Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding chair manufacturing technology, and in particular to an auxiliary bending device for folding chair manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] A folding chair is a lightweight, stackable seat that is easy to move and saves space. Folding chairs are typically constructed from steel tubing and Oxford cloth or plastic. Taking a folding chair made of thickened steel tubing and Oxford cloth as an example, the steel tubing is powder-coated for rust prevention and a pleasing appearance, and structural mechanical treatments have been applied to key load-bearing areas, significantly enhancing its load-bearing capacity.

[0003] Bending the steel tubing for folding chairs is a crucial step in the manufacturing process. This requires specialized bending machinery with precise control systems and powerful motors to ensure the tubing is bent to the predetermined angle and shape. During bending, it's also essential to control the speed and force to avoid excessive damage or deformation to the tubing. However, existing bending machines generally only offer bending functionality and lack precise tubing positioning. The tubing's position is often inconsistent, relying on guesswork, which can lead to significant deviations in the bent length and negatively impact the overall quality of the folding chair production.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0023] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the auxiliary bending device used in the production of folding chairs, as follows:

[0024] An auxiliary bending device for folding chair production, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the machine includes a base 2, a lead screw 3, a motor 4, a support frame 5, a U-shaped block 6, a positioning frame 7, a connecting plate 8, and a baffle 9. The base 2 is connected to the front side of the bending machine 1. A groove 201 is opened in the middle of the top of the base 2. The support frame 5 is slidably connected to the groove 201. The lead screw 3 is rotatably connected inside the groove 201. The motor 4 is bolted to the upper front side of the base 2. The output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to the lead screw 3. The support frame 5 is threaded to the lead screw 3. Two U-shaped blocks 6 for placing steel pipes are connected to the rear side of the support frame 5. The connecting plate 8 is connected to the left side of the support frame 5. The positioning frame 7 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 8. The positioning frame 7 is L-shaped. The baffle 9 is connected to the end of the positioning frame 7.

[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a bolt 11 and a return spring 12. The positioning frame 7 has four limit holes 10 evenly distributed. The bolt 11 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 8. The bolt 11 cooperates with the limit hole 10. The bolt 11 is inserted into the limit hole 10 to fix the position of the positioning frame 7. The return spring 12 is connected between the bolt 11 and the connecting plate 8.

[0026] like Figure 5As shown, it also includes an auxiliary roller 13. The auxiliary roller 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the U-shaped block 6, and the auxiliary roller 13 enables the steel pipe to move smoothly.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes an anti-slip pad 14, which is connected to the bolt 11 and serves to prevent slipping.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a support rod 15. The left side of the positioning frame 7 is connected to the support rod 15. The support rod 15 is located on the right side of the baffle 9. The support rod 15 can support the left end of the steel pipe and increase the stability of the steel pipe placement.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a rubber pad 16. The right side of the baffle 9 is connected to the rubber pad 16, which serves as a buffer to prevent the baffle 9 from being damaged due to excessive force when the steel pipe moves.

[0030] When using the auxiliary bending device for folding chair production, first adjust the position of the baffle 9 according to the length of the steel pipe, pull the bolt 11 forward, deform the return spring 12, and then pull the positioning frame 7 to move, thereby driving the baffle 9 to move. After the baffle 9 moves to the appropriate position, release the bolt 11. Under the action of the return spring 12, the bolt 11 inserts into the corresponding limit hole 10 to fix the positioning frame 7. Then place the steel pipe on the two U-shaped blocks 6. The U-shaped blocks 6 can support the steel pipe. Then push the steel pipe to the left so that the left end of the steel pipe contacts the baffle 9. The auxiliary roller 13 can ensure the smooth movement of the steel pipe, while the rubber pad 16 can play a certain buffering role to prevent the baffle 9 from being damaged due to excessive force when the steel pipe moves. The support rod 15 can support the left end of the steel pipe. In this way, the position of the baffle 9 is adjusted according to the bending position of the steel pipe to ensure that the steel pipe is placed in a fixed position each time, thereby achieving the positioning of the steel pipe.

[0031] Then, start motor 4 to drive lead screw 3 to rotate, thereby moving support frame 5 backward. Support frame 5 moves steel pipe backward to the work position of bending machine 1. Turn off motor 4 and start bending machine 1. Bending machine 1 first lifts the steel pipe upward and moves it out of U-shaped block 6. Then, it bends both ends of the steel pipe. At this time, start motor 4 to drive lead screw 3 to reverse, thereby moving support frame 5 and its components forward to reset. In this way, the positioned steel pipe is sent to the work position of bending machine 1 through support frame 5 for bending operation, ensuring that the bending position of each steel pipe is fixed, thereby improving the production quality of folding chairs.

[0033] The above provides a detailed description of the auxiliary bending device for folding chair production provided by this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model and its core ideas.
