Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining center technology, and in particular to an aluminum bracket machining center. Background Technology
[0002] A machining center is a multi-functional CNC machine tool. It integrates multiple machining functions such as milling, boring, drilling, and tapping. A workpiece can complete multiple machining operations in a single setup, effectively reducing the number of setups and improving machining accuracy. For example, when machining a complex box-shaped part, drilling, boring, and milling operations can be performed on various surfaces. Machining centers typically have a tool magazine that can store different tools and automatically change tools according to the program. Their control system can precisely control the tool path and machining parameters, achieving a high degree of automation. They are widely used in many fields such as machinery manufacturing, automotive industry, and aerospace.
[0003] In existing machining centers, bench vises are typically used to clamp aluminum bracket blanks, and only one aluminum bracket blank can be clamped at a time. This results in only one aluminum bracket being processed at a time, requiring frequent clamping of aluminum bracket components for processing, which leads to low processing efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To improve the processing efficiency of aluminum brackets, this application provides an aluminum bracket processing center.
[0005] The aluminum bracket machining center provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An aluminum bracket processing center includes a machine body with a sliding plate movably connected to it, and a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a rocker backboard, a plurality of "T"-shaped blocks, and a drive assembly. The rocker backboard is rotatably connected to the sliding plate. The rocker backboard has a plurality of positioning grooves that can cooperate with the aluminum bracket. The plurality of "T"-shaped blocks are slidably connected to the rocker backboard along a direction perpendicular to the rotation of the rocker backboard, and the plurality of "T"-shaped blocks are respectively located between adjacent positioning grooves. The drive assembly is used to drive the plurality of "T"-shaped blocks to slide. When the aluminum bracket is clamped, the aluminum bracket cooperates with the positioning grooves, and the "T"-shaped blocks on both sides of the positioning grooves simultaneously abut against the aluminum bracket inside the positioning grooves.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when clamping the aluminum bracket, the aluminum bracket blank can be placed in the positioning groove, the position of the aluminum bracket blank on the rocker backboard is positioned, and its movement in the X and Y directions is limited. The drive component drives multiple "T" blocks to slide towards one side of the rocker backboard and abut against the aluminum bracket blank in the positioning groove, thus limiting the movement of the aluminum bracket blank in the Z direction. By setting multiple limiting grooves and "T" blocks, the machining center can process multiple aluminum bracket blanks simultaneously in one clamping, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the aluminum bracket. Furthermore, by setting "T" blocks, it can simultaneously abut against the aluminum bracket blanks in two adjacent positioning grooves, thereby improving clamping efficiency and thus improving the overall processing efficiency of the aluminum bracket.
[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a plurality of cylinders, a plurality of guide rods, and an adjusting component. The plurality of cylinders correspond to a plurality of "T"-shaped blocks and a plurality of guide rods, the plurality of guide rods are fixedly connected to the rocker backboard, and the plurality of "T"-shaped blocks are slidably connected to the corresponding guide rods. The plurality of cylinders are fixedly connected to the rocker backboard, and one end of the piston rod of the plurality of cylinders is respectively disposed on the corresponding "T"-shaped block. The adjusting component is used to adjust the position of the "T"-shaped block on the piston rod of the cylinder.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the piston movement of several cylinder piston rods drives several "T" blocks to reciprocate and slide; and several guide rods limit the sliding of the "T" blocks, reducing the possibility that the position of the "T" blocks on the cylinder piston rods will shift, causing the "T" blocks to abut against the machined surface of the aluminum bracket.
[0010] Preferably, the adjusting component includes a plurality of threaded rods, each of which corresponds to a plurality of "T"-shaped blocks. The plurality of threaded rods are rotatably connected to the piston rod of the cylinder along the sliding direction of the "T"-shaped blocks, and the plurality of threaded rods are threaded through and threadedly connected to the corresponding "T"-shaped blocks.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and setting an adjusting component, the position of the "T" block on the cylinder piston rod is adjustable. When the threaded rod is rotated, the "T" block moves along the axis of the threaded rod to adjust the clamping force of the "T" block when it abuts against the aluminum bracket.
