[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic equipment, and in particular to a fully automatic mechanism for cutting a clay blank bottle mouth and a cutting method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the body of a ceramic wine bottle blank is formed by hollow injection molding using a gypsum mold, and the mouth of the clay blank is formed by rolling using a gypsum mold. After the two are formed, they are bonded to form a ceramic wine bottle. After the mouth of the clay blank is rolled out, grooves and teeth used for installing the bottle cap need to be cut out. The prior art manually places the mouth of the clay blank on a cutting mechanism, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the placement is inaccurate, which is not conducive to cutting by the cutting mechanism. In terms of material removal, the finished product after cutting also needs to be removed manually. Even if a robotic arm is provided to realize automatic loading and removal, the loading and removal are not accurate enough and still require manual assistance, and fully automated production cannot be achieved.

[0011] Optionally: the above-mentioned incoming material conveyor has an incoming material conveyor belt, and the above-mentioned suction cup assembly is located on the top of the above-mentioned incoming material conveyor belt.

[0012] With such arrangement, the clay blocks are conveyed to the bottom of the suction cup assembly through the incoming material conveyor belt, so that the suction cup assembly can absorb the clay blocks on the incoming material conveyor belt for transfer, thereby realizing automatic material taking.

[0013] Optionally: a first support frame is provided at the bottom of the first three-axis manipulator, one end of the first support frame close to the first three-axis manipulator is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first three-axis manipulator, and one end of the first support frame away from the first three-axis manipulator is supported on the ground or a work platform.

The rotating jig head carries the clay block through the cutting mechanism in the cutting assembly for cutting. The finished product after cutting rotates and moves to the bottom of the second three-axis manipulator. The grabbing assembly of the second three-axis manipulator quickly clamps the knife groove of the finished product. While the jig head below rotates slightly, the grabbing assembly slowly rises, and the finished product on the grabbing assembly is placed on the finished product conveyor through the second three-axis manipulator.

[0077] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one implementation of this embodiment: a cutting method for a fully automatic cutting mechanism for a clay blank bottle mouth is also provided, comprising the following steps:

[0078] Step 1: The incoming material conveyor 2 transports the clay blanks and places the clay blanks on the incoming material conveyor belt 12, and the incoming material conveyor belt 12 moves the clay blanks to the bottom of the first three-axis manipulator 4;

[0079] Step 2: The first three-axis manipulator 4 transfers the clay block, the first drive motor 16 drives the Y-axis guide rail 15 to move on the X-axis guide rail 14, the second drive motor 18 drives the Z-axis guide rail 17 to move on the Y-axis guide rail 15, and the third drive motor 19 drives the suction cup assembly 5 to move on the Z-axis guide rail 17. The first suction cup 22 and the second suction cup 23 on the suction cup assembly 5 are respectively attached to a clay block, and the suction pipe 24 evacuates the air inside the clay block. The clay block is adsorbed on the first suction cup 22 and the second suction cup 23, and the first three-axis manipulator 4 lifts the clay block;

[0080] Step 3: clay block data collection. The first three-axis manipulator 4 moves the clay block to the top of the visual camera assembly 6, collects relevant data of the clay block through the visual camera assembly 6, and transmits the relevant data to the first three-axis manipulator 4. The first three-axis manipulator 4 can then accurately place the clay block on the fixture head 8 of the rotating disk 7 to achieve fully automatic placement.

[0081] Step 4: Cutting of the clay block. The second rotary electric drive rotates the rotary disk 7, and the clay block on the fixture head 8 rotates around the axis of the rotary disk 7. When the clay block rotates to the cutting assembly 1, the second rotary motor 28 drives the fixture head 8 moved to the cutting assembly 1 by friction and starts to rotate. The rotating fixture head 8 carries the clay block through the cutting mechanism 9 in the cutting assembly 1 for cutting. The finished product after cutting rotates and moves to the bottom of the second three-axis manipulator 10.

[0082] Step 5: Finished product transfer. The third drive motor 19 drives the vertical guide rail 41 to move on the transverse guide rail 40. The fifth drive motor 43 drives the grabbing assembly 11 to move vertically. The grabbing assembly 11 of the second three-axis manipulator 10 quickly clamps the knife groove of the finished product. While the fixture head 8 below rotates slightly, the grabbing assembly 11 slowly rises, and the finished product on the grabbing assembly 11 is placed on the finished product conveyor 3 by the second three-axis manipulator 10.

[0083] Step six, when the rotating disk 7 rotates, the rotating disk 7 drives the slider 30 to move in the groove of the annular groove 29. During the movement, the slider 30 will scrape the waste in the annular groove 29 and drop it into the mud discharge hole 31, and finally be discharged through the mud guide groove 32 to achieve centralized recovery or treatment.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
