Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-station flattening device for aluminum processing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are not convenient for continuous input of aluminum blocks for flattening in a circular rotation, are not conducive to lifting and removing aluminum blocks, and affect the continuity of aluminum block flattening operation and the flexibility of aluminum block output.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-station flattening device for aluminum processing, comprising a base and a support frame. The support frame is installed at the top of the base. A rotating disk is movably arranged at the top of the base on one side of the support frame. Support legs are installed at the top of the base on both sides of the rotating disk. An integrated frame is installed at the top of each support leg.

[0011] Preferably, a rack is installed at the end of the discharge chute away from the first electric push rod, a threaded rod is movably installed at the top of the L-shaped frame, and a gear is installed on the surface of the threaded rod on one side of the rack, and the gear meshes with the rack.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the threaded rod is fitted with a lifting tube, and the lifting tube is slidably connected to the L-shaped frame.

[0013] Preferably, each of the lifting pipes is equipped with a threaded sleeve inside, and the threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the threaded rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the aluminum flattening equipment not only realizes the convenient continuous input of aluminum blocks for flattening by circumferential rotation, and facilitates the lifting and removal of aluminum blocks, but also improves the continuity of aluminum block flattening operation and the flexibility of aluminum block output.

[0015] The process begins by conveying an aluminum block to the left-side electric gripper via a conveyor belt. A second cylinder drives the gripper downwards to hold and secure the block. The second cylinder is then reversed, lifting the block upwards while simultaneously activating the first cylinder. The first cylinder then moves the second cylinder, the electric gripper, and the block above the pressure box. This process is repeated to place the block inside the pressure box. A drive motor rotates a worm gear, which in turn rotates a rotating shaft via a worm wheel. This shaft then rotates a rotating disc and the pressure box, moving the pressure box below the pressure head. A hydraulic cylinder is then activated, causing the pressure head to move downwards via a first push arm and flatten the block. During the rotation of the rotating disc, aluminum blocks can be added sequentially to the conveyor belt via the second cylinder and electric gripper, enabling continuous flattening. This system allows for convenient, continuous, circumferential input of aluminum blocks for flattening, improving the continuity of the flattening process.

[0016] After the flattening process is completed, the rotary table continues to rotate. When it rotates to the position of the electric gripper on the right, the first electric push rod drives the rack to move through the discharge groove. The rack drives the threaded rod to rotate on the surface of the L-shaped frame through the gear. The threaded rod drives the lifting tube to move upward through the threaded sleeve. The lifting tube lifts the flattened aluminum block to the outside of the pressing box. Then, the electric gripper on the right can be operated to remove it. This facilitates the lifting and removal of the aluminum block and improves the flexibility of aluminum block output. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a multi-station flattening device for aluminum processing, comprising a base 1 and a support frame 5. The support frame 5 is installed at the top of the base 1. A rotating disk 2 is movably arranged at the top of the base 1 on one side of the support frame 5. Support legs 7 are installed at the top of the base 1 on both sides of the rotating disk 2. An integrated frame 6 is installed at the top of the support legs 7. A first cylinder 8 is installed on the side wall of the integrated frame 6. The first cylinder 8 serves as a power drive. A second cylinder 9 is slidably installed on one side of the integrated frame 6. The second cylinder 9 serves as a power drive and is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 8. An electric gripper 10 is installed at the bottom of the second cylinder 9. Multiple sets of pressing boxes 3 with equal spacing are installed at the top of the rotating disk 2. A hydraulic cylinder 17 is installed inside the support frame 5. A first push arm 16 is installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 17. A pressing head 15 is installed at the bottom end of the first push arm 16. A conveyor belt 4 is installed on the side wall of the base 1.

[0025] First, the aluminum block is conveyed to the position of the electric gripper 10 on the left side via the conveyor belt 4. Then, the second cylinder 9 on the left side is activated, causing the electric gripper 10 to move downwards and clamp the aluminum block in place. Next, the second cylinder 9 is operated in reverse, causing the aluminum block to rise while simultaneously activating the first cylinder 8. The first cylinder 8 then moves the second cylinder 9, the electric gripper 10, and the aluminum block above the pressure box 3. The operation of the second cylinder 9 is repeated to place the aluminum block inside the pressure box 3. Finally, the drive motor 13 is activated, causing the worm gear 12 to rotate. The worm gear 11 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 2 and the pressing box 3 to rotate, thus moving the pressing box 3 below the pressing head 15. The hydraulic cylinder 17 is then opened, and the hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the pressing head 15 downward through the first push arm 16, and the pressing head 15 flattens the aluminum block. During the rotation of the rotating disk 2, the second cylinder 9 on the left and the electric gripper 10 can be operated to sequentially add aluminum block material into the conveyor belt 4 to carry out continuous flattening operations. This achieves convenient continuous input of aluminum blocks for flattening through circumferential rotation, and improves the continuity of the aluminum block flattening operation.

