Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of milling cutter packaging technology, and in particular to a tool gripping mechanism for a milling cutter packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] A milling cutter packaging machine is a device specifically designed for the automatic packaging of milling cutters. Its main components include a machine housing, a lid conveying device, a rotary feeding device, a milling cutter conveying device, a milling cutter handling device, a milling cutter marking device, a box conveying device, a box handling device, a milling cutter box conveying device, a label attaching device, a strapping device, and a feeding device.

[0003] The tool gripping mechanism of a milling cutter packaging machine is a crucial component of the entire equipment. It is primarily used to accurately grip the milling cutter from a designated position and transport it to the packaging station. Common tool gripping mechanisms include mechanical jaws and vacuum suction types. Mechanical jaws, driven by cylinders or motors, open and close the jaws and are suitable for milling cutters with suitable gripping positions. These mechanisms are typically equipped with high-precision sensors to ensure accurate gripping positions and stable, reliable operation, effectively improving packaging efficiency and quality. In existing technologies, when gripping milling cutters with mechanical jaws, the jaws often lack adaptive gripping and anti-scratch designs. Excessive gripping force can cause the milling cutter to slip, while excessive force can cause deformation or breakage of the shank or cutting edge, affecting tool accuracy and lifespan. Hard jaws directly contacting the high-hardness surface of the milling cutter easily produce scratches or indentations, reducing the tool's appearance quality and subsequent performance. Therefore, this paper proposes a tool gripping mechanism for milling cutter packaging machines to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a tool gripping mechanism for a milling cutter packaging machine.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A tool gripping mechanism for a milling cutter packaging machine includes a truss. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the truss. A transverse moving mechanism is provided on the surface of the mounting frame. A movable frame is provided outside the mounting frame.

A fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate. A sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod. A contact block is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rod. A telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the contact block. An inclined surface is provided on the top of the contact block. A disc is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder. A moving rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the disc. A collar is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the moving rod. A sloping surface is provided on the inner surface of the collar. An anti-scratch component is provided on the surface of the contact block.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the movable rod passes through the mounting plate and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate, and the clamping plate is located inside the fixed cylinder.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the end of the telescopic spring away from the contact block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed cylinder, and the sliding rod passes through the fixed cylinder.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the mounting groove is opened on the outer wall of the contact block away from the telescopic spring, the gas supply pipe passes through the fixed cylinder, and a local area of ​​the gas supply pipe is telescopically oriented.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the outer wall of the clamping airbag is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate away from the slide bar.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention achieves adaptive clamping through a three-point positioning clamping plate and a telescopic spring. Combined with a micro air pump on the contact block to drive the airbag to expand and contact the cutting tool, it effectively avoids hard friction. The cylinder precisely controls the clamping force through the inclined surface linkage mechanism. While ensuring gripping stability, it significantly reduces the risk of scratching the milling cutter edge and coating during the gripping and packaging process.

[0016] Meanwhile, this utility model also adds a contact switch to intelligently trigger the airbag inflation, which only works when clamping the tool. Combined with magnetic repulsion, the squeezing block automatically avoids the inclined surface of the collar, preventing the mechanism from jamming. The one-way valve of the airbag precisely controls the exhaust pressure, which significantly reduces energy consumption and improves system reliability while maintaining the adaptive anti-scratch function.

The clamping plate 10 is located inside the fixed cylinder 9. Three sets of sliding rods 11, contact blocks 12, and telescopic springs 14 are respectively arranged with the clamping plate 10, and are equidistant from the center point of the fixed cylinder 9.

The side wall of the contact block 12 is fixedly connected to the telescopic spring 14. The end of the telescopic spring 14 away from the contact block 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 9. The top of the contact block 12 has an inclined surface 13. The output end of the cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to a disc 15. A movable rod 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the device. The movable rod 16 passes through the mounting plate 6 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 6. A collar 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable rod 16. A ramp 18 is opened on the inner surface of the collar 17. The surface of the inclined surface 13 is adapted to the surface of the ramp 18. When the cylinder 8 drives the collar 17 to descend, the ramp 18 contacts the inclined surface 13 and can apply force to the contact block 12 to make it move closer to the fixed cylinder 9. The drive clamp 10 fits against the surface of the milling cutter. An external turntable is provided. A three-jaw chuck is provided on the turntable. The three-jaw chuck grips the inner cover of the packaging. After the milling cutter is gripped, it is vertically inserted into the inner cover of the packaging.

