Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum profile processing equipment, and particularly relates to a bending mechanism for aluminum plate fan-shaped arc strip forming processing, and more particularly to a bending method for aluminum plate fan-shaped arc strip forming processing. Background Art

[0002] During the processing and manufacturing of aluminum profiles, aluminum material extrusion operations are required to obtain aluminum profiles of preset shapes.

[0003] Arc-shaped fan-shaped aluminum profiles are usually used as anti-collision strips for objects. Aluminum profiles are formed by heating and extruding aluminum rods. The arc strips of the extruded aluminum profiles will be guided and conveyed by conveyor rollers. When the conveyor rollers start to rotate, static friction occurs due to the mismatch between the moving speed of the extruded aluminum profile and the speed of the conveyor rollers. Linear or strip patterns perpendicular to the extrusion direction are formed on the surface of the aluminum profile, affecting the appearance of the aluminum profile and causing an increase in the defective rate.

[0004] Therefore, the existing aluminum profiles are prone to surface patterns during extrusion and transmission, which cannot meet the needs of actual use. Therefore, there is an urgent need for improved technology in the market to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0033] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present invention is a bending mechanism for forming arc strips of an aluminum plate fan, comprising an extruder 1, a conveyor 2, a first motor 3 and a second motor 4. The conveyor 2 is arranged at the discharge end of the extruder 1, and a conveyor line is formed by a plurality of conveyor rollers on the conveyor 2.

The receiving mechanism includes a driving unit for feeding, an adjusting unit for adjusting the receiving height and a loading assembly. The receiving mechanism is connected to the extruder 1, and the loading assembly is connected to the adjusting unit. During use, by adjusting the adjusting unit, The degree of adaptation between the material loading component and the aluminum alloy profile is controlled. The advantage of such a setting is that the height difference between the material loading component and aluminum profiles of different specifications can be reduced. A U-shaped block 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the conveying device 2. A sensor 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped block 8. The sensor 9 is electrically connected to the first motor 3. The moving height of the material loading component is monitored by the sensor 9.

During operation, the second motor 4 is started to drive the driving gear 12 to mesh with the driven gear 13, thereby driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. The rotating shaft 5 drives the pair of swing arms 6 to rotate, so that the swing arms 6 drive the loading assembly to move in an arc toward the conveying device 2, and the extruded aluminum profile is sent into the conveying device 2.

[0038] Among them Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the guide assembly includes a pair of first guide rails 7 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the conveying device 2, a moving sleeve 24 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 7, a pair of slide grooves are provided on the first guide rail 7, the moving sleeve 24 is adapted to the slide grooves, a second guide rail 18 is fixedly mounted on the top of the moving sleeve 24, a slider 23 is slidably mounted in the second guide rail 18, and the central position of the moving sleeve 24 is formed into an inner concave M-shaped structure by bending.
