Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cutting edge technology, and in particular to a cutting edge device for metal cutting tools that enables automatic loading and unloading. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of metal processing, the cutting edge preparation of metal cutting tools is a crucial step in the tool manufacturing process. Its processing accuracy and efficiency directly affect the quality and cost of subsequent metal cutting operations. Currently, most existing metal cutting edge preparation equipment on the market is only semi-automated.

[0003] From a structural perspective, these semi-automated machines often require additional manual labor or robotic arms for loading and unloading operations. On one hand, when manual loading and unloading is used, sufficient space must be reserved around the equipment to ensure operator safety. Furthermore, the raw material storage area, processing area, and finished product storage area must be rationally laid out to facilitate worker access to and placement of tools, leading to a continuous increase in the overall footprint of the equipment. In the current climate of rising factory rents, excessive space occupation undoubtedly increases production costs for businesses. On the other hand, if robotic arms are used to assist with loading and unloading, the extension and retraction of the robotic arm itself requires a large area of ​​uninterrupted space. Its mounting base, control lines, and pneumatic pipelines also occupy considerable space, making the overall layout of the equipment more loose and further increasing the footprint.

[0004] More critically, there's the issue of loading and unloading speed. Manual loading and unloading is limited by worker skill, physical strength, and endurance, making it difficult to maintain a high-speed, stable operating rhythm for extended periods. After prolonged work, workers easily become fatigued, slowing down their operation and potentially leading to errors that affect the accuracy of loading and unloading. While robotic arms can operate stably according to predetermined programs, their complex programming and lack of flexibility in adjusting to frequent changes in production tasks involving different tool specifications result in lengthy adjustments, preventing a significant improvement in loading and unloading speed. This sluggish loading and unloading speed directly slows down the entire cutting edge machining process. In the manufacturing environment that prioritizes high-efficiency production and rapid delivery, existing semi-automated equipment is increasingly unable to meet the urgent needs of enterprises for increased production capacity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a metal tool cutting edge machine with a completely new structural design, eliminating the drawbacks of manual or robotic arm loading and unloading, achieving a compact layout and high-speed loading and unloading, thereby comprehensively improving the processing efficiency of metal tool cutting edges.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] Significant breakthroughs have been achieved in automation, with automatic supply of cutting tools and automatic unloading functions. This completely eliminates the traditional model of relying on manual or robotic arms for loading and unloading, thus eliminating the need to reserve spacious areas for manual operation or to make room for robotic arms and their accessories. This allows for more efficient use of factory space and directly reduces the company's site costs.

[0018] In terms of loading and unloading speed, the tool feeding mechanism can stack multiple tools to be processed at once. Through the ingenious cooperation of the tool pushing cylinder and the tool positioning cylinder, the tools to be processed can be quickly and accurately transported to the processing position one by one, providing a stable and continuous supply of tools for the processing stage. The clamping cylinder drives the clamping fixture to quickly clamp the tools to be processed, laying a solid foundation for the cutting edge processing, saving a lot of time lost due to the lack of familiarity with manual operation and the time-consuming adjustment of the robot arm. The overall loading and unloading rhythm is compact and orderly, and the continuity of the processing flow is greatly enhanced.

[0019] The machining accuracy is also better guaranteed by the fine design. The tool positioning cylinder accurately clamps both ends when the tool is pushed into place, and is firmly fixed with the pressure mechanism, so that the tool is as stable as a rock when grinding with the grinding wheel. The position and size deviation of the tooth edge can be strictly controlled, and the quality of the produced tools is more reliable and uniform.

