[0037] Moreover, the machine body 1 has a conventional structure and is vertically arranged on the bottom surface of the production site. Grooves are formed in the lower die pressing blocks 90. The grooves are located in the upper part of the lower die pressing blocks 90 and have a certain depth to form bending grooves for bending the sheet metal. A plurality of lower die pressing blocks 90 are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction of the lower die mounting table, that is, the left - right direction of the machine body 1. The number of lower die pressing blocks 90 can be adjusted according to the size of the sheet metal. The serial numbers engraved on the lower die pressing blocks 90 are composed of parameters such as groove angles and chamfer radii of the groove inlet corners; The lower die pressing blocks 90 and the lower die mounting table 2 can be detachably connected by a conventional quick - release method. Preferably, a plurality of installation grooves are longitudinally formed at the top of the lower die mounting table. The installation grooves are quadrilateral. The bottom of the lower die pressing block 90 has installation blocks corresponding to the installation grooves. The fit between the installation blocks and the installation grooves is a precision fit with a tolerance grade of IT2 - IT5. There are pin holes that horizontally penetrate the lower die mounting table 2 and the installation grooves on the side wall of the lower die mounting table 2. Similarly, there are corresponding pin holes on the installation blocks, and there are also pin shafts that cooperate with the pin holes.

[0038] The end of the upper die pressing block 80 has a conventional angled shape, and the serial number engraved on the upper die pressing block 80 is composed of parameters such as the bending angle at its end and the bottom forming angle.

[0039] The hydraulic system also has conventional control valves such as solenoid valves, as well as auxiliary components such as an oil tank and an oil filter. Conventionally, there are two hydraulic cylinders 5, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the machine body 1 in the left - right direction of the machine body 1. The hydraulic cylinders 5 are fixedly connected to the machine body 1 by conventional bolts. The hydraulic cylinders 5 are driven by a hydraulic pump 4. The upper die mounting table 3 is movably connected to the machine body 1 in a conventional manner, such as by a moving rod guide rail slider.

[0041] The support frame 71 has a certain protruding height. The sliding block 70 can move along the insertion direction of the sheet metal. The end of the sliding block 70 can contact and block the sheet metal. The insertion depth of the sheet metal can be preset at the control center 6.

[0043] Embodiment 2: This embodiment provides an automatic sheet metal bending machine. In addition to including the technical solutions of the above - mentioned embodiment, it also has the following technical features. The hydraulic system also includes: a tubing connector 10, which is arranged at the connection end of the tubing for connecting adjacent tubing; Among them, the tubing connector 10 can cooperate with the tubing to form multiple seals.

[0044] The tubing connector 10 further includes: a main connector 100, on which there is a slot 101 for inserting the end of the tubing and an inserting tube 102 inserted into the tubing, and a sealing portion 103 capable of forming a sealing fit with the end face of the tubing is provided in the slot 101; a pipe clamp 104, which is clamped on the part of the tubing inserted by the inserting tube 102; a reinforcing sleeve 105, which is formed by two half cylinders wrapping around the outside of the main connector 100, and a convex ring 106 capable of closing the slot 101 and pressing the tubing is provided on the inner wall of the reinforcing sleeve 105, and a self-tightening ring 107 is provided at the end of the reinforcing sleeve 105; Wherein, the self-tightening ring 107 presses the tubing against the inserting tube 102 to prevent the tubing from loosening through a wedge-shaped structure when the tubing loosens.

