Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to create an automated cutting tool manufacturing device that specifies cutting tool characteristics, including material composition and shape, while minimizing human intervention and error throughout the manufacturing process.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The need for automatic cutting tool manufacturing has become increasingly important in modern industries due to the rising demand for precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Automated means offer enhanced consistency and accuracy in the production of cutting tools, ensuring that each tool meets strict quality standards and performs optimally during machining operations. These automated processes reduce human error, minimize material waste, and improve the overall speed of production. As industries such as automotive, aerospace, and metalworking require tools with complex geometries and sharp tolerances, automation enables the use of technologies like CNC machines, robotics, and AI-driven to meet these needs. Additionally, automatic manufacturing processes are capable of operating continuously, reducing downtime and increasing throughput, which is critical for meeting high-volume production requirements.

[0003] Traditional methods of manufacturing cutting tools, such as manual machining, grinding, and casting, have been widely used for decades but come with several significant drawbacks. These methods often rely heavily on skilled labor to achieve the desired precision, which lead to inconsistencies due to human error. Manual processes are also time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in slower production rates and higher costs, especially when high volumes of tools are required. Additionally, traditional machining techniques are limited in their ability to produce complex geometries or intricate designs, making them less suitable for modern manufacturing demands where precision and complexity are crucial. The wear and tear on equipment in traditional methods lead to frequent maintenance, increasing downtime and affecting production efficiency. Another drawback is the high material waste generated during manual cutting or grinding, contributing to higher operational costs and environmental concerns. Furthermore, traditional methods typically lack the integration of advanced technologies such as real-time data analysis or automation, which hinder the optimization of production processes and quality control. As industries evolve towards greater efficiency, these traditional manufacturing techniques struggle to keep up with the pace of innovation, making them less competitive compared to modern, automated manufacturing systems.

[0023] The present invention relates to an automated cutting tool manufacturing device to incorporate quality control measures combined with post-manufacturing enhancements such as defect detection, shaping regulation, and tool sharpening, to ensure the final product meets desired specifications and is ready for use without imperfections.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an automated cutting tool manufacturing device is illustrated, comprising of a housing 101 positioned over a ground surface and mapped with a touch interactive display panel 102, a pair of chamber 103 arranged within the housing 101, an primary electronic valve 104 installed beneath each of the chamber 103, a mixing container 105 arranged beneath the chamber 103, a motorized grinder 106 installed within the container 105, a motorized conveyor 107 arranged beneath the container 105 and arranged with plurality of molds 108, a secondary electronic valve 109 is installed at bottom portion of the container 105, plurality of plates 110 configured with the pusher 111 each by means of a hydraulic link 112.

[0025] Figure 1 further illustrates an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 113 installed within the housing 101, a robotic arm 114 installed within the housing 101, a vacuum unit 115 configured with the receptacle 116, a receptacle 116 arranged within the housing 101, a motorized flap 117 hinged with the receptacle 116, nitrogen cylinder 118 arranged within the housing 101, a robotic gripper 119 installed within the housing 101 a speaker 120 installed over the housing 101 and a motorized grinding stone 121 installed within housing 101.

[0026] The device disclosed herein includes a housing 101, which is developed to be positioned securely over a ground surface, providing a stable base for the entire manufacturing process. The housing 101 acts as a containment and support structure for the internal components, ensuring that all parts work in sync and are protected from external environmental factors that interfere with the manufacturing process. The housing 101 is equipped with a touch interactive display panel 102, which serves as the user interface for controlling and operating the device. The display panel 102 allows the user to provide specific input regarding the manufacturing process of the cutting tool, including the type of material, in this case, aluminum oxide and copper powder, and the desired shape of the tool. Through this display panel 102, the user interacts with the device by specifying the size, design, and other characteristics of the cutting tool. The user input is then processed by a microcontroller, which links to the various components of the device to automate the tool manufacturing.

