Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shell processing technology, specifically to a shell deburring machine. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of battery casings typically involves a series of steps, including blanking, cupping, and edge trimming. Among these, edge trimming is the primary stage where burrs are generated. As batteries are products with extremely high safety requirements, burrs generated during casing trimming, if they fall into the casing, could potentially damage the internal structure of the battery, causing serious safety issues such as short circuits. Therefore, removing burrs from battery casings is a crucial step in the battery casing production process.

[0003] Currently, manual deburring is the most common method for deburring the openings of battery casings. However, with the rapid development of the battery industry, battery production is increasing daily, and production speed is constantly accelerating, the drawbacks of manual deburring are becoming increasingly apparent. On the one hand, manual operation is slow, making the deburring process a bottleneck in the entire production process and severely restricting the improvement of battery casing production efficiency. On the other hand, workers are prone to fatigue from prolonged high-intensity deburring work. Not only is the labor intensity high, but the differences in operating techniques and skill levels among different workers also make it difficult to maintain stable and consistent deburring quality, making it difficult to meet the large-scale, high-quality production needs of battery casings.

[0004] Therefore, how to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology mentioned above has become the subject of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shell deburring machine.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A shell deburring machine includes a support extending along a first direction and a conveying assembly, a decontamination assembly, a deburring assembly, and a handling assembly all mounted on the support.

[0008] The conveying assembly serves as a mechanism for conveying the housing along the first direction;

[0009] The decontamination assembly includes a decontamination element at least partially disposed above the conveying assembly, the decontamination element being used at least to remove impurities from the top surface of the housing;

[0010] The deburring assembly is located downstream of the conveying assembly and serves as a mechanism for removing burrs from the chamfer of the outer wall of the housing opening.

[0011] The decontamination component and the deburring component are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying component;

[0012] The transport assembly includes a first drive member and a transport member. The first drive member is capable of reciprocating the transport member along the first direction and vertically to transfer the housing from the conveying assembly to the deburring assembly.

[0013] The casing in this application is described as a battery casing, but is not limited thereto.

[0014] It should be noted that the structural support is a standard feature. Even if the support components are not mentioned, it should be known that the corresponding structure needs to be supported. The support components may include several support structures, and there are no specific restrictions.

[0015] The housing is conveyed by a conveying assembly that transports the housing along the extension direction of the support to accommodate the structural layout of the support.

[0016] The conveying assembly can transport the housing to the decontamination area; then, the decontamination component in the decontamination assembly removes at least the impurities from the top surface of the housing, facilitating the transfer component in the subsequent handling assembly to transfer the housing by means of vacuum suction, etc., and also reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the housing and increasing the subsequent cleaning speed of the housing; next, the handling assembly transfers the housing from the conveying assembly to the deburring assembly to achieve deburring treatment. By replacing the conveying assembly with the handling assembly to transfer the housing, it can adapt to the specific structure of the deburring assembly and can also cooperate with the deburring assembly to achieve deburring treatment.

[0017] The cleaning and deburring components are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying component, so that the housing only needs to be transferred along the first direction in the horizontal direction, reducing the difficulty of transferring the housing and thus avoiding the need for a more complex transfer device.

[0018] In summary, the casing deburring machine of this application automates the casing deburring process, improves the production efficiency of battery casings, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and achieves stable and consistent deburring quality, meeting the needs of large-scale, high-quality production.

[0019] In a further technical solution, the conveying component includes:

[0020] The conveying component is fixedly mounted on the supporting component;

[0021] A positioning element is fixedly disposed at the output end of the conveying element and is used to position the housing in the horizontal direction;

[0022] The conveying component is capable of driving the positioning component to reciprocate along the first direction.

[0023] The conveying component can be an existing electric slide or a similar structure, and there are no specific limitations.

[0024] The positioning element is used to position the housing. For example, the positioning element is a positioning platform, which has a positioning groove or positioning protrusion corresponding to the housing. The specific structure of the positioning element is not limited and can be adjusted according to the structure of the housing to achieve the positioning purpose.

[0025] The conveying component can drive the positioning component to reciprocate along the first direction, so that the housing can gradually move along the first direction to the decontamination area. After that, the housing can stably receive the decontamination treatment because it is positioned by the positioning component.

[0026] Preferably, two positioning elements are provided, or a single positioning element can position two housings to meet the requirement of simultaneously processing two housings and thus improving housing processing efficiency. For example, a single positioning element is provided with two positioning grooves or two positioning protrusions, and the two positioning grooves or two positioning protrusions are arranged side by side in the width direction of the conveyor.

