Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of iron core processing, and particularly relates to a double-station iron core cutting machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of modern mechanical processing industry, the mechanization degree of cutting of transformer, sensor, mutual inductor and inductor iron cores is higher and higher. The transformer, sensor, mutual inductor and inductor iron cores are generally made of silicon steel sheets. The silicon steel is a kind of steel containing silicon. The reason why the silicon steel is used to make the iron cores of the transformer, sensor, mutual inductor and inductor is that the silicon steel itself is a kind of magnetic material with strong magnetic permeability. In the energized coil, the silicon steel can generate a large magnetic induction intensity, so as to reduce the volume of the transformer.

[0003] Chinese patent CN202121756263.7 discloses a cutting machine for iron core production and processing. The cutting machine comprises a base, a movable clamping block movably arranged in the base, a fixed clamping block fixedly arranged on the surface of the base and located on one side of the movable clamping block, a collecting plate movably arranged in the base, a first electric push rod fixedly installed on the surface of the base, a cutting device body arranged on one side of the first electric push rod, a motor fixedly installed on the surface of the base, and a screw rod fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The screw nut base moves with the rotation of the screw rod, so that the screw nut base can drive the movable clamping block to move through the connecting plate, the movable clamping block can push the iron core with the assistance of the fixed clamping block, and the cutting device body can cut the iron core, thereby achieving automatic cutting and reducing the operation time of the workers.

[0004] However, the technical solution has certain deficiencies in use. The cutting tools (such as grinding wheel sheets) in the cutting device are inevitably worn and consumed in use. Like traditional devices, manual replacement is required when the cutting tools are worn and consumed. However, manual replacement has safety hazards and the operation process is complicated. The replacement process involves multiple steps, including power-off, disassembly of old sheets, cleaning, installation of new sheets and checking of firmness, and requires the operator to have certain skills and patience, which affects the work efficiency. Manual replacement of the grinding wheel sheets requires shutdown operation, which directly leads to production interruption and reduces work efficiency in the case of frequent replacement. SUMMARY

[0044] Example 1: As Figures 5-19 As shown, this embodiment provides a dual-station iron core cutting machine. The dual-station iron core cutting machine includes a frame 1 and a machine cover 101 on the frame 1. A feeding assembly 11 and a cutting assembly 12 are mounted on the frame 1. A selection mechanism 2 and a changing mechanism 3 are provided on one side of the machine cover 101. The selection mechanism 2 includes a selection seat 201 located on one side of the machine cover 101. Two sets of supports 202 are fixedly connected to the selection seat 201. A deflection box 203 is movably connected to the upper end of the two sets of supports 202. Four sets of deflection frames 204 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the deflection box 203. Different specifications of grinding wheels are stored in the four sets of deflection frames 204. The four sets of deflection frames 204 are each equipped with RFID identification tags. A guide seat 208 is provided on one side of the selection seat 201, and an RFID reader / writer is provided at the feeding end of the guide seat 208. The changing mechanism 3 includes a changing seat 301 located on one side of the selection seat 201. A side plate 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the changing seat 301. A feeding groove 3021 is provided on the side plate 302. A guide cover 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the side plate 302. A discharge groove 3031 is provided on the guide cover 303. The changing mechanism 3 also includes a pushing component 31, a docking component 32, and an adsorption component 33 located on the changing seat 301.

[0045] In this embodiment, grinding wheels of different specifications are stored by RFID identification tags on four sets of deflection frames 204 and driven by deflection box 203. During driving, the wheels are identified by RFID reader on guide seat 208, thereby realizing the selection of grinding wheels of different specifications. After feeding, the wheels are input into the wheel changing mechanism 3 for automated wheel changing.

[0046] The feeding assembly 11 includes: a rotating seat 111, which is movably connected to the rotary table 102; a rotary motor 1111, which is located below the rotating seat 111; a clamping seat 112, which is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 111; a positioning seat 113, which is located on the clamping seat 112; a clamp 114, which is located outside the positioning seat 113; and a cutting fluid nozzle 115, which is located on the positioning seat 113.

[0047] In this embodiment, the workpiece is clamped and positioned on the positioning seat 113 by the clamp 114 in the clamping seat 112, and the workpiece is driven to rotate by the rotary motor 1111 to achieve rapid alternating clamping of the two stations. The cutting fluid nozzle 115 sprays out cutting fluid to cool the workpiece and prevent overheating during the cutting process.

