Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of caliper piston processing technology, specifically to a blanking mechanism for automotive piston processing. Background Technology

[0002] The piston structure used in automotive brake calipers is typically machined using a robotic arm to load and unload the piston within the machining center during the finishing stage. Currently, the most common robotic arm setup is a suspended type, which, combined with a material changing fixture, completes the material changing process for the caliper piston on the machining center fixture.

[0003] During the finishing stage, the caliper piston needs to be rounded and smoothed, and its interior needs to be cut with grooves. After finishing, some metal debris remains inside the caliper piston. During the process of removing the workpiece from the machining center, the cutting fluid and metal debris remaining on the surface of the caliper piston will fall onto the outside of the machining center or the tool tip, increasing the burden of subsequent maintenance work.

[0004] The inventors proposed a material unloading mechanism for automotive piston processing. By setting a movable collection box below the pneumatic chuck used for workpiece clamping, foreign objects that fall off during the process of the workpiece moving out of the machining center are collected, which avoids dirt on the outer casing of the machining center and reduces the burden of later maintenance of the equipment.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a blanking mechanism for processing automotive pistons, comprising the following structure: The three-coordinate linear module has a mounting bracket fixed at the final execution end of the three-coordinate linear module. A deflection bracket is provided at the bottom of the mounting bracket, and pneumatic chucks can be detachably connected to adjacent right-angle surfaces of the deflection bracket.

[0007] A lifting cylinder is provided with a lifting rod fixed at its bottom output end. A sliding rod is slidably connected to the bottom of the lifting rod, and a collection box is provided at the end of the sliding rod facing the pneumatic chuck.

[0008] Furthermore, a motor frame is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting bracket, and a deflection motor is fixedly mounted on the front side of the bottom of the motor frame. The front output end of the deflection motor is fixedly connected to the rear side of the deflection bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, an adjusting rod is movably connected to the rear side of the motor frame, and a first mating hole is provided in the middle of the adjusting rod. The bottom of the adjusting rod is movably connected to the rear end of the sliding rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting rod has a second docking hole in the middle that matches the first docking hole, and a sliding pin is slidably connected in the second docking hole of the lifting rod, with the middle part of the sliding pin slidingly engaging with the inner wall of the first docking hole.

[0011] Furthermore, a bowl holder is fixed to the end of the slide bar facing the collection box, and the middle part of the bowl holder is detachably connected to the outside of the collection box.

[0012] Furthermore, the top opening of the collection box faces downwards from the pneumatic chuck.

[0013] 3. Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages: This utility model provides a feeding mechanism for automotive piston machining. The lifting cylinder changes the working height of the lifting rod. The lifting rod is assembled with the adjusting rod through a sliding pin. During the downward movement of the lifting rod, the adjusting rod is deflected downward through the connection between the sliding rod and the adjusting rod, and the sliding rod is pushed forward, so that the collection box extends to the bottom of the pneumatic chuck. At this time, the collection box can collect the cutting fluid and metal chips remaining from the machining of the caliper piston, preventing foreign objects from falling and contaminating the equipment housing of the machining center when the caliper piston is removed from the machining center, and reducing the burden of maintenance and cleaning work in the later stage of the equipment.

[0019] See attached document Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a blanking mechanism for automotive piston processing, comprising the following structure: The three-coordinate linear module 1 has a mounting bracket 2 fixed at the final execution end of the three-coordinate linear module 1. A deflection bracket 4 is provided at the bottom of the mounting bracket 2. Pneumatic chucks 41 can be detachably connected to adjacent right-angle surfaces of the deflection bracket 4.

[0020] The lifting cylinder 5 has a lifting rod 6 fixedly installed at its bottom output end. The bottom of the lifting rod 6 is slidably connected to a slide rod 7. A collection box 8 is provided at the end of the slide rod 7 facing the pneumatic chuck 41.

[0021] In this embodiment, a motor frame 3 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 2, and a deflection motor 31 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the bottom of the motor frame 3. The front output end of the deflection motor 31 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the deflection frame 4.

[0022] The three-axis linear module 1 adjusts the working position of the mounting frame 2 and its configured pneumatic chuck 41, enabling the pneumatic chuck 41 to move within the machining center and the workpiece placement area of ​​the caliper piston. The deflection motor 31 and the deflection frame 4 work together to deflect the two pneumatic chucks 41 under the drive of the deflection frame 4, facilitating the changing of the caliper piston within the machining center.

[0023] In this embodiment, an adjusting rod 32 is movably connected to the rear side of the motor frame 3. A first docking hole 33 is provided in the middle of the adjusting rod 32. The bottom of the adjusting rod 32 is movably connected to the rear end of the slide rod 7. A second docking hole 61 that matches the first docking hole 33 is provided in the middle of the lifting rod 6. A sliding pin 62 is slidably connected in the second docking hole 61 of the lifting rod 6. The middle part of the sliding pin 62 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the first docking hole 33. A bowl support 71 is fixedly provided at the end of the slide rod 7 facing the collection box 8. The middle part of the bowl support 71 is detachably connected to the outer side of the collection box 8.

[0024] The lifting cylinder 5 changes the working height of the lifting rod 6. The lifting rod 6 is assembled with the adjusting rod 32 through the sliding pin 62. During the downward movement of the lifting rod 6, the adjusting rod 32 is deflected downward through the connection between the sliding rod 7 and the adjusting rod 32, and the sliding rod 7 is pushed forward, so that the collection box 8 extends to the bottom of the pneumatic chuck 41. At this time, the collection box 8 can collect the cutting fluid and metal chips remaining from the caliper piston during machining, and prevent foreign objects from falling and contaminating the equipment housing of the machining center when the caliper piston is removed from the machining center.

[0025] It should be noted that when this equipment is used to change caliper pistons, pick up new piston calipers, and stack processed piston calipers on the chuck of the machining center, the collection box 8 needs to be retracted by the lifting cylinder 5 to avoid the collection box 8 interfering with the gripping operation of the pneumatic chuck 41.

[0026] In this embodiment, the top opening of the collection box 8 faces downwards from the pneumatic chuck 41.

[0027] The detachable connection of the collection box 8 to the bowl holder 71 makes it convenient for workers to clean and maintain the collection box 8.
