Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of grinding machine technology, and more specifically, to a discharge device for a core-insertion grinding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A ferrule polishing machine is a specialized piece of equipment used for the precision polishing of the end faces of optical fiber ferrules. It performs high-precision mechanical polishing operations on the ferrule, employing specific polishing discs, fixtures, and a precise control system to accurately control parameters such as polishing pressure, speed, and time. This removes imperfections from the ferrule end face, achieving extremely high flatness, smoothness, and compliance with stringent geometric requirements. This ensures low loss and stable signal transmission during optical fiber connections, playing a crucial role in fields such as optical fiber communication and optoelectronic device manufacturing.

[0003] Existing ferrule grinding machines generally use manual feeding. After grinding, operators need to remove the ferrules one by one from the grinding fixture or disc and place them into a collection container. This method is extremely inefficient, not only consuming a lot of manpower and time, but also making it difficult to ensure the consistency and accuracy of feeding. Uncontrollable factors during manual operation can easily cause scratches on the surface of the ferrules. In addition, some ferrule grinding machines use gravity feeding, which is prone to ferrule blockage or accumulation, resulting in uneven feeding, reduced production efficiency, potential damage to the ferrules, and disruption to the normal operation of subsequent processing steps.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 A discharge device for a core grinding machine includes a machine body 1, a quick-release plate 2 on the top of the machine body 1, a discharge assembly between the machine body 1 and the quick-release plate 2, a fixing frame 3 on one side of the machine body 1, and a discharge assembly on one side of the fixing frame 3.

[0028] The feeding assembly includes a slide 18, and the number of slides 18 is set to at least one. The slide 18 is used to slide the insert for feeding. The discharge assembly includes a rotating plate 4. A motor 10 is provided at the bottom of the fixed frame 3. The motor 10 is used to drive the rotating plate 4 to rotate and discharge the insert at a time.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5A rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed frame 3. The rotating shaft 12 passes through one side of the fixed frame 3 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 4. A gear 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 12. A support plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 3. A motor 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 9. An incomplete gear 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output end of the motor 10. The incomplete gear 11 meshes with the gear 13. Multiple grooves 5 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating plate 4. Each groove 5 has a limiting rod 6 on both sides. A through-hole 7 is provided on one side of the fixed frame 3. A collection box 8 is provided at the bottom of the through-hole 7. A limiting strip 14 is provided on one side of the fixed frame 3.

[0030] The discharge assembly enables timely discharge of inserts. Specifically, the insert slides onto one side of the fixed frame 3, where it is positioned in the groove 5 on one side of one of the rotating plates 4. Then, the motor 10 starts, driving the incomplete gear 11 to rotate. The incomplete gear 11 meshes with the gear 13, and the number of teeth on the incomplete gear 11 is one-quarter of the number of teeth on the gear 13. One rotation of the incomplete gear 11 will drive the gear 13 to rotate 90 degrees, thereby causing the rotating shaft 12 to drive the rotating plate 4 to rotate intermittently. When the groove 5 on the rotating plate 4 containing the insert rotates to above the opening 7, the insert falls into the collection box 8 below the opening 7 under the action of gravity. At the same time, the limiting rod 6 and the limiting strip 14 prevent the insert from detaching from the groove 5 during rotation, thus achieving timed discharge and orderly collection of the insert.

[0031] The discharge assembly enables timed discharge and orderly collection of inserts. It utilizes the meshing transmission of the incomplete gear 11 and gear 13 driven by the motor 10 to precisely control the intermittent rotation of the rotating plate 4, allowing the inserts to fall into the collection box 8 in sequence according to the set rhythm. This effectively avoids the accumulation and blockage of inserts, improving the stability and reliability of the discharge. At the same time, the groove 5 on the rotating plate 4, as well as the matching limiting rod 6 and limiting strip 14, ensure the fixed position of the inserts during the discharge process, reducing the risk of damage to the inserts due to shaking and displacement. This helps to improve the overall discharge efficiency and product quality of the insert grinding machine, laying a good foundation for the smooth progress of subsequent processing steps.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-5 Multiple sliding grooves 18 are provided inside the quick-release plate 2. An inclined plate 19 is provided on one side of the body 1. Baffles 20 are provided on both sides of the inclined plate 19. Two first electric push rods 15 are provided on the top of the body 1. Two support columns 21 are provided on the top of the body 1. A second electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to the top of each first electric push rod 15 and support column 21. A pressure plate 17 is provided on the outer wall of the output end of each second electric push rod 16. A limit frame 23 is connected to the outer wall of the output end of the two second electric push rods 16. Multiple limit grooves 24 are provided on one side of the limit frame 23. A limit plate 22 is provided on the top of each support column 21. Both limit plates 22 are rotatably connected to one side of the quick-release plate 2.

