[0032] Referring to Figures 1-7 ,

[0033] A ball pin polishing device, a head and a tail are formed on the ball pin, the polishing device comprises: a pushing structure 1, a moving structure 2 and a polishing structure 3. The pushing structure 1 is formed with a feeding port 111 and a moving end 131 for pushing the ball pin to move. When the ball pin is placed in the feeding port 111, the ball pin may be damaged due to the knocking between metals, so the feeding port 111 is made of plastic material. The pushing force generated by the moving end 131 when pushing the ball pin to move may cause certain damage to the ball pin, so the part of the moving end 131 that contacts the ball pin is made of rubber material. The moving structure 2 is formed with a clamping part 21 for clamping the tail and a control assembly 22 for controlling the movement of the moving structure 2. The polishing structure 3 is used to form a polishing surface 31 for polishing the head at a position. The polishing structure 3 is a motor-driven polishing wheel, which rotates under the drive of the motor and drives the polishing surface 31 to rotate, and the polishing surface 31 is used to polish the side surface of the head of the ball pin. Among them, the moving end 131 pushes the ball pin to the clamping part 21, the moving structure 2 drives the clamping part 21 to move to the position where the polishing structure 3 is located, and polishes the ball pin. The operator needs to first put the head of the ball pin towards himself during the operation process, and place the ball pin in the feeding port 111. The moving end 131 formed on the pushing structure 1 pushes the head of the ball pin and pushes the ball pin to the moving structure 2. The clamping part 21 on the moving structure 2 can clamp and fix the tail of the ball pin and drive the ball pin to move to the position where the polishing structure 3 is located. The polishing surface 31 formed on the polishing structure 3 polishes the side surface of the head of the ball pin.

[0034] Specifically, the pushing structure 1 comprises a moving piece 11, a first pushing piece 12 and a second pushing piece 13. The moving piece 11 is a plate body structure, and the first pushing piece 12 and the second pushing piece 13 are hydraulic cylinders or air cylinders, preferably air cylinders in the embodiment. The first pushing piece 12 is connected with the moving piece 11, the moving piece 11 is formed with a feeding port 111, and the first pushing piece 12 can drive the moving piece 11 to move. The second pushing piece 13 is formed with a moving end 131. After the ball pin is placed in the feeding port 111, the first pushing piece 12 drives the moving piece 11 to move from an initial position to the moving end 131. The moving end 131 is located in a slide rail, and the moving end 131 on the second pushing piece 13 pushes the ball pin to move on the slide rail. The moving directions of the first pushing piece 12 and the second pushing piece 13 are perpendicular. The vertical arrangement is simpler than other arrangements during assembly. The moving direction of the moving piece 11 driven by the first pushing piece 12 is parallel to the human body, and the moving direction of the ball pin pushed by the moving end 131 on the second pushing piece 13 is away from the human body. This moving mode is to avoid that the splashes of the debris generated during polishing are splashed on the human body.

[0035] Specifically, the control assembly 22 is connected with the moving structure 2 through a transmission piece 4 and controls the moving structure 2 to move. The control assembly 22 is formed with an output end 221. The control structure is an air cylinder. The moving structure 2 is a rod-shaped structure. The transmission piece 4 comprises a rotating shaft 41, a rack 42 and a gear 43. One end of the rotating shaft 41 is fixedly arranged with the gear 43, the other end of the rotating shaft 41 is connected with the moving structure 2, and the output end 221 is fixedly connected with the rack 42. The output end 221 of the control structure can drive the rack 42 to move up and down, and make the gear 43 rotate. The gear 43 is fixed with the rotating shaft 41. When the gear 43 rotates forward, it can drive the rotating shaft 41 to rotate forward. When the gear 43 reverses, it can drive the rotating shaft 41 to reverse. Since the moving mechanism is connected with the rotating shaft 41, the rack 42 can drive the moving mechanism to move from the position of the slide rail to the position of the polishing structure 3 during the up-and-down movement of the rack 42. When the rack 42 moves up, the gear 43 rotates forward or reverses by 180 degrees. When the rack 42 moves down, the gear 43 rotates forward or reverses by 180 degrees.

[0036] Specifically, the clamping part 21 is formed with an embedding groove 211 matched with the diameter of the tail part. The moving end 131 pushes the head of the ball pin into the embedding groove 211. The protrusions formed in the embedding groove 211 can fix the ball pin on the clamping part 21, so that the ball pin will not fall off during the movement of the moving structure 2. The force generated during the polishing of the ball pin by the polishing surface 31 will not cause the ball pin to fall off.

[0037] Specifically, the embedding slot 211 is internally provided with a pushing assembly 212 for pushing the ball pin. The pushing assembly 212 is a pneumatic cylinder. After polishing, the pushing assembly 212 can push the ball pin out of the embedding slot 211. After the ball pin is pushed out by the pushing assembly 212, the moving end 131 pushes the ball pin that has not been polished into the embedding slot 211.

[0038] Specifically, when the moving structure 2 moves to the polishing structure 3, the polishing surface 31 is tangent to the head.

[0039] Specifically, the moving structure 2 is further provided with a protective shell 5 on the outer side, and a plurality of observation holes 51 are arranged on the protective shell 5. The protective shell 5 is used to avoid the splashing of debris generated by the friction between the polishing surface 31 and the ball pin to the human body during polishing. The observation holes 51 are helpful to assist the staff to observe whether the position of the ball pin polishing is correct during polishing, and to adjust in time.

[0040] Specifically, the ball pin polishing device further comprises a vibrating disc 6. The vibrating disc 6 is used to form a guide rail 61 connected with the feeding port 111. The ball pin is placed in the vibrating disc 6, and the vibrating disc 6 can sequentially deliver the ball pin out. The guide rail 61 can make the orientation of the ball pin uniform before the ball pin is delivered to the feeding port 111, so that the orientation of the ball pin is consistent when the ball pin enters the feeding port 111.

[0041] The above description is only some of the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and the explanation of the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the application involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combinations of the above technical features, and should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or equivalent features without departing from the above inventive concept. For example, the above features are replaced with the technical features disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure (but not limited to) having similar functions to form technical solutions.
