Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ceramic ball punching technology, and in particular relates to a ceramic ball punching device. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic balls are spherical objects made from high-purity ceramic powders such as alumina, zirconium oxide, and silicon through processes such as pressing, molding, and sintering. Ceramic balls possess characteristics such as high hardness, high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and good insulation, making them widely used in various fields. Furthermore, large ceramic balls, with diameters of 3-5 cm, are suitable for use in grinding media, support and vibration damping, and precision instruments, providing excellent wear resistance and stability.
[0003] In current ceramic ball production processes, punching is required to increase the effective surface area of the ceramic balls. Traditional ceramic ball punching devices typically require personnel to manually place the ceramic balls in a designated position, fix them with a positioning clamping tool, and then punch them. This operation is not only inefficient, but also carries the risk of hand injury from the positioning clamping tool if the placement of the ceramic balls is improper. Furthermore, traditional ceramic ball punching devices generate waste debris during the punching process, which, if not cleaned properly, can affect the overall quality of the ceramic balls. Therefore, we propose a ceramic ball punching device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ceramic ball punching device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a ceramic ball punching device, including a worktable, a support plate, and a laser cladding machine, wherein the support plate and the laser cladding machine are both fixedly installed on the top of the worktable, and further includes:
[0006] An annular baffle is fixedly installed on the workbench and located between the support plate and the laser cladding machine. A rotating disk is rotatably installed on the workbench and inside the annular baffle. Several storage slots are provided on the rotating disk.
[0007] The discharge box is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate;
[0008] A through hole is provided on the circumferential wall of the annular baffle and is located near the laser cladding machine.
[0009] Collection box two, the collection box two is fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench and below the through hole, and a storage bucket is rotatably installed inside the workbench and below the through hole on one side, the bottom end of the storage bucket passes through the workbench and the top of collection box two and extends into collection box two;
[0010] A drive assembly located at the bottom of the workbench and used to drive the storage bin and the rotating disk to rotate;
[0011] A support frame is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the top of the support frame and is fixedly installed with a cover plate above the storage hopper. An upper rotating plate is rotatably installed on the bottom of the cover plate.
[0012] A through slot is provided inside the workbench and is connected to another storage slot. A collection box connected to the through slot is fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench. A filter plate is fixedly installed inside the collection box, and several rubber strips are fixedly installed on the top of the filter plate.
[0013] In this technical solution, when it is necessary to punch holes in ceramic balls, an appropriate number of ceramic balls are placed into the discharge box. Then, the drive assembly rotates the rotating disk within the annular baffle. When one of the receiving slots on the rotating disk moves to the bottom of the discharge box, under the influence of gravity, the lowest ceramic ball in the discharge box will fall into one of the receiving slots. At this time, the ceramic balls in one of the receiving slots will move with the rotation of the rotating disk until one of the receiving slots is moved directly in front of the through hole. Then, the ceramic ball will fall into the receiving hopper. Subsequently, the... The hydraulic cylinder is powered on and started. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder drives the cover plate and the upper rotating plate to move down until the upper rotating plate and the cover plate enter one of the storage slots. At the same time, the groove at the bottom of the upper rotating plate contacts the top of the ceramic ball, ensuring that the ceramic ball is fixed between the upper rotating plate and the storage hopper. Then, the laser cladding machine is powered on and started. The laser head of the laser cladding machine emits a laser that passes through the through hole and irradiates the surface of the ceramic ball. At this time, the material on the surface of the ceramic ball will quickly absorb the energy of the laser, causing the irradiated part of the ceramic ball to melt rapidly, thereby punching a hole in the ceramic ball.
[0014] When multiple punching operations are required for the ceramic ball, the drive component rotates the storage hopper. Under the squeezing action of the storage hopper and the upper rotating plate, the storage hopper rotates, causing the ceramic ball to rotate. This ensures that the angle of the ceramic ball can be adjusted, allowing for multiple punching operations. During the punching process, the ceramic ball is melted, and waste chips are generated. Some of these waste chips fall into one of the storage slots, while the other part adheres to the ceramic ball.
[0015] After the ceramic balls are punched, the hydraulic cylinder is restarted. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder drives the cover plate and the upper rotating plate to move up, thereby releasing the ceramic balls from the fixation. Then, the drive assembly drives the rotating disk to rotate, thereby moving the ceramic balls and waste in one of the collection slots. Under the push of the inner wall of the collection slot, the ceramic balls move away from the collection hopper. At the same time, some waste will be pushed onto the collection hopper by the inner wall of the collection slot. Under the action of gravity, some waste will slide down the inner wall of the collection hopper into the second collection box.
