Description
A processing technology that facilitates traceability of die casting information Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automated processing technology, specifically relating to a processing technology that facilitates the traceability of die-casting information. Background Technology
[0002] In the machining industry, the processing requirements for gearbox parts are particularly high, and problems are prone to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately trace the parts from die casting to machining and gearbox assembly. Product traceability can reduce recall costs, identify the core of the problem and improvement solutions. By showcasing the product's production process and quality assurance measures, companies can establish a good image, enhance consumer trust in the brand, and improve market competitiveness. Moreover, in the automotive parts industry, there are clear requirements for product traceability. Implementing traceability helps companies meet regulatory requirements and operate in compliance with regulations.
[0003] In some parts of the gearbox, both the inside and outside of the blank need to be machined. After machining, the QR code information of the blank must be erased, making it very difficult to trace the die-casting information. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the machining process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a processing technology that facilitates the traceability of die casting information.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A processing device for facilitating traceability of die casting information includes a frame, an input end of which is equipped with a feeding servo slide and a feeding tray, and an output end of which is equipped with a discharging servo slide and a discharging tray.
[0007] The frame is equipped with a displacement mechanism, which includes an upright carriage mechanism and an inverted carriage mechanism. The displacement mechanism drives the upright carriage mechanism and the inverted carriage mechanism to move on the frame.
[0008] The output end of the upright car mechanism is equipped with a feeding fixture and an upright car turret. The upright car turret is installed on the side of the feeding fixture. The output end of the inverted car mechanism is equipped with an inverted car fixture.
[0009] The frame is equipped with an upright lathe fixture and an inverted lathe turret at a position between the loading servo slide and the unloading servo slide;
[0010] A processing technology that facilitates traceability of die-casting information includes the following steps:
[0011] S1. Loading materials:
[0012] The blank with the initial QR code is scanned by a barcode scanner and then entered into the system for backup. The blank is then loaded onto the loading tray.
[0013] S2, External Diameter Machining:
[0014] S2.1 The loading servo slide moves the loading tray to the working position of the uprighting mechanism;
[0015] S2.2 The uprighting mechanism operates, aligning the loading clamp with the loading pallet, and controlling the loading clamp to descend and grab the blank on the loading pallet, and then moving the blank onto the uprighting clamp;
[0016] S2.3 The upright lathe fixture fixes the blank and drives the blank to rotate. The upright lathe mechanism rotates the upright lathe turret to the working position. The upright lathe mechanism works with the upright lathe turret to process the outer circle of the blank. After the outer circle is processed, it returns to the safe position.
[0017] S3, Inner circle machining:
[0018] The inverted carriage mechanism operates to align the inverted carriage fixture with the upright carriage fixture, and controls the inverted carriage fixture to descend and grab the blank that has undergone outer diameter machining on the upright carriage fixture. Then, the blank is moved to the upper side of the inverted carriage turret. The inverted carriage fixture moves and drives the blank to rotate while descending, working in conjunction with the inverted carriage turret to machine the inner diameter of the blank. After the inner diameter machining is completed, it returns to a safe position.
[0019] S4. Material feeding:
[0020] The inverted lathe fixture drives the workpiece that has undergone internal machining to dock with the unloading servo slide, and then the workpiece is placed into the unloading tray, and the unloading servo slide drives the unloading tray to unload the workpiece;
[0021] S5, Encryption:
[0022] The initial QR code identified and backed up in step S1 is engraved onto the finished workpiece using a coding machine. Then, a new machined QR code is generated and engraved on the underside of the initial QR code, and then entered into the system backup.
[0023] Furthermore, the input end of the unloading servo slide is equipped with a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is equipped with a pushing mechanism. Because the inverted carriage clamp is for downward material feeding, when there is an error in the position of the inverted carriage clamp holding the billet, there is a possibility that the billet will impact the unloading servo slide. However, the lifting mechanism can achieve the purpose of receiving the billet, thereby preventing the problem of the lower end of the billet impacting the equipment. The pushing mechanism can push the material on the lifting mechanism into the unloading servo slide.
[0024] Furthermore, both the loading servo slide and the unloading servo slide are equipped with a tray return slide. This design facilitates the return of the loading tray and the unloading tray to the input ends of the loading servo slide and the unloading servo slide, respectively.
[0025] Furthermore, the feeding method in step S1 includes both manual feeding and automatic feeding, a design that ensures applicability.
