Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass deep processing technology, specifically to a high-efficiency continuous glass edging equipment with dual-station alternating loading and unloading. Background Technology

[0002] In the glass deep processing industry, edge grinding is an indispensable and crucial step before subsequent processes such as tempering, lamination, and insulated glass production. Its purpose is to eliminate sharp edges, micro-cracks, and chipping defects present on the glass edges after cutting, thereby improving the glass's mechanical strength, optical properties, and safety. With the continuous increase in demand for glass quality and production capacity from the building decoration, automobile manufacturing, electronic display, and photovoltaic industries, the processing efficiency, precision, and automation level of edge grinding equipment have become core technical indicators restricting the industry's development.

[0003] Currently, conventional glass edging equipment is mainly divided into two categories: single-station edging machines and multi-station edging machines. Single-station edging machines typically use manual or simple mechanical assistance to complete the glass loading and unloading operations. During the edging process, they must wait for all processes such as loading, positioning, clamping, grinding, and unloading to be completed before the next cycle can begin. This results in a long non-processing auxiliary time, leading to low equipment utilization and difficulty in meeting the needs of continuous mass production. While some multi-station edging machines achieve alternating operations between stations to a certain extent, their positioning and clamping structures often adopt a split design, with each clamping unit operating independently. This results in uneven distribution of clamping force on different edges of the glass, which can easily cause glass displacement or skew during grinding due to vibration or fluctuations in cutting force, affecting the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the edging.

[0004] Furthermore, existing glass positioning and clamping mechanisms in edging equipment typically employ direct-drive clamping blocks using pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. This makes precise adjustment of the clamping force difficult, and when grinding different edges of the glass one by one, the clamping components adjacent to the grinding head are prone to spatial interference with the grinding mechanism, limiting the continuity of the grinding path and the processing range. Simultaneously, the horizontal positioning of glass in traditional equipment often relies on single adsorption or mechanical edge-stopping methods, which are prone to loosening under high-speed grinding conditions, further reducing processing stability.

[0005] On the other hand, existing edge grinding equipment with multi-station alternation functions mostly adopts rotary table or swing arm structures for station switching mechanisms. These structures occupy a large space, and the positioning accuracy of the stations during the switching process is limited by the cumulative error of the rotary mechanism, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of repeatable positioning of each group of stations at the grinding station. At the same time, the drive system and clamping system of such equipment are usually independent of each other, lacking an integrated power switching and transmission mechanism, resulting in complex equipment structure, high maintenance costs, and the need for independent power sources for the tension adjustment of each clamping module, which increases the energy consumption and control difficulty of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency continuous glass edging equipment with dual-station alternating loading and unloading, so as to solve the problems of low equipment utilization, poor clamping and positioning reliability, easy spatial interference during grinding, insufficient station switching accuracy and stability, and low integration of power system in the existing technology.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above objectives is: a high-efficiency continuous glass edging equipment with dual-station alternating loading and unloading, comprising: The positioning mechanism includes two sets arranged in a straight line, used to position the glass to be edged to a horizontal position. A linear transfer mechanism is arranged horizontally and is poweredly connected to the two sets of positioning mechanisms, used to drive the two sets of positioning mechanisms to move synchronously in a straight line. An edge grinding mechanism is arranged on the linear transfer mechanism to receive the positioning mechanism transmitted by the linear transfer mechanism and to perform edge grinding on the glass positioned and clamped by the positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism includes a transfer platform and a clamping module, an indexing module, and a drive module assembled on the transfer platform. The transfer platform is powered to the linear transfer mechanism. The clamping module includes four sets arranged in a cross shape. The drive module is assembled to the indexing module and is driven by the indexing module to achieve a power connection with the clamping module at the corresponding angle. The clamping module is used to clamp and position the corresponding side of the glass.

[0008] Based on the above technical solutions, in order to ensure the stable assembly of the linear transfer mechanism and to drive the positioning mechanism to move stably along the linear direction on it, the following technical solution is provided: The linear transfer mechanism includes a travel guide rail, synchronous pulleys, a synchronous belt, and a drive motor. The travel guide rail is laid on a horizontal surface in a straight line. The bottom of the transfer platform is equipped with travel pulleys that are matched with the travel guide rail. The synchronous pulleys are distributed along the length of the travel guide rail. Adjacent sets of synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt. The synchronous belt is fixedly connected to the transfer platform. The drive motor is connected to a portion of the synchronous pulleys.

