[0030] To better understand the concept of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0031] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an automated machining production line for tool holders, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a first CNC machine tool 1, a second CNC machine tool 2, a third CNC machine tool 3, a rivet loading and unloading device 4, and a robotic arm 5;
[0032] according to Figure 1 The first CNC machine tool 1 and the second CNC machine tool 2 are arranged opposite each other from left to right, the third CNC machine tool 3 and the rivet loading and unloading equipment 4 are arranged opposite each other from front to back, and the robotic arm 5 is arranged in the center of the space enclosed by the first CNC machine tool 1, the second CNC machine tool 2, the third CNC machine tool 3 and the rivet loading and unloading equipment 4.
[0033] The first CNC machine tool 1 is used to machine the end face A1, inner hole A2, outer cylindrical surface A3, and V-groove A4 of the tool holder. The workpiece machined by the first CNC machine tool 1 is as follows: Figure 8 As shown;
[0034] The second CNC machine tool 2 is used for machining the taper A5 and the internal threaded hole A6 of the tool shank. The workpiece machined by the second CNC machine tool 2 is as shown in Figure 9
[0035] The third CNC machine tool 3 is used for machining the driving groove A7, the locking threaded hole A8 and the end face internal hole A9 of the tool shank. The workpiece machined by the third CNC machine tool 3 is as shown in Figure 10
[0036] The pull pin mounting and dismounting device 4 is used for mounting or dismounting the pull pin on the tool shank.
[0037] The mechanical arm 5 is used for grabbing the tool shank.
[0038] The third CNC machine tool machines the driving groove, the locking threaded hole and the end face internal hole of the tool shank. The driving groove, the locking threaded hole and the end face internal hole are arranged at the straight shank and the middle part of the tool shank. Therefore, only one end of the taper shank of the tool shank can be fixed. However, the taper shank is a taper surface and cannot be fixed. The pull pin can be mounted on the tool shank. The pull pin is pulled tightly to fix the tool shank. The taper surface is used as a positioning surface. The machining of the driving groove, the locking threaded hole and the end face internal hole of the tool shank is completed. Therefore, the automatic machining production line is additionally provided with a pull pin mounting and dismounting device as shown in Figure 2 The pull pin mounting and dismounting device 4 includes a first spindle system 4-1 arranged vertically, a positioning chuck 4-2 capable of clamping the tool shank arranged horizontally, a pull pin seat 4-3 for placing the pull pin and a first sliding table 4-4. The lower end of the first spindle system 4-1 is connected with a lock head 4-5 capable of grabbing the pull pin. In order to prevent the lock head from forcibly grabbing the pull pin and causing damage to the pull pin, the lock head is connected with the first spindle system through a spring as shown in Figure 3 A clamping groove 4-6 for the pull pin is arranged in the lock head 4-5. A spring wave bead 4-7 capable of clamping the pull pin is arranged in the clamping groove 4-6 as shown in Figure 2 The first sliding table 4-4 is horizontally arranged above the pull pin seat 4-3 and the positioning chuck 4-2. The first spindle system 4-1 is slidingly connected with the first sliding table 4-4 and can move horizontally.
[0039] When the pull pin mounting and dismounting device mounts the pull pin, the pull pin is clamped in the lock head. The first spindle system drives the lock head with the pull pin to move towards the tool shank. After the tool shank pre-pull pin contacts, the first spindle system rotates the lock head to tighten the pull pin on the tool shank. The first spindle system drives the pull pin to move away from the tool shank. The pull pin is separated from the lock head by the elasticity of the spring wave bead.
[0040] When the pull pin mounting and dismounting device dismounts the pull pin, the first spindle system drives the lock head with the pull pin to move towards the tool shank until the spring wave bead in the lock head clamps the pull pin. The first spindle system drives the lock head to rotate to dismount the pull pin from the tool shank.
[0041] As shown in Figure 4 As shown, the third CNC machine tool 3 is a vertical machining center, the driving groove and locking threaded hole of the tool shank are on the outer side surface of the tool shank, and the end surface inner hole of the tool shank is on the end surface of the tool shank. Because the machining surfaces are different, the tool shank position needs to be adjusted after the driving groove and locking threaded hole of the tool shank are machined, and then the end surface inner hole of the tool shank can be machined. Therefore, the third CNC machine tool 3 includes a horizontally arranged first machining seat 3-1, a vertically arranged second machining seat 3-2, a vertically arranged second spindle system 3-3, and a second sliding table 3-4. The second spindle system 3-3 is slidably connected to the second sliding table 3-4 and can move up and down. The driving groove and locking threaded hole of the tool shank are machined by cooperation of the second spindle system 3-3 and the first machining seat 3-1, and the end surface inner hole of the tool shank is machined by cooperation of the second spindle system 3-3 and the second machining seat 3-2. Because different positions of the tool shank require different tools, a tool changing robot 3-5 and a tool magazine 3-6 are further arranged on the upper part of the third CNC machine tool 3 for changing tools on the second spindle system. When changing tools, the tool changing robot rotates to the tool magazine to grab the required tool, the tool changing robot clamps the second spindle system to change the tool on the second spindle system, the tool changing robot is rotated to make the tool changed from the second spindle system into the tool magazine, the required tool is grabbed from the tool magazine and installed on the second spindle system, and after the tool changing is completed, the second sliding table drives the second spindle system to move downward, the second spindle system moves toward the first machining seat and the second machining seat, and the second spindle system machines the driving groove, the locking threaded hole, and the end surface inner hole of the tool shank. In order to cooperate with the second spindle system to machine the tool shank, a third sliding table 3-7 is further included, and the first machining seat and the second machining seat are slidably arranged on the third sliding table 3-7. When the driving groove and the locking threaded hole of the tool shank are machined, the third sliding table drives the first machining seat to slide below the second spindle system, and when the end surface inner hole of the tool shank is machined, the third sliding table drives the second machining seat to slide below the second spindle system.
