Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining equipment, specifically to a grooving device for aluminum single panels. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum single-layer panels are widely used in many fields such as architectural decoration and advertising production due to their advantages such as light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, easy processing and shaping, and beautiful appearance. In the processing of aluminum single-layer panels, grooving is a key process. By cutting grooves of a certain depth at designated locations on the aluminum sheet, it is possible to facilitate bending, reduce splicing gaps, improve aesthetics, and meet the needs of complex shapes.

[0003] However, existing aluminum panel grooving devices on the market generally use simple mechanical clamps to position the aluminum panels. While this positioning method is relatively direct, the positioning effect is poor. In actual processing, because the force between the mechanical clamp and the aluminum panel is singular, excessive clamping force can easily damage the aluminum panel, while insufficient clamping force can cause slight displacement of the aluminum panel under the cutting force of the planer, resulting in grooving position deviation. This seriously affects the processing accuracy of the product, making the processed aluminum panels unable to meet installation requirements, leading to subsequent installation difficulties, and even requiring rework, increasing production costs and time. Therefore, this application proposes an aluminum panel grooving device. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an aluminum panel grooving device to solve the technical problem that the existing grooving equipment has poor positioning effect on aluminum panels.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an aluminum single-panel grooving device, including a processing table, a frame is provided on the top of the processing table, a planer assembly is mounted on the frame, a workpiece positioning component is provided on one side of the upper surface of the processing table, and multiple sets of the workpiece positioning component are provided along the length direction of the processing table. The workpiece positioning component includes a positioning arm that is vertically fixed to the upper surface of the machining table. A second electric push rod is installed on the side of the top of the positioning arm facing the middle of the machining table. The second electric push rod is arranged vertically, and the telescopic end of the second electric push rod is downward and vertically connected to a pressure rod. A suction cup is assembled at the bottom end of the pressure rod.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that a connecting plate is provided at the top of the pressure rod, and the connecting plate is bolted to the telescopic end of the second electric push rod.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the suction cup is made of rubber and has a funnel-shaped structure with the opening facing downwards. The present invention is further configured such that a boss is provided at the top of the suction cup, a central hole is provided on the boss, the central hole is connected to the internal space of the suction cup, the bottom end of the pressure rod extends into the suction cup through the central hole, and a pressure block is connected to one end of the pressure rod extending into the suction cup.

[0008] The present invention is further provided that the protrusion is also provided with a vent hole, which is also connected to the internal space of the suction cup. Multiple vent holes are provided and distributed around the central hole. A rubber pad is provided on the lower surface of the connecting plate, and the bottom end face of the rubber pad is larger than the top end face of the protrusion.

[0009] The present invention is further provided that the side of the positioning arm facing the center of the processing table is provided with a rubber pillow strip.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the frame includes a pair of vertical arms fixed to the top of the processing table, the pair of vertical arms being distributed at both ends of the processing table facing the workpiece positioning component, a longitudinal arm being horizontally fixed at the top of the vertical arms facing the middle of the processing table, the longitudinal arms being distributed along the width direction of the processing table, a first electric slide rail being installed at the top of each pair of longitudinal arms, a first slider being slidably mounted on the first electric slide rail, a transverse arm being horizontally fixed between the pair of first sliders, the transverse arm being distributed along the length direction of the processing table, a second electric slide rail being installed at the top of the transverse arm, a second slider being slidably mounted on the second electric slide rail, a first electric push rod being vertically mounted on the second slider, the telescopic end of the first electric push rod being vertically downward, a planer assembly being mounted on the telescopic end of the first electric push rod, and the planer assembly being composed of a housing, a planer blade, and a drive motor, and a guide rod being vertically slidably passed through the second slider, the guide rod being connected to the housing in the planer assembly.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that an extension arm is fixed at the end of the processing table corresponding to the position of the vertical arm, a connecting bar arm is horizontally provided at the bottom end of the vertical arm, the connecting bar arm is bolted to the extension arm and the processing table, a second reinforcing plate is fixed between the upper surface of the connecting bar arm and the side wall of the vertical arm, and a first reinforcing plate is fixed between the side wall of the vertical arm and the lower surface of the longitudinal arm, and the first reinforcing plate and the second reinforcing plate are configured as a triangular structure.

