Description

A semi-automatic correction device and method for correcting the supports on copper busbars. Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of correcting the legs on copper busbars, and in particular to a semi-automatic correction device and method for correcting the legs on copper busbars. Background Technology

[0002] A workshop produced a batch of copper busbars as shown in Figure 1. The copper busbar includes a long strip plate 1. A small support leg 2 and a large support leg 3 are fixed on the rear end of the long strip plate 1 and on its left and right sides, respectively. The small support leg 2 and the large support leg 3 are integrally formed with the long strip plate 1. The small support leg 2, the large support leg 3 and the long strip plate 1 are all made of copper.

[0003] Due to the manufacturing process, both the small support leg 2 and the large support leg 3 on the copper busbar are at an angle to the long strip plate 1. Therefore, the workers need to correct both the large support leg 3 and the small support leg 2 so that they are perpendicular to the long strip plate 1, thereby producing a finished copper busbar that can be supplied to customers.

[0004] Currently, the method used by workers in the workshop to correct the supports on a batch of copper busbars is as follows: S1. The worker takes out a copper busbar and places the long strip plate 1 of the copper busbar flat on the tooling table; S2. The worker presses down the long strip plate 1 of the copper busbar with his hand, and then takes out a wooden hammer and strikes the large support 3 of the copper busbar from right to left, in the direction shown by the solid arrow in Figure 2, so that the large support 3 bends to the left relative to the stationary long strip plate 1. When the worker observes that the large support 3 is perpendicular to the long strip plate 1, the worker stops striking the large support 3, thus completing the correction of the large support 3; S3. The worker continues to use his hand to press down the long strip plate 1. The long strip plate 1 of the copper busbar is pressed down, and then the small support leg 2 of the copper busbar is struck repeatedly from right to left with a wooden hammer, in the direction shown by the solid arrow in Figure 2, so that the small support leg 2 bends to the left relative to the stationary long strip plate 1. When the worker observes that the small support leg 2 is perpendicular to the long strip plate 1, the worker stops striking the small support leg 2, thus completing the correction of the small support leg 2, and finally realizing the correction of the support leg on the first copper busbar; S4, the worker repeats the operation of steps S1 to S3 many times to complete the correction of the support legs on a batch of copper busbars, and then produces finished copper busbars that can be supplied to customers.

[0005] However, although the method used in the workshop can correct the large support legs 3 on a batch of copper busbars, it still has the following technical defects: I. In step S2, workers need to repeatedly strike the large support legs 3 of the copper busbars with a wooden hammer to correct them; and the striking action is done manually by the workers, which undoubtedly increases the workload of the workers.

[0006] II. In steps S2 to S3, a total of two processes are required to complete the correction of the large support leg 3 and the small support leg 2 on the copper busbar, which takes a long time to complete the correction of the support leg on one copper busbar, thus greatly reducing the correction efficiency of the copper busbar support leg.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a correction device and method that can greatly reduce the workload of workers and greatly improve the efficiency of correcting copper busbar legs. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a semi-automatic correction device and method for correcting the legs on copper busbars.

[0009] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a semi-automatic correction device for correcting the supports on a copper busbar, comprising a longitudinal plate and a transverse plate fixed to the rear end of the longitudinal plate. A stop block is fixed on the top surface of the longitudinal plate, and a height limiting block is fixed on the front end face of the stop block. A gap is formed between the bottom surface of the height limiting block and the top surface of the longitudinal plate, the height of which is equal to the thickness of the elongated plate of the copper busbar. A horizontally arranged movable rod slides through the stop block, the movable rod being located behind the height limiting block. The right end of the movable rod penetrates the right end face of the stop block, and the left end of the movable rod penetrates the left end face of the stop block. A longitudinally arranged pressure plate is fixed on the extended end. The top of the longitudinal plate... A longitudinally mounted mounting plate is fixed to the surface. A fixing block, which is opposite to the pressure plate, is fixed to the right end of the mounting plate. A horizontally mounted spring passes through the fixing block. The left end of the spring is fixed to the mounting plate, and the right end of the spring is fixed to the left end of the pressure plate. Under the elastic force of the spring, the pressure plate always abuts against the left end of the stop block. Two positioning pins are also fixed to the top surface of the longitudinal plate. Both positioning pins are located on the right side of the mounting plate. A horizontally mounted straightening cylinder is fixed to the top surface of the transverse plate. A straightening push plate is fixed to the piston rod of the straightening cylinder. The height limiting block and the movable rod are opposite to the straightening push plate.

[0010] The longitudinal plate and the transverse plate are integrally formed.

[0011] The stop block has a square hole that extends through its left and right ends, and the movable rod passes through the square hole.

[0012] The fixing block has a light hole that passes through its left and right end faces, and the spring passes through the light hole.

