 100 of different outer diameters, offering wider adaptability. When the two gripping components 313 move towards each other, they can grip the brake disc 100. When the two gripping components 313 move away from each other, the brake disc 100 can disengage from the gripping components 313 for subsequent cleaning operations. Furthermore, the clamping driver 312 includes a second servo motor and a second coupling. The second servo motor is connected to the bidirectional threaded rod through the second coupling, which can reduce the occurrence of failures, make the transmission efficient and convenient, and ensure operational safety.

[0058] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction to ensure that the brake disc 100 is more stable and smooth during transportation, cleaning, and other operations. In other embodiments, the first and second horizontal directions can be determined according to the actual operation, and are not limited in detail here.

[0059] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-6, the clamping and flipping mechanism 31 further includes a first flipping driver 314. The gripping assembly 313 includes a sliding plate 3131 and a jaw 3132. The sliding plate 3131 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 311 in the horizontal direction. The output end of the clamping driver 312 is connected to the sliding plate 3131, which can drive the two sliding plates 3131 to move towards each other or away from each other, thereby clamping the lifted brake disc 100 to ensure operational safety. The jaw 3132 is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 3131 and is configured to abut against the brake disc 100. The output end of the first flipping driver 314 is connected to the jaw 3132, which can drive the jaw 3132 to rotate in the horizontal direction, thereby causing the clamped brake disc 100 to rotate in the horizontal direction to achieve flipping, so that the heat dissipation fins face downwards for easy cleaning.

[0060] More specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the gripper 3132 includes a limiting clamp and a limiting wheel. A sliding plate 3131 is slidably mounted on a sliding plate 311 along a second horizontal direction and connected to the output end of a clamping driver 312. The clamping driver 312 drives a bidirectional threaded rod to rotate, thereby causing the two sliding plates 3131 to move towards or away from each other along the second horizontal direction. A first flipping driver 314 is mounted on the sliding plate 3131, and a limiting clamp is mounted on the output end of the first flipping driver 314. The first flipping driver 314 can drive the limiting clamp to rotate around the second horizontal direction. When the two sliding plates 3131 move towards each other, they can cause the two limiting clamps to move towards each other, thereby gripping the brake disc 100. When the limiting clamp rotates, it can cause the brake disc 100 it grips to rotate together around the second horizontal direction, thereby flipping the brake disc 100 180 degrees so that the heat dissipation fins face downwards, facilitating cleaning operations. Two limiting wheels are provided, each rotatably mounted at one end of the limiting clamp. These two wheels abut against the outer periphery of the brake disc 100, thus securely holding the brake disc 100 within the limiting clamp and preventing it from wobbling, thus preventing the brake disc 100 from detaching from the clamp. The upper and lower ends of the limiting clamp are provided with abutment portions, which abut against opposite sides of the brake disc 100 to ensure reliable clamping and fixing of the brake disc 100. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first flipping driver 314 can adopt other specific structures such as a servo motor or a stepper motor to ensure efficient and precise transmission of the aforementioned components; no further limitations are imposed here.

[0061] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-7, the control mechanism 3 further includes a flipping and rotating mechanism 32. The flipping and rotating mechanism 32 includes a flipping frame 321 and a second flipping driver 322. The flipping frame 321 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the output end of the second flipping driver 322 is connected to the flipping frame 321, which can drive the flipping frame 321 to rotate in the horizontal direction and drive the brake disc 100 on the secondary processing station to flip. Through the above arrangement, the brake disc 100 can be flipped under the mutual cooperation of the above components, thereby ensuring that the brake disc 100 remains in a vertical state, so as to facilitate the grinding and cleaning of the opposite sides of the brake disc 100.

[0062] More specifically, in this embodiment, the second tilting actuator 322 includes a second motor, a first gear, and a second gear. The second motor is mounted on the frame 1, and its output shaft is connected to the first gear. The first and second gears mesh with each other. The second gear is connected to the tilting frame 321. The second motor drives the first gear to rotate around its own axis, which in turn drives the second gear to rotate around its own axis, thereby causing the tilting frame 321 to rotate. The rotation axes of the first gear, the second gear, and the tilting frame 321 are all parallel to the horizontal direction. This configuration ensures stable power transmission and precise control of the rotation of the tilting frame 321 via the second motor, thereby causing the brake disc 100 to tilt. In other embodiments, the second motor can directly drive the tilting frame 321 to rotate, as long as the above functions are achieved. The specific structure of the second tilting actuator 322 is not limited here.

[0063] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-9, the flipping and rotating mechanism 32 further includes a rotating table 323, a clamping assembly 324, and a rotation driver 325. The rotating table 323 is rotatably connected to the flipping frame 321. The clamping assembly 324 is disposed on the rotating table 323 and configured to clamp the brake disc 100. The secondary processing station is disposed on the rotating table 323. The output end of the rotation driver 325 is connected to the rotating table 323 and can drive the rotating table 323 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating table 323 can drive the brake disc 100 on the secondary processing station to rotate, so that the cleaning mechanism 4 can better clean the brake disc 100 and achieve better cleaning quality. Furthermore, the rotation axis of the rotating table 323 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the flipping frame 321, so that the rotation of the rotating table 323 and the flipping of the flipping frame 321 do not interfere with each other.

