[0050] Example 1

[0051] like Figures 1-3As shown, a polishing device for annular workpieces 27 includes a frame 1, on which a feeding assembly 2 and a discharging assembly 3 are mounted, and a polishing assembly 4, which includes a turntable 5 and a polishing component 6. The turntable 5 is mounted on the frame 1 and connected to a drive assembly 7, enabling circumferential rotation. Multiple notches 8 for accommodating workpieces 27 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the turntable 5. The feeding assembly 2 and the discharging assembly 3 are respectively positioned at two different notches 8. The rotational speed of the turntable 5 includes both a polishing speed and a discharging speed, with the polishing speed being greater than the discharging speed. The polishing component 6 is coaxially and fixedly mounted on the frame 1 outside the turntable 5, and is used to polish the outer circumference of the workpiece 27 as it rotates with the turntable 5.

[0052] By using a turntable 5 to position the workpiece 27, the turntable 5 can accommodate multiple workpieces 27 at the same time. Rotating the turntable 5 causes the workpiece 27 to move closer to the polishing part 6 under the action of centrifugal force. The polishing part 6 polishes the outer circumference of the workpiece 27 and can cause the workpiece 27 to rotate under the action of polishing resistance. After the turntable 5 rotates at high speed for multiple revolutions, the entire circumference of the outer ring of the workpiece 27 is polished. One turntable 5 can accommodate multiple workpieces 27 at the same time, and the positioning method is simple and the production efficiency is high.

[0053] The polishing component 6 includes a polishing ring 9 and side plates 10 disposed on both sides of the polishing ring 9. A sanding belt is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the polishing ring 9. The axis of the polishing component 6 is horizontal. The polishing component 6 includes a first arc segment 11 and a second arc segment 12. Both the first arc segment 11 and the second arc segment 12 are fixedly disposed on the frame 1. The inner diameter of the first arc segment 11 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second arc segment 12.

[0054] By changing the diameter of the two segments, the workpiece 27 can undergo a change in position during the high-speed rotation of the turntable 5, especially at the junction of the first arc segment 11 and the second arc segment 12, thereby further promoting the circumferential rotation of the workpiece 27 itself. After the turntable 5 rotates multiple times at high speed, the entire circumferential surface of the outer ring of the workpiece 27 can be polished.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the first arc segment 11 and the second arc segment 12 are fixedly connected at one end, and a feeding port 13 is provided between the other end of the first arc segment 11 and the second arc segment 12. The feeding assembly 2 is disposed at the feeding port 13. The feeding assembly 2 includes a feeding track 14 and a baffle 15. The feeding track 14 is inclined toward the feeding port 13. The baffle 15 is disposed between the feeding port 13 and the feeding track 14. The baffle 15 is connected to the piston rod of the feeding cylinder. The feeding cylinder is used to drive the baffle 15 to move, so that the feeding port 13 opens or closes.

The discharging cylinder 19 is fixedly arranged on the rack 1; the driving plate 20 is outwardly provided with a first connecting part 22, the first connecting part 22 is fixedly connected with the moving segment 17; and the conveying belt 21 is lower than the discharging port 18, and the conveying belt 21 is separately arranged on both sides of the turntable 5 with the discharging cylinder 19.

[0060] When the polishing is finished, the turntable 5 starts intermittent rotation at the discharging speed, the discharging cylinder 19 intermittently pushes the moving segment 17 away from the discharging port 18 along with the intermittent rotation of the turntable 5, so that the moving segment 17 intermittently takes the workpiece 27 away from the conveying belt 21, until all the workpieces 27 on the turntable 5 are finished discharging, then the moving segment 17 is reset by the retraction of the piston of the discharging cylinder 19, and then the feeding cylinder is started to open the feeding port 13, so that the workpieces 27 on the feeding track 14 are gradually moved into the notch 8 of the turntable 5, when the notch 8 of the turntable 5 is filled with the workpieces 27, the feeding port 13 is closed, and the turntable 5 starts high-speed rotation at the polishing speed for the next polishing.

[0063] After the workpiece 27 is polished, it is transmitted to the lower side of the visual detector 24 from the conveying belt 21, and the visual detector 24 detects the appearance of the workpiece 27, at this time, the workpiece 27 is still on the conveying belt 21, but the workpiece 27 cannot continue to be transmitted due to the existence of the displacement plate 26, so it can only rotate, so that the visual detector 24 can detect the polished surface of the single workpiece 27 at multiple angles, then the first discharging cylinder 23 pushes the workpiece 27 to move out of the conveying belt 21, and then the second discharging cylinder 25 pushes the workpiece 27 to move out of the polishing equipment.

[0067] S3: unloading, the rotating disc 5 rotates at an unloading speed and starts to rotate intermittently, the unloading cylinder 19 pushes the moving section 17 away from the unloading opening 18 intermittently along with the intermittent rotation of the rotating disc 5, so that the moving section 17 intermittently takes the workpiece 27 away and falls on the conveying belt 21, until all the workpieces 27 on the rotating disc 5 are unloaded, the piston of the unloading cylinder 19 retracts to reset the moving section 17;

[0068] S4: discharging, the workpiece 27 is polished and then unloaded to fall on the conveying belt 21, the conveying belt 21 transmits the workpiece 27 to below the visual detector 24, the visual detector 24 detects the appearance of the workpiece 27, at this time, the workpiece 27 is still on the conveying belt 21, but the workpiece 27 cannot continue to be transmitted due to the existence of the displacement plate 26, so the workpiece 27 rotates, the visual detector 24 detects the polished surface of the workpiece 27 at multiple angles, then the first discharging cylinder 23 pushes the workpiece 27 to move out of the conveying belt 21, and finally the second discharging cylinder 25 pushes the workpiece 27 to move out of the polishing device.