[0045] Moreover, the tubing connector 10 can be installed at all connection ends of the hydraulic system, such as the connection of the tubing between the output end of the hydraulic pump 4 and the input end of the hydraulic cylinder 5. The pipe clamp 104 is a conventional pipe clamp for tubing. The main connector 100 is tubular. The outer diameter of the inserting tube 102 matches the inner diameter of the tubing. There is a coaxial annular protruding part in the middle of the inserting tube 102. The annular protruding part protrudes outward from the inserting tube 102, and the outer diameter of the annular protruding part is larger than the outer diameter of the tubing. The slot 101 is formed by an annular groove formed on the end face of the annular protruding part. The annular groove is axially distributed, and the inner diameter and outer diameter of the annular groove respectively match the inner diameter and outer diameter of the tubing. The sealing portion 103 is also annular and arranged at the inner end of the annular groove. Both sides of the half cylinder have conventional connecting lugs. The two half cylinders are connected to each other through the connecting lugs and bolt-nut cooperation to form the reinforcing sleeve 105. The inner diameter of the half cylinder matches the outer diameter of the annular protruding part in the middle of the inserting tube 102. The convex ring 106 protrudes towards the inserting tube 102. There are two convex rings 106 and they are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the half cylinder. The distance between the two convex rings 106 matches the axial length of the annular protruding part. The inner diameter of the convex ring 106 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the tubing to press the convex ring 106 against the surface of the inserting tube 102. Both ends of the half cylinder also have annular parts protruding towards the inserting tube 102, and an annular groove for installing the self-tightening ring 107 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the annular part protruding from the end of the half cylinder. The annular groove is radially distributed, and a wedge-shaped groove 108 is arranged on the bottom surface of the annular groove. The wedge-shaped groove 108 is an annular groove with a wedge-shaped cross section. The self-tightening ring 107 has an annular main body, and the self-tightening ring 107 also cooperates with the two half cylinders of the reinforcing sleeve 105 and is also composed of two semi-annular shapes. A number of wedge blocks 109 are distributed circumferentially on the side surface of the main body of the self-tightening ring 107. The main body of the self-tightening ring 107 and the bottom of the wedge blocks 109 cooperate with the annular groove at the end of the half cylinder and are embedded in the annular groove, while the top of the wedge blocks 109 cooperates with the wedge-shaped groove 108.

[0046] In this embodiment, when connecting adjacent oil pipes, the end parts of the two oil pipes are respectively inserted into the insertion pipes 102 at both ends of the main connector 100, and the end parts of the oil pipes are inserted into the slot 101. After the end parts of the oil pipes are inserted into the slot 101, they are attached to the sealing part 103 to form an additional seal. Then, the oil pipes are tightly clamped on the insertion pipes 102 through the pipe clamp 104, and the main seal is formed by the tightening of the pipe clamp 104. After the cooperation between the oil pipe and the main connector 100 is completed, the reinforcement sleeve 105 is sleeved on the outside of the main connector 100 and the oil pipe. After the reinforcement sleeve 105 is fixed, the convex ring 106 further presses the oil pipe tightly on the insertion pipe 102 to form an additional seal. At the same time, the convex ring 106 closes the side surface of the slot 101, and the self-tightening ring 107 can closely adhere to the surface of the oil pipe after the reinforcement sleeve 105 is fixed. When the oil pipe loosens, the self-tightening ring 107 moves along with the loosening trend of the oil pipe. Due to the design of the wedge-shaped structure, the self-tightening ring 107 cooperates with the wedge-shaped groove 108 at the end of the half cylinder. The farther the self-tightening ring 107 moves outward, the greater the pressure generated on the surface of the oil pipe, so that the resistance that needs to be overcome when the oil pipe loosens becomes larger, and finally self-tightening is realized to prevent the oil pipe from loosening. Compared with the prior art, the present invention can form multiple pressing seals at the connection of the oil pipes, and the connection stability of the oil pipes is high, and it is not easy to loosen, reducing the phenomenon of pressure fluctuation in the hydraulic system and improving the precision of sheet metal bending.

The piston cavity is connected to the external environment through the gas damping micropores, and the piston body 1122 can automatically reset after moving.

