Abstract

The workpiece deburring equipment consists of a deburring machine, which captures workpieces as they flow through the conveyor track. Workpieces on the track are grasped by the workpiece picker of the deburring machine and transported to the deburring machine for deburring. This is done by spraying a powdered material, derived from a previous machining process and of the same type as the workpiece, onto the workpiece surface. The deburred workpieces are then transferred to a conveyor track for further processing. Rollers are installed to move the workpiece to the desired deburring position on the conveyor track.

Each side of the metal frame is fitted with a rectangular shield (113), and the front is fitted with a rectangular front cover (114) with a through-hole for receiving workpieces from the workpiece picker (12), which is controlled by a control box (15) for bringing workpieces into the machine. On one of the outer sides, an adjustment mechanism (14) is fitted to the upper adjustment plate (115) and the lower adjustment plate (116) to adjust the height of the workpiece picker (12) installed inside the deburring machine (1) to suit the size of the workpieces being brought into the deburring process. The metal powder container (131) is installed inside the deburring machine (1), with a sliding rail (141) connecting the frame (111) to the metal powder container (131), which is height adjustable by a leveling mechanism (14) operated by a bevel gear (145) coupled to the helical shaft (146) driven by a shaft support (147) connecting the metal powder container (131) to the helical shaft (146) to move vertically up and down. Inside the metal powder container (131), at least an upper metal powder injection device (132) and a lower metal powder injection device (133) and an air blower (134) are installed for deburring and cleaning the workpiece before further processing. The metal spraying or air blowing is controlled by a control box (15) installed inside the metal powder container (131). 2. The deburring device, according to claim 1, where the leveling section (14) is provided with a handle (142) which is a type of handle attached to one end of a metal rod and the other end of the rod is connected to the end of the leveling shaft (143), the other end of the leveling shaft (143) passes through a joint (144) mounted on the lower leveling plate (116) to connect to a bevel gear (145) which is coupled to a bolted shaft (146) which is used to adjust the height of the powder container (131) by driving the shaft support (147) which connects the powder container (131) to the bolted shaft (146) to move up and down vertically, and there is a sliding rail (141) mounted inside the deburring device (1) to the column of the frame (111) for connecting the frame (111) to the powder container (131). 3. Workpiece deburring device, as per claim 1, where the workpiece picking section (12) is provided with a motor (121) mounted on a motor base (117) which is a hollow rectangular box with an opening on at least one side. The motor base (117) is mounted on a metal powder collection box (131) which is a hollow rectangular box with a rectangular opening on the front and an opening at the bottom connected to an inverted cone on the rectangular base. The motor (121) mounted on the motor base (117) is connected at the bottom to a rotating shaft (122) which is a solid cylindrical shaft that passes through the motor base (117) to connect to a bearing shaft (124) mounted inside the motor base (117) and passes through the motor base (117) down into a bushing (123) which is a hollow cylindrical tube with a flange at the top end. The flange of the bushing (123) is mounted on the powder metallurgy box (131), and the cylindrical tube passes through the powder metallurgy box (131), with the other end of the bearing shaft (124) passing through the bushing (123) connected to the mounting plate (125), which is fitted with at least four workpiece clamps (134) around the mounting plate (125) for picking up workpieces from the conveyor rail (2). 4. Workpiece deburring device, in accordance with claim 1, where the frame (111) shall be provided with the installation of at least four additional casters (112) on the underside of the frame (111). 5. Workpiece deburring device, in accordance with Requisition 1, where the shield (113) and front cover (114) are provided with a choice of materials of either metal or glass, or a combination of both. 6. Workpiece deburring device, as per claim 1, where the metal powder box (131) is provided to have an additional rail cover (118) installed in front of the metal powder box (131). 7. Workpiece deburring device, pursuant to claim 1, where the workpiece clamp (134) is provided with a pneumatic system that controls the clamping or release of the workpiece, which controls the flow of fluid from the control box (15). 8. Workpiece deburring device, as per claim 1 or 7, where the control box (15) is provided to be connected to the motor (121) or the fluid compressor via at least a conductor. 9. The deburring process consists of: workpiece capture (31), where the workpiece capturer (119) captures workpieces moving on the conveyor rail (2) and moves them to a position where the workpiece clamp (134) can pick them up; workpiece pick-up (32), where the workpiece clamp (134) picks up the workpiece via commands from the control box (15) which controls the flow of fluid within the pneumatic fluid pipe, and then moves it to a position where the upper metal powder injection device (132) can spray the metal powder; top deburring (33), where the upper metal powder injection device (132) draws the metal powder from the powder contained in the lower chamber of the deburring machine (1) and sprays the metal powder onto the top of the workpiece, and then moves it to a position where the lower metal powder injection device (133) can spray the metal powder; and bottom deburring (34), where the lower metal powder injection device (133) draws the metal powder. From the powder that is loaded in the lower chamber of the deburring machine (1), the metal powder is sprayed onto the underside of the workpiece and then moved to a position where the air blower (134) can blow air. The cleaning air blower (35) is provided by the air blower (134) to blow air from the top of the workpiece to clean it. The workpiece is then moved to a position above the conveyor (2) and then released onto the conveyor (2) to proceed to the next process. 10. The deburring process under claim 7, where top deburring (33) or bottom deburring (34) is provided for the use of a type of metal powder identical to that of the workpiece to be sprayed onto the workpiece for deburring.
