Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aluminum alloy cup body processing technology, specifically, it relates to a drying rack for aluminum alloy cup body processing. Background Technology
[0002] Drying is a crucial step in the processing and production of aluminum alloy cups, requiring the cleaned or surface-treated cups to be stably placed in drying equipment.
[0003] Traditional drying racks typically use bolts or complex clips to fix the base plate to the column. During installation, each plate needs to be aligned with the hole and tightened. Disassembly also requires individual operation, which affects operational efficiency. Furthermore, the positioning, clamping, and unlocking functions of the drying rack rely on independent components, further impacting processing efficiency.
[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A drying rack for processing aluminum alloy cups includes a pair of uprights and a positioning plate connected between the pair of uprights.
[0007] The column is provided with a T-shaped groove, and a T-shaped block is slidably disposed on the T-shaped groove. A base plate is installed at the end of the T-shaped block. Several pairs of bases for supporting the aluminum alloy cup body are installed on the base plate. A fixing plate for positioning the aluminum alloy cup body is installed on the base plate, and the fixing plate is arc-shaped.
[0008] The base plate is provided with several pairs of push rods that are movably inserted, and the push rods correspond to the fixing plates. The several pairs of push rods movably penetrate the base plate, and a synchronization plate is installed on the several pairs of push rods. The synchronization plate and the positioning plate are pressed and adhered to each other.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a pair of columns are equipped with brackets at their bottoms. The brackets are arched, and several pairs of reinforcing ribs are installed between the brackets. The bottom of the brackets is provided with mounting holes for connecting casters.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the T-shaped groove inlet is located at the top of the T-shaped groove, and the size of the inlet is larger than the size of the T-shaped groove and the T-shaped block.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pair of handles are symmetrically installed on the side wall of the substrate, and anti-slip grooves are provided on the pair of handles.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a push rod is installed on the synchronization plate, and the push rod is attached to the positioning plate. The end of the push rod movably penetrates the substrate, and the push rod is movably inserted into the positioning cover installed on the outer wall of the substrate.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a baffle is slidably provided on the positioning cover. One end of the baffle is connected to the push rod, and a return spring is engaged between the other end of the baffle and the positioning cover. The compression direction of the return spring and the movement direction of the push rod are both on the same straight line.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] This invention enables rapid installation of the substrate by using a T-shaped groove and a T-shaped block. After installation, the push rod is squeezed by the positioning plate, which drives the top rod and the arc-shaped fixing plate to clamp the cup body from multiple directions, ensuring stable drying. When disassembling, unlocking the T-shaped block will release the fixing state in conjunction with the installation, eliminating the need to operate each component individually, which greatly improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly. Its structural linkage and ease of operation meet the high-efficiency drying requirements in the processing of aluminum alloy cup bodies.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a drying rack for processing aluminum alloy cups includes a pair of uprights 1 and a positioning plate 4 connected between the pair of uprights 1.
[0026] The column 1 has a T-shaped groove 7, and a T-shaped block 9 is slidably disposed on the T-shaped groove 7. A base plate 5 is installed at the end of the T-shaped block 9. Several pairs of bases 10 for supporting the aluminum alloy cup body are installed on the base plate 5. A fixing plate 11 for positioning the aluminum alloy cup body is installed on the base 10, and the fixing plate 11 is arc-shaped. This design allows the aluminum alloy cup body to fit tightly with the arc-shaped contour of the fixing plate 11 when it is placed. This not only allows for the rapid initial positioning of the cup body and effectively prevents it from moving randomly in the horizontal direction, but also, compared with the traditional planar positioning method, the arc-shaped fit can disperse the pressure when the cup body is placed, reduce the wear caused by contact on the surface of the cup body, and extend the service life of the cup body.