[0064] More specifically, in this embodiment, the rotary driver 325 is mounted on the tilting frame 321, and its output end is connected to the rotary table 323, enabling the rotary table 323 to rotate, thereby rotating the brake disc 100. The rotary driver 325 includes a rotary drive, which drives the rotary table 323 to rotate. Those skilled in the art understand the specific working principle of the rotary drive, which will not be elaborated here. In other embodiments, the rotary driver 325 includes a third motor and a third coupling. The third motor is connected to the rotary table 323 via the third coupling, thereby driving the rotary table 323 to rotate. That is, the specific structure of the rotary driver 325 is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0065] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-9, the clamping assembly 324 includes a transmission gear ring 3241, a transmission gear 3242, a clamping member 3243, and a clamping driver 3244. A transmission gear ring 3241 is mounted on a rotary table 323. Multiple transmission gears 3242 are provided, evenly spaced along the circumference of the rotary table 323 and rotatably connected to it. The transmission gears 3242 mesh with the transmission gear ring 3241. Multiple clamping members 3243 are provided, spaced along the circumference of the rotary table 323 and slidably connected to it radially. One end of each clamping member 3243, away from the rotary table 323, is positioned to abut against the inner circumferential wall of the brake disc 100. One side of each clamping member 3243 has teeth. The multiple clamping members 3243 mesh with the multiple transmission gears 3242 in a corresponding manner, clamping the driver 3244. The output end is connected to one of the transmission gears 3242, which can drive the transmission gear 3242 to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the transmission gear 3242 can drive the clamping member 3243 meshing with the transmission gear 3242 to slide radially along the rotary table 323, and drive the transmission gear ring 3241 to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the transmission gear ring 3241 can drive the other transmission gears 3242 to rotate around their own axes, and then drive the other clamping members 3243 to slide radially along the rotary table 323. Thus, the end of each clamping member 3243 away from the rotary table 323 can abut against the inner wall of the brake disc 100 in the circumferential direction, thereby clamping and fixing the brake disc 100 and preventing the brake disc 100 from shaking, falling and bumping during operation.

[0066] More specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping actuator 3244 includes a swing cylinder. The output end of the swing cylinder is provided with a second rotating shaft, which is connected to one of the transmission gears 3242. The swing cylinder drives the second rotating shaft to rotate, thereby causing the transmission gear 3242 to rotate around its own axis, making the power transmission more stable and the structure of the related components more compact. In other embodiments, the clamping actuator 3244 includes a fourth motor and a third rotating shaft. The output end of the fourth motor is connected to the third rotating shaft, which is connected to one of the transmission gears 3242. The fourth motor drives the third rotating shaft to rotate, thereby causing the transmission gear 3242 to rotate around its own axis. That is, the specific structure of the clamping actuator 3244 is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0067] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 4 includes a pretreatment mechanism 41, which comprises a brush roller 411 and a pretreatment driver 412. The brush roller 411 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 and configured to abut against the brake disc 100 at the pretreatment station, thereby increasing the contact area between the brush roller 411 and the brake disc 100 and improving the cleaning quality. The output end of the pretreatment driver 412 is connected to the brush roller 411 and can drive the brush roller 411 to rotate around a second horizontal direction, thereby cleaning and polishing the side of the brake disc 100. At the same time, it can also assist the conveying mechanism 5 in conveying the brake disc 100. By making the second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, it is ensured that when the brake disc 100 is conveyed along the first horizontal direction, the cleaning area between the brush roller 411 and the brake disc 100 is larger, resulting in higher efficiency and better effect.

[0068] More specifically, as shown in Figures 1-6, in this embodiment, the pretreatment driver 412 includes a fifth motor, a second sprocket, a second chain (not shown), and a third sprocket. Two brush rollers 411 are provided, spaced apart vertically to allow the brake disc 100 to pass between them for cleaning. The brush rollers 411 extend along a second horizontal direction and are rotatably connected to the frame 1 to ensure sufficient contact between the brush rollers 411 and the surface of the brake disc 100, thereby improving the cleaning quality. The output end of the fifth motor is connected to the second sprocket, which is meshed with the second chain. The second chain is meshed with the third sprocket, which is connected to the lower brush roller 411. The fifth motor can drive the second sprocket to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the second sprocket drives the second chain to move, which in turn drives the third sprocket to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the third sprocket drives the brush roller 411 to rotate around the second horizontal direction, thereby transmitting the driving force of the fifth motor to the brush roller 411. The rotation of the brush roller 411 achieves the cleaning operation of the brake disc 100. This configuration ensures the stability of the transmission connections of each component, improves the cleaning effect, and makes the operation safer. Furthermore, the fifth motor in this embodiment can adopt other specific structures such as a servo motor or a stepper motor to ensure the high efficiency and precision of the transmission of the above components; no further limitations are imposed here.

[0069] More specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the brush roller 411 includes a brush shaft and brush bristles. Both ends of the brush shaft are rotatably connected to the frame 1 via flange-type safety chucks. The flange-type safety chucks connect the brush shaft to the brush shaft to better transmit torque and ensure the safe and stable rotation of the brush roller 411. The brush bristles are spirally coiled around the outer circumference of the brush shaft in a second horizontal direction to increase the contact area between the brush roller 411 and the brake disc 100, thereby improving cleaning quality. Preferably, the brush bristles are made of steel to improve cleaning strength and effectiveness.

