Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal processing, in particular to a material belt feeding and shaping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the metal processing industry, strip stamping is a widely used process for manufacturing metal parts. The stability and accuracy of the strip, i.e. the continuous roll of metal sheet, before entering the stamping die has a decisive influence on the quality of the final product. However, in actual production, the strip often encounters stability problems during the process of conveying to the die due to the softness and thinness of the material itself.

[0003] During the conveying process, the material belt is easily affected by various external forces, such as vibration, airflow or friction of equipment components. These forces can cause the material belt to bend, twist or corrugate, which in turn affects the feeding accuracy of the material belt. When the material belt enters the stamping die, these deformations may not only cause positioning errors during the stamping process, but also increase the wear of the die and reduce the service life of the die. In addition, the material belt needs to maintain appropriate tension during the conveying process. Improper tension control can also lead to instability of the material belt. Excessive tension may cause the material belt to over-stretch, while too little tension may cause the material belt to relax and produce corrugated deformation. This unstable tension state will further aggravate the deformation problem of the material belt and bring greater challenges to the stamping process.

[0004] Traditional material belt conveying devices often find it difficult to accurately control the tension and position of the material belt, which causes the material belt to easily deform and fluctuate during the conveying process. This not only affects the accuracy of stamping and forming, but may also cause damage to the mold and increase production costs. Existing material belt feeding and shaping mechanisms often lack effective detection and correction mechanisms for material belt deformation. Once the material belt is deformed, it is often necessary to stop the machine for manual adjustment, which not only reduces production efficiency, but also increases the labor intensity of operators. In addition, when dealing with material belts of different materials, specifications and thicknesses, existing technical methods often require complex adjustments and settings according to specific circumstances. This not only increases the difficulty of technical implementation, but also reduces the flexibility and adaptability of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0015] According to the material belt feeding shaping mechanism of the embodiment of the utility model, by adding a slope, the material at the feed port has a certain angle with the material before feeding.

[0018] Figure 2 It is a schematic top view of the material belt feeding and shaping mechanism according to an embodiment of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the present invention.

[0020] First, combine Figure 1 , 2 The material strip feeding and shaping mechanism according to the embodiment of the utility model is widely used in scenes such as metal stamping forming and high-precision metal processing. In this embodiment, a rolled metal sheet is taken as an example for description.

[0021] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the material belt feeding and shaping mechanism of the embodiment of the utility model comprises a base 1, a tensioning assembly 2, and a limiting assembly 3.

[0022] Specifically, Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the base 1 is arranged outside the feed port, and a slope 11 is arranged on the base 1. The material belt enters the feed port along the inclined direction of the slope 11, and the material belt smoothly enters the feed port along the inclined direction of the slope 11. This design allows the material belt to have a certain inclination angle before entering the processing equipment, effectively avoiding the bending and twisting problems caused by horizontal transmission; the tensioning assembly 2 is arranged on the slope 11, and the tensioning assembly 2 includes at least one tensioning guide roller, which rotates and supports the material belt as the material belt is fed. As the material belt is fed, the tensioning guide roller rotates and supports the material belt, thereby achieving the tensioning effect on the material belt. This design ensures the stability of the material belt during the transmission process and avoids deformation problems caused by relaxation or offset. The use of tensioning guide rollers not only improves the flatness of the material belt, but also helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent processing; the limiter assembly 3 is set on both sides of the material belt, and the limiter assembly 3 limits the lateral displacement of the material belt. By accurately controlling the movement range of the material belt, the limiter assembly 3 effectively prevents the deviation of the material belt during the transmission process, and further improves the stability and flatness of the material belt. This design ensures that the material belt can maintain the best flat state before reaching the next process, providing a strong guarantee for subsequent processing operations.

[0023] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the angle between the plane where the slope 11 is located and the plane where the material strip at the feed port is located is 25 degrees to 65 degrees. Limiting the angle between 20 degrees and 70 degrees helps to achieve a natural and smooth transmission of the material strip on the slope 11, further reduce the bending and twisting of the material strip during transmission, and improve the flatness of the material strip.

[0024] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the angle between the plane where the slope 11 is located and the plane where the material strip at the feed port is located is 35 degrees. This angle can largely balance the friction and resistance during the transmission of the material strip, while ensuring that the material strip has sufficient flatness and stability when it reaches the feed port.

