Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bending technology for metal parts of switches, and in particular to a positioning and bending device for a metal spring sheet of an electronic switch. Background Technology
[0002] The switch spring is a crucial component of a switch, primarily providing the spring force for the switch. Existing switch metal springs are shaped during bending, but this sizing prevents the bending of the next spring, reducing bending efficiency. An existing application (CN202110386414.2) describes a positioning and bending device for electronic switch metal springs, including a first and second rotating shaft with parallel axes rotatably mounted on a base plate… The bending unit can bend the metal spring to be bent, and the sizing component ensures consistent production of the metal springs. However, this device's mounting base is installed on a flexible conveyor belt, which cannot limit the mounting base to prevent lateral swaying when the bending head presses down, causing the support block and the metal spring on it to shift, resulting in unstable bending.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 In order to adsorb the metal spring after bending and keep it in the bent state, stabilize the bending effect and prevent it from falling off, the shaping device includes suction cups 12 and suction cup holes. Two suction cups 12 are fixed on the right end face of the mounting base 10 by an inclined plate.

The top of a pair of support blocks 20 is provided with suction cup holes that cooperate with the two suction cups 12 respectively.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-5 In order to allow the piston rod 26 to be pushed inward by the C-shaped plate 13 when the mounting base 10 is rotated downward, and to inject air into the suction cup 12 from the air injection tube, so that it loses its adsorption and fixation on the metal spring and automatically falls into the collection box 14, the air injection opening device includes an air injection tube, a spring 25, and a piston rod 26. The air inlet of the suction cup 12 is connected to the air injection tube, and the piston rod 26 with its outer end extending through and outside the air injection tube is slidably arranged inside the air injection tube.

The C-shaped plate 13 is provided below the right end of the conveyor belt 2 for squeezing the inner piston rod 26.
[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 In order to press the metal spring sheet onto the support block 20 during bending and maintain bending stability, the clamping structure includes a fixed rod 5, a pressure rod 16, a protruding button 18, and a spring 19. The horizontal plate at the bottom of the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder 4 has two symmetrically arranged insertion holes on the front and rear sides of the bending head 6, and the fixed rod 5 is fixed in the insertion hole. The bottom of the fixed rod 5 has an insertion hole with a limit groove on the hole wall, and the pressure rod 16 is inserted into the insertion hole. The protruding button 18 and the spring 19 located in the limit groove are fixed on the sides and top of the pressure rod 16, respectively. The upper end of the spring 19 abuts against the upper wall of the insertion hole.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-5In order to enable the inner ends of the two support blocks 20 to bend downwards and automatically return to their original position after bending, the guide reset assembly includes a slide groove 22, a slider 23, and a guide rod 24. The side of the mounting base 10 has a slide groove 22 located in the middle and two symmetrically arranged on both sides with their upper ends aligned.

[0027] Working principle: The metal spring is placed between two baffles 17 on the support block 20 by the upper unit, and the mounting seat 10 is moved to the bending head 6 by the conveyor belt 2. The bending head 6, clamping plate 7, mounting plate 8, cylinder 9, fixing rod 5, and pressure rod 16 are lowered by the hydraulic cylinder 4, so that the clamping plate 7 clamps the two sides of the mounting seat 10 to prevent it from swaying left and right. The pressure rod 16 presses down on the metal spring to prevent it from sliding. The bending head 6 presses down in conjunction with the support block 20 to bend the metal spring and press it onto the suction cup 12, where it is attracted and fixed. After processing, the hydraulic cylinder 4 moves the bending head 6 and the others upward. The mounting seat 10 is moved to the right and rotated downward by the conveyor belt 2. The C-shaped plate 13 presses the two piston rods 26 inward to make them retract and squeeze air into the suction cup 12, so that the suction cup loses the negative pressure that attracts the metal spring. The metal spring automatically falls into the collection box 14.
[0028] This positioning and bending device can not only position and bend the metal spring sheet, but also keep the bent metal spring sheet in an adsorption and shape-fixed state, resulting in a better bending effect. In addition, it can limit the mounting base 10 through the clamping plate 7 to prevent it from swaying left and right on the flexible conveyor belt 2, effectively maintaining the bending stability and further improving the bending effect.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
