Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum profile slot hole processing, and specifically relates to a high-precision hole and slot processing platform for aluminum profiles. Background Art

[0002] In the high-precision hole and slot processing technology of aluminum profiles, it is mostly to fix the aluminum profile on the processing table and drive the processing tool to perform hole and slot processing on the specified position of the aluminum profile. During the processing, coolant is sprayed on the processing position until the hole and slot processing is completed. The fixing operation of the aluminum profile generally uses cylinder clamping or mechanical clamping, clamping the symmetrical side walls of the aluminum profile to prevent it from shaking. The common side walls of aluminum profiles are mostly flat, so clamping is relatively easy. However, when clamping a special-shaped aluminum profile, the clamping stability cannot be guaranteed, and manual holding or other devices may be needed to assist in fixing to complete the processing. Manual holding has the problem of potential safety hazards and may hurt the processing personnel if not careful. The assistance of other devices will increase the complexity of the processing equipment, and if the special-shaped aluminum profiles to be processed are diverse, the device assistance is not well-matched or the matching degree is limited, which will instead be counterproductive. Therefore, there is a need for a processing platform that can stably perform hole and slot processing on aluminum profiles with variable shapes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on this, in view of the problem that the existing aluminum profile processing platform cannot adaptively adjust due to the change of the aluminum profile shape to ensure high-precision hole and slot processing of aluminum profiles, a high-precision hole and slot processing platform for aluminum profiles is provided.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A high-precision hole and slot processing platform for aluminum profiles includes a support base, a processing tool, and a positioning component.

[0006] The top of the support base is provided with an opening, and the top of the support base is horizontally penetrated along its length direction;

[0007] The processing tool is slidably arranged on the top of the support base;

[0008] The positioning components are symmetrically arranged on the symmetric side walls of the top of the support base, and the clamping area is located within the processing area of the processing tool; it includes a first telescopic member, a main clamping block, and a secondary clamping block; the first telescopic members are symmetrically arranged on the symmetric side walls of the top of the support base; the main clamping block is in a "C" shape and is driven by the first telescopic member to move horizontally. The sides of the two main clamping blocks with openings face each other. The top of this side is arc-shaped, the bottom of this side is flat, and a chamfer is provided at the intersection with the inner bottom edge of the main clamping block. The inner bottom of the main clamping block gradually decreases in height from outside to inside and is inclined; the secondary clamping block is movably arranged in the main clamping block and has the same moving direction as the main clamping block. The main clamping block and / or the secondary clamping block are in contact with both sides of the aluminum profile to clamp and position the aluminum profile.

[0009] Furthermore, the support includes a base, side plates, and a top frame plate arranged sequentially from bottom to top; the positioning component is installed on the side plate, the machining tool is set on the top of the top frame plate, and a support plate for placing aluminum profiles is detachably connected between the symmetrical side plates. The support plate is trapezoidal in shape, and the bottom sides of the support plate extend horizontally outward to form an extension. The surface of the extension has multiple drainage holes in the longitudinal direction, forming a screen structure.

[0010] Furthermore, a wastewater tank is located below the support plate and is placed on the base. The size of the wastewater tank is larger than that of the support plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the machining tools include a three-axis slide module and a drilling component; the three-axis slide module is mounted on the top of the top frame plate, and the drilling component is connected to the movable end of the three-axis slide module. The drilling component passes through the middle of the top frame plate and is located above the support plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a bamboo-joint universal tube is bound to the drilling component, with one end of the universal tube facing the drilling end of the drilling component and the other end connected to the water supply mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the telescopic component includes a telescopic cylinder and a connecting plate; the fixed end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the side plate, the movable end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the connecting plate is installed on the main clamping block.

[0014] Furthermore, the secondary clamping block is connected to the movable end of the telescopic cylinder two, the fixed end of the telescopic cylinder two is fixed to the main clamping block, and an elastic layer is bonded to the side of the secondary clamping block facing the aluminum profile.

[0015] Furthermore, each main clamping block has two secondary clamping blocks inside, one of which is higher than the other. The secondary clamping blocks are movably connected to the main clamping block through a telescopic cylinder.

[0016] Furthermore, the telescopic component includes a two-axis linear slide module and a connecting plate; the two-axis linear slide module is installed on the inner wall of the side plate, and its movable end is connected to the connecting plate to drive the connecting plate to move along the width and height directions of the support plate, and the connecting plate is installed on the main clamping block.

[0017] Furthermore, when the sidewall of the aluminum profile is a longitudinally flat surface, the main clamping block contacts the sidewall of the aluminum profile; when the sidewall of the aluminum profile is an inclined surface, an arc surface, or an irregular surface, the main clamping block and the secondary clamping block contact the sidewall of the aluminum profile together.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include:

[0019] 1. The present invention uses the main clamping block and the secondary clamping block of the positioning component to fix not only aluminum profiles with side walls that are flat, but also aluminum profiles with side walls that are inclined, curved or irregular. The overall structure is simple and can be adapted to the change of aluminum profile shape to ensure high-precision slot processing of aluminum profiles of different shapes.

