[0002] In the gear ring production workshop, the quenching operation of gear rings is currently carried out manually, loading and unloading them one by one. This method requires a full-time worker for each machine. The operator manually picks up the gear ring, places it on the quenching machine, starts the machine, and after quenching, removes the gear ring and places another gear ring to be quenched, repeating the process. Because this method relies too heavily on manpower, it easily depletes the operator's physical strength, leading to decreased work efficiency or errors in the process. Utility Model Content

[0024] In this embodiment, the feeding hopper 2 includes a feeding hopper base 201 and a feeding hopper column 202. The feeding hopper base 201 is provided with the feeding hopper column 202. A second lifting mechanism 403 is slidably connected to one side of the feeding hopper column 202. A first positioning device 203 is provided on the second lifting mechanism 403.

[0028] In this embodiment, a first lifting mechanism 304 is slidably connected to one side of the feed bin column 302, and a second positioning device 303 is provided on the first lifting mechanism 304.
[0029] In this embodiment, a loading transfer platform 9 is provided between the loading bin 2 and the five-axis robot 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, a loading trolley 7 is provided below the loading bin 2.
[0031] In this embodiment, a feeding trolley 8 is provided below the feeding bin 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, the five-axis manipulator 1 is a horizontal joint type structure.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Approximately 50 gear rings 6 to be quenched are hoisted onto the loading trolley 7 at once. The loading trolley 7 is pushed into the first positioning device 203 of the loading bin 2, and the manual valve is turned to lock the loading trolley by the cylinder. The loading completion confirmation button is pressed, and the second lifting mechanism 403 lifts the gear rings 6 to the designated height. After the transfer mechanism 4 removes the uppermost gear ring 6, the second lifting mechanism 403 of the loading bin 2 rises by one gear ring height. After the gear rings in the loading bin 2 reach the designated height, the transfer mechanism 4... The uppermost gear ring is grabbed and transferred to the loading transfer platform 9 for later use. After the gear ring on the loading transfer platform 9 is used, the transfer mechanism 4 grabs the uppermost gear ring 6 of the loading bin 2 again and transfers it to the loading transfer platform 9. The empty lifting device is placed on another unloading trolley 8, pushed into the second positioning device 303 of the unloading bin 3, and the manual valve is turned to lock the unloading trolley 8 by the cylinder. The lifting device positioning confirmation button is pressed, and the first lifting mechanism 304 rises to the designated height. The start button on the touch screen is clicked, and the five-axis robot 1 starts to operate, first grabbing the uppermost gear ring 6 of the loading bin 2. The spare gear ring on the transfer platform 9 is moved to the quenching machine 5. During the movement, the five-axis robot arm 1 is rotated. Upon reaching the quenching machine 5, it grabs the quenched gear ring and rotates the robot arm 1 to place the gear ring to be quenched onto the quenching fixture. Then, the robot arm moves to the unloading bin 3. During the movement, the robot arm is rotated and the quenching machine is started. Upon reaching the unloading bin, the quenched gear ring is stacked on the first lifting mechanism 304 of the unloading bin 3. Then, the robot arm moves to the loading transfer platform 9 to grab a new gear ring to be quenched. At the same time, the first lifting mechanism 304 of the unloading bin 3... The lowering mechanism 304 lowers one gear ring height. The robotic arm grabs the gear ring to be quenched and repeats the above action until all the gear rings in the loading bin 2 are quenched. When all the gear rings are quenched and stacked in the unloading bin, the second lifting mechanism of the unloading bin 3 lowers to the lowest point. At this time, the unloading trolley 8 in the unloading bin 3 is unlocked and pulled out to the next process. Then, the loading trolley 7 in the loading bin 2 after the empty gear ring is taken out is unlocked, and another lifting gear ring is locked into the loading bin 2 through the loading trolley 7. The quenching operation can then be automatically repeated.
[0034] In summary, this invention not only reduces labor intensity but also reduces operator hand-operation time and increases the output of gear rings.