[0013] The fixing block is detachably fixed to the longitudinal plate by two locking screws.

[0014] The correction device also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the correction cylinder via a signal line.

[0015] A semi-automatic method for correcting the supports on a copper busbar includes the following steps: S1, a worker takes out a copper busbar to be corrected, places the long strip of the copper busbar on the top surface of the longitudinal plate, and then abuts the left end of the long strip against two positioning pins, thus achieving initial positioning of the copper busbar. At this time, the rear end of the long strip of the copper busbar is aligned with the gap formed between the height limit block and the longitudinal plate, and the large support of the copper busbar is aligned with the front end of the stop block, and the small support of the copper busbar is aligned with the area enclosed between the pressure plate and the fixing block; S2, the worker manually adjusts the copper busbar... The long strip plate is pushed towards the stop block to move it towards the gap. When the worker can no longer push the long strip plate, the copper busbar enters the straightening station. At this time, the rear end of the long strip plate of the copper busbar is blocked by the front face of the stop block and restricted between the height limit block and the longitudinal plate. At the same time, the large support leg of the copper busbar is exposed on the outside of the stop block, and the small support leg of the copper busbar is in contact with the left end face of the pressure plate. S3, the worker controls the piston rod of the straightening cylinder to extend to the left. The piston rod drives the straightening push plate to move to the left, and the straightening push plate moves towards the large support leg and the movable rod. When the straightening push plate moves to the left... After a certain distance, the straightening push plate just contacts the right end of the movable rod, and simultaneously, it also contacts the large support leg. As the straightening push plate continues to move to the left, it gradually pushes the large support leg to bend to the left. At the same time, the push plate pushes the movable rod to move to the left relative to the stationary stop, causing the pressure plate to gradually move to the left. The pressure plate gradually compresses the spring to the left, and simultaneously, it gradually pushes the small support leg to bend to the left. When the piston rod of the straightening cylinder extends to the set distance, the controller closes the straightening cylinder, thus simultaneously completing the adjustment of the large support leg and the small support leg of the first copper busbar. The small support legs are straightened, thus producing finished copper busbars; S4, Removal of finished copper busbars: The worker controls the piston rod of the straightening cylinder to retract to the right, and the piston rod drives the straightening push plate to move to the right. When the straightening push plate separates from the right end of the moving rod, under the elastic restoring force of the spring, the pressure plate abuts against the left end face of the stop block again. Then the worker pulls the finished copper busbar away from the stop block to remove it; S5, The worker repeats steps S1 to S4 multiple times to complete the straightening of the support legs on a batch of copper busbars, thus producing finished copper busbars that can be supplied to customers.

[0016] The present invention has the following advantages: it greatly reduces the workload of workers and greatly improves the efficiency of correcting copper busbar feet. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following: As shown in Figures 3 to 10, a semi-automatic correction device for correcting the legs on a copper busbar includes a longitudinal plate 4 and a transverse plate 5 fixed to the rear end of the longitudinal plate 4. The longitudinal plate 4 and the transverse plate 5 are integrally formed. A stop block 6 is fixed on the top surface of the longitudinal plate 4. A height limiting block 7 is fixed on the front end surface of the stop block 6. A gap is formed between the bottom surface of the height limiting block 7 and the top surface of the longitudinal plate 4. The height of the gap is equal to the thickness of the elongated plate 1 of the copper busbar.

[0019] A horizontally arranged movable rod 8 slides through the stop block 6. The movable rod 8 is located behind the height limiting block 7. The right end of the movable rod 8 passes through the right end face of the stop block 6, and the left end of the movable rod 8 passes through the left end face of the stop block 6. A longitudinally arranged pressure plate 9 is fixed on the extended end. A square hole 16 is opened in the stop block 6, passing through its left and right end faces. The movable rod 8 passes through the square hole 16.

[0020] A longitudinally arranged mounting plate 10 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the longitudinal plate 4. A fixing block 11, which is opposite to the pressure plate 9, is fixedly mounted on the right end face of the mounting plate 10. A horizontally arranged spring 12 passes through the fixing block 11. The left end of the spring 12 is fixed to the mounting plate 10, and the right end of the spring 12 is fixed to the left end face of the pressure plate 9. Under the elastic force of the spring 12, the pressure plate 9 always abuts against the left end face of the stop block 6. Two positioning pins 13 are also fixedly mounted on the top surface of the longitudinal plate 4. Both positioning pins 13 are located on the right side of the mounting plate 10. A light hole 17 is opened in the fixing block 11, penetrating its left and right end faces. The spring 12 passes through the light hole 17. The fixing block 11 is detachably fixed to the longitudinal plate 4 by two locking screws 18.

