AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the long strip-shaped lower mold support structure has a problem that when adjusting, one end is adjusted but the other end does not deflect, resulting in inconsistent batch bending results.
A drive motor drives a rotating gear, which meshes with a toothed rack to move the pull bar within the lower mold support. Combined with the inclined groove, the support seat moves horizontally closer or further away. Stable transmission is achieved using bevel gear transmission, and the movement of the support seat is ensured by a T-shaped guide block sliding in the guide groove.
This achieves stable adjustment of the lower die support structure within a set range, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of batch bending.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool mold adjustment technology, specifically an automatically adjustable lower mold structure. Background Technology
[0002] A bending machine die is a tool used by a bending machine to shape and process sheet metal. This tool is composed of various parts, and different dies are composed of different parts. It mainly achieves the shaping of an object by changing the physical state of the material being formed. It is a tool used to shape a blank into a part with a specific shape and size under the pressure of a bending machine.
[0003] The function of the upper die is to apply pressure, causing the metal sheet to bend and deform. During the operation of the bending machine, the metal sheet is placed on the bottom die (i.e., the lower die), and then the upper die presses down, causing the sheet to bend along the shape of the lower die through pressure.
[0004] The function of the lower die is to guide the sheet metal downwards to form a bend. When the sheet metal is placed on the lower die, the upper die applies pressure, causing the sheet metal to bend along the shape of the lower die. The precision and shape of the lower die directly affect the bending angle and shape; therefore, a high-quality lower die ensures the accuracy and consistency of the bending.
[0005] Compared to the upper die, the lower die requires more frequent adjustments. Reference CN202211692718.2 describes an automatically adjustable open-end roller lower die, which uses a motor-driven offset slide to adjust the support spacing of the split-shaft side plates. Because the adjustment method is end-traction, for long, strip-shaped lower die support structures, there is a problem where one end is adjusted while the other end remains unrotated. This can easily lead to different results in the same batch of bending operations.
[0006] To address these issues, we provide an automatically adjustable lower mold structure. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an automatically adjustable lower mold structure.

[0016] In a further technical solution, the support base is fixedly connected to the lower mold support base, a steering gear is installed at the output end of the drive motor, and a transmission shaft is installed on both sides of the steering gear.
[0017] The shaft of the drive shaft is installed in the support base, and connecting bearings are installed at both ends of the support base. The inner ring of the connecting bearing is fixedly connected to the drive shaft, and the outer ring is fixedly connected to the support base.
[0018] The drive shaft located inside the support is connected to the rotating gear.
[0019] In a further technical solution, the support base is provided with a built-in groove, which is suitable for the bottom of the rotating gear to pass through;
[0020] The top height of the pull bar is lower than the top height of the inner wall of the support base.
[0021] In a further technical solution, the steering gear includes a fixed housing, a first bevel gear, and a second bevel gear. The first bevel gear is connected to the output end of the drive motor. The second bevel gear is provided in two sets and is respectively connected to the shaft end of the transmission shaft, and both are located inside the fixed housing.

[0024] In a further technical solution, the groove of the inclined strip is shaped like an inverted figure eight, extending from one end of the rotating gear meshing point to the other.
[0025] In a further technical solution, shaft blocks are installed on the opposing sides of the two sets of support seats.
[0026] Compared with existing technologies, this automatically adjustable lower mold structure has the following advantages:
[0027] This invention uses a drive motor to rotate a rotating gear, which in turn meshes with a toothed strip to move the pull bar within the lower mold support. Then, the inclined groove at the top of the pull bar drives the connecting strip at the bottom of the support base to slide along the inclined groove, thereby allowing the two sets of support bases to move closer or further apart horizontally, thus adjusting the distance between the support bases within a set range.
[0028] This invention utilizes the transmission effect of bevel gears to achieve a connection and transmission effect from the drive motor, bevel gear one, bevel gear two, transmission shaft, rotating gear, and toothed rack. Through the transmission connection structure in this embodiment, a stable transmission effect can be achieved.
[0029] This invention achieves stable guidance by installing T-shaped guide blocks in the guide groove, ensuring the certainty of the movement direction of the support seat. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0042] Example 1
[0043] Please see Figure 1-5 This invention provides a technical solution, which includes an automatically adjustable lower mold structure, including a lower mold support 1, two sets of support seats 9 installed on the lower mold support 1, and shaft blocks 2 installed on the support seats 9; the shaft blocks 2 are arranged in two sets and are parallel, and an adjustment groove is opened in the lower mold support 1, and a pull bar 3 is installed in the adjustment groove; the shaft blocks 2 move relative to or away from the support seats to achieve the mold bearing effect.
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, two sets of support seats 4 are installed at the end of the lower mold support 1, and rotating gears 5 are installed on the support seats 4; a toothed strip 6 is provided at the bottom of the pull rod 3, and the toothed strip 6 meshes with the rotating gear 5; a drive motor 7 is installed on the outside of the lower mold support 1, and the drive motor 7 is adapted to drive the two sets of rotating gears 5 to rotate; the drive motor drives the rotating gears to rotate, and the rotating gears mesh with the toothed strip to realize the movement of the pull rod within the lower mold support. Finally, the support seat is driven by the inclined groove at the top of the pull rod. Figure 3 The horizontal movement of the middle part moves closer or further away, thereby achieving an effective connection of the lower mold support.
[0045] The two sets of parallel shaft blocks 2 are adapted to move towards or away from each other as the pull bar 3 moves laterally.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, inclined grooves 31 are provided on the pull bar 3, and each set of pull bars 3 has at least two sets of inclined grooves 31; this embodiment uses three sets of inclined grooves 31. In this embodiment, the drive motor drives two sets of rotating gears to rotate, which can be achieved by using a structure such as a dual-axis motor.
[0047] The bottom of the shaft block 2 extends into the adjusting groove and is fitted with a connecting strip 91, which is adapted to slide within the inclined groove 31. The length of the connecting strip 91 is not shown in the figure, but it can be limited to 1 / 4 of the length of the inclined groove to ensure support.

By sliding on the inclined groove, the two sets of support seats can move closer or further apart. Furthermore, by controlling the working time of the drive motor, the pull bar is kept inside the lower mold support 1 to prevent the toothed strip from disengaging from the rotating gear.
[0048] Example 2
