Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of U-shaped buckle production and processing equipment, specifically to a feeding mechanism for producing U-shaped buckles. Background Technology

[0002] U-shaped clips, as key components in mechanical connections, are typically formed by bending metal strips using a bending mechanism. During this bending process, a feeding mechanism is needed to feed the metal strips. The accuracy and stability of this feeding mechanism have a crucial impact on production efficiency and product quality. Traditional feeding methods often suffer from uneven feeding and difficulty in precisely controlling the feeding amount and height, leading to problems such as jamming and metal strip deformation during production, thus affecting efficiency and product quality. Therefore, a feeding mechanism capable of precise feeding control and adaptable to different production needs is required. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the feeding drive assembly includes two mounting frames respectively arranged along the conveying direction.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] A feeding mechanism for producing U-shaped buckles, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a worktable 1, which serves as the basic support component of the entire feeding mechanism. A lifting drive assembly 2 is installed at the bottom of the worktable 1, which is used to drive the worktable 1 to rise and fall. A clamping drive assembly 3 is installed on the upper surface of the worktable 1, and a feeding drive assembly 4 is installed on the clamping drive assembly 3. The clamping drive assembly 3 is used to drive the feeding drive assembly 4 to clamp the metal strip used to produce U-shaped buckles, and the feeding drive assembly 4 is used to feed the metal strip. A support assembly 5 is also installed on the worktable 1, which is used to support the metal strip during the feeding process of the feeding drive assembly 4.

[0021] The lifting drive assembly 2 includes four lifting drive cylinders 21, which are located at the four corners of the bottom of the worktable 1 and move synchronously. The lifting drive assembly 2 drives the worktable 1 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the lifting and falling of the entire feeding mechanism, and thus realizing the adjustment of the feeding height to adapt to different production needs and ensure accurate feeding.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the clamping drive assembly 3 includes two positive and negative lead screws 31, which are horizontally rotatably mounted on the worktable 1. The two lead screws 31 are spaced apart along the feeding direction and perpendicular to it. One end of one lead screw 31 is connected to a clamping drive motor 34, and is connected to the same-side end of the other lead screw 31 via a clamping transmission component 33. The clamping drive assembly 3 drives the two lead screws 31 to rotate synchronously through the clamping drive motor 34 and the clamping transmission component 33, thereby driving the feeding drive assembly 4 to clamp and release the metal strip, ensuring clamping force, maintaining the stability of the metal strip during feeding, and preventing damage to the metal strip.

[0023] The feeding drive assembly 4 includes two mounting frames 41, which are respectively arranged along the conveying direction and are positioned opposite each other, and are respectively connected to the screw nuts 32 arranged on the same side of the two positive and negative screws 31. Figure 3As shown, a plurality of conveying rollers 42 are longitudinally driven on the mounting frame 41. These conveying rollers 42 are spaced apart along the conveying direction and are connected to each other via a feeding transmission component 43. The feeding transmission component 43 is connected to a feeding drive motor 44, which is mounted on the mounting frame 41. When the clamping drive assembly 3 drives the two mounting frames 41 to move towards each other to ensure that the conveying rollers 42 on both sides clamp the metal strip, the feeding drive assembly 4 drives the conveying rollers 42 to rotate via the feeding drive motor 44 and the feeding transmission component 43. The rotation directions of the conveying rollers 42 on the two mounting frames 41 are opposite, thereby realizing the feeding of the metal strip. The cooperation between the feeding transmission component 43 and the feeding drive motor 44 ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the feeding.

[0024] The support assembly 5 includes several support columns 51, which are located between two mounting frames 41 and spaced apart along the conveying direction. These support columns 51 are alternately arranged with the conveying rollers 42, ensuring no interference with feeding. A support plate 52 is provided at the top of each support column 51. The support plate 52 supports the metal strip and has a V-shaped longitudinal section. The support assembly 5 provides support for the metal strip, preventing it from sagging during feeding. The V-shaped support plate 52 better conforms to the metal strip, reducing friction.

[0025] Specifically, the clamping transmission component 33 and the feeding transmission component 43 are existing technologies and can be belts and pulleys, which will not be limited or described in detail here.

[0026] A PLC controller is installed on the workbench 1. The output of the PLC controller is connected to the controlled terminals of the lifting drive assembly 2, the clamping drive assembly 3, and the feeding drive assembly 4, respectively. Specifically, it is connected to the controlled terminals of the lifting drive cylinder 21, the clamping drive motor 34, and the feeding drive motor 44. The PLC controller enables automatic control of the entire mechanism.

[0027] In use, the metal strip is placed on the upper support plate 52 of the support assembly 5. The PLC controller controls the lifting drive assembly 2 to adjust the height of the worktable 1, positioning the metal strip in a suitable feeding position. Then, the clamping drive motor 34 is started, which drives the two positive and negative lead screws 31 to rotate through the clamping transmission component 33, thus clamping the metal strip with the feeding drive assembly 4. Next, the feeding drive motor 44 is started, which drives the conveying roller 42 to rotate through the feeding transmission component 43, conveying the metal strip to the subsequent processing steps in preparation for the production of U-shaped buckles. During the feeding process, the support assembly 5 provides support for the metal strip, ensuring smooth feeding.
