Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to grinding equipment, and more particularly to a grinding equipment for the outer blades of a rotary razor. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary shavers are common household appliances. Their main structure consists of a fixed outer foil (foil cover) and rotating inner blades. During use, a motor rotates the inner blades at high speed, cutting the hair and beard that extend into the mesh of the outer foil. The fit and clearance between the inner and outer blades directly determines the shaver's performance and comfort. The grinding of the outer foil is one of the key technologies determining the quality of the shaver.

[0003] Grinding is an important machining method in ultra-precision machining, with advantages such as high machining accuracy and a wide range of workable materials. However, traditional manual grinding has disadvantages such as low processing efficiency, high processing cost, and unstable processing accuracy and quality, which limits its application to some extent.

[0004] Application number CN202111633355.0 discloses a grinding machine and grinding equipment for a rotary shaver mesh cover. The grinding machine includes a table, an upper spindle assembly, a lower spindle assembly, a workpiece fixture, and a control circuit. The lower spindle assembly is mounted on the table and includes a lower spindle driven by a first motor and a grinding fluid cylinder, with the grinding fluid cylinder fixed to the upper end of the lower spindle. The workpiece fixture is fixed to the top of the lower spindle and located within the inner cavity of the grinding fluid cylinder. The upper spindle assembly includes an upper spindle driven by a second motor, a grinding tool, and an upper spindle lifting mechanism. The grinding tool is mounted at the lower end of the upper spindle, directly above the workpiece fixture. This invention's rotary shaver mesh cover grinding equipment improves grinding efficiency and quality while reducing processing costs. However, the 20 grinding machines in this equipment require manual loading and unloading, resulting in low automation and high labor intensity for the operators. Summary of the Invention

The frame includes a machine cover (not shown) and a machine base 10, on which both sets of external blade grinding equipment are mounted. Each external blade grinding equipment includes a feeding mechanism 20, a loading mechanism 30, a unloading mechanism 70, a pick-and-place mechanism 50, a conveyor belt mechanism 60, five grinding mechanisms 40, and a discharge tray assembly 80. The two sets of external blade grinding equipment are symmetrically arranged on the machine base 10 with the X-axis as the axis of symmetry and along the Y-axis. Each set of external blade grinding equipment has its own feeding mechanism 20, loading mechanism 30, pick-and-place mechanism 50, conveyor belt mechanism 60, and five grinding mechanisms 40, but they share the feeding bracket 34 of the loading mechanism 30 and the unloading mechanism 70. The workpiece 01 to be processed is the external blade of a rotary razor.

[0043] The feeding mechanism 20 conveys the bowl-shaped workpiece 01 with its opening facing upwards to the loading mechanism 30.

The vibratory plate 21 and the vertical vibrator 22 are mounted on the machine base 10, and the conveying trough 23 is arranged along the X-axis.

[0044] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the feeding mechanism 30 includes a material distribution device 30A and a feeding device 30B. The material distribution device 30A is mounted on the machine base 10 and includes a material distribution block 31, a first linear guide pair 32, and a material distribution cylinder 33. The first linear guide pair 32 and the material distribution cylinder 33 are arranged along the Y-axis direction, and the guide rail of the first linear guide pair 32 and the material distribution cylinder 33 are fixed to the machine base 10 by a base 39. The material distribution block 31 is fixed on the slider of the first linear guide pair 32, and the piston rod of the material distribution cylinder 33 is connected to the material distribution block 31. The top surface of the material distribution block 31 has a receiving groove 311. The receiving groove 311 has a feed inlet 312 on the side facing the conveying groove 23. The material distribution block 31 includes a loading position and a unloading position along the Y-axis. When the material distribution block 31 is in the loading position, the feed inlet 312 of the receiving groove 311 is connected to the outlet of the vibrating plate 21 through the conveying groove.
