Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum profile processing equipment, specifically to a clamping structure and a profile production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of aluminum alloy profiles, a crucial step is anodizing. This process involves placing the aluminum profile or aluminum alloy product as the anode in a specific electrolyte solution and electrolyzing it to form a thin aluminum oxide film with a thickness of several micrometers to several hundred micrometers on the surface. Compared to the oxide film naturally formed under natural conditions, this anodized film exhibits significantly improved corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and decorative properties. Therefore, anodizing plays an indispensable role in enhancing the overall performance of aluminum profiles.

[0003] However, in existing anodizing processing technology, the traditional clamping method mainly uses clamps to fix aluminum profiles to conductive rods to ensure the stability and conductivity of aluminum profiles during electrolysis. However, traditional clamps and conductive rods often lack precise matching design, which makes it impossible for the clamps and conductive rods to be completely locked during the clamping process. This leads to relative displacement or even slippage between the two, which not only seriously affects the stability of aluminum profiles during the clamping process, but may also lead to a decrease in conductivity, thereby reducing the efficiency and quality of anodizing processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the problem that the clamp and the conductive rod cannot be completely locked together during the clamping process, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a clamping structure, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0005] A clamping structure includes a conductive rod and a clamp. A conductive rib is provided on one side wall of the conductive rod, and a snap-fit ​​protrusion is provided on the side wall of the conductive rod away from the conductive rib. The clamp includes two clamping arms hinged together, forming a clamping opening between the two clamping arms. The conductive rod is disposed within the clamping opening. Each of the two clamping arms has a snap-fit ​​groove adapted to the snap-fit ​​protrusion. The snap-fit ​​groove on one clamping arm engages with the snap-fit ​​protrusion, and the snap-fit ​​groove on the other clamping arm engages with the conductive rib to clamp the profile.

[0006] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​protrusion includes a first protrusion, a second protrusion, and a third protrusion, which are sequentially disposed on the side wall of the conductive rod away from the conductive rib. The snap-fit ​​groove includes a first groove and a second groove, wherein the first groove and the second groove on one of the clamping arms respectively engage with the second protrusion and the third protrusion for snap-fit.

[0007] Furthermore, the distance between the first convex strip and the second convex strip is equal to the distance between the second convex strip and the third convex strip.

[0008] Furthermore, the two clamping arms have identical and symmetrical structures. Each clamping arm includes a clamping part, a protrusion, and a hinge part. The clamping part is fixedly connected to the hinge part. The protrusion is located on one side of the hinge part. The hinge parts of the two clamping arms are hinged together by a hinge structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the hinge structure includes a spring and a pin, the spring being disposed within two hinge portions, and the pin passing through the two hinge portions and the spring in sequence.

[0010] Furthermore, each hinge portion has a locking groove on the side away from the protrusion, the two locking grooves are interconnected, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to one of the locking grooves, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the other locking groove.

[0011] Furthermore, each slot groove is provided with a receiving groove at one end near the clamping part, and the two receiving grooves are recessed towards the protrusion.

[0012] Furthermore, drainage holes are provided on both clamping arms.

[0013] Furthermore, both clamping arms are equipped with slag discharge troughs.

[0014] Another objective of this utility model is to provide a profile production line.

[0015] A profile production line includes a clamping structure as described above, a conveying device for conveying profiles, and a feeding device for flipping and mounting the profiles located on the conveying device onto the clamping structure.

[0016] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The clamping structure of this invention features a snap-fit ​​protrusion on the conductive rod and snap-fit ​​grooves on each of the two clamping arms. When the snap-fit ​​protrusion engages with the snap-fit ​​groove, the clamping arms and the conductive rod are locked together, effectively preventing the aluminum profile from shifting or even falling off during processing and ensuring the stability of the aluminum profile during clamping. The precise fit design between the snap-fit ​​protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove improves clamping stability and conductivity, thereby enhancing the efficiency and quality of the anodizing process.

