Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In CNC insert grinding, automatic grinding machines often use robotic arms to grip the CNC inserts. The insert preparation tray, as a key device for fixing the insert's position, must be matched with the CNC insert to be processed to ensure the robotic arm can accurately grip and return the insert. In existing technologies, insert preparation trays mostly adopt a grid structure, with each grid holding one insert. For example, in the invention patent application number 202411114917.4, entitled "An Insert Edge Passivation Device and Method," the worktable has an insert loading tray (i.e., a flat insert loading tray); in the invention patent application number 202211023880.5, entitled "A Peripheral Grinding Machine Insert Tilting and Positioning Device and Its Control Method," its appendix... Figure 2 The demonstration showcased a blade preparation tray (i.e., a flat blade preparation tray) mounted on the worktable. It employs a rectangular array grid design, where the blades are fixed solely by the grid without additional positioning functionality. This design is suitable for processes such as end-face grinding and edge dulling. However, if used in a vertically clamped blade grinding center, an additional tilting table and positioning plate are required, and the robotic arm needs additional grippers or magnetic fingers, leading to structural complexity and increased cost. Figure 1 The invention discloses a structure for a vertical feeding tray. Structurally, a grid structure with concave and convex features is machined on a base for positioning. There are no lateral separations between the blades. This structure is difficult to machine and difficult to use and maintain. Furthermore, the positioning protrusions extend upward from the base. Such a structure is only suitable for larger blades. Blades that are too small or have a positive back angle are prone to tipping over when placed on this tray, causing the blades to scatter and making it difficult for a robotic arm to grasp them. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a blade stand-up loading tray that is suitable for small-sized blades and is easy to process and maintain.

[0004] A blade stand-up fitting tray includes a tray body and multiple limiting strips. The upper surface of the tray body is flat, and multiple longitudinal grooves are formed on the upper surface of the tray body. Each longitudinal groove has two limiting surfaces in the width direction, and the two limiting surfaces are respectively abutted against the cutting edge of the loaded blade. Ribs are formed between each pair of longitudinal grooves. Short grooves perpendicular to the longitudinal grooves are formed on each rib. The short grooves on each rib are connected in sequence to form transverse grooves. The tray body has multiple parallel transverse grooves. The limiting strips are accommodated in the transverse grooves, and the upper surface of the limiting strips is flush with the upper surface of the tray body. The space enclosed by each pair of limiting strips and the two limiting surfaces is the positioning groove of the blade.

[0005] The blade stand-up feeding tray of this utility model involves machining multiple longitudinal grooves on the upper surface of the tray body during processing. These grooves form multiple ribs, which are then machined into transverse grooves perpendicular to the longitudinal grooves. Finally, a limiting strip is secured within the transverse grooves. The transverse grooves are perpendicular to the longitudinal grooves, and the limiting strip is also perpendicular to the longitudinal grooves. Compared to existing technologies that involve machining individual grid grooves on the tray body or developing molded blade feeding trays, this method is simpler, faster, and less costly. The upper surface of the limiting strip is flush with the upper surface of the tray body, forming positioning grooves that are flush both horizontally and vertically, making it suitable for small-sized blades. In use, a robotic arm directly picks up the blade from the blade stand-up feeding tray and transfers it to the grinding mechanism for processing.

[0006] The term "multiple" in this application refers to two or more.

[0007] The two limiting surfaces are respectively in contact with the cutting edge of the loaded blade, that is, the included angle of the two limiting surfaces of the longitudinal groove is the same as the blade tip angle of the loaded blade.

[0008] Furthermore, the longitudinal grooves and the limiting strips are evenly arranged, the width of the multiple longitudinal grooves is equal, the distance between each pair of limiting strips is also equal, and the resulting positioning grooves are of the same size.

[0009] In another implementation, the widths of the multiple longitudinal grooves are not equal, and the distances between each pair of limiting strips are also not equal, resulting in positioning grooves of different sizes.

[0010] The blade stand-up loading tray can be processed as needed. When it is suitable for one type of blade, the width of the multiple longitudinal grooves is equal, and the distance between each pair of limiting strips is also equal, so the size of the positioning grooves formed is the same. When multiple types of blades need to be placed on one blade stand-up loading tray, the width of the multiple longitudinal grooves is not equal, and the distance between each pair of limiting strips is also not equal, so the size of the positioning grooves formed is different.

