Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lathe machining technology, and in particular to a rapid material handling and placement device for lathe machining. Background Technology

[0002] A lathe is a mechanical device that primarily uses a cutting tool to cut rotating workpieces. It achieves cutting by the rotation of the spindle and the feed motion of the cutting tool. During machining, the workpiece is clamped in a chuck or center driven by the spindle. As the spindle rotates, the cutting tool moves along a predetermined feed direction, driven by components such as a slide. The combination of the cutting tool's movement trajectory and the workpiece's rotation allows the workpiece to be machined into the desired shape and size.

[0003] Since lathes can only process a single workpiece at a time, the workpiece needs to be manually removed and replaced after processing, which reduces processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid material handling and placement device for lathe machining, which can effectively solve the problem that lathes can only process a single workpiece at a time, so the workpiece needs to be manually removed and replaced after processing, resulting in reduced processing efficiency.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] This application designs a rapid material handling and placement device for lathe machining, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a lathe body 1, a tool post 3, a material handling assembly, and a conveying assembly;

[0028] The tool post 3 is movably connected to the top of the lathe body 1;

[0029] The material handling assembly is located on the side of the tool holder 3;

[0030] The conveying assembly is located between the picking assembly and the tool holder 3. The conveying assembly is located below the picking assembly and is fixedly connected to the top of the lathe body 1. There are two sets of conveying assemblies, and the two sets of conveying assemblies are located on both sides of the chuck 2. The conveying assembly on the side closer to the robotic arm 4 is used to limit the workpiece to a straight state to prevent the workpiece from tilting. The other set of conveying assemblies is used to intercept the remaining workpiece to prevent the remaining workpiece from sticking to the workpiece to be processed, so that the robotic arm 4 can pick up the workpiece to be processed separately.

[0031] Furthermore, the material handling assembly includes a chuck 2 and a robotic arm 4;

[0032] The chuck 2 is mounted on the lathe body 1. The chuck 2 and the tool post 3 are at the same height. The chuck 2 is a three-jaw chuck 2 of the prior art, used to clamp and fix the workpiece.

[0033] The robotic arm 4 is located between the chuck 2 and the tool holder 3. The robotic arm 4 is mounted on the lathe body 1 and is used to grip the workpiece to complete the material handling work.

[0034] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a conveyor belt 5, a rotating rod 6, a first limiting plate 7, and a second limiting plate 8;

[0035] The conveyor belt 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the lathe body 1, and the conveyor belt 5 is located below the chuck 2;

[0036] The rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected to the side of the conveyor belt 5. The rotating rod 6 is driven by a motor. The angle between the rotating rod 6 and the conveyor belt 5 on the side away from the robotic arm 4 is an obtuse angle. Therefore, when the rotating rod 6 rotates upward, a gap is generated between the first limiting plate 7 and the conveyor belt 5, which facilitates the passage of the workpiece.

[0037] The first limiting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 6, and the first limiting plate 7 is located above the conveyor belt 5;

[0038] The second limiting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the first limiting plate 7 away from the robotic arm 4. The second limiting plate 8 is perpendicular to the first limiting plate 7. There are two second limiting plates 8, and the two second limiting plates 8 are located on both sides of the conveyor belt 5 respectively.

[0039] Working principle: The workpieces to be processed are placed sequentially on the conveyor belt 5 and moved to the chuck 2 by the conveyor belt 5. Then, the rotating rod 6 drives the first limiting plate 7 and the second limiting plate 8 to rotate. The first limiting plate 7 and the second limiting plate 8 on the side closer to the robotic arm 4 block the workpieces to be processed. The conveying force continuously applied by the conveyor belt 5 makes the workpieces gradually tend to a straight state. Then, the robotic arm 4 picks up the workpieces and inserts them into the chuck 2. The chuck 2 fixes the workpieces and processes them. The first limiting plate 7 and the second limiting plate 8 on the side away from the robotic arm 4 block the remaining workpieces to prevent the remaining workpieces from sticking to the workpieces to be processed under the conveyor belt 5, so that the robotic arm 4 can pick up the workpieces to be processed individually. By repeating the above process, continuous picking and placing can be achieved, improving the automation processing capability of the lathe and thus improving processing efficiency.

[0040] The above embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
