Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch manufacturing technology, specifically to a deburring device for manufacturing automotive rotary switches. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of switches, deburring is a very critical process step, especially after injection molding or stamping. Irregular edges or burrs may be generated on the product surface, which not only affects the appearance quality, but may also affect the performance and safety of the product.
[0003] Currently, some automotive rotary switch structures require high precision in the machining of their knobs. Traditional deburring methods for rotary switches mostly involve vibration to bring the knob into contact with abrasive or deburring tools to remove burrs. While this method is suitable for mass production, the deburring effect often varies across batches of knobs. Furthermore, due to the structural characteristics of rotary switch knobs, which often have grooves or through holes, abrasive can easily accumulate or even clog the through holes during deburring, reducing the stability and uniformity of the deburring process. In addition, deburring a small number of knobs requiring rework or secondary deburring requires a considerable amount of time, resulting in inconvenience and unsuitability. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0018] See Figure 1-2 This embodiment relates to a deburring device for the production of automotive knob 110 switches, including a base 100 and a fixing frame 101 thereon, as well as a clamping assembly 3 that moves in different directions by a first driving component 1 and a second driving component 2 thereon on the base 100 and the fixing frame 101 respectively, and a deburring assembly 4 placed above the clamping assembly 3.
[0019] Specifically in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2The overall structure of this deburring device for manufacturing automotive knob 110 switches is designed such that, in actual use, the knob 110 can be fitted and fixed by the clamping assembly 3 on the base 100. The operation panel 102 on the base 100 controls the first drive component 1 and the second drive component 2 to move the clamping assembly 3 and the deburring assembly 4 in different directions along the base 100 and the fixing frame 101, respectively. This allows the deburring process of the knob 110 clamped by the clamping assembly 3 on the base 100 to be deburred by the deburring assembly 4 on the fixing frame 101. Specifically, the first drive component 1 on the base 100 uses a ball screw drive. The drive clamping assembly 3 slides back and forth along the base 100. The second drive component 2 on the fixed frame 101 is set with a ball screw combined with a synchronous belt slide 1011 structure. It includes two sets of second drive motors that are set in different directions of the fixed frame 101 and drive the deburring assembly 4 to slide up and down and left and right along the slide 1011 structure set in the corresponding direction of the fixed frame 101. Then, the first drive component 1 and the second drive component 2 are controlled by the operation panel 102 on the base 100, and the clamping assembly 3 is driven to move along the deburring assembly 4 and the deburring assembly 4 performs the deburring process on the knob 110 clamped on the clamping assembly 3 at the corresponding position. Compared to traditional deburring methods that use vibration to bring the knob 110 into contact with abrasive or deburring tools, this deburring device effectively avoids unnecessary impacts on the deburring process caused by abrasive accumulation or even clogging of the through holes in the knob 110. Through the structural arrangement of the clamping component 3 and the deburring component 4, and the corresponding driving method of the first driving component 1 and the second driving component 2, the deburring effect and accuracy of the knob 110 in the production of knob 110 switches can be further improved, ensuring the stability and uniformity of the deburring process of the knob 110. At the same time, it is not affected by the number of knobs 110, making it convenient to operate and having high applicability and flexibility of use.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the clamping assembly 3 includes a first connecting seat 31 slidably disposed on the base 100 and connected to the first driving component 1, and a gripper cylinder 32 mounted on the first connecting seat 31. The gripper cylinder 32 has multiple sets of grippers 33 with slots 331 for adapting to the knob 110. The gripper cylinder 32 is connected to an air pump 301 on the base 100 via multiple air pipes 30, thereby driving the multiple sets of grippers 33 to open and close under the operation of the air pump 301. The knob 110 can be placed between the multiple sets of grippers 33 on the gripper cylinder 32 and, during the clamping process, performs a corresponding locking process through the adapting slots 331, thus driving the first driving component 1 on the base 100. The first connecting seat 31 and the knob 110 held by the clamping cylinder slide along the machine base 100 in the corresponding direction. At the same time, the second driving component 2 on the fixed frame 101 drives the deburring assembly 4 to move in different directions for subsequent deburring. After the deburring work of the deburring assembly 4 is completed, the knob 110 held by the clamping cylinder through multiple sets of jaws 33 is switched or adjusted. The clamping assembly 3 with this structure has a certain clamping stability and can further improve the convenience and efficiency of adjusting and switching the knob 110. At the same time, it does not affect the normal deburring process of the deburring assembly 4 at the corresponding position of the knob 110, ensuring the working efficiency and working stability of the deburring assembly 4.