[0048] The cutting assembly 12 includes: a cutting stand 121, which is mounted on the flow guide seat 103; a longitudinal telescopic cover 122, which is located below the cutting stand 121; a displacement module 1221, which is located inside the longitudinal telescopic cover 122; a base plate 123, which is mounted on the longitudinal telescopic cover 122; a vertical telescopic cover 124, which is mounted on the cutting stand 121; a lifting module 1241, which is located inside the vertical telescopic cover 124; a motor housing 125, which is mounted on the vertical telescopic cover 124; a motor base 1251, which is fixedly connected inside the vertical telescopic cover 124; a protective telescopic cover 1252, which is located outside the motor housing 125; and an electric hinge 1253, which is located outside the protective telescopic cover 1252.

[0049] The cutting assembly 12 also includes: a variable frequency motor 126, which is mounted on a motor base 1251; an output end 1261, which is located at one end of the variable frequency motor 126; a fastener 1262, which is mounted on the output end 1261; a stainless steel bolt 1263, which is threaded onto the output end 1261; a grinding wheel a1264, which is clamped between the output end 1261 and the fastener 1262; an annular pressure sensor 1265, which is fitted inside the fastener 1262; an internal thread 1266, which is formed on the inner wall of the annular pressure sensor 1265; and four thermoelectric modules 1267, which are fitted inside the fastener 1262.

[0050] In this embodiment, the overall lifting and movement of the cutting equipment is achieved through the displacement module 1221 and the lifting module 1241 to realize movement and vertical cutting. The variable frequency motor 126 controls the speed of the grinding wheel by controlling the output current of the frequency converter. During the cutting process, the longitudinal telescopic cover 122, the vertical telescopic cover 124 and the protective telescopic cover 1252 adapt to the displacement while providing waterproof protection for the internal instruments to prevent the entry of cutting fluid and debris, and at the same time protect the safety of the operators.

[0051] The grinding wheel a1264 is installed by screwing a stainless steel bolt 1263 through the fastener 1262 and the grinding wheel a1264 and tightening it onto the output end 1261. Simultaneously, the inner side of the fastener 1262 is pressed firmly onto the grinding wheel a1264. The four sets of thermoelectric modules 1267 are bismuth telluride-based, directly converting absorbed heat energy into electrical energy through the Seebeck effect. During the cutting process, the uneven heating of the grinding wheel a1264 creates a temperature difference. The directional movement of charge carriers caused by this temperature difference across the thermoelectric modules 1267 generates voltage, thus collecting and utilizing heat. This voltage is then used for the ring pressure sensor 12. Power is supplied to 65. The ring structure of the ring pressure sensor 1265 converts pressure and axial force into electrical signals. Wear or damage to the grinding wheel a1264 will cause changes in cutting force. After wear, the cutting force increases, and when damaged, the force signal will drop sharply or fluctuate. The ring pressure sensor 1265 can capture these force signal changes by monitoring the forces on the grinding wheel such as axial force and bending moment in real time, thereby indirectly judging the condition of the grinding wheel a1264, detecting the damage of the grinding wheel a1264, providing real-time feedback on the condition of the grinding wheel a1264, and facilitating timely replacement operations to ensure production efficiency.

[0052] The film selection mechanism 2 includes a film selection motor 206 located on one side of the bracket 202. Four sets of electric push rods 207 are installed inside the deflection box 203. The four sets of electric push rods 207 are movably inserted into the through holes on the deflection frame 204. The four sets of deflection frames 204 are fixedly connected to the deflection box 203 through right-angle ribs 205.

[0053] In this embodiment, the selection motor 206 drives the sorting of grinding wheels of different specifications within the four sets of deflection frames 204, and the four sets of electric push rods 207 send the selected grinding wheels into the wheel changing mechanism 3 for wheel changing.

[0054] The pushing component 31 includes: a feeding frame 311, which is located inside the changing plate holder 301; a discharge end 312, which is located at one end of the feeding frame 311 and is connected to the feeding trough 3021; ​​a feeding opening 313, which is opened on one side of the feeding frame 311; a guide rail 314, which is located below the feeding frame 311; a feeding motor 315, which is located below the guide rail 314; and a push plate 316, which is movably connected to the guide rail 314.

