Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automated processing equipment, and in particular to a parts processing device. Background Technology
[0002] The processing of hardware components such as screws, rivets, and bearings has always been a crucial step. With continuous industrial development, the demand for hardware products is increasing daily, making it essential to improve the processing efficiency and quality of these components. Highly efficient and precise component processing technology can not only improve product quality and performance but also significantly reduce production costs, thereby enhancing a company's competitiveness in the market.
[0003] Reference Figure 1 There is a non-standard bolt with a stepped section 10 around its head, and one side wall of the stepped section 10 is inclined. The machining process of the stepped section 10 usually involves manual clamping of the non-standard bolt by workers, followed by cutting with cutting equipment such as a cold forging machine. However, clamping and changing materials need to be done manually, which is cumbersome and inefficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of mass production.
[0004] To address this issue, with the promotion and application of automated production, equipment that integrates automatic feeding and conveying with clamping fixtures has emerged. However, the feeding rate of most automatic feeding conveyors differs from the cutting rate of the clamping fixtures holding the parts; the feeding rate is much higher than the processing rate, making it difficult to achieve synchronized operation. Furthermore, when switching between different parts, the processing rates of those parts change, requiring frequent adjustments to the conveying rate, which is difficult to control precisely, thus limiting production speed. This problem urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to improve production speed, this application provides a spare parts processing apparatus.
[0006] This application provides a spare parts processing device, which adopts the following technical solution: A parts processing device includes a feeding mechanism, a reversing and transferring mechanism, a clamping mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a recycling mechanism. The feeding mechanism is used to feed parts to be processed one by one. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp and fix the parts after feeding. The reversing and transferring mechanism is located between the feeding mechanism and the clamping mechanism. One end of the reversing and transferring mechanism is connected to the end of the feeding mechanism, and the other end of the reversing and transferring mechanism is connected to the clamping mechanism. The cutting mechanism is located on the side of the clamping mechanism away from the reversing and transferring mechanism and is used to cut the parts. The recycling mechanism is located at the end of the feeding mechanism and is used to recycle excess parts that do not need to be processed immediately after feeding.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding mechanism feeds the parts one by one, the reversing and transfer mechanism transfers the fed parts to the clamping mechanism, the clamping mechanism clamps the parts, and then the cutting mechanism cuts the clamped parts. At the same time, during the processing of the parts, the recycling mechanism recycles the excess parts that do not need to be processed after subsequent feeding, without the need to adjust the feeding rate, which helps to improve the production rate.
[0008] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding vibratory feeder and a conveying assembly. The feeding vibratory feeder vibrates the parts out one by one. One end of the conveying assembly is located at the outlet of the feeding vibratory feeder to receive the vibrated parts, and the other end of the conveying assembly is connected to the reversing transfer mechanism.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the vibratory feeder vibrates and feeds the parts one by one, and the conveying component receives the vibrated parts and transports them to the reversing and transfer mechanism, so that the feeding operation of the parts can be carried out in an orderly manner.
[0010] Preferably, the conveying assembly is configured as a stepping conveyor belt, and the stepping conveyor belt is provided with receiving seats at even intervals along its conveying direction, and each receiving seat is provided with a receiving groove.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, as the stepping conveyor belt moves, the receiving groove on the receiving seat carries the vibrating parts one by one, so that the parts are transported in an orderly manner.
[0012] Preferably, the reversing and transferring mechanism includes a support base and a pushing assembly. The support base is located at the end of the conveying direction of the conveying assembly. The support base has a receiving groove for receiving and accommodating a part. The receiving groove is a through groove. The clamping mechanism is located at one end of the receiving groove, and the clamping position of the clamping mechanism is coaxially connected with the receiving groove. The pushing assembly is located at the other end of the receiving groove and is used to push the part in the receiving groove into the clamping mechanism.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the support base supports the pushing component. When the parts are conveyed to the end of the stepping conveyor belt, the parts in the receiving groove slide into the receiving groove. Since the receiving groove is a through groove and the clamping position of the clamping mechanism is coaxial with the receiving groove, the pushing component can push the parts in the receiving groove into the clamping mechanism, so that the clamping mechanism can clamp the parts. No manual operation is required, and the degree of automation is high.
