Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic installation technology for diamond scanning raw materials, specifically an automatic installation device for diamond scanning raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of diamond processing and testing, scanning raw diamonds is a crucial step in obtaining key information such as their internal structure and purity. The installation process before scanning directly impacts scanning efficiency and accuracy. Currently, the installation of raw diamonds for scanning largely relies on manual operation: operators must manually fix the diamond to be scanned onto a holder, connect the holder to the drive unit of the scanning equipment, and finally precisely feed the diamond into the scanning area. This manual installation process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to errors that can lead to inaccurate diamond positioning, affecting the accuracy of the scanning data. Furthermore, repeated manual operations increase the risk of diamonds falling or being damaged, especially for small or high-value diamonds, which can result in significant potential losses.

[0003] While some existing automated installation equipment attempts to replace manual labor, it still has many limitations in practical applications. For example, the docking of the gripper and the equipment's drive components often uses snap-fit ​​or magnetic methods, resulting in insufficient connection stability. Loosening can easily occur during scanning, causing the diamond's position to shift. Some equipment lacks effective limiting mechanisms for the gripper, making it prone to wobbling during automatic docking due to the rotation or movement of the drive components, affecting docking accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, the scanning port, as a critical area of ​​the equipment, often lacks protective structures and is frequently damaged by collisions with the gripper or other components, increasing maintenance costs. Simultaneously, insufficient positioning accuracy of auxiliary components such as trays and movable plates can reduce the continuity of the entire installation process, further restricting the equipment's working efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, we provide an automated diamond scanning raw material loading device. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an automatic installation device for diamond scanning raw materials.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic diamond scanning raw material installation device, comprising a worktable, a housing on the worktable, a miniature electric push rod fixed inside the housing, a miniature motor fixed to the bottom end of the miniature electric push rod via a connecting plate, a connecting rod fixed to the output shaft of the miniature motor, a threaded hole at the bottom end of the connecting rod, and a clamp connected to the connecting rod via a threaded connection, a movable plate on the worktable, a groove at the bottom end of the movable plate, a support plate in the groove, the bottom surface of the support plate overlapping the surface of the worktable, a placement hole in the movable plate, and stops evenly arranged in the placement hole, a scanning port on the surface of the worktable, and a positioning plate on the scanning port, the positioning plate being fixed to the worktable by bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable plate has a cavity, a stop block is disposed in the cavity, and the stop block extends from the cavity into the placement hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided on the side of the movable plate, a limiting block is provided in the limiting groove, and the side of the limiting block is fixed to the inner wall of the shell.

[0011] Furthermore, a handle is fixed to one end of the tray, and a positioning groove is provided at the bottom of the tray, which is compatible with the positioning piece on the worktable.

[0012] Furthermore, a fixing rod is fixed in the chamber, the fixing rod passes through the stop block, and the stop block can slide on the surface of the fixing rod. A spring is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod, one end of the spring overlaps with the inner wall of the chamber, and the other end overlaps with the surface of the stop block.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the stop block is provided with a slider, and the slider is adapted to the groove opened in the chamber.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom end of the connecting rod and the surface of the stop block are provided with a curved arc.

[0015] Furthermore, guide wheel grooves are provided on both sides of the groove, and pulleys are provided in the guide wheel grooves, with the side of the pulleys fixed to the side of the support plate.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects:

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, this automatic raw material loading equipment for stone scanning has the following advantages:

[0018] I. This utility model uses a threaded connection between the clamp and the connecting rod for easy and quick assembly and disassembly. At the same time, the miniature electric push rod can drive the relevant components to move down, accurately feeding the diamond into the scanning port, simplifying the positioning process before diamond scanning. When the miniature motor drives the connecting rod to rotate, the clamp can remain fixed under the limiting action of the stop block. The automatic connection with the connecting rod and upward movement are achieved through threaded engagement, eliminating the need for manual alignment and fixing, thus improving installation efficiency.

[0019] Second, this utility model features a stop block located within a cavity, which provides a stable installation and movement space. Combined with the support and guidance of the fixed rod and the elastic force of the spring, the stop block's extension and retraction movements are smooth, preventing shaking or jamming and ensuring reliable limiting effect on the clamp. The slider on the surface of the stop block is adapted to the groove in the cavity, further enhancing the stability of the stop block's sliding and ensuring the clamp's position is fixed during threaded connection.

