[0030] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a bottom shell bending die, which includes a lower die base 100 and an upper die base 200, and a bending mechanism 300 is arranged between the lower die base 100 and the upper die base 200. The bottom shell bending die is used for processing the bottom shell 400 of some electrical equipment, such as the bottom shell 400 of a water heater, the bottom shell 400 of a washing machine, etc. The bottom shell 400 generally has a U-shaped structure, including a bottom plate 410 and folding plates 420 connected to both ends of the bottom plate 410, and the folding plates 420 face the same side of the bottom plate 410 and are perpendicular to the bottom plate 410.

[0031] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the upper die base 200 is arranged above the lower die base 100, and the upper die base 200 is slidably arranged in the up and down direction. For example, the upper die base 200 and the lower die base 100 are connected by a guide sleeve and a guide post, and the guiding is accurate.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1As shown, it can be understood that the lower die base 100 is provided with a first stripping plate 110 and a second stripping plate 120. Among them, the first stripping plate 110 is located above the second stripping plate 120, and both the first stripping plate 110 and the second stripping plate 120 are floatingly arranged in the up and down direction. Specifically, both the first stripping plate 110 and the second stripping plate 120 are slidably installed above the lower die base 100 in the up and down direction. The lower end of the first stripping plate 110 is connected to a third elastic member 160, and the lower end of the third elastic member 160 is connected to the lower die base 100. The acting force of the third elastic member 160 on the first stripping plate 110 is upward. Therefore, under the acting force of the third elastic member 160, the first stripping plate 110 can be supported. At the same time, the first stripping plate 110 can be driven downward by an external force to compress the third elastic member 160. Therefore, the first stripping plate 110 floats in the up and down direction. Similarly, the lower end of the second stripping plate 120 is connected to a fourth elastic member 170, and the lower end of the fourth elastic member 170 is connected to the lower die base 100. The acting force of the fourth elastic member 170 on the second stripping plate 120 is upward. Therefore, under the acting force of the fourth elastic member 170, the second stripping plate 120 can be supported. At the same time, the second stripping plate 120 can be driven downward by an external force to compress the fourth elastic member 170. Therefore, the second stripping plate 120 floats in the up and down direction. The third elastic member 160 and the fourth elastic member 170 can be nitrogen springs, which have the advantages of small volume, large elastic force, stable operation, and long service life.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the bending mechanism 300 includes a first forming seat 310, a second forming seat 320, and a forming block 330. Specifically, there are two first forming seats 310, two second forming seats 320, and two forming blocks 330. The two first forming seats 310 are both installed at the upper end of the second stripping plate 120 and are respectively located on the left and right sides of the first stripping plate 110. The two second forming seats 320 are both installed on the lower die base 100 and are respectively located on the left and right sides of the second stripping plate 120. At the same time, the second forming seat 320 on the left is located on the left side of the first forming seat 310 on the left, and the second forming seat 320 on the right is located on the right side of the first forming seat 310 on the right. The two forming blocks 330 are installed at the lower end of the upper die base 200. At the same time, the two forming blocks 330 are arranged at intervals in the left and right direction and are located between the two first forming seats 310. Generally speaking, a pressing block 240 is also provided on the lower end surface of the upper die base 200. The pressing block 240 is located between the two forming blocks 330 and above the first stripping plate 110.

[0034] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it can be understood that the forming block 330 is adapted to cooperate with the first forming seat 310 to perform the first bending on the bottom shell 400, and the forming block 330 is also adapted to cooperate with the second forming seat 320 to perform the second bending on the bottom shell 400.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the first forming seats 310, the second forming seats 320 and the forming blocks 330 on the left and right sides respectively perform bending processing on the folding plates 420 at both ends of the bottom shell 400, with high efficiency.

[0036] By arranging the first stripping plate 110 and the second stripping plate 120 with floating settings on the lower die base 100, during processing, the sheet material is positioned on the first stripping plate 110. The upper die base 200 moves downward and presses the sheet material tightly against the first stripping plate 110 through the pressing block 240. As the upper die base 200 moves downward, the upper die base 200 first drives the sheet material and the first stripping plate 110 to move downward, and the third elastic member 160 is compressed. The forming block 330 cooperates with the first forming seat 310 to perform the first bending on both ends of the sheet material, obtaining the initially bent folding plate 420. After the first stripping plate 110 contacts the second stripping plate 120, as the upper die base 200 further moves downward, the upper die base 200 drives the sheet material, the first stripping plate 110 and the second stripping plate 120 to continue moving downward, and the forming block 330 cooperates with the second forming seat 320 to perform the second bending on the sheet material, so that the bending angle of the folding plate 420 meets the processing requirements, such as making the folding plate 420 perpendicular to the bottom plate 410. Thus, two bends are achieved on one die to process the required bottom shell 400, without the need for separate processes, reducing the number of times of positioning the bottom shell 400, facilitating processing, effectively improving production efficiency, and without the need to develop multiple sets of dies, which is beneficial to reducing production costs.