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the gripper cylinder 32 is also provided with a fixed seat 34 mounted on multiple sets of grippers 33, and the fixed seat 34 has a second slot 341. The addition of the fixed seat 34 on the multiple sets of grippers 33 allows for the corresponding clamping process according to the different sizes of knobs 110 through the corresponding second slot 341. At the same time, combined with the multiple sets of grippers 33 on the gripper cylinder 32, the clamping effect and structural adaptability of the multiple sets of grippers 33 can be further improved to meet different clamping requirements. Meanwhile, the fixed seat 34 is detachably connected to the multiple sets of grippers 33 through bolts, which facilitates disassembly and replacement of corresponding models, while also providing a certain degree of protection for the grippers 33 and improving the clamping stability of the clamping assembly 3.
[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the deburring assembly 4 includes a second connecting seat 41 slidably mounted on the fixed frame 101 and connected to the second driving component 2, and an electric grinder formed by a grinding head 42 driven to rotate by a third driving component 43 mounted on the second connecting seat 41. The grinding head 42, mounted on the second connecting seat 41 and driven to rotate by the third driving component 43, can move in corresponding directions along the fixed frame 101 using two sets of drive motors in the second driving component 2, performing a deburring process on the knob 110 held by multiple sets of jaws 33 on the jaw cylinder 32 in the clamping assembly 3 at corresponding positions. Figure 2 As can be seen, the electric grinder structure formed by the grinding head 42 driven to rotate by the third driving component 43 can be easily switched and adjusted according to different usage needs. Moreover, the structure of this deburring component 4 is simple, which effectively improves the operator's speed and efficiency.
[0023] The second connecting seat 41 is also equipped with an electric polishing machine formed by a polishing head 44 driven to rotate by a fourth driving component 45. The polishing head 44 has an annular groove 441 and a concave hole 442. After the electric polishing machine on the second connecting seat 41 polishes the knob 110 held on the clamping assembly 3, the electric polishing machine formed by the polishing head 44 driven to rotate by the fourth driving component 45 on the second connecting seat 41 can perform a subsequent polishing process on the knob 110 held on the clamping assembly 3. This can improve the functional diversity of this deburring assembly 4 according to different usage needs. In addition, the annular groove 441 and concave hole 442 on the polishing head 44 can be adapted to the structural characteristics of the knob 110, further improving the comprehensiveness of deburring at the corresponding position of the knob 110, meeting different usage needs, and improving the applicability and practicality of the deburring assembly 4.
[0024] The grinding head 42 and polishing head 44 are respectively mounted on the third drive component 43 and the fourth drive component 45 via detachable structures. The electric grinder is mounted on the second connecting seat 41 via a detachable structure. Figure 4 As can be seen, the electric grinder and electric polisher structure formed on the second connecting seat 41 can be combined with the connecting head structure set at the corresponding position to facilitate the installation, disassembly, replacement or switching of different models of the corresponding grinding head 42 and polishing head 44. Combined with the clamping head 411 for locking the electric grinder by bolt connection on the second connecting seat 41, it is convenient to adjust the position of the electric grinder at different heights and lock the corresponding position, thereby further improving the structural detachability and disassembly flexibility of this deburring component 4, facilitating daily inspection and later maintenance, and improving the effect and stability of the deburring component 4.
[0025] The aforementioned gripper cylinder 32, electric grinder, and electric polisher are configured in multiple sets, from Figure 1-2 As can be seen, the electric grinder and electric polisher structure formed on the gripper cylinder 32 and the second connecting seat 41 in the clamping assembly 3 can be configured in multiple groups according to different usage requirements, thereby enabling a certain number of knobs 110 to be deburred simultaneously. This provides high efficiency and applicability for a certain batch of knobs 110 in the production process of knob 110 switches. In addition, the process of picking up the knobs 110 from the multiple grippers 33 in the gripper cylinder 32 can also be combined with the matching robotic arm set on the production line to automatically pick up and deburr the knobs 110 in a continuous workflow according to production needs, further improving the working efficiency of this deburring device for automotive knob 110 switch production and meeting different usage environments and requirements.
