Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sealing technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for processing sealing rings. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of sealing rings, two key processing operations need to be completed in sequence: the first is the precise positioning of the sealing ring, that is, the sealing ring to be processed is moved to the preset processing position through the corresponding conveying or clamping mechanism; the second is the removal of burrs on the outer circumference of the sealing ring. During the molding process of the sealing ring, excess burrs are easily generated at the mold closing point or the end of the material flow. If such burrs are left on the outer circumference of the sealing ring, they will affect the fit of the sealing surface during the subsequent assembly and use of the sealing ring, and may even cause leakage problems in the sealing system due to the burrs falling off.

[0003] Existing sealing ring processing technology has significant limitations in practical applications. Since sealing rings are typically made of elastic materials such as rubber and silicone, these materials are prone to deformation under external forces (such as clamping forces and friction during transport). During the positioning stage, deformation prevents the sealing ring from accurately fitting the reference surface of the positioning fixture, making it difficult to stably mount or fix it in the set position, thus affecting the processing accuracy of subsequent deburring processes. During the deburring stage, the easily deformable nature of the sealing ring causes its outer circumference to deform irregularly when in contact with the cutting tool. This prevents the tool from maintaining a stable processing distance and contact pressure with the burr location, making it difficult to thoroughly remove the burrs and potentially leading to over-grinding or localized damage to the outer circumference of the sealing ring due to deformation, thus affecting product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problem of easy deformation during the processing of sealing rings, this invention provides a method and system for processing sealing rings.

[0026] Obtain rotation data from the positioning module;

[0027] Based on the rotation data, one end of the machining tool pierces from the inner circumference of the area to be machined on the sealing ring to the outer circumference of the area to be machined on the sealing ring; wherein the piercing position of the machining tool is spaced apart from the deformation groove.

[0028] In some embodiments, supplying the sealing ring to the gripping position based on the supply component includes:

[0029] Triggered by a processing command, the conveyor belt of the supply component transports the sealing ring;

[0030] The sealing ring reaches the gripping position after it comes into contact with the baffle in the conveying direction.

[0031] In some embodiments, the sealing ring processing method further includes:

[0032] Once the cutting tool completes the cutting of the sealing ring at the point to be processed, the transport component moves the processed sealing ring out of the positioning module.

[0033] In a second aspect, the present invention discloses a sealing ring processing system, wherein the sealing ring processing system is applied to any of the sealing ring processing methods described in the first aspect, and the sealing ring processing system comprises:

[0036] A conveying assembly for gripping the sealing ring;

[0037] The processing assembly includes a positioning module and a processing blade; the positioning module is used to position and fix the sealing ring; the processing blade is used to cut the sealing ring.

[0038] The processing state of the processing system includes: the supply component moves the sealing ring to the gripping position, the transport component moves the sealing ring from the gripping position to the positioning module, the positioning module positions and fixes the sealing ring and drives the sealing ring to rotate around its own axis, and the processing blade penetrates the inner and outer peripheral walls of the sealing ring to be processed.

[0042] To solve the problem of easy deformation during the processing of sealing rings, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0043] The sealing ring is moved from the gripping position to the positioning module by the conveying component using an internal clamping mechanism. The positioning module positions and fixes the sealing ring, achieving stable clamping and precise positioning of the sealing ring made of elastic material. This prevents the sealing ring from deforming due to external forces, thus solving the problem of the sealing ring being difficult to place in the set position. The positioning module drives the sealing ring to rotate around its central axis, and then one end of the processing blade pierces from the inner circumference of the sealing ring to the outer circumference of the area to be processed. The processing blade squeezes the burrs to abut against the positioning ring and cuts the area to be processed of the sealing ring. This achieves stable cutting of the burrs on the sealing ring and avoids the situation where the tool is difficult to grind the burrs due to the easy deformation of the sealing ring. This ensures the stability and processing accuracy of the deburring process of the sealing ring, and ultimately solves the problems of difficult positioning and poor deburring effect of the sealing ring in the existing technology.

