Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling treatment technology, specifically to an adaptive cooling device and a sheet metal processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the vacuum forming machines used in the refrigerator manufacturing industry use conveyor clamps on both sides to hold the plastic sheet into the heating furnace for heating. During the heating process, in order to keep the four sides of the sheet from deforming, a cooling structure is needed to cool the edges of the sheet to prevent them from deforming due to heat.

[0003] In the existing technology, when dealing with different specifications of sheet metal, operators need to change the cooling structure of different sizes each time the sheet metal model is changed, which increases the changeover time and reduces efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to overcome the aforementioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0006] Main beam;

[0007] A cooling plate is fixedly connected to the main beam along a first direction;

[0008] An adjustable cooling assembly is movably connected to the main beam along the first direction and is disposed on one side of the cooling plate;

[0009] The delivery clamp includes a first clamp and a second clamp located on both sides of the adjustable cooling assembly. The first clamp and the second clamp can be relatively close or relatively far apart under external force to have a clamped state and a released state.

[0010] The adjustable cooling assembly includes two sets of connecting structures disposed at both ends of the cooling plate and a cooling structure connected to the connecting structures. When the conveying clamp switches from the released state to the clamping state, the two connecting structures can be subjected to clamping force to move the cooling structure relatively closer together, thereby reducing the total length of the cooling plate and the cooling structure. When the conveying clamp switches from the clamping state to the released state, the clamping force on the two connecting structures is removed, thereby reducing the movement of the cooling structure relatively away, thereby increasing the total length of the cooling plate and the cooling structure.

[0011] Optionally, in the above-mentioned adaptive cooling device, each set of the connection structure includes a roller arranged along the second direction and located above the main beam, and a connector arranged along the vertical direction. One end of the connector is connected to the roller, and the other end of the connector is fixedly connected to the cooling structure. The cooling structure moves relative to the cooling plate along the first direction under the action of the roller by an external force.

[0012] The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0013] Optionally, the adaptive cooling device described above further includes a protruding plate and two spring retaining rods. The protruding plate protrudes from the cooling plate toward the adjustable cooling assembly. Each spring retaining rod has one end connected to the protruding plate and the other end connected to the connecting structure, as well as an elastic element disposed between the protruding plate and the spring retaining rod.

[0014] Optionally, in the above-described adaptive cooling device, each of the spring retaining rods is provided with a retaining block at both ends, the diameter of the retaining block being larger than the diameter of the spring retaining rod.

[0015] Optionally, in the aforementioned adaptive cooling device, the two spring retaining rods are staggered in the second direction.

[0017] Optionally, in the above-described adaptive cooling device, the cooling plate has a first water inlet, a first water outlet, and a first channel connecting the first water outlet and a second water outlet, wherein the first channel is always at the same distance from the edge of the cooling plate.

[0018] Optionally, in the above-mentioned adaptive cooling device, the cooling structure includes a second water inlet, a second water outlet, and a second channel connecting the second water inlet and the second water outlet, wherein the second water inlet and the second water outlet are respectively disposed at both ends of the cooling structure along the first direction.

[0019] Optionally, in the above-described adaptive cooling device, the total distance between the cooling plate and the two cooling structures in the first direction is 500-900 mm.

[0020] This application also provides a sheet metal processing apparatus, which includes at least the adaptive cooling device as described in any one of the above-mentioned methods.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: by setting a main beam, a cooling plate, an adjustable cooling component and a conveying clamp, and the adjustable cooling component includes a connecting structure and a cooling structure, when the conveying clamp is in different states, the connecting structure can drive the cooling structure to move relative to each other, thereby adjusting the total length of the cooling plate and the cooling structure.

[0036] To fully understand this application, detailed steps and structures will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solution of this application. Preferred embodiments of this application are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this application may have other implementation methods.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown in the preferred embodiment of this application, the adaptive cooling device is installed in a sheet material processing device to cool the sheet material and prevent it from warping. In this embodiment, the sheet material processing device is a vacuum forming machine.

[0038] The adaptive cooling device includes a main beam 1, a cooling plate 2 fixedly connected to the main beam 1 along a first direction, an adjustable cooling component 3 movably connected to the main beam 1 along the first direction and disposed on one side of the cooling plate 2, and a conveying clamp 4. The conveying clamp 4 includes a first clamp 41 and a second clamp 42 located on both sides of the adjustable cooling assembly 3. The first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 can move relatively closer or relatively farther apart under external force to have a clamping state and a releasing state. The adjustable cooling assembly 3 includes two sets of connecting structures 31 and cooling structures 32 connected to the connecting structures 31 at both ends of the cooling plate 2. When the conveying clamp 4 switches from the releasing state to the clamping state, the two connecting structures 31 can be driven by the clamping force of the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 to move the cooling structures 32 relatively closer together, so as to reduce the total length of the cooling plate 2 and the cooling structures 32. When the conveying clamp 4 switches from the clamping state to the releasing state, the clamping force on the two connecting structures 31 is removed, and the cooling structures 32 are moved relatively farther apart, so as to increase the total length of the cooling plate 2 and the cooling structures 32. Thus, the total length of the cooling plate 2 and the cooling structures 32 can be automatically adjusted according to the length of the plate held by the clamping assembly. This can achieve the cooling of plates of various specifications without the need for manual intervention, reducing the difficulty of operation and labor costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cooling plate 2 is 500mm long, and each cooling structure 32 is 200mm long. Therefore, the total distance between the cooling plate 2 and the two cooling structures 32 in the first direction is adjustable from 500 to 900mm. In other embodiments, the lengths of the cooling plate 2 and the cooling structures 32 are not specifically limited, but are determined according to the actual situation.