[0029] Reference Figures 3-5The surface of the contact block 12 is provided with anti-scratch components, which include a mounting groove 19, a micro air pump 20, an air supply pipe 21, and a gripping airbag 22. Each group of contact blocks 12 is provided with anti-scratch components. Before the clamping plate 10 is attached to the milling cutter, the gripping airbag 22 first contacts the surface of the milling cutter. The gripping airbag 22 can be slightly expanded by the inflation of the micro air pump 20 and contact the surface of the milling cutter to prevent damage to the surface of the milling cutter during gripping. The mounting groove 19 is opened on the outer wall of the contact block 12 away from the telescopic spring 14. The inner wall of the mounting groove 19 is fixedly connected to the micro air pump 20. The output end of the micro air pump 20 is fixedly connected to the air supply pipe 21. The air supply pipe 21 is partially telescopic. The air supply pipe 21 passes through the fixed cylinder 9. The end of the air supply pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the gripping airbag 22. The outer wall of the gripping airbag 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate 10 away from the slide bar 11.

[0030] Reference Figure 6 The outer wall of the contact block 12 has an embedded groove 23, and the inner wall of the embedded groove 23 is fixedly connected to a contact switch 24. When the movable end of the contact switch 24 is pressed, the micro air pump 20 starts to inflate. When the movable end of the contact switch 24 lacks force, the micro air pump 20 stops running. The clamping airbag 22 is provided with an air outlet pipe and a one-way valve to control the degree of deflation of the clamping airbag 22. The inner surface of the collar 17 has an avoidance groove 25, and the inner wall of the avoidance groove 25 is fixedly connected to a limit spring 26. The outer wall of the limit spring 26 is... The limiting spring 26 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the relief groove 25. The end of the limiting spring 26 is fixedly connected to the pressing block 27. The outer wall of the contact block 12 is provided with a groove 28. The groove 28 is located on the surface of the inclined surface 13. The inner wall of the groove 28 is fixedly connected to a magnetic strip 29. The pressing block 27 has a built-in magnet. The magnet in the pressing block 27 and the magnetic strip 29 on the opposite side are mutually repulsive. When the collar 17 is on the inclined surface 13, the pressing block 27 is subjected to magnetic repulsion and always stays inside the relief groove 25, so that the pressing block 27 will not bulge out and cause the collar 17 to be obstructed from descending.

[0031] Working principle: The motor in the horizontal moving mechanism 3 starts, driving the screw to rotate. The threaded slider, threadedly connected to the screw, moves the moving frame 4 horizontally across the surface of the mounting frame 2 under the guidance of the guide rail, thus positioning the gripping mechanism in the horizontal direction. Next, the motor in the vertical moving mechanism 5 rotates, causing the screw to rotate and, constrained by the vertical guide rail, move the mounting plate 6 vertically up and down, adjusting the gripping mechanism to a suitable height for gripping the milling cutter. Once the gripping mechanism is moved to the appropriate position above the milling cutter… When cylinder 8 is activated, its output end pushes disc 15, moving rod 16, and collar 17 downwards. The inclined surface 18 on the inner surface of collar 17 contacts the inclined surface 13 on the top of contact block 12. As collar 17 descends, the inclined surface 18 exerts force on the inclined surface 13, causing contact block 12 to overcome the elastic force of extension spring 14 and move towards fixed cylinder 9. This, in turn, drives clamping plate 10 to move towards the center of fixed cylinder 9, performing three-point positioning clamping on the milling cutter located inside fixed cylinder 9. The clamping block 27 within the relief groove 25 on the inner surface of collar 17 contains a built-in magnet. The magnetic strip 29 on the opposite side of the groove 28 of the contact block 12 is magnetically repelled. The squeezing block 27 is always inside the clearance groove 25 and will not obstruct the descent of the collar 17. When the collar 17 continues to descend, before the clamping plate 10 contacts the end mill, the contact switch 24 contacts and is pressed by the squeezing block 27, triggering the micro air pump 20 to start. The micro air pump 20 inflates the clamping airbag 22 through the air supply pipe 21. After the clamping airbag 22 expands slightly, it first contacts the surface of the end mill, which plays a buffering and anti-scratching role, avoiding direct contact between the clamping plate 10 and the end mill surface, thus preventing damage. When the end mill is stabilized... After the grabbing, the horizontal moving mechanism 3 and the vertical moving mechanism 5 work together again to move the grabbed milling cutter to the external turntable. At this time, the three-jaw chuck on the turntable has gripped the inner cover of the packaging. The grabbing mechanism inserts the milling cutter vertically into the inner cover of the packaging, completing the grabbing and packaging process of the milling cutter. After the grabbing is completed, the contact switch 24 is no longer pressurized, the micro air pump 20 stops running, the gripping airbag 22 exhausts air through the air outlet pipe and the one-way valve, the cylinder 8 drives the collar 17 to rise and reset, and the telescopic spring 14 causes the clamping plate 10 to release the milling cutter, waiting for the next grabbing task.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
