Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of material forming, in particular to a punching and bending integrated machine for forming a band end. Background Art

[0002] The gas reservoir band assembly consists of a band and an L-shaped band reinforcement plate. The conventional manufacturing process involves punching and bending the band strip, then welding the L-shaped band reinforcement plate to the corresponding position of the formed band end. This is then rounded to form the gas reservoir band assembly that meets product requirements. This means that the production efficiency of the gas reservoir band assembly is low. During mass production, it is necessary to develop corresponding punching and bending dies for specific gas reservoir band assembly models. Not only is the mold development cost high and the development cycle long, but the developed molds are also difficult to adapt to the production of other gas reservoir band assembly models.

[0008] Preferably, a handle is also included, which is fixed on the bending column to drive the bending column to rotate.

[0009] Further preferably, the angle between the feed hole and the handle is 135°.

[0010] Furthermore, the punching device is a hydraulic punching device, including a motor, a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic cylinder, an oil cylinder, a reversing valve and a punch fixing platform. The motor is connected to the hydraulic pump, and the hydraulic pump is respectively connected to the oil cylinder and the reversing valve through oil circuits.

The bending column rotates upward and the punch moves downward into the slot. When the rotation reaches the limit, the punch is perpendicular to the strip in the feed hole and the punching is completed. The bending column rotates in the opposite direction and the punch is reset. After the strip contacts the bottom plate and is limited, the bending column continues to rotate. The stress of the strip at the feed port of the feed hole is concentrated, causing it to bend until the bending angle reaches the product requirements of the hoop. This achieves the one-time completion of the punching and bending of the strip on the same device, which not only improves production efficiency but also saves the cost and time of mold development.
