Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical processing technology, and in particular relates to a fully automatic edge grinding machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of technology, optical products made of glass, sapphire, quartz, ceramics, and other materials are widely used in various fields. An edge grinding machine is a precision processing device used to process the edges of optical products, improving their dimensional and angular accuracy, enhancing edge characteristics, and resolving issues such as burrs and cracks in lens manufacturing. Therefore, the edge grinding machine is an indispensable piece of equipment in optical product processing.

[0003] In related technologies, edge grinding machines typically include a loading and unloading mechanism, a positioning component, and a grinding wheel. The loading and unloading mechanism transports the product to be processed to the positioning component and transfers the processed product to the receiving area. When the product is transferred to the positioning component, it can be ground using the grinding wheel to achieve the required shape, size, and smooth surface. However, such edge grinding machines require numerous auxiliary mechanisms for movement and / or rotation to adjust the position of the grinding wheel. The presence of these auxiliary mechanisms can lead to large grinding wheel vibrations and unstable operation, resulting in poor processing quality and difficulty in meeting user requirements.

[0025] Example:

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the fully automatic edge grinding machine includes: a mounting frame 1, a robotic arm 2, a pushing mechanism 3, and a grinding assembly 4; the pushing mechanism 3 includes a horizontal module 32 and a lifting module 31; the horizontal module 32 includes a guide member 321 fixed to the top of the mounting frame 1 and having a receiving cavity, a first drive assembly 322 installed in the receiving cavity, and a guide plate 323 connected to the first drive assembly 322 and slidingly engaged with the guide member 321; the lifting module 31 includes a fixed frame 311, a second drive assembly 312, a third drive assembly 313, a first guide rail 314, a rotating mechanism 316, a telescopic assembly 315, and a first suction cup 3151 facing the grinding assembly 4, and the fixed frame 311 is fixed above the guide plate 323. The fixed frame 311 has a guide groove extending along the height direction. The first guide rail 314 slides with the guide groove. The third drive assembly 313 is installed on the fixed frame 311 and connected to the first guide rail 314. The second drive assembly 312 is fixed on the first guide rail 314. The rotating mechanism 316 and the second drive assembly 312 are respectively connected to the telescopic assembly 315. The first suction cup 3151 is connected to the end of the rotating mechanism away from the telescopic assembly 315. The first suction cup 3151 is used to position the optical product. The grinding assembly 4 is used to perform edge grinding on the optical product. The robot arm 2 is used to pick up the optical product to be edge ground to the first suction cup 3151 and remove the edge-ground optical product from the first suction cup 3151.

[0027] Specifically, the optical products in this embodiment can refer to products such as lenses, glass, sapphire, and quartz that require edge processing, without limitation. In this embodiment, the edge grinding process performed by the grinding component 4 can refer to grinding, fine grinding, polishing, and other processing operations. That is, if the working parameters of the grinding component 4 are adjusted as needed, edge beveling, edge polishing, and other processing can be completed on the optical products. In some specific embodiments, one grinding component 4 can be used for grinding, and another grinding component 4 can be used for polishing, thereby meeting the processing requirements of double-sided beveling, single-sided beveling, and double-sided beveling for different optical lens products. In this embodiment, the grinding component 4 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 1. During operation, the position of the optical product in the horizontal direction, height direction, and front-to-back extension direction can be adjusted by the pushing mechanism 3. By adjusting the position of the product to cooperate with the grinding component 4 to achieve edge grinding and other operations, the vibration of the grinding wheel 44 is greatly reduced, the stability of the grinding wheel 44 operation is improved, and the processing accuracy of the optical products is also improved. Specifically, the loading and unloading of optical products can be achieved by the robotic arm 2. The horizontal module 31 is adjusted horizontally by the cooperation of the guide plate 323 and the guide member 321. The lifting module 31 is fixed to the guide plate 323. The telescopic component 315 is adjusted vertically by the sliding cooperation between the guide groove and the first guide rail 314. The telescopic component 315 is mounted on the first guide rail 314. The telescopic component can move the product position by its telescopic movement. That is, after controlling the telescopic component 315 to move to a suitable height and horizontal position, the optical product adsorbed on the first suction cup 3151 can be moved closer to or away from the grinding component 4. During the edge grinding process, the rotation mechanism 316 can be used to control the rotation of the optical product to process various positions on the edge of the optical product. This working mode of fixing the grinding component 4 and moving the product greatly improves the working stability of the grinding wheel 44. The entire workflow is automated, which greatly reduces labor costs.

