[0002] A drum washing machine is a common household appliance, and the drum is a crucial structural component. It consists of three stamped parts: the front cover, the rear cover, and the drum body. The front cover is located at the front of the drum, with a hole in the center. This hole is formed by stamping a straight section and an outwardly rolled end on a 0.4mm thick stainless steel sheet. The straight section increases the strength of the front cover, while the outwardly rolled end prevents burrs from causing injury. The standard stamping process for the front cover hole is as follows: first, a punching device is used for pre-punching; then, a straightening device is used to straighten the hole; and finally, a rolling device is used to roll the hole.
[0003] Existing methods for forming the front cover of washing machines often involve using different devices to process straight holes and roll them into circles, resulting in low efficiency in forming the front cover of drum washing machines. This solution addresses this technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0023] To more clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.
[0024] See Figures 1-7 A front cover forming device for a drum washing machine includes a frame 1, a support frame 2 mounted on the frame 1, a lower top material block 3 mounted on the frame 1, and an upper top material block 4 mounted on the support frame 2 that can be lifted and lowered. A washing machine front cover 5 is disposed between the lower top material block 3 and the upper top material block 4. A straight hole punching assembly 6 for processing straight holes is mounted on the bottom side of the washing machine front cover 5 that can be lifted and lowered. A rolling assembly 7 for processing rolling is mounted on the top side of the washing machine front cover 5. The straight hole punching assembly 6 is connected to the frame 1, and the rolling assembly 7 is connected to the support frame 2.
[0025] The straight hole assembly 6 includes a hydraulic cylinder 61 mounted on the frame 1, a straight hole punch 62 with one end connected to the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 61, and a positioning punch 63 at the other end of the straight hole punch 62 that passes through the center hole of the front cover 5 of the washing machine.
[0026] The rolling assembly 7 includes a second hydraulic cylinder 71 mounted on the support frame 2, and a rolling punch 72 connected to the telescopic end of the second hydraulic cylinder 71. The side of the rolling punch 72 is provided with a rolling punch groove 721.
[0027] The edge of the lower top material block 3 is provided with a baffle 31 for fixing the front cover 5 of the washing machine.
[0028] Several hydraulic cylinders 41 are arranged in an array on the support frame 2, and the upper material block 4 is mounted on the support frame 2 in a way that allows it to be raised and lowered via the hydraulic cylinders 41.
[0029] The ends of the straight hole punch 62, the positioning punch 63, and the rolling punch 72 are all provided with rounded corners.
[0030] The specific working process of this utility model:
[0031] See Figure 4With the washing machine front cover 5 fixed in place, the perforated, flat washing machine front cover 5 is first placed on the lower top material block 3. Under the action of the baffle 31, the washing machine front cover 5 and the lower top material block 3 are coaxial. Hydraulic cylinder three 41 is activated, and several hydraulic cylinders three 41 drive the upper top material block 4 down until it contacts the washing machine front cover 5. Then, hydraulic cylinder one 61 is activated, causing the positioning punch 63 on the straight hole punch 62 to pass through the opening of the washing machine front cover 5, further positioning the washing machine front cover 5. Then, hydraulic cylinder three 41 is activated again to drive the upper top material block 4 to extrude and form the washing machine front cover 5. See details below. Figure 5 The forming process of the washing machine front cover 5 is as follows: after forming, the side of the washing machine front cover 5 is pressed out with concave and convex surfaces.
[0032] See then Figure 6 During the process of punching a straight hole in the front cover 5 of the washing machine, hydraulic cylinder 61 continues to operate. Hydraulic cylinder 61 drives the straight hole punch 62 to continue rising. The front cover 5 of the washing machine is first pre-punched under the action of the positioning punch 63, and then punched out a straight hole under the action of the straight hole punch 62. The state after punching out the straight hole is shown in the figure. Figure 6 .
[0033] After the front cover 5 of the washing machine is punched with a straight hole, hydraulic cylinder 61 drives the straight hole punch 62 to descend and detach from the front cover 5. Then, hydraulic cylinder 71 is activated to drive the rounding punch 72 into the straight hole of the front cover 5. The rounding punch 72 continues to descend until the edge of the straight hole contacts the rounding groove 721. The straight hole is punched with a rolled edge by the rounding groove 721, completing the processing of the entire front cover 5 of the washing machine. The processed front cover 5 of the washing machine is shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown, hydraulic cylinder 2 71 drives the rolling punch 72 to rise, and hydraulic cylinder 3 41 drives the upper material block 4 to rise. Finally, the washing machine front cover 5 is taken out and the next washing machine front cover 5 is processed.
[0034] Through the cooperation of the upper top material block 4, the lower top material block 3, the straight hole punch 62 in the straight hole punching assembly 6, and the rolling punch 72 in the rolling assembly 7, the side forming, punching and rolling of the washing machine front cover 5 are achieved in one step, avoiding the low forming efficiency caused by multiple changes of processing equipment, and the forming efficiency of the front cover of the drum washing machine is relatively high.
[0035] The positioning accuracy of the washing machine front cover 5 is improved by the positioning of the upper baffle 31 of the lower top material block 3 and the positioning punch 63, thereby making the processing and forming accuracy of the washing machine front cover 5 higher.
[0036] By setting the positioning punch 63, the straight hole of the washing machine front cover 5 is pre-processed and gradually enlarged, avoiding stress concentration when punching with the straight hole punch 62 directly. On the other hand, the positioning accuracy of the washing machine front cover 5 is improved.
[0037] The technical features of this utility model not described can be implemented by or by using existing technology, and will not be repeated here. Of course, the above description is not a limitation of this utility model, and this utility model is not limited to the examples above.
