Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shell finishing equipment, specifically to a deburring device for shell processing. Background Technology

[0002] Cars have long been an indispensable means of transportation in people's lives due to their convenience and speed. In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, the number of cars has continued to increase. However, traffic accidents involving motor vehicles have also shown a year-on-year increasing trend. The transmission is one of the most important components of a car, and the quality of the transmission is directly related to the overall quality of the car. During the production process, there are many metal burrs on the surface of the transmission housing. These burrs need to be removed before use. The main way to do this is to use a polishing machine to grind the surface of the transmission housing to remove the burrs.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN211615127U discloses a shell deburring device, including a base; a dual-station turntable mounted on the base, including two positioning fixtures arranged at opposite angles; a rotation drive source connected to the dual-station turntable for driving the turntable to rotate; and a grinding assembly including a rotating shaft connected to a grinding head positioned above the turntable. This eliminates the uncertainty of manual operation and improves deburring quality. However, when deburring shells, the aforementioned deburring device requires placing the shell on the base and replacing it with another shell after deburring. Frequent manual part changes increase labor costs. Furthermore, the grinding assembly generates debris during grinding, which splashes and pollutes the working environment, potentially posing a safety hazard to workers.

[0004] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.

[0025] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a deburring device for shell processing is provided.

[0026] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figures 1-6 As shown, the deburring device for shell processing according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a workbench 1. The workbench 1 is characterized in that a protective box 2 is provided at one end of its top, a shell conveying mechanism 3 is inserted through the side wall of the protective box 2, a shell fixing mechanism 4 is provided on the outside of the shell conveying mechanism 3, a robotic arm 5 is provided at the other end of the top of the workbench 1, a collection box 6 is provided at the bottom of the workbench 1, a pull-out box 7 is provided at the bottom of one side of the collection box 6, and a deburring assembly 8 is provided at the output end of the robotic arm 5.

[0027] Furthermore, it should be noted that the housing conveying mechanism 3 includes a transmission assembly, a support assembly, a tensioning assembly, a guide assembly, etc. The transmission assembly, as the core, is responsible for precisely transmitting the raw power provided by the electric motor to the drive drum through the reducer and coupling, thereby driving the conveyor belt. The support assembly provides a solid support foundation for the entire conveying mechanism, including components such as support frames, supports, and support points. The tensioning assembly is responsible for adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt. Through the coordinated action of the tensioning wheel, tensioning spring, and adjusting bolts, it ensures that the conveyor belt maintains appropriate tension and stability during operation. The surface of the conveyor belt also has through holes for debris to pass through and fall into the collection box 6 for recycling.

[0028] The deburring assembly 8 typically consists of the following key parts: a spindle, a floating tool holder, and a deburring tool.

[0029] The spindle is the core component of the deburring assembly. It drives the grinding tool to rotate at high speed, thereby removing burrs from the workpiece surface. Spindles come in various types, such as high-speed electric spindles, which feature high speed and high precision, meeting the deburring needs of workpieces of different materials and shapes.

[0030] A floating tool holder is connected to the spindle, allowing the spindle to float within a certain range. This floating property ensures a smoother contact between the grinding tool and the workpiece surface, avoiding workpiece damage or uneven grinding caused by rigid contact. Floating tool holders are typically designed with both radial and axial floating requirements in mind; for example, the MSIY floating spindle offers bidirectional radial and axial floating functionality.

[0031] A grinding tool is a component that comes into direct contact with the surface of a workpiece, responsible for removing burrs. There are many types of grinding tools, such as rotary files and grinding wheels; the specific tool chosen depends on the material and shape of the workpiece and the deburring requirements. Grinding tools are typically mounted at the end of a floating tool holder and rotate at high speed driven by a spindle.

[0032] In addition, a camera and controller are installed inside the protective box 6. The camera is used to acquire the position of the housing, and the controller is used to control the conveyor belt.

[0033] The camera device typically includes a high-definition camera and a related image processing module. The camera is precisely mounted inside the protective enclosure 6, enabling it to capture and monitor the enclosure's position in real time. Utilizing advanced image processing technology, the camera device can quickly and accurately identify the enclosure's location.

[0034] The controller is responsible for receiving and processing position information from the camera device, as well as other possible sensor data. Based on this data, the controller can make intelligent decisions and precisely control the movement of the conveyor belt. This includes, but is not limited to, starting, stopping, accelerating, decelerating, and adjusting the direction of the conveyor belt's movement. Simultaneously, it also provides synchronous control of the housing fixing mechanism 4 and the robotic arm 5.

[0035] With the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the structure of this utility model is scientific and novel. The deburring device for shell processing realizes stable clamping, automatic movement and precise grinding of the shell, which improves the processing efficiency and accuracy, while ensuring the cleanliness of the working environment. It can meet the needs of the shell processing industry for efficient, precise and safe processing. By using the shell conveying mechanism 3, the deburring of the shell is automated and the production cost is reduced.

