Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of materials processing, and in particular to a semi-automatic decorative material drawing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the decorative material processing industry, with the market's increasing demand for aesthetics and personalization, the art of decorative material embellishment is gaining importance. Decorative material embellishment adds unique textures and patterns to the surface of decorative materials, enhancing product added value and market competitiveness. The development of embellishment technology has led to its wider application in numerous industries such as architectural decoration and furniture manufacturing, enriching decorative effects and meeting the aesthetic needs of diverse consumers. At the same time, the performance and efficiency of embellishment equipment directly affect the quality and cost of decorative material production; therefore, developing efficient and stable embellishment equipment has become crucial for the industry's development.

[0003] In the past, the common practice in decorative material carving was by hand. Workers used simple hand tools and relied on their experience and skills to carve patterns on the surface of the material. This method was relatively flexible and could produce a variety of patterns according to different design requirements. In addition, some early automated carving machines were used. These machines were often large, stationary pieces of equipment that used preset programs to control the cutters or molds to perform carving operations on the material, enabling a certain degree of mass production. Furthermore, some manufacturers also used stencil printing. They first created stencils with patterns, and then printed pigments or paints onto the surface of the material through the stencils to achieve the visual effect of carving.

[0004] However, manual latte art has significant drawbacks. It is inefficient, and the quality is highly dependent on the worker's skill level, making it difficult to guarantee consistency and accuracy. Problems such as inconsistent pattern depth and uneven lines are common. Early automated latte art machines, while capable of mass production, were expensive, bulky, and required a large floor space, making them unsuitable for small businesses or scenarios requiring flexible production. Furthermore, these machines are complex to adjust and maintain, and repair costs are high in case of malfunctions, disrupting normal production schedules. Template printing, on the other hand, can only produce fixed patterns, lacking flexibility and innovation, and failing to meet the increasingly diverse market demands. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issues related to decorative pattern making in the prior art, this application provides a semi-automatic decorative pattern making device.

[0006] This application provides a semi-automatic decorative material drawing device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A semi-automatic decorative material knurling device includes a base, on which a knurling wheel is horizontally slidably disposed. The base is also provided with a placement platform for placing workpieces to be knurled, with the knurling wheel located above the placement platform. The base is also provided with a drive mechanism for driving the knurling wheel to rotate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a knurling wheel is horizontally slidably installed on the base of the semi-automatic decorative material knurling equipment. A placement platform for placing the workpiece to be knurled is also provided, with the knurling wheel located above the placement platform. The base is equipped with a drive mechanism to drive the knurling wheel to rotate, which can perform knurling operations on the decorative materials placed on the platform. This avoids the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing quality in manual knurling, and also overcomes the shortcomings of early automated knurling machines, such as high cost, large size, and lack of flexibility in template printing. It can achieve a certain degree of flexibility in decorative material knurling with relatively low cost and small size, thereby improving knurling efficiency and quality.

[0009] Preferably, the base is provided with a slide rail, a knurling platform is slidably connected to the slide rail, a robotic arm is rotatably connected to the knurling platform, the rotation axis of the robotic arm is horizontally set, the drive mechanism is set at one end of the robotic arm, the knurling wheel is set at the other end of the robotic arm, and a return spring is also provided at the end of the robotic arm near the drive mechanism. One end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the robotic arm, and the other end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the knurling platform.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the slide rail and knurling platform enable the knurling wheel to slide horizontally, facilitating knurling operations at different positions on the workpiece to be knurled; the reset spring enables the robotic arm to automatically reset, ensuring the continuity and stability of the knurling operation, improving knurling efficiency and quality, and avoiding knurling errors caused by inaccurate manual adjustment of the robotic arm position.

[0011] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor mounted on the knurling platform, and a drive wheel and a driven wheel are rotatably mounted on the robotic arm. The drive wheel is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the driven wheel is fixedly connected to the knurling wheel. A transmission belt is provided between the drive wheel and the driven wheel.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor drives the active wheel, which in turn drives the driven wheel via the transmission belt to rotate the knurling wheel, thus achieving semi-automatic knurling operation. This avoids the problems of low efficiency, reliance on worker skill level, and poor consistency and accuracy of patterns associated with manual knurling. Compared with early automated knurling machines, this drive mechanism has lower cost and a relatively simpler structure, reducing equipment and maintenance costs, and is more suitable for small businesses or flexible production scenarios.