[0027] In a further technical solution, the decontamination component includes:

[0028] The first support base is fixedly disposed on the support member and has at least one channel for the housing to pass through;

[0029] At least one decontamination section is provided for removing impurities from the top surface of the housing, and the decontamination section is provided above each of the channels;

[0030] At least one left cleaning section and at least one right cleaning section are provided for removing impurities from the side wall surface of the housing portion, and each of the channels is provided with the left cleaning section and the right cleaning section on both sides along its own width direction;

[0031] The decontamination part, the left decontamination part, and the right decontamination part constitute the decontamination component.

[0032] The specific arrangement of the channels can be adjusted according to actual needs and the housing structure. For example, two channels can be set up side by side in the width direction of the conveyor to allow two housings to pass through simultaneously. The dimensions of the channels can be adapted to the dimensions of the housings.

[0033] The above examples illustrate the cleaning process. The left and right cleaning sections are explained here as well: The cleaning section can remove impurities from the top surface of the housing by scraping. For example, the cleaning section can use a silicone scraper, silicone sheet, or similar structure; the size of the cleaning section can be adjusted according to the size of the housing; the length of the cleaning section can be the same as the width of the channel; the cleaning section can be installed on the first support base.

[0034] By setting up the left and right cleaning sections, impurities on some surfaces (left and right surfaces) of the outer walls of the shell can be removed, reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning and increasing the speed of subsequent cleaning.

[0035] The decontamination section removes impurities (such as drawing oil, emulsion, and aluminum shavings) from the top surface of the housing, further reducing the difficulty and speed of subsequent cleaning. Furthermore, when the handling assembly uses a suction method to hold the housing in place, the removal of impurities by the decontamination section ensures the stability of the housing during handling, reducing the risk of the housing falling during transfer.

[0036] A further technical solution is that the deburring component includes:

[0037] The second support is fixedly mounted on the support member;

[0038] At least one floating component fixedly mounted on the second support base includes a floating platform capable of vertical movement and used to support the housing;

[0039] Multiple deburring components fixedly mounted on the second support base are used to remove burrs from the chamfered corner of the outer wall of the housing opening.

[0040] Each of the floating components has multiple deburring components on its periphery.

[0041] Here, we will use a square shell as an example. In this case, each floating component has four deburring parts on its periphery to remove burrs from the four chamfered corners of the outer wall of the shell. For details, please refer to the distribution of the deburring parts in the attached figure.

[0042] The housing can be transferred from the positioning component to the floating platform by the transport component. The floating platform moves vertically to drive the housing to move vertically. During this process, the housing contacts multiple deburring components in the circumferential direction, thereby achieving deburring through repeated friction. This method is simple, convenient, and the structure is reliable in operation.

[0043] There can be two or more floating stages, thereby improving the efficiency of shell processing.

[0044] There are no restrictions on the size comparison between the floating platform and the shell, as long as the above objectives are met.

[0045] The floating platform can also be equipped with grooves or protrusions to position the shell.

[0046] In a further technical solution, the floating component includes:

[0047] The third support is located above the second support;

[0048] A positioning seat, located above the third support seat, is vertically movable relative to the third support seat and is used to position the housing; the positioning seat constitutes the floating platform;

[0049] The first reset part acts on the positioning seat and is used to drive the positioning seat to rise and reset after the positioning seat moves down.

[0050] A first limiting part, connected to the positioning seat and extending at least through the third support seat, is used to limit the upward movement range of the positioning seat by abutting against the bottom surface of the third support seat or the bottom surface of the second support seat.

[0051] The third support can be spaced above the second support, and can be implemented through a support structure such as a support rod, which is not limited to this. In this case, there is a space for movement between the second and third support to allow for the movement of nuts and other components. Alternatively, the aforementioned space can be formed between the second support (which may be part of it) and the support member.

[0052] The description of the positioning seat is the same as that of the floating platform described above.

[0053] One end of the first reset part acts on the positioning seat, and the other end can act on the third support seat or the second support seat. Reset can be achieved by a spring. This is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0054] The first limiting part can be a combination of a rod-shaped structure and a nut. The rod-shaped structure is connected to the positioning seat and passes through the third support seat (it can also pass through the second support seat). The nut is fitted on the end of the rod-shaped structure away from the positioning seat, and the nut abuts against the bottom surface of the third support seat or the bottom surface of the second support seat to limit the positioning seat from rising further. By adjusting the position of the nut on the rod-shaped structure, the rising range of the positioning seat can be adjusted.

