Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of aluminum production equipment, and more specifically, to an automatic aluminum framing machine and an automatic framing method. Background Technology

[0002] In the aluminum processing industry, after the products are cut to length on the extrusion production line, the finished aluminum materials usually need to be transferred from the sawing machine roller conveyor to the storage box. Manual handling is labor-intensive, requires a large workforce, and product quality is susceptible to human error. Therefore, aluminum manufacturers typically use automated aluminum framing equipment to automate the transfer of finished aluminum materials from the sawing machine roller conveyor to the storage box, thereby reducing labor intensity, manpower requirements, and production costs.

[0003] Existing automatic aluminum profile framing equipment typically uses a conveyor belt to transport finished aluminum profiles and telescopic baffles to block them, thus arranging the finished aluminum profiles side by side into aluminum profile rows. Since the aluminum profiles are always on the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt and the finished aluminum profiles are in frictional contact, which can easily cause wear on the surface of the finished aluminum profiles and affect the final production quality of the finished aluminum profiles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the problem that the transmission belt of the aforementioned automatic aluminum framing equipment has sliding friction with the finished aluminum material, which easily causes wear on the surface of the finished aluminum material and affects the production quality of the finished aluminum material, the present invention provides an automatic aluminum framing machine and an automatic framing method, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0005] On one hand, an automatic aluminum profile framing machine includes a first conveying device, a width detection device, a second conveying device, a lifting and translating device, and a storage frame; the first conveying device is used to convey finished aluminum profiles to the second conveying device; the width detection device is used to detect the width of the finished aluminum profiles and generate a width signal to the second conveying device; the second conveying device receives the finished aluminum profiles from the first conveying device and adjusts the conveying speed according to the width signal, arranging the finished aluminum profiles into aluminum profile rows for conveying; the second conveying device conveys the aluminum profile rows above the lifting and translating device; the lifting and translating device uses a support plate capable of lifting and translating to move the aluminum profile rows to the storage frame.

[0006] The aforementioned automatic aluminum framing machine uses a width detection device to detect the width of the finished aluminum profiles and generates a width signal to a second transmission device. Once the finished aluminum profiles are conveyed to the second transmission device, the distance the second transmission device transports the profiles is equal to the width of the profile. By using this short conveying distance, the second transmission device arranges the finished aluminum profiles continuously transported from the first transmission device into aluminum profile rows. Thus, there is no sliding friction between the second transmission device and the finished aluminum profiles, reducing wear on the profiles during framing and ensuring the quality of the finished aluminum profiles.

[0007] Furthermore, the first conveying device includes at least two first conveyor belts; the second conveying device includes at least two second conveyor belts.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting and translating device includes a lifting component and a translating component, and the support plate is disposed on the translating component; the lifting component includes a lifting motor and a lifting mechanism, and the lifting motor drives the translating component to move up and down in the vertical direction by driving the lifting mechanism; the translating component includes a translating motor and a translating mechanism, and the translating motor drives the translating mechanism to move the support plate along the conveying direction of the second conveying device.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a mounting base, a lifting gear rotatably connected to the mounting base and driven by the lifting motor, a lifting rack meshing with the lifting gear, and a lifting seat disposed on top of the lifting rack; the translation mechanism includes a translation gear driven by the translation motor, a translation rack meshing with the translation gear, the translation motor being disposed on the lifting seat, and the support plate being mounted on the translation rack.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a centering device; the feeding lifting roller bed includes a roller bed frame and a roller assembly mounted on the roller bed frame, the roller assembly including two conveying rollers arranged along the symmetrical line of the storage frame; the conveying rollers include an inner roller mounted on the roller bed frame, a connecting bearing rollingly connected to both ends of the inner roller, and an outer roller sleeved on the outer ring of the connecting bearing; the centering device includes a centering servo motor, a centering drive mechanism, a stop bar mounted on the conveying end of the feeding lifting roller bed, and a pressure sensor mounted inside the conveying roller; the feeding lifting roller bed conveys the finished aluminum material until one end of the finished aluminum material abuts the stop bar, the pressure sensor senses the pressure on the inner roller, and the centering servo motor adjusts the position of the finished aluminum material conveyed on the two conveying rollers through the centering drive mechanism until the pressure difference sensed between the pressure sensors on the two conveying rollers is less than a preset value.

[0011] Furthermore, the centering drive mechanism includes a first centering gear that is connected to the centering servo motor and a first centering rack that meshes with the first centering gear, and the stop bar is installed on the first centering rack.

[0012] Furthermore, the centering servo motor drives the centering drive mechanism, causing the two conveying rollers to roll synchronously, thereby moving the finished aluminum material in the opposite direction of the feeding lifting roller bed, thus adjusting the position of the finished aluminum material between the two conveying rollers.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a discharge auxiliary unit disposed on the side of the storage frame; the discharge auxiliary unit includes a discharge cylinder and a discharge baffle driven by the discharge cylinder, wherein the extension and retraction direction of the discharge cylinder is the same as the translation direction of the support plate.

