[0032] Reference below Figures 1 to 4 The transfer module of the first aspect of the utility model is described in detail.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2According to the first aspect of the utility model, the transfer module includes a support frame 100, a bearing assembly 200 and a driving assembly 300; the support frame 100 includes a support member 110, and a bearing surface 111 is provided on the support member 110. The bearing surface 111 includes a plurality of first bearing sections 111a and a plurality of second bearing sections 111b. The first bearing sections 111a and the second bearing sections 111b are alternately distributed along the first horizontal direction, and the horizontal height of the second bearing sections 111b is higher than the horizontal height of the first bearing sections 111a; the bearing assembly 200 is movably carried on the bearing surface 111 along the first horizontal direction, and the bearing assembly 200 is used to carry the mold 400; the driving assembly 300 is connected to the bearing assembly 200 and is used to drive the bearing assembly 200 to move along the first horizontal direction.

[0034] It should be noted that the supporting component 200 can support the mold 400. When the driving component 300 drives the supporting component 200 to move horizontally, the mold 400 may rub against or interfere with other structures.

[0035] In the transfer module of the present embodiment, driven by the driving component 300, the supporting component 200 can move in the first horizontal direction along the supporting surface 111, the supporting surface 111 includes a first supporting section 111a and a second supporting section 111b, and the horizontal height of the second supporting section 111b is higher than the horizontal height of the first supporting section 111a. When the supporting component 200 moves from the first supporting section 111a to the second supporting section 111b, the horizontal height of the supporting component 200 can gradually increase, so that the supporting component 200 can avoid other structures in the height direction.

[0036] When the transfer module of the present embodiment is applied to a heat bending machine, the support member 110 can extend into the heat bending station of the heat bending machine, and at least one first bearing section 111a can be located in the heat bending station. When the bearing assembly 200 is located in the heat bending station, the bearing assembly 200 is carried on the first bearing section 111a, and the mold 400 can just contact the heat bending lower mold. When the driving assembly 300 drives the bearing assembly 200 to move along the first horizontal direction, the bearing assembly 200 can move from the first bearing section 111a to the second bearing section 111b. Since the horizontal height of the second bearing section 111b is higher than that of the first bearing section 111a, the bearing assembly 200 can move from the first bearing section 111a to the second bearing section 111b. 1a, so that the bearing assembly 200 can drive the mold 400 to rise to a certain height, so that a certain gap is left between the mold 400 and the hot bending lower mold in the height direction, and then, driven by the driving assembly 300, the bearing assembly 200 can move along the second bearing section 111b, so that the mold 400 completely leaves the hot bending station, and in this process, since a certain gap is left between the mold 400 and the hot bending lower mold, the friction between the mold 400 and the hot bending lower mold can be reduced, so as to reduce the generation of dust, thereby reducing the probability of abnormal operation of the hot bending machine and improving the yield of the finished product.

[0037] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 2 The first bearing section 111a is a concave surface, the second bearing section 111b is a plane extending along the first horizontal direction, and the first bearing section 111a and the second bearing section 111b are smoothly connected.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The support frame 100 includes two support members 110. The two support members 110 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the bearing assembly 200 in a second horizontal direction. The second horizontal direction is spaced apart from the first horizontal direction by a certain angle.

[0039] It can be understood that by providing two support members 110, the two support members 110 can be respectively located on the two opposite sides of the support member 200 in the second horizontal direction while ensuring that the support frame 100 can stably support the load-bearing component 200; when the transfer module of this embodiment is applied to the hot bending equipment, the two support members 110 can be staggered in the horizontal direction with the hot bending lower mold to reduce the influence of the hot bending lower mold on the support members 110.

[0040] Specifically, the second horizontal direction is arranged perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

[0041] It should be noted that, although the support member 110 can support the bearing assembly 200 in the vertical direction, it is difficult for the support member 110 to limit the bearing assembly 200 in the horizontal direction.

