Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of forging processing technology, and specifically relates to a method for processing copper and aluminum forgings. Background Technology

[0002] When manufacturing forgings, it is common to encounter situations where there is excess scrap material on the outer surface of the forging. To solve this problem, a scrap removal device is needed to cut off the excess scrap material. However, the current common method is to manually load the forging to be processed onto the scrap removal device for processing. This method has a low degree of automation, low production efficiency, and high labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a method for processing copper and aluminum forgings. The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to automatically complete the loading and processing of forgings to be processed, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: a method for processing copper and aluminum forgings, and a processing device for forging processing, the processing device including a material holder, a loading chain conveyor, a feeding chain conveyor, a belt conveyor, a robot, a trimming mechanism, and a controller. The material holder is provided with a material trough for accommodating the forgings to be processed. A transfer station is provided between the loading chain conveyor and the feeding chain conveyor. The loading chain conveyor is used to transport the forgings to be processed in the material trough to the transfer station. The forgings to be processed in the transfer station can enter the feeding chain conveyor. The feeding chain conveyor is used to transport the forgings to be processed to the belt conveyor. The belt conveyor is provided with a loading station. The belt conveyor is used to transport the forgings to be processed to the loading station. The robot is used to grip the forgings to be processed at the loading station and transport them to the trimming mechanism. The trimming mechanism is used to remove the scrap material on the forgings to be processed.

[0005] The processing method includes the following steps:

[0006] S1: The feeding chain conveyor transports the forgings to be processed in the trough to the transfer station;

[0007] S2: The forgings to be processed in the transfer station enter the feeding chain conveyor;

[0008] S3: The feeding chain conveyor transports the forgings to be processed to the belt conveyor;

[0009] S4: The belt conveyor transports the forgings to be processed to the loading station;

[0010] S5: The robotic arm picks up the forging to be processed at the loading station and transports it to the trimming mechanism;

[0011] S6: The trimming mechanism removes the scrap material from the forging to be processed.

[0012] In the above-mentioned method for processing copper and aluminum forgings, the processing device includes a through-beam sensor and an industrial camera. The through-beam sensor is located on the outside of the feeding chain conveyor and is used to detect the forging to be processed. Both the through-beam sensor and the industrial camera are electrically connected to the controller. The industrial camera is used to acquire images of the forging to be processed at the loading station and transmit them to the controller. In step S3, when the through-beam sensor detects that a forging to be processed is passing by, the controller controls the industrial camera to acquire images of the loading station.

[0013] In the above-mentioned method for processing copper and aluminum forgings, the processing device includes a photoelectric sensor, which is located on the outside of the belt conveyor. The photoelectric sensor is used to detect the forging to be processed. The photoelectric sensor and the feeding chain conveyor are both electrically connected to the controller. In step S4, when the photoelectric sensor detects that a forging to be processed is passing by, the controller controls the feeding chain conveyor to stop running; otherwise, the feeding chain conveyor continues to run normally.

[0014] In the above-mentioned method for processing copper and aluminum forgings, the edge-cutting mechanism is provided with a first processing position and a second processing position. The first processing position is used to place the forging to be processed with the front side facing up, and the second processing position is used to place the forging to be processed with the back side facing up. In step S5, the controller determines whether the forging to be processed at the loading station is facing up or down based on the image captured by the industrial camera. If the controller determines that the forging to be processed at the loading station is facing up, the controller controls the robot arm to pick up the forging to be processed at the loading station and transport it to the first processing position. Otherwise, if the controller determines that the forging to be processed at the loading station is facing down, the controller controls the robot arm to pick up the forging to be processed at the loading station and transport it to the second processing position.

