Description

Technical Field

With the improvement of industrial automation, the market has placed higher demands on the functional integration, operational adaptability, and processing quality of grinding robots. In particular, the high temperature generated during the grinding process directly affects the workpiece processing accuracy, surface quality, and service life of grinding tools. Therefore, the design of the cooling system is one of the key technologies for grinding robots.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN106826422B, which provides an automated grinding robot. Through a combination of mechanical structures, it achieves a soft connection between the diamond workpiece and the grinding wheel, avoiding the safety hazards caused by hard contact. At the same time, it adopts a closed environment to prevent dust diffusion and integrates automated transportation and collection functions, improving processing efficiency and environmental friendliness.

[0004] However, during use, it was found that there are significant differences in the shape of the workpiece, the grinding position, and the material of the workpiece. The fixed-angle cooling spray method is difficult to cover the grinding area under different working conditions. The fixed nozzle is prone to the cooling medium not reaching some grinding areas, resulting in local overheating, which in turn causes workpiece deformation or surface quality defects. It is difficult to adapt to the cooling requirements under different grinding speeds and grinding loads, which affects the operational adaptability and processing quality of the grinding robot.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When cooling is required during the grinding process, the annular cooling pipe outputs cooling medium through multiple nozzles.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a grinding robot, including a connecting flange 100. A damping spring shock absorber 101 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting flange 100. A support frame 102 is installed on the bottom surface of the damping spring shock absorber 101. A servo motor 103 is installed inside the support frame 102.

[0031] The cooling assembly 300 includes an annular cooling pipe 301. The outer peripheral wall of the annular cooling pipe 301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dust collection hood 105. Multiple nozzles 302 are connected to the inner wall of the annular cooling pipe 301. A first spring tube 303 is connected to the middle of each nozzle 302.

[0032] Multiple push rods 307 are rotatably connected to the movable ring 306. The push rods 307 are slidably connected to the dust collection hood 105. An arc-shaped block 308 is provided at the upper end of the dust collection hood 105. The inner wall of the arc-shaped block 308 is slidably connected to the outer peripheral wall of the dust collection pipe 201. The upper ends of the multiple push rods 307 are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped block 308 respectively. Two first electric push rods 309 are installed on the top surface of the dust collection hood 105. The upper ends of the two first electric push rods 309 are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped block 308 respectively. The two first electric push rods 309 simultaneously drive the arc-shaped block 308 to slide axially along the outer peripheral wall of the dust collection pipe 201. The arc-shaped block 308 drives the push rods 307 to move synchronously. The push rods 307 are rotatably connected to the movable ring 306, thereby pushing the movable ring 306 to move axially. The connecting rod 305 drives the rotating rod 304 to deflect, driving the nozzle 302 to rotate around the connection point, thereby realizing the adjustment of the cooling spray angle.

[0033] An inlet pipe 310 is connected to the annular cooling pipe 301. The inlet pipe 310 extends through the dust collection hood 105 to the outside. Multiple supports 311 are installed on the top surface of the dust collection hood 105. Connectors 312 are threadedly connected to the supports 311. The lower end of the dust collection pipe 201 is threadedly connected to the inner end of the connector 312 through a threaded hole. The dust collection hood 105 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the dust collection pipe 201 through the connector 312 on the top support 311, so as to realize quick disassembly and maintenance.

[0034] A telescopic dust cover 106 is fitted around the outer periphery of the damping spring shock absorber 101. The output shaft of the servo motor 103 is coaxially connected to the coupling 104. A grinding shaft 107 is coaxially connected to the output end of the coupling 104. A grinding component 108 is installed at the lower end of the grinding shaft 107. A second spring tube 109 is connected to the middle of the dust collection cover 105. Multiple ball bearings 110 are embedded on the bottom surface of the dust collection cover 105.

The outer peripheral wall of the grinding shaft 107 is rotatably connected to the dust removal pipe 201. The servo motor 103 transmits power to the grinding shaft 107 through the coupling 104. The grinding component 108 at the lower end of the grinding shaft 107 rotates with the shaft to realize the workpiece grinding operation.

