Support device for thin-walled aluminum shell

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for workpiece processing, and more particularly to a support device for a thin-walled aluminum shell, comprising: a base and multiple floating support mechanisms. Each floating support mechanism includes: a first support rod, a second support rod, a spring, and a first locking member. The second support rod is inserted into and slidably connected to the first support rod. The spring is located within the first support rod, and its two ends are respectively connected to the first and second support rods. The first locking member passes through the first support rod and is threadedly connected to it. Because the second support rod can slide up and down relative to the first support rod, when supporting the thin-walled aluminum shell, the second support rod of each floating support mechanism can adaptively move up and down with the cooperation of the spring to adapt to different positions and heights of the support surface of the thin-walled aluminum shell, thus keeping the supported thin-walled aluminum shell horizontal and improving the processing accuracy of the thin-walled aluminum shell.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for workpiece processing, and in particular to a support device for a thin-walled aluminum shell. Background Technology

[0002] Thin-walled aluminum shells, as lightweight and high-strength structural components, are widely used in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and machinery industries. However, during processing, due to the low rigidity of aluminum, thin-walled structures are easily affected by cutting and clamping forces, making it difficult to guarantee dimensional accuracy. Therefore, we urgently need a support device for thin-walled aluminum shells to keep them stable and thus improve their processing accuracy.

[0003] Currently, workpiece support involves placing the workpiece on a support platform, which is usually horizontal (i.e., the height of each position on the support platform is consistent). However, because the support surface of the thin-walled aluminum shell is uneven, directly supporting it through the support platform will cause the thin-walled aluminum shell to tilt, making it impossible to place it tilted, which will affect the subsequent processing accuracy of the thin-walled aluminum shell. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the existing production technology, the applicant provides a support device for thin-walled aluminum shells. By improving the structure of the support device, it is possible to support thin-walled aluminum shells of different models and keep the supported thin-walled aluminum shells horizontal, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the thin-walled aluminum shells.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A support device for a thin-walled aluminum shell includes: a base and multiple floating support mechanisms connected to the base. The multiple floating support mechanisms collectively support the thin-walled aluminum shell, ensuring its horizontal placement. Each floating support mechanism includes: a first support rod, a second support rod, a spring, and a first locking member. The second support rod is inserted into and slidably connected to the first support rod. The spring is located within the first support rod, with both ends connected to the first and second support rods respectively. The first locking member passes through the first support rod and is threadedly connected to it. When the first locking member abuts against the second support rod, the second support rod cannot slide relative to the first support rod. When the first locking member is not abutting against the second support rod, the second support rod can slide relative to the first support rod.

