Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum processing technology, and in particular to a clamping device for aluminum strip processing. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum strips, as an important basic material, are widely used in many industries such as construction, electronics, and aerospace. Based on structural differences, aluminum strips are mainly divided into two types: solid aluminum strips and hollow aluminum strips. The two have significant differences in processing technology: the clamping of solid aluminum strips usually relies on external clamping force, while hollow aluminum strips, due to their internal cavity structure, require simultaneous application of synergistic clamping forces to their inner and outer walls to prevent deformation or slippage.
[0003] Currently, existing clamping devices for aluminum strip processing generally suffer from a lack of functionality: most devices are designed only for solid aluminum strips, fixing the outer circumference of the strip through external clamping structures (such as clamping plates or blocks), failing to meet the clamping requirements of hollow aluminum strips; a few clamping devices for hollow aluminum strips rely on internal support structures, but lack compatibility with solid aluminum strips. This single-function clamping device forces processing companies to frequently change equipment or adjust clamping structures when dealing with different types of aluminum strips, increasing production time and operating costs, and potentially leading to decreased processing accuracy due to improper clamping methods, or even safety accidents caused by unstable clamping. Therefore, this paper proposes a clamping device for aluminum strip processing to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping device for aluminum strip processing to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, thereby solving the technical problem that existing clamping devices can only clamp one type of aluminum strip.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A clamping device for aluminum strip processing includes a support plate, and a first clamping mechanism for clamping solid aluminum strips is provided at the bottom of the support plate. The first clamping mechanism includes a left clamping part and a right clamping part that can move closer to or further away from each other.
[0007] The top of the support plate is equipped with a lifting plate that can move up and down. The lifting plate is equipped with a second clamping mechanism. After the lifting plate moves downward to move the lower end of the second clamping mechanism into the interior of the hollow aluminum strip, the second clamping mechanism can cooperate with the first clamping mechanism to clamp the hollow aluminum strip.
[0008] Furthermore, the support plate is formed with a through hole through which the actuator end of the lower part of the second clamping mechanism passes.
[0009] Furthermore, the top of the support plate is provided with several vertically arranged fixed rods, and the lifting plate is slidably mounted on the fixed rods; the support plate is equipped with vertically arranged electric push rods, and the telescopic rod end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the lifting plate through a connecting rod.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a support rod, with a rotating shaft arranged horizontally at the bottom of the support rod, a support frame mounted on the rotating shaft, a rotating ring rotatably mounted inside the support frame, and the axis of rotation of the rotating ring being arranged vertically; a support plate is placed inside the rotating ring and fixed thereto.
[0011] Furthermore, the support rod is equipped with a first servo motor, and the output shaft of the first servo motor is connected to the rotating shaft through a bevel gear module transmission; the support frame is equipped with a second servo motor, and the top of the rotating ring is provided with a toothed ring coaxially arranged therewith, and the output shaft of the second servo motor is provided with a drive gear that meshes with the toothed ring.
[0012] Furthermore, the right clamping part includes a movable block and a clamping block installed on the movable block. The bottom of the support plate is formed with a first sliding groove, and the top of the movable block is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove. A first magnetic attractor is installed on the side of the movable block near the through hole. The support plate is provided with a first mounting block, and a first electromagnet that generates attraction to the first magnetic attractor when energized is installed on the first mounting block. A first spring for applying a force to the movable block in a direction away from the through hole is provided in the first sliding groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the side of the clamping block near the through hole is formed with a clamping groove for accommodating the end of a solid aluminum strip or a hollow aluminum strip.
[0014] Furthermore, the second clamping mechanism includes a support block fixedly mounted on the lifting plate. The support block is provided with a left clamping rod and a right clamping rod that move laterally towards or away from each other. The bottom ends of the left clamping rod and the right clamping rod both extend downward to the bottom of the lifting plate.
