The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 The embodiment of the present utility model provides a U-shaped bend pipe grinding device, comprising:
[0041] A rotating arm 1, one end of which is rotatably connected to a first shaft 11 via a bearing;
[0042] The first driving mechanism 2 is provided in the rotating arm 1 and is used to drive the first shaft 11 to rotate;
[0043] The transmission mechanism 3 is provided at one end of the rotating arm 1 with the first shaft 11 and is in transmission connection with the first shaft 11. The transmission mechanism 3 is provided with a second shaft 31 parallel to the first shaft 11;
[0044] The expansion clamp 4 is fixedly connected to the transmission mechanism 3 and is used to expand and clamp the U-shaped bend 6 through the two end holes 71;
[0045] The locking mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the transmission mechanism 3 and is used to lock the transmission mechanism 3 so that the expansion clamp 4 rotates about the first shaft 11 and unlock the transmission mechanism 3 so that the expansion clamp 4 rotates about the second shaft 31;
[0046] The second driving mechanism is provided at one end of the rotating arm 1 away from the first shaft 11 and is used to drive the rotating arm 1 to reciprocate within a range of 140°-160° around the X-axis, and the rotating arm 1 is parallel to the X-axis.
[0047] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the outer wall of the U-shaped bend 6 shown is being polished, the U-shaped bend 6 is first grabbed by a robot and moved to the expansion clamp 4, and the U-shaped bend 6 is expanded and clamped by the expansion clamp 4. At this time, polishing sandpaper belts are arranged on the inner and outer sides of the U-shaped bend 6, and the polishing sandpaper belts are driven to rotate to polish the U-shaped bend 6.
[0048] During initial grinding, the first small curved section 63 is located between the grinding sandpaper belts. At this time, the locking mechanism 5 is in the unlocked state. The first driving mechanism 2 drives the first shaft 11 to rotate, which is then driven by the transmission mechanism 3 to drive the expansion clamp 4 to rotate about the second shaft 31 as the axis, thereby driving the U-shaped bend 6 to rotate about the second shaft 31 as the axis. At this time, the U-shaped bend 6 rotates at a small radius through the two grinding sandpaper belts, meeting the grinding requirements of the first small curved section 63.
[0049] When the connection between the first small curved section 63 and the large curved section 62 rotates to the grinding sandpaper belt, the locking mechanism 5 locks the transmission mechanism 3. At this time, the first driving mechanism 2 drives the first shaft 11 to rotate, which is then driven by the transmission mechanism 3 to drive the expansion clamp 4 to rotate around the first shaft 11 as the axis, thereby driving the U-shaped bend 6 to rotate around the first shaft 11 as the axis; at this time, the U-shaped bend 6 rotates at a large radius through the two grinding sandpaper belts to meet the grinding requirements of the large curved section 62;
[0050] When the connection between the large bending section 62 and the second small bending section 64 is rotated to the grinding sandpaper belt, the locking mechanism 5 is unlocked, and the U-shaped bend 6 is rotated again with the second shaft 31 as the axis. The U-shaped bend 6 rotates with a small radius through the two grinding sandpaper belts to meet the grinding requirements of the second small bending section 64.
[0051] The grinding device of the present application can switch the rotation radius for grinding different parts of the U-shaped bend pipe 6, realizing automatic grinding with high grinding efficiency and good quality, thereby ensuring the processing quality of the U-shaped bend pipe 6.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first driving mechanism 2 includes a main synchronous pulley 21 arranged at one end of the rotating arm 1 and a slave synchronous pulley 22 arranged at the other end of the rotating arm 1. The slave synchronous pulley 22 is fixedly mounted on the first shaft 11 and is connected to the main synchronous pulley 21 through a synchronous belt 23. A servo motor 24 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the rotating arm 1 to drive the main synchronous pulley 21 to rotate.
[0053] In this embodiment, the servo motor 24 drives the main synchronous pulley 21 to rotate, and drives the slave synchronous pulley 22 to rotate through the synchronous belt 23, thereby realizing the driving of the first shaft 11 with high driving precision, ensuring the precise grinding of various parts of the U-shaped bend pipe 6.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the transmission mechanism 3 includes a first support plate 32 and a second support plate 33;
[0055] The first support plate 32 is disposed below the rotating arm 1, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first shaft 11 via a bearing, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the second shaft 31;
[0056] The second support plate 33 is arranged below the first support plate 32. One end of the second support plate is rotatably connected to the second shaft 31 through a bearing, and the other end is provided with a through slot 34. The bottom end of the first shaft 11 extends into the through slot 34 and is fixedly sleeved with a gear 35. An arc-shaped rack 36 is fixedly provided on the side of the through slot 34 away from the second shaft 31. The gear 35 is engaged with the rack 36, and the arc where the rack 36 is located is coaxial with the second shaft 31.
