[0002] As one of the most common components in the car door lock system, the car door lock connecting rod is an important component that connects the door lock controller and the internal door lock mechanism. It is mainly used to convey the instructions of opening and closing the door lock and control the locking and unlocking operations of the car door. The car door lock connecting rod is usually formed by bending.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The driving part 41 includes a limiting slide 411, a first bidirectional screw 412, a first motor 413 and an alignment slider 414. A rod carrying groove for loading the rod to be bent is provided on the rod carrying seat 2. Several rod carrying seats 2 are located between the left-right symmetrical bearing seats 3. The upper end surface of the support base 1 is provided with a left-right symmetrical limiting slide 411. The left-right symmetrical bearing seats 3 are located between the left-right symmetrical limiting slides 411.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The alignment part 42 includes a limit plate 421, a guide slide 422 and an alignment plate 423. A limit plate 421 corresponding to the alignment slider 414 is fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the support base 1. A guide slide 422 is penetrated through the limit plate 421.

[0038] During the specific work, when it is necessary to bend multiple rods to be bent, the worker first places the rods to be bent in the rod carrying grooves of the rod carrying seat 2, so that the rod carrying grooves can preliminarily locate the positions of the rods. After the rods are loaded, the first motor 413 is started to rotate the first bidirectional screw 412, so that it can move synchronously to the rod carrying seat 2 through the alignment plate 423 with the left-right symmetrical alignment sliders 414 on the front and rear sides.

[0042] During specific operation, after the alignment of the rod members by the alignment mechanism 4 is completed, the second motor 523 is started to synchronously rotate the second bidirectional screw 522 under the rod carrier 2 through the transmission rod 524, and the second bidirectional screw 522 will bring the left and right symmetrical connecting plates 525 closer to each other, thereby bringing the two clamping sliders 512 corresponding to the first slide rail 511 closer to each other through the connecting plates 525, until the left and right symmetrical clamping sliders 512 fix the rod members in the clamping groove, thereby synchronously clamping and fixing the front and rear ends of multiple rod members to be bent, thereby ensuring the position stability of each rod member during the bending process.

[0044] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The matching part 54 includes a bracket 541, a central rotating shaft 542, a matching rod 543, a cylinder 544 and a slide groove 545. The bracket 541 is fixedly installed on the bearing seat 3 on the left side, and the cylinder 544 is hinged on the bracket 541. The central rotating shaft 542 is installed on the side of the bearing seat 3 close to each other through a bearing. The matching rod 543 is hinged on the central rotating shaft 542 and is hinged to the telescopic end of the cylinder 544. The matching rod 543 is penetrated by a slide groove 545 that is slidably connected to the corresponding force-bearing rod 534.

[0045] See also Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The guide portion 62 includes an inverted guide frame 621, a guide rod 622, a support block 623, a rotating sleeve 624 and a straightening rod 625. The upper end surface of the rod carrier 2 is fixedly installed with a left-right symmetrical inverted guide frame 621, a guide rod 622 is fixedly installed at the front end of the inverted guide frame 621, a support block 623 is fixedly installed on the clamping slider 512 located on the front side, and the left-right symmetrical support blocks 623 are hinged with a rotating sleeve 624 on one side close to each other through a torsion spring rod, and a straightening rod 625 is fixedly installed on the rotating sleeve 624. The left-right symmetrical guide rod 622 and the left-right symmetrical straightening rod 625 are both in an eight-shaped shape.

[0046] During specific operation, after the clamping part 51 cooperates with the power part 52 to complete the clamping and fixing of the rod, the cylinder 544 is in an unactivated state, and the cooperating rod 543 is in a tilted state. The front fixing cylinder 532 is located at the lower end of the second slide rail 531, and the rear fixing cylinder 532 is located at the upper end of the second slide rail 531. The two parts of the rod to be bent are just below and above the corresponding limiting semi-arc grooves, respectively.

[0047] At this time, the cylinder 544 is started to extend its telescopic end and bring the rear side of the matching rod 543 down, and the matching rod 543 rotates around the central shaft 542. At this time, the matching rod 543 brings the rear force-bearing rod 534 down through the lever action, so that the rear fixed cylinder 532 moves downward, and the fixed cylinder 532 will bring the bending semi-arc block 533 to squeeze the rear end of the rod downward, so that the rear end of the rod is bent with the second bending block 514 as the bending support point. The rear end of the rod is first fitted and then squeezed downward, thereby vertically limiting the bending direction of the rod. At the same time, the front side of the matching rod 543 will bring the front force-bearing rod 534 up, and the front fixed tube 532 will bring the bending semi-arc block 533 to squeeze the front end of the rod upward, thereby bending the front end of the rod with the first bending support block 513 as the bending support point, thereby simultaneously bending the two ends of the rod with the same force, thereby ensuring the consistency of the bending angle and shape of the two ends of the rod.