[0009] Based on the above technical solutions, in order to ensure that the edging mechanism can be stably arranged on the linear transfer mechanism and to achieve efficient edging processing of the glass input into it, the following technical solutions are provided: The edging mechanism includes a mounting cover, a dual-axis feed module, and an edging head. The mounting cover is mounted on the middle of the travel guide rail. The dual-axis feed module is assembled into the mounting cover. The edging head is assembled onto the movable end of the dual-axis feed module. The mounting cover has inlet and outlet ports on both sides that do not interfere with the spatial movement of the positioning mechanism. The edging head, driven by the dual-axis feed module, works in conjunction with the positioning mechanism to achieve edging of the glass.

[0010] Based on the above technical solutions, in order to ensure that the clamping module can be stably assembled on the transfer platform and to achieve effective adjustment of the tensioning action so as to ensure that the glass is stably arranged in a horizontal state, the following technical solutions are provided: The transfer platform includes an upper pad with a guide groove and multiple sets of positioning suction cups. The clamping module includes a sliding seat, a chuck, and a worm gear and worm shaft that are rotatably mounted in the sliding seat and maintain a matching assembly. The sliding seat is slidably mounted in the guide groove, and the chuck is rotatably mounted on the sliding seat and coaxially fixed to the worm gear.

[0011] Based on the above technical solutions, in order to facilitate the stable sliding of the sliding seat in the guide groove and simultaneously control the stable rotation of the worm gear, the following technical solution is provided: The clamping module further includes an adjusting screw and a splined shaft that are rotatably mounted on the upper pad and arranged along the length of the guide groove. The adjusting screw is screwed to the sliding seat, and the splined shaft passes through the sliding seat and is slidably inserted to the worm gear.

[0012] Based on the above technical solutions, in order to ensure that the indexing module can be stably assembled on the positioning mechanism and to adjust the angle of the drive module, the following technical solutions are provided: The transfer platform also includes a lower base arranged below the upper pad, and the lower base and the upper pad are fixedly connected by a connecting plate; the indexing module includes a rotating disk rotatably mounted on the lower base and an adjusting motor A that is poweredly connected to the rotating disk, and the drive module is assembled on the rotating disk and is eccentrically arranged with the rotating disk.

[0013] Based on the above technical solutions, in order to ensure that the drive module can be stably assembled on the rotating disk and to achieve power connection with the clamping module, the following technical solutions are provided: The drive module includes a fixed bracket, a sliding bracket, an adjusting motor B, an adjusting motor C, and a first locking connector and a second locking connector arranged coaxially. The fixed bracket is fixedly installed on the rotating disk, the sliding bracket is slidably installed on the fixed bracket and moves up and down in the vertical direction, the first locking connector and the second locking connector are both rotatably installed on the sliding bracket and arranged coaxially, and the adjusting motors B and C are both fixedly installed on the fixed bracket and are poweredly connected to the first locking connector and the second locking connector, respectively.

[0014] Based on the above technical solutions, in order to ensure that the No. 1 and No. 2 locking connectors can achieve power connection with the adjusting screw and splined shaft in the clamping module, the following technical solution is provided: The clamping module further includes a first locking groove and a second locking groove arranged coaxially. The first locking groove and the second locking groove are rotatably mounted on the upper pad and are respectively poweredly connected to the adjusting screw and the spline shaft. The fixed bracket is equipped with a return spring that abuts against the sliding bracket. An electromagnet arranged vertically is fixed on the sliding bracket. A permanent magnet that is vertically opposite to the electromagnet is mounted on the upper pad. The first locking connector and the second locking connector are nested and inserted into the first locking groove and the second locking groove, respectively.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, in order to ensure that the adjusting motors B and C can maintain a constant power connection with the first and second locking connectors during the lifting and lowering movement of the sliding bracket, the following technical solution is provided: The drive module also includes a first spline sleeve and a second spline head that are rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket and coaxially arranged. A first spline head and a second spline sleeve are respectively fixed to the first locking connector and the second locking connector. The adjusting motor B and the adjusting motor C are respectively connected to the first spline sleeve and the second spline head. The first spline sleeve and the first spline head are slidably inserted together. The second spline sleeve and the second spline head are also slidably inserted together.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. A linear conveyor mechanism drives two sets of positioning mechanisms to reciprocate synchronously along the guide rail, allowing them to alternately enter the edging mechanism for edging processing and the external loading / unloading station for glass loading and unloading operations. While one set of positioning mechanisms is performing grinding within the edging mechanism, the other set can simultaneously unload the already edged glass and load and position the glass to be processed. This effectively eliminates the non-processing auxiliary time caused by waiting for loading and unloading in traditional single-station equipment, allowing the edging machine head to maintain continuous operation. The overall processing efficiency of the equipment is significantly improved, fully adapting to the needs of continuous batch glass production.

