Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and in particular to an intelligent tool cabinet that automatically picks up cutting tools. Background Technology

[0002] A smart tool cabinet is a cabinet used to store cutting tools used in machining. It is used in factory workshops and warehouses. The outer shell of a smart tool cabinet is generally made of steel plate, and the inside has multiple drawers for storing tools. The drawers can be pulled out, and the drawers are separated by partitions. A motor drives a spring to rotate and push out the tools.

[0003] When a knife is pushed out of the drawer of a smart knife cabinet, it will fall into the collection box below. The fall height of the knife can be as high as 1500mm-1700mm. After falling into the collection box, the knife will be subjected to severe impact and vibration due to the impact angle and the contact position with the collection box, which may damage or render it unusable. In addition, there is a possibility that the internal structure of the knife cabinet may affect the knife during the fall, preventing it from falling into the collection box normally and making it impossible to retrieve. This will cause economic losses to the enterprise and delay the production process.

[0004] Furthermore, the knife retrieval door of traditional smart knife cabinets is usually located at the bottom of the cabinet door. Staff members need to squat down in front of the cabinet door, hold the knife retrieval door with one hand, and take the knife from the collection box with the other hand. The knife retrieval action is cumbersome and the user experience is poor. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 11 An intelligent tool cabinet with automatic tool retrieval includes a cabinet body 01 and a cabinet door 02 mounted on the cabinet body 01. The cabinet body 01 contains multiple drawers, each equipped with a rotatable spring. A longitudinal movement mechanism and a transverse movement mechanism are provided between the cabinet body 01 and the cabinet door 02. The transverse movement mechanism is mounted on the longitudinal movement mechanism, which is installed inside the cabinet body 01 or on the side of the cabinet door 02 facing inwards from the cabinet body 01. A tool receiving box is mounted on the transverse movement mechanism. Alternatively, the longitudinal movement mechanism is mounted on the transverse movement mechanism, which is installed inside the cabinet body 01 or on the side of the cabinet door 02 facing inwards from the cabinet body 01. A tool receiving box 04 is mounted on the longitudinal movement mechanism for receiving tools pushed out by the springs. A tool retrieval opening 33 is provided on the cabinet door 02 to allow the tool receiving box 04 to move to the tool retrieval opening 33 and remove the tool. The optimal knife receiving box 04 is installed on the longitudinal moving mechanism. Through the cooperation of the lateral and longitudinal moving mechanisms, the knife receiving box 04, which achieves planar displacement, moves to the corresponding drawer position to receive the knife pushed out by the spring in the drawer inside the cabinet 01. The knife is then moved to the knife retrieval port 33 for easy access by staff, preventing the knife from being subjected to severe impact and vibration due to falling. This effectively avoids the risk of damage to the knife due to a high drop height, reducing economic losses and production delays caused by knife damage, and significantly improving the user experience of the intelligent knife cabinet. The cabinet 01 and cabinet door 02 are connected by hinges 03.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 11 Preferably, the lateral movement mechanism includes a lateral displacement component and a lateral drive component. Two lateral displacement components are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the cabinet 01, and each lateral displacement component is driven by a lateral drive component. The longitudinal movement mechanism includes a longitudinal displacement component and a longitudinal drive component. The longitudinal displacement component is installed between the two lateral displacement components and is driven by the longitudinal drive component. The knife receiving box 04 is installed on the longitudinal displacement component. The lateral displacement component and lateral drive component are respectively installed at the top and bottom of the cabinet 01 to achieve synchronous and stable operation of the entire longitudinal movement mechanism, preventing tilting. Alternatively, two longitudinal movement mechanisms can be located on the left and right sides of the cabinet 01, with a lateral movement mechanism installed between them, and the knife receiving box 04 installed on the lateral movement mechanism; this is not a limitation.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 11Preferably, the lateral displacement component includes a lateral rack 14, a lateral displacement seat 17, and a lateral optical axis 15. The lateral displacement seat 17 is sleeved on the lateral optical axis 15. The lateral rack 14 is arranged parallel to the lateral optical axis 15 at the top or bottom of the cabinet 01. The lateral drive component includes a lateral drive motor 13 and a lateral gear 18 mounted on the output shaft of the lateral drive motor 13. The lateral drive motor 13 is mounted on the lateral displacement seat 17, and the lateral gear 18 meshes with the corresponding lateral rack 14. The longitudinal displacement component includes a longitudinal... The system comprises a rack 08, a longitudinal displacement seat 10, and a longitudinal optical axis 09. The longitudinal displacement seat 10 is fitted onto the longitudinal optical axis 09. Both ends of the longitudinal optical axis 09 and the longitudinal rack 08 are fixedly connected to the transverse displacement seats 17 at the top and bottom of the