Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of mechanical cold processing, and in particular to a layout structure of intelligent processing units for valve body parts. Background Art

[0002] Valve body parts refer to important parts in valves, usually made of cast iron, steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum and other materials. Valves are devices that make the medium (liquid, gas, powder) in pipes and equipment flow or stop, and can control its flow. The valve body is the part of the valve that contains the contact between the valve disc and the valve seat. It is subject to the pressure and temperature of the pipeline medium, and directly affects the sealing effect, flow resistance and flow rate of the valve.

[0003] Cold working of valve body parts can improve the hardness and strength of parts, improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of parts, reduce internal stress and deformation, and avoid deformation or damage of parts due to stress concentration during use. Cold working of valve body parts can also stabilize the size of parts, reduce quenching stress and deformation, thereby improving the dimensional stability and service life of parts. For valves used in low temperature environments, cold working can significantly improve their low temperature mechanical properties and impact toughness, ensuring stable operation of valves under extreme temperatures.

[0004] Traditional cold processing of valve body parts is mainly completed by CNC milling machines, drilling machines, grinders and other equipment, involving many types of equipment and complex logistics. The entire parts processing process requires the participation of more than three operators, with a high equipment occupancy rate and high labor costs. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a layout structure of an intelligent processing unit for valve body parts, including: several five-axis machining centers, safety guardrails, external tool holders, several finished product pallets, industrial articulated robots, online marking equipment, a sampling table, an integrated tooling library, several blank pallets, and a master control console.

[0013] The integrated tooling library is used to store different types of tooling.

[0014] The blank tray is used for placing blanks of valve body parts.

[0015] The master control console controls the processing of valve body parts through the management and control system.

[0016] The ground walking track of the industrial articulated robot is arranged at the center of the safety guardrail, and an external tool holder is installed at one end of the ground walking track.

[0017] Several five-axis machining centers are arranged on one side of the ground walking track, and finished product pallets, online marking equipment, sampling inspection tables, integrated tooling warehouses, and blank pallets are arranged in sequence on the other side.

[0018] Furthermore, the five-axis machining center, external tool holder, finished product pallet, industrial articulated robot, online marking equipment, sampling station, integrated tooling library, and blank pallet are all arranged inside the safety fence, and the main control console is arranged outside the safety fence.

[0019] Furthermore, an electronic display screen is provided outside the safety guardrail.

[0020] The electronic display screen is used to display the operation status of the intelligent processing unit for valve body parts and the statistical data of various types of parts processed products.

[0021] Furthermore, a robot control cabinet is provided outside the safety fence.

[0022] The robot control cabinet is used to control the operation of the industrial joint robot.

[0023] Furthermore, the valve body parts include a valve body and parts with a similar structure to the valve body.
