Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of forming equipment, and in particular to a corner post forming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The corner pillars of a standard container are composed of corner fittings and corner pillar workpieces. The corner pillar workpieces are made of thin metal sheets through a certain bending process. Because the thin sheets have poor rigidity, they are prone to deformation and instability under stress, and are difficult to position and clamp. In order to improve product quality and improve the bending process, a special person is usually assigned to manually grab the bent sheet in front of the molding machine for reprocessing, so that the corner pillar workpieces that have been bent by the molding machine can be re-loaded and bent. Although the process objective is achieved, for the mass production of corner pillar workpieces, manual operation not only reduces production efficiency and increases production costs, but also poses safety hazards. At the same time, the high-decibel harsh noise and flying dust generated by molding and bending can also affect the health of workers. Utility Model Content

[0055] This application provides a corner post forming equipment for molding thin metal sheet workpiece 9 to form corner posts.

[0056] The corner column forming equipment includes a feeding device 1, a molding device 3, a transfer conveying device 2, a support device 4, and a positioning device 5. The support device 4 has a support plane 41 for supporting the workpiece 9. The positioning device 5 is provided corresponding to the support device 4 and is used to position the workpiece 9 on the support plane 41 longitudinally and laterally. The feeding device 1, the molding device 3, and the transfer conveying device 2 are arranged sequentially in the transverse direction. The feeding device 1 is configured to transfer the workpiece 9 to the support plane 41; the molding device 3 is provided corresponding to the support device 4 and is configured to perform molding and bending on the workpiece 9 after it has been positioned on the support plane 41 by the positioning device 5; the transfer conveying device 2 is configured to receive the workpiece 9 after it has been bent once by the molding device 3 and then transport the bent workpiece 9 back to the support plane 41 so that the positioning device 5 can reposition the workpiece 9 and the molding device 3 can re-bend the positioned workpiece 9.

[0057] In the production process of this application, after the feeding device 1 transfers the workpiece 9 to the supporting plane 41, the positioning device 5 positions the workpiece 9 longitudinally and laterally on the supporting plane 41. The positioned workpiece 9 is then bent by the molding device 3. Next, the transfer conveying device 2 can accept the workpiece 9 after it has been bent once by the molding device 3, and transport the bent workpiece 9 back to the supporting plane 41, so that the positioning device 5 can reposition the workpiece 9. The repositioned workpiece 9 is then bent again by the molding device 3 to form the product.

[0058] The corner column forming equipment of this application, by separately arranging a feeding device 1 and a transfer conveyor 2 on both sides of the molding device 3, allows the workpiece 9 to be transferred to the support plane 41 for molding from both sides of the molding device 3, thereby improving production efficiency, facilitating the improvement of the bending process 9, and expanding the types of products that can be applied. Simultaneously, before molding and bending, the workpiece 9 is positioned using a positioning device 5 to adjust its longitudinal and transverse positions, improving molding accuracy and ensuring production quality. Furthermore, there is no need to manually operate the workpiece 9 after one bending on the side of the molding device 3 away from the feeding device 1, reducing production costs and minimizing safety hazards.

[0059] The following is a detailed introduction to this corner column forming equipment.

[0060] Figure 1A schematic diagram of the corner column forming equipment is shown. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the transfer conveyor 2 is shown. For ease of description, the conveying direction of workpiece 9 is defined as transverse.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The corner column forming equipment includes a feeding device 1, a molding device 3, and a transfer conveying device 2 arranged in sequence along the transverse direction.

[0062] The feeding device 1 includes a first frame 11 and a first conveying structure. The first conveying structure can drive the workpiece 9 to move laterally relative to the first frame 11 so as to convey the workpiece 9 to the support plane 41.

[0063] The transfer conveying device 2 includes a second frame 21 and a second conveying structure 22. The second conveying structure 22 can drive the workpiece 9 to move laterally relative to the second frame 21 so as to convey the workpiece 9 to the support plane 41.

