Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flange processing equipment technology, specifically to a flange processing device and its processing system. Background Technology
[0002] Flange processing equipment is a machine tool used to produce and process flanges. Processing metal workpieces into flanges typically includes steps such as blank forming, turning, drilling, composite processing, and heat treatment.
[0003] Publication No. CN120587938A discloses a flange CNC machining equipment, including a feeding and bearing assembly and a cleaning and discharging assembly. The feeding and bearing assembly has a bolt-assembled clamping and displacement component on its inner side, and a product body is clamped on the clamping and displacement component. The feeding and bearing assembly also has a bolt-connected drilling and tapping mechanism on its outer side. A bolt-connected cleaning and discharging assembly is located on one outer end of the feeding and bearing assembly. The feeding and bearing assembly includes a pad, a cabinet, a bolt bracket, a slotted table, an end-to-end pneumatic frame, a fall arrestor, a mounting plate, a control panel, a housing, and a pneumatic valve. The device comprises a plate and a support chamber. A cabinet is mounted on the top side of the pad, and bolt brackets are mounted around the upper perimeter of the cabinet. A slotted platform with bolt connections is mounted on the top of each bolt bracket. An end-to-end pneumatic frame is mounted above one end of the slotted platform, and a fall arrestor is mounted on the top of the end-to-end pneumatic frame. A sleeved mounting plate is mounted on the outer side of the end-to-end pneumatic frame, and a control panel is mounted on the outer side of the sleeved plate. A chamber is mounted above the sleeved plate, and a pneumatic valve plate is mounted inside the chamber. A support chamber with a sleeve is mounted on the top of the chamber. This device improves the processing efficiency of the equipment. In actual production, machine tools with special molds are typically used to manufacture flanges. During processing, the metal rod is first cut into multiple metal workpieces of the same size. The top of each workpiece is then machined and drilled to form the neck of the thin-walled flange. This neck is usually shorter to accommodate fuel and pneumatic lines. After the top of the thin-walled flange is cut, the workpiece is inverted, and the bottom is ground and bolt holes are drilled along the bottom edge. When processing the bottom of the workpiece, the neck of the thin-walled section needs to be fixed. In order to ensure that thin-walled flanges can be properly fixed during the process, a large clamping force is usually applied. However, due to the short wall thickness of the thin-walled part, excessive clamping force often causes the neck to deform easily. Existing equipment usually uses reinforcement ribs to strengthen the thin-walled neck of the flange or subsequent heat treatment repair. However, both of the above methods require additional processing steps (cutting reinforcement ribs or heat treatment shaping) after the thin-walled flange is processed, which reduces the actual production efficiency of the equipment. There is room for further improvement in the clamping effect of the existing equipment when producing thin-walled flanges. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Example Please see Figures 1 to 9 A flange processing device includes a main body 1, a control center 10 fixedly connected to one top end of the main body 1, a moving component 12 fixedly connected to the top of the main body 1, a cutting component 11 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the moving component 12, a cutting head 110 fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the cutting component 11, and a fixing component 2 fixedly connected to the top output end of the moving component 12. In actual production, machine tools with special molds are typically used to manufacture flanges. During processing, the metal rod is first cut into multiple metal workpieces of the same size. The top of each workpiece is then machined and drilled to form the neck of the thin-walled flange. This neck is usually shorter to accommodate fuel and pneumatic lines. After the top of the thin-walled flange is cut, the workpiece is inverted, and the bottom is ground and bolt holes are drilled along the bottom edge. When processing the bottom of the workpiece, the neck of the thin-walled section needs to be fixed. In order to ensure that thin-walled flanges can be properly fixed during the process, a large clamping force is usually applied. However, due to the short wall thickness of the thin-walled part, excessive clamping force often causes the neck to deform easily. Existing equipment usually uses reinforcement ribs to strengthen the thin-walled neck of the flange or subsequent heat treatment repair. However, both of the above methods require additional processing steps (cutting reinforcement ribs or heat treatment shaping) after the thin-walled flange is processed, which reduces the actual production efficiency of the equipment. There is room for further improvement in the clamping effect of the existing equipment when producing thin-walled flanges. This invention discloses a flange processing device and its processing system. The main body 1 of the device is externally connected to a cutting device, which cuts a metal rod into multiple metal workpieces and transports the workpieces to the main body 1. An externally connected turning assembly is used, controlled by a control center 10, to cut the top of the metal workpieces until the top and neck of the thin-walled flange are cut out. The partially processed thin-walled flange is manually transported to a fixing assembly 2 on the main body 1. The fixing