[0026] Furthermore, the material feeding method in step S4 includes both manual feeding and automatic feeding, a design that ensures applicability.
[0027] Further specifying, in step S5, the marking information on the blank is a combination of the initial QR code and the machined QR code. This design has the problem of insufficient engraving range depending on the specifications of the blank, while the combination of the initial QR code and the machined QR code can reduce the engraving area.
[0028] The beneficial effects of using the present invention are as follows:
[0029] This invention identifies the initial QR code on the billet, and then, after machining, re-engraves the initial QR code and the machined QR code onto the billet. This enables traceability of the billet's raw quality and the billet's final quality, which helps reduce recall costs and identify the core problem and improvement solutions. Moreover, using this processing technology, there is no need to worry about the initial QR code being erased during machining, so precise program control is unnecessary and program debugging is easier.

Detailed Implementation
[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0036] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the processing equipment of the present invention that facilitates the traceability of die casting information includes a frame 1, a feeding servo slide 2 installed at the input end of the frame 1, a feeding tray 3 installed on the feeding servo slide 2, a discharging servo slide 4 installed at the output end of the frame 1, and a discharging servo slide 4 installed on the discharging servo slide 4.
[0037] The frame 1 is equipped with a displacement mechanism 6, which is equipped with an upright carriage mechanism 7 and an inverted carriage mechanism 8. The displacement mechanism 6 drives the upright carriage mechanism 7 and the inverted carriage mechanism 8 to move on the frame 1.
[0038] The output end of the upright car mechanism 7 is equipped with a feeding fixture 9 and an upright car turret 10. The upright car turret 10 is installed on the side of the feeding fixture 9. The output end of the inverted car mechanism 8 is equipped with an inverted car fixture 11.
[0039] The frame 1 is equipped with an upright car fixture 12 and an inverted car turret 13 at the position between the loading servo slide 2 and the unloading servo slide 4.
[0040] A processing technology that facilitates traceability of die-casting information includes the following steps:
[0041] S1. Loading materials:
[0042] After scanning the initial QR code on the blank, the QR code is entered into the system for backup, and then the blank is loaded onto the loading tray 3.
[0043] S2, External Diameter Machining:
[0044] S2.1 The feeding servo slide 2 drives the feeding tray 3 to move to the working position of the uprighting mechanism 7;
[0045] S2.2 The upright carriage mechanism 7 operates, aligning the loading clamp 9 with the loading pallet 3, and controlling the loading clamp 9 to descend and grab the blank on the loading pallet 3, and then moving the blank to the upright carriage clamp 12.
[0046] S2.3, The upright lathe fixture 12 runs to fix the blank and drive the blank to rotate. The upright lathe mechanism 7 runs to rotate the upright lathe turret 10 to the working position. The upright lathe mechanism 7 runs in conjunction with the upright lathe turret 10 to process the outer circle of the blank. After the outer circle is processed, it returns to the safe position.
[0047] S3, Inner circle machining:
[0048] The inverted carriage mechanism 8 operates, aligning the inverted carriage fixture 11 with the upright carriage fixture 12, and controlling the inverted carriage fixture 11 to descend and grab the blank that has undergone outer diameter machining on the upright carriage fixture 12. Then, the blank is moved to the upper side of the inverted carriage turret 13. The inverted carriage fixture 11 moves and drives the blank to rotate while descending, cooperating with the inverted carriage turret 13 to machine the inner diameter of the blank. After the inner diameter is machined, it returns to the safe position.
[0049] S4. Material feeding:
[0050] The inverted machine fixture 11 drives the workpiece that has undergone internal machining to dock with the unloading servo slide 4, and then puts the workpiece into the unloading tray 5. The unloading servo slide 4 drives the unloading tray 5 to unload the workpiece.
[0051] S5, Encryption:
[0052] The initial QR code identified and backed up in step S1 is engraved onto the finished workpiece using a coding machine. Then, a new machined QR code is generated and engraved on the underside of the initial QR code, and then entered into the system backup.
[0053] In this implementation case, when using a processing technology that facilitates traceability of die-casting information, the blanks with their own initial QR codes are simply referred to as blanks and billets, but are uniformly placed on the loading tray 3. It should be noted that if the blank does not have an initial QR code, an initial QR code can be engraved using a coding machine before it is placed on the loading tray 3. Furthermore, the initial QR code can be identified during the loading process, either by the loading tray 3 moving along the loading servo slide 2 or by identifying it before the blank is placed on the loading tray 3. The identification is adapted according to the installation position of the coding machine, with the aim of recording the initial QR code of the blank into the system for backup.
