Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sheet metal processing equipment, and in particular to a feeding device for U-shaped sheets. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, sheet metal work is a comprehensive cold processing technology for thin metal sheets, including shearing, punching / cutting / combined cutting, bending, welding, riveting, splicing, and forming.

[0003] The forming process of sheet metal involves the pressing action of upper and lower molds to form the sheet metal. However, in the forming of some special-shaped sheet metal, there is a problem of material unloading. The main reason is that U-shaped sheet metal has a corresponding U-shaped lower mold. When the upper mold presses on the sheet metal, the height difference between the sheet metal and the lower mold body is negative, which obstructs the sheet metal and prevents it from being unloaded smoothly. This often requires the use of other complex unloading mechanisms or manual unloading, which results in high labor costs and high costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a feeding device for U-shaped plates to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a feeding device for U-shaped plates, including a base;

[0006] The base is provided with a lower mold body, a roller assembly and a drive assembly; the lower mold body is U-shaped and its U-shaped opening faces a first direction; the roller assembly is located on one side of the lower mold body and is adapted to drive the plate to move along a second direction;

[0007] The roller assembly includes a plurality of roller groups arranged along a first direction. Each roller group includes a roller frame, a drive shaft, and roller bodies arranged at intervals along a second direction. The drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the roller frame and connected to the roller bodies. The drive assembly is used to drive the drive shaft to rotate.

[0008] The roller body includes a first roller, which is made of an elastic material and includes an original state and a deformed state. In the original state, the highest point of the first roller is higher than the highest point of the lower mold body.

[0009] In the above process, when the upper mold presses down, the upper mold and the lower mold body cooperate to shape the plate. When the upper mold presses down, it acts on the first roller through the plate. The first roller is made of elastic material, so it will deform and change from the original state to the deformed state. After the plate is shaped, the upper mold moves upward, and the first roller, which has lost pressure, will release elastic potential energy, thereby lifting the plate upward. Finally, the height of the plate can exceed the height of the lower mold body. At this time, the drive component can drive the roller assembly to rotate, thereby driving the plate to move. This solution cleverly designs an elastic first roller, which effectively solves the problem of difficult U-shaped plate cutting by utilizing its elastic recovery ability. It has a simple structure, ingenious design, and strong practicality.

[0010] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive motor, a transmission chain, and a sprocket;

[0011] The sprockets are provided in multiple locations and are respectively located on the drive ends of the multiple drive shafts and the drive motor;

[0012] The transmission chain is used to connect the sprocket so that the drive motor drives the plurality of the transmission shafts to rotate;

[0013] In the above implementation process, the drive motor can drive the sprocket connected to it to rotate. The sprocket drives the lower sprocket to rotate through the transmission chain. The rotating sprocket can drive the transmission shaft to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft can drive the roller body connected to it to rotate. It can be understood that several sprockets can be set on a transmission shaft. In this way, the action of multiple roller groups can be realized through the cooperation of sprockets and transmission chains, thereby realizing the rotation of multiple roller bodies to drive the plate to move.

[0014] Preferably, a plurality of limiting blocks are provided on both sides of the roller assembly, the limiting blocks being used to limit the plate;

[0015] The limiting block is located in the second direction of the roller assembly;

[0016] In the above implementation process, the limiting block can limit the two ends of the plate, thereby enabling the plate to achieve more stable directional movement.

[0017] Preferably, the roller body further includes a second roller; when the plate reaches the upper mold pressing point, the second roller is outside the coverage area of ​​the plate;

[0018] In the above implementation process, the first roller needs to play a role in promoting the repositioning of the plate. Therefore, when the upper mold presses down, the first roller located below the plate is made of elastic material. It is understood that the position of the plate is fixed when it is being shaped, and the transmission range is greater than the range covered by the plate during pressing. Therefore, the second roller in the area not covered by pressing can be made of non-elastic material, so as not to affect the plate during pressing.

[0019] Preferably, it also includes an auxiliary material support assembly disposed on the base;

[0020] The auxiliary material support assembly includes a material support frame and a driven wheel rotatably mounted on the material support frame;

[0021] In the above implementation process, this solution further sets some driven wheels to fill some positions, instead of setting them all as driving wheels, which can reduce costs without affecting the normal transportation of the panels.