[0070] Specifically, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the brush rollers 411 are height-adjustably mounted on the frame 1, allowing the spacing between the two brush rollers 411 to be adjusted. This adapts to cleaning operations of brake discs 100 of different specifications, while also reducing wear on the brush rollers 411 during the cleaning process, ensuring cleaning effectiveness and extending the service life of the cleaning mechanism 4. Furthermore, the brush rollers 411 have sliding plates and fasteners at both ends. The sliding plates are clamped between the fasteners and the flange-type safety chuck. The frame 1 has vertically extending grooves, and the sliding plates slide within these grooves, allowing the brush rollers 411 to slide up and down, thus adjusting their height. Furthermore, the frame 1 includes a wall panel and two L-shaped pressure plates. The two L-shaped pressure plates are connected to the wall panel, forming a groove between them. The L-shaped pressure plates can be screwed onto the wall panel using bolts. Since the thickness of the sliding plate is less than the depth of the groove, the sliding plate can be locked in the groove by tightening the bolts, thus fixing the position of the brush roller 411 for smooth cleaning operations. To further ensure the locking effect of the sliding plate, its lower end is detachably connected to the wall panel via a set screw to ensure the height of the brush roller 411 is fixed. Additionally, as shown in Figure 4, to ensure normal operation of the transmission of each component during the height adjustment of the brush roller 411, the pretreatment driver 412 is connected to the sliding plate of the lower brush roller 411, thus adjusting its height synchronously with the lower brush roller 411.

[0071] More specifically, as shown in Figure 4, to achieve synchronous rotation of the two brush rollers 411, the pretreatment driver 412 also includes a tensioning wheel and two pulleys. The two pulleys are connected one-to-one to the two brush rollers 411 and are connected to the tensioning wheel via a synchronous belt (not shown in the figure). The fifth motor drives the third sprocket to rotate. The rotation of the third sprocket drives the lower brush roller 411 to rotate, which in turn drives the pulley connected to it to rotate. This, in turn, drives the other pulley to rotate via the synchronous belt and tensioning wheel. The rotation of the other pulley drives the upper brush roller 411 to rotate, thus achieving simultaneous rotation of the two brush rollers 411 for comprehensive cleaning of the brake disc 100. Simultaneously, the tensioning wheel and synchronous belt ensure that the rotational movements of the pulleys remain synchronized. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the tensioning wheel is slidably mounted on the frame 1 along the first horizontal direction. The sliding of the tensioning wheel allows for adjustment of the tension of the synchronous belt, ensuring more stable transmission and safer operation of the aforementioned components. Even further, as shown in Figure 4, the pulley connected to the lower brush roller 411 and the third sprocket are coaxially aligned and face each other, ensuring that the rotation of the third sprocket smoothly drives the pulley to rotate around the second horizontal direction, thus ensuring stable transmission of driving force.

[0072] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-10, the cleaning mechanism 4 further includes a first polishing mechanism 42. The first polishing mechanism 42 includes a sliding plate 421, a sliding driver 422, a first polishing component 423, and a first polishing driver 433. The sliding plate 421 is slidably connected to the frame 1. The output end of the sliding driver 422 is connected to the sliding plate 421 and can drive the sliding plate 421 to slide in the horizontal direction. The first polishing component 423 is vertically and vertically mounted on the sliding plate 421. The output end of the first polishing driver 433 is connected to the first polishing component 423 and can drive the first polishing component 423 to rise and fall. By sliding the slide plate 421, the first grinding part 423 can be driven to move towards the brake disc 100 until the first grinding part 423 extends into the keyway 101 on the brake disc 100. Since the keyway 101 extends radially along the brake disc 100, when the brake disc 100 is in a vertical state, the first grinding part 423 can be raised and lowered to perform grinding along the extension direction of the keyway 101, resulting in a higher grinding effect.

[0073] More specifically, as shown in Figures 1-10, in this embodiment, the sliding actuator 422 includes a sixth motor, a third gear, and a first rack. The output shaft of the sixth motor is connected to the third gear, which is meshed with the first rack. The first rack is mounted on the sliding plate 421. The sixth motor drives the third gear to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the third gear causes the first rack to move horizontally, thereby causing the sliding plate 421 to slide horizontally and gradually approach the brake disc 100, which is in a vertical position, until the first grinding element 423 extends into the keyway 101 for grinding. Furthermore, the first grinding element 423 is a pneumatic grinding head, which has the advantages of high-speed rotation and flexible operation. In other embodiments, the sliding actuator 422 includes a cylinder, which drives the sliding plate 421 to slide, making it more convenient and stable. That is, the specific structure of the sliding actuator 422 is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0074] More specifically, the first grinding driver 433 is mounted on the sliding plate 421, and its output end is connected to the first grinding element 423, enabling it to drive the first grinding element 423 to move up and down, thereby grinding along the extension direction of the keyway 101 and further improving the grinding quality. Furthermore, the first grinding element 423 is disc-shaped and equipped with a wire brush to enhance the grinding effect.