[0012] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: This invention achieves rapid and effective positioning of aluminum panels by setting multiple sets of workpiece positioning components. The rubber pads on the positioning arms provide initial positioning for the aluminum panels while preventing edge wear. A second electric push rod pushes the pressure rod downwards, causing the suction cup to expel internal air during downward expansion, creating a vacuum environment for vacuum adsorption positioning of the aluminum panel. Furthermore, when the pressure rod presses down, the pressure block directly presses onto the aluminum panel, forming a dual fixing method of suction cup vacuum adsorption and direct pressure block pressing. This dual fixing method greatly improves the stability of the aluminum panel during grooving, effectively preventing displacement when subjected to planer cutting force, thereby improving grooving accuracy, ensuring that the processed aluminum panels meet high-precision installation requirements, reducing rework due to processing errors, and lowering production costs.

[0013] In this invention, the suction cup is made of rubber and has a downward-opening, trumpet-shaped structure. This design allows the suction cup to expand downwards better under downward pressure, ensuring a tight fit with the aluminum panel surface and enhancing the adsorption effect. Simultaneously, a central hole and multiple surrounding ventilation holes are provided on the protrusion at the top of the suction cup. The rubber pad on the lower surface of the connecting plate simultaneously seals multiple ventilation holes when the pressure rod is pressed down, ensuring the rapid formation of a vacuum environment. After the grooving is completed, the connecting plate moves the rubber pad away from the protrusion, allowing air inside and outside the suction cup to quickly flow and balance through the ventilation holes. This eliminates the suction force exerted by the suction cup on the aluminum panel, allowing the pressure block to move upwards and detach from the aluminum panel. The operation is convenient and quick, improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0017] A grooving device for aluminum single panels, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a processing table 1, a frame 2, a planer unit 3, and multiple sets of workpiece positioning parts 4. The bottom sides of the processing table 1 are provided with pillow seats 6, and the bottom side wall of the pillow seat 6 is provided with mounting strips 7. Mounting holes are opened on the mounting strips 7 for mounting and fixing the processing table 1. The upper surface of the processing table 1 is set as a horizontal smooth surface for horizontal placement of aluminum single panels for grooving processing.

[0018] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the workpiece positioning component 4 is disposed on one side of the top of the processing table 1, and multiple sets of workpiece positioning components 4 are arranged along the length of the processing table 1. Each set of workpiece positioning components 4 includes a positioning arm 20 vertically fixed to the upper surface of the processing table 1. A connecting base plate 24 is disposed on the side of the bottom end of the positioning arm 20 away from the middle of the processing table 1, and the connecting base plate 24 is bolted to the processing table 1. A rubber pillow strip 25 is disposed on the side of the positioning arm 20 facing the middle of the processing table 1. After the aluminum single panel is placed on the processing table 1, one side of the aluminum single panel abuts against the rubber pillow strip 25, which plays a preliminary positioning role and can prevent wear on the side of the aluminum single panel. A second electric push rod 21 is installed on the side of the top of the positioning arm 20 facing the middle of the processing table 1. The second electric push rod 21 is arranged vertically, and the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 21 is downward and vertically connected to a pressure rod 22. A connecting plate 30 is disposed at the top of the pressure rod 22, and the connecting plate 30 is bolted to the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 21 for easy disassembly and maintenance. The bottom of the pressure rod 22 is equipped with a suction cup 23. The suction cup 23 is made of rubber and is designed as a funnel-shaped structure with the opening facing downward. When subjected to downward pressure, the suction cup 23 can expand downward to adsorb the aluminum panel.

[0019] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a boss 26 is provided at the top of the suction cup 23, and a central hole 27 is provided on the boss 26. The central hole 27 communicates with the internal space of the suction cup 23. The bottom end of the pressure rod 22 extends into the suction cup 23 through the central hole 27, and one end of the pressure rod 22 extending into the suction cup 23 is connected to a pressure block 29. Multiple vent holes 28 are also provided on the boss 26, which also communicate with the internal space of the suction cup 23, and the multiple vent holes 28 are distributed around the central hole 27. A rubber pad 31 is provided on the lower surface of the connecting plate 30. The bottom surface of the rubber pad 31 is larger than the top surface of the boss 26. After the pressure rod 22 is pressed down, the connecting plate 30 pushes the rubber pad 31 down to simultaneously block the multiple vent holes 28.

