Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beveling machine technology, specifically to an automatic positioning and feeding device for a beveling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the precision machining of materials such as metals, glass, and ceramics, beveling (such as chamfering, grinding, and polishing) is a common process requirement. Traditional feeding methods mainly rely on manual operation or simple mechanical devices, which have the following technical pain points: First, manual feeding is inefficient and inaccurate. The speed of manually picking up and placing workpieces is slow, and the positioning accuracy is difficult to guarantee due to the influence of the operator's experience, resulting in inconsistent beveling dimensions and affecting product yield. Second, simple mechanical devices lack adaptability. Traditional cylinder or belt conveyor mechanisms can only achieve unidirectional fixed stroke transfer and cannot adapt to flexible adjustments of different sized trays or processing positions. Frequent mechanical adjustments are required during production changes, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automatic positioning and feeding device for a beveling machine. This device can accurately control the dual-axis motion trajectory of the feeding device, and features intelligent adaptive control and efficient transfer mechanism, thus solving the problems of low efficiency, large positioning deviation, and workpiece damage that exist in traditional manual feeding.

[0010] Preferably, a lifting module is installed on each of the first and second slides, and a suction cup assembly is installed below each lifting module.

[0011] Preferably, each of the lifting modules includes:

[0012] The second mounting plate is fixedly connected to the corresponding slide on one side.

[0013] The first linear guide rail is vertically mounted on the side of the second mounting plate;

[0014] The first slider is in sliding engagement with the first linear guide rail;

[0015] The third mounting plate is fixedly connected to the first slider, and the fourth mounting bracket is installed at the bottom of the third mounting plate;

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic positioning and feeding device for a beveling machine is provided, including a first support 1, a first linear drive module 2, a lifting module 3, and a suction cup assembly 4. The first linear drive module 2 is fixedly connected to the first support 1, the lifting module 3 is mounted on the slide of the first linear drive module 2, and the suction cup assembly 4 includes a fourth mounting bracket 41, which is mounted on the bottom of the lifting module 3, and a pneumatic suction cup 42 is mounted on the bottom of the fourth mounting bracket 41. Specifically, for X-axis positioning, the first linear drive module 2 drives the lifting module 3 to move horizontally to a preset position above the material tray. The material is picked up at a position (coordinates are calibrated by programming or a vision system). Then, the lifting module 3 descends, causing the suction cup assembly 4 to contact the workpiece surface (a stop signal can be triggered by a pressure sensor or photoelectric detection). The pneumatic suction cup 42 is evacuated, generating negative pressure to adsorb the workpiece. During the transfer, the lifting module 3 raises the workpiece to a safe height. The first linear drive module 2 moves the workpiece to the bevel machining position. During the lowering stage, the lifting module 3 performs a second fine-tuning of the height to keep the workpiece parallel to the bevel machine fixture. The suction cup releases the vacuum, and the workpiece falls into the machining position (or is received by a mechanical fixture).

[0028] In the above scheme, the material transfer efficiency is low. To further improve the workpiece transfer efficiency, as shown in the figure, a first linear drive module 2 is designed, which includes: a first mounting plate 25, a first slide 23, a second slide 24, a first motor 21, and a second motor 22. The first mounting plate 25 is fixedly connected to the first bracket 1. The first slide 23 and the second slide 24 are both slidably connected to the first mounting plate 25. The first motor 21 and the second motor 22 are both installed on both sides of the first mounting plate 25. The first motor 21 is used to drive the first slide 23 to slide along the X-axis direction on the first mounting plate 25. The second motor 22 is used to drive the second slide 24 to slide along the X-axis direction on the first mounting plate 25. A lifting module 3 is installed on each of the first slide 23 and the second slide 24. A suction cup assembly 4 is installed below each lifting module 3. The first linear drive module 2 adopts an innovative design of dual motors independently driving dual slides. This structure significantly improves the flexibility and efficiency of the device and provides two motion control modes. The first is synchronous mode: when the two slides move in the same direction, they can work together to transport large-sized workpieces. The second is asynchronous mode: when controlled independently, they can alternate feeding (e.g., when the first slide 23 picks up material, the second slide 24 can put material out at the same time).

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the lifting module 3 has been improved. Each lifting module 3 includes a second mounting plate 32, a first linear guide rail 34, a first slider 35, and a lifting cylinder 31. The second mounting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the corresponding slide block. The first linear guide rail 34 is vertically installed on the side of the second mounting plate 32. The first slider 35 slides with the first linear guide rail 34. The third mounting plate 33 is fixedly connected to the first slider 35. The fourth mounting bracket 41 is installed at the bottom of the third mounting plate 33. The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the second mounting plate 32. The third mounting plate 33 and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 31 are connected by a universal joint. In use, it is only necessary to control the lifting cylinder 31 to drive the third mounting plate 33 to move vertically on the second mounting plate 32. Through the constraint of the first linear guide rail 34 and the first slider 35, the third mounting plate 33 moves along the Z-axis on the second mounting plate 32, thereby satisfying the adjustment of the suction cup assembly 4 at different heights. The suction cup assembly 4 can better pick up the workpiece and assist in its transfer.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the third mounting plate 33 has a first dovetail groove 331, and the top of the fourth mounting bracket 41 is fixedly connected to a second slider 43 that matches the first dovetail groove 331. The second slider 43 has a vertical hole, and the third mounting plate 33 has a strip-shaped through groove 332. A pin is installed in the vertical hole below the strip-shaped through groove 332 to further constrain the position of the fourth mounting bracket 41. The second slider 43 matches in the first dovetail groove 331 to suspend the suction cup assembly 4 and make fine adjustments to the front and rear position (Y-axis position) of the suction cup assembly 4.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, three second linear guide rails 44 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fourth mounting bracket 41, and all three second linear guide rails 44 are parallel to the X-axis direction. The top of the pneumatic suction cup 42 is fixedly connected to a third slider 45 that slides with the second linear guide rail 44. Each second linear guide rail 44 is provided with two third sliders 45, and a pneumatic suction cup 42 is fixedly connected below each third slider 45, for a total of six pneumatic suction cups 42, which can pick up multiple workpieces at the same time. Each third slider 45 has a threaded hole on its side, and a fastening bolt that is threaded with it is installed in the threaded hole. After the fastening bolt is inserted into the threaded hole, it abuts against the side wall of the second linear guide rail 44, thereby fastening the third slider 45 to the second linear guide rail 44. The bolt is locked to ensure that the slider does not shift during the handling process. The six suction cups work simultaneously, which improves the handling efficiency of multiple workpieces, and is especially suitable for batch production scenarios.
