Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of slotting machines, and in particular to a vertical slotting machine for processing metal plates. Background Art

[0002] Before bending a metal sheet, in order to facilitate bending with a small radius, a groover is usually used to continuously open multiple equidistant grooves on the metal sheet.

[0003] The slotting machine in the prior art usually includes a tool for slotting metal plates, a fixing mechanism for fixing the metal plates on a workbench, a feeding mechanism for driving the tool to move back and forth left and right, a feeding mechanism for equidistantly moving the metal plates so that the tool can slot equidistantly groove the metal plates, etc. After the metal plates are fixed on the workbench by the fixing mechanism, the feeding mechanism is started to drive the tool to move left and right to achieve slotting of the metal plates. After one slotting is completed, the fixing mechanism releases the fixation of the metal plates, and the feeding mechanism is started to move the metal plates a specific distance, and then the feeding mechanism is started to slot the metal plates, and so on, to achieve continuous equidistant slotting of the metal plates.

[0004] For example, the invention patent with application number CN201510328729.6, publication (announcement) number CN104874848B, and titled “Combined dual-mode metal sheet slotting machine” discloses “a feeding assembly, which includes a feeding motor, a first screw rod, a second screw rod, a first screw rod nut seat, a second screw rod nut seat, a feeding crossbeam, etc. The feeding crossbeam is installed on the first screw rod and the second screw rod, and under the action of the feeding motor, the first screw rod and the second screw rod push the first screw rod nut seat and the second screw rod nut seat synchronously and accurately. The feeding crossbeam includes at least one feeding presser foot, which includes a cylinder, a fixed lower clamp and a movable upper clamp. The cylinder is connected to the movable upper clamp to push the front end of the movable upper clamp to move up and down, so that the fixed lower clamp and the movable upper clamp can clamp the metal sheet through the cylinder. A tool holder assembly and a feeding mechanism are also disclosed. The tool holder assembly is driven by the feeding mechanism to move to realize the grooving of the metal sheet by the tool, and the feeding assembly is cooperated to realize the equidistant movement of the metal sheet, so as to realize the equidistant grooving of the metal sheet.

[0005] However, the inventors found in the actual operation process that the prior art and the above patents have the same drawbacks: in a complete groove planing cycle of the metal sheet, the prior art needs to sequentially perform equidistant feeding of the metal sheet, fixation of the metal sheet, groove planing, release of the metal sheet fixation, re-feeding of the metal sheet, and so on. It can be seen that each process in the prior art is performed separately, not only each process needs to consume its own working time, but also there is a time difference between each process, all of which result in a longer complete groove planing cycle time in the prior art, thereby seriously prolonging the groove planing speed of the metal sheet. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vertical slotting machine for metal plate processing to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A vertical slotting machine for processing metal plates, comprising a machine body, a workbench for placing metal plates, a fixing mechanism for fixing metal plates, and a feeding mechanism for equidistantly moving metal plates, the fixing mechanism comprising a fixing part rotatably arranged on the machine body and a servo cylinder fixedly installed on the machine body, the fixing part is located above the metal plate, and the power output end of the servo cylinder is linked to the eccentric position of the fixing part through a U-shaped frame so that the servo cylinder can drive the fixing part to rotate;

[0008] The feeding mechanism includes a fixedly connected feed plate and a clamping cylinder, the feed plate is slidably connected to the machine body, the fixing part and the feed plate are linked by a linkage mechanism, and the servo cylinder drives the fixing part to rotate upward to release the fixation of the metal sheet, and the fixing part drives the linkage mechanism to push the feed plate to slide a specific distance so that the clamping cylinder pulls the metal sheet to move a specific distance; the servo cylinder drives the fixing part to rotate downward to squeeze and fix the metal sheet, and the fixing part drives the linkage mechanism to reset.

[0011] In the above-mentioned vertical slotting machine for processing metal sheets, the number of the fixing mechanisms and the number of the feeding mechanisms are both multiple and correspond one to one.

