Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy profile processing, and in particular to an automated aluminum alloy forming and blanking device and its blanking method. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of aluminum alloy profiles (such as U-shaped profiles), extrusion molding is one of the key steps. After the extruder extrudes the aluminum alloy raw material into shape, the formed aluminum alloy profile needs to be unloaded and collected from the extruder outlet using a feeding device. However, existing feeding devices have many shortcomings in practical applications.

[0003] On the one hand, most existing feeding devices only have single-sided feeding function. This single-sided feeding mode makes the feeding process unable to be carried out continuously. After one side is finished feeding, it is necessary to wait for that side to be ready to receive materials again before the subsequent operation can continue. This greatly limits the feeding efficiency and makes it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale and high-efficiency production. On the other hand, aluminum alloy profiles extruded from the extruder outlet generally exhibit bending. Existing unloading devices are only focused on unloading and cannot straighten bent aluminum alloy profiles. This results in the need for additional manual labor to place each aluminum alloy profile into a dedicated straightening device for straightening after unloading. Manual operation not only increases labor costs, but also makes it difficult to ensure that each aluminum alloy profile is processed in a timely and accurate manner due to the limitations of manual operation, further affecting overall production efficiency and preventing the realization of efficient automation of the production process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems of existing feeding devices, the present invention aims to provide an automated aluminum alloy forming feeding device and feeding method.

[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows: An automated aluminum alloy forming and unloading device, located at the discharge port of an extruder, includes: frame; Two unloading mechanisms are distributed on both sides of the receiving hopper and can be slidably mounted on the frame along the longitudinal direction. Each unloading mechanism has a receiving position for receiving aluminum alloy profiles and an unloading position for unloading aluminum alloy profiles. A driving mechanism is provided to drive the two feeding mechanisms to slide longitudinally, so that the two feeding mechanisms slide between a receiving position and a discharging position, and when one of the feeding mechanisms is raised to the receiving position, the other feeding mechanism is lowered to the discharging position. A receiving hopper is used to receive aluminum alloy profiles output from the extrusion machine outlet. The receiving hopper is rotatably mounted on the top of the frame and located between the two unloading mechanisms. It includes a receiving state for receiving aluminum alloy profiles output from the extrusion machine outlet and an unloading state for feeding the aluminum alloy profiles into one of the unloading mechanisms. When the receiving hopper is in the receiving state, it is horizontally positioned. When the receiving hopper is in the unloading state, it tilts and flips towards one of the unloading mechanisms. A transmission mechanism is connected to the receiving hopper and the two unloading mechanisms. When one of the unloading mechanisms slides up to the receiving position, the other unloading mechanism slides down to the unloading position and drives the receiving hopper to rotate toward the unloading mechanism located at the receiving position, so that the aluminum alloy profile is poured into the unloading mechanism located at the receiving position.

[0006] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the frame includes: a base and a mounting bracket mounted on top of the base, the two feeding mechanisms are slidably mounted on both sides of the mounting bracket, and the receiving hopper is rotatably mounted on top of the mounting bracket; Each of the aforementioned feeding mechanisms includes: A sliding frame is slidably mounted on the mounting frame in the longitudinal direction. The driving mechanism is used to drive the sliding frame to slide in the longitudinal direction. The transmission mechanism is connected between the sliding frame and the receiving hopper. The feeding box is connected to the sliding frame. The outer wall of the feeding box has a discharge port that matches the aluminum alloy profile. When the feeding mechanism moves to the receiving position, the feeding box receives the aluminum alloy profile tilted from the receiving hopper. A straightening and pushing assembly is provided between the sliding frame and the unloading box. When the unloading mechanism moves to the unloading position, the straightening and pushing assembly can automatically straighten the aluminum alloy profile in the unloading box and push the straightened aluminum alloy profile out of the discharge port for unloading.

