Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medium-thick plate sample processing technology, specifically to an automated processing equipment for medium-thick plate samples. Background Technology

[0002] Medium and heavy plates refer to plates with a thickness of 4.5-25.0mm. In the production process of medium and heavy plates, it is necessary to control the production process and ensure the quality of the medium and heavy plates leaving the factory through sample inspection. The sample inspection process of medium and heavy plates requires a large amount of processing of medium and heavy plates of different sizes in each batch. The traditional manual processing method can no longer meet the growing production demand.

[0003] Currently, companies have made varying degrees of improvements to the processing methods for medium and heavy plate specimens, such as impact specimens. The main improvement is automation, with robotic operation as the core. While this has improved the processing efficiency of impact specimens to some extent, it mainly relies on existing processing lines and cannot automate the loading, flipping, and unloading processes. In particular, the flipping process still relies on manual labor or robotic arms to remove the impact specimens one by one and then reverse them to put them back into the fixture, which severely restricts the processing efficiency of impact specimens and needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated processing equipment for medium-thick plate samples to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment of the invention, an automated processing equipment for medium-thick plate samples includes a processing center 1. A sample fixture 2 and a workpiece flipping mechanism are fixedly installed on the worktable of the processing center 1. The sample fixture 2 is equipped with several hydraulic clamping mechanisms. The workpiece flipping mechanism includes two linear motors 9 symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the sample fixture 2. Each of the two linear motors 9 has a column 11 fixedly connected to its moving base via a connecting seat 10. A crossbeam 12 is fixedly connected to the top of each column 11. An electric cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the crossbeam 12. The push rod end of the electric cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to a housing 14. Multiple first clamping rods 22 and second clamping rods 23 are connected to the housing 14 via a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is used to drive the first clamping rods 22 and second clamping rods 23 to move in opposite directions simultaneously. Multiple first clamping rods 22 and second clamping rods 23 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the corresponding hydraulic clamping mechanism. The bottom ends of the first clamping rods 22 and second clamping rods 23 are rotatably connected to clamping plates 25. A second motor 31 is installed below the housing 14. The clamping plates 25 are all connected to the output shaft of the second motor 31 for transmission.

[0023] By adopting the above-described scheme, in use, the sample 8 to be processed is clamped onto the hydraulic clamping mechanism by manual or robotic loading. The machining center 1 is then started to process the sample 8 according to a preset processing program. After the top surface is processed, the hydraulic clamping mechanism is controlled to release the sample 8. The linear motor 9 is started to drive the crossbeam 12 to move, and the electric cylinder 13 is started to drive the housing 14 downwards, so that the first clamping rod 22 and the second clamping rod 23 move to the corresponding sides of the sample 8. Then, the drive mechanism is started to drive the corresponding first clamping rod 22 and second clamping rod 23. Simultaneously moving in the opposite direction, the two clamping plates 25 can be used to clamp the sample 8 from both ends. Then, the electric cylinder 13 is started to lift the sample 8, and the second motor 31 is started to drive the clamping plates 25 to rotate to the required angle. After that, the electric cylinder 13 is started again to lower the sample 8 so that the sample 8 can be placed back into the hydraulic clamping mechanism. Then, the clamping plates 25 are released by the drive mechanism. The hydraulic clamping mechanism can then clamp the sample 8 after it has been flipped, thus completing the flipping and clamping of multiple samples 8 at one time. This can effectively improve the processing efficiency of medium and thick plate samples and has good performance.

[0024] Specific combination Figure 2-4In one embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a first motor 15 fixedly installed on the top of the housing 14. The output shaft of the first motor 15 passes through the housing 14 and is fixedly connected to a gear 16. Two slide bars 18 are slidably installed inside the housing 14. The outer walls of each slide bar 18 are fixedly connected to racks 19, and both racks 19 mesh with the gears 16. An opening slot 21 is provided through the bottom of the housing 14. The top ends of the first clamping rod 22 and the second clamping rod 23 pass through the opening slot 21 into the housing 14 and are fixedly connected to the corresponding slide bars 18 through a connecting block 20.

[0025] By starting the first motor 15 to drive the gear 16 to rotate, the gear 16 and the two racks 19 can be used to drive the two slide bars 18 to move in opposite directions at the same time, thereby driving the first clamping rod 22 and the second clamping rod 23 to move in opposite directions at the same time, thus realizing the clamping and release of the sample 8.

[0026] Specific combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 Based on the previous embodiment, two guide rails 17 are symmetrically fixedly connected inside the housing 14, and the slide bar 18 is slidably mounted on the corresponding guide rail 17. The slide bar 18 is provided with a guide groove that matches the guide rail 17. Through the cooperation between the guide rail 17 and the guide groove, the stability of the slide bar 18 in the housing 14 can be ensured.

[0027] Specific combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer walls of the first clamping rod 22 and the second clamping rod 23 near the bottom are both rotatably connected to a drive shaft 24 via bearings. One end of the drive shaft 24 is fixedly connected to a corresponding clamping piece 25, and the other end of the drive shaft 24 is fixedly connected to a first pulley 26. The outer walls of the first clamping rod 22 and the second clamping rod 23 above the first pulley 26 are both rotatably connected to a second pulley 27 via bearings. The second pulley 27 is connected to the corresponding first pulley 26 via a synchronous belt. The second pulley 27 is also connected to the output shaft of the second motor 31.

[0028] Furthermore, two vertical plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 14 near both ends. The two vertical plates are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 28 via bearings. The second motor 31 is fixed on one of the rotating shafts 28, and the output shaft of the second motor 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 28. The second pulleys 27 are slidably sleeved on the rotating shaft 28. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 28 is provided with multiple sliding grooves 30. The inner wall of the second pulley 27 is fixedly connected to the corresponding position of the sliding groove 30, and the sliding slider 29 is located in the corresponding sliding groove 30.

[0029] When the second motor 31 is started, the rotating shaft 28 is driven to rotate. The cooperation between the slider 29 and the slide groove 30 drives the second pulley 27 to rotate, thereby using the synchronous belt to make the first pulley 26 and the transmission shaft 24 rotate, thus realizing the transmission connection between the clamp 25 and the output shaft of the second motor 31.