[0007] Therefore, since the second support rod can slide up and down relative to the first support rod, when supporting the thin-walled aluminum shell, the second support rod of each floating support mechanism can adaptively move up and down with the help of the spring. Compared with the existing support method of supporting with a horizontal support platform, this method has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can adapt to the support surface of different positions and heights of the thin-walled aluminum shell, so that the supported thin-walled aluminum shell remains horizontal, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the thin-walled aluminum shell. In addition, the first locking member can lock the adjusted second support rod to ensure that the adjusted second support rod remains stable and no longer floats up and down, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the thin-walled aluminum shell.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a support plate is provided at the end of the second support rod away from the first support rod, and the support plate abuts against the thin-walled aluminum shell to support the thin-walled aluminum shell. Thus, the support plate expands the support area of ​​the entire floating support mechanism, making the support of the thin-walled aluminum shell more stable.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: two first locking members are provided, and the two first locking members are arranged opposite to each other. Therefore, a locking force is applied to the second support rod from two opposite directions, thus improving the locking effect of the second support rod and ensuring that the locked second support rod will not slide up and down relative to the first support rod.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the floating support mechanism further includes a limiting rod located inside the first support rod. One end of the limiting rod is connected to the first support rod, and the other end is inserted into the second support rod and slidably connected to it. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod. Therefore, the limiting rod ensures that the spring will not shift during compression and extension, thus ensuring that the spring can be reused repeatedly.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes: a clamping plate and an adjusting mechanism. The clamping plate is connected to the adjusting mechanism, and the adjusting mechanism is connected to the support plate. The adjusting mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the clamping plate and the first locking member. Thus, through the cooperation of the clamping plate and the support plate, the thin-walled aluminum shell can be clamped from both the top and bottom directions to ensure that the thin-walled aluminum shell remains stable and does not slide relative to the floating support mechanism. The adjusting mechanism allows for adjustment of the distance between the support plate and the clamping plate to accommodate thin-walled aluminum shells of different heights.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the adjustment mechanism includes a fixed block and a first adjusting rod. The fixed block is rotatably connected to the first locking member, and the first adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the fixed block. The first adjusting rod passes through the pressure plate and is threadedly connected to the pressure plate. Therefore, by rotating the first adjusting rod, the pressure plate can be moved closer to or further away from the support plate, thus adjusting the distance between the support plate and the pressure plate.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the fixing block and the first locking member are rotatably connected through the second locking member; when the second locking member is in a loosened state, the fixing block can rotate relative to the first locking member; when the second locking member is in a tightened state, the fixing block cannot rotate relative to the first locking member. Thus, initially, the support plate and the pressure plate are perpendicular to each other, and the pressure plate is located on the side of the support plate away from the thin-walled aluminum shell, providing sufficient space to place the thin-walled aluminum shell onto the support plate; when it is necessary to press the thin-walled aluminum shell, the pressure plate is rotated 90°, positioning it above the support plate.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a rubber pad is provided on the side of the clamping plate near the first locking member. Therefore, when the thin-walled aluminum shell is clamped, the rubber pad ensures that the clamping plate will not come into contact with the thin-walled aluminum shell, thus protecting the thin-walled aluminum shell and ensuring that it will not be damaged.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes: an adjustment part, wherein both of the first locking members are threadedly connected to the adjustment part, and the adjustment part is rotatably connected to the first support rod. The adjustment part is used to simultaneously drive the two first locking members to rotate, so that the two first locking members move towards each other or relative to each other. Thus, the position of the two first locking members relative to the second support rod can be adjusted simultaneously by the adjustment part, so as to achieve simultaneous locking or release of the second support rod by the two first locking members, thereby improving the support efficiency of the thin-walled aluminum shell.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the adjusting part includes a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a third bevel gear, and a second adjusting rod. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear, and the third bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear. The second bevel gear is threadedly connected to one of the first locking members, and the third bevel gear is threadedly connected to the other first locking member. The second adjusting rod passes through the first bevel gear and is rotatably connected to the first support rod. Therefore, by rotating the second adjusting rod, the first bevel gear is driven to rotate, causing the second and third bevel gears to rotate simultaneously. This enables the two first locking members to move towards each other or relative to each other.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] Because the second support rod can slide up and down relative to the first support rod, when supporting the thin-walled aluminum shell, the second support rod of each floating support mechanism can adaptively move up and down with the help of the spring. Compared with the existing support method of supporting with a horizontal support platform, this method has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can adapt to the support surface of different positions and heights of the thin-walled aluminum shell, so that the supported thin-walled aluminum shell remains horizontal, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the thin-walled aluminum shell. In addition, the first locking member can lock the adjusted second support rod to ensure that the adjusted second support rod remains stable and no longer floats up and down, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the thin-walled aluminum shell.

[0019] This utility model also has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. This utility model can expand the support area of ​​the entire floating support mechanism through the support plate, so as to make the thin-walled aluminum shell support more stable.

[0021] 2. This utility model, through the cooperation of the clamping plate and the support plate, can clamp the thin-walled aluminum shell from both the top and bottom directions to ensure that the thin-walled aluminum shell remains stable and will not slide relative to the floating support mechanism.