[0055] In this embodiment, the feeding frame 311 consists of four frame plates, and springs are provided on the frame plates. The guide seat 208 and the electric push rod 207 can push the grinding wheels of different specifications to the storage. The grinding wheels inside are driven by the feeding motor 315 to rotate the drive component in the guide rail 314. The drive component drives the push plate 316 to move through the threaded connection, pushing the grinding wheels from the feed groove 3021 into the guide cover 303. Under the guidance of the guide cover 303 and the weight of the grinding wheels themselves, they slide down to the discharge groove 3031, so as to realize the automatic feeding of the grinding wheels.

[0056] The docking assembly 32 includes: a docking seat 321, which is located at the lower end of the side plate 302; an output plate 322, which is movably connected to the docking seat 321; a docking motor 323, which is mounted below the docking seat 321; a lead screw 324, which is movably connected to the docking seat 321; a pulley 325, which is located at one end of the output shaft of the docking motor 323 and the lead screw 324; a belt 326, which is located on the pulley 325; a nut 327, which is located on the output plate 322; an electromagnetic sleeve 328, which is fixedly connected to; a hexagonal hole 3281, which is located on one side of the electromagnetic sleeve 328; an electromagnetic base 3282, which is located at the other end of the lead screw 324; and a connecting rod 3283, which is fixedly connected to the electromagnetic base 3282.

[0057] In this embodiment, the rotation of the lead screw 324 is achieved by driving the docking motor 323 and the belt 326 on the pulley 325. The rotation is achieved by the threaded connection between the nut 327 and the lead screw 324 and the guide rod, thereby displacing the output plate 322 and further realizing the docking and pushing of the grinding wheel.

[0058] The electromagnetic sleeve 328 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 324 via the connecting rod 3283, so that it will rotate when the lead screw 324 pushes and rotates. The electromagnetic sleeve 328 is given magnetic force through the electromagnetic seat 3282, and the stainless steel bolt 1263 is attracted and fixed by the magnetic force. Thus, the stainless steel bolt 1263 can be disassembled by fixing and rotating in both directions.

[0060] The adsorption assembly 33 further includes: a fastening hollow frame 332, which is located inside the grinding wheel hollow frame 331; a connector b3321, which is located on the fastening hollow frame 332; four sets of fastening suction cups 3322, which are located on the fastening hollow frame 332; an annular tube b3323, which is located outside the four sets of fastening suction cups 3322; an air inlet pipe b3324, which is connected to one side of the annular tube b3323; and an air outlet pipe b3325. 325 is connected through to the other side of the annular pipe b3323; circulating air pump 333 is installed inside the output plate 322; air outlet 3331 is located on the circulating air pump 333; air inlet 3332 is located on the circulating air pump 333; solenoid valve 334 is located on the air inlet pipe a3314 and air outlet pipe a3315, as well as the air inlet pipe b3324 and air outlet pipe b3325; grinding wheel b335 is located on the outside of the output plate 322.

[0061] In this embodiment, the air outlet 3331 of the circulating air pump 333 is connected to the annular pipes a3313 and b3323 via the air inlet pipes a3314 and b3324, and the air inlet 3332 is connected to the annular pipes a3313 and b3323 via the air outlet pipes a3315 and b3325. This enables the circulating air pump 333 to connect with the four sets of grinding wheel suction cups 3312 on the annular pipe a3313 and the four sets of fastening suction cups 3322 on the annular pipe b3323, and to be controlled by the solenoid valve 334. Thus, the circulating air pump 333 can independently or simultaneously charge and de-charge the four sets of grinding wheel suction cups 3312 and the four sets of fastening suction cups 3322.

[0062] Example 2: Figures 1-4 As shown, components that are the same as or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are referred to using the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 are described below. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0063] A rotary table 102 and a flow guide seat 103 are provided on the frame 1. A waste liquid recovery unit 104 is provided under the flow guide seat 103. An electrical control box 105 is provided under the rotary table 102. An infrared photoelectric safety light curtain sensor 106 is provided at the feed inlet of the machine cover 101. A three-color alarm light 107 is provided on the machine cover 101. A PLC touch screen 108 is provided on the side of the machine cover 101. An emergency stop button group 109 is provided below the PLC touch screen 108.

