Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Example: An automated loading and unloading device for CNC machine tools, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the system includes a CNC machine tool 4, a controller 5, a motor 6, a first cylinder 7, a connecting piece 8, a second cylinder 9, a third cylinder 10, a mechanical clamp 11, and a conveying mechanism. The controller 5 is mounted on one side of the CNC machine tool 4, and a conveying mechanism for transporting workpieces is also located on one side of the CNC machine tool 4. A motor 6 is positioned between the CNC machine tool 4 and the conveying mechanism. A first cylinder 7 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 6. The piston rod of the first cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 8. Second cylinders 9 are mounted on opposite sides of the connecting piece 8. The second cylinders 9 are connected to the CNC machine tool 4 and the conveying mechanism. The mechanism is vertical. The piston rod of cylinder 9 is connected to cylinder 10. A mechanical clamp 11 is installed on the piston rod of cylinder 10, located above the conveying mechanism. Here, the motor 6 is designed to only drive cylinder 7 and its connected components to rotate 180 degrees, allowing the two cylinders 9 connected to cylinder 7 via connector 8 to exchange positions. After motor 6 drives cylinder 7 to complete one rotation, it needs to drive cylinder 7 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that cylinder 7 drives the connected cylinder 9 back to its initial position. This ensures the continuity and smoothness of the loading and unloading of the device.
[0024] As Figures 2-3 shown, the mechanical clamp 11 is composed of a fixed part, a traction rod, two clamping plates and multiple articulated rods. The traction rod of the mechanical clamp 11 is connected to the piston rod of the third air cylinder 10. When the piston rod of the third air cylinder 10 extends, it drives the traction rod to move, which in turn drives the articulated rods on the mechanical clamp 11 to move successively, causing the two clamping plates on the mechanical clamp 11 to move away from each other. When the piston rod of the third air cylinder 10 retracts, the two clamping plates of the mechanical clamp 11 move closer to each other. Here, during the operation of the device, the third air cylinder 10 is started, the piston rod of the third air cylinder 10 extends outward, the piston rod of the third air cylinder 10 drives the left mechanical clamp 11 to open, allowing the workpiece to enter the clamping range of the mechanical clamp 11. Then the piston rod of the third air cylinder 10 retracts inward, and the piston rod of the third air cylinder 10 drives the mechanical clamp 11 to clamp and fix the workpiece.
[0025] As Figure 1 shown, the conveying mechanism includes a first conveying belt 1 and a second conveying belt 2. The CNC machine tool 4 is provided with the first conveying belt 1 on one side, and the first conveying belt 1 is provided with the second conveying belt 2 on one side in parallel. The first conveying belt 1 and the second conveying belt 2 are both electrically connected with the controller 5. The surface of the conveying belt of the first conveying belt 1 is provided with anti-skid lines to increase the friction between the raw materials and the first conveying belt 1. Here, the design of the anti-skid lines of the first conveying belt 1 can increase the friction between the raw materials and the first conveying belt 1, prevent the raw materials from shifting or falling during the conveying process, ensure the accurate clamping of the raw materials by the mechanical clamp 11, and improve the smoothness of the feeding and discharging work.
[0026] As Figure 3 shown, the first conveying belt 1 is provided with a photoelectric sensor 3. The first conveying belt 1 is provided with a transmitter of the photoelectric sensor 3 on one side, and the side opposite to the transmitter of the photoelectric sensor 3 is provided with a receiver of the photoelectric sensor 3. The photoelectric sensor 3 corresponds to the mechanical clamp 11. Here, the photoelectric sensor 3 is electrically connected with the controller 5. When the raw materials move to the photoelectric sensor 3, the raw materials block the light beam emitted by the transmitter of the photoelectric sensor 3. Then, after the receiver of the photoelectric sensor 3 captures the change of the light beam, the photoelectric sensor 3 sends an electrical signal to the controller 5. After receiving the signal, the controller 5 controls the first conveying belt 1 to stop, so that the raw materials on the first conveying belt 1 stop moving, facilitating the clamping work of the mechanical clamp 11. Thus, the first conveying belt 1 can respond quickly, convey accurately, improve the working precision and efficiency.
