Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of polishing devices, and in particular to an automatic lifting and polishing device for radiators. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the ends of radiators need to be polished during the manufacturing process to ensure smooth subsequent assembly and sealing after assembly. The traditional polishing method mainly relies on manual operation. When operating the polishing equipment, workers need to constantly adjust the polishing angle and strength to ensure that the ends of the radiators are polished evenly. However, this method has many shortcomings.

[0003] First, manual polishing is inefficient. Workers need to manually adjust the polishing equipment, and the polishing process of each radiator takes a long time, resulting in low overall production efficiency. Secondly, manual operation is dangerous. During the polishing process, workers need to come into close contact with the polishing equipment, and personal injury may occur if the operation is not careful. In addition, the quality of manual polishing is difficult to guarantee. The operating level and experience of different workers vary greatly, and even the same worker's operation at different times will be different, resulting in inconsistent polishing results.

[0004] In order to overcome these problems, some automated grinding equipment came into being. These devices can improve the grinding efficiency and quality to a certain extent through programming control. However, the existing automated grinding equipment still has some shortcomings. First, these devices are usually complex in design and have high manufacturing costs, making them difficult to popularize in small and medium-sized enterprises. Secondly, during the grinding process, the existing automated equipment is often not precise enough in positioning and fixing the radiator, resulting in uneven grinding effects. In addition, the existing automated grinding equipment has poor flexibility when handling radiators of different sizes and shapes, and requires frequent equipment adjustments, further reducing production efficiency.

[0005] The main reasons for the above shortcomings are as follows. First, most of the existing automated grinding equipment adopts mechanical positioning and fixing methods, which makes it difficult to achieve high-precision positioning and fixing, resulting in unsatisfactory grinding effects. Secondly, the design of the equipment is too complicated, resulting in high manufacturing and maintenance costs, which makes many companies discouraged. In addition, the existing equipment lacks sufficient flexibility and adaptability when handling radiators of different sizes and shapes, and requires frequent adjustments, which increases the difficulty of operation and time cost.

[0006] In short, the existing radiator end grinding equipment has many deficiencies in efficiency, safety, quality and flexibility, and it is difficult to meet the needs of modern manufacturing. In view of these problems, a new device that can automatically, accurately and efficiently grind the radiator end is urgently needed to improve production efficiency and product quality and reduce production costs.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application discloses an automatic lifting and polishing device for radiators, comprising a machine platform, two working modules relatively mounted on the machine platform through guide rails, and a controller for controlling the synchronous operation of the two working modules, wherein at least one working module can adjust the spacing distance between the two working modules along the guide rails to suit radiators of different sizes; the two working modules work synchronously, and the working modules include a frame, a feeding mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a polishing mechanism arranged in the frame, and the two lifting mechanisms in the two working modules cooperate to clamp the radiator on the feeding mechanism from both ends and lift it; the polishing mechanism completes the polishing of the lifted radiator, and at the same time, the two lifting mechanisms cooperate to control the rotation of the radiator to adjust the polished area of ​​the radiator; the lifting mechanism has a rotating clamp, and a lifting drive mechanism for driving the rotating clamp to vertically lift and rotate; the polishing mechanism has a polishing channel, and the polishing channel is composed of two grinding belts that are relatively and spaced together; the grinding belt is driven to move by the driving mechanism to complete the polishing work.

[0009] In some embodiments, the grinding channel is tapered, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom; the lifting mechanism controls the lifting height according to the size of the radiator to adjust the grinding contact and grinding pressure between the radiator and the grinding belt.

When working, the cylinder pushes the inclined guide plate to move so that one end of the guide plate is higher than the upper surface of the conveyor belt. When the lifting mechanism moves downward, the radiator slides from entering the inclined guide plate to the discharging end.

[0011] In some embodiments, the grinding device includes a large wheel and a small wheel arranged vertically, a grinding belt is sleeved between the large wheel and the small wheel, and the large wheel / small wheel is a driving wheel driven by a motor.

For the sake of brevity and / or clarity, the techniques, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant fields may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification.

