Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sheet metal processing equipment, and in particular to an integrated top-loading sanding machine. Background Technology
[0002] As a core piece of equipment in surface treatment, sanding machines achieve surface smoothing of materials through the high-speed rotation of sanding components, and are widely used in furniture manufacturing, machining, and other fields. Existing sanding machines often employ separate layouts for the feeding, unloading, and sanding mechanisms. The feeding and unloading components (such as conveyor belts and simple grippers) and sanding components (such as sanding rollers and sanding belts) are fixed to different areas of the frame via independent supports, resulting in a large overall size and footprint, making it difficult to adapt to compact work scenarios such as small workshops and integrated assembly lines, leading to insufficient space utilization. Furthermore, the feeding, unloading, and sanding processes of traditional sanding machines are performed in steps: materials must first be manually or mechanically transferred to the sanding station, and then unloaded after a single batch of sanding is completed. During this period, the feeding mechanism remains idle for extended periods, resulting in low production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated loading and unloading sanding machine. This integrated loading and unloading sanding machine has a compact structure, occupies a small area, and can load and unload materials in one piece, thereby improving space utilization and production efficiency.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An integrated top-loading sanding machine includes a frame and two sanding mechanisms. Its distinguishing feature is the inclusion of a top-loading mechanism, which comprises a translational seat, a lifting seat, a strip sanding seat, a lifting crossbar, and three robotic arms capable of fixing materials. The frame is equipped with a translational mechanism that drives the translational seat to move horizontally left and right. The translational seat is equipped with a first lifting mechanism that drives the lifting seat to move up and down. The strip sanding seat is horizontally mounted on the lifting seat. The strip sanding seat is equipped with a second lifting mechanism that drives the lifting crossbar to move up and down. Each robotic arm is evenly spaced along the length of the lifting crossbar. Each of the aforementioned sanding mechanisms is mounted on a strip sanding base, with each sanding mechanism positioned between two adjacent robotic arms. All sanding mechanisms and robotic arms are located on the same vertical plane. The frame is equipped with a worktable, on which, from right to left, are arranged at equal intervals: a loading station, a primary sanding station, a switching station, a secondary sanding station, and a unloading station. The robotic arm on the right corresponds to the loading station, the sanding mechanism on the right corresponds to the primary sanding station, the robotic arm in the middle corresponds to the switching station, the sanding mechanism on the left corresponds to the secondary sanding station, and the robotic arm on the left corresponds to the unloading station.
[0005] The specific structure of the aforementioned sanding mechanism is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the translation mechanism includes a first slider, a first drive motor, a first gear, and a first rack. The frame is provided with a first guide rail running left-right. The first slider is positioned on the first guide rail and can move horizontally left and right along it. The translation seat is mounted on the first slider. The first rack is horizontally mounted on the frame and parallel to the first guide rail. The first drive motor is mounted on the frame, and the first gear is mounted on the power output shaft of the first drive motor, meshing with the first rack. The first drive motor drives the first gear to rotate, causing the translation seat to move horizontally along the first guide rail under the influence of the meshing of the first gear and the first rack.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the first lifting mechanism includes a second slider, a second drive motor, a second gear, and a second rack. The translational base is provided with a second guide rail running vertically. The second slider is positioned on the second guide rail and can move vertically along it. The lifting base is mounted on the second slider. The second rack is horizontally mounted on the lifting base and parallel to the second guide rail. The second drive motor is mounted on the translational base, and the second gear is mounted on the power output shaft of the second drive motor, meshing with the second rack. The second drive motor drives the second gear to rotate, causing the lifting base to move vertically along the second guide rail under the influence of the meshing of the second gear and the second rack.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the second lifting mechanism includes a lead screw motor, a guide sleeve, and a guide rod. The lead screw motor and guide sleeve are both mounted on the strip-shaped sanding base. The guide sleeve runs vertically, and the guide rod is located within the guide sleeve, with its lower end connected to the top of the lifting crossbar. A nut is provided on the lead screw of the lead screw motor, and the nut is connected to the top of the lifting crossbar. When the lead screw motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the nut, unable to rotate synchronously, will move linearly along the axis of the lead screw (vertically), thereby causing the lifting crossbar to rise and fall.
