Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jewelry processing technology, and in particular to an automated processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The P4 automatic lathe is a high-precision, multi-axis CNC lathe widely used in hardware, machinery, electronics, automotive, and other fields. First, the operator needs to set the corresponding machining parameters in the P4 automatic lathe's control system according to the specific machining requirements. These parameters include, but are not limited to, cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. Correct parameter settings are crucial to ensuring machining accuracy and work efficiency. Next, the operator needs to place the workpiece to be machined on the lathe's worktable and select the appropriate tool according to the machining requirements. P4 / P3 automatic lathes are usually equipped with an automatic tool changer system, which allows for easy replacement of different tools to complete various machining tasks. After completing these two steps, the operator only needs to start the machining program in the control system, and the P4 automatic lathe will automatically complete the entire machining process. During this time, the operator needs to closely monitor the machining status to ensure everything is normal. The existing P4 automatic lathe feeds wire by rubbing the inner diameter of the feeder against the wire. The feeder is usually a working part used to guide and support the material. However, during long-term feeding, the feeder is prone to burning due to friction heat. This not only damages the feeder but also causes quality problems such as scratches and wear on the wire, making it difficult to feed accurately and affecting feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an automated processing device of this utility model includes a base 1, a wire feeder 2 disposed on the base 1, a cutting pin assembly 3 used in conjunction with the wire feeder 2, and a transmission assembly 4 used in conjunction with the cutting pin assembly 3. An infrared transmitter 5 is disposed on the side of the transmission assembly 4, and an infrared receiver 6 used in conjunction with the infrared transmitter 5 is disposed on the transmission assembly 4. A clamping cylinder 7 is disposed between the wire feeder 2 and the cutting pin assembly 3. The output end of the clamping cylinder 7 is driven and connected to a clamping arm 71. The infrared receiver 6 is electrically connected to the clamping cylinder 7.

[0024] During operation, the wire feeder 2 conveys the wire to the cutting assembly 3, and the transmission assembly 4 begins to rotate. Since the infrared receiver 6 is located on the transmission assembly 4, when the transmission assembly 4 rotates to a certain position, the infrared light signal emitted by the infrared transmitter 5 is received by the infrared receiver 6. The infrared receiver 6 then sends a detection signal to the control system, which sends a working command to the clamping cylinder 7, causing the clamping cylinder 7 to close the clamping arm 71 to clamp the wire. Simultaneously, the wire feeder 2 stops conveying the wire, and the transmission assembly 4 drives the cutting assembly 3 to cut the wire to the specified length. As the transmission assembly 4 continues to rotate, it blocks the infrared transmitter 5 from sending signals to the infrared receiver 6. If no signal is received, a detection signal is sent to the control system, which then issues a working command to the clamping cylinder 7, causing it to stop working and maintain the clamping arm 71 in an open state. Simultaneously, the wire feeder 2 continues to feed the wire, repeating the above steps to achieve automated cutting and feeding. With the periodic coordinated operation between the infrared transmitter 5 and the infrared receiver 6, signals are input to the clamping cylinder 7 within a periodic interval, controlling the clamping cylinder 7 to drive the clamping arm 71 to clamp the wire, facilitating the cutting assembly 3 to cut the wire. This achieves precise feeding and reduces the contact area and time with the wire by clamping it, effectively avoiding the problems of burning the nozzle and wire scratches found in existing technologies. This invention achieves information transmission and reception through the coordinated operation of the infrared transmitter 5 and the infrared receiver 6, thereby controlling the clamping cylinder 7 to accurately clamp the wire, achieving automated and precise feeding and improving feeding efficiency.

[0025] The transmission assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a mounting base 41, a transmission shaft 42 disposed on the mounting base 41, a reducer 43 driven and connected to the transmission shaft 42, a cam 44 sleeved on the outside of the transmission shaft 42, and a trigger wheel 45 spaced apart from the cam 44. The infrared receiver 6 is connected to the cam 44, and the trigger wheel 45 abuts against the cutting pin assembly 3. Specifically, the transmission shaft 42 is disposed on the mounting base 41 and is driven by an external motor in conjunction with a transmission belt structure to operate the reducer 43, causing the reducer 43 to drive the transmission shaft 42 to rotate, thereby causing the cam 44 and the trigger wheel 45 to rotate. Since the infrared receiver 6 is connected to the cam 44, it drives the infrared receiver 6 to rotate, realizing periodic collaborative work between the infrared transmitter 5 and the infrared receiver 6. The trigger wheel 45 drives the cutting pin assembly 3 to swing up and down through periodic rotation, which helps to cut a certain length of wire. The reducer 43 increases the output torque of the transmission shaft 42 and improves the performance of the cutting pin assembly 3.

[0026] The cutting assembly 3 in this embodiment includes a stand 31, a swing arm 32 rotatably mounted on the stand 31, a cutting blade 33 disposed at one end of the swing arm 32, and an abutment block 34 disposed at the other end of the swing arm 32. The abutment block 34 abuts against the outer wall of the trigger wheel 45. A hinge shaft 35 connects the swing arm 32 and the stand 31. Specifically, the rotating trigger wheel 45 pushes up the abutment block 34 of the swing arm 32, causing the swing arm 32 to rotate around the stand 31 via the hinge shaft 35, further driving the cutting blade 33 to move downward to cut the wire. The structure is compact and has high transmission efficiency.

[0027] In this embodiment, the support frame 31 is provided with a guide pipe 36, which is arranged opposite to the wire feeder 2. Specifically, the guide pipe 36 is arranged opposite to the wire feeder 2 to guide the wire through the guide pipe 36 and through the support frame 31, which helps the cutting pin assembly 3 to cut the wire.

[0028] In this embodiment, a first limiting rod 37 and a second limiting rod 38 are respectively provided on both sides of the upright frame 31. The guide tube 36 is located between the first limiting rod 37 and the second limiting rod 38, and the cutting blade 33 is located above the first limiting rod 37 and the second limiting rod 38. Specifically, the guide tube 36 is located between the first limiting rod 37 and the second limiting rod 38, and the cutting blade 33 is located above the first limiting rod 37 and the second limiting rod 38. The wire passes through the guide tube 36, passes through the upright frame 31, and is placed between the first limiting rod 37 and the second limiting rod 38. The gap between the first limiting rod 37 and the second limiting rod 38 can limit the movement range of the wire and effectively prevent malfunctions or accidents caused by misoperation.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
