Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and more specifically, to an integrated blade stand-up feed tray and grinding machine. Background Technology

[0002] During the grinding process of CNC cutting tools on an automatic grinding machine, a robotic arm is typically used to grip the cutting tool. A stock tray is needed to fix the position of the CNC cutting tool so that the robotic arm can grip and return it; therefore, the stock tray must be compatible with the CNC cutting tool to be processed.

[0003] For example, the invention patent application number 202310456053.3, entitled "A Machine Tool Arrangement Structure for Indexable Insert Grinding," mentions that a insert preparation tray is set up on the machine tool for stacking inserts. This insert preparation tray only limits the inserts in one direction. Since the robot's action of gripping the inserts is controlled by a program, there are high requirements for the placement posture of the inserts in the preparation tray and the distance between the inserts. If the inserts are placed haphazardly or the distance between the inserts is inconsistent, it will affect the robot's recognition and gripping. Therefore, the position of the inserts needs to be initially positioned during preparation to ensure that the robot can smoothly place the inserts into the machining position.

[0004] Furthermore, in the invention patent application with application number 202211023880.5, entitled "A peripheral grinding machine blade flipping and positioning device and its control method," a positioning groove is provided to limit the blade, with one blade placed in each positioning groove. (This patent...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 All of the above disclose an integrated blade preparation tray. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a blade preparation tray. The tray has multiple protrusions, and the spacing between these protrusions positions the blades. With so many protrusions, and the spacing between each pair needing to match the shape of the blade, the machining process is complex, requiring high precision and presenting significant challenges for subsequent maintenance. The patent appendix... Figure 2 The cutting tool flat feed tray shown is a standard industry-standard feed tray with several rectangular compartments. When this type of feed tray is used in a vertically clamped cutting tool grinding center, the equipment needs to be upgraded with a tilting table and positioning plate, and the robotic arm needs additional grippers or magnetic fingers.

[0005] In summary, although the existing blade preparation tray can perform preliminary positioning of the blade, its structure is complex, difficult to manufacture, and difficult to maintain in the later stage. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that although the existing blade preparation tray can perform preliminary positioning of the blade, it has a complex structure, complicated processing, and difficult maintenance. The present invention provides a blade preparation tray with a simple structure, convenient processing, and easy maintenance.

[0007] An integrated blade stand-up assembly tray includes a tray body and a limiting plate, which are integral structures. The tray body includes an upper surface and a lower surface, and the limiting plate is located on the upper surface of the tray body. The tray body has multiple longitudinal grooves, which are through grooves extending from the lower surface of the tray body to the lower surface of the limiting plate. The limiting plate has multiple transverse grooves that intersect perpendicularly with the longitudinal grooves, and the longitudinal grooves and transverse grooves intersect to form positioning grooves for placing blades.

[0008] The integrated blade stand-up material tray of this utility model is processed by directly machining a through groove (longitudinal groove) from the lower surface of the tray body to the lower surface of the limiting plate, and then machining a transverse groove perpendicular to the longitudinal groove from the upper limiting plate. The connection between the transverse groove and the longitudinal groove forms a positioning groove for placing the blade.

[0009] The blade preparation tray of this utility model is simple and quick to process. After the blade is ground, the grinding machine is generally equipped with compressed air to dry the oil stains on the blade, but it is difficult to avoid the presence of residue. Since the positioning groove formed by the intersection of the longitudinal groove and the transverse groove is a through groove, when the blade is placed in the positioning groove, any oil residue can leak out from the positioning groove, which is convenient for maintenance.

[0010] In this application, "multiple" means two or more.

[0011] Furthermore, the longitudinal grooves are evenly arranged on the material tray body, and the transverse grooves are evenly arranged on the limiting plate. The widths of the multiple longitudinal grooves are equal, and the widths of the multiple transverse grooves are also equal. The positioning grooves formed by the intersection of the longitudinal grooves and the transverse grooves are of the same size.

[0012] The longitudinal and transverse grooves are evenly arranged, meaning the spacing between longitudinal grooves is equal, and the spacing between transverse grooves is equal; the widths of the longitudinal grooves and transverse grooves are also equal. This results in blade positioning grooves of consistent size and consistent spacing in both the horizontal and vertical directions, facilitating identification by the robotic arm.

[0013] In another embodiment, the widths of the multiple longitudinal grooves are not equal, and the widths of the multiple transverse grooves are not equal, enabling a single disc to be used for multiple purposes and suitable for blades of different sizes.

[0014] Furthermore, the longitudinal groove is tangent to the inscribed circle of the blade in the width direction, and the width of the transverse groove is adapted to the thickness of the blade. The positioning groove positions the blade, and the blade extends out of the positioning groove for easy gripping by the robotic arm.