[0028] In this embodiment, the guide member 321 includes an assembly shell 3211 fixed to the mounting bracket 1 and an upper cover 3212 disposed on the top of the assembly shell. The assembly shell 3211 and the guide plate 323 enclose a receiving cavity. The guide plate 323 is disposed between the assembly shell 3211 and the upper cover 3212. The bottom side of the guide plate 323 is provided with a first sliding groove for slidingly engaging with the top edge of the assembly shell 3211. The upper cover 3212 has a downwardly extending cover edge. The top side of the guide plate 323 is also provided with a second sliding groove for slidingly engaging with the cover edge.

[0029] Specifically, the guide plate 323 is mounted between the assembly shell 3211 and the upper cover 3212. The upper and lower sides of the guide plate 323 are respectively provided with a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove, allowing the upper sides of the guide plate 323 to slide against the edges of the upper cover 3212, and the lower sides of the guide plate 323 to slide against the sides of the assembly shell 3211. Furthermore, the cooperation between the assembly shell 3211 and the first sliding groove, and between the upper cover 3212 and the second sliding groove, ensures the sliding stability of the guide plate 323. The assembly shell 3211 and the guide plate 323 together form a receiving cavity, in which the first drive assembly 322 is assembled. This saves assembly space and improves the aesthetic appearance of the horizontal module 32.

[0030] Further, in this embodiment, the first drive assembly 322 includes a first fixed base installed in the assembly housing 3211, a first motor fixed on the first fixed base, and a transmission mechanism sliding in the receiving cavity. The output end of the first motor is connected to the guide plate 323 through the transmission mechanism. Specifically, the transmission mechanism in this embodiment can be a lead screw telescopic assembly, with one end connected to the first motor and the other end connected to the guide plate 323, so that the first motor can drive the guide plate 323 to move horizontally through the transmission mechanism. In some more specific embodiments, a second guide rail 314 is also provided in the assembly housing 3211 of the guide member 321. The lead screw assembly slides with the second guide rail, so that the lead screw assembly can telescopically slide along the second guide rail 314 under the drive of the second motor, thereby driving the guide plate 323 to move horizontally.

[0031] In this embodiment, two grinding components 4 are spaced apart. Two guide plates 323 are provided on the guide member 321, and lifting modules 31 are respectively installed above the two guide plates 323. The grinding components 4 and lifting modules 31 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The two lifting modules 31 are slidably mounted on the same horizontal module 32, improving the overall integrity of the product. One lifting module 31 can be used to transport the optical product to be edge-ground to the first grinding component 4 and to remove the product after the first grinding component 4 has finished processing the optical product, realizing the edge-ground processing operation on the first side of the optical product. The other lifting module 31 can be used to transport the optical product with one side already processed to the second grinding component 4 and to remove the product after the second grinding component 4 has finished processing the optical product, realizing the edge-ground processing operation on the second side of the optical product. It is understood that for products that only require single-sided edge-ground processing, only one grinding component 4 can be controlled for edge-ground processing as needed, and this is not limited here.

[0032] In this embodiment, a flipping component 5 is also installed between the two grinding components 4. The flipping component 5 is used to transfer the optical product from the first suction cup 3151 of one lifting module 31 to the first suction cup 3151 of the other lifting module 31. In some specific embodiments, two robotic arms 2 are also provided. After one side of the optical product is processed by the first grinding component 4, the lifting module 31 can transfer the product to the first robotic arm 2. Then, the flipping component 5 can be used to remove the optical product from the first robotic arm 2 and transfer it to the second robotic arm 2. The second robotic arm 2 then transfers the optical product to the lifting module 31 corresponding to the second grinding component 4. Since the flipping component 5 simultaneously flips the optical product during the transfer process, the optical product is flipped over. Thus, the flipped optical product can be transported from the second robotic arm 2 to the second grinding component 4 through the lifting module 31 corresponding to the second grinding component 4, thereby completing the edge grinding process on the other side of the optical product and achieving double-sided edge grinding. The entire process does not require manual intervention and has high work efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, the pushing component is installed on one side of the top of the mounting frame 1, and the robot arm 2, the flipping component 5, and the two grinding components 4 are installed at intervals on the other side of the top of the mounting frame 1, with the flipping component 5 positioned between the two grinding components 4. The two robot arms 2 are respectively located on the side of the grinding components 4 away from the flipping component 5. The flipping component 5 includes a connecting frame 51 fixed on the mounting frame 1, a rotary cylinder 52 mounted on the connecting frame 51, and a clamping component 53 connected to the output end of the rotary cylinder 52. The clamping component 53 is used to clamp the optical product and transfer the optical product from one of the robot arms 2 to the other robot arm 2. The pushing component is used to realize the transfer of the optical product between each grinding component 4 and the corresponding robot arm 2. The grinding component 4 is used to perform edge grinding on the optical product. One robot arm 2 is used to transfer the optical product to be edge ground to the pushing component, and the other robot arm 2 is used to remove the edge-ground optical product from the pushing component. Specifically, the rotary cylinder 52 can drive the clamping assembly 53 to achieve a 180° rotation. In the process of transferring the optical product from the first robotic arm 2 to another robotic arm 2, the optical product is simultaneously rotated 180°, thus enabling double-sided edge grinding in the same processing flow.