[0016] Meanwhile, another part of the waste and ceramic balls will continue to move under the push of the inner wall of the collection tank until the collection tank is connected to the through channel. Under the action of gravity, another part of the waste and ceramic balls will fall into the filter plate in the collection box. At this time, the ceramic balls roll down the high part of the inclined filter plate to the end of the filter plate. During the rolling of the ceramic balls on the filter plate, they pass through several rubber strips, which make the ceramic balls bounce up and down during the rolling process, ensuring that the waste on the ceramic balls is shaken off. This ensures that all the waste generated during the punching process of the ceramic balls can be removed, and that the overall quality of the ceramic balls will not be affected.
[0017] Meanwhile, as the rotating disc rotates, whenever an empty storage slot moves to the bottom of the discharge box, the ceramic balls inside the discharge box fall into the empty storage slot under the action of gravity, thus replenishing it. The above operation is then repeated. During this process, there is no need for manual feeding, which improves operational efficiency and avoids the risk of hand injury from improper placement of ceramic balls by the positioning clamping tool.
[0018] In the above technical solution, the driving component further includes:
[0019] A fixed slot is provided inside the workbench. A rotating slot is provided inside the workbench and above the fixed slot. A motor 2 is fixedly installed inside the fixed slot, and the output end of the motor 2 extends through the top of the fixed slot into the rotating slot. A gear 1 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 2 and inside the rotating slot. A gear 2 that is fixed to the lower end of the storage hopper is meshed with one side of the gear 1, and the gear 2 is located inside the rotating slot.
[0020] Motor 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench, and the output end of Motor 1 passes through the bottom of the workbench and is coaxially connected to the rotating disk.
[0021] In this technical solution, motor one is powered on and started. The output shaft of motor one drives the rotating disk to rotate within the annular baffle. Motor two is powered on and started. The output end of motor two drives gear one to rotate within the rotating groove. Under the action of meshing, gear one rotates and drives gear two to rotate. Gear two rotates and drives the storage hopper to rotate. Under the squeezing action between the storage hopper and the upper rotating plate, the storage hopper rotates and drives the ceramic ball to rotate, ensuring that the angle of the ceramic ball can be adjusted and that the ceramic ball can be drilled multiple times.
[0022] In the above technical solution, the output shaft of the second motor is rotatably connected to the rotating groove and the fixed groove, the second gear and the first gear are both rotatably connected to the rotating groove, and the output shaft of the first motor is rotatably connected to the worktable.
[0023] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the output shaft of motor 2 can drive gear 1 to rotate in the rotating slot. Under the action of meshing, gear 1 rotates and drives gear 2 to rotate in the rotating slot, ensuring that motor 1 can operate normally at the bottom of the worktable.
[0024] In the above technical solution, further, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is slidably connected to the support frame, the bottom end of the discharge box is in contact with the top of the rotating disk, and the bottom end of the discharge box is located at the edge of the rotating disk, and the outer wall of the rotating disk is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the annular baffle.
[0025] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the hydraulic cylinder can operate normally on the support frame, that the ceramic balls in the discharge box enter one of the receiving slots under the action of gravity, and that the rotation of the rotating disk can drive the ceramic balls to move.
[0026] In the above technical solution, further, an anti-collision pad is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second collection box near the tail end of the filter plate. The anti-collision pad is 1-2cm thick, and the bottom of the anti-collision pad is flush with the bottom of the tail end of the filter plate. The filter plate has a filtration accuracy of 0.1-1mm and has an inclined structure.
[0027] In this technical solution, under the action of gravity, the ceramic balls are ensured to roll down from the top of the filter plate to the tail end of the filter plate. The anti-collision pad can prevent the ceramic balls from rolling too fast at the tail end of the filter plate and being damaged. It ensures that the ceramic balls rolling down from the filter plate can stay between the anti-collision pad and the tail end of the filter plate, making it convenient for personnel to pick them up.
[0028] In the above technical solution, furthermore, a stainless steel protective plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each of the several storage slots, and the several storage slots are arranged in a ring with equal spacing. The distance between the inner wall of the stainless steel protective plate and the cover plate is 0.5-1mm.
