Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of machining technology, and in particular to a polishing device. Background Technology

[0002] During the machining process, the surface of the produced parts (such as photovoltaic parts) may have defects such as burrs and scratches, so it is necessary to polish and clean the surface of the parts to improve the product quality.

[0003] Existing methods for polishing and cleaning parts typically involve manual polishing, such as manually grinding the parts with sandpaper or abrasive wheels. However, this manual polishing method is labor-intensive, thus reducing polishing efficiency. Furthermore, the polishing process generates dust and other substances harmful to human health, making it impossible for personnel to perform polishing work for extended periods, further reducing the polishing efficiency of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a polishing device with higher polishing efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A polishing apparatus includes a frame, a polishing mechanism, and a drive mechanism. The polishing mechanism is rotatably connected to the frame and has a polishing cavity formed within it to accommodate the workpiece to be polished. The polishing cavity contains polishing media. The drive mechanism is mounted on the frame and is drively connected to the polishing mechanism to drive the polishing mechanism to rotate or oscillate, so that the polishing media in the polishing cavity polishes the workpiece to be polished.

[0007] Furthermore, the polishing mechanism has an opening for placing the workpiece to be polished. The polishing equipment includes a polishing cover and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is installed on the polishing mechanism, and the polishing cover covers the opening and is connected to or abuts against the polishing mechanism through the locking mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a locking shaft rotatably connected to the polishing mechanism and a locking member mounted on the locking shaft. The locking member has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking member is in the locked state, the polishing cover covers the opening, and the locking member abuts or connects with the polishing cover. When the locking member is in the unlocked state, the locking member separates from the polishing cover, and the polishing cover can separate from the opening.

[0009] Furthermore, the polishing mechanism includes connecting surfaces located on both sides of the opening, and the polishing cover includes a cover body and two connecting parts located on both sides of the cover body. When the cover body covers the opening, the two connecting parts respectively abut or engage with the connecting surfaces.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking component includes a first section and a second section, which are integrally formed or fixedly connected. The first section and the second section form an "L"-shaped structure. The two ends of the first section are respectively connected to one end of the second section and the locking shaft. The first section abuts against or connects to the polishing mechanism. The second section has a force acting on the first section, which enables the first section to press against the polishing cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking mechanism also includes an abutment wheel mounted on the locking shaft, which can cooperate with the locking element to lock the polished cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor and a transmission component. The drive motor is mounted on the frame, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the transmission component. The transmission component is connected to the polishing mechanism so that the drive motor can drive the polishing mechanism through the transmission component.

[0013] Furthermore, the transmission component includes two pulleys and a transmission belt that drives the two pulleys, with the two pulleys respectively fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor and the polishing mechanism; or, the transmission component includes at least one first transmission gear and two second transmission gears respectively fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor and the polishing mechanism, with the two second transmission gears being drivenly connected through the first transmission gear.

[0014] Furthermore, the polishing equipment includes a control module mounted on the frame, which is electrically connected to the drive mechanism for controlling the drive mechanism; the control module includes a display screen that can display data information of the polishing equipment, and the display screen can also control the drive mechanism.

[0015] Furthermore, the polishing equipment also includes a receiving tray, which is located below the polishing mechanism and is used to output the workpiece to be polished; the polishing equipment also includes a screen and a collection box, which is located below the receiving tray and between the screen and the receiving tray. The receiving tray is also used to output the polishing medium, and the screen is used to collect the filtered polishing medium into the collection box.

[0016] The aforementioned polishing equipment can place the workpiece to be polished into the polishing chamber and mix it with the polishing medium. The polishing mechanism is driven to rotate or swing through the drive mechanism to achieve automatic polishing of the polishing medium. There is no need for manual polishing and cleaning, which helps to improve the polishing efficiency of the polishing equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, this application provides a polishing device 100, which includes a frame 11, a polishing mechanism 12, and a drive mechanism 13. The frame 11 supports the polishing mechanism 12 and the drive mechanism 13. The polishing mechanism 12 polishes the workpiece to be polished, and the drive mechanism 13 controls the operation of the polishing mechanism 12, thereby achieving automatic polishing of the workpiece. This configuration eliminates the need for manual polishing, reducing labor intensity and improving the polishing efficiency of the polishing device 100. Furthermore, it avoids the health hazards of dust during polishing, improving polishing safety and preventing shortened polishing time due to dust-related health risks, further enhancing the polishing efficiency of the polishing device 100.

[0026] Specifically, the polishing mechanism 12 is rotatably connected to the frame 11, and a polishing cavity 121 is formed within the polishing mechanism 12 to accommodate the workpiece to be polished. The polishing cavity 121 contains a polishing medium. With this configuration, automatic polishing of the workpiece is achieved through contact between the polishing medium and the workpiece. In some embodiments, the polishing medium can be diamond abrasive, and the polishing and cleaning of the workpiece is achieved through friction between the diamond abrasive and the workpiece.

