[0002] With the continuous expansion of industrial production scale and the increasingly fierce market competition, higher requirements are put forward for the production efficiency and quality of products. Automated production has become an important means to improve production efficiency and product quality, and CNC processing equipment is one of the key equipment to realize automated production. Based on digital control technology, CNC processing equipment can automatically drive the coordinate axes of the machine tool to move precisely according to the processing program pre-compiled and stored in the CNC system to realize automated processing of workpieces. During the entire processing process, there is no need for real-time manual operation intervention, which not only greatly improves production efficiency and effectively shortens the production cycle of products, but also significantly reduces the impact of human factors such as operating errors and fatigue on processing quality, thereby ensuring the stability and consistency of product quality.
[0003] Sister knives refer to a group of tools with the same or similar geometric shapes and sizes, which are used to perform similar processing tasks. In the actual application scenarios of current CNC machining equipment, the use of sister knives is extremely common. With the acceleration of the production pace and the continuous improvement of the requirements for machining accuracy and efficiency, the on-demand calling mechanism of sister knives has put forward more urgent optimization needs. At the same time, in order to further improve the automation level and production efficiency of CNC machining equipment, it is very important to realize the synchronous integration of functions such as automatic loading and unloading of workpieces, self-positioning clamping, and automatic flipping. The effective integration of these functions will help to build a more efficient and intelligent CNC machining production line, and promote the manufacturing industry to move towards high-end and intelligent directions.

[0008] The workpiece is transported to the processing station by a conveyor belt. The visual inspection module identifies the contour shape of the workpiece, analyzes the data of the workpiece contour corresponding to the clamping point, determines whether it is an obtuse angle or an acute angle, and sends an electrical signal to the control chassis. The control chassis integrates the electrical signal and feeds it back to the third motor, adjusts the opening and closing angle of the clamp to adapt to the workpiece contour, and the closing mechanism contracts to complete the adaptive positioning clamping of the workpiece. The control chassis sends an electrical signal to the limiter and the first motor to control the direction of the four-axis flipping of the clamped workpiece.
[0009] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism also includes a cross frame and a universal connecting rod group. The bottom frame is provided with a column groove, and the top platform is provided with a rotating column. There are four groups of column grooves, rotating columns and limiters. The four groups of column grooves, rotating columns and limiters are evenly distributed along the rectangle of the bottom frame. The rotating columns are in contact with the column grooves and limiters. The cross frame and the limiter are fixedly connected to the bottom frame. The universal connecting rod group is hinged to the cross frame and the top platform, and the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the universal connecting rod group.
[0010] When the side of the workpiece needs to be processed, the control chassis sends an electrical signal to the limiter. A group of limiters on the opposite side of the workpiece that needs to be processed contacts the rotating column, and the other three groups of limiters do not contact the rotating column. The first motor outputs torque to the universal connecting rod group, and a group of rotating columns on the opposite side of the processing side rotates in the column groove. The universal connecting rod group supports the top platform to ninety degrees, and the processing side rotates to the top. At the same time, the transverse movement platform drives the overall displacement of the loading and unloading mechanism to ensure that the workpiece is in the processing position.
[0011] Furthermore, the closing mechanism also includes a rack, a gear column, an inner gear ring and a second motor. The ring table is provided with a slide groove and an annular groove.

[0012] After the inspection module recognizes the contour of the workpiece, the second motor outputs a fixed-axis torque to a group of gear columns, which rotate on the ring table and transmit torque through the meshing of the tooth surfaces between the gear columns and the rack. The rack slides along the center of the slide groove toward the center of the ring table, and a group of gear columns fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor mesh with the tooth surface of the inner gear ring. Several groups of gear columns evenly distributed around the circumference transmit torque through meshing with the tooth surface of the inner gear ring. Several racks evenly distributed around the circumference synchronously slide toward the center of the circle in the slide groove, and the rack drives the clamping mechanism to close toward the center of the circle through the assembly frame to complete the self-positioning clamping of the workpiece.
[0013] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism also includes a slide, a spring and an articulated claw. The slide is slidably connected to the frame, the spring is fixedly connected to the frame and the slide, the articulated claw is movably connected to the slide, the third motor is fixedly connected to the slide, and the output end of the third motor is fixedly connected to the articulated claw.
[0014] The visual inspection module identifies the contour shape of the workpiece, and the control chassis integrates the electrical signal feedback to the third motor. The third motor outputs a fixed-axis torque to the articulated jaw. The articulated jaw adjusts the degree of opening and closing to adapt to the edge angle of the workpiece.