[0075] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-12, the cleaning mechanism 4 also includes a second polishing mechanism 43. The second polishing mechanism 43 includes a support plate 431, a telescopic actuator 432, and a plurality of second polishing components 433. The support plate 431 is slidably connected to the frame 1. The plurality of second polishing components 433 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support plate 431 on the support plate 431 for polishing and cleaning the stepped holes 102 on the brake disc 100. The output end of the telescopic actuator 432 is connected to the support plate 431 and can drive the support plate 431 to slide in the horizontal direction and drive the second polishing components 433 to move, so that the second polishing components 433 can extend into the stepped holes 102 and perform polishing operations.

[0076] More specifically, in this embodiment, when the brake disc 100 on the secondary processing station is in a vertical state by rotating through the tilting frame 321, the brake disc 100 is located between the first grinding mechanism 42 and the second grinding mechanism 43, so that the first grinding mechanism 42 and the second grinding mechanism 43 can simultaneously grind and clean the opposing sides of the brake disc 100, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0077] Furthermore, since the brake disc 100 is provided with multiple through-hole stepped holes 102, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the brake disc 100, a grinding head is provided at the end of the second grinding member 433 facing away from the support plate 431 to better polish and clean the stepped holes 102. The output end of the telescopic actuator 432 is connected to the support plate 431, which can drive the support plate 431 to slide towards the first grinding mechanism 42. The sliding of the support plate 431 can drive the grinding head to extend into the stepped holes 102 on the brake disc 100, thereby realizing the grinding operation of the stepped holes 102 without manual labor and with higher efficiency. Furthermore, the grinding head in this embodiment is a pneumatic grinding head with high speed and good grinding quality, and its specific principle is clear to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, there are 18 stepped holes 102, with one stepped hole 102 every 20 degrees from the center angle of the brake disc 100. There are six second grinding components 433, evenly distributed along the circumference of the bearing disc 431, to grind the stepped holes 102. In other embodiments, the specific number of the above components is not limited.

[0078] More specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic actuator 432 includes a seventh motor, a fourth gear, and a second rack. The output shaft of the seventh motor is connected to the fourth gear, and the second rack is meshed with the fourth gear and connected to the support plate 431. The seventh motor drives the fourth gear to rotate around its own axis, thereby causing the second rack and the support plate 431 to move synchronously in the horizontal direction. This allows the grinding head on the support plate 431 to gradually approach the vertically positioned brake disc 100 until the grinding head extends into the stepped hole 102 for grinding. In other embodiments, the telescopic actuator 432 includes a cylinder, the output end of which is connected to the support plate 431, thereby driving the support plate 431 to slide in the horizontal direction for smoother operation. The specific structure of the telescopic actuator 432 is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0079] Specifically, as shown in Figure 11, the second grinding mechanism 43 also includes an adjusting plate and an adjusting driver. The adjusting plate is rotatably connected to the bearing plate 431 and is concentrically arranged facing the bearing plate 431. The adjusting plate has multiple adjusting grooves, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the adjusting plate. The second grinding element 433 is slidably connected to the bearing plate 431 along the radial direction of the bearing plate 431. The end of the second grinding element 433 away from the grinding head has a protrusion, which extends into the adjusting groove. The output end of the adjusting driver is connected to the adjusting plate and can drive the adjusting plate to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting plate can drive the adjusting groove to rotate. By pushing the protrusion against the groove wall, the second grinding element 433 can be driven to slide radially along the adjusting plate, thereby adjusting the length of the second grinding element 433 extending from the bearing plate 431. This allows the grinding head to adapt to different specifications of brake discs 100, such as brake discs 100 with an outer diameter of 1060mm or 1040mm, so as to facilitate grinding operations and have wider adaptability.

[0080] More specifically, the extension directions of two adjacent adjusting slides are set at an angle, and the angle between each pair of adjacent adjusting slides is the same. This ensures that the adjusting slides can simultaneously push against the protrusions during rotation, thereby enabling multiple second grinding parts 433 to slide simultaneously and extending multiple grinding heads to the same length to accommodate the grinding of the stepped hole 102. Furthermore, the adjusting driver in this embodiment can adopt a servo motor, stepper motor, or other structure, which will not be elaborated here.

[0081] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-11, in order to make the grinding operation more accurate and effective, the locomotive brake disc processing system of this embodiment also includes a vision mechanism. The vision mechanism is set on the frame 1. The vision mechanism performs image recognition on the brake disc 100 to control the rotation angle of the brake disc 100, so that the first grinding part 423 can be inserted into the keyway 101 to grind the keyway 101, and the second grinding part 433 can be inserted into the stepped hole 102 to grind. Furthermore, the vision mechanism includes a camera and a computer. The camera captures images of the brake disc 100 and transmits the image information to the computer for image processing to calculate the rotation angle of the brake disc 100. The computer generates a control signal and transmits it to the rotation driver 325, which rotates the brake disc 100 so that the first grinding element 423 is aligned with the keyway 101, or the second grinding element 433 is aligned with the stepped hole 102 on the brake disc 100. This facilitates subsequent grinding operations, improving grinding efficiency and ensuring grinding quality. Furthermore, the vision mechanism may also include photoelectric sensors, an image processing unit, a controller, etc., to achieve image recognition and rotation angle control of the brake disc 100. In other words, the specific structure of the vision mechanism is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0082] Specifically, as shown in Figures 7-12, the cleaning mechanism 4 also includes a laser rust removal mechanism 44, which is mounted on the frame 1 and can remove rust from the brake disc 100 to further improve the cleaning effect of the brake disc 100.

