[0002] A filter is a device used to filter liquids or gases, removing impurities, dirt, moisture, etc., to protect related equipment or systems so that they can operate normally. The cylindrical filter housing is the most common type, and it is widely used in oil filters, fuel filters, and air filters in automobiles, engines, and other equipment. Filters can effectively prevent contaminants from entering the interior of related equipment, extending the service life of the equipment and improving its working efficiency.
[0003] In the common manufacturing process of automotive filter housings, the raw material iron sheet needs to be bent into a cylindrical shape before subsequent assembly. In practical use, after the iron sheet is formed, additional equipment is required to remove the cylindrical iron sheet, resulting in poor continuity in the housing manufacturing process and low processing efficiency. To address this, we provide an automatic continuous forming machine for automotive filter housings to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic continuous forming machine for automotive filter housings. Through the specific structural design of the pressing and shaping component, the forming adjustment component, and the forming support component, the problem of separation between the forming and unloading steps, resulting in poor processing efficiency is solved.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model is an automatic continuous forming machine for automotive filter housings, including a pressing and shaping assembly that can move up and down. The pressing and shaping assembly includes a pressing support plate, and a discharge drive platform is rotatably connected below the pressing support plate. One side of the discharge drive platform has an inclined sliding surface structure, and a pressing forming seat is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressing support plate. The lower surface of the pressing forming seat has an arc-shaped sliding surface structure. A forming support assembly is fixedly arranged below the pressing support plate, and the forming support assembly includes two forming support plates that are symmetrically rotated. A forming adjustment assembly is fixedly arranged below the pressing support plate, and the forming adjustment assembly includes a fixedly arranged forming support column. The forming support column is located between the two forming support plates, and a discharge push tube is slidably arranged on the periphery of the forming support column. A discharge transmission frame is fixedly connected to one side of the discharge push tube, and discharge transmission columns are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the discharge transmission frame. The discharge transmission columns are adapted to the discharge drive platform.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that a support frame is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressing support plate via an extension column, the unloading drive platform is rotatably connected to the support frame, and an arc-shaped spring is fixedly connected between the unloading drive platform and the support frame; a support crossbar is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame, the support crossbar is in close contact with the lower surface of the unloading drive platform, and a pressing transmission block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressing support plate.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the molding support assembly includes a fixedly disposed molding support base, the surface of the molding support base is provided with a molding opening, the molding opening is provided with adjustment grooves on the opposite side walls of the molding opening, the molding support plate is rotatably disposed between the opposite two inner side walls of the corresponding adjustment groove, a support return spring is fixedly connected between the molding support plate and one inner side wall of the molding opening, and a molding opening is provided at the inner bottom of the molding opening.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the molding adjustment assembly includes a fixedly disposed adjustment support seat and a hollow adjustment seat. The hollow adjustment seat is located directly below the pressing transmission block, and extension blocks are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the hollow adjustment seat. Sliding guide columns are symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adjustment support seat. The sliding guide columns slide in cooperation with the corresponding extension blocks, and lifting springs are fixedly connected between the extension blocks and the adjustment support seat. The lifting springs are sleeved outside the corresponding sliding guide columns. An unloading spring is fixedly connected between an inner sidewall of the hollow adjustment seat and the unloading transmission frame. The unloading springs are sleeved outside the unloading push tube, and the unloading transmission frame slides through the hollow adjustment seat.
[0009] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention sets up a pressing and shaping component, a forming adjustment component and a forming support component. The pressing support plate moves down and drives the pressing forming seat to move synchronously. The pressing forming seat squeezes the iron sheet, causing the iron sheet to bend around the forming support column on the circumferential side. As the pressing support plate continues to move down, it drives the bent iron sheet to continue to move downward. When the iron sheet contacts the molding opening, with the cooperation of the molding opening and the forming support column, the iron sheet is completely wrapped around the circumferential side of the forming support column, thereby realizing the automatic forming of the iron sheet for manufacturing the filter shell. The forming process is continuous.
[0010] 2. This utility model, by setting up a pressing and shaping component and a forming adjustment component, allows the pressing support plate to move upward after the iron sheet used for manufacturing the filter housing is formed. This causes the unloading drive platform to move upward synchronously. Under the sliding cooperation between the unloading drive platform and the unloading transmission column, the unloading transmission column slides along the inclined sliding surface of the unloading drive platform. As the unloading transmission column moves, it drives the unloading push tube to slide radially along the forming support column under the connecting action of the unloading transmission frame, thus pushing the cylindrical iron sheet ring to move synchronously. This achieves automatic unloading of the formed cylindrical iron sheet ring, facilitating continuous forming and improving processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1
[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model is an automatic continuous forming machine for automotive filter housings, including a pressing and shaping assembly 1 that can move up and down. Specifically, the pressing and shaping assembly 1 includes a pressing support plate 101, which is connected to an external support frame. An electric telescopic rod is installed on the external support frame, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the pressing support plate 101. The pressing support plate 101 is moved up and down by the electric telescopic rod. A discharge drive table 102 is rotatably connected below the pressing support plate 101. One side of the discharge drive table 102 is an inclined sliding surface structure, and a pressing forming seat 103 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressing support plate 101. The lower surface of the pressing forming seat 103 is an arc-shaped sliding surface structure, and the arc-shaped sliding surface of the pressing forming seat 103 is used for pressure forming.
