[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The inclined aluminum bar feeding structure of the utility model makes the following embodiments:
[0034] The inclined aluminum bar feeding structure of the embodiment comprises: an inclined feeding conveying frame 100, a material moving and carrying mechanism 200, a rotating mechanism 300 and a material clamping mechanism 400.
[0035] The inclined feeding conveying frame 100 has a guide rail 110 extending along the X-axis direction. The material moving mechanism 200 comprises a material moving table 210 and a material moving driving member 220. The material moving table 210 is slidingly arranged along the guide rail 110. The material moving driving member 220 has a material moving driving end in driving connection with the material moving table 210 and moving the material moving table 210 along the guide rail 110 relative to the inclined feeding conveying frame 100.
[0036] The rotating mechanism 300 comprises a rotating disc 310 and a rotating driving member 320. The rotating disc 310 is rotationally arranged on the material moving table 210, and the rotating axis of the rotating disc 310 extends along the Z-axis direction. The rotating driving member 320 has a rotating driving end in driving connection with the rotating disc 310 and rotating the rotating disc 310 about its own rotating axis relative to the material moving table 210.
[0037] The material clamping mechanism 400 comprises a lifting frame body 410 and a lifting driving member 420. The lifting frame body 410 is connected with the rotating disc 310, and the lifting frame body 410 is provided with a clamping jaw for clamping the aluminum bar. The lifting driving member 420 has a lifting driving end in driving connection with the lifting frame body 410 and moving the lifting frame body 410 along the Z-axis direction relative to the rotating disc 310.
[0038] It should be noted that the above-mentioned mutually orthogonal X-axis direction, Y-axis direction and Z-axis direction are virtual features, which are set for the purpose of accurately describing the movement direction.
[0039] In actual use, the lifting driving member 420 can drive the lifting frame body 410 and the clamping jaw to move along the Z-axis direction, and cooperate with the clamping of the clamping jaw on the aluminum bar to move the aluminum bar on the material source. The material moving driving member 220 can drive the material moving table 210 to move along the guide rail 110, so that the material clamping mechanism 400 can move along the X-axis direction, thereby realizing the transportation of the aluminum bar. The material clamping mechanism 400 and the material moving table 210 are connected through the rotating disc 310, and the rotating disc 310 is driven by the rotating driving member 320 to rotate relative to the material moving table 210, so that the clamping jaw and the aluminum bar thereon can rotate about the Z-axis direction, thereby realizing the angle correction between the inclined feeding conveying frame 100 and the extruding machine, and ensuring that the aluminum bar can meet the extruding direction requirement when being fed into the extruding machine.
[0040] Referring to the drawings Figure 1 In the inclined aluminum bar feeding structure of the embodiment, the X-axis direction is the front-rear direction, the Y-axis direction is the left-right direction, and the Z-axis direction is the up-down direction.
[0041] The inclined feeding conveying frame 100 of the embodiment is in the shape of a portal frame, and the guide rails 110 are arranged at one end of the Z-axis direction of the inclined feeding conveying frame 100. The inclined feeding conveying frame 100 in the shape of a portal frame is erected by a plurality of supporting legs, and the guide rails 110 are arranged at the upper end of the inclined feeding conveying frame 100, so that the guide rails 110 can be erected in the air and form a certain distance with the ground, facilitating the transportation of the aluminum bars.
[0042] The guide rails 110 of the embodiment are arranged in pairs at the Y-axis direction of the two sides of the inclined feeding conveying frame 100, and the Y-axis direction of the two sides of the material moving table 210 is provided with the rollers 211 which are embedded in the guide rails 110 and can roll.
[0043] The material moving table 210 of the embodiment is in the shape of a cuboid, and the four peripheral edges of the material moving table 210 are spliced by angle steels or square tubes. The upper and lower sides of the material moving table 210 are provided with metal plates.
[0044] The material moving table 210 is connected with the two guide rails 110 through the rollers 211 which are rotatably arranged at the left and right sides of the material moving table 210. The rollers 211 can reduce the friction between the material moving table 210 and the guide rails 110, so that the relative movement between the material moving table 210 and the guide rails 110 is rolling friction, facilitating the driving by the material moving driving member 220. At the same time, the guide rails 110 guide the rollers 211, so as to limit the moving direction of the material moving table 210.
[0045] In the embodiment, the material moving driving member 220 includes a material moving driving unit 221, a material moving gear 222 and a material moving rack 223. The material moving rack 223 is fixedly arranged on the inclined feeding conveying frame 100. The material moving rack 223 extends along the front-rear direction, so that the material moving rack 223 is parallel to the guide rails 110. The material moving gear 222 is rotatably arranged on the material moving table 210, and the axis of the material moving gear 222 extends along the left-right direction. The material moving gear 222 is in meshing transmission with the material moving rack 223. The material moving driving unit 221 is used to drive the rotation of the material moving gear 222. When the material moving driving unit 221 drives the rotation of the material moving gear 222, the material moving table 210 can move along the guide rails 110 under the gear-rack transmission, so as to realize the moving of the aluminum bars in the X-axis direction.
