Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal cover plate processing technology, and in particular to a positioning device for metal cover plate processing. Background Technology
[0002] Metal covers are plate-like structures made of metal, primarily used to cover, protect, or decorate specific areas or equipment. Due to their excellent physical properties and wide applicability, metal covers are widely used in many fields. Common application areas include construction, industry, transportation, and electronics.
[0003] In the processing of metal cover plates, clamping and positioning devices are often used. These devices are mainly used to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the metal cover plate processing. For example, when slotting or drilling holes in a metal cover plate, clamping and positioning devices are needed to fix the metal cover plate to prevent it from moving or shaking, thus ensuring the accuracy of subsequent slotting or drilling processing, as follows.
[0004] A search revealed a patent with publication number CN218082331U, which discloses a positioning and clamping device for metal plate manufacturing. The device includes a positioning box, with fixed plates fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the upper surface of the positioning box. A clamping rod slides through the fixed plate, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to one end of each clamping rod. A positioning component is provided on the clamping plate. Rotating plates are rotatably connected to both the left and right sides of the positioning box, and a swinging component connects the rotating plates on the left and right sides. In use, the swinging component is activated according to the length of the plate, causing the rotating plates on both sides to rotate inwards simultaneously. At this time, the clamping rods on the left and right sides will move relative to each other, thereby positioning the plate in the left-right direction using the clamping plates. Then, the positioning component is activated according to the width of the plate, positioning the plate in the front-back direction, thus adapting to positioning plates of different sizes.
[0005] As mentioned above, in the prior art, rectangular and circular metal cover plates are the most common. When clamping and positioning metal cover plates, most clamping and positioning devices are either only applicable to rectangular metal cover plates (with flat clamps) or only applicable to circular metal cover plates (with curved clamps). This results in a limited range of applicability for the clamping and positioning devices. When processing metal cover plates of different shapes, different clamping and positioning devices need to be replaced, which increases the processing cost of metal cover plates. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a positioning device for processing metal cover plates to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model discloses a positioning device for processing metal cover plates. It includes a clamping and positioning mechanism. When processing a rectangular metal cover plate, two first cylinders are activated to extend them. These, in conjunction with two top plates, move two second clamping seats upwards until their bottom height is higher than the top height of the first clamping seats. At this point, the metal cover plate can be placed between two sliding seats. Then, a brake motor is activated, driving a lead screw to rotate. This, in conjunction with two sliding grooves and two sliders, moves the two sliding seats relative to each other until their tops contact the bottom of the metal cover plate, and the two first clamping seats abut tightly against the sides of the metal cover plate. This device allows for quick and convenient clamping and positioning of rectangular metal covers. If the metal cover is circular, the two first cylinders are activated to retract, working in conjunction with the two top plates to move the two second clamping seats down until their bottom contacts the top of the sliding blocks. At this point, the brake motor is activated to move the two sliding blocks relative to each other until the inner walls of the V-grooves of the two second clamping seats are in close contact with the side walls of the metal cover. This allows for quick and convenient clamping and positioning of the metal cover. Therefore, the device is applicable to both rectangular and circular metal covers, greatly expanding its applicability. In summary, this solves the problems in the background technology.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0008] The present invention relates to a positioning device for processing metal cover plates, comprising a processing table, wherein a plurality of support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing table, and two horizontal sliding grooves are provided on the top of the processing table, and two through movable grooves are provided between the two sliding grooves on the top of the processing table.
[0009] A clamping and positioning mechanism includes a slide block, a lead screw, and a brake motor. Two slide blocks are provided, each with its bottom slidably connected to two sliding grooves via multiple sliding connectors. A first clamping seat is fixedly connected to the top of each slide block, and a first cylinder is fixedly mounted on the top of the slide block. A top plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder, and a second clamping seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate. V-grooves are formed on opposite sides of the two second clamping seats, and the distance between opposite sides of the two second clamping seats is less than the distance between opposite sides of the two first clamping seats. The lead screw is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the processing table via two bearing seats. Two threaded portions with opposite thread directions are symmetrically provided on the outside of the lead screw. Two sliders are symmetrically screwed onto the two threaded portions of the lead screw. The tops of the sliders pass through movable grooves and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide block. The brake motor is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the processing table via mounting components, and the output end of the brake motor is connected to the shaft end of the lead screw.
[0010] An auxiliary support mechanism is located on top of the processing table.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of each of the two slides on opposite sides is designed with a sloping shape, and the top of one side of the slide is inclined downwards.
