Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to a flexible board bending machine, and in particular to a flexible board bending device and a bending method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A soft board bending machine is a device used to bend soft boards. It is mostly used for bending small parts that need to be welded. There are usually two types of soft board bending machines. One is fully automatic and does not require manual operation. You only need to edit the program on the operating table and the machine can run autonomously. However, in actual use, when facing different bending requirements of parts, the control of spacing and bending angles is poor, and continuous debugging is required, which affects work efficiency. The other is semi-automatic and requires manual operation. Some simple operations are required, but the cost is relatively cheap, but the quality cannot be guaranteed, the accuracy is poor, and there is a possibility of damaged parts. However, for most existing bending equipment for parts, in actual work, fully automatic equipment can only bend a single part, and cannot bend multiple different parts at the same time, resulting in low work efficiency, and manual operation is even more time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, a soft board bending device and a bending method thereof are needed;

[0003] In the actual work of current bending equipment, most flexible board bending machines, even fully automatic equipment, can only bend a single component and cannot bend multiple different components at the same time, resulting in low work efficiency, and manual work is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a flexible board bending device and a bending method thereof, in order to overcome the problem that in the actual work of the existing bending equipment in the technical background, most flexible board bending machines, even if they are fully automatic equipment, can only bend a single component and cannot bend multiple different components at the same time, resulting in low work efficiency, and manual work is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: it includes an electromagnetic suction cup, characterized in that a mounting hole is provided on one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup, a limiting hole is provided on one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup, a sinking groove is provided on one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup, a first slide groove is provided on one side surface of the sinking groove, a second slide groove is provided on one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup, a push block B is slidably connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup, a push block D is slidably connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup, a push block E is slidably connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup, a push block F is slidably connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup, and a push block G is slidably connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup.

[0006] Preferably, a push block C is slidably connected to the inner surface of the first slide groove, and a push block A is slidably connected to a side surface of the second slide groove.

[0007] Preferably, the push block C and the electromagnetic chuck have strong magnetic attraction, and the push block A and the electromagnetic chuck have strong magnetic attraction.

[0008] Preferably, one side surface of the electromagnetic chuck is magnetically connected with push blocks A, B, C, D, E, F and G, which are strongly magnetically attracted to the electromagnetic chuck.

[0009] Preferably, one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup is fixedly connected to a first connecting column, one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup is fixedly connected to a second connecting column, one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup is fixedly connected to a third connecting column, one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup is fixedly connected to a fourth connecting column, and one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup is fixedly connected to a fifth connecting column.

[0010] Preferably, the first connecting column, the second connecting column, the third connecting column, the fourth connecting column and the fifth connecting column have the same shape and material but different sizes, and are all made of SUS stainless steel.

[0011] Preferably, the number of the first connecting posts is four, the number of the second connecting posts is twelve, the number of the third connecting posts is twenty, the number of the fourth connecting posts is twelve, and the number of the fifth connecting posts is sixteen.

[0012] Preferably, the bending method is as follows:

[0013] S1. First, fix the electromagnetic chuck on the operating table;

[0014] S2. In the preparation stage, when the power is cut off, any workpiece A to G on the electromagnetic chuck can be slid to adjust the bending angle position. According to the bending requirements of the parts, the parts to be bent can be placed on any of the suitable workpieces A to G;

[0015] S3. Seven parts of different sizes can be bent at the same time. When the power is turned on, the electromagnetic chuck can apply suction force to the parts, and the parts can be bent by any CNC operating equipment or semi-automatic tools;

[0016] S4. Turn off the power and remove it quickly.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The existing flexible board materials or parts that need to be bent are mostly clamped in the form of clamps. The main body is first aligned and clamped, and then the bending parts are aligned for operation. During this period, manual or equipment measurement is required to calculate the distance or adjust the bending angle. The bending device directly connects it to the operating table without the need for additional equipment or larger machinery, avoiding the problem of difficult maintenance, and also reducing the cost and time of maintenance.

