Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece processing, and in particular to a vertical circulating production equipment for workpiece processing. Background Technology

[0002] Workpiece processing equipment typically includes guide rails and gripping mechanisms. These grippers transport the workpiece from the feed end to the unloading end via the guide rails, and milling cutters or other cutting tools are used to process the workpiece during this process. Since the feed and unloading ends are fixed, the gripping mechanisms in existing equipment must return to the feed end after transporting one workpiece to grip the next, resulting in idle strokes and low processing efficiency.

[0003] Based on the above, the existing workpiece processing and production equipment needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a vertical circulating production equipment for workpiece processing. This equipment enables the gripper mechanism to repeatedly transport workpieces through a vertical circulating conveyor mechanism and a double-layer processing table, thereby reducing the idle stroke of the gripper mechanism and improving processing efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a vertical circulating production equipment for workpiece processing, including a processing table, the processing table including a first table and a second table, the second table being disposed below the first table; a conveying mechanism, the conveying mechanism being disposed on one side of the processing table, including a first guide rail disposed corresponding to the first table and a second guide rail disposed corresponding to the second table, and lifting components disposed at both ends of the first and second guide rails; a gripping mechanism, the gripping mechanism being slidably disposed on the conveying mechanism, the gripping mechanism being reciprocated at the same end of the first and second guide rails via the lifting components; and a processing mechanism, the processing mechanism including a first tool assembly, a second tool assembly, and a third tool assembly, the first tool assembly, the second tool assembly, and the third tool assembly being disposed on a tool mounting plate.

[0006] This invention, by setting up a vertical circulating conveyor mechanism and a corresponding processing table, allows the gripper mechanism to transport the workpiece to one end, then transfer it to another guide rail via a lifting component to clamp the workpiece, and then transport the workpiece from one end to the other, repeating the cycle. This ensures that all strokes of the gripper mechanism are fully loaded. Compared with existing technologies, this invention's vertical circulating production equipment for workpiece processing improves the conveying efficiency of the gripper mechanism, thereby increasing processing efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the distance between the first table and the second table is not less than the operable height range of the processing mechanism, the feeding end of the first table corresponds to the unloading end of the second table, and the unloading end of the first table corresponds to the feeding end of the first table.

[0008] Preferably, the tool mounting plate is provided with a third guide rail, which extends along the height direction. The first tool assembly is slidably mounted on the third guide rail via a sliding plate. The first tool assembly includes a first tool disposed at the lower part, which extends along the height direction. The height of the first tool can be adjusted via the third guide rail, thereby controlling the machining depth of the workpiece.

[0009] Preferably, the second tool assembly and the third tool assembly are mounted on the tool mounting plate via a transmission assembly. The second tool assembly includes a second tool disposed at the lower part, which extends along the width direction of the machining table. The third tool assembly includes a third tool disposed at the lower part, which extends along the length direction of the machining table.

[0010] The first, second, and third cutting tools can perform machining on the workpiece in the X, Y, and Z directions respectively, so that the end faces of the workpiece can be machined.

[0011] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a bracket, a fourth guide rail, and a lifting seat. The fourth guide rail is disposed on the bracket, and the lifting seat is slidably disposed on the fourth guide rail. The lifting seat is used to reciprocate to transport the gripper mechanism at the same end of the first guide rail and the second guide rail. Transporting the gripper mechanism through the lifting seat makes the lifting of the gripper mechanism more stable.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting seat includes a base plate and a fifth guide rail, the fifth guide rail being matched with the first guide rail and the second guide rail, the fifth guide rail extending along the length direction of the conveying mechanism, and the fifth guide rail reciprocating along the fourth guide rail via the base plate.

[0013] Preferably, the base plate is provided with a sixth guide rail, which extends along the length of the conveying mechanism. The fifth guide rail is slidably disposed on the sixth guide rail and is spliced ​​to the end of the first or second guide rail through the sixth guide rail.

[0014] Preferably, the lengths of both sides of the second guide rail are greater than the lengths of both sides of the first guide rail, the fourth guide rail is inclined, and the upper end of the fourth guide rail corresponds to the first guide rail, and the lower end of the fourth guide rail corresponds to the second guide rail.

[0015] The gripper mechanism picks up the workpiece from the feed end of the first table, transports the workpiece to the unloading end of the first table, and then unloads it. The gripper mechanism slides onto the fifth guide rail that is connected to the first guide rail. The fifth guide rail slides along the sixth guide rail until it detaches from the first guide rail, and is driven by the base plate to slide along the fourth guide rail to correspond with the second guide rail. It slides along the sixth guide rail and connects with the second guide rail. The gripper mechanism can then slide from the fifth guide rail to the second guide rail, completing the transfer from the first guide rail to the second guide rail. The transfer of the gripper mechanism from the second guide rail to the first guide rail is similar.

[0016] Preferably, the gripper mechanism includes a sliding part slidably disposed on the conveying mechanism and a gripping part for gripping the plate, the gripping part being disposed on one side of the sliding part. Preferably, the sliding part is designed in an "n" shape to match the shape of the guide rail, thereby limiting the gripper structure and preventing it from falling off the guide rail.

[0017] Preferably, the clamping part includes an upper pressure plate and a lower pressure plate, the upper pressure plate is disposed on the upper side of the lower pressure plate, the lower pressure plate is fixedly disposed on the sliding part, and the upper pressure plate is slidably disposed on the sliding part via a seventh guide rail.

[0018] Preferably, a first cylinder is provided on the lower side of the lower pressure plate, and a through hole is provided on the lower pressure plate. The piston on the first cylinder extends through the through hole to the upper pressure plate. The first cylinder adjusts the distance between the upper pressure plate and the lower pressure plate by adjusting the extension length of the piston.

[0019] When it is necessary to clamp the sheet metal, the piston extends further, causing the upper pressure plate to slide upward, thereby increasing the distance between the upper and lower pressure plates. When it is necessary to tighten the clamping part, the piston retracts, causing the upper pressure plate to slide downward, thereby shortening the distance between the upper and lower pressure plates and clamping the sheet metal.