[0007] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the feeding box has a receiving groove for accommodating aluminum alloy profiles, the receiving groove is matched with the aluminum alloy profiles, and the discharge port communicates with the receiving groove; The compression and feeding assembly includes: A straightening rod is connected to the outside of the sliding frame. The length of the straightening rod matches the length of the receiving groove and is arranged parallel to the length of the receiving groove. The first transmission component connects the unloading box to the sliding frame. When the unloading mechanism is in the unloading position, the longitudinal sliding of the sliding frame can drive the unloading box to move toward or away from the sliding frame via the first transmission component, so that the unloading box has a first position and a second position. When the unloading box is in the first position, the straightening rod is above the side of the unloading box near the sliding frame. When the unloading box is in the second position, the straightening rod is directly above the unloading box. The continued downward movement of the sliding frame can drive the straightening rod to move down synchronously and straighten the aluminum alloy profile in the receiving groove. A pusher component is used to push the straightened aluminum alloy out of the discharge port.

[0008] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the first transmission component includes: A guide plate is located below the sliding frame, and the unloading box is slidably mounted on top of the guide plate. When the unloading mechanism is in the unloading state, the guide plate is in limiting contact with the top of the base. A plurality of guide posts are evenly spaced along the length of the straightening rod. Each guide post is vertically arranged, and the bottom of each guide post is connected to the top of one side of the guide plate, while the other end is slidably connected to the sliding frame. Each guide post is fitted with a compression spring, which abuts against the guide plate and the sliding frame. Two guide frames are respectively located at both ends of the unloading box. Each guide frame is provided with a guide groove. Each guide groove includes an inclined section and a vertical section. The bottom end of the inclined section is connected to the top end of the vertical section. Two sliders are connected to the sliding frame and are slidably disposed in the two guide grooves respectively. When the sliding frame slides down and drives the sliders to slide in the inclined section of the guide groove, the feeding box slides laterally toward the sliding frame. When the slider slides to the top of the vertical section, the feeding box slides directly below the straightening rod. When the slider slides down in the vertical section, the straightening rod moves down and straightens the aluminum alloy in the receiving groove.

[0009] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the pusher component includes: The pusher plate has a push port on the inner outer wall of the feeding box that communicates with the receiving groove. The push port is directly opposite to the discharge port. The pusher plate can slide out or retract to the push port. Mounting plate, the mounting plate being installed on the side of the guide plate near the sliding frame; A plurality of push rods are arranged laterally along the axial direction and are evenly distributed along the length direction of the straightening rod. One end of each push rod is connected to the push plate and the other end is axially slidably mounted on the mounting plate. Each push rod is fitted with a push spring, which abuts against the mounting plate and the push plate.

[0010] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the other end of several of the push rods slides through the mounting plate and is connected to a limiting block, the limiting block being in a limiting engagement with the side of the mounting plate opposite to the push plate; The pushing component further includes: a baffle, which is positioned opposite to the pushing plate and is located outside the discharge port, blocking the discharge port. The baffle and the pushing plate are connected by two connecting rods, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the baffle and the pushing plate. The inner walls at both ends of the receiving groove are provided with sliding grooves, which pass through the push port, the receiving groove and the discharge port. The two connecting rods are slidably disposed in the two sliding grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the guide plate has a plurality of slide rails, which are evenly distributed along the length of the straightening rod, and the bottom of the feeding box has a plurality of sliding grooves, with the plurality of slide rails slidingly engaging with the plurality of sliding grooves respectively; The receiving groove on the feeding box has guide slopes extending upwards on both sides of the groove opening.

[0012] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism includes: A drive shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket; Two drive rods are located at both ends of the sliding frame, and the middle parts of the two drive rods are respectively sleeved on both ends of the drive shaft. Each drive rod is provided with two waist-shaped sliding holes along its length direction. A sliding block is slidably disposed in each waist-shaped sliding hole. The two sliding blocks are respectively connected to the two sliding frames. A drive motor is mounted on the mounting bracket and is connected to the drive shaft for driving the drive shaft to rotate periodically in both directions, so that the sliding block slides in the waist-shaped sliding hole, thereby causing one of the sliding brackets to slide upward and the other sliding bracket to slide downward.

