Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum plate surface treatment technology, and in particular to an aluminum plate surface grinding and processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum sheets are flat, rectangular metal plates made primarily of aluminum or aluminum alloys through processes such as rolling, casting, or extrusion. They are commonly used in various engineering and construction fields. Surface finishing of aluminum sheets can improve surface smoothness and precision. Some aluminum sheets require a gradient of light and shadow on their surface. However, achieving a fine gradient effect on aluminum sheets is quite difficult, and some traditional processing methods are inefficient. For example, the traditional manual grinding method involves first roughly grinding the entire surface of the aluminum sheet (matte finish), and then finely grinding specific areas of the surface with fine sandpaper or a polishing wheel (bright finish) to create the gradient effect. This type of grinding method is generally suitable for small-batch customization, but it is inefficient for large-scale production and cannot meet the diverse surface effects required by modern designs.

[0018] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, the aluminum plate surface grinding equipment in this embodiment includes a processing platform 1, a frame 2, a special grinding head, and a CNC system 3.
[0019] The machining platform 1 is mounted on the frame 2. Bosses 4 are located on both sides of the machining platform 1 along the Y-axis direction on the frame 2. A first Y-axis linear module 5 and a second Y-axis linear module 6 are respectively mounted on the two bosses 4. A crossbeam 7 is located above the machining platform 1 along the X-axis direction. The bottom ends of the crossbeam 7 are respectively mounted on the first Y-axis linear module 5 and the second Y-axis linear module 6. An X-axis linear module 8 is mounted on the crossbeam 7. A Z-axis linear module 9 is mounted on the X-axis linear module 8. A vertically arranged grinding spindle 10 is mounted on the Z-axis linear module 9. A dedicated grinding head is mounted on the grinding spindle 10. A CNC system 3 is mounted on one side of the frame 2, used for writing and executing CNC programs and controlling the movement of the dedicated grinding head.
[0020] In use, this invention involves fixing the aluminum plate onto the processing platform 1 to ensure its stability; selecting a suitable dedicated grinding head based on the aluminum plate material and the desired surface light and shadow gradient effect; writing a CNC program to set the motion trajectory, speed, and depth parameters of the dedicated grinding head to achieve a specific light and shadow gradient effect; the first Y-axis linear module 5 and the second Y-axis linear module 6 can drive the crossbeam 7 to move along the Y-axis direction, the X-axis linear module 8 can drive the Z-axis linear module 9 to move along the X-axis direction, and the Z-axis linear module 9 can drive the grinding spindle 10 to move along the Z-axis direction, thereby enabling the dedicated grinding head to move in the X, Y, and Z-axis directions. The CNC system 3 is used to write and execute CNC programs. It controls the movement trajectory, speed, and depth of the dedicated grinding head by controlling the operation of the first Y-axis linear module 5, the second Y-axis linear module 6, the X-axis linear module 8, and the Z-axis linear module 9. The dedicated grinding head grinds the surface of the aluminum plate. After grinding, the processed areas with low surface roughness exhibit specular reflection, resulting in a bright reflective effect, while the processed areas with high surface roughness exhibit diffuse reflection, resulting in a soft scattering effect. By adjusting the processing parameters of the dedicated grinding head, the roughness changes smoothly, creating a visual transition between light and dark to achieve a specific light and shadow gradient effect on the aluminum plate surface. After grinding, the aluminum plate undergoes quality inspection and then enters post-processing equipment such as cleaning equipment and protective coating equipment for subsequent processing.
[0021] Specifically, the boss 4 has a mounting groove 41 along the Y-axis direction. Several supporting square tubes 42 are fixedly connected between the inner sidewalls of the mounting groove 41, which can ensure the structural stability of the boss 4 and reduce material usage and cost.