assembly 2 then fixes the neck of the thin-walled flange. The fixing assembly 2 then activates a cutting assembly 11 and a cutting head 110 to grind and drill the bottom of the thin-walled flange. After processing, the inner hole and outer wall of the thin-walled flange are precision ground. In this step, a relatively large amount of material is typically applied to ensure the thin-walled flange can be properly fixed. The clamping force is sufficient, but due to the short wall thickness of the thin-walled part, excessive clamping force often causes the neck to deform easily. This often requires additional steps to reshape the inner wall of the thin-walled flange after production, resulting in low production quality. In the above steps, this application clamps the inner and outer walls of the thin-walled flange simultaneously, so that the fixing component 2 can fix the neck of the thin-walled flange while the overall clamping force applied to the thin wall is low. The vacuum adsorption at the adsorption chamber 220 further improves the stability of the thin-walled flange during the clamping process, reduces its rotation under the influence of the cutting head 110, improves the fixing stability of the thin-walled flange, and reduces the possibility of large clamping forces damaging the neck of the thin-walled flange. This improves the processing effect of the thin-walled flange when the device processes it, making it easier for users to use. Please see Figures 3 to 5Further, as described above, the fixing component 2 includes two vacuum adsorption components 20, which are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom inner wall of the fixing component 2. Each vacuum adsorption component 20 consists of an adsorption fan, an exhaust port, and a processing unit. A first linear drive component 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum adsorption component 20. Specifically, the first linear drive component 21 is a bidirectional push rod. A first output rod 210 is fixedly connected to both output ends of the first linear drive component 21. A first connecting frame 211 is fixedly connected to the first output rod 210 away from the center of the fixing component 2. A first through rod 212 is fixedly connected to the top of the first connecting frame 211. A first through rod 212 is fixedly connected to the first output rod 210 near the center of the fixing component 2. A second connecting frame 214 is fixedly connected, and a second through rod 215 is fixedly connected to the top of the second connecting frame 214. The first through rod 212 and the second through rod 215 pass through the fixing assembly 2 and extend to the outer side of the top of the fixing assembly 2. An outer clamp 213 and an adjustment chamber 23 are fixedly connected to the extension portions of the first through rod 212 and the second through rod 215, respectively. An inner clamp 22 is provided at one end of the adjustment chamber 23 near the outer clamp 213. The ends of the outer clamp 213 and the inner clamp 22 that are close to each other are both arc-shaped. An adsorption chamber 220 is fixedly connected inside the inner clamp 22. A conveying pipe 221 is fixedly connected to the front end of the adsorption chamber 220. The other end of the conveying pipe 221 is fixedly connected to the output end of the vacuum adsorption assembly 20. In the above steps, the neck of the thin-walled flange is placed at the top center of the fixing assembly 2. At this time, the two inner clamps 22 are inside the neck of the thin-walled flange, and the two outer clamps 213 are outside the neck of the thin-walled flange. Then, the internal program of the control center 10 is set to activate the two first linear drive assemblies 21. The activation of the first linear drive assemblies 21 retracts and moves the two first output rods 210. The movement of the two first output rods 210 drives the outer clamps 213 and the inner clamps 22 to move respectively, until the outer clamps 213 are tightly pressed against the outer wall of the neck of the thin-walled flange and the inner clamps 22 are tightly pressed against the inner wall of the neck of the thin-walled flange. At this time, the outer clamps 213 and the inner clamps 22 cooperate to clamp the neck of the thin-walled flange. Under the bidirectional action of the clamping force, the inner and outer sides of the same inner wall of the neck of the thin-walled flange are clamped. Compared with the existing equipment that uses electric clamps to only clamp the outer wall of the neck of the thin-walled flange, this method is more effective. In terms of clamping, this application ensures uniform force at the clamping position of the thin-walled flange neck. At the same time, the device can fix the neck of the thin-walled flange without large clamping force, reducing the possibility of the thin-walled flange neck being damaged by clamping. After the above process is completed, the internal program of the control center 10 is set to activate two vacuum adsorption components 20. The activation of the vacuum adsorption components 20 generates negative pressure at the adsorption chamber 220 through the delivery pipe 221, that is, negative pressure is generated at the inner clamp 22 and the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck. At this time, the adsorption capacity at the adsorption chamber 220 fixes the neck of the thin-walled flange, making it difficult for it to move. This reduces the possibility of the thin-walled flange rotating between the outer clamp 213 and the inner clamp 22 due to the cutting motion of the cutting head 110 when the outer clamp 213 and the inner clamp 22 do not output a large clamping force. This improves the processing effect of the device on the thin-walled flange and makes it easier for users to use. Please see Figures 5 to 9 