[0034] Honeycomb aluminum buckle conveying mechanism 2 is provided with conveying servo motor 201, conveying servo motor 201 is connected with motor rotating shaft, motor rotating shaft is provided with rotating disc 203, the outer surface of rotating disc 203 is provided with conveying belt 204, and the surface of conveying belt 204 is provided with magnetic chuck 205.
[0035] Honeycomb aluminum buckle tightness adjusting mechanism 3 is provided with tightness adjusting rotating disc 301, tightness adjusting rotating disc 301 is connected with tightness adjusting screw rod 302, and tightness adjusting screw rod 302 is connected with tightness adjusting plate 303.
[0036] Honeycomb aluminum buckle punching mechanism 4 is provided with punching pneumatic cylinder 401, punching pneumatic cylinder 401 is connected with punching telescopic air rod 402, the tail end of punching telescopic air rod 402 is provided with punching head 403, and punching pneumatic cylinder 401 is arranged on L-shaped air cylinder fixed plate 404.
[0037] Punching pneumatic cylinder 401 and punching telescopic air rod 402 are arranged below honeycomb aluminum buckle, and honeycomb aluminum buckle thread hole drilling mechanism 5 is provided with threaded motor 501, threaded motor 501 is connected with threaded rotating shaft 502, and the tail end of threaded rotating shaft 502 is provided with threaded drill bit 503.
[0038] The specific working process of honeycomb aluminum buckle automatic forming equipment is as follows:
[0039] First, the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate to be processed is placed vertically on the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate conveying mechanism. Start the conveying servo motor 201 to drive the motor rotating shaft to rotate, and then rotate the rotating disc 203. The conveying belt 204 on the outer surface of the rotating disc 203 moves accordingly. The conveying belt 204 is vertically arranged, and the magnetic suction disc 205 on the surface of the conveying belt 204 is attached to the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate. The magnetic suction disc 205 is vertically fixed on the conveying belt 204, one side of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate is attached to the vertical magnetic suction disc 205, and the other side of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate is tightly attached to the tension adjustment plate 303.
[0040] By rotating the tension adjustment rotating disc 301, the tension adjustment lead screw 302 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the tension adjustment lead screw 302 moves the tension adjustment plate 303. The tension adjustment plate 303 is arranged at the center of the adjustment honeycomb aluminum buckle plate. The tension adjustment plate 303 is arranged at the center of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate. During the bending process of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate, only the edge part of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate is bent. Therefore, the tension adjustment plate 303 does not affect the bending of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate during the clamping of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate.
[0041] One side of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate is attached to the vertical magnetic suction disc 205 on the vertical conveying belt 204. By tightening the tension adjustment lead screw 302, the tension adjustment plate 303 and the adjustment honeycomb aluminum buckle plate are clamped with increased clamping force. The honeycomb aluminum buckle plate placed between the tension adjustment plate 303 and the vertical magnetic suction disc 205 is clamped and fixed by the tension adjustment plate 303 and the vertical magnetic suction disc 205. Clamping and fixing ensure stability during the conveying process.
[0042] At the same time, the tension adjustment rotating disc 301, the tension adjustment lead screw 302 and the tension adjustment plate 303 are installed on the mounting bracket 304, and the mounting bracket 304 is arranged at the front end of the conveying belt 204. The mounting bracket 304 is connected to the conveying belt 204, so that when the conveying belt 204 moves, the mounting bracket moves synchronously, and the tension adjustment rotating disc 301, the tension adjustment lead screw 302 and the tension adjustment plate 303 on the mounting bracket 304 move synchronously with the conveying belt 204, realizing clamping and conveying of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate.
[0043] When the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate reaches the specified punching position, the punching pneumatic cylinder 401 works to push the punching telescopic air rod 402 to extend. The punching head 403 at the end of the punching telescopic air rod 402 moves upward to punch the position of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate that needs to be punched. The positions of the punching pneumatic cylinder 401, the punching telescopic air rod 402 and the punching head 403 can be fixed at different positions according to different punching process requirements. After punching is completed, the punching pneumatic cylinder 401 drives the punching telescopic air rod 402 and the punching head 403 to retract, preparing for the next punching.