[0022] 3. This utility model can adjust the distance between the support plate and the pressing plate through the adjustment mechanism to accommodate thin-walled aluminum shells of different heights. In the initial state, the support plate and the pressing plate are perpendicular to each other, and the pressing plate is located on the side of the support plate away from the thin-walled aluminum shell. In this way, there is enough space to place the thin-walled aluminum shell on the support plate. When it is necessary to press the thin-walled aluminum shell, the pressing plate is rotated 90° so that the pressing plate is above the support plate. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 7The diagram shows the preferred embodiment of this utility model. The support device for the thin-walled aluminum shell in this embodiment includes: a base 1 and multiple floating support mechanisms 2. The floating support mechanisms 2 are connected to the base 1. The multiple floating support mechanisms 2 work together to support the thin-walled aluminum shell, ensuring its horizontal placement. Each floating support mechanism 2 includes: a first support rod 201, a second support rod 202, a spring 203, and a first locking member 204. The second support rod 202 is inserted into the first support rod 201 and slidably connected to it. The spring... Spring 203 is located inside the first support rod 201, and both ends of spring 203 are connected to the first support rod 201 and the second support rod 202 respectively. The first locking member 204 passes through the first support rod 201 and is threadedly connected to the first support rod 201. When the first locking member 204 abuts against the second support rod 202, the second support rod 202 cannot slide relative to the first support rod 201. When the first locking member 204 does not abut against the second support rod 202, the second support rod 202 can slide relative to the first support rod 201. Therefore, since the second support rod 202 can slide up and down relative to the first support rod 201, when supporting the thin-walled aluminum shell, with the cooperation of the spring 203, the second support rod 202 of each floating support mechanism 2 can adaptively move up and down. Compared with the existing support method of supporting with a horizontal support platform, this method has a simple structure and is easy to operate, so as to adapt to the support surface of different positions and heights of the thin-walled aluminum shell, so that the supported thin-walled aluminum shell remains horizontal, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the thin-walled aluminum shell. In addition, the first locking member 204 can lock the adjusted second support rod 202 to ensure that the adjusted second support rod 202 remains stable and no longer floats up and down, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the thin-walled aluminum shell.

[0040] For example, the first locking element 204 uses a bolt.

[0041] In this embodiment, a support plate 205 is provided at the end of the second support rod 202 away from the first support rod 201. The support plate 205 abuts against the thin-walled aluminum shell to support the thin-walled aluminum shell. Two first locking members 204 are provided, and the two first locking members 204 are arranged opposite to each other. The floating support mechanism 2 also includes: a limiting rod 206, which is located inside the first support rod 201. One end of the limiting rod 206 is connected to the first support rod 201, and the other end of the limiting rod 206 is inserted into the second support rod 202 and slidably connected to the second support rod 202. A spring 203 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 206. It also includes: an adjusting part 207, where both first locking members 204 are threadedly connected to the adjusting part 207. The adjusting part 207 is connected to the first support rod 201. The rod 201 is rotatably connected, and the adjusting part 207 is used to simultaneously drive the two first locking members 204 to rotate, so that the two first locking members 204 move towards each other or relative to each other; the adjusting part 207 includes: a first bevel gear 2071, a second bevel gear 2072, a third bevel gear 2073 and a second adjusting rod 2074. The second bevel gear 2072 meshes with the first bevel gear 2071, the third bevel gear 2073 meshes with the first bevel gear 2071, the second bevel gear 2072 is threadedly connected to one of the first locking members 204, the third bevel gear 2073 is threadedly connected to the other first locking member 204, and the second adjusting rod 2074 passes through the first bevel gear 2071 and is rotatably connected to the first support rod 201. Therefore, the support plate 205 can expand the support area of ​​the entire floating support mechanism 2, making the thin-walled aluminum shell support more stable; applying locking force to the second support rod 202 from two opposite directions can improve the locking effect of the second support rod 202, ensuring that the locked second support rod 202 will not slide up and down relative to the first support rod 201; the limiting rod 206 can ensure that the spring 203 will not deviate during compression and extension, thus ensuring that the spring 203 can be reused repeatedly; by adjusting Part 207 can simultaneously adjust the position of the two first locking members 204 relative to the second support rod 202, so as to enable the two first locking members 204 to simultaneously lock the second support rod 202 or simultaneously release the second support rod 202, thereby improving the support efficiency of the thin-walled aluminum shell; by rotating the second adjusting rod 2074, the first bevel gear 2071 is driven to rotate, so that the second bevel gear 2072 and the third bevel gear 2073 rotate simultaneously, thus enabling the two first locking members 204 to move towards each other or relative to each other.