[0013] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes two second transmission components, which are respectively located at both ends of the receiving hopper. Each second transmission component includes: Two pull rods are arranged in a cross pattern. Each pull rod includes a first rod body and a second rod body. One end of the first rod body is hinged to the receiving hopper, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second rod body. The other end of the second rod body is hinged to the sliding frame. Each of the second rods includes: a first telescopic section and a second telescopic section. One end of the first telescopic section is hinged to the other end of the first rod. The other end of the first telescopic section has a telescopic groove along its length. One end of the second telescopic section is hinged to the sliding frame, and the other end is axially slidably disposed in the telescopic groove. The other end of the second telescopic section has a mounting groove along its length. A tension spring is connected between the bottom of the mounting groove and the bottom of the telescopic groove.

[0014] An automated aluminum alloy forming and blanking method includes any one of the aforementioned automated aluminum alloy forming and blanking devices, the blanking method comprising: S1: The aluminum alloy profile extruded from the discharge end of the extruder is cut into sections by the cutting equipment and then fed into the receiving hopper through the inlet of the receiving hopper in the receiving state; S2: When the drive mechanism drives one of the feeding mechanisms to rise to the receiving position and the other feeding mechanism to fall to the unloading position, the feeding mechanism that moves from the receiving position toward the unloading position drives the receiving hopper to flip toward the side of the feeding mechanism that moves from the unloading position to the receiving position through the transmission mechanism, so that the aluminum alloy profile is poured into the feeding mechanism located at the receiving position; S3: When the unloading mechanism at the receiving position carries the aluminum alloy profile down to the unloading position for unloading, the unloading mechanism at the unloading position rises to the receiving position for receiving, thereby realizing unloading on both sides of the device; S4: In step S3, when the unloading mechanism unloads material, the driving mechanism drives the sliding frame of the unloading mechanism located at the receiving position to slide down, and causes the unloading mechanism to carry the aluminum alloy profile down to the unloading position; S5: When the guide plate abuts against the top of the base, the sliding frame continues to slide down, the top of the guide post slides up and compresses the compression spring, while the slider slides in the guide groove; When the slider slides downwards in the inclined section, the feeding box slides laterally toward the sliding frame until the slider slides to the top of the vertical section, at which point the feeding box is located directly below the straightening rod, and the feeding box switches from the first position to the second position. S6: The sliding frame continues to slide down, and the slider slides downward in the vertical section, thereby causing the straightening rod to descend synchronously into the receiving groove; S7: When the aluminum alloy profile in the receiving groove is bent upward or downward, and the feeding box moves from the first position to the second position, the aluminum alloy profile is limited to the discharge port. The aluminum alloy profile is squeezed and compressed by the pushing plate and the pushing spring is compressed, and the pushing rod slides on the mounting plate. At the same time, the straightening rod straightens the aluminum alloy profile. S8: The driving mechanism drives the unloading mechanism to rise from the unloading position to the receiving position. The sliding frame rises and, under the action of the compression spring, drives the slider to reset and slide in the guide groove, and causes the unloading box to slide from the second position toward the first position. When the straightening block disengages from the aluminum alloy profile, the pusher plate pushes the aluminum alloy profile from the outlet to the guide plate under the elastic action of the pusher spring, and pushes the aluminum alloy profile out of the guide plate during the process of the unloading box resetting to the first position to complete the unloading. S9: In step S5, when the aluminum alloy profile in the receiving groove is straight and the unloading box moves from the first position to the second position, the pusher plate can push the aluminum alloy profile directly from the discharge port to the guide plate, and when the unloading box returns from the second position to the first position, the aluminum alloy profile is pushed off the guide plate through the unloading box to complete the unloading.

[0015] The positive effects of the above technical solution compared with the existing technology are: (1) The aluminum alloy automated forming and unloading device of the present invention has two unloading mechanisms. The two unloading mechanisms are distributed on both sides of the receiving hopper and can slide along the longitudinal direction. When one unloading mechanism is in the receiving position, the other is in the unloading position. This can achieve continuous unloading and unloading from both sides of the receiving hopper, effectively improving the unloading efficiency.

