The machine tool connecting device in the application can effectively adapt to machine tool devices of different heights and different layouts in the workshop, and realize automatic transmission of materials between different machine tools. This automatic feeding and discharging not only reduces manual intervention and reduces human errors, but also significantly improves production efficiency, so that the production line can achieve a higher level of automation.

[0051] Figure 9 and Figure 10 respectively show the structure diagrams of two materials 1; the material 1 is an aluminum frame, and the drilling position and the machining surface are arranged upwards.

[0052] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the multiple material conveying lines 21 all have operation ends 211a, and the operation ends 211a of the multiple material conveying lines 21 gradually extend outward in the vertically downward direction; as shown in Figure 6 , the conveying mechanism 20 further comprises a support frame 22, and the multiple material conveying lines 21 are all installed on the support frame 22. Through the gradual extension of the operation end, it can be ensured that materials of different heights can be accurately and accurately conveyed to the specified position, and the use of the support frame 22 ensures the stability and reliability of the entire conveying mechanism.

[0053] The support frame 22 serves as the basis for the multiple material conveying lines 21 and ensures the stability and reliability of the overall structure. Each material conveying line 21 is composed of multiple parallel transmission belts 213, which are driven by a driving shaft 214 and a driven shaft 216, wherein multiple synchronous wheels 215 are arranged on the driving shaft 214 at intervals, and multiple driven wheels 217 are arranged on the driven shaft 216. One end of the transmission belt 213 is sleeved on the synchronous wheel 215, and the other end is sleeved on the corresponding driven wheel 217. A driving motor 218 is drivingly connected with the driving shaft 214 to provide power for the material conveying line 21 and ensure smooth transmission of the material 1. Specifically, the driving motor 218 drives the driving shaft 214 to rotate through a synchronous belt.

[0054] The extension design of the operation end 211a can ensure that the operation ends 211a of different material conveying lines 21 protrude in turn from the operation ends 211a of the upper material conveying lines 21, and specifically, the operation ends 211a are respectively the feeding ends or the discharging ends, so that the vertical lifting mechanism 30 can respectively feed or discharge the material conveying lines 21 on different layers. The stability and reliability of the support frame 22 enable the device to maintain good performance in a long-time and high-load working environment, and are suitable for production environments with large changes in material size and weight, such as electronic product assembly lines and mechanical part processing lines, thereby ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the production process.

[0055] In the present application, as shown in Figure 8 each material conveying line 21 comprises: a plurality of parallel transmission belts 213; a driving shaft 214 and a plurality of synchronous wheels 215 arranged on the driving shaft 214 in the axial direction, and each of the plurality of transmission belts 213 is correspondingly sleeved on one of the plurality of synchronous wheels 215; a driven shaft 216 and a plurality of driven wheels 217 arranged on the driven shaft 216 in the circumferential direction, and the other ends of the plurality of transmission belts 213 are correspondingly sleeved on the plurality of driven wheels 217; and a driving motor 218 drivingly connected with the driving shaft 214 to drive the driving shaft 214. This structural design can ensure smooth transmission of materials on the material conveying line.

[0056] Through the plurality of parallel transmission belts, and the precise cooperation between the synchronous wheels and the driven wheels between the driving shaft and the driven shaft, the device can stably transmit materials of different sizes and shapes, reducing the deviation and vibration of the materials during transmission, and is suitable for production links that require high-precision positioning and transmission, such as semiconductor chip manufacturing and optical element processing, thereby ensuring the accuracy of material transmission.

[0057] In the present embodiment, each material conveying line 21 comprises: a connecting plate 219 and a plurality of conveying frames 210, the plurality of conveying frames 210 are arranged in parallel, and the connecting plate 219 is connected with one end of the plurality of conveying frames 210; the plurality of conveying frames 210 are correspondingly arranged with the plurality of transmission belts 213, each conveying frame 210 comprises a conveying bottom plate 210a and a conveying fixed plate 210b connected with each other, each transmission belt 213 is arranged above the corresponding conveying bottom plate 210a, and each conveying fixed plate 210b is arranged on the side of the corresponding transmission belt 213; wherein, the synchronous wheels 215 and the driven wheels 217 in each transmission belt 213 are rotatably arranged on the corresponding conveying frame 210; and / or a plurality of position sensors 211e, at least one position sensor 211e is arranged between adjacent two transmission belts 213 to control the corresponding material conveying line 21 to start or stop according to the detection result of the position sensor 211e.

