Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum profile processing, specifically to a conveying device for aluminum profiles. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum is a very common designated material for extrusion and shaping because of its mechanical properties, which make it ideal for forming and shaping metals from billet segments. Aluminum’s high ductility means that the metal can be easily formed into a variety of cross sections without expending a lot of energy during processing or forming. Aluminum’s melting point is also typically about half that of ordinary steel. Aluminum also has a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it an excellent choice for industrial applications.

[0003] In existing aluminum profile extrusion production technology, when aluminum profiles are extruded from the extruder outlet, the high temperature results in insufficient profile hardness, necessitating air cooling. Conventional air cooling methods typically involve using multiple fans to directly cool the profile surface. However, this approach has the following drawbacks: when fans are used to cool the profile surface, the side facing the fans receives a significantly larger volume of cold air than the side facing away from the fans, leading to uneven cooling of the aluminum profile and affecting its overall hardness. Furthermore, after cooling, the aluminum profiles need to be conveyed to the next workstation for subsequent processing, resulting in low processing efficiency. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and provide a device for conveying aluminum profiles.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a conveying device for aluminum profiles, including a frame and a conveying mechanism installed inside the frame. The conveying mechanism includes multiple drive rollers installed inside the frame and a servo motor installed outside the frame for driving the multiple drive rollers to rotate. Multiple limiting mechanisms and cooling mechanisms are installed at equal intervals inside the frame.

[0006] The limiting mechanism includes a support column, the top surface of which has a groove, and two mounting seats are symmetrically slidably connected on the outside. The groove is provided with a driving component for driving the mounting seats to move. A positioning frame is installed on the top of the mounting seat, and two limiting rollers are installed on the inner side of the positioning frame.

[0007] The cooling mechanism includes a rectangular frame, on the inner wall of which two horizontal air ducts and two vertical air ducts are symmetrically installed, and multiple air nozzles are installed on the sides of both the horizontal and vertical air ducts.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple support rollers are installed inside the frame between every two drive rollers, and the support rollers have the same diameter as the drive rollers.

[0009] Furthermore, a synchronous pulley is installed at one end of the drive roller after passing through the side wall of the frame, and a synchronous belt is connected between two adjacent synchronous pulleys. The output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the roller shaft of one drive roller.

[0010] Furthermore, pads are detachably installed on the top of both ends of the frame, and the top surface of the pads is flush with the top of the drive roller.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism and the cooling mechanism are arranged alternately.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes two sliders symmetrically arranged inside the groove. The sliders are slidably connected to the groove, and their tops are fixed to the mounting base. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably installed inside the groove, passing through the slider. The bidirectional lead screw is threadedly connected to the slider, and a handwheel is installed at one end after passing through the side wall of the frame.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an aluminum profile conveying device includes a frame 1 and a conveying mechanism installed inside the frame 1. The conveying mechanism includes multiple drive rollers 2 installed inside the frame 1 and a servo motor 3 installed outside the frame 1 for driving the multiple drive rollers 2 to rotate. Inside the frame 1, multiple support rollers 11 are installed between every two drive rollers 2. The support rollers 11 have the same diameter as the drive rollers 2. The roller shaft at one end of the drive roller 2 passes through the side wall of the frame 1 and is fitted with a synchronous pulley 12. A synchronous belt 13 connects two adjacent synchronous pulleys 12. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 is connected to the roller shaft of one drive roller 2. Pads 14 are detachably installed on the top of both ends of the frame 1. The top surface of the pads 14 is flush with the top of the drive rollers 2.

[0022] Servo motor 3 drives one drive roller 2 to rotate. Under the action of synchronous pulley 12 and synchronous belt 13, multiple drive rollers 2 can be rotated, thereby realizing the conveying of aluminum profiles.

[0023] Multiple limiting mechanisms and cooling mechanisms are installed at equal intervals on the inner side of the frame 1, and the limiting mechanisms and cooling mechanisms are arranged alternately.

[0024] The limiting mechanism includes a support column 4, with a groove on the top surface of the support column 4. Two mounting seats 5 are symmetrically slidably connected to the outside. A drive assembly for moving the mounting seats 5 is provided inside the groove. A positioning frame 6 is installed on the top of the mounting seat 5, and two limiting rollers 7 are installed inside the positioning frame 6. The drive assembly includes two sliders 15 symmetrically arranged inside the groove. The sliders 15 are slidably connected to the groove, and their tops are fixed to the mounting seats 5. A bidirectional lead screw 16 is rotatably installed inside the groove, passing through the sliders 15. The bidirectional lead screw 16 is threadedly connected to the sliders 15, and a handwheel 17 is installed after one end passes through the side wall of the frame 1.

[0025] Rotating the bidirectional lead screw 16 via the handwheel 17 causes the two sliders 12 to move closer or further apart, thus adjusting the distance between the two positioning frames 6. This allows for the restriction of different types of aluminum profiles and prevents misalignment during the conveying process. The limiting roller 7 not only limits the movement of the aluminum profiles but also reduces friction between the roller and the aluminum profile.

[0026] The cooling mechanism includes a rectangular frame 8. Two horizontal air ducts 9 and two vertical air ducts 10 are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the rectangular frame 8. Multiple air nozzles are installed on the sides of both the horizontal air ducts 9 and the vertical air ducts 10. The horizontal air ducts 9 and the vertical air ducts 10 are staggered.

[0027] Connect the input end of the longitudinal air duct 10 of the horizontal air duct 9 to an external fan. When the aluminum profile passes through the inside of the rectangular frame 8, the nozzles on the horizontal air duct 9 and the longitudinal air duct 10 blow cold air onto the surface of the aluminum profile, which can achieve rapid cooling of the outer surface of the aluminum profile in all directions.

[0028] In practical use, this device is powered by an external power supply and controlled by an external PLC controller. The servo motor 3 drives the drive roller 2 to rotate, realizing the conveying of aluminum profiles. The limiting rollers 7 at the top of both ends of the support column 4 can limit the aluminum profiles and prevent them from deviating during the conveying process. When the aluminum profiles pass through the inside of the rectangular frame 8, the outer surface of the aluminum profiles can be cooled rapidly in all directions.

[0029] The parts not disclosed in this utility model are all existing technologies. The specific structure and working principle of the connection between the PLC controller, the servo motor 3 and the fan will not be described in detail.