[0055] This application clarifies the way in which the floating component can float and limits the floating platform to ensure that the shell can be deburred through repeated friction.

[0056] Preferably, a guide shaft is connected to the third support, and a guide hole is provided on the second support corresponding to the guide shaft. The guide configuration will not be described in detail here, but its purpose is to ensure that the third support is installed in the predetermined position. Alternatively, the guide shaft can be provided on the positioning seat, in which case the guide shaft can pass through both the second and third support seats.

[0057] In some embodiments, the second support base is spaced apart from the support member. In this case, the third support base can be attached to the second support base, or the third support base can be removed. In this case, the nut abuts against the bottom surface of the second support base to limit the positioning base from continuing to rise.

[0058] A further technical solution is provided, wherein the deburred part includes:

[0059] The fourth support is fixedly mounted on the second support.

[0060] The friction part is slidably disposed on the fourth support base and has a friction surface for abutting against the housing;

[0061] The second reset part acts on the friction part and is used to drive the friction part to reset after the housing pushes the friction part.

[0062] The second limiting part acts on the friction part to limit the horizontal movement range of the friction part.

[0063] The fourth support can raise the friction part, so that each area of ​​the friction surface distributed vertically can rub against the shell, thus improving the utilization rate of the friction surface.

[0064] The second reset part can reset the friction part by means of a spring reset. Similarly, the spring reset itself is a conventional method and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] Preferably, the fourth support base may include a horizontal base and a vertical base connected together, with the horizontal base connected to the second support base. A friction part is slidably disposed on the horizontal base. The two ends of the second reset part are respectively connected to the friction part and the vertical base. Each part of the second limiting part is disposed on both sides of the vertical base along its width direction; one part abuts against the vertical base to restrict the continued movement of the other part, and the other part can be connected to the friction part to limit the horizontal movement range of the friction part.

[0066] The second reset part ensures that the friction part can repeatedly rub against the housing, and also allows the friction surface to be in close contact with the housing, thereby ensuring the friction deburring effect.

[0067] The second limiting part prevents the friction part from crossing the predetermined area during the reset process, thus hindering the downward movement of the housing, and also ensures that the friction part can repeatedly rub against the housing.

[0068] The material of the friction part is not limited here, as long as it meets the purpose of friction and deburring.

[0069] In a further technical solution, the friction surface is inclined downwards;

[0070] And / or, the surface of the friction part is recessed to form a recess, and at least a portion of the wall of the recess constitutes the friction surface.

[0071] The friction surface is tilted downwards, which makes it easier for the housing to push the friction surface to move horizontally during the downward movement. During this period, the friction surface is kept in close contact with the housing by the action of the second reset part to ensure the deburring effect through friction.

[0072] The inclination angle of the friction surface is not restricted here.

[0073] The concave surface of the friction part forms a concave portion, making the friction surface curved. This allows it to wrap around the chamfer of the outer wall of the housing opening, achieving surface-to-surface contact friction, increasing the friction area, and further ensuring the deburring effect.

[0074] A further technical solution also includes a flattening component, which includes at least one roller assembly, the roller assembly including multiple flattening rollers that can rotate around their own axis; the flattening rollers are disposed along the first direction on the side of the decontamination component away from the deburring component; the flattening rollers are used to flatten the top surface of the housing.

[0075] The flattening component may include a support structure, which may be installed on a first support base, and the flattening rollers are rotatably mounted on the support structure.

[0076] The flattening component is used to level the top surface of the housing, making the housing horizontal and facilitating subsequent processing.

[0077] Examples of the flattening component's application scenarios are as follows, but not limited to these: When the housing is flipped over by the clamping and reversing assembly, its opening will face downwards and be fastened to the positioning component. When the flipping speed is too fast, the opening of the housing near the cleaning component may not be able to fully contact the bottom of the positioning component, resulting in the front of the housing being raised. This causes the suction cup in the transport assembly to be unable to firmly hold the bottom of the housing during high-speed transport. Based on this, flattening rollers are set to flatten the bottom of the housing to facilitate the suction cup's grip. The roller assembly may include two flattening rollers (which may be polyurethane guide rollers) spaced apart along the length of the transport component. The flattening roller farther from the cleaning component is at a higher height than the flattening roller closer to the cleaning component to accommodate the housing's raised position.

