Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy cast bar detection, in particular to a device for detecting the curvature of an aluminum alloy cast bar. Background Art

[0002] The existing jig for testing the curvature of aluminum alloy cast bars is relatively simple. It is formed by two flat steel plates, one above the other, to form a channel. The distance between the two flat steel plates is adjusted to accommodate different rod diameters. When changing the rod diameter specification or allowing deviation, it is necessary to manually adjust the distance between the two flat steel plates of the jig, that is, to place the block of the required rod diameter specification within the distance between the two flat steel plates, and then use a vernier caliper to verify. This manual adjustment method is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, aluminum alloy cast bars that meet the standards can pass through the jig, but those that do not meet the standards will be intercepted by the jig and need to be manually moved away for the next aluminum alloy cast bar to be tested. The entire test jig operation relies heavily on manual labor, and has low adjustability and automation. Utility Model Content

[0029] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the utility model, without changing the essential spirit of the utility model, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural modes and implementation modes. Therefore, the following specific implementation modes and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the utility model, and should not be regarded as the entirety of the utility model or as a limitation or restriction to the technical solution of the utility model.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 This embodiment introduces a device for detecting the curvature of an aluminum alloy cast rod, which is mainly composed of a bottom steel plate 1, a movable component 2, a side plate 7, a pushing component 8, a support seat 3, etc.

[0031] Since the bottom steel plate 1, the movable assembly 2, the side plate 7 and the pushing assembly 8 are all installed on the support seat 3, the support seat 3 will be described first. The support seat 3 is composed of a first horizontal branch 31, a first inclined branch 32, a second horizontal branch 33, a second inclined branch 34 and a third horizontal branch 35 from high to low, and several branches are connected together to form the support seat 3. The first horizontal branch 31 has the highest height, and the third horizontal branch 35 has the lowest height. The first horizontal branch 31 is used to place the aluminum alloy cast rod to be tested, the third horizontal branch 35 is used to place the aluminum alloy cast rod with qualified curvature, and the second horizontal branch 33 is used to install the bottom steel plate 1, the movable assembly 2, the side plate 7 and the pushing assembly 8.

[0032] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the lifting structure 4 is installed on the first horizontal branch 31, and the lifting structure 4 includes a lifting cylinder 41 and a lifting plate 42. A hole is opened on the table top of the first horizontal branch 31, and a lifting plate 42 is arranged in the hole. The bottom of the lifting plate 42 is connected to the movable end of the lifting cylinder 41, and the fixed end of the lifting cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the first horizontal branch 31. The aluminum alloy cast rod to be tested is located on the lifting plate 42, and the top of the lifting plate 42 is preferably an inclined surface inclined toward the second horizontal branch 33. The push plate 6 is driven upward by the lifting cylinder 41 to guide the aluminum alloy cast rod to roll toward the second horizontal branch 33. Under the guidance of the first inclined branch 32, the qualified aluminum alloy cast rod passes through the gap between the movable steel plate 22 and the bottom steel plate 1, and rolls into the third horizontal branch 35 under the guidance of the second inclined branch 34, and the unqualified aluminum alloy cast rod is intercepted at the second horizontal branch 33.

[0033] The bottom steel plate 1 can be installed in the tabletop of the second horizontal branch 33 that can be installed by bolts or other means. That is, the top of the second horizontal branch 33 has an operation of embedding the bottom steel plate 1. After the bottom steel plate 1 is installed, the top of the bottom steel plate 1 is flush with the tabletop of the second horizontal branch 33. The long side of the bottom steel plate 1 forms an inclined surface that slopes outward from top to bottom, which is used to guide the aluminum alloy casting rod to roll in or out. The short side of the bottom steel plate 1 is vertically connected to the side plate 7. The bottom steel plate 1 and the side plate 7 form a "U" shape.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 , the movable component 2 includes a synchronous lifting structure 21, a movable steel plate 22, and a distance sensor 23. The synchronous lifting structure 21 mainly includes a screw 211, a synchronous pulley 212, a synchronous belt 213, a positive and negative motor 214, and a protective shell 215. Two screws 211 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the bottom steel plate 1, and the bottom end of the screw 211 is movably connected to the bottom steel plate 1 through a bearing. The top of the screw 211 is connected to the synchronous pulley 212. The two synchronous pulleys 212 are driven by the synchronous belt 213. To protect the synchronous pulley 212 and the synchronous belt 213, a protective shell 215 is provided at the top of the screw 211 to wrap the synchronous pulley 212 and the synchronous belt 213. At the same time, to stabilize the protective shell 215, the protective shell 215 is fixedly connected to the side plate 7. The positive and negative motor 214 is installed on the top of the protective shell 215, and the output shaft passes through the protective shell 215 and is connected to the top of one of the screws 211. Longitudinal screw holes adapted to the screw 211 are opened on the surface of the movable steel plate 22, and the screw 211 is threadedly connected to the movable steel plate 22 through the screw holes. The two ends of the movable steel plate 22 are pre-adjusted to be parallel to the bottom steel plate 1. By driving the screw 211 to rotate through the positive and negative motor 214, the height of the movable steel plate 22 can be adjusted. The short side of the movable steel plate 22 is in contact with the inner side of the side plate 7, further reducing the shaking of the movable steel plate 22 during up and down movement. A sliding protrusion is horizontally extended from the side of the movable steel plate 22, and a chute adapted to the sliding protrusion is opened on the inner wall of the side plate 7. The sliding protrusion is located in the chute, and the longitudinal movement range of the movable steel plate 22 can be limited by the length of the chute.