[0020] In addition, by cleverly utilizing the coolant nozzle, coolant is sprayed in a timely manner during processing to quickly cool the tool in high temperature, effectively avoiding problems such as changes in material properties and accelerated wear caused by overheating, thus extending the tool's service life. After processing, the impact force of the coolant is cleverly used to smoothly push out the finished tool through the stripping notch. The stripping process is clean and efficient, and avoids scratches and damage that may be caused by the involvement of additional mechanical structures.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-7 In this embodiment of the invention, a metal cutting tool tooth-cutting device for automatic loading and unloading is proposed. It is used to perform tooth-cutting processing on one side of the cutting tool to be processed. It has the functions of automatically supplying the cutting tool to be processed and automatically unloading the processed cutting tool. It includes a frame 10, a water tank 11 installed on the frame 10, a cutting tool fixed-point supply unit and a grinding wheel grinding unit 20 connected to the cutting tool fixed-point supply unit installed in the water tank 11. The cutting tool fixed-point supply unit includes a stripping linear module 12 installed in the water tank 11, a push base 13 poweredly connected to the stripping linear module 12, a cutting tool transfer processing chute 30 fixedly installed on the push base 13 and corresponding to the grinding wheel grinding unit 20, a cutting tool feeding mechanism 40 installed on the cutting tool transfer processing chute 30, a cutting tool clamping mechanism 50 installed on the push base 13 and connected to the cutting tool transfer processing chute 30, and a coolant nozzle 14 installed on the push base 13 and acting on the cutting tool transfer processing chute 30.

[0034] The stripping linear module 12 is used to drive all the mechanisms on the tool fixed-point supply unit to perform forward and backward operations, thereby enabling the tool transfer processing slide 30 to move forward to engage with the grinding wheel unit 20, and move backward to move away from the grinding wheel unit 20.

[0035] The push base 13 is used to support the tool transfer and processing slide 30, the tool feeding mechanism 40, the tool clamping mechanism 50 and the coolant nozzle 14, and can also catch the tool after processing, so as to ensure that the tool will not fall into the stripping linear module 12. The tool transfer and processing slide 30 is used to place the tool to be processed, and also provides a processing position to fix the tool to be processed, so that the grinding wheel unit 20 can perform tooth cutting operation on the tool to be processed on the tool transfer and processing slide 30.

[0036] The tool feeding mechanism 40 is used to stack multiple tools to be processed at one time, and can move the stacked tools to the corresponding positions one by one for processing by the grinding wheel unit 20.

[0037] The tool clamping mechanism 50 serves to clamp the tool to be processed, so that the tool to be processed is moved to the designated position and clamped, ensuring that the tool to be processed is firmly held in the designated position for tooth cutting.

[0038] The coolant nozzle 14 is used to spray coolant onto the cutting tool during machining to cool it. After machining is completed and the tool clamping mechanism 50 retracts, the impact of the coolant pushes the machined tool out and transfers it to the machining chute 30, thus achieving the purpose of material removal. The coolant sprayed from the coolant nozzle 14 flows into the water tank 11. A wastewater circulation system can be connected to the water tank 11 to recover waste generated from the cutting edge and ensure the recycling of the coolant.

[0039] The tool transfer machining chute 30 is provided with a tool machining part 31 and a tool placement part 32. By applying a thrust along the sliding direction of the tool transfer machining chute 30, the tool to be machined on the tool placement part 32 can be directionally moved along the tool transfer machining chute 30 to the tool machining part 31.

[0040] The tool feeding mechanism 40 includes a tool stacking rack 41, a tool pushing cylinder 42, and a tool positioning cylinder 43. The tool stacking rack 41 is installed on the tool placement part 32 and is used to stack multiple tools to be processed. The multiple tools to be processed are discharged along the lower end of the tool stacking rack 41. A gap corresponding to the thickness of one tool to be processed is set between the lower end of the tool stacking rack 41 and the tool placement part 32. Through gravity, after each tool to be processed is pushed out from this gap, the tools in the tool stacking rack 41 will continue to expose another tool to be processed due to their own gravity. By repeatedly pushing the exposed tools, the operation of continuously pushing out tools to be processed along the tool placement part 32 can be achieved. The pushing of the tools to be processed is carried out by... The tool pushing cylinder 42 is used to push the tool to be processed between the tool stacking rack 41 and the tool placement part 32 along the tool transfer processing slide 30 to the tool processing part 31. The tool positioning cylinder 43 is used in conjunction with the tool pushing cylinder 42 to clamp and position the two ends of the tool to be processed pushed to the tool processing part 31. That is, during the process of pushing the tool to be processed to the tool processing part 31, the tool pushing cylinder 42 and the tool positioning cylinder 43 operate together. The tool pushing cylinder 42 mainly pushes the tool to be processed, while the tool positioning cylinder 43 is used to finally hold the tool to be processed pushed to the tool processing part 31, so that the tool to be processed can be accurately supplied to the tool processing part 31.

