Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of reflector plastic parts processing technology, specifically relating to a fully automatic plastic optical component production device. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of reflector plastic parts, fine carving is a common process for removing excess material and scrap. Currently, fine carving is mainly carried out using a fine carving machine. During the fine carving process, the cutting head needs to be replaced regularly.

[0003] Currently, replacing the cutter head usually requires stopping the machine, which not only affects production efficiency but may also cause the entire production line to stop, resulting in disrupted production rhythm and material waste. In addition, manual replacement of the cutter head also poses safety hazards and labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that in existing plastic mirror component processing, tool head replacement typically requires machine downtime and manual operation, posing safety hazards and impacting work efficiency, this invention provides a fully automated plastic optical component production device. This device automates tool head replacement, ensuring safe processing without machine downtime, and effectively improving work efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A fully automated plastic optical component production device includes a robotic arm, a mounting plate, a cutter head placement fixture disposed on top of the mounting plate, a cutter head cleaning fixture disposed beside the cutter head placement fixture, and a monitor for detecting the degree of cutter head wear.

[0007] The cutting head is fixed on the moving end of the robot arm. The cutting head placement fixture has several replacement sleeves for replacing new cutting heads and several placement sleeves for placing worn cutting heads.

[0008] Preferably, the blade cleaning fixture includes an annular seat and a pair of brushes disposed within the annular seat, the brushes being driven to rotate by a driving device.

[0009] Preferably, the driving device is a motor, which is fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate, and the rotating shaft of the motor passes through the mounting plate and is fixedly connected to the brush.

[0010] Preferably, the monitor is oriented towards the blade cleaning fixture.

[0011] Preferably, the cutter head has threads, and the replacement sleeve and the placement sleeve have threaded mounting holes in the middle that mate with the cutter head.

[0012] Preferably, the tooling for placing the cutter head includes a pair of vertical plates and a horizontal plate, with the pair of vertical plates fixed to the left and right sides of the lower end of the horizontal plate, respectively.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. By using robotic arms for precision carving, the footprint of the equipment is reduced, and space utilization is improved.

[0015] 2. The introduction of fully automatic tool changing fixtures and programs has automated the tool head replacement process, significantly reducing the need for manpower.

[0016] 3. The fully automated cutter head replacement process avoids production line downtime, maintains production rhythm, reduces material and time waste, and lowers production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] See Figure 1-2 A fully automated plastic optical component production device includes a robot arm 7, a mounting plate 9, a cutter head placement fixture 8 disposed on the top of the mounting plate 9, a cutter head cleaning fixture 2 disposed beside the cutter head placement fixture 8, and a monitor 1 for detecting the degree of cutter head wear.

[0022] The cutter head 4 is fixed on the moving end of the robot arm 7. The cutter head placement fixture 8 has several replacement sleeves 3 for replacing new cutter heads and several placement sleeves 5 for placing worn cutter heads.

[0023] The monitor is model BSY-500.

[0024] See Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the blade cleaning fixture 2 includes an annular seat 21 and a pair of brushes 22 disposed in the annular seat 21, the brushes 22 being driven to rotate by a driving device.

[0025] See Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the driving device is a motor 6, which is fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate 9, and the rotating shaft of the motor 6 passes through the mounting plate 9 and is fixedly connected to the brush 22.

[0026] See Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the monitor 1 is oriented toward the blade cleaning fixture 2.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, the cutter head 4 has threads, and the replacement sleeve 3 and the placement sleeve 5 have threaded mounting holes in the middle that mate with the cutter head 4; the threads are located at the top of the cutter head, and can be coupled with a robot arm by rotating in the opposite direction, and then the cutter head can be removed vertically.

[0028] See Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the cutter head placement fixture 8 includes a pair of vertical plates and a horizontal plate, with the pair of vertical plates fixed to the left and right sides of the lower end of the horizontal plate respectively.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The front end of the robotic arm is replaced with a precision carving device. Every five products are precision carved and moved to the top of the blade cleaning fixture. The blade then enters the cleaning fixture, where rotating brushes inside remove powder and debris from the blade surface, preventing misjudgment by the monitor due to powder adhesion. The blade is then placed in front of the monitor. Based on the saved initial image of the blade and historical usage data, the monitor parameters are set to a sensitivity of 45 and a grayscale of 60. If the blade wears to a certain extent, under these parameters, the monitor will detect that the difference between the blade and the initial image exceeds the set value. The robotic arm then runs the blade replacement program to replace the blade. Figure 2 As shown, one row of replacement sleeves 3 is used for the robot arm to replace the new cutter head, and another row of placement sleeves 5 is used to remove the cutter head. The replacement process is as follows: the robot arm is inserted into the placement sleeve 5, and the robot arm can remove the cutter head by slowly rotating in the opposite direction and rising.

[0030] The sleeve 5 contains the replaced cutter head 5. After the cutter head is removed, the robot arm moves to the replacement sleeve 3 for replacing the new cutter head. The robot arm rotates forward to replace the new cutter head.

[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
