[0028] The utility model will be further described in connection with the embodiment shown in the drawings.

[0029] As Figure 1 As shown in the structural schematic view of the notebook computer shell peripheral surface polishing equipment of the utility model, the polishing equipment is used for automatically polishing the peripheral surface of the notebook computer shell to polish off burrs and other defects formed on the peripheral surface of the notebook computer shell in the injection molding process, and improve the yield of products.

[0030] The polishing equipment includes a support assembly, a polishing assembly, a sand-tearing assembly, and a sand-applying assembly. The support frame is welded from metal plates and fastened to a workshop machine with screws. The support assembly is fixed to the top of the support frame and is used to support the laptop case to be polished. The polishing assembly is fixed to the top of the support frame and located above the support assembly. It is used to polish the surface of the laptop case to remove burrs and other defects formed on the peripheral surface of the laptop case during the injection molding process, thereby improving the product yield.

[0031] The sand tearing assembly is fixed to one side of the bottom of the support frame. After the sanding assembly has been sanding for a certain period of time, the sandpaper attached to its surface needs to be replaced, otherwise it will affect the subsequent sanding efficiency and sanding accuracy. The sand tearing assembly is used to automatically tear off the old sandpaper attached to the sanding assembly.

[0032] The sanding assembly is fixed to the inner side of the support frame and is used to automatically apply new gauze paper to the sanding assembly. Therefore, through the cooperation of the sanding assembly and the sanding assembly, the sand can be automatically changed, which improves the efficiency of sandpaper replacement and saves costs.

[0033] like Figure 2 、 3 Figure 2 shows the structure of the support assembly, which is fixed to the top of the support frame and is used to support the laptop case to be polished. The support assembly includes a base 1, a carrier plate 2, a suction cup 3, a guide post 4, a lifting plate 5, a through slot 6, a first positioning plate 7, a second positioning plate 8, a lifting cylinder 9, and a product positioning plate 10. The base 1 is fixed to the top of the support frame, and the carrier plate 2 is fixed to the top of the base 1, which is used to support the laptop case to be polished.

[0034] Multiple suction cups 3 are mounted on top of the carrier plate 2. The base 1 is hollow and accommodates components such as the air pipes connected to the suction cups 3. The suction cups 3 on top of the carrier plate 2 are used to hold the laptop case on the carrier plate 2, preventing it from shifting during polishing, which would affect the polishing effect.

[0035] Guide posts 4 are fixed to the bottom of carrier plate 2 and extend through lift plate 5. Lift plate 5 is provided with guide holes that mate with guide posts 4. When lift plate 5 is raised and lowered by lift cylinder 9, guide posts 4 guide the lift plate 5, preventing it from shaking during the lifting process and improving the positioning accuracy of the laptop housing.

[0036] The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 9 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting plate 5, and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 9 passes through the lifting plate 5 and is fixed to the bottom of the carrier plate 2. There are two ways to fix the lifting cylinder 9: one is to fix the cylinder body, and the other is to fix the piston rod. This application adopts the second fixing method. The advantages of this fixing method are that it takes up little space and has a flexible structure. Because the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is directly fixed to the carrier plate 2, it only takes up a small amount of space.

[0042] The sandpaper is adhered on the surface of the rotating plate 27, and the sanding work is completed by the sandpaper when the rotating plate 27 rotates, and the sandpaper and the rotating plate 27 are adhered by magic tape. In actual conditions, one or more rotating plates 27 can be installed on the side surface of the adapter 23 according to needs, when one rotating plate 27 is installed, the notebook shell can be polished once; when multiple rotating plates 27 are installed, different grits of sandpaper can be adhered on the surface of the rotating plate 27, so that rough polishing and fine polishing are realized.

[0043] The tear yarn assembly is fixed on one side of the bottom of the support frame. When the polishing assembly polishes for a certain period of time, the sandpaper pasted on the surface thereof needs to be replaced, otherwise the subsequent polishing efficiency and polishing accuracy will be affected. The tear sand assembly is used to automatically tear off the old sandpaper pasted on the polishing assembly. As shown in Figure 5 the tear sand assembly comprises a fixing table 16, a lifting cylinder 17, a tear block 18, a first tear joint surface 19, a pressing block 20, a tapered portion 21 and a second tear joint surface 22.

[0046] When tearing the old sandpaper, the mechanical arm drives the rotating plate 27 to horizontally approach the tear sand assembly, and the tapered portion 21 is inserted between the old sandpaper and the rotating plate 27, then the lifting cylinder 17 drives the tear block 18 to move upward until the first tear joint surface 19 abuts against the lower surface of the old sandpaper, at this time the old sandpaper is clamped between the first tear joint surface 19 and the second tear joint surface 22, and the old sandpaper is torn off when the rotating plate 27 is moved upward by the mechanical arm.

[0047] The sand pasting assembly is fixed on the inner side of the side wall of the support frame, and is used to automatically paste new sandpaper on the polishing assembly. As shown in Figure 4 the sand pasting assembly comprises a fixing plate 11, a blocking column 12, a supporting plate 13, an avoiding groove 14 and a pressing plate 15. The fixing plate 11 is fixed on the inner side wall of the support frame and is horizontally arranged, the blocking column 12 is fixed on the bottom of the fixing plate 11 and is used to block the sandpaper stacked inside.

[0048] The supporting plate 13 is fixed on the bottom of the blocking column 12, the avoiding groove 14 penetrates through the supporting plate 13, and the rotating plate 27 pastes the lowermost sandpaper.
