Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum strip bending machine accessories, and in particular to an electrically controlled rapid mold detection and unloading mechanism for aluminum strip bending machines. Background Technology

[0002] In the powertrain architecture of new energy vehicles, aluminum busbars serve as key components for high-voltage electrical connections, undertaking the function of transmitting large currents between the charging interface and the power battery pack. Their typical operating parameters are a voltage range of 200-1000V and a maximum current load of 1000A. Compared to conventional copper busbar solutions, while aluminum's conductivity (IACS) of 62% is significantly lower than copper's 100% IACS, its superior mass density (2.7 g / cm²) combined with optimized irregular cross-section design allows for a 42.5% reduction in component mass under the same current-carrying conditions.

[0003] To accommodate the internal layout of different new energy vehicles, aluminum busbars need to be bent during production. To meet the different bending requirements of the aluminum busbars, multiple sets of bending dies need to be prepared at the same time. Currently, a circular array is used to install translation guide rails on the outside of the bending machine. The dies are moved onto the aluminum busbars by an electronically controlled adjustment seat on the translation guide rails, which works in conjunction with the bending machine to control the bending of the aluminum busbars.

[0004] However, this method requires a large number of guide rails and drive mechanisms to be installed on the outside of the bending machine, but the specifications and quantity are still relatively limited, and the later maintenance, replacement and inspection are quite troublesome. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem that this invention aims to solve is that the specifications and quantity of existing bending machine molds are still relatively limited, and subsequent maintenance, replacement, and inspection are quite troublesome.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: an electrically controlled rapid mold detection and unloading mechanism applied to an aluminum strip bending machine, including a bending machine body, a front telescopic head provided in the middle of the side wall of the bending machine body, a side-mounted guide rail fixedly mounted on the side wall of the bending machine body around the front telescopic head, an electrically controlled rotary central aluminum strip feeding head installed at the front end of the front telescopic head, an electrically controlled translation base for controlling the translation of the lateral bending mold slidably mounted on the outside of the side-mounted guide rail, and a rapid detection and unloading module installed on the side wall of the bending machine body at the outer end of the side-mounted guide rail.

[0007] The side-mounted guide rail has lateral sliding grooves at its upper and lower ends, and embedded translational toothed grooves are formed on the side wall of the side-mounted guide rail.

[0008] The electrically controlled translation base is movably assembled with the side-mounted guide rail by inserting sliders on the same side of the upper and lower ends into the lateral sliding groove.

[0009] The electrically controlled translation base includes a sliding mounting base, a translation adjustment motor installed inside the sliding mounting base, an embedded flip lock installed on the outer wall of the sliding mounting base, and a built-in worm gear assembly installed inside the sliding mounting base.

[0010] The rapid inspection and unloading module includes an arc-shaped guide rail fixed on the side wall of the bending machine body, an arc-shaped electronic control adjustment plate slidably mounted on the arc-shaped guide rail, a lateral assembly frame fixed on the side wall of the arc-shaped electronic control adjustment plate, a lateral inspection plate fixed on the outer surface of the arc-shaped guide rail, and an optical inspection module fixed on the lateral inspection plate.

[0011] An electrically controlled telescopic adjustment module is installed on the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped guide rail, and a lateral flip lock and a lateral worm gear assembly that cooperate with the electrically controlled telescopic adjustment module are installed on the inner side of the lateral assembly frame.

[0012] An infrared positioning module is fixedly mounted on the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped guide rail, and a positioning reflector that cooperates with the infrared positioning module is on the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped electronic control adjustment plate.

[0013] The arc-shaped electronic control adjustment plate includes an arc-shaped adjustment seat that is slidably mounted on an arc-shaped guide rail, an adjustment motor installed inside the arc-shaped adjustment seat, and an outer worm gear assembly.

[0014] An embedded infrared ranging control module is installed on the side wall of the lateral assembly frame.

[0015] The inner arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped guide rail is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove and an arc-shaped drive tooth groove that cooperate with the arc-shaped electronic control adjustment plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] (1) An electrically controlled rapid mold detection and unloading mechanism for an aluminum bending machine of the present invention is provided by installing a rapid detection and unloading module at the end of the side-mounted guide rail on the outside of the conventional bending machine. Multiple molds that can be quickly replaced can be set up through the rapid detection and unloading module, thereby increasing the number of molds without changing the number of side-mounted guide rails, and greatly improving the space utilization.

