Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of grinding machine feeding technology, and in particular to a grinding machine auxiliary feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Grinding machines, as an important type of metal cutting machine tool, are mainly used to grind the surface of workpieces to obtain high-precision dimensions, shapes, and surface roughness. They are widely used in many fields such as machinery manufacturing, automotive parts, and aerospace, and are one of the key pieces of equipment to ensure the processing quality of industrial products.

[0003] The grinding machine loading device transports the workpiece to a robotic arm near the grinding machine via a conveyor belt. The robotic arm then picks up the workpiece and places it onto the grinding machine for processing.

[0004] Current grinding machine auxiliary feeding devices mostly adopt fixed structural designs for conveying circular workpieces, such as a single straight conveying channel. Once the structural parameters are determined, they cannot be adjusted, making it difficult to adapt to the conveying needs of different scenarios. Because the conveying structure is fixed, the device cannot flexibly adjust the conveying path of the circular workpiece according to the actual installation position and relative distance of the grinding machine and the robot, and cannot achieve adaptive changes in conveying direction and angle.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a grinding machine auxiliary feeding device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a grinding machine auxiliary feeding device.

[0007] The grinding machine auxiliary feeding device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A grinding machine auxiliary feeding device includes a bracket, a conveyor belt rotatably mounted on the bracket, a support frame fixedly connected to the bracket, a rotating disk rotatably connected to the bottom end of the support frame, and a groove for conveying workpieces formed on the outer wall of the rotating disk. A fixed frame is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support frame, a fixed rod is fixed to the end of the fixed frame, an adjusting plate and a guide plate are fixed to the bottom end of the fixed rod, a baffle rotating outside the rotating disk is fixed to the end of the guide plate, a guide plate is fixed to the end of the baffle, a side plate located at the upper end of the conveyor belt is fixed to the side wall of the bracket, and a movable plate is horizontally slidably mounted on one side of the side plate, with the right end of the movable plate abutting against the outer surface of the guide plate.

[0009] Preferably, a support column is fixed to the upper end of the side plate, a slide rod is slidably connected to one end of the support column, a fixing column is fixed to the end of the slide rod, and the bottom end of the fixing column is fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable plate.

[0010] Preferably, the support column has an L-shaped structure, a spring is fixed between the support column and the fixed column, and the sliding rod passes through the inside of the spring.

[0011] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixed to the upper surface of the fixing frame, and a screw is threadedly connected to the fixing plate, with one end of the screw contacting the outer surface of the end of the support frame.

[0012] Preferably, the right end of the side plate has an arc-shaped structure, the right end of the side plate, the baffle and the circle of the rotating disk are located at the same position, and an inclined plate is fixed to the inner wall of the side plate.

[0013] Preferably, a motor is fixed to the horizontal end of the support frame, a second gear is fixed to the output shaft at the lower end of the motor, and a first gear is fixed to the outer wall at the upper end of the rotating disk, with the first gear meshing with the second gear.

[0014] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] 1. This application can flexibly adjust the workpiece conveying direction. By rotating the adjusting plate counterclockwise, the guide plate and other components can be rotated. The workpiece conveying path can be adjusted according to the position requirements of the grinding machine and the robot, adapting to different working scenarios.

[0016] 2. Improve the smoothness of workpiece conveying. When adjusting the angle between the adjusting plate and the guide plate, the guide plate will push the movable plate to the left, so that the guide plate and the movable plate form an angle greater than 90 degrees. This can guide the messy workpieces between the movable plate and the side plate to the groove of the rotating disk, reducing conveying obstruction.

[0017] 3. To achieve automated auxiliary feeding of grinding machines, the workpiece can be transported in an orderly manner to the area below the robot arm through the cooperation of components such as conveyor belt, rotating disk, and guide plate, and then the robot arm will pick it up and put it into the grinding machine, reducing manual intervention and improving feeding efficiency.