[0064] Specifically, the first frame 11 and the second frame 21 are respectively disposed on the lateral sides of the molding device 3. The support device 4 can be disposed on the first frame 11 and / or the second frame 21, or disposed on the molding device 3 located between the first frame 11 and the second frame 21. That is, the support device 4 can be disposed on the first frame 11, or on the second frame 21, or simultaneously on the first frame 11 and the second frame 21, or disposed on the molding device 3 located between the first frame 11 and the second frame 21, as long as the workpiece 9 located on the support plane 41 can be molded and bent by the molding device 3. In addition, the first frame 11, the molding device 3 and the second frame 21 can be disposed separately, or all three can be disposed as one unit, or any two of them can be disposed as one unit.

[0065] In fact, the first conveying structure can be a synchronous belt, a lateral pushing structure, or a workpiece 9 clamping structure that can achieve lateral movement, etc., set on the first frame 11. The first conveying structure can also be a mechanical gripper, a mechanical arm with a suction cup, or a mobile suction cup that can perform lateral driving, etc., independent of the first frame 11.

[0066] In some other embodiments, the second conveying structure 22 includes a transverse conveying assembly 221, a magnetic attraction assembly 223, and a clamping assembly 224. The transverse conveying assembly 221 is disposed on the second frame 21 and can move laterally relative to the second frame 21, specifically by means of a motor lead screw or a cylinder slider. The magnetic attraction assembly 223 and the clamping assembly 224 are both located on the transverse conveying assembly 221 and can move laterally with the transverse conveying assembly 221. The top surface of the magnetic attraction assembly 223 has a magnetic attraction plane that can place and magnetically attract the workpiece 9, specifically by using a magnet or an electromagnet to magnetically attract the workpiece 9. The clamping assembly 224 includes a power component and a clamping component. The power component is used to drive the clamping component downward toward the magnetic attraction plane to clamp the workpiece 9 located on the magnetic attraction plane, or to drive the clamping component upward away from the magnetic attraction plane to release the workpiece 9 located on the magnetic attraction plane. The power component can be a rotary motor 5131, etc. When the clamping assembly 224 clamps the workpiece 9 located on the magnetic suction plane, the transverse conveying assembly 221 can move laterally to convey the workpiece 9.

[0067] Furthermore, the second conveying structure 22 also includes a vertical conveying assembly 222. The vertical conveying device is mounted on the horizontal conveying device and can move vertically relative to the horizontal conveying device. The magnetic suction device and the clamping device are mounted on the vertical conveying device and can move vertically with the vertical conveying device, facilitating the magnetic suction plane to receive the workpiece 9. In addition, it can simultaneously drive the workpiece 9 to be conveyed horizontally and vertically, thereby facilitating the unloading of the workpiece 9 onto the support plane 41 and reducing interference with other components.

[0068] In addition, the structures of the first transmission structure and the second transmission structure 22 can be set with reference to each other. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first transmission structure and the second transmission structure 22.

[0069] The molding device 3 of this application includes a mold 31 and a top pressing member located above the mold 31. After the thin plate workpiece 9 enters the support plane 41, the thin plate workpiece 9 is located between the mold 31 and the top pressing member. The bending process of the thin plate workpiece 9 is realized by pressing down by the top pressing member.

[0070] In addition, the corner column forming equipment also includes a transfer device, which has a clamping end for holding the workpiece 9. The transfer device is configured to clamp the workpiece 9, which has been bent on the support plane 41, onto the transfer conveyor 2 via the clamping end.

[0071] Specifically, the transfer device can be a robotic arm equipped with a suction cup, which serves as a clamping end to remove the workpiece 9 from the mold 31 without damaging the workpiece 9.

[0072] The second frame 21 is also equipped with a transfer bracket 8, which is located on the side of the second frame 21 away from the molding device 3. The top of the transfer bracket 8 has a support surface for supporting the workpiece 9. The support surface of the transfer bracket 8 can temporarily place the workpiece 9, facilitating the transfer of the workpiece 9. In actual use, the transfer device can take the workpiece 9, which has been bent once, from the mold 31 and place it on the transfer bracket 8. Then, the workpiece 9 on the support surface is clamped, flipped, and placed on the second conveying structure 22 located on the side of the second frame 21 away from the molding device 3. The second conveying structure 22 can then transport the bent workpiece 9 again to the support plane 41 near the molding device 3. The transfer device can flip the workpiece 9 on the transfer bracket 8 by 180° through the clamping end, facilitating bending and other processing on the other side of the workpiece 9, satisfying various workpiece 9 processing techniques.

