[0039] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] The purpose of the utility model is to design a bending die for processing steel plates into clamps of specific shapes.

[0041] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: Figure 1-7 As shown, a steel plate 21 bending die comprises: a workbench 1, a bending die, a cutting unit 2 and a feeding unit 3; the cutting unit 2 is used to cut the steel plate 21 to be processed conveyed by the feeding unit 3.

[0042] The steel plate 21 is transferred from the feeding unit 3 to the processing position, cut by the cutting unit 2, and then pressed and bent by the bending die;

[0043] The working plane of the workbench 1 is vertically arranged; the feeding unit 3, the cutting unit 2 and the bending die are arranged on the workbench 1 from left to right in sequence;

[0044] The bending mold includes a mold core 4, an upper mold unit 5, a left lower mold unit 6 and a right lower mold unit 7; the mold core 4 is arranged in the middle of the bending mold; the upper mold unit 5 is located directly above the mold core 4; the left lower mold unit 6 and the right lower mold unit 7 are arranged below the mold core 4 in a mirror-symmetrical manner;

[0045] The bending die is used to produce clamps; the upper part of the clamp produced is a semi-circular ring structure, and the two bottom feet at the lower end of the clamp are bent outward to form a mounting ear.

[0046] The upper die unit 5 is provided with a U-shaped groove, and the corresponding die core 4 is in the shape of a structure in which the upper part is semicircular and the lower part is trapezoidal. The upper die unit 5 presses the steel plate 21 downward onto the die core 4, so that the steel plate 21 is pressed into a U-shape to form the shape of the upper part of the clamp; at this time, the left lower die unit 6 moves to the left, and bends the left corner of the steel plate 21 to the left, while the right lower die unit 7 moves to the right, and bends the right corner of the steel plate 21 to the right, so that the two corners of the steel plate 21 are bent outward by 90 degrees respectively, thereby forming two mounting ears of the clamp;

[0047] Furthermore, the upper die unit 5 includes a first cylinder 8 and an upper die block 9;

[0048] The upper die block 9 is provided with a U-shaped groove, which cooperates with the die core 4 to press into the shape of the upper part of the clamp;

[0049] The first cylinder 8 is fixed on the workbench 1, and its telescopic end is fixedly connected to the upper module 9;

[0050] The upper mold unit 5 also includes vertical parallel guide rails fixed to the workbench 1. The upper die block 9 is slidably connected to these rails. During use, the first cylinder 8 of the upper mold unit 5 is activated, pushing the upper die block 9 downward along the rails. The U-shaped groove of the upper die block 9 cooperates with the mold core 4, pressing the steel plate 21 onto the mold core 4. The semicircular portion of the mold core 4 and the upper die block 9 compress the steel plate 21 into a U-shape, forming the semicircular ring shape of the upper portion of the clamp.

[0051] Furthermore, the left lower mold unit 6 and the right lower mold unit 7 have the same structure; both include a cylinder and a module; specifically,

[0052] The left lower die unit 6 includes a second cylinder 10 and a left die block 11;

[0053] The second cylinder 10 is arranged horizontally, and drives the left module 11 to move horizontally left and right;

[0054] The right lower mold unit 7 includes a third cylinder 14 and a right mold block 15 ; the third cylinder 14 is arranged horizontally, and the right mold block 15 is driven by the third cylinder 14 to move left and right.

[0055] Furthermore, the left module 11 includes a connecting portion 12 and a working portion 13; the connecting portion 12 is a long strip structure, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder 10 and the working portion 13 respectively;

[0056] The working part 13 is initially arranged at the bottom of the mold core 4; the shape of the working part 13 is a trapezoidal structure, the top of the working part 13 is flat, and the left side of the working part 13 has an inclined surface; when in use, the upper mold unit 5 presses the steel plate 21 downward onto the mold core 4; the steel plate 21 is pressed into a U-shape to form the shape of the upper part of the clamp; at this time, the left module 11 moves to the left, and the inclined surface of the working part 13 first contacts the left corner of the bottom of the steel plate 21, and gradually bends the left corner of the bottom of the steel plate 21 to the left; until the top of the working part 13 contacts the left corner of the bottom of the steel plate 21 , the top of the working part 13 bends the left corner of the bottom of the steel plate 21 to 90 degrees; it should be noted that the bottom surface of the upper module 9 is flat. When the upper module 9 presses the steel plate 21 downward onto the mold core 4, the bottom surface of the upper module 9 and the top of the working part 13 are parallel to each other, and the distance between the two is slightly greater than the thickness of the steel plate 21; when the left module 11 moves to the left to the final position, the top of the left module 11 and the bottom surface of the upper module 9 restrict the left corner of the bottom of the steel plate 21 between the two, so that the left corner of the bottom of the steel plate 21 appears to be bent outward 90 degrees;

[0057] The third cylinder 14 drives the right module 15 to move rightward, bending the right corner of the steel plate 21 90 degrees to the right. Ultimately, the bending of the left and right modules 11 and 15 forms the two mounting ears of the clamp. Because the structure and operating principle of the right module 15 are similar to those of the left module 11, except for the opposite direction, the specific structure and operating principle of the right module 15 will not be repeated in this application.