[0029] In this technical solution, the stainless steel protective plate can prevent the laser generated by the laser cladding machine from piercing the inner wall of the storage tank, thus avoiding damage to the storage tank and ensuring that the waste generated during the punching of ceramic balls will only fall into the storage tank.
[0030] In the above technical solution, a collection box 1 is slidably installed inside the collection box 1 and below the filter plate, and a collection box 2 is slidably installed inside the collection box 2. The two ends of the storage hopper are respectively connected to the collection box 2 and one of the storage slots.
[0031] In this technical solution, it is ensured that personnel can remove Collection Box 1 from Collection Box 1 using the handle on Collection Box 1, and that personnel can remove Collection Box 2 from Collection Box 2 using the handle on Collection Box 2, which facilitates the cleaning of waste. It is also ensured that under the action of gravity, some waste slides down the inner wall of the collection hopper into Collection Box 2 inside Collection Box 2.
[0032] In the above technical solution, further, the center of the laser head of the laser cladding machine and the center of the through hole are located on the same horizontal plane, and the diameter of the through hole is much larger than the diameter of the laser head of the laser cladding machine.
[0033] In this technical solution, it is ensured that the laser irradiated by the laser cladding machine can irradiate the center of the ceramic ball to avoid deviation, while ensuring that the laser irradiated by the laser cladding machine will not irradiate the through hole.
[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0035] 1. This ceramic ball punching device, through the cooperation of the set collection box one, laser cladding machine, discharge box, collection box two, storage hopper, through groove, filter plate and anti-collision pad, ensures that all the waste generated during the ceramic ball punching process can be disposed of, ensuring that the overall quality of the ceramic ball is not affected.
[0036] 2. This ceramic ball punching device, through the cooperation of a support plate, rotating disk, storage slot, discharge box, and drive component, ensures that the ceramic balls in the discharge box can fall into the empty storage slot to replenish them.

[0048] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "middle," "vertical," and "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
[0049] Example 1: This example provides a ceramic ball punching device, including a worktable 1, a support plate 2, and a laser cladding machine 10. The support plate 2 and the laser cladding machine 10 are both fixedly installed on the top of the worktable 1. The device also includes:
[0050] An annular baffle 6 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1 and located between the support plate 2 and the laser cladding machine 10. A rotating disk 3 is rotatably installed on the workbench 1 and inside the annular baffle 6. Several storage slots 4 are opened on the rotating disk 3.
[0051] The discharge box 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 2;
[0052] Through hole 21 is formed on the circumferential wall of the annular baffle 6 and is located near the laser cladding machine 10;
[0053] Collection box 2 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of workbench 1 and below through hole 21. Storage hopper 19 is rotatably installed inside workbench 1 and below one side of through hole 21. The bottom end of storage hopper 19 passes through workbench 1 and the top of collection box 2 12 and extends into collection box 2 12.
[0054] The drive assembly is located at the bottom of the workbench 1 and is used to drive the storage bin 19 and the rotating disk 3 to rotate.
[0055] Support frame 7 is fixedly installed on the top of workbench 1. A hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the top of support frame 7. The output end of hydraulic cylinder 8 passes through the top of support frame 7 and is fixedly installed above storage hopper 19. A cover plate 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom of cover plate 13. An upper rotating plate 22 is rotatably installed on the bottom of cover plate 13.
[0056] The through channel 23 is located inside the workbench 1 and is connected to another storage slot 4. A collection box 9 connected to the through channel 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench 1. A filter plate 24 is fixedly installed inside the collection box 9. Several rubber strips are fixedly installed on the top of the filter plate 24.
[0057] When it is necessary to punch holes in the ceramic balls, the operator puts an appropriate number of ceramic balls into the discharge box 11. Then, the drive assembly drives the rotating disk 3 to rotate within the annular baffle 6. When one of the receiving slots 4 on the rotating disk 3 moves to the bottom of the discharge box 11, the ceramic ball at the bottom of the discharge box 11 will fall into one of the receiving slots 4 under the action of gravity. At this time, the ceramic ball in one of the receiving slots 4 will move with the rotation of the rotating disk 3 until one of the receiving slots 4 is moved to the front of the through hole 21. At this time, the ceramic ball will fall into the receiving hopper 19. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is connected... Power is turned on and started. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the cover plate 13 and the upper rotating plate 22 to move down until the upper rotating plate 22 and the cover plate 13 enter one of the storage slots 4. At the same time, the groove at the bottom of the upper rotating plate 22 contacts the top of the ceramic ball, ensuring that the ceramic ball is fixed between the upper rotating plate 22 and the storage hopper 19. Then, the laser cladding machine 10 is powered on and started. The laser head of the laser cladding machine 10 emits a laser that passes through the through hole 21 and irradiates the surface of the ceramic ball. At this time, the material on the surface of the ceramic ball will quickly absorb the energy of the laser, causing the irradiated part of the ceramic ball to melt rapidly, thereby punching a hole in the ceramic ball.
