Its industrial chain covers upstream raw material supply, midstream production and manufacturing, and downstream diversified application links. With the advancement of industrialization and urbanization, metal products are widely used in construction, transportation, energy and other fields, and the application scenarios are constantly expanding. Against this background, positioning devices for metal product manufacturing play an important role. From a market perspective, with the rapid development of emerging industries such as new energy vehicles and smart grids, the demand for high-performance alloy materials is constantly increasing, driving the upgrading of metal product manufacturing towards high precision and high performance. As a core piece of equipment to ensure production accuracy, the market demand for positioning devices will continue to rise, ushering in broad development prospects.

[0020] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0021] An embodiment of the present invention is shown in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] A positioning device for manufacturing metal products includes a base 1, a support platform 2 above the base 1, an installation groove 3 inside the support platform 2, a first motor 4 fixedly installed inside the installation groove 3, and an operating platform 5 installed after the output end of the first motor 4 passes through the inner top wall of the support platform 2. A set of sliding grooves 6 are arranged in a ring array on the upper surface of the support platform 2 and the bottom surface of the operating platform 5. Multiple balls 7 are slidably connected inside each set of sliding grooves 6. Four clamping mechanisms 8 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the operating platform 5. Each clamping mechanism 8 includes a fixing block 801 installed on the upper surface of the operating platform 5. When the first motor 4 is powered on, its output end drives the operating platform 5 to rotate, realizing the rotation function of the operating plane. The sliding grooves 6 and the balls 7 cooperate with each other to reduce the friction of the operating platform 5 during rotation, ensuring a smoother and more stable rotation process.

[0023] In this embodiment, an electric push rod 802 is installed on the outer surface of the fixing block 801. A clamping plate 803 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric push rod 802. A rubber pad 804 is installed on the outer surface of the clamping plate 803. When the electric push rod 802 is started, its output end drives the clamping plate 803 to move, thereby realizing the clamping or releasing operation of the object. The friction between the rubber pad 804 and the clamped object prevents the object from slipping during the clamping process.

[0024] In this embodiment, a lifting platform 9 is installed on the upper surface of the base 1, a second motor 10 is installed inside the lifting platform 9, a threaded rod 11 is installed at the output end of the second motor 10, a threaded tube 12 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 11, and the top end of the threaded tube 12 is installed on the bottom surface of the support platform 2.

[0025] In this embodiment, two limiting rods 13 are installed on the bottom surface of the support platform 2, and two connecting blocks 14 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the lifting platform 9.

[0026] In this embodiment, limit rings 15 are installed on the opposite sides of the two connecting blocks 14. The bottom end of each limit rod 13 passes through the limit ring 15 and is equipped with a stop block 16. The limit structure effectively prevents the support platform 2 from shifting or shaking during the lifting process, ensuring that it lifts and lowers smoothly in the vertical direction, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire device during height adjustment.

[0027] In this embodiment, four threaded cylinders 17 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the base 1. Each threaded cylinder 17 is threaded with a support leg 18 inside, which facilitates the adjustment of the screw depth of different support legs 18 in the threaded cylinder 17, so that the base 1 remains horizontal and the entire device is placed stably.

[0028] In this embodiment, a controller 19 is installed on the outer surface of the support platform 2. The controller 19 is electrically connected to the first motor 4, the second motor 10 and the clamping mechanism 8 through wires.

[0029] Working Principle: In use, firstly, the support leg 18 inside the threaded cylinder 17 is rotated to adjust the device to a horizontal position, ensuring the operating table 5 is stable. Then, the workpiece to be processed is placed on the surface of the operating table 5. The controller 19 activates the four clamping mechanisms 8, and multiple electric push rods 802 extend synchronously to facilitate the positioning and fixing of the workpiece. After the workpiece is fixed, the second motor 10 is started, driving the threaded rod 11 to rotate at a uniform speed. With the cooperation of the limiting components, the threaded tube 12 drives the support table 2 to rise and fall smoothly, adjusting to the required processing height. After the height is adjusted to the correct position, the second motor 10 is turned off, and the first motor 4 is started. The operating table 5 then begins to rotate flexibly. The orientation of the workpiece can be quickly adjusted according to different processing requirements, improving the convenience of processing operations, shortening processing time, and effectively improving overall production efficiency. At the same time, orientation adjustment can ensure the optimal cutting angle between the processing tool and the workpiece, reducing tool wear and extending the service life of the equipment. In addition, the multi-dimensional flexible adjustment capability allows the device to easily cope with complex curved surfaces and multi-process processing needs, further expanding the application scenarios of the equipment.

[0030] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