[0019] 2. Most of the existing ones can only perform a single operation on a single soft board or a single component. During the operation, the fully automatic equipment needs to be debugged while constantly replacing components. The operation is cumbersome and the efficiency is slow. The semi-automatic equipment requires manual operation, which is even more inefficient. In addition, the angle needs to be manually controlled after clamping, and its quality is difficult to guarantee. The device can solve these problems in the above-mentioned prior art. The same electromagnetic chuck can directly operate on seven different workpieces at the same time, which can meet the production capacity requirements of normal work. In addition, the device is simple to operate, fast and more efficient when adjusted.

[0020] 3. The existing bending method using clamping may cause the plate or parts to wear or damage, and there is a loss rate and high cost. However, this device uses magnetic adsorption, which does not wear the parts or plates, nor does it damage the plates. During operation, it can be firmly fixed in the current position. As long as the power supply is in a normal state, its adsorption force will continue to be maintained and it is not easy to fall off, which can ensure accuracy and quality. When using a strong magnetic electromagnetic suction cup, only a simple power switch operation is required to quickly adsorb or release the object. Traditional lifting tools often require manual operation, which increases the work intensity and time cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] This embodiment discloses a flexible board bending device and a bending method thereof, as shown in the attached Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes an electromagnetic suction cup 1, which is characterized in that a mounting hole 2 is provided on one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, a limiting hole 3 is provided on one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, a sinking groove 4 is provided on one side surface of the sinking groove 4, a first slide groove 5 is provided on one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, a second slide groove 6 is provided on one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, a push block B13 is slidably connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, a push block D15 is slidably connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, a push block E16 is slidably connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, a push block F17 is slidably connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, and a push block G18 is slidably connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, through the above-mentioned electromagnetic suction cup 1, the mounting hole 2, the limiting hole 3, the sinking groove 4, the first slide groove 5, the second slide groove 6, the push block B13, The setting of push block D15, push block E16, push block F17 and push block G18, in the actual operation process, first install hole 2 and limit hole 3 to make the electromagnetic suction cup 1 more firmly connected to the equipment and the position will not move, and then the sinking groove 4 is prepared for the requirements of special workpieces, so that it can be suitable for more parts bending needs, when the electromagnetic suction cup 1 is connected to the power supply, when the power is turned on, the push block B13, push block D15, push block E16, push block F17 and push block G18 above the electromagnetic suction cup 1 can be strongly magnetically adsorbed to make it firmly fixed in the current position, as long as the power is in normal state, its adsorption force will continue to maintain and it is not easy to fall off, when the power is turned off, it can be easily moved and removed by hand, which is very convenient when the position needs to be adjusted according to the parts.

[0030] Furthermore, a push block C14 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the first slide groove 5, and a push block A12 is slidably connected to the side surface of the second slide groove 6. Through the arrangement of the first slide groove 5 and the second slide groove 6, it is more convenient and quick to adjust the position.

[0031] Furthermore, the push block C14 and the electromagnetic chuck 1 have strong magnetic attraction, and the push block A12 and the electromagnetic chuck 1 have strong magnetic attraction. Through the setting of the push block C14 and the push block A12, the position fixation is more accurate and more firm.

[0032] Furthermore, one side surface of the electromagnetic chuck 1 is magnetically connected with push blocks A12, B13, C14, D15, E16, F17 and G18, which are strongly magnetically attracted to the electromagnetic chuck 1. Through the above arrangement, it can meet the bending needs of more parts and components, making it more widely applicable.

[0033] Furthermore, a first connecting column 7 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, a second connecting column 8 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, a third connecting column 9 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, a fourth connecting column 10 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, and a fifth connecting column 11 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the electromagnetic suction cup 1. Through the arrangement of the electromagnetic suction cup 1, the first connecting column 7, the second connecting column 8, the third connecting column 9, the fourth connecting column 10 and the fifth connecting column 11, in actual use and production, the arrangement of the first connecting column 7 can make it stackable without wearing the workpiece on the electromagnetic suction cup 1, and they also have a common function, which makes the workpiece fit more closely when bending, and the bending effect is better.

[0034] Furthermore, the first connecting column 7 , the second connecting column 8 , the third connecting column 9 , the fourth connecting column 10 and the fifth connecting column 11 have the same shape and material but different sizes, and are all made of SUS303 stainless steel.

