[0002] Automotive sheet metal parts are products made by a comprehensive cold working process on metal sheets and are widely used in automobile shells and structural components. Sheet metal is a comprehensive cold working process for metal sheets, including shearing, punching / cutting / combining, folding, welding, riveting, splicing, forming and other steps. Sheet metal parts have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, good conductivity, low cost and suitability for large-scale production. These characteristics make them widely used in the automotive industry. Commonly used sheet metal materials include ordinary cold rolled steel SPCC, galvanized steel SECC, hot dip galvanized steel SGCC and different types of stainless steel Each material has its specific application scenarios and advantages. In automobile manufacturing, sheet metal is used to make various parts such as body shells, doors, hoods, etc., which not only play a protective role, but also affect the appearance and aerodynamic performance of the vehicle. By folding, the rigidity and bending resistance of sheet metal can be significantly increased, especially when subjected to external forces, it can effectively prevent the material from deformation. The folded sheet metal can better withstand daily wear and collision during long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the product. Folding can also make the edges of sheet metal neater and smoother, thereby improving the appearance of the entire vehicle.

[0003] In the prior art, folding devices face some significant challenges in practical applications. These devices are often designed for single-piece processing mode, which means that they are less efficient when performing batch or diversified production and cannot perform synchronous folding processing on multiple sheet metal parts at the same time, which limits the overall speed and production capacity of the production line.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different perspectives and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 An automatic folding device for automobile sheet metal parts includes: a folding body 7, installed on a mounting assembly, the folding body 7 includes: multiple mounting frames 9; multiple upper pressing plates 10, respectively detachably installed on the multiple mounting frames 9; multiple mounting frames 12, installed on the mounting assembly; multiple lower pressing plates 11, respectively detachably installed on the multiple mounting frames 12; a protective cover 4, installed on the mounting assembly, and the folding body 7 is located inside the protective cover 4.

[0025] The upper pressure plate 10 is a component that directly contacts the sheet metal and applies pressure. It is responsible for bending the edge of the sheet metal downward to form the required shape. The design of the upper pressure plate 10 ensures uniform distribution of pressure on the sheet metal, avoiding deformation or damage caused by excessive local force. According to different folding requirements, upper pressure plates 10 of different shapes or sizes can be quickly replaced, which improves the applicability and production efficiency of the device. It is made of high-wear-resistant materials, which extends the service life of the upper pressure plate 10 and reduces maintenance costs.

[0026] The lower pressure plate 11 is used in conjunction with the upper pressure plate 10 to complete the folding process of the sheet metal. It is responsible for supporting the sheet metal from the bottom and assisting the upper pressure plate 10 to complete the folding. The lower pressure plate 11 works closely with the upper pressure plate 10 to form an effective folding force, thereby improving the folding effect and quality. Like the upper pressure plate 10, it is made of wear-resistant material to ensure long-term stability and reliability.

[0027] The protective cover 4 is used to prevent safety accidents caused by sheet metal parts flying out accidentally during the folding process, effectively isolating the operator from the sheet metal parts being processed, greatly reducing safety risks. The protective cover 4 is usually made of transparent or translucent materials to facilitate the operator to observe the folding process. The surface of the protective cover 4 is smooth, not easy to accumulate dust, and easy to clean and maintain.

[0028] The folding body 7 also includes: multiple fasteners 13, which are respectively arranged on multiple mounting frames 9 and multiple mounting frames 12. The upper pressure plate 10 is arranged to be detachably mounted on the mounting frame 9 through the fasteners 13, and the lower pressure plate 11 is arranged to be detachably mounted on the mounting frame 12 through the fasteners 13.

[0029] The function of the fastener 13 is to ensure that the upper pressure plate 10 and the lower pressure plate 11 can be firmly mounted on their respective frames, and at the same time facilitate quick replacement and maintenance. When it is necessary to replace the folding mold of different shapes or specifications, the operator can easily remove the fastener 13 and replace the corresponding upper pressure plate 10 or lower pressure plate 11 to meet different production needs. This not only improves the adaptability and production efficiency of the equipment, but also reduces maintenance costs by simplifying the operating process, reflecting the modern manufacturing industry's demand for efficient and flexible production equipment.

[0030] The installation assembly includes: a base plate 1, which is connected to the installation frame 12; a mounting frame 5, which is installed on the base plate 1 and is in an inverted L shape; a telescopic member 6, which is installed on the mounting frame 5; a support member 8, which is installed below the telescopic member 6 and is connected to the installation frame 9.

[0031] The telescopic member 6 is installed on the mounting frame 5 and is responsible for driving the movement of the upper pressing plate 10 and the lower pressing plate 11. The telescopic member 6 is a hydraulic cylinder or other driving member to realize the folding operation of the sheet metal parts. Its precise control capability ensures the accuracy and repeatability of the folding process.

[0032] Multiple limiting components 3 are installed on the mounting component. The limiting components 3 include: an electric telescopic rod 1 305 installed on the mounting frame 5; a support plate 301 installed on the base plate 1; and an electric telescopic rod 2 302 installed on the support plate 301.

