Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a multi-station processing equipment for automotive sensor housings, belonging to the field of automotive sensor housing processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] As a key carrier protecting the core components of sensors and ensuring their accurate operation, automotive sensor housings play an indispensable role in automotive electronic systems. Their processing integrates precision manufacturing and advanced materials technology, typically using high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials such as aluminum alloys and stainless steel. Through processes such as precision die casting and CNC milling, they are shaped into compact housings that are adaptable to different sensor functions, ensuring robust protection for internal chips and circuits.

[0003] Traditional automotive sensor housing processing typically employs decentralized processing using single-station equipment. This means that drilling, tapping, and grinding are performed independently on different machines. Frequent workpiece transfers and manual clamping are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low production efficiency, but also make it difficult to meet the large-scale, high-efficiency production needs of the automotive manufacturing industry. Furthermore, traditional single-station equipment occupies a large space, has high equipment investment and maintenance costs, and has a low degree of automation and requires a lot of manual intervention, which seriously restricts the progress of large-scale production of automotive parts.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the multi-station processing equipment for automotive sensor housings in order to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-station processing equipment for automotive sensor housings. Through the coordinated operation of a chain conveyor with drilling, tapping, and grinding stations, it achieves fully automated multi-station processing of automotive sensor housings, significantly improving production efficiency. The chain conveyor drives a uniformly distributed clamping mechanism in a cyclical movement, precisely transporting the housing to each station, avoiding manual handling errors and shortening process connection time. The electric slide table at the drilling station works with the drilling motor to quickly complete high-precision drilling. The servo motor at the tapping station drives the tap, ensuring stable thread processing quality. The grinding station uses a lifting cylinder to drive a ring guide rail for height adjustment. The electric ring slider, in conjunction with the linear guide rail and electric linear slider, allows the grinding disc to move flexibly in three-dimensional space, achieving all-round, no-dead-angle grinding of the housing, greatly improving surface quality. The close connection between each station eliminates the need for manual intervention, reducing the impact of human factors on processing accuracy, effectively lowering enterprise production costs, and enhancing market competitiveness.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the multi-station processing equipment for automotive sensor housings provided in this embodiment includes a conveyor frame 1, a chain conveyor 2 installed on the conveyor frame 1, a plurality of evenly distributed clamping mechanisms 3 installed on the chain of the chain conveyor 2, and a processing chamber 4 provided in the middle of the conveyor frame 1. A drilling station 5 is provided inside the processing chamber 4, a tapping station 6 is provided on one side of the drilling station 5, and a grinding station 7 is provided on the side of the tapping station 6 away from the drilling station 5. The drilling station 5, the tapping station 6 and the grinding station 7 are all installed on the conveyor frame 1.

[0027] The grinding station 7 includes two lifting cylinders 71, both of which are fixedly mounted on the conveyor frame 1. The output ends of the lifting cylinders 71 are fixedly connected to an annular guide rail 72. Two electric annular sliders 73 are slidably connected to the annular guide rail 72. The two electric annular sliders 73 are connected by a connecting plate 74, and a linear guide rail 75 is mounted on the connecting plate 74. An electric linear slider 76 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 75. A grinding motor 77 is mounted on the electric linear slider 76. The output end of the grinding motor 77 is fixedly connected to a grinding disc 78 via a rotating shaft. The chain conveyor 2 on the conveyor frame 1 drives several evenly distributed clamping mechanisms 3 to move cyclically, fixing the automotive sensor housing and sequentially feeding it into the central processing chamber 4. First, the drilling station 5 drills holes in the sensor housing, and then the chain conveyor 2 continues to transport the housing. The sensor housing is then conveyed to tapping station 6, where thread processing is completed. It is then transferred to grinding station 7, where two lifting cylinders 71 fixed to the conveyor frame 1 are activated. Their outputs drive the annular guide rail 72 to move up and down to adjust the grinding height. Two electric annular sliders 73 on the annular guide rail 72 slide synchronously, driving the linear guide rail 75 mounted on it to move via the connecting plate 74. The electric linear slider 76 on the linear guide rail 75 slides along a straight line, causing the grinding motor 77 mounted on it to drive the grinding disc 78 to move horizontally and vertically, performing all-around grinding on the sensor housing. Through the coordinated operation of the chain conveyor 2 with drilling station 5, tapping station 6, and grinding station 7, the entire process of automated multi-station processing of the automotive sensor housing, from automatic conveying, drilling, tapping to grinding, is realized, effectively improving processing efficiency.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the drilling station 5 includes two electric slides 51, both of which are mounted on the conveyor frame 1. A drilling motor 52 is mounted on each slide 51, and the output end of the drilling motor 52 is fixedly connected to a drill bit 53 via a rotating shaft. The tapping station 6 includes two servo motors 61, both of which are mounted on the conveyor frame 1. The output end of the servo motor 61 is fixedly connected to a tap 62 via a rotating shaft. The grinding disc 78, drill bit 53, and tap 62 all correspond to the clamping mechanism 3 on the chain conveyor 2. The two electric slides 51 at position 5 drive the drilling motor 52 and the drill bit 53 to align with the car sensor housing fixed by the clamping mechanism 3 on the chain conveyor 2. The drilling motor 52 drives the drill bit 53 to rotate to complete the drilling operation. The two servo motors 61 at the tapping station 6 are also installed on the conveyor frame 1. After the drilling is completed, the servo motors 61 drive the tap 62 to rotate and feed to perform tapping operation at the drilling position. This enables automated continuous processing of drilling and tapping processes for the car sensor housing, thereby ensuring hole position accuracy and thread quality.