Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum ingot production technology, specifically to a positioning and processing equipment for metal aluminum ingots. Background Technology

[0002] As a fundamental and widely used raw material, the quality and precision of subsequent processing of aluminum ingots largely depend on the initial positioning stage. With the ever-increasing precision requirements of modern industry for aluminum products, such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, and electronic equipment, the need for precise positioning of aluminum ingots before processing is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0003] Traditional aluminum ingot positioning methods are mostly crude, commonly using simple fixing fixtures. These fixtures often only provide contact constraint on a single plane and cannot accommodate the irregular shape of aluminum ingots caused by factors such as the casting process. Because the surface of aluminum ingots may be uneven and the edges irregular during the forming process, fixing fixtures cannot ensure the stability of the ingots during processing, easily leading to displacement and wobbling. This results in problems such as dimensional deviations and substandard surface roughness, seriously affecting the quality and performance of the final aluminum products and failing to meet the requirements of high-precision product manufacturing. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model discloses a metal aluminum ingot positioning and processing equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a metal aluminum ingot positioning and processing equipment, comprising:

[0006] A pair of push rods, the outer ends of which are connected to a linear drive mechanism for linear movement under the drive of the linear drive mechanism;

[0007] A clamping plate is provided at the inner end of the top rod. Multiple protrusions are provided on the inner side of the clamping plate from top to bottom. One end of each protrusion extends into the inner cavity of the clamping plate, and the other end can extend out or retract into the clamping plate.

[0008] It also includes a telescopic cylinder located below a pair of push rods, the top of which is rotatably mounted with a roller.

[0009] The telescopic cylinder is rotatably mounted on the lower side of the top rod via a bracket.

[0010] The outer end of the protrusion is provided with a guide surface that extends downwards at an angle. The guide surface is used to guide the aluminum ingot to slide smoothly into the predetermined clamping position when the aluminum ingot enters between the clamping plates, thereby improving the ease of operation of the positioning and processing equipment.

[0011] The outer end faces of the clamping plate and the convex strip are provided with multiple anti-slip protrusions.

[0012] In the device of this embodiment, the inner side of the clamping plate is provided with multiple retractable protrusions running from top to bottom. These protrusions can adaptively adjust to the actual irregular shape of the aluminum ingot. Even when the surface of the aluminum ingot is uneven or has irregular edges, the multiple protrusions can tightly conform to the ingot surface, ensuring precise positioning of the ingot from multiple points and effectively preventing displacement and shaking during processing. Compared to traditional fixing fixtures that rely solely on a single plane for constraint, this significantly improves positioning accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the aluminum ingot positioning and processing equipment in the embodiments of this application;

[0014] Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the aluminum ingot positioning and processing equipment in the embodiments of this application;

[0015] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the protruding strip in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0017] Example 1: As Figure 1-3 As shown, a metal aluminum ingot positioning and processing equipment includes:

[0018] A pair of push rods 1, the outer ends of which are connected to a linear drive mechanism 2 for linear movement under the drive of the linear drive mechanism 2; the outer ends of the push rods 1 are connected to the linear drive mechanism 2 via a coupling, and the linear drive mechanism 2 can be an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0019] The clamping plate 3 is located at the inner end of the top rod 1. Multiple protrusions 4 are provided on the inner side of the clamping plate 3 from top to bottom. One end of each protrusion 4 extends into the inner cavity of the clamping plate 3, and the other end can extend out or retract into the clamping plate 3.

[0020] One end of the protruding strip 4 extends into the inner cavity of the clamping plate 3 in a nested manner. A matching slide is provided inside the clamping plate 3, and a spring acting on the protruding strip 4 allows it to smoothly extend or retract along the slide. The telescopic protruding strip 4 can adaptively adjust its contact point according to the actual shape of the aluminum ingot. When encountering irregularly shaped aluminum ingots, the protruding strip 4 can flexibly change position to ensure that at least three protruding strips 4 are tightly fitted with the aluminum ingot. Furthermore, the clamping height can be adjusted; the protruding strip 4 located on the lower side of the aluminum ingot can protrude beyond the lower surface of the ingot to block it, providing some support and limiting effect, further improving clamping stability.

[0021] The outer end of the protrusion 4 is provided with a guide surface 8 that extends downwards. The guide surface 8 is used to guide the aluminum ingot to slide smoothly into the predetermined clamping position when the aluminum ingot enters the clamping plate 3, thereby improving the ease of operation of the positioning processing equipment.

[0022] To further enhance the clamping and fixing effect of the clamping plate 3 and the convex strip 4 on the aluminum ingot, multiple anti-slip protrusions 9 are evenly and densely distributed on the outer end faces of the clamping plate 3 and the convex strip 4. The anti-slip protrusions 9 are made of rubber, which not only has good flexibility, allowing it to adapt to the slight unevenness of the aluminum ingot surface, but also has a static friction coefficient with the aluminum ingot of over 0.8. When the equipment clamps the aluminum ingot for processing, such as during milling or drilling operations where large cutting forces are generated, the anti-slip protrusions 9 can firmly fix the aluminum ingot in the predetermined position due to their strong friction.

[0023] Example 2: As Figure 1-2 As shown, the aluminum ingot positioning and processing equipment also includes a telescopic cylinder 5 located below a pair of top rods 1. A roller 6 is rotatably mounted on the top of the telescopic cylinder 5. When the aluminum ingot is placed on the equipment for processing, the telescopic cylinder 5 can extend or retract in a timely manner according to the instructions of the control system, adjusting the height of the roller 6 so that it just contacts the bottom of the aluminum ingot, providing auxiliary support for the ingot, reducing the pressure of the ingot on the clamping plate 3 and the protrusion 4, and preventing positioning deviation caused by excessive weight of the ingot.

[0024] The telescopic cylinder 5 is rotatably mounted on the lower side of the push rod 1 via a bracket 7. The bracket 7, forged from high-strength alloy steel and machined, possesses sufficient rigidity to support the telescopic cylinder 5 and its rollers 6. The support position of the telescopic cylinder 5 can be adjusted more precisely by rotating the bracket 7.

[0025] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