[0053] During the processing of the sealing ring 40, the sealing ring 40 needs to be supplied to the gripping position by the supply component 10, and then transported to the positioning module 212 by the transport component 30. After being positioned and fixed by the positioning module 212, the positioning module 212 drives it to rotate and cut the area to be processed by the processing blade 222. However, since the sealing ring 40 is usually made of elastic material, it is prone to deformation in the above processing flow. This characteristic makes it difficult for the sealing ring 40 to be accurately placed in the set position of the positioning module 212 after being transported by the transport component 30 (usually by a nesting method). At the same time, during the subsequent cutting process of the area to be processed (such as burrs) of the sealing ring 40 by the processing blade 222, the deformability of the sealing ring 40 itself makes it difficult for the processing blade 222 to stably and accurately cut the burrs, thus affecting the smooth progress of the sealing ring 40 processing flow.

[0054] Example 1: This example discloses a method for processing a sealing ring 40, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the processing method of the sealing ring 40 includes steps S10 to S40, and each step is described in detail below:

[0055] In step S10, the supply component 10 supplies the sealing ring 40 to the gripping position, and the conveying component 30 conveys the sealing ring 40 to the positioning module 212; as shown Figure 5 As shown, the sealing ring 40 is configured as an annular body, and the diameters of both sides of the sealing ring 40 are smaller than the diameter of the middle part of the sealing ring 40; the supply component 10 is used to move the sealing ring 40 to realize the conveying of the sealing ring 40; the conveying component 30 is used to grasp the sealing ring 40.

[0056] In step S20, the sealing ring 40 is transported to the positioning module 212 based on the transport component 30. The positioning module 212 positions and fixes the sealing ring 40 to ensure that the sealing ring 40 maintains an accurate position during subsequent processing, thereby improving processing accuracy and ensuring processing quality. The processing component 20 includes the positioning module 212 and the processing cutter 222. The positioning module 212 is used to position and fix the sealing ring 40. The processing cutter 222 is used to cut the sealing ring 40.

[0057] In step S30, the sealing ring 40 is positioned and fixed based on the positioning module 212, and the rotation of the positioning module 212 causes the sealing ring 40 to rotate around the central axis of the sealing ring 40.

[0058] In step S40, the positioning module 212 rotates, causing the sealing ring 40 to rotate around the central axis of the sealing ring 40. One end of the processing tool 222 pierces from the inner circumference of the area to be processed on the sealing ring 40 to the outer circumference of the area to be processed on the sealing ring 40, so that the processing tool 222 cuts the area to be processed on the sealing ring 40. Cutting during the rotation of the sealing ring 40 allows for comprehensive processing of the area to be processed, ensuring the integrity and uniformity of the cut. Furthermore, processing during the rotation of the sealing ring 40 prevents excessive resistance from the cutting tool 222 when it penetrates the sealing ring 40, which could hinder its rotation. Instead, the cutting tool 222 penetrates the sealing ring 40 during its rotation, using the ring's rotation to offset some of the penetration resistance (the cutting tool 222 exerts a radial force on the sealing ring 40 upon penetration, while the rotation of the sealing ring 40 causes slight displacement of the material at the penetration point, reducing static friction between the cutting tool 222 and the sealing ring 40 material). This prevents the sealing ring 40 from jamming or deviating from its rotation trajectory due to excessive resistance, ensuring that the sealing ring 40 maintains a stable rotation around its central axis. Furthermore, the machining tool 222 can slowly penetrate the sealing ring 40 to perform layered machining on the sealing ring 40, further reducing the resistance between the machining tool 222 and the sealing ring 40, and preventing the machining tool 222 from affecting the sealing ring 40 during the penetration process.

[0059] Furthermore, step S10 includes steps S11 to S15, which are executed sequentially, as are steps S20, S30, and S40. Detailed explanations of each step are as follows:

[0060] In step S11, the sealing ring 40 is supplied to the gripping position based on the supply component 10, and the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 are retracted to the tightened state. The smaller size makes it easier for the clamps to smoothly enter the space surrounded by the inner peripheral wall of the sealing ring 40.

[0061] In step S12, based on the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 being closed to the tightened state, the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 are driven to the space surrounded by the inner peripheral wall of the sealing ring 40.

