Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum sheet processing technology, and more specifically, to an aluminum sheet processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, aluminum cabinet panels commonly employ a hollow structure to reduce weight and cost. However, this structure has significant deficiencies in terms of pressure and impact resistance, making it prone to deformation or dents under external forces, affecting the product's aesthetics and lifespan. Existing technologies improve structural strength by filling the space between two parallel panels with reinforcing components (such as square tubing or corrugated tubing), followed by edge banding, rounding, and polishing after adhesive bonding. However, these processes largely rely on manual labor, presenting the following problems: Inefficient: The processes of applying glue, cutting, and grinding need to be completed in separate steps, which is cumbersome and makes it difficult to achieve assembly line production. Insufficient precision: Manual operation can easily lead to uneven application of adhesive, deviations in fillet dimensions, and inconsistent surface roughness after sanding; High costs: Labor intensity increases production costs, and human error can lead to material waste; Safety hazards: High-speed rotating cutting and grinding tools pose operational risks, and direct human contact can easily lead to workplace injuries.

[0003] Although some automated equipment has been applied to single processes (such as CNC cutting machines), the lack of integrated design means that frequent adjustments to workstations are required when multiple machines are working together, resulting in large equipment footprints and complex programming. Furthermore, existing equipment is prone to mechanical interference when switching processing components, further hindering production efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a highly integrated, multi-process collaborative automated processing equipment to address these technical pain points. Summary of the Invention

Two sets of X-axis linear modules are fixed on two sets of uprights. The Y-axis linear module includes a Y-axis guide rod extending along the Y-axis direction and a second traveling assembly that travels on the Y-axis guide rod.

[0023] In practical applications, the cutting component 3, grinding component 4, and gluing component 2 are respectively installed in the three mounting holes 5026 of the three sets of drive units 502. First, the sealing plate in the aluminum plate is placed on the worktable 1. The driving component 5023 drives the moving component 5024, the mounting plate 5025, and the gluing component 2 fixed on the mounting plate 5025 to move and move along the guide rod 5021 to the lowest point. At this time, the gluing component 2 is located in the center of the three sets of drive units 502. The shifting component 6 drives the gluing component 2 to move into place. The valve on the glue outlet pipe 202 is opened to discharge the adhesive in the tank 201 and apply it to the sealing plate for subsequent bonding of reinforcing parts (square tubes or corrugated plates, etc.). After the gluing is completed, the driving component 5023 drives the gluing component 2 to move upward and leave the processing position located in the center.

[0024] After assembling the sealing plate, reinforcing member, and edge banding strip, the drive unit 5023 is activated to move the moving member 5024, the mounting plate 5025, and the cutting assembly 3 fixed on the mounting plate 5025. The cutting assembly 3 moves along the guide rod 5021 to the lowest point. At this time, the cutting assembly 3 is located at the center of the three drive units 502. The shifting assembly 6 drives the cutting assembly 3 to move into place. The first drive motor 301 is activated to drive the rounded corner cutting tool 302 to rotate and perform rounded corner cutting on the edge banding strip. During this process, the shifting assembly 6 drives the cutting assembly 3 to move along the edge of the aluminum plate so that the cutting assembly 3 can perform rounded corner cutting on the edge of the aluminum plate. After the rounding is completed, the drive unit 5023 drives the cutting assembly 3 to move upward and away from the processing position located in the center.

[0025] After the rounding is completed, the drive unit 5023 drives the moving part 5024, the mounting plate 5025, and the grinding assembly 4 fixed on the mounting plate 5025 to move and move along the guide rod 5021 to the lowest point. At this time, the grinding assembly 4 is located at the center of the three drive units 502. The shifting component 6 drives the grinding assembly 4 to move into place. The second drive motor 401 starts and drives the rounded corner grinding tool 402 to rotate and grind the processed rounded corner area. During this process, the shifting component 6 drives the grinding assembly 4 to move along the edge of the aluminum plate so that the grinding assembly 4 grinds the edge of the aluminum plate. After grinding is completed, the drive unit 5023 drives the grinding assembly 4 to move upward and away from the processing position located in the center.
