Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary devices for the production of aluminum alloy trough-type cable trays, specifically a positioning mechanism for the production of aluminum alloy trough-type cable trays. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum alloy cable trays are a type of support structure used for cable wiring. Made primarily of aluminum alloy, they feature a trough-type (enclosed) design and are widely used in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure sectors. Aluminum alloy cable trays offer excellent corrosion resistance, reducing damage and safety hazards caused by corrosion, lowering maintenance costs and replacement frequency. Furthermore, they can be matched with various architectural styles, enhancing the overall aesthetics, making them particularly suitable for commercial and public buildings where appearance is paramount. However, during the processing of aluminum alloy cable trays, it is difficult to secure the trays being processed, significantly reducing the device's efficiency and accuracy.
[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the prior art (Chinese patent application number 201922121195.6, application date 2019-12-02) provides a positioning platform for the production and processing of ladder-type large-span cable trays. This platform includes a fixed trough horizontally mounted on a base, supported by support columns. The bottom of the fixed trough has a negative pressure through-hole, and a negative pressure generator located at the bottom of the fixed trough is installed in conjunction with this through-hole. The negative pressure through-hole can maintain a negative pressure state through the suction of the negative pressure generator. A through cavity is formed through the bottom of the fixed trough, and an elastic ejector mechanism is installed within the through cavity. This positioning platform for the production and processing of ladder-type large-span cable trays is used for auxiliary fixing during laser drilling operations for laser drilling of the side plates of ladder-type cable trays, facilitating precise drilling of the side plates by the laser drilling equipment. It has a simple structure and is easy to use.
[0004] During the processing of aluminum alloy cable trays, steps such as cutting, drilling, and welding require precise positioning. Fixing the tray ensures it remains in the designed position throughout the process, preventing dimensional deviations due to positional changes. For example, if the tray is not securely fixed and shifts during drilling, the drilled hole will deviate from the expected position, affecting the assembly accuracy with other components. Furthermore, the aforementioned device cannot secure the aluminum alloy cable tray during use, leading to misalignment during processing. This reduces the fit accuracy of the cable tray and affects the installation and use of the entire cable tray system. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning mechanism for the production of aluminum alloy cable trays, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the aluminum alloy cable trays cannot be fixed, resulting in the offset of the aluminum alloy cable trays during processing, which reduces the fitting accuracy of the aluminum alloy cable trays and affects the installation and use of the entire cable tray system.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a positioning mechanism for the production of aluminum alloy cable trays, comprising a frame, a control console fixedly connected to the lower right end of the frame, a protective plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame, a workbench fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective plate, and a positioning plate fixedly connected to the outer side of the protective plate; the positioning plates are symmetrically distributed about the center of the protective plate, and anti-slip strips are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the positioning plates, with the anti-slip strips evenly spaced on the upper surface of the protective plate, while a limit rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective plate; a clamping plate is slidably connected to the limit rod, and the clamping plate is slidably disposed on the upper surface of the workbench, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective plate, while a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate; a splash guard is slidably connected to the sliding rod.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping plates are symmetrically distributed about the center of the worktable, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the clamping plates.
[0010] The above structural design, through the setting of clamping plates, improves the working accuracy of the device, while ensuring the stability of the cable tray position during processing, guaranteeing the dimensional and shape accuracy of the welded cable tray, and reducing the scrap rate.
[0011] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, and the support frame is rotatably disposed inside the protective plate. One end of a connecting rod is sleeved and connected to the surface of the support frame, while the other end of the connecting rod is sleeved and connected to the fixing block.
[0012] The above structural design, through the setting of support frames and fixing blocks, avoids shaking during the operation of the device, improves the sliding accuracy of the clamping plate, and ensures that the cable tray always stays in the accurate position.
[0013] Preferably, a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the frame, and a drive shaft is rotatably installed inside the fixed plate, and belts are sleeved and connected to both the surface of the drive shaft and the surface of the rotating shaft.
[0014] The above structural design, through the installation of a drive shaft and a fixing plate, improves the working efficiency of the device, reduces vibration and noise interference during equipment operation, and ensures the stability of equipment operation.
[0015] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly connected to the lower rear end of the frame, and a movable shaft is rotatably arranged inside the baffle, and belts are sleeved and connected to both the surface of the movable shaft and the surface of the transmission shaft.
[0016] The above structural design, through the installation of baffles and moving shafts, makes the entire device more compact, which not only facilitates the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the equipment, but also improves the adaptability of the device to diverse production tasks, thereby increasing work efficiency.
[0017] Preferably, the splash guard is threaded onto the surface of the movable shaft, and the splash guard is symmetrically distributed about the center of the frame.
[0018] The above structural design, through the installation of splash guards, not only confines splashes within a certain range, ensuring a safe and clean production environment, but also reduces the interference of splashes on the processing.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The positioning mechanism for the production of aluminum alloy cable trays adopts a novel structural design, which not only ensures the stability of the cable tray position during processing and ensures that the cable tray always remains in the accurate position, but also guarantees the dimensional and shape accuracy of the welded cable tray, ensuring that the processed dimensions meet the design requirements.

[0023] Furthermore, the splash guard is in a retracted state when not in use, which does not occupy extra space, making the overall structure of the equipment more compact, which is conducive to optimizing the overall production layout of the workshop and improving space utilization.
