Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting equipment, and more specifically, to a beveling cutting and forming device. Background Technology
[0002] In the electrolytic aluminum industry, before welding the anode aluminum guide rod and the steel claw beam, a bevel needs to be cut at the welding end of the anode aluminum guide rod to ensure effective welding area and weld strength. When using a welding robot to weld the anode aluminum guide rod and the steel claw beam, the consistency of the bevel size becomes particularly important. However, existing processing equipment cannot guarantee the bevel angle and dimensional accuracy, which often leads to an excessively large bevel size, increasing the amount of welding required, or an insufficiently small bevel size, resulting in compromised weld strength.
[0003] Utility model patent CN222307979U discloses an adjustable inner bevel thinning device, including a clamping mechanism for fixing several round tubes at equal intervals. A transverse movement mechanism is provided on one side of the clamping mechanism, and a thinning mechanism and a grinding mechanism are provided at the output end of the transverse movement mechanism. The transverse movement mechanism drives the thinning and grinding mechanisms to move laterally. The thinning mechanism is used for cutting the inner bevel at the end of the round tubes, and the grinding mechanism is used for grinding the inner bevel. The transverse movement mechanism is fixed to the upper end of a lifting platform. This adjustable inner bevel thinning device fixes multiple round tubes through the clamping mechanism, adjusts the height of the thinning and grinding mechanisms through the lifting platform, and then drives the thinning and grinding mechanisms to move laterally through the transverse movement mechanism, facilitating adjustment of the processing position. This allows for sequential inner bevel cutting and inner bevel grinding of the round tubes, quickly and accurately completing the inner bevel cutting and surface grinding tasks, thus improving production efficiency. However, the structure of this adjustable internal beveling and thinning device is designed for beveling round tubes and is not suitable for beveling square aluminum guide rods that require flipping.

[0014] Based on the above, the beveling cutting forming device further includes a support adjustment mechanism, which is vertically and vertically mounted at the other end of the clamping and rotating mechanism for supporting and leveling the rear of the workpiece.

The beveling mechanism 3 is movably mounted on the frame 1 and located above the end of the workpiece, and is used to cut the side edge of the workpiece to form a bevel.
[0029] In this embodiment, the workpiece specifically refers to aluminum guide rod 4.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, to facilitate the beveling of the aluminum guide rod, the beveling mechanism 3 includes a lifting assembly 11, a lateral movement assembly 12, and a beveling tool assembly 14. The beveling tool assembly 14 includes a cutting blade and a beveling motor 13.

[0031] The lifting component 11 is slidably mounted on the transverse component 12 and is used to drive the beveling tool component 14 to move up and down.
[0032] Specifically, the lifting assembly and the traversing assembly can be selected from commonly used mechanical moving structures, such as lead screws, sliders, electric actuators, cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, etc.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the end processing mechanism 2 includes an end traverse guide rail 9, an end traverse motor 10, an end processing motor 7, and an end processing cutter 24. The end processing cutter 24 is mounted on the end processing motor 7, the end processing motor 7 is slidably disposed on the end traverse guide rail 9, and the end traverse motor 10 is disposed on the end traverse guide rail 9. The end traverse guide rail 9 and the end traverse motor 10 constitute an end movement assembly.
[0034] like Figure 2As shown, in order to stably clamp the aluminum guide rod 4 onto the clamping rotary mechanism 6, the clamping rotary mechanism 6 includes a rotary table 16, an upper clamping assembly 17, a side clamping assembly 20, and a forward / reverse assembly 19. The rotary table 16 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the upper clamping assembly 17, the side clamping assembly 20, and the forward / reverse assembly 19 are respectively mounted on the rotary table 16. The upper clamping assembly 17 and the side clamping assembly 20 constitute the clamping assembly.
[0035] The upper clamping assembly 17 and the side clamping assembly 20 are used to press the aluminum guide rod 4 against the rotary table 16 so that the central axis of the aluminum guide rod 4 coincides with the rotation axis of the rotary table 16. The forward and backward assembly 19 is used to support the aluminum guide rod 4 and drive the aluminum guide rod 4 to move back and forth so that one end of the aluminum guide rod 4 passes through the rotary table 16.
[0036] Specifically, the forward and reverse assembly 19 includes a forward drive motor 18 and a drive roller that is connected to the forward drive motor 18. The drive roller is in frictional engagement with the lower surface of the aluminum guide rod.
[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to level the aluminum guide rod 4 as a whole during clamping and place it in a horizontal clamping state, the support adjustment mechanism 5 includes a lifting support frame 22, a lifting motor 23 that drives the lifting support frame 22 to lift and lower, and a roller 21 rotatably mounted on the top of the lifting support frame 22.

