[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing, after the product goes through the processes of casting, stamping, machining, etc., burrs (such as metal flash, plastic overflow) are easily generated on the surface. These burrs not only affect the assembly accuracy and safety of the product, but also may accelerate the wear of the parts.
[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with the publication number CN119567287A and the title "A deburring robot workstation" discloses that the cutter can move relative to the guide seat along with the floating seat. When the cutter is subjected to an axial force from the workpiece during the deburring process, the floating seat on both sides is subjected to the force from the guide seat and the machining workpiece, the size of the two changes, and the floating seat on both sides is subjected to uneven force. When the cutter is subjected to a radial force during the deburring process, the cutter drives the floating seat and the guide seat to press tightly to one side of the cylinder, and the floating seat 74 can rotate relative to the limiting bolt to produce a floating effect in the radial direction. Thus, the deburring robot of the present application can compensate for the dimensional accuracy deviation and positioning error of the workpiece, improve the deburring effect, and reduce the risk of tool breakage.

When the clamping assembly 33 moves downward, the cleaning tool 34 is extended from the guide hole and the inside of the mounting sleeve 35, and the driving assembly 32 is used for driving the cleaning tool 34 to rotate at high speed.
[0039] In the above technical solution, the fixed sleeve 31 is installed at the lower end of the turnover platform, the cleaning tool 34 is detachably installed inside the clamping assembly 33, when deburring processing of the product is needed, the clamping assembly 33 drives the cleaning tool 34 to move downward, so that the lower end of the cleaning tool 34 can extend out of the guide hole and the inside of the installation sleeve 35, the driving assembly 32 can move synchronously with the clamping assembly 33, and the lower end of the driving assembly 32 can be inserted and matched with the upper end of the cleaning tool 34, the driving assembly 32 can drive the cleaning tool 34 to rotate at high speed to remove burrs on the surface of the product.
[0040] The clamping assembly 33 can be pushed downward along the sliding groove, so that the cleaning tool 34 extends out of the lower end of the installation sleeve 31, so that the polishing stroke of the cleaning tool 34 can be adjusted, and the tool can be deeply inserted into the cavity to improve the adaptability of deburring.
[0041] When different types and characteristics of burrs need to be removed, the cleaning tool 34 needs to be disassembled and replaced, when the tool is replaced, the clamping assembly 33 is first reset to the initial position, and the driving assembly 32 is separated from the upper end of the cleaning tool 34, then the clamping assembly 33 pushes the cleaning tool 34 out along the width direction of the sliding groove, and then the replaced tool is installed inside the clamping assembly 33, so that the function of processing different types of burrs can be realized.
[0042] It should be noted that the clamping assembly 33 can move vertically up and down along the length direction of the sliding groove, when the clamping assembly 33 is adjusted up and down, an electric sliding rail (not shown in the figure) can be installed on the inner wall of the sliding groove to realize fast response and accurate adjustment of the clamping assembly 33.
[0043] Referring to Figures 7-8 As a preferred technical solution of the embodiment, the driving assembly 32 includes a sliding sleeve 321, a telescopic sleeve 322 and a driving end 323, the sliding sleeve 321 is slidably arranged inside the installation hole, the sliding sleeve 321 is in cylindrical hollow structure, the lower end of the sliding sleeve 321 is fixedly connected with the clamping assembly 33, the telescopic sleeve 322 is slidably arranged inside the sliding sleeve 321, the driving end 323 is installed at the lower end of the telescopic sleeve 322, the telescopic sleeve 322 can drive the driving end 323 to be connected or separated with the cleaning tool 34.

[0045] It should be noted that the telescopic sleeve 322 can slide up and down inside the sliding sleeve 321 to realize the butt joint or separation of the driving end head 323 and the cleaning cutter 34. When the telescopic sleeve 322 slides, an electric push rod (not shown in the figure) can be installed between the upper end of the telescopic sleeve 322 and the sliding sleeve 321 to realize the rapid adjustment of the driving end head 323.
[0046] Referring to Figures 7-8 As shown in the preferred technical solution of the embodiment, the clamping assembly 33 comprises a fixed frame 331, a sliding frame 332, clamping plates 333 and a pressing mechanism 334. The fixed frame 331 is slidably arranged inside the sliding groove. The middle part of the fixed frame 331 is a hollow structure. The upper end of the fixed frame 331 is provided with a through hole in communication with the inside of the sliding sleeve 321. The lower end of the fixed frame 331 is provided with an arc-shaped opening. The sliding frame 332 is slidably arranged inside the fixed frame 331. The end part of the sliding frame 332 is symmetrically provided with the clamping plates 333. The number of the clamping plates 333 is four. The clamping plates 333 are provided with clamping intervals therebetween. The clamping plates 333 are provided with the pressing mechanism 334.
[0047] In the above technical solution, when it is necessary to replace the cleaning cutter 34, the sliding frame 332 is first pushed out from the inside of the fixed frame 331. The pressing mechanism 334 is not tightly attached to the cleaning cutter 34, so that the cleaning cutter 34 can be withdrawn from the inside of the clamping interval between the clamping plates 333. The replaced cleaning cutter 34 is then put back. The sliding frame 332 returns to the inside of the fixed frame 331. The pressing mechanism 334 can gradually press the side wall of the cleaning cutter 34, so that the phenomenon of shaking of the cleaning cutter 34 during work can be avoided, and the deburring effect of the product is improved.
[0048] It should be noted that the sliding frame 332 can slide inside the fixed frame 331. When the sliding frame 332 slides, an electric sliding rail (not shown in the figure) can be installed on the inner wall of the fixed frame 331 to realize the rapid response and accurate adjustment of the sliding frame 332.

