AI Technical Summary
When cutting aluminum profiles to a fixed length on a cold bed, the optical sensor has difficulty detecting irregularly shaped aluminum profiles, resulting in inaccurate light reflection and an inability to effectively avoid excessive impact force when the aluminum profile comes into contact with the baffle.
A swingable induction plate is installed at the front end of the baffle. The induction plate drives the piston rod of the swing cylinder to extend. After the CNC system detects this, it reduces the conveying speed of the aluminum profile to avoid excessive impact.
This effectively avoids excessive impact when the aluminum profile comes into contact with the baffle, thus protecting the integrity of the aluminum profile.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a fixed-length device for discharging aluminum profiles from a cooling bed, belonging to the technical field of aluminum profile cooling bed equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum profiles are aluminum materials with different cross-sectional shapes obtained by hot melting and extrusion of aluminum rods. The cooling bed in the auxiliary machine after the extrusion machine cools the extruded aluminum profiles. After cooling, they are cut into sections of finished products by fixed length sawing and then conveyed to the framing machine for stacking.
[0003] When aluminum profiles are cut to a fixed length on a cooling bed, a length-fixing device is needed to calibrate the cutting length. This is mainly achieved through a baffle on the length-fixing device, where the baffle's position is adjusted to ensure the correct length measurement. Specifically, after adjusting the baffle's position, the aluminum profile will be cut to the corresponding length upon contact with it. To prevent excessive impact from damaging the aluminum profile upon contact with the baffle, an optical sensor is typically installed at the front end of the baffle. When the optical sensor detects the aluminum profile, the CNC system reduces the profile's conveying speed to avoid excessive impact. However, for some irregularly shaped aluminum profiles, the light emitted by the optical sensor may not be properly reflected, causing the sensor to fail to detect the profile.
[0004] Therefore, the research objective of this utility model is to provide a fixed-length device for aluminum profile cooling bed unloading. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this utility model provides a fixed-length device for aluminum profile cold bed unloading. By setting a swingable induction plate at the front end of the baffle, when the aluminum profile lifts the induction plate, it will drive the piston rod of the swing cylinder to extend. After the CNC system detects the extension of the piston rod of the swing cylinder, it will reduce the conveying speed of the aluminum profile to avoid excessive impact force when the aluminum profile contacts the baffle and damages the aluminum profile.
[0006] To solve the problems of the existing technology, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A length-fixing device for unloading aluminum profiles from a cooling bed includes a frame with a movable length-fixing trolley on the frame. The front end of the length-fixing trolley is equipped with a liftable baffle bracket. A baffle is fixedly installed at the bottom of the baffle bracket, and a forward-extending induction plate bracket is fixedly installed in the middle. A swingable induction plate is installed on the inner side of the induction plate bracket, and a swing cylinder that drives the induction plate to reset is hinged to the top of the induction plate. The other end of the swing cylinder is located on the induction plate bracket.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the fixed-length trolley is provided with a gear driven by a motor, the gear meshing with a rack, the rack being fixed on the frame and arranged along its length.
[0009] Furthermore, the top of the baffle bracket is connected to a lifting cylinder that drives its lifting and lowering, and the other end of the lifting cylinder is located on the fixed-length trolley.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the sensing plate is provided with a hollow cylinder along its length, and a rotating shaft is provided inside the cylinder through a bearing. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the sensing plate support.
[0011] Furthermore, a hinge lug is fixedly provided in the middle of the cylinder, and the piston rod of the swing cylinder is hinged to the hinge lug.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting a swingable sensing plate at the front end of the baffle, when the aluminum profile lifts the sensing plate, it will drive the piston rod of the swing cylinder to extend. After the CNC system detects that the piston rod of the swing cylinder has extended, it will reduce the conveying speed of the aluminum profile, so as to avoid the aluminum profile being damaged by excessive impact force when it comes into contact with the baffle.

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1-4 Further analysis of this utility model is then conducted.
[0019] like Figure 1-4As shown, a fixed-length device for unloading aluminum profiles from a cooling bed includes a frame 1. A movable fixed-length trolley 2 is mounted on the frame 1. A liftable baffle bracket 3 is mounted at the front end of the fixed-length trolley 2. A baffle 4 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the baffle bracket 3, and a forward-extending induction plate bracket 5 is fixedly mounted in the middle. A swingable induction plate 6 is mounted on the inner side of the induction plate bracket 5. A swing cylinder 7 that drives the induction plate 6 to reset is hinged to the top of the induction plate 6. The other end of the swing cylinder 7 is mounted on the induction plate bracket 5.
[0020] In this embodiment, preferably, the top of the fixed-length carriage 2 is provided with a gear 8 driven by a motor. The gear 8 is meshed with a rack 9. The rack 9 is fixed on the frame 1 and arranged along its length direction. When the gear 8 rotates, it rolls along the rack 9 under the interaction force of the rack 9, driving the fixed-length carriage 2 to move along the length direction of the frame 1.
[0021] In this embodiment, preferably, the top of the baffle bracket 3 is connected to a lifting cylinder 10 that drives its lifting and lowering, and the other end of the lifting cylinder 10 is located on the fixed-length trolley 2.
[0022] In this embodiment, preferably, the top of the sensing plate 6 is provided with a hollow cylinder 11 along its length direction, and a rotating shaft 12 is provided inside the cylinder 11 through a bearing. The two ends of the rotating shaft 12 are rotatably connected to the sensing plate bracket 5.
[0023] In this embodiment, preferably, a hinge lug 13 is fixedly provided in the middle of the cylinder 11, and the piston rod of the swing cylinder 7 is hinged to the hinge lug 13.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to measure the length of aluminum profiles discharged from the cooling bed, the motor drives the gear 8 to roll on the rack 9, which in turn moves the length-fixing carriage 2 on the frame 1 to adjust the position of the baffle 4. Then, the lifting cylinder 10 drives the baffle bracket 3 to descend, which in turn lowers the baffle 4 and the sensing plate 6. When the aluminum profile contacts the sensing plate 6, it lifts the sensing plate 6 and causes the piston rod of the swing cylinder 7 to extend. After the CNC system detects the extension of the piston rod of the swing cylinder 7, it will reduce the conveying speed of the aluminum profile to avoid excessive impact force when the aluminum profile contacts the baffle 4 and damages the aluminum profile. After a set of aluminum profile length measurements is completed, the lifting cylinder 10 drives the baffle 4 and the sensing plate 6 to rise and reset, and the piston rod of the swing cylinder 7 retracts, causing the sensing plate 6 to swing and reset, in preparation for the next set of aluminum profile length measurements.