[0011] Furthermore, the two limiting surfaces of the longitudinal groove are tangent to the inscribed circle of the blade, and the distance between each pair of limiting strips 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.

[0012] The distance between each pair of limiting strips being adapted to the thickness of the blade means that the two adjacent limiting strips contact the two sides of the blade in the thickness direction to limit the thickness of the blade.

[0013] Furthermore, an oil drain hole is provided at the bottom of the positioning groove, which is a through hole on the material tray body. After the cutting tool is processed, the grinding machine is generally equipped with compressed air to blow away the oil stains on the cutting tool, but it is difficult to avoid the presence of residue. The oil drain hole at the bottom of the positioning groove allows any oil residue to leak out when the cutting tool is put back into the positioning groove, facilitating maintenance.

[0014] Furthermore, the diameter of the oil leakage hole is 1-5mm.

[0015] Furthermore, the blade stand-up feeding tray is suitable for blades with an inscribed circle diameter of less than 9.525 mm. Blades with an inscribed circle diameter of less than 9.525 mm are small-sized blades in the CNC blade series.

[0016] Furthermore, the limiting strip is a racetrack-shaped structure composed of semicircles at both ends and a rectangle in the middle; the transverse groove is also adapted to be the same racetrack-shaped structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the blade is a positive back angle blade or a 0-degree back angle blade.

[0018] This utility model also provides a grinding machine, including a worktable, a grinding mechanism, a robot arm, and a cutting tool vertical loading tray. The grinding mechanism and the cutting tool vertical loading tray are arranged on the worktable. The robot arm picks up cutting tools from the cutting tool vertical loading tray and places them on the grinding mechanism for processing. The cutting tool vertical loading tray is the cutting tool vertical loading tray described above.

[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model discloses a blade vertical assembly feed tray and grinding machine. The blade vertical assembly feed tray includes a feed tray body and multiple limiting strips. During manufacturing, longitudinal grooves are first machined on the upper surface of the feed tray body. After machining the longitudinal grooves, ribs are formed between each pair of longitudinal grooves. Short grooves are then machined on the ribs. The short grooves on each rib are connected sequentially to form straight transverse grooves, which are perpendicular to the longitudinal grooves. Oil drainage holes are then machined on the bottom surface of the longitudinal grooves. Finally, the limiting strips are accommodated in the transverse grooves, thus completing the machining of the blade vertical assembly feed tray. The structure is simple and the machining is convenient. Furthermore, the upper surface of the limiting strips is flush with the upper surface of the feed tray body, and the resulting positioning grooves are flush in both the horizontal and vertical directions, allowing small-sized blades to extend from the positioning grooves while maintaining proper positioning, facilitating gripping by a robotic arm.

[0026] Example 1 A blade stand-up feeding tray, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a material tray body 1 and multiple limiting strips 2. The upper surface 1a of the material tray body 1 is flat, and multiple longitudinal grooves 1d are formed on the upper surface 1a of the material tray body 1. Each longitudinal groove 1d has two limiting surfaces 1g in the width direction, and the two limiting surfaces 1g respectively abut the cutting edges of the loaded blades. Ribs 1e are formed between each pair of longitudinal grooves 1d. Figure 2 As shown, the rib 1e has short grooves 1f perpendicular to the longitudinal groove 1d. The short grooves 1f on each rib 1e are connected sequentially to form a transverse groove. The tray body 1 has multiple parallel transverse grooves. The limiting strip 2 is accommodated in the transverse groove, as shown. Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface of the limiting strip 2 is flush with the upper surface 1a of the tray body 1; the space enclosed by the two limiting strips 2 and the two limiting surfaces 1g is the positioning groove 3 of the blade.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, an oil drain hole 4 is provided at the bottom of the positioning groove 3. The oil drain hole 4 is a through hole on the material tray body 1. In this embodiment, the diameter of the oil drain hole 4 is 3mm.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the tray body 1 is square, including an upper surface 1a, a lower surface 1b, and four sides 1c; Figure 3 As shown, the limiting strip 2 is a racetrack-shaped structure composed of semicircles at both ends and a rectangle in the middle, and the transverse groove is also a racetrack-shaped structure accordingly. During manufacturing, the tray body 1 and the limiting strip 2 are processed separately. The tray body 1 only needs to be processed with the longitudinal groove 1d and the short groove 1f, for example, by milling.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the longitudinal groove 1d is an upward-opening groove structure. Each longitudinal groove has two limiting surfaces 1g, both of which are in contact with the cutting edge of the corresponding CNC insert. Therefore, the included angle between the two limiting surfaces 1g of the longitudinal groove 1d is the same as the tip angle of the loaded insert. In this embodiment, the insert is a positive rake angle insert, and the two limiting surfaces 1g of the longitudinal groove 1d are in contact with the inscribed circle of the insert, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the width direction of the longitudinal groove 1d is inclined to both sides, which facilitates the positioning of the blade by its own weight. The distance between each pair of limiting strips is adapted to the thickness of the blade.

