Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0034] Embodiment: This embodiment provides a polishing robot, see Figure 1-7 , specifically, including:
[0035] The robot body 1 has an output shaft 101 at one end thereof. The robot body 1 is equipped with a sensor and an intelligent control system to detect the polishing condition of the workpiece surface in real time and automatically adjust the motion trajectory and polishing force of the polishing tool as needed to achieve the best polishing effect. The bottom of the output shaft 101 is fixedly connected to a connecting frame 2, and a flip assembly is arranged on the connecting frame 2. The flip assembly includes:
[0036] A connecting box 3 is provided, whose outer wall is fixedly connected with a connecting shaft 303, and the outer wall of the connecting shaft 303 is movably inserted into the outer wall of the connecting frame 2.

The radial width of the first polishing disc 301 is greater than the radial width of the second polishing disc 302. Two groups of polishing tools of different sizes are provided to perform polishing operations on workpieces of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the polishing operation. When in use, the polishing tool is selected according to the polishing position of the product. By rotating the connecting box 3, the first polishing disc 301 and the second polishing disc 302 are driven to rotate, so that the second polishing disc 302 is moved downward, so that the polishing tool can be replaced when polishing the product.
[0037] A positioning unit, which is arranged on the connection frame 2 and is used to fix the application position of the connection box 3;
[0038] A cleaning component is provided on the robot arm body 1, and the cleaning component includes: a vacuum cleaner body 4, which is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the robot arm body 1, a telescopic tube 401 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the vacuum cleaner body 4, and a dust inlet hopper 402 is fixedly provided at the other end of the telescopic tube 401, and the dust inlet hopper 402 is provided on the connecting frame 2 through a connecting unit. When grinding and polishing are performed, the dust inlet hopper 402 is aligned with the polishing tool, and by starting the vacuum cleaner body 4, the motor inside the vacuum cleaner body 4 drives the fan to rotate at a high speed, thereby generating a strong negative pressure in the dust inlet hopper 402. This negative pressure causes the air and debris near the dust inlet hopper 402 to be quickly sucked into the inside of the vacuum cleaner body 4, and by real-time absorption of the debris generated during the grinding process, the accumulation of debris is avoided to affect the polishing effect, and through its automatic cleaning, no manual intervention is required, thereby reducing downtime and operation complexity, and improving polishing efficiency.

When in use, the positioning block 201 is pressed inwardly to move the positioning block 201 toward the inner cavity of the connecting frame 2, so that the positioning block 201 is separated from the positioning hole 305. At this time, the connecting frame 2 Box 3 is in an active state. By rotating the rotating disk 304 downward, the rotating disk 304 drives the connecting box 3 to rotate downward. At this time, the second polishing disk 302 rotates to the bottom to contact the product and polish the product. After the second polishing disk 302 rotates to the corresponding position, another set of positioning ports 305 is aligned with the positioning block 201, and the positioning block 201 is pushed outward by the outward pushing force of the extrusion spring 202, so that the positioning block 201 is inserted into and stuck in the other set of positioning ports 305, so that the position of the rotating disk 304 is fixed, thereby fixing the use position of the second polishing disk 302, and further improving its stability.
[0040] A moving groove 203 is provided on the inner wall of the groove on the outer wall of the connecting frame 2, and a moving block 204 is movably connected to the inner wall of the moving groove 203. The moving block 204 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the positioning block 201. By limiting the sliding of the moving block 204 in the moving groove 203, the moving path and moving range of the positioning block 201 are limited.
[0041] A support frame 5 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the connecting frame 2 , and a cross bar 501 is fixedly provided on the bottom of the support frame 5 .
[0042] The connecting unit includes a first tightening plate 504 and a second tightening plate 505.

