[0054] The first bending mechanism 21a, the second bending mechanism 21b, the third bending mechanism 21c and the fourth bending mechanism 21d all include a Z-axis driving module 211, a support frame 212 driven by the Z-axis driving module 211 to move in the Z direction, a rotating driving member 213 fixed on the support frame 212, and a mounting seat 214 driven by the rotating driving member 213 to rotate around the X-axis. The mounting seat 214 is provided with a plurality of processing components 215 arranged in a ring around the X-axis. The processing components 215 are selected from one or more combinations of a clamping member 216 and a bending member 217. The clamping member 216 is pressed on the upper surface or the lower surface of the product, and the bending member 217 bends the product upward or downward.

[0055] When performing the bending action, the clamping piece 216 of one bending mechanism 21 is pressed on the top of the product, the clamping piece 216 of another bending mechanism 21 is pressed on the bottom of the product, and the bending piece 217 of another bending mechanism 21 presses the product from one side of the product to the other side to achieve the bending action. In order to be able to bend the product upward and downward, this embodiment is provided with a first bending mechanism 21a, a second bending mechanism 21b, a third bending mechanism 21c and a fourth bending mechanism 21d, and the structures of the four bending mechanisms 21 are basically the same.

[0056] like Figure 14-17As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the principle of the first bending mechanism 21a, the second bending mechanism 21b, the third bending mechanism 21c and the fourth bending mechanism 21d of this embodiment cooperating to complete the upward bending and downward bending actions. The following is just an example of the action principle diagram of bending upward and bending downward. Since a driving mechanism 22 is provided to drive the bending mechanism to move, the four bending mechanisms 21 can select three of the bending mechanisms 21 to be combined in other ways to achieve left-side downward bending, left-side upward bending, right-side downward bending and right-side upward bending. As for other combinations, they are not listed here one by one.

[0057] like Fig.14 As shown, the pressing members 216 of the second bending mechanism 21b and the fourth bending mechanism 21d simultaneously press on the upper and lower surfaces of the product 200, and the bending member 217 of the first bending mechanism 21a bends the left side of the product downward;

[0058] like Fig.15 As shown, the pressing members 216 of the second bending mechanism 21b and the fourth bending mechanism 21d simultaneously press on the upper and lower surfaces of the product 200, and the bending member 217 of the third bending mechanism 21c bends the left side of the product upward;

[0059] like Fig.16 As shown, the pressing members 216 of the first bending mechanism 21a and the third bending mechanism 21c simultaneously press on the upper and lower surfaces of the product 200, and the bending member 217 of the second bending mechanism 21b bends the right side of the product downward;

[0060] like Fig.17 As shown, the pressing members 216 of the first bending mechanism 21a and the third bending mechanism 21c simultaneously press on the upper and lower surfaces of the product 200, and the bending member 217 of the fourth bending mechanism 21d bends the right side of the product upward.

[0061] One end of the first clamping member 2161, the second clamping member 2162 and the bending member 217 is the mounting end mounted on the mounting seat 214, and each is provided with a plate-like structure, called a mounting plate, and the other end is provided with a plurality of clamping heads or a plurality of bending heads.

[0062] At least one first clamping head 2163 is arranged on the mounting plate of the first clamping member 2161. The first clamping head 2163 is pressed on the outer side 201 of the bending of the product and the first clamping head 2163 is arranged in the shape of the product surface. The bottom surface of the first clamping head 2163 is coated with resin or installed with a resin block to prevent the product from being crushed.

[0063] At least one second clamping head 2164 is arranged on the mounting plate of the second clamping piece 2162. The bottom surface of the second clamping head 2164 is arranged to conform to the surface of the product and the side edge of the bottom surface is provided with a contoured flange 2165 conforming to the inner side 202 of the product bend. The structure of the contoured flange 2165 can be arranged according to different products, and multiple second clamping heads 2164 can be arranged on the second clamping piece 2162. Therefore, a contoured flange 2165 cooperating with different products 200 can be arranged, which can adapt to the bending of different products at the same time and has high versatility.

[0064] At least one bending head is arranged on the mounting plate of the bending member 217, and the bottom of the bending head is a plane or a pointed end, or is set according to the shape of the bending part of the product, which is not limited here.

