Saw blades can be categorized into diamond saw blades for stone cutting, high-speed steel saw blades for metal cutting, and blades for cutting solid wood, furniture, engineered wood, aluminum alloys, and aluminum profiles. When replacing saw blades, one method involves a robot removing the blade from the saw blade spindle, transporting it to a recycling station, and then feeding a new blade onto the spindle. This method significantly reduces the efficiency of saw blade replacement. Another method uses two robots, one to retrieve the blade and the other to load it. While this method improves efficiency, it requires two robots for transport, making it too costly. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a saw blade placement mechanism. When the robot suspends the old saw blade on the hanging block, the drive component drives the placement box to rotate, rotating the new saw blade on the other side of the hanging block to the robot. Then the robot removes the new saw blade and carries it back to the saw blade spindle for installation. This method can be achieved by only one robot, improving efficiency while reducing costs.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1 This utility model provides an embodiment of a saw blade placement mechanism, including a placement box 1. Hanging blocks 2 for suspending saw blades are fixed to both the left and right sides of the placement box 1. One hanging block 2 is used to suspend a new saw blade, and the other hanging block 2 is used to suspend an old saw blade removed from the saw blade spindle by a robot. A mounting box 3 is provided below the placement box 1. The mounting box 3 contains a drive assembly for rotating the placement box 1. The drive assembly enables the placement box 1 to rotate, facilitating subsequent robot handling. When the robot suspends the old saw blade on the hanging block 2, the drive assembly rotates the placement box 1, bringing the new saw blade on the other hanging block 2 to the robot. The robot then removes the new saw blade and transports it back to the saw blade spindle for installation, improving replacement efficiency.

[0027] like Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the driving assembly includes a first motor 42 fixed inside the mounting box 3 by a first fixing plate 41. The output shaft of the first motor 42 is connected to a reducer 43. The reducer 43 can be of model BX-320C, but is not limited to this. The first motor 42 can drive the reducer 43 to start, thereby driving the placement box 1 to rotate. The output shaft of the reducer 43 penetrates the top of the mounting box 3 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement box 1.

[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 4In one embodiment of this utility model, the driving assembly includes a rotating shaft 44 disposed within a mounting box 3. Both the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 44 are connected to bearings in the mounting box 3 to facilitate rotation. The upper end of the rotating shaft 44 penetrates the top of the mounting box 3 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement box 1. A worm gear 45 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 44 within the mounting box 3. The worm gear 45 is driven by a worm 46, so that the rotation of the worm 46 drives the worm gear 45 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 44 to rotate. A second fixing plate 47 is fixed inside the mounting box 3, and a second motor 48 for driving the worm 46 to rotate is fixed on the second fixing plate 47. Starting the second motor 48 drives the worm 46 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm gear 45 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 44 to rotate, and consequently drives the placement box 1 to rotate.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, the hanging block 2 is provided with a baffle 5 for blocking the saw blade. The top of the baffle 5 has a limiting protrusion 51 to facilitate the limiting of the saw blade on the hanging block 2. The top of the limiting protrusion 51 is higher than the bottom of the hanging block 2, so that the saw blade can be squeezed and limited on the placement box 1 by the limiting protrusion 51. The placement box 1 is provided with a moving component for moving the baffle 5. When the saw blade is suspended on the hanging block 2, the moving component drives the baffle 5 to move closer to the saw blade, so that the saw blade can be squeezed and limited on the placement box 1, preventing the saw blade from falling off the hanging block 2 when the placement box 1 rotates. When it is necessary to remove the saw blade from the hanging block 2, the moving component drives the baffle 5 to move away from the saw blade, releasing the squeezing of the saw blade, and the robot removes the saw blade.

[0030] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 In one embodiment of this utility model, the moving component includes a telescopic cylinder 61 fixed on a mounting plate 11 inside the placement box 1, used to drive the baffle 5 to move. The push rod of the telescopic cylinder 61 is connected to a telescopic shaft via a floating joint 62. The floating joint 62 enables the push rod of the telescopic cylinder 61 to extend and retract stably. The telescopic shaft is used to connect the baffle 5. The end of the telescopic shaft penetrates the placement box 1 and the hanging block 2 and is fixedly connected to the baffle 5. The telescopic cylinder can drive the floating joint 62 to move, thereby driving the telescopic shaft to move, and thus driving the baffle 5 to move.

[0031] like Figure 7In one embodiment of this utility model, the moving component includes a third motor 63 fixed on a mounting plate 11 inside the placement box 1. A lead screw 64 is connected to the output end of the third motor 63, and a movable sleeve 65 is mounted on the lead screw 64. Rotation of the lead screw 64 can drive the movable sleeve 65 to move. The end of the movable sleeve 65 penetrates the placement box 1 and the hanging block 2 and is fixedly connected to the baffle 5. The third motor 63 can drive the lead screw 64 to rotate, thereby driving the movable sleeve 65 to move, and in turn, driving the baffle 5 to move.

[0032] like Figure 8 In one embodiment of this utility model, baffles 7 are fixed on both the left and right sides of the placement box 1. The baffles 7 can block the saw blade when the baffle 5 squeezes it, thus preventing the saw blade from being squeezed and deformed. The hanging block 2 penetrates the baffles 7.

[0033] like Figure 9 In one embodiment of this utility model, the four corners of the bottom of the mounting box 3 are all fixed with casters 8, which are used to drive the placement mechanism to move.

[0034] The motor, floating joint, worm gear, telescopic cylinder, and lead screw in this utility model are all existing technologies, which are already clearly understood by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here. Moreover, this utility model protects the structural features of a saw blade placement mechanism.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of this application. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model should be included in the scope of the present utility model.