[0033] Automatic feeding is achieved through the feeding assembly. Specifically, the insert is first placed in multiple slots 18 on the quick-release plate 2. When the insert needs to be fed after grinding, the output ends of multiple second electric push rods 16 extend, causing multiple pressure plates 17 to move away from the quick-release plate 2. At this time, the groove 24 on one side of the limiting frame 23 simultaneously disengages from multiple inserts, leaving them in a non-fixed state. When the output ends of the two first electric push rods 15 extend, the extension of the first electric push rods 15 will push up one side of the quick-release plate 2. Due to the two limiting plates... All 22 are rotatably connected to one side of the quick-release plate 2. When one side of the quick-release plate 2 is lifted, the quick-release plate 2 will rotate at a certain angle. Since multiple inserts are slidably connected to multiple slides 18, the inserts slide down along the slides 18. Since there is an inclined plate 19 on one side of the machine body 1 and baffles 20 on both sides, the inserts will slide down along the inclined plate 19 to one side of the fixed frame 3 and are located at the groove 5 of the rotating plate 4. In the whole process, the limiting plate 22 can play a certain role in limiting and supporting the rotation of the quick-release plate 2, thereby realizing the automatic feeding of the inserts.

[0034] The feeding assembly enables efficient and automatic feeding of inserts. It uses an electric push rod to precisely control the tilt angle of the quick-release plate 2 and the movement of the pressure plate 17. The feeding timing and speed can be flexibly adjusted according to the grinding progress of the insert and actual needs, which effectively improves the automation and accuracy of feeding. The setting of the inclined plate 19 and the baffle 20 ensures that the insert can accurately slide to the designated position, avoiding the insert from scattering or deviating, ensuring the continuity of the feeding process, and reducing the cost of manual intervention and operational errors.

[0035] Working principle: After the core grinding is completed, the feeding assembly starts first. Multiple second electric push rods 16 drive the pressure plate 17 away from the quick-release plate 2. At this time, the groove 24 on one side of the limiting frame 23 disengages from multiple cores. Multiple cores are in a non-fixed state. Then, two first electric push rods 15 extend and lift one side of the quick-release plate 2, so that it rotates at a certain angle under the limiting and support of the limiting plate 22. At this time, the core in the slide groove 18 inside the quick-release plate 2 slides down the slide groove 18 under the action of gravity. With the help of the inclined plate 19 on one side of the machine body 1 and the baffles 20 on both sides, the core accurately slides down to the side of the fixed frame 3 and enters the groove 5 of the rotating plate 4.

[0036] Next, the discharge assembly starts operating. The motor 10 at the bottom of the fixed frame 3 drives the incomplete gear 11 to rotate. Since the incomplete gear 11 meshes with the gear 13 on the rotating shaft 12 and the gear ratio is specific, the incomplete gear 11 rotates one revolution, causing the gear 13 to rotate ninety degrees. This causes the rotating shaft 12 to drive the rotating plate 4 to rotate intermittently. When the groove 5 with the insert is rotated to the top of the opening 7 on one side of the fixed frame 3, the insert falls into the collection box 8 below the opening 7 under the action of gravity. During the rotation, the limiting rods 6 on both sides of the groove 5 and the limiting strip 14 on one side of the fixed frame 3 prevent the insert from falling out of the groove 5. This cycle is repeated to realize the automatic feeding of the insert from the grinding machine and the timed discharge and orderly collection. The whole process is highly automated, precise and stable, reducing manual operation, improving discharge efficiency and product quality, and ensuring smooth connection of subsequent processing steps.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