cabinet, respectively. The longitudinal drive component includes a longitudinal drive motor 07 and a longitudinal gear 05 connected to the longitudinal drive motor 07. The longitudinal gear 05 meshes with the longitudinal rack 08. The longitudinal drive motor 07 is mounted on the longitudinal displacement seat 10, and the knife receiving box 04 is mounted on the longitudinal displacement seat 10. The longitudinal rack 08 is fixedly connected to the corresponding transverse displacement seat 17 via a longitudinal rack support plate 12. The optical axis serves as a guide. A transverse linear bearing 19 is connected between the transverse displacement seat 17 and the transverse optical axis 15, and a longitudinal linear bearing 11 is connected between the longitudinal displacement seat 10 and the longitudinal optical axis 09. This ensures smoother movement of the transverse displacement seat 17 and the longitudinal displacement seat 10. The gear and rack combination provides more precise movement.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 11 Preferably, both ends of the transverse optical axis 15 are fixed to the top or bottom of the cabinet 01 by transverse optical axis fixing seats 16; the longitudinal gear 05 is mounted on the transmission gear shaft 21, the transmission gear shaft 21 is mounted on the longitudinal displacement seat 10, a bevel gear 06 is mounted on the transmission gear shaft 21, and the output shaft of the longitudinal drive motor 07 is also mounted with a bevel gear 06, and the two bevel gears 06 mesh with each other for transmission. The transverse rack 14, transverse gear 18 drive structure, and longitudinal gear 05, longitudinal rack 08 and other drive structures can all be replaced with lead screw and nut drive forms, and are not limited thereto, as long as linear displacement can be achieved. In addition, the corresponding optical axis in this embodiment can also be replaced with slide rail, etc., and is not limited thereto. By setting the bevel gear 06 to change the transmission direction, the longitudinal drive motor 07 can be installed longitudinally, reducing the occupation of transverse space, so that the receiving box 04 can achieve greater transverse displacement under the same cabinet 01 size.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11Preferably, the transmission gear shaft 21 is connected to the longitudinal displacement seat 10 by a connecting bearing 20, and the transmission gear shaft 21 is also provided with a shaft retaining circlip 22 to fix the bevel gear 06 and the longitudinal gear 05. This is to ensure that the transmission gear shaft 21 does not come off.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Preferably, the blade-retrieving opening 33 is provided with an opening and closing mechanism for controlling the opening and closing of the blade-retrieving opening 33. The opening and closing mechanism includes a blade-retrieving gate 23, a blade-retrieving gate guide 27, and a blade-retrieving gate drive. The blade-retrieving gate guide 27 is located on one or both sides of the blade-retrieving opening 33. The blade-retrieving gate 23 is slidably connected to the blade-retrieving gate guide 27, and the blade-retrieving gate drive is kinetically connected to the blade-retrieving gate 23, used to drive the blade-retrieving gate 23 to move along the blade-retrieving gate guide 27 to open or close the blade-retrieving opening 33. Providing an opening and closing mechanism at the blade-retrieving opening 33 enables automatic opening and closing of the blade-retrieving opening 33. It allows the blade-retrieving opening 33 to be closed when the blade-retrieving box has not moved to the blade-retrieving opening 33, preventing foreign objects from entering the blade-retrieving opening 33 and affecting the operation of the longitudinal and lateral moving mechanisms.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Preferably, the knife-retrieving door drive component includes a knife-retrieving door motor 24, a knife-retrieving door lead screw 26, and a knife-retrieving door lead screw nut 25. The axial direction of the knife-retrieving door lead screw 26 is parallel to the guiding direction of the knife-retrieving door guide 27. The knife-retrieving door lead screw nut 25 is installed on the knife-retrieving door 23. The knife-retrieving door motor 24 is fixed to the cabinet door 02. The output shaft of the knife-retrieving door motor 24 is connected to the knife-retrieving door lead screw 26. The knife-retrieving door lead screw nut 25 passes through the knife-retrieving door lead screw 26. The knife-retrieving door motor 24 drives the knife-retrieving door lead screw 26 to rotate and drive the knife-retrieving door 23 to move along the knife-retrieving door guide 27, so as to drive the knife-retrieving door 23 to open or close the knife-retrieving port 33. The tool-retrieving gate motor 24 drives the tool-retrieving gate screw 26 to rotate. Since the tool-retrieving gate screw nut 25 is limited by the tool-retrieving gate 23 and cannot rotate, the tool-retrieving gate screw 26 and the tool-retrieving gate screw nut 25 rotate relative to each other, which is then converted into linear movement between the tool-retrieving gate screw nut 25 and the tool-retrieving gate 23. This allows the tool-retrieving gate 23 to move and open or close the tool-retrieving gate. Alternatively, the tool-retrieving gate drive can be replaced with a rack and pinion transmission, or a transmission consisting of a synchronous belt, synchronous pulley, and slider, as long as it can achieve the linear displacement of the tool-retrieving gate 23 to open or close the tool-retrieving gate 33. A tool-retrieving gate linear bearing 28 is also connected between the tool-retrieving gate optical shaft and the tool-retrieving gate 23, used to guide the movement of the tool-retrieving gate 23 in conjunction with the tool-retrieving gate optical shaft.

