Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of machining centers, and in particular to a vertical handwashing basin machining center. Background Technology

[0002] A machining center is an automated, multi-functional CNC machine tool that integrates various machining processes such as milling, drilling, boring, and tapping. It can complete the multi-faceted or multi-process machining of complex parts in a single setup. The workpiece can be made of various materials such as metal, wood, stone, plastic, and glass.

[0003] Freestanding washbasins can be made of materials such as ceramic, artificial stone, sintered stone, stainless steel, and natural stone. For stone freestanding washbasins, they generally consist of a pedestal and a basin. The pedestal is installed on the ground, and the basin is mounted on the pedestal and fixedly connected to the wall. When processing the stone workpiece into a pedestal, not only is the outer surface of the pedestal processed, but through holes also need to be drilled inside the pedestal to accommodate drainage pipes.

[0004] The machining center in the related technology includes a frame, a moving mechanism, machining tools, and a clamping support. The clamping support is mounted on the frame and is used to clamp the stone workpiece. The moving mechanism is located on the frame, and the machining tools are mounted on the moving end of the moving mechanism. The moving mechanism drives the machining tools to move in three-dimensional space, allowing the machining tools to process the stone workpiece. The specific processing procedure is as follows: when processing the stone workpiece, first, the stone workpiece is fixed and clamped, then the outer surface of the stone workpiece is processed, then the tool is changed, and a core is drilled from the inside of the stone using a nesting drill, then the core is removed, and finally, the tool is changed again to grind the inner wall of the through hole inside the workpiece.

[0005] For removing the core material, existing technologies include the natural falling method and the manual extraction method. The natural falling method refers to the core material losing its support at the bottom when the drill bit completely penetrates the stone workpiece, and falling off by gravity. However, the falling core may damage parts of the machining center, and when the core is long, it may become stuck in the through hole or the drill bit due to sidewall friction and slurry adhesion, making it difficult to remove. The manual extraction method involves manually pulling out the core material using simple tools after drilling, but this often results in low processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To facilitate the removal of the core material, this application provides a vertical handwashing basin processing center.

[0007] This application provides a vertical handwashing basin processing center, which adopts the following technical solution: A vertical handwashing basin machining center includes a frame, a moving mechanism, a machining tool, a clamping and supporting assembly, a material handling mechanism, and a pushing assembly. The clamping and supporting assembly is mounted on the frame and is used to clamp a workpiece. The moving mechanism is mounted on the frame, and the machining tool is mounted on the moving mechanism. The moving mechanism drives the machining tool to move, so that the machining tool processes the workpiece and forms a core. The material handling mechanism includes a movable support assembly and a clamping assembly, with the clamping assembly disposed on the movable support assembly; the pushing assembly is used to push the material core to move, so that the material core is released from the workpiece; the clamping assembly clamps the material core; the movable support assembly drives the clamping assembly to move, so that the clamping assembly removes the material core from the bottom side of the workpiece.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping support assembly clamps the workpiece, and the moving mechanism drives the machining tool to move, so that the machining tool processes the workpiece and forms a core. The pushing assembly pushes the core out of the workpiece, the clamping assembly clamps the bottom end of the core, and the moving support assembly drives the clamping assembly to move, removing the core from the bottom side of the workpiece. This improves the situation in related technologies where the core gets stuck in the workpiece's through hole and the drill bit due to sidewall friction and mud adsorption.

[0009] Optionally, the movable support assembly includes a movable drive source, a connecting rod, and an abutment seat; the connecting rod is connected to the movable drive source, and the abutment seat is connected to the connecting rod; the movable drive source drives the abutment seat to move through the connecting rod, so that the abutment seat abuts against the bottom end of the material core.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving drive source drives the abutment seat to move through the connecting rod. The abutment seat abuts against the bottom end of the workpiece. After the core is processed, the abutment seat can abut against the bottom end of the core, thereby supporting the core.

[0011] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a lifting drive source and a clamping chuck. The lifting drive source is connected to the connecting rod, and the clamping chuck is connected to the lifting drive source. The lifting drive source drives the clamping chuck to move, causing the clamping chuck to extend and clamp the material core.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the bottom end of the material core is supported by the abutment seat, the lifting drive source drives the clamping chuck to move upward, and then the clamping chuck clamps the bottom end of the material core, which makes it easier to extract the material core from the workpiece.

[0013] Optionally, a material storage bin is connected to the frame, and the material handling mechanism moves the material core into the material storage bin; a material pushing component is provided on the material storage bin, and the material pushing component pushes the material core in the material storage bin to one side of the material storage bin.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the material handling mechanism moves the material core into the material storage bin, and then the material pushing component pushes the material core in the material storage bin to one side of the material storage bin, which can temporarily store the material core and facilitate the subsequent transfer of the material core.

[0015] Optionally, the pushing assembly includes a pushing drive source and a pushing plate, the pushing plate being connected to the pushing drive source and located within the material storage bin; the pushing drive source drives the pushing plate to move, causing the pushing plate to push the material core to move within the material storage bin.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, after the material picking mechanism moves the material core into the storage bin, the clamping component releases its grip on the material core. Then, the moving drive source drives the pusher plate to move, so that the pusher plate pushes the material core in the storage bin to one side of the storage bin, thereby realizing the temporary storage of the material core.

