Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of profile processing equipment technology, specifically to an axial positioning device for aluminum profiles. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional axial positioning devices for aluminum profiles typically rely on mechanical positioning to ensure the stability and accuracy of the profiles during processing. These mechanical positioning devices use fixed supports and clamping systems to position the aluminum profiles, ensuring that they do not deviate excessively during processing. While these mechanical positioning devices can achieve relatively accurate positioning to a certain extent, it is difficult to maintain a constant preload manually, which can easily damage the surface of the aluminum alloy profiles, or even deform them, resulting in poor appearance, affecting the quality of the finished product, or even causing scrap, thus impacting the efficiency and quality of the entire processing.

[0003] Traditional axial positioning devices typically focus only on the axial position of aluminum profiles, neglecting the importance of circumferential positioning. However, circumferential positioning is also a crucial factor affecting machining accuracy during aluminum profile processing. Without precise circumferential positioning, the stability of the aluminum profile during processing will be significantly reduced, easily leading to asymmetrical or uneven machining results, further increasing the difficulty for operators. The lack of circumferential positioning not only increases the risk of errors but may also make subsequent processing steps more challenging. Utility Model Content

A drive source for moving the sliding positioning unit along the length of the operating platform is provided on one side of the frame.

[0006] Preferably, the upper surface of the operating table is provided with a plurality of slide rails, each slide rail is slidably fitted with a side clamping block, and each slide rail is provided with a tensioning elastic element that pulls the side clamping block toward the frame.

[0021] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example

[0023] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 This application introduces an axial positioning device for aluminum profiles:

[0024] Rack 1 and Control Panel 4

[0025] The frame 1 serves as the basic framework for the entire aluminum profile axial positioning device, providing excellent stability and support. A worktable 4 for supporting the aluminum profile is located in the middle of the frame 1. The function of the worktable 4 is to provide a stable base surface, allowing the aluminum profile to be placed securely on it and preventing errors caused by inaccurate positioning during subsequent processing. Several slide rails 7 can be installed on the upper surface of the worktable 4 to accommodate other positioning and clamping devices.

[0026] Sliding base 2 and sliding positioning unit 3

[0027] A sliding base 2 is arranged along the length of the operating table 4 on the upper part of the frame 1. A sliding positioning unit 3 is installed on the sliding base 2, mainly used for precise axial positioning of the aluminum profile. The cooperation between the sliding base 2 and the positioning unit allows the positioning unit to slide along the length of the operating table 4 as needed, thereby fine-tuning the position of the aluminum profile and ensuring that the aluminum profile remains stable and does not shift during processing. The sliding positioning unit 3 refers to the equipment used to mark the aluminum profile to facilitate subsequent drilling, grooving, cutting, bending, and other processing, such as a laser engraving machine, laser marking machine, laser pen, etc.

[0028] To allow the sliding positioning unit 3 to move freely on the operating table 4, a drive source 5 is provided on one side of the frame 1. The drive source 5 precisely adjusts the axial position of the aluminum profile by moving the sliding positioning unit 3 along the length of the operating table 4. The design of the drive source 5 ensures that the aluminum profile maintains correct axial positioning throughout operation, thereby avoiding positioning errors during processing. Figure 1 The drive source 5 is a drive motor, and the sliding base 2 is a screw that is directly connected to the drive motor. The screw drive controls the sliding positioning unit 3 to move along the length of the operating table 4, which is convenient for actual operation.

[0029] Slide rail 7 and side clamping block 8

[0030] The upper surface of the operating table 4 is equipped with multiple slide rails 7, and a side clamping block 8 is slidably installed in each slide rail 7. The side clamping block 8 is used to clamp the side of the aluminum profile to ensure that the aluminum profile does not shift laterally during processing. Each slide rail 7 is equipped with a tensioning elastic element 16, which is used to pull the side clamping block 8 towards one side of the frame 1, thereby providing stable lateral positioning pressure for the aluminum profile and preventing the aluminum profile from shifting or being damaged on the surface due to insufficient preload.

[0031] Top surface clamping column 12 and top surface clamping plate 14

[0032] To further ensure the stability of the aluminum profile, the upper surface of the operating table 4 is also equipped with several top surface clamping columns 12. Each top surface clamping column 12 is rotatably mounted with a top surface clamping plate 14, which can slide along the axial direction of the top surface clamping column 12. A top surface clamping elastic element 13 is provided between the bottom surface of the top surface clamping plate 14 and the upper surface of the operating table 4, which can adjust the pressure of the top surface clamping plate 14 as needed, thereby ensuring that the aluminum profile will not suffer surface damage or deformation due to insufficient or excessive clamping force during processing.

[0033] The top pressing post 12 has a locking protrusion parallel to the axis of the slide rail 7, and the top pressing plate 14 has a locking notch 15 that matches the locking protrusion. This design allows the top pressing plate 14 to be locked in a specific position, thereby avoiding positioning errors caused by vibration or external force and ensuring that the aluminum profile remains stable during processing.

[0034] Side clamping roller 10 and side clamping groove 9

[0035] Each side clamping block 8 has a side clamping groove 9 on the side facing the frame 1, and a side clamping wheel 10 that can rotate relative to it is installed in the side clamping groove 9. The side clamping wheel 10 can slide along the side clamping groove 9. In simple terms, the rotation axis of the side clamping wheel 10 falls into the groove with a clearance fit, so that the side clamping wheel 10 can slide along the side clamping groove 9 while rotating, thereby providing uniform and stable lateral pressure to the aluminum profile. The side clamping groove 9 is also provided with an elastic element. The function of the elastic element is to push the side clamping wheel 10 towards one side of the frame 1 to ensure that the aluminum profile is always subjected to uniform lateral pressure during positioning.

[0036] Press the mounting groove 18 and the elastic ball 6

[0037] The upper surface of the operating table 4 is also provided with several pressing mounting slots 18, and each pressing mounting slot 18 is equipped with a relatively rotatable elastic ball 6. The elastic ball 6 can adjust the preload according to the operation requirements. Through the pressing elastic element 17 in the pressing mounting slot 18, the elastic ball 6 always maintains uniform pressure on the aluminum profile, preventing unnecessary displacement of the aluminum profile during processing.

[0038] Here is one way to use it:

[0039] The aluminum profile is placed on the operating table 4. The side clamping blocks 8 press and push the aluminum profile towards the frame 1, forming a clamping force. Because the front end of the side clamping blocks 8 is equipped with rotatable and retractable side clamping wheels 10, the sides of the aluminum profile are protected from scratches. At this time, the bottom surface is in contact with the elastic ball 6. Because the elastic ball 6 has a rotatable characteristic, the bottom surface of the aluminum profile is protected from scratches. At this time, the top clamping plate 14 can be rotated, such as... Figure 4 Rotate the locking notch 15 until it aligns with the locking protrusion on the top surface clamping post 12, at which point downward pressure is applied to the aluminum profile. This completes the axial positioning of the aluminum profile.

[0040] At this time, the sliding positioning unit 3 can perform axial positioning of the aluminum profile according to the preset program and make markings. Furthermore, by setting a ruler on the operating table 4, the aluminum profile can also be slid along the operating table 4 and manually positioned and marked without the need for the sliding base 2 and the sliding positioning unit 3.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
