Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of profile processing equipment, specifically an automatic placement mechanism for extruded copper alloy profiles. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production process of copper alloy profiles, extrusion molding is a key manufacturing step. After extrusion, the profiles need to be quickly transferred and placed in an orderly manner in a cooling area or designated workstation for subsequent cooling and processing. Currently, the industry mostly uses manual handling or simple conveyor belts to process the extruded copper alloy profiles. Manual handling has several drawbacks. First, the freshly extruded copper alloy profiles are very hot, posing a serious safety hazard as operators are highly susceptible to burns during handling. Second, manual placement is inefficient, significantly limiting the overall production cycle and failing to meet the demands of large-scale, high-efficiency production. When using simple conveyor belts, the profiles are easily rubbed against the conveyor components during transport and placement due to the lack of effective fixing and protection measures, resulting in scratches, wear, and other quality problems, reducing product yield and increasing production costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an automated, reliable, and high-quality automatic placement mechanism for extruded copper alloy profiles to address the numerous problems in existing technologies. This paper proposes such an automated placement mechanism for extruded copper alloy profiles. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic placement mechanism for extruded copper alloy profiles in order to solve the above problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is provided: an automatic placement mechanism for extruded copper alloy profiles, characterized in that: it includes a frame perpendicularly arranged to the extruder production line, a feeding device arranged on the frame, a receiving device arranged on both sides of the feeding device and slidably connected to the frame, a limiting device on the same axis as the extruder production line, and a controller electrically connected to the feeding device and the receiving device; the receiving device includes sliders arranged on both sides of the feeding device and slidably connected to the frame, a transverse driver arranged on the frame and connected to the sliders for pushing the sliders to move along the length direction of the frame, a longitudinal driver arranged at the bottom of the sliders for lifting motion, a support plate connected to the piston rod on the longitudinal driver, and a slide rod arranged inside the sliders and connected at one end to the support plate.

[0005] Preferably, the feeding device includes at least two conveying units movably arranged along the length of the frame, a drive motor for driving the conveying units, a connecting rod connecting multiple conveying units in series and connected to the frame, a driven wheel at one end of the connecting rod, a driving wheel connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and a belt connecting the driven wheel and the driving wheel.

[0006] Preferably, the transmission unit includes a ring chain, at least one gear meshing with the chain and connected to a connecting rod, and several detachable support blocks evenly spaced on the chain.

[0007] Preferably, the pallet and the bearing block are provided with contoured grooves that match the cross-sectional shape of the profile.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting device includes a bracket connected to the frame and a baffle disposed on the bracket.

[0009] Preferably, the inner surface of the contoured groove and the working surface of the baffle are both covered with an antistatic rubber layer.

[0010] Preferably, the baffle is provided with a photoelectric sensor that is electrically connected to the controller for sensing the arrival of material on the baffle and triggering the operation of the transverse and longitudinal drives.

[0011] Preferably, photoelectric sensors are also provided on both sides of the frame at the initial and final ends, which are electrically connected to the controller to detect the material status on the corresponding bearing block or pallet and trigger the drive motor to work.

[0012] Preferably, the frame is provided with a groove adapted to the slider and a through hole through which the connecting rod can pass.

[0013] Preferably, the through hole is provided with a bushing adapted to the connecting rod.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting up the receiving device, the receiving, conveying and transfer of profiles can be completed efficiently and stably. In coordination with the feeding device, limiting device and other devices, the entire post-extrusion processing flow of profiles is made continuous and orderly, reducing production interruptions caused by manual intervention or poor equipment connection, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the production line and improving production efficiency. The design of the detachable support block makes it easy to quickly change according to different specifications and shapes of profiles, which greatly enhances the adaptability of the feeding device to a variety of profiles. By simply changing the corresponding support block and pallet according to actual production needs, the processing of different profiles can be quickly switched. The operation is simple and quick, and it has strong versatility and flexibility. The contoured groove can perfectly fit the cross-sectional shape of the profile, providing stable and reliable support for the profile during transportation and placement, effectively restricting the movement of the profile, preventing it from rolling or shifting, and avoiding unnecessary friction between the profile surface and the load-bearing components, thereby protecting the surface quality of the profile in all aspects and significantly improving the product yield. By setting up the baffle, the baffle is on the same axis as the extruder production line. After the profile is extruded and formed, it is pushed to the baffle. The baffle can accurately stop the profile from moving forward and stop it at the specified position. This provides the necessary conditions for the receiving device to accurately receive the profile, ensuring that the profile can reach the fixed position every time. This allows the receiving operation to be carried out smoothly and stably, avoiding problems such as receiving failure or profile falling due to profile position deviation, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the entire automatic placement process. The anti-static rubber layer effectively prevents static electricity from being generated during contact with the profile, avoiding damage to the profile surface caused by static electricity. Moreover, its soft texture can play a good buffering role when the profile comes into contact with the pallet and baffle, further reducing the damage to the profile surface caused by collision and friction, and providing more comprehensive protection for the profile surface quality.