[0073] This application also includes a support device 4 having a support plane 41 for supporting the workpiece 9. The molding device 3 is capable of molding and bending the workpiece 9 located on the support plane 41.

[0074] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the support device 4 is shown. For ease of description, the length direction of the second frame 21 is referred to as the transverse direction, and the width direction of the second frame 21 is referred to as the longitudinal direction.

[0075] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The supporting plane 41 can be raised and lowered relative to the second frame 21.

[0076] Specifically, the support device 4 includes a support block 42, the top surface of which forms at least a portion of the support plane 41, capable of supporting the workpiece 9. Furthermore, the support device 4 in this embodiment also includes a lifting drive component 43, which is mounted on the second frame 21 and configured to drive the support block 42 to move vertically relative to the second frame 21. In this embodiment, the lifting drive component 43 is a lifting cylinder; in other embodiments, the lifting drive component 43 may also be a motor lead screw or other driving element.

[0077] The workpiece 9 placed on the support device 4 can rise and fall relative to the second frame 21 as the support plane 41 rises and falls, so that the workpiece 9 can always be inserted between the mold 31 and the top pressure piece of the molding device 3, and the workpiece 9 can be more closely aligned with the position of the mold 31 to achieve molding bending, thereby improving the molding accuracy of the workpiece 9.

[0078] Furthermore, the support device 4 includes at least two support blocks 42 spaced apart along the longitudinal direction. The top surfaces of all support blocks 42 are located on the same horizontal plane and form a support plane 41. At least two support blocks 42 can be spaced apart along the longitudinal direction to support the bottom of the workpiece 9, increasing the contact area between the top surface of the support blocks 42 and the workpiece 9, thereby improving the stability of the support for the workpiece 9. At the same time, the longitudinal spacing between the two support blocks 42 can reduce interference with other devices and facilitate the installation and use of devices such as the positioning device 5.

[0079] In practice, there can be one support block 42. In the case of one support block 42, the support block 42 has a certain size in both the horizontal and vertical directions, which increases the contact area between the top surface of the support block 42 and the workpiece 9, and ensures the stability of the support for the workpiece 9. In this embodiment, two support blocks 42 are spaced apart along the longitudinal direction. In some other embodiments, three or more support blocks 42 can be spaced apart along the longitudinal direction to increase the contact area between the support device 4 and the workpiece 9.

[0080] In this embodiment, the support block 42 extends laterally, increasing the contact area between the support block 42 and the workpiece 9, thereby improving the support stability of the workpiece 9.

[0081] In fact, a support device 4 can also be provided on the first frame 11. The two support devices 4 are respectively located on the lateral sides of the molding device 3, which can provide more stable support for the workpiece 9.

[0082] This application also includes a positioning device 5, which is provided corresponding to the support device 4 and is used to position the workpiece 9 on the support plane 41 in the longitudinal and transverse directions.

[0083] Furthermore, the positioning device 5 includes a lateral positioning component 51 and a longitudinal positioning component 52.

[0084] Figure 4 A partial structural schematic diagram of the lateral positioning component 51 is shown. Figure 5 A horizontal view of the lateral positioning component 51 is shown.

[0085] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lateral positioning component 51 includes at least one first pusher 511 and at least one second pusher 512.

[0086] The first pusher 511 is disposed on the first frame 11 and can move laterally relative to the first frame 11. The second pusher 512 is disposed on the second frame 21 and can move laterally relative to the second frame 21, so that the first pusher 511 and the second pusher 512 can respectively push the workpiece 9 located on the support plane 41 to the lateral opposite sides, thereby moving the workpiece 9 to the lateral preset position.