[0016] (2) During the operation of the feeding device, when the two feeding mechanisms move between the unloading position and the receiving position, the transmission mechanism can cleverly transmit the power of the longitudinal sliding of the feeding mechanism to the receiving hopper, driving the receiving hopper to automatically flip and switch between the unloading state and the receiving state. This design does not require a separate drive source for the receiving hopper, which not only simplifies the overall structure of the device and reduces the equipment cost, but also reduces the number of power sources, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the device. At the same time, it improves the coordination and stability of the actions between the components, and improves the working efficiency and reliability of the entire feeding device.

[0017] (3) When the receiving hopper is flipped to the unloading state, the aluminum alloy profile is tilted into the unloading box in the unloading mechanism at the corresponding receiving position. When the unloading mechanism is lowered to the unloading position, the aluminum alloy profile in the unloading box can be straightened by the straightening and pushing mechanism, and the straightened aluminum alloy profile is pushed out of the discharge port for unloading, thereby improving the quality of the aluminum alloy profile.

[0018] (4) In this invention, the power required for straightening and pushing aluminum alloy profiles is provided by the downward sliding of the sliding frame, which can further reduce the number of power sources and further reduce the energy consumption of the device. Attached Figure Description

Figure 1-6The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of an automated aluminum alloy forming and unloading device, located at the extrusion outlet 332 of an extruder. It includes a frame 1, two unloading mechanisms 3, a drive mechanism 4, a receiving hopper 2, and a transmission mechanism 5. The two unloading mechanisms 3 are distributed on both sides of the receiving hopper 2 and are slidably mounted on the frame 1. Each unloading mechanism has a receiving position for receiving aluminum alloy profiles and an unloading position for unloading aluminum alloy profiles. The drive mechanism 4 drives the two unloading mechanisms 3 to slide longitudinally, allowing them to slide between the receiving position and the unloading position. When one unloading mechanism 3 is raised to the receiving position, the other unloading mechanism 3 descends to the unloading position. The receiving hopper 2 receives the aluminum alloy profiles output from the extrusion outlet 332. The receiving hopper 2 is rotatably mounted on the top of the frame 1 and located between the two unloading mechanisms 3. It includes a receiving state for receiving aluminum alloy profiles output from the extrusion outlet 332 and an unloading state for feeding aluminum alloy profiles into one of the unloading mechanisms 3. When the receiving hopper 2 is in the receiving state, the receiving hopper 2 is horizontally positioned. When the receiving hopper 2 is in the unloading state, the receiving hopper 2 tilts and flips towards one of the unloading mechanisms 3. The transmission mechanism 5 is connected to the receiving hopper 2 and the two unloading mechanisms 3. When one unloading mechanism 3 slides up to the receiving position, the other unloading mechanism 3 slides down to the unloading position and drives the receiving hopper 2 to tilt and rotate towards the unloading mechanism 3 located in the receiving position through the transmission mechanism 5, so that the aluminum alloy profile is poured into the unloading mechanism 3 located in the receiving position.

[0024] The automated aluminum alloy forming and unloading device in this application has two unloading mechanisms 3, which are distributed on both sides of the receiving hopper 2 and can slide longitudinally. When one unloading mechanism 3 is in the receiving position, the other is in the unloading position, which can achieve continuous unloading and unloading from both sides of the receiving hopper 2, effectively improving unloading efficiency.

[0025] In the operation of the feeding device, when the two feeding mechanisms 3 move between the unloading position and the receiving position, the transmission mechanism 5 can cleverly transmit the power of the longitudinal sliding of the feeding mechanism 3 to the receiving hopper 2, driving the receiving hopper 2 to automatically flip and switch between the unloading state and the receiving state. This design eliminates the need to set a separate drive source for the receiving hopper 2, which not only simplifies the overall structure of the device and reduces equipment costs, but also reduces the number of power sources, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the device. At the same time, it improves the coordination and stability of the actions between various components, and improves the working efficiency and reliability of the entire feeding device.

[0026] Even better, the receiving hopper 2 has a top-opening structure, and the two side walls of the receiving hopper 2 are inclined, which makes it easy for the receiving hopper 2 to flip towards the unloading mechanism 3 to unload materials, and one end of the receiving hopper 2 forms a feeding port for receiving aluminum alloy profiles extruded by the extruder.