[0015] Furthermore, the support block is formed with a pair of second sliding grooves distributed on the left and right. Each second sliding groove is provided with a guide rod whose length direction is parallel to the movement direction of the movable block. The top ends of the left clamping rod and the right clamping rod are slidably set with different guide rods respectively. The top of the lifting plate is equipped with a second electromagnet and a third electromagnet through a second mounting block. The second electromagnet is placed on the side of the left clamping rod away from the right clamping rod, and the third electromagnet is placed on the side of the right clamping rod away from the left clamping rod. The sides of the left and right clamping rods that are away from each other are equipped with second magnetic suction components. A second spring is wound around each guide rod. The force exerted by the second spring on the left clamping rod on the left clamping rod is set opposite to the force exerted by the second spring on the right clamping rod on the right clamping rod.
[0016] Furthermore, anti-friction pads are provided on the sides of the left and right clamping rods that are far apart from each other.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When it is necessary to clamp a solid aluminum strip, the end of the solid aluminum strip is placed between the left clamping part and the right clamping part, and then the two are controlled to move closer to each other to clamp the solid aluminum strip, thereby realizing the clamping process of the solid aluminum strip.
[0018] When clamping hollow aluminum strips, the end of the hollow aluminum strip is placed between the left and right clamping parts. First, the lifting plate is controlled to move downwards, bringing the lower actuator of the second clamping mechanism downwards as well, placing it inside the hollow aluminum strip. Then, the second and first clamping mechanisms operate simultaneously. The second clamping mechanism applies an outward force to the inside of the hollow aluminum strip, while the first clamping mechanism applies an inward force to the outside of the hollow aluminum strip. The two mechanisms work together to clamp the hollow aluminum strip, improving the stability of clamping the hollow aluminum strip. This clamping device can be switched between two clamping states to clamp solid aluminum strips and hollow aluminum strips respectively, meeting diverse production needs. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following is a detailed description of a clamping device for aluminum strip processing according to the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of the clamping device for aluminum strip processing according to this utility model includes a support rod 1 and a support plate 2 mounted on the support rod 1. The bottom of the support plate 2 is provided with a first clamping mechanism 3 for clamping a solid aluminum strip 18. The first clamping mechanism 3 includes a left clamping part 31 and a right clamping part 32 that can move closer to or further away from each other. The support rod 1 is mounted on an aluminum strip processing equipment (not shown in the figure). After the clamping device clamps the aluminum strip, it cooperates with the aluminum strip processing equipment to process it. After placing the end of the solid aluminum strip 18 between the left clamping part 31 and the right clamping part 32, controlling the two to move closer to each other can clamp the solid aluminum strip 18, thereby realizing the clamping processing of the solid aluminum strip 18.
[0028] The aluminum strips are generally divided into two types: solid aluminum strips 18 and hollow aluminum strips 19. Solid aluminum strips 18 can be clamped by the first clamping mechanism 3. However, in order to clamp the hollow aluminum strips 19, the top of the support plate 2 is provided with several vertically arranged fixing rods 4. A lifting plate 5 is slidably provided on the fixing rods 4. The lifting plate 5 is equipped with a second clamping mechanism 6. After the lifting plate 5 moves downward to move the lower execution end of the second clamping mechanism 6 into the interior of the hollow aluminum strip 19, the second clamping mechanism 6 can cooperate with the first clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the hollow aluminum strip 19. The support plate 2 is formed with a through hole 9 for the lower execution end of the second clamping mechanism 6 to pass through. After placing the end of the hollow aluminum strip 19 between the left clamping part 31 and the right clamping part 32, the lifting plate 5 is first controlled to move downwards, so that the lower actuator of the second clamping mechanism 6 moves downwards together, placing it inside the hollow aluminum strip 19. Then, the second clamping mechanism 6 and the first clamping mechanism 3 are operated simultaneously. The second clamping mechanism 6 applies an outward force to the inside of the hollow aluminum strip 19, and the first clamping mechanism 3 applies an inward force to the outside of the hollow aluminum strip 19. The two work together to clamp the hollow aluminum strip 19. The stability of clamping the hollow aluminum strip 19 is improved by the cooperation of the two clamping mechanisms. This clamping device can be switched to two clamping states to clamp solid aluminum strips 18 and hollow aluminum strips 19 respectively, meeting diverse production needs.