[0087] Specifically, the first pusher 511 is mounted on the feeding device 1, and the second pusher 512 is mounted on the transfer conveying device 2, so that the first pusher 511 and the second pusher 512 are respectively located on the lateral sides of the molding device 3 and corresponding to the opposite lateral sides of the support plane 41. By setting the preset lateral position to which the workpiece 9 needs to move, and then according to the lateral movement of the first pusher 511 relative to the first frame 11 and the lateral movement of the second pusher 512 relative to the second frame 21, the workpiece 9 is pushed to move laterally on the support plane 41. In fact, the first pusher 511 and the second pusher 512 can also limit the offset of the workpiece 9 and prevent the workpiece 9 from moving excessively. Under the pushing and limiting action of the first pusher 511 and the second pusher 512, the workpiece 9 is pushed until it accurately enters the preset lateral position, so that the bending position of the workpiece 9 can be aligned with the mold 31 of the molding device 3, thereby improving the processing accuracy.

[0088] The lateral positioning component 51 includes two second pushers 512, which are arranged longitudinally at intervals. The side of the workpiece 9 closest to the transfer conveyor 2 can be pushed synchronously by the two longitudinally spaced second pushers 512, thereby achieving multi-point positioning of one side of the workpiece 9, improving the stability of the pushing process of the workpiece 9, and reducing the possibility of workpiece 9 shifting or flipping.

[0089] In other embodiments, the lateral positioning component 51 may also include only one second pusher 512, which extends longitudinally to increase the contact area between the second pusher 512 and one lateral side of the workpiece 9, thereby improving the stability of pushing the workpiece 9. Furthermore, the lateral positioning component 51 may also include three or more second pushers 512 to further improve the stability of adjusting the position of the workpiece 9.

[0090] The second pusher 512 is slidably connected to the second frame 21 in a transverse direction. This improves the stability of the second pusher 512 in its transverse movement relative to the second frame 21. Specifically, the second pusher 512 has a block structure, and the second frame 21 is provided with a transversely extending slide rail 514. The second pusher 512 is connected to the slide rail 514 and can slide laterally along the slide rail 514.

[0091] Furthermore, the lateral positioning component 51 also includes a first driving component 513, which is disposed on the second frame 21 and driven to two second pusher components 512.

[0092] The first driving component 513 includes a motor 5131, a driving wheel 5132, a timing belt, two transverse lead screws 5133, and driven wheels 5134. The transverse lead screws 5133 are mounted on the frame and extend laterally. The second pusher component 512 is connected to each transverse lead screw 5133 in a one-to-one manner. The driving wheel 5132 is synchronously mounted on the rotational drive end of the motor 5131, and the driven wheel 5134 is synchronously mounted on one axial end of the transverse lead screw 5133. A timing belt connects the driving wheel 5132 and the two driven wheels 5134. Specifically, the two transverse lead screws 5133 are spaced longitudinally and are connected to the second pusher component 512 in a one-to-one manner via lead screw nuts. The driving wheel 5132 and the driven wheel 5134 are connected by a timing belt. The motor 5131 drives the driving wheel 5132 to rotate, thereby causing the two driven wheels 5134 to rotate synchronously, achieving synchronous rotation of the two transverse lead screws 5133, which in turn drives the two second pusher components 512 to move synchronously laterally.

[0093] Because the workpiece 9 is relatively wide, in order to achieve precise control and simplify the mechanical device, the motor 5131 in this embodiment is a servo motor 5131, and the transverse lead screw 5133 is a ball screw. By combining the transmission method of the servo motor 5131, the ball screw and the synchronous belt, two or more sets of the same ball screw transmission system are used to simultaneously drive two or more identical components or devices, so that the multiple second pusher parts 512 have a better synchronization effect, which facilitates the control of the two second pusher parts 512, and the operation is precise, stable and smooth.

[0094] In this embodiment, the second pusher 512 is slidably connected to two longitudinally spaced slide rails 514. The two slide rails 514 are respectively located on both sides of a transverse lead screw 5133 in the longitudinal direction, which improves the transmission stability and smooth movement of the second pusher 512.

[0095] In some other embodiments, the first driving member 513 can also drive the second pushing member 512 one-to-one. Furthermore, the first driving member 513 can also use a driving element such as a cylinder to drive the second pushing member 512 to move laterally.