[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 5Preferably, the knife-retrieving door guide 27 is a knife-retrieving door optical axis, which is arranged longitudinally. An upper proximity switch 31 is provided on one side of the top of the knife-retrieving door 23's running trajectory, and a lower proximity switch 32 is provided at the bottom of the knife-retrieving door 23's running trajectory. An audible and visual alarm 34 is provided on the side of the cabinet door 02 facing outwards from the cabinet body 01. A light curtain transmitter 29 and a light curtain receiver 30 are respectively provided on both sides of the cabinet door 02 facing inwards from the knife-retrieving door 23, away from the knife-retrieving door 23. Proximity switches are provided at the top and bottom of the knife-retrieving door optical axis to detect whether the knife-retrieving door 23 is fully open or completely closed at the knife-retrieving door 33. Light curtain transmitters 29 and light curtain receivers 30 are installed on both sides of the knife-retrieving door 33 to detect foreign objects inside the knife-retrieving door 23. If a foreign object is detected entering the knife-retrieving door 33, the knife-retrieving door 23 will immediately stop operating, and the audible and visual alarm 34 will emit an audible and visual warning. Inside cabinet 01, there is also a controller 35 for connecting and controlling various motors, light curtain transmitters 29, light curtain receivers 30, proximity switches, etc. This is existing equipment and no specific protection requirements are specified. Of course, the guide for the knife retrieval door can also be a guide rail, etc., and is not limited thereto. A preferred controller could be a PLC controller or other types of host computer, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0039] When a staff member needs to collect a tool, the controller 35 issues a command to control the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the longitudinal drive motor 07 and the transverse drive motor 13, thereby controlling the tool receiving box 04 to move along the X and Y axes.

[0040] The rotational motion output by the longitudinal drive motor 07 changes the transmission direction through the bevel gear 06 and is transmitted to the longitudinal gear 05. The longitudinal gear 05 and the bevel gear 06 are fixed on the transmission gear shaft 21. The transmission gear shaft 21 and the longitudinal displacement seat 10 are fixed by the connecting bearing 20. The longitudinal gear 05 and the longitudinal rack 08 work together to convert the rotational motion output by the longitudinal drive motor 07 into linear motion, and drive the longitudinal displacement seat 10 to move linearly along the longitudinal optical axis 09 and the longitudinal linear bearing 11. The longitudinal displacement seat 10 generates the corresponding motion direction and speed according to the forward and reverse rotation and speed change of the longitudinal drive motor 07.

[0041] The rotational motion output by the transverse drive motor 13 is transmitted to the transverse gear 18. The transverse gear 18 and the transverse rack 14 work together to convert the rotational motion output by the transverse drive motor 13 into linear motion, which drives the top and bottom transverse displacement seats 17 to move linearly under the guidance of the transverse optical axis 15 and the transverse linear bearing. The top and bottom transverse displacement seats 17 generate corresponding motion direction and speed according to the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the transverse drive motor 13.

