Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of grooving machine technology, and in particular to automatic grooving machines. Background Technology

[0002] A grooving machine, commonly known as a grooving or milling machine, is a machine tool specifically designed to cut grooves or recesses into metal workpieces. Its main function is to cut and mill the workpiece according to a set size and shape by having a cutting tool contact the metal surface, thereby completing the metal part processing task.

[0003] When grooving small metal rings, workers use tweezers to pick up the ring and place it on a grooving machine, which then cuts the grooves. After the metal ring is cut, workers use tweezers to remove it.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that manually gripping a metal ring for grooving is inefficient, and the ring's position on the grooving machine is prone to shifting, thereby reducing the grooving efficiency of the ring. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic grooving machine, which solves the technical problems of low efficiency in manually clamping metal rings for grooving, and the easy displacement of the ring on the grooving machine, which reduces the efficiency of ring grooving.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic grooving machine includes: a frame for supporting the automatic grooving machine; a turntable rotatably mounted on the frame; a conveying assembly mounted on the side of the frame near the turntable for conveying parts onto the turntable; a grooving assembly mounted on the side of the frame near the turntable for grooving parts; and a deburring assembly mounted on the side of the frame near the turntable for deburring parts.

[0008] Furthermore, a rotating motor is provided on the frame, the rotating motor is mounted on the frame, the output shaft of the rotating motor is connected to the turntable, and the turntable is provided with a number of limiting grooves, in which parts are placed.

[0009] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a rotary vibratory feeder mounted on the frame, and a feeding rail is provided on the rotary vibratory feeder, with one end of the feeding rail extending towards the side closer to the turntable.

[0010] Furthermore, the grooving assembly includes a grooving blade that is slidably mounted on the frame and grooves the parts on the turntable.

[0011] Furthermore, the deburring assembly includes a slider that is slidably mounted on the frame, and a push rod is provided on the slider.

[0012] Furthermore, a pressure rod is rotatably mounted on the frame, with the middle part of the pressure rod rotatably mounted on the frame. One end of the pressure rod is rotatably connected to the slider, and an eccentric wheel and a drive motor are provided on the other side of the pressure rod. The drive motor is mounted on the frame, and the eccentric wheel is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0013] Furthermore, the slider is provided with a feeding rod, one end of which is connected to the slider, and the other end extends away from the slider.

[0014] In summary, this application includes at least the following beneficial technical effects of the automatic grooving machine:

[0015] Several parts are placed on the conveying assembly, which conveys the parts sequentially onto the turntable. The turntable then rotates the parts toward one side of the grooving assembly. After the grooving assembly grooves the parts, the parts follow the turntable to one side of the deburring assembly. After the deburring operation is completed, the parts are finished. This eliminates the need for manual clamping of parts for grooving and improves the processing efficiency of the parts.

[0016] By rotating the motor and the limiting groove on the turntable, as well as the feeding rail on the rotating vibratory plate, the stability of the parts placed on the turntable is improved.

[0017] The use of push rods and pressure rods improves the ease of deburring parts. Attached Figure Description

[0023] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0025] This application discloses an automatic grooving machine.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-2 An automatic grooving machine includes a frame 1, on which a turntable 11 is mounted and rotates. A conveying assembly 2, a grooving assembly 3, and a deburring assembly 4 are located on the side of the frame 1 closest to the turntable 11. The conveying assembly 2 transports parts onto the turntable 11, and the parts rotate on the frame 1 along with the turntable 11. During this rotation, the grooving assembly 3 and the deburring assembly 4 perform grooving and deburring on the parts.

[0027] Reference Figures 2-4 A support tray 12 is mounted on the frame 1. A turntable 11 is mounted on the support tray 12, and a rotary motor 13 is mounted on the side of the support tray 12 closest to the frame 1. The output shaft of the rotary motor 13 is connected to the turntable 11, and in use, the rotary motor 13 drives the turntable 11 to rotate. Four limit grooves 14 are evenly spaced around the axis of the turntable 11. Three of the limit grooves 14 correspond to the conveying assembly 2, the grooving assembly 3, and the deburring assembly 4, respectively. The parts are unloaded at the last limit groove 14.

[0028] Reference Figure 2The conveying assembly 2 includes a rotary vibratory feeder 21, which is mounted on the frame 1. A feeding rail 22 is provided on the rotary vibratory feeder 21, with one end connected to the rotary vibratory feeder 21 and the other end extending towards the turntable 11. In use, several parts to be processed are placed on the rotary vibratory feeder 21. As the rotary vibratory feeder 21 vibrates, the parts move towards the feeding rail 22, and from the feeding rail 22, they move to one of the limiting grooves 14 on the vibratory feeder.