[0032] The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the specification include plural forms unless clearly indicated. The terms "include", "comprise" and "contain" used in the specification indicate the presence of the claimed features, but do not exclude the presence of one or more other features. The term "and / or" used in the specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items. Example

[0033] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment discloses an exemplary structure of a radiator automatic lifting and polishing device. In terms of structural composition, the polishing device includes a machine platform ( Figure 1The radiator end is polished to the overall quality and use effect of the radiator. If the end of the radiator is not polished sufficiently, burrs and rough surfaces will occur, which will not only affect the appearance, but also the installation and service life of the radiator. By precisely controlling the lifting mechanism and the polishing mechanism, the end of the radiator can be polished evenly and smoothly, thereby improving the overall quality and service life of the radiator.

[0034] As a design requirement for automated production, the present embodiment also includes a feed conveyor belt 4 and a discharge conveyor belt 5 located on the feed side and the discharge side of the working module 2. The radiator is fed in from the feed conveyor belt 4 and discharged from the discharge conveyor belt 5.

[0035] In terms of specific structure, each working module 2 includes a frame 201, a feeding mechanism 202, a lifting mechanism 203 and a grinding mechanism 204 arranged in the frame 201. Two working modules 2 are connected to the machine platform through a guide rail 1. The design of the guide rail 1 allows the relative spacing of the working modules 2 to be adjusted to accommodate radiators of different sizes.

[0036] It is understandable that the radiator is first fed into the device through the feed conveyor belt 4. The feed conveyor belt 4 transports the radiator to the position of the feed mechanism 202, ensuring that the radiator enters the working area between the two working modules 2. After completing the lifting, grinding and other processing steps in the working module 2, the processed radiator is transported out of the device to the discharge belt 5, completing the entire automated processing process.

[0037] The synchronous operation of the feeding conveyor belt 4 and the discharging conveyor belt 5 ensures that the radiator can be fed and discharged continuously, thus ensuring the improvement of production efficiency and the automation of operation. This design not only improves the efficiency and quality of radiator processing, but also reduces the need for manual intervention, and meets the requirements of modern industrial production.

[0038] It should be understood that the spacing adjustment method of the two working modules 2 includes manual adjustment and automatic adjustment. This design ensures that the device can flexibly adapt to radiators of different specifications. In most cases, the mechanism for adjusting the spacing is manual, and a screw drive mechanism is used to achieve precise adjustment, and then fixed after adjustment to meet the needs of subsequent work.

[0039] In this embodiment, the structure and working principle of the feeding mechanism 202 are further described as follows: The feeding mechanism 202 includes a horizontally arranged conveyor belt 2001 , a pushing unit 2003 arranged near the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2001 , and a discharging unit 2004 arranged near the discharging end of the conveyor belt 2001 .

[0040] Among them, the pushing unit 2003 is composed of a cylinder and a push rod driven by the cylinder to be retracted, and the push rod pushes the radiator from the feeding conveyor belt 4 into the conveyor belt group composed of the two feeding mechanisms 202.

[0041] The material discharging unit 2004 includes an inclined material guide plate and a cylinder driving the inclined material guide plate to move in an oblique direction. The inclined material guide plate is aligned with the lifting mechanism 203, and the cylinder drives the inclined material guide plate to move, so that one end of the material guide plate is higher than the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2002, and the radiator slides to the discharge end.

[0042] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 203 includes a rotating jaw 2005 and a lifting driving mechanism 2006 for driving the rotating jaw 2005 to vertically lift and lower. More specifically, the lifting driving mechanism 2006 is composed of a vertical guide rail, a slider, and a driving mechanism for driving the slider to move along the vertical guide rail.

[0043] The rotating jaw 2005 is mounted on the slider. Specifically, the rotating jaw 2005 includes a retractable jaw, and a rubber pad is provided on the inner surface of the jaw to increase friction and protect the surface of the radiator. The jaw is connected to the rotating shaft through a connecting rod mechanism, and the rotating shaft is driven by a motor to rotate the jaw around the axis, thereby clamping the end of the radiator.

[0044] In this embodiment, grinding is completed by a grinding mechanism 204, which has a grinding channel 2007. The grinding channel 2007 is composed of two grinding belts 2008 that are opposite and spaced apart. The grinding belt 2008 is sleeved between the large wheel and the small wheel, wherein one of the large wheel and the small wheel serves as a driving wheel driven by a motor, and the other serves as a driven wheel.