[0078] The flattening component may include two roller sets, which are arranged side-by-side and spaced apart in the width direction of the conveyor. The roller sets may include two flattening rollers (which may be polyurethane guide rollers) spaced apart in the length direction of the conveyor. The flattening roller farther from the decontamination component is positioned at a higher height than the flattening roller closer to the decontamination component to accommodate the tilting of the housing and facilitate the gradual passage of the bottom of the housing from high to low.

[0079] Further technical solutions also include a clamping and reversing assembly for clamping the housing and reversing the housing so that the opening of the housing faces downward;

[0080] The clamping reversing assembly includes:

[0081] The fifth support is connected to the support member;

[0082] A rotating component, rotatably mounted on the fifth support base;

[0083] The second driving component is connected to the rotating component in a transmission manner;

[0084] The third driving component is connected to the rotating component;

[0085] The clamping member is connected to the third driving member and is used to clamp the housing.

[0086] The third driving component and the clamping component together form a clamping structure to hold and fix the housing. Existing electric clamping devices can be referenced, and will not be described in detail here. The clamping component can be a claw structure, and the third driving component can be a cylinder structure.

[0087] The second driving component can drive the rotating component to rotate. Initially, the opening of the housing faces upward, and after rotation, the opening of the housing faces downward, so as to facilitate subsequent deburring of the opening of the housing.

[0088] It should be noted that many existing shell processing techniques result in the shell opening facing upwards. This application, through the setting of the clamping and reversing assembly, can be connected with these processes, thereby improving the applicability of the shell deburring machine in this application.

[0089] Two clamping and reversing assemblies can be provided, and the two clamping and reversing assemblies are symmetrically arranged in the width direction of the conveyor to improve the processing efficiency of the housing.

[0090] A further technical solution also includes a cache component, which is located on the side of the deburring component away from the cleaning component;

[0091] The cache component includes a sixth support base, a fixing plate, and a fixture connected in sequence.

[0092] The sixth support can be connected to the support member.

[0093] The fixture can be referenced from the positioning component.

[0094] The cache component uses a fixture to fix the housing in place to temporarily store the housing.

[0095] The transfer assembly can transfer the housing from the positioning member to the positioning seat, and also from the positioning seat to the fixture. The transfer assembly can pick up and fix the housing using vacuum suction (existing) and then transfer it. When the housing is transferred to the positioning seat, the transfer assembly can press down on the housing to repeatedly rub it against the friction surface. The transfer assembly can achieve the movement of the housing in the vertical and horizontal directions by cooperating with a horizontal electric slide and a vertical electric slide (which together constitute the first drive member). The transfer assembly can have multiple suction ends (constituting transfer members) to simultaneously pick up two housings, and simultaneously transfer at least one housing from the positioning member to the positioning seat and at least one housing from the positioning seat to the fixture.

[0096] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in this article do not specifically refer to order or sequence, nor are they intended to limit this case; they are merely used to distinguish components or operations described using the same technical terms.

[0097] The terms "connection" or "positioning" as used in this article can refer to two or more components or devices making direct physical contact with each other, or making indirect physical contact with each other, or to two or more components or devices operating or moving with each other.

[0098] The terms “include,” “including,” and “have” used in this article are all open-ended, meaning they include but are not limited to.

[0099] Unless otherwise specified, the terms used herein generally have their ordinary meaning in the context of the art, the subject matter, and the specific context. Certain terms used to describe this case will be discussed below or elsewhere in this specification to provide additional guidance to those skilled in the art in describing this case.

In this case, they are only used to describe the positional relationship between the structures and are not intended to limit the specific direction of the protection scheme or its actual implementation.

[0101] The working principle and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0102] The housing is conveyed by a conveying assembly that transports the housing along the extension direction of the support to accommodate the structural layout of the support.

[0103] The conveying assembly can transport the housing to the decontamination area; then, the decontamination component in the decontamination assembly removes at least the impurities from the top surface of the housing, facilitating the transfer component in the subsequent handling assembly to transfer the housing by means of vacuum suction, etc., and also reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the housing and increasing the subsequent cleaning speed of the housing; next, the handling assembly transfers the housing from the conveying assembly to the deburring assembly to achieve deburring treatment. By replacing the conveying assembly with the handling assembly to transfer the housing, it can adapt to the specific structure of the deburring assembly and can also cooperate with the deburring assembly to achieve deburring treatment.

[0104] The cleaning and deburring components are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying component, so that the housing only needs to be transferred along the first direction in the horizontal direction, reducing the difficulty of transferring the housing and thus avoiding the need for a more complex transfer device.

[0105] In summary, the casing deburring machine of this application automates the casing deburring process, improves the production efficiency of battery casings, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and achieves stable and consistent deburring quality, thus meeting the needs of large-scale, high-quality casing production.

