Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum alloy workpiece processing technology, specifically to a cutting device and cutting process for aluminum alloy workpiece processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of aluminum alloy workpieces, pouring refers to the process of pouring molten aluminum alloy liquid into a pre-prepared casting cavity. The gate is a narrow channel connecting the gating system and the casting cavity. It is the last entry point for molten metal into the cavity. The design of the gate is crucial. It controls the filling speed, flow direction and stability of the molten metal, which directly affects the internal quality of the casting. After pouring, the gate needs to be removed in order to obtain the blank casting.

[0003] In the current aluminum alloy workpiece processing, it is often necessary to manually cut the sprue on the blank workpiece one by one, which leads to low production efficiency. Moreover, manual operation is prone to inconsistent production quality, rework, and even scrapping of workpieces. Cutting the sprue on a single piece is not only slow, but also labor-intensive for workers. At the same time, the cut waste is often scattered everywhere, making it difficult to collect and recycle.

[0018] This invention also provides another technical solution: a machining and cutting process for aluminum alloy workpieces, comprising the following steps:

[0019] S1. Open the pressure cover, place the aluminum alloy workpiece on the placement mold, and then close the pressure cover. Use the rubber pressure block to firmly press the aluminum alloy workpiece onto the placement mold. Then start the drive motor, which drives the cutting drive shaft to rotate, causing the first bevel gear to rotate with the cutting drive shaft. The first bevel gear then drives the second bevel gear to rotate. When the second bevel gear rotates, it drives the first threaded rod to rotate through the first transmission belt. At this time, under the limiting action of the limit rod, it drives the sliding plate to move towards the placement mold. The sliding plate drives the two racks to move simultaneously, and the racks drive the cutting gear to rotate. When the cutting gear rotates, it drives the cam to rotate through the rotating shaft. When the cam rotates, it squeezes the sliding block. The two sliding blocks drive the two translation cutters to move towards the placement mold. When the cam rotates 180 degrees, the horizontally moving translation cutters cut off the excess waste on the aluminum alloy workpiece.

[0020] S2. When the first threaded rod rotates, it drives the second threaded rod to rotate via the second transmission belt. When the second threaded rod rotates, it drives the second transmission gear to rotate via the first transmission gear, causing the outer cylinder to rotate with the second transmission gear. When the outer cylinder rotates, it drives the inner cylinder to rotate on the slide rod via the protrusion. At this time, due to the rotation of the second threaded rod, it drives the translation block to move towards the mold placement direction. The translation block drives the inner cylinder to move towards the aluminum alloy workpiece on the mold placement. The protrusion slides in the moving groove, causing the inner cylinder to drive the rotating cutter to rotate while moving. The rotating cutting tool cuts the waste on the right vertical surface of the aluminum alloy workpiece.

[0021] S3. The cut waste falls into the crushing box. When the drive motor starts, it drives the crushing drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the first crushing gear to rotate via the third transmission belt. When the first crushing gear rotates, it drives the crushing shaft to rotate and also drives the second crushing gear to rotate. This causes the two crushing shafts to rotate in opposite directions, following the first and second crushing gears. The two crushing shafts drive the crushing blocks to rotate and mesh, crushing the waste that fell into the crushing box last time, and then allowing it to fall into the collection trough through the discharge hopper, thus completing the crushing and collection of the waste.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] 1. This invention uses a rotating cam to press a sliding block, causing a translational cutter to follow the sliding block and cut the waste on the bottom horizontal surface of the aluminum alloy workpiece. Then, the rotating inner cylinder drives the rotating cutter to rotate rapidly, so that the waste on the right vertical surface of the aluminum alloy workpiece is removed. This eliminates the need for a dedicated person to cut the sprue waste on the aluminum alloy workpiece, ensuring consistent cutting, reducing the probability of rework, and significantly increasing the cutting speed. This reduces the labor intensity of workers while improving the stability and consistency of the operation.

[0024] 2. This invention uses two crushing shafts to drive the first crushing gear to rotate in opposite directions, which crushes the waste material falling into the crushing box. After the waste material is crushed in the crushing box, it falls into the collection trough for collection, which avoids the waste material from scattering everywhere, reduces the workload of the staff, improves work efficiency, and reduces production costs by centrally recycling and reusing the waste material.

