Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of parts processing technology, and in particular relates to an automatic deburring workstation for crankshafts. Background Technology
[0002] A crankshaft deburring workstation is a collection of equipment specifically designed for removing burrs from the surface of crankshafts. Deburring equipment typically employs methods such as mechanical deburring, electrochemical deburring, and thermal deburring. These devices can efficiently remove burrs from different parts of the crankshaft and according to their specific characteristics.
[0003] For example, mechanical deburring equipment may include tools such as rotary cutters, sanding belts, and grinding heads to remove burrs through cutting and grinding. During the mechanical deburring process, the crankshaft needs to be clamped and fixed. Generally, the operator manually fixes both ends of the crankshaft inside the processing machine. However, due to different customer requirements, the length of the produced crankshaft may vary, which requires constant adjustment of the spacing of the fixing devices at both ends of the crankshaft, making the operation cumbersome.
[0004] Therefore, an automatic deburring workstation for crankshafts is designed to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the distance between the fixing devices at both ends of the crankshaft needs to be manually adjusted when the crankshaft length changes, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Utility Model Content
[0006] This disclosure provides at least one automatic crankshaft deburring workstation.
[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide an automatic crankshaft deburring workstation, comprising:
[0008] Control module;
[0009] Several workpiece mating seats are disposed inside the machining machine body, and a drive cylinder corresponding to each workpiece mating seat is connected below each workpiece mating seat; wherein
[0010] After the crankshaft part is placed in the machining machine, the control module controls the activation of at least two drive cylinders to move the corresponding machining part mating seat to lift the crankshaft part.
[0011] A drive mechanism, located on one side of the crankshaft component, is adapted to move the raised crankshaft component between at least two machining engagement seats during startup to adjust the machining position of the crankshaft component; and
[0012] The clamping mechanism is located on the other side of the crankshaft part and is adapted to be activated when the crankshaft part is pushed to the machining position by the drive mechanism, thereby clamping the crankshaft part.
[0013] In one optional implementation, the drive mechanism includes:
[0014] A horizontal output cylinder is located on one side of the crankshaft components, and a push rod is connected to the bearing at its output end;
[0015] The push rod is collinear with the axis of the crankshaft component; and
[0016] The end of the push rod facing the crankshaft component is tapered; wherein
[0017] The push rod is adapted to move toward the crankshaft component when the horizontal output cylinder is started, until the tapered end of the push rod abuts against the hollow end of the crankshaft component and pushes the crankshaft component to move.
[0018] In one alternative embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes:
[0019] A rotary motor is located on the other side of the crankshaft component; among which
[0020] The output end of the rotary motor is connected to a rotating base; and
[0021] The rotating base is provided with a number of clamping drivers on one end face facing the crankshaft part, and the output end of each clamping driver is connected to a clamping component.
[0022] Each of the clamping actuators is adapted to be activated when the push rod pushes the crankshaft component to move until the crankshaft component moves to abut against the end face of the rotating base, so as to bring the clamping members closer to each other to clamp and fix the crankshaft component.
[0023] In one optional embodiment, a robotic arm is provided inside the processing machine body; wherein
[0024] The robotic arm has a tool mounting position that fits into the outer wall of the tool base.
[0025] In one optional embodiment, a tool placement platform is provided on one side of the robotic arm; wherein
[0026] The tool placement platform has several tool storage slots; and
[0027] Each machining tool corresponds to its respective tool storage location.
[0028] In one alternative embodiment, the outer wall of the robotic arm is provided with a plurality of shovel blades.
[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that, by setting up a drive mechanism and a clamping mechanism to cooperate, after the crankshaft part is placed inside the processing machine body, the drive cylinder drives the processing workpiece fitting seat to lift the crankshaft part, and the drive mechanism pushes the crankshaft part to move until the crankshaft part is in contact with the clamping mechanism. At this time, the clamping mechanism clamps and fixes the crankshaft part, so that even if the length of the crankshaft part changes, the drive mechanism and the clamping mechanism will always keep the crankshaft part clamped, without the need to manually adjust the distance between the drive mechanism and the clamping mechanism, saving time and effort.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0047] In this document, when it is mentioned that a first component is located on a second component, this can mean that the first component can be directly formed on the second component, or that a third component can be inserted between the first and second components. Furthermore, in the accompanying drawings, the thickness of the components may be exaggerated or reduced for the purpose of effectively describing the technical content.
[0048] In this document, when an element or layer is referred to as “located,” “joined to,” “connected to,” “attached to,” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it may be directly located, joined, connected, attached to, or coupled to the other element or layer, or there may be intermediate elements or layers present. Conversely, when an element is referred to as “directly on another element or layer,” “directly joined to,” “directly connected to,” “directly attached to,” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there may be no intermediate elements or layers present. Other terms used to describe relationships between elements should be interpreted in a similar manner (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.). As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0049] In this document, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As used herein, expressions such as “at least one of…” modify the entire list of elements when following a list of elements, rather than individual elements in the list. For example, the expression “at least one of a, b, and c” should be understood to include only a, only b, only c, both a and b, both a and c, both b and c, or all of a, b, and c.