[0034] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 53 includes a finger cylinder 533 and two clamping plates 532. The finger cylinder 533 is fixed to the top of the rotary cylinder 52 and is connected to the two clamping plates 532 respectively via connecting plates 531. A clamping channel adapted to the size of the optical product is formed between the two clamping plates 532. The finger cylinder 533 can be used to drive the two clamping plates 532 to clamp the optical product. In some specific embodiments, one connecting plate 531 can be provided, and two clamping plates 532 are fixed to the connecting plate 531 at intervals. The two clamping plates 532 and the connecting plate 531 can be closed to form a clamping channel adapted to the size of the optical product. In other specific embodiments, two connecting plates 531 can be provided, and the two connecting plates 531 are fixed to the rotary cylinder 52 respectively. The clamping plates 532 are connected to the connecting plates 531 in a one-to-one correspondence. This arrangement of the two clamping plates 532 can also form a clamping channel, and no limitation is made here.

[0035] In some embodiments, the connecting frame 51 is a telescopic support, and its height can be adjusted by a drive motor. That is, the height of the clamping assembly 53 can be adjusted by adjusting the connecting frame 51 to better cooperate with the robot arm 2 for material transfer. In some specific embodiments, the connecting frame 51 includes a connecting seat 511 for fixing to the mounting frame 1, a first adjusting mechanism 512 mounted on the connecting seat 511, and a second adjusting mechanism 513 fixed to the top of the first moving assembly. The first adjusting mechanism 512 includes a sleeve assembly 5121 connected between the connecting seat 511 and the second adjusting mechanism 513, and a drive motor 5122 mounted on the lifting sleeve assembly 5121. The drive motor 5122 can drive the sleeve assembly 5121 to achieve telescopic movement in the height direction, thereby adjusting the position of the second adjusting mechanism 513, the rotary cylinder 52, and the clamping assembly 53 in the height direction. The second adjusting mechanism 513 can be used to adjust the position of the rotary cylinder 52 and the clamping assembly 53 in the horizontal direction.

[0036] In this embodiment, the clamping plate 532 has an assembly cavity, and the connecting plate 531 has an assembly hole corresponding to the assembly cavity. A fastening screw passes between the assembly cavity and the assembly hole. The width of the assembly cavity in the longitudinal direction is greater than its width in the transverse direction. Specifically, the clamping plate 532 and the connecting plate 531 are fixed together by screws. The radial cross-sectional shape of the assembly cavity can be racetrack-shaped, allowing for flexible adjustment of the relative position of the clamping plate 532 and the connecting plate 531 during assembly, so that the clamping channel can better adapt to optical products of different sizes.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, at least one of the clamping plates 532 has a plurality of longitudinally arranged limiting grooves on the side facing the connecting plate 531. The connecting plate 531 has a plurality of limiting protrusions adapted to the limiting grooves. The number of limiting protrusions is not equal to the number of limiting grooves, and the distance between adjacent limiting grooves is equal to the distance between adjacent limiting protrusions. Specifically, the mutual cooperation between the limiting grooves and the limiting protrusions can improve the assembly stability between the clamping plate 532 and the connecting plate 531. Moreover, the same limiting protrusion can cooperate with different limiting grooves, thereby allowing for flexible adjustment of the relative position between the clamping plate 532 and the connecting plate 531. It is understood that in other embodiments, the limiting grooves can also be set on the connecting plate 531, and the limiting protrusions on the clamping plate 532; this is not a limitation. In one specific embodiment, the limiting groove is a V-shaped groove, and the distance between adjacent limiting grooves is zero. That is, the contact surfaces of the connecting plate 531 and the clamping plate 532 are designed to have a serrated cross-section, which helps to improve the fit stability between the connecting plate 531 and the clamping plate 532.