[0012] Preferably, it also includes a force-applying rod, wherein each of the plurality of "T"-shaped blocks has a through groove, and each of the plurality of threaded rods is threadedly connected to the corresponding through groove. Each of the plurality of threaded rods is coaxially and fixedly connected to a force-applying block, and each of the plurality of force-applying blocks has a mating groove. The force-applying rod is detachably connected to any force-applying block, and the force-applying rod has a mating block that can mate with the mating groove. When the force-applying rod is connected to any force-applying block, the mating block mates with the mating groove on that force-applying block.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a through groove and threading the threaded rod within the through groove, the possibility of the force-applying block being exposed and affecting the movement path of the tool during processing is reduced. By setting a force-applying block, the mating block on the force-applying rod extends into the through groove and engages with the mating groove on the force-applying block. At this time, applying force to the force-applying rod causes the force-applying block to drive the threaded rod to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the "T" block on the cylinder piston rod, and thus adjusting the clamping force when the "T" block abuts against the aluminum bracket.
[0014] Preferably, it also includes a plurality of sealing blocks, each of which corresponds to a plurality of "T"-shaped blocks, and each of the sealing blocks can cooperate with the through groove. When it is not necessary to adjust the position of the "T"-shaped blocks on the cylinder piston rod, the sealing block cooperates with the end of the through groove away from the cylinder in the axial direction.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the through groove on the "T"-shaped block is sealed by the sealing block, reducing the possibility of chips accumulating in the through groove.
[0016] Preferably, the "T"-shaped block is provided with a copper sheet, which abuts against the aluminum bracket when the aluminum bracket is clamped.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and setting copper sheets on the "T"-shaped block, the possibility of excessive clamping force on the aluminum bracket causing clamping marks on the surface of the aluminum bracket is reduced.
[0018] The main technical effects of this utility model are reflected in the following aspects:
[0019] 1. This utility model, by setting up a clamping component, allows the aluminum bracket blank to be placed in the positioning groove when clamping the aluminum bracket. The position of the aluminum bracket blank on the rocker backboard is positioned, and its movement in the X and Y directions is limited. A drive component drives multiple "T"-shaped blocks to slide towards one side of the rocker backboard and abut against the aluminum bracket blank in the positioning groove, limiting the movement of the aluminum bracket blank in the Z direction. By setting multiple limiting grooves and "T"-shaped blocks, the machining center can process multiple aluminum bracket blanks simultaneously in a single clamping operation, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the aluminum bracket. Furthermore, the "T"-shaped blocks allow for simultaneous abutment of aluminum bracket blanks in two adjacent positioning grooves, improving clamping efficiency and thus enhancing the overall processing efficiency of the aluminum bracket.
[0020] 2. This utility model allows the position of the "T" block on the cylinder piston rod to be adjustable by setting an adjustment component. When the threaded rod is rotated, the "T" block moves along the axial direction of the threaded rod to adjust the clamping force of the "T" block when it abuts against the aluminum bracket.
[0021] 3. By incorporating copper plates, this utility model reduces the possibility of excessive clamping force on the aluminum bracket, which could lead to clamping marks on the aluminum bracket surface. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail to make the technical solution of this application easier to understand and master.
[0029] This application discloses an aluminum bracket processing center.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment of an aluminum bracket processing center includes a machine body 1, a sliding plate 11 movably connected to the machine body 1, a cradle turntable 12 fixedly connected to the sliding plate 11, and a clamping assembly 2. The clamping assembly 2 includes a cradle backboard 21, several "T"-shaped blocks 22, and a drive assembly 23. The two ends of the cradle backboard 21 in the length direction are detachably connected to the cradle turntable 12 by bolts, so that the cradle backboard 21 can be rotatably connected to the sliding plate 11. The cradle backboard 21 has several positioning grooves 211 that can cooperate with the aluminum bracket. Several positioning grooves 211 are evenly distributed along the length of the rocker backboard 21, and several "T"-shaped blocks 22 are slidably connected to the rocker backboard 21 along the rotation direction perpendicular to the rocker backboard 21. The several "T"-shaped blocks 22 are located between adjacent positioning grooves 211. The drive assembly 23 is used to drive the several "T"-shaped blocks 22 to slide. When the aluminum bracket is clamped, the aluminum bracket cooperates with the positioning grooves 211, and the "T"-shaped blocks 22 on both sides of the positioning grooves 211 simultaneously abut against the aluminum bracket inside the positioning grooves 211.