Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of titanium alloy plate processing, in particular to a clamping device. Background Art

[0002] Due to the light weight of titanium alloy, unique metallic luster and good elasticity, there is a trend of titanium alloy replacing aluminum alloy. The size of titanium alloy cards for 3C is comparable to the size of credit cards circulating on the market. Since titanium alloy cards need to be processed into finished products by CNC machining centers, titanium alloy cards have very high requirements on the unevenness of the plate.

[0003] The existing production process uses punching to cut titanium alloy strips into plates of certain specifications. During the cutting process, the edge stress generated by the titanium alloy edge under the action of the cutting machine causes the plate to deform. Therefore, it is necessary to press and straighten the plate at a certain temperature to eliminate the edge stress and ensure the straightness of the plate. The commonly used titanium alloy small plate pressing and straightening uses a conventional fixture. The fixture includes two plywood, and each fixture can hold 800 titanium alloy cards. However, the clamping is manual, and each titanium alloy card needs to be aligned left and right, and up and down. The manual clamping method has the following problems: 1. It is difficult to manually ensure that each piece is aligned up and down, and left and right; 2. Manual clamping is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, and each clamping takes 20-30 minutes. Summary of the Invention

[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping device provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a base 1 and an aligning component 2. The base 1 is used to place the fixture 4. The aligning component 2 is arranged corresponding to the fixture 4 and is used to align the edges of the titanium and titanium alloy plates 5 in the fixture 4. The aligning component 2 includes two oppositely arranged first pushing members 21. The two first pushing members 21 are respectively arranged on both sides of the base 1.

[0033] In the clamping device of the embodiment of the present invention, two clamping plates of a clamp 4 can be placed on the base 1, and a titanium or titanium alloy plate 5 parallel to the clamping plates is placed between the two clamping plates. The aligning component 2 is arranged around the clamp 4, wherein the two first pushing components are arranged relative to each other, and the setting direction of the two first pushing components is perpendicular to the setting direction of the two clamping plates. As the aligning component 2 gradually moves toward the clamp 4, the edges of all titanium or titanium alloy plates 5 are pushed into alignment, and the two first pushing components align the two opposite sides of the titanium or titanium alloy plates 5, solving the quality problem of uneven top and bottom and left and right caused by manual clamping. At the same time, the present invention can complete the clamping of the plates within 2 minutes, saving manpower and effectively improving the working efficiency of clamping.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first push member 21 includes a first push plate 211 and a first cylinder 212. The two first push plates 211 are parallel to each other and arranged opposite each other. The piston rod of the first cylinder 212 is connected to the first push plates 211 to drive the two first push plates 211 toward or away from each other. In this embodiment, the first cylinder 212 pushes the first push plates 211 to move toward or away from the edge of the titanium or titanium alloy plate 5. The two first push plates 211 can quickly align the edges of the plates they contact to the same plane, achieving fast alignment and high clamping efficiency. In other embodiments, the first push plates 211 can adopt other drive methods, such as electrode-driven gear racks, chain drives, etc., to achieve relative and opposite movement of the two first push plates 211.

[0035] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the alignment assembly 2 further includes a second pushing member 22, which is disposed between the two first pushing members 21. The pushing direction of the second pushing member 22 is perpendicular to the pushing direction of the first pushing members 21. In this embodiment, the second pushing member 22 is disposed between the two first pushing members 21. During the process of the second pushing member 22 moving toward the titanium or titanium alloy plate 5, the second pushing member 22 gradually approaches and contacts an edge of the plate that is perpendicular to the edge in contact with the first pushing member 21, thereby aligning the edge.