[0023] 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.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this application discloses a grinding machine auxiliary feeding device, including a bracket 1, a conveyor belt 2 rotatably mounted on the bracket 1, a support frame 12 fixedly connected to the bracket 1, a rotating disk 13 rotatably connected to the bottom end of the support frame 12, and a groove 19 for conveying workpiece 18 on the outer wall of the rotating disk 13. The groove 19 is provided in multiple ways. A fixed frame 8 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support frame 12. A fixed rod 9 is fixed to the end of the fixed frame 8. An adjusting plate 10 and a guide plate 11 are fixed to the bottom end of the fixed rod 9. A baffle 7 rotatably mounted outside the rotating disk 13 is fixed to the end of the guide plate 11. A guide plate 6 is fixed to the end of the baffle 7. A side plate 14 located at the upper end of the conveyor belt 2 is fixed to the side wall of the bracket 1. A movable plate 3 is horizontally slidably mounted on one side of the side plate 14. The right end of the movable plate 3 is in contact with the outer surface of the guide plate 6.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the circular workpiece 18 for loading onto the grinding machine is placed between the movable plate 3 and the side plate 14. The conveyor belt 2 rotates clockwise, conveying the workpiece 18 towards the rotating disk 13 until it enters the groove 19 of the rotating disk 13. The rotating disk 13 then rotates clockwise, conveying the workpiece 18 from the groove 19 to one side of the guide plate 11. The guide plate 11 blocks the workpiece 18, moving it between the guide plate 11 and the adjusting plate 10. The conveyor belt 2 continues to rotate, conveniently conveying the workpiece 18 between the guide plate 11 and the adjusting plate 10 along the length of the adjusting plate 10 to below the robot arm. The robot arm then clamps the workpiece 18 from one side of the adjusting plate 10 onto the grinding machine for auxiliary loading. The adjusting plate 10 is rotated counterclockwise, fixing the guide plate 11... The rod 9 and the fixed frame 8 rotate together to adjust the angle of the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11, as shown in the figure. At this time, the workpiece 18 that has entered the groove 19 can be rotated by the rotating disk 13 to the space between the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11 after the angle is adjusted. This allows the conveying direction of the workpiece 18 to be adjusted according to the position requirements of the grinding machine and the robot. In addition, when the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11 rotate counterclockwise to adjust the angle, the baffle 7 and the guide plate 6 rotate together. During the rotation of the guide plate 6, the movable plate 3 is squeezed and pushed to the left. At this time, the guide plate 6 and the movable plate 3 form an angle greater than 90 degrees, which is beneficial to guide the messy workpiece 18 between the movable plate 3 and the side plate 14 to the groove 19 of the rotating disk 13 through the guide plate 6, making it convenient to convey the workpiece 18 between the guide plate 11 and the adjusting plate 10.

[0026] It should be noted that the vertical distance between the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11 is set according to the diameter of the circular workpiece 18. To accommodate the diameter of the circular workpiece 18, the workpiece 18 is transported from between the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11 to the vicinity of the grinding machine, where it is picked up by a robot (not shown in the figure) and fed onto the grinding machine for auxiliary feeding.

[0027] A support column 15 is fixed to the upper end of the side plate 14. A slide rod 5 is slidably connected to one end of the support column 15. A fixed column 4 is fixed to the end of the slide rod 5. The bottom end of the fixed column 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable plate 3. The support column 15 has an L-shaped structure. A spring 17 is fixed between the support column 15 and the fixed column 4. The slide rod 5 passes through the inside of the spring 17. When the movable plate 3 is squeezed and moved by the rotation of the baffle 7 and the guide plate 6, the fixed column 4 moves and drives the slide rod 5 to slide on the support column 15, stretching the spring 17. In this way, the elastic force of the spring 17 can make the slide rod 5 and the movable plate 3 move to the right.

[0028] A fixing plate 20 is fixed on the upper surface of the fixing frame 8. The fixing plate 20 is threaded with a screw 21. One end of the screw 21 contacts the outer surface of the end of the support frame 12. By rotating the screw 21, the end of the screw 21 is pressed and adhered to the upper outer surface of the support frame 12, which increases the rotational resistance between the fixing frame 8 and the support frame 12 and prevents the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11 from rotating easily.

[0029] The right end of the side plate 14 has an arc-shaped structure. The right end of the side plate 14, the baffle 7 and the circle of the rotating disk 13 are located at the same position. An inclined plate 16 is fixed on the inner wall of the side plate 14. In order to enable the rotating disk 13 to transport the workpiece 18 between the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11 during the conveying process of the workpiece 18.

[0030] A motor 24 is fixed to the horizontal end of the support frame 12. A second gear 23 is fixed to the output shaft at the lower end of the motor 24. A first gear 22 is fixed to the outer wall at the upper end of the rotating disk 13. The first gear 22 and the second gear 23 are meshed together. The motor 24 drives the second gear 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 22 to rotate, causing the rotating disk 13 to rotate clockwise at a low speed, thus conveying the workpiece 18 in the groove 19 between the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11.

[0031] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0032] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0033] Working principle: By rotating the adjusting plate 10 counterclockwise, the guide plate 11, the fixing rod 9, and the fixing frame 8 rotate together, adjusting the angle of the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11. At this time, the workpiece 18 entering the groove 19 can be rotated by the rotating disk 13 to the space between the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11 after the angle is adjusted. This allows the conveying direction of the workpiece 18 to be adjusted according to the position requirements of the grinding machine and the robot. In addition, when the adjusting plate 10 and the guide plate 11 are rotated counterclockwise to adjust the angle, the baffle 7 and the guide plate 6 are driven to rotate together. During the rotation of the guide plate 6, the movable plate 3 is squeezed and pushed to the left, which facilitates the guidance of the messy workpiece 18 between the movable plate 3 and the side plate 14 to the groove 19 of the rotating disk 13 through the guide plate 6.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
