[0002] As a common building decoration material, aluminum gusset plates are widely used in interior design and construction projects because of their light weight, durability and good aesthetic properties. In order to meet specific design needs or functional requirements, such as installing lamps, ventilation equipment or acoustic optimization, it is often necessary to groove or drill holes in the aluminum gusset plates. Handling the aluminum gusset plates on site is not only inefficient, but also involves the risk of working at heights, generating a lot of metal dust, which can easily harm human health if inhaled. Since the aluminum gusset plates are soft in material and are greatly affected by the workers' craftsmanship, burrs are often left after processing, and therefore rework is often required. Traditional grooving and drilling devices are not intelligent enough, have a low level of automation, and have low efficiency in grooving and drilling, which is not conducive to construction schedules.

[0049] In order to facilitate ordinary technicians in this field to understand and implement the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation examples. It should be understood that the implementation examples described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0050] Next, combine Figures 1 to 11 The aluminum gusset plate slotting and hole punching robot and method provided by the present invention are introduced in detail.

[0051] The present invention provides a robot and method for slotting and drilling aluminum gusset plates, so as to solve the difficulties of low efficiency, poor quality and lack of intelligence in slotting and drilling aluminum gusset plates.

[0052] Depend on Figure 1As shown, the aluminum gusset plate slotting and hole punching robot of the present invention comprises a fixing mechanism 1000, which is mainly responsible for fixing aluminum gusset plates of different shapes such as square and round to facilitate subsequent slotting and hole punching. The fixed telescopic rotating mechanism 2000 is connected to the fixing mechanism 1000 through the fixing mechanism telescopic rod 2003, which can realize the up and down movement of the fixing mechanism 1000 to facilitate slotting and hole punching. The first motor 2005 below it can realize the rotation of all the mechanisms above to achieve the purpose of hole punching. The two-axis slide 3000 can realize the arbitrary movement of the fixing mechanism 1000 and the fixed telescopic rotating mechanism 2000 on the horizontal plane, thereby ensuring that the aluminum gusset plate can be moved to any functional area. The vertical, horizontal and oblique slotting mechanism 4000 can complete the vertical, horizontal and oblique slotting tasks of the aluminum gusset plate, and the hole punching device 5000 realizes the hole punching task of the aluminum gusset plate. The smoothing mechanism 6000 can smooth the position of the aluminum gusset plate after slotting and hole punching. The robot arm 7000 is mainly capable of clamping processing waste and placing it into the waste collection mechanism 8000.

[0053] Depend on Figure 2 As shown, the fixing mechanism 1000 mainly relies on a gear rack mechanism to complete its work, including a limiting circular collar 1004, a driving internal gear 1007 and three driven internal gears 1005 rotatably mounted in the internal cavity of the limiting circular collar 1004 and distributed circumferentially, an external gear 1008 meshing with the driving internal gear 1007 and the driven internal gears 1005 and rotating in the internal cavity, four racks 1003 slidably mounted on the top surface of the limiting circular collar 1004 and meshing with the driving internal gear 1007 and the three driven internal gears 1005, and a fan-shaped fixing housing 1002 bonded to the racks 1003. The fixing housing 1002 has a positioning groove for placing the aluminum gusset plate. During operation, the gear motor 1006 drives the active internal gear 1007 to rotate, and the active internal gear 1007 then drives the external gear 1008 to rotate, and the external gear 1008 then drives the driven internal gear 1005 to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the four gears. The gear drives the rack 1003 to move, and finally realizes the synchronous movement of the fixed shell 1002 bonded to the rack 1003, and finally fixes the aluminum gusset plate through interference fit. The driven internal gear 1005 is sleeved on the gear fixing part 1009, and the driven internal gear 1005 is installed at the bottom of the internal cavity of the limiting circular ring 1004 through the gear motor 1006 and the fixing part 1009. The structure of the limiting circular ring 1004 is as shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown, the rectangular stopper at the top fits into the groove below the rack 1003, limiting the movement of the rack 1003. The inner cavity of the stop ring 1004 accommodates the outer gear 1008 and ensures its rotation. A nozzle 1001 is installed on the top of the fixed shell 1002. When the aluminum gusset plate is slotted and perforated, the nozzle 1001 can spray water to clean the chips from the slotting and perforation.

[0054] Depend on Figure 5 As shown, the fixed telescopic rotating mechanism 2000 is located below the fixed mechanism 1000 and includes a suction cup telescopic rod 2002 located in the center and multiple fixed mechanism telescopic rods 2003 distributed in a circular pattern around the suction cup telescopic rod 2002. The telescopic movement of the suction cup telescopic rod 2002 controls the up and down movement of the suction cup 2001 at its top. The suction cup telescopic rod 2002 extends into the internal cavity of the limiting circular collar 1004 through the through hole in the middle of the limiting circular collar 1004. The suction cup 2001 can absorb the aluminum gusset plate to make the fixation more secure. At this time, the suction cup telescopic rod 2002 pushes the aluminum gusset plate upward, making it firmly close to the upper surface of the fixed shell 1002, achieving the above-mentioned interference fit. The top of the fixed mechanism telescopic rod 2003 is inserted into the groove at the bottom of the limiting circular collar 1004. The fixed mechanism telescopic rod 2003 can realize the up and down movement of the fixed mechanism 1000, ensuring smooth slotting and hole opening. The first motor 2005 can realize the rotation of all the mechanisms loaded thereon. Simultaneously, after the slotting and hole-making are completed, the suction cup telescopic rod 2002 can also push out the large waste after the slotting and hole-making. The shell 2004 protects the internal structure.