[0017] 2. The positioning mechanism employs four sets of clamping modules arranged in a cross shape, independently clamping each of the four edges of the glass. Combined with multiple positioning suction cups on the upper pad, this creates a vacuum suction effect on the bottom surface of the glass, forming a composite positioning method of surface support and peripheral clamping. This structure ensures uniform, stable, and sufficient constraint force on the glass in a horizontal state, effectively resisting tangential forces and vibrations generated during grinding. It prevents displacement, skewing, or chattering of the glass, thus guaranteeing the consistency of the edge dimensions and the quality of the edge surface. It is particularly suitable for high-precision edge grinding of large-size or thin glass.

[0018] 3. Each clamping module uses a worm gear and worm shaft to drive the chuck rotation. Utilizing the unidirectional self-locking characteristic of the worm gear and worm shaft, the chuck maintains its current clamping posture without loosening after the splined shaft and worm shaft stop driving, ensuring a constant and reliable clamping force throughout the grinding process. This eliminates the need for continuous power supply, reducing energy consumption and improving system safety. Simultaneously, the chuck can freely switch between horizontal and vertical positions under worm gear drive. In the horizontal position, the chuck is below the glass plane and can freely retract with the sliding seat, avoiding spatial movement interference with the grinding head. In the vertical position, the chuck is above the glass plane, achieving effective clamping of the corresponding edges of the glass. This design allows the grinding head to continuously move along all edges of the glass under the drive of the dual-axis feed module. The grinding path is not obstructed by the clamping components, and the processing range is complete, making it particularly suitable for full-contour grinding of irregularly shaped or asymmetrical glass.

[0019] 4. The drive module is mounted on the rotating disk of the indexing module and is eccentrically positioned. Motor A drives the rotating disk, causing the drive module to align sequentially with the clamping modules at different angles. Combined with the attraction / repulsion control of electromagnets and permanent magnets, and the lifting movement of the sliding bracket, the first and second locking connectors on the drive module can achieve precise automatic docking and disengagement with the first and second locking slots of the corresponding clamping modules. This selectively transmits the power from motors B and C to the adjusting screws and splined shafts of each clamping module. This integrated power switching mechanism significantly reduces the number of power sources in the equipment, simplifies the electrical control system, lowers manufacturing costs and failure rates, and simultaneously improves the coordination and adjustment accuracy of the clamping modules.

[0020] 5. In the clamping module, the adjusting screw is screwed to the sliding seat, and the splined shaft passes through the sliding seat and slides coaxially with the worm gear. When power is supplied to the drive module, the operation of the adjusting screw can independently control the movement of the sliding seat along the guide groove to adapt to the clamping position of glass of different sizes; the operation of the splined shaft can independently control the rotation of the worm gear and worm wheel, thereby adjusting the clamping and releasing posture of the chuck. The two power transmission paths do not interfere with each other, enabling the positioning mechanism to quickly adapt to the processing requirements of various glass specifications without the need for manual adjustment of the fixture, significantly shortening the changeover time and improving the flexible processing capability of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 7 A high-efficiency continuous glass edging machine with alternating loading and unloading at two stations, comprising: Positioning mechanism 1 includes two sets arranged in a straight line, used to position the glass 4 to be edge-ground to a horizontal state; The linear transfer mechanism 2 is arranged in the horizontal direction and is poweredly connected to the two sets of positioning mechanisms 1, and is used to drive the two sets of positioning mechanisms 1 to move synchronously in the straight direction. The edge grinding mechanism 3 is arranged on the linear transfer mechanism 2 and is used to receive the positioning mechanism 1 transmitted from the linear transfer mechanism 2 and to perform edge grinding on the glass 4 positioned and clamped by the positioning mechanism 1. The positioning mechanism 1 includes a transfer platform 11 and a clamping module 12, an indexing module 13, and a drive module 14 assembled on the transfer platform 11. The transfer platform 11 is powered to the linear transfer mechanism 2. The clamping module 12 includes four sets arranged in a cross shape. The drive module 14 is assembled on the indexing module 13 and driven by the indexing module 13 to achieve a power connection with the clamping module 12 at the corresponding angle. The clamping module 12 is used to clamp and position the corresponding side of the glass 4.