[0015] In the above-mentioned method for processing copper and aluminum forgings, the transfer station is equipped with a short-circuit sensor and an induction chain for detecting the forging to be processed. The short-circuit sensor is electrically connected to the induction chain and to the controller. The transfer station includes a retaining plate, a push plate, and a cylinder. The retaining plate and the push plate are arranged opposite to each other. The cylinder is electrically connected to the controller, and its output end is connected to the push plate. The cylinder is used to drive the push plate to push the forging to be processed into the feeding chain conveyor. In step S2, when the forging to be processed contacts the induction chain, the short-circuit sensor transmits the detection result to the controller. The controller controls the cylinder to start, and the cylinder drives the push plate to push the forging to be processed into the feeding chain conveyor.

[0016] In the above-mentioned method for processing copper and aluminum forgings, the feeding chain conveyor is equipped with a baffle, a pusher plate, and a second cylinder. The baffle and the pusher plate are arranged opposite to each other. The second cylinder is electrically connected to the controller, and the output end of the second cylinder is connected to the pusher plate. The second cylinder can drive the pusher plate to push the forging to be processed on the feeding chain conveyor so that it abuts against the baffle. The feeding chain conveyor is equipped with a limit rod, which can contact the forging to be processed on the feeding chain conveyor. In step S3, when the forging to be processed passes through the feeding chain conveyor, the limit rod contacts the forging to be processed, causing the posture of the forging to be processed to change. When the through-beam sensor detects that a forging to be processed has passed, the controller controls the second cylinder to start, and the second cylinder drives the pusher plate to push the forging to be processed so that it abuts against the baffle.

[0017] In the above-mentioned method for processing copper and aluminum forgings, the processing device includes a pre-pressing mechanism, which includes a rotary pressing cylinder and a pre-pressing head. The rotary pressing cylinder is electrically connected to the controller and connected to the pre-pressing head. The rotary pressing cylinder can drive the pre-pressing head to press down the forging to be processed on the trimming mechanism. In step S5, the robot arm transports the forging to be processed to the trimming mechanism, and the controller controls the rotary pressing cylinder to start. The rotary pressing cylinder drives the pre-pressing head to press down the forging to be processed on the trimming mechanism.

[0018] In the above-mentioned method for processing copper and aluminum forgings, the chain plate on the feeding chain conveyor is provided with several support brackets for carrying the forgings to be processed. A guide plate is rotatably arranged in the material trough, and a guide arc surface is provided on the guide plate. A guide slope is provided at the bottom of the material trough. When the chain plate on the feeding chain conveyor moves, the support brackets can make the guide plate rotate.

[0019] In the above-mentioned method for processing copper and aluminum forgings, the processing device includes a return channel, which is connected to the material trough, and the forgings to be processed on the feeding chain conveyor and the belt conveyor can fall into the return channel.

[0020] In the above-mentioned method for processing copper and aluminum forgings, a support plate is provided at the bottom of the belt conveyor, the loading station is located at the discharge end of the belt conveyor, and the robot arm is in soft contact with the discharge end of the belt conveyor.

[0021] In summary, the advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0022] 1. The forgings to be processed in the trough are transported to the transfer station by the feeding chain conveyor. The forgings to be processed in the transfer station enter the feeding chain conveyor and are then transported to the belt conveyor. The belt conveyor transports the forgings to the loading station. The robot arm picks up the forgings to be processed at the loading station and transports them to the trimming mechanism. The trimming mechanism removes the scrap material from the forgings. The entire process of loading and processing the forgings is automated, resulting in high production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0030] A method for machining copper and aluminum forgings, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a processing device for forging is included. The processing device includes a material holder 1, a feeding chain conveyor 2, a transfer station 8, a feeding chain conveyor 3, a belt conveyor 4, a robot arm 5, an edge trimming mechanism 6, a through-beam sensor 9, a light sensor 10, an industrial camera, a pre-compression mechanism 18, a controller, and a return channel 23. The feeding chain conveyor 2, the feeding chain conveyor 3, the belt conveyor 4, the robot arm 5, the edge trimming mechanism 6, the through-beam sensor 9, the light sensor 10, the industrial camera, and the pre-compression mechanism 18 are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0031] The material holder 1 is provided with a material trough 7 for accommodating the forgings to be processed. The feeding chain conveyor 2 is set inside the material trough 7. Specifically, the bottom of the material trough 7 is provided with a guide slope 21. A guide plate 20 is rotatably arranged inside the material trough 7. A guide arc surface 22 is provided on the guide plate 20. The feeding chain conveyor 2 is arranged in a vertical direction. Several support brackets 19 for carrying the forgings to be processed are provided on the chain plate of the feeding chain conveyor 2.

