The bottom plate 80 is simultaneously located on the second guide rail 63, pushing the plate 80 into the forming device 70, and at the same time pushing the formed workpiece out of the forming mold. After reaching the corresponding position, the sensor sends a signal to stop moving forward, and the push rod 22 starts to move backward. The rear push rod 22 retracts and exits the storage rack 10, and the plate 80 in the rear storage rack 10 will fall onto the second guide rail 63. At this time, the press of the forming device 70 starts to work, and the workpiece is formed through the mold. , so far a stroke is completed, and then the next plate 80 is pushed into the forming device 70; after the plates 80 in the storage rack 10 have all entered the forming device 70 in turn, that is, after the plates 80 in the storage rack 10 have been used up, the corresponding sensor transmits a signal back to the control end, and sends a signal to push the spare plate 80 into the storage rack 10, and the stacked plates 80 are pushed along the second positioning wall 64 by the third pushing component 50 until the end plate 80 abuts against the first positioning wall 61, and then the second pushing component 40 pushes the stack of plates 80 to move along the first positioning wall 61 and enter the storage rack 10, completing the replenishment of the plates 80 in the storage rack 10. Therefore, when operating the present application, it is only necessary to stack the plates 80 and place them next to the third pushing component 50 and the second pushing component 40, and start the switch to realize automatic feeding, forming, and withdrawing, wherein feeding and withdrawing are carried out simultaneously, and the plates 80 are pushed to the mold area and the formed workpiece is pushed out by the push rod 22.
[0075] The forming device 70 is provided with multiple sensors, which send signals to the mechanism to execute or stop related actions after the mechanism reaches the corresponding position. In order to prevent the advancement of the plate 80 from tilting, the distance between the storage rack 10 and the lower forming template is controlled within a certain range; the time delay in the forming process is achieved through the time relay in the control box, which can also adjust the working frequency of the oil cylinder and the press.
[0076] During specific use, the same effect can be achieved by appropriately changing or replacing the storage rack 10, some components of the control box, etc.
[0077] When using this device to perform press bending of metal sheet parts, only one operator needs to feed the material once at a certain interval, and workpieces of different lengths can be press bent. In addition, the workpiece is positioned automatically, which is less likely to cause poor positioning effects, thereby ensuring the quality of the press bending work. Finally, since the operator no longer needs to put his hands into the working area, the operator's working environment is improved and the safety of the work is improved. Therefore, the advantages of this device are: the device of the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has a low manufacturing cost; the work efficiency is greatly improved compared to traditional methods; the work quality is better; the operator's labor intensity is greatly reduced, and the working environment is improved.