[0012] The above-mentioned vertical grooving machine for processing metal plates has a blocking rod provided on the machine body, and the blocking rod is in sliding abutment with the bottom surface of the force plate. In the initial state, the bottom surface of the force plate does not contact the blocking rod. After the grooving of the metal plate is completed, the fixing part rotates downward to drive the push plate to pull the force plate to move so that the bottom surface of the force plate abuts against the blocking rod and the force plate is driven to rotate upward under the blocking action of the blocking rod to separate the free end of the force plate from the gap.

[0013] In the above-mentioned vertical slotting machine for processing metal plates, a reset rod is fixedly installed on both sides of the feed plate, and a stop head is fixedly provided at the free end of the reset rod. An auxiliary rod is placed on the machine body through a placement frame. When the free end of the force plate is separated from the interval, the auxiliary rod is abutted against the inner side surfaces of the two stop heads and the auxiliary rod is pulled outward to drive the feed plate to slide outward until the feed plate is reset.

[0014] In the above-mentioned vertical slotting machine for processing metal plates, a protruding plate is fixedly installed on the fixing part, and an extension plate matching the protruding plate is fixedly arranged on the feed plate.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. In the above technical scheme, the present invention provides a vertical slotting machine for processing metal plates, which can fix and release the metal plates in the form of rotation by rotating the fixing parts, and can fix and release the metal plates by fixing the clamping cylinder on the sliding feed plate, and can cleverly link the fixing parts and the feed plate through the linkage mechanism, so that in the process of the fixing parts rotating upward to release the metal plates, the feeding mechanism can simultaneously achieve the purpose of moving the metal plates by a specific distance, and the process of releasing the metal plates by the fixing mechanism and the equidistant movement of the metal plates by the feeding mechanism are combined, so that only the time of releasing the metal plates is consumed, and the time required for the feeding mechanism to move the metal plates is saved, and there is no time difference between the two processes, so that the time required for a complete slotting cycle can be effectively shortened, and the speed of the metal plates to complete the slotting can be increased, which can effectively solve the shortcomings of the prior art; when the fixing parts rotate downward to fix the metal plates again, the rotation of the fixing parts drives the linkage mechanism to reset, so that the linkage mechanism pulls the metal plates to move equidistantly next time;

[0020] 2. Furthermore, since the feeding mechanism moves the metal sheet by rotating the fixed part, not only the movement of the metal sheet is more timely, but also no additional driving source is required when the metal sheet moves, thereby effectively reducing the use of the driving source and saving manufacturing and maintenance costs;

[0021] 3. The present invention provides a blocking rod so that when the fixing member rotates upward, the force-applying plate can be kept separated from the interval, thereby not hindering the resetting of the feed plate and the clamping cylinder. It can be seen that the upward rotation of the fixing member also serves to release the insertion relationship between the force-applying plate and the interval;

[0022] 4. In the present invention, by fixing a protruding plate on the fixing member, the fixing member will drive the protruding plate to squeeze the fixed extension plate during the upward rotation of the fixing member, thereby increasing the sliding resistance of the feed plate to fix the feed plate. When the metal sheet is inserted into the clamping cylinder, the feed plate cannot be pushed to slide, thereby not causing the planing position of the metal sheet to deviate. It can be seen that the invention can effectively solve the technical problem of the planing position deviation of the metal sheet when the metal sheet is placed by the upward rotation of the fixing member;

[0023] 5. In the present invention, the setting of the raised plate is cleverly utilized, so that in the process of the fixing member rotating upward, the metal sheet can not only be separated from the clamping cylinder first, but also the raised plate can be driven to continuously approach the metal sheet and press the metal sheet downward to separate the bottom surface of the metal sheet from the top surface of the workbench, thereby creating a space between the bottom surface of the metal sheet and the top surface of the workbench, so as to facilitate the removal of the metal sheet, which can effectively solve the technical problem in the prior art that there is no operating space at the bottom of the metal sheet when removing the metal sheet. It can be seen that the present invention can achieve a variety of unexpected technical effects only through the rotation of the fixing member, greatly improving the utilization rate of the servo cylinder.