[0032] Under the guidance of the guide slope 21, the forgings to be processed in the trough 7 can gather towards the position close to the chain plate. When the chain plate on the feeding chain conveyor 2 moves, the support frame 19 contacts the guide plate 20 and drives the guide plate 20 to rotate. As the guide plate 20 rotates, the guide arc surface 22 on the guide plate 20 contacts the forgings to be processed. The guide plate 20 pushes the workpieces to be processed apart to avoid the accumulation of workpieces and the chain plate on the feeding chain conveyor 2 from jamming. At the same time, the workpieces to be processed in the trough 7 fall onto the support frame 19. As the chain plate on the feeding chain conveyor 2 moves, the support frame 19 and the forgings to be processed it carries are transported towards the discharge end of the feeding chain conveyor 2.

[0033] The intermediate station 8 is located between the loading chain conveyor 2 and the feeding chain conveyor 3. The loading chain conveyor 2 is used to transport the forgings to be processed in the trough 7 to the intermediate station 8. The discharge end of the loading chain conveyor 2 is located above the intermediate station 8 and is aligned with the intermediate station 8. The forgings to be processed can fall into the intermediate station 8 from the discharge end of the loading chain conveyor 2.

[0034] The forgings to be processed in the transfer station 8 can enter the feeding chain conveyor 3. Specifically, the transfer station 8 includes a baffle plate 81, a push plate 82, and a cylinder 83. The baffle plate 81 and the push plate 82 are arranged opposite to each other. The baffle plate 81 and the push plate 82 cooperate to block the forgings to be processed and prevent them from falling out. The baffle plate 81 and the push plate 82 are both located at the feed end of the feeding chain conveyor 3.

[0035] Cylinder 83 is electrically connected to the controller, and its output is connected to push plate 82. Cylinder 83 drives push plate 82 to push the forging to be processed into the feeding chain conveyor 3. Specifically, to avoid the accumulation of forgings in the transfer station 8 that prevents them from entering the feeding chain conveyor 3, a short-circuit sensor 13 and an induction chain 14 are installed in the transfer station 8 to detect the forgings. The short-circuit sensor 13 is electrically connected to the induction chain 14 and the controller. When the induction chain 14 contacts the forging, the short-circuit sensor 13 senses the forging. At this time, the controller starts cylinder 83, which drives push plate 82 to move closer to or away from the retaining plate 81. Under the pushing action of push plate 82, the forgings in the transfer station 8 enter the feeding chain conveyor 3, thus ensuring the normal conveying of the forgings.

[0036] The feeding chain conveyor 3 is used to transport the forgings to be processed to the belt conveyor 4. The feeding chain conveyor 3 is equipped with a limit rod 26, which can contact the forgings to be processed on the feeding chain conveyor 3. It should be noted that since the forgings to be processed entering the feeding chain conveyor 3 have different postures, the height is limited by the limit rod 26, so that forgings exceeding the height can contact the limit rod 26. After the forgings to be processed contact the limit rod 26, their posture changes.

[0037] The feeding chain conveyor 3 is equipped with a baffle 15, a pusher plate 16, and a second cylinder 17. The second cylinder 17 is electrically connected to the controller. The baffle 15 and the pusher plate 16 are arranged opposite each other, and the pusher plate 16 and the baffle 15 are located on both sides of the feeding chain conveyor 3. The output end of the second cylinder 17 is connected to the pusher plate 16. The second cylinder 17 can drive the pusher plate 16 to move closer to or away from the baffle 15. When the second cylinder 17 drives the pusher plate 16 to move closer to the baffle 15, the pusher plate 16 can push the forging to be processed on the feeding chain conveyor 3 to abut against the baffle 15, thereby changing the position of the forging to be processed on the feeding chain conveyor 3, while ensuring that the forging to be processed on the feeding chain conveyor 3 enters the belt conveyor 4 at the same position.

