[0025] 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.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a grinding wheel placement rack, comprising:

[0028] The fixing component includes a placement rack 11, a slide rail 12 on the partition of the placement rack 11, a slider 13 fixed in the slide rail 12, a bolt 14 connecting the slide rail 12 and the slider 13, a grinding wheel stop 15 connected above the slider 13, and a tray 25 fitted into the grinding wheel stop 15.

[0029] The execution component includes a transmission rail 21 mounted on the outer surface of the upper layer of the placement frame 11, an execution arm 23 mounted in the transmission rail 21, a rotary joint a22 connecting the transmission rail 21 and the execution arm 23, an end execution disk 24 connected to the end of the rotary execution arm 23, and an electromagnet 241 fixed inside the end execution disk 24.

[0030] The placement frame 11 serves as the basic support structure for the entire device. The slide rail 12 on the placement frame 11 provides a track for the slider 13, allowing the slider 13 to slide on the slide rail 12. The grinding wheel stop 15 acts as a block and fixation for the grinding wheel. During operation, the end actuation disk 24 attracts the tray 25, fixing the grinding wheel between the two, thereby completing the transfer of the object. The end actuation disk 24 drives the tray 25 to move above the grinding wheel stop 15. After the grinding wheel stop 15 and the tray 25 are fitted and fixed, the electromagnet 241 stops its attraction function. The rotary joint a22 connects the transmission rail 21 and the actuation arm 23, enabling the actuation arm 23 to rotate around a specific axis.

[0031] The actuator also includes a gasket b26 that is adhered to the surface of the tray 25, a mating interface b27 located in the center of the tray 25, a gasket a242 that is adhered to the surface of the end actuator 24, and a mating interface a243 located in the center of the surface of the end actuator 24.

[0032] The gaskets a242 and b26 on the surfaces of the end effector disk 24 and the tray 25 can reduce vibration during transportation and prevent damage to the grinding wheel. The groove of the interface a243 can be completely fitted with the protrusion on the interface b27 to prevent it from falling off during transportation.

[0033] The grinding wheel stop 15 is in an inclined state, and the texture behind the tray 25 can be completely fitted and fixed with the grinding wheel stop 15;

[0034] The grinding wheel stop 15 is tilted, which makes the tray 25 more stable and prevents the tray 25 and the grinding wheel on it from falling off due to vibration. When processing is not required on the placement rack 11, the bolt 14 is in a loose state and can be arranged according to the size of the grinding wheel. When processing is required, the bolt 14 is tightened to ensure that the grinding wheel does not slip.

[0035] The slot of the electromagnet 241 is fixed in the middle of the end actuation disk 24, and the notch of the interface a243 and the protrusion of the interface b27 can fit together seamlessly.

[0036] The electromagnet is disc-shaped, so the tray 25 will not fall off due to uneven adsorption force. When the end effector 24 picks up the grinding wheel, the grinding wheel is placed on the tray 25. After fixing the interface a243 and the interface b27, the tray 25 and the grinding wheel are adsorbed on the front of the end effector 24. After reaching the destination, the adsorption stops and the tray 25 and the grinding wheel are put down.

[0037] The actuator also includes a rotary joint b221 that connects to the actuator arm 23 and a rotary joint c222 that connects the actuator arm 23 and the end effector disk 24;

[0038] Rotary joint a22 connects transmission rail 21 and actuator arm 23, enabling actuator arm 23 to rotate around a specific axis. Actuator arm 23 also performs additional rotational movements through rotary joint b221 to increase operational flexibility. End actuator disk 24 is connected to the end of actuator arm 23 through rotary joint c222.

[0039] Working principle: When machining is required on the placement rack 11, depending on the size of the grinding wheel, first loosen the bolt 14 connecting the slider 13 and the slide rail 12, adjust the position of the slider 13 on the slide rail 12, and then tighten the bolt 14 to fix it. The actuator starts working. The actuator arm 23 moves flexibly above the tray 25 within the transmission rail 21 by means of the rotation of the rotary joint. The end actuator plate 24 attracts the tray 25 through the electromagnet 241, fixing the grinding wheel between the end actuator plate 24 and the tray 25. Then it moves above the grinding wheel stop 15, the electromagnet 241 stops working, and the tray 25 and the inclined grinding wheel stop 15 are tightly fitted and fixed by the groove, and the grinding wheel is placed on the placement rack 11.

[0040] This solution reduces the cost and time required to adjust the placement rack due to changes in grinding wheel specifications.

[0041] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:

[0042] The laser detection component includes a laser source 31 located at the center of the surface of the end effector disk 24, a focusing lens 32 disposed outside the laser source 31, and a laser receiver 33 located above the laser source 31.

[0043] When the end-effector 24 is idle, the laser scans the inside of the placement rack 11 to determine the position of the grinding wheel stop on the placement rack 11.

[0044] Working principle: The laser source 31 emits a laser beam, which is focused by the outer focusing lens 32 and directed toward the grinding wheel. The laser beam is reflected or scattered by the surface of the grinding wheel. The laser receiver 33 located above the laser source 31 captures the reflected or scattered signals and converts them into electrical signals. After processing and analysis, the electrical signals are used to obtain information such as the position and surface condition of the grinding wheel, providing feedback for the processing operation.

[0045] This solution ensures that the grinding wheel is securely placed on the grinding wheel stop, reducing the risk of it falling.

[0046] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
