Detailed Implementation

[0021] The preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This utility model provides a pin burr removal device for simultaneously removing multiple pin burrs on the same surface of aluminum alloy products, which improves the efficiency and quality of deburring, and reduces labor intensity and production costs.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of a ejector pin burr removal device, which includes a base 1 and a power frame 2 located above the base 1 and capable of vertical movement relative to the base 1. A burr removal unit is mounted on the power frame 2. The power frame 2 achieves vertical movement via a moving module, allowing the burr removal unit to approach or move away from the product, thereby achieving the removal of ejector pin burrs. The moving module is a conventional technique in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] The deburring unit includes a motor 3, a multi-spindle unit 4, and multiple deburring brush heads 5. The motor 3 is a three-phase asynchronous motor, providing driving force for the entire deburring process. The multi-spindle unit 4 is located on the power frame 2 and includes a main rotating shaft 41 connected to the output shaft of the motor 3, and several branch rotating shafts 42 that are interconnected with the main rotating shaft 41. The multi-spindle unit transmits the motor's power to the multiple branch rotating shafts 42 via couplings, enabling one motor to drive multiple deburring brush heads to rotate synchronously.

[0025] Each rotating shaft 42 is equipped with a deburring brush head 5. The deburring brush head 5 is a cylindrical body made of several steel wires with a diameter of 0.08mm bound together, and its grinding end 51 that contacts the product is dispersed. This design, on the one hand, gives the deburring brush head 5 sufficient hardness, allowing it to act precisely and forcefully on the pin burrs during rotation, ensuring that the burrs are effectively removed. On the other hand, the small diameter of the steel wires and their cylindrical shape also give the brush head a certain degree of flexibility. This flexibility allows the deburring brush head 5 to flexibly adapt to pin burrs of different shapes and sizes.

[0026] Furthermore, the dispersed working end 51 increases the contact area with burrs, improving deburring efficiency. This dispersed structure also prevents excessive localized pressure when the brush head contacts the product surface outside the burrs, effectively avoiding significant wear on the product surface due to excessive friction and ensuring the surface quality of the aluminum alloy product. It should be noted that, to ensure the degree of dispersion of the working end 51, a wire (not shown in the figure) can be used for restraint and binding at a suitable distance near the working end.

[0027] Furthermore, the deburring brush head 5 is mounted on the power frame 2 and connected to the split shaft 42 via the swing arm assembly 6. The swing arm assembly 6 includes a horizontally arranged crossbar 61 detachably connected to the power frame 2, and a mounting shaft hole 62 vertically located at the end of the crossbar 61. The crossbar 61 has a slotted hole 611 along its length, which allows for easy adjustment of the crossbar 61's mounting position on the power frame 2. This facilitates the removal of burrs from different specifications of aluminum alloy products or from different locations on aluminum alloy products, demonstrating strong versatility.

[0028] Furthermore, the drive shaft 63 is movably inserted through the mounting shaft hole 62 and is connected to the auxiliary rotating shaft 42 via a universal joint 64. The drive shaft 63 can rotate smoothly and move vertically relative to the mounting shaft hole 62. Specifically, the drive shaft 63 is connected to the mounting shaft hole 62 using a clearance fit. The mounting shaft hole restricts the radial position of the drive shaft, while the universal joint restricts its axial position. Simultaneously, the universal joint 64 has a certain degree of flexibility, which can compensate for the angular deviation between the drive shaft 63 and the auxiliary rotating shaft 42 caused by vertical movement, ensuring that power is stably transmitted from the auxiliary rotating shaft 42 to the drive shaft 63, thereby driving the deburring brush head 5 to rotate.

[0029] To reduce friction and ensure the flexible movement of the drive shaft 63, a lubricant, such as a high-temperature resistant and wear-resistant special grease, is applied to the inner wall of the mounting hole 62 and the outer surface of the drive shaft 63. This grease can form a uniform lubricating film between the drive shaft 63 and the mounting hole 62, effectively reducing the coefficient of friction between them. This allows the drive shaft 63 to rotate freely around its own axis and also to move up and down in a certain range in the vertical direction, thus meeting the requirements for the flexible movement of the drive shaft 63 during the deburring process. This ensures that the deburring brush head 5 can accurately contact the pin burrs on the aluminum alloy product and efficiently complete the deburring task.

[0030] The lower end of the drive shaft 63 is connected to the deburring brush head 5 via a clamp 65, which facilitates the installation and replacement of the deburring brush head 5.

[0031] Furthermore, a buffer spring 66 is fitted onto the drive shaft 63, with both ends of the buffer spring 66 elastically abutting against the lower end face of the mounting shaft hole 62 and the upper end face of the clamp 65, respectively. The buffer spring 66 can play a buffering role during the deburring process, preventing the deburring brush head 5 from rigidly colliding with the aluminum alloy product, thus protecting the product and the deburring brush head 5.

[0032] Furthermore, the top surface of the base 1 is provided with multiple guide grooves 11 for positioning the product fixture plate 7. The multiple guide grooves 11 are parallel to each other and spaced apart. The guide grooves 11 can accurately and quickly position the product fixture plate 7.

[0033] Furthermore, a clamping assembly 8 is provided on the side of the fixture plate 7. The clamping assembly 8 includes a screw 81 vertically disposed on the base 1, a clamping block 82 movably sleeved on the screw 81, and a nut 83 threadedly connected to the screw 81 so that the clamping block 82 clamps and fixes the fixture plate 7 onto the base 1. By rotating the nut 83, the position of the clamping block 82 can be adjusted to firmly fix the product fixture plate 7 onto the base 1, preventing the product from moving during the deburring process. At the same time, the fixture plate can be quickly changed according to the processing of products of different specifications.

[0034] In summary, the deburring device for ejector pins provided by this utility model, by setting multiple deburring brush heads 5 and a multi-axis device 4, can simultaneously remove multiple ejector pin burrs on the same surface of aluminum alloy products, greatly improving deburring efficiency. The working ends 51 of the deburring brush heads 5 are distributed and can be flexibly adjusted by the swing arm assembly 6, improving versatility and ensuring the accuracy of deburring, thus improving the quality of deburring. This device realizes automated deburring operation, eliminating the need for manual grinding, reducing the labor intensity of workers and production costs; the buffer spring 66 can prevent rigid collision between the deburring brush heads and the aluminum alloy products, protecting the product surface from damage.

However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model, and this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed above.