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 When clamping the aluminum bracket, the aluminum bracket blank can be placed in the positioning groove 211 to position the aluminum bracket blank on the rocker arm 21 and limit its movement in the X and Y directions. The drive assembly 23 drives multiple "T" blocks 22 to slide towards one side of the rocker arm 21 and abut against the aluminum bracket blank in the positioning groove 211 to limit the movement of the aluminum bracket blank in the Z direction on the positioning groove 211. By setting multiple limiting grooves and "T" blocks 22, the machining center can process multiple aluminum bracket blanks simultaneously in one clamping, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the aluminum bracket. Furthermore, by setting "T" blocks 22, it can simultaneously abut against the aluminum bracket blanks in two adjacent positioning grooves 211, thereby improving clamping efficiency and thus improving the overall processing efficiency of the aluminum bracket.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The drive assembly 23 includes several cylinders 231, several guide rods 232, and an adjusting component 24. The several cylinders 231 correspond to several "T"-shaped blocks 22 and several guide rods 232, respectively. The several guide rods 232 are fixedly connected to the rocker backboard 21, and the several "T"-shaped blocks 22 are slidably connected to the corresponding guide rods 232. The several cylinders 231 are fixedly connected to the side of the rocker backboard 21 away from the positioning groove 211. One end of the piston rod of the several cylinders 231 passes through the rocker backboard 21 and is installed on the corresponding "T"-shaped block 22. The adjusting component 24 is used to adjust the position of the "T"-shaped block 22 on the piston rod of the cylinder 231. The piston movement of the piston rods of several cylinders 231 drives several "T"-shaped blocks 22 to reciprocate and slide; and the sliding of the "T"-shaped blocks 22 is limited by several guide rods 232 to reduce the possibility that the position of the "T"-shaped blocks 22 on the piston rods of the cylinders 231 will be offset, resulting in the "T"-shaped blocks 22 abutting against the machined surface of the aluminum bracket.
[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjusting component 24 includes a plurality of threaded rods 241, which correspond to a plurality of “T” blocks 22 respectively. The plurality of threaded rods 241 are rotatably connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 231 along the sliding direction of the “T” blocks 22, and the plurality of threaded rods 241 are respectively threaded through and threaded to the corresponding “T” blocks 22. It also includes a force-applying rod 244, several "T"-shaped blocks 22 each having a through groove 221, several threaded rods 241 each being threaded into the corresponding through groove 221, several threaded rods 241 each being coaxially and fixedly connected to a force-applying block 242, several force-applying blocks 242 each having a mating groove 243, the force-applying rod 244 being detachably connected to any force-applying block 242, the force-applying rod 244 having a mating block 245 that can mate with the mating groove 243, when the force-applying rod 244 is connected to any force-applying block 242, the mating block 245 mates with the mating groove 243 on the force-applying block 242.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 By setting a through groove 221 and threading the threaded rod 241 into the through groove 221, the exposed force block 242 is reduced, which may affect the movement path of the tool during the machining process. By setting the force block 242, the mating block 245 on the force rod 244 extends into the through groove 221 and engages with the mating groove 243 on the force block 242. At this time, force is applied to the force rod 244, causing the force block 242 to drive the threaded rod 241 to rotate, so that the position of the "T" block 22 on the piston rod of the cylinder 231 is adjustable, that is, the "T" block 22 can move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 241 to adjust the clamping force of the "T" block 22 when it abuts against the aluminum bracket.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 It also includes several sealing blocks 222, each corresponding to a number of "T"-shaped blocks 22. Each sealing block 222 can engage with a through groove 221. When the position of the "T"-shaped block 22 on the piston rod of the cylinder 231 does not need adjustment, the sealing block 222 engages with the end of the through groove 221 away from the cylinder 231 along its axial direction. The sealing blocks 222 seal the through groove 221 on the "T"-shaped block 22, reducing the possibility of chips accumulating in the through groove 221.
[0036] Reference Figure 5 A copper sheet 223 is fixedly connected to the "T"-shaped block 22. When the aluminum bracket is clamped, the copper sheet 223 abuts against the aluminum bracket. By setting the copper sheet 223 on the "T"-shaped block 22, the possibility of excessive clamping force on the aluminum bracket causing clamping marks on the surface of the aluminum bracket is reduced.
[0037] Of course, the above are just typical examples of this application. In addition, this application may have many other specific implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
