Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining equipment technology, and in particular to a positioning mechanism between a grinding machine and a chamfering machine. Background Technology
[0002] With societal development, shipyards are increasingly emphasizing employee work efficiency while minimizing environmental pollution. During strip processing, carbonized particles and other impurities generated during strip cutting can affect subsequent processing. These are first cleaned using a grinding machine. The grinding machine uses an automatic grinding wheel to remove and grind away weld metal and other impurities generated during flame cutting at the edges of the strip. Then, the strip is fed into a chamfering machine to chamfer the long straight edges on both sides. However, there is a lack of a positioning mechanism between the grinding machine and the chamfering machine. The machine cannot automatically determine the strip's length, width, and the length of its irregularly shaped ends. Before entering the chamfering machine, the clamping and conveying of the strip are typically manually controlled. Therefore, a transition mechanism needs to be designed between the grinding machine and the chamfering machine to automatically identify and control the connection and conveying of the strip between them, replacing manual labor. Thus, a positioning mechanism between the grinding machine and the chamfering machine is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

The end of the front conveyor roller is connected to the end of the rear conveyor roller by a chain, and one end of the conveyor roller is connected to a conveyor motor below the guide roller support by a chain.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a material stop support is provided above the guide roller support. A lifting roller seat is slidably connected to one side of the material stop support via a sliding rod. A counting roller is installed on the lifting roller seat, and the lifting action of the lifting roller seat is realized by a cylinder. A counter is installed at one end of the counting roller.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a baffle plate is slidably connected to the other side of the baffle bracket via a sliding rod, and the lifting and lowering action of the baffle plate is achieved by a cylinder.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the counting roller is located above the rear conveying roller.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the baffle plate is located behind the counting roller.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the guide roller support is equipped with opposing point laser sensors on both sides, and the point laser sensors are located behind the rear conveyor roller.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are schematic diagrams, not actual pictures. They should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In order to better illustrate the specific embodiments of the present invention, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the actual product size. It is understandable for those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. Based on the specific embodiments of the present invention, all other specific embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the positioning mechanism between the grinding machine and the chamfering machine includes a guide roller support 1. Conveying rollers 2 are installed on the guide roller support 1 in a front-to-back arrangement. The end of the front conveying roller 2 is connected to the end of the rear conveying roller 2 by a chain. One end of the conveying roller 2 is connected to a conveying motor below the guide roller support 1 by a chain.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in order to solve the problem of inconvenience in measuring the straight length of irregular parts at the ends of the strip, a baffle bracket 3 is installed above the guide roller support 1. A lifting roller seat 4 is slidably connected to one side of the baffle bracket 3 via a sliding rod. A counting roller 5 is installed on the lifting roller seat 4, and the lifting action of the lifting roller seat 4 is realized by a cylinder. A counter 6 is installed at one end of the counting roller 5. By controlling the counting roller 5 to press against the upper surface of the strip, when the roller conveyor moves the strip forward, the counter 6, which works in conjunction with the counting roller 5, can automatically calculate the straight length of each part of the strip.
[0026] Example 3
[0027] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in order to solve the problem of not being able to stop the moving strip and stabilize it in the designated position, the other side of the baffle bracket 3 is connected to the baffle plate 7 by means of a sliding rod, and the lifting action of the baffle plate 7 is realized by a cylinder. By setting the baffle plate 7, when the moving strip comes into contact with the baffle plate 7, it is convenient to stop the moving strip and stabilize it in the designated position.
[0028] Example 4
[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in order to solve the problem of large errors in strip measurement, the counting roller 5 is located above the rear conveying roller 2. By positioning the counting roller 5 above the rear conveying roller 2, the measurement accuracy of the strip during movement can be guaranteed.
[0030] Example 5
[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in order to solve the problem of the counting roller 5 being difficult to control stably pressing on the outside of the strip, the baffle plate 7 is located behind the counting roller 5. By placing the baffle plate 7 behind the counting roller 5, it is easier to control the counting roller 5 to stably press on the outside of the strip that is blocked by the baffle plate 7.
[0032] Example 6
[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in order to solve the problem of inconvenience in detecting whether the strip is in place when raising and lowering the baffle and counting roller, the guide roller support 1 is equipped with opposing point laser sensors 8 on both sides, and the point laser sensors 8 are located behind the rear conveying roller 2. By installing opposing point laser sensors 8 on both sides of the guide roller support 1, it is convenient to detect whether the strip has been conveyed to the correct position, thereby facilitating the control of raising and lowering the baffle and counting roller.
[0034] Example 7
[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, to solve the problem of inconvenience in calculating the length and width data of various parts of the strip, two inverted U-shaped brackets 9 are installed at the front and rear ends of the lifting roller seat 4. Four displacement sensors 10 are installed at the lower end of the inverted U-shaped brackets 9. The laser of the displacement sensor 10 is directed towards the roller, and the displacement sensors 10 are arranged in pairs facing each other. The opposite displacement sensors 10 are located in the front, rear, left, and right directions of the conveying rollers 2 at both ends. By setting displacement sensors 10 in the front, rear, left, and right directions of the conveying rollers 2 at both ends, it is convenient to calculate the length and width data of various parts of the strip during the conveying process.
[0036] In this embodiment, after the strip is conveyed by the conveyor motor driving the conveyor roller 2 below the guide roller support 1, the baffle plate 7 is below, at which point the strip is blocked by the baffle plate. When the dot laser sensor 8 detects that the strip has arrived, the roller conveyor line stops, then the lifting roller seat 4 presses down, the counting roller 5 presses against the upper surface of the strip, then the baffle plate 7 moves up, the roller conveyor restarts, and the strip is fed forward. During the process, the two displacement sensors 10 on the right side work to detect data changes. At the same time, in conjunction with the counter 6 of the counting roller 5, the number of displacement sensors can be automatically calculated. Based on the specific length of the changed part, that is, the straight length of the irregular part at the end of the strip, it continues to be conveyed to the straight edge of the strip. The width of the strip at the straight edge can also be detected. When the data changes again, the length of the straight edge can be calculated. It continues to be conveyed to the irregular edge at the end. The two displacement sensors 10 on the left side work to calculate the straight length of the irregular part at the end. After all the parts have been conveyed, the dot laser detects that the workpiece has been conveyed. The baffle plate 7 is automatically lowered. Finally, the data can be automatically transmitted to the control system of the chamfering machine. The chamfering machine can then automatically control when to clamp the workpiece and when to release the workpiece.