[0027] It should be noted that the polishing medium can also be electrolytes or other substances, as long as it can polish the medium to be polished. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0028] More specifically, the drive mechanism 13 is mounted on the frame 11 and is connected to the polishing mechanism 12 for transmission, so as to drive the polishing mechanism 12 to rotate or swing, so that the polishing medium in the polishing cavity 121 polishes the workpiece to be polished. With this arrangement, during the rotation or swing of the polishing mechanism 12, the polishing medium and the workpiece to be polished can be in full contact, which is beneficial to improving the polishing quality and polishing efficiency of the polishing equipment 100.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the polishing mechanism 12 has an opening 122 for placing the workpiece to be polished, that is, the workpiece to be polished can be placed in the polishing cavity 121 through the opening 122.

[0030] Specifically, the polishing equipment 100 includes a polishing cover 14 and a locking mechanism 15. The locking mechanism 15 is mounted on the polishing mechanism 12, and the polishing cover 14 covers the opening 122. The polishing cover 14 can be connected to or abut against the polishing mechanism 12 through the locking mechanism 15. With this configuration, during the polishing process, the workpiece to be polished and the polishing medium can be prevented from detaching from the polishing cavity 121 through the opening 122, thereby improving the polishing stability of the polishing equipment 100.

[0031] In one embodiment, the locking mechanism 15 includes a locking shaft 151 and a locking member 152. The locking shaft 151 is rotatably connected to the polishing mechanism 12, and the locking member 152 is mounted on the locking shaft 151. The locking member 152 includes a locked state and an unlocked state.

[0032] Specifically, when the locking member 152 is in the locked state, the polishing cover 14 covers the opening 122, and the locking member 152 abuts against or connects with the polishing cover 14. With this configuration, when the polishing equipment 100 is performing polishing, the locking member 152 in the locked state ensures that the polishing cover 14 stably covers the opening 122, preventing the polishing workpiece and polishing medium from detaching from the polishing chamber 121, thereby improving the polishing stability of the polishing equipment 100.

[0033] When the locking element 152 is in the unlocked state, the locking element 152 separates from the polishing cover 14, and the polishing cover 14 can separate from the opening 122. This configuration facilitates the feeding and unloading of the workpiece to be polished and the replacement of the polishing medium, thereby improving the ease of use of the polishing equipment 100.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the polishing mechanism 12 includes connecting surfaces 123 located on both sides of the opening 122. The two connecting surfaces 123 are located on both sides of the opening 122 along the rotation or swing direction of the polishing mechanism 12. The polishing cover 14 includes a cover body 141 and two connecting portions 142 located on both sides of the cover body 141. When the cover body 141 covers the opening 122, the two connecting portions 142 respectively abut or engage with the connecting surfaces 123. This arrangement limits the connection position between the polishing cover 14 and the polishing mechanism 12, preventing the polishing cover 14 from failing to cover the opening 122, and improving the assembly stability of the polishing cover 14 and the polishing mechanism 12.

[0035] In one embodiment, the locking member 152 includes a first segment 1521 and a second segment 1522, which are integrally formed or fixedly connected. The two ends of the first segment 1521 are respectively connected to one end of the second segment 1522 and the locking shaft 151. The first segment 1521 abuts against or connects the polishing cover 14 to the polishing mechanism 12. This configuration allows the first segment 1521 to limit the position of the polishing cover 14, ensuring a stable connection between the polishing cover 14 and the polishing mechanism 12, thereby facilitating a stable coverage of the opening 122 by the polishing cover 14.

[0036] Specifically, the second segment 1522 exerts a force on the first segment 1521, which causes the first segment 1521 to press against the polishing cover 14. In some embodiments, the second segment 1522 uses its own gravity to press the first segment 1521 against the polishing cover 14, thus eliminating the need to apply additional force to the first segment 1521 to achieve the pressing or connection between the polishing cover 14 and the polishing mechanism 12, which helps to simplify the structure of the polishing equipment 100.

[0037] More specifically, the first segment 1521 and the second segment 1522 form an "L" shape. This arrangement allows the locking member 152 to fit more tightly with the polishing mechanism 12 when the locking member 152 is in the locked state, thereby improving the structural compactness of the polishing equipment 100.

[0038] It should be noted that the first segment 1521 and the second segment 1522 can also be formed into "Y" shape, "T" shape or other structures, as long as the force of the second segment 1522 can make the first segment 1521 press against the polishing mechanism 12. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment, the locking mechanism 15 further includes a torsion spring 153. The two ends of the torsion spring 153 are connected to the locking shaft 151 and the polishing mechanism 12, respectively. The torsion spring 153 has a preload force acting on the locking shaft 151. This preload force drives the locking shaft 151 to rotate, causing the locking shaft 151 to rotate the locking member 152 towards the locked state, thereby causing the locking member 152 to abut or connect with the polishing cover 14. With this configuration, the preload force provided by the torsion spring 153 allows the polishing cover 14 to stably cover the opening 122, preventing leakage of the workpiece to be polished and the polishing medium, thus improving the working stability of the polishing equipment 100.

