Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an automatic identification and clamping device based on a brake disc with cast characters on the end face. Background Technology
[0002] The existing brake disc end face has cast lettering and mounting holes, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cast lettering coincides with the pitch circle of the mounting hole. During drilling, the robot grabs the brake disc and randomly places it into the machining center. The machining center cannot identify the position of the cast lettering on the end face of the brake disc. When the drill bit is drilling, the cast lettering is at risk of being drilled off, resulting in product scrap and affecting the product qualification rate. To address this, we propose an automatic identification and clamping device based on the brake disc with cast lettering on the end face. Utility Model Content

[0032] The first bracket 5 is slidably mounted on the other end of the guide rail 3, and a first pressure plate 6 is rotatably mounted on one side of the first bracket 5, so that the brake disc can be pressed and fixed by the cooperation of the first pressure plate 6 and the second pressure plate 8, thereby facilitating the subsequent rotation of the brake disc to adjust the angle.
[0033] Drive cylinder 4 is fixed to one end face of base plate 1 to drive the first bracket 5 to move so that the first pressure plate 6 and the second pressure plate 8 clamp the brake disc, which facilitates automatic rotation adjustment of the brake disc.
[0034] A rotating component is located on the other side of the first bracket 5 to identify the surface of the brake disc and drive it to rotate and adjust, so as to adjust the brake disc to a suitable angle so that the robot arm can subsequently grasp and place it in the machine tool for drilling, avoiding the influence of drilling on the surface of the brake disc.
[0035] Preferably, the rotating assembly includes a depth sensor 11, a vision sensor 12, and a rotating structure. The rotating structure is installed on the other side of the first bracket 5 to drive the brake disc to rotate via the first pressure plate 6.

The first bracket 5 has a tensioning structure for adjusting the tension of the transmission belt 103.
[0037] This facilitates the rotation of the first pressure plate 6, thereby adjusting the angle of the brake disc.
[0038] Preferably, the tensioning structure includes a movable block 151, a tensioning wheel 152, and an adjusting bolt 153. The movable block 151 is slidably mounted on the first bracket 5, and the tensioning wheel 152, which contacts the transmission belt 103, is rotatably connected to one side of the movable block 151.

[0045] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: The existing brake disc 2, as shown in... Figure 5 As shown, the brake disc 2 has cast lettering 201 and mounting holes 202 on its end face. When clamping and adjusting the brake disc 2, the gantry robot grabs the brake disc 2 from the previous process and places it into this device. The drive cylinder 4 drives the first support 5 to move, so that the first pressure plate 6 on the first support 5 presses the end of the brake disc 2 onto the second pressure plate 8. After the end is pressed into place, the rotary motor 101 drives the rotating shaft 104 to rotate through the transmission belt 103, thereby driving the brake disc 2 to rotate through the first pressure plate 6. The depth sensor 11 and the vision sensor 12 are activated. The vision sensor 12 identifies the areas with cast lettering 201 and areas without cast lettering 201 on the surface of the brake disc 2, and the depth sensor 11 identifies the height difference between the cast lettering 201 and the end face. After the two sensors summarize the information, they transmit the signal to the rotary motor 101. The rotary motor 101 drives the brake disc 2 to rotate to a specified angle, and then the robot grabs the brake disc 2 and places it into the next process. This can effectively avoid damage to the cast lettering 201 of the brake disc 2 during machining in the machining center and ensure the product qualification rate.