[0015] The width of the transverse groove is adapted to the thickness of the blade, meaning that the transverse groove has two opposing sides in the width direction, which respectively contact the two sides in the thickness direction of the blade to limit the thickness direction of the blade.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a base, which is an integrated structure with the tray body and the limiting plate, and the base, tray body, and limiting plate are arranged sequentially. The base provides support for the tray body and the limiting plate.

[0017] Furthermore, a weight-reducing groove parallel to the longitudinal groove is formed on the base, corresponding to the longitudinal groove. The weight-reducing groove in this invention creates reinforcing ribs on the base, which not only achieves lightweight characteristics but also meets the structural strength requirements of the blade preparation tray. More ingeniously, the weight-reducing groove is positioned corresponding to the longitudinal groove. During processing, the weight-reducing groove is first machined on the base, and then the longitudinal groove is machined at the location of the weight-reducing groove. Compared to existing technologies, this structure significantly reduces the processing difficulty.

[0018] Furthermore, the width of the weight-reducing groove is greater than the width of the longitudinal groove.

[0019] When processing the blade preparation tray described in this utility model, the weight reduction groove is first processed from the base, and the width of the weight reduction groove is greater than the width of the longitudinal groove; then the longitudinal groove is processed, and then the transverse groove is processed from one side of the upper surface of the tray body on the limiting plate.

[0020] Furthermore, the base is square, and two opposite sides of the square base have recessed handles that extend inwards to facilitate manual handling or robotic arm gripping of the blade preparation tray.

[0021] The base can also be multiple evenly arranged bosses fixed to the lower surface of the material tray body. With this structure, the blade preparation tray has no reinforcing ribs and the structural strength is low.

[0022] Furthermore, the blade is a positive rake angle blade.

[0023] This utility model also provides a grinding machine, including a worktable, a grinding mechanism, a robot arm and a cutting tool tray. The grinding mechanism and the cutting tool tray are arranged on the worktable. The robot arm picks up cutting tools from the cutting tool tray and places them on the grinding mechanism for processing. The cutting tool tray is the integrated cutting tool tray described above.

[0024] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model discloses an integrated blade stand-up feeding tray and grinding machine. The integrated blade stand-up feeding tray includes a tray body, a limiting plate, and a base, which are integrated as one unit. Longitudinal grooves are machined on the tray body, transverse grooves are machined on the limiting plate, and weight-reducing grooves are machined on the base. The weight-reducing grooves are parallel to the longitudinal grooves, and the transverse grooves are perpendicular to the longitudinal grooves. The width of the weight-reducing grooves is greater than the width of the longitudinal grooves. During manufacturing, the weight-reducing grooves are machined first from the base, then the longitudinal grooves are machined through them, and finally the transverse grooves are machined from the limiting plate, making the process simple and quick. The base provides support, and the weight-reducing grooves create a reinforcing rib structure, which not only achieves lightweight characteristics but also meets the structural strength requirements of the blade feeding tray. Furthermore, all longitudinal grooves and all transverse grooves are of equal width, and the longitudinal and transverse grooves are evenly arranged, forming blade positioning grooves of the same size. The spacing between the positioning grooves in both the longitudinal and transverse directions is equal, facilitating gripping by the robotic arm. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Example 1 Integrated blade vertical feed tray, such as Figure 1As shown, the device includes a tray body 1 and a limiting plate 2, which are integrated structures. The tray body 1 includes an upper surface and a lower surface, and the limiting plate 2 is located on the upper surface of the tray body 1. The tray body 1 has multiple longitudinal grooves 1a, which are through grooves extending from the lower surface of the tray body to the lower surface of the limiting plate. The limiting plate 2 has multiple transverse grooves 2a that intersect perpendicularly with the longitudinal grooves 1a. The intersection of the longitudinal grooves 1a and the transverse grooves 2a forms a positioning groove 3 for placing the blade 5.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the tray body 1 and the limiting plate 2 are squares with the same length and width. The longitudinal groove 1a refers to a groove whose length direction is parallel to the upper and lower surfaces of the tray body 1. The longitudinal groove 1a extends from the lower surface of the tray body to the lower surface of the limiting plate. When the limiting plate 2 has a transverse groove 2a perpendicular to the longitudinal groove 1a, and the transverse groove 2a is also a racetrack-shaped groove, the transverse groove 2a intersects and connects with the longitudinal groove 1a to form a positioning groove 3. During processing, only the longitudinal and transverse grooves need to be processed using methods such as milling. Compared with the prior art, it has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient processing.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the longitudinal grooves 1a are evenly arranged on the material tray body 1, and the transverse grooves 2a are evenly arranged on the limiting plate 2. The longitudinal grooves 1a and transverse grooves 2a are evenly arranged, and the widths of the longitudinal grooves 1a and transverse grooves 2a are also equal. The positioning grooves 3 formed by the intersection of the longitudinal grooves 1a and transverse grooves 2a are of the same size and are used to place blades 5 of the same size. The longitudinal grooves 1a are tangent to the inscribed circle of the blade 5 in the width direction. The width of the transverse grooves 2a is adapted to the thickness of the blade 5. In this embodiment, the positioning groove 3 is used to place a 0-degree back angle blade.