[0062] In step S13, based on the space surrounded by the inner peripheral wall of the sealing ring 40 by the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324, the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 are opened to the clamping state; the clamping state includes the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 respectively abutting against the inner peripheral wall of the sealing ring 40, causing the sealing ring 40 to deform, and using the friction and extrusion force generated by this deformation to achieve stable clamping of the sealing ring 40;

[0063] In step S14, based on the opening of the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 to the clamping state, the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 transport the clamped sealing ring 40 to the positioning module 212.

[0064] In step S15, the holding sealing ring 40 is transported to the positioning module 212 based on the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324, and then the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 are released and removed. This achieves the internal support method of the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 for transporting the sealing ring 40, effectively solving the problems of easy slippage and difficulty in transporting the sealing ring 40, and achieving the effect of accurately and stably transporting the sealing ring 40 to the positioning module 212.

[0065] Furthermore, the positioning module 212 includes a positioning seat 2121, a positioning ring 2122, and a deformation groove 2123; the positioning ring 2122 is connected to one end of the positioning seat 2121 to form a positioning space; the deformation groove 2123 is a groove formed by recessing the inner peripheral wall of the positioning ring 2122, so that the deformation position of the sealing ring 40 (deformation caused by the clamping of the first clamp 323 or the second clamp 324) can be placed in the deformation groove 2123, and at this time the sealing ring 40 can be placed more smoothly in the positioning ring 2122;

[0066] Step S14 includes steps S141 to S143, which are executed sequentially: steps S11 to S13, steps S141 to S143, step S15, step S20, step S30, and step S40. Detailed explanations of each step are as follows:

[0067] In step S141, based on the opening of the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 into the clamping state, the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 transport the clamped sealing ring 40 to the upper space of the positioning module 212.

[0068] In step S142, the sealing ring 40 held by the first chuck 323 and the second chuck 324 is transported to the upper space of the positioning module 212. The positioning seat 2121 is rotated so that the deformation groove 2123 is aligned with the first chuck 323 and / or the second chuck 324 to ensure that the deformation part of the sealing ring 40 is accurately placed in the deformation groove 2123 and to avoid placement deviation.

[0069] In step S143, based on the alignment of the deformation groove 2123 with the first clamp 323 and / or the second clamp 324, the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 place the holding sealing ring 40 into the positioning space; wherein, part of the sealing ring 40 is within the deformation groove 2123. At this time, because part of the sealing ring 40 is deformed and the deformed part is placed within the deformation groove 2123 (the deformed part of the sealing ring 40 protrudes outward), the diameter of the other part of the sealing ring 40 is reduced, and the sealing ring 40 can be placed more smoothly in the positioning space.

[0070] Furthermore, the positioning module 212 includes two deformation grooves 2123, which, in conjunction with the deformation of the sealing ring 40 at the first chuck 323 and the second chuck 324, increase the compatibility with the first chuck 323 and the second chuck 324.

[0071] In step S142, the two deformation grooves 2123 are aligned with the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 respectively, so that when the sealing ring 40 is placed, its deformed part can be accurately located in the deformation groove 2123, which facilitates the placement of the sealing ring 40.

[0072] Furthermore, the positioning module 212 includes a deformation groove 2123; such as Figure 6 As shown, the width of the extended end of the first clamp 323 is smaller than the width of the extended end of the second clamp 324, so that when the sealing ring 40 is clamped, the deformation of the sealing ring 40 is concentrated at the first clamp 323, which makes it easier to control the position and degree of deformation of the sealing ring 40.

[0073] In the step of rotating the positioning seat 2121 to align the deformation groove 2123 with the first chuck 323 and / or the second chuck 324, the deformation groove 2123 is aligned with the first chuck 323 so that when the sealing ring 40 is placed, the deformed part of the first chuck 323 can be accurately placed in the deformation groove 2123, which facilitates the precise placement of the sealing ring 40.

[0074] Furthermore, step S40 includes steps S41 to S42, with steps S10, S20, S30, S41, and S42 executed sequentially. Detailed explanations of each step are as follows:

[0075] In step S41, the positioning module 212 rotates, causing the sealing ring 40 to rotate around the central axis of the sealing ring 40, and the rotation data of the positioning module 212 is obtained. The rotation data may include rotation speed data.