[0055] Depend on Figure 6 As shown, the two-axis slide 3000 is located below the fixed telescopic rotation mechanism 2000 and primarily enables horizontal movement in the XY plane. It includes a longitudinally arranged Y-axis screw 3015, a slide housing 3004 threadedly connected to the Y-axis screw 3015, a support rod 3006 arranged parallel to the Y-axis screw 3015 and slidably connected to the slide housing 3004, driven screws 3002 located at both ends of the slide housing 3004 and threadedly connected to the slide housing 3004, an X-axis screw 3005 located transversely within the slide housing 3004, and a slide 3003 threadedly connected to the X-axis screw 3005. Movement in the X direction (lateral direction) is achieved by the combined operation of the slide 3003, the slide housing 3004, the X-axis screw 3005, and the second motor 3013. The first motor 2005 is fixed to the slide 3003. The second motor 3013 drives the X-axis screw 3005 to rotate, and the X-axis screw 3005 can drive the slide 3003 to move in the X direction. The movement in the Y direction (longitudinal direction) is driven by Figure 6The remaining parts shown are complete. The first motor 3010 drives the Y-axis screw rod 3015 to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the slide housing 3004 in the Y-axis direction. At the same time, the first motor 3010 also drives the rotation of the active pulley 3011, further driving the belt 3012 to rotate. The rotation of the belt 3012 will in turn drive the pulley 3008 to rotate. Afterwards, the pulley 3008 fixed to the end of the driven screw rod 3002 will drive the driven screw rod 3002 to rotate. The three screw rods ensure the reliability of the structure. The support rod 3006 passes through the slide housing 3004 and plays a guiding role in the movement in the Y direction. The two ends of the support rod 3006 are provided with threaded holes, which are respectively connected to the fixed block 3009 and the baffle 3014 by screws. The fixed block 3009 and the baffle 3014 are again connected to the frame body of the slotting and perforating machine of the present invention by screws. The first bearing 3001 and the second bearing 3007 are installed at both ends of the driven screw rod 3002 to ensure the stability of the driven screw rod 3002.

[0056] Depend on Figure 7 As shown, the vertical, horizontal and oblique slotting mechanism 4000 is located above the fixing mechanism 1000 and includes two parallel guide rails 4007, aluminum alloy connecting blocks 4004 located at both ends of the guide rails 4007 and connected between the two guide rails 4007, a slotting screw 4010 arranged parallel to the guide rails 4007, a positioning block 4006 threadedly connected to the slotting screw 4010, a slotting platform 4003 connected above the positioning block 4006, sliders 4008 fixed at both ends of the slotting platform 4003 and slidably connected to the guide rails 4007, and a blade 4001 mounted on the slotting platform 4003. The blade 4001 can perform the slotting function, a blade housing 4002 can protect the blade 4001, and a blade motor (not shown) drives the blade 4001 to rotate. The slotting platform 4003 is connected to the slider 4008 and the positioning block 4006. The slotting motor 4005 rotates the slotting screw 4010, which in turn moves the positioning block 4006, thereby moving the slotting platform 4003 and the slider 4008. The aluminum alloy connecting block 4004 is connected to the guide rail 4007 via screws. The slotted bearing 4009 secures the slotting screw 4010 and is also connected to the aluminum alloy connecting block 4004 via screws.

[0057] Depend on Figure 8As shown, the hole-opening device 5000 is located above the fixing mechanism 1000, and includes a circular hole-opening shell 5010, a rotating plate 5002 located above the circular hole-opening shell 5010, a hole-opening motor 5001 that drives the rotating plate 5002 to rotate around its center, a rotating arm 5004 that is rotatably connected to the four corners of the rotating plate 5002 through a cylindrical pin 5003 and a ball bearing 5005, and a turning tool fixing block 5007 hinged to the other end of the rotating arm 5004. Four turning tool guide rails 5009 distributed in a circle are provided on the top of the circular hole-opening shell 5010. The turning tool guide rails 5009 extend radially along the circular hole-opening shell 5010. A turning tool slider 5008 is slidably connected to the turning tool guide rail 5009. The turning tool fixing block 5007 is fixed above the turning tool slider 5008. A turning tool 5006 is fixed on the turning tool fixing block 5007. Its main function is to realize the hole-opening of the aluminum gusset plate. The turning tool 5006 is bolted to the turning tool fixing block 5007, which is in turn bolted to the turning tool slider 5008. The turning tool slider 5008 is mounted on the turning tool guide rail 5009 and can move freely. The drilling motor 5001 is connected to the rotating plate 5002 via a key. The rotating arm 5004 is connected to the rotating plate 5002 via a ball bearing 5005 and a cylindrical pin 5003. The rotating arm 5004 can rotate around the cylindrical pin 5003. The other end of the rotating arm 5004 is hinged to one side of the turning tool fixing block 5007. The drilling motor 5001 drives the rotating plate 5002 to rotate, causing the rotating arms 5004 around the rotating plate 5002 to move synchronously, thereby driving the four turning tool fixing blocks 5007 and the turning tool slider 5008 to move synchronously along the turning tool guide rail 5009. The circular drilling housing 5010 protects the drilling motor 5001 within. The circular opening housing 5010 is driven to rotate by the second motor 5011, and the second motor 5011 can drive the rotation of all the mechanisms above.