[0037] Referring to Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the first forming seats 310 and the forming blocks 330 are respectively provided with corresponding first forming surfaces 311. Specifically, the upper ends of the opposite sides of the two first forming seats 310 and the lower ends of the back sides of the two forming blocks 330 are respectively provided with first forming surfaces 311 arranged obliquely upward. Define the angle between the first forming surface 311 and the horizontal plane as θ, satisfying: 40° ≤ θ ≤ 60°. For example, θ = 40°, θ = 50° or θ = 60°, etc., so as to obtain folding plates 420 with corresponding angles after the first bending. When θ < 40°, the first bending angle of the folding plate 420 is too small, resulting in too large a second bending angle and a large force required for the second bending, affecting the bending accuracy of the second bending; when θ > 60°, the first bending angle is too large. Similarly, a large force is required for the first bending, affecting the bending accuracy of the first bending.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1As shown, it can be understood that the second forming seats 320 and the forming blocks 330 are respectively provided with correspondingly arranged second forming surfaces 321. Specifically, the second forming surfaces 321 are provided on the facing sides of the two second forming seats 320 and the back sides of the two forming blocks 330. The second forming surfaces 321 are arranged vertically, for example, perpendicular to the horizontal plane, or the second forming surfaces 321 of the second forming seats 320 are slightly inclined and downward. It is easy to understand that the first forming surface 311 on the forming block 330 is connected to the second forming surface 321. Therefore, the folding plate 420 can be further bent to the required angle through the second forming surface 321, such as the folding plate 420 being perpendicular to the bottom plate 410.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the two forming blocks 330 are slidably mounted on the upper die base 200 in the left-right direction. The lower ends of the opposite sides of the two forming blocks 330 are respectively provided with first wedge-shaped portions 331, such as wedge-shaped surfaces. The lower die base 100 is provided with two first wedge-shaped driving blocks 130 respectively cooperating with the two first wedge-shaped portions 331. When the upper die base 200 moves downward, the two first wedge-shaped driving blocks 130 drive the two forming blocks 330 to move away from each other, so that the two forming blocks 330 respectively cooperate with the two first forming seats 310 or the two second forming seats 320 to clamp the folding plates 420 at both ends of the bottom plate 410, realizing the bending process of the folding plates 420. The structure is simple and the bending is accurate.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the upper die base 200 is provided with two first elastic members 210. The two first elastic members are respectively connected to the two forming blocks 330. The acting force of the left first elastic member 210 on the left forming block 330 is toward the right, and the acting force of the right first elastic member 210 on the right forming block 330 is toward the left. Therefore, when the upper die base 200 moves upward, the first wedge-shaped driving block 130 removes the acting force on the forming block 330. Under the acting forces of the two first elastic members 210, the two forming blocks 330 can be driven to move toward each other for demoulding. The first elastic member 210 can be a nitrogen spring.

[0041] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the upper die base 200 is provided with a first wear-resistant plate 220. The first wear-resistant plate 220 is embedded in the lower end surface of the upper die base 200. The two forming blocks 330 slide along the lower end surface of the first wear-resistant plate 220, so that the wear can be reduced and the service life can be extended.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1As shown, it can be understood that two second forming seats 320 are slidably mounted on the lower die base 100 in the left-right direction. Second wedge-shaped portions 322, such as wedge-shaped surfaces, are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the two second forming seats 320. The upper die base 200 is provided with two second wedge-shaped driving blocks 230 respectively cooperating with the two second wedge-shaped portions 322. When the upper die base 200 moves downward, the two second wedge-shaped driving blocks 230 move downward with the upper die base 200, and the two second wedge-shaped driving blocks 230 drive the two second forming seats 320 to move towards each other. Thus, the two forming blocks 330 respectively cooperate with the two second forming seats 320 to clamp the folding plates 420 at both ends of the bottom plate 410, realizing further bending processing of the folding plates 420. The structure is simple and the bending is accurate.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the lower die base 100 is provided with two second elastic members 140. The two second elastic members 140 are respectively connected to the two second forming seats 320. The acting force of the left second elastic member 140 on the left second forming seat 320 is to the left, and the acting force of the right second elastic member 140 on the right second forming seat 320 is to the right. Therefore, when the upper die base 200 moves upward, the second wedge-shaped driving block 230 removes the acting force on the second forming seat 320. Under the acting force of the two second elastic members 140, the two second forming seats 320 can be driven to move away from each other for demoulding. The second elastic member 140 can be a nitrogen spring.

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the lower die base 100 is provided with a second wear-resistant plate 150. The second wear-resistant plate 150 is embedded in the lower end surface of the lower die base 100, and the two second forming seats 320 slide along the upper end surface of the second wear-resistant plate 150, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art.