[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the frame 2 is positioned on top of the processing table 1. Specifically, the frame 2 includes a pair of vertical arms 8, distributed at both ends of the processing table 1 facing the workpiece positioning component 4. An extension arm 5 is fixed to the end of the processing table 1 at a position corresponding to the vertical arm 8. A connecting arm 18 is horizontally positioned at the bottom of each vertical arm 8, and the connecting arm 18 is connected to the extension arm 5 and the processing table 1 by bolts, achieving a stable fixation between the frame 2 and the processing table 1. A longitudinal arm 9 is horizontally fixed at the top of the vertical arm 8 facing the middle of the processing table 1, and the longitudinal arms 9 are distributed along the width direction of the processing table 1. A first reinforcing plate 17 is fixed between the side wall of the vertical arm 8 and the lower surface of the longitudinal arm 9, and a second reinforcing plate 19 is fixed between the upper surface of the connecting arm 18 and the side wall of the vertical arm 8. Both the first reinforcing plate 17 and the second reinforcing plate 19 are configured as triangular structures, effectively enhancing the structural strength and stability of the frame 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, a first electric slide rail 10 is mounted on the top of each pair of longitudinal arms 9, and a first slider 11 is slidably mounted on the first electric slide rail 10. A transverse arm 12 is horizontally fixed between the pair of first sliders 11, and the transverse arm 12 is distributed along the length of the processing table 1. A second electric slide rail 13 is mounted on the top of the transverse arm 12, and a second slider 14 is slidably mounted on the second electric slide rail 13. A first electric push rod 15 is vertically mounted on the second slider 14, with the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 15 pointing vertically downwards. The planer unit 3 is mounted on the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 15. The planer unit 3 consists of a housing, a planer blade, and a drive motor. The drive motor drives the planer blade to rotate, realizing the grooving processing of the aluminum single panel. In addition, a guide rod 16 is vertically slidably mounted on the second slider 14. The guide rod 16 is connected to the housing in the planer unit 3, and the guide rod 16 plays a guiding role to ensure the stability of the planer unit 3 during the lifting process.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model: During processing, the aluminum panel to be slotted is placed horizontally on the processing table 1. The position of the aluminum panel is adjusted so that one side of the aluminum panel abuts against the rubber pad 25 on the positioning arm 20 of the multi-set workpiece positioning components 4, thus initially positioning the aluminum panel. Then, the second electric push rod 21 in the multi-set workpiece positioning components 4 is activated, which pushes the pressure rod 22 downward. At this time, the suction cup 23 falls freely. After the bottom of the suction cup 23 abuts against the aluminum panel, the pressure rod 22 continues to fall. During this process, the connecting plate 30 and the rubber pad 31 push the boss 26, causing the rubber pad 31 to abut against the boss 26, sealing the vent 28, and simultaneously applying downward pressure to the suction cup 23. Since the suction cup 23 has a trumpet-shaped structure, it expands during the downward pressing process, expelling internal air, thereby creating a vacuum environment between the suction cup 23 and the aluminum panel, achieving vacuum adsorption positioning of the aluminum panel. Simultaneously, the pressure rod 22 presses down, pressing the pressure block 29 onto the aluminum panel. The dual fixing method—vacuum adsorption by the suction cup 23 and direct pressing by the pressure block 29—ensures the aluminum panel remains stable during the grooving process and prevents movement. Next, the drive motor in the planer unit 3 rotates the planer blade. The first electric slide rail 10 and the second electric slide rail 13 control the longitudinal and transverse positions of the planer unit 3, respectively, to position the planer blade on the aluminum panel. Then, the first electric push rod 15 controls the raising and lowering of the planer unit 3, bringing the planer blade into contact with the aluminum panel to complete the grooving process.

[0023] After grooving is completed, the second electric push rod 21 is controlled to move the pressure rod 22 upward, causing the pressure block 29 to detach from the aluminum panel. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 30 moves the rubber pad 31 away from the boss 26. At this point, the air inside and outside the suction cup 23 is balanced through the vent hole 28, and the suction cup 23 no longer exerts suction on the aluminum panel. As the pressure block 29 moves upward, it can also move the suction cup 23 upward, detaching it from the aluminum panel, allowing the operator to easily pick up the processed aluminum panel.
