Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of Chinese invention patent application filed on May 8, 2019, entitled "Spoiler Polishing Robot" and with application number 2019103823304. Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to a spoiler grinding device. Background Technology
[0003] The existing sanding system is suitable for sanding blow-molded products, with a large sanding surface and high sanding force, but inaccurate positioning. It is not suitable for injection-molded products that require high sanding results. The existing sanding system lacks versatility, and adjusting the product positioning method is cumbersome. After replacing the mold with different products, it requires a long time to readjust the positioning and reprogramming. The existing sanding system fixes products by screwing them in, which wastes operation time and is inconvenient for picking up and putting down products. Patent CN207971779U: An automatic sanding device for automotive spoilers, including a main frame, a fixture fixing component, a robot sanding component, a sandpaper changing component, and a dust collection cover. The sandpaper changing component is located on one side of the main frame, and multiple layers of sandpaper are stacked on the sandpaper changing component to automatically replace the sandpaper after the sandpaper on the sanding head wears out. The dust collection cover is located on the lower side of the fixture fixing component to collect sanding dust. The advantages of this invention are that it saves manpower, improves product quality stability, avoids safety hazards, improves the workshop environment, enhances factory automation, and features a compact grinding power equipment. The robot can grind all areas requiring grinding during its operation, and the system needs to have dustproof and noise-reducing functions. However, loading and unloading still requires a series of tedious actions such as tightening and loosening screws, and also necessitates readjusting angles. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a spoiler grinding device that eliminates the need for angle adjustments when loading new parts, offering strong product versatility. It provides precise grinding positioning, making it particularly suitable for injection-molded products requiring high grinding results; operation is convenient and time-saving.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this invention is to design a spoiler grinding device, including a worktable, a template detachably connected to the worktable, and a robot arm disposed on one side of the worktable. A grinding mechanism is disposed at the free end of the robot arm; the template is disposed on the worktable panel. The template and the worktable are detachably connected by screws or other means, and the template is replaced as a whole, thus ensuring that each product is equipped with a template, which guarantees the positioning accuracy of the ground product.
[0006] A further technical solution involves fixing the template to the worktable with bolts; the template and worktable are arranged from top to bottom; several vacuum suction cups are installed inside the template. The template has several through holes running vertically through it, and the vacuum suction cups are fixedly connected to the sidewalls of these holes via connecting rods. Multiple vacuum suction cups are connected in series via connecting pipes (adjacent vacuum suction cups are connected via connecting pipes, with one side of one vacuum suction cup connected to the previous one via a connecting pipe, and the other side connected to a vacuum pump via a connecting pipe). The template is equipped with a vacuum suction clamping device to fix the product to the template. The original grinding system fixed the product by screwing, which wasted operation time and made product handling inconvenient. The current grinding equipment uses vacuum suction cups to fix the product, and is automatically controlled by electrical automation. After grinding, the suction cups are released, and the product is lifted by the support at the bottom of the template. The operator only needs to remove the ground product, making operation convenient and saving time.
[0007] A further technical solution is that the worktable includes a base and a worktable panel rotatably mounted on the base. The worktable panel is rectangular, and two tilting rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the worktable panel. Each tilting rod is fixedly connected to a horizontal rotating shaft, which is located at the middle of the tilting rod and rotatably connected to a shaft hole in the base. The lower end of each tilting rod is connected to a tilting cylinder via a linkage mechanism, and the tilting cylinder is fixed to one side of the base. The linkage mechanism includes a first rod and a second rod. One end of the first rod is hinged to the tilting rod, and the other end of the first rod is hinged to one end of the second rod. The other end of the second rod is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the tilting cylinder.
[0008] A further technical solution involves fixing two positioning blocks on opposite sides of the base, opposite to the side of the tilting cylinder. These two positioning blocks are located on the rotation trajectory of the tilting rod and are set at a 90° angle. Each positioning block is also set at a 45° angle to the horizontal line. This configuration allows the tilting worktable to tilt at three positions. The tilting positioning is controlled by a fixed tilting angle on the worktable, and the tilting angle remains unchanged after replacing the template, eliminating the need for readjustment.
