[0038] Existing automated polishing equipment has low functional integration, requiring repeated flipping of each surface for polishing, and lacks an efficient flipping mechanism, significantly reducing the polishing efficiency of silver ingots. After introducing a negative pressure suction cup robotic arm for multi-face polishing and flipping in the silver ingot polishing system, traditional grinding systems are no longer compatible with the robotic arm's grinding work. Furthermore, the lack of an efficient flipping mechanism to flip the suction surface and the absence of an effective debris blowing system restricts the efficiency and stability of the silver ingot polishing process, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-precision, high-volume production.

[0039] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a silver ingot polishing system that integrates an air blowing device, a polishing device, and a flipping device within a hopper. This system optimizes the structure of the polishing, flipping, and blowing devices to accommodate a negative pressure suction cup robotic arm, enabling automatic multi-faceted polishing, automatic flipping, and debris recovery of silver ingots. This improves polishing efficiency and reduces manual intervention and maintenance costs.

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the silver ingot polishing system shown in the embodiments of this application.

[0042] See Figure 1 A silver ingot polishing system, comprising:

[0043] Polishing device 1, polishing motor 101, polishing brush 102, mounting base 103, flipping device 2, lifting cylinder 201, flipping motor 202, telescopic device 203, flipping groove 204, movable plate 205, slide rod 206, telescopic piston rod 207, air blowing device 3, outer shell 301, bracket 302, telescopic plate 303, air jet system 304, cover plate 305, cylinder 4, pad plate 5, collection frame 6 and hopper frame 7;

[0044] Air blowing device 3, polishing device 1, and flipping device 2 are sequentially installed inside the pocket 7. Polishing device 1 includes a polishing motor 101, a polishing brush 102, and a mounting base 103. Polishing motor 101 is installed inside the pocket 7, and mounting base 103 is detachably installed on the output shaft of polishing motor 101. Polishing brush 102 is installed on mounting base 103 and is made of steel wire. After a robotic arm equipped with a negative pressure suction cup adsorbs the silver ingot to be polished, it is transported to one side of polishing device 1. Polishing device 1 is then activated, and polishing brush 102 polishes the surfaces of the silver ingot other than the adsorption surface.

[0045] The flipping device 2 includes a lifting cylinder 201, a flipping motor 202, a telescopic device 203, a flipping groove 204, a movable plate 205, a sliding rod 206, and a telescopic piston rod 207. The telescopic device 203 is installed inside the pocket frame 7. The length of the telescopic device 203 is less than the length of the silver ingot to be polished. Two cylinders are arranged in opposite directions inside the telescopic device 203. Movable plates 205 are respectively installed on the telescopic piston rods 207 of the two cylinders of the telescopic device 203. The sliding rod 206 is located between the movable plate 205 and the telescopic device 203. The sliding rod 206 can slide within the telescopic device 203 to ensure the stability of the movable plate 205. Lifting cylinder 201 is mounted on movable plate 205, and tilting motor 202 is mounted on piston of lifting cylinder 201. Tilting motor is servo motor. Tilting groove 204 is mounted on output shaft of tilting motor 202. Tilting groove 204 is larger than the size of silver ingot to be polished. The initial height of tilting groove 204 is the same as the height of telescopic device 203. Limiting baffles are provided on the housing of tilting groove 204 and tilting motor 204 so that tilting groove 204 tilts at an angle of 180 degrees. After polishing of all surfaces of the silver ingot except the adsorption surface, the robotic arm places the silver ingot on the telescopic device 203. The telescopic piston rod 207 of the telescopic device 203 retracts, causing the lifting cylinder 201, the flipping motor 202, the flipping groove 204, and the movable plate 205 to retract along with the piston rod 207. This allows the flipping groove 204 to hold both ends of the silver ingot. Then, the lifting cylinder 201 is activated to lift the flipping motor 202, the flipping groove 204, and the silver ingot. The flipping motor 202 is then activated to rotate, causing the flipping groove 204 and the silver ingot to flip 180 degrees. Afterward, the lifting cylinder 201 retracts, placing the flipped silver ingot back onto the telescopic device 203. The flipping device 203 is then reset, and the robotic arm adsorbs the flipped silver ingot for final polishing.

[0046] The air blowing device 3 includes a housing 301, a bracket 302, a telescopic plate 303, a jet system 304, and a cover plate 305. The housing 301 is installed inside a pocket frame 7, and the cover plate 305 is installed on the top of the housing 301, with a mounting window for the telescopic plate 303 on the cover plate 305. One end of a pad 5 is installed on the housing 301 on one side of the mounting window for the telescopic plate 303, and the other end is connected to the pocket frame 7. A cylinder 4 is installed on the pad 5. The telescopic plate 303 is installed inside the mounting window via a sliding groove. When the telescopic plate 303 is opened, it can retract under the pad 5. The telescopic plate 303 is connected to the piston of the cylinder 4, and the cylinder 4 controls the sliding of the telescopic plate 303. The bracket 302 is installed in the middle of the inner side of the housing 301, and the jet system 304 is installed inside the housing 301 below both ends of the bracket 302. The nozzle of the jet system 304 points to the bracket 302 below the mounting window for the telescopic plate 303, and the jet system 304 is connected to a compressed air pipe. After the silver ingot is polished, it is placed on the bracket 302 of the air blowing device 3 after the telescopic plate 303 is opened by a robotic arm. After the robotic arm is retracted, the telescopic plate 303 is closed and the air jet system 304 is started to blow and wash the silver ingot. After the blowing and washing is completed, the robotic arm is used to pick it up and take it to the next process.

[0047] The collection frame 6 is removable and installed at the bottom of the air blowing device 3. The pocket frame 7 has a window for pulling out the collection frame 6. The collection frame 6 is used to collect the silver powder after blowing and washing. After a certain amount is collected, it is pulled out from the bottom of the pocket frame 7 for recycling.

[0048] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