[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] like Figure 1-13As shown, a vertical slotting machine for metal plate processing provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises a machine body 1, a workbench 2 for placing a metal plate 16, a fixing mechanism for fixing the metal plate 16, and a feeding mechanism for equidistantly moving the metal plate 16;

[0042] The fixing mechanism includes a fixing part 3 rotatably arranged on the machine body 1 and a servo cylinder 14 fixedly installed on the machine body 1. The fixing part 3 is located above the metal plate 16. The power output end of the servo cylinder 14 is linked to the eccentric position of the fixing part 3 through the U-shaped frame 5 so that the servo cylinder 14 can drive the fixing part 3 to rotate.

[0043] The feeding mechanism includes a fixedly connected feed plate 11 and a clamping cylinder 10. The feed plate 11 is slidably connected to the machine body 1. The fixing part 3 is linked to the feed plate 11 through a linkage mechanism. The servo cylinder 14 drives the fixing part 3 to rotate upward to release the fixation of the metal sheet 16. The fixing part 3 drives the linkage mechanism to push the feed plate 11 to slide a specific distance so that the clamping cylinder 10 pulls the metal sheet 16 to move a specific distance. In the process of the servo cylinder 14 driving the fixing part 3 to rotate downward to squeeze and fix the metal sheet 16, the fixing part 3 drives the linkage mechanism to reset.

[0044] The vertical slotting machine for metal sheet processing provided in this embodiment is used to perform equidistant and continuous slotting on metal sheets. The words related to directions and positions in this embodiment are relative to the attached drawings. Specifically, the workbench 2 is fixedly mounted on the machine body 1 and is used to place the metal sheet 16. The machine body 1 is provided with a feeding mechanism which is not shown in the figure. The power output end of the feeding mechanism is connected to a tool holder assembly 19, which is driven by the feeding mechanism to slide back and forth left and right, thereby realizing the slotting of the metal sheet 16 by the tool holder assembly 19. The feeding mechanism, the tool holder assembly 19 and the connection method between the two are all prior art and will not be described here. The fixing mechanism cooperates with the workbench 2 to clamp and fix the metal sheet 16 between the fixing mechanism and the workbench 2. The servo cylinder 14 in the fixing mechanism is used to drive the fixing part 3 to rotate, and the fixing part 3 is used to squeeze and fix the metal plate 16, wherein the power output end of the servo cylinder 14 is connected to a U-shaped frame 5, and the U-shaped frame 5 is rotationally connected to the eccentric position of the fixing part 3, so that when the servo cylinder 14 is started, the U-shaped frame 5 is driven to move upward or downward, and when the U-shaped frame 5 moves upward, it drives the fixing part 3 to rotate upward, and when the U-shaped frame 5 moves downward, it drives the fixing part 3 to rotate downward. More specifically, a rectangular hole 303 offset from the rotation center of the fixing part 3 is opened on the fixing part 3, and a push-pull round rod 4 is slidably inserted in the rectangular hole 303, and the push-pull round rod 4 is connected to the U-shaped frame 5, and the outer peripheral surface of the push-pull round rod 4 is slidably abutted against the upper and lower inner walls of the rectangular hole 303, and the length of the rectangular hole 303 is greater than the diameter of the push-pull round rod 4 to provide sliding space for the push-pull round rod 4. When the U-shaped frame 5 is driven upward by the servo cylinder 14, the U-shaped frame 5 drives the push-pull round rod 4 to move upward synchronously. The upward movement of the push-pull round rod 4 causes the push-pull round rod 4 to pull the fixing part 3 upward to rotate while sliding in the rectangular hole 303; similarly, when the U-shaped frame 5 is driven downward by the servo cylinder 14, the U-shaped frame 5 drives the push-pull round rod 4 to move downward synchronously. The downward movement of the push-pull round rod 4 causes the push-pull round rod 4 to push the fixing part 3 downward to rotate while sliding in the rectangular hole 303, so that the fixing part 3 can be driven by the servo cylinder 14 to rotate upward and downward.