[0026] The edge grinding equipment provided in this solution can be driven by a linear transfer mechanism 2 to alternately enter the edge grinding mechanism 3. The edge grinding mechanism 3 performs edge grinding on the clamped and positioned glass 4, while the outer positioning mechanism 1 can perform the loading action of glass 4. After the edge grinding operation is completed, the linear transfer mechanism 2 outputs the positioning mechanism 1 and glass 4 in the edge grinding mechanism 3 together, while the glass 4 loaded on the other positioning mechanism 1 is input into the edge grinding mechanism 3 to continue the edge grinding process. At this time, the output positioning mechanism 1 can perform the loading and unloading action of glass 4.

[0027] For the positioning mechanism 1, the transfer platform 11 can ensure that the clamping module 12, indexing module 13 and drive module 14 are stably assembled and operated on it, and through the power connection with the linear transfer mechanism 2, it drives the entire positioning mechanism 1 to alternately load and unload materials and cooperate with the edge grinding mechanism 3 to perform edge grinding.

[0028] The clamping modules 12 are arranged in a cross shape to effectively clamp and position each side of the glass 4, thereby avoiding invalid displacement of the glass 4 during the edge grinding operation, ensuring high efficiency and high quality of the edge grinding operation. The indexing module 13 can drive the drive module 14 to rotate and adjust among the four clamping modules 12, so as to realize the power connection between the drive module 14 and each clamping module 12 at the corresponding angle. The drive module 14 provides power to the corresponding clamping module 12 to adjust the clamping and releasing actions of the clamping module 12.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 To ensure the stable assembly of the linear transfer mechanism 2 and to drive the positioning mechanism 1 to move stably along a straight line on it, the following technical solution is provided: The linear transfer mechanism 2 includes a travel guide rail 21, synchronous pulleys 22, a synchronous belt 23, and a drive motor 24. The travel guide rail 21 is laid on a horizontal ground in a straight line. The bottom of the transfer platform 11 is equipped with travel wheels 111 that are matched with the travel guide rail 21. The synchronous pulleys 22 are distributed along the length of the travel guide rail 21. Adjacent sets of synchronous pulleys 22 are connected by a synchronous belt 23. The synchronous belt 23 is fixedly connected to the transfer platform 11. The drive motor 24 is connected to some of the synchronous pulleys 22.

[0031] In one implementation, two sets of parallel guide rails 21 are provided, and the travel wheels 111 mounted on both sides of the transfer platform 11 are matched with the two sets of guide rails 21 to achieve smooth travel of the transfer platform 11.

[0032] Two sets of coaxially fixed synchronous pulleys 22 are provided at each end of the travel guide rail 21. The synchronous pulleys 22 at both ends are connected by two sets of parallel synchronous belts 23. The drive motor 24 is connected to the two sets of synchronous pulleys 22 at one end, thereby driving the two sets of synchronous belts 23 to always run synchronously in the same direction. The transfer platform 11 in the two positioning mechanisms 1 is evenly fixedly connected to the two sets of synchronous belts 23 to realize the synchronous movement of the two positioning mechanisms 1.