[0042] Through the combination of the above-mentioned longitudinal gear 05, bevel gear 06, longitudinal drive motor 07, longitudinal rack 08, longitudinal optical shaft 09, longitudinal displacement seat 10, longitudinal linear bearing 11, longitudinal rack support plate 12, transverse drive motor 13, transverse rack 14, transverse optical shaft 15, transverse optical shaft fixing seat 16, transverse displacement seat 17, transverse linear bearing, connecting bearing 20, transmission gear shaft 21, and shaft snap ring 22, the tool receiving box 04 can be moved to any position within the horizontal and vertical stroke to achieve the purpose of the tool receiving box 04 receiving the tool.

[0043] When the receiving box 04 moves to the front of the designated cargo channel by the power output from the longitudinal drive motor 07 and the transverse drive motor 13 controlled by the controller 35, the cargo channel spring in the intelligent tool cabinet drawer pushes out the tool. The tool falls into the receiving box 04 due to gravity. After the receiving box 04 receives the tool, the controller 35 issues a command to control the longitudinal drive motor 07 and the transverse drive motor 13 to move the receiving box 04 to the rear of the tool retrieval door 23. After the movement is completed, the controller 35 issues a command to control the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the tool retrieval door motor 24. The tool retrieval door drive component converts the rotational motion output by the tool retrieval door motor 24 into linear motion through the cooperation of the tool retrieval door screw and the tool retrieval door screw nut. The tool retrieval door screw and the tool retrieval door screw nut drive the tool retrieval door 23 to move upward linearly under the guidance of the tool retrieval door optical axis and the tool retrieval door linear bearing 28, so as to realize the opening of the tool retrieval door 23.

[0044] When the tool retrieval door 23 approaches the detection range of the upper proximity switch 32, the upper proximity switch 32 is triggered and sends a signal back to the controller 35. After receiving the signal from the upper proximity switch 32, the controller 35 disconnects the control of the tool retrieval door motor 24, enters the tool retrieval waiting time, and activates the light curtain transmitter 29 and the light curtain receiver 30 to detect whether there are foreign objects between the tool retrieval door 23 and the cabinet door 02. This is to prevent the tool retrieval door 23 from pinching the operator's hand when it closes or from obstructing the movement of the tool retrieval door 23 due to foreign objects in its movement trajectory, which could cause the structure to jam or be damaged.

[0045] After the knife-retrieving gate 23 finishes its movement, the operator reaches into the knife-retrieving port 33 of the cabinet door 02 and retrieves the knife from the receiving box 04. When the controller 35 determines that the knife-retrieving waiting time has ended, and the light curtain transmitter 29 and the light curtain receiver 30 determine that there are no foreign objects on the movement trajectory of the knife-retrieving gate 23, the controller 35 issues a command to control the rotation of the knife-retrieving gate motor 24. The rotational motion output by the knife-retrieving gate motor 24 is converted into linear motion through the knife-retrieving gate lead screw nut and the knife-retrieving gate lead screw. The knife-retrieving gate lead screw and the knife-retrieving gate lead screw nut drive the knife-retrieving gate 23 downward under the guidance of the knife-retrieving gate optical axis and the knife-retrieving gate linear bearing 28. During the downward movement of the knife-retrieving gate 23, if the light curtain transmitter 29 and light curtain receiver 30 detect any foreign object in the trajectory of the knife-retrieving gate 23, they will send a signal to the controller 35. The controller 35 will immediately stop the movement of the knife-retrieving gate motor 24 and control the knife-retrieving gate motor 24 to reverse, causing the knife-retrieving gate 23 to rise again. At the same time, the audible and visual alarm 34 will emit sound and light effects to serve as a warning. Through the combination of the light curtain transmitter 29, light curtain receiver 30, and audible and visual alarm 34, it is possible to effectively prevent injury to workers' hands or damage caused by the knife-retrieving gate 23 becoming stuck. When the light curtain transmitter 29 and light curtain receiver 30 detect no foreign object in the trajectory of the knife-retrieving gate 23, they will send a signal to the controller 35. The controller 35 will stop the audible and visual alarm 34 and restart the rotation of the knife-retrieving gate motor 24, causing the knife-retrieving gate 23 to move downward.

[0046] When the tool retrieval gate 23 approaches the monitoring range of the lower proximity switch 33, the lower proximity switch 33 is triggered and sends a signal back to the controller 35. After receiving the signal from the lower proximity switch 33, the controller 35 disconnects the control of the tool retrieval gate motor 24 and turns off the light curtain transmitter 29 and the light curtain receiver 30. At this point, the entire tool retrieval process ends and all components are in their initial positions.
