Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of chamfering machine technology, and in particular to an automatic chamfering machine for golf clubs. Background Technology

[0002] A cue stick consists of a head and a shaft. During the manufacturing process, the ends of the shaft need to be chamfered to prevent the sharp ends from cutting your hands and to facilitate mating with the holes.

[0003] Existing automatic chamfering machines are mainly used for chamfering cylindrical rods. Since the outer wall of a cylindrical rod is a complete cylindrical surface, the rods are relatively easy to arrange and push, making it convenient for automatic chamfering.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, since one end of the cue stick is the ball head, and the diameter of the ball head is larger than that of the cue stick body, the cue stick cannot be placed stably, and the cue sticks cannot be arranged neatly. Existing chamfering machines cannot be adapted to automatically chamfer the cue sticks. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides an automatic chamfering machine for golf clubs, which can automatically chamfer the clubs.

[0006] This application provides an automatic chamfering machine for golf clubs, which adopts the following technical solution: An automatic chamfering machine for golf clubs includes a frame, a telescopic and rotatable power head device, a chamfering blade fixed on the blade holder of the power head device, a feed channel and a horizontally arranged linear module fixed on the frame, a base body one fixed at the movable end of the linear module, a vertically arranged cylinder one fixed at the base body one, a base body two fixed at the movable end of the cylinder one, a cylinder two and a pneumatic gripper two fixed at the base body two, the telescopic direction of the cylinder two being parallel to the telescopic direction of the power head device, a base body three fixed at the telescopic end of the cylinder two, and a pneumatic gripper one fixed at the base body three. The frame is fixed with a second backing plate, which faces the power head device. The frame is equipped with a gripper cylinder, and the two gripper ends of the gripper cylinder are respectively fixed with gripping blocks. The distance between the first pneumatic gripper and the second pneumatic gripper is set such that when the first pneumatic gripper clamps the ball rod of the feeding channel, the second pneumatic gripper clamps the ball rod after the chamfering is completed.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement of pneumatic grippers one and two on the vertical plane is achieved through the action of the linear module and cylinder one. When pneumatic gripper one clamps the ball rod on the feeding channel, pneumatic gripper two clamps the ball rod that has been chamfered. Then, pneumatic gripper one moves the ball rod to be chamfered to the processing position, and pneumatic gripper two removes the chamfered ball rod from the equipment to complete the unloading. The function of cylinder two is to drive the ball rod to move axially, so that the ball head end of the ball rod abuts against the backing plate two, and then the clamping block clamps the ball rod, thereby accurately positioning the ball rod before chamfering. The processing head of the power head device moves towards the end of the ball rod, and the rotating chamfering cutter chamfers the end of the rod.

[0008] Optionally, both pneumatic gripper one and pneumatic gripper two have V-shaped grooves on the inner side of their gripper ends.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability can be improved when the cue stick is clamped by the V-groove, and it can automatically correct deviation to form accurate positioning.

[0010] Optionally, the frame is fixed with a backing plate, which is located at the end of the feeding channel. The feeding channel is fixed with a pusher cylinder, which is directly opposite the backing plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the ball rod after being loaded is pushed to a position on the back plate by the pusher cylinder, thereby positioning the ball rod.

[0012] Optionally, a pressure sensor is fixedly mounted on the back plate, and an abutment is slidably connected to the back plate. One end of the abutment is used to contact the end of the cue stick, and the other end of the abutment is used to press the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, after the pusher cylinder pushes the ball rod to the position, the abutment part presses down on the pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor generates a signal that the ball rod has reached the position. This signal is sent to the controller as a prerequisite for subsequent movement of the ball rod, thereby improving the reliability of automated operation.

[0014] Optionally, the end of the feeding channel near the backing plate is provided with a clearance groove for the ball head to enter.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after the cue stick is moved into place, the ball head enters the clearance groove. At this time, the cue stick body directly contacts the inner wall of the feeding channel, thereby forming accurate positioning, which facilitates the subsequent clamping of the cue stick.

[0016] Optionally, the frame is fixed with an inclined guide plate, the feeding channel is connected to the lower end of the guide plate, and the feeding channel and the guide plate are provided with a clearance groove for avoiding the pneumatic gripper.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide plate is used as the starting point for feeding the cue stick. After the cue stick is fed into the guide plate in any way, it will automatically slide onto the feeding channel.

[0018] Optionally, the frame is fixed with several support seats, which are located between the back plate and the power head device.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the support base is used to support the cue stick in the chamfer, thereby improving stability.

[0020] Optionally, the frame is fixed with a guide seat, and the clamping block is slidably connected to the guide seat.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the clamping block sliding is improved by the guide seat, avoiding the clamping block from shifting and improving the fixing effect of the clamping block after holding the club.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. This chamfering machine can automatically chamfer the ball head, avoiding the adverse effects of the ball head on workpiece transfer and processing; 2. By using pneumatic gripper one and pneumatic gripper two, when the ball rod at the loading channel moves to the chamfering station, the chamfered ball rod is simultaneously discharged, which greatly improves work efficiency; 3. By setting cylinder two, before chamfering, the ball head end of the cue stick abuts against plate two, and then the clamping block clamps the cue stick, forming accurate positioning and improving operational stability.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment discloses an automatic chamfering machine for golf clubs, including a frame 1 and a power head device 5 that can extend and rotate. The power head device 5 is prior art. A chamfering blade 51 is fixed on the blade holder of the power head device 5. The frame 1 is fixed with a feeding channel 2, which is used to place the golf club to be chamfered. The top surface of the frame 1 is a worktable.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The frame 1 is fixed with a backing plate 21, which is located at the end of the feeding channel 2. A pusher cylinder 22 is fixed to the feeding channel 2, directly opposite the backing plate 21. The pusher cylinder 22 pushes the fed rod to the backing plate 21, thus axially positioning the rod. A pressure sensor 23 is fixed to the backing plate 21, and a contact member 24 is slidably connected to it. One end of the contact member 24 contacts the end of the rod, and the other end presses the pressure sensor 23. The pressure sensor 23 is electrically connected to the controller. After the pusher cylinder 22 pushes the rod into position, the contact member 24 presses the pressure sensor 23, generating a signal indicating that the rod is in position. This signal is sent to the controller as a prerequisite for subsequent rod movement, improving the reliability of the automated operation.