[0027] Inside the housing 101, there are two chamber 103, each developed to store the raw materials necessary for making the cutting tool such as aluminum oxide and copper powder. The aluminum oxide and copper powder are selected for their material properties, which are crucial for the cutting tool's performance, durability, and sharpness. These chamber 103 are placed within the housing 101 to ensure ease of access and proper functionality during the dispensing process. The chamber 103 are securely sealed to maintain the purity of the raw materials and to avoid contamination during the manufacturing process.

[0028] A primary electronic valve 104 beneath each of the chamber 103 that house the aluminum oxide and copper powder. These valve 104 regulate the flow of raw materials from the chamber 103 into the mixing container 105, where the powders are combined to form the mixture necessary for the manufacturing of the cutting tool. The common starting ratio for cutting tools is around 70-80% aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) and 20-30% copper (Cu) by weight The primary electronic valve 104 are positioned directly under each storage chamber 103 and are developed to open and close based on commands received from the microcontroller. The electronic valve 104 are not manually operated but are actuated by the microcontroller that is connected to the touch interactive display panel 102. The user, through the display panel 102, specifies the desired quantity and proportions of aluminum oxide and copper powder needed for the cutting tool. The microcontroller, after receiving the input, sends signals to the electronic valve 104 to open and release the precise amounts of aluminum oxide and copper powder into the mixing container 105 below.

[0029] The mixing container 105 is located directly beneath the chamber 103, and it is where the two powders are combined. This container 105 is not just a static holding vessel but is equipped with a motorized grinder 106 that aids in blending the aluminum oxide and copper powder into a homogeneous mixture. The grinder 106 is powered by a motor that is activated once the correct amounts of the two powders are dispensed. The motorized grinder 106 is developed to mix the powders thoroughly, ensuring that there are no clumps or uneven distributions of the materials.

[0030] A well-mixed batch is essential for the production of a high-quality cutting tool, as inconsistent mixing lead to weak spots or flaws in the final product. The grinder 106 works by using a set of rotating blades that stir and blend the powders together. As the grinder 106 rotates, it ensures that the aluminum oxide and copper powder are evenly distributed, breaking down any larger particles and ensuring that both materials are fully integrated into one uniform mixture. The speed and duration of the grinder 106’s operation are controlled by the microcontroller, which adjusts these parameters based on the properties of the powders and the requirements of the tool being manufactured. By precisely controlling the grinder’s operation, the device ensure that the mixture reaches the desired consistency and is ready for the next stage in the manufacturing process.

[0031] A motorized conveyor 107 is arranged beneath the mixing container 105 and is equipped with a series of molds 108 that are adjusted to align with the shape specified by the user. The user input for the desired shape and size of the cutting tool is entered through the touch interactive display panel 102, which is connected to the microcontroller. Based on this input, the microcontroller directs the conveyor 107 to select and position the appropriate mold beneath the mixing container 105 for the next phase of the tool manufacturing process.

[0032] The motorized conveyor 107 is developed to move the molds 108 with high precision, ensuring that each mold is correctly aligned beneath the container 105 for the dispensing of the mixed powder. This allows for a wide range of mold shapes and sizes to be accommodated, providing flexibility in the production of various cutting tools. The conveyor 107 operates using motors that drive belts to move the molds 108 along a track, with each mold being placed at a specific position to receive the mixture from the container 105. The molds 108 are typically developed to fit the precise shape and dimensions needed for the cutting tool, which is crucial to ensuring that the final product meets the specifications set by the user.

[0033] Once the correct mold is in position, the next step involves the dispensing of the powder mixture into the mold. This is accomplished through the operation of a secondary electronic valve 109 installed at the bottom of the mixing container 105. The secondary valve 109 is responsible for releasing the homogeneous mixture of aluminum oxide and copper powder into the mold, ensuring that the right amount of material is dispensed without overfilling or under filling the mold. The amount of powder dispensed is controlled by the microcontroller, which receives real-time data about the material quantity and ensures the precise dispensing of the mixture. By doing so, the device ensures that the molds 108 are filled evenly, which is essential for producing a uniform cutting tool with the desired properties and dimensions.