The lifting motor 23 and the roller 21 constitute a workpiece support assembly.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] This embodiment provides a beveling and forming device. The main difference from Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the beveling mechanism can also use a milling cutter disc with a size larger than the diameter of the aluminum guide rod 4. During installation, the milling cutter disc is tilted according to the beveling angle. By moving the end of the aluminum guide rod 4 toward the milling cutter disc, the beveling of the aluminum guide rod 4 is completed.
[0040] The clamping and rotating mechanism can be a tooling such as an industrial robot with clamping and rotating functions.
[0041] Example 3
[0042] This embodiment provides a beveling cutting and forming device. The main difference from Embodiment 1 is that, in order to control the length of the aluminum guide rod extending out of the rotary table, an end positioning component 8 is slidably provided on the end transverse guide rail 9. The end positioning component 8 is used to limit the length of one end of the aluminum guide rod 4 extending out of the clamping rotary mechanism 6.
[0043] Example 4
[0044] This embodiment provides a beveling and forming device. The main difference from Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the beveling processing mechanism 3 further includes a distance measuring device. In this embodiment, a laser rangefinder 15 is selected as the distance measuring device. Specifically, the laser rangefinder 15 is mounted on the beveling and lifting assembly 11 and is used to measure the distance between the beveling cutting tool 14 and the aluminum guide rod 4.
[0045] Example 5
[0046] This embodiment provides a beveling cutting forming device. The main difference from Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate timely cooling of the tool, the end processing mechanism or the beveling processing mechanism is externally connected to a cutting fluid cooling component.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cutting fluid cooling assembly adopts a structure commonly used in the field of machining, typically including a nozzle, a cutting fluid reservoir, a pump, and other structures.
[0048] Specifically, when using the beveling and forming device provided by this utility model to bevele an aluminum guide rod, the specific operation steps are as follows:
[0049] (1) In the initial position, the lifting motor 23 in the support adjustment mechanism drives the roller 21 to the upper limit position, and the aluminum guide rod 4 is hoisted and placed in the clamping and rotating mechanism 6. Then, the drive forward and backward assembly 19 sends the aluminum guide rod 4 to the preset position. The end positioning assembly 8 is used to limit the aluminum guide rod. After it is in place, the upper clamping assembly 17 and the side clamping assembly 20 fix the aluminum guide rod 4, and the workpiece clamping is completed.
[0050] (2) Start the automatic mode. At this time, the end positioning component 8 retracts and the rear roller 21 descends to the lower limit to facilitate the subsequent flipping action of the aluminum guide rod 4.
[0051] (3) The end processing mechanism 2 starts from the working zero point, completes one milling operation, and then returns to the starting origin.
[0052] (4) The laser rangefinder 15 collects the position data of the required aluminum guide rod. After calculating the descent distance according to the preset bevel value, the bevel cutting machine 3 moves down to the calculated position. The bevel cutting tool 14 in the bevel processing mechanism 3 starts to mill a bevel. After completing a bevel cut, it returns to the working zero point.
[0053] (5) When the beveling cutting tool 14 in the beveling mechanism 3 starts running, the cutting fluid cooling assembly starts at the same time. After the beveling cutting tool stops, the cooling and lubrication stops.
[0054] (6) After completing one bevel cut, clamp the rotary mechanism and rotate the rotary support 90°. Repeat steps (4) and (5) to complete the bevel cut of the four sides in sequence.
[0055] (7) After the cutting of the four sides is completed, the beveling mechanism 3 returns to the starting origin, the clamping and rotating mechanism 6 returns to the starting working position, the end processing mechanism 2 returns to the working zero point, the rear support roller 21 rises to the upper limit position, the upper clamping component 17 and the side clamping component 20 in the clamping and rotating mechanism are released, and the cutting process is completed.
[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
