[0016] To illustrate the technical solution described in this utility model, specific embodiments are described below.

[0017] Example

[0018] Please see Figure 1This embodiment provides an automated auxiliary production line for lathes, including a feeding line 1, a processing equipment 2, a unloading mechanism 3, and an unloading line 4. The processing equipment 2 is located between the feeding line 1 and the unloading line 4. The processing equipment 2 includes a processing platform 21, a control platform 22, and a processing robot 23. The processing platform 21 is located between the discharge end of the feeding line 1 and the feed end of the unloading line 4, and the surfaces of the feeding line 1, the processing platform 21, and the unloading line 4 are on the same plane. The processing platform 21 has positioning slots 211 arranged in a cross shape on the front, back, left, and right sides. A positioning device 5 is provided below each positioning slot 211. The control platform 22 is located on one side of the processing platform 21 and has a control system. The control platform 22 is equipped with a touch screen 24. The processing robot 23 is located on the control platform 22 and above the processing platform 21. Its actions are controlled by the control system. The unloading mechanism 3 is located on one side of the feed end of the unloading line 4.

[0019] Both the loading line 1 and the unloading line 4 are roller conveyors. The workpiece is automatically loaded via the loading line 1, and after processing, it is automatically unloaded via the unloading line 4.

[0020] The free end of the machining robot 23 is provided with a tool detachable mounting hole, through which a machining tool 231 is mounted. Different machining tools 231 can be replaced according to the machining of different parts.

[0021] The unloading mechanism 3 includes a base 31, a rotating device 32, and an unloading robot 33. The rotating device 32 is mounted on the base 31, and the unloading robot 33 is mounted on the rotating device 32. The unloading robot 33 picks up the workpieces that have been processed on the processing platform 21 and places them on the unloading line 4 for unloading. The unloading robot 33 can rotate 360° under the action of the rotating device 32.

[0022] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the positioning device 5 includes a linear drive module 51, a lifting motor 52, and positioning blocks 53. The lifting motor 52 is movably mounted on the linear drive module 51. The motor shaft of the lifting motor 52 faces the positioning groove 211 and is connected to the positioning block 53. Under the action of the lifting motor 52, the positioning block 53 can extend and retract vertically from the positioning groove 211, and under the action of the linear drive module 51, it can reciprocate along the positioning groove 211. The lifting motor 52 and the linear drive module 51 of the positioning device 5 are both controlled by a control system. The workpiece is positioned by the positioning blocks 53 of the four positioning devices 5. The positioning blocks 53 of the positioning devices 5 can be adjusted according to the size of different parts, thus adapting to different parts.

[0023] The specific workflow is as follows: Several workpieces are fed from the feeding line 1 (they need to be placed separately). At this time, the positioning block 53 of the positioning device 5 in front of the processing platform 21 is in a retracted state, while the positioning blocks 53 of the other three positioning devices 5 are in an extended state. The first workpiece enters the processing platform 21 from the discharge end of the feeding line 1 under the action of inertia. Then the feeding line 1 stops, and the positioning blocks 53 of the positioning device 5 in front of the processing platform 21 extend. Then, under the action of the linear drive module 51, the positioning blocks 53 of the four positioning devices 5 simultaneously move the workpiece in all four directions: forward, backward, left, and right. Positioning is performed in one direction. After the workpiece is positioned, the surface of the workpiece is machined by the machining robot 23. After machining is completed, the positioning blocks 53 of the positioning devices 5 on the left, right and rear of the machining platform 21 retract, and the unloading robot 33 grabs the workpiece and places it on the unloading line 4 to unload it, thus completing the machining of the first workpiece. When machining the second workpiece, the positioning blocks 53 of the positioning devices 5 on the left, right and rear of the machining platform 21 reset (extend), and the positioning blocks 53 of the front positioning device 5 retract. The above actions are repeated until all workpieces are machined.

[0024] Preferably, a rotating wheel 54 is rotatably disposed on the working surface of the positioning block 53 of the positioning device 5. The function of the rotating wheel 54 is to facilitate the positioning block 53 to clamp the workpiece during the positioning process, and the rotating wheels 54 of the left and right positioning devices 5 also assist the workpiece to enter the processing platform 21 from the discharge end of the feeding line 1.

[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
