Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical processing equipment, in particular to a mechanical processing workstation. Background Art

[0002] Machining involves the use of mechanical equipment to change the size or performance of a workpiece. This process can be achieved through cutting or pressure processing. Machining can be divided into two methods: manual processing and automated processing. Manual processing is slow and suitable for small batches and simple parts production. Automated processing is fast and accurate, and is suitable for large batches, high precision, and complex parts production. Therefore, the current product processing production line mainly adopts automated processing methods. The working efficiency of this processing method is highly dependent on the conveyor line. When the conveyor line used for transportation fails or other reasons and the workpiece cannot reach the processing station, the entire processing work will be interrupted. Utility Model Content

[0016] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the positional relationship between the hot air blower and the cleaning tank in a mechanical processing workstation proposed by the utility model;

[0017] Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of the cache in a mechanical processing workstation proposed by the utility model when workpieces are stored. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] Reference Figure 1 The utility model proposes a mechanical processing workstation, comprising: a workbench, a studio 1, an industrial robot 2, and a conveyor line 3 for conveying workpieces, wherein:

[0019] The workbench is arranged in the studio 1. The studio 1 and the industrial robot 2 are arranged on the same side of the conveyor line 3 and are arranged side by side along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 3. The studio 1 is provided with an automatic opening and closing door on the side close to the industrial robot 2 so that the mechanical arm of the industrial robot 2 can extend into the studio 1 to carry out the operation of picking and placing parts. A cache 4 is arranged within the range of the industrial robot 2, and the cache includes a plurality of storage plates 41 arranged in layers along the height direction.

[0020] During operation: a certain number of workpieces to be processed are stored in the buffer 4 in advance; under normal working conditions, the conveyor line 3 conveys the workpieces to be processed to the location of the industrial robot 2, and the industrial robot 2 grabs the workpieces on the conveyor line 3 and transfers them to the workbench for mechanical processing; when the workpieces are processed, the industrial robot 2 transfers the processed workpieces to the conveyor line 3, so that the conveyor line 3 can transport them to the next workstation. When the conveyor line 3 fails or other reasons prevent the workpieces from being transported to the processing area in time, the industrial robot 2 grabs the workpieces from the buffer 4 to replace the workpieces that are interrupted by the conveyor line 3, thereby ensuring the continuity of the processing work and avoiding processing interruptions.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, a cleaning tank 5 is also provided within the range of the industrial robot 2 so as to use the cleaning tank 5 to clean the processed workpiece to remove waste chips on the surface of the workpiece.

[0022] Furthermore, a hot air blower 6 is provided above one side of the cleaning tank 5 , and when the workpiece is taken out of the cleaning tank 5 , it passes through the hot air blower 6 to be dried by the hot air blower 6 .

[0023] In a further embodiment, the buffer storehouse 4 and the cleaning tank 5 are arranged side by side on a side of the industrial robot 2 away from the conveyor line 3 , and the industrial robot 2 can grab the workpieces on the conveyor line 3 and the buffer storehouse 4 by turning left or right.

[0024] Furthermore, the industrial robot 2 is located on the midline of the line connecting the buffer 4 and the conveyor line 3. When the industrial robot 2 rotates left and right to grab the workpieces on the conveyor line 3 and the buffer 4, there is no need to adjust the telescopic length of the robot arm, thereby saving adjustment time.

[0025] Reference Figure 3, the storage plate 41 is provided with multiple installation areas, each installation area is provided with a detachable placement block 411, and each placement block 411 can match any installation area, and each placement block 411 is provided with a placement slot matching a specific category of parts. When in use: the placement slots on each placement block 411 are used to place products of a specified category. Due to this one-to-one matching feature, the problem of misplacing parts can be effectively prevented, and students can be guided to develop the habit of returning parts to their proper places to the greatest extent. Each placement block 411 can be individually disassembled and assembled, and can be assembled in any installation area, so that the cache library 4 can adjust the number of corresponding placement blocks 411 according to the change of the number of corresponding part categories, such as: when the number of required A-type parts is 3 pieces and the number of B-type parts is 1 piece, 3 placement blocks 411 matching A-type parts and 1 placement block 411 matching B-type parts can be installed; conversely, when the number of required A-type parts is 1 piece and the number of B-type parts is 3 pieces, 2 placement blocks 411 matching A-type parts can be removed and 2 placement blocks 411 matching B-type parts can be installed in the installation area. The design of this structure can effectively improve the utilization rate of resources and avoid the waste of resources.

[0026] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the storage plate 41 to form an installation area, and the placement block 411 is located in the groove and connected to the storage plate 41 through a threaded fastener. The design of providing a groove on the storage plate 41 to form an installation area can facilitate the placement block 411 to quickly find the installation position, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the placement block 411.

[0027] Furthermore, the placement block 411 is higher than the groove to facilitate taking the placement block 411 out of the groove.

[0028] In a further embodiment, the cache library also includes a support frame, and the storage plate 41 is installed on the support frame by threaded fasteners, so that the entire storage plate 41 can be removed from the support frame, so that when parts need to be replaced in batches, the corresponding storage plate 41 can be directly replaced.

[0029] In a further embodiment, a sensor 7 for detecting whether a workpiece is stored in the placement groove is provided on one side of the placement block 411 .

[0030] As can be seen from the above, the conveyor line 3 in the utility model is used to convey the workpiece to the processing area where the industrial robot 2 is located, and to convey the processed workpiece to the next station; the industrial robot 2 is used to transfer the workpiece on the conveyor line 3 to the workbench for processing, and to transfer the processed workpiece back to the conveyor line 3; the processing room is used to form a space separated from the outside world on the periphery of the processing table to ensure the cleanliness of the workshop environment; the cache 4 is used to place the replacement workpiece. When the conveyor line 3 fails or other reasons cannot convey the workpiece to the processing area in time, the industrial robot 2 grabs the workpiece from the cache 4 to ensure the continuity of the processing work and avoid processing interruption. The structural design of the workstation can greatly improve the working environment, ensure the continuity of the processing work, avoid the problem of processing interruption, and is conducive to improving the processing efficiency.
