Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of golf product processing methods, in particular to golf ball processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] A golf club consists of two parts, a head and a club. The processing of the head is related to the contact surface and friction coefficient between the head and the golf ball when hitting. Therefore, the processing of the head requires high error requirements. However, due to the irregular shape of the existing head, it is necessary to place it on a fixture during processing, and use a milling cutter to form a predetermined shape. Then, the milling cutter is placed on a precision engraving device to process a predetermined texture on a predetermined surface of the head, thereby completing the processing of the product. However, in actual processing and production, it is found that the processing accuracy error is large due to the changes in the tool and the reference point when using two devices for processing.

[0003] Specifically, the iron rod is placed on the milling machine to mill the striking surface first, and then the engraving machine is used to engrave the line groove. Basically, the equipment used in the traditional process is large-area milling, and the spindle has good rigidity but low spindle speed. Because repeated clamping is required, it needs to be engraved in a floating manner, so it will take longer to load and unload the material. The line groove engraving needs to be made by an engraving machine because the line groove is fine. The characteristic of the engraving machine is that the spindle has a high speed, and the engraving machine equipment usually cannot replace the tool, and the production content is relatively simple. Disadvantages: It is more troublesome to adjust the depth.

[0004] Therefore, using two devices to process golf heads requires precise alignment of the processed products to effectively reduce errors, and the production efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to propose a golf ball processing equipment, which aims to achieve the milling and engraving requirements by directly replacing the tool through the tool changing mechanism, a high-speed spindle, and a freely rotating worktable. The striking surface can be milled flat or the grooves can be directly engraved after the texture is made, which can save the time of loading and unloading materials. The high spindle speed can process various textures with high precision, and the depth adjustment is convenient without the need for a tool sleeve to control the depth.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a golf ball processing device, comprising:

[0007] Processing equipment, the processing equipment includes a base, a vertical seat extending upward from one side of the base, a multi-axis movable frame arranged on the base, and a vertical movable frame arranged on the vertical seat, the multi-axis movable frame is detachably mounted with a positioning fixture, and the multi-axis movable frame can drive the positioning fixture seat to move longitudinally, transversely, rotate horizontally, and rotate vertically;

[0008] The vertical movable frame is provided with a rotating spindle, and the rotating spindle is provided with a detachable tool. One side of the processing equipment is also provided with a tool changing mechanism, and the tool changing mechanism is used to replace the tool of the rotating spindle.

[0009] After combining the milling and carving processes, the grooves and lines are processed in a variety of ways. In general, there will be problems with the tool sleeve in the process, which may scratch the lines (that is, when changing the tool, the tool sleeve plays the role of installation, and there is an error when changing). The reason is that the traditional tool sleeve has an error in controlling the depth, which will cause the tool sleeve to scratch the surface of the workpiece due to the process. Some shallower or complex lines cannot be matched. In this case, the process does not require the tool sleeve to be set, that is, the large surface and the grooves are processed in the same project, so the relative positions of the two tool processing can be controlled by the programming center to complete the two steps of processing.

[0010] Compared with the conventional tool-feeding method, it can realize the processing method in which the tool and the product move at the same time, thereby making the curvature transition of the striking surface more natural, that is, the tool setting can be realized in a set of programming procedures, reducing the position deviation in the fine carving process caused by the secondary tool setting. It can be understood that a striking surface has multiple position surfaces (with curvature). When the fixture changes or the product changes, the corresponding multiple parameters also change. Therefore, it is necessary to correspond multiple reference positions one by one to effectively reduce the error. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a golf ball processing device includes:

[0023] A processing device 1, the processing device 1 comprises a base 101, a vertical seat 102 extending upward from one side of the base 101, a multi-axis movable frame 200 arranged on the base 101, and a vertical movable frame arranged on the vertical seat 102, the multi-axis movable frame is detachably mounted with a positioning fixture, and the multi-axis movable frame can drive the positioning fixture seat to move longitudinally, transversely, rotate horizontally, and rotate vertically;

[0024] The vertical movable frame is provided with a rotating spindle 201, and the rotating spindle 201 is provided with a detachable tool 202. A tool changing mechanism is also provided on one side of the processing equipment 1, and the tool changing mechanism is used to replace the tool 202 of the rotating spindle 201;

[0025] The processing steps include:

[0026] S1: Place the workpiece on the positioning fixture and fix it, then move the multi-axis mobile frame to the predetermined detection position;

[0027] S2: First, the probe contacts the predetermined surface or peripheral surface of the workpiece to obtain the reference position of the workpiece, and then the visual inspection device obtains image data of the predetermined surface or peripheral surface of the workpiece, and then the image data is used to generate a simulated 3D structure in the data center through a three-dimensional software, and the simulated 3D structure includes the position and size of the workpiece;

