Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polishing production line technology, and in particular to an automated metal polishing production line based on vision recognition. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of metal workpieces, the grinding process is a crucial step in ensuring product quality. Traditional manual grinding methods are not only inefficient and complex to program, but also struggle to guarantee consistent grinding quality. Furthermore, they are labor-intensive and operate in harsh environments. While some semi-automated grinding equipment has been gradually adopted with technological advancements, existing equipment still falls short in meeting the specific needs of metal workpiece grinding. For example, it cannot adequately meet the actual requirements of metal workpiece grinding in terms of grinding efficiency, stability, continuity, safety, range of motion, adaptability to different grinding methods, and dust removal, especially for complex curved surfaces where path planning is difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an automated metal polishing production line based on visual recognition.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automated metal grinding production line based on vision recognition includes a grinding component, a vision component, a dust prevention component, a moving component, and peripheral components. The grinding component includes a robotic arm, a grinding head, and an automatic grinding disc changing device. The dust prevention component includes a dust prevention device, a dust extraction device, and a dust collection device. The peripheral components include a control room and a fence. The vision component is mounted on the robotic arm via a floating base and is used to acquire images of the workpiece surface in real time. The dust prevention device can move synchronously with the robotic arm to the work area.

[0005] Furthermore, the robotic arm is mounted on the moving assembly via a platform to drive the grinding head to perform high-precision grinding operations; the grinding head is mounted on a floating base via a floating spindle and equipped with a floating assembly to adapt to the surface contour of the workpiece; the automatic grinding disc changing device is located in the rear area of ​​the moving assembly for quick grinding disc replacement; the dust collection device is mounted around the outside of the grinding head for real-time collection of local dust; the dust extraction device is mounted on the dustproof device; the moving assembly is a ground rail structure for supporting the robotic arm to move along the length of the workpiece; the control room is independently located outside the enclosure.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The dust collection device in the dustproof assembly can collect local dust generated near the grinding head in real time, effectively reducing the spread of dust in the work area. The dust collection device is installed on the dustproof device that can move synchronously with the robotic arm to the work area, and can promptly remove dust from the work area. Working in conjunction with the dust collection device, it greatly improves the working environment, solves the shortcomings of existing technologies in dust removal, and protects the health of operators.

[0007] 2. The automatic grinding disc changing device eliminates the need for prolonged interruptions in the grinding process while waiting for manual disc replacement, greatly ensuring the continuity of grinding operations and avoiding the adverse effects of frequent interruptions on workpiece quality. This effectively improves overall production efficiency and product quality. The moving component features a ground-rail structure, enabling the robotic arm to move along the length of the workpiece. This allows the grinding operation to quickly cover different positions on the workpiece, further enhancing grinding efficiency and solving the problem of low grinding efficiency in existing technologies.

[0008] 3. The design of the grinding head of this utility model allows the grinding head to better adapt to the surface contour of the workpiece. Regardless of whether the workpiece surface is regular or complex curved, it can maintain stable and precise grinding contact, thereby ensuring the consistency of grinding quality. This overcomes the shortcomings of traditional grinding methods, which are difficult to guarantee the consistency of grinding quality and the difficulty in path planning for complex curved workpieces.

[0009] 4. The vision component can acquire images of the workpiece surface in real time. Based on this image information, the grinding parameters and path can be adjusted in real time, enabling the grinding production line to flexibly adapt to the grinding needs of metal workpieces with different shapes, sizes and surface features. Whether it is a simple flat surface or a complex curved surface workpiece, it can achieve efficient and precise grinding, solving the problem of poor adaptability of existing grinding methods.

[0010] 5. The surrounding components are fenced off to isolate the grinding work area from the outside, preventing personnel from accidentally entering the work area and avoiding safety accidents caused by personnel coming into contact with the operating grinding equipment, thus providing a safe working environment for operators. The control room is independently located outside the fence, allowing operators to monitor and operate the equipment from a safe area, further ensuring the personal safety of operators.

When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have an intervening component present.

[0016] It should also be noted that the directional terms such as left, right, up, and down in the embodiments of this utility model are only relative concepts or are based on the normal use state of the product, and should not be considered as restrictive.

[0017] This utility model provides an automated metal polishing production line based on vision recognition, referring to... Figure 1-2 The system includes a grinding component 1, a vision component 2, a dustproof component 3, a moving component 4, and a peripheral component 5. The grinding component 1 includes a robotic arm 11, a grinding head 12, and an automatic grinding disc changing device 13. The dustproof component 3 includes a dustproof device 31, a dust extraction device 32, and a dust collection device 33. The peripheral component 5 includes a control room 51 and a fence 52. The vision component 2 is mounted on the robotic arm 11 via a floating base and is used to acquire images of the workpiece surface in real time, automatically identify the shape of the workpiece, and generate a grinding path without the need for manual programming intervention. The dustproof device 31 can move synchronously with the robotic arm 11 to the work area and work with the dust extraction device 33 and the dust collection device 32 to achieve efficient dust removal.

[0018] In this embodiment, the robotic arm 11 is mounted on the moving component 4 via a platform to drive the grinding head 12 to perform high-precision grinding operations. The grinding head 12 is mounted on a floating base via a floating spindle, using an electric drive method, supporting downward pressure adjustment, and equipped with a floating component to adapt to the surface contour of the workpiece, improving grinding uniformity and efficiency. The automatic grinding disc changing device 13 is located in the rear area of ​​the moving component 4 for quickly changing grinding discs, ensuring the continuity of the grinding process. The dust collection device 33 is installed around the outside of the grinding head 12 for real-time collection of local dust. The dust extraction device 32 is installed on the dustproof device 31 to achieve overall dust removal. The moving component 4 is a ground rail structure used to support the robotic arm 11 to move along the length of the workpiece, ensuring the stability of the grinding process. The control room 51 is independently located outside the enclosure 52, with a centralized electrical cabinet and central control equipment to ensure operational safety and system integration management.

[0019] In use, after the metal workpiece is placed in the work area, the moving component drives the robotic arm to move to the work area. The vision component captures the surface of the metal workpiece, generates its shape, and plans the grinding path. Grinding begins, and a dust extraction device is activated in real time to remove dust generated during the grinding process, preventing dust pollution. When the robotic arm moves to the work area, the dustproof device also moves to the work area, lowers the roller shutter, and works in conjunction with the dust extraction device to achieve efficient dust removal. When the grinding disc wear reaches a set threshold, to ensure grinding quality, the robotic arm pauses its current operation and moves to the automatic grinding disc changing device station to remove the old grinding disc and clamp the new one. After the metal workpiece in this work area is ground, it moves to the next work area. The above operation is repeated until all grinding tasks are completed.

[0020] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model.