A fixing block 403 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the dust inlet hopper 402, and the fixing block 403 is movably inserted between the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505. When in use, the dust inlet hopper 402 is placed between the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505, and its use angle is adjusted. After the setting is completed, the bidirectional screw 503 is rotated clockwise to drive the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505 to move towards each other, so that the outer wall of the dust inlet hopper 402 is clamped and fixed between the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505, thereby fixing the position of the dust inlet hopper 402.
[0043] A moving opening 502 is provided on the outer wall of the cross bar 501, and one end of the first tightening plate 504 is movably clamped in the moving opening 502, and one end of the second tightening plate 505 is movably clamped in the moving opening 502. By movably clamping the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505 in the moving opening 502, the moving path and moving range of the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505 are restricted.
[0044] A circular hole is provided on the outer wall of the crossbar 501, and a rotating shaft 506 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the circular hole. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 506 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw 503 to extend the action point of the bidirectional screw 503, making it convenient for the user to adjust. The bidirectional screw 503 is driven to rotate by rotating the rotating shaft 506.
[0045] A fixing plate 6 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 506, and a socket 601 is opened through the outer wall of the fixing plate 6, and there are multiple groups of sockets 601. A fixing screw 602 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the socket 601, and a positioning hole 507 is opened on the outer wall of the cross bar 501, and the fixing screw 602 is threadedly tightened in the positioning hole 507. The sockets 601 at different positions correspond to the fixed positions of the dust inlet hopper 402 with different widths. When the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505 are moved to the position where the dust inlet hopper 402 is clamped, the corresponding socket 601 is aligned with the positioning hole 507. At this time, the fixing screw 602 is inserted into the positioning hole 507 through the fixing screw 602, and the fixing screw 602 is rotated so that the fixing screw 602 is tightened in the positioning hole 507, so that the fixing plate 6 is fixed, thereby fixing the use position of the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505, thereby improving the stability of the position of the dust inlet hopper 402 when in use.
[0046] A dust collecting bin 404 is movably connected to the outer wall of the vacuum cleaner body 4, and the debris during polishing and grinding is collected in the dust collecting bin 404. By pulling the dust collecting bin 404 outward, the dust collecting bin 404 is separated from the vacuum cleaner body 4, so that the debris can be poured out for disposal.
[0047] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of the present invention are as follows:
[0048] When in use, by pressing the positioning block 201 inwards, the positioning block 201 moves toward the inner cavity of the connecting frame 2, so that the positioning block 201 is separated from the positioning port 305. At this time, the connecting box 3 is in an active state, and the rotating disk 304 is rotated downward to drive the connecting box 3 to rotate downward. At this time, the second polishing disk 302 rotates to the bottom to contact the product and polish the product. When the second polishing disk 302 rotates to the corresponding position, the other set of positioning ports 305 is aligned with the positioning block 201, and the positioning block 201 is pushed outward by the outward urging force of the extrusion spring 202, so that the positioning block 201 is inserted into The first polishing disc 301 is inserted and stuck in another set of positioning openings 305, so that the position of the rotating disc 304 is fixed, thereby fixing the use position of the second polishing disc 302. The radial width of the first polishing disc 301 is greater than the radial width of the second polishing disc 302. Two sets of polishing tools of different sizes are provided to perform polishing operations on workpieces of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the polishing operation. The robot arm body 1 is equipped with sensors and an intelligent control system to detect the polishing condition of the workpiece surface in real time, and automatically adjust the motion trajectory and polishing force of the polishing tool as needed to achieve the polishing operation;
[0049] When in use, the dust inlet hopper 402 is placed between the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505, and its use angle is adjusted to align the dust inlet hopper 402 with the polishing tool. After the setting is completed, the bidirectional screw 503 is rotated clockwise to drive the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505 to move against each other, so that the outer wall of the dust inlet hopper 402 is clamped and fixed between the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505. At this time, the corresponding insertion hole 601 is aligned with the positioning hole 507, and the fixing screw 602 is inserted into the positioning hole 507, and the fixing screw 602 is rotated to fix the fixing screw 602. Tighten it in the positioning hole 507 to fix the fixing plate 6, thereby fixing the use position of the first tightening plate 504 and the second tightening plate 505. By starting the vacuum cleaner body 4, the motor inside the vacuum cleaner body 4 drives the fan to rotate at a high speed, thereby generating a strong negative pressure in the dust inlet hopper 402. This negative pressure causes the air and debris near the dust inlet hopper 402 to be quickly sucked into the interior of the vacuum cleaner body 4. By absorbing the debris generated during the grinding process in real time, the accumulation of debris is avoided to affect the polishing effect. Through its automatic cleaning, no manual intervention is required, which reduces downtime and operation complexity and improves polishing efficiency.