The pressing frame 3341 is provided with a guide rod on the outer side. The guide groove 3342 is formed in the inner wall of the fixed frame 331. The end part of the guide rod is slidably arranged inside the guide groove 3342.
[0050] Referring to Figure 9As shown in the preferred technical solution of the embodiment, the depth of the guide groove 3342 gradually increases from the middle to the end of the fixed frame 331.
[0051] In the above technical solution, when the clamping plate 333 moves inward, the depth of the guide groove 3342 gradually decreases, so that the guide rod is gradually pushed out, and the guide rod drives the pressing frame 3341 to press and fix the side surface of the cleaning tool 34. The rough surface on the inner side of the pressing frame 3341 can further increase the friction and improve the stability of the cleaning tool 34.
[0052] Referring to Figure 8 As shown in the preferred technical solution of the embodiment, the sliding frame 332 is provided with a plug-in frame 3321, and the cleaning tool 34 is provided with a plug hole matched with the plug-in frame 3321.
[0053] In the above technical solution, the outer circumference of the plug-in frame 3321 is also provided with an air bag (not shown in the figure). When it is necessary to install the cleaning tool 34, the plug-in frame 3321 is inserted into the plug hole of the cleaning tool 34, and then the air bag is inflated to accurately fix the cleaning tool 34, so that the sliding frame 332 can accurately drive the cleaning tool 34 to move into the fixed frame 331. When it is necessary to disassemble the cleaning tool 34, the air in the air bag is discharged, so that there is no friction between the plug-in frame 3321 and the plug hole, and the cleaning tool 34 can be accurately removed and disassembled.
[0054] Referring to Figures 7-8 As shown in the preferred technical solution of the embodiment, the cleaning tool 34 comprises a mounting frame 341, a rotating shaft 342 and a tool head 343. The mounting frame 341 is located in the clamping interval, the rotating shaft 342 is installed in the middle of the mounting frame 341 through a bearing, the mounting seat is installed at the upper end of the rotating shaft 342, the mounting seat is inserted into the driving end 323, and the tool head 343 is installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 342.
[0055] In the above technical solution, the mounting frame 341 is fixed in the clamping interval by the pressing mechanism 334. When it is necessary to deburr the product, the driving end 323 is moved downward, so that the driving end 323 can be inserted into the mounting seat, and the driving end 323 can drive the rotating shaft 342 and the tool head 343 to rotate at high speed, so that the tool head 343 can accurately grind the product to achieve the purpose of deburring.
[0056] The tool head 343 is one of a rotary file, a grinding wheel, a grinding head, and a brush, and different types of tool heads can be replaced according to actual use requirements, such as using a high-speed rotating rotary file to directly cut and remove metal burrs, which is suitable for hard and large burrs (such as castings, machined steel parts, and stainless steel); using high-speed moving abrasive belts or abrasive materials on a rotating grinding wheel for grinding, which can remove burrs, perform large amount of grinding, rounding, surface roughing / polishing, and polishing; rotating grinding tools of various shapes (conical, cylindrical, spherical, etc.) made of abrasive cloth, nylon fiber, and ceramic abrasive; removing burrs and flash through grinding and polishing, and improving surface finish; removing burrs by scraping and grinding of bristles (metal wire, nylon, ceramic fiber, and pig bristles), which is especially good at processing small and cross-hole burrs, and simultaneously rounding edges, and performing surface texture processing and cleaning.
[0057] In addition, the application also provides an automatic tool changing system of the deburring robot, which comprises a connecting frame 4, a shell frame 5, and a tool changing unit 6. The connecting frame 4 is fixedly installed outside the fixed sleeve 31. The shell frame 5 is installed at the lower end of the connecting frame 4 and is sleeved outside the fixed sleeve 31. The tool changing unit 6 is installed inside the shell frame 5. The tool changing unit 6 can automatically adjust and replace the cleaning tool 34 inside the clamping assembly 33.

[0059] In the above technical solution, in order to facilitate automatic replacement of the cleaning tool 34, the tool changing unit 6 is installed outside the fixed sleeve 31. When the cleaning tool 34 needs to be automatically replaced, first, the rotating cylinder 61 is rotated by a certain angle, so that the sliding frame 332 can correspond to the empty placing groove on the placing frame 62 when the sliding frame 332 is extended, and the used cleaning tool 34 can be placed in the placing groove. Then, the rotating cylinder 61 is rotated by a certain angle again, so that the to-be-used cleaning tool 34 moves to a position corresponding to the sliding frame 332. The plug-in frame 3321 on the sliding frame 332 can accurately match the plug hole on the cleaning tool 34, so as to fix the cleaning tool 34. When the sliding frame 332 returns with the cleaning tool 34, the function of automatically replacing the cleaning tool 34 is completed, without manual operation, thereby improving the deburring efficiency of the workpiece.
[0060] It should be noted that the distance between the two clamping plates 333 located on the same side of the sliding frame 332 is greater than the width of the placement rack 62, so that when the sliding frame 332 is extended outward to clamp and fix the cleaning tool 34, the clamping plates 333 can accurately wrap the upper end of the cleaning tool 34, facilitating the replacement of the cleaning tool 34.