[0083] More specifically, in this embodiment, the laser rust removal mechanism 44 includes a connecting frame, a laser, and a rust removal driver. The connecting frame is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the rotation axis of the connecting frame is parallel to the rotation axis of the brake disc 100 when it is flipped. The laser is mounted on the connecting frame, and the output end of the rust removal driver is connected to the connecting frame, which can drive the connecting frame to rotate. The rotation of the connecting frame can drive the laser to perform laser rust removal on both sides of the brake disc 100, thereby ensuring the quality of the rust removal operation of the brake disc 100.

[0084] More specifically, in this embodiment, the rust removal actuator includes an eighth motor, the output of which is connected to a connecting frame. The eighth motor drives the connecting frame to rotate horizontally. The connecting frame is L-shaped. When the brake disc 100 is in a vertical position after being flipped, the connecting frame can rotate around the brake disc 100, thereby driving the laser to remove rust from both sides of the brake disc 100. This eliminates the need for manual labor and increases efficiency. In other embodiments, the rust removal actuator includes a motor and a gear. The output of the motor is connected to the gear, and another gear is provided on the connecting frame. The gear on one side of the motor meshes with the gear on the connecting frame. The motor drives the gear to rotate, thereby causing the connecting frame to rotate. In other words, the specific structure of the rust removal actuator is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0085] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-13, the conveying mechanism 5 includes a transmission driver, a fourth sprocket, a third chain, and multiple transmission rollers. The transmission driver is mounted on the frame 1, and its rotational output end is connected to the fourth sprocket. The fourth sprocket is meshed with the third chain (not shown in the figures). The transmission rollers have first teeth, and the third chain meshes with multiple first teeth. The multiple transmission rollers are spaced apart along a first horizontal direction and rotatably connected to the frame 1. By increasing the contact area between the transmission rollers and the brake disc 100, the brake disc 100 can be more stable during transport on the transmission rollers. The transmission driver can drive the fourth sprocket to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the fourth sprocket drives the third chain to move, and the movement of the third chain drives the multiple transmission rollers to rotate around their own axes, thereby transporting the brake disc 100 along the first horizontal direction to the cleaning mechanism 4 for cleaning. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transmission driver adopts a servo motor, stepper motor, or other structure to improve the transmission efficiency and accuracy between the above components.

[0086] More specifically, as shown in Figure 3, the conveying mechanism 5 includes a first conveying platform, a second conveying platform, and a third conveying platform. These three platforms are arranged sequentially along a first horizontal direction and each has multiple rotatable transmission rollers. The first conveying platform has an opening for the brake disc, through which the lifting and rotating mechanism 2 can extend upwards to lift the brake disc 100 on the placement platform 24. This allows the clamping and flipping mechanism 31 to clamp and flip the brake disc 100, avoiding the problem that the clamping and flipping mechanism 31 cannot directly grip the brake disc 100 on the transmission rollers. Furthermore, partitions are provided at both ends of the opening. The transmission rollers include long rollers and short rollers. The long rollers are rotatably mounted on the frame 1 to drive the brake disc 100 for transport. The short rollers are rotatably mounted between the partitions and the frame 1 to leave space for the opening, facilitating the extension of the brake disc 100 through the opening for lifting, gripping, and flipping operations.

[0087] More specifically, the pre-processing mechanism 41 is positioned between the first and second conveyor tables. The second conveyor table is vertically detachable and mounted on the frame 1, and has a first opening. The first grinding mechanism 42 extends upward through the first opening. When the second conveyor table rises to the same height as the secondary processing station, the brake disc 100 on the second conveyor table can be directly conveyed to the rotary table 323 via the rotation of the transfer rollers, without requiring further adjustments to the conveying mechanism 5, thus making the related structural layout more compact and reasonable. Simultaneously, since the brake disc 100 on the secondary processing station needs to be clamped, flipped, and rotated, a certain height is required for easy operation. Therefore, the second conveyor table is vertically detachable and mounted on the frame 1. Furthermore, the specific lifting principle of the second conveyor table can be referenced from the lifting working principle of the sliding plate 311, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0088] Specifically, a stop mechanism is provided on the second conveyor table. When the brake disc 100 is conveyed from the first conveyor table to the second conveyor table, the stop mechanism can stop the brake disc 100 at a designated position, so as to facilitate the subsequent lifting of the brake disc 100 and its conveyance to the secondary processing station. More specifically, the stop mechanism includes a stop driver and a stop head. The output end of the stop driver is connected to the stop head, which can drive the stop head to move and abut against the brake disc 100 to interfere with the conveyance of the brake disc 100 on the second conveyor table. Furthermore, the stop driver is a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, which can drive the stop head to extend upward to stop the brake disc 100, making the operation more convenient and faster. The specific structure of the stop driver in this embodiment is not limited, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned functions.