[0129] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0130] Example: The present invention will be clearly described below with illustrations and detailed description. Any person skilled in the art who understands the examples of the present invention can make changes and modifications based on the technology taught in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0135] The deburring assembly 4 is located downstream of the conveying assembly 2 and serves as a mechanism for removing burrs from the chamfer of the outer wall of the opening of the housing 100.

[0136] The decontamination component 3 and the deburring component 4 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying component 2;

[0137] The transport assembly 5 includes a first drive member 51 and a transport member 52. The first drive member 51 is capable of reciprocating the transport member 52 along the first direction and vertically to transfer the housing 100 from the conveying assembly 2 to the deburring assembly 4.

[0138] It should be noted that the structural support is a standard feature. Even if support component 1 is not mentioned, it should be known that the corresponding structure needs to be supported. Support component 1 may include several support structures, and there are no specific restrictions.

[0139] The housing 100 is conveyed by the conveying assembly 2, which conveys the housing 100 along the extension direction of the support member 1 to adapt to the structural layout of the support member 1.

[0140] The conveying assembly 2 can convey the housing 100 to the decontamination area; then, the decontamination component in the decontamination assembly 3 removes at least the impurities on the top surface of the housing 100, which facilitates the transfer component 52 in the subsequent handling assembly 5 to transfer the housing 100 by means of vacuum suction, etc., and also reduces the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the housing 100 and increases the subsequent cleaning speed of the housing 100; then, the handling assembly 5 transfers the housing 100 from the conveying assembly 2 to the deburring assembly 4 to achieve deburring treatment. By replacing the conveying assembly 2 with the handling assembly 5 to transfer the housing 100, it can adapt to the specific structure of the deburring assembly 4, and can also cooperate with the deburring assembly 4 to achieve deburring treatment.

[0141] The cleaning component 3 and the deburring component 4 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying component 2, so that the housing 100 only needs to be transferred along the first direction in the horizontal direction, reducing the difficulty of transferring the housing 100 and thus avoiding the need to use a more complex transfer device.

[0142] In summary, the deburring machine for the housing 100 in this embodiment automates the deburring process of the housing 100, improves the production efficiency of the battery housing, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and also achieves stable and consistent deburring quality, meeting the needs of large-scale, high-quality production.

[0143] See Figure 6In this embodiment, the conveying component 2 includes:

[0144] Conveying component 21 is fixedly mounted on the supporting component 1;

[0145] Positioning member 22 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the conveying member 21 and is used to position the housing 100 in the horizontal direction;

[0146] The conveying member 21 can drive the positioning member 22 to reciprocate along the first direction.

[0147] The conveyor 21 can be an existing electric slide or a similar structure, and there is no specific limitation.

[0148] The positioning element 22 is used to position the housing 100. For example, the positioning element 22 is a positioning platform, and the positioning platform is provided with a positioning groove or positioning protrusion corresponding to the housing 100. The specific structure of the positioning element 22 is not limited and can be adjusted according to the structure of the housing 100 to meet the positioning purpose.

[0149] The conveying member 21 can drive the positioning member 22 to reciprocate along the first direction, so that the housing 100 can gradually move along the first direction to the decontamination area. After that, the housing 100 can stably receive the decontamination treatment because it is positioned by the positioning member 22.

[0150] Preferably, two positioning elements 22 are provided, or a single positioning element 22 can position two housings 100 to meet the requirement of simultaneously processing two housings 100 and thus improving the processing efficiency of the housings 100. For example, a single positioning element 22 is provided with two positioning grooves or two positioning protrusions, and the two positioning grooves or two positioning protrusions are arranged side by side in the width direction of the conveyor 21.

[0151] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 In this embodiment, the stain removal component 3 includes:

[0152] The first support base 31 is fixedly disposed on the support member 1 and has at least one channel 311 for the housing 100 to pass through;

[0153] At least one decontamination part 32 is provided above each of the channels 311 for removing impurities from the top surface of the housing 100.

[0154] At least one left cleaning section 33 and at least one right cleaning section 34 are provided for removing impurities from part of the side wall surface of the housing 100. Each of the channels 311 is provided with the left cleaning section 33 and the right cleaning section 34 on both sides along its width direction.

[0155] The decontamination part 32, the left decontamination part 33, and the right decontamination part 34 constitute the decontamination component.