[0022] Furthermore, a forming support assembly 2 is fixedly installed below the pressure support plate 101. The forming support assembly 2 includes two forming support plates 201 that are symmetrically rotated. A forming adjustment assembly 3 is fixedly installed below the pressure support plate 101. The forming adjustment assembly 3 includes a fixedly installed forming support column 301. The pressure forming seat 103 is located directly above the forming support column 301. The forming support column 301 is located between the two forming support plates 201. In the initial state, the forming support column 301 is flush with the forming support plate 201. The iron used for processing the filter housing... The leather is placed between two forming support plates 201 and is in contact with the periphery of the forming support column 301. A discharge push tube 302 is slidably arranged on the periphery of the forming support column 301. A discharge transmission frame is fixedly connected to one side of the discharge push tube 302. Discharge transmission columns 303 are fixedly connected to the two opposite sides of the discharge transmission frame. A through opening is opened on the surface of the discharge drive table 102. The discharge transmission frame is aligned with the through opening. The inclined sliding surface of the discharge drive table 102 is opposite to the discharge transmission column 303. The discharge transmission column 303 and the discharge drive table 102 are adapted to each other.
[0023] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: The sheet metal for processing the filter housing is placed between two forming support plates 201, with the sheet metal for the filter housing in contact with the peripheral side of the forming support column 301. An external electric telescopic rod controls the downward movement of the pressing support plate 101, and the pressing forming seat 103 moves downward synchronously with the pressing support plate 101 until the lower end of the pressing forming seat 103 contacts the sheet metal. As the pressing forming seat 103 continues to move downward, it causes the sheet metal to bend partially around the forming support column 301. The unloading drive table 102 contacts the unloading transmission column 303, and the pressing support plate 101... 01 The downward moving unloading drive platform 102 rotates due to the obstruction of the unloading transmission column 303. At the same time, the forming support plate 201 rotates. As the downward support plate 101 continues to move downward, it drives the forming support column 301 and the bent iron sheet to move downward until the iron sheet contacts the bottom of the forming support assembly 2, completing the further bending of the iron sheet. This makes the iron sheet tightly adhere to the circumferential side of the forming support column 301, completing the bending of the surface (the bent iron sheet is cylindrical and sleeved on the outside of the forming support column 301). Meanwhile, the unloading drive platform 102 is located below the unloading transmission column 303.
[0024] Then, the pressing support plate 101 is moved upward, and the forming support column 301 moves upward synchronously, thereby driving the formed cylindrical iron sheet ring to move upward synchronously until the forming support column 301 returns to the initial state and the two forming support plates 201 are in a horizontal state. As the pressing support plate 101 continues to move, the unloading drive platform 102 moves upward. Under the sliding cooperation between the unloading drive platform 102 and the unloading transmission column 303, the unloading drive platform 102 slides relative to each other along the inclined surface of the unloading drive platform 102, thereby driving the unloading push tube 302 to move radially along the circumferential side of the forming support column 301, pushing the cylindrical iron sheet ring on the circumferential side of the forming support column 301 to move synchronously until it detaches from the forming support column 301. Specific Implementation Example 2
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 Based on the specific embodiment one, specifically, the lower surface of the pressure support plate 101 is fixedly connected to the support frame 104 through the extension column, the unloading drive platform 102 is rotatably connected to the support frame 104, and an arc spring 105 is fixedly connected between the unloading drive platform 102 and the support frame 104; a support cross column 106 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 104, the support cross column 106 is in close contact with the lower surface of the unloading drive platform 102, and a pressure transmission block 107 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressure support plate 101.
[0027] Furthermore, the forming support assembly 2 also includes a fixedly installed forming support seat 202. The surface of the forming support seat 202 is provided with a forming opening. Adjustment grooves 203 are provided on the opposite side walls of the forming opening. The forming support plate 201 is rotatably disposed between the opposite inner side walls of the corresponding adjustment grooves 203. A support return spring 204 is fixedly connected between the forming support plate 201 and one inner side wall of the forming opening. A molding opening 205 is provided at the inner bottom of the forming opening. The molding opening 205, the lower surface of the pressing forming seat 103 is an arc-shaped sliding surface structure, and the forming support column 301 are coaxially arranged when bending the iron sheet. The molding opening 205 is opposite to the forming support column 301. When molding, the two ends of the iron sheet can contact and squeeze the molding opening 205 to perform further bending.