[0089] More specifically, the cleaning chamber 11 is located between the third conveyor table and the first conveyor table, so that the brake disc 100 can be transported from the first conveyor table to the second conveyor table in the cleaning chamber 11 for corresponding cleaning and polishing operations, and then transported to the third conveyor table outside the cleaning chamber 11. This not only ensures that foreign objects after cleaning are blocked by the cleaning chamber 11 to avoid pollution of the site, but also facilitates the lifting and retrieval of the brake disc 100 on the conveying mechanism 5. Furthermore, the cleaning chamber 11 is equipped with a dust collection device to collect and clean the dust and other foreign objects after cleaning. The dust collection device is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0090] More specifically, as shown in Figure 13, the storage station in this embodiment is located on the third conveyor platform. After the cleaning operation is completed, the brake disc 100 is conveyed to the storage station via the conveyor mechanism 5 and awaits unloading. Simultaneously, a clamping and flipping mechanism 31 is provided on one side of the storage station (the specific working principle can be found in the aforementioned related content). This mechanism can clamp and flip the brake disc 100 on the storage station by 180 degrees, and then place the flipped brake disc 100 at the storage station to await unloading. In actual operation, if the brake disc 100 has been flipped before the pre-processing operation, it needs to be flipped back at the storage station to ensure that the brake disc 100's state (i.e., the orientation of the heat dissipation fins) is consistent before and after entering the locomotive brake disc processing system. This facilitates the initial hoisting and subsequent assembly of the brake disc 100.

[0091] Specifically, as shown in Figure 13, the frame 1 is equipped with a material unloading lifting mechanism 6, which can lift the brake disc 100 located at the storage position again, so that the operator can hoist and remove the brake disc 100 from this position. Further, the material unloading lifting mechanism 6 includes a material unloading lifting driver 61 and a material unloading platform 62. The output end of the material unloading lifting driver 61 is connected to the material unloading platform 62, which can drive the material unloading platform 62 to lift, thereby lifting the brake disc 100 at the storage position, so that the clamping and flipping mechanism 31 can clamp the lifted brake disc 100. In this embodiment, the material unloading lifting driver 61 includes a cylinder and a rack and pinion synchronous lifter, thereby driving the material unloading platform 62 to perform lifting operations. Furthermore, those skilled in the art understand the specific working principle of the rack and pinion synchronous lifter, which will not be described in detail here. Further, the material unloading platform 62 is equipped with multiple support plates, which can pass between two adjacent transmission rollers on the third conveyor platform and abut against the brake disc 100 at the storage position. This arrangement will not interfere with the normal operation of the transmission rollers. In other embodiments, the unloading lifting drive 61 may include structures such as hydraulic cylinders and electric cylinders, as long as they can achieve the above-mentioned functions, and no further limitations are imposed here.

[0092] More specifically, a stop mechanism is provided on the side of the third conveyor away from the cleaning chamber 11, which can stop the brake disc 100 in the storage position to prevent the brake disc 100 from falling off the third conveyor and causing danger, thus ensuring operational safety.

[0093] The specific working process of this device is described below:

[0094] S1. Place the brake disc 100 on the work station to be operated.

[0095] In step S1 above, the operator uses a KBK crane (KBK flexible crane) to lift the brake disc 100 onto the placement platform 24, ensuring that the brake disc 100 and the platform surface face each other. This facilitates subsequent lifting and rotation of the brake disc 100, and ensures that the lower surface of the brake disc 100 abuts against the first conveyor table, allowing the conveying mechanism 5 to transport the brake disc 100. Furthermore, by using a KBK flexible crane, precise position control and efficient handling operations can be achieved, significantly reducing labor and equipment costs. In addition, other lifting equipment such as bridge cranes and electric hoists can also be used; the lifting method is not limited.

[0096] S2. Determine whether the heat dissipation fins of the brake disc 100 are facing downwards. If so, the brake disc 100 is transported to the pre-treatment mechanism 41 for cleaning via the conveying mechanism 5. If not, the brake disc 100 is lifted by the lifting and rotating mechanism 2, the brake disc 100 is clamped by the clamping and flipping mechanism 31, and the brake disc 100 is flipped so that the heat dissipation fins are facing downwards. Then, the brake disc 100 is placed on the conveying mechanism 5, and the flipped brake disc 100 is transported to the pre-treatment mechanism 41 for cleaning via the conveying mechanism 5.

