[0042] When finishing metal parts, multiple cutting robots are set up according to the surface conditions of the metal parts to be processed.

[0043] The cutting robot can be equipped with a variety of processing tools such as milling cutters, turning tools and drill bits as needed, which can be used to perform various processing techniques on metal parts.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The material transport assembly 3 includes an I-shaped rail 31 and a slide 32.

The straight I-shaped rails 31 and the curved I-shaped rails 31 are alternately provided, and the wedge-shaped blocks on the I-shaped rails 31 are inserted into adjacent wedge-shaped grooves, thereby forming a ring structure.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The slide 32 is provided with a material fixing assembly 4, which includes a limit block 41, a cylinder 42 and a clamping block 43. The limit block 41 is fixedly arranged on the slide 32. The cylinder 42 is horizontally arranged on the slide 32, and the fixed end of the cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to the slide 32. The clamping block 43 is fixedly arranged on the movable end of the cylinder 42, and the clamping block 43 is located between the cylinder 42 and the limit block 41.

[0047] When transporting materials, the materials are placed between the clamping block 43 and the limit block 41, and then the cylinder 42 is started, and the cylinder 42 drives the clamping block 43 to move toward the limit block 41, thereby fixing the materials between the clamping block 43 and the limit block 41. The motor 322 is started, and the motor 322 drives the pulley 321 to rotate, thereby driving the slide 32 to slide along the I-shaped track 31, so as to transport the materials through the workstations of each cutting robot.

[0048] When different material processing requires increasing the length of the I-rail 31 , the operator can disassemble the I-rail 31 through the wedge blocks and wedge grooves, and then splice the I-rail 31 of any length as needed to meet production requirements.

[0049] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 , a moving assembly 5 is provided on the bracket 1, and the moving assembly 5 includes a slide rail 51 and a slider 52. The slide rail 51 is horizontally fixedly provided on the bracket 1, and the slide rail 51 is located outside the annular I-shaped rail 31. A wedge block is fixedly provided at one end of the slide rail 51, and a wedge groove is provided at the other end of the slide rail 51. Four I-shaped rails 31 are horizontally fixedly provided on the bracket 1, including two linear slide rails 51 and two arcuate slide rails 51. The linear slide rails 51 and the arcuate slide rails 51 are alternately provided, and the wedge blocks on the slide rails 51 are inserted into adjacent wedge grooves, thereby forming an annular structure. At least one slider 52 is horizontally provided, and is slidably connected to the slide rail 51. The cutting robot is fixedly provided on the slider 52.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 The bracket 1 is provided with a material gripping module 7, which is provided with at least three groups, and the material gripping module 7 includes a mechanical arm 71 and a clamping claw 72. The mechanical arm 71 is fixedly provided on the slider 52. The clamping claw 72 is fixedly provided on the mechanical arm 71.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 , a module fixing assembly 6 is provided on the slider 52, and the module fixing assembly 6 includes a block 61, a pull rod 62 and a spring 63. A slide groove 521 is vertically provided on the slider 52. A plurality of positioning grooves 511 are vertically provided on the slide rail 51. One end of the block 61 is located in the slide groove 521 and is slidably connected to the slider 52.

The spring 63 is vertically provided in the slide groove 521, and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the slider 52 and the block 61.

[0052] When different material processing requires increasing the length of the slide rail 51 , the operator can disassemble the slide rail 51 through the wedge blocks and wedge grooves, and then splice the slide rail 51 of any length as needed to meet production requirements.

[0053] When processing different materials, the operator can pull the pull rod 62 upwards to make the block 61 compress the spring 63 and slide upwards, away from the positioning groove 511. Then the operator moves the slider 52 to slide along the slide rail 51 to a suitable work position, releases the pull rod 62, and under the action of the spring 63, the block 61 slides downwards into the positioning groove 511, fixing the slider 52 to the slide rail 51, thereby adjusting the installation position of the processing module 2 and the material clamping module 7 as needed.

[0054] When processing materials, the robot arm 71 drives the clamping claw 72 to work, and can automatically load, unload and turn materials, so that after completing a processing cycle, the slide 32 for material transportation can return to the initial position along the I-shaped track 31 after the robot arm 71 drives the clamping claw 72 to unload and reload materials, and continue to transport new materials. When processing materials, the robot arm 71 drives the clamping claw 72 to work to turn the materials over, so that the processing module 2 can process different planes of the materials.

[0055] The implementation principle of a flexible finishing device for small batches of metal parts in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0056] When finishing the metal parts, the operator uses wedge blocks and wedge grooves to splice the I-rail 31 and the slide rail 51 into the required length according to the surface conditions of the metal parts to be processed, and sets the required processing module 2 and material clamping module 7.

[0057] Then the operator pulls up the pull rod 62, causing the block 61 to compress the spring 63 and slide upward, away from the positioning groove 511. The operator then moves the slider 52 to slide along the slide rail 51 to a suitable position, releases the pull rod 62, and under the action of the spring 63, the block 61 slides downward into the positioning groove 511, fixing the slider 52 to the slide rail 51, thereby adjusting the installation position of the processing module 2 and the material clamping module 7 as needed.

[0058] When finishing metal parts, the robot arm 71 drives the clamping claw 72 to place the material between the clamping block 43 and the limit block 41, and then starts the cylinder 42, which drives the clamping block 43 to fix the material, and then starts the motor 322, which drives the pulley 321 to drive the slide 32 to slide along the I-shaped track 31 and move to the workstation of each processing module 2. The processing module 2 processes the material. In this process, the material is turned over by the material clamping module 7 as needed to facilitate the processing of different surfaces of the material. After the processing is completed, the material is removed by the material clamping module 7, and then the slide 32 slides along the I-shaped track 31 to the initial position, and the material transportation can be repeated.

[0059] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
