The alarm module is used for alarm prompts, and is checked and replaced by the staff.

[0049] Processing method of sprocket processing equipment with loading and unloading functions:

[0050] Step 1: Program settings.

[0051] Specifically, the staff sets the operating parameters on the console according to the requirements of the sprocket finished product to be processed, including processing sequence, selected workstations, temperature limits, counting warning values, etc.

[0052] Step 2: Loading and processing sprocket raw materials.

[0053] Specifically, the sprocket material unloaded from the previous production process is placed on the conveyor belt 2, and passes through the detection device 7 on the leftmost side of the conveyor belt 2 to scan the surface and temperature, and feedback is given to the image acquisition and recognition module and the temperature acquisition module. When the image acquisition module recognizes that the raw material is deformed or the actual temperature of the raw material collected by the temperature acquisition module is higher than the temperature limit, the sprocket will not be loaded to ensure that the processed sprocket product can meet the production requirements. For the sprocket raw material that is not deformed and whose temperature is lower than the temperature limit, the robot arm 3 places the sprocket raw material on the spring jacket 1 92 or the rotating disk 93 or the spring jacket 2 64 of the fixed component 9 to fix its position.

[0054] Processing method 1 of processing section 14 and processing section 25: When the processing equipment places the raw material on spring jacket 1 92 according to the set processing parameters, the control module controls motor 4 91 to start, drives the rotating disk 93 to rotate, and then drives the spring jacket 1 92 to rotate. The control module adjusts the processing position of the tool clamping head by controlling motor 1 of processing section 14 to start, adjusts the up and down movement of the tool clamping head by controlling motor 3 to start, and then replaces tool 1 422 on the tool clamping head with tool 1 422 on the cutter disc 421 through the tool changing assembly 42, so as to complete the turning, grinding and other processing of the sprocket surface;

[0055] When the raw material is placed on the chuck 94, the control module controls the motor 4 91 to start, drives the rotating disk 93 to rotate, and then drives the chuck 94 to rotate, controls the motor 5 to start the moving block 1 51 to move left and right on the limit rod, and adjusts the processing position. When the tool 2 53 is used for processing, the inner ring of the sprocket raw material can be turned or the countersink can be bored. When the tool 3 55 is used, the surface of the sprocket raw material can be turned or the burrs on the sprocket surface can be removed;

[0056] Processing method 2 of processing section 1 4 and processing section 2 5: When the processing equipment places the raw material on spring clamping sleeve 1 92 according to the set processing parameters, the control module starts the control motor 2 43 to control the rotation of the tool clamping head, and adjusts the processing position of the tool clamping head by controlling the motor 1 of processing section 1 4 to start, and adjusts the up and down movement of the tool clamping head by controlling the motor 3 to start, and then replaces the tool 1 422 on the tool clamping head with the tool 1 422 on the cutter disc 421 through the tool changing assembly 42, so as to complete the cutting and grinding of the sprocket teeth and the through-hole processing of the sprocket surface;

[0057] The processing method of the processing part three 6 is as follows: when the raw material is placed on the spring jacket two 64, the control module controls the motor eight to start and drive the spring jacket two 64 to rotate, adjust the angle of the processing position of the sprocket raw material, control the motor seven to start and drive the slider two 63 to move up and down, adjust the processing position of the sprocket raw material, control the pneumatic drive on the moving block two 62 to start, drive the moving block two 62 to move left and right on the limit rod, thereby adjusting the processing depth, and processing holes or threaded holes on the sprocket surface.

[0058] When the processing method one of the processing part one 4 and the processing part two 5 is selected, the processing part one 4 and the processing part two 5 can be processed at the same time or only the processing part one 4 or only the processing part two 5 can be used for processing. The processing method one and the processing method two of the processing part one 4 and the processing part two 5 can be carried out simultaneously with the processing part three 6, so that two or three groups of sprockets with different parameters, or sprockets with the same parameters but different links can be processed at the same time, which simplifies the processing flow and improves the processing efficiency.

[0059] Step 3: Cutting and testing.

[0060] Specifically, the processed sprocket is removed by the robot arm 3 and placed on the conveyor belt 2 between the left and middle detection devices 7. The image acquisition and recognition module identifies whether the raw material is deformed and whether there are burrs on the processed edge. The temperature acquisition module collects the actual temperature of the finished product. If the actual temperature is higher than the warning temperature but there is no deformation, the conveyor belt 2 continues to be conveyed, and the temperature sensor 72 on the right detection device 7 detects the temperature. If the temperature drops below the warning value at this time, the control module does not operate. If it does not drop below the warning value, it is fed back to the control module, and the control module reduces the running speed of the conveyor belt 2 to extend the cooling time of the finished product.

[0061] If the actual temperature is higher than the warning temperature and there is deformation, it is caused by too fast rotation speed during processing. The counting module performs continuous counting. When the continuous counting reaches the counting warning value, it is fed back to the control module. The control module controls the motor 2 43 in the processing part 1 4, the motor 4 91 of the fixed component 9, and the motor 6 61 of the processing part 3 6 used in the processing to reduce the rotation speed, thereby reducing the processing speed. At the same time, it is fed back to the alarm module, and the staff checks and replaces the tool 1 422, the tool 2 53 and the tool 3 55 to avoid deformation and temperature rise caused by Chi Xun processing;

[0062] If the actual temperature is lower than the warning value but there is deformation, the counting module performs continuous counting. When the continuous counting reaches the counting warning value, it is fed back to the control module. The control module controls the motor 2 43 in the processing part 1 4, the motor 4 91 of the fixing component 9, and the motor 6 61 of the processing part 3 6 used in the processing to reduce the rotation speed, thereby reducing the processing speed and avoiding deformation;

[0063] If the actual temperature is lower than the warning value and there is no deformation, it is a normal situation and the control module does not operate.

[0064] Through the above steps, the processed sprocket raw materials and products can be automatically loaded and unloaded in a standardized manner, and a variety of processing methods can be used through automatic tool changing. Processing section 1 4, processing section 2 5, and processing section 3 6 can form a variety of processing methods and perform them simultaneously, and can process three sprockets in three different states at the same time, and meet the production requirements of each link of the sprocket, with high production efficiency.
