Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of automation control technology, and concretely relates to a rotary positioning mechanism for trapezoidal sheet stamping. BACKGROUND
[0002] The background technology of the trapezoidal sheet automatic rotating mechanism mainly originates from the demand for processing special-shaped workpieces in industrial automatic production and the limitations of traditional processing methods in efficiency, accuracy and adaptability.
[0003] Modern industrial production is gradually transforming into a "small batch, multi-variety" mode. Trapezoidal sheets, as irregular geometric workpieces (such as trapezoidal metal plates, trapezoidal circuit board substrates, etc.), need to be frequently adjusted in posture during stamping, welding, assembly and other processes. Traditional fixed tooling or manual operation cannot meet the rapid changeover requirements, giving rise to the demand for self-adaptive automatic rotating mechanisms.
[0004] Example: In stamping production, enterprises often use a swing shear machine instead of a blanking die for products with an approximately trapezoidal outer contour to reduce die development costs. However, the swing shear machine has significant defects in its operating characteristics: the trapezoidal sheets cut by the swing shear machine are periodically flipped by 180° (such as Figure 1 ), which is seriously inconsistent with the fixed-angle feeding standard required by subsequent stamping dies (such as Figure 2 ). The current industry generally uses manual intervention, i.e., workers manually reorganize the sheets produced by the swing shear machine to ensure uniform angles before feeding them into subsequent processes. This manual correction mode not only significantly reduces the production rhythm (the reorganization time for a single batch can be 3-5 times the production line cycle time), disrupting the automation and continuity of the production line, but also significantly increases the overall production cost due to labor cost investment and potential quality risks (such as human error leading to angle deviation).
[0005] Therefore, the utility model is proposed. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