[0012] Furthermore, a first anti-slip pad layer is attached and fixed to the opposite side of each of the two first clamps, and a second rubber pad layer is attached and fixed to the inner wall of the V-groove of each of the two second clamps.
[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of telescopic guide rods are fixedly connected to the top of the slide block, and the telescopic ends of the telescopic guide rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate.
[0014] Furthermore, the initial height of the bottom of the second clamp is higher than the height of the top of the first clamp.
[0015] Furthermore, the auxiliary support mechanism includes a second cylinder and a support plate. The second cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the processing table, and the bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder.
[0016] Furthermore, the support plate is located at the center between the two slides, and the initial height of the top of the support plate is the same as the top height of the slide.
[0017] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
[0018] 1. This technical solution incorporates a clamping and positioning mechanism, which can be adjusted according to actual needs during the processing of metal cover plates. This allows the mechanism to be applied to the clamping, positioning, and fixing of both rectangular and round metal cover plates, thus greatly improving the applicability of the positioning device and making it highly practical.
[0019] 2. This technical solution incorporates an auxiliary support mechanism, allowing the metal cover plate to be placed on top of the mechanism during operation. The clamping and positioning mechanism then clamps and fixes the metal cover plate, facilitating subsequent processing. This eliminates the need for manual handling of the metal cover plate while it is clamped and fixed, effectively preventing accidental injury to workers and thus significantly improving the safety and practicality of the device.

[0026] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "surface", "side", "gap", "peripheral", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1:
[0029] Reference Figures 1-3 A positioning device for processing metal cover plates includes a processing table 1, with multiple support legs fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing table 1, two horizontal sliding grooves 2 on the top of the processing table 1, and two through movable grooves 3 between the two sliding grooves 2 on the top of the processing table 1.
[0030] The clamping and positioning mechanism 4 includes a slide 401, a lead screw 402, and a brake motor 403. Two slides 401 are provided, and the bottoms of both slides 401 are slidably connected to two sliding grooves 2 via multiple sliding connectors. A first clamping seat 404 is fixedly connected to the top of each slide 401, and a first cylinder 405 is fixedly mounted on the top of each slide 401. A top plate 406 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder 405, and a second clamping seat 407 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 406. V-shaped grooves are formed on opposite sides of both second clamping seats 407, and the space between the opposite sides of the two second clamping seats 407 is... The distance is less than the distance between the two first clamps 404 on opposite sides. The lead screw 402 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the processing table 1 through two bearing seats 408. The lead screw 402 has two threaded parts with opposite thread directions symmetrically arranged on its outside. Two sliders 409 are symmetrically screwed to the two threaded parts of the lead screw 402. The top of the sliders 409 passes through the movable groove 3 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide block 401. The brake motor 403 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the processing table 1 through the mounting parts, and the output end of the brake motor 403 is connected to the shaft end of the lead screw 402. The auxiliary support mechanism 5 is located on the top of the processing table 1.
[0031] The top of each of the two slides 401 is designed with a sloping shape on one side, and the top of one side of the slide 401 is inclined downwards; the top of each of the two first clamps 404 is fixedly attached to the opposite side with a first anti-slip pad 410, and the inner wall of the V-shaped groove of each of the two second clamps 407 is fixedly attached to a second rubber pad 411; the top of the slide 401 is fixedly connected with a plurality of telescopic guide rods 412, the telescopic ends of the telescopic guide rods 412 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 406, and the initial height of the bottom of the second clamp 407 is higher than the height of the top of the first clamp 404.
[0032] In the specific implementation process, when processing the metal cover plate, if the metal cover plate is rectangular, the two first cylinders 405 can be activated to extend them. Together with the two top plates 406, this causes the two second clamps 407 to move upwards until their bottom height is higher than the top height of the first clamps 404. At this point, the metal cover plate can be placed between the two slide blocks 401. Then, the brake motor 403 is activated, causing the lead screw 402 to rotate. This, along with the two sliding grooves 2 and the two sliders 409, causes the two slide blocks 401 to move relative to each other until their tops contact the bottom of the metal cover plate, and the two first clamps 404 abut against the sides of the metal cover plate. When the metal cover is tightened, it can be quickly and easily clamped and positioned. If the metal cover is circular, the two first cylinders 405 are activated to retract, which, together with the two top plates 406, drives the two second clamps 407 to move down to their bottom and contact the top of the slide 401. At this time, the brake motor 403 can be activated to drive the two slides 401 to move relative to each other until the inner walls of the V-grooves of the two second clamps 407 are in contact with the side walls of the metal cover. This allows for quick and easy clamping and positioning of the metal cover. As a result, the device can be used for both rectangular and circular metal covers, thus greatly improving the applicability of the positioning device.
