Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aluminum product conveying technology, and specifically relates to a stable conveying device for aluminum product production. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of aluminum products in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, and architectural decoration, the production process places increasingly higher demands on the stability and precision of conveying devices. Aluminum products undergo multiple processes during processing, including casting, rolling, cutting, and surface treatment, and material transfer between these processes must be accomplished through conveying devices.

[0003] However, for large aluminum products such as aluminum alloy profiles for construction and aerospace structural components, which can reach 6-12 meters in length, the cumulative offset error increases with the increase of the conveying length due to the influence of the entry angle, which is not conducive to the conveying of large workpieces. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the problems of existing technologies by providing a stable conveying device for aluminum product manufacturing. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A smooth conveying device for aluminum product manufacturing includes:

[0006] Conveying components;

[0007] The system includes multiple sets of guide components spaced apart along the laying direction of the conveying assembly. Each guide component includes a U-shaped frame, a bidirectional lead screw, two sliders, and two guide rollers. The U-shaped frame is mounted on the conveying assembly. The bidirectional lead screw is rotatably disposed between the two side plates of the U-shaped frame. The two sliders are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bidirectional lead screw. The two guide rollers are rotatably disposed at the bottom of the two guide rollers.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the conveying assembly includes two side plates arranged side by side and a number of conveying rollers laid at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the side plates. The guide rollers and conveying rollers are laid alternately on the travel path of the workpiece.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the slider is connected to the guide roller through a connecting block and an energy-absorbing component. The slider has a slide rail parallel to the bidirectional lead screw. The connecting block is slidably arranged in the slide rail. Both sides of the connecting block are connected to the slider through the energy-absorbing component. The energy-absorbing component includes a second spring and a second damper.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the guide roller includes a roller core, a buffer pad coaxially wrapped around the roller core, and multiple sets of convex ribs spaced apart along the axial direction of the buffer pad.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a guide hole is provided at the bottom of the connecting block, a guide post is slidably connected in the guide hole, the bottom of the guide post is rotatably connected to the roller core, and a spring and a damper are connected between the top of the guide post and the guide hole.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] (1) In this application, by setting the guide component, the workpiece in the conveying process can be clamped by two guide rollers coming together to ensure the centering of the workpiece. At the same time, the guide rollers can be rotated to allow them to roll as the workpiece moves, reducing the friction between them and realizing real-time dynamic centering during the workpiece conveying process. This effectively offsets the conveying direction offset and ensures that the aluminum products maintain positional accuracy during high-speed transmission.

[0014] (2) In this application, by setting the connecting block and the energy absorption component, the guide roller is allowed to continue to move relative to the slider after contacting the workpiece, thereby allowing the workpiece to undergo lateral vibration that is inevitable during the transmission process. At the same time, the energy absorption component is set to resist and absorb the lateral vibration generated by the guide roller and the workpiece, which is beneficial to the stability of the workpiece transmission.

[0015] (3) In this application, by setting the guide hole, guide post, spring and damper, the guide roller is allowed to move in the axial direction, and the spring and damper set in the axial direction are used to counteract the jumping of the workpiece in the vertical direction. Combined with the above-mentioned lateral vibration suppression, multi-dimensional workpiece restriction can be achieved, further ensuring the stable transmission of the workpiece.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0025] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a smooth conveyor device for aluminum product manufacturing is shown. Figure 1 The smooth conveying device for aluminum product production includes a conveying assembly 100 and multiple sets of guide assemblies 200 spaced apart along the laying direction of the conveying assembly 100. The conveying assembly 100 includes two side plates 110 arranged side by side and several conveying rollers 120 laid at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the side plates 110. The conveying rollers 120 are rotatably connected between the two side plates 110 to realize the transmission of the workpiece. The guide assemblies 200 are arranged in the gap between two adjacent conveying rollers 120. In this way, interference between the conveying rollers 120 and the guide assemblies 200 is avoided, and a guiding structure in which the conveying rollers 120 and the guide assemblies 200 are alternately arranged along the travel path can be formed.

[0026] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the U-shaped frame 210 and the guide roller 240 is shown; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the bidirectional lead screw 220 and the slider 230 is shown; Figure 2 and Figure 3In the guide assembly 200, a U-shaped frame 210, a bidirectional lead screw 220, two sliders 230, and two guide rollers 240 are included. The U-shaped frame 210 is mounted on the conveying assembly 100. The bidirectional lead screw 220 is rotatably disposed between the two side plates of the U-shaped frame 210. The two sliders 230 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 220. The two guide rollers 240 are rotatably disposed at the bottom of the two guide rollers 240 respectively. The bidirectional lead screw 220 is driven to rotate, while the two sliders 230 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bidirectional lead screw 220. On the symmetrical thread, the two sliders 230 move closer together, thereby causing the two guide rollers 240 to move closer together to clamp the workpiece during transport, ensuring the workpiece is centered. At the same time, the guide rollers 240 are rotatably set to allow them to roll as the workpiece moves, reducing the friction between them and achieving real-time dynamic centering during the workpiece transport process. This effectively counteracts the offset in the transport direction, ensuring that the aluminum products maintain positional accuracy during high-speed transport. Furthermore, the symmetrical thread driving the two guide rollers 240 to move synchronously can adapt to workpieces of different widths.

[0027] It should be noted that the output power of the bidirectional lead screw 220 can be driven by a motor, that is, the bidirectional lead screw 220 and the output end of the motor are connected in a transmission connection.

[0028] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the connecting block 250 and the energy absorption assembly 260 is shown; Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the energy absorption component 260 is shown; Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this configuration, the slider 230 is connected to the guide roller 240 via the connecting block 250 and the energy-absorbing component 260. The slider 230 has a slide 231 with a parallel bidirectional lead screw 220. The connecting block 250 is slidably arranged in the slide 231. Both sides of the connecting block 250 are connected to the slider 230 via the energy-absorbing component 260. The energy-absorbing component 260 includes a second spring 261 and a second damper 262. In other words, by using the connecting block 250 and the slide 231, the guide roller 240 is allowed to continue to move relative to the slider 230 after contacting the workpiece, thereby allowing the lateral vibration that inevitably occurs during the transmission of the workpiece. At the same time, the energy-absorbing component 260 is set to resist and absorb the lateral vibration generated by the guide roller 240 and the workpiece, which is beneficial to the stability of the workpiece transmission.

[0029] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of the guide roller 240 and the connecting block 250 is shown; Figure 6In this structure, the guide roller 240 includes a roller core 241, a buffer pad 242 coaxially wrapped around the roller core 241, and multiple sets of protruding ribs 243 spaced apart along the axial direction of the buffer pad 242. The buffer pad 242 is made of foam material, which can deform to absorb the vibration of the workpiece and increase the friction between the guide roller 240 and the workpiece. At the same time, the axial distribution of the protruding ribs 243 can resist the jumping of the workpiece in the vertical plane to a certain extent. The bottom of the connecting block 250 is provided with a guide hole 251, and a guide post 252 is slidably connected in the guide hole 251. The bottom of the guide post 252 is rotatably connected to the roller core 241. A spring 253 and a damper 254 are connected between the top of the guide post 252 and the guide hole 251. Through this structure, the guide roller 240 can move in the axial direction, and the spring 253 and the damper 254 set in the axial direction can be used to counteract the jumping of the workpiece in the vertical direction, thereby increasing the stability of workpiece transmission.

[0030] It should be noted that the damper 254 and damper 262 in this application can be either pneumatic or liquid damping, without any specific limitation.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