[0014] On the other hand, an automatic framing method for aluminum materials, applied to an automatic framing machine for aluminum materials, includes the following steps:

[0015] S1. The feeding lifting roller bed transports the finished aluminum material to the top of the first conveying device. The feeding lifting roller bed descends, and the finished aluminum material is transferred to the first conveying device.

[0016] S2. The width detection device detects the width of the finished aluminum material and generates a width signal to the second transmission device. When the first transmission device transports the finished aluminum material to the second transmission device, the second transmission device uses the difference in conveying speed to arrange the finished aluminum materials side by side into aluminum profiles.

[0017] S3. The lifting and shifting device moves the aluminum profiles to the storage frame via the support plate.

[0018] S31, the support plate of the lifting and translating device rises to lift the aluminum profile bar from the second conveying device, and the support plate moves to move the aluminum profile bar to the top of the storage box.

[0019] S32, the support plate moves down into the storage frame and moves horizontally away from the storage frame, and the aluminum profile is placed in the storage frame. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automatic aluminum profile framing machine of the present invention includes a first conveying device 1, a width detection device 2, a second conveying device 3, a lifting and translating device 4, and a storage frame 5. The first conveying device 1 is used to convey finished aluminum profiles to the second conveying device 3. The width detection device 2 is used to detect the width of the finished aluminum profiles and generate a width signal to the second conveying device 3. The second conveying device 3 receives the finished aluminum profiles from the first conveying device 1 and adjusts the conveying speed according to the width signal to arrange the finished aluminum profiles into aluminum profile rows for conveying. The second conveying device 3 conveys the aluminum profile rows above the lifting and translating device 4. The lifting and translating device 4 uses a support plate 41 that can perform lifting and translating movements to transport the aluminum profile rows to the storage frame 5.

[0040] The aforementioned automatic aluminum framing machine uses a width detection device 2 to detect the width of the finished aluminum profile and generate a width signal to a second transmission device 3. Once the finished aluminum profile is conveyed to the second transmission device 3, the distance it conveys is equal to the width of the profile. By using this short conveying distance, the second transmission device 3 arranges the finished aluminum profiles continuously conveyed from the first transmission device 1 into aluminum profile rows. Thus, there is no sliding friction between the second transmission device 3 and the finished aluminum profile, reducing wear during the framing process and ensuring the quality of the finished aluminum profiles.

[0041] In one embodiment, the first conveying device 1 includes at least two first conveyor belts 11; the second conveying device 3 includes at least two second conveyor belts 31. Thus, the finished aluminum material is conveyed using at least two first conveyor belts 11, ensuring two-point support conveying; at the same time, the at least two second conveyor belts 31 provide stable and reliable transport.

[0042] In one embodiment, the lifting and translating device 4 includes a lifting component 42 and a translating component 43, with a support plate 41 mounted on the translating component 43. The lifting component 42 includes a lifting motor 421 and a lifting mechanism 422. The lifting motor 421 drives the translating component 43 to move vertically up and down by driving the lifting mechanism 422. The translating component 43 includes a translating motor 431 and a translating mechanism 432. The translating motor 431 drives the translating mechanism 432 to move the support plate 41 along the conveying direction of the second conveying device 3. Specifically, the lifting component 42 lifts the aluminum profile stack from the second conveying device 3, the translating component 43 moves the support plate 41 above the storage frame 5, the lifting component 42 then moves the aluminum profile stack into the storage frame 5, and the translating component 43 retracts the support plate 41 back below the second conveying device 3. Thus, the lifting component 42 and the translation component 43 are used to complete the lifting and translation operation of transferring the aluminum profile from the second conveying device 3 to the storage box 5.