[0027] Several pairs of push rods 12 are movably inserted into the base plate 5, and the push rods 12 correspond to the fixing plate 11. The push rods 12 movably pass through the base plate 5, and a synchronization plate 13 is installed on the push rods 12. The synchronization plate 13 and the positioning plate 4 are pressed and adhered to each other. This structure realizes multi-directional clamping and fixing of the cup body. Compared with a single fixing method, it can better cope with vibration, hot air impact and other situations that may occur during the drying process, ensuring that the aluminum alloy cup body remains stable during the drying process, avoiding uneven drying caused by shaking, and effectively improving the drying quality.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the specific embodiment, a pair of uprights 1 are fitted with brackets 2 at their bottom. The brackets 2 are arched, and several pairs of reinforcing ribs 3 are installed between the brackets 2. The bottom of the brackets 2 has mounting holes for connecting casters. The arched brackets 2, combined with the reinforcing ribs 3, ensure the overall structural strength of the drying rack while reducing its own weight, making it convenient to handle and install. The design of the caster mounting holes at the bottom allows the drying rack to move flexibly. Whether adjusting its position according to different processes in the production workshop, or moving it during equipment maintenance and site cleaning, it is more convenient and efficient, greatly improving the practicality and versatility of the drying rack.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, furthermore, the T-slot 7 has an inlet 8, and the inlet 8 is located at the top of the T-slot 7. The size of the inlet 8 is larger than the size of the T-slot 7 and the T-block 9. The above structure simplifies the installation process of the substrate 5. Operators do not need to use complicated tools; they only need to align the T-block 9 with the inlet 8 to easily place it into the T-slot 7. Compared with the traditional fixed installation method, it significantly shortens the installation time, reduces the installation difficulty, and improves the equipment assembly efficiency. It also facilitates the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the substrate 5.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a pair of handles 6 are symmetrically mounted on the sidewall of the substrate 5, and anti-slip grooves are provided on the handles 6. When installing and adjusting the position of the substrate 5, the operator can hold the handles 6 and use the friction increased by the anti-slip grooves to push the substrate 5 smoothly and accurately, avoiding deviation in the installation position of the substrate 5 due to slippage, thus improving the safety and accuracy of the operation, and also reducing the labor intensity of the operator.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a push rod 14 is further mounted on the synchronization plate 13, and the push rod 14 is in contact with the positioning plate 4. The end of the push rod 14 movably penetrates the base plate 5, and the push rod 14 is movably inserted into the positioning cover 15 mounted on the outer wall of the base plate 5. The above structure forms an efficient linkage mechanism between the push rod 14, the synchronization plate 13, and the top rod 12. Through simple push rod operation, synchronous control of multiple top rods 12 can be achieved. Compared with the method of operating the fixed parts one by one, the fixing efficiency of the aluminum alloy cup body is greatly improved, saving manpower and time costs.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a baffle 16 is slidably mounted on the positioning cover 15. One end of the baffle 16 is connected to the push rod 14, and a return spring 17 is engaged between the other end of the baffle 16 and the positioning cover 15. The compression direction of the return spring 17 and the movement direction of the push rod 14 are both on the same straight line. The return spring 17 allows the push rod 14 to automatically reset after completing the fixing and disassembly operations of the cup body, eliminating the need for manual adjustment. This not only simplifies the operation process but also ensures that the components are in their initial state after each operation, preparing them for the next operation, further improving the efficiency and stability of the equipment.
[0033] The operating principle of a drying rack for processing aluminum alloy cups is as follows:
[0034] When installing the substrate 5, since the size of the inlet 8 of the T-slot 7 is larger than the size of the T-slot 7 and the T-block 9, the T-block 9 can be aligned with the inlet 8 and easily placed into the T-slot 7. At this time, hold the handle 6 and increase the friction through the anti-slip groove on the handle 6 to smoothly push the substrate 5, so that the T-block 9 slides along the T-slot 7 to the appropriate position, thereby completing the initial connection between the substrate 5 and the column 1.
[0035] When using this drying rack to dry the aluminum alloy cup, first place the aluminum alloy cup on the base 10. The arc-shaped fixing plate 11 will fit against the outer contour of the cup to initially position the cup and prevent it from moving in the horizontal direction.
[0036] After the base plate 5 is installed in place, the push rod 14 is pressed by the positioning plate 4, so the push rod 14 drives the synchronous plate 13 to move as a whole. Since several pairs of push rods 12 are connected to the synchronous plate 13, when the synchronous plate 13 moves, it will drive the push rods 12 to slide outward on the base plate 5. The push rods 12 correspond to the fixing plate 11. As the push rods 12 move outward, they will cooperate with the fixing plate 11 to clamp the aluminum alloy cup body placed on the base 10 from multiple directions, thereby locking the aluminum alloy cup body. When the push rod 14 slides, the push rod 14 drives the baffle 16 to slide inside the positioning cover 15, and can compress the return spring 17 for easy reset later.
[0037] When it is necessary to disassemble the cup body on the substrate, simply unlock the T-block 9. Due to the linkage between the T-block 9 and components such as the synchronization plate 13, the simultaneous unlocking of the T-block 9 allows it to slide while the synchronization plate 13 and the positioning plate 4 are locked in place. Once the synchronization plate 13 is unlocked, the cup body can also be unlocked. This design greatly improves disassembly efficiency, eliminating the need to process each fixed component individually, and enabling rapid disassembly, thus meeting the needs of efficient operation in actual production.
[0038] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to explain the present utility model, not to limit the present utility model. Any changes, substitutions, combinations, simplifications, modifications, etc., made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