Further, as described above, the regulating chamber 23 includes a first piston plate 234, which is movably connected inside the regulating chamber 23. A first connecting rod 235 is fixedly connected to one end of the first piston plate 234 near the inner clamp 22. The first connecting rod 235 passes through the regulating chamber 23 and is fixedly connected to the inner clamp 22. A plurality of elastic elements 236, specifically springs, are fixedly connected between the first piston plate 234 and the regulating chamber 23. Side chambers 24 are fixedly connected to the front and rear surfaces of the regulating chamber 23. A connecting pipe 240 is fixedly connected between chambers 23. A second piston plate 241 is movably connected inside the side chamber 24. A second connecting rod 242 is fixedly connected to one end of the second piston plate 241 near the outer clamp 213. The second connecting rod 242 passes through the side chamber 24 and a mounting plate 243 is fixedly connected to its extension. A push rod 244 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting plate 243 away from the second connecting rod 242, and the push rod 244 is set in an inclined shape. A side pressure column 245 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 244 away from the mounting plate 243. Because the material of metal rods usually contains certain impurities, the rigidity of the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck is not the same during the machining of thin-walled flanges. The turning assembly generates a huge radial force during turning. In the area of high rigidity of the thin-walled flange neck, its inner wall hardly deforms. In the area of low rigidity, the workpiece material will undergo slight elastic deformation (tool deflection) under the thrust of the turning assembly, instead of being completely removed. This results in inconsistent internal dimensions of the thin-walled flange neck without fine finishing. At this time, when the inner clamp 22 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck, it only supports the high point of the inner wall, while the low point does not contact the inner clamp 22. The contact mode of the inner clamp 22 on the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck changes from surface contact to point contact, resulting in a reduction in the support force of the device. The regulating chamber 23 is filled with liquid. During the aforementioned steps, when the inner clamp 22 is pressed tightly against the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck, the internal program of the control center 10 controls the first linear drive assembly 21 to continue retracting and moving closer to the first output rod 210 of the thin-walled flange. At this time, the inner clamp 22 generates a thrust at the thin-walled flange neck. Since the thrust from the inner clamp 22 is insufficient to deform the thin-walled flange neck, the reverse thrust acts on the inner clamp 22, causing the first connecting rod 235 to move towards the center of the thin-walled flange neck. The movement of the first connecting rod 235 drives the first piston plate 234 to move linearly within the regulating chamber 23. The movement of the first piston plate 234 increases the internal air pressure of the regulating chamber 23 and transports the liquid inside the regulating chamber 23 to the two side chambers 24 through the connecting pipe 240. The elastic element 236 undergoes compressive elastic deformation. When the liquid enters the side chamber 24, its internal air pressure increases, which drives the second piston plate 241 to move linearly away from the center of the thin-walled flange. The movement of the second piston plate 241 drives the push rod 244 to move through the second connecting rod 242 and the mounting plate 243. The movement of the push rod 244 drives the side pressure column 245 to move until the side pressure column 245 is in close contact with the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck. At this time, there are two inner clamps 22 and four inclined side pressure columns 245 in close contact inside the thin-walled flange neck, a total of six support points supporting the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck. This application increases the contact area with the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck so that it can still support and fix the inner wall of the thin-walled flange when the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck is unevenly machined. At the same time, the device can use thin-walled flanges of most sizes for fixing and support, improving the applicability of the device and making it easier for users to use. In response to the different internal curvature dimensions of thin-walled flanges, some side pressure columns 245 may not be in contact with the inside of the thin-walled flange. In this case, the device can continue to activate the first linear drive assembly 21 as described above. At this time, the inner clamp 22 contacts the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck, and one of the side pressure columns 245 contacts the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck. The distance between the two contact points and the inner wall no longer changes. At this time, the regulating chamber continues to deliver liquid, so that the liquid flows into the side chamber 24 where the side pressure column 245 has not yet made contact with the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck. The continued delivery of liquid causes the side pressure column 245 to continue to move towards the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck until the side pressure column 245 makes contact with the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck, further increasing the applicability and operational stability of the device and making