[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the following preferred embodiments are cited with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the present utility model is further described in detail. However, it should be noted that many details listed in the specification are only for enabling the reader to have a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the utility model, and these aspects of the present utility model can be realized even without these specific details.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present utility model provides a bent foot forming machine, and the technical solution is as follows:
[0023] It includes a chassis 1, an inlet feeding mechanism 2, a carrier moving mechanism 3, a bent foot feeding mechanism 4, a bent foot mechanism 5 and a return conveyor belt 6. The chassis 1 is arranged vertically. The inlet feeding mechanism 2 is arranged at the top of the chassis 1. The carrier moving mechanism 3, the bent foot feeding structure and the bent foot mechanism 5 are arranged at the rear end of the top of the chassis 1 from left to right in sequence, and the carrier moving mechanism 3 cooperates with the inlet feeding mechanism 2. A return conveyor belt 6 for the carrier to return is arranged at the front end of the top of the chassis 1.
[0024] The PLC control unit and the motor driver are installed inside the chassis 1 and are used to control the operation of the motor and the cylinders in each mechanism. After the product is processed in the previous process, it enters the equipment through the feeding conveyor mechanism 2. The carrier moving mechanism 3 sends the carrier to the bent-leg feeding mechanism 4. Then, the bent-leg feeding mechanism 4 sends the products to the bent-leg mechanism 5 one by one for bent-leg operations. When the products on a single carrier complete the bent-leg operations, they flow out. The empty carrier then moves back to the previous process through the return conveyor belt 6 for recycling. Through the mechanical structure and electrical control, the operation process of the equipment reduces the manual participation, that is, reduces the labor cost and improves the work efficiency, achieving the purpose of automation.
[0025] The feeding conveyor mechanism 2 includes a conveyor motor 203, a support 201, a conveyor belt 202, a pressing cylinder 204, and a blocking cylinder 205. The support 201 is provided on the top of the chassis 1. The conveyor belt 202 is provided on the top of the support 201.

The blocking cylinder 205 is provided at the end of the support 201 along the moving direction of the conveyor belt 202. The intercepting rod 206 is provided on the top of the blocking cylinder 205.
[0026] The carrier moving mechanism 3 includes a single-axis moving module 301, a slide rail 303, a positioning motor 302, and a conveying cylinder 304. The single-axis moving module 301 is provided on the other side of the support 201, and the positioning motor 302 is provided on the side of the single-axis moving module 301. The slide rail 303 is provided on the top of the single-axis moving module 301, and the conveying cylinder 304 is slidably provided on the slide rail 303. The conveying cylinder 304 cooperates with the single-axis moving module 301.
[0027] The carrier carries multiple products and moves to the conveyor belt 202 on the top of the support 201. Under the combined action of the conveyor motor 203 and the conveyor belt, the carrier moves to the blocking cylinder 205. At this time, the output end of the blocking cylinder 205 extends, that is, drives the intercepting rod 206 to intercept the carrier. Subsequently, the carrier is pressed and positioned by the pressing cylinder 204. After the previous carrier completes the bent-leg operation, the conveying cylinder 304 starts and its output end extends to engage with the hole on the carrier. Then, the positioning motor 302 starts and, in cooperation with the single-axis moving module 301, makes the conveying cylinder 304 move on the slide rail 303 towards the bent-leg feeding mechanism 4 until it is transported to the bent-leg feeding mechanism 4. The output end of the conveying cylinder 304 retracts, and the positioning motor 302 rotates in reverse to drive the conveying cylinder 304 to reset, preparing for the next transportation of the carrier.
[0028] The bending foot feeding mechanism 4 includes a base 401, a bracket 402, a left and right cylinder 405 and an upper and lower cylinder 406.

A connecting plate 403 is provided on the top of the bracket 402, and a slide groove 404 is provided on the connecting plate 403. Left and right cylinders 405 are provided on the side of the bracket 402, and an upper and lower cylinder 406 is provided at the end of the bracket 402 along the moving direction of the carrier; the carrier moves to the connecting plate 403, and the upper and lower cylinders 406 are started. The output ends of the upper and lower cylinders 406 are extended and inserted into the holes at the bottom of the carrier. At the same time, the left and right cylinders 405 are started, driving the upper and lower cylinders 406 and the carrier to move forward a product length distance, and the carrier moves in the slide groove 404 to enter the bending foot area to perform the bending foot operation, and then the output ends of the upper and lower cylinders 406 retract, and at the same time, the left and right cylinders 405 drive the upper and lower cylinders 406 to reset, and the above actions are repeated until this carrier completes the bending foot operation.
[0029] The bending foot mechanism 5 includes a base 501, a guide column 503, a lifting cylinder 502, a bending foot piece 504, a support frame 505, a telescopic cylinder 506, and a push rod 507.

Four guide columns 503 are symmetrically provided on the base 501, and a bending foot piece 504 is commonly provided on two guide columns 503 on each side. Each of the lifting cylinders 502 is connected to the corresponding bending foot piece 504.

[0030] After the product enters the foot bending area through the carrier, the telescopic cylinder 506 is activated, driving the push rod 507 to press the product to achieve a positioning effect, and then the lifting cylinders 502 on both sides drive the foot bending piece 504 to move upward along the guide column 503. The foot bending piece 504 is a foot bending roller, which bends the product terminal foot upward 90 degrees. Then the lifting cylinder 502 drives the foot bending piece 504 to reset, and the telescopic cylinder 506 drives the push rod 507 to retract and reset, preparing for the next product foot bending operation.
[0031] Workflow:
[0032] The vehicle carries multiple products and moves them onto the conveyor belt 202 at the top of the support 201. The vehicle moves to the blocking cylinder 205, and the output end of the blocking cylinder extends to intercept the vehicle. The vehicle is pressed and positioned by the pressing cylinder 204. The conveying cylinder 304 is activated, and its output end extends to engage with the hole on the vehicle. The positioning motor 302 cooperates with the single-axis moving module 301 to transport the vehicle onto the connecting plate 403. The up-down cylinder 406 is activated, and the output end of the up-down cylinder 406 extends and inserts into the hole at the bottom of the vehicle. At the same time, the left-right cylinder 405 is activated, driving the up-down cylinder 406 and the vehicle to move forward by a product length distance. The vehicle moves in the chute 404 and enters the bent-foot area. At the same time, the output end of the up-down cylinder 406 retracts, and the left-right cylinder 405 drives the up-down cylinder 406 to reset. After the product enters the bent-foot area through the vehicle, the telescopic cylinder 506 is activated, driving the ejector rod 507 to press against and position the product. Then, the lifting cylinders 502 on both sides drive the bent-foot part 504 to move upward along the guide column 503. The bent-foot part 504 is a bent-foot roller, which bends the terminal feet of the product upward by 90 degrees. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder 502 drives the bent-foot part 504 to reset, and the telescopic cylinder 506 drives the ejector rod 507 to retract and reset.