[0034] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, it also includes a base 4, which is an integrated structure with the material tray body 1 and the limiting plate 2. The base 4, material tray body 1, and limiting plate 2 are arranged sequentially. A weight-reducing groove 4a, parallel to the longitudinal groove 1a, is formed on the base 4 at the corresponding position. The width of the weight-reducing groove 4a is greater than the width of the longitudinal groove 1a.

[0035] The base 4, the material tray body 1, and the limiting plate 2 are an integrated structure. During processing, the integrated blade stand is equipped with the material tray to process the weight reduction groove 4a, the longitudinal groove 1a, and the transverse groove 2a in sequence without the need for assembly.

[0036] The base 4 is square, and there are handles 4b recessed into the inside of the base 4 on two opposite sides of the square base 4.

[0037] The integrated blade stand-up assembly tray described in this embodiment includes a tray body 1, a limiting plate 2, and a base 4. The tray body 1, the limiting plate 2, and the base 4 are integrated. A longitudinal groove 1a is machined on the tray body 1, a transverse groove 2a is machined on the limiting plate 2, and a weight-reducing groove 4a is machined on the base 4. The weight-reducing groove 4a is parallel to the longitudinal groove 1a, and the transverse groove 2a is perpendicular to the longitudinal groove 1a. The width of the weight-reducing groove 4a is greater than the width of the longitudinal groove 1a. During manufacturing, the weight-reducing groove 4a is machined first from the base 4, then the longitudinal groove 1a is machined through the weight-reducing groove 4a, and finally the transverse groove 2a is machined from the limiting plate 2. The manufacturing process is simple and quick. The base 4 provides support, and the weight-reducing groove 4a forms a reinforcing rib structure, which not only has lightweight characteristics but also strengthens the structural strength of the blade preparation tray. In this embodiment, all longitudinal grooves 1a have the same width, all transverse grooves 2a have the same width, and the longitudinal grooves 1a and transverse grooves 2a are evenly arranged. The resulting blade 5 positioning grooves 3 are the same size, and the spacing between the positioning grooves 3 in the longitudinal and transverse directions is equal, which facilitates the gripping of the robotic arm.

[0038] Example 2 An integrated blade stand-up assembly tray includes a tray body 1 and a limiting plate 2, wherein the tray body 1 and the limiting plate 2 are an integrated structure; the tray body 1 includes an upper surface and a lower surface, and the limiting plate 2 is located on the upper surface of the tray body 1; the tray body 1 has multiple longitudinal grooves 1a, which extend from the lower surface to the lower surface of the limiting plate; the limiting plate 2 has multiple transverse grooves 2a that intersect perpendicularly with the longitudinal grooves 1a, and the longitudinal grooves 1a and the transverse grooves 2a intersect and connect to form a positioning groove 3 for placing the blade 5.

[0039] The longitudinal grooves 1a are evenly arranged on the material tray body 1, and the transverse grooves 2a are evenly arranged on the limiting plate 2. The widths of the longitudinal grooves 1a and the transverse grooves 2a are equal. The positioning grooves 3 formed by the intersection of the longitudinal grooves 1a and the transverse grooves 2a are of the same size. The width direction of the longitudinal grooves 1a contacts the inscribed circle of the blade 5, and the width of the transverse grooves 2a contacts the thickness direction of the blade 5. In this embodiment, the positioning groove 3 is used to place the 0-degree back angle blade 5.

[0040] It also includes a base 4, which is an integrated structure with the tray body 1 and the limiting plate 2. The base 4, the tray body 1, and the limiting plate 2 are arranged in sequence. The base 4 consists of a plurality of protrusions 6 evenly arranged on the lower surface of the tray body 1.

[0041] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that, as Figure 6 , 7As shown, the base 4 consists of four bosses 6, therefore it does not have a weight-reducing groove 4a. Embodiment 1 has better structural strength than Embodiment 2. In this embodiment, the integrated blade stand-up assembly tray is processed by first machining longitudinal grooves 1a from the lower surface of the tray body 1, and then machining transverse grooves 2a on the limiting plate 2, resulting in simple and quick processing. All longitudinal grooves 1a have equal width, all transverse grooves 2a have equal width, and both longitudinal and transverse grooves 1a are evenly arranged, forming blade 5 positioning grooves 3 of the same size. The positioning grooves 3 are evenly spaced in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, facilitating gripping by the robotic arm.

[0042] Example 3 A grinding machine includes a worktable, a grinding mechanism, a robot arm, and a cutting tool tray. The grinding mechanism and the cutting tool tray are disposed on the worktable. The robot arm picks up cutting tools 5 from the cutting tool tray and places them onto the grinding mechanism for processing. The cutting tool tray is the cutting tool tray described in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the scope of the present utility model.