[0058] Depend on Figure 9 As shown, the smoothing mechanism is located above the fixing mechanism 1000 and is a file 6001. After the aluminum gusset plate has been slotted or drilled, it comes to the smoothing mechanism 6000. The up and down movement of the telescopic rod 2003 of the fixing mechanism and its movement on the two-axis slide 3000 smoothes the slotted or drilled area on the file 6001.

[0059] Depend on Figure 10As shown, the robotic arm 7000 is mounted on one side of the two-axis slide 3000 and comprises a gripper 7001, which is primarily responsible for gripping scrap material from slots or holes. The gripper 7001 moves on a gripper rail 7002 and is connected to a cylinder 7003, whose expansion and contraction controls the tension of the gripper 7001. When the aluminum gusset plate reaches the gripping area, the suction cup extension rod 2002 lifts the scrap material, and the suction cup 2001 stops sucking. The gripper turntable 7004 shifts the gripper 7001 to a vertical position, and the arm extension rod 7005 extends forward to grip the scrap material. Once the gripper 7001 has gripped the scrap material, the horizontal turntable 7009 rotates to a designated position, and the gripper turntable 7004 shifts the gripper 7001 to a horizontal position. Release the gripper 7001, and the scrap material falls into the scrap collection mechanism 8000. The robotic arm support rod 7006 ensures the stability of the device. A horizontal adjustment motor 7008 is connected to the horizontal adjustment rod 7007, the other end of which is connected to the robotic arm support rod 7006. Rotation of the horizontal adjustment motor 7008 adjusts the position of the horizontal adjustment rod 7007, thereby controlling the height of the robotic claw 7001. The entire robotic arm 7000 is connected to the waste collection mechanism 8000 via a base 7010.

[0060] Depend on Figure 11 As shown, the waste collection mechanism 8000 is composed of a box 8001 and a collection cabinet 8002. After the waste is put down by the mechanical claw 7001, it will fall into the collection cabinet 8002, so that the waste can be cleaned up as needed, recycled, etc.

[0061] Accordingly, the aluminum gusset plate slotting and hole punching method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0062] Method for creating vertical, horizontal, and oblique grooves in aluminum gussets: The rack 1003 drives the fixed housing 1002 to secure the aluminum gusset, which then moves to the grooved area via the two-axis slide 3000. Since the blade 4001 of the vertical, horizontal, and oblique groove mechanism 4000 can only move in a straight line, the position of the aluminum gusset is adjusted through the combined operation of the first motor 2005 of the fixed telescopic rotation mechanism 2000 and the two-axis slide 3000, so that its grooved position is always directly below the blade 4001. Once the position is determined, the blade motor drives the blade 4001 to rotate, extending the fixed mechanism telescopic rod 2003 of the fixed telescopic mechanism 2000, allowing the blade 4001 to cut through the aluminum gusset. The grooved movement motor 4005 then drives the grooved screw 4010 to rotate, further driving the positioning block 4006 and the grooved platform 4003 to move, thereby achieving linear grooves. The fixed mechanism telescopic rod 2003 is then shortened, and the above steps are repeated to reposition and create grooves. After the slotting is completed, the suction cup telescopic rod 2002 is extended to push out the processing waste, and the two-axis slide 3000 brings the waste to the clamping area of ​​the mechanical claw 7001 for waste disposal.

[0063] The method for drilling holes in aluminum gussets is as follows: The two-axis slide 3000 brings the aluminum gusset to the drilling area, ensuring that the center of the aluminum gusset is aligned with the center of the rotating plate 5002. The drilling motor 5001 is then activated, driving the rotating plate 5002 to rotate. This also causes the cylindrical pin 5003 to rotate, causing the rotating arm 5004 to move, ultimately moving the turning tool fixing block 5007, thereby changing the drilling radius. The second motor 5011 then rotates at high speed, slowly extending the fixing mechanism's telescopic rod 2003, completing the drilling of the aluminum gusset.

[0064] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be understood by anyone familiar with the technology within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
