Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical automation processing technology, and in particular to an automatic bending and forming device for water supply valve coil terminals. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial manufacturing sector, automated production technology is constantly evolving and advancing. Automated production not only significantly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs, but also ensures the stability and consistency of product quality. For the processing and forming of various parts, achieving automation has become a goal pursued by many enterprises. This demand is particularly urgent in the production of precision parts, such as small components with high precision requirements like water valve coil terminals. Automated production technology enables more standardized and regulated production processes, reducing the impact of human factors on product quality, thereby driving the entire manufacturing industry towards a higher level of development.

[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for bending and forming water supply valve coil terminals. One method relies entirely on manual operation, where workers use simple tools to pick up, place, and bend each terminal individually. While this method offers high flexibility, it has extremely low production efficiency, and due to variations in manual operation, it's difficult to guarantee consistent bending accuracy and forming quality for each terminal. The other method uses semi-automated equipment. This equipment often only completes part of the process; for example, some equipment can only remove the terminals from the storage area, requiring manual placement into the bending equipment for the next step. Other equipment may require manual adjustment during the bending process to ensure a certain level of bending accuracy. Neither manual operation nor semi-automated equipment can achieve a fully automated process from terminal storage and retrieval to bending and forming, resulting in low production efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing the accuracy and consistency of terminal bending and forming.
