Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of aluminum rod processing equipment, and in particular relates to a multi-station automatic aluminum rod cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum bars, as an important industrial raw material, are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronics, building decoration and many other fields due to their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and machinability. In these applications, aluminum bars often need to be cut into different lengths according to specific production requirements. Therefore, the efficiency and precision of the aluminum bar cutting process play a crucial role in the subsequent processing quality and production progress.

[0003] While common multi-station cutting equipment on the market can process multiple aluminum bars simultaneously, it has significant drawbacks in the station switching process. Traditional switching mechanisms often use gear meshing or chain transmission, which are not only complex in structure but also prone to insufficient positioning accuracy during switching, resulting in large deviations in the cutting length of the aluminum bars. In addition, the fixing mechanisms of existing equipment are mostly fixed, with a fixed clamping space that can only accommodate aluminum bars of a specific diameter. When cutting aluminum bars of different diameters, the corresponding clamping components must be replaced, which is not only cumbersome to operate and consumes a lot of changeover time, but also seriously affects production efficiency.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a multi-station automatic aluminum bar cutting machine. Utility Model Content

The switching mechanism includes a mounting plate, both sides of which are fixedly connected to the frame. A first motor is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, and a turntable is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. A pin is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the turntable, and a locking disc is provided on one side of the pin. The bottom of the locking disc is fixedly connected to the turntable, and one side of the locking disc is slidably connected to... The device has a grooved wheel with a switching disc fixedly connected to its top. The surface of the switching disc is rotatably connected to the frame via bearings. Two support frames are fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the frame. These support frames provide stable support for the frame, enhance the load-bearing capacity and anti-overturning properties of the overall structure, and prevent the equipment from shaking due to vibration or uneven force during operation. The surface of the grooved wheel has five slots arranged in an array on the top of the wheel, so that each slot corresponds to a workstation. This ensures that the workstations can be switched precisely and orderly when the pin drives the grooved wheel to rotate.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a slide rod is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the lower clamp, and the surface of the slide rod is slidably connected to the upper clamp, and the slide rod can provide precise positioning and guidance for the upper clamp.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a limiting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the frame, the surface of the limiting rod is slidably connected to the protective shell, and there are two limiting rods, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the protective shell, thereby restricting the movement of the protective shell.

[0012] The present invention is further provided with a limiting plate on the top of the protective shell, and the inner side of the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the limiting rod.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the switching mechanism drives the turntable to rotate via a first motor. The switching of work positions is achieved by using the pins on the turntable to cooperate with the grooved wheel. This eliminates the need for complex gear sets or chain structures, resulting in a simpler overall structure and easier installation and maintenance. This effectively reduces the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the equipment. After the grooved wheel is switched, the locking disc can tightly fit the grooved wheel and firmly lock its position. This avoids the insufficient positioning accuracy caused by transmission gaps in traditional gear meshing or chain drives, making the position of the aluminum rod more precise after the work position is switched. This ensures the consistency of the aluminum rod cutting length and significantly improves the cutting quality.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the fixing mechanism is achieved by sliding the upper clamp and the lower clamp together, and adjusting the distance between them with the lead screw. When dealing with aluminum bars of different diameters, simply rotating the lead screw can change the clamping space between the upper clamp and the lower clamp without replacing the clamp parts. This effectively solves the problem of cumbersome changeover in traditional equipment, greatly saves changeover time, and significantly improves production efficiency. Furthermore, the bolt connection between the lead screw and the upper clamp allows for easy adjustment of the upper clamp position by rotating the lead screw, making operation simple and convenient without the need for multiple tools.

The cylinder 401 pushes the push rod 402, which drives the protective shell 403 to move. The protective shell 403 drives the second motor 404, which in turn drives the cutting blade 405 to rotate. The moving cutting blade 405 moves down and cuts the aluminum rod. After the cutting is completed, the first motor 202 starts and drives the turntable 203 to rotate. The turntable 203 drives the pin 204 to drive the grooved wheel 206 to rotate through the slot. The grooved wheel 206 drives the switching plate 207 to rotate. The switching plate 207 drives the upper clamp 302, the lower clamp 301 and the uncut aluminum rod to rotate and switch. The cutting blade 405 continues to cut the aluminum rod on the second fixed mechanism 3. During the cutting process, the operator can replace the cut aluminum rod to ensure the continuity of the cutting.