[0076] In step S42, based on rotation data, one end of the machining tool 222 pierces from the inner circumference of the area to be machined on the sealing ring 40 to the outer circumference. The piercing operation is performed during the rotation of the sealing ring 40 to prevent the resistance of the machining tool 222 during piercing from causing difficulty in the rotation of the sealing ring 40. This is because if the piercing position is not appropriate, it may generate greater resistance and affect the normal rotation of the sealing ring 40. At the same time, the machining tool 222 is easier to pierce during the rotation process. The rotational movement of the sealing ring 40 offsets part of the piercing resistance (the machining tool 222 will generate a radial force on the sealing ring 40 when it pierces, and the rotation of the sealing ring 40 can cause the material at the piercing point to move slightly with the direction of movement, reducing the static frictional resistance between the machining tool 222 and the material of the sealing ring 40). This avoids the sealing ring 40 from getting stuck or deviating from its rotation trajectory due to excessive resistance, ensuring that the sealing ring 40 always maintains a stable rotational state around its own central axis. The piercing position of the machining blade 222 is spaced apart from the deformation groove 2123. Since the deformation groove 2123 cannot provide support for the sealing ring 40, the machining blade 222 piercing into the deformation groove 2123 may cause the sealing ring 40 to deform, thus preventing the sealing ring 40 from being pierced. In addition, the elastic deformation interference in the deformation groove 2123 area is avoided to ensure the stability and accuracy of piercing and cutting.

[0077] Furthermore, supplying the sealing ring 40 to the gripping position based on the supply component 10 includes:

[0078] Based on the processing command trigger, the conveyor belt 11 of the supply component 10 conveys the sealing ring 40;

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, after the sealing ring 40 comes into contact with the baffle 14 in the conveying direction, it reaches the gripping position. By blocking the sealing ring 40 with the baffle 14, the sealing ring 40 can be accurately controlled to reach the gripping position, so that the conveying component 30 can accurately clamp the sealing ring 40 and avoid positional deviation.

[0080] Furthermore, the processing method for the sealing ring 40 also includes step S50, wherein steps S10, S20, S30, S40, and S50 are performed sequentially:

[0081] In step S50, after the cutting of the sealing ring 40 by the cutting tool 222 is completed, the transport component 30 moves the processed sealing ring 40 out of the positioning module 212. After the processing of the sealing ring 40 is completed, it is promptly moved out of the positioning module 212 to avoid the processed sealing ring 40 occupying the space of the positioning module 212 and affecting the subsequent processing flow of the new sealing ring 40.

[0082] Example 2: This example discloses a sealing ring 40 processing system. The sealing ring 40 processing system is applied to any of the sealing ring 40 processing methods in Example 1. The sealing ring 40 processing system includes:

[0083] Sealing ring 40, the sealing ring 40 is set as an annular body;

[0084] The supply component 10 is used to move the sealing ring 40, thereby conveying the sealing ring 40; furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the supply assembly 10 includes a conveyor belt 11, a roller 12, a first drive unit 13, and a conveyor support 15; the roller 12 is connected to the conveyor support 15, the conveyor belt 11 is connected to the roller 12, and the first drive unit 13 drives the roller 12 to rotate, so that the roller 12 can drive the conveyor belt 11 to move. The sealing ring 40 is placed on the conveyor belt 11 to realize the transportation of the sealing ring 40.

[0085] The conveying assembly 30 is used to grip the sealing ring 40;

[0086] Processing component 20 includes a positioning module 212 and a processing blade 222; the positioning module 212 is used to position and fix the sealing ring 40; the processing blade 222 is used to cut the sealing ring 40; further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the processing assembly 20 includes a support unit 21 and a processing unit 22. The support unit 21 further includes a support frame 211 and a second drive unit, which is connected to a fastening part 2124. The support frame 211 is connected to a positioning module 212. The processing unit 22 further includes a processing frame 221 and a third drive unit, which is drivenly connected to a processing tool 222, which is placed on the processing frame 221.