[0027] More specifically, when the two feeding mechanisms 3 are at the same height, the receiving hopper 2 is in the receiving state, and the aluminum alloy profiles cut by the extruder outlet are fed into the receiving hopper 2 through the feed port.

[0028] Even better, the bottom of the receiving hopper 2 is equipped with several material rollers and several material tubes that are equally spaced along the length of the receiving hopper 2. When feeding, this reduces the friction between the aluminum alloy profile and the receiving hopper 2 and protects the surface of the aluminum alloy profile.

[0029] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the frame 1 includes: a base 11 and a mounting frame 12 mounted on top of the base 11; two feeding mechanisms 3 are slidably mounted on both sides of the mounting frame 12; and a receiving hopper 2 is rotatably mounted on top of the mounting frame 12. Each feeding mechanism 3 includes: a sliding frame 31, a feeding box 33, and a pressing and pushing assembly 32. The sliding frame 31 is longitudinally slidably mounted on the mounting frame 12. A driving mechanism 4 is used to drive the sliding frame 31 to slide longitudinally, and a transmission mechanism 5 is connected between the sliding frame 31 and the receiving hopper 2. Between the hoppers 2, the feeding box 33 is connected to the sliding frame 31. The outer wall of the feeding box 33 has a discharge port 332 that matches the aluminum alloy profile. When the feeding mechanism 3 moves to the receiving position, the feeding box 33 receives the aluminum alloy profile poured out by the receiving hopper 2. The pressing and pushing component 32 is located between the sliding frame 31 and the feeding box 33. When the feeding mechanism 3 moves to the unloading position, the pressing and pushing component 32 can automatically press the aluminum alloy profile in the feeding box 33 and push the pressed aluminum alloy profile out of the discharge port 332 for unloading.

[0030] In this application, when the receiving hopper 2 is flipped to the unloading state, the aluminum alloy profile is tilted into the unloading box 33 in the unloading mechanism 3 at the corresponding receiving position. When the unloading mechanism 3 descends to the unloading position, the aluminum alloy profile in the unloading box 33 can be straightened by the straightening and pushing mechanism, and the straightened aluminum alloy profile is pushed out of the discharge port 332 for unloading, thereby improving the quality of the aluminum alloy profile.

[0031] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the unloading box 33 has a receiving groove 331 for accommodating aluminum alloy profiles. The receiving groove 331 matches the aluminum alloy profiles, and the discharge port 332 communicates with the receiving groove 331. The pressing and pushing assembly 32 includes a pressing rod 321, a first transmission component 322, and a pushing component 323. The pressing rod 321 is connected to the outside of the sliding frame 31. The length of the pressing rod 321 matches the length of the receiving groove 331 and is arranged parallel to the length of the receiving groove 331. The unloading box 33 is connected to the sliding frame 31 through the first transmission component 322. When the unloading mechanism 3 is in the unloading position, the sliding frame... The longitudinal sliding of 31 can drive the feeding box 33 to move toward or away from the sliding frame 31 through the first transmission component 322, so that the feeding box 33 has a first position and a second position. When the feeding box 33 is in the first position, the straightening rod 321 is above the side of the feeding box 33 close to the sliding frame 31. When the feeding box 33 is in the second position, the straightening rod 321 is directly above the feeding box 33. The straightening rod 321 can be driven to move down synchronously through the continued downward sliding of the sliding frame 31 to straighten the aluminum alloy profile in the receiving groove 331. The pushing component 323 is used to push the straightened aluminum alloy profile out of the discharge port 332.

[0032] In this application, when the feeding mechanism 3 moves to the unloading position, it can continue to slide longitudinally through the sliding frame 31 and transmit power to the feeding box 33 through the first transmission component 322, so that the feeding box 33 moves from the first position to the second position, thereby making the straightening rod 321 directly above the feeding box 33. Then, the sliding frame 31 slides down and drives the straightening rod 321 to descend synchronously, so as to straighten the aluminum alloy profile in the feeding box 33.