[0045] The feeding mechanism is used to clamp the metal sheet 16 and move the metal sheet 16 a specific distance so that the metal sheet 16 is grooved equidistantly by the tool holder assembly 19. The feeding mechanism cooperates with the fixing mechanism. When the fixing mechanism presses and fixes the metal sheet 16, the feeding mechanism does not move the metal sheet 16. When the fixing mechanism releases the fixation of the metal sheet 16, the feeding mechanism moves the metal sheet 16 equidistantly. The feed plate 11 and the clamping cylinder 10 in the feeding mechanism are fixedly connected. The clamping cylinder 10 is fixedly installed at the end of the feed plate 11, and the clamping cylinder 10 is staggered with the fixing part 3. The clamping cylinder 10 is used to clamp the metal sheet 16. The feed plate 11 is used to support the clamping cylinder 10 and drive the clamping cylinder 10 to move by the movement of the feed plate 11. The movement of the clamping cylinder 10 realizes the movement of the metal sheet 16. The movement of the feed plate 11 is driven by a linkage mechanism, and the power of the linkage mechanism is provided by the rotation of the fixing part 3. An ingenious linkage relationship is established between the fixing part 3 and the feed plate 11 through the linkage mechanism, namely: when the servo cylinder 14 drives the fixing part 3 to rotate upward to release the fixation of the metal sheet 16, the fixing part 3 drives the linkage mechanism to push the feed plate 11 to slide a specific distance so that the clamping cylinder 10 pulls the metal sheet 16 to move a specific distance; when the servo cylinder 14 drives the fixing part 3 to rotate downward to squeeze and fix the metal sheet 16, the fixing part 3 drives the linkage mechanism to reset. Its working principle is as follows: first, place the metal sheet 16 on the workbench 2 and insert it into the clamping cylinder 10, then start the clamping cylinder 10 to clamp the metal sheet 16, then start the servo cylinder 14 to drive the fixing part 3 to rotate downward until the fixing part 3 presses and fixes the metal sheet 16, then start the feeding mechanism to drive the tool holder assembly 19 to move so that the tool holder assembly 19 grooves the metal sheet 16. After the groove is completed once, start the servo cylinder 14 again to drive the fixing part 3 to rotate upward to contact and fix the metal sheet 16. At the same time, the fixing part 3 During the upward rotation process, the linkage mechanism is driven to push the feed plate 11 to slide a specific distance so that the clamping cylinder 10 pulls the metal sheet 16 to move a specific distance. Then the servo cylinder 14 directly drives the fixing part 3 to rotate downward again so that the fixing part 3 fixes the metal sheet 16 again. During the downward rotation of the fixing part 3, the fixing part 3 drives the linkage mechanism to reset, and the feed plate 11 and the metal sheet 16 remain stationary. Then the feeding mechanism is started to drive the tool holder assembly 19 to move so that the tool holder assembly 19 grooves the metal sheet 16 again, and so on.