[0022] Preferably, the first roller is made of one of the following materials: elastic rubber, elastic plastic, or polyurethane.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: In this solution, the first roller is made of elastic material, so it will deform and change from the original state to the deformed state; after the plate is shaped, the upper mold moves upward, and the first roller, which has lost pressure, will release elastic potential energy, thereby lifting the plate upward. Finally, the height of the plate can exceed the height of the lower mold body. At this time, the drive component can drive the roller assembly to rotate, thereby driving the plate to move; This solution cleverly designs an elastic first roller, which effectively solves the problem of difficult U-shaped plate blanking by utilizing its elastic recovery ability. It has a simple structure, ingenious design, and strong practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To further understand the utility model content, features, and effects of this application, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0036] Example

[0037] The forming process of sheet metal utilizes the pressing action of upper and lower molds to achieve the forming of the sheet metal. However, in the forming of some special-shaped sheet metal, there is a problem of material unloading difficulties. The main reason is that U-shaped sheet metal has a corresponding U-shaped lower mold. When the upper mold presses onto the sheet metal, the height difference between the sheet metal and the lower mold body is negative, thus obstructing the sheet metal and preventing it from being unloaded smoothly. This often requires the use of other complex unloading mechanisms or manual unloading, which is labor-intensive and costly. To solve the above technical problems, this embodiment provides the following technical solution:

[0038] For details, please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a feeding device for U-shaped plates, including a base 10;

[0039] Specifically, a lower mold body 11, a roller assembly 20, and a drive assembly are provided on the base 10; the lower mold body 11 is U-shaped, and its U-shaped opening faces the first direction; the roller assembly 20 is located on one side of the lower mold body 11 and is adapted to drive the plate to move along the second direction;

[0040] Specifically, the roller assembly 20 includes several roller assemblies 20 arranged along a first direction. Each roller assembly 20 includes a roller frame 21, a drive shaft 22, and roller bodies arranged at intervals along a second direction. The drive shaft 22 is rotatably mounted on the roller frame 21 and connected to the roller bodies. The drive assembly is used to drive the drive shaft 22 to rotate.

[0041] Furthermore, the roller body includes a first roller 231, which is made of an elastic material and includes an original state and a deformed state. In the original state, the highest point of the first roller 231 is higher than the highest point of the lower mold body 11.

[0042] In the above scheme, when the upper mold presses down, the upper mold and the lower mold body 11 cooperate to shape the plate. When the upper mold presses down, it acts on the first roller 231 through the plate. The first roller 231 is made of elastic material, so it will deform and change from the original state to the deformed state. After the shaping of the plate is completed, the upper mold moves upward, and the first roller 231, which has lost pressure, will release elastic potential energy, thereby lifting the plate upward. Finally, the height of the plate can exceed the height of the lower mold body 11. At this time, the drive component can drive the roller group 20 to rotate, thereby driving the plate to move. This scheme cleverly designs the elastic first roller 231, and uses its elastic recovery ability to effectively solve the problem of difficult U-shaped plate cutting. The structure is simple, the design is ingenious, and the practicality is strong.

[0043] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a drive motor 31, a transmission chain 32, and a sprocket 33;

[0044] Furthermore, multiple sprockets 33 are provided and are respectively located on multiple transmission shafts 22 and the drive end of the drive motor 31;

[0045] The transmission chain 32 is used to connect the sprocket 33 so that the drive motor 31 drives the plurality of transmission shafts 22 to rotate.

[0046] In the above implementation process, the drive motor 31 can drive the sprocket 33 connected to it to rotate. The sprocket 33 drives the downward sprocket 33 to rotate through the transmission chain 32. The rotating sprocket 33 can drive the transmission shaft 22 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 22 can drive the roller body connected to it to rotate. It can be understood that several sprockets 33 can be set on one transmission shaft 22. In this way, the action of multiple roller groups 20 can be realized through the cooperation of sprockets 33 and transmission chain 32, thereby realizing the rotation of multiple roller bodies to drive the plate to move.

[0047] Specifically, several limiting blocks 40 are provided on both sides of the roller assembly 20, and the limiting blocks 40 are used to limit the plate;

[0048] Furthermore, the limiting block 40 is positioned in the second direction of the roller assembly 20;

[0049] In the above scheme, the limiting block 40 can limit the two ends of the plate, thereby enabling the plate to achieve more stable directional movement.

[0050] Specifically, the roller body also includes a second roller 232; when the plate reaches the upper mold pressing point, the second roller 232 is outside the coverage area of ​​the plate;

[0051] In the above scheme, the first roller 231 needs to play a role in promoting the repositioning of the plate. Therefore, when the upper mold presses down, the first roller 231 located below the plate is made of elastic material. It is understood that the position of the plate is fixed when it is being shaped, and the transmission range is greater than the range covered by the plate during pressing. Therefore, the second roller 232 in the area not covered by pressing can be made of non-elastic material, so as not to affect the plate during pressing.

[0052] Specifically, it also includes an auxiliary material support assembly 50 disposed on the base 10;

[0053] Furthermore, the auxiliary material support assembly 50 includes a material support frame 51 and a driven wheel 52 rotatably mounted on the material support frame;

[0054] In the above scheme, this scheme further sets some driven wheels 52 to fill part of the position, instead of setting them all as driving wheels, which can reduce costs without affecting the normal transportation of the board.

[0055] Specifically, the first roller is made of one of the following materials: elastic rubber, elastic plastic, or polyurethane.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this application shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of this application.
