[0027] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0028] like Figure 1 The aluminum profile 1 shown needs to be processed on both end surfaces, and the aluminum profile 1 has a hollow inner cavity.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 5 The tooling for processing aluminum profiles shown is used to clamp the aluminum profile 1 so as to process the end surface of the aluminum profile 1 on a CNC machine tool, such as drilling holes.

[0030] The tooling includes a first support seat 2, a second support seat 3 arranged opposite to the first support seat 2, a flipping device rotatably arranged between the first support seat 2 and the second support seat 3, and a driving mechanism for driving the flipping device to rotate.

[0031] The flipping device comprises a first rotating member 4 which is rotatably arranged on the first support seat 2 via a first rotating shaft, a second rotating member 5 which is rotatably arranged on the second support seat 3 via a second rotating shaft, and a mounting plate 8 whose two ends are respectively connected to the first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5. The axis of the first rotating shaft and the axis of the second rotating shaft are collinear, and a mounting hole for accommodating the aluminum profile 1 is provided on the mounting plate 8. The driving mechanism is a motor (not shown in the figure), which drives the first rotating shaft to rotate. The motor is used to drive the flipping to avoid bumps and scratches caused by manual adjustment of the processing surface.

[0032] The flipping device also includes a clamping mechanism disposed on the mounting plate 8 and used for clamping or releasing the aluminum profile 1 , and a positioning mechanism disposed on the mounting plate 8 and used for limiting the mounting height of the aluminum profile 1 on the mounting plate 8 .

[0033] The clamping mechanism includes a first clamp 9 and a second clamp 10 which are respectively arranged on the mounting plate 8 and located at opposite sides of the mounting hole. The first clamp 9 is fixedly arranged on the mounting plate 8, and the second clamp 10 is movably arranged on the mounting plate 8.

[0034] The clamping mechanism also includes a first driving unit, which is used to drive the movable second clamp 10 to move towards or away from the first clamp 9, so that the first clamp 9 and the second clamp 10 cooperate to clamp or release the aluminum profile 1.

[0035] The first driving unit includes a cylinder 11 arranged on the mounting plate 8 and an OK clamp connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 11. The OK clamp is also connected to the second chuck 10. The OK clamp can adopt a one-way OK clamp. The one-way OK clamp has a pressure block and a push block. The pressure block is connected to the cylinder 11, and the push block is connected to the second chuck 10. When the aluminum profile 1 is installed, the mounting plate 8 extends horizontally, and the cylinder 11 is used to drive the pressure block to move up and down, and then drive the push block to move horizontally, thereby driving the second chuck 10 to move on the mounting plate 8, and cooperate with the first chuck 9 to clamp the aluminum profile 1, so that the aluminum profile 1 is easy to install.

[0036] The side surfaces of the first clamp 9 and the second clamp 10 facing the aluminum profile 1 are both provided with matching surfaces matching with the side surfaces of the aluminum profile 1 .

[0037] See also Figure 3 The positioning mechanism includes a positioning member 7 for contacting or separating with the end surface of the aluminum profile 1 and a second driving unit provided on the mounting plate 8 and connected to the positioning member 7, and the second driving unit is used to drive the positioning member 7 away from or close to the aluminum profile 1. The positioning mechanism is provided on the mounting plate 8 and on opposite sides of the mounting hole, which helps to ensure the height of the aluminum profile 1 to be consistent when it is installed.

[0038] The second driving unit is a swing cylinder 6 , which has a swing rod, and a positioning member 7 is connected to the swing rod.

[0039] Specifically, the positioning member 7 has a connecting end connected to the swing rod and a movable end suspended, and the movable end is used to abut or separate from the end of the aluminum profile. When installing the aluminum profile 1, the swing cylinder 6 drives the positioning member 7 to extend and rotate so that the movable end of the positioning member 7 is close to the mounting hole, and the aluminum profile 1 is inserted into the mounting hole until it abuts against the positioning member 7 to limit the installation height of the aluminum profile 1 on the mounting plate 8; when processing the aluminum profile 1, the swing cylinder 6 drives the positioning member 7 to rotate so that the movable end of the positioning member 7 is away from the mounting hole, that is, away from the aluminum profile 1, and at the same time, the positioning member 7 is retracted until the height of the positioning member 7 does not exceed the end of the aluminum profile 1, and the positioning member 7 is retracted to both sides of the aluminum profile 1 without affecting the processing of the end face of the aluminum profile 1.

[0040] When the above-mentioned tooling is used to clamp the aluminum profile 1 on a CNC machine tool, the first support seat 2 and the second support seat 3 are fixed to the processing platform of the CNC machine tool by screws, so that the mounting plate 8 is placed horizontally and the positioning mechanism is located at the bottom, the swing cylinder 6 is turned on, the positioning member 7 is extended and rotated so that the movable end of the positioning member 7 is close to the mounting hole, and the aluminum profile 1 is inserted into the mounting hole until the end of the aluminum profile 1 abuts against the movable end of the positioning member 7, and then the cylinder 11 is started to drive the second chuck 10 to move toward the first chuck 9, so that the second chuck 10 cooperates with the first chuck 9 to clamp the aluminum profile 1, the swing cylinder 6 is closed, the positioning member 7 is retracted and rotated at the same time so that the positioning member 7 is retracted to the side of the aluminum profile 1, and one end face of the aluminum profile 1 is processed.

[0041] When the other end face of the aluminum profile 1 needs to be processed, it is only necessary to start the motor to drive the flip device to flip 180°, that is, the mounting plate 8 also flips 180°, and the processing of the other end face of the aluminum profile 1 can be realized. One clamping can realize the processing of the two end faces of the aluminum profile, which greatly shortens the processing time. In addition, the aluminum profile is flipped by the flip device, which avoids manual adjustment of the processing surface and avoids bumping and scratching of the aluminum profile, greatly improving the processing yield of the aluminum profile.

[0042] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it accordingly. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