[0058] When multiple punching operations are required for the ceramic ball, the drive assembly drives the storage hopper 19 to rotate. Under the squeezing action of the storage hopper 19 and the upper rotating plate 22, the storage hopper 19 rotates and drives the ceramic ball to rotate, ensuring that the angle of the ceramic ball can be adjusted and that multiple punching operations can be performed on the ceramic ball. During the punching process, the ceramic ball is melted and waste chips are generated. Some of these waste chips will fall into one of the storage slots 4, and the other part will adhere to the ceramic ball.
[0059] After the ceramic ball is punched, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is started again. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the cover plate 13 and the upper rotating plate 22 to move upward, thereby releasing the ceramic ball from the fixation. Then, the drive assembly drives the rotating disk 3 to rotate, thereby moving the ceramic ball and waste in one of the collection slots 4. Under the push of the inner wall of the collection slot 4, the ceramic ball moves away from the collection hopper 19. At the same time, some waste will be pushed onto the collection hopper 19 by the inner wall of the collection slot 4. Under the action of gravity, some waste slides down the inner wall of the collection hopper 19 into the collection box 12.
[0060] Meanwhile, another part of the waste and ceramic balls will continue to move under the push of the inner wall of the collection tank 4 until the collection tank 4 is connected to the through channel 23. Under the action of gravity, another part of the waste and ceramic balls will fall into the filter plate 24 in the collection box 9 through the through channel 23. At this time, the ceramic balls roll down the high point of the inclined filter plate 24 to the tail end of the filter plate 24. During the rolling process of the ceramic balls on the filter plate 24, they pass through several rubber strips, which makes the ceramic balls bounce up and down during the rolling process, ensuring that the waste on the ceramic balls is shaken off, ensuring that all the waste generated during the punching process of the ceramic balls can be disposed of, and ensuring that the overall quality of the ceramic balls is not affected.
[0061] Meanwhile, as the rotating disk 3 rotates, whenever an empty storage slot 4 moves to the bottom of the discharge box 11, the ceramic balls in the discharge box 11 fall into the empty storage slot 4 under the action of gravity, thus replenishing them. The above operation is repeated. During this process, no manual feeding is required, which improves the efficiency of operation and avoids the risk of hand injury caused by improper placement of ceramic balls by the positioning clamping tool.
[0062] Example 2: This example provides a ceramic ball punching device, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above examples, also has the following technical features, including a driving component:
[0063] A fixed groove 16 is provided inside the workbench 1. A rotating groove 15 is provided inside the workbench 1 and above the fixed groove 16. A motor 26 is fixedly installed inside the fixed groove 16, and the output end of the motor 26 extends through the top of the fixed groove 16 into the rotating groove 15. A gear 17 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 26 and inside the rotating groove 15. A gear 18 is meshed with one side of the gear 17 and fixed to the lower end of the storage hopper 19. The gear 18 is located inside the rotating groove 15.
[0064] Motor 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of workbench 1. The output end of motor 14 passes through the bottom of workbench 1 and is coaxially connected to rotating disk 3.
[0065] In this process, motor 14 is powered on and started. The output shaft of motor 14 drives the rotating disk 3 to rotate within the annular baffle 6. Motor 26 is powered on and started. The output end of motor 26 drives gear 17 to rotate within the rotating groove 15. Under the action of meshing, gear 17 rotates and drives gear 28 to rotate. Gear 28 rotates and drives the storage hopper 19 to rotate. Under the squeezing action of the storage hopper 19 and the upper rotating plate 22, the storage hopper 19 rotates and drives the ceramic ball to rotate, ensuring that the angle of the ceramic ball can be adjusted and that the ceramic ball can be drilled multiple times.
[0066] Example 3: This example provides a ceramic ball punching device. In addition to the technical solutions of the above examples, it also has the following technical features: the output shaft of motor 26 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 15 and the fixed groove 16; gear 2 18 and gear 17 are both rotatably connected to the rotating groove 15; and the output shaft of motor 14 is rotatably connected to the worktable 1.