[0024] (3) The positioning mechanism used in the production of aluminum alloy cable trays can block dust by setting protective plates and limit rods, reduce the risk of sensor detection accuracy decline due to dust accumulation, extend equipment service life, and make positioning more accurate, thereby improving the processing accuracy of aluminum alloy cable trays.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Example 1: The protective plate 13, workbench 3, and anti-slip strips 5 improve the stability of the device during operation and prevent misalignment during the processing of aluminum alloy cable trays. Figures 1-2As shown: It includes a frame 1, a control console 2 fixedly connected to the lower right side of the frame 1, a protective plate 13 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame 1, a workbench 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective plate 13, a positioning plate 4 fixedly connected to the outer side of the protective plate 13, the positioning plates 4 are symmetrically distributed about the center of the protective plate 13, and anti-slip strips 5 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the positioning plate 4, and the anti-slip strips 5 are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the protective plate 13. At the same time, a limit rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective plate 13, and a clamping plate 10 is slidably connected through the limit rod 12. The clamping plate 10 is slidably set on the upper surface of the workbench 3. A connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective plate 13, and a sliding rod 19 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate 20. A splash guard 18 is slidably connected through the sliding rod 19.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the worker places the aluminum alloy cable tray to be processed onto the upper surface of the workbench 3 via a conveyor device, ensuring that both sides of the cable tray are in contact with the positioning plate 4. Simultaneously, the anti-slip strips 5 on the positioning plate 4 increase the friction with the cable tray, initially preventing the cable tray from sliding on the workbench 3 and ensuring that the cable tray remains in the accurate position, thus improving processing precision. At this point, the worker adjusts the parameters of the clamping plate 10 via the control console 2, ensuring that the clamping plate 10 can firmly fix the aluminum alloy cable tray. Figure 2 The worker starts the motor 6, which fixes the clamping plate 10 to the aluminum alloy cable tray on the upper end of the workbench 3, allowing the worker to perform subsequent processing on the aluminum alloy cable tray, such as... Figure 1 The anti-slip strips 5 shown significantly increase the friction between the positioning plate 4 and the aluminum alloy cable tray, ensuring that the material always maintains an accurate position on the positioning plate 4, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of subsequent processing. Furthermore, the anti-slip strips 5 are evenly distributed on the positioning plate 4, ensuring stability regardless of the direction of the force applied to the material, thanks to the friction provided by the anti-slip strips 5. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective plate 13 can effectively block these flying objects from flying towards the operator's location, and can block most of the debris within the processing area, preventing debris from flying onto the operator and causing scratches or other injuries. At the same time, it can prevent the operator from accidentally touching the debris, reduce the probability of safety accidents, and improve the protection of the workers.
[0035] In Example 2, unlike Example 1, the clamping plate 10, fixing block 11, and support frame 8 are used to ensure the dimensional and shape accuracy of the welded cable tray, reducing the scrap rate. Figures 3-4As shown: A motor 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1, and a rotating shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 6. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably disposed inside the protective plate 13. The clamping plates 10 are symmetrically distributed about the center of the worktable 3, and a fixing block 11 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the clamping plates 10. A support frame 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 7, and the support frame 8 is rotatably disposed inside the protective plate 13. One end of the connecting rod 9 is sleeved and connected to the surface of the support frame 8, and the other end of the connecting rod 9 is sleeved and connected to the fixing block 11.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, when the motor 6 is working, it drives the output shaft 7 to rotate inside the protective plate 13, and as the shaft 7 rotates, it drives the surface support frame 8 to rotate inside the protective plate 13. Figure 3 As shown, the rotation of the support frame 8 drives the connecting rod 9 on the surface to rotate, causing the fixing block 11 at the other end of the connecting rod 9 to drive the clamping plate 10 at the upper end to slide on the surface of the limiting rod 12. Figure 4 As shown, the clamping plate 10 is attached to the upper end of the worktable 3, thereby fixing the aluminum alloy channel cable tray at the upper end of the worktable 3. This not only greatly improves the processing accuracy, but also prevents it from shifting and shaking due to external forces during processing, ensuring the stability of the cable tray position during processing, and ensuring that the cable tray always maintains a stable position when performing multiple welding processes. Each weld can accurately connect the corresponding components, greatly reducing the possibility of scrap due to inaccurate welding position, thereby reducing processing errors and scrap caused by unstable position.
[0037] In Example 3, unlike Example 2, the use of a fixed plate 15, a splash guard 18, and a baffle 16 extends the equipment's lifespan, reduces maintenance costs and downtime, and ensures production continuity. Figures 5-6 As shown: A fixed plate 15 is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the frame 1, and a drive shaft 14 is rotatably installed inside the fixed plate 15. Belts are sleeved and connected to both the surface of the drive shaft 14 and the surface of the rotating shaft 7. A baffle 16 is fixedly connected to the lower rear side of the frame 1, and a moving shaft 17 is rotatably installed inside the baffle 16. Belts are sleeved and connected to both the surface of the moving shaft 17 and the surface of the drive shaft 14. A splash guard 18 is threadedly connected to the surface of the moving shaft 17, and the splash guards 18 are symmetrically distributed about the center of the frame 1.
[0038] As the rotating shaft 7 rotates inside the protective plate 13, Figure 2 As shown, belts are connected to both the surface of the rotating shaft 7 and the surface of the transmission shaft 14. Through belt drive, the rotating shaft 7 drives the transmission shaft 14 to rotate inside the fixed plate 15 during operation. Figure 5 As shown, belts are connected to both the surface of the drive shaft 14 and the surface of the moving shaft 17. Belt drive causes the drive shaft 14 to rotate within the baffle 16 during operation. Figure 5 As shown, a splash guard 18 is threadedly connected to the moving shaft 17. As the moving shaft 17 rotates, the splash guard 18 slides on the surface of the sliding rod 19. Figure 6 As shown, the splash guard 18 extends from the rear side of the frame 1, which not only limits the splashes to a certain range, ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the production environment, but also reduces the interference of splashes on the processing process, ensuring that the processing dimensions meet the design requirements.