[0065] In this embodiment, four processing components 215 are installed at equal angles on each mounting seat 214. In other embodiments, the number of processing components 215 installed on each mounting seat 214 is not limited and can be set according to actual conditions. The processing components 215 are selected from one or more combinations of the pressing components 216 and the bending components 217, such as Figure 8 As shown, one or more of the first pressing head 2163, the second pressing member 2162, and the bending member 217 can be integrated on a mounting plate to form a processing component 215, or as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, one or more of the first pressing head 2163, the second pressing member 2162, and the bending member 217 can be integrated on different mounting plates to form a processing component 215. The bending mechanism 21 is provided with a rotating driving member 213, and the mounting seat 214 is provided with a plurality of pressing members 216 and bending members 217 of various types. The rotating driving member 213 drives the mounting seat 214 to rotate to select the pressing members 216 and bending members 217 that match different bending parts of the same product or different bending parts of different products, and move them to a suitable position to align with the product and perform the corresponding bending action.

[0066] The loading and positioning platform 1 comprises a support base 11 , a loading carrier 12 movably disposed on the support base 11 , and a second cylinder 13 driving the loading carrier 12 to move up and down.

[0067] The loading carrier 12 is provided with a second positioning structure 121 for positioning the product 200. In the present embodiment, the second positioning structure 121 includes a plurality of second positioning pins and profiling grooves provided on the loading carrier 12, the second positioning pins surround the periphery of the product 200 and / or extend into the hole of the product 200, and some irregular parts such as the curved parts or convex parts of the product 200 are positioned in the profiling grooves, and the second positioning pins and the profiling grooves work together to achieve positioning of the product 200. In other embodiments, since different products have different structures, the second positioning structure 121 is not limited to the second positioning pins and profiling grooves described above, and different second positioning structures 121 can be provided according to different products, as long as they can be used to achieve positioning of the product 200.

[0068] The transfer positioning device 4 receives the product on the loading station 70 and moves it to the bending station 80 for bending. After the bending is completed, it continues to move to the unloading station 90 for unloading. When unloading, in order to avoid waiting at the bending station 80, two transfer positioning devices 4 are provided, namely the first transfer positioning device 41 and the second transfer positioning device 42. The first transfer positioning device 41 and the second transfer positioning device 42 work alternately, which can improve the rhythm of the entire production process and improve work efficiency.

[0069] The first transfer positioning device 41 and the second transfer positioning device 42 both include an XY axis driving module 411, a first support plate 412 driven by the XY axis driving module 411 to move in the XY direction, a second rotating driving member 413 disposed on the first support plate 412, and a cantilever 414 driven by the second rotating driving member 413 to rotate around the Z axis, one end of the cantilever 414 is fixed to the second rotating driving member 413, and the other end is provided with a mobile carrier 415 for positioning the product 200, and the mobile carrier 415 receives the product on the loading positioning platform 1 or transfers the product to the unloading station 90. To facilitate the stability of the movement of the mobile carrier 415, a roller 416 is disposed below the XY axis driving module 411, and the roller 416 rolls on the frame 6, and the frame 6 is provided with a rolling track 61 that cooperates with the roller 416.

[0070] The second cylinder 13 drives the loading carrier 12 to move up and down to transfer the product to the mobile carrier 415. The loading carrier 12 is at two heights including a first height above and a second height below. When the mobile carrier 415 receives the product at the loading station 70, the mobile carrier 415 is between the first height and the second height.

[0071] When the mobile carrier 415 receives the product at the loading station 70, the loading carrier 12 is located at a first height above, and the mobile carrier 415 is located directly below the loading carrier 12. The second cylinder 13 drives the loading carrier 12 to descend to a second height below. During the descent of the loading carrier 12, the product on the loading carrier 12 falls onto the mobile carrier 415, and the product is clamped on the mobile carrier 415 to be bent. Therefore, the loading carrier 12 is provided with an avoidance gap 124 for avoiding the mobile carrier 415 at the position of positioning the product, so that the product can be transferred to the mobile carrier 415 during the process of the second cylinder 13 driving the loading carrier 12 to move up and down.

[0072] The mobile carrier 415 includes a carrier lower seat 4151 for carrying and positioning the product and an upper cover 4152 rotatably disposed on the carrier lower seat 4151 .

[0073] The carrier lower seat 4151 is in an L-shaped structure, with the vertical end fixedly mounted on the cantilever 414 and the horizontal end being provided with a first positioning structure 4153 for positioning the product. In the present embodiment, the first positioning structure 4153 includes a plurality of first positioning pins and a plurality of adsorption holes arranged on the carrier lower seat 4151. The first positioning pins surround the periphery of the product 200 to prevent the product from moving in the horizontal direction, and the adsorption holes are vacuumed to adsorb the lower surface of the product to prevent the product from shifting. In other embodiments, since different products have different structures, the first positioning structure 4153 is not limited to the first positioning pins and adsorption holes described above, and different first positioning structures 4153 may be provided according to different products, as long as they can be used to achieve the positioning of the product 200. Since some products are relatively long, in order to ensure the stability of the products on the mobile carrier 415, a support bracket 4155 for supporting the products is provided on the side of the carrier lower seat 4151. The structure of the support bracket 4155 is set according to the structure of the product. Therefore, its specific structure is not limited as long as it can support the product. The support bracket 4155 is fixed to the side of the carrier lower seat 4151 by screws. If the product is replaced, the screws are loosened and replaced with a different support bracket 4155 and then tightened, so that the mobile carrier 415 can position different products when replacing different products.

