[0003] Currently, during the processing of machine tools, feeding is generally carried out manually or mechanically. Manual feeding requires a large amount of manpower and has low work efficiency, so mechanical feeding is mostly used. However, in most traditional mechanical feeding methods, the manipulator is fixedly connected to one side of the processing machine tool, and the sorted materials are sent into the machine tool for processing. After the materials in the machine tool are processed, the manipulator takes out the materials from the machine tool and then puts in new materials. In this way, there is a blank period in the processing of the machine tool, which affects the processing efficiency. For this reason, we have proposed a processing machine tool for automatic loading and unloading. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners
[0022] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0023] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic loading and unloading processing machine tool, including a mounting seat 10, a first linear module 9 is installed on the top of the mounting seat 10, and a six-axis robotic arm 7 is slidably connected to the first linear module 9, and a mechanical gripper 8 is connected to the free end of the six-axis robotic arm 7. In actual use, the number of mechanical grippers 8 is multiple, and multiple workpieces to be processed can be clamped and transported at one time. For example Figure 2 As shown, to improve the sliding stability of the support seat 15, a support seat 15 is connected to the first linear module 9 through a first slider 16, and the six-axis robotic arm 7 is fastened to the top of the support seat 15. Driven by the first linear module 9, the six-axis robotic arm 7 can perform linear sliding in the horizontal direction. At the same time, under the gripping action of the six-axis robotic arm 7 and the mechanical gripper 8, the workpiece to be processed can be taken, thus facilitating the loading and unloading during processing.
[0024] Such as Figure 1 、 2As shown in the figure, a plurality of processing boxes 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first linear module 9. The number of mechanical grippers 8 corresponds to the number of processing boxes 13, so that the workpieces to be processed can be placed at one time. The first linear module 9 drives the six-axis robotic arm 7 and the mechanical gripper 8 to clamp and slide-adjust the workpieces to be processed, and then the workpieces to be processed can be sequentially placed inside the plurality of processing boxes 13. After the placement is completed, the processed workpieces are taken out from the beginning, thus effectively avoiding the waiting idle period of the mechanical gripper 8 and effectively improving the processing efficiency. At the same time, to prevent debris from splashing out of the processing box 13 during processing, a protective door 11 is slidably connected to the opening 1 of the processing box 13, and a handle 12 is connected to the protective door 11.
[0025] As Figure 3 , 4 shown, a chuck 26 is rotatably connected to one side inside the processing box 13. A second motor 14 is fastened to one side of the processing box 13. A support 27 is fastened to one side of the chuck 26. The output end of the second motor 14 is extended into the processing box 13 and fixedly connected to the support 27. And a thimble 28 is slidably connected to the other side inside the processing box 13. A first telescopic mechanism 31 is connected to one side of the processing box 13, and a fixed seat 23 is fastened to the free end of the first telescopic mechanism 31. The thimble 28 and the fixed seat 23 are rotatably connected; A cross bar 29 is fastened to one side of the fixed seat 23, and a sleeve 30 is fastened to the inner wall of the processing box 13. The end of the cross bar 29 extends into the sleeve 30 and is slidably connected thereto. During use, the workpiece to be processed is placed in the chuck 26 and fixed, and at the same time, by controlling the movement of the thimble 28, the end of the workpiece to be processed can be limited, thus realizing the rotary processing of the workpiece to be processed.
[0026] As Figure 3 , 4As shown in the figure, a tool holder 24 is also slidably connected inside the processing box body 13, and a processing tool 21 is installed on the tool holder 24; a third linear module 22 is connected to the inner wall of the processing box body 13, and a connecting seat 17 is slidably connected to the third linear module 22 through a second slider 25, and a second linear module 20 is telescopically connected to one side of the connecting seat 17. The tool holder 24 is connected to the second linear module 20 through a third slider 32. A second telescopic mechanism 18 is fastened to one side of the connecting seat 17, and the end of the second telescopic mechanism 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second linear module 20. To ensure the stable sliding of the second linear module 20, multiple guide tubes 19 are fastened to one side of the second linear module 20. The number of each group of guide tubes 19 is two and they are coaxially slidably arranged, and the two guide tubes 19 are respectively fixedly connected to the side wall of the second linear module 20 and the inner wall of the processing box body 13. The first telescopic mechanism 31 and the second telescopic mechanism 18 are both one of an electric telescopic rod, a cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder. Driven by the third linear module 22, the second linear module 20, and the second telescopic mechanism 18, the telescopic sliding operation of the processing tool 21 can be realized, and thus the processing of the workpiece to be processed can be realized.
[0027] In summary, for this processing machine tool with automatic loading and unloading, when in use, two transportation mechanisms are arranged at one end of multiple processing box bodies 13. Among them, the transportation mechanism includes a transportation table 3, and multiple rotating rollers 2 are connected to the transportation table 3 through a rotating shaft 4. A conveyor belt 5 is connected to the outside of the multiple rotating rollers 2. A first motor 6 is fastened to the rotating shaft 4 at one end. The tops of the two conveyor belts 5 are respectively used to place the workpiece to be processed and the processed finished product. The six-axis robotic arm 7 and the mechanical gripper 8 clamp the workpiece to be processed on the top of one of the conveyor belts 5, and sequentially place the workpiece to be processed into the chuck 26 inside the processing box body 13, and use the center drill 28 to limit and fix the end of the workpiece to be processed. Driven by the processing tool 21, rapid processing can be realized. After processing, the six-axis robotic arm 7 and the mechanical gripper 8 clamp the finished product, and then the finished product can be transported to the top of the other conveyor belt 5 for transportation, effectively improving the processing efficiency.
[0028] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
