Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aluminum profile production equipment, in particular to an aluminum rod feeding device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of aluminum processing technology, the handling and processing of aluminum bars is an important task. The traditional handling method is usually carried out manually or with simple mechanical equipment. This method is not only inefficient, but also easily causes damage to the aluminum bars during the handling process, affecting product quality.

[0003] In the field of aluminum profile processing technology, aluminum is extruded from aluminum bars (aluminum ingots) through an extrusion process to form aluminum profiles with a certain cross-sectional shape and high mechanical properties. Before and after the extrusion process, the aluminum bars are sent to the center line of the extruder through a bar feeder, and then the aluminum bars are extruded, or the aluminum bars after extrusion need to be moved out of the extrusion station.

[0004] However, the existing rod feeding machine simply clamps and transports the aluminum rods through two aluminum rod clamping arms. The upper and lower clamping angles and spaces of the aluminum rod clamping arms are limited. The aluminum rod clamping arms are prone to jumping when moving forward, or they are still easy to slide during the clamping process, which not only affects the handling efficiency, but also may cause the aluminum rod to fall, causing damage to the surface of the aluminum rod, and causing safety accidents. In addition, the above-mentioned rod feeding method causes inaccurate positioning of the aluminum rod, resulting in inaccurate center line alignment in the subsequent extrusion process, which seriously affects the performance and quality of the final aluminum rod product.

[0035] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.

[0036] like Figure 1-5As shown, an aluminum rod feeding device comprises a horizontal pulley frame 1, and a rod holder 2 for placing and transmitting aluminum rods A; the rod holder 2 is installed on the horizontal pulley frame 1, and is driven by the horizontal pulley frame 1 to slide in the horizontal direction; the rod holder 2 comprises a driving wheel 21, at least one driven wheel 22, a guide plate 23, a first fixed pulley group 24, a second fixed pulley group 25, a transmission chain 26, and a transmission motor (not shown in the figure), each of the driving wheels 21 and the driven wheels 22 are arranged side by side, and the driving wheels 21 and the driven wheels 22 are respectively installed between the two guide plates 23, and the transmission motor The machine is connected to the driving wheel 21 in transmission, the transmission chain 26 is mounted on the driving wheel 21 and the driven wheel 22, the first fixed pulley group 24 and the second fixed pulley group 25 are respectively installed on the two guide plates 23, and the guide plates 23, the driving wheel 21, the driven wheel 22, the first fixed pulley group 24, and the second fixed pulley group 25 are mutually surrounded by a rod body accommodating cavity A for accommodating the aluminum rod; when the aluminum rod A is horizontally fed into the rod body accommodating cavity from the end of the rod container 2 under the action of the transmission chain 26, the aluminum rod A is driven by the horizontal pulley frame 1 to transfer horizontally.

[0037] The present application improves the structure of the rod holder 2, specifically by designing structures such as a chain transmission mechanism and a pulley block, so as to improve the feeding efficiency and feeding quality of the aluminum rods A.

[0038] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the aluminum rod feeding device also includes a clamping device 3 for clamping the aluminum rod A, and the clamping device 3 includes a rod pressing seat 31, a clamping cylinder 32, and a first horizontal sliding mechanism 33; the rod pressing seat 31 is slidably installed on the top of the horizontal slide frame 1 through the first horizontal sliding mechanism 33, and the clamping cylinder 32 is transmission-connected to the rod pressing seat 31 to drive the rod pressing seat 31 to move up and down.

[0039] In order to improve the stability of subsequent horizontal transportation, it is preferred to set a clamping device 3 on the top of the aluminum bar A, which can be used to combine the first fixed pulley group 24 and the second fixed pulley group 25 to clamp the aluminum bar A in multiple directions during the horizontal transportation of the aluminum bar A, thereby improving the stability of horizontal transportation. At the same time, the design of multiple fixed pulley groups can reduce the sliding friction between the aluminum bar A and the aluminum bar A. In a relaxed state, the aluminum bar A can slide left and right along the rollers through the guiding effect of the rollers, protecting the surface of the aluminum bar A from being scratched and ensuring the quality of the aluminum bar A. At the same time, this design makes it more convenient to remove the aluminum bar A, improves work efficiency, and also reduces the labor intensity of operators.

[0040] As a further preferred solution of the present application, a third fixed pulley block 34 is installed at the bottom of the bar pressing seat 31. When the aluminum bar A is transported, the bar pressing seat 31 is pressed down to the upper surface of the aluminum bar, and the third fixed pulley block 34 cooperates with the first fixed pulley block 24 and the second fixed pulley block 25 to clamp the aluminum bar A. The design of the third fixed pulley block 34 can reduce the sliding friction between the aluminum bar A and the surface of the aluminum bar A, protect the surface of the aluminum bar A from being scratched, and ensure the quality of the aluminum bar A.

[0041] As a further preferred solution of the present application, the first horizontal sliding mechanism 33 is a structure of a horizontal sliding rail 331 and a sliding block 332 .