[0096] Combination Figure 1 The lateral positioning component 51 includes two first pusher members 511, which are arranged longitudinally at intervals to achieve multi-point positioning of the other side of the workpiece 9, improve the stability of the pushing process of the workpiece 9, and reduce the possibility of workpiece 9 shifting or flipping. The first pusher members 511 are slidably connected to the first frame 11 laterally. The lateral positioning component 51 also includes a drive member, which is disposed on the first frame 11 and drivenly connected to the two first pusher members 511. The driving connection method between the drive member and the first pusher members 511 can be referred to the driving connection method between the first drive member 513 and the second pusher member 512, and will not be described again in this embodiment.

[0097] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the longitudinal positioning component 52 is shown.

[0098] The longitudinal positioning component 52 is provided corresponding to the support device 4. Specifically, the longitudinal positioning component 52 includes two third pushers 521 spaced apart longitudinally. The third pushers 521 can move longitudinally relative to the support plane 41, so that the two second pushers 512 respectively push the longitudinally opposite sides of the workpiece 9 located on the support plane 41, thereby moving the workpiece 9 to a preset longitudinal position. By setting the preset longitudinal position to which the workpiece 9 needs to move, and then according to the simultaneous longitudinal movement of the two third pushers 521 relative to the workpiece 9, the two third pushers 521 can abut against the longitudinally opposite sides of the workpiece 9, thereby pushing the workpiece 9 to move longitudinally on the support plane 41, so that the workpiece 9 can be accurately moved to the preset longitudinal position and positioned.

[0099] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the process of the third pusher 521 pushing the workpiece 9, the third pusher 521 is slidably connected to the molding device 3 along the longitudinal direction. Specifically, the third pusher 521 can be mounted on the molding device 3 through a structure such as a slide rail 514 slider, and the slide rail 514 extends longitudinally.

[0100] The longitudinal positioning component 52 also includes a second driving member 522, which is disposed on the molding device 3 and configured to drive the third pusher 521 to move longitudinally relative to the molding device 3.

[0101] In this example, the second driving component 522 is a cylinder, which drives the third pusher component 521 to move longitudinally relative to the mold 31. Alternatively, the second driving component 522 can also be a motor screw to drive the third pusher component 521 to move longitudinally.

[0102] In other embodiments, the positioning device 5 can also adjust the position of the workpiece 9 located on the support plane 41 by rotating the support device 4 along the longitudinal, transverse, and / or planar directions. Alternatively, the positioning device 5 can also use an openable or retractable gripper structure to clamp the workpiece 9 on both the longitudinal and transverse sides, thereby adjusting the position of the workpiece 9 on the support plane 41 and achieving longitudinal and transverse positioning of the workpiece 9.

[0103] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure between the first anti-fall device 6 and the mold 31. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure between the second anti-fall device 7 and the mold 31.

[0104] Reference Figure 7The corner column forming equipment also includes a first anti-fall device 6. The first anti-fall device 6 includes a first support rod 61 and a third drive member 62. The first support rod 61 is located below or flush with the support plane 41. The first support rod 61 includes a first rotating end 611 and a first free end 612 along the axial direction. The first rotating end 611 is rotatably connected to the second frame 21, and the first free end 612 is located on the side of the first rotating end 611 away from the molding device 3. The third drive member 62 is disposed on the second frame 21 and configured to drive the first support rod 61 to rotate, so that the first free end 612 can be raised and lowered to lift or lower the workpiece 9.

[0105] When workpiece 9 is bent, one side of workpiece 9 will tilt up. At this time, the third driving member 62 drives the first support rod 61 to rotate, so that the first free end 612 of the first support rod 61 rises around the first rotating end 611 and is higher than the support plane 41, so that the first support rod 61 can support the bottom surface of workpiece 9. Then the third driving member 62 drives the first support rod 61 to rotate and descend, and the first support rod 61 can descend to a position flush with or below the support plane 41, so that workpiece 9 can be gradually placed on the support plane 41, avoiding workpiece 9 from falling directly onto the support plane 41 after bending, reducing damage to workpiece 9 and reducing noise.

