Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of laser surface treatment processing, specifically to an automatic feeding component and a laser grinding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, laser cutting / grinding equipment is equipped with a loading / unloading module, which is an independent mechanism. Using a separate robot is expensive and space-consuming. In conventional equipment, a dedicated servo motor drives a lead screw, which is then driven by a PLC or motion control card to move the workpiece from the raw material position to the processing position. After processing, the workpiece is moved from the processing position to the finished product position. This type of separate linear module also requires significant space and necessitates interaction between the control system and the existing equipment control system. Existing loading / unloading modules suffer from inaccurate placement, insufficient capacity, and frequent need for manual assistance during production.

[0003] Therefore, a new multi-layer loading fixture is needed for PDC (polycrystalline diamond compact bit) machining, which can hold a sufficient number of PDCs to achieve operation for more than 12 hours, and has an automatic loading and unloading mechanism that does not require manual assistance. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of this application is to provide a new automatic feeding component and laser grinding equipment, which maximizes the use of the laser grinding equipment's own control and movement mechanism and meets the requirements of continuous automatic operation.

The recesses are opposite to the support columns, and the orthographic projection of the support columns on the second side is located within the outline of the corresponding recess. The second side has an array of storage parts for placing workpieces.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom and / or sidewalls of the receiving section in the automatic feeding component are at least partially coated with a magnetic coating.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the storage section of the automatic feeding component is provided with a magnetic component.

[0029] The above-described solutions are further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are illustrative of this application and not intended to limit its scope. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments may be further adjusted according to the conditions of a specific manufacturer, and implementation conditions not specified are generally those found in routine experiments. In the embodiments of this application, the term "connection" can be understood as either a direct connection or an indirect connection.

[0030] This application discloses an automatic feeding component and a laser grinding device. The automatic feeding component includes at least one tray assembly, which comprises a cuboid tray body having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, on which an identification unit is disposed. Multiple support pillars are disposed along the edge of the first side, and multiple recesses are disposed along the edge of the second side opposite to the first side. The recesses are opposite to the support pillars, and the orthographic projection of the support pillars on the second side lies within the contour of the corresponding recess. An array of storage portions is disposed on the second side for placing workpieces. This satisfies the need for unattended operation and long-term operation during PDC processing, improving production efficiency. The identification unit allows for traceability of the processed workpieces.

[0031] Next, we will combine the appendix Figures 1-4 The present application describes in detail the automatic feeding component of the embodiments described herein.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic feeding component according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1A schematic diagram of the structure of the automatic feeding component fully loaded with workpieces.

[0033] The automatic feeding component includes a tray assembly 100, which includes:

[0034] The tray body 110 is cuboid in shape.

[0035] The pallet body 110 has a first side 112 and a second side 113 disposed opposite to the first side 112. A plurality of support columns 120 are disposed on the edge of the first side 112. The support columns 120 extend along the short side direction of the pallet body 110. Preferably, two or more support columns 120 extending in the short side direction are disposed on the edge of the first side 112.

[0036] The edge of the second side 113, which is opposite to the first side 112, is provided with a plurality of recesses 110a. These recesses 110a are opposite to the support columns 120, and the number of recesses 110a corresponds to the number of support columns 120. The orthographic projection of each support column 120 on the second side 113 lies within the outline of the corresponding recess 110a. The second side 113 is provided with an array of storage portions 110b (e.g., 3*6, the specific number of rows / columns is not limited and depends on the application). These storage portions 110b are used to hold workpieces 200. In one embodiment, the bottom of the storage portion 110b is coated with a magnetic coating, which can attract the workpiece placed inside the storage portion 110b. The workpiece 200 is cylindrical. The second side 113 is provided with an identification unit 130, which can be a QR code for tracing the processed workpiece. Preferably, the QR code can be obtained by laser irradiation.

[0037] The tray body 110 has a first side end 111 and a second side end 114 opposite to the first side end 111. Connecting components 140 are respectively installed on the first side end 111 and the second side end 114, allowing the tray body 110 to be picked up / dropped. During picking up, a matching robotic arm connects to the connecting component 140 to pick up the tray body 110. In this embodiment, one connecting component 140 is installed on the first side end 111, and two connecting components 140 are installed on the second side end 114. Preferably, the connecting components 140 are installed in the middle / center of the first side end 111, and the orthographic projection of the connecting component 140 on the first side end 111 onto the second side end 114 is located in the middle of the two connecting components 140 installed on the second side end 114. Thus, the combination of the three connecting components 140 forms a triangle, allowing the robotic arm to connect to the connecting component 140 and pick up the tray body 110 (picking up in a triangular configuration is more stable). In other embodiments, there are no limitations; for example, the same number of connecting parts 140 can be installed on the first side end 111 and the second side end 114 (e.g., two connecting parts 140 and three connecting parts 140 can be installed respectively). In this embodiment, the edge of the first side 112 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes for mounting support columns 120. The support column 120 has an end 121 for embedding into a recess in the edge of the second side of another tray body when stacked. The tray body is made of aluminum alloy or a similar alloy material.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The connecting component 140 has an L-shaped body 140a. The body 140a includes a first side having at least one through hole 141, through which a fastener (such as a bolt or pin) passes to secure the body 140a to a first side end 111 or a second side end 114. The body 140a includes a second side having a through hole 142, through which a robotic arm connects to the connecting component 140 by passing through or hooking onto the through hole 142.

[0039] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an automatic feeding component according to another embodiment of this application. The automatic feeding component includes two stacked tray assemblies 100.

[0040] As Figure 3 Variations of the implementation method, such as Figure 4 As shown, the automatic feeding component includes three stacked tray assemblies 100.

[0041] This allows the automatic feeding unit to be configured as a tray assembly 100 with two or more layers of workpieces stacked together, thus solving the problems of fixture stability, accuracy, and capacity. This meets the need for unattended, long-term operation during PDC processing, improving production efficiency. The tray body is made of aluminum alloy or a similar alloy.

[0042] Based on the same concept, this application proposes a laser grinding equipment, which is equipped with the aforementioned automatic feeding component. This feeding component can pre-place multiple workpieces to be ground, allowing the equipment to run continuously for more than 12 hours without the need for manual assistance.
