Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum alloy tube processing technology, and more specifically, to an aluminum alloy cutting machine tool. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum alloy tubes are processed aluminum alloy products. Currently, plasma cutting machines are used in conjunction with horizontal moving components and automatically rotating chucks to transport and cut them to achieve equal-length cuts. During the cutting process, the long end of the aluminum alloy tube is rolled and supported to improve stability. However, the current method involves the aluminum alloy tubes falling directly to the ground after cutting without any cushioning, resulting in severe surface damage and an increased defect rate. Furthermore, each tube needs to be manually picked up and transferred to other areas for further processing. The material transfer process after aluminum alloy tube cutting needs improvement.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. 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 scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an aluminum alloy cutting machine tool includes a mounting frame 1 and a chain drive assembly (which is prior art, its principle is not described, and it is not shown in the figure). The mounting frame 1 is equipped with a plasma cutting mechanism, and a rolling support mechanism is provided on one side of the mounting frame 1. It also includes an elongated hole 2, a material feeding groove 3, a rotating shaft 4, a rubber sleeve 5, a drive box 6, and a conveyor belt 7.
[0029] The elongated hole 2 is formed on the mounting bracket 1;
[0030] The material discharge chute 3 is inclined and fixed inside the elongated hole 2 (specifically, the angle between the material discharge chute 3 and the horizontal plane is 35-40 degrees).
[0031] Several rotating shafts 4 are equidistantly and rotatably arranged on the material discharge chute 3;
[0032] Rubber sleeve 5 is fitted onto the outside of rotating shaft 4;
[0033] The drive box 6 is fixed on one side baffle of the feed chute 3 and the drive box 6 is equipped with a chain drive assembly connected to several rotating shafts 4.
[0034] A buffered conveyor belt 7 is positioned below the end of the chute 3.
[0035] To further reduce the wear and tear caused by aluminum alloy pipes falling onto the conveyor belt 7, preferably, the conveyor belt 7 is a felt conveyor belt 7.
[0036] It should be noted that the chain drive assembly is electrically connected to the controller, which is not shown in the figure.
[0037] The working process of this utility model:
[0038] After the plasma cutting mechanism completes the cutting of a fixed-length aluminum alloy tube, the aluminum alloy tube will fall onto the material drop trough 3. At this time, since the rubber sleeve 5 is in direct contact, the surface wear of the aluminum alloy tube can be avoided. Then, the controller controls the chain drive assembly to achieve synchronous and unidirectional rotation of several rotating shafts 4. The aluminum alloy tube can then be oriented and transported. At this time, the aluminum alloy tube and the rotating shaft 4 are roughly perpendicular. Then, the aluminum alloy tube will fall from the long hole 2 and finally fall onto the felt conveyor belt for automatic transport to the next area for subsequent processing.
[0039] Compared to existing technologies, this device can effectively and flexibly buffer the falling aluminum alloy tubes after plasma cutting, thus preventing them from falling directly to the ground and causing surface wear. Furthermore, after unloading, it can drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate and directionally transport the aluminum alloy tubes onto the conveyor belt 7, eliminating the need for manual picking up and transferring of the fallen tubes. In summary, the unloading and transfer process after aluminum alloy tube cutting is improved, resulting in better performance.
[0040] To avoid the disorderly accumulation and collision of several aluminum alloy tubes that fall onto the conveyor belt 7 in succession, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the conveyor belt 7 is a chain plate conveyor belt, and several rubber V-shaped blocks are fixed at equal intervals on the conveyor chain plate of the chain plate conveyor belt.
[0041] To prevent aluminum alloy tubes from detaching from the surface of the V-shaped platform 8 during unloading, a better design is implemented: a limiting plate 9 is fixed on the side of the V-shaped block away from the unloading chute 3, and a rubber layer 10 is provided on the limiting plate 9. When an aluminum alloy tube is unloaded and directionally conveyed, it can detach from the unloading chute 3 and accurately land on one of the V-shaped platforms 8. At this time, the limiting plate 9 can prevent the aluminum alloy tube from detaching from the V-shaped platform 8 from the front. With the help of the rubber layer 10, the limiting plate 9 and the end face of the aluminum alloy tube are prevented from making hard contact and causing wear. Subsequently, in the subsequent transfer process, the position of the aluminum alloy tube is limited and there will be no collision between adjacent tubes.
[0042] To facilitate the detection of whether the aluminum alloy tube has been completely unloaded and to automatically switch the V-block position for continued material receiving, further optimizations to the solution are needed, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a CCD camera is fixed on the conveyor belt 7, and the CCD camera is facing the material drop chute 3 and one of the V-shaped blocks. In this embodiment, the CCD camera is positioned facing the material drop chute 3 and one of the V-shaped platforms 8. After the camera captures and identifies that one of the aluminum alloy tubes has finished dropping onto the current V-shaped platform 8, it immediately sends a signal to the controller. The controller then controls the chain conveyor belt to move intermittently once so that the adjacent V-shaped platform 8 moves back to the position of the current V-shaped block and begins to store the aluminum alloy tubes after the next round of cutting. It should be noted that the device should be pre-adjusted before operation so that one of the V-shaped platforms 8 is facing the material drop chute 3.
[0043] In other embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, telescopic components 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material drop chute 3. The telescopic components 11 are connected to mounting rods 12 that are spaced apart from the rubber sleeves 5 (the length of the mounting rods 12 is the same as the length of the material drop chute 3). Several equidistant limiting wheels 13 are rotatably connected to the mounting rods 12. In this embodiment, before the aluminum alloy tube falls onto the rubber sleeves 5 and the chain drive assembly is not working, the telescopic components 11 can drive the limiting wheels 13 to move synchronously inward, thereby limiting the subsequent conveying area of the aluminum alloy tube. This further improves the accuracy of the aluminum alloy tube falling onto the V-shaped table 8, and the V-shaped table 8 has a better receiving effect.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
