Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aviation seat accessories, and in particular relates to an automated stamping device and method for an aviation seat multimedia touch screen controller shell. Background Art

[0002] Stamping is a process that uses stamping dies to form sheet metal. Stamping machinery applies pressure to the sheet metal, causing it to plastically deform under the action of the die, ultimately yielding the desired finished product. In the aerospace industry, stamping parts are widely used in the manufacture of aircraft structural components, such as the housings for multimedia touchscreen controllers in aircraft seats.

[0003] The role of the aircraft seat multimedia touchscreen controller housing is primarily reflected in the following aspects: 1) Protecting Internal Components: The housing's primary function is to protect the multimedia touchscreen controller components within. These components are highly delicate and susceptible to physical damage and environmental influences. The housing provides a rugged shield, protecting the touchscreen controller from external factors such as shock, vibration, and liquids. 2) Providing an operational interface: The housing is typically designed with a touchscreen, allowing passengers to interact with the aircraft seat's multimedia system. Passengers can browse various information, watch movies, listen to music, or play games through the touchscreen, greatly enriching their travel experience. 3) Enhancing the User Experience: The housing design also takes ergonomics and aesthetics into consideration, ensuring comfortable operation while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance. This contributes to an overall enhanced passenger experience. 4) Adapting to Different Environments: The housing's material and design are typically designed to withstand the diverse conditions of the aviation environment, such as changes in air pressure and temperature. This ensures that the multimedia touchscreen controller functions properly under various flight conditions. 5) Integrating Other Functions: In advanced designs, the housing may also integrate other functions, such as emergency information displays and passenger status monitoring. These functions are implemented through screens or other indicators on the outer shell, providing important information and guidance to passengers and crew.

[0004] Traditional automated stamping equipment for aircraft seat multimedia touchscreen controller housings has been found to have shortcomings. First, it cannot automatically stamp these housings in batches, resulting in a low degree of automation and inefficiency. Second, the existing aircraft seat multimedia touchscreen controller housings produced by these equipment have a single function and cannot meet the protective requirements of large-scale multimedia touchscreen controllers, nor can they be used as aircraft seat dining tables. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the traditional automated stamping equipment for aircraft seat multimedia touchscreen controller housings. Summary of the Invention

The eighth push rod 112 is mounted on the outer side of the slider of the folding linear guide pair 111. The movable end of the eighth push rod 112 is fixed to the mounting bracket 113. The folding positioning column 114 is fixed to the lower portion of the mounting bracket 113. The folding motor 115 is fixed to the upper portion of the mounting bracket 113. The output shaft of the folding motor 115 is movably mounted with the first folding pressure rod 117 and the second folding pressure rod 118, which can rotate around their own axes, via the flap 116.

[0087] The folding positioning column 114 is located at the periphery of the rotating area where the first folding pressure rod 117 is located, and the minimum gap value between the rotating area where the first folding pressure rod 117 is located and the folding positioning column 114 is greater than the thickness value of the ring body of the open hinge ring 129; the folding positioning column 114 is located at the inner periphery of the rotating area where the second folding pressure rod 118 is located, and the minimum gap value between the rotating area where the second folding pressure rod 118 is located and the folding positioning column 114 is equal to the thickness value of the ring body of the open hinge ring 129.

[0088] The working principle of the folding component 11 is as follows: the folding linear guide pair 111 of the folding component 11 drives the folding positioning column 114 to move longitudinally, and the eighth push rod 112 drives the folding positioning column 114 to move laterally. When the folding positioning column 114 reaches the set position and the bending component 10 bends the plate in the U-shaped groove 124, the folding motor 115 of the folding component 11 is activated. The folding motor 115 drives the first folding pressure rod 117 and the second folding pressure rod 118 to rotate through the flip plate 116. The first folding pressure rod 117 first contacts the bent plate and pushes it to perform a preliminary folding around the folding positioning column 114. Then the second folding pressure rod 118 contacts the preliminarily folded plate and pushes it to fold around the folding positioning column 114 to obtain an open hinge ring 129. The folding linear guide pair 111 and the eighth push rod 112 of the folding component 11 are in action, so that the folding positioning column 114 is disengaged from the open hinge ring 129 and reset. At this time, the outer shell body 121 can slide smoothly outward along the sliding plate seat 2 under the drive of the conveying component 3 to perform the unloading operation.