[0046] Thus, it can be seen that in the present invention, the fixing member 3 is rotated so that the fixing member 3 can fix and release the metal plate 16 in the form of rotation, and the clamping cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the sliding feed plate 11, and the fixing member 3 and the feed plate 11 are cleverly linked through the linkage mechanism, so that in the process of the fixing member 3 rotating upward to release the fixation of the metal plate 16, the feeding mechanism can simultaneously achieve the purpose of moving the metal plate 16 to a specific distance, and the process of releasing the fixation of the metal plate 16 by the fixing mechanism and the equidistant movement of the metal plate 16 by the feeding mechanism are combined, so that only the time for the process of releasing the fixation of the metal plate 16 is consumed, and the time required for the feeding mechanism to move the metal plate 16 is saved, and there is no time difference between the two processes, thereby effectively shortening the time required for a complete groove planing cycle, and increasing the speed at which the metal plate 16 completes the groove planing, which can effectively solve the deficiencies in the prior art; when the fixing member 3 rotates downward to fix the metal plate 16 again, the rotation of the fixing member 3 drives the linkage mechanism to reset, so that the linkage mechanism pulls the metal plate 16 to move equidistantly next time.

[0047] Furthermore, since the feeding mechanism moves the metal plate 16 by rotating the fixing part 3, not only the movement of the metal plate 16 is more timely, but also no additional driving source is required when the metal plate 16 moves, thereby effectively reducing the use of the driving source and saving manufacturing cost and maintenance cost.

[0048] The second slide plates 12 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the feed plate 11 , and the inner wall of the machine body 1 is provided with a slide groove for the second slide plate 12 to slide into, thereby realizing a sliding connection between the feed plate 11 and the machine body 1 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the fixing member 3 includes a squeeze plate 301 and a gear roller 302 that are fixedly connected. The fixing member 3 rotates around the axis of the gear roller 302, and the bottom of the squeeze plate 301 squeezes and fixes the metal plate 16. Specifically, two support plates 13 corresponding to the gear roller 302 are fixedly installed on the body 1, and the gear roller 302 is rotatably installed between the two support plates 13, that is, one fixing member 3 is configured with two support plates 13. When the number of fixing members 3 is multiple, the support plates 13 have multiple groups, and the bottom surface of the squeeze plate 301 is tangent to the outer side surface of the gear roller 302.

[0050] In this embodiment, the linkage mechanism includes a push plate 6 and a force plate 7 that are rotatably connected. The push plate 6 is slidably connected to the body 1. The bottom of the push plate 6 is provided with linear teeth 601 that mesh with the tooth roller 302. The feed plate 11 is provided with a plurality of ridges 1101 in an equidistant array, and a gap is formed between two adjacent ridges 1101. A limit block 602 is fixedly installed on the push plate 6. In the initial state, the bottom of the force plate 7 is driven to abut against the limit block 602 based on its own gravity to prevent the force plate 7 from rotating downward. When the bottom of the force plate 7 abuts against the limit block 602, its free end is inserted into the gap. When the fixing member 3 rotates upward, the push plate 6 is driven to slide toward the force plate 7 to drive the free end of the force plate 7 to push the feed plate 11 to slide a specific distance. Specifically, the force plate 7 is rotatably connected to the push plate 6 via a rotating shaft 701, and a limit block 602 is fixedly mounted on the push plate 6 to limit the position of the force plate 7. In the initial state, the side surface of the force plate 7 abuts against the limit block 602, and the force plate 7 is freely tilted downward to form a specific angle with the push plate 6. At this time, the free end of the force plate 7 is located in the interval formed by the convex ridge 1101. When the fixing member 3 rotates upward, the fixing member 3 drives the push plate 6 to slide toward the force plate 7 based on the meshing of the tooth roller 302 and the linear tooth 601, and the force Since the plate 7 is in contact with the limit block 602, the force plate 7 cannot rotate downward, so the force plate 7 pushes the ridge 1101, so that the ridge 1101 drives the feed plate 11 to slide, and the feed plate 11 drives the clamping cylinder 10 to move, and the movement of the clamping cylinder 10 drives the metal plate 16 to move. The sliding distance of the feed plate 11 depends on the angle of the upward rotation of the fixing member 3. As long as the angle of the upward rotation of the fixing member 3 is the same each time, the distance moved by the metal plate 16 is the same, thereby achieving equidistant movement of the metal plate 16. The servo cylinder 14 is a servo cylinder or a servo electric cylinder, etc., which can accurately control the upward and downward rotation angles of the fixing member 3, and will not be repeated. On the contrary, when the fixing member 3 is rotated downward to reset, the tooth roller 302 drives the push plate 6 to slide in the direction away from the force plate 7, and the push plate 6 pulls the force plate 7 to move synchronously. Since the force plate 7 is not limited when moving in the direction of the push plate 6, the force plate 7 rotates upward to leave the gap formed by the ridge 1101 and moves synchronously with the push plate 6, while the feed plate 11 does not move. After the push plate 6 is reset, the free end of the force plate 7 is reinserted into the gap formed by the ridge 1101 under the action of its own gravity, so as to push the feed plate 11 to slide next time.