[0021] A horizontally arranged correction cylinder 14 is fixed on the top surface of the transverse plate 5. A correction push plate 15 is fixed on the piston rod of the correction cylinder 14. The height limit block 7 and the movable rod 8 are both opposite to the correction push plate 15 on the left and right.

[0022] The straightening device also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the straightening cylinder 14 via a signal line. The worker can control the extension or retraction of the piston rod of the straightening cylinder 14 through the controller, thereby facilitating the worker's operation.

[0023] A semi-automatic method for correcting the supports on a copper busbar includes the following steps: S1, a worker takes out a copper busbar to be corrected as shown in Figure 1, places the elongated plate 1 of the copper busbar on the top surface of the longitudinal plate 4, and then abuts the left end face of the elongated plate 1 against two positioning pins 13, thereby achieving the initial positioning of the copper busbar, as shown in Figure 11. At this time, the rear end of the elongated plate 1 of the copper busbar is aligned with the gap formed between the height limiting block 7 and the longitudinal plate 4, and at the same time, the large support 3 of the copper busbar is aligned with the front end face of the stop block 6, and the small support 2 of the copper busbar is aligned with the area enclosed between the pressure plate 9 and the fixing block 11; S2, the worker manually adjusts the elongated plate 1 of the copper busbar... Plate 1 is pushed towards stop 6 to move the long strip plate 1 towards the gap. When the worker can no longer push the long strip plate 1, the copper busbar enters the straightening station, as shown in Figures 12 and 13. At this time, the rear end of the long strip plate 1 of the copper busbar is blocked by the front end of stop 6 and restricted between the height limit block 7 and the longitudinal plate 4. At the same time, the large support leg 3 of the copper busbar is exposed on the outside of stop 6, and the small support leg 2 of the copper busbar is in contact with the left end face of the pressure plate 9. S3, the worker controls the piston rod of the straightening cylinder 14 to extend to the left. The piston rod drives the straightening push plate 15 to move to the left. The straightening push plate 15 moves towards the large support leg 3 and the movable rod 8. The direction of movement of the straightening push plate 15 is as follows. As shown by the arrow in Figure 14; after the correcting push plate 15 moves a certain distance to the left, it just contacts the right end face of the movable rod 8, and at the same time, it also just contacts the large support leg 3; as the correcting push plate 15 continues to move to the left, it gradually pushes the large support leg 3 to bend it to the left. Simultaneously, the correcting push plate 15 pushes the movable rod 8 to move to the left relative to the stationary stop block 6. The movable rod 8 drives the pressure plate 9 to gradually move to the left, and the pressure plate 9 gradually compresses the spring 12 to the left. At the same time, the pressure plate 9 gradually pushes the small support leg 2 to bend it to the left; when the piston rod of the correcting cylinder 14 extends to the set distance, the controller controls the correcting cylinder 14 to close, thus... Simultaneously, the large support leg 3 and small support leg 2 of the first copper busbar are corrected, thereby producing the finished copper busbar; S4, Removal of the finished copper busbar: The worker controls the piston rod of the correction cylinder 14 to retract to the right, and the piston rod drives the correction push plate 15 to move to the right. When the correction push plate 15 separates from the right end of the movable rod 8, under the elastic restoring force of the spring 12, the pressure plate 9 abuts against the left end face of the stop block 6 again. Then the worker pulls the finished copper busbar away from the stop block 6 to remove the finished copper busbar; S5, The worker repeats the operation of steps S1 to S4 multiple times to complete the correction of the support legs on a batch of copper busbars, thereby producing the corresponding finished copper busbars that can be supplied to customers.

[0024] In step S1, the worker first places the left end face of the long strip plate 1 of the copper busbar against the two positioning pins 13 to achieve the initial positioning of the copper busbar; in step S2, the worker pushes the copper busbar forward to make it enter the straightening station; in step S3, the worker controls the piston rod of the straightening cylinder 14 to extend to the left, so that the large support leg 3 of the copper busbar can be straightened by the straightening push plate 15, and at the same time, the small support leg 2 of the copper busbar can be straightened by the pressure plate 9, thereby producing the finished copper busbar.

[0025] Therefore, this straightening device can simultaneously straighten the large support leg 3 and the small support leg 2 of the copper busbar. Compared with the straightening method in the workshop, it eliminates the need for workers to straighten the large support leg 3 and the small support leg 2 separately in two steps, thereby greatly shortening the straightening time of the copper busbar support leg and thus greatly improving the straightening efficiency of the copper busbar support leg.

[0026] Furthermore, by simply controlling the extension of the piston rod of the straightening cylinder 14, the large support leg 3 and the small support leg 2 of the copper busbar can be automatically straightened. There is no need for workers to repeatedly strike the large support leg 3 and the small support leg 2 with a wooden hammer. Instead, the straightening of the large support leg 3 and the small support leg 2 is completed automatically, which greatly reduces the workload of workers.
