Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum alloy profile production, specifically to an assembly and production system for thermally broken aluminum alloy profiles. Background Technology
[0002] Windows and doors made from thermally broken aluminum alloy possess excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing properties, leading to their widespread application. The manufacturing process for the thermally broken aluminum alloy used in these windows and doors involves: serrifying the grooves of inspected and qualified aluminum alloy profiles; aligning the grooves of two profiles; and then manually or automatically inserting a thermal break strip into the grooves to complete the strip insertion. After insertion, the strip is sent to a rolling mill for rolling. A finished product after rolling is shown below. Figure 6 As shown.
[0003] In the process of threading strips, inaccurate positioning of the aluminum alloy profile can easily lead to threading failure or reduce the production efficiency of threading strips. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the above problems by providing an assembly and production system for thermally broken aluminum alloys, which can improve the production efficiency of wire strip insertion.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs a technical solution of an assembly and production system for thermally broken aluminum alloy profiles. This system includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft spaced laterally. Both shafts rotate along a transverse axis. A first carrying plate and a second carrying plate are respectively mounted on the side walls of the two shafts, and their positions are staggered. When the first and second carrying plates are in a horizontal state, a baffle is mounted on one side of the rotating shaft at their upper ends. A limiting and separating mechanism is provided between the first and second rotating shafts, and this mechanism moves axially along the rotating shafts. The first and second carrying plates align the slots of two aluminum alloy profiles, and the limiting and separating mechanism keeps the distance between the aluminum alloy profiles fixed, ensuring that the thermal insulation strip can smoothly penetrate the slots.
[0006] Furthermore, to prevent the limiting and separating mechanism from interfering with the insertion of the thermal insulation strip, the limiting and separating mechanism includes a bracket and a roller. The roller is vertically arranged and positioned on the bracket along the length of the rotating shaft. During the insertion process, the sidewall of the roller contacts the aluminum alloy profile. As the thermal insulation strip moves over, the limiting and separating mechanism moves in the same direction as it, completing the insertion while ensuring separation from the aluminum alloy profile.
[0007] Furthermore, to facilitate subsequent steps such as trimming and rolling of the thermal insulation strip, it also includes a stop plate to prevent the aluminum alloy profile from moving along the length of the shaft during the strip insertion process. After the slot of the aluminum alloy profile is aligned with the carrier plate, the stop plate contacts the end face of the profile to align the end faces of the profile. After the strip insertion is completed, the thermal insulation strip that exceeds the profile can be trimmed. Before rolling, there is no need to manually adjust the aluminum alloy profile to align its end faces.
[0008] Furthermore, to facilitate the removal of the aluminum alloy profile after the strip is threaded, the lower end of the abutment plate is connected to the connecting rod, and the lower end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the support and swings under the action of the rotation drive mechanism. After the strip is threaded, the abutment plate moves away from the extension line of the aluminum alloy profile to facilitate the removal of the aluminum alloy profile by the operator.
[0009] Furthermore, in order to improve efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of operators, it also includes a linear conveying mechanism. There are two linear conveying mechanisms, which are respectively connected with the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft to form a feeding group. The upper end surface of the linear conveying mechanism is not lower than the upper end surface of the load plate in the feeding group when it is in a horizontal state. The aluminum alloy profile is delivered to the load plate through the linear conveying mechanism.
[0010] Furthermore, to prevent the aluminum alloy profile from falling off the carrier plate during its upward rotation, the baffle plate is provided with a limiting strip extending toward the linear conveyor mechanism in its feeding group.
[0011] Furthermore, the limit strip is detachable to accommodate more aluminum alloy profiles.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The first carrier plate on the first rotating shaft and the second carrier plate on the second rotating shaft respectively carry two aluminum alloy profiles, which are swung upwards from a horizontal position. During the upward swing, due to gravity, one side wall of the aluminum alloy profile abuts against the baffle, thereby aligning the slots of the two aluminum alloy profiles to facilitate subsequent strip threading, thus improving production efficiency. Furthermore, compared to solutions using robotic arms and sensors, the mechanism of this invention is simpler, resulting in lower production costs and reduced maintenance difficulty.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.
[0021] Example 1, as Figures 1-3 As shown, the specific structure of this embodiment is as follows: It includes a first rotating shaft 1 and a second rotating shaft 2 arranged laterally. Both the first rotating shaft 1 and the second rotating shaft 2 rotate along the transverse axis and in the same direction. The two ends of the first rotating shaft 1 and the second rotating shaft 2 are set on the support base 14. The support base 14 is composed of multiple nested sleeves. Adjacent sleeves are defined by bolts, etc. The lower end of the support base is set on the slide rail of the base. The lower end of the support base and the base are locked together by T-bolts, etc. The support base is equipped with a motor for driving the first rotating shaft 1 and the second rotating shaft 2 to rotate around its axis. By adjusting the height and position of the support base 14, the assembly of thermally broken aluminum profiles of different specifications can be realized.
[0022] A first loading plate 3 and a second loading plate 4 are respectively provided on the side walls of the two rotating shafts. The first loading plate 3 and the second loading plate 4 are both arranged radially along the rotating shafts. The positions of the first loading plate 3 and the second loading plate 4 are staggered along the length of the rotating shafts. When the first loading plate 3 and the second loading plate 4 are in a horizontal state, a baffle 5 is provided on one side of the rotating shaft at their upper end. The position of the baffle 5 can be adjusted and locked to the loading plate by bolts, etc. A limit partition mechanism is provided between the first rotating shaft 1 and the second rotating shaft 2. The side wall of the limit partition mechanism is vertically arranged, and the limit partition mechanism moves along the axial direction of the rotating shafts.
