Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum profile processing and production equipment, and in particular to a frame feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] On aluminum profile production lines, extruded aluminum profiles undergo cooling, straightening, and length-cutting processes before being neatly stacked into crates for subsequent storage, transportation, or further processing. Traditional crating methods often rely on manual handling or simple mechanical assistance, resulting in high labor intensity, low production efficiency, and easy damage to the profile surface.

[0003] To improve automation levels, some automated framing equipment has emerged in existing technologies. A common approach is to use a fixed conveyor line in conjunction with a robotic arm for gripping and stacking. However, this approach has some inherent drawbacks: First, the robotic arm has a complex structure and high cost, and its cycle time is limited by the movement path and gripping action; for long, strip-shaped aluminum profiles, its stacking efficiency still has room for improvement. Second, when multiple aluminum profiles need to be stacked at specific intervals and in layers within the frame, a single robotic arm needs to use complex path planning to avoid already stacked profiles and the frame sidewalls, resulting in complex control logic and the risk of interference.

The feeding bracket has a connecting end and a material support cantilever. The connecting end is located at one end of the material support cantilever along the Y-axis and is slidably connected to the translation frame along the Y-axis. The transverse drive component is used to drive the feeding bracket to move relative to the translation frame along the Y-axis, so that the material support cantilever extends or retracts relative to the translation frame along the Y-axis.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The framing and feeding device of this utility model is illustrated in the following embodiments: A framing and feeding device includes: a base frame 100, a translation frame 200, and a feeding mechanism 300.

[0024] The translation frame 200 is slidably connected to the base frame 100 in the front-back direction. The base frame 100 is provided with a translation drive component 110, which has a translation drive end that is pulsatorically connected to the translation frame 200 and causes the translation frame 200 to move back and forth relative to the base frame 100. Multiple feeding mechanisms 300 are arranged at intervals along the front-back direction on the upper side of the translation frame 200.

[0025] The feeding mechanism 300 includes a feeding bracket 310 and a transverse drive component 320. The feeding bracket 310 has a connecting end 311 and a material-supporting cantilever 312. The connecting end 311 is located at the right end of the material-supporting cantilever 312. The connecting end 311 is slidably connected to the translation frame 200 in the left-right direction. The transverse drive component 320 has a transverse drive end for driving the feeding bracket 310 to move relative to the translation frame 200 in the left-right direction, so that the material-supporting cantilever 312 extends or retracts to the left in a cantilever form relative to the translation frame 200.

[0026] In practical use, aluminum profiles are conveyed by a conveying device and placed on the framing and feeding device. Multiple feeding mechanisms 300 arranged at intervals are adaptable to the aluminum profile conveying equipment, allowing the aluminum profiles to be transferred to the supporting cantilever 312. The feeding brackets 310 of the multiple feeding mechanisms 300 provide support for different positions of the aluminum profile. A lateral drive component 320 drives the supporting cantilever 312 of the feeding bracket 310 to extend above the profile frame, allowing the aluminum profile material supported on the supporting cantilever 312 to be placed on the profile frame for convenient framing. A translation drive component 110 drives the translation frame 200 to move, allowing each feeding mechanism 300 to translate perpendicular to the extension and retraction direction of the supporting cantilever 312, thereby achieving positioning or placement of the aluminum profile. The framing and feeding device of this application, through multiple arranged feeding mechanisms 300, achieves the support and transfer of aluminum profiles, and can replace dedicated profile lifting tools or robotic arms.

[0027] In this embodiment, the translation frame 200 is in the shape of a cuboid frame. The translation frame 200 has multiple slide rails 210 arranged along the front-back direction and extending along the left-right direction. The heights of the multiple slide rails 210 are the same. The feeding brackets 310 of the multiple feeding mechanisms 300 are slidably installed on the upper side of the slide rails 210 in a corresponding left-right manner. The connecting end 311 of the feeding bracket 310 is slidably connected to the slide rail 210.

[0028] In this embodiment, the translation frame 200 is a square tube welded component. The slide rail 210 is spaced apart from the bottom of the translation frame 200 to allow space for the aluminum profile spacer conveying device to pass through. In actual use, the spacer is conveyed in the front-back direction below the slide rail 210.

