Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of aluminum profile processing technology, specifically a flipping device for aluminum profile production. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum profiles can be used to produce aluminum alloy doors and windows, frames and structural components for various mechanical equipment. During the production process, holes or grooves may be machined on the surface of the aluminum profiles according to design requirements. These holes or grooves are obtained through drilling or milling. During processing, the aluminum profile is first placed on the loading table of the processing equipment and clamped in place by a clamping mechanism. Then, the processing mechanism is controlled to move along the length of the aluminum profile, and drilling or milling is performed at the corresponding positions on the profile.

[0003] Since the locations of holes or grooves to be machined during actual production may be distributed on different sides of the aluminum profile, after machining one side, the aluminum profile needs to be flipped so that the surface to be machined is facing upwards. Current technologies mostly rely on manual flipping for aluminum profiles, lacking automated flipping equipment suitable for long, narrow aluminum profiles. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a turning device for aluminum profile production to solve the technical problem of the lack of automated turning equipment suitable for long strip aluminum profiles in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a turning device for aluminum profile production, which is installed on the inlet and outlet sides of an aluminum profile processing equipment. The upper surface of the loading platform of the aluminum profile processing equipment is provided with a clearance groove. The turning device for aluminum profile production includes: The conveying assembly extends at one end into the clearance groove of the loading platform and at the other end into the outside of the processing equipment; A first lifting component is used to drive the conveying component to lift; the conveying component has a first state in which its own conveying height is higher than the upper surface of the loading platform, and a second state in which its own conveying height is lower than the upper surface of the loading platform. A flipping assembly includes a clamping mechanism and a flipping mechanism. The clamping mechanism is located on one side of the conveying assembly and is used to clamp and release aluminum profiles. The flipping mechanism is drively connected to the clamping mechanism and is used to drive the clamping mechanism to rotate along a horizontal axis parallel to the aluminum profile. The second lifting component is used to drive the clamping mechanism to rise and fall. The clamping mechanism has a third state where it is lower than the conveying height of the conveying component, and a fourth state where it is level with the conveying height of the conveying component.

[0006] In one possible implementation, two conveying assemblies are spaced apart along the length of the aluminum profile, and the flipping assembly is located between the two conveying assemblies.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the conveying component includes: A fixed base frame has a vertical guide groove, and the first lifting component is disposed on the fixed base frame; A conveying bracket is slidably disposed on the guide groove, and the first lifting assembly is connected to the conveying bracket; and The conveying unit is horizontally mounted on the conveying support along the material feeding and discharging direction of the aluminum profile processing equipment.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the conveying unit is a belt conveyor or chain conveyor that is horizontally arranged along the feeding and discharging direction of the aluminum profile processing equipment.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the first lifting assembly is one of an electric lift, a hydraulic lifting cylinder, and a pneumatic lift.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the clamping mechanism includes: The clamping bracket, wherein the flipping mechanism is throttle-connected to the clamping bracket; Two clamping plates are disposed vertically opposite each other on the clamping bracket, forming an accommodating space for the aluminum profile between the two clamping plates; and A clamping drive unit is used to drive the two clamping plates closer to or further apart from each other.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the flipping mechanism is used to drive the clamping bracket to rotate between 0 and 180 degrees.

[0012] In one possible implementation, a rubber elastic layer is provided on one side of each of the two clamping plates that form the accommodating space of the aluminum profile.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the flipping mechanism is a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the clamping mechanism via a transmission connection.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the second lifting component is one of an electric lift, a hydraulic lifting cylinder, and a pneumatic lift.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the flipping device for aluminum profile production provided in this application are: The aluminum profile turning device provided in this application includes a conveying assembly, a first lifting assembly, a turning assembly, and a second lifting assembly. The first lifting assembly is used to adjust the height of the conveying assembly, and the second lifting assembly is used to adjust the height of the turning assembly. When the aluminum profile needs to be turned, the first lifting assembly first controls the conveying assembly to rise from the clearance groove of the loading platform, lifting the aluminum profile on the loading platform. Then, the conveying assembly moves the aluminum profile from above the loading platform to the position of the clamping mechanism, and the conveying assembly pauses. After the clamping mechanism clamps the aluminum profile, the turning mechanism drives the clamping mechanism and the aluminum profile to rotate together by 90 degrees or 180 degrees to turn the aluminum profile so that the surface to be processed is facing upwards. After the aluminum profile is turned, the clamping mechanism is controlled to release the aluminum profile, and the conveying assembly continues to operate until the aluminum profile reaches a position where it does not interfere with the clamping mechanism. The second lifting assembly then controls the clamping mechanism to descend to a height lower than that of the conveying assembly. The conveying assembly reverses its rotation, transporting the flipped aluminum profile back to the top of the loading platform. The first lifting assembly controls the conveying assembly to descend, allowing the aluminum profile to fall back onto the loading platform for subsequent processing.