[0020] 2. By setting the support plate into a structure with a central trapezoid and screens on both sides, the present invention facilitates the movement of debris to both sides of the support plate with the coolant, reduces the accumulation of debris in the middle of the support plate, and the edges of the support plate can intercept debris, separate the coolant and debris, and facilitate subsequent cleaning.

[0021] 3. This invention facilitates more stable clamping of irregularly shaped aluminum profiles by increasing the number of secondary clamping blocks; and by increasing the change in the height direction displacement of the main clamping block and secondary clamping blocks, it can clamp aluminum profiles of different heights, thereby increasing the clamping range.

[0032] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this invention, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of the invention. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of the technical solution of this invention and should not be considered as the entirety of the invention or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this invention.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment introduces a high-precision hole and groove machining platform for aluminum profiles, which mainly consists of a support base 1, a machining tool 2, and a positioning component 3.

[0035] The support base 1 includes a base 11, side plates 12, and a top frame plate 13 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The base 11, side plates 12, and top frame plate 13 can be fixed by welding or by bolting. Two parallel side plates 12 are installed on the top edge of the base 11, located on the longer edge of the base 11, with no obstruction in the width direction, facilitating the passage of aluminum profiles between the two side plates 12. The top frame plate 13 is rectangular, so the central opening is unobstructed, facilitating the entry of the machining tool 2 located above between the two side plates 12.

[0036] The support plate 14 is installed in the gap between the two side plates 12. The support plate 14 can be detachably connected to the side plates 12 by bolts or by snap-fit. The middle part of the support plate 14 is trapezoidal, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The bottom sides of the support plate 14 facing the side plates 12 extend outward to form a screen structure extension. The extension contacts and connects with the side plates 12, and serves both as a connection to the side plates 12 and as a filter for cooling water. Since the aluminum profile is processed on top of the support plate 14, the cooling water will remain on the support plate 14 after spraying. The trapezoidal shape of the support plate 14 guides the cooling water to the extension, which then passes under the support plate 14.

[0037] A wastewater tank 15 is placed at the bottom of the support plate 14 to store the cooling water discharged from the support plate 14. The wastewater tank 15 can be placed on a support point on the base 11, ensuring it is positioned at the bottom of the support plate 14. A drain outlet can be provided in the wastewater tank 15 to allow the cooling water inside to drain out through a pipe. The wastewater tank 15 can also be replaced periodically. The drainage method should be selected based on actual needs. It is important to note that the length and width of the wastewater tank 15 are slightly larger than the support plate 14, ensuring that all the cooling water on the support plate 14 drains into the wastewater tank 15 and does not drain outwards.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the machining tool 2 mainly consists of a three-axis slide module 21 and a drilling component 22. The three-axis slide module 21 is installed on top of the top frame plate 13 without obstructing the opening of the top frame plate 13. The drilling component 22 is located at the movable end of the three-axis slide module 21, driving the drilling component 22 to move along the length, width, and height directions of the base 11. The drilling component 22 passes through the top frame plate 13 and enters the support base 1, located above the support plate 14. The drilling component 22 can consist of a drilling cutter and a motor that drives the drilling cutter to rotate; since an existing structure is used, it will not be described in detail here. The shape of the drilling cutter is not limited to one type and can be installed according to actual needs. Since high temperatures and debris are generated during the drilling process, a cooling mechanism is usually arranged. A bamboo-joint universal tube 23 can be tied to the drilling component 22 and move with the drilling component 22. Since the bamboo-joint universal tube 23 has a certain length, it can move with the drilling component 22. The water outlet of the bamboo-joint universal tube 23 faces the drilling position of the drilling component 22, and the water inlet of the bamboo-joint universal tube 23 is connected to the water supply mechanism. The water supply mechanism can be a water pump connected to the municipal water supply, or it can be set up separately. When the drilling component 22 is machining holes and grooves in the aluminum profile, the water supply mechanism can supply water, and the bamboo-joint universal tube 23 can spray cooling water to flush away debris and cool it down at the same time.

[0039] like Figure 2-3As shown in the figure, a positioning component 3 for positioning the aluminum profile is provided on the side plate 12 and near the processing tool 2. The clamping area of the positioning component 3 is located within the processing area of the processing tool 2. Two symmetrically arranged positioning components 3 cooperate to clamp and fix the aluminum profile, and hole and groove processing can be carried out in cooperation with the processing tool 2. The positioning component 3 is mainly composed of a first telescopic member 31, a main clamping block 32, and a secondary clamping block 33. The first telescopic member 31 includes a first telescopic cylinder 311 and a connecting plate 312. The first telescopic cylinder 311 is horizontally fixed on the side plate 12, and its movable end faces the inside of the side plate 12 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 312. The first telescopic cylinder 311 is used to drive the connecting plate 312 to move horizontally. The connecting plate 312 is fixedly connected to the main clamping block 32. Therefore, the horizontal movement of the connecting plate 312 is the horizontal movement of the main clamping block 32. A fixed distance is maintained horizontally between the connecting plate 312 and the main clamping block 32 to accommodate the second telescopic cylinder 34. The fixed end of the second telescopic cylinder 34 is horizontally arranged on the main clamping block 32 and is partially located within the gap between the connecting plate 312 and the main clamping block 32. The movable end direction of the second telescopic cylinder 34 is the same as that of the first telescopic cylinder 311, and the movable end of the second telescopic cylinder 34 is connected to the secondary clamping block 33. Therefore, the second telescopic cylinder 34 is used to drive the secondary clamping block 33 to move horizontally.