[0033] Loading and unloading stations are set on both sides of the grinding mechanism 3. When the synchronous belt 23 drives one set of positioning mechanisms 1 into the grinding mechanism 3 for grinding, the other set of positioning mechanisms 1 is exactly at one of the loading and unloading stations to perform the loading and unloading action of glass 4. When the linear transfer mechanism 2 drives the two sets of grinding mechanisms 3 to perform periodic reciprocating motion, the alternating loading and unloading operation of glass 4 can be realized, so as to effectively improve the grinding efficiency of glass 4.

[0034] Based on the above implementation method, in order to avoid the large span of the timing belt 23 affecting the accuracy of the positioning mechanism 1 in adjusting the position, two sets of timing wheels 22 can be added to the middle of the travel guide rail 21 (i.e. the inner side of the grinding mechanism 3). Each set of timing wheels 22 in the middle includes two coaxially arranged wheels. The timing wheels 22 at the end of the travel guide rail 21 are connected to the timing wheels 22 in the middle that are farther apart. The transfer platforms 11 in the two sets of positioning mechanisms 1 are fixedly connected to the two sections of timing belt 23 to ensure that both sets of positioning mechanisms 1 can travel to the grinding station in the grinding mechanism 3.

[0035] The two sets of synchronous pulleys 22 located in the middle can be synchronized through a transmission mechanism, and then driven by the drive motor 24 to operate synchronously.

[0036] To ensure that the edging mechanism 3 can be stably arranged on the linear transfer mechanism 2 and to achieve efficient edging processing of the glass 4 input therein, the following technical solution is provided: The edging mechanism 3 includes a mounting cover 31, a dual-axis feed module, and an edging head. The mounting cover 31 is mounted on the middle of the travel guide rail 21. The dual-axis feed module is assembled in the mounting cover 31. The edging head is assembled on the movable end of the dual-axis feed module. The mounting cover 31 has inlet and outlet ports 32 on both sides that do not interfere with the spatial movement of the positioning mechanism 1. The edging head works in conjunction with the positioning mechanism 1 under the drive of the dual-axis feed module to achieve the edging treatment of the glass 4.

[0037] The mounting cover 31 ensures the stable assembly and operation of the dual-axis feed module. The dual-axis feed module can drive the grinding head to make precise position adjustments in the horizontal rectangular coordinate system, thereby effectively grinding each edge of the horizontally arranged glass 4. A dust collection component can also be attached to the grinding head to suck up the glass 4 debris generated during the grinding process, thereby preventing it from interfering with the positioning mechanism 1 and the dual-axis feed module and affecting their accuracy and stability.

[0038] The inlet / outlet 32 ​​ensures that the positioning mechanism 1 can enter and exit the installation cover 31 normally without spatial movement interference. During the grinding process of the grinding head grinding a specific side of the glass 4, the clamping module 12 at the corresponding position can be released from clamping the glass 4 and retracted under the drive of the drive module 14, so as to avoid spatial movement interference between the grinding head and the clamping module 12.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] Please see Figures 1-6 To ensure that the clamping module 12 can be stably assembled on the transfer platform 11 and that the tensioning action can be effectively adjusted to ensure that the glass 4 is stably arranged in a horizontal state, the following technical solution is provided: The transfer platform 11 includes an upper pad 112, on which a guide groove 1121 is provided, and multiple sets of positioning suction cups 1122 are also provided on the upper pad 112; the clamping module 12 includes a sliding seat 121, a chuck 122, and a worm gear 123 and a worm 124 that are rotatably installed in the sliding seat 121 and maintain a matching assembly. The sliding seat 121 is slidably installed in the guide groove 1121, and the chuck 122 is rotatably installed on the sliding seat 121 and is coaxially fixed to the worm gear 123.

[0041] The sliding seat 121 can drive the chuck 122 to slide stably in the guide groove 1121 to adapt to the glass 4 of a specific size. When the worm gear 124 is rotated, it can drive the worm wheel 123 and the chuck 122 to rotate stably. When the chuck 122 rotates to the horizontal state, it is set below the glass 4 and can be driven by the sliding seat 121 to slide freely along the guide groove 1121, thereby avoiding spatial movement interference of the chuck 122 to the edge grinding mechanism. When the chuck 122 rotates to the vertical state, it is set above the glass 4 and can effectively clamp and position each side of the glass 4.