[0033] The electric telescopic rod 305 is responsible for driving the limit plate 303 to move in the horizontal direction. This design enables the limit plate 303 to be adjusted in position according to sheet metal parts of different sizes or shapes to adapt to different processing requirements.

[0034] The electric telescopic rod 2 302 and the electric telescopic rod 1 305 work together to further control the position of the limit plate 303. Through the joint action of the electric telescopic rod 2 302 and the electric telescopic rod 1 305, the sheet metal parts can be accurately positioned and fixed, thereby meeting the processing requirements of different sheet metal parts. This design improves the flexibility and applicability of the device.

[0035] The limiting assembly 3 also includes: two limiting plates 303, which are respectively installed on the electric telescopic rod 1 305 and the electric telescopic rod 2 302, and are configured to move under the drive of the electric telescopic rod 1 305 and the electric telescopic rod 2 302; two protective pads 304, which are respectively installed on the two limiting plates 303, and the protective pads 304 are located on the side of the limiting plate 303 close to the sheet metal.

[0036] Two protective pads 304 are respectively installed on one side of the limiting plate 303 close to the sheet metal part. The main function of these protective pads 304 is to protect the surface of the sheet metal part from damage during the folding process, and to prevent the sheet metal part from accidentally flying out and causing safety accidents.

[0037] The protective cover 4 includes: a transparent telescopic cover body 401, which is installed on the support 8. The transparent telescopic cover body 401 is provided with an opening 402 for use with the support 8, and a notch 403 for use with the electric telescopic rod 1 305 and the electric telescopic rod 2 302.

[0038] The transparent telescopic cover body 401 is made of high-strength, transparent materials, such as polycarbonate or acrylic. This design enables the operator to clearly observe the status of the sheet metal during the folding process, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the processing process. At the same time, the transparent material also has good impact resistance and wear resistance, and can maintain stable performance in harsh working environments. The opening 402 is an important feature on the protective cover 4. It allows the electric telescopic rod 1 305 and the electric telescopic rod 2 302 to pass through the protective cover 4 for operation. This design not only ensures the normal movement of the electric telescopic rod 1 305 and the electric telescopic rod 2 302, but also prevents external impurities from entering the interior of the equipment, protecting the cleanliness and normal operation of the equipment, and protecting the operator from flying metal fragments and other potential hazards during the folding process. It effectively isolates the processing area, reduces the probability of work-related accidents, and also protects the surrounding equipment and environment from damage.

[0039] The controller 2 is mounted on the base plate 1 and includes a display screen and control buttons. The controller 2 is electrically connected to the telescopic member 6, the transparent telescopic cover body 401, the electric telescopic rod 1 305 and the electric telescopic rod 2 302 respectively.

[0040] The display screen is used to display information such as the equipment's working status, parameter settings, and operation prompts. Through the display screen, operators can intuitively understand the equipment's operating conditions and make corresponding adjustments as needed.

[0041] Control buttons are used to directly control the equipment. Operators can start or stop the equipment or adjust the operating parameters of the equipment by pressing different buttons. The design of these buttons is usually concise and easy to operate.

[0042] The electrical connection between the controller 2 and the telescopic member 6, the transparent telescopic cover body 401, the electric telescopic rod 1 305 and the electric telescopic rod 2 302 ensures that the controller 2 can receive feedback signals from these components in real time and issue control instructions as needed.

[0043] During use, the device is installed on a stable workbench and ensure that there is enough space in the working area for operation to avoid obstacles around that affect the normal operation of the equipment. According to the size and shape of the sheet metal, select the appropriate number of mounting frames 1 9 and 2 12, and fix the upper pressing plate 10 and the lower pressing plate 11 on the mounting frame 1 9 and the mounting frame 2 12 through fasteners 13 to ensure that the upper pressing plate 10 and the lower pressing plate 11 are in good contact with the sheet metal and can apply uniform pressure. When in use, place the sheet metal on the lower pressing plate 11, turn on the power, start the electric telescopic rod 1 305 and the electric telescopic rod 2 302 through the controller 2, limit the sheet metal, and then control the telescopic member 6 to operate through the controller 2 so that the upper pressing plate 10 and the lower pressing plate 11 start to fold the sheet metal. When the telescopic member 6 moves downward, it drives the transparent telescopic cover body 401 to move downward. During the processing, the operator can check the situation inside the protective cover 4 at any time to ensure that the folding process of the sheet metal proceeds smoothly and any abnormal situation is discovered and handled in time.

[0044] Thus, although the present invention has been described herein with reference to specific embodiments thereof, freedom of modification, various changes and substitutions are within the foregoing disclosure, and it should be understood that in some cases, some features of the present invention will be employed without the corresponding use of other features without departing from the scope and spirit of the proposed invention. Thus, many modifications may be made to adapt particular circumstances or materials to the true scope and spirit of the present invention.