[0035] The upper end of the dust removal pipe 201 is connected to the exhaust pipe 202. The dust removal pipe 201 is equipped with a dust suction fan 203. The upper end of the dust suction fan 203 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the grinding shaft 107. A dust suction duct is opened between the outer wall of the dust suction fan 203 and the inner wall of the dust removal pipe 201. A duct sealing ring 204 is installed at the lower end of the dust suction fan 203. The duct sealing ring 204 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the dust removal pipe 201. The top surface of the duct sealing ring 204 is inclined. When the grinding shaft 107 rotates, it synchronously drives the dust suction fan 203 inside the dust removal pipe 201 to rotate, forming a negative pressure in the dust suction duct. The dust generated by grinding is sucked into the dust suction hood 105 and flows upward along the dust suction duct, and is discharged through the exhaust pipe 202.

[0036] Working principle: The connecting flange 100 serves as the connection interface between the device and the robotic arm. Its bottom surface is connected to the support frame 102 through the damping spring shock absorber 101. The servo motor 103 inside the support frame 102 transmits power to the subsequent actuator through the coupling 104, providing a power foundation for the grinding operation.

[0037] When cooling is required during the grinding process, the annular cooling pipe 301 outputs cooling medium through multiple nozzles 302. When the movable ring 306 moves axially, it drives the rotating rod 304 to deflect through the connecting rod 305, thereby driving the nozzles 302 to rotate around the connection point, realizing the adjustment of the cooling spray angle. The first spring tube 303 undergoes flexible deformation with the change of the nozzle 302 angle, ensuring the continuity of cooling medium delivery. This facilitates cooling and covering of workpieces of different shapes and grinding positions, ensuring that the cooling medium reaches the grinding area smoothly, reducing the risk of local overheating, reducing workpiece deformation and surface quality defects, protecting the grinding tools, extending their service life, improving the adaptability of the robot, and thus ensuring the consistency of processing quality.

[0038] The servo motor 103 transmits power to the grinding shaft 107 through the coupling 104. The grinding part 108 at the lower end of the grinding shaft 107 rotates with the shaft to realize the workpiece grinding operation. The telescopic dust cover 106 sleeved on the outer periphery of the damping spring shock absorber 101 prevents grinding dust from entering the shock absorption structure and ensures stable shock absorption performance.

[0039] During cooling, the external cooling medium is pumped to the inlet pipe 310 and then to the annular cooling pipe 301, and then sprayed out through multiple nozzles 302. If the spray angle needs to be adjusted, the arc block 308 is driven to slide axially along the outer peripheral wall of the dust removal pipe 201 by two first electric push rods 309. The arc block 308 drives the push rod 307 to move synchronously. The push rod 307 is rotatably connected to the movable ring 306, which in turn pushes the movable ring 306 to move axially. The connecting rod 305 drives the rotating rod 304 to deflect, which drives the nozzle 302 to rotate around the connection point, thereby realizing the adjustment of the cooling spray angle, improving the work efficiency and adapting to mass production scenarios.

[0040] The dust hood 105 is connected to the lower end of the dust removal pipe 201 by the connector 312 on the top support 311, enabling quick disassembly and maintenance. The multiple ball bearings 110 embedded on the bottom surface of the dust hood 105 can reduce the contact friction between it and the workpiece surface, making it easy to adjust the fitting position of the dust hood 105, which is convenient for grinding and dust removal of irregularly shaped workpieces. The second spring tube 109 can be easily adapted to the changes of the dust hood 105, ensuring the continuity of dust removal or auxiliary cooling.

[0041] Simultaneously, when the grinding shaft 107 rotates, it synchronously drives the dust suction fan 203 inside the dust removal pipe 201 to rotate, forming a negative pressure in the dust suction duct. The dust generated by grinding is sucked into the dust suction hood 105 and flows upward along the dust suction duct, and is discharged through the exhaust pipe 202. The air duct sealing ring 204 at the lower end of the dust suction fan 203 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the dust removal pipe 201, which reduces the impact of airflow leakage on dust suction efficiency. Its inclined top surface can guide the smooth flow of dust, reduce the accumulation of dust at the seal, improve dust collection efficiency, and reduce dust diffusion and environmental pollution.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