[0041] The tool clamping mechanism 50 includes a clamping fixture 51 connected to the tool processing part 31 and a clamping cylinder 52 that drives the clamping fixture 51 to perform clamping and loosening operations. When the tool to be processed moves to the tool processing part 31, the clamping cylinder 52 is driven to clamp and fix the tool to be processed on the tool processing part 31 through the clamping fixture 51, thus completing the fixation of the tool to be processed before processing.

[0042] The tool transfer machining chute 30 has a material removal notch 33 at the front end of the tool machining part 31. The coolant nozzle 14 is also used to push the tool to be processed to be discharged along the material removal notch 33. The grinding wheel unit 20 is equipped with an electrically driven tooth grinding wheel 21. The tool transfer machining chute 30 is pushed by the material removal linear module 12 to make the material removal notch 33 approach or move away from the tooth grinding wheel 21.

[0043] The stripping notch 33 is designed to allow the grinding wheel to enter the tool transfer and machining chute 30 along the stripping notch 33 to perform the tooth-sharpening operation on the tool to be machined. On the other hand, it is also designed to strip the machined tool from the stripping notch 33 after machining. The stripping is propelled by the coolant sprayed by the coolant nozzle 14, which flows out along the stripping notch 33 with the coolant and falls into the push base 13 or the water tank 11 to complete the stripping operation. If necessary, a positioning part can be provided on the push base 13, and a storage basket 16 can be positioned on the positioning part to collect the machined tool that falls from the stripping notch 33, so that the operators can take out the machined tool in a unified manner later.

[0044] Its working principle is as follows:

[0045] After the equipment is started, the tool feeding mechanism 40 located in the tool positioning supply unit operates first. Multiple tools to be processed are pre-stacked on the tool stacking rack 41. Relying on gravity, the bottom tool falls to the distance reserved between itself and the tool placement area 32. At this time, the tool pushing cylinder 42 applies force along the tool conveying and processing slide 30, pushing the tool towards the tool processing area 31. During this process, the tool positioning cylinder 43 operates synchronously, abutting the tool from both ends to assist in precise positioning until the tool reaches the tool processing area 31 steadily. Next, the tool clamping mechanism 50 intervenes. The clamping cylinder 52 drives the clamping fixture 51 to move towards the tool processing area 31, tightly clamping the tool and fixing it firmly in the designated position, preparing it for subsequent tooth-cutting processing. Simultaneously, the stripping linear module 12 begins operation, driving the push base 13, which carries all the mechanisms, forward and propelling the tool transfer machining chute 30 closer to the grinding wheel unit 20 until the stripping notch 33 precisely aligns with the tooth-grinding grinding wheel 21. After alignment, the electrically driven tooth-grinding grinding wheel 21 rotates at high speed, performing tooth-cutting machining on the tool to be processed on the tool processing section 31. Meanwhile, the coolant nozzle 14 continuously sprays coolant throughout the machining process, carrying away the heat generated during processing, maintaining a suitable tool temperature, and ensuring machining accuracy and tool performance. Once the tooth-cutting machining is complete, the stripping linear module 12 drives the push base 13, carrying the tool transfer machining chute 30, backward, away from the grinding wheel unit 20. Subsequently, the pressure cylinder 52 of the tool clamping mechanism 50 drives the pressure fixture 51 to release the tool. The coolant sprayed from the coolant nozzle 14 carries the processed tool and uses the impact force of the coolant itself to drive the tool to slide out along the unloading notch 33 at the front end of the tool conveying processing chute 30. Finally, the processed tool either falls into the push base 13 or into the water tank 11, achieving automatic unloading. Thus, a complete metal tool tooth cutting cycle is successfully completed, and the equipment can start the next round of processing.