[0040] It should be noted that this application does not limit the form of the fixed polishing cover 14, as long as the polishing cover 14 can stably cover the opening 122 when the locking member 152 is in the locked state.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the locking mechanism 15 further includes an abutment wheel 154 mounted on the locking shaft 151. The abutment wheel 154 can cooperate with the locking member 152 to lock the polishing cover 14. With this configuration, when the locking member 152 is in the locked state, the abutment wheel 154 can abut against the polishing cover 14, thereby further increasing the force acting on the polishing cover 14, and thus further improving the connection stability between the polishing cover 14 and the polishing mechanism 12.

[0042] It should be noted that the abutment wheel 154 and the locking shaft 151 can be rotatably connected or fixedly connected. It is sufficient that the abutment wheel 154 can abut against the polished cover 14 when the locking member 152 is in the locked state. Furthermore, the number of abutment wheels 154 in this application is at least one.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the drive mechanism 13 includes a drive motor 131 and a transmission component 132. The drive motor 131 is mounted on the frame 11, and the output shaft of the drive motor 131 is connected to the transmission component 132. The transmission component 132 is connected to the polishing mechanism 12, so that the drive motor 131 can drive the polishing mechanism 12 through the transmission component 132. With this configuration, the drive motor 131 and the transmission component 132 can drive the polishing mechanism 12 to rotate or oscillate, so that the polishing medium and the workpiece to be polished in the polishing cavity 121 can be fully mixed, which is beneficial to improving the polishing effect and polishing efficiency of the polishing equipment 100.

[0044] Specifically, the transmission component 132 includes two pulleys 1321 and a transmission belt 1322 connecting the two pulleys 1321. The two pulleys 1321 are respectively fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 131 and the polishing mechanism 12. With this configuration, the drive motor 131 can drive the polishing mechanism 12 to rotate or oscillate through the transmission of the pulleys 1321 and the transmission belt 1322, thereby achieving the polishing of the workpiece to be polished.

[0045] In another embodiment, the transmission component 132 includes at least one first transmission gear (not shown) and two second transmission gears (not shown). The two second transmission gears are respectively fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 131 and the polishing mechanism 12, and are connected via the first transmission gear. This configuration allows the drive motor 131 to drive the polishing mechanism 12 to rotate via the first and second transmission gears. Optionally, the two second transmission gears can also be directly meshed to achieve transmission between the drive motor 131 and the polishing mechanism 12.

[0046] It should be noted that this application does not limit the form of the transmission component 132, as long as the drive motor 131 can drive the polishing mechanism 12 to rotate through the transmission component 132.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the polishing equipment 100 includes a control module 16 mounted on the frame 11. The control module 16 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 13. The control module 16 is used to control the drive mechanism 13, thereby controlling the polishing equipment 100 to perform polishing, so as to achieve automatic polishing.

[0048] Specifically, the control module 16 includes a display screen 161, which can display data information of the polishing equipment 100. For example, the display screen 161 can display the total weight of the polishing medium and the workpiece to be polished within the polishing cavity 121, thereby facilitating the control of the number of workpieces to be polished within the polishing cavity 121. This avoids excessive workpieces leading to incomplete polishing, thus improving the polishing quality of the workpieces to be polished by the polishing equipment 100. Secondly, it also avoids insufficient workpieces leading to reduced polishing efficiency, thereby improving the polishing efficiency of the polishing equipment 100.

[0049] More specifically, the display screen 161 can also control the drive mechanism 13. For example, the display screen 161 can control the rotational speed of the drive mechanism 13. This configuration can further improve the automation level of the polishing equipment 100, thereby further improving the polishing efficiency of the polishing equipment 100.

[0050] In some embodiments, the control module 16 is a control cabinet, which controls the operation of the polishing equipment 100.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the polishing apparatus 100 also includes a receiving tray 17, which is located below the polishing mechanism 12 and is used to output the workpiece to be polished. With this configuration, after polishing is completed, the polishing mechanism 12 is rotated so that the opening 122 faces the receiving tray 17, thereby facilitating the collection of the polished workpiece.

[0052] Specifically, the polishing equipment 100 also includes a screen (not shown) and a collection box 18. The collection box 18 is located below the receiving tray 17, and the screen is located between the collection box 18 and the receiving tray 17. The receiving tray 17 is also used to output polishing media, and the screen is used to collect the filtered polishing media into the collection box 18. This arrangement allows the screen to filter impurities during the polishing process, separating them from the polishing media and enabling the polishing media to be reused, thus improving the utilization rate of the polishing media.

[0053] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
