Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of prototyping machines, and more particularly to a dumbbell prototyping machine. Background Technology

[0002] Tensile testing can determine a series of strength and plasticity indicators of a material. Strength generally refers to the material's ability to resist elastic deformation, plastic deformation, and fracture under external force. Before being put into actual production, tunnel segment materials usually need to undergo tensile testing to check their performance and whether they are qualified. During the sampling process of tunnel segments, the segments need to be fixed on a fixture. The operator holds the fixture and aligns it with the cutting tool, which cuts the segments to shape them into dumbbells. The dumbbell-shaped segments are then placed in a testing machine for tensile and other mechanical tests.

[0003] The process of moving the machine tool using a hand-held fixture results in high labor intensity for the workers. To reduce this, a shaped guide rail is currently used to limit the tool's movement, and a drive mechanism moves the tool along the guide rail to machine the tube segment into a dumbbell shape. However, both the shaped guide rail and the fixture are only suitable for one specification. When different specifications of dumbbell-shaped strips need to be machined, the fixture and guide rail must be disassembled and replaced. Since the fixture and guide rail are bolted to the machining platform, the replacement process is cumbersome, reducing the machining efficiency of the dumbbell strips and increasing the labor intensity for the workers. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a dumbbell prototype manufacturing machine.

[0005] This application provides a dumbbell prototyping machine, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A dumbbell prototyping machine includes a processing platform, a base plate, a clamping mechanism disposed on the base plate, a shaped guide rail disposed on the base plate, a cutting tool, a driving mechanism for driving the cutting tool to move along the shaped guide rail, and a fixing mechanism for fixing the base plate; the fixing mechanism includes multiple L-shaped limiting blocks, an electric telescopic rod connected to the limiting blocks, multiple fixing grooves disposed on the top of the base plate, a mounting groove disposed on the processing platform, and multiple mounting holes, wherein the base plate is engaged with the mounting groove, the electric telescopic rod is disposed in the mounting hole, and the limiting blocks are engaged with the fixing groove.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when processing dumbbell templates of different models, the limiting block is raised by an electric telescopic rod, causing it to separate from the fixing groove. Then, the base plate is removed from the mounting groove, allowing for the disassembly of the clamping mechanism and the irregular-shaped guide rail. Alternatively, the clamping mechanism and the irregular-shaped guide rail can be installed by placing the base plate into the mounting groove and then engaging the limiting block with the fixing groove using the electric telescopic rod. Replacing the base plate allows for the simultaneous replacement of both the clamping mechanism and the irregular-shaped guide rail. Furthermore, the installation and disassembly process of the base plate is simple, thereby improving the processing efficiency of dumbbell templates and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0008] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor mounted on the machining platform, a limiting groove formed on the machining platform, a ball screw disposed in the limiting groove, a first limiting slider, a limiting telescopic rod, and a guide slider; one end of the ball screw is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor, and the other end is rotatably connected to the machining platform; the first limiting slider is threadedly connected to the ball screw and slidably connected to the limiting groove; one end of the limiting telescopic rod is connected to the first limiting slider, and the other end is connected to the cutting tool; the guide slider is disposed on the side of the limiting telescopic rod near the cutting tool, and the guide slider is slidably connected to the irregular guide rail.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor drives the ball screw to rotate, and the ball screw drives the first limit slider to slide in the limit groove. The first limit slider is connected to the tool through the limit telescopic rod. During the movement of the first limit slider, the guide slider slides in the irregular guide rail, thereby causing the limit telescopic rod to drive the tool to move along the irregular guide rail, and thus causing the tool to process the tube into a dumbbell strip.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting telescopic rod includes a fixed tube and a sliding rod, the sliding rod is slidably connected to the fixed tube, one end of the fixed tube is connected to the first limiting slider, the end of the sliding rod away from the fixed tube is connected to the cutter, a limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the fixed tube, and a second limiting slider is provided at the end of the sliding rod away from the cutter, the second limiting slider is slidably connected to the limiting groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the guide slider slides in the irregular guide rail, the guide slider drives the sliding rod to slide in the fixed tube, thereby causing the tool to move along the irregular guide rail, and thus the tool to process the tube into a dumbbell-shaped strip.

[0012] Preferably, there are multiple limiting grooves and multiple second limiting sliders. The multiple limiting grooves are arranged in a circumferential array on the inner wall of the fixed tube, and the multiple second limiting sliders are arranged in a circumferential array on the outer side of the sliding rod.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the arrangement of multiple second limiting sliders and multiple limiting grooves improves the connection stability between the sliding rod and the fixed tube, thereby improving the stability of the limiting telescopic rod driving the tool to move, and thus improving the processing quality of the tube segment by the tool.

[0014] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a bottom clamp connected to the base plate, a mounting bracket disposed on the bottom clamp, a limiting rod disposed on the mounting bracket, an adjusting screw threadedly connected to the mounting bracket, and a top clamp. The top clamp has a connecting hole, the limiting rod passes through the connecting hole and is slidably connected to the top clamp, one end of the adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the top clamp, and the other end is connected to a handle.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting screw can be rotated by turning the handle, the limiting rod limits the top clamp, and the adjusting screw drives the top clamp to rise and fall, thereby realizing the clamping or releasing of the tube segment to be processed.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom clamp includes a base fixedly connected to the base plate, a central shaft disposed in the middle of the base, an adjusting seat rotatably connected to the central shaft, and a limiting component for limiting the adjusting seat, wherein the mounting bracket is disposed on the side of the adjusting seat away from the base.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting component can limit and fix the adjusting seat, thereby allowing the cutting tool to process the clamped and fixed tube segment. After one side of the tube segment is processed, the limiting component releases the limiting of the adjusting seat, then the adjusting seat is rotated 180°, and the limiting component limits the adjusting seat again, so that the other side of the tube segment can be processed. The operation process is simple and convenient, further improving the processing efficiency of dumbbell splines and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0018] Preferably, the limiting component includes a first limiting hole on the base, a second limiting hole on the adjusting seat, and a limiting pin, wherein the limiting pin is inserted into the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting pin can be inserted into the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole to limit the adjustment seat. By removing the limiting pin from the first limiting hole and the second limiting hole, the adjustment seat can be rotated, which facilitates the processing of the other side of the tube segment.

[0020] Preferably, there are multiple limiting components, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom clamp.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple limiting components improve the limiting effect on the adjusting seat, thereby improving the connection stability between the adjusting seat and the base, and further improving the clamping effect of the clamping mechanism on the tube segment.

After one side of the tube is processed, the other side of the tube can be processed by removing the limiting pin 383 and rotating the adjusting seat 313, which further simplifies the operation process, thereby further improving the processing efficiency of the dumbbell strip and further reducing the labor intensity of the workers.