[0046] The above technical solution has achieved a major breakthrough in automation, with the functions of automatically supplying cutting tools and automatically unloading materials. It completely eliminates the traditional mode of relying on manual or robotic arms for loading and unloading, thus eliminating the need to reserve spacious space for manual operation or to make room for robotic arms and their auxiliary devices. This allows for more efficient use of factory space and directly reduces the company's site costs.

[0047] Regarding the loading and unloading speed, the tool feeding mechanism 40 can stack multiple tools to be processed at once. Through the ingenious cooperation of the tool pushing cylinder 42 and the tool positioning cylinder 43, the tools to be processed can be quickly and accurately transported to the processing position one by one, stably and continuously supplying the tools to be processed for the processing stage. The pressing cylinder 52 drives the pressing fixture 51 to quickly press the tools to be processed, laying a solid foundation for the cutting edge processing, saving a lot of time lost due to the lack of familiarity with manual operation and the time-consuming adjustment of the robot arm. The overall loading and unloading rhythm is compact and orderly, and the continuity of the processing flow is greatly enhanced.

[0048] The machining accuracy is also better guaranteed by the fine design. The tool positioning cylinder 43 accurately clamps both ends when the tool is pushed into place, and is firmly fixed with the pressure mechanism, so that the tool is as stable as a rock when grinding with the grinding wheel. The position and size deviation of the tooth edge can be strictly controlled, and the quality of the produced tools is more reliable and uniform.

[0049] In addition, by cleverly utilizing the coolant nozzle 14, coolant is sprayed in a timely manner during processing to quickly cool the tool in high temperature, effectively avoiding problems such as changes in material properties and accelerated wear caused by overheating, and extending the tool's service life. After processing, the impact force of the coolant is cleverly used to smoothly push out the finished tool with the help of the stripping notch 33. The stripping process is clean and efficient and avoids scratches and damage that may be caused by the involvement of additional mechanical structures.

[0050] Please see Figure 2-5This embodiment further proposes that the two ends of the tool transfer machining slide 30 are designed as a through structure. The tool pushing cylinder 42 and the tool positioning cylinder 43 are respectively installed at both ends of the tool transfer machining slide 30. A tongue 44 is connected to the piston end of both the tool pushing cylinder 42 and the tool positioning cylinder 43, inserting along both ends of the tool transfer machining slide 30. In terms of space utilization, the layout is optimized, avoiding component stacking, making the equipment structure more compact, freeing up more valuable space, facilitating subsequent upgrades and modifications, and reducing site costs. Regarding accuracy, the cylinders at both ends work in concert, and the tongue 44 exerts force from different directions, steadily "escorting" the tool to be processed along a straight line, accurately positioning it, significantly reducing tool deviation, significantly improving the accuracy of the cutting edge, and ensuring the uniformity of tool quality. During maintenance and repair, the modular layout at both ends provides maintenance personnel with ample operating space, making fault diagnosis faster, and facilitating the repair and replacement of vulnerable parts, greatly shortening downtime and maintaining production continuity. In terms of service life, the tongue 44 distributes the force, avoiding excessive stress concentration, making the wear of components more uniform, reducing aging and deformation, lowering maintenance costs, and significantly enhancing the durability of the equipment. In addition, in order to push the tool to be processed out of the tool stack 41 more efficiently and accurately, a baffle cylinder 45 is installed in the vertical direction of the tool transfer and processing chute 30, which is connected to the tool placement part 32. The piston end of the baffle cylinder 45 is connected to the insert 46, and the lower end of the tool stack 41 has an insertion port 47 that is connected to the insert 46. The insert 46 is used to insert into the tool stack 41 along the insertion port 47 and then block the tool to be processed from exiting the tool stack 41. When the tool pushing cylinder 42 and the positioning cylinder are not yet ready to receive a new tool, the material blocking cylinder 45 drives the insert 46 to insert into the tool stacking rack 41 along the insertion port 47, immediately cutting off the output path of the tool to be processed. This prevents the tongue 44 from simultaneously blocking two tools when it comes into contact with the tool to be processed, and also prevents the tool stacking rack 41 from being impacted when it pushes two tools to be processed. That is, the lower end of the tool stacking rack 41 is only spaced for one tool to be processed. However, if the tool pushing cylinder 42 blocks two tools to be processed at the same time, it will cause a certain impact force on the lower end of the tool stacking rack 41. Therefore, the setting of the insert 46 can prevent the tool from accidentally slipping and interfering with the established processing flow, effectively ensuring the precise rhythm of the coordinated operation of each component, and avoiding potential faults such as collisions and misalignments caused by premature material output.