[0058] The use of position sensors enables real-time monitoring of the material conveying process, improving the intelligent level of the equipment. The position sensor 211e is arranged between each material conveying line 21 to detect the position information of the material 1. Based on the detection results, the corresponding material conveying line 21 can be intelligently controlled to start or stop, ensuring that the material conveying process is both efficient and accurate.

[0059] The real-time monitoring function of the position sensor can accurately detect the position and state of the material. By connecting with the control system, it can realize automatic control of the material conveying line start and stop, reducing unnecessary material stagnation and misoperation, and improving the intelligent and automated level of the production line. This function is particularly important in modern production environments such as intelligent factories and Internet of Things production lines, as it can optimize production processes, reduce material waste, and improve production efficiency and product quality through real-time data feedback.

[0060] In this embodiment, each material conveying line 21 includes a limiting mechanism 211b arranged at the tail end of the material conveying line 21 to limit the material 1 moving to the tail end of the material conveying line 21. The limiting mechanism can prevent the material from deviating or falling due to inertia or improper speed control during the conveying process, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the material conveying process.

[0061] The application of the limiting mechanism not only improves the stability of the material conveying process, but also reduces the machine tool processing errors caused by inaccurate material position through precise limiting function, and is suitable for production environments with high requirements for material conveying stability, such as precision instrument manufacturing and medical device assembly. In these fields, even a small deviation in the material can cause performance problems in the final product, so the addition of the limiting mechanism greatly improves the precision and reliability of the entire production line.

[0062] In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism 211b includes a limiting driving member 211c and a limiting plate 211d. The limiting driving member 211c is drivingly connected with the limiting plate 211d to drive the limiting plate 211d to rise and fall, and the limiting plate 211d limits the material 1 on the material conveying line 21. This dynamic limiting method can adapt to materials of different sizes, improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0063] The special design of the material conveying line 21 can be seen that the tail end of each material conveying line 21 is equipped with a limiting mechanism 211b. The limiting mechanism 211b is composed of a limiting driving element 211c and a limiting plate 211d. The limiting driving element 211c can drive the limiting plate 211d to rise and fall. When the material 1 moves to the tail end of the material conveying line 21, the limiting plate 211d can accurately limit it, ensuring the position accuracy and safety of the material 1 during transmission. In some embodiments, in order to more effectively control the position of the material 1, at least one limiting mechanism 211b is arranged between the plurality of parallel conveying belts 213 included in each material conveying line 21.

[0064] It can be seen that the limiting mechanism controls the rise and fall of the limiting plate through the limiting driving element, and can flexibly adjust the limiting position according to the size and shape of different materials. This design has high flexibility and can meet the needs of multi-variety and small-batch production, and is suitable for production environments with variable material sizes, such as multi-variety and small-batch production, personalized product manufacturing, etc. In these production modes, the versatility and adaptability of the equipment are key factors to improve production efficiency and reduce equipment investment.

[0065] In this embodiment, there are multiple limiting mechanisms 211b, and the material conveying line 21 includes multiple parallel conveying belts 213. At least one limiting mechanism 211b is arranged between adjacent two conveying belts 213. The arrangement of multiple limiting mechanisms 211b can further improve the accuracy and safety of material transmission, and is suitable for production environments with complex material transmission paths and high precision requirements.

[0066] In production environments with complex material transmission paths and high precision requirements, such as material transmission of multi-axis linkage machine tools and precision assembly of microelectronic components, the arrangement of multiple limiting mechanisms can ensure the accurate positioning of materials at each transportation link, effectively preventing material misalignment or damage caused by insufficient single-point limiting, and improving the operation efficiency and product quality of the entire production line. This design is particularly important in industries that require high-precision material handling, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of the production process.

