Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bar processing equipment, and more particularly to an automatic processing equipment for round bar inspection samples and a processing flow thereof. Background Art

[0002] The preparation of bar specimens is the most important step in the physical and chemical testing of steel. The processing method and quality of the specimens affect the test results of the bars.

[0003] At present, the existing round bar processing equipment does not have the ability to clean waste and chips, and there is no recycling equipment. The accumulation of chips affects the equipment accuracy and processing quality; the existing round bar processing equipment is prone to cause sample clamping deformation when clamping the bar, especially for brittle materials or small-diameter round bars, which can easily affect the processing efficiency and increase costs.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an automated processing equipment for round bar inspection specimens and its processing flow that has the ability to clean waste and chips, optimize clamping, reduce costs and improve efficiency is a problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an automated processing equipment for round rod inspection specimens and its processing flow, aiming to solve one of the problems in the above-mentioned background technology, with the ability to clean waste and chips, optimize clamping, reduce costs and improve efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides, on the one hand, an automated processing device for round bar inspection specimens, comprising a conveyor belt, a circular saw, a laser marking machine, a specimen collection machine, an interactive table, a first manipulator, and a first sampling table, which are sequentially arranged, and further comprising:

[0007] Two sample taking machines are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction, the first manipulator is arranged between the two sample taking machines, the interactive table is arranged between the laser marking machine and one of the sample taking machines, the first sampling table is arranged close to the other sample taking machine, and the sample taking machine, the interactive table and the first sampling table are all within the grasping range of the first manipulator;

[0008] The circular saw, laser marking machine, two sample accommodating machines, interactive table, first manipulator and first sampling table are all arranged in twos laterally spaced apart. The conveyor belt is located between the two laterally arranged sample accommodating machines. Two second manipulators are respectively arranged between the conveyor belt and the two laterally arranged sample accommodating machines. The two second manipulators are symmetrically arranged along the axis direction of the conveyor belt. A second sampling table is provided on the other side of the two second manipulators. The conveyor belt, laser marking machine and second sampling table are all located within the grasping range of the second manipulator.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a full-water immersion ultrasonic testing machine, which is located on the side of the second sampling platform away from the conveyor belt. A third manipulator is provided between the full-water immersion ultrasonic testing machine and the second sampling platform. The first sampling platform, the second sampling platform and the full-water immersion ultrasonic testing machine are all located within the grasping range of the third manipulator.

[0010] Furthermore, the circular saw, laser marking machine, sample arranging machine, first sampling platform and full water immersion ultrasonic testing machine form a U-shaped line layout.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a waste hopper, which is laterally symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second sampling platform, and the waste hopper is located within the grasping range of the first manipulator.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the clamping positions of the first manipulator, the second manipulator and the third manipulator is provided with a vacuum suction cup.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a cleaning mechanism and a positioning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism and positioning mechanism are symmetrically arranged in two groups along the axis direction of the second sampling table. The cleaning mechanism and positioning mechanism located on the same side are arranged between the two sample taking machines. The cleaning mechanism and positioning mechanism are both located within the grasping range of the first manipulator.

[0014] On the other hand, the present invention provides an automated processing process for round bar inspection samples, based on the aforementioned automated processing equipment for round bar inspection samples, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: Loading and cutting. The material storage roller automatically feeds the material to the circular saw for cutting. The circular saws on both sides cut at the same time.

[0016] Step 2: Classification: The control system uses two second manipulators to classify the cut round bars into parts that do not require sample making and parts that require sample making;

[0017] Finished product marking and sampling: the second robot grabs the workpiece that does not need to be sampled and places it on the interactive table. The laser marking machine marks the workpiece that does not need to be sampled. After marking is completed, the second robot takes the workpiece and places it on the conveyor belt for collection.

[0018] Step 3: Sample preparation: The second manipulator grabs the sample and places it on the interactive table on both sides. The first manipulators on both sides grab it and place it on the two sample lap machines on the same side to perform lap processing of round bar tensile test specimens, impact specimens, end quenching specimens, and ON specimens.

[0019] Step 4: Cleaning: After processing is completed, the first manipulators on both sides grab the processed samples and place them in the cleaning mechanism for cleaning;

[0020] Step 5: Positioning: The first manipulators on both sides are taken out from the cleaning mechanism and the sample is placed on the positioning device for positioning;

[0021] Step 6: The first manipulators on both sides move the sample from the positioning device to the first sampling table, and the third manipulator moves the sample on the first sampling table to the full-water immersion ultrasonic testing machine for testing to detect sample defects;

[0022] Step 7: Transportation: The third manipulator places the labeled samples on the first sampling tables on both sides and transports them via the AGV.

[0023] Furthermore, the cleaning in step 4 also includes sucking waste from the circular saw, laser marking machine and sample taking machine through the vacuum suction cups on the first manipulator and the second manipulator on both sides, and placing the waste in a waste hopper.

[0024] It can be seen from the above technical solution that compared with the existing technology, the present invention discloses an automated processing equipment for round rod inspection samples and its processing flow. By setting a vacuum suction cup to suck away the waste and place it in the waste hopper, the influence of chip accumulation on the equipment accuracy and processing quality is avoided; by setting a full-water immersion ultrasonic detection machine for detection, sample defects are detected, the processing accuracy is improved, and problems are dealt with in a timely manner.