[0016] The tool changing operation of the CNC tool machine is completed through the cooperation of the tool disc mechanism and the switching mechanism. When the fourth motor outputs torque to rotate the tool disc wheel to switch the required tool head, the servo motor rotates the switching frame so that the two ends of the switching frame respectively clamp the tool head on the tool disc wheel and the tool head on the CNC tool machine. Then the servo cylinder pushes the switching frame downward to remove the tool heads on both sides. The servo motor continues to rotate the switching frame 180 degrees, and the servo cylinder drives the switching frame to reset, exchanging the tool head on the tool disc wheel with the tool head on the CNC tool machine.
[0017] Furthermore, the cutter disc mechanism also includes an assembly plate, a ratchet and a pawl. The fourth motor and the assembly plate are fixedly connected to the side plate. The ratchet is rotationally connected to the assembly plate, the ratchet is fixedly connected to the cutter disc wheel, the output end of the fourth motor is fixedly connected to the pawl, and the ratchet is in contact with the pawl.
[0018] The fourth motor outputs a fixed-axis torque to the pawl, and the pawl transmits the torque to the ratchet. Through the cooperation between the pawl and the ratchet, the fixed-axis torque of the pawl is converted into an interval rotation of the ratchet. When the switching frame rotates 180 degrees, the ratchet rotates at intervals to avoid collision and interference with the switching frame.
[0019] Furthermore, the switching mechanism also includes a hexagonal column and a sleeve, the servo motor and the servo cylinder are fixedly connected to the tripod, the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the hexagonal column, the sleeve is slidably connected to the hexagonal column, the sleeve is fixedly connected to the switching frame, and the output end of the servo cylinder is connected to the sleeve via a belt drive.
[0020] The servo motor outputs fixed-axis torque to the hexagonal column, which transmits torque to the sleeve through the hexagonal column. The sleeve drives the switching frame to rotate one circle. While the switching frame rotates, the output end of the servo cylinder pushes the sleeve to move up and down along the hexagonal column through the belt drive assembly. The sleeve drives the switching frame to rotate and move back and forth at the same time, completing the replacement of the cutter head on the cutter wheel and the cutter head on the CNC cutting machine.

When the workpiece contact edge is an acute angle, if the degree of opening and closing of the articulated jaws is too large, the articulated jaws on both sides cannot contact the edge of the workpiece. When the workpiece edge is an obtuse angle, if the degree of opening and closing of the articulated jaws is too small, the two contact points of the two side jaws on the obtuse angle arc surface are too close, and the force direction of the two contact points contacting the entire obtuse angle edge and the obtuse angle surface are not sufficient to form a stable triangular clamp, and there is an unstable clamping situation.

[0048] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the workpiece is transported to the processing station by the conveyor belt 52, the visual inspection module 53 identifies the contour shape of the workpiece, performs data analysis on the contour of the workpiece corresponding to the clamping point, determines whether it is an obtuse angle or an acute angle, sends an electrical signal to the control box 7, the control box 7 integrates the electrical signal and feeds it back to the third motor 565, the third motor 565 outputs a fixed-axis torque to the articulated clamp 564, the articulated clamp 564 adjusts the opening and closing degree to adapt to the edge angle of the workpiece, and the second motor 555 outputs a fixed-axis torque to a A group of gear columns 553 rotate on the ring table 551, and the torque is transmitted through the meshing of the tooth surfaces between the gear columns 553 and the rack 552. The rack 552 slides along the center of the slide groove 5511 toward the center of the ring table 551. A group of gear columns 553 fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 555 meshes with the tooth surface of the inner gear ring 554. A plurality of racks 552 uniformly distributed on the circumference synchronously slide in the slide groove 5511 toward the center of the circle. The workpiece pushes the slide table 562 to slide along the frame 561 to squeeze the spring 563. Pairs of special-shaped workpieces are adaptively positioned and clamped. The two-axis displacement module 2 drives the CNC tool machine 3 to move in the x-axis and z-axis planes, and the traverse platform 4 drives the workpiece to move in the x-axis and y-axis planes to cooperate with each other to complete the CNC processing of the workpiece. The sister tool can be switched through the tool changing mechanism 6 to switch the CNC processing process. When the side of the workpiece needs to be processed, the control box 7 sends an electrical signal to the limiter 542. A group of limiters 542 on the opposite side of the workpiece that needs to be processed contacts the rotating column 5461, and the other three groups The limiter 542 does not contact the rotating column 5461, and the first motor 545 outputs torque to the universal connecting rod group 544. A group of rotating columns 5461 opposite to the processing side rotate in the column groove 5411. The universal connecting rod group 544 supports the top platform 546 to ninety degrees, and the processing side is turned upward. At the same time, the transverse platform 4 drives the loading and unloading mechanism 5 to move as a whole to ensure that the workpiece is in the processing position. The clamped workpiece is flipped with four-axis freedom, and the CNC tool machine 3 is cooperated to complete the processing of any side of the workpiece.