[0038] In this embodiment, the grinding assembly 4 includes a second fixed base 41, a second motor 42, a grinding wheel 44 shaft 43, a grinding wheel 44, a protective cover 45, and a synchronization mechanism. The second fixed base 41 is fixed on the mounting bracket 1. The second motor 42 and the protective cover 45 are respectively fixed to the second fixed base 41, and the second motor 42 is connected to the grinding wheel 44 shaft 43 through the synchronization mechanism. The grinding wheel 44 is mounted on the grinding wheel 44 shaft 43, and the protective cover 45 is located on the outer periphery of the grinding wheel 44. Specifically, the synchronization mechanism can be a belt assembly or other transmission assembly. The second motor 42 can drive the grinding wheel 44 shaft 43 to rotate through the synchronization mechanism, thereby driving the grinding wheel 44 to rotate. When the pushing mechanism 3 controls the optical product to be transferred to the station where the grinding wheel 44 is located, the edge grinding process can be realized. In this embodiment, the second motor 42 and the grinding wheel 44 shaft 43 are fixed by the second fixed base 41. The assembly position of the entire grinding assembly 4 is fixed, which helps to improve the working stability of the grinding wheel 44 and reduce the vibration of the grinding wheel 44, thus effectively improving the processing accuracy of the product. The protective cover 45 can also prevent debris from splashing and guide the coolant, improving the safety of the device.

[0039] In this embodiment, the automatic edge grinding machine also includes a loading tray 6 detachably mounted on the mounting frame 1. Two loading trays 6 can be provided, one for holding the optical product to be processed and the other for holding the processed optical product. The two loading trays 6 can be respectively located on the side of the robot arm 2 away from the flipping component 5, so that the robot arm 2, the pushing mechanism 3, the flipping component 5, and the grinding component 4 can achieve assembly line operation.

[0040] In this embodiment, a mounting beam 11 spaced apart from the pushing mechanism 3 is provided on the top of the mounting frame 1. Two robotic arms 2 are slidably mounted on the mounting beam 11 respectively. Using only one mounting beam 11 allows for the installation of two robotic arms 2, which improves the overall integrity of the equipment. Each robotic arm 2 includes an assembly 21 slidably assembled with the mounting beam 11, a robotic arm 22 connected to the assembly 21, and a feeding component connected to the robotic arm 22 at the end furthest from the assembly 21. The feeding component is used to pick up optical products. A drive mechanism, which can be a motor, can also be installed on the assembly 21. This drive mechanism can drive the assembly 21 to move horizontally, and the movement of the assembly 21 can move the robotic arm 22 and the second suction cup 23. This allows the robotic arm 22 to move the feeding component within the space between the loading tray 6 and the pushing mechanism 3, enabling the picking and placing of optical products with high efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the feeding assembly includes a fixing block connected to the assembly 21 and a cylinder and a second suction cup 23 fixed to the fixing block, with the second suction cup 23 connected to the cylinder. The cylinder allows the optical product to be securely adhered to the second suction cup 23, preventing the optical product from falling off.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, two second suction cups 23 are spaced apart, and the line connecting the two second suction cups 23 is parallel to the sliding direction of the guide plate 323. This arrangement of the feeding assembly in this embodiment can further improve work efficiency; that is, the feeding assembly can simultaneously feed materials to the pushing mechanism 3 and the flipping assembly 5. For example, in one working mode, while the first grinding wheel 44 is processing the first lens, the robot arm 2 can be controlled to return to the loading tray 6 to pick up the material (the second suction cup 23 for picking up the material is the second suction cup 23 near the loading tray 6). Then, the feeding component moves to the first position. After the first grinding wheel 44 finishes processing the first optical product, the pushing component is controlled to transfer the optical product to the idle second suction cup 23 in the feeding component (that is, the second suction cup 23 near the flipping component 5). Then, the feeding component is controlled to move to the second position. When it moves to the second position, the flipping component 5 is controlled to take the optical product with one side processed from the robot arm 2. At the same time, the pushing mechanism 3 can be controlled to take the unprocessed optical product from the robot arm 2. Then, the flipping component 5 transports the optical product with one side processed to the second lifting module 31. At the same time, the pushing mechanism 3 can transport the second optical product to the first grinding component 4, and the first side processing of the second optical product can be carried out simultaneously. By coordinating and controlling the various mechanisms in this way, the two grinding wheels 44 can simultaneously perform edge grinding on different optical products, which can greatly shorten the idle waiting time of the grinding wheels 44, significantly improve the working efficiency of the edge grinding machine, and also help save machine operating costs.

[0043] It is understood that, in this embodiment, all driving components involved in the robotic arm 2, pushing mechanism 3, grinding wheel 44, and flipping assembly 5 can be assembled and used using the same or different types of driving mechanisms such as motors, cylinders, electric cylinders, and hydraulic cylinders, as needed, without any restrictions. Furthermore, each driving component is connected to a power source. The automatic edge grinding machine can also be configured with a control component, which can be connected to a control terminal. The control component can drive and control each driving component via wired or wireless communication. The control terminal allows for flexible setting and adjustment of the operating parameters of each driving component to control the edge grinding machine to efficiently complete the processing tasks of optical products as needed.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