[0156] The specific configuration of the channel 311 can be adjusted according to actual needs and the structure of the housing 100. For example, there can be two channels 311, which are arranged side by side in the width direction of the conveyor 21 to allow two housings 100 to pass through simultaneously. The size of the channel 311 can be adapted to the size of the housing 100.

[0157] The above example of the cleaning part 32 is illustrated below. The left cleaning part 33 and the right cleaning part 34 are described here as well: The cleaning part 32 can scrape off impurities from the top surface of the housing 100 by scraping. For example, the cleaning part 32 can use a silicone scraper, silicone sheet or similar structure; the size of the cleaning part 32 can be adjusted according to the size of the housing 100; the length of the cleaning part 32 can be the same as the width of the channel 311; the cleaning part 32 can be installed on the first support base 31.

[0158] By setting up the left cleaning section 33 and the right cleaning section 34, impurities on some surfaces (left and right surfaces) of the outer walls of the housing 100 can be removed, reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning and increasing the speed of subsequent cleaning.

[0159] By incorporating the decontamination section 32, impurities (such as drawing oil, emulsion, and aluminum shavings) on the top surface of the housing 100 can be removed, further reducing the difficulty and speed of subsequent cleaning. Furthermore, when the transport assembly 5 uses a suction method to fix the housing 100, the removal of impurities by the decontamination section 32 ensures the stability of the transport assembly 5 in suctioning the housing 100, reducing the risk of the housing 100 falling during transfer.

[0160] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 In this embodiment, the deburring component 4 includes:

[0161] The second support base 41 is fixedly disposed on the support member 1;

[0162] At least one floating member 42 fixedly disposed on the second support base 41 includes a floating platform that can move vertically and is used to support the housing 100;

[0163] Multiple deburring parts 43 fixedly mounted on the second support 41 are used to remove burrs from the chamfer of the outer wall of the opening of the housing 100.

[0164] Each of the floating parts 42 is provided with a plurality of deburring parts 43 on its periphery.

[0165] Here, the shell 100 is described as a square. In this case, each floating part 42 is provided with four deburring parts 43 on its periphery to remove burrs at the four chamfers of the outer wall of the shell 100. For details, please refer to the distribution of the deburring parts 43 in the attached figure.

[0166] The housing 100 can be transferred from the positioning member 22 to the floating platform by the conveying assembly 5. The floating platform moves vertically to drive the housing 100 to move vertically. During this process, the housing 100 contacts multiple deburring parts 43 in the circumferential direction, thereby achieving deburring through repeated friction. This method is simple, convenient, and the structure is reliable in operation.

[0167] There can be two or more floating stages, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the housing 100.

[0168] There are no restrictions on the size comparison between the floating platform and the shell 100, as long as the above objectives are met.

[0169] The floating platform can also be equipped with a groove structure or a protrusion to position the shell 100.

[0170] See Figure 11 In this embodiment, the floating component 42 includes:

[0171] The third support 421 is disposed above the second support 41;

[0172] The positioning seat 422 is located above the third support seat 421 and can move vertically relative to the third support seat 421 to position the housing 100; the positioning seat 422 constitutes the floating platform;

[0173] The first reset part 423 acts on the positioning seat 422 and is used to drive the positioning seat 422 to rise and reset after the positioning seat 422 moves down.

[0174] The first limiting part 424 is connected to the positioning seat 422 and extends at least through the third support seat 421, and is used to limit the upward movement range of the positioning seat 422 by abutting against the bottom surface of the third support seat 421 or the bottom surface of the second support seat 41.

[0175] The third support 421 can be spaced above the second support 41, and can be implemented through a support structure such as a support rod, which is not limited to this. In this case, there is a movable space between the second support 41 and the third support 421 to allow the nuts and other components to move. Alternatively, the aforementioned movable space can be formed between the second support 41 (which may be a part) and the support member 1.

[0176] The description of the positioning seat 422 is the same as the description of the floating platform above.

[0177] One end of the first reset part 423 acts on the positioning seat 422, and the other end can act on the third support seat 421 or the second support seat 41. Reset can be achieved by a spring. This is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0178] The first limiting part 424 can be a combination of a rod-shaped structure and a nut. The rod-shaped structure is connected to the positioning seat 422 and passes through the third support seat 421 (it can also pass through the second support seat 41). The nut is fitted on the end of the rod-shaped structure away from the positioning seat 422, and the nut abuts against the bottom surface of the third support seat 421 or the bottom surface of the second support seat 41 to limit the positioning seat 422 from rising further. By adjusting the position of the nut on the rod-shaped structure, the rising range of the positioning seat 422 can be adjusted.

