AI Technical Summary
Existing aluminum tube processing feeding devices are prone to slippage or deviation from the predetermined path due to vibration during the conveying process, affecting processing accuracy. Furthermore, they cannot be actively aligned, which may lead to jamming or dropping of the material.
A feeding device including an alignment component and a feeding component was designed. The aluminum tube is automatically aligned by the cooperation of a movable plate, a connecting plate and a clamping plate. The aluminum tube is intermittently fed by a motor-driven support block and guided to slide down by a guide rod.
This effectively prevents aluminum tubes from shifting or slipping during transport, ensuring stable feeding and improving processing accuracy and efficiency.

Description
A feeding device for aluminum tube processing Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum tube processing technology, specifically to a feeding device for aluminum tube processing. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum tubes are one of the key components of new energy batteries, and their automated processing is an important branch of the new energy industry.
[0003] According to a public notice of an aluminum tube processing feeding device (Announcement No.: CN209009541U), the bottom of the feeding chamber and the upper surface of the top plate are inclined. Therefore, the aluminum tube placed in the feeding chamber will roll downwards due to gravity, and then roll onto the top plate, where it will be stuck between the top plate and the wall. When the aluminum tube rolls onto the top plate, the pressure sensor on the upper surface of the top plate can sense the pressure, and then the cylinder stops moving downwards. After that, the cylinder drives the top plate to move upwards. When the top plate moves to the same height as the wall of the feeding chamber, the aluminum tube will roll downwards due to gravity, and then roll into the "V"-shaped guide plate set on the conveyor belt. The baffles set on both sides of the conveyor belt can prevent the aluminum tube from slipping to both sides during the conveying process.
[0004] In the aforementioned application, the conveyor belt would vibrate during continuous operation, causing the aluminum tube to slide or roll within the "V"-shaped guide plate, or even deviate from the predetermined conveying path, affecting the accuracy of subsequent processing. The existing baffle could only passively restrict the lateral movement of the aluminum tube, but could not actively straighten the aluminum tube during the conveying process, which could cause the aluminum tube to deviate due to inertia or vibration, or even get stuck or fall off. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding device for aluminum tube processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for aluminum tube processing, comprising an operating frame, a limiting tooth fixed to the top of the operating frame, a connecting frame fixed to the inner side below the operating frame, and feeding components and alignment components provided on the surfaces of the operating frame and the connecting frame.
[0007] The alignment component includes:
[0008] The movable plate is used to pull the connecting plate to flip it over.
[0009] The linkage plate is used to pull the fixed plate and the clamping plate closer or further apart;
[0010] Clamping plates are used to straighten aluminum tubes.
[0011] Preferably, the movable plate is located inside the lower part of the operating frame. A damper is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate, and a base plate is fixed to the bottom of the damper. The base plate is fixed to the inside of the connecting frame, and a spring is fixed to the top of the base plate. The top of the spring is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate. Connecting plates are hinged to both sides of the movable plate. A fixed plate is hinged to the end of the connecting plate away from the movable plate. A clamping plate is fixed to the top of the fixed plate. Stabilizing rods are fixed to both sides of the operating frame. The stabilizing rods pass through the fixed plate and are slidably connected to the fixed plate. When the support block is disengaged from the aluminum tube, the long plate abuts against the top of the movable plate. The movable plate moves down, pulling the connecting plate to flip. The connecting plate drives the fixed plate and clamping plate to move closer to each other, thereby straightening both ends of the aluminum tube. When the long plate is disengaged from the top of the movable plate, the spring drives the movable plate, connecting plate, fixed plate, and clamping plate to reset.
[0012] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a motor, which is fixed to the right side surface of the operating frame. The output shaft of the motor passes through the operating frame and is rotatably connected to the operating frame. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner right side of the operating frame. The left end of the output shaft of the motor is fixed to the right end of the rotating rod. A connecting block is fixed to the left end of the rotating rod. A short rod is fixed to the side of the connecting block away from the rotating rod. A long plate is rotatably connected to the end of the short rod away from the connecting block. A support block is fixed to the top of the long plate. When the motor is turned on, the rotating rod drives the connecting block to rotate synchronously. Through the short rod, the long plate continuously rotates counterclockwise. When the support block moves upward, it supports the aluminum tube and moves it close to the discharge guide rod. When the support block moves downward, the aluminum tube is located between the limiting teeth, so that the aluminum tube can be fed intermittently and continuously.
[0013] Preferably, a feeding guide rod is fixed to the right end of the operating frame, and a discharging guide rod is fixed to the left end of the operating frame, which facilitates loading and unloading.
[0014] Preferably, the rotating rod, the connecting block, and the short rod are each provided in two sets, and the two sets of the rotating rod, the connecting block, and the short rod are arrayed at both ends of the long plate, so that the long plate can stably drive the support block to move.
[0015] Preferably, both the feed guide rod and the discharge guide rod are inclined to facilitate the sliding of the aluminum tube.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a feeding device for aluminum tube processing, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This feeding device for aluminum tube processing, through the alignment component, when the support block is detached from the aluminum tube, the top of the long plate and the movable plate abuts. At this time, the movable plate moves down and pulls the connecting plate to flip. The connecting plate drives the fixed plate and the clamping plate to move closer to each other, which can straighten both ends of the aluminum tube and prevent the phenomenon of deviation or slippage during the transmission process. The stabilizing rod can stabilize the movement of the fixed plate and avoid affecting the stability of the clamping plate.
