Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aluminum profile processing technology, specifically relating to an intelligent straightening device for aluminum profiles. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process, aluminum profiles generally require extrusion molding. After extrusion molding, some of the profiles are often bent, affecting their usability. Therefore, after extrusion molding, aluminum profiles need to be straightened by straightening equipment. Currently, the main straightening structure of straightening equipment consists of two rows of straightening rollers. The straightening rollers are rotated by a drive device, causing the bent part of the aluminum profile to be straightened after passing through the straightening rollers. However, in actual use, some aluminum profiles often have grooves in the middle, such as T-grooves. When the groove walls are thin, the groove walls are squeezed by the straightening rollers during the straightening process, which can easily cause the groove walls to become concave, thus affecting the usability of the aluminum profile. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent straightening device for aluminum profiles to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An intelligent straightening device for aluminum profiles includes a support frame with a housing fixed to it. The housing has an inlet for the aluminum profile to enter and an outlet for the aluminum profile to exit. Multiple upper straightening rollers and multiple lower straightening rollers are arranged inside the housing, with both upper and lower straightening rollers having the same height and being correspondingly arranged. The device body has a first driving device for rotating the upper and lower straightening rollers. A mounting block is located on the support frame near the outlet, and a support bar is fixed to the mounting block, extending between the upper and lower straightening rollers.

[0005] Preferably, the mounting block is slidably connected to the bracket, and the bracket is provided with a second driving device for moving the mounting block back and forth.

[0006] Preferably, the second drive device is a linear reciprocating motor.

[0007] Preferably, the support bar is a T-shaped bar.

[0008] Preferably, rollers are installed on both sides of the top of the support bar, and the height of the top of the rollers is greater than the height of the top of the support bar.

[0009] Preferably, a pressure sensor is installed at the front end of the support bar, and a processor is provided on the support block. The pressure sensor and the second driving device are electrically connected to the processor, respectively. In the initial state, the front end of the support bar is set with the first and second straightening wheels at the front end. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is greater than the threshold, the processor controls the second driving device to drive the mounting block back to the initial state, then pauses the movement of the mounting block driven by the second driving device, and restarts the second driving device at certain intervals to continue driving the mounting block.

[0010] Preferably, multiple upper correction wheels and multiple lower correction wheels are set in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0011] When the aluminum profile intelligent straightening device provided by the present invention is in use, the aluminum profile enters the housing through the inlet. The groove of the aluminum profile moves backward in accordance with the support bar. When the bent part of the aluminum profile reaches the position of the upper straightening wheel and the lower straightening wheel, the straightening wheel squeezes the bent part. The bent part continues to move backward as it is being straightened, so that the support bar can support the aluminum profile inside the groove during the process of the bent part being straightened. This can effectively prevent the groove wall of the aluminum profile from concave during the straightening process. Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an intelligent straightening device for aluminum profiles according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. For ease of understanding, arrows are used to indicate the front and rear positions in the figure. Figure 2 One of the side structural diagrams of the mounting block and support strip is shown; Figure 3 The second side structural diagram of the mounting block and support strip is shown; The attached reference numerals in the figure are: bracket 10, housing 20, upper straightening wheel 30, lower straightening wheel 40, mounting block 50, support bar 60, second drive device 70, and roller 80. Entrance 21, Exit 22. Detailed Implementation

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0014] Example: This invention provides an intelligent straightening device for aluminum profiles, see [link to example]. Figure 1The device includes a bracket 10, on which a housing 20 is fixed. The housing has an inlet 21 for aluminum profiles to enter and an outlet 22 for aluminum profiles to exit. Inside the housing, multiple upper straightening wheels 30 and multiple lower straightening wheels 40 are arranged. The upper straightening wheels and the lower straightening wheels are of the same height and are arranged correspondingly, preferably in a one-to-one correspondence. The device body is provided with a first driving device for driving the upper and lower straightening wheels to rotate. The arrangement of the upper and lower straightening wheels and the first driving device is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. A mounting block 50 is provided on the bracket near the outlet, and a support bar 60 is fixed on the mounting block. The support bar extends between the multiple upper and lower straightening wheels.

[0015] When the aforementioned intelligent straightening equipment for aluminum profiles is in use, the aluminum profile enters the housing through the inlet. The groove of the aluminum profile corresponds to the support bar moving backward. When the bent part of the aluminum profile reaches the position of the upper and lower straightening wheels, the straightening wheels squeeze the bent part. The bent part continues to move backward as it is being straightened, so that the support rod can support the aluminum profile inside the groove during the process of the bent part being straightened. This can effectively prevent the groove wall of the aluminum profile from concave during the straightening process. Generally, the front end of the support rod is set to correspond to the front upper and lower straightening wheels. The correspondence can be to the axis of the upper and lower straightening wheels, or it can be to the position slightly behind the axis.

[0016] In actual manufacturing, the mounting block can be fixedly connected to the bracket. In this embodiment, the mounting block is slidably connected to the bracket. The bracket is equipped with a second driving device 70 for driving the mounting block to move back and forth. The second driving device is preferably a linear reciprocating motor. By driving the support bar to move back and forth by the reciprocating motor, the inner wall of the groove and the support bar can move relative to each other during the straightening process of the aluminum profile, preventing the aluminum profile groove from clamping the support bar.

[0017] In this example, the support strip can be a T-shaped strip, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The corresponding groove in this structure is a T-shaped groove; see [link / reference]. Figure 3 Alternatively, it can be a strip-shaped support block with rollers 80 installed on both sides of the top. The top height of the rollers is slightly greater than the top height of the support strip. This reduces the friction between the support strip and the inner wall of the groove, further preventing the aluminum profile groove from clamping the support strip. Of course, the support strip can also be a semi-circular strip or other shapes to accommodate a semi-circular groove or other shaped structure.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a pressure sensor is installed at the front end of the support bar, and a processor is provided on the support block. The pressure sensor and the second driving device are electrically connected to the processor. In the initial state, the front end of the support bar is set to correspond to the first and second straightening wheels at the front end. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is greater than the threshold, the processor controls the second driving device to drive the mounting block back to the initial state and then pauses the movement of the mounting block driven by the second driving device. After a certain period of time (e.g., 5 seconds), the second driving device is started to continue driving the mounting block. In this way, when the front end of the support bar moves to the bent part of the aluminum profile, if it is in front of the upper and lower straightening wheels, it can be reset in time to prevent the support bar from blocking the bent part of the aluminum profile and affecting the backward movement of the aluminum profile. It also prevents the aluminum profile from moving to a position where the rear end is too far from the first and second straightening wheels at the front end when the support bar moves backward, thus failing to provide support during correction.

[0019] In actual manufacturing, if necessary, straightening wheels and drive devices that drive the straightening wheels to rotate can also be installed on both sides of the support bar inside the housing. This is something that those skilled in the art can easily achieve based on the above description, and will not be elaborated here.