[0035] On both sides of the movable steel plate 22 facing away from the side plate 7, the thickness gradually decreases from inside to outside to form an inclined surface, and the edge of the inclined surface is flush with the edge of the side plate 7. A scale ruler for referring to the height of the movable steel plate 22 is provided on the side of the side plate 7. The height of the movable plate from the bottom steel plate 1 can be referred to through the scale ruler, so as to know the distance between the movable steel plate 22 and the bottom steel plate 1. The accuracy of the scale ruler is at most 1 mm, and the accuracy of the scale ruler is determined according to actual requirements and processing conditions. A distance sensor 23 is installed at the bottom of the movable steel plate 22, which can sense the distance between the movable steel plate 22 and the bottom steel plate 1.

[0036] In actual use, a special industrial computer controls the forward and reverse motor 214 to drive the screw 211 to rotate, thereby realizing the longitudinal movement of the movable steel plate 22. The data collected by the distance sensor 23 can be fed back to the industrial computer to better control the forward and reverse motor 214 and move the movable steel plate 22 to the required distance.

[0037] The pushing assembly 8 is mainly composed of a telescopic cylinder 1 81, a support plate 82 and a telescopic cylinder 2 83. A groove is provided at the bottom of the movable steel plate 22, and the groove is horizontally arranged to penetrate one side of the second inclined branch 34. The support plate 82 is located in the groove, and in the initial state, the bottom of the support plate 82 is at most flush with the bottom of the movable steel plate 22. The fixed end of the telescopic cylinder 1 81 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable steel plate 22, and a hole connected to the groove is provided on the movable steel plate 22. The movable end of the telescopic cylinder 1 81 can extend into the groove through the hole and connect with the support plate 82. Therefore, the telescopic cylinder 1 81 is used to drive the support plate 82 to move longitudinally. A through accommodating cavity is horizontally provided in the support plate 82. The fixed end of the telescopic cylinder 2 83 is installed in the accommodating cavity of the support plate 82, and the movable end can extend to the outside of the support plate 82 and face the direction of the first inclined branch 32. When the aluminum alloy casting rod is intercepted, the supporting plate 82 can be moved down and out of the groove by driving the telescopic cylinder 1 81 first, and then the aluminum alloy casting rod can be pushed away by extending the telescopic cylinder 2 83. Since the slide groove limits the range of motion of the movable steel plate 22, if the telescopic cylinder 1 81 is not blocked by the protective shell 215, the telescopic cylinder 1 81 and the synchronous belt 213 can be staggered, that is, the synchronous belt 213 is not located directly above the telescopic cylinder 1, and the bottom of the protective shell 215 has a corresponding hole. When the telescopic cylinder 1 81 follows the movable steel plate 22 to move up to the protective shell 215, the fixed end of the telescopic cylinder 1 81 can pass through the hole and enter the protective shell 215, without hindering the upward movement of the movable steel plate 22.

[0038] The marking paint may be applied to the bottom horizontal edge of the movable steel plate 22 on one side close to the first inclined branch 32. The marking paint may be absorbed by absorbent cotton or the surface of a roller to be embedded in the bottom edge of the movable steel plate 22, so that the bottom of the movable steel plate 22 has the applied marking paint, and the bottom of the marking paint is flush with the bottom of the movable steel plate 22. When the aluminum alloy cast rod is intercepted, the position where the curvature of the cast rod exceeds the tolerance will contact the marking paint, thereby being marked.

[0039] In order to facilitate the unqualified aluminum alloy casting rods to be unloaded, openings are provided on the symmetrical sides of the first inclined branch 32, and the openings are adjacent to the side plates 7. A push cylinder 5 is horizontally installed outside one of the openings, and the movable end of the push cylinder 5 faces the first inclined branch and is connected to the push plate 6. In the initial state, the push plate 6 is located in the side opening. When the unqualified aluminum alloy casting rods are pushed away, the push cylinder 5 can be driven, and the push plate 6 pushes the aluminum alloy casting rods toward the other side opening, and pushes the aluminum alloy casting rods away from the support seat 3.

[0040] Therefore, in this embodiment, the movable steel plate 22 is driven to move by the synchronous lifting structure 21 to adjust the distance between the bottom steel plate 1 and the movable steel plate 22. The distance sensor 23 can detect whether the distance between the bottom steel plate 1 and the movable steel plate 22 reaches the required distance, and can be automatically adjusted to suit different rod diameters and their allowable deviations, saving time and effort. The aluminum alloy cast rods can be pushed away from the distance between the movable steel plate 22 and the bottom steel plate 1 by the pushing component 8, and then the aluminum alloy cast rods can be pushed off the support seat 3 by the pushing cylinder 5 to separate unqualified and qualified aluminum alloy cast rods. It has a sorting function. Qualified products flow downward along the normal channel for stacking and packaging, and unqualified products flow to another channel for stacking, without the need for manual handling.

[0041] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents described above. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