[0036] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned protective box 2, protective curtains 201 are provided on both sides of the protective box 2 and above the housing conveying mechanism 3, so as to prevent the debris generated by the burr grinding component 8 during burr grinding from splashing out, thereby ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the working environment.

[0037] In one embodiment, the housing fixing mechanism 4 includes a plurality of support frames 401 symmetrically arranged outside the housing conveying mechanism 3. A clamping assembly 402 is provided on one side of the top of each support frame 401, and a driving assembly 403 is provided on one bottom side of each support frame 401. The clamping assembly 402 includes a housing 4021 disposed on one side of the top of the support frame 401. Fixing rods 4022 are symmetrically arranged inside the housing 4021, and an adjusting rod 4023 is provided at one end of each fixing rod 4022. A limiting opening is provided at the middle of the top of each fixing rod 4022. The first limiting hole 4024 has a guide block 4025 inside, and a spring 4026 is provided on one side of the guide block 4025. One end of the fixing rod 4022 is set as an inclined surface. The top center of the adjusting rod 4023 has a second limiting hole 4027, and a second guide block 4028 is provided inside the second limiting hole 4027. Both ends of one side of the adjusting rod 4023 are set as inclined surfaces 4022 that cooperate with the first inclined surface. The bottom ends of the first guide block 4025 and the second guide block 4028 are connected to the inner wall of the housing 4021. The driving assembly 403 includes a... A movable plate 4031 is positioned at the bottom of one side of the support frame 401. Guide rails 4032 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the movable plate 4031. A drive rod 4033 extends through the side wall of the movable plate 4031. A motor 4034 is mounted at one end of the drive rod 4033. A support plate 4035, connected to the side wall of the collection box 6, is located at the bottom end of the motor 4034. In practical applications, the drive rod 4033 and the support plate 4035 are connected by bearings. A fixed plate 4036 is located on the outer side of the middle of the drive rod 4033, and the bottom end of the fixed plate 4036 is connected to the collection box. The top of 6 is fixedly connected; both ends of the outer side of the drive rod 4033 are provided with threads 40331, and the two sets of threads 40331 are in opposite directions; the middle of the side wall of the support plate 4035 is provided with a threaded hole 40351 that matches the thread 40331, so as to ensure the stability of the shell during grinding. The drive assembly 403 can drive the clamping assembly 402 on the support frame 401 to clamp and fix the shell. With the cooperation of the fixing rod 4022 and the adjusting rod 4023, it can clamp shells of different shapes, improving the applicability of the device.

[0038] The working principle of the housing fixing mechanism 4 is as follows: the motor 4034 drives the drive rod 4033 to rotate, and then, with the cooperation of the thread 40331 and the threaded hole 40351, it drives the two sets of moving plates 4031 to move towards the fixed plate 4036. Then, under the action of the support frame 401, it drives the housing 4021 to move towards the housing on the housing conveying mechanism 3. Then, when one of the fixed rods 4022 contacts the housing, the housing provides an opposite force to the fixed rod 4022. Under the action of the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, it drives the adjusting rod 4023 to move and push the other fixed rod 4022 to move closer to the housing until the two fixed rods 4022 no longer move, thus achieving the clamping and fixing of the housing.

[0039] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in actual process is described in detail below.

[0040] In practical applications, the shell to be processed is first placed in the shell conveying mechanism 3 for transmission. When it is transmitted into the protective box 2, the position of the shell is obtained by a pre-set camera device, and the position of the shell on the shell conveying mechanism 3 is controlled by the controller. Then, the shell is transported to the position of the shell fixing mechanism 4, where the shell is clamped and fixed. Then, the position of the deburring component 8 at the conveying end is controlled by the robotic arm 5, and the deburring component 8 is used to deburr the burrs on the surface of the shell. After the deburring is completed, the shell fixing mechanism 4 no longer clamps and fixes the shell, and it is then transported to the next process by the shell conveyor belt 3. During the deburring process, the protective box 2 and the protective curtain 201 can prevent debris from splashing out. The generated debris will fall into the collection box 6 through the conveyor belt with through holes in the shell conveying mechanism 3 for recycling. Then, it can be pulled out by the pull-out box 7 and the recycled debris is processed.

[0041] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the structure of this utility model is scientific and novel. This deburring device for shell processing achieves stable clamping, automatic movement, and precise grinding of the shell, improving processing efficiency and accuracy while ensuring the cleanliness of the working environment. It can meet the needs of the shell processing industry for efficient, precise, and safe processing. By using the shell conveying mechanism 3, the deburring of the shell is automated, reducing production costs. By setting up the protective box 2, the collection box 6, and the protective curtain 201, the debris generated by the deburring component 8 during deburring can be prevented from splashing out, thus ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the working environment. The generated debris can also be collected and reused as raw materials. By setting up the shell fixing mechanism 4, the stability of the shell during grinding can be ensured. The driving component 403 can drive the clamping component 402 on the support frame 401 to clamp and fix the shell. With the cooperation of the fixing rod 4022 and the adjusting rod 4023, shells of different shapes can be clamped, improving the applicability of the device.
