Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic processing lines, and in particular to an automatic processing line for hollow pistons. Background Technology

[0002] In today's rapidly developing machinery manufacturing industry, with increasingly stringent emission standards for automobile engines, the manufacturing requirements for piston parts are also constantly rising. To meet market demand for high-quality, high-efficiency pistons, automated hollow piston processing lines have emerged. These automated production lines integrate advanced mechanical, electronic, and information technologies to achieve a high degree of automation and intelligence in piston processing.

[0003] Currently, in the hollow piston processing process, multiple machine tools are usually used to process the hollow piston step by step according to different processes. However, it has been found in the use of existing processing production lines that it is not convenient to automatically transport the hollow piston blank between different equipment, which increases the labor intensity of personnel in transporting it, affects work efficiency, and reduces the safety of personnel operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic hollow piston processing line that reduces the labor intensity of personnel transporting hollow pistons and improves work efficiency.

[0005] This utility model discloses an automatic hollow piston processing line, comprising a first machine tool and a second machine tool, with the second machine tool positioned to the side of the first machine tool; it also includes a conveying device, a transmission device, a third machine tool, a fourth machine tool, a first conveyor belt, and a second conveyor belt. The third machine tool is positioned to the side of the second machine tool, and the fourth machine tool is positioned to the side of the third machine tool. The first conveyor belt is installed on the outer wall of the first machine tool, and the second conveyor belt is installed on the outer walls of both the first and second machine tools, and is connected to the first conveyor belt. The conveying device is respectively positioned on the outer walls of the first, second, third, and fourth machine tools, and is used to move and convey the hollow pistons. The transmission device is positioned on the third and fourth machine tools and is used to move and transmit the hollow pistons. The piston blank is placed on the first conveyor belt, which transports it to the loading position of the first machining tool. Then, a conveying device picks up the blank from the first conveyor belt and places it on the first machining tool for machining. After the first step of machining, the hollow piston is moved to the second conveyor belt via the conveying device on the first machining tool. The second conveyor belt rotates and transports the hollow piston to the side of the second machining tool. At this point, the conveying device on the second machining tool picks up the hollow piston from the second conveyor belt and places it on the second machining tool, allowing the second machining tool to perform the second step of machining on the hollow piston. Then, a conveying device, in coordination with the conveying devices on the third and fourth machining tools, sequentially processes the hollow piston on the third and fourth machining tools, thereby reducing the labor intensity of personnel transporting the hollow piston and improving work efficiency.

[0006] Preferably, the conveying device includes a third conveyor belt, a fourth conveyor belt, and a fifth conveyor belt. One end of the third conveyor belt is connected to the outer wall of the second machine tool, and the other end of the third conveyor belt extends into the interior of the third machine tool. One end of the fourth conveyor belt is connected to the third machine tool, and the other end of the fourth conveyor belt communicates with the fifth conveyor belt. The fifth conveyor belt is installed on the outer wall of the fourth machine tool. The hollow piston, after being processed in the second step, is placed on the third conveyor belt via the conveying device on the second machine tool. The hollow piston is then conveyed into the third machine tool via the third conveyor belt. The hollow piston is processed in the third step via the third machine tool. The hollow piston after the third step is conveyed to the fourth conveyor belt via the fourth conveyor belt. The hollow piston on the fourth conveyor belt is then conveyed to the side of the fourth machine tool via the conveying device on the fourth machine tool for the fourth step of processing. The processed hollow piston is placed on the fifth conveyor belt via the conveying device on the fourth machine tool, thereby enabling the fifth conveyor belt to unload and convey the formed hollow piston, improving the convenience of automatic conveying of the hollow piston.

[0007] Preferably, the conveying device includes a first robotic arm, a second robotic arm, and a third robotic arm. The first robotic arm is mounted on the outer wall of the first machine tool, the second robotic arm is mounted on the outer wall of the second machine tool, and the third robotic arm is mounted on the outer wall of the fourth machine tool. The hollow piston is clamped and conveyed by the coordinated use of the first, second, and third robotic arms, thereby improving the convenience of automatic movement and conveying of the hollow piston among the first, second, third, and fourth machine tools, the first conveyor belt, the second conveyor belt, the third conveyor belt, the fourth conveyor belt, and the fifth conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes two sets of blocking cylinders. The first set of blocking cylinders is installed on the outer wall of the second machine tool, and the second set of blocking cylinders is installed on the outer wall of the fourth machine tool. When the hollow piston is delivered to the side of the second or fourth machine tool, the two sets of blocking cylinders block the hollow piston, thereby stopping the hollow piston from moving forward and improving the convenience of the second and third robotic arms to pick it up.

[0009] Preferably, the third processing machine tool is equipped with a picking device, which is used to pick up the hollow piston conveyed from the third conveyor belt and transport the hollow piston processed in the third step to the fourth conveyor belt; thereby improving the convenience of automatic conveying of the hollow piston.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The blank material of the hollow piston is placed on the first conveyor belt, and the blank material is transported to the loading position of the first processing machine tool by the first conveyor belt. Then, the blank material on the first conveyor belt is picked up by the conveying device and placed on the first processing machine tool for machining. After the first step of machining is completed, the hollow piston is moved to the second conveyor belt by the conveying device on the first processing machine tool. After the second conveyor belt rotates, the hollow piston is transported to the side of the second processing machine tool. At this time, the hollow piston on the second conveyor belt is picked up by the conveying device on the second processing machine tool and placed on the second processing machine tool, so that the second processing machine tool can perform the second step of machining on the hollow piston. Then, the hollow piston is processed sequentially on the third processing machine tool and the fourth processing machine tool by the conveying device in cooperation with the conveying device on the third processing machine tool and the fourth processing machine tool, thereby reducing the labor intensity of personnel in conveying the hollow piston and improving work efficiency.