[0009] Of course, the aforementioned translation mechanism, first lifting mechanism, and second lifting mechanism can all use independent cylinders, and can all use a structure that combines a motor, lead screw, guide rod, guide sleeve, and nut, and can all use a structure that combines a motor, drive sprocket, driven sprocket, and chain.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the robotic arm includes a vacuum pump and a suction cup. The upper end of the vacuum pump is mounted on the lifting crossbar, and the suction cup is mounted on the lower end of the vacuum pump with its suction port facing downwards. The air outlet of the suction cup is connected to the vacuum pump. During operation, the vacuum pump is started, causing the suction cup to adsorb and fix the material at the loading station. When it is necessary to release the material, simply turn off the vacuum pump, and the suction cup will release the material.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: This utility model integrates the loading and unloading mechanism (translation seat, lifting seat, strip sanding seat, lifting crossbar, and various robotic arms) with the sanding mechanism into the same frame, and all robotic arms and sanding mechanisms are located on the same vertical plane, avoiding the space waste caused by the separation of the loading area, unloading area and sanding area in traditional equipment; each workstation is arranged along a straight line, and with the compact movement trajectory of translation / lifting, the overall equipment occupies a small area, has a compact structure, and can load and unload materials in one piece, improving space utilization and production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0013] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0014] like Figure 1-5As shown, the integrated top-loading sander in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a top-loading mechanism 2, and two sanding mechanisms 3. The top-loading mechanism 2 includes a translation seat 21, a lifting seat 22, a strip sanding seat 23, a lifting crossbar 24, and three robotic arms 25 capable of fixing materials. The frame 1 is equipped with a translation mechanism 4 capable of driving the translation seat 21 to move horizontally left and right. The translation seat 21 is equipped with a first lifting mechanism 5 capable of driving the lifting seat 22 to move up and down. The strip sanding seat 23 is horizontally installed on the lifting seat 22. The strip sanding seat 23 is equipped with a second lifting mechanism 6 capable of driving the lifting crossbar 24 to move up and down. Each robotic arm 25 is installed at equal intervals along the length of the lifting crossbar 24. All sanding mechanisms 3 are installed on strip sanding seats 23. Each sanding mechanism 3 is located between two adjacent robotic arms 25, and all sanding mechanisms 3 and robotic arms 25 are on the same vertical plane. The frame 1 is provided with a worktable 11. From right to left, the worktable 11 is provided with a loading station 12, a primary sanding station 13, a switching station 14, a secondary sanding station 15, and a unloading station 16, which are arranged at equal intervals. The robotic arm 25 on the right corresponds to the loading station 12, the sanding mechanism 3 on the right corresponds to the primary sanding station 13, the robotic arm 25 in the middle corresponds to the switching station 14, the sanding mechanism 3 on the left corresponds to the secondary sanding station 15, and the robotic arm 25 on the left corresponds to the unloading station 16.
