Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chamfering machine technology, specifically relating to an automated chamfering machine. Background Technology

[0002] A chamfering machine is an automated processing device used to chamfer, deburr, or round the edges of workpieces. It is widely used in machinery manufacturing, hardware processing, and electronic component production. Existing chamfering machines typically have a high level of automation in the processing stage. For example, they use numerical control systems (CNC) or robotic arms to achieve tool path planning, speed control, and processing parameter optimization, enabling them to efficiently complete the precision machining of workpieces.

[0003] However, the core processes of such equipment still rely heavily on manual labor, especially the loading and unloading of workpieces. Operators must manually place the workpieces to be processed into the processing area or remove them after processing and transfer them to the next process. Manual loading and unloading has the following limitations: First, manual operation limits production efficiency, and the waiting time for loading and unloading prolongs the overall processing cycle, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale, continuous production. Second, manual intervention increases the instability of processing quality; for example, workpiece positioning deviations and uneven clamping force may lead to decreased processing accuracy or surface damage. Furthermore, manual loading and unloading poses safety hazards. Operators frequently come into contact with high-speed rotating mechanical parts, increasing the risk of mechanical collisions, pinching injuries, or operational errors due to fatigue, thus increasing the risks in the production environment. These shortcomings restrict the further application and optimization of chamfering machines in smart manufacturing scenarios.

[0004] Therefore, based on some of the situations in the prior art described above, this application has made further designs and improvements. Utility Model Content

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 6An automated chamfering machine includes a base 100, on which a chamfering mechanism 200 and a feeding mechanism 300 are mounted. The chamfering mechanism 200 includes a positioning part 210 and a chamfering part 220. The positioning part 210 is used to clamp a workpiece, and the chamfering part 220 is used to chamfer the workpiece. A spindle 211 is mounted on the positioning part 210, and a clamping seat 212 for clamping the workpiece is mounted on the spindle 211. The chamfering part 220 includes a machining tool holder 221, which is mounted on the base 100 via a feed module 222. The feed module 222 drives the machining tool holder 221 to move towards the clamping seat 212.

[0031] The feeding mechanism 300 includes a material handling section 310 and a feeding section 320. The material handling section 310 includes an assembly frame 311. An assembly beam 315 is mounted on the assembly frame 311 via an X-axis drive module 312. A lifting frame 316 is mounted on the assembly beam 315 via a Y-axis drive module 313. A material handling component is mounted on the lifting frame 316 via a Z-axis drive module 314. The feeding section 320 includes an upper feeding tray 327 and an lower feeding tray 328. The upper feeding tray 327 and the lower feeding tray 328 are placed side by side along the X-axis.

[0032] The working principle of the automated chamfering machine described in this application is as follows: The loading and unloading unit 310 picks up the material from the loading tray 327 and then moves it to the clamping seat 212 for loading. The spindle 211 drives the clamping seat 212 to rotate, and the feed module 222 drives the machining tool holder 221 to move forward to perform chamfering. After machining is completed, the loading and unloading unit 310 places the machined workpiece onto the unloading tray 328.

[0033] As one embodiment of this application, the material handling assembly includes a rotary cylinder 317, which is connected to a mounting block 318. Two sets of clamping jaws 319 are mounted on the mounting block 318. The rotary cylinder 317 is mounted on the lifting frame 316 at a 45° angle. This design allows for loading and unloading in a single pass without requiring two reciprocating motions, ensuring efficient loading and unloading. During loading, one set of clamping jaws 319 removes the finished workpiece, the rotary cylinder 317 rotates, and the other set of clamping jaws 319 mounts the workpiece to be processed onto the clamping seat 212.

[0034] As one embodiment of this application, to ensure reliable positioning of the loading tray 327 and unloading tray 328, the feeding unit 320 includes a feeding frame 321. Several parallel sliding blocks 322 are mounted on the feeding frame 321, and each sliding block 322 has a sliding groove 323.

A baffle 324 is provided on one side of the sliding block 322, and a limiting member 325 is mounted within the sliding groove 323. The limiting member 325 is equipped with a limiting head 326 that can only rotate in one direction. The sliding groove 323 can limit the lateral movement of the tray, and the baffle 324 and the limiting head 326 cooperate to limit the longitudinal movement of the loading tray 327 or unloading tray 328.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, the spindle 211 is horizontally positioned, and two sets of clamping seats 212 are provided, symmetrically distributed and assembled at both ends of the spindle 211. Correspondingly, two sets of machining tool holders 221 are also provided. This design enables the chamfering machine to process two workpieces at once, and the two workpieces are driven by the same drive source, which greatly improves the processing efficiency and ensures the consistency of processing quality.
