Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sheet metal processing technology, specifically to a high-efficiency forming equipment and process for high-precision sheet metal structural parts. Background Technology
[0002] Sheet metal forming equipment is a broad field encompassing mechanical equipment used to process metal sheets into desired shapes and sizes through shearing, stamping, bending, stretching, and other methods. A bending machine is a machine capable of bending thin sheets. Its structure mainly includes a support frame, a worktable, and a clamping plate. The worktable, placed on the support frame, consists of a base and a pressure plate. The base is connected to the clamping plate via a hinge and comprises a housing, a coil, and a cover plate. The coil is placed in a recess within the housing, which is covered by the cover plate. During operation, the coil is energized by a wire, generating electromagnetic force that attracts the pressure plate, thus clamping the sheet metal between the pressure plate and the base. Due to the use of electromagnetic clamping, the pressure plate can be manufactured into shapes suitable for various workpiece requirements, and it can also process workpieces with sidewalls. Operation is also very simple. The bending machine applies pressure to the sheet metal through an upper die (punch) and a lower die (V-groove), causing plastic deformation to obtain a predetermined angle and shape.
[0003] Existing bending equipment is difficult to bend sheets of different specifications (length and width) and thicknesses, usually requiring the replacement of different bending dies, resulting in poor adaptability. Near the bending angle, stress concentration occurs in the sheet material, along with minute tensile or compressive displacements, causing tensile deformation of the material and gradually leading to the accumulation of die wear.
[0004] For example, the invention patent with announcement number CN111775431B provides a bending machine that bends FPC board products during the rotation of the shaft by setting up a rotating shaft and bending components. However, this device needs to bend the FPC board one side at a time, which results in low bending efficiency. In addition, errors are easily introduced during the edge changing process due to repeated positioning, affecting the forming accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a high-efficiency forming equipment and process for high-precision sheet metal structural parts, which solves the problems of existing bending machines that bend sheet metal edge by edge, resulting in low bending efficiency, affecting forming accuracy, and poor adaptability.

The first forming rods in the multiple bending assemblies abut each other end-to-end, forming a cavity. The first, second, and third forming rods are all horizontally arranged triangular prisms. A rectangular side of the first forming rod is called the first side, a rectangular side of the second forming rod is called the second side, and a rectangular side of the third forming rod is called the third side. One side of the first side is hinged to the base plate. The other side of the first side is hinged to one side of the second side.

When the pressure inside the main hydraulic cylinder reaches a third preset value, it drives the third hydraulic cylinder to extend. The first preset value is less than the second preset value, and the second preset value is less than the third preset value.
[0013] Furthermore, the number of bending components is four. Two of the first forming rods are distributed sequentially along a first direction and arranged along a second direction. The other two first forming rods are distributed sequentially along the second direction and arranged along the first direction.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer mold mechanism includes a movable block, which is slidably mounted on the support. The movable block is located in the middle of the polygonal frame. The polygonal frame includes four L-shaped frames, two first connecting rods arranged sequentially along a second direction, and two second connecting rods arranged sequentially along the first direction. The first connecting rods are arranged along the first direction, and the second connecting rods are arranged along the second direction. The four L-shaped frames are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the movable block. The two ends of each first connecting rod abut against one end of the two L-shaped frames. The two ends of each second connecting rod abut against the other end of the two L-shaped frames.
[0018] Multiple fourth hydraulic cylinders are fixedly mounted on the movable block. The fourth hydraulic cylinders are vertically mounted.

