Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0023] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an automatic grinding device for a large fan includes a loading and unloading robot 8, a grinding robot 9, and a grinding fixture. The workpiece 12 to be ground is fixed on the grinding fixture, and a grinding component 10 for grinding the workpiece is fixed on the mounting end of the grinding robot 9.

[0024] The grinding component 10 in this invention is existing technology, including an electric motor and an electric grinding head. The electric grinding head is driven by the rotation of the main shaft of the electric motor to grind the workpiece.

[0025] In this invention, the loading / unloading robot 8 is used to grab the fan and place it on the grinding fixture. After grinding, the fan is removed. The grinding component 10 on the grinding robot 9 is used to grind the fan, including the circular surface and the side surface of the fan. The grinding fixture is used to support, fix, and clamp the fan to be ground. The loading / unloading robot 8, the grinding robot 9, and the grinding fixture work together to solve the inconvenience of manual handling. The grinding robot 9 automatically grinds the fan, improves grinding efficiency, realizes unmanned on-site management, and avoids workers directly contacting aluminum powder.

[0026] Furthermore, the grinding fixture includes a support 1, on which a fixed plate 2 is mounted. The fixed plate 2 has multiple grippers 3 capable of clamping workpieces. The grippers 3 are driven by a pneumatic cylinder 4 to open and close. A set of support columns 5 are located inside the grippers 3 and on the fixed plate 2. The grippers are driven by the pneumatic cylinder 4 to clamp and release the workpiece. Specifically, the fixed plate has multiple grippers 3 arranged in a circular array. The multiple grippers 3 are evenly distributed on the fixed plate 2, and the grippers 3 are arranged radially along the fixed plate 2. Figure 2 As shown, this utility model is equipped with 8 grippers.

[0027] The gripper 3 includes a clamping plate 31, a first connecting rod 32, a second connecting rod 33, a third connecting rod 34, a first connecting block 35, and a fixing post 36. The fixing post 36 is mounted on the chassis. Both sides of the fixing post 36 are rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 32. The middle part of the first connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 33. The second connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to both sides of one end of the first connecting block 35. Both sides of the other end of the first connecting block 35 are rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 34. The bottom of the first connecting block 35 is fixed to the piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder 4. The third connecting rod 34 is rotatably connected to the end of the clamping plate 31 away from the clamping end. The first connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the clamping plate 31. When the piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder 4 extends outward, it can move the clamping plate 31 along the radial direction of the fixed plate 2, thereby clamping it onto the workpiece. When the piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder 4 retracts, it can cause the clamping plate 31 to move in the opposite direction, causing the clamping plate 31 to detach from the workpiece and retract as a whole.

[0028] Furthermore, the pneumatic cylinder 4 is installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 2, and the fixed plate 2 is provided with a through hole. The piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder 4 passes through the through hole and is fixed to the first connecting block 35.

[0029] Furthermore, a spring positioning pin 6 matching the workpiece positioning hole 11 is provided in the middle of the fixed plate 2. The function of the spring positioning pin 6 is to achieve the initial positioning of the workpiece.

[0030] Furthermore, a set of support blocks 7 for supporting the workpiece is provided at the lower end of the fixed plate 2, which provides a certain support for the workpiece during grinding.

[0031] The processing steps of this utility model are as follows:

[0032] 1. The loading and unloading robot transports the fan workpiece to the grinding fixture. The spring positioning pin passes through the positioning hole on the fan workpiece, and the support block provides initial support for the workpiece.

[0033] 2. The PLC controls the action of 8 pneumatic cylinders, causing the piston rods of the pneumatic cylinders to extend, the pressure plate to move and clamp the fan workpiece;

[0034] 3. The PLC controls the movement of the grinding robot, and the grinding components rotate to start grinding the fan workpiece;

[0035] 4. When the grinding assembly interferes with the pressure plate, the PLC controls the cylinder corresponding to the pressure plate to retract and the gripper to release. After grinding this area, the PLC controls the cylinder to press it back up, and the power spindle grinds the next station.

[0036] 5. After grinding, the loading and unloading robot removes the fan workpiece and stacks it on a tray.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