[0033] The top of each of the two slides 401 on opposite sides is designed with a sloping shape, and the top of one side of the slide 401 is tilted downward so that when the two slides 401 move relative to each other, their bottoms can better connect with the bottom of the metal cover plate to form support.
[0034] The first anti-slip pad 410 can increase the friction between the first clamp 404 and the metal cover plate, and the second anti-slip pad can increase the friction between the second clamp 407 and the metal cover plate, thereby improving the clamping, positioning and fixing effect.
[0035] Among them, the telescopic guide rod 412 can improve the overall stability of the top plate 406;
[0036] The initial height of the bottom of the second clamp 407 is higher than the top height of the first clamp 404 so that the second clamp 407 will not hinder the normal operation of the first clamp 404 when it is not working. Specific Implementation Example 2:
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the auxiliary support mechanism 5 includes a second cylinder 501 and a support plate 502. The second cylinder 501 is fixedly installed on the top of the processing table 1, and the bottom of the support plate 502 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder 501.
[0039] The support plate 502 is located at the center between the two slides 401, and the initial height of the top of the support plate 502 is the same as the top height of the slides 401.
[0040] In the specific implementation process, during operation, the metal cover plate can be placed on top of the support plate 502. Then, the brake motor 403 is started, driving the lead screw 402 to rotate. In conjunction with the two sliding grooves 2 and the two sliders 409, the two sliding blocks 401 are moved relative to each other until the top of the two sliding blocks 401 contacts the bottom of the metal cover plate and forms a support for the metal cover plate. In conjunction with the first clamp 404 or the second clamp 407, the metal cover plate is clamped and fixed. At this time, the second cylinder 501 can be started to retract, driving the support plate 502 to move down to a suitable height for processing the metal cover plate. In the above process, there is no need for manual holding of the metal cover plate while waiting for it to be clamped and fixed, which effectively avoids the clamping and positioning mechanism 4 from accidentally injuring the staff, thereby effectively improving the safety of the device.
[0041] The support plate 502 is located at the center between the two slides 401 to facilitate the placement of the metal cover between the two slides 401 by the staff. The initial height of the top of the support plate 502 is the same as the top height of the slides 401 to facilitate the docking of the slides 401 with the bottom of the metal cover placed on the top of the support plate 502.
[0042] Working principle: When processing the metal cover plate, if the metal cover plate is rectangular, the two first cylinders 405 can be activated to extend them. Together with the two top plates 406, this causes the two second clamping seats 407 to move upwards until their bottom height is higher than the top height of the first clamping seat 404. At this point, the metal cover plate can be placed between the two sliding seats 401. Then, the brake motor 403 is activated, causing the lead screw 402 to rotate. This, along with the two sliding grooves 2 and the two sliders 409, causes the two sliding seats 401 to move relative to each other until their tops contact the bottom of the metal cover plate, and the two first clamping seats 404 abut tightly against the sides of the metal cover plate. This device can quickly and easily clamp and fix rectangular metal covers. If the metal cover is circular, the two first cylinders 405 are activated to retract, which, together with the two top plates 406, moves the two second clamps 407 down to their bottom and contact the top of the slide 401. At this time, the brake motor 403 is activated to move the two slides 401 relative to each other until the inner walls of the V-grooves of the two second clamps 407 are in contact with the side walls of the metal cover. This allows for quick and easy clamping and fixing of the metal cover. As a result, the device can be used for both rectangular and circular metal covers, thus greatly improving the applicability of the positioning device.
[0043] During operation, the metal cover plate can be placed on top of the support plate 502. Then, the brake motor 403 is started, driving the lead screw 402 to rotate. In conjunction with the two sliding grooves 2 and the two sliders 409, the two sliding blocks 401 move relative to each other until the top of the two sliding blocks 401 contacts the bottom of the metal cover plate and forms a support for the metal cover plate. In conjunction with the first clamp 404 or the second clamp 407, the metal cover plate is clamped and fixed. At this time, the second cylinder 501 can be started to retract, driving the support plate 502 to move down to a suitable height for processing the metal cover plate. In the above process, there is no need for manual holding of the metal cover plate while waiting for it to be clamped and fixed, which effectively avoids accidental injury to the staff by the clamping and positioning mechanism 4, thereby effectively improving the safety of the device.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
