Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bending equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic pressure plate mechanism for a bending center pressure knife. Background Technology

[0002] Bending centers are machines primarily used for bending thin metal sheets. They can automatically perform multi-sided bending on thin sheet workpieces, featuring high speed and efficiency. Bending centers can achieve automatic positioning, effectively achieving high precision, saving labor and reducing costs. The main structure of existing bending centers includes a CNC system, a servo forward and backward moving mechanism, a servo upward moving mechanism, a lower die fixing mechanism, and an automatic pressure plate mechanism for the upper pressure knife. During bending, the workpiece is deformed by the upper pressure and the lower pressure plate mechanism, thus completing the bending process. During the operation of the automatic pressure plate mechanism for the upper pressure knife in the bending center, sufficient pressure is required to ensure that the sheet metal does not shift during bending, thereby affecting the bending accuracy.

[0003] Traditional automatic pressure plate mechanisms for upper pressure knives in bending centers use linear guides on both sides and a motor and reducer in the middle to drive the lead screw, which moves the entire upper pressure knife seat up and down in a linear motion. This structure is costly and difficult to debug. When bending thicker plates, it often fails to hold the plate down, resulting in low stability and affecting the bending effect of the plate.

[0004] Referring to patent publication number "CN222288411U", the patent title is "A Flexible Bending Center for Folding Long Plates". This technical solution discloses "a flexible bending center for folding long plates, relating to the field of sheet metal processing equipment technology, including a frame, a pressing frame, a pressing mold, a bending blade holder, an upper bending blade, a lower bending blade, and a drive mechanism. This utility model, by setting up a drive mechanism, drives a first lead screw to rotate by starting a first drive motor, and through the cooperation of a fixed push frame, a third slide, and a third guide rail, the pressing frame presses and fixes the sheet metal. Then, the first drive motor is stopped, and through a second drive assembly and a third drive assembly,..." The bending tool holder drives the upper and lower bending blades to move and rise, which can compress the sheet metal. At this time, the sheet metal is bent and formed under the obstruction of the pressure die. Then, the above operation is reversed to release the fixation of the bent sheet metal. Through the individual control of the first drive motor, the second drive component, and the third drive component, the processing efficiency of the sheet metal can be further improved. Although this technical solution can achieve the effect of automatically pressing down and fixing the sheet metal, it uses a screw drive structure. The screw drive structure is not easy to adjust and cannot ensure smooth pressing when dealing with thicker sheets, which can easily cause the sheet metal to loosen and affect the bending effect.

[0005] Therefore, how to achieve automatic and stable clamping of the sheet metal is the main technical problem that technicians need to solve. Utility Model Content

In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] The following combination Figures 1 to 7 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are described in detail.

[0035] In Example 1, to achieve automated and smooth pressing of bent sheet metal, existing automatic pressing mechanisms mainly rely on screw drives, which have relatively low transmission torque and cannot guarantee smooth pressing of the sheet metal. In this example: a fixed base 1, a pressing arm assembly 2, an upper pressing seat 24, and a drive assembly 3 are provided. The pressing arm assembly 2 and the drive assembly 3 are both located on top of the fixed base 1. The pressing arm assembly 2 includes a connecting shaft 21 and a swinging middle arm 22. The connecting shaft 21 is rotatably mounted on top of the swinging middle arm 22. Swinging side arms 23 are provided on both sides of the swinging middle arm 22, and the two ends of the connecting shaft 21 are respectively connected to the two swinging side arms 23. The upper pressing seat 24 is connected to the bottom of both the swinging side arms 23 and the swinging middle arm 22. An upper pressing cutter 25 is detachably provided directly below the upper pressing seat 24. The swinging middle arm 22 and the swinging side arms 23 can be connected by a connecting shaft. The arm 23 is connected by a transmission mechanism, and a transmission rod 4 is provided at the bottom of the swing arm 23. The top of the transmission rod 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 21. A connecting kit 5 is movably provided at the bottom of the transmission rod 4. An eccentric shaft 6 is provided inside the connecting kit 5. The eccentric cam of the eccentric shaft 6 is fixed in the inner cavity of the connecting kit 5, so that one end of the eccentric shaft 6 is connected to the drive assembly 3. Therefore, the drive assembly 3 can drive the eccentric shaft 6 to rotate. During the rotation of the eccentric shaft 6, the eccentric cam drives the transmission rod 4, which in turn drives the connecting shaft 21. This achieves the effect of automatically driving the swing arm 23 and the swing middle arm 22 to perform synchronous up and down reciprocating motion. When the swing middle arm 22 and the swing arm 23 move downward, the upper pressure cutter 25 can be driven to approach the bending plate and press the plate to be bent smoothly.

[0036] It should be noted that the drive assembly 3 includes a servo motor 31 and a reducer 32. The power output end of the servo motor 31 is connected to the power input end of the reducer 32, and the power output end of the reducer 32 is connected to one end of the eccentric shaft 6 via a spline, thereby increasing the transmission torque.

[0037] It should also be noted that by providing mounting through holes 26 for installing the connecting shaft 21 in both the swing arm 22 and the swing side arm 23, and by providing a self-aligning bearing 27 inside the mounting through hole 26, the connecting shaft 21 can be inserted into the inner hole of the self-aligning bearing 27. Thus, when the swing arm 22 and the swing side arm 23 are driven to move up and down synchronously by the connecting shaft 21, it can also be ensured that the positions of the swing arm 22 and the swing side arm 23 are aligned.

[0038] It should be noted that by providing bearing supports 61 on the outside of both ends of the eccentric shaft 6, and by providing rotating bearings 62 inside the bearing supports 61, both ends of the eccentric shaft 6 pass through the rotating bearings 62, so that the eccentric shaft 6 can rotate smoothly when the drive assembly 3 drives the eccentric shaft 6 to rotate.

[0039] In this embodiment, it is necessary to further explain that by providing annular pressure plates 52 on both sides of the outer side of the connecting kit 5, one side of the annular pressure plate 52 is in contact with the side of the eccentric wheel of the eccentric shaft 6, and the annular pressure plate 52 is detachably provided on the outside of the connecting kit 5, thereby facilitating the secure installation of the eccentric shaft 6 inside the connecting kit 5.

[0040] Example 2: This example combines the technical solution of Example 1. To achieve pressing of thicker plates, since the thickness of the plates varies, the automatic pressing mechanism needs to be adjusted during the bending process to accommodate plates of different thicknesses. In this example: an adjusting nut 41 is threaded to the bottom of the transmission rod 4, and a fixing stud is provided at the top of the connecting kit 5. The adjusting nut 41 is threaded to the fixing stud, and the position of the adjusting nut 41 and the fixing bolt 51 can be adjusted to adjust the length of the transmission rod 4, thus enabling pressing of plates of different thicknesses. A locking element can be added at the connection between the transmission rod 4 and the connecting kit 5. After adjusting the length, the connection position of the transmission rod 4 and the connecting kit 5 can be fixed by the locking element.

[0041] It should be noted that by setting a fixing nut 42 on the top of the transmission rod 4, the top of the transmission rod 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft 21 through the fixing nut 42, which effectively facilitates the adjustment of the connection position between the transmission rod 4 and the connecting shaft 21, and facilitates installation and disassembly maintenance.

[0042] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses; for parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments. Those skilled in the art should also understand that the actions and modules involved in the specification are not necessarily essential to the present invention. Furthermore, it is understood that the steps in the method of the present invention embodiments can be adjusted, combined, and deleted according to actual needs, and the structure in the device of the present invention embodiments can be combined, divided, and deleted according to actual needs.

[0043] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