[0106] Furthermore, the third driving component 62 includes a transverse cylinder 621, a slide block 622, and a swing arm 623. The transverse cylinder 621 is mounted on the second frame 21, and its telescopic drive end is connected to the slide block 622. The slide block 622 is slidably connected to the second frame 21 in a transverse direction. One end of the swing arm 623 is rotatably connected to the slide block 622, and the other end of the swing arm 623 is rotatably connected to the first support rod 61, and is offset from the first rotating end 611 along the axial direction of the first support rod 61. The transverse cylinder 621 is configured to drive the slide block 622 to move laterally via its telescopic drive end, thereby driving the swing arm 623 to push the first free end 612 up or pull it down.

[0107] Specifically, the slide block 622 is slidably connected to the second frame 21 in a transverse direction, improving the stability of the movement of the swing arm 623 driven by the transverse cylinder 621. The swing arm 623 is supported on the first support rod 61. When the transverse cylinder 621 pushes the slide block 622 to move laterally towards the molding device 3, it can drive the swing arm 623 to push the first free end 612 up above the support plane 41. Alternatively, when the transverse cylinder 621 pushes the slide block 622 to move laterally away from the molding device 3, the swing arm 623 can pull the first free end 612 down to a position below the support plane 41. The swing arm 623 can buffer and support the first support rod 61, improving the rotational stability of the first support rod 61 and reducing damage to the driving components.

[0108] In some other embodiments, the third drive member 62 may also be a rotary motor 5131, which directly drives the first material support rod 61 to rotate.

[0109] Furthermore, the axial end of the rocker arm 623 rotatably connected to the slide block 622 is lower than the first rotating end 611, and the other axial end of the rocker arm 623 is bent toward the first support rod 61, so that the first support rod 61 is lowered to extend horizontally, and the rocker arm 623 is located below the first support rod 61.

[0110] The end of the swing arm 623 connected to the first support rod 61 is bent towards the first support rod 61. This allows the swing arm 623 to push the slide block 622 upwards and move the swing arm 623 closer to the molding device 3 when the transverse cylinder 621 pushes the slide block 622. This reduces the transmission dead point between the swing arm 623 and the first support rod 61, ensuring that the swing arm 623 can push the first support rod 61 upwards, thereby enabling the first free end 612 of the first support rod 61 to rotate and rise. Furthermore, due to the structure of the swing arm 623, as the transverse cylinder 621 moves the slide block 622 away from the molding device 3, the swing arm 623 and the first support rod 61 gradually flatten out, allowing both the first support rod 61 and the swing arm 623 to be horizontally stacked and stored below the support plane 41.

[0111] Furthermore, the second frame 21 is provided with a first support 63, and the first rotating end 611 is provided with a first rotating shaft 64 extending longitudinally, the first rotating shaft 64 being rotatably connected to the first support 63. The first support 63 is provided with a first limiting block 65, the first limiting block 65 being located below the first rotating shaft 64, and the first limiting block 65 and the first rotating shaft 64 being spaced laterally. The first limiting block 65 can abut against the bottom of the first support rod 61 when the first support rod 61 is lowered to the lateral position. When the first support rod 61 rotates and causes the first free end 612 to descend, the first limiting block 65 can abut against the bottom of the first support rod 61 to prevent the first support rod 61 from moving too far downward, facilitating the next upward movement of the first support rod 61 to lift the workpiece 9. In practice, the first limiting block 65 can be a bolt, metal block, or other parts.

[0112] Furthermore, a second limiting block 66 is provided on the second frame 21, and the second limiting block 66 and the slide 622 are arranged sequentially in a direction moving laterally away from the molding device 3. When the slide 622 moves towards the second limiting block 66, the second limiting block 66 can abut against the slide 622. When the slide 622 moves towards the molding device 3, the swing rod 623 and the first support rod 61 rotate upwards. The second limiting block 66 limits the distance the slide 622 moves forward towards the molding device 3, allowing the first support rod 61 to better fit the raised position of the bent workpiece 9, preventing the first support rod 61 from rotating too much and lifting the workpiece 9.