[0020] Participation Figure 1-6 As shown in this embodiment, an automatic placement mechanism for extruded copper alloy profiles is characterized by: a frame 1 perpendicularly arranged to the extruder production line, a feeding device 2 mounted on the frame 1, receiving devices 3 mounted on both sides of the feeding device 2 and slidably connected to the frame 1, a limiting device 4 on the same axis as the extruder production line, and a controller 5 electrically connected to the feeding device 2 and the receiving device 3; the receiving device 3 includes sliders 31 mounted on both sides of the feeding device 2 and slidably connected to the frame 1, a transverse driver 32 mounted on the frame 1 and connected to the sliders 31 for pushing the sliders 31 to move along the length of the frame 1, a longitudinal driver 33 mounted at the bottom of the sliders 31 for lifting motion, a support plate 34 bolted to the piston rod on the longitudinal driver 33, and a sliding rod 35 mounted inside the sliders 31 and connected at one end to the support plate 34; during operation, when the profile is conveyed to the limiting device... After step 4, the receiving device 3 responds quickly. The transverse driver 32 pushes the slider 31, causing it to slide along the length of the frame 1, moving the pallet 34 below the profile. Then, the longitudinal driver 33 drives the pallet 34 upward to accurately receive the profile. After the receiving device 3 receives the profile, the transverse driver 32 starts again, pulling the slider 31 to move. When the receiving device 3 transfers the profile to the designated position above the feeding device 2, the piston rod on the longitudinal driver 33 retracts, causing the pallet 34 to descend below the feeding device 2, smoothly transferring the profile onto the feeding device 2. Through the setting of the receiving device 3, the receiving, conveying and transferring of the profile is completed efficiently and stably. It works in coordination with the feeding device 2, the limiting device 4, etc., to make the entire post-extrusion processing flow of the profile continuous and orderly, reducing production interruptions caused by manual intervention or poor equipment connection, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the production line, and improving production efficiency.

[0021] In one embodiment, the feeding device 2 includes at least two conveying units 21 movably arranged along the length of the frame 1, a drive motor 22 driving the conveying units 21, a connecting rod 23 connected to the frame 1 and connected to multiple conveying units 21 in series, a driven wheel 24 disposed at one end of the connecting rod 23, a driving wheel 25 connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 22, and a belt 26 connecting the driven wheel 24 and the driving wheel 25; the conveying unit 21 includes an annular chain 211, at least one gear 212 meshing with the chain 211 and connected to the connecting rod 23, and several detachable bearing blocks 213 connected to the chain 211 at equal intervals by bolts; during operation, the drive motor 22 starts, and the output shaft of the drive motor 22 drives the driving wheel 25. When wheel 25 rotates, the driving wheel 25 drives the driven wheel 24 to rotate via belt 26. The driven wheel 24 drives the gears 212 on multiple transmission units 21 connected to the connecting rod 23 to rotate via connecting rod 23. Under the meshing action of gear 212 and chain 211, the ring chain 211 moves in a cycle, driving the carrier block 213 to move, thereby realizing the continuous and stable conveying of profiles. The design of detachable carrier block 213 makes it easy to quickly change according to different specifications and shapes of profiles, greatly enhancing the adaptability of the feeding device 2 to various profiles. By simply changing the corresponding carrier block 213 and pallet 34 according to actual production needs, the processing of different profiles can be quickly switched. The operation is simple and quick, and it has strong versatility and flexibility.

[0022] In one embodiment, the pallet 34 and the support block 213 are provided with contoured grooves 341 that match the cross-sectional shape of the profile. The contoured grooves 341 can perfectly fit the cross-sectional shape of the profile, providing stable and reliable support for the profile during the conveying and placement process, effectively restricting the movement of the profile, preventing it from rolling or shifting, avoiding unnecessary friction between the profile surface and the support components, thereby protecting the surface quality of the profile in all aspects and significantly improving the product yield.

[0023] In one embodiment, the limiting device 4 includes a bracket 41 connected to the frame 1 and a baffle 42 disposed on the bracket 41. With the baffle 42 disposed on the same axis as the extruder production line, when the profile is extruded and pushed to the baffle 42, the baffle 42 can accurately block the profile from moving forward and stop it at the specified position. This provides the necessary conditions for the receiving device 3 to accurately receive the profile, ensuring that the profile can reach the fixed position each time. This allows the receiving operation to be carried out smoothly and stably, avoiding problems such as receiving failure or profile falling due to profile position deviation, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the entire automatic placement process.

[0024] In one embodiment, the inner surface of the contoured groove 341 and the working surface of the baffle 42 are both covered with an antistatic rubber layer. The antistatic rubber layer can effectively prevent the profile from generating static electricity during contact, avoiding damage to the profile surface caused by static electricity. Moreover, its soft texture can play a good buffering role when the profile comes into contact with the support plate 34 and the baffle 42, further reducing the damage to the profile surface caused by collision and friction, and providing more comprehensive protection for the profile surface quality.

