[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spring production and processing technology, and in particular to a folding device for spring production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of spring manufacturing, folding is an essential step in producing springs of specific shapes and sizes. Traditional spring folding often relies on manual labor or simple mechanical devices. Manual folding is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to guarantee processing accuracy, and is easily affected by factors such as the operator's skill level and fatigue. Furthermore, manual operation also presents problems such as high labor intensity and poor working conditions, posing a threat to the physical and mental health of the operators.

[0003] While simple mechanical folding devices can improve production efficiency to some extent, their simple design and low control precision often make them unsuitable for processing high-precision springs. Furthermore, these simple devices often lack flexibility and versatility, making them difficult to adapt to the processing needs of springs of different sizes and shapes. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the threads on the two screws are arranged in opposite directions.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting plate is an L-shaped plate, and two symmetrical hollow reinforcing plates are fixedly installed on the limiting plate.

Therefore, the illustrations only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed by a folding device used for spring production and processing, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0024] Some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described for illustrative purposes. It should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in other ways not specifically shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 A folding device for spring production and processing includes a workbench 1, two legs 2 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the lower end of the workbench 1, a first electric push rod 7 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the workbench 1, a slide plate 8 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 7, the slide plate 8 is slidably connected to the workbench 1, and two folding plates 9 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the slide plate 8.

[0026] A positioning plate 10 for spring positioning is fixedly installed on the upper end of the worktable 1. A limiting mechanism for limiting the position of the spring is provided on the worktable 1. The limiting mechanism includes two slide grooves 4 opened on the upper end of the worktable 1. Each of the two slide grooves 4 is provided with a screw 6. The threads on the two screws 6 are arranged in opposite directions. The two screws 6 are coaxially fixed together by a rotating shaft. Nuts 16 are threadedly connected to the two screws 6. A limiting plate 5 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the nut 16. The limiting plate 5 is an L-shaped plate with a polyurethane buffer pad 20 pasted on the inner side to avoid mechanical damage to the spring surface when clamped. Two symmetrical hollow reinforcing plates are fixedly installed on the limiting plate 5. The limiting plate 5 is slidably connected to the worktable 1. A drive motor 3 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the worktable 1. The drive motor 3 is coaxially fixed with the screws 6.

[0027] The workbench 1 is equipped with a bending mechanism for secondary bending of the spring. The bending mechanism includes two protruding rods 11 fixedly installed on the upper end of the workbench 1. The protruding rods 11 are detachable and are fixed to the workbench 1 by bolts, which makes it easy to replace the protruding rods 11 of different diameters to adapt to the processing of springs of various specifications. A gantry frame 15 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the workbench 1. A second electric push rod 14 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the gantry frame 15. A pressure rod 12 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 14. The pressure rod 12 is located above the middle of the two protruding rods 11. Two guide rods 13 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the pressure rod 12. The guide rods 13 are slidably connected to the gantry frame 15.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] The spring is first placed on the positioning plate 10 on the worktable 1 for initial positioning. The drive motor 3 is started, driving the screw 6, which is fixed coaxially with the spring, to rotate. Since the threads on the two screws 6 turn in opposite directions, when they rotate, they drive the two nuts 16 to move towards or away from each other in the slide groove 4, thereby driving the limiting plate 5 to move. This adjusts the position of the limiting plate 5, tightly clamping the spring between the positioning plate 10 and the limiting plate 5, ensuring the stability of the spring during subsequent processing.

[0030] Once the spring is securely clamped, the first electric push rod 7 is activated, pushing the slide plate 8, whose telescopic end is fixed, to slide on the worktable 1. As the slide plate 8 moves, the folding plate 9 will gradually approach and contact the spring, and then bend both sides of the spring.

[0031] After the initial folding is completed, if further bending is required, the second electric push rod 14 is activated to push the pressure rod 12, which is fixed at its telescopic end, downward. The pressure rod 12 is located above the middle of the two protruding rods 11. Therefore, when the pressure rod 12 moves down, it will contact and compress the already folded spring, causing it to bend a second time under the support of the two protruding rods 11, thus achieving the upward folding of the spring.