[0034] Once the mixture is dispensed into the mold, the conveyor 107 continues to move the mold into position beneath a hydraulic pusher 111 by means of link 112. The hydraulic pusher 111, which is mounted at the ceiling portion of the housing 101, is used to apply pressure and shape the material in the mold. The microcontroller controls the movement of the conveyor 107 to ensure that the mold is precisely placed under the hydraulic pusher 111. The pusher 111 uses hydraulic pressure to apply a controlled force onto the material in the mold, shaping the mixture into the desired tool shape.

[0035] The hydraulic pusher 111 is equipped with a set of hydraulic plates 110, each of which extend or retract based on commands from the microcontroller. These plates 110 work together to apply a consistent and controlled amount of force to the dispensed mixture in the mold. The pressure exerted by the pusher 111 helps to compact and shape the material, ensuring that it takes on the correct form. The force applied by the pusher 111 is monitored by force sensors, integrated into the plates 110, which feed data back to the microcontroller. This real-time feedback ensures that the pressure applied is within the optimal range for molding the mixture and forming the cutting tool. By carefully regulating the amount of pressure and the molding process, the device ensures that the shaped mixture is consistent and uniform, with no air pockets or weak spots that compromise the strength and functionality of the cutting tool.

[0036] The microcontroller, which is linked to the touch interactive display panel 102, receives input from the user regarding the shape of the cutting tool to be produced. Based on this input, the microcontroller then directs the hydraulic pusher 111 to extend or retract the hydraulic plates 110 in a manner that ensures the material in the mold is compressed uniformly.

[0037] The plates 110 are developed to move in a synchronized manner, with each plate being controlled to extend or retract based on the specific requirements of the molding process. The microcontroller ensures that the force applied by each plate is distributed evenly and in accordance with the shape of the mold. This is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the cutting tool’s design and ensuring that the mixture fills the mold evenly. The extended plates 110 push down on the dispensed powder mixture, compacting it to form a solid, well-shaped cutting tool. The controlled movement of the plates 110 ensures that the material is compressed to the correct density, eliminating air pockets and inconsistencies that could affect the performance of the final tool.

[0038] In addition to controlling the movement of the hydraulic plates 110, the microcontroller also monitors the force applied by the plates 110 through the integration of force sensors. Each hydraulic plate is equipped with a force sensor that continuously measures the amount of pressure exerted on the mixture. These sensors provide real-time feedback to the microcontroller, which adjusts the movement of the hydraulic plates 110 as needed to maintain the correct amount of pressure. The feedback loop between the force sensors and the microcontroller ensures that the pressure is applied within a threshold range, which is critical to ensuring that the tool is properly shaped without being over- or under-compressed.

[0039] The force applied by the hydraulic pusher 111 is essential for achieving the right consistency and shape in the cutting tool. Too little pressure result in an under-formed or loosely compacted tool, while too much pressure causes the mixture to become overly dense or even damage the mold. The force sensors integrated with each plate continuously monitor the pressure and provide feedback to the microcontroller, ensuring that the right balance is maintained throughout the shaping process.

[0040] Once the desired shape is achieved through the controlled force applied by the hydraulic pusher 111, the shaping process is complete, and the microcontroller moves on to the next stage of the manufacturing cycle. This involves the transfer of the shaped tool from the mold for further processing or bonding. Herein, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based imaging unit 113 is installed within the housing 101 and works in conjunction with a processor and microcontroller to capture, analyze, and process real-time images of the mold containing the shaped mixture of aluminum oxide and copper powder. The imaging unit 113 assess the shaping of the mixture inside the mold, ensuring that it adheres to the user-specified design specifications.

[0041] Once the mixture is dispensed into the mold and subjected to the shaping force applied by the hydraulic pusher 111, the AI-based imaging unit 113 activates to capture high-resolution images of the molded mixture. The imaging unit 113 typically comprises high-definition camera that are capable of producing detailed images of the mold’s contents. The processor associated with the imaging unit 113 processes these images to identify the current state of the mixture, specifically focusing on the uniformity, density, and overall shape in comparison to the intended design. The device employs AI protocol to analyze the captured images and detect any inconsistencies or discrepancies between the molded mixture and the user-defined tool shape.

