[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model is further described in detail below in combination with specific implementation methods and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0021] It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0022] Some embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 , a high-efficiency automatic tool changing and grinding equipment, comprising a mounting seat 1, a chuck portion 2 is mounted at the bottom of the mounting seat 1, a rotating shaft 12 driven by a motor 11 is mounted at the center of the chuck portion 2, a through hole 3 penetrating the upper and lower ends is arranged in the rotating shaft 12, a locking chamfer 4 is arranged at the lower end of the through hole 3, a locking sleeve 5 that can be retracted toward the center is slidably mounted in the through hole 3, an inclined portion 6 is arranged at the outer side of the lower end of the locking sleeve 5 corresponding to the locking chamfer 4, a connecting rod 8 reset by a knife locking spring 7 is mounted at the top of the locking sleeve 5, the upper end of the connecting rod 8 extends from the upper end of the through hole 3, a locking cylinder 9 is mounted at the top of the mounting seat 1, the locking cylinder 9 is mounted on a machine tool, such as a robot arm, and the locking cylinder 9 is driven by the robot arm The cylinder 9 moves, thereby driving the automatic tool changing device to move as a whole. The locking cylinder 9 is provided with a telescopic shaft 10 for pushing the connecting rod 8. The connecting rod is pushed by extending the telescopic shaft, so that the inclined portion is separated from the locking chamfer, and the locking sleeve is reset outward (the locking sleeve itself has a certain deformation recovery ability). The tool automatically falls out of the locking sleeve, and the connecting rod is reset by retracting the telescopic shaft. The locking spring pushes the connecting rod to reset, and the inclined portion slides along the locking chamfer, so that the locking sleeve shrinks toward the center to tighten the tool. The locking sleeve 5 is provided with a notch 25, and the notch 25 provides space for the locking sleeve 5 to shrink toward the center. The tool changing efficiency is high and the degree of automation is high. At the same time, it can reduce the locking difference caused by manual operation and reduce the labor intensity of the operator.
[0024] A cutter disc is placed outside the processing range, and tools of different coarseness and fineness are placed on the cutter disc in a regular pattern. When the tool needs to be replaced, the robotic arm drives the automatic tool changer to move to the corresponding position. If the tool is already installed on the automatic tool changer, the old tool is put back in place and then replaced with a new one to continue the grinding and polishing operation. It has a high degree of automation, realizes unmanned or less-manned production operations, and is easy to integrate with the automatic control system.
[0025] A heat-conducting sleeve 13 is installed in the chuck portion 2, and at least one bearing 15 is installed in the heat-conducting sleeve 13. The rotating shaft 12 is installed on the inner ring of the bearing 15. A continuous spiral heat dissipation groove 14 is arranged on the outer side of the heat-conducting sleeve 13. The spiral heat dissipation groove 14 and the inner wall of the chuck portion 2 are surrounded to form a heat dissipation duct. An air inlet and an air outlet are arranged on the outer side of the chuck portion 2 corresponding to the air inlet end and the air outlet end of the heat dissipation duct. The air inlet pipe is connected to a cooling fan. When the rotating shaft 12 rotates at a high speed, a large amount of heat is generated, which is transferred to the heat dissipation duct through the heat-conducting sleeve 13. A large amount of low-temperature air (which can be air at room temperature or air cooled by a compressor) is sent to the air inlet through the cooling fan to take away a large amount of heat from the air outlet.
[0026] An upper limit member 16 is installed at the upper end of the connecting rod 8, and a lower limit member 17 is installed at the lower part of the rotating shaft 12 located below the upper limit member 16. An annular mounting groove is formed between the upper limit member 16 and the lower limit member 17, and the knife lock spring 7 is installed in the mounting groove. The knife lock spring 7 can be a spiral spring or a disc spring. In this embodiment, a disc spring is adopted, and the spring has a cone structure as a whole. Two disc springs are placed opposite to each other (that is, in the cone structure, the end with a larger diameter is placed against each other, so that the two disc springs form a diamond-like structure, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown in the figure, when the spring is squeezed, the spring changes from a conical structure to a flat structure. When the spring is released, the spring returns to its original shape and generates thrust.
[0027] In actual processing, the casting may not be a complete plane. Therefore, in a grinding operation, it is necessary to provide a pressure to the tool so that the tool can always fit the casting. This pressure is not constant and needs to be adjusted according to different materials, different grinding degrees, etc. A floating cylinder 20 is installed between the bottom of the locking cylinder 9 and the top surface of the mounting seat 1 to push the mounting seat 1 up and down; a plurality of guide pillars 18 are installed on the top surface of the mounting seat 1 along the circumferential direction, and guide holes are provided in the locking cylinder 9 corresponding to the guide pillars 18. The guide pillars 18 are inserted in the guide holes. The mounting seat 1 cooperates with the guide pillars 18 and the guide holes. The floating cylinder 20 moves up and down, thereby achieving the effect of making the tool always fit with the casting. A pulling force is provided to the mounting seat 1 through the floating cylinder 20, thereby reducing the pressure exerted by the mounting seat 1 on the casting (the gravity of the mounting seat 1 is the sum of the gravity of the mounting seat 1 itself and all parts installed on the mounting seat 1, and the gravity is equal to the sum of the pulling force provided by the floating cylinder 20 and the reaction force of the casting on the tool). The pulling force provided by the floating cylinder 20 is adjustable. It can be set and adjusted through the control panel of the machine tool according to different materials and different polishing degrees, so the actual pressure of the tool on the casting can be adjusted.
[0028] A dustproof bellows 21 is installed between the lower end of the locking cylinder 9 and the top surface of the mounting seat 1 .
[0029] The mounting seat 1 is provided with a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, the chuck portion 2 is mounted on the second mounting portion, the motor 11 is mounted on the first mounting portion, a driving wheel 22 is mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor 11, a driven wheel 23 is mounted on the rotating shaft 12 corresponding to the driving wheel 22, and the driving wheel 22 and the driven wheel 23 are connected through a transmission belt 24.
[0030] The mounting base 1 includes an upper shell 19 and a lower shell 26 , a cavity is provided between the upper shell 19 and the lower shell 26 , and the driving wheel 22 and the driven wheel 23 are installed in the cavity.
[0031] The transmission parts are wrapped as a whole by the dustproof bellows 21, the upper shell and the lower shell, etc., to prevent external dust from entering and to prevent internal lubricating oil from splashing outward, thereby providing strong protection for the transmission part of this product.