[0067] The vertical lifting mechanism 30 is configured to include a clamping assembly 31 and a vertical moving module 32. The clamping assembly 31 can adjust the position to clamp the material 1 of different heights, and ensure the safety of the material 1 during lifting and lowering. The vertical moving module 32 includes a vertical rack 321 that moves in the vertical direction, and a vertical moving drive motor 322 that is drivingly connected to the vertical rack 321 and moves the vertical rack 321 through a vertical gear. A vertical motor plate 325 is installed with the vertical moving drive motor 322, and is connected to a vertical sliding rail 324 through a vertical sliding block 326. Thus, under the driving of the vertical rack 321, the entire vertical moving module 32 can move in the vertical direction, and the clamping assembly 31 is installed on the vertical sliding rail 324 and moves together to complete the vertical transmission of the material 1.

[0068] In the embodiment, the vertical lifting mechanism 30 further includes a first horizontal moving module 33, a vertical moving drive motor 322 is installed on the first horizontal moving module 33 through a vertical motor plate 325, the first horizontal moving module 33 is movably arranged in a first horizontal direction to drive the vertical moving module 32 to move in the first horizontal direction; a second horizontal moving module 34, the second horizontal moving module 34 is installed on the first horizontal moving module 33, and the second horizontal moving module 34 is movably arranged in a second horizontal direction to drive the first horizontal moving module 33 to move in the second horizontal direction; wherein the first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction. The three-dimensional moving vertical lifting mechanism can realize flexible transmission of the material in space.

[0069] The horizontal moving ability of the vertical lifting mechanism 30 is realized by arranging the first horizontal moving module 33 in the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal moving module 34 in the second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, so as to realize the accurate movement of the material 1 in the three-dimensional space. Specifically, the vertical moving module 32 is installed on the first horizontal moving module 33 through the vertical motor plate 325, and the first horizontal moving module 33 itself can move in the first horizontal direction. The second horizontal moving module 34 is installed on the first horizontal moving module 33 and can move in the second horizontal direction. Thus, by means of the cooperation of the first horizontal moving module 33 and the second horizontal moving module 34, the material 1 can not only move in the vertical direction, but also accurately adjust the position in the horizontal plane, greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of the transmission.

[0070] The vertical lifting mechanism of three-dimensional movement provides precise control ability of the material in X, Y and Z directions, and is suitable for production environment requiring precise positioning of the material in three-dimensional space, such as large mechanical assembly, material scheduling of multi-layer production line, etc. In these scenarios, the position accuracy of the material directly affects the efficiency and quality of subsequent processing or assembly, and the flexibility and accuracy of the three-dimensional movement mechanism can effectively meet these high requirements, reduce material loss in the production process, and improve the overall operation efficiency of the production line.

[0071] In this embodiment, the second horizontal movement module 34 comprises a horizontal sliding rail 341 extending in the second horizontal direction, a horizontal motor plate 342 slidably connected with the horizontal sliding rail 341 through a horizontal sliding block 343, and the first horizontal movement module 33 installed on the horizontal motor plate 342. The second horizontal movement module 34 further comprises a horizontal movement rack 344 extending in the second horizontal direction, and a horizontal movement drive motor 345 installed on the horizontal motor plate 342, the output shaft of the horizontal movement drive motor 345 being drivingly connected with the horizontal movement rack 344 through a horizontal gear, so that the horizontal gear moves along the horizontal movement rack 344. This driving mode can ensure smooth movement of the material in the horizontal direction.

[0072] Through the precise cooperation of the horizontal movement rack and gear, and the stable connection of the horizontal sliding rail and sliding block, the second horizontal movement module 34 can ensure smooth and accurate movement of the material in the horizontal direction, and is suitable for production links requiring precise control of the material in the horizontal direction, such as material positioning on the assembly line, material picking in the automated warehouse, etc. In these environments, accurate positioning of the material is the key to improving production efficiency and reducing errors, and the addition of the horizontal movement module can realize precise positioning and transmission of the material through its stable drive system, providing key technical support for improving the intelligent level and operation efficiency of the production line.