[0040] In this embodiment, since the specifications and structures of the two sets of connecting structures 31 and cooling structures 32 are the same, only one of the connecting structures 31 and cooling structures 32 will be described below.

[0041] In this embodiment, each group of connecting structures 31 is configured with two, that is, a total of four connecting structures 31 are configured. Every two connecting structures 31 are fixedly connected to one cooling structure 32 to improve the stability of the cooling structure 32 when it moves. In other embodiments, the number of connecting structures 31 is not specifically limited.

[0042] Specifically, each connecting structure 31 includes a roller 311 positioned along the second direction and above the main beam 1, and a connector 312 positioned vertically. One end of the connector 312 is connected to the roller 311, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cooling structure 32. When the conveying clamp 4 switches from a released state to a clamped state, the cooling structure 32, under the clamping force of the conveying clamp 4 and the action of the roller 311, moves along the first direction toward the cooling plate 2 to reduce the total length of the cooling plate 2 and the cooling structure 32, thus adapting to the plate material in the conveying clamp 4 and cooling it. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0043] In this embodiment, the adaptive cooling device further includes a protruding plate 55 and two spring retaining rods 6. The protruding plate 55 protrudes from the cooling plate 2 toward the adjustable cooling assembly 3. Each spring retaining rod 6 has one end connected to the protruding plate 55 and the other end connected to the connecting structure 31, as well as an elastic element disposed between the protruding plate 55 and the spring retaining rod 6. When the conveying clamp 4 switches from the clamping state to the releasing state, the clamping force applied to the connecting structure 31 is released. Under the action of the elastic element and the spring retaining rods 6, the connecting structure 31 moves away from the cooling plate 2 to increase the total length of the cooling plate 2 and the cooling structure 32.

[0044] Furthermore, each spring retaining rod 6 is provided with a retaining block 61 at both ends, the diameter of the retaining block 61 being larger than the diameter of the spring retaining rod 6, to prevent the spring retaining rod 6 from detaching from the connecting structure 31. It should be noted that, of the two connecting structures 31 at both ends of the cooling plate 2, the outer connecting structure 31 contacts the conveying clamp 4, and the inner connecting structure 31 is connected to the spring retaining rod 6.

[0045] Furthermore, the two spring retaining rods 6 are staggered in the second direction. This arrangement is to ensure that the two spring retaining rods 6 do not interfere with each other when the conveying clamp 4 holds the outer connecting structure 31, thus ensuring that the cooling plate 2 completely covers the two cooling structures 32, i.e., the cooling range is 500mm.

[0046] As described above, the cooling plate 2 includes a sliding part 21, and the cooling structure 32 is provided with a sliding block 321 adapted to the sliding part 21. The cooling structure 32 can move along the cooling plate 2 under the action of the sliding part 21 and the sliding block 321, preventing the cooling structure 32 from deviating when moving relative to the cooling plate 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, the cooling plate 2 has a first water inlet 22, a first water outlet 23, and a first channel 24 connecting the first water outlet 23 and the second water outlet 323. The distance of the first channel 24 from the edge of the cooling plate 2 is always the same, ensuring that the cooling water flow is evenly distributed and improving the consistency and stability of the cooling effect.

[0048] The cooling structure 32 includes a second inlet 322, a second outlet 323, and a second channel 324 connecting the second inlet 322 and the second outlet 323. The second inlet 322 and the second outlet 323 are respectively arranged at both ends of the cooling structure 32 along the first direction, which facilitates the entry and exit of cooling water, optimizes the path of cooling water flow, and significantly improves cooling efficiency.

[0049] In summary, this application can achieve the following: by setting up a connecting structure and a cooling structure connected to the connecting structure, the conveying clamp can apply clamping force to the cooling structure, causing the cooling structure to move towards the cooling plate under the action of the connecting structure; when the clamping force applied to the connecting structure is removed, the cooling structure resets under the action of the elastic element and the spring retaining rod, thereby realizing the total distance between the cooling structure and the cooling plate, that is, the cooling range can be automatically adjusted according to the specifications of the plate clamped by the conveying clamp, without the need for manual adjustment of the cooling range, which greatly improves work efficiency.

[0050] The above is only one specific implementation of this application, and any other improvements made based on the concept of this application shall be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