[0074] One end of the upper cover 4152 is rotatably mounted on the carrier lower seat 4151 via a first rotating shaft 4156, and the other end is provided with a pressing portion 4157 for pressing the product. A driving assembly 14 for opening the upper cover 4152 is provided on the support seat 11, and action blocks 4158 cooperating with the driving assembly 14 are correspondingly provided on both sides of the upper cover 4152. The driving assembly 14 includes a first cylinder 141 and a push rod 142 driven by the first cylinder 141 to move up and down. The first cylinder 141 drives the push rod 142 to push the action block 4158 upward, so that the upper cover 4152 opens upward, and the carrier lower seat 4151 receives the product on the loading positioning platform 1 or transfers the product to the unloading station 90. A first magnet is arranged on the upper cover 4152, and a second magnet is arranged on the carrier lower seat 4151. The polarities of the first magnet and the second magnet are opposite. When the product is positioned on the carrier lower seat 4151, the first cylinder 141 drives the push rod 142 to descend, and the first magnet and the second magnet attract each other with opposite polarities, so that the upper cover 4152 is covered on the carrier lower seat 4151 to press the product.

[0075] The support seat 11 is also provided with a first sensor for detecting whether there are products on the loading carrier 12 , a second sensor for detecting whether there are products on the carrier lower seat 4151 , and a third sensor for detecting whether the upper cover 4152 is pressed against the carrier lower seat 4151 .

[0076] The inspection module 3 includes a camera for taking pictures of the bent product and a barcode scanner for scanning the barcode of the product. After the camera takes the picture, it is transmitted to the inspection system to detect whether the bending quality is qualified.

[0077] After the flipping and unloading module 5 takes down the product, the handling device (not shown) places the product on the flipping and unloading module 5 on the tray or carries it to the next station. The flipping and unloading module 5 includes a third cylinder 51, a second support plate 52 driven by the third cylinder 51 to move along the Y direction, a fourth cylinder 53 fixed on the second support plate 52, and a lifting frame 54 driven by the fourth cylinder 53 to move up and down, a swing plate 55 rotatably arranged on the upper end of the lifting frame 54, a clamping cylinder 56 fixed on the swing plate 55, and a pair of clamping claws 57 driven by the clamping cylinder 56 to open or clamp, a fifth cylinder 510 is hinged on the lifting frame 54, and a lifting shaft 58 driven by the fifth cylinder 510 to move up and down is arranged on the upper end of the fifth cylinder 510, and a connecting rod 59 is fixed on the upper end of the lifting shaft 58, and the other end of the connecting rod 59 is rotatably connected to the swing plate 55.

[0078] The swing plate 55 is rotatably mounted on the lifting frame 54 via the second rotating shaft 512, and is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 59 via the third rotating shaft 511. The lifting frame 54 is provided with an escape opening for escaping the lifting shaft 58 from moving along the Y direction.

[0079] The process of flipping and unloading is as follows: the fifth cylinder 510 drives the lifting shaft 58 to rise, the clamping cylinder 56 drives the clamping claw 57 to open and keep it in a horizontal state, the third cylinder 51 drives the second support plate 52 to move along the Y direction close to the mobile carrier 415, the clamping cylinder 56 drives the clamping claw 57 to clamp the product, the fifth cylinder 510 drives the lifting shaft 58 to descend, and at the same time, the fourth cylinder 53 extends out to drive the lifting frame 54 to rise, the clamping claw 57 flips to the side away from the mobile carrier 415 and rises at the same time, the third cylinder 51 drives the second support plate 52 to drive the clamping claw 57 away from the mobile carrier 415, and the product is taken away by the handling device (not shown in the figure).

[0080] Embodiment 2:

[0081] In the first embodiment, Figure 14-17 As shown, although four bending mechanisms 21 are provided, in fact, there are only three bending mechanisms 21 when the bending action is performed, and one bending mechanism 21 is idle. Therefore, in order to simplify the structure of the first embodiment, the second embodiment adopts three bending mechanisms 21 to complete the same up and down bending action as the first embodiment. The structure of the three bending mechanisms 21 in the second embodiment is the same as the structure of the four bending mechanisms 21 in the first embodiment, except that the layout of the bending mechanism and the driving mechanism of the bending mechanism are different. Of course, in order to ensure that the three bending mechanisms 21 in this embodiment can smoothly perform the bending action, the transfer and positioning device 4 of the entire bending equipment in this embodiment can be adjusted according to the actual application situation, which is not limited here.