[0073] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 Each material conveying line 21 comprises an automatic clamping mechanism 220 arranged above the conveying belt 213 of the material conveying line 21, and the automatic clamping mechanism 220 comprises a first yoke 221 and a second yoke 222 arranged opposite to each other, the first yoke 221 and the second yoke 222 being arranged close to or away from each other to push the material 1 between the first yoke 221 and the second yoke 222. The use of the automatic clamping mechanism can realize automatic positioning and clamping of the material, improving the automation degree of material transmission.

[0074] The automatic centering mechanism is arranged through the precise action of the first yoke 221 and the second yoke 222, which can automatically adjust the position of the material, ensure the accurate centering of the material before transmission, reduce the positioning error in subsequent processing, and is suitable for production links that require automatic centering of the material, such as automatic welding, laser cutting, etc. In these high-precision processing processes, small positional deviations of the material can lead to a decrease in product quality, and the application of the automatic centering mechanism can effectively avoid these errors through its automatic adjustment and positioning function, improve processing precision, reduce scrap rate, and thus improve overall production efficiency and economic benefits.

[0075] In this embodiment, the automatic centering mechanism 220 further comprises: a first shifting rack 223 and a second shifting rack 224, which are arranged in parallel; the first yoke 221 is arranged on the first shifting rack 223, and the second yoke 222 is arranged on the second shifting rack 224; a shifting drive motor 225 and a shifting gear 226, the output shaft of the shifting drive motor 225 is connected with the shifting gear 226, and the shifting gear 226 is located between the first shifting rack 223 and the second shifting rack 224 and is engaged with them respectively. This driving mode can ensure the synchronous action of the first yoke and the second yoke, and improve the accuracy and speed of material positioning.

[0076] The structure of the automatic centering mechanism 220, which is arranged above the conveying belt 213 on the material conveying line 21, is composed of the oppositely arranged first yoke 221 and second yoke 222, which can move towards or away from each other to shift the material 1 located between them, achieving automatic positioning of the material 1 on the material conveying line 21, reducing manual intervention, and improving transmission efficiency. Specifically, the first yoke 221 is arranged on the first shifting rack 223, and the second yoke 222 is arranged on the second shifting rack 224, and the two racks are arranged in parallel. The output shaft of the shifting drive motor 225 is connected with the shifting gear 226, which is located between the two shifting racks and is engaged with them respectively, so that when the motor works, it can drive the two racks and the yokes to adjust the position, thereby clamping or releasing the material 1.

[0077] The use of the first shifting rack and the second shifting rack in the automatic centering mechanism in cooperation with the shifting gear and the shifting drive motor can ensure the rapid and accurate positioning of the material during transmission, reducing the time for material waiting and positioning, and improving production efficiency. This design is particularly suitable for production links that require rapid and accurate positioning of the material, such as high-speed packaging lines, automated detection lines, etc., which can greatly reduce the downtime of the production line, improve the utilization rate of equipment, and thus improve the overall production efficiency and economic benefits.

[0078] The machine tool connection device in the application mainly consists of two parallel machining machine tools, a vertical lifting mechanism, a horizontal Y-direction moving module mechanism, a horizontal X-direction moving frame mechanism, an electric control cabinet, and a four-layer conveying line, as shown in the overall view. Figure 1 As shown in the overall view. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The aluminum frame workpiece has similar specifications and shapes, but the length is different; according to the customized requirements of the customer products, there are more than 100 types of aluminum frame specifications, so it is necessary to design a feeding conveying line that is compatible with multiple specifications and can improve efficiency. The four-layer conveying line in the application can meet the above requirements. The conveying line from top to bottom is a feeding line, a feeding line, a discharging line, and a discharging line. Among them, the feeding line and the feeding line both have an automatic clamping mechanism and a positioning lifting mechanism. The four-layer conveying line has a positioning sensor at the feeding and discharging positions of each layer to detect the incoming state and facilitate the execution of the next action. The side view of the four-layer conveying line is designed in a trapezoidal shape, and each layer is longer than the previous layer. The main purpose is to stagger the space for feeding and discharging, and each layer of the conveying line is independent of each other and does not interfere with each other, which is flexible and convenient. In the logic control end, it can also be designed in online and offline modes, which does not affect the machining of the machine tool. The feeding line can store at least 25 aluminum frames for processing as a buffer function. The time required for processing 25 aluminum frames is 4 hours, and after 4 hours, the staff will come to replenish the material, reducing the labor intensity and providing the staff with other work efficiency.

