[0017] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0018] As Figures 1-3 shown, an automatic grinding production line includes a bottom grinding machine 1, an ear grinding machine 2 and a body grinding machine 3 which are distributed in sequence from left to right, and three groups of loading and unloading handling robotic arms 4 respectively arranged on the front sides of the bottom grinding machine 1, the ear grinding machine 2 and the body grinding machine 3; it also includes a feeding module 5; the feeding module 5 includes a set of feeding mechanism 51, three groups of feeding mechanisms 52 and a set of discharging and collecting mechanism 53 which are arranged from left to right, and a conveyor belt device 54 which is horizontally arranged on the front sides of the feeding mechanism 51, the feeding mechanisms 52 and the discharging and collecting mechanism 53; the three groups of feeding mechanisms 52 are respectively located in front of the three groups of loading and unloading handling robotic arms 4; the feeding mechanism 51, the feeding mechanisms 52 and the discharging and collecting mechanism 53 all include a chassis 6 with the same structure and a tray lifting and buffering device 7 and a tray handling manipulator 8 installed on the chassis 6; a tray positioning seat 61 is arranged on the chassis 6 corresponding to the rear side of the tray lifting and buffering device 7 and a workpiece transfer positioning seat 62 is arranged behind the tray positioning seat 61; the tray handling manipulator 8 includes a Y-axis driving device 81, a Z-axis driving device 82, a tray clamping device 83 and a tray limiting device 84; the Y-axis driving device 81 is located beside the tray positioning seat 61 and the tray lifting and buffering device 7 and its front end extends above the conveyor belt device 54; the Z-axis driving device 82 is installed at the power output end of the Y-axis driving device 81; the tray clamping device 83 is installed at the power output end of the Z-axis driving device 82; the tray limiting device 84 is fixed at the front part of the Y-axis driving device 81 and is used for limiting the tray on the conveyor belt device 54; a workpiece transfer handling robotic arm 9 is further included on the feeding mechanism 52; the workpiece transfer handling robotic arm 9 is installed on the chassis 6 and is arranged behind the tray handling manipulator 8.

[0019] In the feeding mechanism 51: the workpieces to be processed are placed in trays, the trays are stacked on the tray lifting and buffering device 7 of the feeding mechanism 51, and the trays are transported to the conveyor belt device 54 by the tray handling manipulator 8.

[0020] In the conveyor belt device 54: the conveyor belt device 54 is used to control the trays to be transported from left to right, and the trays pass through the three groups of feeding mechanisms 52 and the discharging and collecting mechanism 53 in sequence.

[0021] In the feeding mechanism 52: The feeding mechanism 52 positions the trays on the conveyor belt device 54 through the tray limiting device 84, then clamps the trays through the tray clamping device 83 and places them in the tray positioning seat 61 for positioning. The workpiece transfer handling robot arm 9 takes out the workpieces in the trays and places them on the workpiece transfer positioning seat 62, waiting for the loading and unloading handling robot arm 4 to pick up the workpieces. Among the three groups of feeding mechanisms 52, the tray lifting buffer device 7 is used to buffer the trays waiting for processing. When the conveyor belt device 54 supplies the trays from the previous process, and the workpieces on the trays on the tray positioning seat 61 in the feeding mechanism 52 of this process have not all been processed, the tray clamping device 83 first transports the trays to the tray lifting buffer device 7 for buffering and standby, avoiding setting too long waiting time and improving production efficiency.

The workpiece loading clamping device 42 picks up the workpieces from the workpiece transfer positioning seat 62 and places them in the corresponding grinding machines for loading. The workpiece loading clamping device 42 clamps the processed workpieces from the grinding machines and places them in the trays on the tray positioning seat 61 for unloading.