[0044] After the punching is completed, the thread processing of the hole is carried out, and the thread motor 501 is started to drive the thread rotating shaft 502 to rotate. The thread drill bit 503 at the end of the thread rotating shaft 502 rotates to drill threaded holes on the side edges of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate. The part waste generated during the punching and thread drilling process will fall into the part storage box 101 below the forming equipment workbench 1 for centralized collection and processing.
[0045] After punching and thread processing, bending is performed by the set of roller bending mechanisms 6. The honeycomb aluminum buckle plate continues to be conveyed to the 6 sets of roller bending mechanisms by the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate conveying mechanism. The angles of the 6 sets of roller bending mechanisms gradually change, and the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate conveying mechanism provides power. The bending rollers 603 with gradually changing angles generate extrusion force on the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate, which will make the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate bend according to the gradually changing angles of the bending rollers 603. The bending rollers 603 will split the bending action of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate into different angles according to the preset bending angle requirements. As the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate continuously advances, the bending rollers 603 gradually bend the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate according to the predetermined angles. The bending rollers 603 will exert extrusion force on the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate according to the required bending angle setting, split the bending action into multiple simple and controllable small-angle bending, and the angles of the bending rollers 603 gradually change. The angle difference between the bending rollers 603 gradually increases. This allows the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate to gradually adapt to larger bending angles during bending, thereby avoiding material damage or deformation caused by sudden large-angle bending. After the continuous action of the 6 sets of bending rollers, the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate will complete the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate forming according to the predetermined shape and angle.
[0046] The automatic honeycomb aluminum buckle plate forming equipment realizes a series of automatic processing operations such as conveying, tension adjustment, punching, and thread drilling of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate through the coordinated work of various mechanisms, improving production efficiency and processing quality.
[0047] Example 2: A honeycomb aluminum buckle plate automatic forming equipment, the size of the processed honeycomb aluminum buckle plate is 600mm x 600mm, and the thickness is 8mm. The honeycomb aluminum buckle plate to be processed is placed on the magnetic suction disc 205 of the conveying belt 204, and the conveying servo motor 201 is started to convey the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate to the processing position at a speed of 0.5m / s. According to the actual situation of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate, the tightness adjusting plate 303 is fixed in the appropriate position by rotating the tightness adjusting rotating disc 301, so as to ensure that displacement does not occur during processing. When the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate reaches the punching position, the punching pneumatic cylinder 401 pushes the punching telescopic air rod 402 to extend at a working pressure of 0.6MPa, so that the punching head 403 punches the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate. The diameter of the punching head 403 is 5mm, and corresponding holes are punched on the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate according to the design requirements. After punching, the conveying belt 204 continues to convey the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate to the thread hole drilling position. The thread motor 501 drives the thread rotating shaft 502 to rotate at a speed of 1500r / min, so that the thread drill 503 drills a threaded hole on the side edge of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate. The diameter of the thread drill 503 is 3mm. The waste generated during punching and thread hole drilling will automatically fall into the part storage box 101 below the forming equipment workbench 1 for centralized collection and treatment.
[0048] Example 3: A honeycomb aluminum buckle plate automatic forming equipment, in this embodiment, another specification of honeycomb aluminum buckle plate is processed, the size of which is 300mm x 300mm, and the thickness is 6mm. The honeycomb aluminum buckle plate is placed on the magnetic suction disc 205 of the conveying belt 204, and the conveying servo motor 201 is started to convey the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate to the processing area at a speed of 0.5m / s. The position of the tightness adjusting plate 303 is adjusted by the tightness adjusting rotating disc 301, so that the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate is firmly fixed, preparing for subsequent processing.
[0049] When the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate reaches the punching position, the punching pneumatic cylinder 401 pushes the punching telescopic air rod 402 at a pressure of 0.6MPa, so that the punching head 403 with a diameter of 5mm punches the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate. After punching, the conveying belt 204 sends the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate to the thread hole drilling position. The thread motor 501 drives the thread rotating shaft 502 to rotate at a speed of 1500r / min, so that the thread drill 503 with a diameter of 3mm drills a threaded hole on the side edge of the honeycomb aluminum buckle plate. The waste generated during processing falls into the part storage box 101 for subsequent unified treatment.