[0042] During the glass 4 loading operation, the glass 4 can be placed on each positioning suction cup 1122 by manual or mechanical handling. At this time, the vacuum pump connected to the positioning suction cup 1122 runs and effectively adsorbs the glass 4 onto the positioning suction cup 1122 to achieve the initial positioning and support of the glass 4. Then, the clamping modules 12 are controlled to run to effectively clamp and position each side of the glass 4.

[0043] To facilitate stable sliding of the sliding seat 121 within the guide groove 1121 and stable rotation of the worm gear 124, the following technical solution is provided: The clamping module 12 also includes an adjusting screw 125 and a splined shaft 126 that are rotatably mounted on the upper pad 112 and arranged along the length of the guide groove 1121. The adjusting screw 125 is screwed to the sliding seat 121, and the splined shaft 126 passes through the sliding seat 121 and is coaxially slidably inserted with the worm gear 124.

[0044] When the control adjusting screw 125 operates, it drives the sliding seat 121 and its assembled components to slide stably along the guide groove 1121. During this process, the spline shaft 126 always maintains a sliding engagement with the synchronously moving worm 124 and transmits power. When the control spline shaft 126 operates, it drives the worm 124 to operate stably, thereby driving the worm wheel 123 and the chuck 122 to adjust their attitude. Since the helix angle of the worm 124 is smaller than the equivalent friction angle when it meshes with the worm wheel 123, it ensures that when the spline shaft 126 stops driving, the worm wheel 123 can achieve reverse self-locking under the action of external torque. Therefore, the combination of worm wheel 123 and worm 124 has a unidirectional self-locking characteristic. That is, when the spline shaft 126 and worm 124 are in a stationary state, the worm wheel 123 is in a self-locking state due to the structural characteristics of the worm 124, thereby ensuring that the chuck 122 can effectively clamp one side of the glass 4 without loosening.

[0045] Example 4

[0046] Please see Figure 7 To ensure that the indexing module 13 can be stably assembled on the positioning mechanism 1 and to adjust the angle of the drive module 14, the following technical solution is provided: The transfer platform 11 also includes a lower base 113 arranged below the upper pad 112. The lower base 113 and the upper pad 112 are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 114. The indexing module 13 includes a rotating disk 131 rotatably mounted on the lower base 113 and an adjusting motor A132 that is poweredly connected to the rotating disk 131. The drive module 14 is assembled on the rotating disk 131 and is eccentrically arranged with the rotating disk 131.

[0047] The travel wheel 111 is mounted on the lower base 113, and the synchronous belt 23 is also fixedly connected to the lower base 113 to ensure the stable movement of the entire transfer platform 11. The lower base 113 provides an installation carrier for the indexing module 13. The adjusting motor A132 is powered by the reversing bevel gear set A133. When the adjusting motor A132 drives the rotating disk 131 to rotate, it can drive the drive module 14 on it to adjust the angle, thereby enabling the drive module 14 to be powered by the clamping module 12 at a specific angle.

[0048] Example 5

[0049] Please see Figures 6-9 To ensure that the drive module 14 can be stably assembled on the rotating disk 131 and to achieve power connection with the clamping module 12, the following technical solution is provided: The drive module 14 includes a fixed bracket 141, a sliding bracket 142, an adjusting motor B143, an adjusting motor C144, and a first locking connector 145 and a second locking connector 146 arranged coaxially. The fixed bracket 141 is fixedly installed on the rotating disk 131. The sliding bracket 142 is slidably installed on the fixed bracket 141 and moves up and down in the vertical direction. The first locking connector 145 and the second locking connector 146 are both rotatably installed on the sliding bracket 142 and arranged coaxially. The adjusting motors B143 and C144 are both fixedly installed on the fixed bracket 141 and are poweredly connected to the first locking connector 145 and the second locking connector 146, respectively.

[0050] The fixed bracket 141 ensures that the related components are stably assembled on it, and the sliding bracket 142 can drive the first locking connector 145 and the second locking connector 146 assembled on it to move up and down in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the power connection with the adjusting screw 125 and the spline shaft 126 respectively.