[0042] In this embodiment, it further includes: a pressing plate 3 and an adjusting mechanism 4. The pressing plate 3 is connected to the adjusting mechanism 4, and the adjusting mechanism 4 is connected to the support plate 205. The adjusting mechanism 4 is used to adjust the distance between the pressing plate 3 and the first locking member 204. The adjusting mechanism 4 includes: a fixing block 401 and a first adjusting rod 402. The fixing block 401 is rotatably connected to the first locking member 204, and the first adjusting rod 402 is rotatably connected to the fixing block 401. The first adjusting rod 402 passes through the pressing plate 3 and is threadedly connected to the pressing plate 3. The fixing block 401 and the first locking member 204 are rotatably connected through a second locking member 5. When the second locking member 5 is in a loose state, the fixing block 401 can rotate relative to the first locking member 204. When the second locking member 5 is in a tight state, the fixing block 401 cannot rotate relative to the first locking member 204. A rubber pad 301 is provided on the side of the pressing plate 3 near the first locking member 204. Therefore, through the cooperation of the clamping plate 3 and the support plate 205, the thin-walled aluminum shell can be clamped from both the top and bottom directions to ensure its stability and prevent it from sliding relative to the floating support mechanism 2. The adjustment mechanism 4 allows for adjustment of the distance between the support plate 205 and the clamping plate 3 to accommodate thin-walled aluminum shells of different heights. By rotating the first adjusting rod 402, the clamping plate 3 can be moved closer to or further away from the support plate 205, thus adjusting the distance between the support plate 205 and the clamping plate 3. Figure 7 As shown, in the initial state, the support plate 205 and the clamping plate 3 are perpendicular to each other, and the clamping plate 3 is located on the side of the support plate 205 away from the thin-walled aluminum shell. This provides sufficient space to place the thin-walled aluminum shell onto the support plate 205. Figure 6 As shown, when it is necessary to press the thin-walled aluminum shell, the pressing plate 3 is rotated 90° and positioned above the support plate 205. When pressing the thin-walled aluminum shell, the rubber pad 301 ensures that the pressing plate 3 will not come into contact with the thin-walled aluminum shell, thus protecting the thin-walled aluminum shell and ensuring that it will not be damaged.

[0043] For example, the second locking component 5 uses two parts: a bolt and a nut.

[0044] Specifically, when the nut is in contact with the fixing block 401, the fixing block 401 cannot rotate relative to the support plate 205; when the nut is not in contact with the fixing block 401, the fixing block 401 can rotate relative to the support plate 205.

[0045] The supporting process of the thin-walled aluminum shell of this utility model is as follows: First, the first locking member 204 does not lock the second support rod 202, and the support plate 205 and the pressing plate 3 are perpendicular to each other (e.g., Figure 7As shown, the thin-walled aluminum shell to be supported is placed on the support plate 205. Under the weight of the thin-walled aluminum shell, the second support rod 202 slides relative to the first support rod 201 to ensure that the thin-walled aluminum shell remains horizontal. Next, the second adjusting rod 2074 is rotated, and with the cooperation of the first bevel gear 2071, the second bevel gear 2072, and the third bevel gear 2073, the two first locking members 204 move relative to each other, thereby moving the first locking members 204 closer to the second support rod 202. In this way, the first locking members 204 lock the second support rod 202 to ensure that the second support rod 202 no longer slides relative to the first support rod 201. Finally, the second locking member 5 rotates the pressure plate 3 by 90° so that the support plate 205 and the pressure plate 3 are parallel to each other (as shown). Figure 6 (As shown), then rotate the first adjusting rod 402 so that the pressing plate 3 moves towards the side closer to the support plate 205 until the rubber pad 301 is in contact with the thin-walled aluminum shell. The support plate 205 and the pressing plate 3 jointly support the thin-walled aluminum shell to ensure that the thin-walled aluminum shell does not slide relative to the floating support mechanism 2.

[0046] In summary, because the second support rod 202 of this utility model can slide up and down relative to the first support rod 201, when supporting the thin-walled aluminum shell, the second support rod 202 of each floating support mechanism 2 can adaptively move up and down with the cooperation of the spring 203. Compared with the existing support method of supporting with a horizontal support platform, this method has a simple structure and is easy to operate, so as to adapt to the support surface of different positions and heights of the thin-walled aluminum shell, so that the supported thin-walled aluminum shell remains horizontal, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the thin-walled aluminum shell. In addition, the first locking member 204 can lock the adjusted second support rod 202 to ensure that the adjusted second support rod 202 remains stable and no longer floats up and down, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the thin-walled aluminum shell.

[0047] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification may be made.