[0025] In one embodiment, the baffle 42 is provided with a photoelectric sensor 6 electrically connected to the controller 5 for sensing the arrival of material at the baffle 42 and triggering the operation of the transverse driver 32 and the longitudinal driver 33. When the profile is conveyed to the baffle 42 and blocks the light of the photoelectric sensor 6, the photoelectric sensor 6 will quickly transmit the signal to the controller 5. After receiving the signal, the controller 5 will immediately issue a control command to control the transverse driver 32 and the longitudinal driver 33 to operate, so that the receiving device 3 can receive the profile in a timely and accurate manner, thereby realizing an automated operation process.

[0026] In one embodiment, photoelectric sensors 6 are also provided on both sides of the frame 1 at the initial and final ends, and are electrically connected to the controller 5 to detect the material status on the corresponding bearing block 213 and trigger the drive motor 22 to operate. During operation, the controller 5 uses the photoelectric sensors 6 to monitor the material status of the bearing block 213 in real time and accurately: when material is detected on the initial bearing block 213, the controller 5 controls the drive motor 22 to start, transporting the empty bearing block 213 to the initial end to prepare for receiving the profile from the receiving device 3; when profile is detected on the final bearing block 213, the controller 5 controls the drive motor 22 to stop, so that the operator can transfer the profile on the bearing block 213 to the next process or the designated placement area, thereby ensuring that the entire automatic placement process proceeds in an orderly manner.

[0027] In one embodiment, the frame 1 is provided with a groove 11 adapted to the slider 31 and a through hole 12 through which the connecting rod 23 can pass; the through hole 12 is provided with a bushing 7 adapted to the connecting rod 23; the groove 11 plays a precise guiding and limiting role for the movement of the slider 31. When the slider moves, it is restricted within the groove 11, ensuring that the slider 31 can slide smoothly and steadily along the predetermined direction, improving the stability and reliability of the receiving device 3, and ensuring that the receiving process is completed smoothly.

[0028] In one embodiment, the limiting device 4 is not connected to the extrusion production line, and the production line after the extruder is segmented. After being lifted by the pallet 34, the profile can be lifted and transferred to the feeding device 2 through the gap between the limiting device 4 and the extrusion production line and the gap between the segmented production line.

[0029] When using this utility model, the automatic placement mechanism after the profile is extruded is first installed at the discharge end of the extruder production line according to the design requirements, ensuring that the frame 1 is set vertically to the extruder production line and the limiting device 4 is on the same axis as the extruder, thus laying the foundation for the normal operation of subsequent components. During operation, after the profile is extruded from the extruder, it moves directly towards the limiting device 4. When the profile reaches the limiting device 4 and contacts the baffle 42, blocking the light from the photoelectric sensor 6 on the baffle 42, the photoelectric sensor 6 quickly transmits a signal to the controller 5. After receiving the signal, the controller 5 issues a command to start the transverse drive 32. The piston rod on the transverse drive 32 pushes the slider 31 to slide in the groove 11 of the frame 1, moving the support plate 34 on the slider 31 directly below the profile. Subsequently, the controller 5 controls the longitudinal drive 33 to start, and the piston rod of the longitudinal drive 33 extends, driving the support plate 34 to lift steadily upward, firmly lifting the profile. After the profile is lifted by the receiving device 3, the controller 5 controls the transverse drive 32 to reverse its action, moving the support plate 34 along the groove 11 until it moves above the bearing block 213 at the initial end of the feeding device 2. At this time, the controller 5 controls the piston rod of the longitudinal drive 33 to retract, and the support plate 34 slowly descends. When the material descends below the support block 213 of the feeding device 2, it accurately transfers the profile from the tray 34 of the receiving device 3 to the support block 213 of the feeding device 2. The photoelectric sensor 6, located at the initial end of the frame 1, monitors the material status on the support block 213 at the initial end in real time. When it detects that a profile has been placed on the support block 213, it transmits a signal to the controller 5. The controller 5 starts the drive motor 22 according to the preset program. The drive motor 22 drives the drive wheel 25 to rotate through the output shaft. The drive wheel 25 drives the driven wheel 24 to rotate through the belt 26. The driven wheel 24, with the help of the connecting rod 23, makes the gears 212 on multiple conveying units 21 rotate synchronously, so that the ring chain 211 circulates under the meshing action of the gears 212. When the photoelectric sensor 6 detects the profile on the support block 213 at the end, the controller 5 controls the drive motor 22 to stop, so that the operator can transfer the profile on the support block 213 to the next process or the designated placement area, ensuring that the entire automatic placement process is carried out in an orderly manner.

[0030] After a profile transfer and placement is completed, if the limit device 4 detects that another profile has arrived, i.e., the photoelectric sensor 6 on the baffle 42 is triggered again, the above process is repeated to achieve continuous and automated placement of the profile after extrusion. If a company needs to produce copper alloy profiles of different specifications and shapes, it only needs to disassemble the bearing block 213 and the support plate 34, replace them with bearing blocks 213 and support plates 34 that match the cross-sectional shape of the new profile, and make simple adjustments to the relevant parameters of the controller 5 to continue the automatic placement work. The operation is convenient and quick, and can quickly adapt to the diverse production needs of the company.

[0031] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
