Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum tube polishing technology, specifically to an aluminum tube polishing device. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum tubes are usually only polished on the outer surface because the exterior serves aesthetic and functional requirements, while the inner wall usually does not affect the use. Polishing the outer surface can improve the appearance gloss, remove surface defects, facilitate subsequent anodizing, electroplating and other treatments, and at the same time enhance corrosion resistance and fitting precision.

[0003] Currently, many aluminum tubes are polished using magnetic polishing machines. The magnetic polishing process is gentle and produces almost no high temperatures that could cause deformation, making it particularly suitable for aluminum materials.

[0004] In this polishing method, the common operation is to directly place the aluminum tube into the polishing tank of the magnetic polishing machine. When the polishing is finished and the aluminum tube is taken out, the high-speed rotating grinding needles are prone to leaving residue in the thin tube after they stop. Personnel are required to spend time and effort to clean the inside of the tube after it is taken out, which is not efficient.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs an aluminum tube polishing device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum tube polishing device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an aluminum tube polishing device, comprising: a magnetic field generator; the working surface of the magnetic field generator is provided with a polishing groove, and the top of the magnetic field generator is provided with a symmetrical clamping mechanism;

[0008] The clamping mechanism includes a mounting base fixed to the top of the magnetic field generator, a support plate fixed to one end of the mounting base, an arm slidably disposed at one end of the support plate, a docking plate detachably connected to one end of the arm, a plurality of threaded rods inserted into the outer wall of the docking plate, a nut locked to one end of the threaded rod, and a rubber plug fixed to one end of the threaded rod.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping mechanism further includes an electric cylinder fixed to one end of the support plate, with one end of the electric cylinder's telescopic shaft inserted into the bottom of the arm.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping mechanism further includes two auxiliary plates fixed to one end of the arm, the two auxiliary plates being symmetrical to each other and a handle being fixed to the outer wall of one of the auxiliary plates.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the support plate has a sliding opening, one end of the arm is slidably disposed in the sliding opening of the support plate, and the two auxiliary plates are respectively attached to both sides of the support plate along the sliding opening of the support plate.

[0012] Preferably, a collar is fixed to the outer wall of the docking plate, and the collar and the arm are interlocked and locked with bolts.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] Firstly, in the clamping mechanism, a rubber plug slightly larger than the inner diameter of the aluminum tube is placed on the mating plate. After being inserted into the aluminum tube, it can play a good sealing role, preventing the grinding needle from entering the interior of the aluminum tube during the polishing process, thereby preventing the grinding needle from being stuck and causing an impact.

[0015] Secondly, the design of detachable docking plates and replaceable rubber plugs can quickly adapt to polishing operations of aluminum tubes of various thicknesses, enabling batch clamping and efficient positioning of multiple aluminum tubes, and significantly improving overall processing efficiency.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an aluminum tube polishing device, including: a magnetic field generator 1; the working surface of the magnetic field generator 1 is provided with a polishing groove 2, and the top of the magnetic field generator 1 is provided with a symmetrical clamping mechanism;

[0027] The clamping mechanism includes a mounting base 3 fixed to the top of the magnetic field generator 1, a support plate 4 fixed to one end of the mounting base 3, an arm 6 slidably disposed on one end of the support plate 4, a docking plate 9 detachably connected to one end of the arm 6, multiple threaded rods 11 inserted into the outer wall of the docking plate 9, a nut 13 locked to one end of the threaded rod 11, and a rubber plug 12 fixed to one end of the threaded rod 11.

[0028] A controllable magnetic field is applied to the polishing tank 2 on the working table of the magnetic field generator 1, thereby driving the grinding needles placed in the polishing tank 2 to move at high speed and perform multi-directional grinding and polishing on the surface of the aluminum tube placed therein. In the pair of symmetrical clamping mechanisms on the top of the magnetic field generator 1, aluminum tubes can be clamped in batches through the cooperation of the docking plate 9, the threaded rod 11 and the rubber plug 12. The rubber plug 12 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the aluminum tube. After insertion, it seals the aluminum tube, so that the grinding needles are not easily stuck in the aluminum tube. The nut 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 11 and locked to the docking plate 9. The threaded rod 11 with different sizes of rubber plug 12 can be disassembled and replaced to accommodate aluminum tubes of more thicknesses.

[0029] More preferably, the clamping mechanism also includes an electric cylinder 5 fixed to one end of the support plate 4, with one end of the telescopic shaft of the electric cylinder 5 inserted into the bottom of the arm 6;

[0030] The clamping mechanism controls the arm 6 to move up and down via the telescopic shaft of the electric cylinder 5, thereby driving the loaded aluminum tube into and out of the polishing tank 2. The telescopic shaft and the arm 6 are in a plug-in state that can be directly disassembled, making it convenient for the arm 6 to be removed from the support plate 4.

[0031] More preferably, the clamping mechanism also includes two auxiliary plates 7 fixed to one end of the arm 6, the two auxiliary plates 7 are symmetrical to each other, and a handle 8 is fixed to the outer wall of one of the auxiliary plates 7;

[0032] The boom 6 is installed on the support plate 4 through the cooperation of two auxiliary plates 7, and the handle 8 makes it convenient for personnel to lift and disassemble the boom 6.

[0033] More preferably, one end of the support plate 4 has a sliding opening, one end of the arm 6 is slidably disposed in the sliding opening of the support plate 4, and two auxiliary plates 7 are respectively attached to both sides of the support plate 4 along the sliding opening of the support plate 4.

[0034] The support plate 4 is used to mount the boom 6 through the sliding opening. When mounting the boom 6, two auxiliary plates 7 are used for positioning, so that the boom 6 can be easily connected to the telescopic shaft of the electric cylinder 5 and is less likely to shift to the left or right.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment, a collar 10 is fixed to the outer wall of the docking plate 9, and the collar 10 and the arm 6 are interlocked and locked with bolts;

[0036] The bolt passes through the collar 10 and is threaded to the mating plate 9. Rotating the bolt can separate the arm 6 from the mating plate 9 for disassembly and maintenance.

[0037] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: the magnetic field generator 1 works in conjunction with the polishing tank 2 through its worktable. After the grinding needle is placed in the polishing tank 2, auxiliary liquid is added before use. A batch of aluminum tubes can be pre-installed between two clamping mechanisms. After pre-installation, the arm 6 is placed in the sliding mouth of the support plate 4 of the two clamping mechanisms and connected to the telescopic shaft of the electric cylinder 5. The electric cylinder 5 controls the lifting and lowering of the arm 6 and the pre-installed aluminum tubes to enter and exit the polishing tank 2 for polishing operations.

[0038] After polishing, the aluminum tube is lifted from the polishing tank 2 by the electric cylinder 5 to a certain height, so that the liquid remaining on the outer surface of the aluminum tube evaporates or drips off first, avoiding a large amount of liquid flowing outside the processing position and making the processing environment wet and dangerous. Then, it can be detached from the support plate 4 by the handle 8. The rubber plug 12 used on the pre-installed docking plate 9 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the aluminum tube, so that after the two ends of the aluminum tube are connected to the two rubber plugs 12, there is less gap for the grinding needle to pass through. After polishing, the grinding needle is less likely to be stuck in the aluminum tube. The rubber plug 12 can be replaced by the screw and nut 13 to accommodate aluminum tubes of more thicknesses for polishing.