[0013] Preferably, the robotic arm is also equipped with a tensioning wheel.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a tensioning wheel is installed on the robotic arm, which can tension the transmission belt, ensure the transmission effect of the transmission belt, and improve the operational stability of the equipment.

[0015] Preferably, the robotic arm is provided with an adjustment groove, and a connecting rod is horizontally arranged in the adjustment groove. One end of the connecting rod is threaded with a locking nut, and the other end of the connecting rod is provided with a locking disc. The tensioning wheel is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the locking nut.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the tensioning wheel is installed through a connecting rod set in the adjustment slot of the robotic arm. Tightening or loosening the locking nut allows the connecting rod to move along the adjustment slot, thereby adjusting the position of the tensioning wheel. This effectively tensions the transmission belt, ensuring power transmission effect and stability, improving the quality of the lace pattern and the working efficiency of the equipment, and avoiding problems such as slippage and power loss caused by the loose transmission belt.

[0017] Preferably, the driven wheel is fixedly connected to a transmission rod, the transmission rod is provided with a snap-fit ​​strip, the knurled wheel is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove that forms a snap-fit ​​engagement with the snap-fit ​​strip, and the knurled wheel is horizontally slidably disposed on the transmission rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the knurling wheel is engaged with the transmission rod and can be horizontally slidably mounted on the transmission rod, which facilitates the adjustment of the knurling position in the horizontal direction.

[0019] Preferably, the robotic arm is provided with a knurling handle at the end near the knurling wheel.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the semi-automatic decorative material knurling equipment can overcome the problems of low efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing quality in manual knurling, as well as the high cost and inflexibility of early automated knurling machines. By setting a knurling handle at the end of the robotic arm near the knurling wheel, the operator can easily control the knurling wheel, improve the convenience and flexibility of the knurling operation, and facilitate the smooth completion of the knurling operation on the workpiece to be knurled.

[0021] Preferably, a rubber pad is provided on the placement platform.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, rubber pads are placed on the platform to prevent the workpiece from moving during processing, thus avoiding damage to the workpiece to be knurled, improving the quality of the knurling, and ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the pattern.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The knurling wheel can slide horizontally on the base and is driven to rotate by the drive mechanism, realizing semi-automatic knurling, improving knurling efficiency, and solving the problem of low efficiency in manual knurling;

