Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bending machines, in particular to a quick clamping mechanism for the upper die of a bending machine. Background Art

[0002] The upper die of a bending machine is one of the tools used by the bending machine to form and process sheet materials. It mainly changes the physical state of the forming material through the pressure of the bending machine to realize the shape change processing of material articles (mainly metal sheets), so as to make the material articles obtain the required shape.

[0003] The existing upper die quick clamping device for a bending machine with the publication number of CN218744438U specifically discloses an upper clamp, which is directly fixed on the upper slider of the bending machine through bolts. The upper clamp includes an upper clamp body, a handle, an upper die pressing plate, a button and a hook knife clip strip. This device combines the characteristics of a segmented upper clamp and an integral upper clamp, retains the functions of quick loading and vertical installation of the upper die, improves the efficiency of customers replacing the die; reduces the processing difficulty, improves the standardization degree of parts, and reduces the cost; inherits the continuous bearing structure of the integral upper clamp, so that the upper die and the upper slider are evenly stressed, and improves the durability of the upper clamp.

[0004] The existing clamping mechanism for the upper die of a bending machine cannot quickly fix the upper die during use. At the same time, most of the existing clamping mechanisms work through an electric drive clamping mechanism. The electric drive mechanism completely depends on the power supply. Once the power is interrupted or the voltage is unstable, the clamping mechanism will not be able to work properly, and may even cause unexpected shutdown during the processing or damage to the workpiece. On the other hand, the manufacturing cost of the electric drive is relatively high. For this reason, we propose a quick clamping mechanism for the upper die of a bending machine.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4, the present utility model provides a technical solution for a quick clamping mechanism of an upper die of a bending machine: A quick clamping mechanism of an upper die of a bending machine includes an upper die 1. An installation plate 2 is arranged at the upper end of the upper die 1. A plurality of installation holes are arranged on the installation plate 2. A convex part 3 is arranged at the top of the upper die 1. Two spaced limiting holes 4 are respectively opened on both sides of the upper die 1. Limiting mechanisms are arranged at both ends of the installation plate 2. The limiting mechanisms can move into the limiting holes 4 to limit the upper die 1. Slots 21 are respectively opened on both sides of the upper die 1. The limiting mechanism includes a first side bracket 5. Two spaced limiting rods 6 penetrate through the first side bracket 5. The limiting rods 6 can move into the limiting holes 4. A connecting plate 7 is arranged on one side of each of the first side brackets 5. The connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the ends of the two limiting rods 6. A first rotating shaft 8 is rotatably installed on the first side bracket 5. A first gear 9 is fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft 8. A first rack 10 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 7. The first rack 10 meshes with the first gear 9. A moving mechanism is arranged on the installation plate 2. The moving mechanism is connected to the limiting rods 6 and can drive the limiting rods 6 to move. The corners of the installation plate 2 are rounded.

[0022] Among them, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the moving mechanism includes two groups of symmetrically distributed moving components. The moving components are installed on the installation plate 2. The moving component includes a side bracket 11. The side bracket 11 is fixedly installed on the installation plate 2. An inclined block 12 is arranged on one side of the side bracket 11. The inclined block 12 is arranged at the upper end of the convex part 3. The inclined block 12 can move into the slot 21. Two spaced guide rods 13 are fixedly installed on the inclined block 12. The guide rods 13 penetrate through the side bracket 11. Disks 14 are fixedly installed at the ends of the guide rods 13. The moving component further includes a second rack 15. The second rack 15 is fixedly connected to the inclined block 12. A second rotating shaft 16 is rotatably installed on the side bracket 11. A second gear 17 is fixedly installed on the second rotating shaft 16. The second gear 17 meshes with the second rack 15. An elastic member 18 is fixedly connected to the inclined block 12. The other end of the elastic member 18 is fixedly connected to the side bracket 11. A first bevel gear 19 is fixedly installed at one end of the second rotating shaft 16.

[0023] The working principle of the present utility model is:

[0024] Install the mounting plate 2 on the bending machine. When installing the upper die 1, the upper die 1 moves upward and squeezes two inclined blocks 12 through the convex part 3. The inclined blocks 12 are squeezed and move towards the side brackets 11, compressing the elastic member 18. The second rack 15 on the inclined blocks 12 moves and drives the second gear 17 to rotate. The second gear 17 and the second rotating shaft 16 rotate synchronously. The first bevel gear 19 at one end of the second rotating shaft 16 rotates and drives the second bevel gear 20 to rotate, enabling the first rotating shaft 8 and the first gear 9 to rotate synchronously. The first gear 9 drives the first rack 10 to move, causing the connecting plate 7 and the limit rods 6 thereon to rotate synchronously. The limit rods 6 at both ends move synchronously and move away from each other until the limit holes 4 move to the position of the limit rods 6;

[0025] Meanwhile, the slot 21 moves to the position of the inclined block 12, and the elastic force of the elastic member 18 drives the inclined block 12 to insert into the slot 21, thereby limiting and fixing the upper die 1 through the limit rods 6 at both ends. The clamping process of the upper die 1 is fast and does not require redundant operating steps. The mechanical transmission realizes the clamping action through physical contact and force transmission, and does not rely on electric power or electronic components. Since it does not involve electric power or complex electrical systems, the mechanical transmission method performs better in terms of stability and reliability. When the power is interrupted or the electrical system fails, the mechanical transmission clamping mechanism can still work normally, ensuring the continuity and stability of production.

[0026] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