[0064] In this embodiment, during cutting, the guide seat 103 can collect the cutting fluid into the waste fluid recovery unit 104. The waste fluid recovery unit 104 includes a circulating water pump and an industrial nozzle magnetic separation mechanism. The magnetic separation mechanism consists of a magnetic roller and a scraper, allowing the cutting fluid to pass through the magnetic roller and scraper to remove cutting residues contained in the cutting fluid. The system is centrally controlled via the electrical control box 105 and the PLC touch screen 108, and has manual operation for each process and automatic operation for the entire machine. The control system has memory and counting functions, and the product parameters input by the operator can be saved for easy retrieval later. The infrared beam safety light curtain sensor 106 prevents rotational damage to the rotating mechanism during manual loading and clamping. When the workpiece passes through, it will block part of the light beam. The size is determined by calculating the number of blocked beams, which facilitates the subsequent selection of a grinding wheel of the corresponding specification for cutting. The emergency stop button group 109 has a reset function for starting the equipment and stopping the equipment in an emergency. When the equipment stops abnormally, it can be set to automatically restore the initial state on the PLC touch screen 108. During operation, the three-color alarm light 107 can provide audible and visual alarms for abnormal conditions.

[0065] Work steps

[0066] Step 1, material loading process: Turn on the power supply of the electrical control box 105, select the automatic operation mode through the PLC touch screen 108, the infrared beam safety light curtain sensor 106 performs safety area detection, and the three-color alarm light 107 displays the equipment ready status.

[0067] The iron core to be cut is manually placed on the fixture 114, the positioning seat 113 accurately positions the workpiece, the fixture 114 automatically clamps the workpiece, and the rotary motor 1111 drives the rotary seat 111 to rotate the workpiece to the cutting station to complete the loading.

[0068] When the workpiece passes through the feed, it will block part of the beam. The size is determined by calculating the number of blocked beams, which makes it easier to select and match the corresponding grinding wheel for cutting.

[0069] Step 2, Cutting process: The overall lifting and moving of the cutting equipment is realized through the displacement module 1221 and the lifting module 1241 to achieve moving and vertical cutting. The variable frequency motor 126 controls the speed of the grinding wheel by controlling the output current of the frequency converter. The variable frequency motor 126 drives the grinding wheel a1264 to rotate at high speed and contact the workpiece for cutting.

[0070] During the cutting process, cutting fluid is sprayed out through the cutting fluid nozzle 115 to cool the workpiece and prevent overheating during the cutting process; dynamic protection is provided by the longitudinal telescopic cover 122, the vertical telescopic cover 124 and the protective telescopic cover 1252, which can also provide waterproof protection for the internal instruments, prevent the entry of cutting fluid and debris, and protect the safety of the operators.

[0071] During the cutting process, the guide seat 103 collects the cutting fluid into the waste fluid recovery unit 104. The cutting fluid is cleaned of cutting residues by the magnetic roller and scraper, and then sprayed by the circulating water pump.

[0072] During the cutting process, the PLC system records production parameters and monitors the equipment status in real time. The emergency stop button group 109 can quickly stop the machine in an emergency. When the equipment malfunctions, the three-color alarm light 107 emits an audible and visual alarm. The system automatically saves the working status and can continue to run after restoration.

[0073] After the cutting is completed, the rotary table 102 drives the feeding assembly 11 to switch stations. The workpiece at the new station begins to be cut, while the completed station is unloaded.

[0074] Step 3, Grinding wheel condition monitoring process: During the cutting process, the fastener 1262 is tightened by the stainless steel bolt 1263, so that the four sets of thermoelectric modules 1267 on the fastener 1262 are in close contact with the grinding wheel a1264. The four sets of thermoelectric modules 1267 are bismuth telluride based, and the absorbed heat energy is directly converted into electrical energy through the Seebeck effect. During the cutting process, the uneven heating of the grinding wheel a1264 creates a temperature difference. The directional movement of charge carriers caused by the temperature difference at both ends of the thermoelectric module 1267 generates a voltage, so that heat can be collected and utilized, and power is supplied to the ring pressure sensor 1265.

[0075] The annular pressure sensor 1265 monitors the stress state of the grinding wheel a1264 in real time. The annular structure of the annular pressure sensor 1265 converts pressure and axial force into electrical signals. Wear or breakage of the grinding wheel a1264 will cause changes in cutting force. After wear, the cutting force increases, and when it breaks, the force signal will drop sharply or fluctuate. By monitoring the forces on the grinding wheel such as axial force and bending moment in real time, the annular pressure sensor 1265 can capture these force signal changes, thereby indirectly judging the state of the grinding wheel a1264 and detecting damage to the grinding wheel a1264 to provide real-time feedback on the state of the grinding wheel a1264. When a wear or breakage signal of the grinding wheel is detected, the wheel replacement process is automatically triggered.

