Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of drilling devices, specifically relating to a loading and unloading mechanism for an automatic drilling device. Background Technology

[0002] Before installation, linear guides often require drilling holes to facilitate installation with the equipment. Existing patent CN205020861U discloses a drilling device for linear guides. This device simply uses a clamping mechanism to fix the linear guide and then drills holes in it. There is no matching loading and unloading mechanism on the machine base, so loading and unloading are often done manually or by a robotic arm, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, linear guides are long and heavy, making loading and unloading laborious. Therefore, a loading and unloading mechanism for an automatic drilling device is needed to overcome these difficulties. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by designing a loading and unloading mechanism for an automatic punching device.

Then, the first and second translation devices move again, controlling the gripping components to pick up the remaining linear guide rails to be processed from the chain feeding assembly.

The second translation device 7 and the first translation device 5 are arranged perpendicularly to each other. The second translation device 7 also includes a second motor 72. The crossbeam 6 is provided with a pair of second guide rails 12, and a main beam frame 71 is slidably mounted on the second guide rails 12. The main beam frame 71 is provided with a second motor 72, and a gear is provided on the motor shaft of the second motor 72. The crossbeam 6 is provided with a rack arranged parallel to the second guide rails 12. The gear and rack mesh with each other, and when the second motor 72 is working, it drives the main beam frame 71 to move along the second guide rails 12. The main beam frame 71 is provided with a pair of clamping components 8. The main beam frame 71 is provided with a mounting through hole 73 for positioning and mounting the second motor 72, and the second motor 72 is arranged perpendicularly to the main beam frame 71. The clamping assembly 8 includes a clamping motor 81 and a clamping arm body 82. The clamping arm body 82 is slidably connected to the main beam frame 71. A gear is mounted on the motor shaft of the clamping motor 81. A rack is coaxially mounted on the clamping arm body 82, and the gear and rack mesh with each other.

[0025] The specific operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When the first motor 52 is working, it drives the first slider 51 to move along the first guide rail 11.

In the initial state, the chain feeding assembly 10 transports the linear guide rails that need to be punched to the end of the chain feeding assembly 10. Then, one of the clamping components 8 grabs the linear guide rails that need to be punched. Next, the first translation device 5 and the second translation device 7 move the clamping component 8 closer to the product placement plate 2. At this time, the linear guide rails on the product placement plate 2 have been punched, and the other clamping component 8, which is in a waiting state, will grab the processed linear guide rails. The first clamping component 8 holding the linear guide rails puts down the linear guide rails, which are then fixed by the fixing component 13, so the punching component 3 can start punching. Then, the first translation device 5 and the second translation device 7 move synchronously, controlling the clamping component 8 with the linear guide rails to approach the material rack 9, thereby placing the processed linear guide rails on the material rack 9. Then, the first translation device 5 and the second translation device 7 move again, controlling the clamping component 8 to grab the remaining linear guide rails that need to be processed from the chain feeding assembly 10.
