Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sealing component processing devices, and in particular to an automatic groove milling device for graphite gaskets. Background Art

[0002] Graphite gasket is an industrial sealing material, which is cut from graphite sheets. Its main component is graphite, so it has good thermal conductivity, sealing and anti-oxidation properties. In industrial production, graphite gaskets are widely used in various sealing occasions and can be used for sealing various temperatures and media. Its sealing performance is mainly due to the layered structure of graphite, which can form multiple levels of sealing. In high temperature and high pressure environments, the sealing performance of graphite gaskets is more prominent.

[0003] When the graphite gasket is connected with the pipe fitting, in order to improve the sealing effect of the graphite gasket on the pipe fitting, it is necessary to set a groove on the outside of the graphite gasket to connect with the pipe fitting. Since the graphite gasket is connected with the pipe fitting through the groove, the neatness of the groove affects the sealing of the graphite gasket and the pipe fitting.

[0004] Traditionally, the staff installs the graphite gasket to be processed on the clamping chuck for clamping, and cuts the graphite gasket into a groove of appropriate depth by the cutting tool as the graphite gasket rotates. Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, the manual loading method is relatively troublesome and labor-intensive, so it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0035] The present application embodiment discloses an automatic milling device for graphite gaskets. Figure 1 and Figure 2The milling groove device includes a vibrating loading tray 1, a feeding track 2, a transfer assembly 3, a clamping assembly 4 and a milling groove assembly 5. The vibrating loading tray 1 is used to vibrate and sort the graphite gaskets so that the graphite gaskets can be transported out in rows. The feeding track 2 is connected to the output end of the vibrating loading tray 1, and the feeding track 2 is used to transport the sorted graphite gaskets. Specifically, the feeding track 2 is provided with a limiting groove 6 along the conveying direction, and the width of the limiting groove 6 is slightly larger than the thickness of a single graphite gasket, so that the limiting groove 6 can limit the graphite gasket. The feeding track 2 includes an integrally connected inclined section 21 and a curved section 22, the higher of the two ends of the inclined section 21 is connected to the vibrating loading tray 1, and the lower of the two ends of the inclined section 21 is connected to the curved section 22, and the end of the curved section 22 away from the inclined section 21 is located below the inclined section 21 and is arranged toward the ground. The graphite gasket gradually transitions to the curved section 22 along the inclined section 21 , so that the graphite gasket gradually changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state, which facilitates the subsequent transfer of the graphite gasket by the transfer assembly 3 .

[0036] The transfer assembly 3 is located at one side of the bending section 22, and is used to transfer the graphite gasket in the bending section 22 to the clamping assembly 4. The transfer assembly 3 includes a translation seat 31, a linear cylinder 32, and a magnetic adsorption member 33. The translation seat 31 is movably arranged. In this embodiment, the movement of the translation seat 31 is driven by the pneumatic cylinder 7, and the translation seat 31 is connected to the piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder 7. The linear cylinder 32 is installed on the translation seat 31, and the magnetic adsorption member 33 is connected to the piston rod of the linear cylinder 32. The magnetic adsorption member 33 is used to adsorb the graphite gasket at the end of the bending section 22.

[0037] The clamping assembly 4 is close to the transfer assembly 3, and the clamping assembly 4 is used to clamp the graphite gasket; the milling assembly 5 is located on one side of the clamping assembly 4, and the milling assembly 5 is used to mill the graphite gasket after clamping. Specifically, the clamping assembly 4 includes a rotating seat 41 and a clamping jaw chuck 42, the rotating seat 41 is rotatably connected to the frame, and the clamping jaw chuck 42 is installed on the rotating seat 41; the rotating seat 41 is used to drive the clamping jaw chuck 42 to rotate, and the clamping jaw chuck 42 is used to clamp the graphite gasket on the magnetic adsorption component 33.

[0038] When the graphite gasket needs to be processed, the magnetic force of the magnetic adsorption part 33 is used to attract the graphite gasket at the end of the bending section 22. Then the pneumatic cylinder 7 drives the translation seat 31 to move, so that the linear cylinder 32 and the magnetic adsorption part 33 move synchronously and gradually approach the position of the clamping assembly. Then the linear cylinder 32 is operated to make the magnetic adsorption part 33 approach the clamping chuck 42. At the same time, the magnetic adsorption part 33 removes the graphite gasket so that the graphite gasket is clamped by the clamping chuck 42. The rotating seat 41 can drive the clamping chuck 42 to rotate, so that the graphite gasket and the tool 52 rotate relative to each other, thereby completing the milling process of the graphite gasket.

[0039] In addition, a dust extraction pipe 8 is installed on the CNC lathe 51, one end of which is close to the tool 52 and the other end is connected to an external exhaust fan. Since metal dust is generated during the processing, a negative pressure is generated in the dust extraction pipe 8 under the action of the exhaust fan, so that the dust extraction pipe 8 can absorb the metal dust and reduce the impact of dust on surrounding workers.