[0018] (2) By adjusting the inner side and the outer side of the arc-shaped guide rail, the assembly position of the mold can be quickly changed by using the electrically controlled telescopic adjustment module on the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped guide rail. The loading, unloading and adjustment are very convenient and quick.

[0019] (3) Install a lateral inspection plate on the outer side of the arc-shaped guide rail, and install an optical inspection module on the lateral inspection plate. By transferring the mold to the inner side of the lateral assembly frame on the side wall of the arc-shaped electric control adjustment plate, and then using the optical inspection module to perform optical scanning on the operation port while moving along the arc-shaped guide rail, the inspection is automatically completed, improving the timeliness of maintenance and reducing the cost of later use.

[0020] (4) The entire drive adjustment unit is controlled by a worm gear assembly, which can ensure the stability and robustness of the adjustment structure;

[0021] (5) By installing a quick detection and unloading module on the outer end of the side-mounted guide rail, the mold can be replaced from the outside without affecting the normal operation of the bending machine. The maintenance cost is low and it is safe. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0028] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The invention described herein is an electrically controlled rapid mold inspection and unloading mechanism for an aluminum strip bending machine. It includes a bending machine body 1, a front telescopic head 2 located in the middle of the side wall of the bending machine body 1, a side-mounted guide rail 3 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the bending machine body 1 around the front telescopic head 2, an electrically controlled rotary central aluminum strip feeding head 4 installed at the front end of the front telescopic head 2, an electrically controlled translation base 5 for controlling the translation of the lateral bending mold slidably mounted on the outside of the side-mounted guide rail 3, and a rapid inspection and unloading module 6 installed on the side wall of the bending machine body 1 at the outer end of the side-mounted guide rail 3.

[0030] Working principle: Multiple lateral bending dies to be used are pre-fixed inside the rapid inspection and unloading module 6. Then, the lateral bending dies are slidably adjusted to one side of the rapid inspection and unloading module 6 by the electrically controlled translation base 5. The lateral bending dies are installed on the outer side of the electrically controlled translation base 5. Then, the lateral bending dies are moved to the aluminum busbar outside the electrically controlled rotary central aluminum busbar feeder 4 by the electrically controlled translation base 5. The lateral bending dies are controlled to bend by the embedded rotating table on the electrically controlled translation base 5.

[0031] The embedded rotary table is used to control the rotation of the lateral bending mold, which facilitates the bending of the aluminum busbar. The aluminum busbar is clamped by the lateral bending molds on both sides, thus ensuring the stability of the aluminum busbar during the bending process.

[0032] The lateral bending die can also be modified into a tool or cutting machine for bending aluminum busbars, making it easier to extrude or cut the aluminum busbars.

[0033] To facilitate assembly and driving, the side-mounted guide rail 3 has lateral sliding grooves 31 at its upper and lower ends, and embedded translational toothed grooves 32 on its side wall.

[0034] To facilitate sliding assembly, the electrically controlled translation base 5 is inserted into the side slide groove 31 and movably assembled with the side-mounted guide rail 3 via the sliders 501 on the same side of the upper and lower ends.

[0035] To facilitate translation adjustment and loading / unloading, the electrically controlled translation base 5 includes a sliding mounting base 51, a translation adjustment motor 52 installed inside the sliding mounting base 51, an embedded flip lock 53 installed on the outer wall of the sliding mounting base 51, and a built-in worm gear assembly 54 installed inside the sliding mounting base 51.

[0036] The translation adjustment motor 52 engages with the embedded translation groove 32 through the gear on the output shaft, and controls the rotation of the travel gear to make the sliding mounting seat 51 slide along the side-mounted guide rail 3 for adjustment.

[0037] To facilitate optical inspection, the rapid inspection loading and unloading module 6 includes an arc-shaped guide rail 61 fixed on the side wall of the bending machine body 1, an arc-shaped electronically controlled adjustment plate 62 slidably mounted on the arc-shaped guide rail 61, a lateral assembly frame 63 fixed on the side wall of the arc-shaped electronically controlled adjustment plate 62, a lateral inspection plate 64 fixed on the outer side of the arc-shaped guide rail 61, and an optical inspection module 65 fixed on the lateral inspection plate 64.