[0016] This application realizes the automatic loading, unloading and flipping operation of aluminum profiles through a conveying component, a first lifting component, a flipping component and a second lifting component. Compared with the manual flipping method, the automation level of aluminum profile processing is improved, which helps to reduce labor costs. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0024] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 The following describes the flipping device for aluminum profile production provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0025] This application provides a tilting device for aluminum profile production, which is installed on the inlet and outlet sides of an aluminum profile processing equipment 50. An obstacle clearance groove is provided on the upper surface of the loading platform 51 of the aluminum profile processing equipment 50. The tilting device for aluminum profile production includes a conveying assembly 10, a first lifting assembly 20, a tilting assembly 30, and a second lifting assembly 40.

[0026] The conveying assembly 10 extends at one end into the clearance groove of the loading platform 51 and at the other end to the outside of the processing equipment; the first lifting assembly 20 is used to drive the conveying assembly 10 to lift; the conveying assembly 10 has a first state in which its own conveying height is higher than the upper surface of the loading platform 51, and a second state in which its own conveying height is lower than the upper surface of the loading platform 51; the flipping assembly 30 includes a clamping mechanism 31 and a flipping mechanism 32, the clamping mechanism 31 is located on one side of the conveying assembly 10, and the clamping mechanism 31 is used to clamp and release the aluminum profile 60; the flipping mechanism 32 is drivenly connected to the clamping mechanism 31, and the flipping mechanism 32 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 31 to rotate along a horizontal axis parallel to the aluminum profile 60; the second lifting assembly 40 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 31 to lift; the clamping mechanism 31 has a third state in which it is lower than the conveying height of the conveying assembly 10, and a fourth state in which it is level with the conveying height of the conveying assembly 10.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the aluminum profile production turning device provided in this application embodiment are: The aluminum profile production flipping device provided in this application embodiment includes a conveying assembly 10, a first lifting assembly 20, a flipping assembly 30, and a second lifting assembly 40. The first lifting assembly 20 is used to adjust the height of the conveying assembly 10, and the second lifting assembly 40 is used to adjust the height of the flipping assembly 30. When it is necessary to flip the aluminum profile 60, the first lifting assembly 20 first controls the conveying assembly 10 to rise from the clearance groove of the loading platform 51, lifting the aluminum profile 60 on the loading platform 51. Then, the conveying assembly 10 moves to transfer the aluminum profile 60 from above the loading platform 51 to the position of the clamping mechanism 31, and the conveying assembly 10 pauses. After the clamping mechanism 31 clamps the aluminum profile 60, the flipping mechanism 32 drives the clamping mechanism 31 and the aluminum profile 60 to rotate together by 90 degrees or 180 degrees, flipping the aluminum profile 60 so that the surface to be processed faces upward. After the aluminum profile 60 is flipped, the clamping mechanism 31 releases the aluminum profile 60, and the conveying assembly 10 continues to operate, bringing the aluminum profile 60 to a position where it does not interfere with the clamping mechanism 31. The second lifting assembly 40 then controls the clamping mechanism 31 to descend to a height lower than the conveying assembly 10. The conveying assembly 10 then reverses its rotation, transporting the flipped aluminum profile 60 back to the loading platform 51. The first lifting assembly then controls the conveying assembly 10 to descend, allowing the aluminum profile 60 to fall back onto the loading platform 51 for subsequent processing.

[0028] In this embodiment, the automatic loading, unloading, and flipping of aluminum profile 60 is achieved through the conveying component 10, the first lifting component 20, the flipping component 30, and the second lifting component 40. Compared with the manual flipping method, the automation level of aluminum profile 60 processing is improved, which helps to reduce labor costs.