[0050] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing specific exemplary configurations only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular articles “a,” “an,” and “the” may also be intended to include plural forms unless otherwise clearly stated herein.

[0051] As used herein, the phrases “in one embodiment,” “according to one embodiment,” “in some embodiments,” etc., generally refer to the fact that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic following the phrase can be included in at least one embodiment of this disclosure. Therefore, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic can be included in more than one embodiment of this disclosure, such that these phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. As used herein, the terms “example,” “exemplary,” etc., are used to “serve as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any implementation, aspect, or design described herein as “example” or “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or superior to other implementations, aspects, or designs.

[0052] Research has shown that during the mechanical deburring process, the crankshaft needs to be clamped and fixed. Generally, the operator manually fixes both ends of the crankshaft inside the processing machine. However, due to different customer requirements, the length of the produced crankshaft may vary, which requires constant adjustment of the spacing of the fixing devices at both ends of the crankshaft, making the operation cumbersome.
[0053] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides an automatic crankshaft deburring workstation. It is equipped with a drive mechanism and a clamping mechanism that work together. After the crankshaft part is placed inside the machining machine, a drive cylinder drives the workpiece mating seat to lift the crankshaft part. The drive mechanism then moves the crankshaft part until it comes into contact with the clamping mechanism. At this point, the clamping mechanism holds and fixes the crankshaft part, ensuring that even when the length of the crankshaft part changes, the drive mechanism and clamping mechanism always maintain the crankshaft part in place, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of the distance between the drive mechanism and the clamping mechanism, thus saving time and effort.
[0054] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the utility model inventor's practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as contributions made by the utility model inventor to this disclosure.
[0055] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0056] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the interior of the machining body 1 is equipped with several drive cylinders 10, and the output end of each drive cylinder 10 is provided with a machining part fitting seat 11 of different shapes. Each machining part fitting seat 11 can be replaced according to the shape of the crankshaft part 6 produced. When machining a crankshaft part 6 of a certain shape, the crankshaft part 6 is placed inside the machining body 1, and the corresponding drive cylinder 10 is started by the control module to lift the corresponding machining part fitting seat 11 to fit with the outer wall of the crankshaft part 6, thereby stabilizing the current crankshaft part 6.
[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the crankshaft component 6 is raised to the designated position, the control module controls the horizontal output cylinder 2 to start. Its output end drives the push rod 20 to extend and approach the crankshaft component 6. As shown in the figure, the end face of the crankshaft component 6 facing the horizontal output cylinder 2 is hollowed out. At this time, as the push rod 20 moves and approaches the hollowed-out end of the crankshaft component 6, the tapered end of the push rod 20 abuts against the hollowed-out end of the crankshaft component 6, pushing the crankshaft component 6 to move horizontally.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, as the crankshaft part 6 is pushed, it gradually approaches the rotating base 30 until one end of the crankshaft part 6 near the rotating base 30 abuts against the end face of the rotating base 30. At this time, the clamping driver 31 is activated, causing each clamping member 311 to move toward the crankshaft part 6 until the crankshaft part 6 is clamped. Then, the rotary motor 3 is activated, driving the rotating base 30 and the clamped crankshaft part 6 to rotate, and the crankshaft part 6 is rotated to a specified angle according to the processing requirements.
[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, after the crankshaft part 6 is clamped, it is necessary to remove burrs from its surface. At this time, the control module controls the robot arm 5 to start and inserts the corresponding processing tool 40 into the tool mounting position 50. The robot arm 5 moves the processing tool 40 to process the surface of the crankshaft part 6. After the processing is completed, the scraper 51 on the surface of the robot arm 5 is used to scrape off the burrs generated during processing.
[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, a tool placement platform 4 is fixed inside the machining body 1, and different types of machining tools 40 are placed in the tool storage position 41. At this time, the robot arm 5 can be controlled by the control module to pick up different types of machining tools 40 to process the crankshaft parts.
[0062] In summary, by incorporating a drive mechanism and a clamping mechanism, after the crankshaft part is placed inside the machining machine, the drive cylinder drives the workpiece mating seat to lift the crankshaft part. The drive mechanism then moves the crankshaft part until it comes into contact with the clamping mechanism. At this point, the clamping mechanism holds and fixes the crankshaft part in place. This ensures that the crankshaft part remains clamped by the drive mechanism and clamping mechanism even when its length changes, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of the distance between the drive mechanism and the clamping mechanism, thus saving time and effort.
[0063] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0064] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless expressly indicated herein. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed above may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment.
[0065] Spatially relative terms, such as “inside,” “outside,” “below,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “up,” etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature illustrated in the figures and another element or feature. In addition to the orientations depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms may be intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” other elements or features would be oriented as “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.
[0066] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