[0079] The feeding line mainly consists of a servo motor, a driving shaft, a positioning lifting mechanism, a ribbed belt, a connecting plate, a conveying bottom plate, a synchronous belt and pulley, an automatic clamping mechanism, a plate A, a conveying fixed plate, a driven shaft, a sensor, etc. The conveying bottom plate of the feeding line is fixed with the profile bracket of the four-layer conveying line; the connecting plate is connected with the conveying bottom plate, the servo motor is fixed on the connecting plate with the synchronous pulley, the driving shaft and the driven shaft are in rotary motion with the conveying fixed plate, the ribbed belt is synchronously conveyed, and the sensor detects the incoming state; in the feeding mode, stop without material, and rotate the belt synchronously for one step with material; in the discharging mode, stop with material, and rotate the belt synchronously for one step without material.

[0080] The automatic clamping mechanism mainly consists of two shift forks, two slide rail sliders, a gear, two racks, and a servo motor. The automatic clamping mechanism is connected and fixed with the conveying fixed plate on both sides of the feeding line. When the aluminum frame is conveyed to the motor side with the ribbed belt, the sensor is triggered, the positioning lifting mechanism is raised, the aluminum frame is blocked and positioned in the forward direction; on the other hand, the sensor signal is transmitted to the servo motor of the automatic clamping mechanism, the two shift forks are synchronously retracted to the middle under the transmission of the gear and rack, and stop until the middle distance is consistent with the length of the processed aluminum frame. The mechanism can be compatible with various lengths of workpieces, so that they are all positioned in the middle.

[0081] The aluminum frame after positioning is moved to a suitable position by a horizontal Y-direction moving module mechanism and a horizontal X-direction moving rack mechanism, and then the vertical lifting mechanism moves downward to the top of the aluminum frame workpiece to be processed through the power transmission of a servo motor, a gear and a rack, and a slide rail and a slide block, and after being clamped by double claws, it is conveyed to the machine tool waiting for processing. When the processing is completed and the material is discharged, the action sequence is reversed, and the vertical lifting mechanism can only place the processed aluminum frame on the discharging line.

[0082] It can be seen that the machine tool line equipment in the application has the following advantages:

[0083] 1. The automatic centering mechanism can center and position aluminum frames of various specifications.

[0084] 2. The four-layer conveying line is staggered and stacked, and the feeding and discharging of aluminum frames of various specifications is orderly.

[0085] 3. The multi-position sensor monitoring has feeding and discharging modes, which is very flexible and convenient.

[0086] In summary, the machine tool line equipment provided by the application realizes efficient and accurate transmission of the material 1 in three-dimensional space through its unique design, including the material conveying line 21, the automatic centering mechanism 220, and the vertical and horizontal moving modules, which significantly improves the production efficiency and automation level. The addition of the automatic centering mechanism 220 and the position sensor 211e further optimizes the positioning and transmission control of the material 1, reduces manual intervention, reduces production costs, and improves the stability and reliability of the overall system, providing strong technical support for modern industrial production.

[0087] The machine tool line equipment provided by the application not only realizes the intelligentization and automation of material transmission in technology, but also optimizes the design for different production environments and needs, has a wide range of implementation effects and application scenarios, can effectively improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and improve product quality, and is an indispensable key technical equipment in modern industrial production. In the field of intelligent manufacturing, the application of such equipment will be more widespread, becoming an important force to promote the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry.

For those skilled in the art, the application can be modified and changed in various ways. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
