Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of deburring machines, and particularly to a deburring device and method for toothed products. Background Art

[0002] A deburring machine uses a high-speed rotating brush (usually a nylon brush or a steel wire brush) to contact the surface of a workpiece, and removes burrs on the surface and edges of the workpiece through the frictional force and cutting force of the brush. The deburring machine has poor deburring effect on some burrs with complex shapes. For example, for toothed products with multiple teeth distributed on the side surface, the existing deburring machine cannot remove the burrs on the side surface of the toothed products. In order to remove the side burrs, currently, usually an additional device dedicated to cleaning the side burrs is added. The device occupies a large space and increases the cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a deburring device and method for toothed products. On the basis of the existing deburring machine, a set of side burr removal device is added, which reasonably utilizes the internal space of the deburring machine and does not affect the work of the original burr brush of the deburring machine.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

A lifting mechanism is installed on the upper side of the linear motion mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is connected to one side of a support frame; the lifting mechanism and the linear motion mechanism are used to change the position of the side burr brush to avoid the main burr brush of the deburring machine.

[0006] As a further implementation manner, the side burr brush is arranged on one side of the main burr brush. The axial direction of the side burr brush is perpendicular to the axial direction of the main burr brush, and the axial direction of the side burr brush forms a set angle with the vertical plane.

[0007] As a further implementation manner, the lifting mechanism is connected to the support frame through a support seat, so that the lifting mechanism is installed at a set angle relative to the vertical plane.

[0009] As a further implementation manner, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting frame. The inner side of the lifting frame is connected to a vertically installed cylinder through a first linear module;

[0010] The linear motion mechanism is fixed to the bottom of the lifting frame.

[0011] As a further implementation, the linear motion mechanism can drive the side burr brush to move toward or away from the main burr brush;

[0027] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and is intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] When deburring tooth-shaped products with existing equipment, usually an additional device needs to be configured, which not only occupies space but also increases equipment costs; to solve the problem of removing residual burrs on the side of tooth-shaped products, this example provides a deburring device for tooth-shaped products. On the basis of the existing brush machine 1, a set of side burr removal devices is added, reasonably utilizing the internal space of the brush machine 1 without affecting the work of the original burr brush of the brush machine 1.

[0030] For the convenience of description, in this example, the original burr brush of the brush machine 1 is defined as the main burr brush 5.

[0031] Combined with Figure 1 And Figure 2 As shown, the brush machine 1 is equipped with a turntable 2, and the turntable 2 is provided with four stations. One of the stations corresponds to the loading port of the brush machine 1, which is the loading station 3; the station corresponding to the main burr brush 5 is the brush burr station 4. The side burr removal device is entirely located above the turntable 2 and is between the loading station 3 and the brush burr station 4.

[0032] Specifically, the side burr removal device includes a support frame 7, a lifting mechanism 10, a linear motion mechanism 9, a rotary drive mechanism 8, and a side burr brush 12. The support frame 7 serves as the load-bearing body for the lifting mechanism 10, the linear motion mechanism 9, the rotary drive mechanism 8, and the side burr brush 12, and spans across the workbench of the deburring machine 1. The support frame 7 is located outside the original working area frame 6 of the deburring machine 1 and does not additionally occupy the internal space of the working area.

[0033] In this embodiment, the support frame 7 has a portal structure.

[0034] Taking the plane where the support frame 7 is located as the vertical plane, the lifting mechanism 10, the linear motion mechanism 9, the rotary drive mechanism 8, and the side burr brush 12 are all located inside the support frame 7 and are arranged within the working area frame 6. The side burr brush 12 is arranged on one side of the main burr brush 5. The side burr brush 12 is connected to the rotary drive mechanism 8, and the rotary drive mechanism 8 provides rotational power for the side burr brush 12 to rotate and remove the burrs on the side of the toothed product. Moreover, the axial direction of the side burr brush 12 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the main burr brush 5 and the axial direction of the toothed product.

[0035] The side burr brush 12 has a certain thickness, and this thickness is adapted to the tooth grooves of the toothed product.

[0036] The rotary drive mechanism 8 is installed on the lower side of the linear motion mechanism 9, and the lifting mechanism 10 is installed on the upper side of the linear motion mechanism 9. The lifting mechanism 10 is connected to the support frame 7, making the support frame 7 the load-bearing component. The linear motion mechanism 9 can drive the rotary drive mechanism and the side burr brush 12 towards or away from the workpiece. The lifting mechanism 10 can drive the linear motion mechanism 9, the rotary drive mechanism, and the side burr brush 12 to rise or fall, so as to avoid the working space when the main burr brush 5 is working, and move to the burr brushing station 4 when side burr removal is required.