[0014] Preferably, the pushing assembly includes a pushing drive and a push rod, the push rod being located within the receiving groove, and the pushing drive being disposed on the support base for driving the push rod to reciprocate along the length direction of the receiving groove.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the pusher drives the push rod to move away from the clamping mechanism to avoid the parts falling into the receiving groove. Then, the pusher drives the push rod to move closer to the clamping mechanism so that the push rod pushes the parts in the receiving groove into the clamping mechanism, thereby completing the reversal and transfer of the parts.
[0016] Preferably, the recycling mechanism includes a guide plate and a recycling bin, the guide plate being inclinedly disposed on the side of the support seat away from the feeding mechanism, and the recycling bin being located below the bottom end of the guide plate.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when a part is being processed, the push rod and the part being processed are located in the receiving groove. Parts that subsequently slide down from the receiving groove cannot fall into the receiving groove but fall into the recycling bin through the guide plate for temporary recycling. This ensures that the feeding operation of the feeding mechanism will not interfere with the part being processed and that there is no need to adjust the conveying speed, making it simple and convenient.
[0018] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping base, a turntable, and grippers. The clamping base and the turntable have through holes for parts to pass through. After passing through the through holes, the parts are located at the clamping center of the grippers. The turntable is rotatably connected to the clamping base about the through holes as its axis.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping seat supports the turntable and the jaws. Since the clamping seat and the turntable have through holes for parts to pass through, the push rod can push the parts in the receiving groove into the clamping position of the jaws so that the jaws can clamp and fix the parts. The rotation of the turntable, together with the cutting mechanism, performs machining operations on the parts.
[0020] Preferably, the bottom of the clamping mechanism is provided with a collection box for collecting the processed parts.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, after the parts are processed, they fall into the collection box for collection, eliminating the need for manual unloading, which is convenient and fast.
[0022] Preferably, the cutting mechanism includes a cutting tool and a moving drive for driving the cutting tool to move. The cutting tool and the moving drive are arranged in several groups, and the several cutting tools surround the machining position of the part.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving drive unit drives the cutting tool to move to perform machining operations on the clamped parts. The cutting tool and the moving drive unit are set in several groups, so that several cutting tools work together to process the parts, which helps to improve machining efficiency. Moreover, the several cutting tools surround the machining position of the parts, and the machining process does not interfere with each other.
[0024] Preferably, the pusher drive is configured as a two-stage push. When the first push is completed, the part is located in the clamping position of the gripper. When the second push is completed, the part is disengaged from the gripper.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the first push of the pusher causes the part to be pushed to the clamping position of the gripper, so that the gripper can hold it. After the part is processed, the pusher pushes the part a second time, and at the same time the gripper releases the processed part, so that the processed part is pushed away from the gripper and falls into the collection box for collection.
[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By setting up a feeding mechanism, a reversing and transfer mechanism, a clamping mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a recycling mechanism, the feeding mechanism feeds the parts one by one, the reversing and transfer mechanism transfers the fed parts to the clamping mechanism, the clamping mechanism clamps the parts, and then the cutting mechanism cuts the clamped parts. At the same time, during the processing of the parts, the recycling mechanism recycles the excess parts that do not need to be processed after subsequent feeding. There is no need to adjust the feeding rate, which helps to improve the production rate.
[0027] 2. By setting up a stepping conveyor track, as the stepping conveyor track moves, the receiving groove on the receiving seat carries the vibrating parts one by one, so that the parts are transported in an orderly manner.
[0028] 3. By setting up a guide plate and a recycling bin, when a part is being processed, the push rod and the part being processed are located in the receiving groove. Parts that subsequently slide down from the receiving groove cannot fall into the receiving groove but fall into the recycling bin through the guide plate for temporary recycling. This ensures that the feeding operation of the feeding mechanism will not interfere with the part being processed, and there is no need to adjust the conveying speed, making it simple and convenient.