[0025] 2. Compared to earlier automated latte art machines, this equipment is lower in cost and smaller in size, making it suitable for small businesses or scenarios requiring flexible production, thus reducing equipment costs and floor space. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] This application discloses a semi-automatic decorative material drawing device.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A semi-automatic decorative material knurling device includes a base 1, a knurling wheel 2, a placement platform 3, and a drive mechanism 4. The knurling wheel 2 is horizontally slidably mounted on the base 1. The placement platform 3 is mounted on the base 1 for placing the workpiece to be knurled. The knurling wheel 2 is located above the placement platform 3. The drive mechanism 4 is mounted on the base 1 for driving the knurling wheel 2 to rotate. This configuration allows the knurling wheel 2 to perform knurling operations on the decorative material placed on the platform under the drive of the drive mechanism 4, improving knurling efficiency, reducing reliance on manual skills, and ensuring consistent knurling quality.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A slide rail 5 is provided on the base 1, and a knurling platform 6 is slidably connected to the slide rail 5. The knurling platform 6 moves horizontally along the slide rail 5, thereby driving the knurling wheel 2 to adjust its position. A robotic arm 7 is rotatably connected to the knurling platform 6. The robotic arm 7 can rotate around the connection point with the knurling platform 6. The rotation axis of the robotic arm 7 is set horizontally, realizing the angle adjustment of the knurling wheel 2 in the vertical direction.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A return spring 8 is also provided at one end of the robotic arm 7 near the drive mechanism 4. One end of the return spring 8 is fixedly connected to the robotic arm 7, and the other end is fixedly connected to the knurling platform 6. When the robotic arm 7 rotates, the return spring 8 can return it to its initial position, facilitating the next knurling operation. The return spring 8 is generally made of spring steel, which has good elasticity and fatigue life.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The knurling wheel 2 is a key component for achieving the knurling function. It is typically made of alloy steel with various patterns engraved on its surface. Its shape is generally cylindrical to ensure a uniform pattern is left when it rolls over the decorative material. The patterns on the knurling wheel 2 can be customized according to different design requirements, such as straight lines, waves, or circles. It slides horizontally on the base 1, allowing for flexible position adjustment to accommodate the knurling needs of materials of different sizes and shapes.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The placement platform 3 is used to place the workpiece to be knurled, i.e., the decorative material. To prevent the decorative material from slipping during the knurling process and affecting the knurling effect, a rubber pad 21 is installed on the placement platform 3. The rubber pad 21 has good friction and can effectively fix the decorative material. It can be made of natural rubber, which has good elasticity and wear resistance; or it can be made of synthetic rubber, which has good chemical stability and can adapt to different working environments.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drive mechanism 4 is used to drive the knurling wheel 2 to rotate. The drive mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 41 mounted on the knurling platform 6, and a drive wheel 9 and a driven wheel 10 rotatably mounted on the robotic arm 7. The drive wheel 9 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 41, and the driven wheel 10 is fixedly connected to the knurling wheel 2. A transmission belt 11 is provided between the drive wheel 9 and the driven wheel 10. The transmission belt 11 can be a V-belt or a synchronous belt. V-belts provide smooth transmission and can buffer vibrations; synchronous belts provide high transmission precision and can ensure the synchronous rotation of the drive wheel 9 and the driven wheel 10.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The robotic arm 7 is also equipped with a tensioning wheel 12 for tensioning the transmission belt 11, used to adjust the tension of the transmission belt 11. The robotic arm 7 has an adjustment groove 13, within which a connecting rod 14 is horizontally positioned. One end of the connecting rod 14 is threadedly connected to a locking nut 15, and the other end is fitted with a locking disc 16. The tensioning wheel 12 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 14 furthest from the locking nut 15. By adjusting the position of the connecting rod 14 within the adjustment groove 13, the pressure of the tensioning wheel 12 on the transmission belt 11 can be changed, thereby adjusting the tension of the transmission belt 11. After the position is adjusted, the locking nut 15 is tightened, causing the locking disc 16 to press firmly against the robotic arm 7, fixing the position of the connecting rod 14.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The driven wheel 10 is fixedly connected to a transmission rod 17, and a snap-fit ​​strip 18 is provided on the transmission rod 17. The knurling wheel 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 19 that engages with the snap-fit ​​strip 18, and the knurling wheel 2 is horizontally slidably mounted on the transmission rod 17. This snap-fit ​​engagement allows the knurling wheel 2 to rotate together with the driven wheel 10, while also sliding horizontally on the transmission rod 17, facilitating the adjustment of the horizontal position of the knurling wheel 2 and achieving multi-position knurling.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The robotic arm 7 is equipped with a knurling handle 20 at one end near the knurling wheel 2. The operator can hold the knurling handle 20 to push the robotic arm 7 to rotate and the knurling platform 6 to slide, thereby controlling the rolling path of the knurling wheel 2 on the surface of the decorative material and achieving more flexible knurling operation.

[0040] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: This semi-automatic decorative material drawing equipment combines a mechanical structure and a drive mechanism 4 to achieve a semi-automatic drawing function for decorative materials. Compared with manual drawing, it improves drawing efficiency, reduces reliance on worker skills, and ensures consistent drawing quality. Compared with earlier automated drawing machines, it has a simpler structure, lower cost, smaller footprint, and is easier to adjust and maintain, making it more suitable for small businesses and flexible production scenarios. By setting components such as rubber pads 21, reset springs 8, and tension wheels 12, the stability and reliability of the equipment are further improved.

[0041] 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.
