[0002] In the field of precision machining of hardware products, the traditional scissor handle grinding process has long relied on manual operation, resulting in significant technical bottlenecks and safety hazards. In the existing process system, operators must directly hold the workpiece close to the high-speed rotating grinding equipment, facing the dual occupational health threats of pervasive metal dust and continuous noise pollution. The grinding force applied manually depends entirely on operator experience, leading to inconsistent parameters in key workpiece dimensions such as burr residue and surface roughness. Especially for precision components requiring strict control over grip comfort, traditional processes struggle to meet the stringent consistency requirements of the high-end market.

[0003] While existing semi-automatic grinding equipment has attempted to incorporate positioning devices, this technology still suffers from fundamental flaws: manual intervention is required in the loading and unloading process, resulting in inconsistent production rhythms; the rigid clamping mechanism has poor adaptability, leading to lengthy equipment changeovers and adjustments. These technical shortcomings directly result in systemic problems such as low production efficiency, fluctuating product qualification rates, and insufficient equipment utilization, hindering the intelligent transformation and upgrading of the hardware processing industry.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical pain points, this utility model provides a scissor handle grinding workstation. This workstation, through the innovative integration of an industrial robotic arm and the workstation, constructs a fully automated solution. This workstation eliminates manual operation and breaks through the limitations of traditional processes, achieving breakthroughs in core technologies such as automatic workpiece loading and unloading, flexible positioning, and constant force grinding. It provides the hardware products industry with a solution that combines high efficiency, stability, and intelligent manufacturing. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a grinding device 1, a material fixing platform 2, an industrial robotic arm 3, and an integrated control cabinet 4. Several product components 6 are positioned and fitted on the material fixing platform 2. The industrial robotic arm 3 is used to move the product components 6 and cooperates with the grinding device 1. The integrated control cabinet 4 is electrically connected to the grinding device 1, the material fixing platform 2, and the industrial robotic arm 3. Therefore, the grinding device 1 grinds the sides of the product components 6, the material fixing platform 2 stores several products to be ground, the industrial robotic arm 3 grips the product components 6 and transports them to the grinding area of ​​the grinding device 1 for grinding, and the integrated control cabinet 4 houses the controllers and drivers of the relevant actuators, transmits various electrical signals, and ensures the orderly cooperation of the material fixing platform 2 and the industrial robotic arm 3.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the scissor handle grinding workstation is also equipped with a finished product frame 5, which is used to store the ground product components 6, and the industrial robotic arm 3 is used to place the ground product components 6 into the finished product frame 5. Thus, the scissor handle grinding workstation provides support and fixation for the finished product frame 5, and the finished product frame 5 serves to store the ground product components 6.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the grinding equipment 1 is a belt sander, and the rollers on the grinding equipment 1 are floating. The surface of the rollers is covered with a flexible material, and the rollers drive the sanding belt to slide against the outer side 60 of the product component 6 to grind away the burrs. Thus, the grinding equipment 1 provides efficient, precise, and safe grinding for the product component 6. The floating rollers on the grinding equipment 1 act as a buffer upon initial contact with the product component 6, preventing excessive impact from the industrial robotic arm 3 from damaging the product component 6.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the material fixing platform 2 includes a fixed frame 20, a pushing component 21, a product storage component 22, and a product fixing component 23. The product storage component 22 and the product fixing component 23 are installed on the top of the fixed frame 20. The pushing component 21 is installed inside the fixed frame 20. The movable end of the pushing component 21 is limited to the outer side 60 of the product element 6. The pushing component 21 is used to push the product element 6, which is limited in the product storage component 22, into the product fixing component 23. The product fixing component 23 is used to fix the outer side 60 of the product element 6 to facilitate the gripping of the industrial robotic arm 3. Therefore, the fixed frame 20 provides support and fixation for the pushing assembly 21, the product storage assembly 22, and the product fixing assembly 23. The product storage assembly 22 provides a limiting position for the stacked product components 6. The pushing assembly 21, as the transporter of the product, preferably a sliding cylinder, pushes a product component 6, so that the product component 6 is in a limiting engagement with the product fixing assembly 23, waiting for the industrial robotic arm 3 to grab the product component 6.