it easier for users to use. Please see Figures 5 to 8 Furthermore, as described above, the inner clamp 22 also includes a side guard frame 222, which is slidably connected to the outer surface of the adsorption chamber 220. A sealing head 223 is fixedly connected to one end of the side guard frame 222 away from the center of the fixing component 2, and the sealing head 223 is made of rubber. Two telescopic plates 225 are fixedly connected to one end of the side guard frame 222 near the center of the fixing component 2. A receiving plate 230 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting chamber 23 near the telescopic plate 225. The telescopic plate 225 is sleeved inside the receiving plate 230, and an elastic rod is fixedly connected between the telescopic plate 225 and the receiving plate 230. In the above steps, when the inner clamp 22 fails to fully fit the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck and the surface contact becomes a point contact, the adsorption chamber 220 fails to achieve a seal. The adsorption chamber 220 cannot generate sufficient negative pressure to fix the thin-walled flange neck. Initially, the sealing head 223 is housed inside the inner clamp 22 for protection, preventing it from contacting external objects and causing wear when not in use. When this occurs, the inner clamp 22 moves in the same way, causing the side guard frame 222 and the sealing head 223 to move. The movement of the side guard frame 222 causes the telescopic plate 225 to move within the receiving plate 230. The movement of the telescopic plate 225 causes the elastic rod to undergo elastic deformation, and its elastic force acts in the opposite direction on the telescopic plate 225, causing it to move. The movement of the telescopic plate 225, through the side guard frame 222, causes the sealing head 223 to move... As the inner clamp 22 moves, the sealing head 223 extends out from within the inner clamp 22 and comes into contact with the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck. With the continued movement of the inner clamp 22, the contact area between the sealing head 223 and the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck increases until it completely covers the flange. Since the sealing head 223 is made of rubber, it blocks the gap between the inner clamp 22 and the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck, thus creating a closed space in the adsorption chamber 220 again, ensuring continued adsorption capacity. Simultaneously, the elastic deformation of the elastic rod and the sealing head 223 itself allows the inner clamp 22 to continue moving even after the sealing head 223 has covered the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck, improving the stability of the device and facilitating its use. Furthermore, the rubber material is high-temperature resistant rubber, and the heat generated and transferred to the rubber during flange processing is insufficient to damage it. Please see Figures 5 to 7 Furthermore, as described above, the bottom of the side guard frame 222 is provided with multiple pressure relief grooves 224, and the bottom of the inner clamp 22 is slidably connected to a slide plate 226. The slide plate 226 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the side guard frame 222. Two fixing brackets 233 are fixedly connected to one end of the slide plate 226 near the center of the fixing component 2. Two second linear drive components 231 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjustment chamber 23. The second linear drive component 231 is specifically an electric push rod. A second output rod 232 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second linear drive component 231 away from the center of the fixing component 2. The second output rod 232 is fixedly connected to the fixing bracket 233. When the thin-walled flange is finished and needs to be unloaded, the adsorption capacity of the adsorption chamber 220 at the inner clamp 22 allows it to maintain adsorption force for a period of time even when the vacuum adsorption component 20 is closed. Initially, the slide plate 226 and the inner clamp 22 are tightly attached to the inner wall of the thin-walled flange neck. The slide plate 226 blocks the pressure relief groove 224 from the bottom. At this time, the user can activate the two second linear drive components 231 through the control center 10 to retract and move the second output rod 232. The movement of the second output rod 232 drives the fixed frame 233 to move. The movement of the two fixed frames 233 drives the slide plate 226 to move. After the slide plate 226 moves, the inner clamp 22 no longer forms a closed space. Outside air can rush into the adsorption chamber 220 through the pressure relief groove 224 to relieve pressure. At this time, the user can easily unload the thin-walled flange neck. Thus, the device ensures stable use of vacuum adsorption capacity while facilitating the unloading of thin-walled flanges after adsorption, improving the production efficiency of the device and making it convenient for users. Please see Figures 5 to 7 Furthermore, in the above description, the surface of the end of the skateboard 226 near the outer clamp 213 is set to be arc-shaped, and the arc of the skateboard 226 is the same as the arc of the inner clamp 22. The fact that the arc settings of the slide plate 226 and the inner clamp 22 are the same reduces the situation where the difference in arc settings between the slide plate 226 and the inner clamp 22 when the outer clamp 213 and the inner clamp 22 clamp the thin-walled flange from the outer wall and the inner wall, causing the inner clamp 22 to be unable to fit against the inner wall of the thin-walled flange and reducing the fixing effect of the device, thus ensuring the normal operation of the device.