[0028] S3: The surface of the workpiece to be processed is a striking surface, and the striking surface has a predetermined curvature. The milling cutter is installed on the rotating spindle 201, and the jig is driven to move and contact with the milling cutter through longitudinal movement, lateral movement, horizontal axial rotation, and vertical axial rotation, thereby processing a striking surface with a curvature on the surface of the workpiece;

[0029] S4: The tool changing mechanism removes the milling cutter and replaces the fine carving cutter, drives the fixture to move and contact the fine carving cutter through longitudinal movement, lateral movement, horizontal axial rotation and vertical axial rotation, and then processes lines and grooves on the surface of the workpiece, and the lines and grooves have a predetermined depth and curvature;

[0030] S5: Instruments or manual inspection of the accuracy of the striking surface, the programming center stores the processing data of the workpiece and compares it with the simulated 3D structure to obtain the processing error, and calculates the processing error to correct the processing data of the programming center or modify the simulated 3D structure data.

[0031] After combining the milling and carving processes, the grooves and lines are processed in a variety of ways. In general, there will be problems with the tool sleeve in the process, which may scratch the lines (that is, when changing the tool, the tool sleeve plays the role of installation, and there is an error when changing). The reason is that the traditional tool sleeve has an error in controlling the depth, which will cause the tool sleeve to scratch the surface of the workpiece due to the process. Some shallower or complex lines cannot be matched. In this case, the process does not require the tool sleeve to be set, that is, the large surface and the grooves are processed in the same project, so the relative positions of the two tool processing can be controlled by the programming center to complete the two steps of processing.

[0032] In S2, the multi-axis mobile frame drives the fixture to translate or rotate, thereby obtaining the peripheral surface data information of the product, converting the three-dimensional data into plane data, and sending the processing data to the programming center to obtain the specific tool position and the rotation data of the multi-axis mobile frame;

[0033] The plane data include three plane data: X-axis Y-axis, X-axis Z-axis and Y-axis Z-axis. Therefore, in actual processing, the cooperation of the multi-axis moving frame and the tool can achieve a more accurate tool path, thereby improving the processing accuracy.

[0034] In S3, the rotating spindle 201 rotates at a low speed, and its speed can be coordinated according to the actual tool feeding speed, and its speed can be moderate.

[0035] In S4, the rotating spindle 201 rotates at a high speed. When a precision engraving tool is used, a high speed can effectively ensure that the contact area between the tool head and the product is smaller, so the feed depth can be controlled more accurately, thereby ensuring the processing accuracy.

[0036] The linear groove forms a predetermined texture, and the minimum processing accuracy of the texture can reach 0.001MM.

[0037] The multi-axis moving frame includes a longitudinal moving frame 1 arranged on the base 101, a transverse moving frame arranged on the longitudinal moving frame 1, a horizontal axial rotating frame arranged on the transverse moving frame, and a vertical axial rotating frame arranged on the horizontal circumferential rotating frame, and the fixture is arranged on the vertical circumferential rotating frame.

[0038] Specifically, the longitudinal moving frame 1 includes a longitudinal guide rail 11 provided on the base 101, a longitudinal slider 12 provided on the longitudinal guide rail, and a longitudinal screw pair 13 for driving the longitudinal slider;

[0039] The transverse moving frame 2 includes a transverse guide rail 21 arranged on the longitudinal slider, a transverse slider arranged on the transverse guide rail 22 and a transverse screw pair 23 for driving the transverse screw pair.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, the horizontal axial rotating frame 3 includes a first rotating seat 31 provided on the transverse slider and a first rotating seat 32 pivotally mounted on the first rotating seat, the first rotating seat is provided with a first pivot hole in the horizontal direction, the first rotating seat is pivotally mounted on the first pivot hole, and the first rotating seat is provided with a first servo rotating motor 33 that drives the first rotating shaft to rotate;

[0041] The first rotating seat extends forward with a second rotating seat 41, the second rotating seat is provided with a second pivot hole arranged vertically, the vertical axial rotating frame includes a second rotating seat 42 pivotally mounted on the second pivot hole and a second servo rotating motor 43 arranged on the second rotating seat, and the fixture is arranged on the second rotating seat.

[0042] The use of a servo motor can accurately control the rotation angle of the fixture, thereby processing a predetermined curvature on the striking surface and processing grooves and lines of predetermined curvature, realizing multi-degree-of-freedom processing.

[0043] Specifically, the vertical moving frame includes a vertical guide rail 41 disposed on the vertical seat 102 , a vertical slider 42 slidably mounted on the vertical guide rail, and a vertical screw pair 43 for driving the vertical slider, thereby achieving precise displacement of the rotating spindle 201 .

[0044] There is at least one milling cutter tool and at least one fine carving cutter tool.

[0045] For some products with higher requirements, the corresponding processing requirements can only be achieved through the use of multiple tools, but compared with the existing ones, it can reduce the problem of secondary alignment.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