[0015] The working steps of the above sander are as follows: (1) The materials are transported one by one to the loading station 12. The lifting bar 24 is driven to descend by the second lifting mechanism 6, which drives each robot arm 25 to descend until the robot arm 25 on the right side fixes the materials on the loading station 12. Then the lifting bar 24 and each robot arm 25 on it are driven to rise and reset by the second lifting mechanism 6. (2) The first lifting mechanism 5 drives the lifting seat 22 and the strip sanding seat 23, each sanding mechanism 3, the second lifting mechanism 6, the lifting crossbar 24, and each robot arm 25 to rise until the material of each robot arm 25 is higher than the sanding station. (3) Drive the translation seat 21 to move horizontally to the left along the frame 1 through the translation mechanism 4 (the direction is consistent with the length direction of the lifting crossbar 24), so that each robot arm 25 and sanding mechanism 3 move to the left synchronously, so that the robot arm 25 on the right moves to the top of the primary sanding station 13; then drive the lifting seat 22 and the strip sanding seat 23 on it, each sanding mechanism 3, the second lifting mechanism 6, the lifting crossbar 24, and each robot arm 25 to descend through the first lifting mechanism 5, so that the robot arm 25 on the right releases the material and places the material on the primary sanding station 13; (4) Drive the lifting seat 22 to rise through the first lifting mechanism 5, thereby driving each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 to rise, so that each robot arm 25 is higher than the sanding station; then drive the translation seat 21 to move horizontally to the right along the frame 1 through the translation mechanism 4, so that each robot arm 25 and sanding mechanism 3 move to the right and reset synchronously. (5) After each sanding mechanism 3 is reset, the lifting seat 22 is driven to descend by the first lifting mechanism 5, which in turn drives each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 to descend until the working end of the sanding mechanism 3 on the right side contacts the material surface on the first sanding station 13 and performs a first sanding on the material; at the same time, the lifting crossbar 24 is driven to descend by the second lifting mechanism 6, which in turn drives each robot arm 25 to descend again, so that the robot arm 25 on the right side fixes the new material on the loading station 12 (the loading station 12 has been pre-filled with new material); then the lifting crossbar 24 and each robot arm 25 on it are driven to rise and reset by the second lifting mechanism 6. (6) After the material is sanded once, the lifting seat 22 is driven to rise by the first lifting mechanism 5, which in turn drives each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 to rise, so that each sanding mechanism 3 is higher than the sanding station; then the translation mechanism 4 drives the translation seat 21 to move horizontally to the right along the frame 1, so that each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 move to the right synchronously, so that the middle robot arm 25 moves above the first sanding station 13; then the lifting seat 22 is driven to fall by the first lifting mechanism 5, which in turn drives each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 to fall, so that the middle robot arm 25 fixes the sanded material; then the lifting seat 22 is driven to rise by the first lifting mechanism 5, which in turn drives each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 to rise, so that each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 is higher than the sanding station. (7) Drive the translation seat 21 to move horizontally to the left along the frame 1 through the translation mechanism 4, so that each robot arm 25 and sanding mechanism 3 move to the left synchronously, so that the middle robot arm 25 moves to the top of the secondary sanding station 15 and the right robot arm 25 moves to the top of the primary sanding station 13; then drive the lifting seat 22 to descend through the first lifting mechanism 5, so that each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 descend, so that the two robots arm 25 in the middle and on the right release the material, so that the material is placed on the secondary sanding station 15 and the primary sanding station 13 respectively; (8) Step (4) is executed again. After each sanding mechanism 3 is reset, the lifting seat 22 is driven to descend by the first lifting mechanism 5, which in turn drives each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 to descend until the working end of the sanding mechanism 3 on the right side contacts the surface of the new material on the primary sanding station 13 and performs primary sanding on the material, and the working end of the sanding mechanism 3 on the left side contacts the surface of the material on the secondary sanding station 15 and performs secondary sanding on the material. At the same time, the lifting crossbar 24 is driven to descend by the second lifting mechanism 6, which in turn drives each robot arm 25 to descend again, so that the robot arm 25 on the right side fixes the new material on the loading station 12 (new material has been pre-filled on the loading station 12). Then, the lifting crossbar 24 and each robot arm 25 on it are driven to rise and reset by the second lifting mechanism 6. (9) After the material is sanded once and twice, the lifting platform 22 is driven to rise by the first lifting mechanism 5, which in turn drives each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 to rise, so that each sanding mechanism 3 is higher than the sanding station; then the translation mechanism 4 drives the translation platform 21 to move horizontally to the right along the frame 1, so that each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 moves to the right synchronously, so that the middle robot arm 25 moves to the top of the first sanding station 13 and the left robot arm 25 moves to the top of the second sanding station 15; then the lifting platform 22 is driven to fall by the first lifting mechanism 5, which in turn drives each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 to fall, so that the middle robot arm 25 fixes the material that has been sanded once and the left robot arm 25 fixes the material that has been sanded twice; then the lifting platform 22 is driven to rise by the first lifting mechanism 5, which in turn drives each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 to rise, so that each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 is higher than the sanding station; (10) The translation mechanism 4 drives the translation seat 21 to move horizontally to the left along the frame 1, so that each robot arm 25 and sanding mechanism 3 move to the left and reset synchronously, so that the robot arm 25 on the left moves to the top of the unloading station 16, the robot arm 25 in the middle moves to the top of the switching station 14, and the robot arm 25 on the right moves to the top of the loading station 12; then the first lifting mechanism 5 drives the lifting seat 22 to descend, which drives each robot arm 25 and each sanding mechanism 3 to descend, and at the same time the second lifting mechanism 6 drives the lifting crossbar 24 to descend, which drives each robot arm 25 to descend again, so that the robot arm 25 on the left releases the material and places the material on the unloading station 16. Subsequently, the material on the unloading station 16 is transported to the next station by manual labor or other robot arms 25, thus completing the process of loading and unloading in one piece.