[0028] The frame 1 is fixed with a second backing plate 4, which faces the power head device 5. During chamfering, the second backing plate 4 provides support to the other end of the cue stick. The frame 1 is equipped with a gripper cylinder 41, with gripping blocks 42 fixed to the two gripper ends of the gripper cylinder 41. The gripping blocks 42 are used to clamp and fix the cue stick, preventing it from moving during chamfering. The frame 1 is fixed with several support seats 43, located between the second backing plate 4 and the power head device 5. The support seats 43 are used to support the cue stick during chamfering. The frame 1 is fixed with a guide seat 44, and the gripping blocks 42 are slidably connected to the guide seat 44. The guide seat 44 improves the stability of the sliding of the gripping blocks 42, preventing them from shifting and improving the fixing effect of the gripping blocks 42 after holding the cue stick.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The frame 1 is fixed with a horizontally arranged linear module 3, which is located above the worktable. The movable end of the linear module 3 is fixed with a base 31, and the base 31 is fixed with a vertically arranged cylinder 32. The base 31 is vertically arranged, and the cylinder 32 is located at the bottom of the base 31. The movable end of the cylinder 32 is fixed with a base 33, and the base 33 is fixed with a cylinder 34 and a pneumatic gripper 35. The base 33 is horizontally arranged, and the cylinder 34 and the pneumatic gripper 35 are located at opposite ends of the base 33. The cylinder 34 is closer to the feed channel 2, and the pneumatic gripper 35 is closer to the power head device 5.

[0030] The extension and retraction direction of cylinder 2 34 is parallel to that of power head device 5. A seat 3 36 is fixed to the extension and retraction end of cylinder 2 34, and a pneumatic gripper 37 is fixed to the seat 3 36. Both pneumatic gripper 37 and pneumatic gripper 2 35 have V-grooves 38 on their inner sides. When gripping the cue stick through the V-grooves 38, stability is improved, and automatic correction is achieved, resulting in accurate positioning. The function of cylinder 2 34 is to drive the cue stick axially, causing the ball head end of the cue stick to abut against the backing plate 2 4, which in turn clamps the cue stick with the clamping block 42, thus accurately positioning the cue stick before chamfering.

[0031] Pneumatic gripper 37 and pneumatic gripper 35 are located at the same height. The spacing between pneumatic grippers 37 and 35 is set such that when pneumatic gripper 37 grips the ball rod on the feed channel 2, pneumatic gripper 35 grips the ball rod that has been chamfered (i.e., the ball rod on the support base 43). With this setting, when the ball rod at the feed channel 2 moves to the chamfering station, the chamfered ball rod is simultaneously discharged, significantly improving efficiency. A box is placed next to the frame 1, and pneumatic gripper 35 lowers the chamfered ball rod, which falls into the box for collection.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 The feeding channel 2 has a clearance groove 25 at the end near the backing plate 21 for the ball head to enter. After the ball is moved into position, the ball head enters the clearance groove 25, and the rod body makes direct contact with the inner wall of the feeding channel 2, thus forming accurate positioning and facilitating subsequent clamping of the ball. The frame 1 is fixed with an inclined guide plate 26, and the feeding channel 2 is connected to the lower end of the guide plate 26. The feeding channel 2 and the guide plate 26 are provided with clearance grooves 27 for avoiding the pneumatic gripper 37. The guide plate 26 serves as the starting point for feeding the ball. After the ball is fed onto the guide plate 26 in any way, the ball automatically slides onto the feeding channel 2.

[0033] The implementation principle of an automatic chamfering machine for golf clubs according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: After a golf club is fed onto the feed plate 26 in any manner, the club automatically slides onto the feed channel 2. The feed cylinder 22 pushes the fed club to the backing plate 21 for positioning, and then the feed cylinder 22 shortens and resets. After the pressure sensor 23 generates a signal, the controller starts the subsequent process of moving the golf club.

[0034] The linear module 3 and cylinder 32 move pneumatic grippers 37 and 35 in the vertical plane. When gripper 37 clamps the ball on the feed channel 2, gripper 35 clamps the chamfered ball (i.e., the ball on support 43). Then, gripper 37 moves the ball to be chamfered to the processing position (i.e., on support 43), and gripper 35 moves the chamfered ball onto the box, then lowers the ball to complete the unloading. The actions of the linear module 3 and each cylinder are pre-programmed and follow the set sequence; therefore, they will not be elaborated here.

[0035] Before processing, cylinder 34 drives the cue stick to move axially, so that the ball head end of the cue stick abuts against plate 4. Then, chuck cylinder 41 drives chuck block 42 to clamp the cue stick, thereby accurately positioning the cue stick before chamfering. Then, the processing head of the power head device 5 moves towards the end of the cue stick, and the rotating chamfering cutter 51 chamfers the end of the cue stick.

[0036] In summary, this chamfering machine can automatically chamfer the ball head, avoiding the adverse effects of the ball head on the workpiece transfer and processing. Furthermore, through pneumatic grippers 37 and 35, when the ball head at the feeding channel 2 moves to the chamfering station, the chamfered ball head is simultaneously discharged, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
