[0022] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A twisting machine includes a machine base 1, a twisting device 2, and a clamping device 3. The machine base 1 is provided with a processing station for placing the workpiece to be processed. The twisting device 2 is located on the processing station and includes a turntable 21 and a twisting jaw 22. The turntable 21 is provided with the twisting jaw 22, and the twisting jaw 22 is provided with a clamping opening 23, which is connected to the twisting position of the workpiece to be processed. The clamping device 3 is located on the upper side of the machine base 1 and presses against the processing station to fix the workpiece to be processed.
[0024] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: through the cooperation of the clamping device 3 and the torsion device 2 on the processing station, the workpiece to be processed can be clamped during the torsion processing and the torsion part of the workpiece to be processed can be held by the torsion jaw 22, and the turntable 21 can be rotated to torsion it; by using the automated cooperation of the above-mentioned devices of the torsion machine, the workpiece can be quickly torsioned, which can greatly improve the processing efficiency compared with the manual clamping and torsion method.
[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning device 4, which is located on the processing station and is fixed against the workpiece to be processed.
[0026] As can be seen from the above description, by using the positioning device 4, the workpiece to be processed can be quickly assembled and positioned when arranged at the processing station.
[0027] Furthermore, the positioning device 4 includes a positioning block 41, which is located on one side of the torsion device 2.
[0028] As described above, the positioning block 41 is positioned against the workpiece to be processed. Specifically, the positioning block 41 is located on the side of the processing station near the inner frame, and is positioned by abutting against the side of the inner frame.
[0029] Furthermore, the positioning device 4 includes a positioning post 42, which is located on one side of the torsion device 2.
[0030] As described above, the positioning post 42 is positioned against the workpiece to be processed. Specifically, the positioning post 42 is located at the processing station and close to the blade of the workpiece to be processed, and is positioned by abutting against the blade of the workpiece.
[0031] Furthermore, the end of the positioning post 42 furthest from the processing station is hemispherical.
[0032] As described above, the design of the hemispherical positioning post 42 end allows it to avoid being scratched and worn by the sharp shape of the positioning post 42 when the workpiece is placed and positioned, and guides the positioning of the workpiece by the smooth surface of the hemispherical shape.
[0033] Furthermore, each of the processing stations is provided with an installation port corresponding to the torsion device 2 and the positioning device 4, and the torsion device 2 and the positioning device 4 are movable along the height direction of the machine table 1.
[0034] As can be seen from the above description, by setting the mounting port on the processing station, the torsion device 2 and the positioning device 4 can be driven to move downwards during the transfer of the workpiece and no longer protrude from the processing station, thus avoiding interference with the transfer of the workpiece.
[0035] Furthermore, the pressing device 3 is located in the middle of the machine base 1, and processing stations, torsion devices 2 and positioning devices 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the machine base 1 corresponding to the pressing device 3.
[0036] As described above, the design of the clamping device 3 located in the middle of the machine base 1, along with the symmetrical design of the processing station, the torsion device 2, and the positioning device 4, enables bilateral torsion operations that reduce the amount of workpiece transfer. Since the outer frame of the workpiece has inner frames arranged on both sides, in the previous processing, it is necessary to torsion process the blades in one inner frame and rotate the workpiece to torsion process the blades in the inner frame of the other side plate. With the above design, the blades at the first inner frame of the workpiece can be torsion processed at the processing station on one side, and then pushed to the processing station on the other side to torsion process the blades at the second inner frame of the workpiece, without having to rotate the workpiece and adjust the processing position.
[0037] Furthermore, it also includes a transfer device 5, which includes a movable gripper 51 and a movable slide rail 52. The movable slide rail 52 is connected between two processing stations, and the movable gripper 51 holds the workpiece to be processed and can move along the movable slide rail 52.
[0038] As can be seen from the above description, through the design of the transfer device 5, the workpiece that has been processed on one side of the processing station can be clamped by the automated moving gripper 51 and then moved to another processing station by the moving slide rail 52 to perform blade twisting on the other side of the inner frame of the workpiece.
[0039] Furthermore, the transfer device 5 also includes a lifting frame 53, one side of which is movably connected to the movable slide rail 52, and the other side is connected to the movable gripper 51; the movable gripper 51 is movable on the lifting frame 53 along the height direction of the machine platform 1.
[0040] As can be seen from the above description, the lifting frame 53 and the movable gripper 51 are designed to lift the workpiece at a height when the movable gripper 51 is moving, thereby avoiding the workpiece from moving on the table surface of the machine tool 1 and rubbing against it and wearing it.
[0041] Furthermore, the torsion device 2 includes a drive motor, a transmission shaft, a first gear, and a second gear. Multiple turntables 21 and torsion grippers 22 are spaced apart along the length of the machine platform 1. The bottom of the turntable 21 is connected to the first gear. The drive motor is connected to the transmission shaft. The transmission shaft is fitted with a second gear that meshes with the first gear of the multiple turntables 21.
[0042] As described above, the drive motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate, and then the second gear drives the first gear and the turntable 21 to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous torsion of the multi-blade inner frame of the workpiece.

[0046] The positioning device 4 is located on the processing station and is fixed against the workpiece to be processed.
[0047] Specifically, the positioning device 4 includes a positioning block 41 and a positioning post 42. The positioning block 41 is located on one side of the torsion device 2. The positioning post 42 is located on one side of the torsion device 2. The end of the positioning post 42 away from the processing station is hemispherical. The positioning block 41 is used for positioning against the inner frame of the workpiece, and the positioning post 42 is used for positioning against the blades of the workpiece.
[0048] Each of the processing stations is provided with an installation port corresponding to the torsion device 2 and the positioning device 4. The torsion device 2 and the positioning device 4 are movable along the height direction of the machine table 1.