[0020] Third, this utility model uses the curvature design of the connecting rod and the surface of the stop block to automatically squeeze or release the stop block when the clamp moves up and down. Combined with the spring force, the stop block is automatically limited, reducing manual intervention. The tray and the movable plate are connected by pulleys, which converts sliding friction into rolling friction, reduces pushing and pulling resistance, and makes operation more labor-saving.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] like Figure 1-10 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic diamond scanning raw material installation device, including a worktable 2, a housing 1 set on the worktable 2, a micro electric push rod 10 fixed inside the housing 1, a micro motor 8 fixed to the bottom end of the micro electric push rod 10 through a connecting plate 9, a connecting rod 7 fixed to the output shaft of the micro motor 8, a threaded hole 22 opened at the bottom end of the connecting rod 7, and a clamp 6 connected by a thread. The threaded connection facilitates the connection between the fixed clamp 6 and the connecting rod 7, realizing automatic tightening and fixing. After the clamp 6 is connected to the connecting rod 7, the diamond in the clamp 6 needs to be scanned. At the same time, the micro electric push rod 10 can drive the micro motor 8 and the connecting rod 7 to move downward through the connecting plate 9, which facilitates the downward movement of the diamond-bearing clamp 6 to send the diamond to be scanned to the scanning port 14 opened on the surface of the worktable 2. The scanning port 14 is provided with a positioning piece 13, which is fixed to the worktable 2 by bolts. The positioning piece 13 can protect the scanning port 14 and also limit the position of the support plate 4.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, a movable plate 3 is set on the workbench 2, and a placement hole 11 is opened in the movable plate 3. Stops 15 are evenly arranged in the placement hole 11. The stops 15 can limit the clamp 6 placed in the placement hole 11. When the micro motor 8 drives the connecting rod 7 to rotate, the clamp 6 and the connecting rod 7 are connected by the threaded hole 22. When the threaded connection is made, the clamp 6 remains stationary due to the limiting effect of the stops 15. When the connecting rod 7 rotates, it will engage with the thread on the surface of the clamp 6 through the thread in the threaded hole 22, and gradually drive the clamp 6 to move upward until the clamp 6 with diamond is fixed between it and the connecting rod 7.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, a chamber 18 is formed in the movable plate 3. A portion of the stop block 15 is disposed in the chamber 18, and the stop block 15 extends from the chamber 18 into the placement hole 11. The chamber 18 provides space for the installation and movement of the stop block 15, making the extension and retraction of the stop block 15 more stable and preventing the stop block 15 from shaking during operation. A fixing rod 24 is fixed in the chamber 18, and the fixing rod 24 passes through the stop block 15, and the stop block 15 can slide on the surface of the fixing rod 24. The fixing rod 24 provides support for the sliding of the stop block 15. The support and guidance make the movement of the stop block 15 more stable; a spring 23 is sleeved on the surface of the fixed rod 24. One end of the spring 23 overlaps with the inner wall of the chamber 18, and the other end overlaps with the surface of the stop block 15. The curved arc set at the bottom of the connecting rod 7 and the surface of the stop block 15 can be used to push the stop block 15 into the chamber 18 by moving the clamp 6 downward with the connecting rod 7. When the clamp 6 moves upward, the elastic force of the spring 23 will push the stop block 15 out of the chamber 18 to achieve the limitation of the stop block 15.

[0036] like Figure 5 and 7 As shown, the bottom of the movable plate 3 has a groove 16, in which a support plate 4 is placed. The bottom surface of the support plate 4 overlaps with the surface of the workbench 2. One end of the support plate 4 is fixed with a handle 21. The handle 21 makes it convenient for the operator to push and pull the support plate 4, improving the ease of operation. The bottom of the support plate 4 has a positioning groove 20, which is compatible with the positioning piece 13 on the workbench 2. The cooperation between the positioning groove 20 and the positioning piece 13 can quickly position the support plate 4, ensuring that the support plate 4 is accurately positioned on the workbench 2 and improving the working efficiency of the equipment. When a diamond-bearing clamp 6 is needed, the support plate 4 is installed. After installation, the support plate 4 will form a barrier at the bottom of the placement hole 11, so that the clamp 6 can be placed into the placement hole 11 for automatic installation.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, a limiting groove 12 is provided on the side of the movable plate 3, and a limiting block 5 is provided in the limiting groove 12. The side of the limiting block 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1. The cooperation between the limiting groove 12 and the limiting block 5 can guide and restrict the movement of the movable plate 3, prevent the movable plate 3 from deviating during the movement, and ensure the cooperation accuracy between the various parts of the equipment.

[0038] like Figure 10 As shown, the surface of the stop 15 is provided with a slider 25, and the slider 25 is adapted to the sliding groove opened in the chamber 18. The cooperation between the slider 25 and the sliding groove further improves the stability of the sliding of the stop 15 and avoids the stop 15 from getting stuck or deviating during the movement.

[0039] like Figure 7As shown, guide wheel grooves 17 are provided on both sides of the groove 16, and pulleys 19 are provided in the guide wheel grooves 17. The side of the pulley 19 is fixed to the side of the support plate 4. The pulley 19 can convert the sliding friction between the support plate 4 and the movable plate 3 into rolling friction, reduce the friction force, and make the push and pull of the support plate 4 smoother and easier.

[0040] Working principle: During use, the operator places the diamond to be scanned into the holder 6, and places the holder 6 with the diamond between the stops 15 in the placement holes 11 of the movable plate 3. The micro motor 8 drives the electric connecting rod 7 to rotate, and connects to the holder 6 through the threaded hole 22 at the bottom of the connecting rod 7. During the threaded connection, the holder 6 remains stationary due to the limiting effect of the stops 15. The rotation of the connecting rod 7 will engage with the threads on the surface of the holder 6 through the threads in the threaded hole 22, gradually driving the holder 6 upward until the holder 6 with the diamond is fixed to the connecting rod 7. After the holder 6 is fixed to the connecting rod 7, the operator pulls the handle 21 to pull the tray 4 out of the groove 16. At the same time, the pulley 19 will slide in the guide wheel groove 17. After the tray 4 is removed, the micro electric push rod 10 is activated. The micro motor 8, connecting rod 7, and clamp 6 move downwards. The curvature of the bottom end of the connecting rod 7 and the surface of the baffle pushes the stop block 15 into the cavity 18. At the same time, the connecting rod 7 passes through the placement hole 11 and sends the clamp 6 into the scanning port 14. The micro electric push rod 10 is stopped, and the micro motor 8 is started to drive the clamp 6 to rotate. At the same time, the external computer is started to scan the diamond on the clamp 6. After the scan is completed, the micro electric push rod 10 moves upwards and pulls the clamp 6 back into the placement hole 11 in the movable plate 3. The spring 23 in the cavity 18 will push the stop block 15 out of the cavity 18 under the action of elasticity and limit the clamp 6. Then the support plate 4 is reinserted into the groove 16. Finally, the micro motor 8 is reversed and the clamp 6 is removed from the connecting rod 7 under the action of the stop block 15. Then the next diamond to be scanned can be replaced.