[0033] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the first transmission component 322 includes a guide plate 3226, a plurality of guide posts 3224, two guide frames 3222, and two sliders 3221. The guide plate 3226 is located below the sliding frame 31. The unloading box 33 is slidably mounted on the top of the guide plate 3226. When the unloading mechanism 3 is in the unloading state, the guide plate 3226 is in limiting contact with the top of the base 11. The plurality of guide posts 3224 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the straightening rod 321. Each guide post 3224 is vertically arranged, and the bottom of the plurality of guide posts 3224 is connected to the top of one side of the guide plate 3226, and the other end is slidably connected to the sliding frame 31. Each guide post 3224 is fitted with a compression spring 3225, which abuts against the guide plate 3226 and the sliding frame 31. Between 1, two guide frames 3222 are respectively located at both ends of the unloading box 33. Each guide frame 3222 is provided with a guide groove. Each guide groove includes an inclined section 3222b and a vertical section 3222a. The bottom end of the inclined section 3222b is connected to the top end of the vertical section 3222a. Two sliders 3221 are connected to the sliding frame 31 and are slidably disposed in the two guide grooves respectively. When the sliding frame 31 slides down and drives the slider 3221 to slide in the inclined section 3222b of the guide groove, the unloading box 33 slides horizontally and toward the sliding frame 31. When the slider 3221 slides to the top of the vertical section 3222a, the unloading box 33 slides to the bottom of the straightening rod 321. When the slider 3221 slides down in the vertical section 3222a, the straightening rod 321 moves down and straightens the aluminum alloy in the receiving groove 331.

[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the pushing component 323 includes a pushing plate 3235, a mounting plate 3232, and a plurality of pushing rods 3234. The inner outer wall of the feeding box 33 has a pushing port 333 communicating with the receiving groove 331. The pushing port 333 is arranged opposite to the discharge port 332. The pushing plate 3235 can slide out or retract to the pushing port 333. The mounting plate 3232 is installed on the side of the guide plate 3226 near the sliding frame 31. The axial direction of the plurality of pushing rods 3234 is arranged laterally and is evenly distributed along the length direction of the straightening rod 321. One end of the plurality of pushing rods 3234 is connected to the pushing plate 3235, and the other end is axially slidably installed on the mounting plate 3232. Each pushing rod 3234 is sleeved with a pushing spring 3233, and the pushing spring 3233 abuts between the mounting plate 3232 and the pushing plate 3235.

[0035] Specifically, when the unloading mechanism 3 moves from the receiving position to the unloading position, the sliding frame 31 slides downward and drives the unloading box 33 to descend synchronously. When the guide plate 3226 contacts the top of the base 11, as the sliding frame 31 continues to slide down, it will drive the inclined end of the slider 3221 in the guide groove to slide towards the vertical section 3222a, thereby driving the unloading box 33 to slide from the first position to the second position. When the unloading box 33 slides to the second position, the pressure rod is located directly above the receiving groove 331. The sliding frame 31 continues to slide down and squeezes the compression spring 3225, while the slider 3221 slides in the vertical groove. The straightening rod 321 follows the sliding frame 31 and slides down synchronously. When the straightening rod 321 contacts the bent (bent upward or downward) aluminum alloy profile in the receiving groove 331, it will straighten the aluminum alloy profile. During the process of the feeding box 33 sliding from the first position to the second position, the pusher plate 3235 has a tendency to move towards the inside of the receiving groove 331. When the aluminum alloy profile inside the receiving groove 331 is in a straight state, the pusher plate 3235 directly pushes the aluminum alloy profile out of the discharge port 332 on the feeding box 33. When the aluminum alloy profile inside the receiving groove 331 is in a bent state, when the pusher plate 3235 pushes the aluminum alloy profile, the discharge port 332 limits the aluminum alloy profile, thereby compressing the pusher spring 3233 and moving towards the second position synchronously with the feeding box 33. After the straightening rod 321 straightens the aluminum alloy profile, the unloading mechanism 3 begins to move from the unloading position toward the receiving position. At this time, the sliding frame 31 slides upward and drives the straightening rod 321 to slide upward synchronously. When the straightening rod 321 disengages from the straightened aluminum alloy profile, the push spring 3233 releases its elastic force and drives the push plate 3235 to push the aluminum alloy profile in the receiving groove 331 out of the discharge port 332. Meanwhile, under the action of the compression spring 3225, the guide plate 3226 continues to contact the base 11. When the slider 3221 slides from the vertical section 3222a into the inclined section 3222b, the unloading box 33 slides back to the first position from the second position and pushes the aluminum alloy profile pushed out from the discharge port 332. When the slider 3221 slides to the top of the inclined section 3222b and is limited to the top inner wall of the inclined section 3222b, the unloading box 33 pushes the aluminum alloy profile down the guide plate 3226 to complete the unloading of the aluminum alloy profile. Next, the sliding frame 31 continues to slide upward, driving the unloading box 33 to rise synchronously until the unloading box 33 rises to the receiving position of the unloading mechanism 3.