[0042] Based on the analyzed images, the microcontroller determines whether the mixture is shaped accurately according to the mold’s intended specifications. If the shape is found to be accurate and meets the predefined standards, the microcontroller triggers the next steps in the manufacturing process. However, if the AI imaging unit 113 identifies any deviations such as misalignment, under-pressurization, or inconsistencies in density the microcontroller automatically adjusts the shaping parameters, including reactivating the hydraulic plates 110 to further compress or redistribute the mixture within the mold, or even prompting a re-shaping cycle if needed

[0043] Once the mixture is confirmed to be shaped correctly and meets the desired specifications, the microcontroller proceeds to instruct a robotic arm 114, which is also installed within the housing 101. The robotic arm 114 is responsible for carefully withdrawing the shaped mixture from the mold. This action is facilitated by a suction unit, which is integrated with the robotic arm 114's ram. The suction unit creates a vacuum that securely grips the shaped mixture without damaging it, allowing the robotic arm 114 to lift and remove the mixture from the mold with precision. The suction unit handles delicate or intricate tool shapes, ensuring that the formed cutting tool remains intact as it is transferred from the mold to the next phase of the manufacturing process.

[0044] Once the molded mixture is successfully removed, the robotic arm 114 moves the shaped tool to a receptacle 116 positioned within the housing 101. The device is developed to efficiently and precisely regulate the environment within the receptacle 116, creating ideal conditions for the bonding process while preventing any unwanted exposure to oxygen or moisture that could affect the final product. A motorized flap 117 that is hinged with the receptacle 116 to securely close the receptacle 116 once the shaped mixture is transferred into it by the robotic arm 114. The flap 117 is actuated by a motor, which is controlled by the microcontroller based on the progression of the manufacturing process. When the shaped mixture is placed in the receptacle 116, the motorized flap 117 automatically activates to seal the receptacle 116. This serves several purposes as this isolates the tool from external contaminants, prevents air from interfering with the bonding process, and sets the stage for the controlled environment necessary for the next steps in the process.

[0045] Once the receptacle 116 is securely sealed by the motorized flap 117, the device proceeds to evacuate the air inside the receptacle 116 using a vacuum unit 115. This vacuum unit 115 is responsible for withdrawing air from the sealed receptacle 116 to create a low-pressure atmosphere. The removal of air, and consequently the reduction of oxygen, is a critical part of the bonding process, especially when certain bonding materials or processes are sensitive to oxygen or moisture. By creating a vacuum within the receptacle 116, the device prevents any unwanted chemical reactions that compromise the strength, consistency, or quality of the bond during the curing or bonding phase.

[0046] In parallel to the vacuum process, nitrogen gas is introduced into the receptacle 116 to further regulate the atmosphere inside. A nitrogen cylinder 118 is placed within the housing 101 and connected to the receptacle 116 via a tertiary electronic valve. The nitrogen gas serves to displace any remaining oxygen or air within the receptacle 116 and helps to create an inert atmosphere that is more suitable for the bonding process. Nitrogen is chosen because it is an inert gas which means that this reacts with the materials in the receptacle 116, thus preventing oxidation or contamination. This controlled nitrogen atmosphere is especially important when bonding materials like aluminum oxide and copper powder, as it ensures the mixture remains stable and does not undergo any undesirable reactions that affect the tool's integrity.

[0047] The tertiary valve is developed to regulate the flow of nitrogen gas into the receptacle 116, ensuring that a precise amount is dispensed. The microcontroller is pre-fed to open the valve and release a specific quantity of nitrogen gas based on the requirements of the bonding process. This regulation is essential for maintaining a consistent and controlled environment within the receptacle 116, where the temperature, pressure, and gas composition are optimized for the curing and bonding of the shaped mixture

[0048] As the nitrogen is dispensed into the sealed receptacle 116, it fills the space, displacing any remaining air or oxygen. The vacuum unit 115 continues to operate in tandem with the nitrogen gas release to ensure that the pressure within the receptacle 116 is appropriately regulated. The combination of the vacuum and nitrogen helps maintain an optimal low-oxygen environment, which is necessary for the bonding process to occur without interference from the external atmosphere. This process also helps prevent the degradation of the shaped mixture and ensures that the final cutting tool has the strength, durability, and consistency required for its intended use