Detailed Implementation
[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0036] This application discloses a parts processing apparatus, referring to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The system includes a feeding mechanism 1, a reversing and transferring mechanism 2, a clamping mechanism 3, a cutting mechanism 4, and a recovery mechanism 5. The feeding mechanism 1 is used to feed the parts to be processed one by one. The clamping mechanism 3 is used to clamp and fix the parts after they have been fed. The reversing and transferring mechanism 2 is located between the feeding mechanism 1 and the clamping mechanism 3. One end of the reversing and transferring mechanism 2 is connected to the end of the feeding mechanism 1 to receive the parts after they have been fed. The other end of the reversing and transferring mechanism 2 is connected to the clamping mechanism 3 to transfer the received parts into the clamping mechanism 3. The cutting mechanism 4 is located on the side of the clamping mechanism 3 away from the reversing transfer mechanism 2 and is used to cut the parts. It should be noted that when a part is being processed, the processed part remains in the clamping mechanism 3, but the feeding mechanism 1 does not stop working, so that subsequent parts are continuously fed. Therefore, the recycling mechanism 5 is located at the end of the feeding mechanism 1 and is used to recycle the excess parts that do not need to be processed after feeding. The automatic processing of parts does not require adjustment of the feeding rate, which helps to improve the production rate.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding vibratory feeder 11 and a conveying assembly. The feeding vibratory feeder 11 vibrates the parts out one by one. One end of the conveying assembly is located at the outlet of the feeding vibratory feeder 11 to receive the vibrated parts, and the other end of the conveying assembly is connected to the reversing transfer mechanism 2. The conveying assembly sends the conveyed parts into the reversing transfer mechanism 2. In this embodiment, the conveying assembly is set as a stepping conveyor belt 12, which is driven by a stepping motor. It will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that the stepping conveyor belt 12 is evenly spaced with receiving seats 6 along its conveying direction. Each receiving seat 6 has a receiving groove 7 for the parts. Each receiving groove 7 can hold one part. As the stepping conveyor belt 12 conveys, the vibrated parts enter the receiving groove 7 one by one, and the stepping conveyor belt 12 then conveys the parts to the reversing transfer mechanism 2.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The reversing and transfer mechanism 2 includes a support base 21 and a pushing assembly 22. The support base 21 is located at the end of the conveying assembly in the conveying direction and supports the pushing assembly 22. The support base 21 has a receiving groove 8 for receiving and accommodating a part at the position opposite to the stepping conveyor belt 12. The receiving groove 8 is a through groove so that the part entering the receiving groove 8 can move along the length of the receiving groove 8 and enter the clamping mechanism 3. The clamping mechanism 3 is located at one end of the receiving groove 8, and the clamping position of the clamping mechanism 3 is coaxially connected with the receiving groove 8. The pushing assembly 22 is located at the other end of the receiving groove 8 and is used to push the part in the receiving groove 8 into the clamping mechanism 3. When the part falls from the receiving groove 7 into the receiving groove 8 as it is conveyed by the stepping conveyor belt 12, the pushing assembly 22 pushes the part in the receiving groove 8 toward the clamping mechanism 3 to complete the reversing and transfer of the part.
[0039] Specifically, the pushing assembly 22 includes a pushing drive and a push rod 222. The push rod 222 is located in the receiving groove 8. In this embodiment, the pushing drive is set as a pushing cylinder 221. The pushing cylinder 221 is horizontally fixed on the support base 21. The push rod 222 is coaxially fixedly connected to the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 221. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 221 drives the push rod 222 to reciprocate along the length direction of the receiving groove 8. The retraction of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 221 drives the push rod 222 to move away from the clamping mechanism 3, so as to avoid the parts falling from the receiving groove 7 into the receiving groove 8. Then the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 221 is extended to push the parts into the clamping mechanism 3 through the push rod 222.
