Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 6 An embodiment of the present invention provides a sheet metal bending device, including a workbench 1, a support frame 2 fixedly provided on one side of the upper end of the workbench 1, a fixed seat 4 driven to the top of the inner side of the support frame 2 by a cylinder 3, an upper die 5 installed below the fixed seat 4, an infrared emitter 23 installed in the middle of the front side of the upper die 5 and at the top of the inner side of the support frame 2, a base 7 installed below the upper die 5 and at the upper end of the workbench 1 by a limiting mechanism 6, and a lower die 8 matching the upper die 5 fixedly provided at the upper end of the base 7. The workbench 1 has a cavity 101 inside. The upper end of the workbench 1 and the front and rear sides of the lower mold 8 are provided with guide grooves 102 that are connected to the cavity 101. A sliding frame 9 is slidably connected inside the cavity 101. The front and rear sides of the upper end of the sliding frame 9 are fixedly connected with sliding through guide grooves 102 and extend to support rods 14 at the upper end of the workbench 1. The upper ends of the front and rear support rods 14 on both sides are fixedly connected with connecting seats 15. The front and rear sides of the upper ends of the connecting seats 15 on both sides are movably connected with clamping plates 16.
[0020] Symmetrical T-slots 401 are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the fixed base 4. Symmetrical grooves 402 are provided at the ends of the T-slots 401 that are close to each other and located at the front end of the fixed base 4. A crossbar 18 is fixedly connected inside each groove 402. Sliding plates 19 are slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the crossbars 18. A second spring 20 is fixedly connected between the sides of the two sliding plates 19 that are close to each other and the inner wall of the corresponding groove 402. The second spring 20 is wound around the outer surface of the crossbar 18. The two sliding plates 19 are further away from the second spring 20. Each side is fixedly connected with a second limiting block 21. In the natural state of the second spring 20, the end of the second limiting block 21 away from the sliding plate 19 moves through the groove 402 and extends into the interior of the T-groove 401. Both sides of the upper end of the upper mold 5 are fixedly connected with T-shaped sliders 22 that are slidably connected to the T-groove 401. The ends of the two T-shaped sliders 22 that are close to each other are provided with second limiting grooves 2201 that match the second limiting block 21. The end of the second limiting block 21 that extends through into the interior of the T-groove 401 is inserted into the corresponding second limiting groove 2201.
[0021] By pinching the two sliding plates 19 at the front end of the fixed base 4, both sliding plates 19 move along the crossbar 18 towards each other, compressing the second spring 20, which in turn moves the second limiting block 21 into the groove 402. Then, the T-shaped slider 22 at the upper end of the suitable upper mold 5 is slidably inserted into the T-shaped groove 401. Then, the pinching of the two sliding plates 19 is released. At this time, the two second limiting blocks 21 are inserted into the corresponding second limiting grooves 2201 on the T-shaped slider 22 under the elastic force of the second spring 20, thereby fixing the upper mold 5.
[0022] The limiting mechanism 6 includes two limiting seats 601. Each limiting seat 601 has a driving cavity 60101 on its side furthest from each other, and a movable cavity 60102 on its side closest to each other. Each limiting seat 601 has a semi-threaded rod 602 threaded through and extending into the driving cavity 60101 at its front end. A driving block 603 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each semi-threaded rod 602 near the middle. A movable rod 604 is movably mounted inside the movable cavity 60102. A limiting plate 605, slidably connected to the movable cavity 60102, is fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod 604 furthest from the driving cavity 60101. A first spring 606 is fixedly connected between one side of the limiting plate 605 and one side of the inner wall of the movable cavity 60102, and the first spring 606 is wound around the movable rod 604. The outer surface of the movable rod 604 has an arc-shaped end away from the limiting plate 605, which moves through the movable cavity 60102 and extends into the drive cavity 60101. The drive block 603 is conical, and the arc end of the movable rod 604 slides in contact with the outer surface of the drive block 603. The end of the limiting plate 605 away from the movable rod 604 is fixedly connected to the first limiting block 607, and the end of the first limiting block 607 away from the limiting plate 605 moves through the movable cavity 60102 and extends to the outside of the limiting seat 601. The base 7 is slidably inserted between the two limiting seats 601, and the two sides of the outer surface of the base 7 are provided with first limiting grooves 701 that match the first limiting block 607. The end of the first limiting block 607 that extends through to the outside of the limiting seat 601 is inserted into the corresponding first limiting groove 701.
