Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of grinding machine auxiliary mechanisms, in particular to a workpiece steering mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A grinder (grinding machine) is a machine tool that uses abrasive tools to grind the surface of a workpiece. Most grinders use high-speed rotating grinding wheels for grinding, while a few use other grinding tools such as oilstones, abrasive belts, and free abrasives for processing, such as honing machines, superfinishing machines, belt grinders, grinders, and polishers.

[0003] Magnetic steel is mainly used in various fields such as sensors, instruments, electronics, electromechanics, medical treatment, teaching, automobiles, aviation, and military technology. Depending on the metal composition of the magnetic steel, its magnetic properties will be different, and thus its uses will also be different. At present, magnetic steel is manufactured by powder metallurgy. The surface roughness of products made by powder metallurgy often does not meet the requirements, so it is necessary to grind its outer surface through a grinding device. Depending on the actual application scenario, the position of the outer surface that needs to be ground on the product is also different. At present, a large part of the magnetic steel has a rectangular structure. When grinding, in addition to grinding the two end faces in the length direction, it is also necessary to grind the two symmetrical side walls in the width direction.

[0004] In the prior art, two grinding machines are required for magnetic steel grinding of this type, one for grinding the two end faces in the length direction, and the other for grinding the two side walls in the width direction, and the two grinding machines work independently of each other. That is, the product needs to be ground twice, and the product needs to be transferred between the two grindings. After the transfer, the grinding surface of the product needs to be adjusted through a special vibration plate. Not only is the processing efficiency low, but it also requires the use of a vibration plate and a transfer box, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost. Utility Model Content

During the whole processing process, the workpiece does not need to be unloaded, transferred and then loaded, and can be directly completed through the reversing mechanism, thereby effectively improving the processing efficiency.

[0009] As an improvement, the driving assembly includes a driving motor, the driving motor is vertically connected to the fixing frame, and a fixing block is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor, and the center of the turntable is connected to the fixing block.

Those skilled in the art can make adjustments to them as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0021] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "fixed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0022] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present application discloses a workpiece steering mechanism, which is arranged between two adjacent grinders 1, and is used to rotate the workpiece output by the previous grinder 1 by a set angle and then enter the next grinder 1. Specifically, it refers to rotating the workpiece output by the previous grinder 1 by 90° and then entering the next grinder 1, so as to realize continuous grinding of different end faces of the workpiece and improve work efficiency.

[0024] The workpiece steering mechanism includes a fixed frame, a turntable 2 and a driving assembly. The fixed frame here is connected to the frame of any one of the grinders 1 or is fixed to the frames of the two grinders 1 at the same time. Of course, in some embodiments, the fixed frame can be directly placed on the ground for support and fixation. In addition, the turntable 2 in this structure can be horizontally rotatably connected to the fixed frame, and the radial outer ends of the turntable 2 are respectively close to the discharge port of the previous grinder 1 and the feed port of the next grinder 1. The driving assembly is connected to the fixed frame to drive the turntable 2 to rotate circumferentially so that the workpiece is transferred from the discharge port to the feed port; the fixed frame is also connected to a reversing track with openings at both ends and the bottom. The reversing track is located above the turntable 2 and close to its radial outer end, and the lower end surface of the reversing track is close to the upper surface of the turntable 2. The openings at both ends of the reversing track correspond to the discharge port and the feed port of the front and rear grinders 1 respectively.

[0025] Here’s how it works:

[0026] The driving component drives the turntable 2 to rotate circumferentially. After the two sides of the workpiece in the length direction are processed by the previous grinder 1, they are output from the discharge channel of its discharge port, and then enter the turntable 2 through an opening on one side of the reversing track. Driven by the rotation of the turntable 2, the workpiece is slowly transferred to the other end opening of the reversing track, and under the guiding action of the reversing track, the workpiece is rotated by a set angle and output to the loading channel of the subsequent grinder 1, and then the other two side walls of the workpiece are ground. In this embodiment, the set angle is 90 degrees, that is, the workpiece is ground at both end walls in the length direction in the previous grinder 1, and then the corresponding two side walls in the width direction are ground in the subsequent grinder 1. During the entire processing process, the workpiece does not need to be unloaded, transferred, and then loaded, and can be directly completed through the reversing mechanism, which effectively improves the processing efficiency.

[0027] In this embodiment, the driving assembly includes a driving motor 3, which is vertically connected to a fixing frame, and a fixing block (not shown) is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 3, and the center of the turntable 2 is connected to the fixing block. Figure 1 , 2 It can be seen that the center position of the turntable 2 is connected and fixed to the fixing block by four screws distributed in a rectangular shape.

[0028] Preferably, the fixing frame includes an L-shaped mounting seat 4, the vertical plate of the mounting seat 4 is detachably and height-adjustably connected to the frame of the grinding machine 1, the horizontal plate of the mounting seat 4 is detachably connected with an adjustment plate 5 that can be adjusted in position forward, backward, left and right, the driving motor 3 is vertically connected to the lower end of the adjustment plate 5, and the output shaft of the driving motor 3 passes through one end of the adjustment plate 5 and is connected to the turntable 2 through a fixed block. In this structure, in order to increase the structural stability, a triangular reinforcing rib is connected to the middle position between the horizontal plate and the vertical plate. In addition, a first waist-shaped hole extending vertically is opened at the lower end of the vertical plate, and a first fixing bolt for connecting the vertical plate to the frame of the grinding machine 1 is passed through the first waist-shaped hole. In this embodiment, in view of the installation space, two horizontally arranged mounting columns are connected to the side wall of the frame of the previous grinding machine 1, and the lower end of the vertical plate is movably connected to the two mounting columns along the vertical direction. Similarly, the adjustment plate 5 is respectively provided with second waist-shaped holes extending in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction. The adjustment plate 5 is connected to the horizontal plate through the second fixing bolts in the corresponding second waist-shaped holes, and the front-to-back and left-to-right position adjustment of the driving motor 3 is achieved by adjusting the position of the second fixing bolts in the corresponding waist-shaped holes, thereby ensuring that the turntable 2 is accurately aligned with the discharge port and the feed port, thereby facilitating the smooth transmission of the workpiece.

