[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the steel plate bending circuit system for the outer shell of the electric energy metering box provided by the present utility model includes three-phase power supplies L1, L2, L3 and a grounding wire PE, which are connected to the system through a main circuit breaker QF. The system mainly consists of three parts: a conveying motor control circuit, a liquid pump motor control circuit, and a sequence control circuit.

[0028] The conveying motor control circuit includes a contactor KM1, a thermal relay FR1, and a conveying motor M1. The conveying motor M1 is a three-phase asynchronous motor and is connected to the three-phase power supply through the main contacts of the contactor KM1. The thermal relay FR1 is connected in series with the conveying motor to monitor the working current of the motor and automatically disconnect the circuit when the motor is overloaded to protect the motor from damage. The outer shell of the conveying motor is grounded through the PE terminal to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. The main function of the conveying motor is to drive the rollers to convey the steel plate to the bending position.

[0029] The liquid pump motor control circuit includes contactor KM2, contactor KM3, thermal relay FR2, and liquid pump motor M2. The liquid pump motor M2 is also a three-phase asynchronous motor and is connected to the three-phase power supply through the main contacts of contactor KM2 or KM3. Contactor KM2 controls the forward rotation of the liquid pump motor to drive the hydraulic rod to press down for bending the steel plate; contactor KM3 controls the reverse rotation of the liquid pump motor to drive the hydraulic rod to move upward for resetting. The thermal relay FR2 is connected in series with the liquid pump motor for overload protection. The outer shell of the liquid pump motor is grounded through the PE terminal to ensure equipment safety.

[0030] The sequence control circuit consists of a steel plate conveying control unit, a downward pressing and bending control unit, and an upward moving and resetting control unit.

[0031] The steel plate conveying control unit includes push-button switch SB1, time relay KT1, and contactor KM1. The operator presses the push-button switch SB1 to start the system, and the coils of the time relay KT1 and the contactor KM1 are energized simultaneously. The main contacts of the contactor KM1 close, and the conveying motor M1 starts to work, driving the rollers to convey the steel plate to the bending position. The time relay KT1 starts timing to control the conveying time and ensure that the steel plate stops after accurately reaching the bending position.

[0032] The downward pressing and bending control unit includes time relay KT2 and contactor KM2. When the steel plate is conveyed in place and the time delay of the time relay KT1 ends, its normally open contacts 5-6 close, and the coils of the time relay KT2 and the contactor KM2 are energized. The main contacts of the contactor KM2 close, and the liquid pump motor M2 starts to rotate forward, driving the hydraulic rod to press down for bending the steel plate. At the same time, the time relay KT2 starts timing to control the time and ensure that the steel plate is bent at the required angle.

[0033] The upward moving and resetting control unit includes time relay KT3 and contactor KM3. When the pressing is completed and the time delay of the time relay KT2 ends, its normally open contacts 11-12 close, and the coils of the time relay KT3 and the contactor KM3 are energized. The main contacts of the contactor KM3 close, and the liquid pump motor M2 starts to rotate in reverse, driving the hydraulic rod to move upward for resetting. The time relay KT3 starts timing to control the reset time and ensure that the hydraulic rod is completely moved upward for resetting.

[0034] When the reset is completed and the time delay of the time relay KT3 ends, its normally closed contacts 1-2 open, and the entire control circuit is de-energized, and the system completes a complete bending cycle. Then the above steps are repeated.

[0035] The working process of the system is as follows:

[0036] Preparation stage: The operator places the steel plate to be processed on the rollers, then turns on the power supply and closes the main circuit breaker QF, and the system is in the standby state.

[0037] Startup stage: The operator presses the push-button switch SB1, and the time relay KT1 and the contactor KM1 are energized simultaneously, and the system starts to work.

[0038] Conveying stage: The main contacts of the contactor KM1 close, and the conveying motor M1 starts to work, driving the rollers to convey the steel plate to the bending position. At the same time, the time relay KT1 starts timing.

[0039] Pressing and bending stage: When the time delay of the time relay KT1 ends, its normally open contacts 5-6 close, and the contacts 3-4 open. The relay KM1 loses power, the conveying motor M1 stops working, and the coils of the time relay KT2 and the contactor KM2 are energized. The main contacts of the contactor KM2 close, and the liquid pump motor M2 starts to rotate forward, driving the hydraulic rod to press down to bend the steel plate. At the same time, the time relay KT2 starts timing.

[0040] Lifting and resetting stage: When the time delay of the time relay KT2 ends, its normally open contacts 11-12 close, and the normally closed contacts 7-8 open. The relay KM2 is open-circuited, and the hydraulic rod no longer moves down. The coils of the time relay KT3 and the contactor KM3 are energized. The main contacts of the contactor KM3 close, and the liquid pump motor M2 starts to rotate in reverse, driving the hydraulic rod to lift and reset. At the same time, the time relay KT3 starts timing.

[0041] Reset completion stage: When the time delay of the time relay KT3 ends, its normally closed contacts 1-2 open, and the entire control circuit is de-energized, and the system completes a complete bending cycle. Then the above steps are repeated.

[0042] In addition, the time delay of the time relay KT1 determines the working time of the conveying motor, which needs to be adjusted appropriately according to the size of the steel plate and the speed of the rollers to ensure that the steel plate stops accurately at the bending position. The time delay of the time relay KT2 determines the forward rotation time of the liquid pump motor, that is, the pressing time, which needs to be adjusted appropriately according to the thickness of the steel plate and the bending angle requirements to ensure sufficient bending of the steel plate. The time delay of the time relay KT3 determines the reverse rotation time of the liquid pump motor, that is, the reset time, which needs to ensure that the hydraulic rod can be fully lifted and reset to prepare for the next bending. The time delay parameters of the above time relays can be finely adjusted by turning the knobs on the relays to adapt to the bending requirements of different specifications of steel plates and ensure the best bending effect.

[0043] The steel plate bending circuit system of the outer shell of the electric energy metering box of the present utility model adopts a relay logic control structure, does not rely on a complex programming controller, and realizes the automatic control function through the conversion of contact states and the time delay of the time relay. Compared with the traditional manual or semi-automatic bending method, the present utility model has a high degree of automation, realizes the automatic control of steel plate conveying, downward pressing and bending, and upward moving and resetting, and greatly improves the production efficiency. The present utility model can be applied to the bending processing of steel plates for the outer shells of electric energy metering boxes of various specifications. By adjusting the time delay parameters of the time relay, it can adapt to the bending requirements of steel plates of different specifications and thicknesses.

[0044] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
