Bearing markings are created using methods such as mechanical engraving, electro-etching, and laser engraving. Traditional bearing outer ring engraving equipment suffers from problems such as inaccurate positioning, inconsistent engraving depth, font distortion, low efficiency, and high manual labor intensity. While some automated engraving equipment can achieve a degree of automation, it still falls short in areas such as continuous feeding, precise positioning, preventing material accumulation, and seamless output connection.

[0028] The fully automatic continuous engraving device for bearing outer rings of the present invention includes the following steps during use: 1. Feeding and loading: The workpiece 7 (bearing outer ring) is placed into the feed rail in a manner in which the axial direction is parallel to the transverse direction of the frame 1. The workpiece 7 slides down the inclined surface of the feed slide plate 30 automatically towards the engraving station by gravity.

[0029] 2. Positioning and Blocking: When workpiece 7 slides to the engraving station, it triggers the first feed sensor and the tactile sensor. The piston rods of a pair of first feed blocking cylinders 34a extend to block subsequent workpieces 7 from sliding down; and the piston rod of the buffer cylinder 35 retracts. When the engraving station is idle, the piston rods of the pair of first feed blocking cylinders 34a retract, and the piston rod of the buffer cylinder 35 extends to stop and receive a workpiece 7 sliding down to the engraving station. When there is a workpiece 7 undergoing engraving at the engraving station, the piston rods of the pair of first feed blocking cylinders 34a extend to block subsequent workpieces 7 from sliding towards the engraving station, and the piston rod of the buffer cylinder 35 retracts. When the first feed sensor malfunctions, the second feed sensor detects workpiece 7, causing the piston rods of a pair of second feed blocking cylinders 34b to extend, blocking subsequent workpieces 7 from entering the engraving station.

[0030] 3. Clamping and Precise Engraving: The movable clamping wheel 5B of the clamping unit is in a high-position ready state when waiting for the material. Once the workpiece 7 enters the engraving station, it is circumferentially clamped by the fixed clamping wheel 5A and the movable clamping wheel 5B. Then, the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 42 extends and abuts against the large stop edge of the workpiece 7, pushing the workpiece axially towards the backrest 41, so that the positioning cylinder 42 and the backrest 41 axially fix the workpiece. Then, the servo motor 50 starts, causing the fixed clamping wheel 5A to drive the workpiece to rotate indexing. The CNC engraving machine 2B engraves characters sequentially at each designated position in the ring area of ​​the workpiece.

[0031] 4. Lowering and unloading: After the CNC engraving machine 2B finishes engraving, the front lifting mechanism of the clamping unit drives the movable clamping wheel 5B to descend, so that the workpiece falls to the discharge track.

[0032] 5. Pallet Conveying: The workpiece in the discharge track slides automatically along the inclined surface of the discharge slide plate 60 to the discharge pallet 66 on the rear end face of the frame 1 by gravity. This triggers the discharge sensor inside the discharge pallet 66, causing the rear lifting mechanism to raise the discharge pallet 66 to the picking position. After the workpiece is picked up, the discharge pallet 66 is lowered and reset by the rear lifting mechanism. If there is a workpiece in the discharge pallet 66 or the discharge pallet 66 has not descended to the correct position, the piston rod of the discharge blocking cylinder 65 extends, causing the discharge stop bar 63 to block subsequent workpieces from sliding into the discharge pallet 66 along the discharge slide plate 60. Once the discharge pallet 66 has descended to the correct position or there is no workpiece in the discharge pallet 66, the piston rod of the discharge blocking cylinder 65 retracts, causing the discharge stop bar 63 to release subsequent workpieces to slide into the discharge pallet 66.

[0033] 6. When the stacking sensor detects that the number of workpieces in the discharge track has reached a certain amount, the controller controls the CNC engraving machine 2B to stop engraving.

[0034] The above embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should also fall within the scope of the invention and should be defined by the claims.
