Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aviation titanium alloy processing monitoring technology, and in particular to a support for an aviation titanium alloy processing monitoring thermal imager. Background Technology

[0002] A thermal imager for monitoring aerospace titanium alloy machining is a non-contact monitoring device used to detect the temperature distribution in the cutting area of ​​a machine tool in real time. Its core structure typically includes an infrared optical lens, a thermal imaging sensor, an image processing module, a display screen, and a data output interface. During the machining of aerospace titanium alloys, this device captures infrared radiation from the workpiece, cutting tool, or machining area to generate a thermal distribution image. This helps operators identify abnormal temperature rises, predict tool wear, and prevent workpiece thermal deformation, thereby ensuring machining accuracy and equipment safety.

[0003] However, in practical applications, existing thermal imagers for process monitoring have significant structural adaptability issues, mainly in terms of insufficient placement stability and inconvenience of handheld operation.

[0004] 1. Placement stability defects:

[0005] Most of these devices rely solely on simple flat bases or universal tripod interfaces for placement. In machining environments with frequent machine tool vibrations and limited space, such structures are prone to causing blurred monitoring images due to equipment swaying, and it is difficult to flexibly adjust the observation angle. Some devices even lack dedicated support designs, requiring additional worktable space and interfering with normal machining operations.

[0006] 2. Lack of ergonomics in handheld operation:

[0007] When temporary mobile devices are needed for multi-point monitoring, existing thermal imagers often have a regular rectangular design, lacking ergonomic curved surfaces or anti-slip structures in the grip area. Prolonged handheld use can lead to operator fatigue, and the device's center of gravity is poorly distributed (e.g., the screen and lens are unbalanced), resulting in poor stability during single-handed operation, easy screen obstruction, or accidental button presses, thus affecting monitoring efficiency.

[0008] The aforementioned problems make it difficult to quickly and stably deploy or flexibly operate the equipment in the dynamic and complex environment of aerospace titanium alloy processing, which reduces the accuracy of monitoring data and increases the labor intensity of operators. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a thermal imager structural design that combines stable placement with comfortable grip to meet the special requirements of aerospace titanium alloy processing sites. Utility Model Content

[0009] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a support bracket for a thermal imager for monitoring the processing of aerospace titanium alloys, which aims to improve the problems of mismatch between general structure and special requirements of machine tool scenarios, low grip comfort, and reduced operating efficiency.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a support for an aerospace titanium alloy processing monitoring thermal imager, comprising an open annular cavity adapted to the thermal imager, a bracket and a support block below the cavity, a groove adapted to the handle of the thermal imager on the side of the cavity, support beams symmetrically arranged on both sides of the groove, and a handle arm detachably connected to the end of the support beam.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the support block is provided with an adjustable lifting mechanism.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment, the adjustable lifting mechanism is a lifting screw.

[0013] Preferably, a magnet is provided at the bottom of the support block.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This utility model features a support bracket for a thermal imager used in the processing of aerospace titanium alloys. The bracket has an open annular cavity at the top and bottom. When in use, the thermal imager is placed in the annular cavity, and the handle of the thermal imager can be placed in the slot. The bracket at the bottom of the cavity can support the thermal imager, and the support block ensures that the thermal imager does not directly contact the machine tool, thus protecting the thermal imager. The symmetrically arranged grips allow the operator to hold the thermal imager with both hands, making operation easier.

[0016] The height of the support block of the thermal imager bracket for monitoring aerospace titanium alloy processing is flexibly adjustable, which can flexibly adjust the contact state between the thermal imager bracket and the machine tool to ensure good contact; the iron is provided so that the thermal imager bracket can be attracted to the machine tool, improving the stability of the thermal imager for monitoring aerospace titanium alloy processing.