The output shaft of the first servo motor 30 is connected to the lead screw of the Y-axis lead screw and nut pair 20. A Y-axis nut seat is installed on the nut of the Y-axis lead screw and nut pair 20. The Y-axis linear guide rail 40 is mounted on the boss 4 along the Y-axis direction on both sides of the mounting groove 41. The Y-axis slide block 50 is fixedly connected to the Y-axis nut seat and the slider of the Y-axis linear guide rail 40. The bottom of both ends of the crossbeam 7 is provided with mounting seats 71 that are fixedly connected to the Y-axis slide block 50. The first servo motor 30 drives the Y-axis lead screw and nut assembly 20 to work. The nut of the Y-axis lead screw and nut assembly 20 moves along the lead screw axis, thereby driving the Y-axis slide 50 to move.
[0022] The X-axis linear module 8 includes an X-axis lead screw and nut assembly 81, a second servo motor 82, an X-axis linear guide rail 83, and an X-axis slide 84.

The output shaft of the second servo motor 82 is connected to the lead screw of the X-axis lead screw and nut assembly 81. An X-axis nut seat is mounted on the nut of the X-axis lead screw and nut assembly 81. The X-axis linear guide rail 83 is mounted on both sides of the X-axis lead screw and nut assembly 81 along the X-axis direction. The X-axis slide 84 is fixedly connected to the slider of the X-axis nut seat and the X-axis linear guide rail 83. The second servo motor 82 drives the X-axis lead screw and nut assembly 81 to work, and the nut of the X-axis lead screw and nut assembly 81 moves along the lead screw axis, thereby driving the X-axis slide 84 to move.
[0023] The Z-axis linear module 9 includes a Z-axis lead screw and nut assembly 91, a third servo motor 92, a Z-axis linear guide rail 93, and a Z-axis slide 94. The Z-axis lead screw and nut assembly 91 is mounted on the X-axis slide 84 along the Z-axis direction. The output shaft of the third servo motor 92 is connected to the lead screw of the Z-axis lead screw and nut assembly 91. A Z-axis nut seat is mounted on the nut of the Z-axis lead screw and nut assembly 91. The Z-axis linear guide rail 93 is mounted on both sides of the Z-axis lead screw and nut assembly 91 along the Z-axis direction. The Z-axis slide 94 is fixedly connected to the slider of the Z-axis nut seat and the Z-axis linear guide rail 93. The grinding spindle 10 is mounted on the Z-axis slide 94. The third servo motor 92 drives the Z-axis lead screw and nut assembly 91 to work, and the nut of the Z-axis lead screw and nut assembly 91 moves along the lead screw axis, thereby driving the Z-axis slide 94 to move.
[0024] A vertically positioned auxiliary cylinder 60 is mounted on the top of the X-axis slide 84, and the piston rod of the auxiliary cylinder 60 is fixedly connected to the Z-axis slide 94. During the grinding process, since the piston rod of the auxiliary cylinder 60 is connected to the Z-axis slide 94, and the grinding spindle 10 is mounted on the Z-axis slide 94, the auxiliary cylinder 60 can adjust the air pressure to make the special grinding head on the grinding spindle 10 contact the aluminum plate with a set pressure. The greater the downward pressure of the special grinding head, the greater the cutting depth and the rougher the surface of the processed area. Moreover, for the vertically arranged grinding spindle 10, the auxiliary cylinder 60 can balance the weight of the spindle housing, motor and other components through upward thrust, reducing the load on the lead screw, guide rail and other transmission components on the Z-axis linear module 9, reducing wear and extending the mechanical life.
[0025] The CNC system 3 includes a human-machine interface, a CNC device, a servo driver, and a PLC controller. Operators input instructions and parameters, and select machining modes through the human-machine interface. The CNC device includes a processing unit and a storage unit, which decodes, calculates, and processes the input CNC program to generate control instructions. The servo driver receives speed and position control instructions from the CNC device and drives the first servo motor 30, the second servo motor 82, and the third servo motor 92 to rotate, thereby controlling the movement of the linear modules of each coordinate axis on the grinding equipment. The PLC controller controls the start and stop of the grinding equipment, and the forward and reverse rotation of the grinding spindle 10.
[0026] It should be understood that all the above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive.