[0042] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the aluminum rod feeding device also includes a swinging device 4 for swinging the rod holder 2 left and right and up and down, and the swinging device 4 includes a universal joint 41 and a lifting cylinder 42; one end of the universal joint 41 is hinged to one side of the guide plate 23, and the other end of the universal joint 41 is hinged to the horizontal pulley frame 1; one end of the lifting cylinder 42 is hinged to the bottom of the guide plate 23, and the other end is hinged to the horizontal pulley frame 1.

[0043] In the present application, since the position of the feeding port of the aluminum profile extruder is usually difficult to completely align with the cross-sectional position of the aluminum rod A, it is necessary to manually fine-tune the relative position of the aluminum rod A, resulting in a decrease in the timeliness of the entire feeding process. For this reason, the present application designs a swing device 4. When the aluminum rod A is unloaded to the feeding port of the aluminum profile extruder under the action of the conveyor chain 26, the rod holder 2 is fine-tuned in the up and down directions and left and right directions under the joint action of the universal joint 41 and the lifting cylinder 42, so that the aluminum rod A can complete the alignment process with the feeding port of the aluminum profile extruder during the unloading process, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the aluminum rod A.

[0044] As a further preferred solution of the present application, the aluminum rod feeding device further comprises a rail base frame 5 , and the horizontal slide frame 1 performs horizontal sliding motion on the rail base frame 5 along the length direction of the rail base frame 5 through a second horizontal sliding mechanism 6 .

[0045] As a further preferred solution of the present application, the second horizontal sliding mechanism 6 is a structure of a horizontal slide rail 61 and a slider 62 .

[0046] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the horizontal pulley frame 1 includes a pulley base frame 11 and a pulley top frame 12; the pulley top frame 12 is fixed on the pulley base frame 11 and is arranged in a "Z" shape; the bottom of the pulley base frame 11 is movably mounted on the guide rail base frame through the second horizontal sliding mechanism 6, and the rod holder 2 is installed on the pulley top frame 12.

[0047] In the present application, by arranging two sections of pulley frames with different horizontal positions, the weight and center of gravity of the rod holder 2 at the end of the pulley top frame 12 can be balanced, so that the horizontal transfer process of loading the aluminum rods A is smoother.

[0048] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, the aluminum rod feeding device also includes an aluminum rod positioning device 7 arranged at one end of the rod container 2, the aluminum rod positioning device 7 includes an aluminum rod positioning frame 71 and an aluminum rod positioning cylinder 72 installed on the aluminum rod positioning frame 71, and the aluminum rod positioning cylinder 72 is arranged in a horizontal direction and is located on one side of the rod body accommodating cavity.

[0049] The present application designs an aluminum rod positioning device 7, which can pre-position the aluminum rod A in the rod accommodating cavity, shorten the alignment time with the aluminum profile extruder feeding port after subsequent horizontal transfer, and improve the feeding efficiency of the aluminum rod A.

[0050] As a further preferred embodiment of the present application, a buffer spring 73 is also sleeved on the aluminum rod positioning cylinder 72. By designing the buffer spring 73, the pressure on the aluminum rod A when it is loaded into the rod body accommodating cavity under the action of external force can be buffered, and the aluminum rod positioning cylinder 72 can also be protected to extend its service life.

[0051] The working process of the aluminum bar feeding device of this application is as follows:

[0052] The aluminum rod positioning device 7 is fixed on one side of the rail base frame 5, and this position serves as the loading position of the aluminum rod A. When the aluminum rod A is gradually pushed into the rod body accommodating cavity from one end of the rod holder 2 by the loading device or manually, at this time, the aluminum rod positioning cylinder 72 of the aluminum rod positioning device 7 supports the aluminum rod A from the other end of the rod body accommodating cavity, so that it is located at a predetermined position in the rod body accommodating cavity, thereby completing the loading action of the aluminum rod A.

[0053] Subsequently, the horizontal slide frame 1 drives the rod holder 2 to move horizontally along the length direction of the rail base frame 5, thereby conveying the aluminum rod A to the loading port of the aluminum profile extruder. Since the position of the loading port of the aluminum profile extruder and the cross-sectional position of the aluminum rod A are usually difficult to fully align, it is necessary to manually fine-tune the relative position of the aluminum rod A, resulting in a decrease in the timeliness of the entire loading process. For this reason, the present application designs a swing device 4. When the aluminum rod A is unloaded from the rod holder 2 to the loading port of the aluminum profile extruder, the rod holder 2 is directly shaken under the action of the universal joint 41 and the lifting cylinder 42, so that the rod holder 2 can be fine-tuned in the left and right and up and down directions, so as to quickly position with the loading port of the aluminum profile extruder, and quickly enter the aluminum profile extruder through the loading port to complete the feeding action of the aluminum rod A.

[0054] The above-mentioned implementation modes are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
