Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material feeding table technology, and in particular to a material feeding table that assists in bending center. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of feed table technology for traditional auxiliary bending centers, the core bottleneck in improving processing efficiency and accuracy lies in the single-station operation mode and inefficient positioning method. The feed table generally consists of a worktable and other parts, where the worktable surface is used to support the workpiece, and other components work together to transport the workpiece in a set direction.
[0003] Currently, most material handling stations adopt a single-station design, requiring workpiece processing to strictly follow a linear process of "loading → waiting for bending → bending → waiting for removal → removal." During the bending stage, operators must wait for the equipment to complete hydraulic system pressurization and mold lifting, during which loading or removal operations are impossible. The single-station mode requires operators to monitor the equipment status throughout the process, and manually remove and load parts immediately after each processing cycle. This not only results in high labor intensity but also easily leads to operational delays due to fatigue, further extending the production cycle time. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a feeding table for assisting the bending center.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A feeding table for an auxiliary bending center includes a fixed base and a rotating table. The rotating table has multiple placement slots. The bottom wall of each placement slot has two movable slots and one forming slot. A crossbar is provided in the movable slot. A moving block is slidably sleeved on the crossbar through an elastic mechanism. A drive motor is provided on the rotating table through a fixed mechanism. The upper end face of the fixed base has a meshing groove. A gear ring is provided in the meshing groove. The drive motor is connected to the gear ring through the meshing mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the elastic mechanism includes a spring sleeved on the outside of the crossbar, with both ends of the spring connected to the outer wall of the moving block and the inner wall of the movable groove, respectively.
[0008] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing ring mounted on the drive motor, and the fixing ring is provided with fixing bolts that are threadedly connected to the rotary table.
[0009] Preferably, the meshing mechanism includes a gear mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor, the gear meshing with a gear ring.
[0010] Preferably, the movable block is provided with a limiting block, and the movable block and the limiting block are in an L-shape.
[0011] Preferably, the upper end face of the fixed base is provided with a support ring, and the bottom of the rotating table is provided with a support groove corresponding to the support ring.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. One station processes directly below the bending die, another station completes processing and waits for parts to be picked up, and another station can simultaneously feed materials, achieving uninterrupted operation, which is more efficient than a single-station material feeding table.
[0014] 2. The movable block placed in the slot uses springs to elastically press the two ends of the product to be processed, and works in conjunction with the L-shaped limiting block to restrict the upper surface of the product, so as to prevent the two ends of the workpiece from lifting or shifting due to downward pressure during bending.
[0015] 3. The drive motor is installed via a fixing ring and fixing bolts, making disassembly and assembly convenient. During maintenance, the motor can be quickly replaced or the transmission mechanism can be repaired. The matching design of the support ring and support groove enhances the stability of the rotary table, reduces rotational sway, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-5A feeding table for an auxiliary bending center includes a fixed base 1 and a rotary table 2. The rotary table 2 is provided with multiple placement slots 3, as shown in the figure. Specifically, there are three placement slots. In this way, one placement slot 3 is located directly below the bending die and is waiting to be pressed down for bending, another has been bent and is waiting to be taken out, and the last one is a product that has been taken out and is placed into a new product waiting to be bent. That is to say, there are three workstations.
[0024] Each placement slot 3 has two movable slots 14 and one forming slot 13 on its inner bottom wall. A crossbar 15 is provided in the movable slot 14. A moving block 16 is slidably sleeved on the crossbar 15 through an elastic mechanism. A drive motor 4 is provided on the rotating table 2 through a fixing mechanism. A meshing slot 10 is provided on the upper end face of the fixed seat 1. A gear ring 12 is provided in the meshing slot 10. The drive motor 4 is connected to the gear ring 12 through the meshing mechanism.
[0025] The elastic mechanism includes a spring 17 sleeved on the outside of the crossbar 15, with both ends of the spring 17 connected to the outer wall of the movable block 16 and the inner wall of the movable groove 14, respectively. The elastic potential energy provided by the spring 17 enables the movable block 16 to be compressed. When the two movable blocks 16 in the groove 3 are brought close together, they can fix the two ends of the product to be processed.
[0026] The fixing mechanism includes a fixing ring 7 mounted on the drive motor 4, and a fixing bolt 8 threadedly connected to the rotary table 2 on the fixing ring 7. The fixing ring 7 is welded to the drive motor 4, and the fixing bolt 8 together enable easy assembly and disassembly of the drive motor 4.
[0027] The meshing mechanism includes a gear 11 mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 4, which meshes with a gear ring 12. When the drive motor 4 starts, it drives the gear 11 to rotate. At this time, under the action of the gear ring 12, the rotary table 2 and the drive motor 4 will rotate relative to the fixed base 1.
[0028] The movable block 16 is equipped with a limiting block 18, and the movable block 16 and the limiting block 18 are in an L-shape. The limiting block 18 can limit the upper surface of the product being processed, and to a certain extent prevents the two ends from warping up during the bending process.
[0029] The upper surface of the fixed base 1 is provided with a support ring 5, and the bottom of the rotary table 2 is provided with a support groove 6 corresponding to the support ring 5. The design of the support ring 5 and the support groove 6 ensures the stability of the rotary table 2 when mounted on the fixed base 1.
[0030] Components not specifically described in this utility model are all standard parts and can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods for each component all employ mature methods from the prior art, and will not be detailed here. Content not described in detail in this specification belongs to prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0031] In use, the two movable blocks 16 in the placement slot 3 are first moved to move the limiting block 18 away from the slot, while the spring 17 is compressed (its elastic potential energy is sufficient). Then, the plate-shaped product to be processed is placed into the placement slot 3. The movable blocks 16 are then released, and the limiting block 18 moves closer under the action of the spring 17 to limit the two ends and the upper surface of the product to be processed. Then, the drive motor 4 is started, and the drive motor 4 drives the gear 11 to rotate. Since the fixed seat 1 and the gear ring 12 are stationary, the rotating table 2 and other components will rotate. The bending die is set above the rotating table 2. When the placement slot 3 and other components move to the bottom of the bending die, the bending die descends by the lifting component and finally enters the forming slot 13 to perform bending processing. During the downward bending process, the spring 17 pushes the movable blocks 16 and the limiting block 18 to move, thereby limiting the two ends of the product to be processed and preventing the two ends from lifting. After processing, the product is raised and reset. Then, the rotating table 2 rotates again to move the next product to be processed in the placement slot 3 to the processing position for processing.
[0032] Once the product in the placement slot 3, which is offset from the bending mold, has been processed, it needs to be removed. Move the two moving blocks 16 away from the product so that they do not obstruct the product, and finally lift the product to remove it.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