[0009] A further technical solution is to provide a groove on the product abutment surface of the mold, and to provide a spoiler lifting frame in the groove. A part of the spoiler lifting frame is located in the groove and the part located in the groove is lower than the groove opening. The part of the spoiler lifting frame not located in the groove is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder.
[0010] The process is as follows: The operator places the product on the worktable panel of the polishing table. After placement, the foot switch is pressed, and the vacuum suction cup secures the product. The automatic polishing start button is then pressed, and the robot begins polishing. The worktable automatically rotates according to the program, facilitating polishing from various angles. After polishing, the vacuum suction cup automatically releases, and the lifting fork (i.e., the spoiler lifting frame) under the mold lifts up to pick up the product. The operator then places a new product, removes the polished product, and places an unpolished product on top. The automatic polishing start button is then pressed again, and the process is repeated.
[0011] Another technical solution involves a detachable electromagnetic connection between the template and the worktable. The worktable includes a base and a worktable panel rotatably mounted on the base. The worktable panel is rectangular, with an angle steel-shaped limiting abutment fixed at one corner. Both plates of the angle steel-shaped limiting abutment are perpendicular to the worktable panel. The template has contour-following positioning protrusions that mate with the limiting abutment. This ensures a tight fit between the template and the worktable, improving the accuracy of the reference and enhancing the precision of template machining.
[0012] A further technical solution involves installing electromagnets on the two plates of the limiting abutment part. The two electromagnets are positioned on the rectangular end face of the limiting abutment part, and iron blocks that cooperate with the electromagnets are fixedly installed at corresponding positions on the contour positioning protrusion of the template. An angle steel-shaped inflatable bag, made of elastic rubber and fixedly connected to the limiting abutment part, is installed between the contour positioning protrusion and the limiting abutment part. This inflatable bag between the template and the worktable ensures a very high degree of parallelism between the contour positioning protrusion of the template and the limiting abutment part of the worktable after electromagnetic engagement is activated (contact between hard surfaces inevitably results in some points being very close and others being very far apart; the inflatable bag transforms this into contact with soft surfaces, improving parallelism).
[0013] The process is as follows: The operator places the product onto the worktable panel of the grinding table. Once in place, the electromagnet activates, ensuring the mold adheres firmly to the worktable. The operator then presses the foot switch, and the vacuum suction cup secures the product. The automatic grinding start button is pressed, and the robot begins grinding. The worktable automatically rotates according to the program, facilitating grinding at various angles. After grinding, the vacuum suction cup automatically releases, and the electromagnet deactivates. The lifting fork below the mold (i.e., the spoiler lifting frame) rises to pick up the product. The operator places a new product, then removes the ground product. After removing the product, an unground product is placed on top, and the automatic grinding start button is pressed again, repeating the process.
[0014] Another technical solution involves installing electromagnets on the two plates of the limiting abutment. The two electromagnets are positioned on the rectangular end face of the limiting abutment, and iron blocks that cooperate with the electromagnets are fixedly installed at corresponding positions on the contour positioning protrusion of the template. Two rectangular plate-shaped inflatable bags are positioned between the contour positioning protrusion and the limiting abutment, and the two inflatable bags are respectively fixedly connected to the two surfaces of the limiting abutment facing the contour positioning protrusion. The split design of the inflatable bags better ensures the uniform distribution of gas within the bags (air is sufficient for filling), and further improves the parallelism between the contour positioning protrusion of the template and the limiting abutment of the worktable.
[0015] Another technical solution is that the worktable includes a base and a worktable panel rotatably mounted on the base. The worktable panel is rectangular and has a through hole that passes through both sides of the worktable panel. An elastic rope is installed inside the through hole, with one end of the elastic rope fixedly connected to one side of the worktable panel and the other end of the elastic rope wrapping around the surface of the worktable panel and extending out after passing through the through hole. The end of the elastic rope extending out of the through hole is fixedly connected to a section of hard rubber strip with a toothed surface. A gear set is fixedly installed on the base near the hard rubber strip, and the output gear of the gear set meshes with the toothed surface of the hard rubber strip. A groove penetrating both sides of the template is provided in the middle of the template. The grinding mechanism includes a grinding head housing fixed to the free end of the robot arm. A grinding motor is fixedly installed inside the grinding head housing. Both ends of the motor shaft of the grinding motor extend out of the grinding head housing, and a grinding head is fixedly connected to one of the extended parts. The other extended part of the motor shaft is fixedly connected to the axle of the input gear of the gear set via a flexible shaft. With this setup, once the grinding head starts working, the rotational energy of the grinding motor will be transmitted to the gear set through the flexible shaft. Since the elastic rope only has a rack-like structure at its end, it can be ensured that the elastic rope remains at a certain tightness after being tightened for a certain distance. This allows the template to automatically fit tightly against the worktable panel after grinding begins, eliminating the need to fix the template with bolts or other means before grinding, thus improving work efficiency and automation.
