Specific embodiments

[0017] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a positioning device for laser - cutting special - shaped holes in square tubes, including an I - shaped frame 1 and a support platform plate 2 fixed on one side inside the I - shaped frame 1. The I - shaped frame 1 includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and four rectangular square columns for connecting the top plate and the bottom plate;

[0019] Both end faces at the top of the support platform plate 2 are fixed with front stop seats 7. On the top of the support platform plate 2 on one side of the front stop seat 7, two symmetric U - shaped frames 201 are fixed. At the central position of the top of the support platform plate 2, a link double - way swing - push structure 5 is arranged. The moving ends of the link double - way swing - push structure 5 are respectively installed with a rear sliding plate 3 and a front sliding plate 4 which are slidably matched with the top of the U - shaped frame 201. Right - angle seats 6 are fixed on the outer walls of the rear sliding plate 3 and the front sliding plate 4 away from each other. A rotary self - locking unit 8 for driving the link double - way swing - push structure 5 to work is installed at the bottom of the I - shaped frame 1;

[0020] A sliding guide structure is provided between the bottom ends of the rear slide plate 3 and the front slide plate 4 and the top end of the support plate 2. The sliding guide structure is a rectangular cutting groove 202 provided at the top end of the support plate 2, and a sliding seat slidably installed inside the rectangular cutting groove 202. The top end of the sliding seat penetrates to the outside of the rectangular cutting groove 202. During the process of the rear slide plate 3 and the front slide plate 4 being pushed and displaced by the connecting rod bi-directional swing-push structure 5, the sliding seats at the bottom ends of the front slide plate 4 and the rear slide plate 3 will slide inside the rectangular cutting groove 202, so that the rear slide plate 3 and the front slide plate 4 slide stably;

[0021] The connecting rod bi-directional swing-push structure 5 includes a main shaft 501 rotatably installed at the central position inside the I-shaped frame 1, and a middle arm 502 fixed to one end of the surface of the main shaft 501. Connecting rod monomers 503 are hinged to both ends of the middle arm 502. The end of the connecting rod monomer 503 away from the middle arm 502 is hinged to the back surface of the rear slide plate 3 or the back surface of the front slide plate 4. The main shaft 501 in the connecting rod bi-directional swing-push structure 5 is driven to rotate by the rotation self-locking unit 8. Then the main shaft 501 drives the middle arm 502 to swing. Since the rear slide plate 3, the front slide plate 4 and the ends of the middle arm 502 are connected, the rotational movement of the middle arm 502 is changed into the forward and backward sliding movements of the rear slide plate 3 and the front slide plate 4 under the change of the connecting rod monomer 503. Then the right-angle seat 6 and the front stop seat 7 approach each other to clamp the square tube workpiece in this way. The use of the connecting rod bi-directional swing-push structure 5 can make the rear slide plate 3 and the front slide plate 4 move synchronously, realizing the clamping function of double workpieces, so that the processing equipment can process more workpieces in the same period of time;

[0022] Both the right-angle seat 6 and the front stop seat 7 are made of components of aluminum alloy material. The aluminum alloy material reduces the load and inertia of the overall equipment while ensuring the structural strength and stability of the right-angle seat 6 and the front stop seat 7;

[0023] The rotation self-locking unit 8 includes a stepping motor installed at the bottom of the I-shaped frame 1, and a worm and worm gear transmission structure installed at the output end of the stepping motor for driving the main shaft 501 to rotate. The rotation self-locking unit 8 adopts the cooperation form of a stepping motor and a worm and worm gear transmission structure to ensure that in the set position and state, the connecting rod bi-directional swing-push structure 5 will not loosen or move by itself, and can prevent accidental movement or vibration caused by vibration or external disturbance.

[0024] When the embodiment of the present application is in use, first, the staff passes the square tube workpiece to be positioned through the loop-shaped frame 201. Subsequently, the staff activates the rotary self-locking unit 8 to work. Then, the rotary power of the rotary self-locking unit 8 is transmitted to the link double-sided swing-push structure 5. Driven by the link double-sided swing-push structure 5, the rear slide plate 3 and the front slide plate 4 move away from each other. Then, both the rear slide plate 3 and the front slide plate 4 drive the right-angle seat 6 to move towards the front stop seat 7. During this process, the sliding guide structure at the top of the loop-shaped frame 201 serves to assist the rear slide plate 3 and the front slide plate 4 in sliding. When the right-angle seat 6 moves towards the front stop seat 7, the slope outer wall of the right-angle seat 6 simultaneously applies force to one side of the top of the square tube workpiece until the right-angle seat 6 and the front stop seat 7 stably clamp the square tube workpiece. This device realizes an automated workpiece clamping process. Compared with traditional manual operations, this automated clamping structure can significantly reduce the manual intervention of operators, enabling operators to no longer need to manually screw and press the workpiece up and down, thereby reducing the operation cycle and time cost of workpiece clamping. Moreover, the coordinated work of the rotary self-locking unit 8 and the right-angle seat 6 can also precisely control the clamping force and the position of the workpiece, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the square tube workpiece and ensuring that each workpiece always maintains a stable position and posture during the cutting process.

[0025] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present utility model. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