[0035] Furthermore, there are 4 first connecting posts 7 , 12 second connecting posts 8 , 20 third connecting posts 9 , 12 fourth connecting posts 10 , and 16 fifth connecting posts 11 .

[0036] Further, the bending method is as follows:

[0037] S1. First, fix the electromagnetic chuck 1 on the operating table;

[0038] S2. In the preparation stage, when the power is cut off, any workpiece A to G on the electromagnetic chuck 1 can be slid to adjust the bending angle position. According to the bending requirements of the parts, the parts to be bent can be placed on any of the suitable workpieces A to G;

[0039] S3, can bend seven parts of different models and sizes at the same time. When the power is turned on, the electromagnetic chuck 1 can apply adsorption force to the parts, and the parts can be bent by any CNC operating equipment or semi-automatic tools;

[0040] S4. Turn off the power and remove it quickly.

[0041] Through the setting of the above bending method, in actual operation, after the electromagnetic chuck 1 is installed with the equipment, it is necessary to check whether the appearance of the equipment is damaged and whether the components are firmly connected. Pay special attention to whether the bending mold is installed correctly, whether it is loose or worn, check the electrical system, ensure that the power cord is connected normally, without damage or leakage, ensure that the power connection is normal, and whether the voltage meets the equipment requirements (usually 220V 50HZ). Perform a bending test on it according to the needs, set the test angle and record it, and then after the preparation is completed, ensure that the surface of the soft board is clean, free of oil, dust and other impurities, and determine the bending requirements, select a suitable bending mold, such as one of the seven molds of AG, and adjust it according to the thickness and bending angle. The mold should be kept clean, without damage or deformation. It should be noted that it is not allowed to be bent directly on the plate through hole to avoid affecting the reliability. All work is carried out when the power is not turned on. After the preparation is completed, turn on the power, and the electromagnetic chuck 1 can continue to apply adsorption force to it. The design of the electromagnetic chuck makes it safer when adsorbing metal objects. As long as the power supply is normal, its adsorption force will be maintained continuously and it is not easy to fall off accidentally. When using the strong magnetic electromagnetic suction cup 1, you only need to operate the power switch to quickly adsorb or release the object.

[0042] Working principle: First of all, before the start of preparation, fix the electromagnetic chuck 1 on the operating table. The installation hole 2 and the limit hole 3 on the electromagnetic chuck 1 are to make the electromagnetic chuck 1 more firmly connected to the equipment and the position will not move. Then the sinking groove 4 is prepared for the requirements of special workpieces, so that it can be applied to more parts bending needs. In the preparation stage, after the electromagnetic chuck 1 is installed with the equipment, it is necessary to check whether the appearance of the equipment is damaged and whether the connections of each component are firm. Pay special attention to whether the bending mold is installed correctly, whether it is loose or worn, check the electrical system, ensure that the power cord is connected normally, without damage or leakage, ensure that the power connection is normal, and whether the voltage meets the equipment requirements. According to the needs, first perform a bending test, set the test angle and record it, and then after the preparation is completed, ensure that the surface of the soft board is clean, free of oil, dust and other impurities, and determine the bending requirements, select a suitable bending mold, such as one of AG's seven molds, and adjust it according to the thickness and bending angle. The mold should be kept clean and not damaged or deformed. It should be noted that bending cannot be performed directly on the plate through-hole to avoid affecting the reliability. All work is performed when the power is not turned on. When using the strong magnetic electromagnetic chuck 1, only a simple power switch operation is required to quickly absorb or release the object. Any workpiece A to G on the electromagnetic chuck 1 can be slid to adjust the bending angle position. According to the bending requirements of the parts, the parts to be bent can be placed on any of the suitable workpieces A to G. When the electromagnetic chuck 1 is connected to the power supply, when the power is turned on, the push blocks A12, B13, C14, D15, E16, F17, and G18 above the electromagnetic chuck 1 can be strongly magnetically adsorbed to fix them firmly in the current position. As long as the power is in normal condition, its adsorption force will continue to be maintained and it is not easy to fall off. Seven parts of different models and sizes can be bent at the same time. When the power is turned off, they can be easily moved and removed by hand. It is very convenient when the position needs to be adjusted according to the parts.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from them are still within the protection scope of the invention.
