Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and in particular to a feeding device for a processing indexing plate. Background Technology

[0002] CNC machine tools, short for numerical control machine tools, are automated machine tools equipped with a program control system. This control system logically processes programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, decodes them, represents them with coded numbers, inputs them to the CNC device via an information carrier, and after processing, the CNC device issues various control signals to control the machine tool's movements, automatically machining parts according to the shape and dimensions required by the drawings. However, the blanking of CNC machine tools is generally done manually, which poses certain risks to the production environment. With labor shortages and rising labor costs, some enterprises have already implemented automated blanking for CNC machine tools.

[0003] Most existing unloading devices have only one station for unloading workpieces. Each gripper can only grab and unload one workpiece at a time. The next operation can only be carried out after the unloading is completed, which limits the unloading speed and reduces the efficiency of the production line. This is especially slow when fast or batch unloading is required, and further improvement is needed. Therefore, a processing indexing plate unloading device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a processing indexing plate feeding device, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A machining indexing plate unloading device includes a base plate, a support column mounted on the upper left side of the base plate, a cross plate at the upper end of the support column, a rectangular groove at the left end of the support column, four electric cylinders arranged in a circular array at the upper end of the cross plate, the lower ends of the four electric cylinders all movably passing through the lower end of the cross plate and fixedly connected to electric grippers, and a rotating component mounted on the support column extending into the rectangular groove. The rotating component is used to drive the cross plate to rotate, thereby alternately clamping the workpiece.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating component includes a motor, which is mounted on a support column. The output end of the motor extends into a rectangular groove and is fixedly connected to a worm gear. The right end of the worm gear is movably connected to a bearing seat. The worm gear is meshed with a worm wheel. The lower end of the worm wheel is movably connected to the lower inner wall of the rectangular groove. A connecting rod is fixedly sleeved inside the worm wheel.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the connecting rod is movably inserted into the upper end of the support column and fixedly connected to the lower end of the cross plate.

[0009] Preferably, a hollow plate is installed at the rear end of the support column, a hot air blower is installed at the front upper end of the hollow plate, and two vertical plates are connected to the rear upper end of the hollow plate. Several air outlets are opened at the ends of the two vertical plates that are close to each other and at the upper end of the hollow plate.

[0010] Preferably, the exhaust end of the hot air blower extends into the hollow plate, and the hollow plate communicates with the vertical plate.

[0011] Preferably, the gripping end of the rear electric gripper is located between the two vertical plates.

[0012] Preferably, a conveyor is provided at the right end of the support column.

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

[0014] 1. By setting up rotating parts and cross plates to work together, work efficiency can be improved. After the electric gripper on the left side grabs the workpiece, the worm gear driven by the output end of the control motor rotates. The worm gear drives the worm wheel to rotate, the worm wheel drives the connecting rod to rotate, and the connecting rod drives the cross plate to rotate 45 degrees, so that the electric gripper on the front side rotates to the left side, and can then grab the next workpiece. There is no need to wait for the unloading to be completed before the next operation can be carried out, which improves the unloading speed, improves the efficiency of the production line, and facilitates subsequent rapid or batch unloading.

[0015] 2. By setting up a hot air blower, vertical plate, and hollow plate in combination, water stains on the surface of the workpiece can be dried. When the workpiece is rotated to the rear, the hot air blower is controlled to deliver hot air into the hollow plate and then discharges it from the air outlet, blowing it onto the surface of the workpiece to dry the moisture. Drying can remove moisture or other volatile substances from the surface of the workpiece, avoiding defects caused by moisture, such as rust, corrosion, or adhesion, in subsequent processing or treatment.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a processing indexing plate unloading device includes a base plate 1, a support column 2 installed on the upper left side of the base plate 1, a cross plate 4 provided on the upper end of the support column 2, a rectangular groove 7 opened on the left end of the support column 2, four electric cylinders 5 arranged in a circular array installed on the upper end of the cross plate 4, the lower ends of the four electric cylinders 5 all movably pass through the lower end of the cross plate 4 and are fixedly connected to electric grippers 6, and a rotating component 8 is installed on the support column 2, the rotating component 8 extending into the rectangular groove 7.

[0025] The rotating component 8 is used to drive the cross plate 4 to rotate. The rotating component 8 includes a motor 81, which is mounted on the support column 2. The output end of the motor 81 extends into the rectangular groove 7 and is fixedly connected to a worm gear 82. The right end of the worm gear 82 is movably connected to a bearing seat 83. The worm gear 82 is meshed with a worm wheel 84. The worm gear 82 and the worm wheel 84 have a self-locking property. The lower end of the worm wheel 84 is movably connected to the lower inner wall of the rectangular groove 7 through a bearing. A connecting rod 85 is fixedly sleeved inside the worm wheel 84.

[0026] In use, it is installed on the left side of the indexing plate body 13. Four clamps 14 for fixing workpieces are installed on the indexing plate body 13. When the electric gripper 6 on the left side grabs the workpiece in the clamp 14 on the right side, the worm gear 82 driven by the output end of the control motor 81 rotates. The worm gear 82 drives the worm wheel 84 to rotate, the worm wheel 84 drives the connecting rod 85 to rotate, and the connecting rod 85 drives the cross plate 4 to rotate forty-five degrees, so that the electric gripper 6 on the front side rotates to the left side, and can then grab the next workpiece. There is no need to wait for the unloading to be completed before the next operation can be carried out, which improves the unloading speed, improves the efficiency of the production line, and facilitates subsequent rapid or batch unloading.

[0027] In addition, when there are water stains on the workpiece surface, to avoid defects caused by moisture during subsequent processing or treatment, such as rust, corrosion, or adhesion, a hollow plate 9 is installed at the rear end of the support column 2. A hot air blower 10 is installed at the front upper end of the hollow plate 9, and two vertical plates 11 are connected to the rear upper end of the hollow plate 9. Several air vents 12 are opened at the ends of the two vertical plates 11 that are close to each other and at the upper end of the hollow plate 9. The exhaust end of the hot air blower 10 extends into the hollow plate 9. The hollow plate 9 and the vertical plates 11 are connected. Similarly, the clamping end of the rear electric gripper 6 is located between the two vertical plates 11. When the workpiece rotates to the rear, the hot air blower 10 is controlled to deliver hot air into the hollow plate 9, and then it is discharged from the air outlet 12 and blown onto the surface of the workpiece to dry the moisture on its surface.