[0016] The operation process is as follows: After the robotic arm starts working and the grinding head begins to rotate, the mechanical energy of the grinding motor shaft is transmitted to the gear set. This causes the hard rubber strip meshing with the output gear to move outward from the perforation, tightening the elastic rope (before processing begins, the groove of the template is set through the elastic rope so that the template is attached to the worktable panel). After the hard rubber strip is no longer meshed with the output gear, the elastic rope tends to tighten further, causing the hard rubber strip to move back (i.e., translate towards the perforation). However, since the grinding motor is constantly rotating, the output gear is also constantly rotating. Once... When the hard rubber strip approaches the output gear, it is "pushed" away from the perforation by the output gear. This ensures that a certain degree of tension (fixed tension distance of the rope) is maintained during grinding, and it is automatically maintained without manual operation. As long as the grinding head rotates, it will automatically tighten, which will enhance the fit between the template and the worktable, ensure the accuracy of the reference, and improve the grinding precision. To further enhance the fit between the template and the worktable, multiple elastic ropes and hard rubber strips can be set up in conjunction with the gear set. The bottom wall of the template groove can be equipped with multiple stepped recessed grooves to hold the elastic ropes.
[0017] The advantages and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The template is easy to replace; previously, adjusting the angle required to load a new part was necessary, but now the angle is fixed. The rotating worktable can rotate in three positions, and the rotation positioning is fixed by the worktable's rotation angle. Replacing the template does not change the rotation angle, eliminating the need for readjustment. The overall template replacement method enhances product versatility. Grinding positioning is precise, especially suitable for injection molded products requiring high grinding results. The baffle is fixed using a vacuum suction cup, automatically controlled by electrical automation. After grinding, the suction cup is released, and the product is lifted by the template's bottom support. Operators only need to remove the ground product, making operation convenient and time-saving. The template and worktable are detachably connected via screws, allowing for overall template replacement. This ensures each product has its own template, guaranteeing accurate positioning during grinding. The template is equipped with a suction cup vacuum clamping device to fix the product to the template. Previously, grinding systems fixed products using screws, wasting operation time and making product handling inconvenient. The existing grinding equipment uses vacuum suction cups to fix the product, and is automatically controlled by electrical automation. After grinding, the suction cups are released, and the product is lifted by the bottom support of the mold. The operator only needs to remove the ground product, which is convenient and saves time. The rotating worktable can rotate in three positions. The rotation positioning is controlled by the fixed rotation angle of the worktable. After replacing the mold, the rotation angle remains unchanged and does not need to be readjusted. An air bag is installed between the mold and the worktable. After the electromagnetic attraction is activated, it ensures that the contour positioning protrusion of the mold and the limiting abutment of the worktable maintain a very high degree of parallelism (the contact between hard surfaces inevitably results in some points being very close and others being very far apart. The air bag transforms this into a soft surface contact, improving parallelism). The air bag is designed as a split type, which further ensures the uniform distribution of gas within the air bag (the air bag is filled with air), further improving the parallelism between the contour positioning protrusion of the mold and the limiting abutment of the worktable. Once the grinding head starts working, the rotational energy of the grinding motor is transmitted to the gear set via a flexible shaft. Because the elastic rope has a rack-like structure at only one end, it maintains a certain level of tension after being tightened for a certain distance. This allows the template to automatically adhere to the worktable panel after grinding begins, eliminating the need to fix the template with bolts or other means before grinding, thus improving work efficiency and automation. The template is easy to replace; the product and template can be replaced as a whole (accommodating the processing of various products), overcoming the previous problem of needing to readjust the angle when mounting and dismounting parts. The flipping angle is fixed. Attached Figure Description