[0049] After the shaped mixture is enclosed in the receptacle 116 and the controlled environment is established, the device uses a set of heating units to facilitate the bonding of the shaped mixture into a solid, durable tool. These heating units are critical for ensuring that the mixture reaches the appropriate temperature for bonding and curing, solidifying into the final cutting tool. The heating units are installed within the receptacle 116 and are directly controlled by the microcontroller. The microcontroller is pre-fed to activate the heating units based on a pre-set time and temperature parameters, ensuring that the heating process is carefully managed. These parameters are determined by the type of materials being used and the desired properties of the final tool. The heating units are developed to provide consistent and controlled heat, evenly distributed throughout the receptacle 116 to ensure uniform bonding across the entire shaped mixture. The temperature settings and the duration of the heating process are crucial in ensuring the right degree of bonding without causing the mixture to burn or degrade.

[0050] When the microcontroller actuates the heating units, the receptacle 116 is heated to a specific temperature for a pre-determined time. This controlled heating causes the shaped mixture to undergo the necessary physical and chemical changes that allow it to bond together, solidifying into a cohesive cutting tool. The purpose of this heating step is to ensure that the aluminum oxide and copper powder in the mixture fuse together and form a solid, uniform structure. The heat helps to activate the bonding agents or catalysts within the mixture, leading to the formation of a strong and durable cutting tool. The temperature is carefully monitored to prevent overheating, which lead to material degradation or uneven bonding, which is critical in ensuring the final tool performs to specifications.

[0051] Once the bonding process is complete, the microcontroller signals the next step which is the extraction of the finished tool from the receptacle 116. A robotic gripper 119 installed within the housing 101 is responsible for this task to safely and efficiently withdraw the now-bonded tool from the receptacle 116. The robotic gripper 119 is precisely controlled by the microcontroller, which directs it to grasp the newly formed tool carefully to avoid damaging or disturbing its structure.

[0052] After the manufactured tool is extracted from the receptacle 116, the next stage is the sharpening process, where a motorized grinding stone 121 installed within the housing 101 and is activated by the microcontroller to sharpen the edges of the manufactured cutting tool. The sharpness of the tool is essential for its functionality, and the grinding stone ensures that the edges are honed to the desired sharpness with precision. The motorized grinding stone 121 is positioned and calibrated to target specific areas of the cutting tool, such as the edges, where the tool's sharpness is most important. The microcontroller directs the grinding stone's movement, allowing it to move along the edges of the tool with controlled pressure and speed. The device is developed to apply just the right amount of force to sharpen the tool effectively without over-grinding, which damage the tool or affect its functionality.

[0053] A moisture sensor integrated with the container 105 continuously monitors the moisture level of the mixture containing aluminum oxide and copper powder. This sensor detects the amount of moisture present in the mixture, ensuring that the consistency of the material remains optimal for the subsequent manufacturing processes. If the moisture level exceeds a predefined threshold, indicating that the mixture has become too damp, the microcontroller is triggered. In response, the microcontroller activates a nichrome wire, which is installed within the container 105. The nichrome wire generates heat, which serves to evaporate the excess moisture from the mixture, effectively drying it out to maintain the desired material properties. This process ensures that the mixture remains in the proper consistency, preventing any issues related to moisture that affect the quality or integrity of the final cutting tool

[0054] A vibration unit integrated with each mold to ensure that the mixture of aluminum oxide and copper powder is evenly and appropriately distributed within the mold. When the mixture is dispensed into the mold, the vibration unit is activated to apply controlled vibrations to the mold. These vibrations help to break up any air pockets, eliminate clumping, and ensure that the mixture settles uniformly across the entire mold surface. This process facilitates a smooth, even distribution of the material, ensuring that every section of the mold is filled evenly and preventing inconsistencies in the final shape of the cutting tool. The uniformity in material distribution is essential for achieving precise shaping and bonding during the later stages of the manufacturing process, contributing to the overall quality and integrity of the finished tool.