[0179] This embodiment clarifies the way in which the floating component 42 can float and limits the floating platform to ensure that the housing 100 can achieve deburring through repeated friction.

[0180] Preferably, a guide shaft 425 is connected to the third support 421, and a guide hole is provided on the second support 41 corresponding to the guide shaft 425. The guide setting will not be described in detail here, but its purpose is to ensure that the third support 421 is installed in the predetermined position. The guide shaft 425 can also be provided on the positioning seat 422. In this case, the guide shaft 425 can pass through the second support 41 and the third support 421.

[0181] In some embodiments, the second support base 41 is spaced apart from the support member 1. In this case, the third support base 421 can be attached to the second support base 41, or the third support base 421 can be removed. In this case, the nut abuts against the bottom surface of the second support base 41 to limit the positioning base 422 from continuing to rise.

[0182] See Figure 12 In this embodiment, the deburring component 43 includes:

[0183] The fourth support base 431 is fixedly mounted on the second support base 41;

[0184] Friction part 432 is slidably disposed on the fourth support base 431 and has a friction surface 4321 for abutting against the housing 100;

[0185] The second reset part 433 acts on the friction part 432 and is used to drive the friction part 432 to reset after the housing 100 pushes the friction part 432.

[0186] The second limiting part 434 acts on the friction part 432 to limit the horizontal movement range of the friction part 432.

[0187] The fourth support 431 can raise the friction part 432, so that each area of ​​the friction surface 4321 distributed vertically can rub against the shell 100, thereby improving the utilization rate of the friction surface 4321.

[0188] The second reset part 433 can reset the friction part 432 by means of spring reset. Similarly, spring reset itself is a conventional method and will not be described in detail here.

[0189] Preferably, the fourth support 431 may include a horizontal support 4311 and a vertical support 4312 connected together, with the horizontal support 4311 connected to the second support 41. A friction part 432 is slidably disposed on the horizontal support 4311. The two ends of the second reset part 433 are respectively connected to the friction part 432 and the vertical support 4312. The portions of the second limiting part 434 are respectively disposed on both sides of the vertical support 4312 along its width direction. One portion abuts against the vertical support 4312 to restrict the continued movement of the other portion, while the other portion can be connected to the friction part 432 to limit the horizontal movement range of the friction part 432.

[0190] The second reset part 433 ensures that the friction part 432 can repeatedly rub against the housing 100, and also allows the friction surface 4321 to be in close contact with the housing 100, thereby ensuring the friction deburring effect.

[0191] The second limiting part 434 prevents the friction part 432 from crossing the predetermined area during the reset process, thereby hindering the downward movement of the housing 100, and also ensures that the friction part 432 can repeatedly rub against the housing 100.

[0192] The material of the friction part 432 is not limited here, as long as it meets the purpose of friction deburring.

[0193] See Figure 12 In this embodiment, the friction surface 4321 is inclined downward;

[0194] And / or, the surface of the friction part 432 is recessed to form a recess, and at least a portion of the wall of the recess constitutes the friction surface 4321.

[0195] The friction surface 4321 is tilted downwards, which makes it easier for the housing 100 to push the friction surface 4321 to move horizontally during the downward movement. During this period, through the action of the second reset part 433, the friction surface 4321 is always in close contact with the housing 100 to ensure the deburring effect through friction.

[0196] The tilt angle of friction surface 4321 is not limited here.

[0197] The surface of the friction part 432 is concave to form a concave part, making the friction surface 4321 a curved surface, which can wrap around the chamfer of the outer wall of the housing 100, realize the contact friction between surfaces, increase the friction area, and further ensure the deburring effect.

[0198] See Figure 4 In this embodiment, a flattening component 200 is also included. The flattening component 200 includes at least one roller assembly 210. The roller assembly 210 includes a plurality of flattening rollers 211 that can rotate around their own axis. The flattening rollers 211 are disposed along the first direction on the side of the decontamination component 3 away from the deburring component 4. The flattening rollers 211 are used to flatten the top surface of the housing 100.

[0199] The flattening component 200 may include a support structure, which may be installed on the first support base 31, and the flattening roller 211 is rotatably mounted on the support structure.

[0200] The flattening component 200 is used to flatten the top surface of the housing 100, so that the housing 100 is set horizontally, which facilitates subsequent processing.

