Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of laser engraving equipment technology, specifically a ring-shaped workpiece feeding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Laser engraving machines generate a high-intensity laser beam through a laser generator. This laser beam is focused by an optical system to form an extremely small spot. When the spot shines on the material surface, the high-energy laser beam causes the material to melt, vaporize, or reach its ignition point rapidly, thus leaving a permanent mark or cutting out the desired shape on the material surface.
[0003] When processing the outer surface of a ring-shaped part, existing engraving machines typically require manual placement of the part onto a clamping fixture. The fixture is then used to clamp the inner surface of the ring-shaped part, which is then transported to the laser head for processing by a robotic arm. This manual clamping of the ring-shaped part is inefficient, not conducive to automated production, and can easily cause injury. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a ring-shaped workpiece feeding mechanism. The ring-shaped workpiece is transported to a straight plate via a conveying mechanism and blocked by the higher end of an arc plate. A lifting column then lifts the workpiece above the higher end of the arc plate. A transfer mechanism then moves the workpiece from a horizontal to a vertical position via the arc plate, where it is clamped by a fixture. Rotating the fixture allows for the processing and engraving of the ring-shaped workpiece's surface. This method reduces manual labor, increases automation, improves efficiency, and avoids injury.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a ring-shaped workpiece feeding mechanism, including a clamp and a conveying mechanism, wherein the conveying mechanism is provided with a material-stopping slide plate at the output end; the material-stopping slide plate includes a straight plate and an arc plate, the straight plate is aligned with the conveying mechanism, the upper end of the arc plate is higher than the surface of the straight plate, and a lifting column is provided between the arc plate and the straight plate; a transfer mechanism is provided on the arc plate, the transfer mechanism being used to transport the ring-shaped workpiece to the clamp.
[0006] Preferably, the arc plate is a semi-circular plate.
[0007] Preferably, the straight plate has a through hole at one end near the arc plate, and the lifting column is located below the through hole.
[0008] Preferably, the transfer mechanism includes a rotating arm that rotates along the arc direction of the arc plate, and a locking post is provided at one end of the rotating arm, the locking post being located above the through hole.
[0009] Preferably, the rotating arm is provided with a sliding groove, a sliding rod is provided in the sliding groove, a locking pin is provided at one end of the sliding rod, and a push cylinder is connected to the sliding rod.
[0010] Preferably, the clamp includes two opposing clamping blocks, with the gap between the two clamping blocks aligned with the locking post.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] (1) The ring part is transported to the straight plate by the material conveying mechanism and blocked by the higher end of the arc plate. The ring part is lifted to the higher end of the arc plate by the lifting column. Then, the ring part is changed from horizontal to vertical by the transfer mechanism through the arc plate. Then, it is clamped by the fixture. The surface of the ring part can be processed and engraved by rotating the fixture. This reduces manual labor, improves the automation rate, and is highly efficient. At the same time, it avoids the problem of injury caused by human operation.
[0013] (2) After the lifting column raises the ring piece to the higher end of the arc plate, the ring piece fits perfectly on the clamping column. The rotating arm rotates, causing the clamping column to rotate along the surface of the arc plate, bringing the ring piece to the lower end of the arc plate. The sliding rod is pushed out of the sliding groove by the push cylinder, causing the clamping column to move onto the fixture.
[0014] (3) The fixture includes two opposing clamping blocks. After the pin moves onto the fixture, the ring-shaped part on the pin enters the gap between the two clamping blocks. After moving one of the clamping blocks to bring the ring-shaped part off the pin, it presses against the other clamping block to hold the ring-shaped part. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0026] Example
[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 An example of a ring-shaped workpiece feeding mechanism will be described, such as... Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the device includes a clamp 1 and a feeding mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 2 has a baffle plate 3 at its output end. The baffle plate 3 includes a straight plate 31 and an arc plate 32. The straight plate 31 is aligned with the feeding mechanism 2, and the upper end of the arc plate 32 is higher than the surface of the straight plate 31. A lifting column 5 is provided between the arc plate 32 and the straight plate 31. A transfer mechanism 4 is provided on the arc plate 32. The transfer mechanism 4 is used to transport the annular part to the clamp 1. The arc plate 32 is a semi-circular plate.
[0028] The ring-shaped part is transported to the straight plate 31 by the material conveying mechanism 2 and blocked by the higher end of the arc plate 32. The ring-shaped part is lifted to the higher end of the arc plate 32 by the lifting column 5. Then, the ring-shaped part is changed from horizontal to vertical by the transfer mechanism 4 and the arc plate 32. It is then held by the clamp 1. The surface of the ring-shaped part can be processed and engraved by rotating the clamp 1. This reduces manual labor, improves automation, and is highly efficient. At the same time, it avoids the problem of injury caused by human operation.
[0029] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the straight plate 31 has a through hole 33 at one end near the arc plate 32, and the lifting column 5 is located below the through hole 33.
[0030] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the transfer mechanism 4 includes a rotating arm 41 that rotates along the arc direction of the arc plate 32. One end of the rotating arm 41 is provided with a locking post 44, which is located above the through hole 33. The rotating arm 41 is provided with a sliding groove 42, and a sliding rod 43 is provided in the sliding groove 42. The locking post 44 is located at one end of the sliding rod 43, and the sliding rod 43 is connected to a push cylinder 45.
[0031] After the lifting column 5 lifts the ring piece to the higher end of the arc plate 32, the ring piece fits perfectly onto the locking column 44. The rotating arm 41 rotates, causing the locking column 44 to rotate along the surface of the arc plate 32, bringing the ring piece to the lower end of the arc plate 32. The push cylinder 45 pushes the slide rod 43 out of the slide groove 42, causing the locking column 44 to move onto the clamp 1.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the clamp 1 includes two opposing clamping blocks 11, with the gap between the two clamping blocks 11 aligned with the locking post 44. After the locking post 44 moves onto the clamp 1, the annular piece attached to the locking post 44 enters the gap between the two clamping blocks 11. Moving one of the clamping blocks 11 removes the annular piece from the locking post 44 and then presses it against the other clamping block 11, clamping the annular piece.