[0076] Step 4, New Grinding Wheel Selection Process: The selection motor 206 drives the deflection box 203 to rotate the four sets of deflection frames 204. During the drive, the RFID reader on the guide seat 208 identifies the RFID tags on the four sets of deflection frames 204, thereby selecting grinding wheels b335 of different specifications. The corresponding deflection frame 204 stops on the guide seat 208. The four sets of electric push rods 207 push the selected grinding wheel b335 in the deflection frame 204 outward. The grinding wheel b335 overcomes the resistance of the elastic edges on both sides of the deflection frame 204 and is then guided by the guide seat 208 and fed into the feeding frame 311 to complete the selection and feeding process.

[0077] When a new grinding wheel b335 enters the feeding frame 311, the pressure from the electric push rod 207 causes the four frame plates of the feeding frame 311 to overcome the rebound force of the telescopic spring and store grinding wheels b335 of different specifications.

[0078] Step 5, old grinding wheel removal process: The screw 324 is rotated clockwise by the drive of the motor 323 and the belt 326 on the pulley 325. The rotation is achieved by the threaded connection between the nut 327 and the screw 324 and the guide rod, so that the output plate 322 is displaced and inserted into the machine cover 101 and close to the cutting assembly 12.

[0079] The fastener 1262 and the grinding wheel a1264 are moved by the displacement module 1221 and the lifting module 1241, so that the fastener 1262 and the grinding wheel a1264 are in close contact with the fastening suction cup 3322 and the grinding wheel suction cup 3312 on the fastening hollow frame 332 and the grinding wheel hollow frame 331, respectively, and the stainless steel bolt 1263 is inserted into the hexagonal hole 3281 of the electromagnetic sleeve 328, thus completing the disassembly and docking.

[0080] During docking, the air inside the four sets of grinding wheel suction cups 3312 and the four sets of fastening suction cups 3322 is extracted through the air inlet 3332 of the circulating air pump 333, so that the negative pressure inside the suction cups adsorbs and fixes the fasteners 1262 and the grinding wheel a1264, and the laser positioning device and vision sensor on the output board 322 ensure the accuracy of docking.

[0081] The electromagnetic sleeve 328 is given a magnetic force by the electromagnetic base 3282, and the stainless steel bolt 1263 is attracted and fixed by the magnetic force. The screw 324 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction by the counterclockwise rotation of the docking motor 323. The reverse rotation of the screw 324 drives the electromagnetic sleeve 328 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction to drive the stainless steel bolt 1263. At the same time, the screw 324 drives the output plate 322 to retract.

[0082] After retracting to the designated position, close the air inlet pipes b3324 and outlet pipes b3325 on both sides of the annular tube b3323 of the four sets of fastening suction cups 3322, and the solenoid valve 334 on 3325, so that the four sets of fastening suction cups 3322 maintain negative pressure. Keep the solenoid valve 334 on both sides of the annular tube a3313 of the four sets of grinding wheel suction cups 3312 unobstructed. Inject air into the four sets of grinding wheel suction cups 3312 through the circulating air pump 333, so that the negative pressure in the four sets of grinding wheel suction cups 3312 disappears and releases the adsorption on the grinding wheel a1264. The grinding wheel a1264 falls into the collection unit below to complete the disassembly.

[0083] Step 6, New Grinding Wheel Replacement Process: The output plate 322 and the disassembled fasteners 1262 and stainless steel bolts 1263 are retracted to their initial positions, i.e., inside the guide cover 303. The drive component inside the guide rail 314 is rotated by the feeding motor 315. The drive component drives the push plate 316 to move through the threaded connection, pushing the outermost grinding wheel b335 in the new grinding wheel set from the feed groove 3021 into the guide cover 303. Guided by the guide cover 303 and the weight of the grinding wheel b335 itself, it slides down to the discharge groove 3031.

[0084] The screw 324 is driven to rotate clockwise by the docking motor 323, which in turn drives the output plate 322 and the four sets of grinding wheel suction cups 3312 to contact the grinding wheel b335. The four sets of grinding wheel suction cups 3312 adsorb and grasp the grinding wheel b335. The continuous movement of the output plate 322 connects the grinding wheel b335, the fastener 1262 and the stainless steel bolt 1263 to the output end 1261 of the frequency converter motor 126. The screw 324 drives the electromagnetic sleeve 328 to rotate clockwise to tighten the stainless steel bolt 1263, thus completing the automated wheel changing.

[0085] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