The first bevel gear 805 then drives the second bevel gear 806 to rotate. When the second bevel gear 806 rotates, it drives the first threaded rod 516 to rotate through the first transmission belt 807. At this time, the limiting rod 517 limits the movement. The slide plate 515 is moved towards the mold 506. The slide plate 515 drives the two racks 514 to move simultaneously. The racks 514 then drive the cutting gear 513 to rotate. When the cutting gear 513 rotates, the cam 512 rotates through the rotating shaft 511. When the cam 512 rotates, it squeezes the slide block 508. The two slide blocks 508 drive the two translation cutters 510 to move towards the mold 506. When the cam 512 rotates 180 degrees, the horizontally moving translation cutters 510 cut the excess waste on the aluminum alloy workpiece.

[0052] S2. When the first threaded rod 516 rotates, the second threaded rod 609 is driven to rotate via the second transmission belt 808. When the second threaded rod 609 rotates, the second transmission gear 810 is driven to rotate via the first transmission gear 809, causing the outer rotating cylinder 604 to rotate with the second transmission gear 810. When the outer rotating cylinder 604 rotates, the inner rotating cylinder 606 is driven to rotate on the slide rod 602 via the protrusion 607. At this time, due to the rotation of the second threaded rod 609, the translation block 610 is driven to move towards the placement mold 506. The translation block 610 drives the inner rotating cylinder 606 to move towards the aluminum alloy workpiece on the placement mold 506. The protrusion 607 slides in the moving groove 605, causing the inner rotating cylinder 606 to drive the rotating cutter 608 to rotate during the movement. The rotating cutter 608 cuts the waste on the right vertical surface of the aluminum alloy workpiece.

[0053] S3. The cut waste falls into the crushing box 701. When the drive motor 802 starts, it drives the crushing drive shaft 804 to rotate. The first crushing gear 704 rotates through the third transmission belt 811. When the first crushing gear 704 rotates, it drives the crushing shaft 702 to rotate and drives the second crushing gear 705 to rotate. The two crushing shafts 702 rotate in opposite directions with the first crushing gear 704 and the second crushing gear 705. The two crushing shafts 702 drive the crushing block 703 to rotate and mesh, crushing the waste that fell into the crushing box 701 last time. The crushed waste then falls into the collection trough 707 through the discharge hopper 706, thus completing the crushing and collection of the waste.

A process for machining and cutting aluminum alloy workpieces, applicable to the cutting device for machining aluminum alloy workpieces according to any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1. Open the pressure cover, place the aluminum alloy workpiece on the placement mold, and then close the pressure cover. Use the rubber pressure block to firmly press the aluminum alloy workpiece onto the placement mold. Then start the drive motor, which drives the cutting drive shaft to rotate, causing the first bevel gear to rotate with the cutting drive shaft. The first bevel gear then drives the second bevel gear to rotate. When the second bevel gear rotates, it drives the first threaded rod to rotate through the first transmission belt. At this time, under the limiting action of the limit rod, it drives the sliding plate to move towards the placement mold. The sliding plate drives the two racks to move simultaneously, and the racks drive the cutting gear to rotate. When the cutting gear rotates, it drives the cam to rotate through the rotating shaft.

When the first threaded rod rotates, it drives the second threaded rod to rotate via the second transmission belt. When the second threaded rod rotates, it drives the second transmission gear to rotate via the first transmission gear, causing the outer cylinder to rotate with the second transmission gear. When the outer cylinder rotates, it drives the inner cylinder to rotate on the slide rod via the protrusion. At this time, due to the rotation of the second threaded rod, it drives the translation block to move towards the mold placement direction. The translation block drives the inner cylinder to move towards the aluminum alloy workpiece on the mold placement. The protrusion slides in the moving groove, causing the inner cylinder to drive the rotating cutter to rotate while moving. The rotating cutting tool cuts the waste on the right vertical surface of the aluminum alloy workpiece. S3. The cut waste falls into the crushing box. When the drive motor starts, it drives the crushing drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the first crushing gear to rotate via the third transmission belt. When the first crushing gear rotates, it drives the crushing shaft to rotate and also drives the second crushing gear to rotate. This causes the two crushing shafts to rotate in opposite directions, following the first and second crushing gears. The two crushing shafts drive the crushing blocks to rotate and mesh, crushing the waste that fell into the crushing box last time, and then allowing it to fall into the collection trough through the discharge hopper, thus completing the crushing and collection of the waste.
