Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shaft parts processing technology, specifically a conveying mechanism for a fixed shaft grinding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Grinding is a precision machining method that uses abrasive particles coated or embedded on a grinding tool to finish the workpiece surface through the relative movement of the grinding tool and the workpiece under certain pressure. The principle of grinding shaft parts is to grind away a very thin layer of metal from the workpiece surface using a grinding tool and abrasive to achieve the purpose of finishing.

[0003] In the production of shaft parts, in order to ensure the normal working efficiency of the grinding machine, the workpieces need to be fed at a uniform speed and intermittently. This process is usually done manually, which greatly reduces the processing efficiency and increases the labor intensity of the workers. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model discloses a conveying mechanism for a fixed shaft grinding equipment, including a belt conveyor 1, a material handling component 2, and a chain conveyor 3. The material handling component 2 is located between the belt conveyor 1 and the chain conveyor 3. The belt conveyor 1 is the workpiece placement area, and the chain conveyor 3 is the workpiece loading and conveying area. The material handling component 2 is used to transfer the workpiece, that is, the workpiece is captured and positioned by an industrial camera 27. Under the action of the linear module, the pneumatic gripper 28 grabs or releases the workpiece to realize automated loading. This can effectively solve the problems of low efficiency and cumbersome manual loading and improve the processing efficiency of shaft parts.

[0022] The material handling assembly 2 includes a bracket 21, a PLC controller 22, and a Y-axis linear module 23. The PLC controller 22 and the Y-axis linear module 23 are respectively mounted on the bracket 21. A mounting plate 24 is mounted on the slide of the Y-axis linear module 23, and Z-axis linear modules 25 are mounted on both ends of the mounting plate 24. A fixing plate 26 is mounted on the slide of the Z-axis linear module 25, and an industrial camera 27 and a pneumatic gripper 28 are respectively mounted on the fixing plate 26. Arc-shaped clamping blocks 29 are mounted on the two grippers of the pneumatic gripper 28. The Y-axis linear module 23, the Z-axis linear module 25, and the industrial camera 27 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 22 through wires.

[0023] Specifically, a support 11 is installed at one end of the belt conveyor line 1, and a guide roller 12 is installed on the support 11.

[0024] In this embodiment, the support 11 is a supporting structure, and the guide roller 12 is set at the end of the belt conveyor line 1 to prevent the workpiece from falling off.

[0025] Specifically, the chain conveyor 3 is equipped with support plates 31, and the support plates 31 are evenly distributed on the conveyor chain.

[0026] In this implementation plan, such as Figure 3 As shown, after the material handling component 2 picks up the workpiece, it places the workpiece on the support plate 31 for conveying.

[0027] Specifically, the bracket 21 is equipped with an air source triplet 210 and a solenoid valve 211, and the air inlet of the solenoid valve 211 is connected to the air source triplet 210 through a hose.

[0028] In this implementation scheme, the air source triplet 210 mainly includes an air filter, a pressure reducing valve, and an oil mist lubricator. Its main function is to purify compressed air, remove moisture, liquid oil droplets, and solid impurities, and ensure that pure air enters the equipment to avoid malfunctions caused by the introduction of impurities. The main function of the solenoid valve 211 is to control the flow and cut off of gas.

[0029] Specifically, the air outlet of the solenoid valve 211 is connected to the pneumatic clamp finger 28 via a flexible hose, and the solenoid valve 211 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 22 via a wire.

[0030] In this implementation scheme, the PLC controller 22 controls the on / off state of the solenoid valve 211, thereby achieving automated and intelligent control of the pneumatic gripper 28. The PLC controller 22 plays several key roles in industrial automation. First, the PLC controller 22 performs logical operations, sequential control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations through a programmable memory, achieving precise control of various machines or production processes. Second, the PLC performs excellently in switching quantity control, capable of handling complex logic problems such as combinational logic and sequential logic, and supports multiple control modes such as counting, fixed sequence, and random operation. In addition, the PLC has powerful data processing and computing capabilities, capable of acquiring and processing various sensor data in real time, and adjusting the actuator in real time through built-in PID algorithms to ensure the stability and safety of the production process.

[0031] Specifically, the industrial camera 27 and the pneumatic gripper 28 are located at both ends of the material handling assembly 2, and both are located above the conveying surfaces of the belt conveyor 1 and the chain conveyor 3.

[0032] In this implementation scheme, the industrial camera 27 is a key component of the machine vision system. Its most essential function is to convert light signals into ordered electrical signals, which enables the capture and positioning of workpieces.

[0033] In use, belt conveyor 1 is the workpiece placement area, chain conveyor 3 is the workpiece loading and conveying area, and material handling component 2 is used to transfer workpieces. That is, the industrial camera 27 captures and positions the workpieces, and under the action of the linear module, the pneumatic gripper 28 grabs or releases the workpieces to realize automated loading. This can effectively solve the problems of low efficiency and cumbersome manual loading and improve the processing efficiency of shaft parts.

[0034] In summary, the conveying mechanism of this fixed shaft grinding equipment has a belt conveyor 1 as the workpiece placement area, a chain conveyor 3 as the workpiece loading and conveying area, and a material handling component 2 for transferring workpieces. Specifically, the industrial camera 27 captures and positions the workpiece, and the pneumatic gripper 28 grips or releases the workpiece under the action of the linear module, realizing automated material handling. This effectively solves the problems of low efficiency and cumbersome manual material handling, and improves the processing efficiency of shaft parts.