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a fixed plate 31, which is mounted on the chain of the chain conveyor 2. A clamping guide rail 32 is mounted above the fixed plate 31, and a bidirectional cylinder 33 is mounted below the fixed plate 31. L-shaped rods 34 are fixedly connected to both output ends of the bidirectional cylinder 33. A push rod 35 is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped rod 34 away from the bidirectional cylinder 33, and a clamping slider 36 is fixedly connected to the other end of the push rod 35. The clamping slider 36 is slidably mounted on the clamping guide rail 32, and a clamping plate 37 is fixedly mounted on the clamping slider 36. The car sensor housing is placed... On the fixed plate 31, the bidirectional cylinder 33 is activated, and its two output ends extend synchronously, pushing the L-shaped rod 34. This, in turn, drives the clamping slider 36 to slide smoothly along the clamping guide rail 32 via the push rod 35, causing the two clamping plates 37 to gradually close and firmly clamp the outer shell from both sides. The clamping guide rail 32 ensures that the clamping slider 36 moves accurately, preventing the outer shell from shifting during drilling, tapping, and grinding, thus ensuring machining accuracy. After machining is completed, the bidirectional cylinder 33 retracts, causing the clamping plates 37 to loosen and the outer shell to be removed, thereby realizing an efficient and stable workpiece clamping and transfer process.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the processing chamber 4 is equipped with a chip blowing mechanism 8, which includes two lifting guide rails 81. Both lifting guide rails 81 are installed on the inner side walls of both sides of the processing chamber 4, and lifting sliders 82 are slidably connected to the lifting guide rails 81. Several evenly distributed nozzles 83 are installed on the lifting sliders 82, and the nozzles 83 are connected to an external air compressor through an air pump. A waste chip collection box 9 is set at the bottom of the processing chamber 4, which corresponds to the chip blowing mechanism 8. The lifting slider 82 moves along the lifting guide rails 81, driving the several evenly distributed nozzles 83 on it to adjust to a suitable height. The external air compressor supplies air to the nozzles 83 through an air pump, causing them to spray high-speed airflow, blowing off metal chips, dust, etc. from the outer shell surface and inside the processing chamber 4. Under the action of the airflow, the waste chips fall into the waste chip collection box 9 at the bottom of the processing chamber 4, thereby realizing the centralized collection of waste chips, keeping the processing environment clean, avoiding the waste chips from interfering with the subsequent processing accuracy and affecting the normal operation of the equipment, and ensuring the smooth progress of the processing flow.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the end of the chain conveyor 2 is provided with a discharge plate 10. One end of the discharge plate 10 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 1, and the other end of the discharge plate 10 is connected to the workpiece collection box 11. The chain conveyor 2 transports the car sensor housing that has completed drilling, tapping and grinding processes to the end. One end of the discharge plate 10 is fixed to the conveyor frame 1, and the other end is connected to the workpiece collection box 11, providing a transition channel for the housing so that it slides down the discharge plate 10 into the workpiece collection box 11, thereby realizing automatic collection of finished products, simplifying the handling process, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the principle of the multi-station processing equipment for automotive sensor housings provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0033] The car sensor housing is placed on the fixed plate 31. The bidirectional cylinder 33 is activated, and its two output ends extend synchronously, pushing the L-shaped rod 34. This, in turn, drives the clamping slider 36 to slide smoothly along the clamping guide rail 32 via the push rod 35, causing the two clamping plates 37 to gradually close and firmly clamp the housing from both sides. The chain conveyor 2 on the conveyor frame 1 drives several evenly distributed clamping mechanisms 3 to move cyclically, sequentially feeding the car sensor housing into the central processing chamber 4. First, the two electric slides 51 of the drilling station 5 drive the drilling motor 52 and the drill bit 53 to align with the car sensor housing fixed on the clamping mechanism 3 on the chain conveyor 2. The drilling motor 52 drives the drill bit 53 to rotate to complete the drilling operation. After drilling is completed, the servo motor 61 drives the tap 62 to rotate and feed, performing tapping operation on the drilling position. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder 71 is activated, and its output end drives the annular guide rail 72 to move up and down to adjust the grinding height. The two electric annular sliders 76 on the annular guide rail 72... 3. Synchronous sliding: The linear guide rail 75 mounted on the connecting plate 74 moves, and the electric linear slider 76 on the linear guide rail 75 slides along the straight line, thereby causing the grinding motor 77 mounted on it to drive the grinding disc 78 to move in the horizontal and vertical directions, performing all-round grinding on the sensor housing. During drilling, tapping and grinding, the lifting slider 82 moves along the lifting guide rail 81, driving several evenly distributed nozzles 83 on it to adjust to a suitable height. The external air compressor supplies air to the nozzles 83 through the air pump, causing them to spray high-speed airflow, blowing off metal chips and dust from the surface of the housing and inside the processing chamber 4. Under the action of the airflow, the waste chips fall into the waste chip collection box 9 at the bottom of the processing chamber 4. The chain conveyor 2 transports the automotive sensor housing that has completed the drilling, tapping and grinding processes to the end, allowing it to slide down the discharge plate 10 into the workpiece collection box 11, completing the automatic collection of finished products, thereby improving processing efficiency and production efficiency.