[0018] 2. This feeding device for aluminum tube processing, through the feeding components, turns on the motor, and the rotating rod drives the connecting block to rotate synchronously. Through the short rod, the long plate is driven to rotate continuously counterclockwise, which synchronously drives the support block to move. When the support block moves upward, it supports the aluminum tube and moves it close to the discharge guide rod. When the support block moves downward, the support block is no longer in contact with the aluminum tube, and the aluminum tube is located between the limiting teeth, so that the aluminum tube can be fed intermittently or continuously.

Spring. Detailed Implementation
[0024] As shown in Figures 1-4, this utility model provides a technical solution: a feeding device for aluminum tube processing, including an operating frame 1, a limiting tooth 4 fixed on the top of the operating frame 1, a connecting frame 7 fixed on the inner side below the operating frame 1, and a feeding component 5 and an alignment component 6 provided on the surfaces of the operating frame 1 and the connecting frame 7; the alignment component 6 includes: a movable plate 60, a connecting plate 61, a clamping plate 62, a fixed plate 63, a stabilizing rod 64, a base plate 65, a damper 66, and a spring 67.
[0025] A movable plate 60 is located inside the lower part of the operating frame 1. A damper 66 is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate 60, and a base plate 65 is fixed to the bottom of the damper 66. The base plate 65 is fixed to the inside of the connecting frame 7. A spring 67 is fixed to the top of the base plate 65, and the top of the spring 67 is fixed to the bottom of the movable plate 60. A connecting plate 61 is hinged to both sides of the movable plate 60. A fixed plate 63 is hinged to the end of the connecting plate 61 away from the movable plate 60. A clamping plate 62 is fixed to the top of the fixed plate 63. Stabilizing rods 64 are fixed to both sides of the operating frame 1. The stabilizing rods 64 penetrate the fixed plate 63 and the stabilizing rods... When the long plate 54 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 63, and the support block 55 is disengaged from the aluminum tube, the long plate 54 abuts against the top of the movable plate 60. The movable plate 60 moves down, pulling the connecting plate 61 to flip. The connecting plate 61 drives the fixed plate 63 and the clamping plate 62 to move closer to each other, which can straighten both ends of the aluminum tube and prevent deviation or slippage during transmission. When the long plate 54 is disengaged from the top of the movable plate 60, the spring 67 is released, which allows the movable plate 60 to drive the connecting plate 61, the fixed plate 63, and the clamping plate 62 to reset. At this time, the clamping plate 62 is away from the operating frame 1 and will not affect the normal transmission of the aluminum tube.
[0026] The feeding assembly 5 includes a motor 50, which is fixed to the right side surface of the operating frame 1. The output shaft of the motor 50 passes through the operating frame 1 and is rotatably connected to the operating frame 1. A rotating rod 51 is rotatably connected to the inner right side of the operating frame 1. The left end of the output shaft of the motor 50 is fixed to the right end of the rotating rod 51. A connecting block 52 is fixed to the left end of the rotating rod 51. A short rod 53 is fixed to the side of the connecting block 52 away from the rotating rod 51. A long plate 54 is rotatably connected to the end of the short rod 53 away from the connecting block 52. A support block 55 is fixed to the top of the long plate 54. 1. Two sets of linkage blocks 52 and short rods 53 are provided. The two sets of rotating rods 51, linkage blocks 52 and short rods 53 are arrayed at both ends of the long plate 54. When the motor 50 is turned on, the rotating rods 51 drive the linkage blocks 52 to rotate synchronously. Through the short rods 53, the long plate 54 is driven to rotate continuously counterclockwise, which can synchronously drive the support block 55 to move synchronously. When the support block 55 moves upward, the support block 55 supports the aluminum tube and drives the aluminum tube to move closer to the discharge guide rod 3. When the support block 55 moves downward, the aluminum tube is located between the limiting teeth 4, so that the aluminum tube can be fed intermittently and continuously.
[0027] The right end of the operating frame 1 is fixed with a feeding guide rod 2, and the left end of the operating frame 1 is fixed with a discharging guide rod 3. Both the feeding guide rod 2 and the discharging guide rod 3 are inclined to facilitate loading and unloading.
[0028] When aluminum tubes need to be fed, the feeding guide rod 2 guides the aluminum tubes, causing them to slide to the top of the operating frame 1. Simultaneously, the motor 50 is activated. The rotating rod 51 drives the connecting block 52 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the long plate 54 to rotate continuously counter-clockwise via the short rod 53. This synchronously drives the support block 55 to move. When the support block 55 moves upward, it supports the aluminum tube and moves it closer to the discharge guide rod 3. When the support block 55 moves downward, the aluminum tube is positioned between the limiting teeth 4, preventing slippage. This allows for intermittent and continuous feeding of the aluminum tube. When the aluminum tube is moved to the discharge guide rod 3, it slides down. The support block 55 then disengages from the aluminum tube. During the transfer of the aluminum tube, the long plate 54 moves downward and contacts the top of the movable plate 60. As the long plate 54 continues to move, the movable plate 60 moves downward, pulling the connecting plate 61 to flip. At this time, the connecting plate 61 drives the fixed plate 63 and the clamping plate 62 to move closer to each other, which can straighten both ends of the aluminum tube and prevent deviation or slippage during the transfer process. When the long plate 54 is removed from the top of the movable plate 60, the spring 67 is released, which allows the movable plate 60 to drive the connecting plate 61, the fixed plate 63, and the clamping plate 62 to reset. At this time, the clamping plate 62 is away from the operating frame 1 and will not affect the normal transfer of the aluminum tube. The damper 66 can prevent the spring 67 from being released too quickly and affecting the normal use of the feeding assembly 5.
[0029] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