[0058] Furthermore, the cutting unit 2 includes a cutting cylinder 16 , a movable cutter 17 and a fixed cutter 18 ;

[0059] The shutoff cylinder 16 is fixed on the workbench 1 and is arranged vertically; the telescopic end of the shutoff cylinder 16 is connected to the movable tool 17;

[0060] The fixed tool 18 is fixed on the workbench 1, and a horizontal through slot is opened in the middle of the fixed tool 18; the width of the through slot is equal to the thickness of the steel plate 21;

[0061] During use, the movable cutter 17 is driven by the cutting cylinder 16 to move downward and cooperate with the fixed cutter 18 to cut the steel plate 21. Since the width of the through slot is equal to the thickness of the steel plate 21, the part of the steel plate 21 located in the through slot will be restricted by the inner wall of the through slot, preventing the steel plate 21 from moving up and down during the cutting process; and during the cutting operation, the feed unit 3 stops moving and the steel plate 21 is clamped by the feed unit 3 to prevent the steel plate 21 from moving left and right during the cutting process, thus ensuring the accuracy of the cutting process; the movable cutter 17 moves in accordance with the lateral movement of the fixed cutter 18 during the movement process, and can conveniently cut the steel plate 21 that extends out of the through slot.

[0062] It should be noted that before the truncation work begins, the feeding unit 3 first conveys a section of steel plate 21 to be processed to between the bottom surface of the upper module 9 and the top of the mold core 4, and then the feeding unit 3 stops working, and the first cylinder 8 drives the upper module 9 to move downward and slightly presses down on the steel plate 21. At this time, the steel plate 21 is fixed between the bottom surface of the upper module 9 and the top of the mold core 4. The advantage of this step is that when the truncation work is completed, the truncated steel plate 21 will not lose control and will be fixed by the bottom surface of the upper module 9 and the top of the mold core 4, which is convenient for the next step of profiling. After the truncation work is completed, the first cylinder 8 drives the upper module 9 to continue to move downward until the steel plate 21 is completely pressed on the mold core 4, completing the profiling work on the upper part of the clamp.

[0063] Furthermore, the feeding unit 3 includes multiple groups of conveying rollers; each group of conveying rollers includes an upper roller 19 and a lower roller 20 that are symmetrically arranged in the upper and lower parts.

[0064] The upper roller 19 and the lower roller 20 are rotatably connected to the workbench 1. The power input terminals of the upper and lower rollers 19 and 20 are connected to a motor, which provides power to drive the upper and lower rollers 19 and 20 to rotate. The friction between the upper and lower rollers 19 and 20 clamps the steel plate 21 and conveys it forward. The motor speed can be adjusted as needed to control the feed rate of the steel plate 21 to meet different production requirements.

[0065] The steel plate 21 is pressed between the upper roller 19 and the lower roller 20 and is transported to the cutting unit 2 as the upper roller 19 and the lower roller 20 rotate. It should be noted that since the length of the steel plate 21 required for each clamp is equal, the transmission of the feeding unit 3 is intermittent, that is, it stops for a period of time after each length of steel plate 21 required for a clamp is delivered. This period of time is used for cutting the steel plate 21 and processing the bending mold. After the processing is completed, the next transmission cycle begins.

[0066] The working principle and process are as follows:

[0067] First, if Figure 2 As shown, the motor of the feeding unit 3 is started, and the motor drives the upper roller 19 and the lower roller 20 to start rotating, and the steel plate 21 is placed between the upper roller 19 and the lower roller 20 of the feeding unit 3. The steel plate 21 is clamped under the action of friction and transported to the cutting unit 2 as the upper roller 19 and the lower roller 20 rotate.

[0068] Then, when the front end of the steel plate 21 reaches the appropriate position of the cutting unit 2, the motor of the feeding unit 3 is turned off to stop the feeding. The cutting cylinder 16 of the cutting unit 2 is started, and the telescopic end of the cutting cylinder 16 drives the movable tool 17 to move downward. The movable tool 17 cooperates with the fixed tool 18 to cut the steel plate 21.

[0069] At this time, the cut steel plate 21 is located at the bending die, and the first cylinder 8 of the upper die unit 5 is started, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the first cylinder 8 pushes the upper die block 9 to move downward along the parallel guide rails, pressing the steel plate 21 onto the die core 4, so that the steel plate 21 is pressed into a U shape to form the shape of the upper part of the hoop.

[0070] Next, the second cylinder 10 of the left lower die unit 6 is activated, which drives the left die block 11 to move leftward, bending the left corner of the steel plate 21 to the left. At the same time, the third cylinder 14 of the right lower die unit 7 is activated, bending the right corner of the steel plate 21 to the right, and finally forming the two mounting ears of the clamp.

[0071] Finally, after the bending operation is completed, the processed clamp is removed from the mold by manual removal or by setting an automatic ejection device.

[0072] The embodiments of the present invention are provided for purposes of illustration and description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.