[0016] The specific structure of the aforementioned sanding mechanism 3 is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0017] The translation mechanism 4 includes a first slider 41, a first drive motor 42, a first gear 43, and a first rack 44. A first guide rail 45 running left-right is provided on the frame 1. The first slider 41 is positioned on the first guide rail 45 and can move horizontally left and right along it. The translation seat 21 is mounted on the first slider 41. The first rack 44 is horizontally mounted on the frame 1 and parallel to the first guide rail 45. The first drive motor 42 is mounted on the frame 1, and the first gear 43 is mounted on the power output shaft of the first drive motor 42, meshing with the first rack 44. The first drive motor 42 drives the first gear 43 to rotate, causing the translation seat 21 to move horizontally along the first guide rail 45 under the influence of the meshing of the first gear 43 and the first rack 44.
[0018] The first lifting mechanism 5 includes a second slider 51, a second drive motor 52, a second gear 53, and a second rack 54. The translation seat 21 is provided with a vertically oriented second guide rail 55. The second slider 51 is located on the second guide rail 55 and can move up and down along it. The lifting seat 22 is mounted on the second slider 51. The second rack 54 is horizontally mounted on the lifting seat 22 and parallel to the second guide rail 55. The second drive motor 52 is mounted on the translation seat 21. The second gear 53 is mounted on the power output shaft of the second drive motor 52 and meshes with the second rack 54. The second drive motor 52 drives the second gear 53 to rotate, causing the lifting seat 22 to move up and down along the second guide rail 55 under the influence of the meshing of the second gear 53 and the second rack 54.
[0019] The second lifting mechanism 6 includes a lead screw motor 61, a guide sleeve 62, and a guide rod 63. The lead screw motor 61 and the guide sleeve 62 are both mounted on the strip-shaped sanding seat 23. The guide sleeve 62 runs vertically, and the guide rod 63 is located within the guide sleeve 62, with its lower end connected to the top of the lifting crossbar 24. A nut 64 is provided on the lead screw of the lead screw motor 61, and the nut 64 is connected to the top of the lifting crossbar 24. When the lead screw motor 61 drives the lead screw to rotate, the nut 64, unable to rotate synchronously, will move linearly along the axis of the lead screw (vertically), thereby driving the lifting crossbar 24 to rise and fall.
[0020] The robotic arm 25 includes a vacuum pump 251 and a suction cup 252. The upper end of the vacuum pump 251 is mounted on the lifting crossbar 24, and the suction cup 252 is mounted on the lower end of the vacuum pump 251, with the suction port of the suction cup 252 facing downwards. The air outlet of the suction cup 252 is connected to the vacuum pump 251. During operation, the vacuum pump 251 is started, causing the suction cup 252 to adsorb and fix the material on the loading station 12. When it is necessary to release the material, simply turn off the vacuum pump 251, and the suction cup 252 will release the material.
[0021] Furthermore, it should be noted that the names of the various parts of the specific embodiments described in this specification may differ.