[0043] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 422 includes a mounting base 423, a lifting gear 424 rotatably connected to the mounting base 423 and driven by a lifting motor 421, a lifting rack 425 meshing with the lifting gear 424, and a lifting seat 426 disposed on top of the lifting rack 425; the translation mechanism 432 includes a translation gear 433 driven by a translation motor 431, and a translation rack 434 meshing with the translation gear 433. The translation motor 431 is disposed on the lifting seat 426, and a support plate 41 is mounted on the translation rack 434. Thus, the lifting motor 421 drives the lifting gear 424 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting seat 426 on top of the lifting rack 425 to perform a lifting action; the translation motor 431 drives the translation gear 433 to rotate, thereby driving the support plate 41 on the translation rack 434 to perform a translational / extension action.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, a centering device 6 is also included; the feeding lifting roller bed 7 includes a roller bed frame 71 and a roller assembly 72 disposed on the roller bed frame 71. The roller assembly 72 includes two conveying rollers 73 disposed along the symmetrical line of the storage frame 5; the conveying rollers 73 include an inner roller 731 disposed on the roller bed frame 71, connecting bearings 732 rollingly connected to both ends of the inner roller 731, and an outer roller 733 sleeved on the outer ring of the connecting bearings 732; the centering device 6 includes a centering servo motor 61, a centering drive mechanism 62, a stop bar 63 disposed on the conveying end of the feeding lifting roller bed, and a pressure sensor 64 disposed inside the conveying rollers 73. Specifically, the storage frame 5 is a rectangular material frame. Thus, the feeding lifting roller bed 7 conveys the finished aluminum material until one end of the finished aluminum material is topped by the stop bar 63. The pressure sensor 64 senses the pressure on the inner roller 731. The centering servo motor 61 adjusts the position of the finished aluminum material conveyed on the two conveying rollers 73 through the centering drive mechanism 62 until the pressure difference sensed between the pressure sensors 64 on the two conveying rollers 73 is less than the preset value.

[0045] In one embodiment, the centering drive mechanism 62 includes a first centering gear connected to a centering servo motor 61, a first centering rack meshing with the first centering gear, and a stop bar 63 mounted on the first centering rack. Thus, the centering servo motor 61 drives the first centering gear, which in turn drives the stop bar 63 on the first centering rack to push the finished aluminum material, thereby adjusting the position of the finished aluminum material between the two conveying rollers 73.

[0046] In one embodiment, a discharge auxiliary unit 8 is also included, disposed on the side of the storage frame 5. The discharge auxiliary unit 8 includes a discharge cylinder 81 and a discharge baffle 82 driven by the discharge cylinder 81. The extension and retraction direction of the discharge cylinder 81 is the same as the translation direction of the support plate 41. Specifically, the discharge baffle 82 has a buffer layer in the direction of the aluminum profile array. In this way, the aluminum profile array on the support plate 41 is unloaded and loaded into the storage frame 5 by using the discharge baffle 82, avoiding hard contact between the aluminum profile array and the frame bars of the storage frame 5, thus preventing wear of the finished aluminum material during the loading and unloading process.

[0047] In one embodiment, the conveying roller 73 further includes mounting bases for fixing the two ends of the inner roller 731, and the centering device 6 further includes a horizontal adjustment mechanism for adjusting the horizontal position of the four mounting bases. Thus, by adjusting the horizontal position of the four mounting bases through the horizontal adjustment mechanism, the centerline of the outer roller 733 of the conveying roller 73 is ensured to be in the same plane.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] The automatic aluminum framing machine of this invention is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, except that the centering servo motor 61 drives the centering drive mechanism 62, which in turn drives the two conveying rollers 73 to rotate synchronously. This causes the finished aluminum material to move in the opposite direction to the conveying direction of the feeding lifting roller bed 7, thereby adjusting the position of the finished aluminum material between the two conveying rollers 73. Thus, by using the centering servo motor 61 to drive the centering drive mechanism 62 to rotate the two conveying rollers 73 synchronously, the position of the finished aluminum material between the two conveying rollers 73 is adjusted, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy of the centering device 6 and achieving the centering function.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] An automatic aluminum framing method according to the present invention, applied to the automatic aluminum framing machines in Embodiments 1 and 2, includes the following steps:

[0052] S1. The feeding lifting roller bed transports the finished aluminum material to the top of the first conveying device. The feeding lifting roller bed descends, and the finished aluminum material is transferred to the first conveying device.

[0053] S2. The width detection device detects the width of the finished aluminum material and generates a width signal to the second transmission device. When the first transmission device transports the finished aluminum material to the second transmission device, the second transmission device uses the difference in conveying speed to arrange the finished aluminum materials side by side into aluminum profiles.

[0054] S3. The lifting and shifting device moves the aluminum profiles to the storage frame via the support plate.

[0055] S31, the support plate of the lifting and translating device rises to lift the aluminum profile bar from the second conveying device, and the support plate moves to move the aluminum profile bar to the top of the storage box.

[0056] S32, the support plate moves down into the storage frame and moves horizontally away from the storage frame, and the aluminum profile is placed in the storage frame.

[0057] Thus, the width of the finished aluminum profile is detected by the width detection device and a width signal is generated and sent to the second transmission device. Once the finished aluminum profile is conveyed to the second transmission device, the second transmission device 3 conveys the finished aluminum profile a distance equal to its width. By conveying the finished aluminum profile continuously conveyed from the first transmission device over a short distance, the second transmission device arranges the profiles into aluminum profile rows. In this way, there is no sliding friction between the second transmission device and the finished aluminum profile, reducing wear on the finished aluminum profile during the framing and conveying process and ensuring the production quality of the finished aluminum profile.

[0058] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0059] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