[0082] In the second embodiment, the first bending mechanism 21a and the second bending mechanism 21b respectively work above and below the product, and the third bending mechanism 21c works above or below the product. The driving mechanism 22 includes a first X-axis driving module for driving the first bending mechanism 21a to move in the X direction, a second X-axis driving module for driving the second bending mechanism 21b to move in the X direction, and an XZ-axis driving module for driving the third bending mechanism 21c to move along the XZ direction. The XZ-axis driving module can drive the third bending mechanism 21c to move from above the product to below the product or from below the product to above the product, so that the third bending mechanism 21c cooperates with the first bending mechanism 21a and the second bending mechanism 21b to bend the product upward or downward.

[0083] The structures of the pressing member 216 and the bending member 217 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and will not be described again.

[0084] like Figure 18-Figure 21 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the three bending mechanisms 21 of this embodiment cooperating to complete the upward bending and downward bending actions:

[0085] like Fig.18As shown, in the initial state, the third bending mechanism 21c is located above the product and on the left side of the first bending mechanism 21a. At this time, the pressing members 216 of the first bending mechanism 21a and the second bending mechanism 21b are pressed on the upper and lower surfaces of the product 200 at the same time, and the bending member 217 of the third bending mechanism 21c bends the left side of the product downward;

[0086] like Fig.19 As shown, based on the initial state, the second bending mechanism 21b moves to the left along the X-axis and is aligned with the third bending mechanism 21c. At this time, the pressing members 216 of the third bending mechanism 21c and the second bending mechanism 21b are pressed on the upper and lower surfaces of the product 200 at the same time, and the bending member 217 of the first bending mechanism 21a bends the right side of the product downward;

[0087] like Fig. 20 As shown, based on the initial state, the third bending mechanism 21c moves downward along the Z axis to the bottom of the product. At this time, the pressing members 216 of the first bending mechanism 21a and the second bending mechanism 21b are pressed on the upper and lower surfaces of the product 200 at the same time, and the bending member 217 of the third bending mechanism 21c bends the left side of the product upward;

[0088] like Fig.21 As shown, based on the initial state, the third bending mechanism 21c moves downward along the Z-axis to the bottom of the product, and at the same time, the first bending mechanism 21a moves to the left along the X-axis to the top of the third bending mechanism 21c. At this time, the clamping members 216 of the first bending mechanism 21a and the third bending mechanism 21c are simultaneously pressed on the upper and lower surfaces of the product 200, and the bending member 217 of the second bending mechanism 21b bends the right side of the product upward.

[0089] The above is just an example to illustrate the action principle diagram of bending upward and bending downward. The third bending mechanism 21c can also be located on the right side of the first bending mechanism 21a, or below the product. The bending principle and the method of driving the bending mechanism 21 to move are similar and will not be repeated here.

[0090] Embodiment three:

[0091] Embodiments 1 and 2 are bending devices designed for structures that form bends at the bends. In actual bending, three bending mechanisms 21 are required to cooperate with each other to complete the lower and upper bending action. However, for the shallower bending groove of the V-shaped bend formed on the product, only two bending mechanisms are needed to complete it. Therefore, only two bending mechanisms 21 are set in Embodiment 3, and the bending mechanisms 21 have the same structure as those in Embodiments 1 and 2, but the layout is different. The two bending mechanisms 21 include a first bending mechanism 21a working above the product and a second bending mechanism 21b working below the product, and the driving mechanism 22 includes a fifth X-axis driving module that drives the first bending mechanism 21a to move along the X direction and a sixth X-axis driving module that drives the second bending mechanism 21b to move along the X direction.

[0092] In this embodiment, the pressing member is a first pressing member 2161, and at least one first pressing head 2163 is disposed on the first pressing member 2161. Fig. 22 As shown, during bending, the first clamping member 2161 of the second bending mechanism 21b is pressed against the lower side of the product, and the bending member 217 of the first bending mechanism 21a is pressed against the upper side of the product, and the bending member 217 is on the same straight line relative to the upper and lower parts. The bending member 217 bends upward or downward to form a V-shaped bend. Generally, the bending groove of the V-shaped bend formed on the product is shallow, which can be used as a pre-bending action before bending.

[0093] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