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end of the industrial robotic arm 3 is provided with a product gripper, which consists of a drive component 30 and a gripper component 31. The drive component 30 is used to drive the gripper component 31 to open and close. The gripper component 31 is in a limiting fit with the inner side 61 of the product element 6, and the contact portion between the gripper component 31 and the product element 6 is provided with a flexible material. Thus, the drive component 30 drives the gripper component 31 to open and close. The contact end of the gripper component 31 is designed as a cylindrical flexible material, which allows for a sufficient limiting fit between the gripper component 31 and the curved inner side 61 of the product element 6. The selection of the flexible material allows for slight positional and orientation errors when the gripper component 31 grips the product element 6 held by the product fixing assembly 23.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the industrial robotic arm 3 is positioned at the center, and the grinding equipment 1, the material fixing platform 2, and the finished product frame 5 are installed around the industrial robotic arm 3. Therefore, the industrial robotic arm 3 is positioned at the center to achieve efficient grinding through space optimization, process simplification, and efficiency maximization. As an execution unit, the industrial robotic arm 3 needs to cover the entire process of material picking, grinding, and unloading, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the product storage assembly 22 consists of a storage bracket 220 and at least three limiting components. The limiting components are evenly installed on the storage bracket 220, and the limiting components cooperate with the stacked product elements 6 for limiting. Thus, the storage bracket 220 serves as a basic frame, providing support and fixation for the limiting components. Simultaneously, the storage bracket 220 is supported by four pillars, allowing the movable end of the pusher assembly 21 to pass through. The limiting components limit the movement of the stacked product elements 6.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the product fixing component 23 includes a sliding limiting component 230, a forward limiting component 231, and a lateral limiting component 232. The product element 6 is pushed by the pushing component 21 to engage with the forward limiting component 231 and the lateral limiting component 232 respectively. The sliding limiting component 230 is controlled by the integrated control cabinet 4 to engage with the product element 6. Therefore, the forward limiting component 231 serves as the primary positioning reference for the product component 6, and the lateral limiting component 232 serves as the secondary positioning reference for the product component 6. Support rods are provided on the contact sides of the forward limiting component 231 and the lateral limiting component 232, allowing them to make point contact with the product component, thus making the positioning of the product component 6 more accurate. When the product component 6 is limited by the forward limiting component 231 and the lateral limiting component 232, the sliding limiting component 230 extends out to limit the movement, making it easier for the industrial robotic arm 3 to grasp the product component 6.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the gripper component 31 is a four-jaw pneumatic gripper. It is evident that the four-jaw pneumatic gripper has significant mechanical and cost advantages, and also offers high form compatibility. It can adapt to workpieces with different contours (such as outer circles, inner holes, and irregular surfaces) by independently adjusting the stroke of each gripper finger. The four-jaw pneumatic gripper also makes the gripping action more stable.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the limiting component consists of a waist hole component 221 and a limiting rod 222. One end of the waist hole component 221 is fixedly engaged with the limiting rod 222. The waist hole component 221 is provided with an adjustable limiting part. The waist hole component 221 engages with the storage bracket 220 through the limiting part, and the limiting rod 222 engages with the stacked product components 6. Thus, the waist hole component 221 serves to fix the limiting rod 222, and the waist hole component 221, through its limiting part, engages with the storage bracket 220 to adjust the position of the limiting component, thereby limiting the product components 6 of different sizes. The limiting rod 222 also engages with the outer sides 60 of the stacked product components 6 to limit their movement.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0038] Several product components 6 to be ground are stacked on the material fixing platform 2. The pushing component 21 actuates, pushing the stacked product components 6 at the bottom of the product storage component 22 to the product fixing component 23. Then, the sliding limiting component 230 extends and clamps the product components 6 together with the forward limiting component 231 and the lateral limiting component 232. Subsequently, the industrial robotic arm 3, carrying the product fixture, enters the clamping area. The flexible material on the gripper component 31 is located inside the scissor handle 61. Then, the driving component 30 drives the gripper component 21 to open, cylindrical The flexible material is squeezed into the inner side 61 of the product element, and then the sliding limit assembly 230 is released. At this point, the gripper component 31 clamps the product element 6 to be ground. The industrial robotic arm 3 drives the product element 6 to be ground into the grinding area. The industrial robotic arm 23 is in a grinding posture. Then, the last joint of the industrial robotic arm 23 also rotates to complete the grinding of the flash on the outer side 60 of the product. After the product element 6 is ground, the end of the industrial robotic arm 3 moves to the top of the finished product frame 5. Then, the gripper component 31 releases the product element 6, and the ground product element 6 successfully falls into the finished product frame 5. This cycle is repeated.
