Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for loading and unloading valve bodies during processing, belonging to the field of valve body processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] The two end faces of the valve body are usually machined in a machine tool. After placing the valve body in the machine tool, the upward end face is machined first, and then the valve body is turned so that the other end face is machined upward.

[0003] The loading and unloading of valve bodies in machine tools is usually done manually. Because valve bodies are small and individual processing cycles are short, manual loading and unloading occur frequently per unit time, resulting in high labor intensity. When workers are temporarily absent, there will be no one to load the valves, leading to production delays and reduced production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the problems of high workload and low efficiency associated with manual loading and unloading techniques in existing valve body processing by providing a fixed-point loading and unloading integrated device that enables automatic loading and unloading of valve bodies.

[0005] The valve body processing fixed-point loading and unloading integrated device of this utility model adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] The device includes a frame, a material tray, and a robot. Both the material tray and the robot are mounted on the frame, which is equipped with a reversing platform.

[0007] The front end of the frame is equipped with a control button box, and the robot control buttons are located on the control button box.

[0008] The robot is equipped with a dual-station gripper.

[0009] The frame is equipped with an air-blowing cleaning box, which removes iron filings and cutting fluid from the surface of the valve body by air-blowing cleaning.

[0010] The frame is equipped with a sampling inspection station for performing quality sampling inspections on the valve bodies after processing.

[0011] The aforementioned device is fixedly installed at a designated location next to the machine tool. The valve body to be processed is placed on the material tray. The robot picks up the valve body from the tray and places it inside the machine tool. After processing, the robot removes the valve body from the machine tool and places it on the reversing table, completing the reversal of the valve body's processed surface. The robot then picks up the valve body again and places it inside the machine tool to process the other end face of the valve body. After processing is complete, the robot moves, and its hand, holding the valve body, places it back onto the material tray.

[0012] This invention utilizes a robot positioned at a fixed location to load and unload workpieces (valve bodies) onto a material tray, thereby achieving automated loading and unloading of valve bodies during processing. This reduces workload, improves processing efficiency, and solves the problems associated with manual loading and unloading. Attached Figure Description

[0017] This utility model relates to a valve body machining fixed-point loading and unloading integrated device, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the system includes a frame 1, a material tray 3, and a robot 7, both of which are mounted on the frame 1. A control button box 2 is located at the front end of the frame 1, and the control buttons for the robot 7 are located on the control button box 2. The robot 7 is existing technology and is equipped with a dual-station gripper; see [link to documentation]. Figure 2 They are 8 hand grippers at station 1 and 9 hand grippers at station 2.

[0018] The frame 1 is also equipped with a sampling inspection station 6, which is used to conduct quality sampling inspections on the processed workpieces (valve bodies).

[0019] The frame 1 is also equipped with a reversing table 4, which is used to change the position of the two machining end faces of the workpiece (valve body).

[0020] The frame 1 is also equipped with an air-blowing cleaning box 5, which removes iron filings and cutting fluid from the surface of the valve body by air-blowing cleaning.

[0021] The process of machining the valve body using the above-mentioned device is described below.

[0022] Based on the operating range of robot 7, the frame 1 is fixedly set at a fixed position next to the machine tool.

[0023] The valve body to be processed is placed on the material tray 3. The robot's first-station gripper 8 picks up the valve body from the material tray 3 and places it inside the machine tool. The machine tool processes one end face of the valve body. The first-station gripper 8 places the workpiece into the machine tool's chuck, the chuck clamps the workpiece, and the first-station gripper 8 releases, allowing the machine tool to process it. After processing, the first-station gripper 8 returns to the machine tool to pick up the workpiece again. Holding the valve body workpiece, the first-station gripper 8 follows the robot's movement, removing it from the machine tool and placing it in the air-blowing cleaning box 5 to blow away iron filings and cutting fluid from the valve body surface. During the air-blowing process, the first-station gripper 8 holds the valve body workpiece continuously. After air-blowing is complete, the first-station gripper 8 places the valve body workpiece on the reversing table. During placement, the two end faces of the valve body workpiece are repositioned, and the valve body is reversed on the reversing table 4. The first-station gripper 8 releases the valve body. The robot operates, and the second-station gripper 9 picks up the valve body and places it into the machine tool for machining the other end face of the valve body. After machining is completed, the robot operates again, and the second-station gripper 9 picks up the valve body and places it back onto the material tray 3.

[0024] After the valve body is processed, manual sampling inspection can be performed on the valve body. Simply press the sampling inspection button on the control button box 2, and the robot will take the valve body to the sampling inspection table 6, where the operator will randomly inspect the processing accuracy of the valve body.