[0057] In this embodiment, when transmission is performed by the transmission mechanism 3, the locking mechanism 5 is in the unlocked state, the first driving mechanism 2 drives the gear 35 to rotate via the first shaft 11, and with the cooperation of the rack 36, the second support plate 33 rotates around the second shaft 31 as the axis, and the second support plate 4 drives the expansion clamp 6 to rotate, thereby driving the U-shaped bend 6 to rotate around the second shaft 31 as the axis;
[0058] The locking mechanism 5 locks the second support plate 33 with the first support plate 32. At this time, the gear 35 and the rack 36 cannot rotate relative to each other. The first shaft 11 drives the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 33 to rotate with the first shaft 11 as the axis at the same time, thereby driving the U-shaped bend 6 to rotate with the first shaft 11 as the axis; the switching of the grinding turning radius is realized through the transmission switching of the transmission mechanism 3, thereby meeting the requirements of automatic grinding processing of the U-shaped bend 6.
[0059] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the locking mechanism 5 includes a driving cylinder 51 fixedly arranged on one side of the first support plate 32, and a connecting seat 52 is fixedly provided at the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 51. The connecting seat 52 is rotatably connected to a positioning key 54 through a first pin shaft 53. The positioning key 54 is rotatably connected to the first pin shaft 53 through a long hole 55. The end of the positioning key 54 away from the first pin shaft 53 is fixedly connected to a clamping column 56. The positioning key 54 is located between the first pin shaft 53 and the clamping column 56 and is rotatably connected to the first support plate 32 through a second pin shaft 57. A clamping slot 37 is provided on one side of the second support plate 33 corresponding to the clamping column 56.
[0060] In this embodiment, the telescopic control of the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 51 can drive the positioning key 54 to rotate with the second pin shaft 57 as the axis, so that the clamping column 56 is embedded in the clamping groove 37 to lock the second support plate 33 and the first support plate 32, or the clamping column 56 is disengaged from the clamping groove 37 to release the lock of the second support plate 33 and the first support plate 32. The locking effect is good, ensuring the switching of the rotation radius during the grinding process of the U-shaped bend pipe 6, and meeting the grinding requirements of the U-shaped bend pipe 6.
[0061] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 3 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, the expansion clamp 4 includes a bracket 41, the top of the bracket 41 is fixedly connected to the transmission mechanism 3 at one end of the second shaft 31 away from the first shaft 11, and two groups of parallel expansion cylinders 42 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the bracket 41. The axes of the two groups of expansion cylinders 42 are perpendicular to the first shaft 11 and are located on the same plane as the X-axis. The telescopic ends of the expansion cylinders 42 are fixedly connected to the inner expansion core 43, and an expansion core sleeve 44 is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the inner expansion core 43 on the bracket 41. Outer expansion cores 45 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the inner expansion core 43 passing through the expansion core sleeve 44, and the outer expansion core 45 is fixedly connected to the expansion core sleeve 44 at one end close to the expansion core sleeve 44.
[0062] In this embodiment, the inner expansion core 43 is provided with an extrusion portion whose thickness gradually decreases as it moves away from the expansion cylinder 42. A matching extrusion slope is provided on the inner side of the outer expansion core 45. To securely clamp the U-bend 6, the robot first grasps the U-bend 6 and places its two end holes 71 over the outer expansion cores 45 of the two sets of expansion cylinders 42. The telescopic ends of the expansion cylinders 42 then extend, driving the inner expansion core 43 to squeeze the outer expansion core 45, causing it to expand outward. This expands and clamps the U-bend 6 securely, without affecting the polishing of the outer wall of the U-bend 6 and achieving an effective clamping effect.
[0063] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the second drive mechanism includes a turntable, the axis of which is located on the X axis, the rotating arm 1 is fixedly connected to the turntable near the edge, and a drive motor is provided on one side of the turntable to drive it to reciprocate within the range of 140°-160°
[0064] In this embodiment, the axis of the turntable is located on the X-axis, and the two sets of grinding sandpaper belts are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the X-axis. While the first driving mechanism 2 drives the U-shaped bend 6 to rotate, the driving motor drives the turntable to rotate, so that the part of the U-shaped bend 6 between the two sets of grinding sandpaper belts rotates around the X-axis, ensuring that the outer wall of the U-shaped bend 6 is fully polished.
[0065] Since sandpaper belts are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the U-bend 6, the portion of the U-bend 6 between the two sets of sandpaper belts can be fully sanded by rotating the portion of the U-bend 6 between the two sets of sandpaper belts about the X-axis within a range of 140°-160°. The sandpaper belts are flexible enough to wrap around a portion of the outer wall of the U-bend 6, so a portion of the U-bend 6 exceeding 180° can be sanded without rotating the sandpaper belts on one side 180°.

For example, "connect" can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediary.