[0055] A weight sensor integrated into each of the chamber 103 to monitor the amount of aluminum oxide and copper powder stored in the chamber 103. These sensors are highly sensitive and capable of detecting even small changes in weight, ensuring that the quantities of materials are accurately tracked throughout the manufacturing process. As the materials are dispensed into the mixing container 105, the weight sensor continuously measures the amount remaining in the chamber 103, comparing it to the predetermined threshold values set for optimal material usage. This monitoring function is crucial for maintaining consistent material flow and ensuring that the correct proportions of aluminum oxide and copper powder are always available for the mixing process.

[0056] If the weight of the materials in the chamber 103 falls below the threshold value, signaling that the material is running low, the microcontroller is alerted. The microcontroller then activates a speaker 120 installed within the housing 101 to produce a voice command, notifying the user that the chamber 103 needs to be refilled. This audio feedback serves as a real-time alert to prevent disruptions in the manufacturing process, allowing the user to take immediate action and replenish the materials before they run out completely.

[0057] A temperature sensor installed within the receptacle 116 for maintaining the optimal temperature during the bonding process of the shaped mixture. It continuously monitors the internal temperature of the receptacle 116 where the mixture is placed for bonding. If the sensor detects that the temperature deviates from the pre-set threshold, indicating a potential risk of uneven heating or insufficient bonding conditions, the microcontroller is triggered to take corrective action. The microcontroller then activates the heating elements within the receptacle 116 to regulate the temperature, ensuring that it remains within the desired range. This control of temperature prevents the formation of thermal gradients, which cause issues such as cracks, warping, or inconsistent bonding of the material. By maintaining a consistent temperature, the device ensures that the mixture is uniformly heated, allowing for proper fusion and strengthening of the material, thereby enhancing the quality and durability of the final cutting tool.

[0058] An X-ray scanning unit integrated into the housing 101 for quality control by detecting any internal defects or inconsistencies in the manufactured tool. Once the tool is shaped, bonded, and is ready for inspection, the robotic gripper 119, which is also housed within the device, retrieves the manufactured tool and places it into the X-ray scanning unit for thorough examination. The X-ray scanning unit emits a controlled X-ray beam through the tool, capturing images of the internal structure. These images are then processed by a built-in imaging unit 113, which analyzes the tool for any potential flaws such as cracks, voids, or other imperfections that compromise the tool’s performance and durability.

[0059] The results of the X-ray scan are fed to the microcontroller, which compares them against preset standards or thresholds for acceptable quality. If any defects are found that affect the tool's functionality or safety, the microcontroller prompts the device to activate the speaker 120, which then issues a voice notification to alert the user about the detected issues. This notification helps the user to make informed decisions regarding the tool’s usability or whether it needs to be reworked or discarded, ensuring that only high-quality, defect-free cutting tools are used in production processes

[0060] Lastly, a battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.

[0061] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the housing 101 as disclosed in the invention is developed to be positioned over the ground surface as disclosed in the proposed invention. The user provide input through the touch interactive display. The user specifies the desired shape and material of the cutting tool, and the device begins by dispensing aluminum oxide and copper powder from two chamber 103 into the mixing container 105, regulated by electronic valve 104 controlled by the microcontroller. The motorized grinder 106 mixes the powders to create homogeneous mixture. The conveyor 107 then positions the appropriate mold beneath the container 105, and the secondary valve 109 dispenses the mixture into the mold. The mixture is shaped by hydraulic plates 110 that apply controlled pressure, monitored by force sensors, to ensure the proper form. An AI-based imaging unit 113 captures the shape of the mixture, which is processed by the microcontroller to verify the shaping. If the mixture is correctly shaped, the robotic arm 114 with the suction unit withdraws it from the mold and places it in the receptacle 116. The receptacle 116 is sealed with the motorized flap 117, and the vacuum removes air while nitrogen gas is introduced to create the controlled environment. Heating units bond the mixture into the solid tool. The finished tool is then removed by the robotic gripper 119, sharpened with the grinding stone 121, and an X-ray scanner checks for defects. If defects are detected, the device notifies the user.
