Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mechanical equipment manufacturing industry, and more specifically, to a mechanical equipment capable of cutting edges and flattening aluminum foil. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum foil is a hot stamping material that is directly rolled into thin sheets with metal aluminum. Due to the soft texture, good ductility and silvery-white luster of aluminum, the rolled sheets can be used as automobile chassis or to wrap automobile batteries. At present, aluminum foil is the main raw material for automobile chassis manufacturing. Aluminum foil is mass-produced by automobile stamping workshops. In order to manufacture automobile chassis, many mounting holes or flange holes are set on the aluminum foil plates. The aluminum foil mass-produced by the stamping workshop is usually uneven and has a rough shape, especially around the holes, which need to be flattened and trimmed. At present, the actual production to solve this problem requires a machine loaded with a mold to flatten the aluminum foil plate or manually knocking the surface of the aluminum foil plate. This solution is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it cannot be flattened around the holes on the aluminum foil. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention is further configured as follows: a through hole penetrating the interior of the integral edge pressing module is provided on the integral edge pressing module, an independent flattening column is provided inside the through hole, and a side of the integral edge pressing module is fixedly connected to the upper die.

[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: the trimming equipment also includes a trimming cylinder mounting plate and a trimming guide mechanism, the trimming die includes an upper trimming die and a lower trimming die, the trimming cylinder is fixed to the movable plate through the trimming cylinder mounting plate, and the trimming die is connected to the trimming cylinder through the trimming guide mechanism.

[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: a balancing rack mechanism is arranged on the bottom plate, the balancing rack mechanism includes a balancing rod, a balancing rod fixing seat, a locking knob, and an adjusting knob; the balancing rod is connected to the balancing rod fixing seat and a rack is arranged on the balancing rod; the balancing rod moves along the balancing rod fixing seat.

[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: the outer sheet metal is arranged at the four corners of the base, the outer sheet metal is fixed to the base by screws, the outer sheet metal is used to support the control console, a safety light curtain is arranged on the outer sheet metal, a hydraulic station, an oil cylinder and a safety fence are arranged on the control console, and the safety fence is arranged on the base around the control console and a safety column is arranged.

[0010] The present invention is further configured as follows: a control method applicable to an aluminum foil trimming and flattening device, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S10, preset stage, the flattening depth data is set by the machine, the preset value of the flattening depth data of the overall flattening module is K1, the preset value of the flattening depth data of the independent flattening module is K2, and the trimming shape data is set at the same time. After the preset data is set, the safety light curtain automatically starts and stays on;

[0012] S20, working stage, the oil cylinder controls the hydraulic station to lower the movable plate, and the overall flattening module presses the aluminum foil as a whole. When the flattening depth of the overall flattening module reaches the preset value K1, the independent flattening module works;

[0013] S30, during the re-pressing stage, the independent flattening cylinder controls the independent flattening column to descend for local flattening. When the flattening depth of the independent flattening module reaches the preset value K2, the independent flattening module stays for 5 seconds, and the trimming device trims according to the preset trimming shape data;

[0014] S40, in the reset stage, the aluminum foil trimming and flattening equipment completes the aluminum foil flattening and trimming task, and the movable plate rises to retract the aluminum foil flattening module and the aluminum foil trimming module, completing a working task.

[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, the aluminum foil trimming and flattening equipment fixes the aluminum foil to be processed through the lower mold and the positioning tire mold arranged on the lower mold, and the movable plate controls the overall flattening module to flatten the aluminum foil for the first time. At the same time, the aluminum foil trimming equipment performs trimming processing on the aluminum foil. When the first flattening is completed, the independent flattening module descends from the overall flattening module to independently flatten the surrounding side of the mounting hole on the aluminum foil. Each independent flattening module works independently without interfering with each other. Since the independent flattening module is arranged inside the through hole on the overall flattening module, it is equivalent to using the overall flattening module to perform secondary positioning on the hole position on the aluminum foil to be processed. The "one-to-one" flattening of the independent flattening module can ensure that there will be no wrinkles and gaps around the mounting holes on the aluminum foil, thereby improving the aluminum foil processing efficiency.

[0016] The aluminum foil trimming equipment uses machines instead of manual labor, making the aluminum foil trimming smoother and eliminating the need for manual trimming. It also reduces the risk of workers being accidentally injured by knives. The movable plate connected to the aluminum foil flattening equipment can press down and fix the aluminum foil on the lower mold, which better cooperates with the work of the trimming mechanism, making it difficult for the aluminum foil to move during the trimming process. By utilizing the free bending and rotating characteristics of the trimming guide mechanism on the aluminum foil trimming equipment, a variety of trimming can be performed on the aluminum foil to be processed.

[0017] The balancing rack mechanism can adjust the position of the balancing rod on the balancing rod fixing seat by tightening the knob and adjusting the knob, so that the balancing rack mechanism can better balance the aluminum foil flattening equipment. The balancing rod of the adjustable stabilizer has the characteristics of simple structure and compact coordination, and is more accurate, quicker and more convenient.

[0018] Outsourcing sheet metal saves more materials and reduces costs than fully enclosed aluminum foil slicers. The safety light curtain starts and stays on when the aluminum foil trimming and flattening equipment is started, which can remind and warn the operator and improve the safety of equipment use. The console is equipped with important components for controlling the aluminum foil trimming and flattening equipment. When the components need maintenance, the staff can repair the equipment on the console. The safety fence set on the console can protect the safety of the staff. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After the preset data is set, the safety light curtain automatically starts and stays on;

[0033] S20, working stage, the oil cylinder controls the hydraulic station to lower the movable plate, and the overall flattening module presses the aluminum foil as a whole. When the flattening depth of the overall flattening module reaches the preset value K1, the independent flattening module works;

[0034] S30, during the re-pressing stage, the independent flattening cylinder controls the independent flattening column to descend for local flattening. When the flattening depth of the independent flattening module reaches the preset value K2, the independent flattening module stays for 5 seconds, and the trimming device trims according to the preset trimming shape data;