[0038] After the lateral bending mold is installed on the lateral assembly frame 63, the arc-shaped electronic control adjustment plate 62 drives the arc-shaped guide rail 61 to slide and adjust outward. During the adjustment process, it passes through the lateral detection plate 64. When passing through the lateral detection plate 64, the optical detection module 65 uses the existing optical recognition method to optically scan the internal width and internal deformation state of the lateral bending mold's operating port, thereby determining whether it needs maintenance or replacement. The status light installed on the lateral detection plate 64 is used to display this information intuitively.

[0039] To facilitate the installation and separation of the lateral bending mold, an electrically controlled telescopic adjustment module 7 is installed on the outer arc surface of the arc guide rail 61, and a lateral flip lock 8 and a lateral worm gear assembly 9 that cooperate with the electrically controlled telescopic adjustment module 7 are installed on the inner side of the lateral assembly frame 63.

[0040] In order to coordinate with the electric positioning of the adjustment angle of the side assembly frame 63, an infrared positioning module 10 is fixedly mounted on the inner arc surface of the arc guide rail 61, and a positioning reflector 11 that cooperates with the infrared positioning module is on the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped electric control adjustment plate 62.

[0041] The arc-shaped electronically controlled adjustment plate 62 slides along the arc-shaped guide rail 61. When the positioning reflector 11 moves to the position of the infrared positioning module 10, the infrared signal emitted by the infrared positioning module 10 is reflected by the positioning reflector 11, so that the side assembly frame 63 is aligned with the side-mounted guide rail 3, and the electronically controlled translation base 5 slides along the side-mounted guide rail 3 and is inserted into the side assembly frame 63.

[0042] To facilitate the sliding adjustment of the lateral bending die on the arc-shaped guide rail 61, the arc-shaped electronic control adjustment plate 62 includes an arc-shaped adjustment seat 621 slidably mounted on the arc-shaped guide rail 61, an adjustment motor 622 installed inside the arc-shaped adjustment seat 621, and an outer worm gear assembly 623.

[0043] The adjusting motor 622 drives the outer worm gear assembly 623 to drive the arc-shaped adjusting seat 621 to slide along the arc-shaped guide rail 61 for adjustment.

[0044] To facilitate the monitoring of the position of the electrically controlled translation base 5, an embedded infrared ranging control module 12 is installed on the side wall of the lateral assembly frame 63.

[0045] The embedded infrared ranging control module 12 performs optical ranging on the electrically controlled translation base 5. When the electrically controlled translation base 5 moves into the side assembly frame 63, the embedded infrared ranging control module 12 monitors the distance and controls the electrically controlled telescopic adjustment module 7 to extend to one side of the side assembly frame 63. This drives the side worm gear assembly 9 to control the side flip lock 8 to flip, fixing the side bending mold on the electrically controlled translation base 5 inside the side assembly frame 63. At the same time, the electrically controlled telescopic adjustment module 7 extends to one side of the sliding mounting seat 51 and connects with the built-in worm gear assembly 54 inside the sliding mounting seat 51. The worm gear assembly 54 controls the embedded flip lock 53 to flip in the opposite direction, thereby separating the side bending mold from the sliding mounting seat 51.

[0046] To facilitate lateral assembly and drive adjustment, the inner arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped guide rail 61 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove and an arc-shaped drive tooth groove that cooperate with the arc-shaped electric control adjustment plate 62.

[0047] The arc-shaped adjustment seat 621 is slidably assembled with the arc-shaped guide rail 61 by inserting into the arc-shaped guide groove. The output shaft of the adjustment motor 622 drives the outer worm gear assembly 623 to operate. The outer worm gear assembly 623 meshes with the arc-shaped drive tooth groove. The worm gear assembly includes an outer worm that is axially fixed on the output shaft of the adjustment motor 622 and an outer worm gear that meshes with the outer worm. An outer gear that meshes with the arc-shaped drive tooth groove is axially fixed on the outer side of the outer worm gear.

[0048] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