[0067] Specifically, it ensures that the output shaft of motor 26 can drive gear 17 to rotate in the rotating groove 15. Under the action of meshing, gear 17 rotates and drives gear 2 18 to rotate in the rotating groove 15, ensuring that motor 14 can operate normally at the bottom of the worktable 1.
[0068] Example 4: This example provides a ceramic ball punching device. In addition to the technical solutions of the above examples, it also has the following technical features: the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 is slidably connected to the support frame 7; the bottom end of the discharge box 11 is in contact with the top of the rotating disk 3; the bottom end of the discharge box 11 is located at the edge of the rotating disk 3; and the outer wall of the rotating disk 3 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the annular baffle 6.
[0069] In this process, it is ensured that the hydraulic cylinder 8 can operate normally on the support frame 7, that the ceramic balls in the discharge box 11 enter one of the collection slots 4 under the action of gravity, and that the rotation of the rotating disk 3 can drive the ceramic balls to move.
[0070] Example 5: This example provides a ceramic ball punching device. In addition to the technical solutions of the above examples, it also has the following technical features: an anti-collision pad 25 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the collection box 2 12 near the tail end of the filter plate 24. The thickness of the anti-collision pad 25 is 1-2cm. The bottom of the anti-collision pad 25 is flush with the bottom of the tail end of the filter plate 24. The filtration accuracy of the filter plate 24 is 0.1-1mm. The filter plate 24 has an inclined structure.
[0071] Under the influence of gravity, the ceramic balls are ensured to roll down from the top of the filter plate 24 to the tail end of the filter plate 24. The anti-collision pad 25 can prevent the ceramic balls from rolling too fast at the tail end of the filter plate 24 and being damaged. It ensures that the ceramic balls rolling down from the filter plate 24 can stay between the anti-collision pad 25 and the tail end of the filter plate 24, making it convenient for personnel to pick them up.
[0072] Example 6: This example provides a ceramic ball punching device. In addition to the technical solutions of the above examples, it also has the following technical features: stainless steel protective plates 5 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of several storage slots 4. The several storage slots 4 are arranged in a ring with equal spacing. The distance between the inner wall of the stainless steel protective plate 5 and the cover plate 13 is 0.5-1mm.
[0073] Among them, the stainless steel protective plate 5 can prevent the laser generated by the laser cladding machine 10 from piercing the inner wall of the storage tank 4, avoid damage to the storage tank 4, and ensure that the waste generated during the punching of ceramic balls will only fall into the storage tank 4.
[0074] Example 7: This example provides a ceramic ball punching device. In addition to the technical solutions of the above examples, it also has the following technical features: a collection box 1 is slidably installed in the collection box 1 9 and below the filter plate 24; a collection box 2 is slidably installed in the collection box 2 12; and the two ends of the storage hopper 19 are respectively connected to the collection box 2 12 and one of the storage slots 4.
[0075] This design ensures that personnel can remove Collection Box 1 from Collection Box 1 9 using the handle on Collection Box 1, and remove Collection Box 2 from Collection Box 2 12 using the handle on Collection Box 2, facilitating the cleaning of waste. It also ensures that, under the influence of gravity, some waste will slide down the inner wall of Collection hopper 19 into Collection Box 2 12.
[0076] Example 8: This example provides a ceramic ball punching device. In addition to the technical solutions of the above examples, it also has the following technical features: the center of the laser head of the laser cladding machine 10 and the center of the through hole 21 are located on the same horizontal plane, and the diameter of the through hole 21 is much larger than the diameter of the laser head of the laser cladding machine 10.
[0077] Specifically, it ensures that the laser irradiated by the laser cladding machine 10 can irradiate the center of the ceramic ball to avoid deviation, and at the same time ensures that the laser irradiated by the laser cladding machine 10 will not irradiate the through hole 21.
[0078] It is worth noting that the laser cladding machine 10 involved in this utility model uses a laser head with the product number TL310 ring powder feeding laser processing head produced by Shanghai Tongli Laser Technology Co., Ltd. The laser cladding machine 10 involved in this utility model is existing technology, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and there is no need to elaborate. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the structure and working principle of the laser cladding machine 10. The laser beam generated by the laser cladding machine 10 is focused by a series of optical lenses and focusing devices. These optical elements can converge the originally divergent laser beam into a laser with highly concentrated energy.