[0040] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The clamping mechanism 3 includes a clamping base 31, a turntable 32, and grippers 33. The clamping base 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the support base 21 to support the turntable 32 and grippers 33. Both the clamping base 31 and the turntable 32 have through holes for parts to pass through. The through holes and the receiving groove 8 are on the same straight line. After passing through the through holes during the feeding process, the parts are positioned at the clamping center of the grippers 33. The turntable 32 is rotatably connected to the clamping base 31 about the through holes. As the push rod 222 pushes, the parts enter the clamping position of the grippers 33 through the through holes. The grippers 33 then clamp and fix the parts to complete the automatic clamping of the parts. The rotation of the turntable 32 causes the parts to rotate, cooperating with the cutting mechanism 4 to perform cutting processing on the parts.
[0041] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The cutting mechanism 4 includes a cutting blade 41 and a moving drive component 42 for driving the cutting blade 41 to move. The moving drive component 42 is driven by a linear drive module of X, Y, and Z axes, which will not be described in detail here. It is worth mentioning that there are several sets of cutting blades 41 and moving drive components 42. Several cutting blades 41 surround the processing position of the part. In this embodiment, the number of cutting blades 41 and moving drive components 42 is set to two sets, and the two cutting blades 41 are symmetrically arranged with the part as the center. The two cutting blades 41 process the part together without interfering with each other, so as to improve the processing efficiency.
[0042] It should be noted that the pusher cylinder 221 is set to a two-stage push. When the first push is completed, the part is in the clamping position of the gripper 33 so that the gripper 33 can clamp and fix the part. When the processing operation of the part is completed, the gripper 33 releases the part, and then the pusher cylinder 221 pushes for the second time, so that the part is released from the gripper 33 and falls off, thereby completing the automatic unloading of the part.
[0043] Reference Figure 5 In order to collect the finished parts, the bottom of the clamping mechanism 3 is provided with a collection box 9 for collecting the finished parts. After the second push of the pusher cylinder 221, the finished parts are disengaged from the gripper 33 and fall into the collection box 9, so as to complete the entire automatic processing of the parts.
[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3During the processing of a component, the feeding mechanism 1 continues to feed it. The recycling mechanism 5 collects excess components that are not yet ready for processing. Specifically, the recycling mechanism 5 includes a guide plate 51 and a recycling box 52. The guide plate 51 is inclined on the side of the support base 21 facing away from the feeding mechanism 1, and the recycling box 52 is located below the bottom of the guide plate 51. When a component is being processed, the push rod 222 and the component being processed occupy the space of the receiving groove 8. Components that subsequently slide down from the receiving groove 7 cannot fall into the receiving groove 8 but slide down through the guide plate 51 into the recycling box 52 for temporary collection. This ensures that the feeding operation of the feeding mechanism 1 does not interfere with the component being processed, and it eliminates the need to adjust the conveying speed, making it simple and convenient.
[0045] The implementation principle of the spare parts processing device in this application embodiment is as follows: When a spare parts need to be processed, the feeding vibratory plate 11 vibrates the spare parts out, and the receiving groove 7 on the stepping conveyor belt 12 receives and transports the spare parts one by one. When the spare parts are transported to the end of the stepping conveyor belt 12, the spare parts in the receiving groove 7 slide into the receiving groove 8. Then, the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 221 is stretched in the first stage to push the spare parts in the receiving groove 8 to the clamping position of the gripper 33 through the push rod 222. The gripper 33 clamps and fixes the spare parts. Then, the rotation of the turntable 32 cooperates with the cutting tool 41 to perform the processing operation. When the processing operation is completed, the gripper 33 releases the spare parts. The piston rod of the pusher cylinder 221 is stretched in the second stage to push the finished parts away from the gripper 33. The parts fall into the collection box 9 for automatic collection. In addition, when a part is being processed, the pusher 222 and the part being processed occupy the space of the receiving groove 8. The parts that slide down from the receiving groove 7 cannot fall into the receiving groove 8 but slide down through the guide plate 51 into the recycling box 52 for temporary recycling. This ensures that the feeding operation of the feeding mechanism 1 will not interfere with the parts being processed and that there is no need to adjust the conveying speed. It is simple and convenient, and further improves production efficiency on the basis of automated production.
[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