[0036] In this application, the power required for straightening and pushing aluminum alloy profiles is provided by the downward sliding of the sliding frame 31, which can further reduce the number of power sources and further reduce the energy consumption of the device.

[0037] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the other end of several push rods 3234 slides through the mounting plate 3232 and is connected to a limiting block 3231. The limiting block 3231 is in a limiting fit with the side of the mounting plate 3232 away from the push plate 3235. The push component 323 also includes a baffle 3237, which is directly opposite to the push plate 3235. The baffle 3237 is located outside the discharge port 332 and blocks the discharge port 332. The baffle 3237 and the push plate 3235 are connected by two connecting rods 3236, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the baffle 3237 and the push plate 3235. The inner walls of both ends of the receiving groove 331 have sliding grooves 335. The sliding grooves 335 pass through the push port 333, the receiving groove 331 and the discharge port 332. The two connecting rods 3236 are slidably disposed in the two sliding grooves 335.

[0038] The purpose of setting baffle 3237 in this application is to prevent the aluminum alloy profile received by the unloading mechanism 3 from falling from the discharge port 332 during the unloading process when the unloading mechanism 3 carries the aluminum alloy profile from the receiving position to the unloading position. This prevents damage to the aluminum alloy profile. Since baffle 3237 is connected to push plate 3235 through connecting rod 3236, when push plate 3235 pushes the aluminum alloy profile out of discharge port 332, baffle 3237 is disengaged from discharge port 332 and does not affect the normal unloading of aluminum alloy profile.

[0039] Since the connecting rod 3236 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 335, the influence of the connecting rod 3236 on the space of the receiving groove 331 can be avoided, thereby allowing the aluminum alloy profile to smoothly enter the receiving groove 331 when it is in the receiving position.

[0040] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the guide plate 3226 has a plurality of slide rails 3226a, which are evenly distributed along the length of the straightening rod 321.

The receiving groove 331 on the feeding box 33 has guide slopes extending upward on both sides of the groove opening.

[0041] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism 4 includes: a drive shaft 43, two drive rods 42, and a drive motor 41. The drive shaft 43 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 12. The two drive rods 42 are located at both ends of the sliding bracket 31, and the middle parts of the two drive rods 42 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the drive shaft 43. Each drive rod 42 is provided with two oblong sliding holes 421 along its length direction. Each oblong sliding hole 421 is slidably provided with a sliding block 44. The two sliding blocks 44 are respectively connected to the two sliding brackets 31. The drive motor 41 is mounted on the mounting bracket 12 and is connected to the drive shaft 43 for transmission, and is used to drive the drive shaft 43 to rotate periodically in both directions, so that the sliding block 44 slides in the oblong sliding hole 421, thereby causing one sliding bracket 31 to slide upward and the other sliding bracket 31 to slide downward.

[0042] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the transmission mechanism 5 includes two second transmission components 51, which are located at both ends of the receiving hopper 2. Each second transmission component 51 includes two pull rods 511, which are arranged in a crisscross pattern. Each pull rod 511 includes a first rod body 5111 and a second rod body 5112. One end of the first rod body 5111 is hinged to the receiving hopper 2, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second rod body 5112. The other end of the second rod body 5112 is hinged to the sliding frame 31. The second rod 5112 includes: a first telescopic section 5112a and a second telescopic section 5112c. One end of the first telescopic section 5112a is hinged to the other end of the first rod 5111. The other end of the first telescopic section 5112a has a telescopic groove along its length. One end of the second telescopic section 5112c is hinged to the sliding frame 31, and the other end is axially slidably disposed in the telescopic groove. The other end of the second telescopic section 5112c has an installation groove along its length. A tension spring 5112b is connected between the bottom of the installation groove and the bottom of the telescopic groove.