[0048] When the front side bending semi-arc block 533 moves upward and squeezes the front end of the rod, it will first contact the front end of the straightening rod 625, thereby pushing the straightening rod 625 upward to make it rotate upward with the torsion spring rod as the center point, and when the bending semi-arc block 533 no longer contacts the straightening rod 625, the straightening rod 625 will be reset under the action of the torsion spring rod, so that the left and right symmetrical straightening rods 625 straighten the front end of the rod after turning.

[0049] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 The transport part 61 includes a transport groove 611, a transport shaft 612 and a rubber roller 613.

[0050] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The synchronous part 63 includes a pulley 631, a third motor 632 and a belt 633. The lower end of one of the transport shafts 612 on each transport groove 611 is fixedly sleeved with a pulley 631.

The pulleys 631 are connected through a belt 633.

[0051] During specific operation, after the execution part 53 cooperates with the matching part 54 to complete the bending of the rod, the cylinder 544 is started to make it continue to rotate with the matching rod 543. At this time, the bent semi-arc block 533 on the front side will continue to rise and thus break away from the restriction on the car door lock connecting rod, and the bent semi-arc block 533 on the rear side moves down and breaks away from the car door lock connecting rod until the front fixing cylinder 532 is located at the uppermost end of the second slide rail 531, and the rear fixing cylinder 532 is located at the lowermost end of the second slide rail 531. At this time, the cylinder 544 can be stopped, and the second motor 523 can be started in reverse to cooperate with the clamping part 51 and the power part 52 to make the left and right symmetrical clamping sliders 512 move away from each other, and when the distance between the two clamping sliders 512 reaches a distance that can pass through the front end of the car door lock connecting rod, the second motor 523 is stopped.

[0052] At this time, the third motor 632 can be started to rotate one of the transport shafts 612 on the rod carrier seat 2 through the cooperation of the pulley 631 and the belt 633, so that it can transport the car door lock connecting rod backward with the rubber roller 613. In this process, the left-right symmetrical straightening rods 625 will first guide the upward vertical part of the front end of the car door lock connecting rod so that the vertical part can enter between the two clamping sliders 512, and continue to move the car door lock connecting rod. At this time, the left-right symmetrical guide rods 622 will guide the vertical part to the left and right Between the symmetrical inverted guide frames 621, the inverted guide frames 621 implement continuous limiting guidance for the automobile door lock link, continue to move the automobile door lock link so that its rear end passes over the rear alignment plate 423, and when the rubber roller 613 is separated from the automobile door lock link, the rear end of the automobile door lock link will slide down from the rear side with its front end due to the effect of gravity, thereby completing the synchronous transportation and discharge of multiple automobile door lock links, thereby reducing the time of manual handling, and then the above operation can be repeated to perform the bending operation of the next group of automobile door lock links.

[0053] See also Figure 1-9 Working principle: When it is necessary to bend multiple rods to be bent, the worker first places the rods of the car door lock connecting rod in the rod loading grooves of the rod loading seat 2 respectively. After the rods are loaded, the first motor 413 is started to automatically align the multiple rods through the alignment mechanism 4, and then the first motor 413 is started in reverse to reset the alignment plates 423 on the front and rear sides.

[0054] Then, the second motor 523 is started to synchronously clamp and fix the front and rear ends of the multiple rods to be bent through the clamping part 51 and the power part 52. Then, the cylinder 544 is started to synchronously bend the two ends of the rods with the same force through the execution part 53 and the matching part 54. After bending, the cylinder 544 is started again to make it continue to rotate with the matching rod 543 until the front fixed cylinder 532 is located at the uppermost end of the second slide rail 531, and the rear fixed cylinder 532 is located at the lowermost end of the second slide rail 531. At this time, the cylinder 544 can be stopped.

[0055] Then, the second motor 523 is started in reverse, and the clamping part 51 cooperates with the power part 52 to make the left and right symmetrical clamping sliders 512 move away from each other, and when the distance between the two clamping sliders 512 reaches a distance that can pass through the front end of the car door lock connecting rod, the second motor 523 is stopped.

[0056] Then start the third motor 632 to transport the car door lock connecting rod backward through the discharging mechanism 6, and guide it to the left and right symmetrical inverted guide frame 621 through the guide part 62, and continue to move the car door lock connecting rod so that its rear end passes over the rear alignment plate 423, and when the squeezing of the car door lock connecting rod by the rubber roller 613 disappears, the rear end of the car door lock connecting rod will slide down from the rear side with its front end due to the action of gravity, thereby completing the synchronous transportation and discharge of multiple car door lock connecting rods, and then the above operation can be repeated to perform the bending operation of the next group of car door lock connecting rods.