[0017] Optionally, the feeding assembly further includes a brush and a water spray head, both of which are connected to the feeding plate. The water spray head sprays water onto the inner wall of the material storage bin, and the brush is used to brush the inner wall of the material storage bin.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, while the pushing component drives the pushing plate to move the material core, the water spray head can spray water onto the inner wall of the material hopper, and the brush can sweep the inner wall of the material hopper to reduce the deposition of debris on the inner wall of the material hopper.

[0019] Optionally, a water collection trough is provided on the bottom side of the material storage bin, the water collection trough is connected to the material storage bin, and a collection bin is connected to one side of the material storage bin. The pushing drive source drives the pushing plate to move, so that the brush sweeps the debris in the material storage bin into the collection bin.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pusher plate is moved by the pusher drive source, the brush can sweep the debris in the container into the collection bin, and the water collection tank can collect the water flow in the container, reducing the deposition of debris on the inner wall of the container, thereby collecting the debris and water flow separately.

[0021] Optionally, the pushing component includes a pushing drive source and a pushing seat, the pushing seat being connected to the pushing drive source; the pushing drive source drives the pushing seat to move, causing the pushing seat to push the core material to move.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving mechanism drives the processing tool to process the workpiece and form a core, and the pushing drive source drives the pushing seat to move, so that the pushing seat pushes the core out of the workpiece.

[0023] Optionally, a nozzle is connected to the push seat, and the nozzle is used to spray water onto the machining tool.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the machining tool is machining the workpiece, the nozzle connected to the push seat sprays water onto the machining tool, which can reduce the temperature of the machining tool during operation and help reduce dust during the machining process.

[0025] Optionally, the clamping support assembly includes a clamping support chuck and a rotating table. The rotating table is mounted on the frame, and the clamping support chuck is connected to the rotating table. The clamping support chuck is used to clamp the workpiece. The rotating table drives the clamping support chuck to rotate, thereby causing the clamping support chuck to drive the workpiece to rotate.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping support chuck can clamp the workpiece, and the rotating table drives the clamping support chuck to rotate, which can drive the workpiece to rotate, making it easier for the machining tool to process the workpiece from different angles.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects: 1. The push drive source drives the push seat to move, pushing the core out of the workpiece, so that the material picking mechanism can hold the core and move the core into the material container; 2. The moving drive source drives the abutment seat to move through the connecting rod. When the bottom end of the material core abuts the abutment seat, the lifting drive source drives the clamping chuck to extend and clamp the material core. Then, the moving support component drives the clamping component to move and remove the material core from the bottom side of the workpiece. 3. The pusher drive source moves the pusher plate, pushing the material core in the hopper to one side of the hopper for temporary storage. At the same time, the pusher plate moves the brush and water spray head. The water spray head sprays water onto the inner wall of the hopper, and the brush sweeps the inner wall of the hopper, effectively reducing the deposition of debris on the inner wall of the hopper.

[0034] refer to Figure 1In this embodiment, the moving mechanism 2 includes a three-axis linear module 21 and a steering drive seat 22. The body of the three-axis linear module 21 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The steering drive seat 22 specifically adopts a hollow rotary platform, and its body is fixedly connected to the output end of the three-axis linear module 21. The processing tools 3 include a cutting machine 31 and a milling machine 32, both of which are mounted on the output end of the steering drive seat 22. The three-axis linear module 21 drives the cutting machine 31 and the milling machine 32 to move in three dimensions in three-dimensional space through the steering drive seat 22, enabling the cutting machine 31 to cut the workpiece and the milling machine 32 to mill the outer wall of the workpiece. The steering drive seat 22 can drive the cutting machine 31 and the milling machine 32 to rotate 90 degrees, allowing switching between the two machines and selecting to cut or mill the workpiece according to the working conditions.

[0035] The implementation principle of a vertical washbasin machining center in Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: the clamping support chuck 41 clamps the workpiece, and the rotating table 42 drives the workpiece to rotate through the clamping support chuck 41. The moving mechanism 2 drives the machining tool 3 to move, so that the cutting machine 31 cuts the workpiece, and the engraving and milling machine 32 engraves and mills the outer wall of the workpiece.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Embodiment 2 of this application provides a vertical handwashing basin processing center. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that: refer to Figure 2 The machining tool 3 also includes a drilling machine 33, which includes a tool holder 331, a nesting drill 332, and a rotary drive source 333. After cutting the workpiece and milling the outer wall of the workpiece, the cutting machine 31 and the milling machine 32 are removed from the moving mechanism 2, and then the drilling machine 33 is installed on the moving mechanism 2. The tool holder 331 is fixedly connected to the output end of the steering drive seat 22, and the nesting drill 332 is rotatably connected to the tool holder 331. The rotary drive source 333 is specifically a motor, and the body of the rotary drive source 333 is fixedly connected to the tool holder 331. The output end of the rotary drive source 333 drives the nesting drill 332 to rotate, so that the nesting drill 332 can process the workpiece and form a core inside the workpiece.