[0042] In order to enable the bearing assembly 200 to accurately move along the first horizontal direction, in some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The support frame 100 also includes a guide rod 120, which extends along a first horizontal direction; the bearing assembly 200 includes a first slider 210, which is slidably arranged on the guide rod 120 along the first horizontal direction, and the first slider 210 is floatable relative to the guide rod 120 in a vertical direction.

[0043] Since the first slider 210 is slidably disposed on the guide rod 120 along the first horizontal direction, when the driving assembly 300 drives the supporting assembly 200 to move, under the guidance of the guide rod 120, the supporting assembly 200 can drive the mold 400 to move accurately along the first horizontal direction.

[0044] It can be understood that when the driving component 300 drives the supporting component 200 to move along the first horizontal direction, the horizontal height of the supporting component 200 will change when the supporting component 200 is transferred between the first supporting section 111a and the second supporting section 111b; in the transfer module of the present embodiment, since the first slider 210 can be floated in the vertical direction relative to the guide rod 120, the slider can jump in the vertical direction relative to the guide rod 120 without separating from the guide rod 120.

[0045] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, the cross-section of the guide rod 120 is circular, and the side surface of the guide rod 120 has a first curvature radius. The first slider 210 is provided with an arc-shaped sliding groove, and the guide rod 120 is relatively slidably arranged in the sliding groove. The groove surface of the sliding groove has a second curvature radius, and the second curvature radius is greater than the first curvature radius.

[0046] It can be understood that, since the second curvature radius of the groove surface of the slide groove is greater than the first curvature radius of the peripheral surface of the guide rod 120, relative movement can occur between the guide rod 120 and the groove wall of the slide groove in the height direction.

[0047] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the width of the slot opening is smaller than the diameter of the guide rod 120, so that the guide rod 120 and the slot wall can move relative to each other in the vertical direction while reducing the probability of the guide rod 120 escaping from the slot.

[0048] In other embodiments of the present invention, the cross section of the guide rod 120 may also be rectangular. In this case, the cross section of the slide groove on the first slider 210 is also rectangular, and the guide rod 120 is relatively slidably disposed in the slide groove of the first slider 210 .

[0049] It should be noted that two opposite ends of the lower end of the mold 400 in the first horizontal direction are provided with bearing grooves 410 .

[0050] It should be noted that when the transfer module of the present invention is applied to the hot bending equipment, after the bearing assembly 200 drives the mold 400 to move to the hot bending station, the mold 400 needs to contact the hot bending lower mold.

[0051] Based on the above problems, in some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bearing assembly 200 includes a first bearing structure 220, and the first bearing structure 220 includes two bearing members 221 spaced apart along a first horizontal direction. The two bearing members 221 are each provided with a bearing portion 221a at one end close to the other. The bearing portion 221a can be inserted into a bearing groove 410 at the edge of the mold 400, and a vertical distance between an upper surface of the bearing portion 221a and a lower surface of the bearing member 221 is less than a depth of the bearing groove 410.

[0052] It can be understood that since the vertical distance between the upper surface of the bearing portion 221a and the lower surface of the bearing member 221 is smaller than the depth of the bearing groove 410, when the bearing component 200 is located inside the hot bending station and the bearing component 200 is carried on the first bearing section 111a, the mold 400 can first contact the hot bending lower mold while leaving a certain gap between the bearing member 221 and the hot bending lower mold.

[0053] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the lower surface of the carrying portion 221 a and the lower surface of the carrying element 221 are located on the same horizontal plane. In this case, the thickness of the carrying portion 221 a needs to be smaller than the depth of the carrying groove 410 .

[0054] It should be noted that the mold 400 has various specifications.

[0055] In order to enable the transfer module of the present invention to transport molds 400 of various specifications, in a further embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 The bearing assembly 200 further includes a second bearing structure 230 , and the first bearing structure 220 further includes two second sliders 222 . The two bearing members 221 are slidably disposed on the second bearing structure 230 along the first horizontal direction through the two second sliders 222 .