[0029] To control the automatic lifting and lowering of the lifting plate 5 on the fixed rod 4, the support plate 2 is equipped with a vertically arranged electric push rod 7. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 5 through a connecting rod 8. The initial state of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 7 is an upward extension. After the electric push rod 7 is operated, its telescopic rod retracts, which can move the lifting plate 5 downward. The lower actuator of the second clamping mechanism 6 passes through the through hole 9 and is placed inside the top of the hollow aluminum strip 19. Simultaneously operating the first clamping mechanism 3 and the second clamping mechanism 6 can clamp the hollow aluminum strip 19, which is convenient for subsequent processing.
[0030] In this embodiment, to adjust the position and state of the solid aluminum strip 18 or hollow aluminum strip 19 to facilitate processing steps and improve processing efficiency, a rotating shaft 10 with a horizontally arranged axis is installed at the bottom of the support rod 1. A support frame 11 is mounted on the rotating shaft 10, and a rotating ring 12 is rotatably mounted inside the support frame 11, with the axis of rotation of the rotating ring 12 arranged vertically. A support plate 2 is placed inside the rotating ring 12 and fixedly mounted thereto. By controlling the rotation of the rotating shaft 10, the support frame 11 rotates around the horizontally arranged axis, causing the rotating ring 12 and the first clamping mechanism 3 mounted on the support plate 2 to rotate together, adjusting the vertically positioned solid aluminum strip 18 or hollow aluminum strip 19 to a horizontal state for easier processing. Furthermore, the rotating ring 12 can also be controlled to rotate inside the support frame 11, causing the solid aluminum strip 18 or hollow aluminum strip 19 to rotate around its center point, achieving a self-rotation effect and adjusting the position of the solid aluminum strip 18 or hollow aluminum strip 19 to be processed.
[0031] To control the rotation of the rotating shaft 10, a first servo motor 13 is installed on the support rod 1, and the output shaft of the first servo motor 13 is connected to the rotating shaft 10 via a bevel gear module 14. The bevel gear module 14 consists of two meshing bevel gears. After the first servo motor 13 is running, the rotating shaft 10 is controlled to rotate under the transmission action of the bevel gear module 14. To control the rotation of the rotating ring 12 within the support frame 11, a second servo motor 15 is installed on the support frame 11. A toothed ring 17 is coaxially arranged on the top of the rotating ring 12, and a drive gear 16 meshing with the toothed ring 17 is provided on the output shaft of the second servo motor 15. After the second servo motor 15 is running, the rotation of the drive gear 16, in conjunction with the toothed ring 17, drives the rotating ring 12 to rotate within the support frame 11.
[0032] like Figure 4As shown, the left clamping part 31 and the right clamping part 32 have the same structure and are arranged in a mirror image. The right clamping part 32 includes a movable block 322 and a clamping block 324 mounted on the movable block 322. The clamping block 324 is used to clamp the solid aluminum strip 18. The bottom of the support plate 2 is formed with a first sliding groove 321, and the top of the movable block 322 is laterally slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 321. In order to control the movement of the movable block 322, a first magnetic suction member 326 is installed on the side of the movable block 322 near the through hole 9. The support plate 2 is provided with a first mounting block 327, and a first electromagnet 328 is installed on the first mounting block 327 to generate a suction force on the first magnetic suction member 326 after being energized. After the first electromagnet 328 is energized, it generates a suction force on the first magnetic suction member 326, causing the movable block 322 to move laterally in the direction of approaching the through hole 9. The solid aluminum strip 18 is placed below the through hole 9, and the clamping blocks 324 on both sides move closer to each other to achieve clamping. When the first electromagnet 328 is de-energized, in order to achieve automatic reset of the movable block 322, a first spring 323 is provided in the first slide groove 321 to apply a force to the movable block 322 in a direction away from the through hole 9. After the movable block 322 moves laterally towards the through hole 9, the first spring 323 is compressed. After the first electromagnet 328 is de-energized, the movable block 322 resets under the action of the compressed first spring 323. A clamping groove 325 is formed on the side of the clamping block 324 near the through hole 9 to accommodate the end of the solid aluminum strip 18 or the hollow aluminum strip 19. The clamping groove 325 limits the clamped end of the solid aluminum strip 18 or the hollow aluminum strip 19 to prevent displacement in subsequent processing steps.