[0046] Further, in order to make the force on the material moving table 210 uniform, the oblique type feeding conveying frame 100 is provided with the material moving rack 223 on both sides, the material moving table 210 is provided with two material moving gears 222, and the two material moving gears 222 are respectively in transmission engagement with the two material moving racks 223. The two material moving gears 222 are coaxially arranged, and a transmission shaft 224 is arranged between the two material moving gears 222, and the transmission shaft 224 is coaxially fixedly connected with the two material moving gears 222. The material moving driving unit 221 is a servo motor, and the output shaft of the material moving driving unit 221 is in transmission connection with the transmission shaft 224 through a speed reducer.
[0047] The rotating disc 310 of the embodiment is in the shape of a circular ring disc. The lifting frame body 410 is slidingly arranged along the rotation axis of the rotating disc 310, so that when the rotating disc 310 is rotated by the rotating driving member 320, the material clamping mechanism 400 can be synchronously rotated around the rotation axis of the rotating disc 310.
[0048] Further, the lifting frame body 410 has an up-down extending central axis, and the central axis is coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the rotating disc 310. The clamp is centrally arranged at the lower end of the lifting frame body 410. When the rotating disc 310 rotates the material clamping mechanism 400, the clamp can rotate around the central axis, so as to avoid the swing amplitude of the aluminum bar being too large.
[0049] The rotating driving member 320 of the embodiment comprises a rotating driving unit 321, a rotating gear 322 and a driving gear ring 323. The driving gear ring 323 is coaxially fixedly arranged on the rotating disc 310. The rotating gear 322 is rotationally arranged on the material moving table 210. The axes of the rotating gear 322 and the driving gear ring 323 both extend in the up-down direction. The rotating gear 322 and the driving gear ring 323 are flush with each other and in transmission engagement with each other. The rotating driving unit 321 is used to rotate the rotating gear 322. When the rotating driving unit 321 rotates the rotating gear 322, the rotating disc 310 rotates relative to the material moving table 210 under the transmission of the rotating gear 322 and the driving gear ring 323, so that the material clamping mechanism 400 rotates with the rotating disc 310, and the angle adjustment of the aluminum bar is realized.
[0050] In a further embodiment, the material moving table 210 is provided with a plurality of limiting columns 225, and the rotating disc 310 is provided with a limiting portion. When the rotating disc 310 rotates relative to the material moving table 210 by a certain angle, the limiting portion abuts against one of the limiting columns 225, so as to prevent the rotating disc 310 from continuing to rotate, and the rotation angle of the rotating disc 310 is limited.
[0051] The lifting frame body 410 of the embodiment comprises a column 411, a crossbeam 412, a clamping cylinder 413 and two clamping arms 414.
[0052] The crossbeam 412 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the column 411. The two clamping arms 414 are arranged at the two sides of the crossbeam 412 respectively, and the two clamping arms 414 are arranged oppositely. The middle parts of the two clamping arms 414 are hingedly connected with the crossbeam 412, and the upper ends of the two clamping arms 414 are provided with connecting rods. One end of the connecting rod is hingedly connected with the clamping arm 414 through tooth transmission, and the other end is hingedly connected with the piston rod end of the clamping cylinder 413 through transmission.
[0053] The column 411 is a hollow structure, and the column 411 of the embodiment is a square tube product. The clamping cylinder 413 is arranged downwardly and fixedly on the inner bottom of the column 411. The clamping cylinder 413 is arranged inside the column 411, so that when the lifting frame body 410 moves upwardly, the clamping cylinder 413 can avoid collision and interference with the rotating disc 310, thereby avoiding hindering the upward and downward movement of the lifting frame body 410. When the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 413 extends downwardly, the two connecting rods can simultaneously drive the lower ends of the two clamping arms 414 to swing inwardly to realize clamping. When the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 413 retracts upwardly, the connecting rods drive the upper ends of the two clamping arms 414 to approach each other, so that the lower ends of the two clamping arms 414 swing outwardly to realize opening.
[0054] In order to enable the lifting frame body 410 to rotate synchronously with the rotating disc 310 to realize angle correction of the aluminum bar, the cross section of the column 411 is non-circular. The column 411 of the embodiment is a square tube product, and the cross section of the column 411 is rectangular. The middle part of the rotating disc 310 is provided with a rectangular avoiding hole. The column 411 is arranged in the avoiding hole. The upper end of the rotating disc 310 is provided with a lifting drive seat. The column 411 is connected with the lifting drive seat through a straight line sliding rail extending upwardly and downwardly, so that the lifting frame body 410 can move upwardly and downwardly relative to the rotating disc 310.
[0055] In order to avoid falling of the lifting frame body 410 due to connection failure, the upper end of the column 411 is provided with an anti-falling limiting block. The anti-falling limiting block is arranged above the rotating disc 310, and the anti-falling limiting block can be arranged on the upper side of the avoiding hole, so as to avoid the column 411 from falling downwardly due to disengagement from the rotating disc 310.
[0056] The lifting driving member 420 of the embodiment comprises a lifting driving unit 421, a lifting gear 422 and a lifting rack 423. The lifting rack 423 extends in the up-down direction and is fixedly arranged on one side of the lifting driving seat of the stand 411. The lifting gear 422 is rotatably arranged on the lifting driving seat and is engaged with the lifting rack 423. The lifting driving unit 421 is used to drive the lifting gear 422 to rotate.
[0057] In consideration of facilitating the control of the speed and accuracy of the delivery, the rotating driving unit 321 and the lifting driving unit 421 of the embodiment are both servo motors. In some other embodiments, the rotating driving unit 321 and the lifting driving unit 421 can be rotating driving elements such as step motors or pneumatic motors.
