Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a tool magazine for a tool distribution device. Background Technology

[0002] In steel processing, slitting machines are typically used to cut steel coils or plates into strips of the required specifications. Because the widths of the strips vary, the spacing between the blades needs to be adjusted using a blade holder during cutting. Currently, this is done manually by installing the blades and spacers onto the slitting machine's cutter shaft according to the arrangement. Different arrangements require disassembly and reassembly, resulting in high labor intensity and low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a tool magazine for a tool rack device that works in conjunction with a robotic arm to store and retrieve blades and spacers, thereby achieving automated production, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and improving production efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the tool magazine of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A tool magazine for a tool arranging device includes a housing with an open front. Inside the housing are several first chains and a drive mechanism for rotating the first chains. Several support rods for suspending blades or spacers are mounted on the first chains. A pushing mechanism is located within the housing, positioned along the rotation path of the first chains, and pushes the blades or spacers on the support rods towards a tool arranging robotic arm. A certain number of blades and spacers of different thicknesses are suspended on different support rods. When needed, the drive mechanism rotates the first chains, transporting the desired blade or spacer to the front of the pushing mechanism. The tool arranging robotic arm then removes the blade or spacer at the front, and the remaining blades or spacers are repositioned by the pushing mechanism to facilitate individual removal by the robotic arm. When retracting the blades, the robotic arm returns the blades or spacers to their corresponding support rods.

[0006] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a servo motor installed inside the housing. The servo motor is connected to a first drive sprocket via a reducer. The first drive sprocket is connected to two driven sprockets via a second chain. The two driven sprockets are symmetrically located on both sides of the first drive sprocket. The driven sprockets are connected to a second drive sprocket via a drive shaft. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the housing. A first reversing sprocket is pivotally connected to the housing directly above each of the two second drive sprockets. A second reversing sprocket pivotally connected to the housing is located on the axis of symmetry of the two second drive sprockets. The second reversing sprocket is lower than the first reversing sprocket and higher than the second drive sprocket. The first chain is sleeved on the second drive sprocket and the first and second reversing sprockets.

[0007] Preferably, a tensioning sprocket pivotally connected to the housing is provided between the first driving sprocket and the driven sprocket for tensioning the second chain.

[0008] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a cylinder, the tail of the cylinder body is hinged to the housing, the telescopic rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to a fork-shaped push rod, and a roller supporting the fork-shaped push rod is provided inside the housing.

[0009] Preferably, a front limiting plate is provided on the outward side of the support rod, and a rear baffle is provided on the inward side of the support rod.

[0010] Preferably, the support rod and the pins arranged at intervals on the first chain are integrally formed.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the enclosure is provided with a roller door for covering the open side of the enclosure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. The first chain carrying the blades and spacers is driven to rotate by the drive mechanism, and the blade-mounted robotic arm stores and retrieves the blades and spacers at the set position to realize automated production, thereby reducing the labor intensity of operators and improving production efficiency.

[0014] 2. The rotation path of the first chain is set by two second drive sprockets, two first reversing sprockets and one second reversing sprocket, which effectively utilizes the internal space of the housing and increases the storage capacity of the blades and spacers.

[0015] 3. After the blade or spacer on the front side is removed, the blade and spacer on the rear side can be pushed to the front side of the support rod in time by the pushing mechanism to fill the gap, so as to facilitate the gripping of the blade-arranging robotic arm.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a tool magazine for a tool rack includes a housing 1 with an open front. A roll-up door 2 is installed on the top of the housing to cover the open side. Two symmetrical drive mechanisms 3 are installed inside the housing. Each drive mechanism includes a servo motor 31 installed inside the housing. The servo motor is connected to a first drive sprocket 32 ​​via a reducer. The first drive sprocket is connected to two driven sprockets 34 via a second chain 33. The two driven sprockets are symmetrically located on both sides of the first drive sprocket. A tensioning sprocket 35, pivotally connected to the housing, is arranged between the first drive sprocket and the driven sprockets to tension the second chain. The driven sprockets are connected to the second drive sprockets 37 via a drive shaft 36. Bearing seats 11, fixed to the housing, are sleeved on both sides of the drive shaft. A first reversing sprocket 38, pivotally connected to the housing, is arranged directly above each of the two second drive sprockets. A second reversing sprocket 39, pivotally connected to the housing, is arranged on the symmetrical axis of the two second drive sprockets. The second reversing sprocket is lower than... The first reversing sprocket is higher than the second driving sprocket. The second driving sprocket and the first and second reversing sprockets are connected to the first chain 4. Several support rods 5 for suspending blades or spacers are arranged on the first chain. The support rods are integrally formed with the pins arranged at intervals on the first chain, which can improve the support force of the support rods. The outward side of the support rod is fixed to the front limiting plate 51 by bolts, and the inward side of the support rod is connected to the rear baffle 52. The front limiting plate prevents the blades or spacers from slipping off the support rods, and the rear baffle protects the retracting blades or spacers and avoids interference between the blades or spacers at the last side of the support rod and the adjacent chain plates. A pushing mechanism 6 is installed in the housing. The pushing mechanism is located on the rotation trajectory of the first chain and pushes the blades or spacers on the support rods toward the knife-distributing robotic arm. The pushing mechanism includes a cylinder 61. The tail of the cylinder body is hinged to the housing. The telescopic rod of the cylinder is fixed to the fork-shaped push rod 62. The roller 12 for supporting the fork-shaped push rod is pivotally connected in the housing.

[0025] The specific working process and principle of a tool magazine in a tool-distributing device: When retrieving a tool, the motor is started. The first drive sprocket drives the driven sprocket via the second chain. The driven sprocket drives the second drive sprocket to rotate via the transmission shaft, thereby driving the first chain to rotate and deliver the blade or spacer to be retrieved to the set position matched with the tool-distributing robotic arm, i.e., the front side of the pushing mechanism. After the tool-distributing robotic arm grips the blade or spacer at the foremost side of the support rod, the extension rod of the cylinder extends, driving the fork-shaped push rod forward to push the remaining blades or spacers to the front side of the support rod for replacement, facilitating the tool-distributing robotic arm to grip them one by one. When retracting the tool, the tool-distributing robotic arm returns the blade or spacer to the corresponding support rod. This enables fully automated production, greatly reducing the labor intensity of operators and improving production efficiency.