[0201] Examples of the use of the flattening component 200 are as follows, but not limited to these: When the housing 100 is flipped over by the clamping and reversing component 300, its opening will face downward and be fastened to the positioning component 22. When the flipping speed is too fast, the opening of the housing near the cleaning component 3 may not be able to fully contact the bottom of the positioning component 22, resulting in the front of the housing 100 being raised. This causes the suction cup in the transport component 5 to not be able to firmly hold the bottom of the housing 100 during high-speed transport. Based on this, flattening rollers 211 are set to flatten the bottom of the housing to facilitate the suction cup to hold it firmly. The roller group 210 may include two flattening rollers 211 (which may be polyurethane guide rollers) that are spaced apart in the length direction of the transport component 21. The flattening roller 211 that is farther away from the cleaning component 3 is at a higher height than the flattening roller 211 that is closer to the cleaning component 3 to accommodate the raised housing 100.

[0202] The flattening member 200 may include two roller sets 210, which are arranged side by side at intervals in the width direction of the conveyor 21.

[0203] See Figure 2 In this embodiment, a clamping and reversing assembly 300 is also included, which is used to clamp the housing 100 and reverse the orientation of the housing 100 so that the opening of the housing 100 faces downward.

[0204] The clamping reversing assembly 300 includes:

[0205] The fifth support 310 is connected to the support member 1;

[0206] Rotating component 320 is rotatably mounted on the fifth support base 310;

[0207] The second driving component 330 is connected to the rotating component 320 in a transmission manner;

[0208] The third driving component 340 is connected to the rotating component 320;

[0209] The clamping member 350 is connected to the third driving member 340 and is used to clamp the housing 100.

[0210] The position of the clamping commutation component 300 is shown in the attached figure.

[0211] The third drive member 340 and the clamping member 350 form a clamping structure to clamp and fix the housing 100. Existing electric clamping devices can be referenced, and will not be described in detail here. The clamping member 350 can be a claw structure, and the third drive member 340 can be a cylinder structure.

[0212] The second driving component 330 (which may be a motor structure) can drive the rotating component 320 to rotate. Initially, the opening of the housing 100 faces upward, and after rotation, the opening of the housing 100 faces downward, so as to facilitate subsequent deburring of the opening of the housing 100.

[0213] It should be noted that in many existing shell 100 processing technologies, the shell 100 is processed with its opening facing upwards. This embodiment can be connected with these processes by setting the clamping reversing component 300, thereby improving the applicability of the shell 100 deburring machine in this embodiment.

[0214] Two clamping and reversing assemblies 300 can be provided, and the two clamping and reversing assemblies 300 are symmetrically arranged in the width direction of the conveyor 21 to improve the processing efficiency of the housing 100.

[0215] The second driving component 330 may be fixedly connected to the fifth support base 310, and the rotating component 320 may be separately disposed from the fifth support base 310.

[0216] See Figure 10 In this embodiment, a cache component 400 is also included, which is disposed on the side of the deburring component 4 away from the cleaning component 3;

[0217] The cache component 400 includes a sixth support base 410, a fixing plate 420, and a fixture 430 connected in sequence.

[0218] The sixth support 410 can be connected to the support 1.

[0219] Fixture 430 can be referenced to positioning part 22.

[0220] The cache component 400 is fixed to the housing 100 by the fixture 430 to temporarily store the housing 100.

[0221] The transfer assembly 5 can transfer the housing 100 from the positioning member 22 to the positioning seat 422, and also transfer the housing 100 from the positioning seat 422 to the fixture 430. The transfer assembly 5 can pick up and fix the housing 100 using vacuum adsorption (existing) and then transfer it. When the housing 100 is transferred to the positioning seat 422, the transfer assembly 5 can press down on the housing 100 to repeatedly rub it against the friction surface 4321. The transfer assembly 5 can achieve the movement of the housing 100 in the vertical and horizontal directions by cooperating with a horizontal electric slide and a vertical electric slide (both constituting the first drive member 51). The transfer assembly 5 can have multiple suction ends 521 (constituting the transfer member 52) to simultaneously pick up two housings 100, and simultaneously transfer at least one housing 100 from the positioning member 22 to the positioning seat 422 and at least one housing 100 from the positioning seat 422 to the fixture 430.

[0222] A sludge receiving tray 500 can be mounted on the top of the support member 1, and the structure connected to the support member 1 described above can be mounted on the sludge receiving tray 500. After the cleaning component removes impurities (such as oil) from the surface of the housing 100, these impurities can be received by the sludge receiving tray 500 and guided by the sludge receiving tray 500 into an impurity recovery structure (such as a recovery bin) for centralized treatment. The specific structure of the sludge receiving tray 500 is not limited; please refer to the appendix. Figure 13 .