[0029] To improve the accuracy of the placement of parts on the turntable 11, a sensor 23 is installed on the side of the feeding rail 22 near the turntable 11. When a part enters the limiting groove 14 of the turntable 11, the sensor 23 senses the part and the rotating motor 13 drives the turntable 11 to rotate, so that the part can enter the next process.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 The grooving assembly 3 includes a grooving blade 31. A drive block 32 and a drive cylinder 33 are mounted on the frame 1. The drive cylinder 33 is mounted on the frame 1, and its piston rod faces towards the side closer to the turntable 11. The drive block 32 is mounted on the piston rod of the drive motor 45, and the cutting blade is mounted on the drive block 32. In use, the cutting groove 34 on the drive block 32 moves towards or away from the turntable 11 under the action of the drive cylinder 33.

[0031] Furthermore, a cutting groove 34 is provided on the tray 12, which is connected to the limiting groove 14. In use, the cutting groove 34 cuts the metal parts, thereby improving the convenience of cutting the metal parts.

[0032] After the grooving cutter 31 finishes grooving the parts, some parts will have a small number of burrs. In order to improve the yield of the parts, it is necessary to deburr the parts.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 The deburring assembly 4 includes a push rod 41, which is vertically arranged. When deburring the ring, a push rod 41 with the same diameter as the inner diameter of the ring is selected and passed through the ring so that the push rod 41 can remove the burrs on the ring.

[0034] To improve the ease of removing burrs from the ring by the push rod 41, a support plate 42 is provided on the frame 1. One end of the support plate 42 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, and the other end of the support plate 42 extends upward toward the turntable 11. A groove 421 is formed on the side of the support plate 42 near the turntable 11. A slider 43 is provided on the support plate 42. The slider 43 is slidably installed in the groove 421 of the support plate 42. The push rod 41 is installed on the slider 43. The push rod 41 slides on the support plate 42 through the slider 43, thereby improving the stability of the sliding of the push rod 41.

[0035] Furthermore, a pressure rod 431 is provided on one side of the frame 1. The middle part of the pressure rod 431 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and one end of the pressure rod 431 extends towards the side close to the slider 43. A connecting rod 44 is provided on the slider 43. The connecting rod 44 is horizontally positioned, and one end of the connecting rod 44 is connected to the slider 43, while the other end passes through the pressure rod 431. In addition, a drive motor 45 and an eccentric wheel 451 are provided on the frame 1. The drive motor 45 is mounted on the frame 1, and the eccentric wheel 451 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 45. In use, the drive motor 45 drives the eccentric wheel to rotate. As the eccentric wheel 451 rotates, the end of the pressure rod 431 away from the turntable 11 tilts up, while the end close to the turntable 11 presses down. As the end of the pressure rod 431 close to the turntable 11 presses down, the slider 43 slides towards the side close to the turntable 11, at which time the push rod 41 passes through the ring.

[0036] In addition, a pull plate 46 is provided on the support plate 42. The pull plate 46 is rectangular in shape, with one end connected to the support plate 42 along its length and the other end extending vertically away from the turntable 11. A tension spring 461 is provided between the pull plate 46 and the slider 43. One end of the tension spring 461 is connected to the side of the pull plate 46 away from the turntable 11, and the other end is connected to the slider 43. In use, the tension spring 461 tensions the slider 43. When the pressure plate presses the slider 43 down, the tension spring 461 is in a tensioned state. When the eccentric wheel 451 rotates away from the pressure rod 431, the tension spring 461 lifts the slider 43 again, thereby enabling the push rod 41 to reciprocate.

[0037] The tray 12 is provided with a feeding trough 15, which is connected to the limiting groove 14. A collection box 47 is provided on the side of the frame 1 near the feeding trough 15, and a collection groove 471 is formed inside the collection box 47. After the part has undergone deburring, the turntable 11 rotates the part towards the side near the feeding trough 15. When the limiting groove 14 is connected to the feeding trough 15, the part falls into the collection groove 471 of the collection box 47 through the feeding trough 15.

[0038] To allow parts to fall from the limiting groove 14 into the collection box 47, a feeding rod 432 is provided on the slider 43. One end of the feeding rod 432 is connected to the slider 43, and the other end extends towards the feeding groove 15. When the slider 43 moves towards the turntable 11 under the action of the pressure rod 431, the feeding rod 432, connected to the slider 43, moves towards the turntable 11 along with the slider 43 as it moves downward. This allows the feeding rod 432 to push the parts in the limiting groove 14 into the feeding groove 15 and drop them into the collection box 47.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