[0051] The first locking connector 145 is arranged around the second locking connector 146 and can rotate freely. The power of the adjusting motor B143 can drive the adjusting screw 125 to operate stably through the first locking connector 145, while the power of the adjusting motor C144 can drive the spline shaft 126 to operate stably through the second locking connector 146, thereby realizing the effective adjustment of the position and retraction posture of the clamping module 12.

[0052] To ensure that the No. 1 lock connector 145 and the No. 2 lock connector 146 can achieve a power connection with the adjusting screw 125 and splined shaft 126 in the clamping module 12, the following technical solution is provided: The clamping module 12 also includes a first locking groove 1251 and a second locking groove 1261 arranged coaxially. The first locking groove 1251 and the second locking groove 1261 are rotatably mounted on the upper pad 112 and are poweredly connected to the adjusting screw 125 and the spline shaft 126, respectively. The fixed bracket 141 is equipped with a return spring 147 that abuts against the sliding bracket 142. The sliding bracket 142 is fixedly connected with an electromagnet 148 arranged in the vertical direction. The upper pad 112 is equipped with a permanent magnet 1123 that is vertically opposite to the electromagnet 148. The first locking connector 145 and the second locking connector 146 are nested and inserted into the first locking groove 1251 and the second locking groove 1261, respectively.

[0053] The first locking groove 1251 is arranged around the second locking groove 1261 and both are arranged in a vertical direction. The adjusting screw 125 is powered by the first locking groove 1251 through the reversing bevel gear set B1252, while the spline shaft 126 is powered by the second locking groove 1261 through the reversing bevel gear set C1262.

[0054] The permanent magnet 1123 is installed on the bottom of the upper pad 112 via the connecting bracket 1124. When the indexing module 13 drives the drive module 14 to rotate to a specific angle position, the electromagnet 148 is powered on. The electromagnet 148 attracts the permanent magnet 1123 installed here, thereby driving the sliding bracket 142 to overcome the resistance of the return spring 147 and drive the first locking connector 145 and the second locking connector 146 to move upward. This enables the first locking connector 145 to achieve a power connection with the first locking groove 1251 to stably transmit power to the adjusting screw 125. At the same time, the second locking connector 146 is also made to achieve a power connection with the second locking groove 1261 to stably transmit power to the spline shaft 126.

[0055] When the drive module 14 is restarted for angle adjustment, the electromagnet 148 is connected to the reverse power supply so that the electromagnet 148 and the permanent magnet 1123 generate a repulsive force. Then, under the joint action of the reset spring 147, the sliding bracket 142 is driven to move downward so that the first lock connector 145 and the second lock connector 146 are separated from the first lock groove 1251 and the second lock groove 1261, so as to facilitate the drive module 14 to perform angle adjustment under the drive of the indexing module 13.

[0056] During the lifting and lowering movement of the sliding bracket 142 driving the first locking connector 145 and the second locking connector 146, in order to ensure that the adjusting motors B143 and C144 can always maintain a power connection with the first locking connector 145 and the second locking connector 146, the following technical solution is provided: The drive module 14 also includes a first spline sleeve 1451 and a second spline head 1462, which are rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 141 and coaxially arranged. The first spline head 1452 and the second spline sleeve 1461 are respectively fixed to the first locking connector 145 and the second locking connector 146. The adjusting motors B143 and C144 are connected to the first spline sleeve 1451 and the second spline head 1462 respectively. The first spline sleeve 1451 and the first spline head 1452 are slidably inserted into each other, and the second spline sleeve 1461 and the second spline head 1462 are slidably inserted into each other.

[0057] The first spline sleeve 1451 is arranged around the second spline head 1462, and the first spline head 1452 is arranged around the second spline sleeve 1461. When the sliding bracket 142 drives the first locking connector 145 and the second locking connector 146 to move up and down, it can ensure that the first spline sleeve 1451 and the first spline head 1452 always maintain a power connection, and the second spline sleeve 1461 and the second spline head 1462 also maintain a power connection.

[0058] The regulating motor B143 is powered by the reversing bevel gear set D1431 and the first spline sleeve 1451, while the regulating motor C144 is powered by the reversing bevel gear set E1441 and the second spline head 1462, thereby stably transmitting power to the regulating screw 125 and the spline shaft 126.

[0059] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0060] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