[0045] In this embodiment, the grinding channel 2007 is designed to be tapered, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

[0046] In order to adjust the width of the grinding channel 2007, two horizontal pneumatic telescopic rods 2009 are arranged between the two grinding belts 2008. The two pneumatic telescopic rods 2009 are respectively installed on both sides of the grinding mechanism 204, and the width of the grinding channel 2007 is adjusted by controlling the relative position of the grinding belts 2008.

[0047] Specifically, one end of the pneumatic telescopic rod 2009 is fixed to a fixed frame of a grinding belt 2008, and the other end is connected to a fixed frame of another grinding belt 2008. The top ends of the fixed frames of the two grinding belts 2008 are hinged on the frame 201, and the pneumatic telescopic rod 2009 can be telescopically moved under the control of the controller 3, thereby changing the distance between the two grinding belts 2008. By adjusting the telescopic length of the pneumatic telescopic rod 2009, the grinding channel width 2007 can be accurately adjusted to adapt to radiators of different sizes.

[0048] It is understandable that during operation, the controller 3 sends instructions according to the specifications and sizes of the radiator to control the telescopic action of the pneumatic telescopic rod 2009. The pneumatic telescopic rod 2009 is controlled by the instructions of the controller 3 to coordinate the relative positions of the two grinding belts 2008 so that the width of the grinding channel 2007 can be flexibly adjusted. This design not only ensures that the grinding belt 2008 evenly grinds the surface of the radiator, but also can adapt to radiators of different specifications, thereby improving the grinding effect and efficiency.

[0049] More specifically, in this embodiment, one of the large wheel and the small wheel is a floating wheel, which can adjust the tension of the sanding belt 2008 to ensure the stability of the sanding effect. During the sanding process, the sanding belt 2008 moves at a high speed, driving the radiator surface to rub against the sanding belt 2008 to complete the sanding work.

[0050] The lifting mechanism 203 controls the lifting height according to the size of the radiator to adjust the grinding contact and grinding pressure between the radiator and the grinding belt 2008.

[0051] In order to realize the synchronous operation of the whole system, the mechanisms of the two working modules 2 work synchronously under the control of the controller 3. That is, at the same time, the lifting mechanism 203, the grinding mechanism 204 and the feeding mechanism 202 in the two working modules 2 operate synchronously to ensure the continuity of the radiator during the process of entering, processing and discharging.

[0052] It can be understood that in the two working modules 2, the pusher unit 2003 and the discharger unit 2004 also work synchronously. When the pusher unit 2003 pushes the radiator from the feed conveyor belt 4 into the conveyor belt group, the inclined guide plate of the discharger unit 2004 moves synchronously under the drive of the cylinder, ready to guide the processed radiator to the discharge conveyor belt 5, realizing the fully automated operation of the radiator from feeding to processing and then to discharging.

[0053] As a further description of the grinding process, when working, the radiator is first fed into the device through the feed conveyor belt 4, and the feed conveyor belt 4 is pulled by the push unit 2003 to the conveyor belt 2002. When the radiator enters the working area, the lifting mechanisms 203 in the two working modules 2 start to work synchronously under the control of the controller 3. The rotating jaws 2005 of the lifting mechanism 203 clamp the two ends of the radiator, and the driving mechanism drives the slider to move along the vertical guide rail, driving the rotating jaws 2005 to rise and fall vertically, and lifting the radiator to a suitable position of the grinding channel 2007.

[0054] The grinding belt 2008 of the grinding mechanism 204 moves at high speed, and the grinding belt 2008 contacts the surface of the radiator, and the grinding process is completed through friction. During the grinding process, the lifting mechanism 203 cooperates to control the rotation of the radiator to adjust the area to be polished to ensure that the surface of the radiator is evenly polished. The rotating jaw 2005 rotates through the driving mechanism to drive the radiator to rotate.

[0055] After polishing is completed, the lifting mechanism 203 lowers the radiator to the position of the discharge unit 2004. The inclined guide plate of the discharge unit 2004 moves obliquely under the drive of the cylinder, so that one end of the guide plate is higher than the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2002. The radiator slides to the discharge end and is sent out through the discharge conveyor belt 5.

[0056] Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure in essence. Therefore, all changes and modifications are included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure as defined by the claims.