[0023] By sliding the base 7 at the bottom of the lower mold 8 between the two limiting seats 601, and then rotating the semi-threaded rods 602 on the front side of the two limiting seats 601, the two semi-threaded rods 602 are moved threaded towards the top of the drive cavity 60101. At this time, the movable rod 604 on one side slides into contact with the tapered surface of the drive block 603 on the outer surface of the semi-threaded rod 602, thereby pushing the limiting plate 605 to move the first limiting block 607 towards the outside of the limiting seat 601 and inserting it into the corresponding first limiting groove 701 on the outer surface of the base 7, thereby fixing the lower mold 8.
[0024] The sliding frame 9 is arranged in an inverted U-shape, and a rack 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the sliding frame 9. In the middle of the cavity 101, and located inside the sliding frame 9, a shaft 12 is connected by a motor 13. A gear 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the shaft 12, and the outer surface of the gear 11 meshes with the rack 10. When the motor 13 is started, the shaft 12 and the gear 11 are driven to rotate. When the gear 11 rotates, it meshes with the rack 10 at the upper end, thereby driving the sliding frame 9 to move along the cavity 101, and driving the connecting seat 15 with the clamping plate 16 above to move.
[0025] Both connecting seats 15 have a sliding groove 1501 at their upper ends. The interior of each sliding groove 1501 is rotatably connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 17 via a rotating handle. The bottom ends of the two clamping plates 16 at the upper end of the connecting seat 15 are slidably connected to the interior of the sliding groove 1501 and threadedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 17. By rotating the rotating handle, the bidirectional threaded rod 17 is driven to rotate. When the bidirectional threaded rod 17 rotates, the threads drive the clamping plates 16 on both sides of the outer surface to move closer to each other under the limitation of the sliding groove 1501, thereby clamping and fixing the sheet metal part.
[0026] When using the sheet metal bending device, by pinching the two sliding plates 19 at the front end of the fixed base 4, both sliding plates 19 move along the crossbar 18 towards each other, compressing the second spring 20, which in turn moves the second limiting block 21 into the groove 402. Then, the T-shaped slider 22 at the upper end of the appropriate upper die 5 is slidably inserted into the T-shaped groove 401. Next, the pinching of the two sliding plates 19 is released. At this time, under the elastic force of the second spring 20, the two second limiting blocks 21 are inserted into the corresponding second limiting grooves 2201 on the T-shaped slider 22, thereby bending the upper die 5. Mold 5 is installed and fixed; then the base 7 at the bottom of the lower mold 8 is slidably inserted between the two limiting seats 601. Then, by rotating the semi-threaded rods 602 on the front side of the two limiting seats 601, the two semi-threaded rods 602 are threaded towards the top of the drive cavity 60101. At this time, the movable rod 604 on one side slides into contact with the tapered surface of the drive block 603 on the outer surface of the semi-threaded rod 602, thereby pushing the limiting plate 605 to drive the first limiting block 607 to move outward of the limiting seat 601 and insert into the corresponding first limiting groove 701 on the outer surface of the base 7, thereby fixing the lower mold 8. After the upper mold 5 and lower mold 8 are installed, the motor 13 drives the shaft 12 and gear 11 to rotate. When the gear 11 rotates, it meshes with the rack 10 at the upper end, thereby driving the sliding frame 9 to move along the cavity 101 towards the end away from the support frame 2. This, in turn, drives the connecting seat 15 with clamping plate 16 above to move away from the support frame 2. Then, the sheet metal part can be easily placed on top of the two connecting seats 15 and between the front and rear clamping plates 16. Then, by rotating the handle, the bidirectional threaded rod 17 is driven to rotate. When the bidirectional threaded rod 17 rotates, The threaded drive brings the clamping plates 16 on both sides of the outer surface closer together under the limit of the slide groove 1501, thereby clamping and fixing the sheet metal part. Then, the motor 13 is started, causing the gear 11 to mesh with the rack 10, which drives the connecting seat 15, on which the sheet metal part is placed, to move downwards to the support frame 2 to a suitable position. At the same time, the infrared emitter 23 is turned on. The infrared emitter 23 generates infrared rays, which eventually fall on the surface of the sheet metal part, thereby marking the position of the sheet metal part and helping the operator to adjust and finally determine the position of the workpiece.
[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
