[0029] Reference below Figures 1 to 5 The bending device according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the bending equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a bending machine 100, a loading mechanism 200 and a unloading mechanism 300. The bending machine 100 is used to bend the raw material 410 into a finished product 420; the loading mechanism 200 is arranged on one side of the bending machine 100 and includes a storage component 210 and a first transplanting component 220. The storage component 210 is used to store the raw material 410 and to move a single raw material 410 to the material taking position respectively. The first transplanting component 220 is used to load the raw material 410 at the material taking position to the bending machine 100; the unloading mechanism 300 is arranged on the other side of the bending machine 100 and is used to unload the finished product 420 from the bending machine 100.

[0031] It can be understood that this bending equipment includes a bending machine 100 and a loading mechanism 200 and a unloading mechanism 300 respectively located on the sides of the bending machine 100. The loading mechanism 200 includes a storage component 210 and a first transplanting component 220. The storage component 210 is used to store raw materials 410 and move individual raw materials 410 to the material collection position respectively, so that the first transplanting component 220 can pick up the raw materials 410 located at the material collection position and transplant them to the bending machine 100 for bending processing. The finished product 420 after bending processing is then unloaded by the unloading mechanism 300; therefore, the bending equipment of the present application can automatically load and unload the raw materials 410 of the bending machine 100 and can improve the bending processing accuracy of the product.

[0032] It is understood that the storage component 210 includes a storage bin 211, a first drive component 212 and a sensing component 213. The storage bin 211 is used to store a plurality of raw materials 410. The output end of the first drive component 212 is connected to the storage bin 211 and is used to drive the storage bin 211 to move up and down. The sensing component 213 is used to sense that the top raw material 410 is at the material removal position. For example, Figures 1 to 2As shown, in this embodiment, the storage component 210 includes a storage bin 211, a first drive component 212 and a sensing component 213. Stacks of raw materials 410 are stored in the storage bin 211. Every time the first transplanting component 220 takes away a top raw material 410, the first drive component 212 drives the storage bin 211 to rise to a height of the thickness of the raw material 410. At the same time, the sensing component 213 is used to sense the height of the top raw material 410 so that the first drive component 212 stops driving, so that the top raw material 410 is lifted to a fixed material removal position after being taken away, so that the first transplanting component 220 can continue to take away the raw material 410 from the material removal position.

[0033] It is understood that the storage bin 211 includes a material tray and positioning blocks 2111 arranged along the circumference of the material tray, and the positioning blocks 2111 are arranged to form a receiving position for receiving the stacked raw materials 410. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the material tray and the positioning blocks 2111 located around the material tray form a receiving position for receiving the raw material 410, so that after the first transplanting component 220 takes out the raw material 410 from the receiving position, the multiple positioning blocks 2111 on the surrounding side rub the other raw materials 410 below the top raw material 410, thereby reducing the possibility of excess raw materials 410 at the bottom sticking together and improving the accuracy of transplanting a single raw material 410 each time.

[0034] It is understood that a control system is further included, and the control system is electrically connected to the bending machine 100, the loading mechanism 200 and the unloading mechanism 300 respectively. The control system can control the first transplanting assembly 220 to shake before the first transplanting assembly 220 picks up the raw material 410 and leaves the storage assembly 210 to avoid sticking to excess raw materials 410. For example, in this embodiment, this bending equipment also includes a control system, and the control system is electrically connected to the bending machine 100, the loading mechanism 200 and the unloading mechanism 300 respectively, so as to control the mutual cooperation and coordination between the bending machine 100, the loading mechanism 200 and the unloading mechanism 300 respectively, and when the first transplanting assembly 220 picks up the raw material 410 at the top of the storage bin 211, it can shake under the control of the control system, so that other raw materials 410 stuck to the bottom of the picked raw material 410 fall off, thereby improving the accuracy of each pick-up.

[0035] It is understood that the bending machine 100 includes a bending assembly and a bending die 120 distributed up and down, the bending assembly includes a bending knife 110 and a bending drive member for driving the bending knife 110 to move up and down, and the bending die 120 is provided with a bending groove 121 corresponding to the bending knife 110. For example, Figures 3 and 4As shown, in this embodiment, the bending knife 110 located above the bending die 120 can move downward under the drive of the bending drive component, thereby bending the corresponding raw material 410. The bending knife 110 squeezes and deforms the raw material 410 into the bending groove 121 of the bending die 120, thereby realizing the bending deformation of the raw material 410, and then the bending knife 110 moves upward under the drive of the bending drive component.

[0036] It is understood that at least one side of the bending die 120 is provided with a positioning mechanism, which is used to position the raw material 410 on the bending die 120. For example, Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the raw material 410 located in the bending machine 100 can be positioned by a positioning mechanism provided on at least one side of the bending die 120 to improve the accuracy of the bending process.

[0037] It can be understood that the positioning mechanism is provided on one side of the bending mold 120 and includes a second driving assembly 131 and a pushing member 132. A positioning flange 122 is provided on the other side of the bending mold 120. The output end of the second driving assembly 131 is connected to the pushing member 132 and is used to drive the pushing member 132 to move closer to or away from the positioning flange 122. For example, Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning and clamping of the raw material 410 is achieved by the pushing member 132 on one side of the bending mold 120 and the positioning protrusion 122 on the other side of the mold. After the processing is completed, the pushing member 132 is away from the raw material 410 to replace the next raw material 410 for clamping processing.

[0038] It is understood that the pusher 132 is in a right-angled shape and includes a flat portion 1321 and a vertical portion 1322. The flat portion 1321 is connected to the upper end of the vertical portion 1322 and extends horizontally toward one side of the vertical portion 1322 toward the positioning protrusion 122. The flat portion 1321 is used to press one side of the raw material 410 during the bending process. For example, Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the pushing member 132 includes a flat plate portion 1321 and a vertical portion 1322 that are interconnected. The vertical portion 1322 and the positioning protrusion 122 cooperate to clamp the raw material 410, and the flat plate portion 1321 can press the upper side of the raw material 410. Therefore, after bending, a part of the raw material 410 is always located below the flat plate portion 1321, and the other part is bent and tilted, ensuring that the finished product 420 always maintains this posture after bending, so that the blanking mechanism 300 can align the blanking.

[0039] It is understandable that the pusher 132 is a flexible member. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the pushing member 132 is made of a flexible member to avoid damage to the raw material 410 by compression or collision. Specifically, silicone, rubber, etc. can be used.

[0040] It is understood that the unloading mechanism 300 includes a unloading bin 310 and a second transfer assembly 320. The transfer path of the second transfer assembly 320 passes through the bending machine 100 and the unloading bin 310. The unloading bin 310 is V-shaped for storing the bent finished product 420. For example, Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, when unloading, the second transfer component 320 picks up the finished product 420 processed in the bending machine 100 and transfers it to the unloading bin 310. The unloading bin 310 is V-shaped to adapt to the shape of the processed finished product 420.

[0041] The embodiments of the present application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Various modifications can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application. In addition, the embodiments of the present application and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.
