Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an aluminum profile sampling system includes a main support 1, a conveying roller device, a sawing device 2, and a sampling device 19.

[0022] The conveying roller device includes a conveying bracket 17 and a conveying roller 18. The conveying roller 18 is disposed on the conveying bracket 17. Multiple sets of conveying rollers 18 are disposed on the conveying bracket 17 at intervals and evenly, for carrying aluminum profiles. The conveying rollers 18 are driven to rotate by a motor, and the aluminum profiles are moved forward by the conveying rollers 18.

[0023] The main support 1 is located on one side of the conveyor roller device.

[0024] The sawing device 2 is mounted on the main support 1 and includes a sawing machine for cutting aluminum profiles located on the conveying roller 18.

[0025] The sampling device 19 is mounted on the main support 1 and includes a reduction motor 3, a rotating shaft 4, a rotating swing arm 5, a rotating shaft support 6, a linear guide rail 7, a lifting base 8, a lower support plate 9, and a first lifting cylinder 10.

[0026] The geared motor 3 and the rotating shaft support 6 are both mounted on the main support 1. The rotating shaft support 6 is located below the geared motor 3, and the rotating shaft 4 is mounted on the rotating shaft support 6 and rotatably connected to it. Preferably, the rotating shaft support 6 has a through hole for the rotating shaft 4 to pass through, and a bearing or copper sleeve structure is provided between the rotating shaft support 6 and the rotating shaft 4 to allow the rotating shaft 4 to rotate freely relative to the rotating shaft support 6. The upper end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the geared motor 3, which drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate.

[0027] One end of the rotating arm 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 4. The rotating shaft 4 rotates to drive the rotating arm 5 to swing, and the rotating arm 5 is located above the conveying roller device.

[0028] The linear guide rail 7 is mounted on the rotating swing arm 5, and the length direction of the linear guide rail 7 is vertical. The lifting base 8 is mounted on the linear guide rail 7 and can move up and down on the linear guide rail 7. The first lifting cylinder 10 is mounted on the rotating swing arm 5 and located above the linear guide rail 7. The axial direction of the first lifting cylinder 10 is the same as the length direction of the linear guide rail 7, both being vertical. The piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 10 is connected to the lifting base 8 and is used to drive the lifting base 8 to move up and down. The lower support plate 9 is connected to the lifting base 8.

[0029] With the above technical solution, when sampling is required, the geared motor 3 first drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate the rotating arm 5, causing the lower support plate 9 to move above the conveying roller device. Then, the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 10 extends, causing the lifting base 8 to lower the lower support plate 9, moving it below the aluminum profile, specifically between the two sets of conveying rollers 18 of the conveying roller device, and below the conveying rollers 18, so that it does not spatially interfere with the movement path of the aluminum profile on the conveying roller device. At this time, the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 10 retracts, causing the lower support plate 9 to lift the aluminum profile located on the conveying roller 18. The sawing machine of the sawing device 2 cuts the aluminum profile. After the cutting is completed, the saw blade of the sawing machine retracts, and the cut aluminum profile is transported to the outside of the conveying roller device through the lower support plate 9. Specifically, the geared motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate the rotating arm 5 180 degrees, causing the lower support plate 9 to lift the aluminum profile and rotate together, completing the sampling of the aluminum profile.

[0030] When the testing department conducts sampling tests on some aluminum profiles, manual operation is inconvenient and affects the production rhythm and capacity. The sampling system disclosed in this application can conveniently, quickly and save production time by sampling and testing continuously extruded aluminum profiles, thereby improving the production cycle.

[0031] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the above-mentioned technical solution has the technical problem that during the sawing process, since only the lower support plate supports the aluminum profile, the cutting process is unstable, and the cut aluminum profile is prone to falling off the lower support plate. Under the condition that the rotation speed of the rotating arm 5 is relatively fast, the aluminum profile is prone to slipping off the lower support plate due to insufficient friction. In view of this, the sampling device 19 also includes a second lifting cylinder 11 and an upper pressure plate 12. The second lifting cylinder 11 is disposed on the rotating arm 5 and located above the lower support plate 9, and the upper pressure plate 12 is located below the second lifting cylinder 11 and connected to the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder 11.

[0032] With the above settings, before the aluminum profile is cut, the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 10 retracts and the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder 11 extends, so that the lower support plate 9 and the upper pressure plate 12 together clamp the aluminum profile. Then the sawing device saws the aluminum profile. After the sawing is completed, the reduction motor 3 drives the rotating arm 5 to rotate while the lower support plate 9 and the upper pressure plate 12 are clamping the aluminum profile. This solves the technical problem of the aluminum profile falling off the lower support plate during the sawing process and the transportation of the aluminum profile. At the same time, it can increase the swing speed of the rotating arm 5 and improve work efficiency.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating swing arm 5 includes a first horizontal beam 13, a vertical beam 14, and a second horizontal beam 15. The first end of the first horizontal beam 13 along its length is connected to the rotating shaft 4. The lower end of the vertical beam 14 is connected to the second end of the first horizontal beam 13 along its length. The first end of the second horizontal beam 15 along its length is connected to the upper end of the vertical beam 14. Reinforcing ribs are provided between the first horizontal beam 13 and the vertical beam 14, and between the second horizontal beam 15 and the vertical beam 14, to enhance the connection strength. The linear guide rail 7 is mounted on the vertical beam 14, and both the first lifting cylinder 10 and the second lifting cylinder 11 are mounted on the second horizontal beam 15.

[0034] As a supplement to the above technical solution, the sampling device 19 further includes a guide rod 16. The second crossbeam 15 has a through hole through which the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder 11 passes. The second lifting cylinder 11 is located above the second crossbeam 15, and its rod-side end cap is fixed to the second crossbeam 15. The piston rod of the second lifting cylinder 11 passes through the through hole on the second crossbeam 15 and connects to the upper pressure plate 12 located below the second crossbeam 15. The second crossbeam 15 also has a guide hole for the guide rod 16 to pass through. The guide rod 16 passes through the guide hole on the second crossbeam 15, and its lower end connects to the upper pressure plate 12. This arrangement makes the lifting and lowering action of the upper pressure plate 12 driven by the second lifting cylinder 11 more stable.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the rodless end cap of the first lifting cylinder 10 is hinged to the second crossbeam 15, and the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 10 is hinged to the lifting base 8. Since one end of a portion of the lower support plate 9 is connected to the lifting base 8, and the entire weight of the aluminum profile is applied to the lower support plate 9, the lower support plate 9 exerts a force on the lifting base 8 in addition to gravity. Under prolonged use, the lifting base 8 is prone to deformation. When the first lifting cylinder 10, the second crossbeam 15, and the lifting base 8 are all fixedly connected, it affects the lifting effect of the lifting base 8. By using the aforementioned hinged design, the technical effect of ensuring that the first lifting cylinder 10 can smoothly drive the lifting base 8 to slide on the linear guide rail 7 can be achieved even when the lifting base 8 deforms. Another purpose of the hinged design is to solve the problem that the first lifting cylinder is not positioned directly above the linear guide rail 7 due to installation accuracy errors, thus affecting its operational performance.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
