[0002] Automobile generator aluminum alloy bracket, such as Figure 1 As shown, it adopts a three-plate mold center gate system and semi-solid high vacuum die-casting. After the mold is opened, the center gate remains on the product. Since the height of the center gate is relatively high and the thickness of most inner gates is also relatively thick, if the removal plan is unreasonable, the product will be short of material or even deformed, resulting in batch scrapping of products.

[0003] The gate removal solution is generally to use a trimming die to remove it or a sawing machine to remove it.

[0004] Sawing and Removal by Sawing Machine: Sawing and removal can be done in the automated die-casting island or in the later process. First, the direct casting section of the center gate is removed by sawing, but there will be a residual disc section, which is removed by machining in the later process. Sawing and Removal of Center Gate: A combination of sawing and machining is required to remove it, which means that the product will carry the center gate from the die-casting line to the completion of machining. The product's circulation and processing steps are increased, the product's production cycle is extended, and the product's manufacturing cost is increased. Therefore, the sawing and removal solution is suitable for small-batch production and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a device for removing the center gate. Utility Model Content

The reamer 4 is installed on the spindle of the vertical milling machine 2, and the spindle motor drives the reamer 4 to rotate, thereby rotary cutting the center gate of the workpiece. A blanking port 11 is arranged on the base plate 1, and the workpiece seat 3 is detachably arranged on the base plate 1. A positioning hole 31 corresponding to the blanking port 11 is arranged on the surface of the workpiece seat 3, and a positioning column 32 is circumferentially arranged around the positioning hole on the upper surface of the workpiece seat 3; in this embodiment, three positioning columns 32 are arranged, corresponding to the three holes on the workpiece, and the workpiece is fixed by the three positioning columns 32 to prevent the workpiece from rotating when the reamer 4 rotary cuts; at the same time, the center gate is centered by the positioning hole 31 to ensure that the center gate corresponds to the position of the reamer 4.

[0024] The reamer 4 includes a reamer body 41, which is a cylindrical structure. A connecting portion 42 is extended from the upper end of the reamer body 41, and the reamer 4 is connected to the vertical milling machine 2 through the connecting portion 42. A plurality of protrusions 43 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the reamer body 41, and a chip removal groove 44 for rapid chip removal is formed between adjacent protrusions. A cutting edge 45 is arranged at the lower end of the protrusion, and a clearance groove 46 is recessed at the lower end of the reamer body 41. The reamer 4 is driven to rotate rapidly by the vertical milling machine 2, and the center gate is cut by the cutting edge 45, and the chips are quickly discharged from the chip removal groove 44.

[0025] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the angle α between the protrusion 43 and the vertical plane is set to 10°-15°.

[0026] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, fixing grooves 33 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the workpiece seat 3, and fixing holes corresponding to the fixing grooves 33 are arranged on the bottom plate 1, and the fixing grooves 33 and the fixing holes are connected by screws 5.

[0027] In the above embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the fixing groove 33 is through-through and has an opening on one side. The open fixing groove 33 is provided to facilitate the installation of the workpiece seat 3 and the base plate 1, and the position of the workpiece seat 3 is adjusted horizontally along the opening direction of the fixing groove 33.

[0028] In the above embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, three fixing grooves 33 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the workpiece seat 3 .

[0029] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a workpiece sensing device 6 is also provided on the bottom plate 1 , and the workpiece sensing device 6 is used to sense whether there is a workpiece on the workpiece seat 3 .

[0030] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the workpiece sensing device 6 includes two sets of mounting brackets 61, an infrared receiver 62 and an infrared transmitter 63.

The infrared receiver 62 and the infrared transmitter 63 are arranged on both sides of the workpiece seat 3, and the detection beam spans the positioning hole 31. The infrared receiver 62 and the infrared transmitter 63 are arranged on the left and right sides. When there is no workpiece on the workpiece seat 3, the infrared light rays are not blocked, and the detection signal is "empty position", and a workpiece can be put down. When there is a workpiece on the workpiece seat 3, the infrared light rays are blocked by the workpiece, and the detection signal is "in position", and a workpiece will not be put down. Whether it is manual material placement or robot material placement, the setting of the workpiece sensing device 6 can prevent the next workpiece from being put in when the previous workpiece has not been taken away, causing damage to the workpiece, fixture, and equipment.

[0031] In the above embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the mounting bracket 61 includes a support 611, a pillar 612 and a guide sleeve 613.

The pillar 612 is a cylinder, so the guide sleeve 613 can rotate around the pillar 612 and move up and down to adjust to a proper position to improve the accuracy of infrared sensing.

[0032] When the utility model is used, Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the workpiece is placed on the workpiece seat 3 and aligned with the positioning column 32. At this time, the workpiece sensing device 6 senses the workpiece and starts the equipment; if the workpiece is not sensed, the equipment cannot be started. The vertical milling machine 2 controls the reamer 4 to rotate and drives the reamer 4 to move toward the workpiece to cut the center gate. After the center gate is separated from the workpiece, it falls along the drop opening to the waste frame for collection. After completion, the vertical milling machine 2 resets and waits for the next workpiece.