[0029] It is understandable that when the conveying component 10, the first lifting component 20, the tilting component 30 and the second lifting component 40 are working, the working status of the above components can be controlled by the PLC program. At the same time, existing sensors such as limit switches and position sensors can be used to detect parameters such as the horizontal position of the aluminum profile 60, the height of the conveying component 10, the height of the tilting component 30, the lifting height of the first lifting component 20 and the lifting height of the second lifting component 40.

[0030] Using PLC programs to automate the control of mechanical equipment is a standard practice in this field, and its specific working principle will not be elaborated further. All the sensors mentioned above used to detect the position and working status of components can be readily selected from existing, mature products on the market, without restrictions on their specific specifications, models, or usage methods.

[0031] The aluminum profile production turning device provided in this application requires a power supply during operation. When a pneumatic or hydraulic drive structure is used, it also needs to be connected to an air source or hydraulic pump station. Specific connection methods for pneumatic or hydraulic drives will not be described in detail, as those skilled in the art will understand and implement them.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 When the aluminum profile 60 is long, in order to prevent the aluminum profile 60 from tilting, two or more conveying components 10 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the aluminum profile 60, and at least one tilting component 30 is arranged between every two conveying components 10. The first lifting component 20 can drive multiple conveying components 10 to lift and lower simultaneously, and the second lifting component 40 can drive multiple tilting components 30 to lift and lower simultaneously.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The conveying assembly 10 includes a fixed base frame 11, a conveying support frame 12, and a conveying unit 13. The fixed base frame 11 and the conveying support frame 12 can be made of materials such as carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy, as long as they have sufficient structural strength.

[0034] The fixed base frame 11 has a vertical guide groove, and the first lifting assembly 20 is mounted on the fixed base frame 11. The conveying bracket 12 is slidably mounted on the guide groove, and the first lifting assembly 20 is connected to the conveying bracket 12. The conveying unit 13 is horizontally mounted on the conveying bracket 12 along the feeding and discharging direction of the aluminum profile processing equipment 50. The aluminum profile processing equipment 50 has a processing mechanism 52 that can move along the length of the aluminum profile, a loading platform 51 for supporting the aluminum profile, and a clamp for clamping and fixing the aluminum profile. The aluminum profile processing equipment 50 is existing equipment, and its specific structure and usage will not be described in detail.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The conveying unit 13 is a belt conveyor or chain conveyor horizontally arranged along the feeding and discharging direction of the aluminum profile processing equipment 50. Both the belt conveyor and chain conveyor can be existing products on the market, without restrictions on their specific specifications or models.

[0036] The first lifting assembly 20 and the second lifting assembly 40 can be one of an electric lifting platform, a hydraulic lifting cylinder, and a pneumatic lifting platform, and one or more can be designed as needed. The lifting stroke of the first lifting assembly 20 is 0-100mm, and the lifting stroke of the second lifting assembly is 0-500mm. The clamping mechanism 31 can clamp aluminum profiles with a width of 50-200mm.

[0037] Please see Figure 4 The clamping mechanism 31 includes a clamping bracket 311 for fixing the parts, two clamping plates 312 mounted on the clamping bracket 311, and a clamping drive unit 313. A flipping mechanism 32 is kinetically connected to the clamping bracket 311; the two clamping plates 312 are positioned vertically opposite each other on the clamping bracket 311, forming an accommodating space for the aluminum profile 60 between them; the clamping drive unit 313 drives the two clamping plates 312 to move closer or further apart. The clamping drive unit 313 can be a motor or a pneumatic push rod, etc., capable of controlling the movement of the clamping plates 312 to clamp or release the aluminum profile 60.

[0038] Optionally, the clamping plate 312 and the clamping bracket 311 can be slidably connected or rotatably connected. The flipping mechanism 32 is used to drive the clamping bracket 311 to rotate between 0 and 180 degrees. The flipping mechanism 32 is a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the clamping mechanism 31 for transmission.

[0039] Because aluminum alloy is relatively soft, in order to avoid the clamping plates 312 causing indentations on the surface of the aluminum profile 60, the two clamping plates 312 are respectively provided with rubber elastic layers 3121 on one side of the aluminum profile 60 to form the accommodating space.

[0040] It is understood that the parts in the above embodiments can be freely combined or deleted to form different combined embodiments. The specific contents of each combined embodiment will not be repeated here. After this description, it can be considered that the present utility model specification has recorded each combined embodiment and can support different combined embodiments.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