[0040] The overall shape of the main clamping block 32 is in the shape of a "匚". The open sides of the two main clamping blocks 32 face each other. The top of the open side of the main clamping block 32 is arc-shaped, and the bottom is flat. A chamfer is provided at the intersection of the bottom edge of the inner side of the main clamping block 32. The height of the inner bottom of the main clamping block 32 gradually decreases from outside to inside, showing an inclined shape. In this way, even if cooling water enters the main clamping block 32, it can be guided to a position close to the edge of the support plate 14. The top and bottom of this side are longitudinally flush and contact the aluminum profile, and an elastic layer can be bonded to contact the aluminum profile. The secondary clamping block 33 is located within the main clamping block 32, and an elastic layer is also bonded to the side of the secondary clamping block 33 that contacts the aluminum profile. The elastic layer can be made of a flexible and stretchable material to facilitate full contact with the aluminum profile.

[0041] As Figure 3 shown, when the side wall of the aluminum profile is flat, the secondary clamping block 33 can be located inside the main clamping block 32, and the first telescopic cylinder 311 drives the main clamping block 32 to contact and clamp the aluminum profile. As Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, when the side wall of the aluminum profile is concave or convex, the secondary clamping block 33 can be extended to cooperate with the main clamping block 32 to jointly fit and clamp the aluminum profile. If the concave or convex shape is arc-shaped, the chamfer and arc surface design of the side wall of the main clamping block 32 can better fit. As Figure 5 shown, when the aluminum profile is an inclined plane, the secondary clamping block 33 is driven to extend to cooperate with the main clamping block 32 to fit and clamp the aluminum profile.

[0042] During processing, the aluminum profile is placed on the support plate 14. The main clamping block 32 and the secondary clamping block 33 are driven according to the shape of the aluminum profile's sidewall, clamping and fixing the aluminum profile. Finally, the processing tool 2 is driven to process the aluminum profile along a predetermined trajectory. After completion, the aluminum profile can be removed. Additional positioning blocks can be installed on the support plate 14 to pinpoint aluminum profiles of the same shape, assisting the processing tool 2 in machining holes and grooves.

[0043] In this embodiment, the main clamping block 32 and the secondary clamping block 33 of the positioning component 3 cooperate to not only fix aluminum profiles with sidewalls that are flat, but also aluminum profiles with sidewalls that are inclined, curved, or irregular. The overall structure is simple and can be adapted to changes in the shape of the aluminum profile, ensuring high-precision slotting of aluminum profiles of different shapes.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment introduces a high-precision hole and groove machining platform for aluminum profiles, which has a basically the same structure as the high-precision hole and groove machining platform for aluminum profiles introduced in Embodiment 1. The difference is that this embodiment has two secondary clamping blocks 33. Both secondary clamping blocks 33 are located inside the main clamping block 32, and the two secondary clamping blocks 33 are located on the same longitudinal line, but their heights are different.

[0046] Two secondary clamping blocks 33 are connected to the main clamping block 32 via telescopic cylinder 34. Two secondary clamping blocks 33 are set inside the main clamping block 32. The two secondary clamping blocks 33 cooperate with the main clamping block 32 by different horizontal positions, which can fit more irregular aluminum profiles, but the structure is slightly complicated.

[0047] This embodiment has the same beneficial effects as Embodiment 1.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] like Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment introduces a high-precision hole and groove processing platform for aluminum profiles, which has a basically the same structure as the high-precision hole and groove processing platform for aluminum profiles introduced in Embodiment 1. The difference is that the telescopic component 31 in this embodiment adopts a two-axis linear slide module 313 and a connecting plate 312. The two-axis linear slide module 313 is installed on the inner wall of the side plate 12, and its movable end is connected to the connecting plate 312 to drive the connecting plate 312 to move along the width and height directions of the support plate 14. Since the connecting plate 312 is connected to the main clamping block 32, the main clamping block 32 can not only move horizontally linearly, but also move in height, so that the positioning component 3 can adapt to aluminum profiles of different heights.

[0050] This embodiment is applicable to the processing of aluminum profiles with large differences in height during the processing flow, and has the same beneficial effects as Embodiment 1.

[0051] The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this invention, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this invention.
