Abstract

[0002] Automatic folding equipment is an industrial device specifically designed for the automated folding of lugs (protruding parts at edges or specific locations) on sheets (such as cardboard, battery electrodes, etc.). It is widely used in packaging, new energy battery manufacturing, electronic component production and other fields.
[0003] Traditional automatic lug folding equipment often fails to adequately consider the distribution and release of internal material stress during the folding process. After folding, residual stress within the material gradually releases after detaching from the tooling, causing unpredictable deformation of the lug portion, thus affecting the folding accuracy and the final product's appearance quality.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.
[0033] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.
[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 9 The automatic ear-folding device according to one embodiment of the present utility model includes a machine body 10, a material positioning component 20 installed on the top surface of the machine body 10, a folding component 30 installed on one side of the material positioning component 20, and a shaping component 40 installed below the folding component 30.
[0036] The material positioning assembly 20 includes a suction plate 21 mounted on the top surface of the machine body 10, a pressure pad 22 detachably mounted on one edge of the suction plate 21, sensors 23 mounted on opposite ends of the bottom surface of the suction plate 21, and a limiting block 24 mounted on one end of the suction plate 21. The suction plate 21 is hollow and connected to a vacuum generator. Multiple suction holes are spaced apart on the top surface of the suction plate 21, connecting to its interior. In use, a sheet is placed on the top surface of the suction plate 21, the limiting block 24 abuts against the sheet, the sensors 23 pass through the suction plate 21 and detect upwards whether the sheet is in position, and the vacuum generator creates a vacuum to firmly position the sheet.
[0037] In this embodiment, sensor 23 is located on one side of pressure pad 22, and sensor 23 is a photoelectric sensor.
[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the side of the pressure pad 22 facing away from the suction plate 21 has a concave surface or a wedge-shaped surface.
[0039] The folding assembly 30 includes a support beam 31 located on one side of the suction plate 21, a floating baffle 32 detachably mounted on the support beam 21, a Z-axis linear module 33 detachably mounted on the support beam 31, a lower pressure head 34 connected to the Z-axis linear module 33, and an elastic pre-pressure block 35 connected to one side of the lower pressure head 34; the elastic pre-pressure block 35 is correspondingly arranged with the pressure pad 22; the floating baffle 32 is used to abut against one edge of the sheet to achieve alignment.
[0040] Specifically, the pressing head 34 is used to abut against the lug portion 51 of the sheet, and the elastic pre-compression block 35 is used to abut against the main body portion 52 of the sheet. When folding the lug, it is combined with... Figures 4 to 7 To understand the process, the Z-axis linear module 33 drives the lower pressure head 34 and the elastic pre-pressure block 35 to fall. The main body 52 of the sheet is clamped between the elastic pre-pressure block 35 and the pressure pad 22 to ensure that the position of the sheet does not shift during operation. Next, the Z-axis linear module 33 continues to drive the lower pressure head 34 to fall, and the lower pressure head 34 pushes the lug portion 51 of the sheet to achieve initial bending along the edge of the pressure pad 22.
[0041] Understandably, since the pressure plate 22 is detachably mounted on the suction plate 21, the number and position of the pressing heads 34 can be flexibly matched according to the number and position of the lugs 51 on the sheet in actual use. Similarly, since the pressing heads 34 and the elastic preload block 35 are detachably mounted on the bearing beam 31 via the Z-axis linear module 33, the number and position of the pressing heads 34 can be flexibly matched according to the number and position of the lugs 51 on the sheet in actual use.
[0042] In this embodiment, the length direction of the supporting beam 31 is parallel to the side edge of the sheet.
[0043] The shaping component 40 includes a transfer linear module 41 located below the supporting beam 31, a transverse plate 42 connected to the transfer linear module 41, a shaping pressure block 43 detachably connected to one side of the transverse plate 42, and support plates 44 located on opposite sides of the transfer linear module 41. The opposite ends of the transverse plate 42 are slidably connected to the top of the support plate 44 via guide rail pairs to improve the stability of the movement of the transverse plate 42. The shaping pressure block 43 corresponds one-to-one with the pressure pad 22. The transfer linear module 41 drives the shaping pressure block 43 to move toward the pressure pad 22, driving the lug portion 51 of the initially bent sheet to bend further along the crease position. That is, after the lug portion 51 of the sheet is further bent, it enters the concave surface or wedge-shaped surface of the pressure pad 22. Through slightly excessive bending, the lug portion 51 of the sheet can effectively release its internal stress, ensuring the bending effect of the lug portion 51 of the sheet.
[0044] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the shaping block 43 has a clearance 430 in the middle, which is used to accommodate the lower pressure head 34.
[0045] The above-mentioned automatic ear-folding device has a simple structure and is easy to use. It uses the shaping pressure block 43 to drive the convex part 51 of the sheet to bend into the concave surface or wedge-shaped surface of the pressure pad 22, so that the convex part 51 of the sheet can effectively release its internal stress and ensure the bending effect of the convex part 51 of the sheet.
[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0047] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