[0043] In this application, the second rod 5112 is composed of a first telescopic section 5112a, a second telescopic section 5112c, and a tension spring 5112b, which can meet the length requirements of the pulling rod 511 required by the working conditions.

[0044] This application also discloses an automated forming and blanking method for aluminum alloys, including any of the aforementioned automated forming and blanking devices for aluminum alloys, wherein the blanking method includes: S1: The aluminum alloy profile extruded from the extruder outlet is cut into sections by the cutting equipment and then fed into the receiving hopper 2 through the inlet of the receiving hopper 2 in the receiving state; S2: When the drive mechanism 4 drives one of the feeding mechanisms 3 to rise to the receiving position and the other feeding mechanism 3 to fall to the unloading position, the feeding mechanism 3 that moves from the receiving position to the unloading position drives the receiving hopper 2 to flip to the side of the feeding mechanism 3 that moves from the unloading position to the receiving position through the transmission mechanism 5, so that the aluminum alloy profile is poured into the feeding mechanism 3 located at the receiving position. S3: When the unloading mechanism 3 at the receiving position carries the aluminum alloy profile down to the unloading position for unloading, the unloading mechanism 3 at the unloading position rises to the receiving position for receiving, thereby realizing unloading on both sides of the device. S4: In step S3, when the unloading mechanism 3 is unloading, the drive mechanism 4 drives the sliding frame 31 of the unloading mechanism 3 located at the receiving position to slide down, and causes the unloading mechanism 3 to carry the aluminum alloy profile down to the unloading position. S5: When the guide plate 3226 abuts against the top of the base 11, the sliding frame 31 continues to slide down, the top of the guide post 3224 slides up and squeezes and compresses the compression spring 3225, while the slider 3221 slides in the guide groove. When the slider 3221 slides downwards at an inclination within the inclined section 3222b, the feed box 33 slides laterally toward the sliding frame 31 until the slider 3221 slides to the top of the vertical section 3222a. At this point, the feed box 33 is located directly below the straightening rod 321, and the feed box 33 switches from the first position to the second position. S6: The sliding frame 31 continues to slide down, and the slider 3221 slides down in the vertical section 3222a, thereby causing the straightening rod 321 to descend synchronously into the receiving groove 331; S7: When the aluminum alloy profile in the receiving groove 331 is bent upward or downward, and the feeding box 33 moves from the first position to the second position, the aluminum alloy profile is limited to the discharge port 332. The aluminum alloy profile is squeezed and compressed by the pusher plate 3235 to compress the pusher spring 3233, and the pusher rod 3234 slides on the mounting plate 3232. At the same time, the straightening rod 321 straightens the aluminum alloy profile. S8: The drive mechanism 4 drives the unloading mechanism 3 to rise from the unloading position to the receiving position. The sliding frame 31 rises and, under the action of the compression spring 3225, drives the slider 3221 to reset and slide in the guide groove, and causes the unloading box 33 to slide from the second position toward the first position. When the pressing block disengages from the aluminum alloy profile, the push plate 3235 pushes the aluminum alloy profile from the discharge port 332 to the guide plate 3226 under the elastic action of the push spring 3233. During the process of the unloading box 33 resetting to the first position, the aluminum alloy profile is pushed out of the guide plate 3226 to complete the unloading. S9: In step S5, when the aluminum alloy profile in the receiving groove 331 is in a straight state and the unloading box 33 moves from the first position to the second position, the pusher plate 3235 can push the aluminum alloy profile directly from the discharge port 332 to the unloading box 33 onto the guide plate 3226. When the unloading box 33 is reset from the second position to the first position, the aluminum alloy profile is pushed off the guide plate 3226 through the unloading box 33 to complete the unloading.