[0038] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The vertical washbasin machining center also includes a material handling mechanism 5, a pushing assembly 6, a pushing assembly 7, and a material holding bin 8. The material handling mechanism 5 is located on the bottom side of the workpiece and includes a moving support assembly 51 and a clamping assembly 52. ​​The moving support assembly 51 includes a moving drive source 511, a connecting rod 512, and an abutment seat 513. The material holding bin 8 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The moving drive source 511 specifically adopts a linear module. The body of the moving drive source 511 is fixedly connected to the material holding bin 8. The connecting rod 512 is fixedly connected to the output end of the moving drive source 511, and the abutment seat 513 is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting rod 512. The mobile drive source 511 can drive the connecting rod 512 and the abutment seat 513 to move in the vertical direction, so that the abutment seat 513 abuts against the bottom end of the workpiece. During the process of the drilling machine 33 processing the core of the workpiece, the abutment seat 513 provides support force for the core, thereby improving the positional stability of the core as the die drill 332 gradually drills to the bottom end of the workpiece.

[0039] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The clamping assembly 52 includes a lifting drive source 521 and a clamping chuck 522. The lifting drive source 521 is specifically an electric cylinder, and the clamping chuck 522 is specifically an electric four-jaw chuck. The body of the lifting drive source 521 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 512, and the body of the clamping chuck 522 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting drive source 521. The clamping chuck 522 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 512 and is used to clamp the bottom end of the material core. Subsequently, the moving support assembly 51 drives the clamping assembly 52 to move, causing the material core to move downwards into the material storage bin 8.

[0040] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The pushing assembly 6 includes a pushing drive source 61, a pushing base 62, and a nozzle 63. The pushing drive source 61 is specifically an electric cylinder. The body of the pushing drive source 61 is fixedly connected to the output end of the steering drive base 22. The pushing base 62 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pushing drive source 61. The pushing drive source 61 can drive the pushing base 62 to move vertically. The nozzle 63 is fixedly connected to the pushing base 62. The nozzle 63 can spray water, which can reduce the temperature of the casing drill 332 during operation and also help reduce dust during processing.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5After the drilling machine 33 processes the core from the workpiece, the core may become stuck inside the die 332, making it difficult for the clamping assembly 52 to hold the bottom of the core. Therefore, after the drilling machine 33 processes the core, the moving drive source 511 moves the abutment seat 513 downward a certain distance to create clearance. Then, the pushing drive source 61 moves the pushing seat 62, pushing the core downward until it abuts the abutment seat 513, allowing the core to disengage a certain distance from the die 332. Then, the lifting drive source 521 moves the clamping chuck 522 upward a certain distance, clamping the bottom of the core. Finally, the moving support assembly 51 moves the core downward through the clamping assembly 52, allowing the core to move into the material storage bin 8.

[0042] refer to Figure 3 The feeding assembly 7 includes a feeding drive source 71, a feeding plate 72, a brush 73, and a water spray head 74. The feeding drive source 71 is specifically a linear module. The body of the feeding drive source 71 is fixedly connected to the material storage bin 8, and the feeding plate 72 is fixedly connected to the output end of the feeding drive source 71, located inside the material storage bin 8. After the material picking mechanism 5 moves the material core downwards into the material storage bin 8, the clamping chuck 522 releases its grip on the material core. The lifting drive source 521 drives the clamping chuck 522 downwards, where the material core is supported by the abutment seat 513. Subsequently, the feeding drive source 71 drives the feeding plate 72 to move horizontally, causing the feeding plate 72 to push the material core to one side of the material storage bin 8, allowing the material storage bin 8 to temporarily store a certain number of material cores.

[0043] refer to Figure 3 Both the brush 73 and the water spray head 74 are fixedly connected to the pusher plate 72, and the brush 73 is in contact with the inner wall of the material storage bin 8. The water spray head 74 can spray water onto the inner wall of the material storage bin 8. When the pusher plate 72 moves, it drives the brush 73 to brush the inner wall of the material storage bin 8, thereby reducing the deposition of debris on the inner wall of the material storage bin 8.

[0044] refer to Figure 3 A water collection tank 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the material storage bin 8. Multiple filter holes are provided on the bottom wall of the material storage bin 8, which communicates with the water collection tank 9 through these holes. Water flowing during processing flows into the water collection tank 9 for collection. A collection bin 10 is detachably connected to one side of the material storage bin 8 and communicates with it. A material outlet is provided on the top side of the material storage bin 8, and a material outlet cover 11 is provided to seal the outlet. When the material outlet cover 11 is opened, the material core stored in the material storage bin 8 can be removed. After all the material cores in the material storage bin 8 have been transferred out, the pusher drive source 71 drives the brush 73 to move via the pusher plate 72, causing the brush 73 to sweep the debris from the inner wall of the material storage bin 8 into the collection bin 10 for collection.

[0045] 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.