[0029] In this embodiment, two adjacent grinders 1 are arranged side by side, that is, the discharge channel of the front grinder 1 is parallel to the feed channel of the rear grinder 1, and the reversing track includes a first baffle and a second baffle arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the turntable 2, the first baffle and the second baffle are both connected to the fixed frame, and the height direction of the first baffle and the second baffle is perpendicular to the upper surface of the turntable 2; wherein the first baffle is a first arc-shaped baffle 6 arranged concentrically with the turntable 2, the first arc-shaped baffle 6 is located on the rear side of the turntable 2 and is basically aligned with its radial outer edge, and the two ends of the first arc-shaped baffle 6 extend to the discharge port and the feed port respectively, see the attached Figure 2 ; In actual applications, in order to enable the workpiece to enter or move away from the reversing track more smoothly, transition guide sections can be added at the two ends of the first arc-shaped baffle 6 close to the discharge port and the feed port, and the two transition guide sections extend to the rear side wall position of the discharge channel and the feed channel outlet end respectively.

[0030] In addition, see Appendix Figure 1 , 2The second baffle plate includes a second arc baffle plate 7 that is concentric with the first baffle plate, and the gap between the first arc baffle plate 6 and the first arc baffle plate 6 is smaller than the length of the workpiece. This design is to prevent the workpiece from being unable to reverse correctly during the conveying process of the turntable 2; the second arc baffle plate 7 is connected to a first arc guide plate 8 bent toward the center of the turntable 2 at one end close to the feed port, and the first arc guide plate 8 extends toward the front end at one end away from the second arc baffle plate 7, preferably beyond the front side wall of the discharge channel. In this way, when the workpiece enters the turntable 2 after leaving the discharge channel, the second arc guide plate 9 can play a blocking effect, preventing the workpiece from entering the central area of ​​the turntable 2, resulting in the inability to accurately enter the reversing track; similarly, the second arc baffle plate 7 is connected to a first arc guide plate 8 bent toward the far side at one end close to the discharge port. A second arc guide plate 9 is bent away from the center of the turntable 2, a feed guide channel is formed between the first arc guide plate 8 and one end of the first arc baffle 6, and a discharge guide channel is formed between the second arc guide plate 9 and the other end of the first arc baffle 6; the opening size of the feed guide channel is larger than the length of the workpiece, and the opening size of the discharge guide channel is larger than the width of the workpiece and smaller than the length of the workpiece, so that the workpiece enters the reversing channel along the length direction and rotates 90° and then slides out of the reversing track in the width direction; in this structure, the second arc guide plate 9 extends from one end of the second arc baffle 7 to the feed channel of the subsequent grinder 1, and a part of it located in the feed channel is basically horizontal, so that the workpiece can enter the feed channel in a horizontal state after coming out of the discharge guide channel.

[0031] In this embodiment, preferably, the second arc-shaped baffle plate 7, the first arc-shaped guide plate 8 and the second arc-shaped guide plate 9 are an integrated structure formed by bending an integral plate.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the second arc-shaped baffle plate 7, the first arc-shaped guide plate 8 and the second arc-shaped guide plate 9 can also be separately processed into respective curved plate bodies, and then connected into one by welding or screwing.

[0033] More specifically, Figure 2As shown, the first arc baffle 6 is connected to a first fixing plate 10 perpendicular to the discharge channel, the first fixing plate 10 is provided with a first elongated hole 11 extending along its length direction, and a first bolt 12 for connecting the first arc baffle 6 to the fixing frame is penetrated in the first elongated hole 11; the second arc baffle 7 is connected to a second fixing plate 13 perpendicular to the discharge channel, the second fixing plate 13 is provided with a second elongated hole 14 extending along its length direction, and a second bolt 15 for connecting the second arc baffle 7 to the fixing frame is penetrated in the second elongated hole 14. The front and rear position adjustment of the first arc baffle 6 can be achieved by adjusting the position of the first bolt 12 in the first elongated hole 11, and similarly, the front and rear position adjustment of the second arc baffle 7 can be achieved by adjusting the position of the second bolt 15, thereby achieving the width adjustment between the reversing tracks, so as to be applicable to workpieces of different specifications and sizes and improve versatility.

[0034] In this embodiment, a third elongated hole 16 parallel to the second elongated hole 14 is further provided on the second fixing plate 13, and a third bolt 17 for connecting the second arc-shaped baffle plate 7 to the second fixing plate 13 is passed through the third elongated hole 16. After this arrangement, the second arc-shaped baffle plate 7 can be adjusted simultaneously by the second bolt 15 and the third bolt 17, and the adjustment is more convenient and accurate.