[0038] The belt conveyor 4 is equipped with a loading station 25, which is used to transport the forgings to be processed to the loading station 25. The loading station 25 is located at the discharge end of the belt conveyor 4. A support plate 24 is provided at the bottom of the belt of the belt conveyor 4. Under the support of the support plate 24, the forgings to be processed transported on the belt conveyor 4 are more stable.

[0039] The robotic arm 5 is used to grip the forging to be processed at the loading station 25 and transport it to the trimming mechanism 6. The robotic arm 5 is in soft contact with the discharge end of the belt conveyor 4, that is, the bottom of the discharge end of the belt conveyor 4 does not have a support plate 24, and the robotic arm 5 is in contact with the belt of the belt conveyor 4. When the robotic arm 5 comes into contact with the discharge end of the belt conveyor 4 due to error, the soft contact between the robotic arm 5 and the discharge end of the belt conveyor 4 can prevent the robotic arm 5 from being damaged due to collision.

[0040] An industrial camera is mounted on the robotic arm 5. The industrial camera is used to capture images of the forgings to be processed at the loading station 25 and transmit them to the controller. A through-beam sensor 9 is mounted on the outside of the feeding chain conveyor 3. The through-beam sensor 9 is used to detect the forgings to be processed. It should be noted that when the through-beam sensor 9 detects a forging to be processed passing by, the through-beam sensor 9 transmits a corresponding signal to the controller. The controller controls the industrial camera to capture images at the loading station 25.

[0041] The optical sensor 10 is located on the outside of the belt conveyor 4. The optical sensor 10 is used to detect the forging to be processed. It should be noted that when the optical sensor 10 detects that a forging to be processed is passing by, the optical sensor 10 transmits a corresponding signal to the controller. The controller controls the feeding chain conveyor 3 to stop running. At this time, the feeding chain conveyor 3 stops feeding the forging to be processed to the belt conveyor 4. Otherwise, the feeding chain conveyor 3 continues to operate normally.

[0042] The trimming mechanism 6 is equipped with a first processing station 11 and a second processing station 12. The controller can determine whether the forging to be processed at the loading station 25 is facing up or down based on the image captured by the industrial camera, and then send the corresponding instructions to the robot arm 5. The robot arm 5 will then transport the forging to be processed to the first processing station 11 or the second processing station 12 according to the instructions.

[0043] The pre-pressing mechanism 18 includes a rotary pressing cylinder 181 and a pre-pressing head 182. It should be noted that there are two rotary pressing cylinders 181 and two pre-pressing heads 182, which correspond to the first processing position 11 and the second processing position 12, respectively. The rotary pressing cylinder 181 is mounted on the support frame and is electrically connected to the controller. The rotary pressing cylinder 181 is connected to the pre-pressing head 182. The corresponding rotary pressing cylinder 181 can drive the corresponding pre-pressing head 182 to press down the forging to be processed at the first processing position 11 or the second processing position 12.

[0044] The trimming mechanism 6 is used to remove scrap material from the forging to be processed. The first processing position 11 is used to place the forging to be processed with the front side facing up, and the second processing position 12 is used to place the forging to be processed with the back side facing up. It should be noted that the first processing position 11 and the second processing position 12 are respectively the first feeding port and the second feeding port for placing the forging to be processed. The difference is that the two are adapted to the forging to be processed with the front side facing up and the forging to be processed with the back side facing up, respectively.