[0029] In this embodiment, the translation drive component 110 is a telescopic cylinder arranged in the front-to-back direction. The cylinder body and piston rod of the translation drive component 110 are respectively connected to the base frame 100 and the translation frame 200 for transmission, thereby driving the translation frame 200 to move back and forth relative to the base frame 100 through the telescopic movement of the translation drive component 110. In other embodiments, the translation drive component 110 may also be a linear drive component such as an electric push rod, a hydraulic push rod, or a lead screw and nut drive assembly.

[0030] The feeding bracket 310 of this embodiment includes a feeding plate 313 and two side plates 314. The feeding plate 313 is a long strip extending in the left and right direction to form the feeding cantilever 312. The two side plates 314 are respectively fixed to the front and rear sides of the end of the feeding plate 313 to form the connecting end 311.

[0031] The slide rail 210 has grooves 211 extending in the left-right direction on both its front and rear sides. The material support plate 313 is located above the slide rail 210. Two side plates 314 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the slide rail 210. Each side plate 314 facing the slide rail 210 has a roller 315, which is rolled and embedded in the grooves 211 on the front and rear sides of the slide rail 210. The side plates 314 are connected to the grooves 211 by the rollers, thus realizing the sliding connection between the feeding bracket 310 and the slide rail 210.

[0032] To prevent the feeding bracket 310 from swinging relative to the translation frame 200, each side plate 314 is provided with at least two rollers 315, which are arranged in the left and right direction and are rolled and embedded in the slide groove 211.

[0033] In this embodiment, both the front and rear sides of the end where the material support plate 313 connects to the side plate 314 are provided with left-right extending retaining strips. Each of the two side plates 314 is provided with a retaining groove extending in the left-right direction that matches the retaining strip, and the retaining strip is embedded in the retaining groove. Furthermore, the side plate 314 is provided with a fastening screw, which passes through the side plate 314 and is threadedly connected to the material support plate 313, thereby fixing the side plate 314 and the material support plate 313 together.

[0034] The material support plate 313 has two locking blocks 317 on its upper side, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction. One of the locking blocks 317 is located at the end of the material support plate 313 away from the side plate 314 in the left-right direction. Both locking blocks 317 protrude from the upper side of the material support plate 313 to form a groove on the upper side of the material support plate 313 for placing aluminum profiles. The two locking blocks 317 can restrain the aluminum profiles on the material support plate 313 and prevent them from falling off.

[0035] Furthermore, the material support plate 313 is provided with a spacer support groove 316 on its front or rear side, and the spacer support groove 316 extends in the left-right direction. Specifically, the front side of the material support plate 313 is provided with at least two spacer supports, and the two spacer supports are arranged left-right at intervals. In this embodiment, the spacer supports are formed by bending sheet metal parts, and the spacer supports have a downwardly recessed groove structure. The spacer supports arranged left-right form the spacer support groove 316. In actual use, aluminum profile spacers are placed in the spacer support groove 316, thereby providing support and separation for multiple aluminum profiles extending forward and backward within the profile frame.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lateral movement drive component 320 is disposed between the slide rail 210 and the feeding bracket 310. The lateral movement drive component 320 includes a drive chain 321 and two drive sprockets 322. The two drive sprockets 322 are spaced apart in the left-right direction and are respectively disposed at the left and right ends of the upper side of the slide rail 210. The drive chain 321 is driven around the two drive sprockets 322 and is connected to the feeding bracket 310. When the drive sprockets 322 rotate, they can drive the drive chain 321 to move around a circular path through transmission engagement, thereby driving the feeding bracket 310 to move left and right relative to the translation frame 200.

[0037] To achieve synchronous driving of multiple feeding mechanisms 300, the translation frame 200 in this embodiment is provided with a drive motor 220 and a drive shaft 230. The drive shaft 230 extends in the front-back direction and is rotatably disposed on the translation frame 200 around its axis. The output shaft of the drive motor 220 is drivenly connected to the drive shaft 230. The drive shaft 230 is synchronously driven connected to the transverse driving components 320 of multiple feeding mechanisms 300.

[0038] In this embodiment, the drive motor 220 and the drive shaft 230 are connected by a coupling, and the drive shaft 230 and the drive gear of the lateral drive component 320 are connected by a chain drive. In other embodiments, the drive motor 220 and the drive shaft 230, as well as the drive shaft 230 and the plurality of lateral drive components 320, can be connected by other transmission methods such as belt drive, chain drive, gear drive, or worm gear drive.