[0042] During the production and machining process, damaged tool shanks and draw bars may occur. Therefore, as shown in Figure 2 the draw bar mounting and dismounting device 4 further includes an NG material channel 4-10 for storing damaged draw bars and tool shanks.
[0043] As shown in Figure 3 the lower end of the first spindle system 4-1 is further provided with a blowing cleaning device 4-8 and a draw bar detection device 4-9 for detecting whether the draw bar is installed on the tool shank. The blowing cleaning device adopts a fan and an air nozzle structure, and is used for cleaning iron filings in the inner threaded hole of the just machined draw bar. The draw bar detection device includes a travel switch and an air cylinder, and the travel switch detects whether the draw bar is installed on the tool shank according to the travel of the piston rod of the air cylinder.
[0044] As shown in Figure 5As shown, both the first machining base 3-1 and the second machining base 3-2 include a tapered groove 3-8 for positioning the tapered shank of the tool holder. When the robotic arm inserts the tool holder, the tapered shank and the tapered groove cooperate to position the tool holder. At the bottom of each tapered groove 3-8, there is a cavity 3-9 communicating with the tapered groove 3-8. In each cavity 3-9, there is a clamping member 3-10 that can clamp the pull stud. The clamping member 3-10 includes a clamping petal 3-10-1 and a pull rod 3-10-2. The pull rod pulls the clamping petal to retract and clamp the pull stud. The pull rod pushes the clamping petal to extend and release the pull stud. The pull rod is driven by a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0045] Because the tool holder needs to be gripped and placed in different locations during the manufacturing process, and the gripping position and direction vary each time, using only one type of gripper will lead to gripping failure and the tool holder falling out. Figure 6 As shown, the robotic arm 5 includes a turntable 5-1. On the end face of the turntable 5-1, there are two-finger grippers 5-2, long three-finger grippers 5-3 and short three-finger grippers 5-4 respectively. The two-finger grippers 5-2 are used to radially grip the tool holder, and the long three-finger grippers 5-3 and short three-finger grippers 5-4 are used to axially grip the tool holder. The above gripper structure can also be used to process tool holders of different specifications.
[0046] The robotic arm 5 needs to switch between different grippers when grasping, such as in the processing production line. Figure 1 The diagram also includes a seat ring 9 for cooperating with the robotic arm 5 to flip the tool holder, and a transfer table 10 for storing the tool holder. The tool holders processed by the first machine tool and the second machine tool are in different positions, so after processing on the first machine tool, the tool holder needs to be flipped. The two-finger gripper puts the end of the tool holder with the LASIK into the seat ring, and the robotic arm uses a three-finger gripper to grab the tool holder, completing the flipping of the tool holder. When multiple tool holders need to be processed continuously, after the robotic arm grabs one tool holder and enters the next process, the robotic arm places the tool holder to be processed on the transfer table. After the tool holder in the process is processed, the robotic arm takes out the tool holder from the process and puts it into the next process, and then puts the tool holder on the transfer table, thereby realizing continuous processing of tool holders.
[0047] like Figure 1 The diagram also includes a blank material platform 11 for storing tool holder blanks and a finished product material platform 12 for storing finished tool holders.
[0048] The first numerical control machine tool 1 and the second numerical control machine tool 2 are horizontal numerical control machine tools of the same model, and the first numerical control machine tool 1 and the second numerical control machine tool 2 both comprise a tool holder 10 and a third spindle system 11, each third spindle system 11 is connected with a clamping chuck 12 capable of clamping a tool shank, and further comprises a fourth sliding table for driving the tool holder 10 to move towards the third spindle system 11, each tool holder 10 is provided with a tool corresponding to the tool shank to be machined, the clamping chuck 8 clamps the tool shank, the fourth sliding table drives the tool holder 10 to move towards the tool shank, and when the tool on the tool holder 10 contacts the tool shank, the third spindle system drives the tool shank to rotate, so as to machine the machined surface of the tool shank.