[0054] The displacement mechanism 6 operates, driving the upright carriage mechanism 7 to move above the loading tray 3. Then, the loading clamp 9 on the upright carriage mechanism 7 moves downward to grab the blank with the initial QR code already entered on the loading tray 3 and move it to a safe position. Then, the displacement mechanism 6 operates, driving the upright carriage mechanism 7 to carry the blank grabbed by the loading clamp 9 to the upper side of the upright carriage clamp 12. After placing the blank on the upper side of the upright carriage clamp 12, it returns to the safe position. After the upright carriage clamp 12 fixes the blank, it drives the blank to rotate. Then, the upright carriage mechanism 7 operates, causing the upright carriage turret 10 to rotate to the working position. The upright carriage turret 10 contacts the rotating blank, which can achieve the purpose of machining the outer circle of the blank. The machining of the outer circle will destroy the initial QR code, but since the initial QR code was entered into the system before, it does not need to be worried. After the outer circle is machined, the equipment involved in the outer circle machining returns to the safe position.
[0055] The upright lathe fixture 12 stops rotating, and the inverted lathe mechanism 8 operates, aligning the inverted lathe fixture 11 with the upper side of the upright lathe fixture 12. Then, the inverted lathe fixture 11 descends to grab the blank that has undergone outer diameter machining on the upright lathe fixture 12, and then moves the blank to the upper side of the inverted lathe turret 13. The inverted lathe fixture 11 moves and drives the blank to rotate while descending. The rotating blank contacts the inverted lathe turret 13 to achieve the purpose of inner diameter machining of the blank. After the inner diameter machining is completed, the inverted lathe fixture 11 moves the machined workpiece to a safe position.
[0056] Then the inverted fixture 11 moves the workpiece to the upper side of the unloading servo slide 4, and then puts the workpiece into the unloading tray 5, which is then unloaded by the unloading servo slide 4.
[0057] The initial QR code, which has been identified and backed up, is engraved onto the finished workpiece using a coding machine. Then, a new machining QR code is generated and engraved on the underside of the initial QR code. This code is then entered into the system for backup. To further explain, similar to the identification method of the initial QR code during loading, the engraving of the workpiece machining QR code can be achieved within the area where the unloading tray 5 moves on the unloading servo slide 4, or it can be achieved after the workpiece leaves the unloading servo slide 4, depending on the installation position of the coding machine, thereby maximizing the installation space of the equipment.
[0058] In summary, by performing initial QR code recognition and backup before blank processing, and engraving the initial QR code and machining QR code on the finished workpiece, traceability of workpiece blank and machining information can be achieved, which is beneficial for finding the core of the problem and improvement solutions later.
[0059] The preferred unloading servo slide 4 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 14 at its input end, and a pushing mechanism 15 is installed on the lifting mechanism 14. Because the inverted carriage clamp 11 feeds the material downwards, if there is an error in the position of the inverted carriage clamp 11 holding the billet, the billet may impact the unloading servo slide 4. The lifting mechanism 14 can then be used to pick up the billet, thus preventing the lower end of the billet from impacting the equipment. The pushing mechanism 15 can push the material on the lifting mechanism 14 into the unloading servo slide 4. In practice, measures to prevent mechanical collisions can also be considered depending on the specific circumstances.
[0060] It is preferred that both the loading servo slide 2 and the unloading servo slide 4 are equipped with a material tray return slide 16. This design facilitates the return of the loading tray 3 and the unloading tray 5 to the input end of the loading servo slide 2 and the input end of the unloading servo slide 4. In fact, measures to facilitate the return of the loading tray 3 and the unloading tray 5 to their initial positions can also be considered depending on the specific circumstances.
[0061] The preferred feeding method in step S1 includes manual feeding and automatic feeding. This design ensures applicability. In fact, the feeding method can also be considered according to specific circumstances.
[0062] The preferred material feeding method in step S4 includes manual feeding and automatic feeding. This design ensures applicability. In fact, the material feeding method can also be considered according to specific circumstances.
[0063] In the preferred step S5, the coding information on the blank is a combination of the initial QR code and the machined QR code. This design has the problem of insufficient engraving range depending on the specifications of the blank. The combination of the initial QR code and the machined QR code can reduce the engraving area. In fact, the information engraving method can also be considered according to the specific situation.
[0064] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