[0079] Working principle: When it is necessary to punch holes in ceramic balls, the operator puts an appropriate amount of ceramic balls into the discharge box 11. Then, the motor 14 is powered on and started. The output shaft of the motor 14 drives the rotating disk 3 to rotate within the annular baffle 6. When one of the receiving slots 4 on the rotating disk 3 moves to the bottom of the discharge box 11, under the action of gravity, the ceramic ball at the bottom of the discharge box 11 will fall into one of the receiving slots 4. At this time, the ceramic ball in one of the receiving slots 4 will move with the rotation of the rotating disk 3 until one of the receiving slots 4 is moved to the front of the through hole 21. At this time, the ceramic ball will fall into the receiving hopper 19. Then, the motor 14 is turned off, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is powered on and started, and the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 8... The outlet drives the cover plate 13 and the upper rotating plate 22 to move down until the upper rotating plate 22 and the cover plate 13 enter one of the storage slots 4. At the same time, the groove at the bottom of the upper rotating plate 22 contacts the top of the ceramic ball, ensuring that the ceramic ball is fixed between the upper rotating plate 22 and the storage hopper 19. Then, the laser cladding machine 10 is powered on and started. The laser head of the laser cladding machine 10 emits a laser that passes through the through hole 21 and irradiates the surface of the ceramic ball. At this time, the material on the surface of the ceramic ball will quickly absorb the energy of the laser, causing the irradiated part of the ceramic ball to melt rapidly, thereby punching a hole in the ceramic ball. At the same time, the stainless steel protective plate 5 in the storage slot 4 can prevent the laser generated by the laser cladding machine 10 from piercing the inner wall of the storage slot 4, thus avoiding damage to the storage slot 4.
[0080] When multiple punching operations are required for the ceramic ball, the second motor 26 is connected to the power supply and started. The output end of the second motor 26 drives the first gear 17 to rotate in the rotating groove 15. Under the action of meshing, the first gear 17 rotates and drives the second gear 18 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 18 drives the storage hopper 19 to rotate. Under the squeezing action of the storage hopper 19 and the upper rotating plate 22, the storage hopper 19 rotates and drives the ceramic ball to rotate, ensuring that the angle of the ceramic ball can be adjusted and that multiple punching operations can be performed on the ceramic ball. During the punching process, the ceramic ball is melted and waste chips are generated. Some of these waste chips will fall into one of the storage grooves 4, and the other part will adhere to the ceramic ball.
[0081] After the ceramic balls are punched, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is started again. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the cover plate 13 and the upper rotating plate 22 to move upward, thereby releasing the ceramic balls from the fixation. Then, the motor 14 is started. The output end of the motor 14 drives the rotating disk 3 to rotate, thereby moving the ceramic balls and waste in one of the collection slots 4. Under the push of the inner wall of the collection slot 4, the ceramic balls move away from the collection hopper 19. At the same time, some waste will be pushed onto the collection hopper 19 by the inner wall of the collection slot 4. Under the action of gravity, some waste slides down the inner wall of the collection hopper 19 into the collection box 2 in the collection box 2 12.
[0082] Meanwhile, another part of the waste and ceramic balls will continue to move under the push of the inner wall of the collection groove 4 until the collection groove 4 is connected to the through groove 23. Under the action of gravity, another part of the waste and ceramic balls will fall through the through groove 23 onto the filter plate 24 in the collection box 9. At this time, the ceramic balls roll down along the high point of the filter plate 24 to the tail end of the filter plate 24, and then hit the anti-collision pad 25 until they stop between the anti-collision pad 25 and the tail end of the filter plate 24. At the same time, during the rolling process of the ceramic balls on the filter plate 24, they pass through several rubber strips, causing the ceramic balls to bounce up and down during the rolling process, ensuring that the waste on the ceramic balls is shaken off. The shaken-off waste, along with another part of the waste, will pass through the filter plate 24 and fall into the collection box 1 in the collection box 9, ensuring that all the waste generated during the punching process of the ceramic balls can be disposed of, ensuring that the overall quality of the ceramic balls is not affected.
[0083] Meanwhile, as the rotating disk 3 rotates, whenever an empty storage slot 4 moves to the bottom of the discharge box 11, the ceramic balls in the discharge box 11 fall into the empty storage slot 4 under the action of gravity, thus replenishing them. The above operation is repeated. During this process, no manual feeding is required, which improves the efficiency of operation and avoids the risk of hand injury caused by improper placement of ceramic balls by the positioning clamping tool.