[0057] Moreover, the slow-release portion 11 can be installed in the connecting platform 81 in a conventional manner, such as a cavity and a groove body are opened in the connecting platform 81, one end of the cavity is connected to the socket 82, and there are slide grooves on the inner walls of both sides of the cavity, and an axle seat 13 is slidably installed in the slide groove. The back side of the axle seat 13 (i.e., the side away from the socket 82) is supported by an elastic member 17, and the elastic member 17 is a conventional elastic telescopic rod. The pressure wheel 110 is connected to the axle seat 13 through the wheel axle 14, and the pressure wheel 110 is elastically provided by the elastic member 17. The force of the groove body abuts against the surface of the connecting column 84 inserted into the socket 82. One end of the groove body close to the front surface of the connecting platform body is open and is equipped with a removable door cover. The groove body has a removable shaft support seat and a damping plate 1120 mounting block. The intermediate shaft 15 is rotatably installed in the shaft support seat. The intermediate shaft 15 is connected to the wheel shaft 14 in a one-way transmission manner in a conventional manner, such as through a ratchet ratchet structure. The terminal shaft 16 is rotatably installed in the damping plate 1120 mounting block. The terminal shaft 16 is connected to the intermediate shaft 14 in a conventional keyway manner. The intermediate shaft 15 is connected in transmission, the damping disc 1120 also has a disc cover arranged on its side, the disc cover and the damping disc 1120 are sealed to seal the piston cavity, the end shaft 16 extends into the damping disc 1120 and is connected to the piston rod 1123, the piston rod 1123 is composed of an arc-shaped rod body at one end and a straight rod body at one end, one end of the straight rod body is connected to the end shaft 16, and the other end is connected to the arc-shaped rod body, the end of the arc-shaped rod body away from the straight rod body is connected to the piston body 1122, and the arc-shaped piston cavity 1121 A conventional arc spring is provided therein, one end of which is connected to the end of the piston cavity, and the other end is connected to the piston body 1122. A cavity for cooperating with the rotation of the piston rod 1123 is also provided in the damping disk 1120. Preferably, there are two arc-shaped piston cavities 1121 evenly arranged along the circumference of the damping disk 1120. The gas damping micropores can be arranged on the side, circumferential surface or disk cover of the damping disk 1120. No special limitation is made here. The gas damping micropores only need to connect the piston cavity with the external environment.

[0058] In this embodiment, during the replacement and disassembly of the upper die pressing block 80, the fixing part 83 is controlled to operate. The hydraulic driving part 832 drives the central plate 833 to move and enables the link mechanism 834 to move. A plurality of grippers 830 gradually unfold and leave the fixing groove 850, thereby releasing the connecting block 85. After the connecting block 85 is released, the connecting column 84 and the upper die pressing block 80 drop downward under the action of gravity. At this time, as the connecting column 84 moves, the pressure wheel 110 in contact with its surface rotates simultaneously. The pressure wheel 110 rotates and drives the piston rod 1123 to rotate around the axis in the damping disc 1120 through each shaft. The piston body 1122 moves in the piston cavity as the piston rod 1123 rotates and compresses the air in the piston cavity. The compressed air is slowly released outward through the gas damping micropores to generate gas micropore damping. The rotation speed of the pressure wheel 110 is reversely controlled through the gas micropore damping, thereby controlling the falling speed of the connecting rod, so that the upper die pressing block 80 can be slowly released after the installation and fixation are released, providing enough time for the staff to pick up the released upper die pressing block 80, facilitating the replacement and disassembly operation of the upper die pressing block 80 by a single person. After the upper die pressing block 80 is completely released, the connecting column 84 leaves the insertion block. At this time, the elastic force of the arc spring enables the piston rod 1123 to reset to cope with the next replacement and disassembly. When installing the upper die pressing block 80, since the pressure wheel 110 is connected to the damping member 112 in a one-way transmission manner, the connecting column 84 will not be affected by the damping member 112 during the insertion process. At the same time, compared with the traditional friction damping method, the slow-release structure adopted by the present invention can effectively avoid the influence of wear, and the slow-release effect is stable.