[0058] An efficient forming process for high-precision sheet metal structural parts includes the following steps: S1, In the initial state, the outer mold mechanism is in the first state. The first side 101, the second side 111, and the third side 121 are on the same plane.
[0059] S2, the sheet material is placed horizontally on the first forming rod 100, so that the first side 101, the second side 111, and the third side 121 are all in contact with the sheet material. Then, the seventh hydraulic cylinder 470 is activated, which drives the moving block 400 and the polygonal frame downwards. The polygonal frame enters the cavity and contacts the sheet material.
[0060] S3, after the polygonal frame contacts the base plate, the polygonal frame continues to move downwards, compressing the main hydraulic cylinder 200, and the pressure inside the main hydraulic cylinder 200 gradually increases. When the pressure inside the main hydraulic cylinder 200 reaches the first preset value, the hydraulic oil inside the main hydraulic cylinder 200 enters each first hydraulic cylinder 210 through the first overflow valve, the first main oil pipe, and the first auxiliary oil pipe. The first hydraulic cylinder 210 pushes the first movable block 500 to move, causing the first side 101 to change from a horizontal to a vertical state, bending the plate to form a vertically set first folded surface. The first movable block 500 drives the first intermediate block 540 to move synchronously. At this time, the second side 111 and the third side 121 are both parallel to the first side 101 and are both in a vertical state.
[0061] When the pressure inside the main hydraulic cylinder 200 reaches the second preset value, hydraulic oil enters each second hydraulic cylinder 220 through the second relief valve, the second main oil pipe, and the second auxiliary oil pipe. The second hydraulic cylinder 220 pushes the second movable block 510 to move, causing the second side surface 111 to change from a vertical state to a horizontal state, bending the first folded surface to form a horizontally set second folded surface. The second movable block 510 drives the second intermediate block 550 to move synchronously. At this time, the third side surface 121 and the second side surface 111 are arranged parallel to each other and are both in a horizontal state.
[0062] When the pressure inside the main hydraulic cylinder 200 reaches the third preset value, the hydraulic oil inside the main hydraulic cylinder 200 enters each third hydraulic cylinder 230 through the third relief valve, the third main oil pipe, and the third auxiliary oil pipe. The third hydraulic cylinder 230 pushes the third movable block 520 to move, causing the third side surface 121 to change from a horizontal state to a vertical state, performing a third bend on the second folded surface to form a vertically arranged third folded surface. The third movable block 520 drives the third intermediate block 560 to move synchronously. At this point, the outer mold mechanism is in the second state.
[0063] Next, the sixth hydraulic cylinder 460 is activated. Multiple sixth hydraulic cylinders 460 drive the second connecting frame 412 to move closer to the first connecting frame 411, the second fixing rod 423 to move closer to the first fixing rod 422, and the fourth fixing rod 433 to move closer to the third fixing rod 432. This allows the L-shaped frame 410, the first connecting rod 420, and the second connecting rod 430 to detach from the bent sheet metal.
[0064] The fifth hydraulic cylinder 450 is then activated to shorten the plate. The fifth hydraulic cylinder 450 drives the L-shaped frame 410, the first connecting rod 420, and the second connecting rod 430 to move closer to the fixed block 401, causing the L-shaped frame 410, the first connecting rod 420, the second connecting rod 430, and the bent plate to detach. Finally, the bent plate is removed, thus completing the entire bending process.
[0065] A high-precision sheet metal structural component forming equipment allows for bending of sheet metal without requiring the sheet to move, resulting in higher forming accuracy. Furthermore, all four edges can be bent simultaneously, further enhancing efficiency.
[0066] For plates of different thicknesses, the first screw, the second screw 104, the third screw, and the fourth screw 114 can be rotated. The first screw adjusts the distance between the first connecting block and the second connecting block, and the second screw 104 adjusts the distance between the third connecting block 102 and the fourth connecting block 103, thereby changing the height of the first side 101 when the outer mold mechanism is in the second state. Furthermore, the distance between the polygonal frame and the second folded surface can also be adjusted by adjusting the extension of the sixth hydraulic cylinder 460.
[0067] The third screw adjusts the distance between the fifth and sixth connecting blocks, and the fourth screw 114 adjusts the distance between the seventh and eighth connecting blocks 112 and 113. Simultaneously, adjusting the extension distance of the fifth hydraulic cylinder 450 adjusts the distance between the polygonal frame and the first and third folded surfaces.
[0068] For plates of different specifications (length and width), rotate the first bidirectional threaded rod 321 and the second bidirectional threaded rod 311. The second bidirectional threaded rod 311 adjusts the distance between the two first adjusting plates 310, thereby changing the distance between the two movable components. The first bidirectional threaded rod 321 adjusts the distance between the two support blocks 300 in each movable component. Then, replace the corresponding first intermediate block 540, second intermediate block 550, and third intermediate block 560 to form a new cavity.
[0069] For the new cavity, the polygonal frame needs to be adjusted accordingly. First, the fourth hydraulic cylinder 440, connected to the first connecting rod 420 and the second connecting rod 430, is activated, causing the first connecting rod 420 and the second connecting rod 430 to move upwards, thus disengaging the first connecting rod 420, the second connecting rod 430, and the L-shaped frame 410. Then, the first connecting rod 420 and the second connecting rod 430 are replaced with components adapted to the new specifications.
[0070] Next, the fifth hydraulic cylinder 450, connected to the L-shaped frame 410, is activated, and the fifth screw 480 is adjusted so that the two sliding blocks 402 move closer or further apart, thereby adjusting the four L-shaped frames 410 to a position matching the new cavity. Subsequently, the fifth hydraulic cylinder 450, connected to the first connecting rod 420 and the second connecting rod 430, is manipulated to adjust the new first connecting rod 420 and the second connecting rod 430 to a position corresponding to the new cavity. Finally, the replaced first connecting rod 420 and the second connecting rod 430 are moved downwards to re-engage with the L-shaped frame 410, completing all adjustments.