[0097] In step S2 above, the specific orientation of the heat dissipation fins on the brake disc 100 is determined by the operator's visual observation or by a vision mechanism (such as an image processing system, computer vision library, etc.). If the heat dissipation fins are determined to be downward, multiple transmission rollers are directly driven to rotate via the transmission driver, thereby causing the brake disc 100 to move along the first horizontal direction. The brush roller 411 is then driven to rotate around the second horizontal direction via the pre-processing driver 412. After the brake disc 100 passes two brush rollers 411, the first cleaning operation is completed. Conversely, if... If the heat dissipation fins are facing upwards, the lifting driver 21 drives the lifting platform 22 to rise. The rise of the lifting platform 22 will cause the placement platform 24 to extend from the disc opening, thereby lifting the brake disc 100. After the brake disc 100 is raised to a suitable position, the sliding driver drives the sliding plate 311 to descend and gradually approach the brake disc 100 until the height of the brake disc 100 is consistent with the height of the chuck 3132. At this time, the clamping driver 312 drives the two chucks 3132 to move towards each other, thereby clamping the brake disc 100 through the chucks 3132. To provide sufficient space for the brake disc 100 to be flipped, the sliding drive will raise the sliding plate 311, causing the brake disc 100 to move upward. At this time, the first flipping drive 314 drives the pawl 3132 to rotate 180 degrees around the second horizontal direction, thereby flipping the heat dissipation fins of the brake disc 100 downward. After the brake disc 100 is flipped, the sliding drive will again drive the sliding plate 311 to descend, so that the brake disc 100 is placed back on the placement platform 24 (at this time, the heat dissipation fins are downward). The lifting drive 21 drives the lifting platform 22 to descend until the multiple transmission rollers on the first conveying platform come into contact with the brake disc 100 and transport the brake disc 100 to the pre-processing mechanism 41 for cleaning.

[0098] S3. After the brake disc 100 is cleaned for the first time, the conveying mechanism 5 reverses the conveying mechanism to return the brake disc 100 to its initial position. The lifting and rotating mechanism 2 drives the brake disc 100 to rotate, and the conveying mechanism 5 then transports the brake disc 100 to the pre-treatment mechanism 41 for cleaning.

[0099] In step S3 above, due to the unique arrangement of the heat dissipation fins, the brush roller 411 can only clean part of the heat dissipation fins. Therefore, after the first cleaning operation, the transmission driver will drive multiple transmission rollers to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby conveying the brake disc 100 to the initial position on the first conveyor table. At this time, the lifting driver 21 drives the lifting platform 22 to rise, which in turn drives the rotary driver 23, the placement platform 24, and the brake disc 100 on the placement platform 24 to rise together, passing through the disc opening and extending upward to avoid interference from the first conveyor table to the rotation of the brake disc 100. The rotary driver 23 drives the placement platform 24 to rotate, thereby causing the brake disc 100 to rotate 90 degrees around the vertical direction. At this time, the lifting driver 21 drives the lifting platform 22 to descend, causing the brake disc 100 to fall back onto the surface of the transmission rollers. The transmission driver drives multiple transmission rollers to rotate, so that the rotated brake disc 100 is cleaned again by the pre-treatment mechanism 41. Thus, the pre-treatment cleaning operation of the brake disc 100 is completed.

[0100] S4. The brake disc 100 is transported to the secondary processing station via the conveying mechanism 5.

[0101] In step S4 above, after the pretreatment cleaning of the brake disc 100 is completed, the brake disc 100 is conveyed to the second conveyor via the first conveyor and the pretreatment mechanism 41. The stop head is extended by the stop driver to stop the continued movement of the brake disc 100. At this time, the first conveyor rises relative to the frame 1 until it is level with the height of the secondary processing station on the rotary table 323, releasing the stop head from stopping the brake disc 100, and the brake disc 100 is conveyed to the rotary table 323 by multiple transmission rollers on the second conveyor.

[0102] S5. The brake disc 100 is clamped by the flipping and rotating mechanism 32, and the brake disc 100 is flipped.

[0103] In step S5 above, the brake disc 100 is placed on the rotary table 323 and kept horizontal. The clamping driver 3244 drives the transmission gear 3242 to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the transmission gear 3242 can drive the clamping member 3243 meshing with the transmission gear 3242 to slide radially along the rotary table 323, and drive the transmission gear ring 3241 to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the transmission gear ring 3241 can drive the other transmission gears 3242 to rotate around their own axes, thereby driving the other clamping members to rotate. The holding member 3243 slides radially along the rotary table 323, so that the end of each holding member 3243 away from the rotary table 323 can abut against the inner circumferential inner wall of the brake disc 100, thereby clamping and fixing the brake disc 100 and preventing the brake disc 100 from shaking, falling and bumping during operation; the second flipping driver 322 drives the flipping frame 321 to rotate around the horizontal direction, and drives the brake disc 100 on the secondary processing station to flip, so that the brake disc 100 remains in a vertical state.

[0104] S6. After the brake disc 100 is kept in a vertical position, the sliding driver 422 drives the first grinding part 423 to extend into the keyway 101 for grinding. The first grinding driver 433 drives the first grinding part 423 to move. By rotating the driver 325, the brake disc 100 is rotated to complete the grinding operation of the remaining keyways 101.

[0105] In step S6 above, the vision mechanism and the rotary driver 325 work together to ensure that the first grinding element 423 is precisely aligned with a keyway 101 on the brake disc 100, thus guaranteeing the accuracy and precision of the operation. The sliding driver 422 drives the sliding plate 421 to slide horizontally. The sliding plate 421 moves the first grinding element 423 toward the brake disc 100 until it extends into the keyway 101 on the brake disc 100. Since the keyway 101 extends radially along the brake disc 100... When the brake disc 100 is in a vertical position, the first grinding driver 433 drives the first grinding component 423 to rise and fall, which can perform grinding along the extension direction of the keyway 101 through the lifting and lowering of the first grinding component 423, resulting in a higher grinding effect. After the keyway 101 at that location is ground, the sliding driver 422 drives the first grinding component 423 to be pulled out of the keyway 101, and the brake disc 100 is rotated to the next keyway 101 by rotating the driver 325, and the above actions are repeated until all keyways 101 are ground.