[0028] Furthermore, the molding adjustment assembly 3 also includes a fixedly installed adjustment support 304 and a hollow adjustment seat 305. The hollow adjustment seat 305 is located directly below the pressing transmission block 107, and extension blocks are fixedly connected to the opposite two sides of the hollow adjustment seat 305. Sliding guide columns 306 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper surface of the adjustment support 304. The sliding guide columns 306 and the corresponding extension blocks are slidably engaged. A lifting spring 307 is fixedly connected between the extension blocks and the adjustment support 304. The lifting spring 307 is sleeved on the outside of the corresponding sliding guide column 306. An unloading spring 308 is fixedly connected between an inner side wall of the hollow adjustment seat 305 and the unloading transmission frame. The unloading spring 308 is sleeved on the outside of the unloading push tube 302. The unloading transmission frame slides through the hollow adjustment seat 305, and the unloading push tube 302 slides through the side of the hollow adjustment seat 305 away from the unloading transmission frame.
[0029] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: The sheet metal for processing the filter housing is placed between the two forming support plates 201, and the sheet metal for processing the filter housing is in contact with the circumferential side of the forming support column 301. The external electric telescopic rod controls the downward movement of the pressure support plate 101, and the pressure forming seat 103 moves downward synchronously with the pressure support plate 101. When the lower end of the pressure forming seat 103 contacts the sheet metal, under the cooperation of the pressure forming seat 103 and the forming support column 301, the lower end of the pressure forming seat 103 squeezes the sheet metal, causing the sheet metal to wrap around the forming support column 301. The iron sheet is bent from the side, with both ends pointing vertically downwards. Simultaneously, this causes the two forming support plates 201 to rotate, compressing the support return spring 204. When the pressing transmission block 107 contacts the upper surface of the hollow adjusting seat 305, as the pressing support plate 101 continues to move downwards, the pressing transmission block 107 pushes the hollow adjusting seat 305 downwards. The hollow adjusting seat 305 slides downwards along the circumferential side of the sliding guide column 306, compressing the lifting spring 307. The forming support column 301 then moves part of the bent iron sheet synchronously with the hollow adjusting seat 305. The material moves downwards; during this process, under the constraint of the pressing forming seat 103, both forming support plates 201 are in an inclined state, the support return spring 204 is in a compressed state, and the unloading drive platform 102 moves downwards synchronously with the pressing support plate 101. When the unloading drive platform 102 contacts the unloading transmission column 303, under the support of the lifting spring 307, the hollow adjusting seat 305 cannot move downwards, thus causing the unloading drive platform 102 to rotate due to the obstruction of the unloading transmission column 303. The arc spring 105 is compressed, and with the pressing support... The movement of plate 101 drives unloading drive platform 102 to move continuously downward until unloading drive platform 102 pushes away from unloading transmission column 303, and returns to the initial state under the elastic recovery action of arc spring 105. Unloading drive platform 102 is in close contact with support column 106 and located below unloading transmission column 303. When the two ends of the partially bent iron sheet come into contact with the inner wall of molding opening 205, the compression of the inner wall of molding opening 205 causes the partially bent iron sheet to bend further. The iron sheet is in close contact with the circumferential side of molding support column 301, realizing the bending of the cylindrical iron sheet ring.
[0030] When the bending contact occurs, the control pressure support plate 101 moves upward, and the pressure transmission block 107 moves upward synchronously with the pressure support plate 101. Under the elastic recovery action of the lifting spring 307, the hollow adjusting seat 305 moves upward, which in turn causes the forming support column 301 to drive the cylindrical iron ring to move upward synchronously with the hollow adjusting seat 305 until the hollow adjusting seat 305 returns to its initial state. Under the elastic recovery action of the support reset spring 204, the two forming support plates 201 return to the horizontal state. As the pressure support plate 101 continues to move upward, the pressure transmission block 107 gradually moves upward to the hollow adjusting seat 305. During the movement of the pressure support plate 101, the unloading drive table 102 moves upward synchronously. When the hollow adjusting seat 305 returns to its initial state, the unloading drive table 102 moves upward synchronously. The inclined surface of the moving platform 102 is in contact with the unloading transmission column 303. As the unloading driving platform 102 continues to move upward, under the sliding cooperation between the inclined sliding surface of the unloading driving platform 102 and the unloading transmission column 303, the unloading transmission column 303 slides along the inclined sliding surface of the unloading driving platform 102, causing the unloading transmission column 303 to move towards the hollow adjusting seat 305. Under the connection of the unloading transmission frame, the unloading push tube 302 is driven to move synchronously towards the molding support component 2. The unloading spring 308 is compressed, and the unloading push tube 302 slides axially along the circumferential side of the molding support column 301, thereby pushing the cylindrical iron ring on the circumferential side of the molding support column 301 to move until the cylindrical iron ring disengages from the molding support column 301 to complete the unloading operation after molding.