[0056] It can be understood that since the two supporting members 221 are slidably arranged on the second supporting structure 230 along the first horizontal direction through the two second sliders 222 respectively, the staff can adjust the relative distance between the two supporting members 221 according to the specifications of the mold 400, so that the supporting parts 221a of the two supporting members 221 can just pass through the supporting groove 410 of the mold 400.

[0057] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The support frame 100 includes two support members 110, and the two support members 110 are distributed along the second horizontal direction. The second bearing structure 230 includes two guide members 232, two connecting members 233 and a plurality of rollers 231. The two guide members 232 are distributed along the second horizontal direction, and the guide members 232 extend along the first horizontal direction. The two connecting members 233 are distributed along the first horizontal direction, and the connecting members 233 extend along the second horizontal direction. The connecting members 233 are respectively connected to the two guide members 232 at opposite ends in the second horizontal direction. At least one roller 231 is provided on the two guide members 232, and the wheel surfaces of the rollers 231 on the two guide members 232 are respectively in contact with the bearing surfaces 111 on the two support members 110.

[0058] It is understandable that the provision of the roller 231 can reduce the friction force during the movement of the bearing assembly 200 relative to the support frame 100 .

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The driving assembly 300 includes a driver 310, a screw rod 320 and a sleeve frame 330. The screw rod 320 is extended along the first horizontal direction and is threadedly connected to the sleeve frame 330. The sleeve frame 330 is connected to the bearing assembly 200. The driver 310 is connected to the screw rod 320 and is used to drive the screw rod 320 to rotate.

[0060] Furthermore, driven by the driver 310 , the screw rod 320 can rotate, so that the screw rod 320 can drive the sleeve frame 330 to move along the first horizontal direction, and the sleeve frame 330 can drive the bearing assembly 200 to move along the first horizontal direction.

[0061] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly 300 includes two sleeve frames 330 , and the two sleeve frames 330 are respectively connected to two connecting members 233 .

[0062] The hot bending equipment according to the second aspect of the utility model includes the transfer module of the first aspect of the utility model; the hot bending equipment also includes a frame, a hot bending station is provided on the frame, the hot bending station is provided with a hot bending lower mold, the support frame 100 is provided on the frame, and at least one first load-bearing section 111a is located inside the hot bending station.

[0063] It should be noted that when the hot bending equipment is working, its interior is in a high-temperature and dry environment, and the workpiece located at the hot bending station is in a softened state due to the high temperature. If there is a large friction between the load-bearing component 200 and the hot bending lower die, a large amount of dust will be generated between the load-bearing component 200 and the hot bending lower die due to the friction. The dust will fill the interior of the hot bending machine and will adhere to the surface of the softened workpiece, and will follow the workpiece to be hot-bent. After the workpiece is subsequently cooled and hardened to form a finished product, the dust will be firmly fixed on the surface of the finished product, thereby affecting the quality of the finished product processed by the hot bending equipment.

[0064] It can be understood that, in the heat bending equipment of this embodiment, when the bearing assembly 200 is located at the heat bending station, the mold 400 can be carried on the heat bending lower mold, and the bearing assembly 200 is in contact with the first bearing section 111a; when the bearing assembly 200 needs to leave the heat bending station, the driving assembly 300 can drive the bearing assembly 200 to move along the first horizontal direction, and the bearing assembly 200 can move along the first bearing section 111a to the second bearing section 111b, and continue to move along the second bearing section 111b. In this process, The horizontal height of the first bearing section 111a is lower than the horizontal height of the second bearing section 111b, so that when the bearing assembly 200 is transferred from the first bearing section 111a to the second bearing section 111b, the bearing assembly 200 can drive the mold 400 to be lifted upward to a certain height, so that a certain gap is left between the mold 400 and the hot bending lower mold in the height direction, so as to reduce the relative friction between the mold 400 and the hot bending lower mold, thereby reducing the generation of dust in the hot bending machine, and then improving the quality of the finished products processed by the hot bending equipment.

[0065] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a cooling station is further provided on the frame, the cooling station is provided with a cooling lower mold, and at least one first bearing section 111a is located inside the cooling station.

[0066] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