[0045] The trimming mechanism 6 includes two trimming machines. Each trimming machine includes a support frame 27, a drive cylinder 28, a pressing rod 29, and a trimming base 30. The drive cylinder 28 is mounted on the support frame 27, and its output end is connected to the pressing rod 29. The first discharge port and the second discharge port are respectively set on the trimming base 30 of the two trimming machines. The pressing rods 29 of the two trimming machines are respectively aligned with the first discharge port and the second discharge port. The drive cylinder 28 drives the pressing rod 29 to press down the forging to be processed, pressing the forging into the first discharge port or the second discharge port, and cooperating with the corresponding trimming base 30 to remove the scrap material on the forging.

[0046] The return channel 23 is connected to the trough 7. The forgings to be processed on the feeding chain conveyor 3 and the belt conveyor 4 can all fall into the return channel 23. That is, the forgings to be processed that accidentally fall off the feeding chain conveyor 3 and the belt conveyor 4 can all fall into the return channel 23 and be recycled back to the trough 7 through the return channel 23.

[0047] The processing method includes the following steps:

[0048] S1: The feeding chain conveyor 2 transports the forgings to be processed in the trough 7 to the transfer station 8;

[0049] S2: The forging to be processed in the transfer station 8 enters the feeding chain conveyor 3. When the forging to be processed comes into contact with the sensing chain 14, the short circuit sensor transmits the detection result to the controller. The controller controls the cylinder 83 to start. The cylinder 83 drives the push plate 82 to push the forging to be processed into the feeding chain conveyor 3.

[0050] S3: The feeding chain conveyor 3 transports the forging to be processed to the belt conveyor 4. When the forging passes through the feeding chain conveyor 3, the limit rod 26 contacts the forging, causing the posture of the forging to be processed to change.

[0051] When the through-beam sensor 9 detects that a forging to be processed is passing by, the controller controls the second cylinder 17 to start, and the second cylinder 17 drives the pusher plate 16 to push the forging to be processed so that it abuts against the baffle 15.

[0052] At the same time, the controller controls the industrial camera to capture images of 25 loading stations;

[0053] S4: The belt conveyor 4 transports the forging to be processed to the loading station 25. When the optical sensor 10 detects that a forging to be processed has passed through, the controller controls the feeding chain conveyor 3 to stop running. Otherwise, the feeding chain conveyor 3 will continue to run normally.

[0054] S5: The controller determines whether the forging to be processed at the loading station 25 is facing up or down based on the image captured by the industrial camera. If the controller determines that the forging to be processed at the loading station 25 is facing up, the controller controls the robot arm 5 to pick up the forging to be processed at the loading station 25 and transport it to the first discharge port. Otherwise, if the controller determines that the forging to be processed at the loading station 25 is facing down, the controller controls the robot arm 5 to pick up the forging to be processed at the loading station 25 and transport it to the second discharge port.

[0055] At the same time, the controller controls the corresponding rotary pressing cylinder 181 to start, which drives the corresponding pre-pressing head 182 to press down the forging to be processed at the first or second discharge port.

[0056] S6: The controller controls the corresponding drive cylinder to start, and the drive cylinder drives the corresponding pressing rod to press the forging to be processed into the first or second discharge port and, together with the corresponding cutting base, removes the scrap on the forging to be processed.

[0057] It should be noted that in step S3, when the first forging to be processed is detected by the through-beam sensor 9, there is no forging to be processed at the loading station 25. At this time, the controller controls the industrial camera to acquire images of the loading station 25, and the robot arm 5 performs an empty gripping operation at the loading station 25. The robot arm 5 rehearses the path of conveying the forging to be processed, and subsequently, the controller controls the rotary pressing cylinder 181 to start. The rotary pressing cylinder 181 drives the pre-pressing head 182 to rehearse the action of pressing down the forging to be processed. Subsequently, the controller drives the cylinder to drive the pressing rod to rehearse the action of pressing down the forging to be processed. By rehearsing the above running path and actions, the operator can judge whether the processing device is operating normally, and can discover problems in operation in advance and make optimizations and improvements, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the processing device and avoiding the discovery of problems only after the actual processing of the forging has begun, which could lead to damage to the forging.