[0036] In this embodiment, there is one second pushing member 22, and the clamp 4 is vertically arranged on the base 1. Therefore, the horizontal edge of the bottom of the titanium or titanium alloy plate 5 falls on the base 1. The two first pushing members 21 respectively align the two vertical edges of the plate, and the second pushing member 22 is located above the plate and aligns the horizontal edge of the top of the plate. In other embodiments, there may be two second pushing members 22, and the clamp 4 is horizontally arranged on the base 1, that is, one clamping plate of the clamp 4 falls on the base 1, and the other clamping plate is fixed above the clamping plate. The first pushing member 21 and the second pushing member 22 respectively align the two sets of parallel edges of the plate.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second push member 22 includes a second push plate 221 and a second cylinder 222. The second push plate 221 is arranged perpendicular to the first push plate 211. The piston rod of the second cylinder 222 is connected to the second push plate 221 to drive the second push plate 221 to move toward or away from the first push member 21. In this embodiment, the second cylinder 222 pushes the second push plate 221 to move toward or away from the edge of the titanium or titanium alloy plate 5. The second push plate 221 can quickly align the edges of the plates it contacts to the same plane, achieving rapid alignment and high clamping efficiency. In other embodiments, the second push plate 221 can adopt other drive methods, such as electrode-driven gear racks, chain drives, etc., to achieve the movement of the second push plate 221 toward or away from the edge of the plate.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second push plate 221 is provided with a guide rod 3 on the surface connected to the second cylinder 222. The axial direction of the guide rod 3 is arranged along the extension and contraction direction of the piston rod of the second cylinder 222. A bracket 11 is provided on the base 1. The bracket 11 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the guide rod 3, and the guide rod 3 passes through the through hole. In this embodiment, the second push member 22 is also provided with a guide structure. The bracket 11 is provided on the base 1 for cooperating with the guide structure. The second push plate 221 is arranged horizontally, and the guide rod 3 is arranged perpendicular to the second push plate 221. In this embodiment, there are four guide rods 3 in total. The four guide rods 3 are arranged around the piston rod of the second cylinder 222. When the second cylinder 222 drives the second push plate 221 to move upward, the guide rod 3 moves upward through the through hole in the bracket 11. When the second flagpole drives the second push plate 221 to move downward, the guide rod 3 moves downward through the through hole in the bracket 11. The guide rod 3 cooperates with the through hole of the bracket 11 to provide guidance for the movement of the second pushing member 22 located above, thereby stabilizing the movement of the second pushing plate 221 .

[0039] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the cylinder body of the second cylinder 222 is mounted on the bracket 11, and the piston rod of the second cylinder 222 passes through the bracket 11 and is connected to the second push plate 221. In this embodiment, the bracket 11 provides support and fixation for the second cylinder 222. The bracket 11 also has a hole for the piston rod of the second cylinder 222 to pass through. The piston rod of the second cylinder 222 passes through the hole and is connected to the second push plate 221.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping device of the embodiment of the present invention further includes a control component, which is used to control the movement distance of the alignment component 2. In this embodiment, the movement distance of the alignment component 2 can be controlled by the control component. By utilizing titanium plates with certain flatness requirements, combined with the alignment component 2 and the control component, semi-automatic clamping can be achieved to improve production efficiency. The control component can sense the movement distance of the piston rods of the first cylinder 212 and the second cylinder 222, and can also sense the degree of contact between the first push plate 211 and the second push plate 221 and the titanium or titanium alloy plate 5. It can also control the movement distance of the alignment component 2 based on the pressure range of the first cylinder 212 and the second cylinder 222 during the process of driving the first push plate 211 and the second push plate 221.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control assembly includes a first sensor and a second sensor, the first sensor being connected to the first cylinder 212, and the second sensor being connected to the second cylinder 222. In this embodiment, the control assembly employs sensors that respectively detect the driving distances of the first cylinder 212 and the second cylinder 222. In other embodiments, the pressure ranges for achieving top-bottom and bottom-side alignment and left-right alignment of the titanium or titanium alloy in the first cylinder 212 and the second cylinder 222 are determined based on practical circumstances, thereby enabling the selection of sensors.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the base 1 includes a base plate 12 and two sets of columns 13 disposed on the base plate 12. The base plate 12 is disposed horizontally, and the two sets of columns 13 are disposed perpendicular to the base plate 12. Each set of columns 13 is used to support one clamping plate of the clamp 4. In this embodiment, the clamp 4 is disposed on the base plate 12, with the two clamping plates of the clamp 4 respectively resting on the sides of the two sets of columns 13. The two sets of columns 13 are disposed opposite each other to provide support and fixation for the clamp 4 and the titanium or titanium alloy plate 5 in a direction perpendicular to the clamping plates and the plate.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, each set of columns 13 includes two sub-columns, with the distance between the two sub-columns being greater than the width of the screws 41 on the clamping plates and less than the width of the clamping plates. In this embodiment, two sub-columns constitute a set of columns 13, with the lower ends of the sub-columns fixed to the base plate 12. The two sides of each clamping plate rest against the two sub-columns, with the screws 41 on the clamping plates positioned between the two sub-columns.

[0044] During the actual production process, the fixture 4 is first placed within the range of the column 13, and then a certain number of titanium and titanium alloy plates 5 are placed. When the placement is completed, the first cylinder 212 and the second cylinder 222 work simultaneously to align the plates left and right and up and down. After alignment, the screws 41 of the fixture 4 are tightened, and then the first cylinder 212 and the second cylinder 222 are opened, and the fixture 4 with the material is taken out, and the entire production process is completed.