[0028] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a clamping structure in one embodiment of the present invention includes a conductive rod 1 and a clamp 2. A conductive rib 11 is provided on one side wall of the conductive rod 1, and a snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 is provided on the side wall of the conductive rod 1 away from the conductive rib 11. The clamp 2 includes two clamping arms 21 that are hinged to each other, forming a clamping opening between the two clamping arms 21. The conductive rod 1 is disposed in the clamping opening. Each of the two clamping arms 21 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 22 that is adapted to the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12. The snap-fit ​​groove 22 on one clamping arm 21 engages with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12, and the snap-fit ​​groove 22 on the other clamping arm 21 engages with the conductive rib 11 to clamp the profile 3, ensuring the stability of the aluminum profile 3 during the clamping process. By providing a snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 on the conductive rod 1 and snap-fit ​​grooves 22 that are adapted to the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 on the two clamping arms 21 respectively, when the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 is fitted into the snap-fit ​​groove 22, the clamping arms 21 and the conductive rod 1 are locked together, ensuring the stability of the conductive rod during operation. This effectively prevents the aluminum profile 3 from shifting or even falling off during processing, effectively ensuring the stability of the aluminum profile 3 during clamping, and improving processing efficiency and quality.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 includes a first protrusion 121, a second protrusion 122, and a third protrusion 123, which are sequentially arranged on the side wall of the conductive rod 1 away from the conductive rib 11; the snap-fit ​​groove 22 includes a first groove 221 and a second groove 222, wherein the first groove 221 and the second groove 222 on one of the clamping arms 21 respectively engage with the second protrusion 122 and the third protrusion 123; by providing the first protrusion 121, it serves as an additional support point. This helps the clamp 2 fit more tightly onto the conductive rod 1, further refining the fit between the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 and the snap-fit ​​groove 22, enhancing the snap-fit ​​force between the second protrusion 122 and the third protrusion 123 and the snap-fit ​​groove 22, so that the clamp arm 21 can more accurately align with the second protrusion 122 and the third protrusion 123 on the conductive rod 1 during snap-fit, thereby improving the snap-fit ​​accuracy and stability, ensuring the stability of the connection between the conductive rod 1 and the clamp 2, reducing movement caused by vibration or external force during processing, and ensuring the stability and conductivity of the conductive rod 1 during the anodizing process.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the distance between the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 122 is equal to the distance between the second protrusion 122 and the third protrusion 123. This ensures a uniform distribution of the clamping force generated by the clamp 2 on the conductive rod 1, helping to prevent the clamp 2 from tilting or shifting during clamping, ensuring the stability and accuracy of clamping. The uniform spacing also helps the clamp 2 to be positioned and locked onto the conductive rod 1 more quickly, reducing adjustment time during clamping and improving work efficiency.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the two clamping arms 21 have the same structure and are symmetrical to each other, so that the clamp 2 can maintain balance during the clamping process. Each clamping arm 21 includes a clamping part 211, a protrusion 212 and a hinge part 213. The clamping part 211 is fixedly connected to the hinge part 213. The protrusion 212 is disposed on one side of the hinge part 213. The hinge parts 213 of the two clamping arms 21 are hinged through the hinge structure 23. The clamping part 211 is used to cooperate with the conductive rod 1 to stably clamp the profile 3. The protrusion 212 provides a certain support for the conductive rod 1. The hinge part 213 is used to hinge the two clamping arms 21.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the hinge structure 23 includes a spring and a pin. The spring is disposed within the two hinge portions 213 to provide elastic restoring force. The pin passes through the two hinge portions 213 and the spring in sequence, thereby hinged together, allowing the two clamping arms 21 to rotate relative to each other. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the stiffness and size of the spring are selected according to application requirements to ensure that the hinge structure 23 has appropriate rotational capacity and restoring force.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: each hinge portion 213 has a locking groove 2131 on the side away from the protrusion 212, the two locking grooves 2131 are interconnected, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to one of the locking grooves 2131, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the other locking groove 2131. This ensures the stable position of the spring in the hinge structure 23, prevents the spring from shifting or falling off during rotation or under force, thereby maintaining the overall stability of the hinge structure 23.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: Each locking groove 2131 is provided with a receiving groove 2132 at one end near the clamping part 211, and the two receiving grooves 2132 are recessed towards the protrusion 212. This creates a protrusion between the receiving groove 2132 and the locking groove 2131. Generally, the end of the spring is provided with a bent extension end for clamping and fixing, forming an elastic clamping force. The bent extension end of the spring is located in the receiving groove 2132, enabling the entire spring to fully abut against the clamping arm 21, allowing the spring to be evenly stressed. The protrusion further fixes the position of the spring, preventing deformation and displacement, and ensuring the overall clamping force.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: both clamping arms 21 are provided with drainage holes 214. In this embodiment, the drainage holes 214 are provided on the hinge portion 213 to facilitate drainage, quickly remove moisture from the hinge portion 213 and its surrounding area, prevent moisture accumulation and retention, help reduce the risk of corrosion, rust and mold growth, thereby extending the service life of the clamping arms 21.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: both clamping arms 21 are provided with slag discharge grooves 215. In this embodiment, the slag discharge grooves 215 are provided on the protrusions 212. When the aluminum material is rinsed, the dirt will be discharged from the slag discharge grooves 215, ensuring that the dirt will not accumulate on the anodizing clamp, thereby extending the service life of the anodizing clamp. At the same time, no wastewater will splash during rinsing, and the wastewater can be discharged from the slag discharge port along with the dirt.

[0038] This embodiment also provides a profile production line, including the clamping structure described above, a conveying device for conveying the profile, and a loading device for flipping the profile 3 located on the conveying device and mounting it on the clamping structure. When the conveying device is activated, it smoothly conveys the profile 3 from one end of the production line to the loading device. The loading device then activates, using a robotic arm, cylinder, or other automated mechanism to flip the profile 3 and mount it onto the clamping structure. During this process, the clamping structure firmly holds the profile 3, ensuring its stability and accuracy. With the clamping structure in place, the profile 3 can undergo various processing operations.

[0039] The clamping structure of this embodiment is reasonably designed and easy to use. This structure can also be used for other devices with similar usage requirements. In this embodiment, the clamping structure improves clamping stability and conductivity through the precise matching design between the snap-fit ​​protrusion 12 and the snap-fit ​​groove 22, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of the oxidation process.