[0037] Combined Figure 3 As shown, a support seat 11 is installed at the middle position of the support frame 7. The lifting mechanism 10 is connected to the support seat 11. The support seat 11 has triangular rib plates, forming a certain angle between the installation surface of the lifting mechanism 10 and the support frame 7, that is, the lifting mechanism 10 is arranged at a certain angle to the vertical plane. This installation method meets the installation angle requirements of the side burr brush 12, enabling the side burr brush 12 to effectively remove burrs on the side of the toothed product.

[0038] Moreover, the above angle is an acute angle, which enables the side burr removal device to be set in the deburring machine 1 without affecting the normal operation of the original structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the lifting mechanism 10 includes a lifting frame 13, a cylinder 14, and a first linear module 15. The lifting frame 13 is a rectangular frame structure. The cylinder 14 is installed vertically in the lifting frame 13, and the rod of the cylinder 14 is connected to the bottom of the lifting frame 13. First lifting modules are symmetrically installed on the inner walls of the lifting frame 13. The cylinder body of the cylinder 14 is fixed to the slider in the first linear module 15. The up and down movement of the lifting frame 13 is realized by the telescopic movement of the cylinder 14. With the above internal structure, the overall lifting mechanism 10 is compact and occupies a small space.

[0040] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the cylinder 14 in the lifting mechanism 10 can also be replaced with a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, etc.

[0041] The linear motion mechanism 9 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting frame 13. The linear motion mechanism 9 in this embodiment includes a single-axis driver 16 and a second linear module 17. The single-axis driver 16 is connected to the second linear module 17. The rotary drive mechanism 8 is connected to the lower side of the slider in the second linear module 17. The linear motion of the rotary drive mechanism 8 and the side burr brush 12 is realized under the action of the single-axis driver 16. The linear motion direction of the rotary drive mechanism 8 and the side burr brush 12 is perpendicular to the axis direction and the lifting direction of the side burr brush 12. The rotary drive mechanism 8 in this embodiment uses a motor 18, and the motor 18 is connected to the side burr brush 12 through a speed reducer.

[0042] The lifting mechanism 10, the linear motion mechanism 9, and the rotary drive mechanism 8 in this embodiment are distributed in the vertical space, which can reduce the occupied area in the working area. And the above mechanisms are supported by the support frame 7 spanning the workbench of the deburring machine 1 to ensure the stability of the overall structure.

[0043] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the turntable 2 is provided with avoidance holes 20 corresponding to each station. The avoidance holes 20 are long strip-shaped holes. By setting the avoidance holes 20, a grinding space is left to effectively remove the side burrs. At the same time, a protective cover 19 is installed outside the side burr brush 12. The protective cover 19 is arranged on the opposite side of the burr brush and is arc-shaped to improve the safety during operation.

[0044] In this embodiment, a side burr removal device is installed in the deburring machine 1. Among them, the lifting mechanism 10, the linear motion mechanism 9, and the rotary drive mechanism 8 are distributed up and down, reducing the space occupied by the device. At the same time, considering the space occupation range, the lifting mechanism 10 itself adopts an internal structure. By setting the lifting mechanism 10 and the linear motion mechanism 9, the side burr brush 12 can avoid the main burr brush 5, and their operations do not affect each other. And the side burr brush 12 is installed at a certain angle with the vertical plane, which can effectively remove the side burrs of the toothed products.

[0045] Embodiment 2:

[0046] This embodiment provides a deburring method for tooth-shaped products, using the deburring equipment described in Embodiment 1. The specific process is as follows:

[0047] First, the manipulator grabs the tooth-shaped product to be deburred from the storage area or the previous process and places the tooth-shaped product on the loading station 3 of the brushing machine 1. The brushing machine 1 is started, and its driving mechanism drives the turntable 2 to rotate clockwise, so that the tooth-shaped product is rotated to the brushing station 4. The cylinder in the brushing machine 1 starts to press down and holds the tooth-shaped product. Subsequently, the main deburring brush 5 starts to work and deburrs the surface of the tooth-shaped product by high-speed rotation.

[0048] After the main deburring brush 5 finishes cleaning, the main brush returns to the initial position to prepare for the next operation. The side deburring brush adjusts its position by moving down and forward. After aligning with the tooth-shaped product, it starts to rotate and deburrs the side of the tooth-shaped product. After the side deburring is completed, the turntable 2 rotates, and the tooth-shaped product is rotated from the brushing station 4 to the unloading station. The manipulator picks up the product and places the deburred tooth-shaped product into the next process or the storage area.

[0049] Thus, the entire process of automatic loading, unloading, and deburring is completed, and the manipulator and the brushing machine 1 wait for the next working cycle.

[0050] The above process of this embodiment ensures that the burrs on all surfaces of the tooth-shaped product can be effectively removed, improving the overall quality of the product.

[0051] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