[0025] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the tensioning assembly 2 includes a guide tensioning roller 21, which is arranged on the side of the slope 11 away from the feed port, and helps to guide the transmission direction of the material strip on the slope 11 to ensure that the material strip can accurately enter the feed port; at the same time, the guide tensioning roller 21 can also provide a certain tensioning force to further improve the flatness and stability of the material strip.

[0026] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the tensioning assembly 2 also includes a bottom tensioning guide roller 22 and a top tensioning guide roller 23, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the plane where the material belt is located. The bottom and top tensioning guide rollers 23 are respectively arranged on both sides of the plane where the material belt is located. Through the synergistic effect of the upper and lower guide rollers, the transmission direction and tension of the material belt can be more effectively controlled. This design not only improves the flatness of the material belt, but also effectively prevents the deviation and relaxation of the material belt during the transmission process.

[0027] Preferably, if Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the bottom tensioning guide roller 22 includes the first tensioning guide roller and the second tensioning guide roller, and the top tensioning guide roller 23 includes the third tensioning guide roller and the fourth tensioning guide roller. The first, second, third, and fourth tensioning guide rollers are not aligned in the direction perpendicular to the material belt. This design can increase the friction of the material belt during transmission, thereby further improving the tension and stability of the material belt. At the same time, the non-aligned design can also cause the material belt to have a certain degree of shaking and vibration during transmission, which helps to eliminate the tiny ripples and unevenness on the surface of the material belt.

[0028] Preferably, if Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the distance between the first tensioning guide roller and the second tensioning guide roller is equal to the distance between the third tensioning guide roller and the fourth tensioning guide roller. This equidistant setting can ensure that the material strip is subjected to uniform tensioning force during transmission, avoid local over-tightening or over-loosening, and further improve the flatness and stability of the material strip.

[0029] Preferably, if Figure 1 , 2As shown, the limiting component 3 is a limiting column 31 respectively arranged on both sides of the material belt. The limiting column 31 is used as the limiting component 3, which can accurately limit the lateral displacement of the material belt during the transmission process, ensuring that the material belt is always kept in the correct position. This design is simple and practical, low cost, and easy to install and maintain.

[0030] Preferably, if Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a width-limiting deformation sensor is provided on one side of the feed port near the base 1, which can detect the width and deformation of the material strip in real time. Once the width of the material strip is found to be not in compliance with the standard or deformed, the sensor will immediately send out an alarm signal to remind the operator to take timely measures to avoid the production of defective products.

[0031] Preferably, if Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an infrared sensor 4 is provided on one side of the feed port near the base 1. The application of the infrared sensor 4 enables the device to automatically detect whether the material belt is exhausted. When the material belt is insufficient, the sensor will send an alarm signal to remind the operator to replace the material belt in time. This design improves the intelligence level of the equipment, reduces labor costs, and also improves production efficiency.

[0032] When in use, after entering the shaping mechanism, the material strip first extends naturally along the slope 11, using the inclination angle of the slope 11 to reduce bending and twisting. Subsequently, the material strip passes through the guide tensioning roller 21 and the bottom and top tensioning rollers 23 arranged in multiple layers in a staggered manner. These guide rollers work together to provide tensioning force to ensure that the material strip remains flat and stable during transmission. At the same time, the limit columns 31 on both sides limit the lateral displacement of the material strip to further maintain its stability. When approaching the feed port, the width-limiting deformation sensor monitors the width and deformation of the material strip in real time, while the infrared sensor 4 detects whether the material strip is exhausted to ensure the continuity and stability of the production process. The entire feeding process is efficient and accurate, which significantly improves product quality and production efficiency.

[0033] Above, refer to Figure 1 , 2The material belt feeding shaping mechanism according to the embodiment of the utility model is described. By adding a slope, the material at the feed port has a certain angle with the material before feeding. The setting of this angle can effectively avoid the problem of bending, twisting or corrugated deformation, which has a good effect on improving product quality. Compared with other complex mechanisms, the design is simple and the cost is low, which is of great significance to small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, the tensioning guide rollers and limit columns improve the flatness and stability of the material belt. The material belt can be effectively tensioned and limited during the transmission process. At the same time, it also has a certain effect of preventing shaking, avoiding the relaxation and deviation of the material belt during the transmission process, thereby improving the flatness of the material belt. The upper and lower layers of staggered guide rollers further ensure the stability of the material belt during the transmission process, so that the material belt can remain flat before reaching the next process, which is conducive to subsequent processing.
