DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific examples and accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, an automatic loading and unloading device of a metal shell tapping, inspection and polishing machine includes a loading device 3 and a unloading device 7 arranged on the periphery of a turntable 2 on a frame 1; 16 workpiece holders 21 are evenly arranged on the upper surface of the turntable 2 rotating in a horizontal plane near the inner side of the outer edge; a tapping device 4, an inspection device 5 and three polishing devices 6 (one for rough polishing, one for medium polishing and one for fine polishing) are arranged on the frame 1 between the loading device 3 and the unloading device 7 in the rotation direction of the turntable 2. The feeding device 3 includes a storage trough 31, which includes a vertical cavity at the top for stacking and storing workpieces 8 in the up-and-down direction, and a transverse cavity at the bottom. The telescopic end of the circumferential pushing cylinder 32 that moves along the circumferential direction of the turntable 2 is connected to a circumferential pushing block 33. The circumferential pushing block 33 moves in the transverse cavity of the storage trough 31 to push the workpiece 8 dropped in the vertical cavity to the other side. A positioning rod 34 for positioning the position of the workpiece 8 is provided on the other side of the transverse cavity of the storage trough 31. The radial pushing cylinder 35 that moves along the radial direction of the turntable 2 pushes the workpiece 8 horizontally into the workpiece holder 21. The vertical cavity at the top of the storage trough 31 is a detachable structure, and the internal shape of the vertical cavity matches the shape of the workpiece 8 to be loaded, so that the workpiece 8 can fall smoothly and orderly. The positioning rod 34 is connected to the support plate of the feeding device 3 by a thread, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the positioning position of the positioning rod 34. For the replacement of workpieces 8 of different sizes, the positioning position is adjusted accordingly. The unloading device 7 includes an unloading cylinder 72, which is mounted on the upper part of a vertical plate 71 fixed to the frame 1 and is higher than the upper surface of the turntable 2. The other end of the telescopic rod 73 connected to the unloading cylinder 72 is connected to a clamping plate 74. An L-shaped rod 75 is installed in the lower notch of the clamping plate 74. The L-shaped rod 75 moves back and forth along the radial direction of the turntable 2 under the drive of the unloading cylinder 72. The free end of the L-shaped rod 75 is opposite to the rotation direction of the turntable 2. A unloading trough 76 is provided below the clamping plate 74. The clamping plate 74 is connected to the telescopic rod 73 by bolts, and the connection position can be adjusted up and down. The pitch angle of the L-shaped rod 75 in the lower notch of the clamping plate 74 is adjustable.

[0018] The automatic loading and unloading device of the metal shell tapping, inspection and polishing machine designed by the utility model, before working, first adjust the position of the positioning rod 34 of the loading device 3, and the stroke of the circumferential pushing cylinder 32 and the radial pushing cylinder 35 according to the size of the workpiece 8, so that the workpiece 8 can be smoothly pushed to the predetermined position. Adjust the installation height of the clamping plate 74, the pitch angle of the L-shaped rod 75, and the unloading cylinder 72, so that the free end of the L-shaped rod 75 can face the rotating workpiece holder 21 and extend into the gap between the workpiece holder 21 and the inner side of the workpiece 8. During operation, the turntable 2 of the metal shell tapping, inspection and polishing machine rotates intermittently. When the turntable 2 is paused, time is left for each processing station to work simultaneously. When the turntable 2 rotates, the workpiece 8 is transferred to the next processing station. When the turntable 2 is paused, the storage trough 31 of the loading device 3 stores the workpiece 8 in the vertical cavity. The last workpiece 8 is pushed toward the positioning rod 34 along the lower horizontal cavity by the telescopic end of the circumferential pushing cylinder 32 connected to the circumferential pushing block 33. The workpiece 8 sandwiched between the circumferential pushing block 33 and the positioning rod 34 is then horizontally pushed into the workpiece holder 21 by the radial pushing cylinder 35 that moves along the radial direction of the turntable 2. Then, the radial pushing cylinder 35 and the circumferential pushing cylinder 32 retract. After the circumferential pushing cylinder 32 drives the circumferential pushing block 33 to retract, a workpiece 8 falls into the vertical cavity of the storage trough 31 for storing the workpiece 8 due to the action of gravity. In this way, the material is continuously and automatically loaded. When the vertical cavity of the storage trough 31 is insufficient to store the workpiece 8, the workpiece 8 can be introduced from above at any time. In this way, the material can be replenished in time, and the loading device 3 can automatically load the material uninterruptedly.

[0019] As for the unloading device 7, before the turntable 2 stops (the turntable 2 has not stopped rotating), the unloading cylinder 72 drives the L-shaped rod 75 to move into the turntable 2, and stops after reaching the extension stroke of the unloading cylinder 72. The free end of the L-shaped rod 75 faces the rotating workpiece holder 21 and extends into the gap between the workpiece holder 21 and the inner side of the workpiece 8. After the turntable 2 stops rotating, the unloading cylinder 72 retracts, and the L-shaped rod 75 pulls the workpiece 8 outward, and the workpiece 8 falls into the unloading trough 76. The unloading device 7 repeats this process to complete automatic unloading. By adjusting the connection position of the clamping plate 74 and the telescopic rod 73, and the pitch angle of the L-shaped rod 75 at the lower notch of the clamping plate 74, the unloading device 7 can make the L-shaped rod 75 smoothly hook out the workpiece 8 at the appropriate position for workpieces 8 of different external dimensions.

[0020] The above embodiments are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention and are only used to explain the present invention rather than to limit the present invention. Any changes, substitutions, combinations, simplifications, modifications, etc. made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be considered as equivalent replacement modes and shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