[0023] Specific working process: The operator adjusts the position of the first rotating shaft 1 and the second rotating shaft 2. When the first carrier plate 3 and the second carrier plate 4 are rotated to a horizontal position, the operator places the aluminum alloy profiles for assembly on the upper end of the two carrier plates respectively. As the first carrier plate 3 and the second carrier plate 4 rotate upward, the aluminum alloy profiles slide downward to the baffle plate 5, thereby ensuring that the slots of the two aluminum alloy profiles can be aligned when they are in a vertical position.
[0024] As the aluminum alloy profile 15 rotates to the side-lying position along with the carrying plate, the opposite sides of the aluminum alloy profiles on both sides abut against the side wall of the limiting partition mechanism, preventing the aluminum alloy profiles from falling off the baffle 5 due to instability. At the same time, the limiting partition mechanism can limit the distance between the aluminum alloy profiles on both sides, ensuring that the heat insulation strip 16 can pass through the aluminum alloy profiles on both sides simultaneously.
[0025] When the aluminum alloy profiles on both sides rotate to the vertical side position, the side of the aluminum alloy profile abuts against the side wall of the limiting partition mechanism. At this time, the heat insulation strip 16 is pushed into the groove of the aluminum alloy profile 15 by a strip threading machine or manually. During the process of pushing the heat insulation strip 16 in, the limiting partition mechanism moves synchronously to avoid interfering with the passage of the heat insulation strip 16 until it is removed from the two aluminum alloy profiles.
[0026] After the strip is inserted, the aluminum alloy profile is removed from the baffle 5, and the first carrier plate 3 and the second carrier plate 4 are rotated back to a horizontal position to start a new round of thermal break aluminum alloy assembly production.
[0027] Example 2, as Figure 3 As shown, other structures and working processes of this embodiment can be referred to in Embodiment 1. However, in this embodiment, the limiting and separating mechanism includes a bracket 6 and a roller 7. The upper end of the bracket 6 is connected to a sliding seat 17, and the sliding seat 17 is connected to a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism can be a lead screw and a guide post that pass through the sliding seat 17, wherein the lead screw is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor. The roller 7 is arranged vertically and along the length of the rotating shaft on the bracket 6, and the side wall of the roller 7 extends out of the bracket 6.
[0028] Example 3, as Figure 2-3 As shown, other structures and working processes in this embodiment can be referred to in Embodiment 1. However, in this embodiment, it also includes a stop plate 8 to prevent the aluminum alloy profile from moving along the length of the rotating shaft during the strip threading process. The lower end of the stop plate 8 is connected to the connecting rod 9, and the lower end of the connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the support 10 and swings under the action of the rotary drive mechanism 11. The rotary drive mechanism 11 can be a hydraulic cylinder, a motor, etc.
[0029] Specific working process: When the aluminum alloy profile 15 is rotated to a vertical side-lying position, the abutment plate 8 swings upward under the action of the rotary drive mechanism 11, causing the abutment plate 8 to press against the end of the aluminum alloy profile 15 away from the material receiving side of the heat insulation strip 16, thereby aligning the end faces of the aluminum alloy profile 15. The position of the abutment plate 8 is offset from the moving path of the limiting partition mechanism. After the strip is inserted, the abutment plate 8 swings downward to reset, making it convenient for operators to remove the aluminum alloy profile.
[0030] Example 4, as Figure 4-5 As shown, other structures and working processes of this embodiment can be referred to in Embodiment 1. However, in this embodiment, it also includes a linear conveying mechanism 12. The linear conveying mechanism 12 can be a belt conveyor, chain conveyor, etc. The upper end face of the conveyor belt of the linear conveying mechanism 12 is set horizontally. There are two linear conveying mechanisms 12, which are respectively formed into a feeding group with the first rotating shaft 1 and the second rotating shaft 2. The upper end face of the linear conveying mechanism 12 is not lower than the upper end face of the load plate in the feeding group when it is in a horizontal state.
[0031] The specific working process is as follows: the operator places the aluminum alloy profiles side by side on the linear conveyor 12 in advance. Then the linear conveyor 12 moves the aluminum alloy profiles to the side of the shaft in the same feeding group until the aluminum alloy profile closest to the shaft is moved to the carrier plate. Then the linear conveyor 12 stops working or can move back a certain distance to automatically complete the work of placing the aluminum alloy profiles on the carrier plate.
[0032] Example 5, as Figure 4-5 As shown, other structures and working processes in this embodiment can be referred to in Embodiment 4. However, in this embodiment, the baffle 5 is provided with a limiting strip 13 extending towards the linear conveying mechanism in its feeding group. The limiting strip 13 is detachably provided by bolts or the like.
[0033] Specific working process: Since the center of gravity of aluminum alloy profiles is often not at their geometric center, when the aluminum alloy profile is rotated from a horizontal position to a vertical side position, the aluminum alloy profile may fall off the baffle. To address this, a limiting strip 13 is set up, which abuts against the side wall of the aluminum alloy profile to increase the contact area with the aluminum alloy profile and prevent the aluminum alloy profile from falling off.
