Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tool laser engraving, and relates to a tool laser engraving transfer mechanism and a transcoding device thereof. Background Art

[0002] For example, Chinese patent literature discloses a fixture for modifying automatic laser engraving equipment [202223317233.3]. The fixture has a mounting slot at the bottom, and the inner cavity of the mounting slot is embedded with an adsorption magnet. This fixture has a mounting slot on the back for mounting the adsorption magnet. When the grinding head is placed on the fixture, it is attracted by the magnetic force of the adsorption magnet and adheres to the fixture, preventing it from shaking during marking. The hollow structure in the center of the fixture reduces its weight, and the V-shaped groove design ensures rapid positioning. Using this fixture for production allows for quick and easy loading and unloading of grinding heads, significantly reducing operator complexity. This allows for batch marking of grinding heads, improving workshop production capacity and shipping efficiency.

[0003] The defect of the above technical solution is that the above fixture cannot be used to clamp and then perform laser engraving operations on fine-diameter tools. They need to be separately grasped and laser engraved during the rotation process. The tool is clamped under the fixture and is not released, which can easily touch and damage the clamping tool head and adjacent tool heads. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tool laser engraving transfer mechanism and a transcoding device thereof in order to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

The cutting tools are inserted into the positioning holes and the upper ends of the cutting tools protrude from the uppermost end surface of the material storage platform. The height of the cutting tools protruding from the uppermost end surface of the material storage platform is arranged in a stepped manner along the width direction of the material storage platform.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a tool laser engraving transfer mechanism and its transcoding device provided by the present invention. The tool laser engraving transfer mechanism includes: a material placement table 10 for storing tools, a multi-axis robot 20 arranged on one side of the material placement table 10, a laser engraving position clamp 42, a laser engraving machine 50, and a visual camera 60. It is conceivable that the tool laser engraving transfer mechanism also includes other functional components and specific structures, such as electrical connection components, control components, and mounting structures. These are all technologies well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] The tool is of existing technology, and the main body is a cylindrical structure with a cutter head arranged at one end.

[0027] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The material placement table 10 is installed on a machine or equipment platform. The material placement table 10 is used to store cutting tools. Specifically, at least two vertically spaced material placement plates 11 are provided at the upper end of the material placement table 10. In this embodiment, three material placement plates 11 are used as an example. Columns are provided between the material placement plates 11 to maintain vertical connection. The material placement plates 11 are rectangular, and the columns are provided at the corners of the material placement plates 11. The material placement plates 11 are provided with a plurality of groups of positioning holes 12 that continuously pass vertically and are arranged horizontally at intervals along the material placement table 10. The outer diameter of the cutting tool is close to the inner diameter of the positioning holes 12. The material placement table 10 provides support for the bottommost material placement plate 11. The cutting tool is inserted into the positioning hole 12. The multiple positioning holes 12 on the material placement plate 11 provide a positioning fulcrum for the cutting tool, ensuring that the cutting tool is positioned and maintained upright on the material placement table 10. The upper end of the tool protrudes from the uppermost end surface of the material placement table 10, and the protruding tool part is the clamping end of the tool. The height of the tool protruding from the uppermost end surface of the material placement table 10 is arranged in a stepped manner along the width direction of the material placement table 10. In this embodiment, the tools are arranged in a stepped manner along the width of the material placement table 10 according to their own height difference, that is, the height of each row of tools on the material placement table 10 is different, which makes it convenient for the multi-axis manipulator 20 to horizontally approach the cylindrical part of the tool for clamping, replacing the previous method of approaching the tool vertically, thereby improving the clamping efficiency and avoiding damage to the tool head by contact.

[0028] In this embodiment, there are two loading platforms 10, one for loading and unloading tools.

[0029] See also Figure 4 In other embodiments, when the tools are relatively close in height, a horizontally positioned closing plate 13 can be inserted into the lower end of the loading plate 11. A positioning structure is provided at the bottom of the loading plate 11 for the closing plate 13 to be positioned. This closing plate 13 closes the single row of positioning holes 12 on the loading plate 11, forcing the tools to be placed on the loading platform 10 to descend in a stepped arrangement. This also facilitates the multi-axis manipulator 20 to horizontally approach the tools for gripping.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 A multi-axis manipulator 20 is mounted on one side of the loading platform 10. This conventional multi-axis manipulator 20 is capable of universal rotation. A gripping finger 21 is provided at the output end of the multi-axis manipulator 20. The gripping finger 21 is connected to a drive cylinder for adjusting the gripping spacing of the gripping finger 21, thereby enabling the tool to be gripped and placed. One of the gripping fingers 21 has an inwardly recessed positioning groove 22 on its inner wall. The positioning groove 22 is V-shaped and can fit onto the cylindrical surface of the tool. The other gripping finger 21 has a serrated gripping surface 23 on its inner wall near the positioning groove 22. The serrated gripping surface 23 grips the other side of the tool, preventing the tool from rotating or releasing.

[0031] The outer diameter of the connection end between the clamping finger 21 and the multi-axis manipulator 20 gradually decreases toward the outside, and a yielding arc surface 24 is provided on the outside of the clamping finger 21 to ensure the connection strength and clamping strength of the clamping finger 21, reduce the size of the outside of the clamping finger 21, and avoid the problem of the adjacent tool being touched by the tool.

[0032] A tool sensor 30 is also provided on one side of the loading platform 10. The tool sensor 30 is an infrared sensor. When the multi-axis manipulator 20 clamps a tool, the tool sensor 30 needs to identify whether there is a tool on the multi-axis manipulator 20 so as to proceed to the next step.

[0033] See also Figure 6 A three-axis displacement platform 40 is also installed on one side of the loading platform 10. The three-axis displacement platform 40 is a combined drive structure that can linearly move in the X, Y, and Z directions. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. A rotary motor 41 is installed on the three-axis displacement platform 40, and a laser engraving clamp 42 is installed at the output end of the rotary motor 41. The multi-axis robot 20 transfers the tool to the laser engraving clamp 42. The inner wall of the laser engraving clamp 42 has an arc-shaped clamping notch that fits the outer wall of the tool. The rotary motor 41 is used to control the rotation of the tool, facilitating circumferential rotation during the laser engraving process.

[0034] See also Figure 1 Two laser engraving machines 50 are installed on one side of the three-axis displacement platform 40. The output ends of the two laser engraving machines 50 are respectively located above and on one side of the laser engraving clamp 42. The two laser engraving machines 50 respectively laser engrave the end of the tool and the circumferential outer wall of the tool. In this embodiment, the laser engraving machines 50 laser engrave the material QR code and material number on the tool.

[0035] A visual camera 60 is provided on one side of the laser engraving machine 50. The visual camera 60 is used to identify the material QR code and bind the material QR code to the material number for easy traceability in the future.

[0036] Example 2: The present invention also provides a transcoding device having the above-mentioned tool laser engraving transfer mechanism. Except for the tool laser engraving transfer mechanism, other components are existing technologies or commercially available parts.

[0037] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Persons skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