[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the second clamping mechanism 6 includes a support block 61 fixedly mounted on the lifting plate 5. The support block 61 is provided with a left clamping rod 62 and a right clamping rod 63 that move laterally towards or away from each other. The bottom ends of the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 both extend downward to the bottom of the lifting plate 5. When the lifting plate 5 is controlled to move up and down, the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 can move up and down together. When it is necessary to clamp the hollow aluminum strip 19, first place one end of the hollow aluminum strip 19 between the two clamping blocks 324, then control the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 to move downwards until they pass through the through hole 9, and extend the bottom ends of the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 into the inside of the hollow aluminum strip 19. Then, simultaneously operate the first clamping mechanism 3 and the second clamping mechanism 6. While controlling the two clamping blocks 324 to move closer to each other, control the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 to move away from each other, so that the left clamping rod 62 generates a clamping force with the left clamping block 324, and the right clamping rod 63 generates a clamping force with the right clamping block 324, thereby clamping the hollow aluminum strip 19. The clamping method of the first clamping mechanism 3 and the second clamping mechanism 6 improves the stability of the clamping and makes the clamping more secure.
[0034] In this embodiment, the support block 61 is formed with a pair of second sliding grooves 65 distributed on the left and right. Each second sliding groove 65 is provided with a guide rod 66 whose length direction is parallel to the movement direction of the movable block 322. The top ends of the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 are respectively slidably disposed with different guide rods 66. The top of the lifting plate 5 is equipped with a second electromagnet 610 and a third electromagnet 611 through a second mounting block 69. The second electromagnet 610 is placed on the side of the left clamping rod 62 away from the right clamping rod 63, and the third electromagnet 611 is placed on the side of the right clamping rod 63 away from the left clamping rod 62. A second magnetic suction member 68 is installed on the side of the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 that are far away from each other. The second magnetic 68 on the left clamp 62 is aligned with the second electromagnet 610, and the second magnetic 68 on the right clamp 63 is aligned with the third electromagnet 611. When the second electromagnet 610 and the third electromagnet 611 are energized at the same time, they generate attraction forces on the second magnetic 68 on both sides, and the directions of the attraction forces are opposite, thereby controlling the left clamp 62 and the right clamp 63 to move in a direction away from each other.
[0035] Furthermore, after energizing the second electromagnet 610 and the third electromagnet 611 is stopped, in order to reset the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 towards each other, a second spring 67 is wound around each guide rod 66. The second springs 67 on both sides are arranged left and right, with the force exerted by the left second spring 67 on the left clamping rod 62 and the force exerted by the right second spring 67 on the right clamping rod 63 being set opposite to each other. When the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 are controlled to move away from each other, the left second spring 67 and the right second spring 67 are compressed simultaneously. After the attraction stops, the compression of the second spring 67 applies relative forces to the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63, causing the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 to reset towards each other. In addition, anti-friction pads 64 are provided on the sides of the bottom of the left clamping rod 62 and the bottom of the right clamping rod 63 that are far apart from each other. When the hollow aluminum strip 19 is clamped, the left clamping rod 62 and the right clamping rod 63 contact the inner wall of the hollow aluminum strip 19 through the anti-friction pads 64, which increases the friction after clamping and makes the clamping more stable.
[0036] In summary, this utility model possesses the aforementioned excellent characteristics, enabling it to achieve unprecedented efficiency in use and thus become a highly practical product.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