[0113] Furthermore, a second support 67 is provided on the second frame 21, and a second limiting block 66 is slidably connected to the second support 67 and extends laterally. One axial end of the second limiting block 66 is directly opposite the slide block 622 laterally. Specifically, the second limiting block 66 in this application can be a screw extending laterally, with the screw threadedly connected to the second support 67. When producing different workpieces 9, the rotation amplitude of the swing arm 623 supporting the first material support rod 61 can be adjusted by adjusting the lateral position of the second limiting block 66, which is convenient for actual production.

[0114] Reference Figure 8 The corner column forming equipment also includes a second anti-fall device 7. The second anti-fall device 7 includes a second support rod 71 and a fourth driving member 72. The second support rod 71 includes a second rotating end 711 and a second free end 712 along the axial direction. The second rotating end 711 is rotatably connected to the feeding device 1, and the second free end 712 is located on the side of the second rotating end 711 away from the molding device 3. The fourth driving member 72 is disposed on the feeding device 1 and configured to drive the second support rod 71 to rotate, so that the second free end 712 can rise and fall to support or lower the workpiece 9. After the workpiece 9 is bent, when the other side of the workpiece 9 tilts up, the second support rod 71 of the second anti-fall device 7 can rotate and rise to support the bottom of the tilted position of the workpiece 9. Then, the fourth driving member 72 drives the second support rod 71 to rotate and fall, which can stably place the workpiece 9 on the support plane 41, preventing the workpiece 9 from falling directly onto the support device 4 and reducing noise.

[0115] Specifically, the first anti-fall device 6 is installed on the transfer conveyor 2, and the second anti-fall device 7 is installed on the feeding device 1. The first anti-fall device 6 and the second anti-fall device 7 are respectively located on the lateral sides of the molding device 3. After the workpiece 9 is bent, the first anti-fall device 6 and the second anti-fall device 7 can prevent the workpiece 9 from falling directly on the lateral sides, further preventing the workpiece 9 from falling directly onto the support device 4 and reducing noise. In this embodiment, the second support rod 71 is rotatably connected to the first frame 11 via a rotating shaft, and the fourth driving member 72 is installed on the first frame 11.

[0116] In this embodiment, the fourth driving component 72 can drive the rotation of the second material support rod 71 through a driving element such as a cylinder or a motor 5131. In fact, the specific structure and connection principle of the fourth driving component 72 can be referred to the description of the third driving component 62 described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0117] Figure 9 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) are step-by-step state diagrams of the molding bending of the thin plate workpiece 9 into a corner column in one embodiment.

[0118] Combination Figure 9 The specific working process of the corner post forming equipment in this embodiment is as follows:

[0119] In state (a), the sheet metal workpiece 9 is placed from the feeding device 1 into the support plane 41 on the support device 4 via the first conveying structure. Then, the positioning device 5 positions the workpiece 9 longitudinally and laterally. At this point, the workpiece 9 is located between the mold 31 and the top pressure member of the molding device 3. After the molding device 3 performs the first bend on the workpiece 9, the workpiece 9 enters state (b). Next, the lateral positioning component 51 of the positioning device 5 adjusts the lateral position of the workpiece 9, so that the two lateral sides of the workpiece 9 form state (c) under the further bend of the molding device 3. The workpiece 9 formed after steps (a), (b), and (c) is the workpiece after the first bend. Next, the transfer device clamps the workpiece 9 off the molding device 3, flips it, and places it on the second conveying structure 22. At this point, the workpiece 9 is in state (d). Next, the second conveying structure 22 transports the workpiece 9 back to the supporting plane 41. After the positioning device 5 adjusts and positions the workpiece 9 in the lateral and longitudinal directions, the molding device 3 bends the workpiece 9 again, causing the workpiece 9 to sequentially change from state (d) to state (e), state (f), and state (g). During the transition from state (e) to state (f) and (g), the positioning device 5 can adjust the lateral direction of the workpiece 9 to ensure that the workpiece 9 can be bent into place by the molding device 3, thereby improving product accuracy. Steps (e), (f), and (g) constitute the re-bending of the repositioned workpiece.