[0051] The number of fixing mechanisms and the number of feeding mechanisms are both multiple and correspond to each other, so as to improve the firmness of fixing the metal sheet 16 and the firmness of the feeding mechanism clamping the metal sheet 16. The multiple push plates 6 are fixedly connected by multiple fixing rods 8, and a first slide plate 9 is fixedly installed at both ends of the fixing rod 8. The first slide plate 9 is slidably connected to the body 1, so as to realize the sliding connection between the multiple push plates 6 and the body 1.

[0052] In this embodiment, a blocking rod 18 is provided on the machine body 1, and the blocking rod 18 is slidably abutted with the bottom surface of the force plate 7. In the initial state, the bottom surface of the force plate 7 does not contact the blocking rod 18. After the metal sheet 16 completes the grooving, the fixing member 3 rotates downward, driving the push plate 6 to pull the force plate 7 to move so that the bottom surface of the force plate 7 abuts against the blocking rod 18 and drives the force plate 7 to rotate upward under the blocking action of the blocking rod 18 so that the free end of the force plate 7 is separated from the gap. Specifically, after all the grooves of the metal sheet 16 are completed, the metal sheet 16 needs to be removed and the feed plate 11 and the clamping cylinder 10 need to be reset. However, since the force plate 7 is inserted in the gap formed by the convex ridge 1101, it will block the reset of the feed plate 11. Therefore, in the present invention, after the metal sheet 16 is removed, the servo cylinder 14 is started to drive the fixing member 3 to rotate upward, which will drive the push plate 6 and the force plate 7 to move toward the fixing member 3. The movement of the force plate 7 will abut against the blocking rod 18, and under the action of the blocking rod 18, the force plate 7 is pushed to rotate upward, so that the free end of the force plate 7 is pulled out from the gap. At this time, the force plate 7 will not cause obstruction to the feed plate 11, that is, the present invention uses the setting of the blocking rod 18 to enable the force plate 7 to remain separated from the gap when the fixing member 3 rotates upward, thereby not hindering the reset of the feed plate 11 and the clamping cylinder 10. It can be seen that the upward rotation of the fixing member 3 also plays a role in releasing the insertion relationship between the force plate 7 and the gap.

[0053] Furthermore, a reset rod 15 is fixedly installed on both sides of the feed plate 11, and a stopper 1501 is fixedly provided at the free end of the reset rod 15. An auxiliary rod 21 is placed on the machine body 1 through a placement rack 20. When the free end of the force plate 7 is separated from the interval, the auxiliary rod 21 is abutted against the inner side of the two stoppers 1501 and the auxiliary rod 21 is pulled outward to drive the feed plate 11 to slide outward until the feed plate 11 is reset. Specifically, when it is necessary to reset the feed plate 11 and the clamping cylinder 10, the auxiliary rod 21 is removed from the placement rack 20 and placed above the two reset rods 15 and on the inner side of the two stoppers 1501, and then the placement rack 20 is pulled outward to pull the feed plate 11 and the clamping cylinder 10 to reset. The metal sheet 16, the workbench 2, and the tool holder assembly 19 are all located between the two reset rods 15, and the presence of the reset rod 15 will not hinder the tool holder assembly 19 from grooving the metal sheet 16.