[0087] The processing state of the processing system includes: the supply component 10 moves the sealing ring 40 to the gripping position, the transport component 30 moves the sealing ring 40 from the gripping position to the positioning module 212, the positioning module 212 positions and fixes the sealing ring 40 and drives the sealing ring 40 to rotate around its own axis, and the processing cutter 222 penetrates the inner and outer peripheral walls of the sealing ring 40 to be processed. Cutting during the rotation of the sealing ring 40 allows for comprehensive processing of the area to be processed, ensuring the integrity and uniformity of the cut. Furthermore, processing during the rotation of the sealing ring 40 prevents excessive resistance from the cutting tool 222 when it penetrates the sealing ring 40, which could hinder its rotation. Instead, the cutting tool 222 penetrates the sealing ring 40 during its rotation, using the ring's rotation to offset some of the penetration resistance (the cutting tool 222 exerts a radial force on the sealing ring 40 upon penetration, while the rotation of the sealing ring 40 causes slight displacement of the material at the penetration point, reducing static friction between the cutting tool 222 and the sealing ring 40 material). This prevents the sealing ring 40 from jamming or deviating from its rotation trajectory due to excessive resistance, ensuring that the sealing ring 40 maintains a stable rotation around its central axis.

[0088] Furthermore, the conveying assembly 30 includes a drive unit 31 and a conveying unit 32; the conveying unit 32 includes a second translation part 322, a first clamp 323, and a second clamp 324; the second translation part 322 is drivenly connected to the drive unit 31; the first clamp 323 and the second clamp 324 are slidably connected to the second translation part 322, so that the clamps can move flexibly; the positioning module 212 includes a positioning seat 2121, a positioning ring 2122, a deformation groove 2123, and a fastening part 2124; the positioning seat 2121 is axially connected to one end of the positioning ring 2122 to form a positioning structure; the deformation groove 2123 is recessed from the side of the positioning ring 2122 away from the positioning seat 2121 toward the side closer to the positioning seat 2121, which facilitates the placement of the sealing ring 40; the fastening part 2124 is connected to the positioning seat 2121 and is used to fix the relative position of the positioning seat 2121 and the sealing ring 40;

[0089] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive unit 31 includes a vertical moving part 311 and a first translational part 312. The vertical moving part 311 can drive the transport unit 32 to move in the vertical direction, and the first translational part 312 can drive the transport unit 32 to move in the horizontal direction. The transport unit 32 also includes a fourth drive part 321, which is drivenly connected to the second translational part 322.

[0090] The processing state also includes: the supply component 10 moves the sealing ring 40 to the gripping position, the first chuck 323 and the second chuck 324 respectively abut against the inner peripheral wall of the sealing ring 40, and the internal support contact ensures stable clamping of the sealing ring 40, preventing the sealing ring 40 from falling off or shifting position during the clamping process. The drive unit 31 moves the sealing ring 40 onto the positioning seat 2121 through the first chuck 323 and the second chuck 324. The first chuck 323 and the second chuck 324 move part of the sealing ring 40 into the deformation groove 2123, using the deformation groove 2123 to hold the sealing ring 40. The local deformation provides a space to accommodate the sealing ring 40, preventing the overall structure from being misaligned due to clamping deformation, and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent positioning. The fastening part 2124 fixes the relative position of the positioning seat 2121 and the sealing ring 40, preventing the sealing ring 40 from sliding relative to the positioning seat 2121 during the processing. The positioning seat 2121 rotates around the central axis of the sealing ring 40, providing a continuous and uniform processing trajectory for the processing tool 222, so that the processing tool 222 can process the area to be processed along the circumference of the sealing ring 40. The processing tool 222 penetrates the inner and outer peripheral walls of the sealing ring 40 to be processed.

[0091] Furthermore, A < B < C; where A is the circumferential dimension of the first chuck 323 at the end away from the drive unit 31 along the positioning ring 2122, B is the maximum circumferential dimension of the deformation groove 2123 near the inner circumferential wall of the positioning ring 2122, and C is the circumferential dimension of the second chuck 324 at the end away from the drive unit 31 along the positioning ring 2122. This ensures that the first chuck 323, the deformation groove 2123, and the second chuck 324 are dimensionally compatible. During the handling and positioning of the sealing ring 40, this compatibility ensures that the first chuck 323 and the second chuck 324 can smoothly place the sealing ring 40 into the deformation groove 2123, avoiding placement difficulties or inaccurate positioning due to dimensional mismatch.

[0092] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing this disclosure, and in practical applications, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
