Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] use Figure 1This paper describes a chip removal device for automotive parts. Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the present invention. This chip removal device for automotive parts can remove chips from the cut parts of automotive components.

[0024] First, use Figures 1-2 The overall structure of this chip removal device for automotive parts is described. Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the top structure of the support platform 1 in this utility model.

[0025] The chip removal equipment for automotive parts includes a robotic arm 100, a cleaning spray gun 101 mounted on the robotic arm 100, a support platform 1, a protective frame 2, a workpiece tray 3, and a control system, wherein:

[0026] The control system is electrically connected to the robotic arm 100 and the cleaning spray gun 101 to control the coordinated operation of the chip removal equipment for automotive parts.

[0027] The support platform 1 is rectangular in shape and can be used to install the robotic arm 100. Specifically, the robotic arm 100 can be installed on the top of the support platform 1.

[0028] The protective frame 2 is located on the top surface of the support platform 1. The robotic arm 100 is located inside the protective frame 2. The protective frame 2 can cover and enclose the robotic arm 100 and the top of the support platform 1, so that the interior of the protective frame 2 forms a closed space. The cleaning spray gun 101 on the robotic arm 100 can operate inside the protective frame 2 and perform chip removal on the workpiece.

[0029] The workpiece tray 3 is used to mount the workpiece to be removed from the chip removal device. The workpiece tray 3 is movably mounted on the top surface of the support platform 1. In order to allow the workpiece tray 3 to reciprocate through the inside and outside of the protective frame 2, the protective frame 2 is provided with an opening and closing door 4 for the workpiece tray 3 to pass through, so that the workpiece tray 3 can reciprocate through the opening and closing door 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the workpiece is being de-chipped, the workpiece tray 3 moves through the opening and closing door 4 to the outside of the protective frame 2, and the workpiece is installed on the workpiece tray 3. At this time, the workpiece tray 3 can move through the opening and closing door 4 to the inside of the protective frame 2, and then the robotic arm 100 drives the cleaning spray gun 101 to de-chip the workpiece on the workpiece tray 3.

[0031] When the chip removal process is complete, the workpiece tray 3 can be re-entered through the opening and closing door 4 and moved to the outside of the protective frame 2. The operator can then remove the chip-removed workpiece from the workpiece tray 3 and install the workpiece to be chipped. This cyclical process allows for efficient chip removal of the workpiece. Furthermore, the protective frame 2 isolates the workpiece from the external environment, preventing the spillage of iron filings and ensuring the safety of the working environment. In addition, the robotic arm 100 drives the cleaning spray gun 101, enabling the removal of waste chips from the workpiece at any angle in space. This allows for the cleaning of dozens of types of workpieces, demonstrating good compatibility and consistent chip removal process even when using the same equipment.

In this embodiment, the workpiece tray drive telescopic cylinder 6 is electrically connected to the control system. The control system can control the workpiece tray drive telescopic cylinder 6 to extend or retract, thereby controlling the positional movement of the workpiece tray 3 and the workpieces on it.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the top structure of the support platform 1 in this utility model. To prevent iron filings from splashing inside the protective frame 2, the workpiece tray 3 is surrounded by a surrounding plate 7, which has an opening for the workpiece tray 3 to pass through. When the workpiece inside the protective frame 2 is being de-scraped, the surrounding plate 7 can shield the iron filings, thereby preventing them from splashing.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the top structure of the support platform 1 in this utility model. A collection space 8 is provided at the bottom of the workpiece tray 3. In this embodiment, a negative pressure recovery device can be connected to the bottom of the collection space 8 to generate negative pressure within the collection space 8, thereby enabling centralized collection and processing of iron filings.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the protective frame 2 in this utility model. An opening / closing door drive telescopic cylinder 9 is installed on the protective frame 2 to drive the opening / closing door 4 to rise and fall. The output end of the opening / closing door drive telescopic cylinder 9 is connected to the top of the opening / closing door 4. In this embodiment, the opening / closing door drive telescopic cylinder 9 is electrically connected to the control system, which can control the opening / closing door 4 to open or close automatically.