[0027] As Figure 2 shown, the mechanical clamp 11 is provided with a buffer pad 12 for protecting the workpiece. Here, the buffer pad 12 is made of elastic rubber material. The design of the buffer pad 12 can form a buffer area between the mechanical clamp 11 and the workpiece, which can prevent the workpiece from falling and provide protection for the workpiece, preventing the workpiece from being damaged due to excessive clamping of the mechanical clamp 11.
[0028] As shown in Figure 4 The CNC machine tool 4 is provided with an electric sliding rail 1301, and the sliding block of the electric sliding rail 1301 is fixedly connected with a door plate 13 for blocking the CNC machine tool 4. Here, the electric sliding rail 1301 is started, the electric sliding rail 1301 drives the sliding block to slide outward, the sliding block of the electric sliding rail 1301 drives the connected door plate 13 to slide outward, so that the door plate 13 no longer blocks the CNC machine tool 4, thereby opening the CNC machine tool 4 to enter the working state. The design of the door plate 13 can block the CNC machine tool 4 when the device is on standby, prevent the precise instruments in the CNC machine tool 4 from being damaged, and prolong the service life of the device.
[0029] As shown in Figure 4 The top of the CNC machine tool 4 is provided with a signal lamp 14, and the signal lamp 14 is electrically connected with the controller 5. Here, when the device is running, the controller 5 controls the start of the signal lamp 14, the signal lamp 14 emits bright light with warning effect, thereby reminding the workers, preventing the workers from approaching too much, ensuring the stable operation of the detection work and the safety of the workers.
[0030] The device is used for feeding and discharging of CNC machine tool. When in use, the workpiece raw material is conveyed to the front of the left mechanical clamp 11 by the first conveying belt 1, then the first cylinder 7 is started, the piston rod of the first cylinder 7 is retracted inward, the piston rod of the first cylinder 7 drives the connecting piece 8 to move downward, the connecting piece 8 drives the connected second cylinder 9 to move downward, and then drives the connected third cylinder 10 to move downward, so that the mechanical clamp 11 moves downward with the third cylinder 10, at the same time, in the process of moving downward of the mechanical clamp 11, the left third cylinder 10 is started, the piston rod of the left third cylinder 10 extends outward, the piston rod of the left third cylinder 10 drives the left mechanical clamp 11 to open, so that the raw material enters the clamping range of the left mechanical clamp 11, then the piston rod of the left third cylinder 10 retracts inward, the piston rod of the left third cylinder 10 drives the left mechanical clamp 11 to clamp and fix the raw material on the first conveying belt 1, similarly, the right third cylinder 10 drives the right mechanical clamp 11 to clamp and fix the workpiece product on the CNC machine tool 4 through the extension and retraction of the piston rod, then the piston rod of the first cylinder 7 extends outward, the piston rod of the first cylinder 7 drives the second cylinder 9 connected through the connecting piece 8 to move upward, and then drives the third cylinder 10 to move upward, so that the left mechanical clamp 11 separates the workpiece raw material from the first conveying belt 1, and the right mechanical clamp 11 separates the workpiece product from the CNC machine tool 4, after completion, the second cylinder 9 is started, the piston rod of the second cylinder 9 retracts inward, the piston rod of the second cylinder 9 drives the connected third cylinder 10 to move inward, and then drives the mechanical clamp 11 to move inward, so that the right mechanical clamp 11 drives the workpiece product to exit the inside of the CNC machine tool 4, then the motor 6 is started, the motor 6 drives the output shaft to rotate, the output shaft of the motor 6 drives the connected first cylinder 7 to start rotating by 180 degrees, so that the left and right mechanical clamps 11 rotate with the first cylinder 7 to change positions, then the original left second cylinder 9 is started, the original left second cylinder 9 drives the original left mechanical clamp 11 to enter the inside of the CNC machine tool 4, then the first cylinder 7 drives the second cylinder 9 to move downward again, at the same time, the third cylinder 10 drives the corresponding mechanical clamp 11 to loosen the workpiece, so that the original left mechanical clamp 11 places the workpiece raw material on the machining position of the CNC machine tool 4, and the original right mechanical clamp 11 places the workpiece product on the second conveying belt 2, then the above operation is repeated, thereby completing the feeding and discharging work of the CNC machine tool.
