Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum profile processing, specifically to a reciprocating brushed chain feeding structure for aluminum profiles. Background Technology

[0002] When aluminum profiles are used as decorative materials, a brush-scraping surface treatment can create regular longitudinal patterns, resulting in a unique luster and texture, known in the industry as brush-textured surface treatment. Traditional brush-texturing equipment has rotating brush wheels at several directions and angles inside its cavity. The profile is fed into the equipment cavity by an active conveyor wheel. As the profile passes through the rotating brush wheels, its surface is scraped, resulting in neat brush-textured patterns on the profile surface at the equipment exit.

[0003] Most existing brushing equipment is suitable for longer profiles. These profiles are supported by multiple passive support rollers and conveyed by multiple active conveyor rollers, resulting in a constant travel speed, stable support, and a relatively uniform and aesthetically pleasing brushed surface. However, for shorter profiles, the number of active and passive support rollers in contact with the profile during conveying is limited. This can lead to instability under the pressure of the brush rollers, affecting the uniformity of the brushed surface or even causing the profile to fall into the equipment cavity, resulting in equipment damage and material waste. Therefore, for shorter profiles, manual brushing with handheld brush rollers is often necessary. However, manual brushing is inefficient, produces uneven brushing quality, and easily results in waste. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides a reciprocating brushed chain feeding structure for aluminum profiles, which is suitable for brushed surface treatment of short and small profiles. The workpiece is fixed on a tooling that can move in a straight line for feeding, and the rotating brush wheel brushes the surface that needs to be brushed. The equipment has a high degree of automation, runs smoothly, and is easy to operate and maintain.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A reciprocating brushed chain feeding structure for aluminum profiles includes two sprockets mounted at each end of the frame, connected by a chain. Chain plates are installed between the segments of the two chains, with sliding plates fixedly mounted on the chain plates. Tooling is mounted on the sliding plates, and workpieces are fixed on the tooling. The sprockets are driven by a feeding motor mounted on the side of the frame, and a brushed wheel mechanism is set along the reciprocating path of the tooling, which is mounted on the frame.

[0007] After the short profile is fixed by tooling, the sliding plate is fed at a constant speed in a straight line under the drive of the chain. The rotating brush wheel on the surface of the profile achieves the effect of automated and stable brushing of the short profile. The motor drives the sprocket to rotate, and the sprocket meshes with the chain, driving the chain to move longitudinally, thereby realizing the sliding of the sliding plate.

[0008] When the tooling reaches the end of the equipment, the conveyor motor reverses, returning the sliding plate to the original loading and unloading position. Therefore, one operator can complete the entire loading and unloading operation of the profile by standing at the loading and unloading position. The rotational linear velocity of the brushing wheel is in the same direction as the tooling's forward direction, meaning that the brushing effect on the aluminum profile is mainly formed during the return stroke.

[0009] A tensioning bolt is installed on the sprocket at one end of the frame. The bearing of the sprocket is tightened by the tensioning bolt. When the chain is not taut, tightening the tensioning bolt will tension the chain and keep the tooling moving in a straight line.

[0010] Advantages of this utility model:

[0011] 1. This utility model is specifically designed for brushing equipment for short aluminum profiles. The workpiece is fixed on a tooling that can move in a straight line and fed in. The rotating brush wheel brushes the surface that needs to be brushed. The workpiece moves back and forth automatically to complete the brushing. The equipment has a high degree of automation and runs smoothly.

[0012] 2. This utility model only requires one operator at the loading and unloading station to complete all the work, requiring less manpower.

[0013] 3. The overall structure of this utility model is compact and occupies a small area. Attached Figure Description