[0106] S7. During the rotation of the brake disc 100, the laser is driven to rotate by the rust removal driver to remove rust from both sides of the brake disc 100.

[0107] In step S7 above, the brake disc 100 is driven to rotate in the horizontal direction by the drive driver 325. At the same time, the laser removes rust on one side of the brake disc 100. The brake disc 100 is rotated while removing rust. After the rust removal on one side of the brake disc 100 is completed, the rust removal drive drives the connecting frame to rotate, which in turn drives the laser to rotate in the horizontal direction, thereby removing rust on the other side of the brake disc 100. This allows the laser to remove rust on both sides of the brake disc 100, resulting in higher work efficiency.

[0108] S8. The rotation angle of the brake disc 100 is controlled by the vision mechanism, and the telescopic driver 432 drives the second grinding part 433 to extend into the stepped hole 102 for grinding.

[0109] In step S8 above, after the keyway 101 is polished and laser rust removal is completed, the rotary driver 325 drives the rotary table 323 to rotate, and drives the brake disc 100 in the vertical position to rotate around the horizontal direction. When the brake disc 100 rotates to the step hole 102 facing the second polishing part 433, the vision mechanism controls the rotary driver 325 to stop the brake disc 100 from spinning. The telescopic driver 432 drives the carrier plate 431 to move toward the brake disc 100 until the second polishing part 433 extends into the step hole 102 and polishing is achieved. After the stepped holes 102 are polished, the telescopic actuator 432 drives the second polishing component 433 to retract from the stepped holes 102 to avoid interfering with the rotation of the brake disc 100. The rotary actuator 325 then drives the brake disc 100 to rotate horizontally. When the vision mechanism identifies the next batch of stepped holes 102 that need to be polished, the rotary actuator 325 is controlled to stop the rotation of the brake disc 100, and the above actions are repeated until all stepped holes 102 are polished, thus realizing the polishing operation of all stepped holes 102 without manpower and with higher efficiency.

[0110] S9. The brake disc 100 is rotated to its initial state by the flipping and rotating mechanism 32, and the clamping and fixing of the brake disc 100 is released. The brake disc 100 is then transported out of the cleaning chamber 11 by the conveying mechanism 5.

[0111] In step S9 above, the second flipping driver 322 drives the flipping frame 321 to rotate horizontally, and drives the brake disc 100 on the secondary processing station to flip, so that the brake disc 100 on the rotary table 323 remains on the horizontal turntable for easy transport; and the clamping driver 3244 drives the transmission gear 3242 to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the transmission gear 3242 can drive the clamping member 3243 meshing with the transmission gear 3242 to slide radially along the rotary table 323, and drive the transmission gear ring 3241 to rotate around its own axis. The rotation of the transmission gear ring 3241 can drive other transmission gears 3 242 rotates around its own axis, thereby driving other clamping parts 3243 to slide radially along the rotary table 323, so that each clamping part 3243 abutting against the inner wall of the brake disc 100 moves away from the brake disc 100, thereby releasing the clamping of the brake disc 100; the second conveyor table descends relative to the frame 1 until it is level with the height of the third conveyor table, and drives multiple transmission rollers to rotate through the transmission driver, thereby conveying the brake disc 100 on the second conveyor table to the third conveyor table outside the cleaning chamber 11, and stops the brake disc 100 in the storage position through the stop mechanism, waiting for the unloading operation.

[0112] S10. Determine whether the cleaned brake disc 100 has been flipped. If so, clamp and flip the brake disc 100 again through the clamping and flipping mechanism 31, and place the brake disc 100 in the storage station. If not, remove the brake disc 100 from the storage station.

[0113] In step S10 above, the operator visually observes or uses a vision mechanism (such as an image processing system, computer vision library, etc.) to determine whether the brake disc 100 has been flipped before the pre-processing operation. If so, the unloading platform 62 is raised by the unloading lifting driver 61, thereby lifting the brake disc 100 to a certain height. The brake disc 100 is then flipped a second time by the clamping and flipping mechanism 31 to ensure that the brake disc 100 is in the same state before and after cleaning, facilitating subsequent operations. If not, the brake disc 100 is directly lifted off the transport platform by a KBK crane to improve work efficiency. Furthermore, the lifting method in this embodiment is not limited, and those skilled in the art can make appropriate improvements based on the above technical solution, which will not be elaborated here.

[0114] The locomotive brake disc processing system of this embodiment can remove rust and dirt from the surface, inner hole, keyway 101, etc. of the brake disc 100, realizing fully automatic cleaning of brake discs of various types of locomotives. It reduces the safety hazards such as falling and collision caused by the reciprocating transportation and high-frequency flipping of the brake disc 100, avoids mechanical damage to the mounting surface and bolt holes of the brake disc 100, improves the overall cleaning quality of the brake disc 100, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and improves the efficiency of maintenance. It has a novel structure and ingenious design, and has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency, high degree of automation, low cost, environmental protection, light weight, safety and reliability, which is conducive to its promotion.