[0030] The blade stand-up feed tray is particularly suitable for blades with an inscribed circle diameter of less than 9.525 mm.

[0031] The longitudinal grooves 1d and the limiting strips 2 are evenly arranged, the width of the multiple longitudinal grooves 1d is equal, the distance between each pair of limiting strips 2 is also equal, and the positioning grooves 3 formed are of the same size.

[0032] This embodiment describes a blade stand-up assembly tray, comprising a tray body 1 and multiple limiting strips 2. During manufacturing, longitudinal grooves 1d are first machined on the upper surface 1a of the tray body 1. Ribs 1e are formed between each pair of longitudinal grooves 1d, and short grooves 1f are machined on the ribs 1e. The short grooves 1f on each rib 1e are sequentially connected to form a straight transverse groove, perpendicular to the longitudinal grooves 1d. Oil drain holes 4 are then machined on the bottom surface of the longitudinal grooves 1d. Finally, the limiting strips 2 are accommodated in the transverse grooves, completing the processing of the blade stand-up assembly tray. The structure is simple and the processing is convenient. Furthermore, the upper surface 1a of the limiting strips 2 is flush with the upper surface 1a of the tray body 1, and the resulting positioning grooves 3 are flush in both the horizontal and vertical directions, facilitating the extension of small-sized blades from the positioning grooves 3 for easy gripping by a robotic arm.

[0033] Example 2 A blade stand-up fitting tray includes a tray body 1 and multiple limiting strips 2. The upper surface 1a of the tray body 1 is flat, and multiple longitudinal grooves 1d are formed on the upper surface 1a of the tray body 1. Ribs 1e are formed between each pair of longitudinal grooves 1d. Short grooves 1f perpendicular to the longitudinal grooves 1d are formed on each rib 1e. The short grooves 1f on each rib 1e are connected in sequence to form transverse grooves. The tray body 1 has multiple parallel transverse grooves. The limiting strips 2 are accommodated in the transverse grooves, and the upper surface 1a of the limiting strips 2 is flush with the upper surface 1a of the tray body 1. The space enclosed by each pair of limiting strips 2 and each pair of ribs 1e is a blade positioning groove 3.

[0034] An oil drain hole 4 is provided at the bottom of the positioning groove 3. The oil drain hole 4 is a through hole on the material tray body 1, and the diameter of the oil drain hole 4 is 3mm.

[0035] The feed tray body 1 is square, including an upper surface 1a, a lower surface 1b, and four side surfaces 1c. The limiting strip 2 is a racetrack-shaped structure composed of semicircles at both ends and a rectangle in the middle. The transverse grooves are also adapted to have the same racetrack-shaped structure. The widths of the multiple longitudinal grooves 1d are not equal, and the distances between any two limiting strips 2 are also not equal, resulting in positioning grooves 3 of different sizes. The two limiting surfaces of the longitudinal grooves 1d are tangent to the inscribed circle of the blade, and the distances between any two limiting strips 2 are adapted to the thickness of the blade. The blade upright feeding tray is suitable for blades with an inscribed circle diameter of less than 9.525 mm.

[0036] The blade described in this embodiment is a positive back angle blade.

[0037] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the blade stand-up feeding tray is suitable for blades with different sizes of positive back angle, the widths of the multiple longitudinal grooves 1d are not equal, the distances between the two limit strips 2 are not equal, and the resulting positioning grooves 3 are of different sizes.

[0038] Example 3 A grinding machine includes a worktable, a grinding mechanism, a robot arm, and a cutting tool vertical feed tray. The grinding mechanism and the cutting tool vertical feed tray are disposed on the worktable. The robot arm picks up cutting tools from the cutting tool vertical feed tray and places them onto the grinding mechanism for processing. The cutting tool vertical feed tray is the cutting tool vertical feed tray described in Example 1.

[0039] 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.