[0051] Please see Figure 5-7 This embodiment further proposes that the tool transfer machining chute 30 is equipped with a replaceable adapter strip 34. The depth of the tool transfer machining chute 30 can be adjusted by replacing the adapter strip 34, so as to adapt to the machining of tools of different thicknesses.

[0052] Please see Figure 6-7This embodiment further proposes that the pressure fixture 51 includes a pressure plate 511 that cooperates with the tool processing part 31 and a hinge seat 512 that is fixed on the push base 13 and hinged to the pressure plate 511. The piston end of the pressure cylinder 52 is hinged to the tail of the pressure plate 511, so that when the pressure cylinder 52 is driven, the front end of the pressure plate 511 can be flipped along the hinge seat 512 to be close to the tool processing part 31 or to be far away from the tool processing part 31. It uses the lever principle to achieve the purpose of pressing. The front end of the pressure plate 511 is generally provided with a certain buffer pad. When pressing down the tool to be processed, the buffer pad is used to press the tool to be processed. The pressure fixture 51 designed with the lever mechanism ensures the firmness of the pressing of the tool to be processed.

[0053] Please see Figure 2-4 In this embodiment, an inclined seat 15 is provided on the push base 13, and the tool transfer processing slide 30 is fixedly installed on the inclined seat 15 to maintain a forward inclined state. The tool clamping mechanism 50 is installed on the inclined seat 15. Through this inclined setting, the tool to be processed can fall out of the unloading notch 33 more smoothly during unloading, and the tooth grinding wheel 21 can better contact the tool to be processed.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment further proposes that the grinding wheel unit 20 also includes a rotating shaft fixing seat 22 disposed on the water tank 11, a power shaft 23 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft fixing seat 22, and a power motor 24 fixedly installed on the water tank 11 and drivenly connected to the power shaft 23. The power shaft 23 is parallel to and corresponds to the front of the tool transfer processing slide 30, and the tooth-cutting grinding wheel 21 is fixedly installed on the power shaft 23. This structure is simple in design and can install tooth-cutting grinding wheels 21 of different thicknesses along the power shaft 23. According to the length of the tool to be processed and the number of teeth to be cut, different tooth-cutting grinding wheels 21 of different structures can be replaced on the power shaft 23 to meet different tooth-cutting requirements, making the equipment more flexible in cutting teeth of different sizes and structures.

[0055] Please see Figure 1This embodiment further proposes installing a hand-cranked transverse linear module 17 and a hand-cranked lifting linear module 18 in the water tank 11. The stripping linear module 12 is installed on the hand-cranked transverse linear module 17, and the rotating shaft fixing seat 22 is installed on the hand-cranked lifting linear module 18. Operators can easily fine-tune the position of the stripping linear module 12 by hand-cranking, without complex tools or professional skills, to adapt to the processing needs of different specifications of cutting tools in the transverse direction, thus broadening the equipment's versatility. Similarly, installing the rotating shaft fixing seat 22 on the hand-cranked lifting linear module 18 allows the height of the tooth-grinding wheel 21 to be adjusted manually as needed. Whether using thin or thick cutting tools, or for position compensation after wheel wear, the height can be quickly and accurately changed, optimizing the contact state between the wheel and the cutting tool. This not only reduces the difficulty of equipment debugging but also reduces downtime caused by frequent tool or wheel replacements, making the entire tooth-grinding process smoother and more efficient.

[0056] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within the present invention.