[0054] In this embodiment, a protruding plate 17 is fixedly installed on the fixing member 3, and an extension plate 1102 that cooperates with the protruding plate 17 is fixedly provided on the feed plate 11. In the initial state, the extension plate 1102 is located below the protruding plate 17. When the fixing member 3 rotates upward to drive the feeding mechanism to move the metal plate 16 a specific distance, the protruding plate 17 and the extension plate 1102 are not in contact. When the feed plate 11 is reset, the fixing member 3 rotates upward, driving the protruding plate 17 to continuously approach and squeeze the extension plate 1102 to achieve the extrusion fixation of the feed plate 11. Specifically, since the feed plate 11 and the machine body 1 are arranged to slide, when the metal plate 16 is placed on the workbench 2 and inserted into the clamping cylinder 10, the metal plate 16 will exert a pushing force on the clamping cylinder 10. When the pushing force is greater than the sliding resistance of the feed plate 11, the feed plate 11 will be pushed to slide, thereby causing a deviation in the planing position of the metal plate 16. For this reason, in the present invention, a protruding plate 17 is fixedly arranged on the fixing member 3, so that the protruding plate 17 will be driven to squeeze the fixed extension plate 1102 during the upward rotation of the fixing member 3, thereby increasing the sliding resistance of the feed plate 11 so that the feed plate 11 is fixed. When the metal plate 16 is inserted into the clamping cylinder 10, the feed plate 11 cannot be pushed to slide, thereby causing no deviation in the planing position of the metal plate 16. It can be seen that the invention can also effectively solve the technical problem of deviation in the planing position of the metal plate 16 when the metal plate 16 is placed by rotating the fixing member 3 upward.

[0055] Furthermore, when the metal sheet 16 is grooved, it is located below the raised plate 17, and the extension plate 1102 is offset from the raised plate 17, and the clamping cylinder 10 releases the clamping of the metal sheet 16. At this time, during the upward rotation of the fixing part 3, on the one hand, it drives the force plate 7 to push the feed plate 11 to slide and thereby drives the clamping cylinder 10 to be offset from the metal sheet 16; on the other hand, it drives the raised plate 17 to continuously approach the metal sheet 16 until it abuts against the metal sheet 16 and squeezes the metal sheet 16 downward to separate the bottom surface of the metal sheet 16 from the top surface of the workbench 2, thereby facilitating the removal of the metal sheet 16. Specifically, since the bottom surface of the metal sheet 16 is in contact with the top surface of the workbench 2, it is inconvenient to remove the metal sheet 16 due to lack of operating space. In the present invention, the protruding plate 17 is cleverly utilized so that during the upward rotation of the fixing member 3, not only can the metal sheet 16 be separated from the clamping cylinder 10 first, but the protruding plate 17 can also be driven to continuously approach the metal sheet 16 and press the metal sheet 16 downward to separate the bottom surface of the metal sheet 16 from the top surface of the workbench 2, thereby creating space between the bottom surface of the metal sheet 16 and the top surface of the workbench 2, so as to facilitate the removal of the metal sheet 16. This can effectively solve the technical problem in the prior art that there is no operating space at the bottom of the metal sheet 16, which causes inconvenience when removing the metal sheet 16.

[0056] The top surface of the workbench 2 is provided with a groove 201 corresponding to the extrusion plate 301 so that the extrusion plate 301 has enough space to rotate downward, ensuring that the free end of the force plate 7 can be separated from the ridge 1101 when the fixing member 3 rotates downward.

[0057] In this embodiment, the free end of the force plate 7 does not contact the ridges 1101 on its front and rear sides when inserted into the gap, so that after the fixing member 3 rotates upward to release the fixation of the metal plate 16, the force plate 7 will push the ridges 1101 to drive the feed plate 11 to slide, and then drive the metal plate 16 to move.

[0058] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