[0026] The base 1 has a drive motor 13 installed inside, which serves as a power drive. The output end of the drive motor 13 is equipped with a worm gear 12, which is movably connected to the base 1.

[0027] A rotating shaft 14 is movably installed inside the base 1 on one side of the worm 12, and the rotating shaft 14 is connected to the rotating disk 2. A worm wheel 11 is fitted on the surface of the rotating shaft 14, and the worm wheel 11 meshes with the worm 12.

[0028] The inside of the pressure box 3 is equipped with three sets of L-shaped frames 23 with equal spacing. The outer wall of the pressure box 3 is equipped with a first electric push rod 18, which serves as a power drive. The output end of the first electric push rod 18 is equipped with a discharge groove 19.

[0029] A rack 20 is installed at the end of the discharge chute 19 away from the first electric push rod 18. A threaded rod 25 is movably installed at the top of the L-shaped frame 23. A gear 21 is installed on the surface of the threaded rod 25 on one side of the rack 20, and the gear 21 meshes with the rack 20. A lifting tube 22 is fitted on the surface of the threaded rod 25, and the lifting tube 22 is slidably connected to the L-shaped frame 23.

[0030] The inside of each lifting pipe 22 is equipped with a threaded sleeve 24, and the threaded sleeve 24 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 25.

[0031] After the flattening operation is completed, the rotary disk 2 continues to rotate. When it rotates to the position of the electric gripper 10 on the right, the first electric push rod 18 is opened. The first electric push rod 18 drives the rack 20 to move through the discharge groove 19. The rack 20 drives the threaded rod 25 to rotate on the surface of the L-shaped frame 23 through the gear 21. With the threaded connection between the threaded rod 25 and the threaded sleeve 24, and the sliding cooperation between the lifting tube 22 and the L-shaped frame 23, the threaded rod 25 drives the lifting tube 22 to move upward through the threaded sleeve 24. The lifting tube 22 lifts the flattened aluminum block to the outside of the pressing box 3. Then, the electric gripper 10 on the right can be operated to remove it. This facilitates the lifting and removal of the aluminum block and improves the flexibility of aluminum block output.

[0032] Working principle: First, the aluminum block is conveyed to the position of the electric gripper 10 on the left side via the conveyor belt 4. The second cylinder 9 drives the electric gripper 10 to move downward and clamp and fix the aluminum block. Then, the second cylinder 9 is operated in reverse, which drives the aluminum block upward and simultaneously opens the first cylinder 8. The first cylinder 8 drives the second cylinder 9, the electric gripper 10, and the aluminum block to move above the pressure box 3. Then, the operation of the second cylinder 9 is repeated to place the aluminum block inside the pressure box 3. The drive motor 13 drives the worm gear 12 to rotate, and the worm gear 12 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate via the worm wheel 11. The rotating shaft 14 drives the rotating disk 2 and the pressure box 3 to rotate, moving the pressure box 3 below the pressure head 15. The hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the pressure head 15 to move downward via the first push arm 16, and the pressure head 15 flattens the aluminum block. During the rotation of disc 2, aluminum blocks can be sequentially added to the conveyor belt 4 by operating the second cylinder 9 on the left and the electric gripper 10 to perform continuous flattening operations. After the flattening operation is completed, disc 2 continues to rotate. When it rotates to the position of the electric gripper 10 on the right, the first electric push rod 18 drives the rack 20 to move through the discharge groove 19. The rack 20 drives the threaded rod 25 to rotate on the surface of the L-shaped frame 23 through the gear 21. With the threaded connection between the threaded rod 25 and the threaded sleeve 24, and the sliding cooperation between the lifting tube 22 and the L-shaped frame 23, the threaded rod 25 drives the lifting tube 22 to move upward through the threaded sleeve 24. The lifting tube 22 lifts the flattened aluminum blocks to the outside of the pressing box 3. Then, the electric gripper 10 on the right can be operated to remove them. The above is the complete usage of the multi-station flattening equipment for aluminum processing.
