[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-2This application provides a tooling for the production of animal cages (hereinafter referred to as "the tooling"). The tooling is mainly used to bend the steel bars or steel pipes at the corners of the animal cages, thereby reducing the number of steel bars or steel pipes welded and thus speeding up the production process of the animal cages.
[0023] The tooling includes:
[0024] A bending platform 1 is provided with a preset number of insertion through holes 100, which penetrate the bending platform 1.
[0025] The first bending mechanism 3 includes a support platform 31 and a first bending body 32. The first bending body 32 is mounted on the support platform 31, and the support platform 31 is mounted on the bending platform 1.
[0026] The second bending mechanism 5 includes a plug rod 510, a first connector 53, and a second connector 54. The plug rod 510 is fixedly connected to the second connector 54, and the first connector 53 and the second connector 54 are fixedly connected together. The plug rod 510 is adapted to the plug-in through hole 100 on the bending platform 1.
[0027] The bending platform 1 includes a straight column 101 fixedly connected to it. A first gap exists between the first bending body 32 of the first bending mechanism 3 and the straight column 101, and a second gap exists between the insertion rod 510 of the second bending mechanism 5 and the straight column 101. Both the first and second gaps are variable in size. In this application, the straight column 101 is fixedly connected to the bending platform 1 by welding, the insertion rod 510 and the second connecting member 54 are fixedly connected by welding, and the second connecting member 54 and the first connecting member 53 are fixedly connected together by welding.
[0028] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-2The tooling also includes a support column 2, which is fixedly connected to the bending platform 1. The second bending mechanism 5 also includes a neck plate 51 and a sliding rail 52. The neck plate 51 is fixedly connected to the sliding rail 52, and the first connecting member 53 is slidably connected to the sliding rail 52, so that the first connecting member 53 can slide on the sliding rail 52. A bearing 4 is installed on the support column 2, and the neck plate 51 is sleeved on the bearing 4, so that the neck plate 51 can rotate relative to the support column 2. Thus, when the neck plate 51 rotates relative to the support column 2, it drives the sliding rail 2 to rotate, and the sliding rail 2 drives the first connecting member 53 and the second connecting member 54 to rotate, thereby driving the insertion rod 510 to rotate. When the insertion rod 510 rotates to the preset position, the insertion rod 510 is inserted into the insertion through hole 100 on the bending platform 1. At this time, the second gap between the straight column 101 and the insertion rod 510 is determined. Continue to rotate the neck plate 51, and the insertion rod 510 rotates in the insertion through hole 100.
[0029] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-2The second bending mechanism 5 further includes a second adjusting bolt 59 and a second nut 57. The first connecting member 53 is provided with a first elongated through hole 530, which passes through the first connecting member 53. The second adjusting bolt 59 is fixedly connected to the sliding rail 52. The second adjusting bolt 59 passes through the first elongated through hole 530 of the first connecting member 53, and at least a portion of the second adjusting bolt 59 extends out of the first elongated through hole 530. The second adjusting bolt 59 is movable within the first elongated through hole 530. The second nut 57 and the second adjusting bolt 59 are adapted to each other. When the first connecting member 53 slides on the sliding rail 52, the second adjusting bolt 59 also moves within the first elongated through hole 530. When the first connecting member 53 slides to a preset position, the second nut 57 and the second adjusting bolt 59 are tightened together, thereby fixing the first connecting member 53 to the sliding rail 52. In this way, when the first connector 53 slides on the sliding track 52, the second connector 54 connected to the first connector 53 moves synchronously. While the second connector 54 moves, it drives the plug rod 510 to move. When the first connector 53 slides to the preset position, the plug rod 510 also stops above the preset plug hole 100. The plug rod 510 is inserted into the plug hole 100, thereby changing the second gap between the plug rod 510 and the straight column 101. It should be noted that the neck plate 51 in this application is elastic. When it is necessary to change the second gap between the plug rod 510 and the straight post 101, according to the order of operation, firstly, the sliding rail 52 is pressed down, and the sliding rail 52 drives the neck plate 51 to move downward. At the same time, the second connector 54 and the plug rod 510 move upward, so that the plug rod 510 leaves the current plug-in through hole 100. Then, the first connector 53 slides on the sliding rail 52. When it slides to the preset position, it means that the plug rod 510 has also moved to the preset position. Then, the sliding rail 52 is moved upward, and the neck plate 51 returns to its original state. At the same time, the plug rod 510 moves downward until it is inserted into the plug-in through hole 100.
[0030] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-2 The second bending mechanism further includes a preset number of second bearings 55, which are mounted on the insertion rod 510. Thus, when the reinforcing bar or steel pipe is inserted into the second gap between the straight column 101 and the second bearing 55, the neck plate 51 is rotated, thereby causing the insertion rod 510 to rotate within the insertion through hole 100. The reinforcing bar or steel pipe is compressed by the straight column 101 and the second bearing 55, thereby bending the reinforcing bar or steel pipe in the second gap.
[0031] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-2The second bending mechanism also includes a lever 56, which is fixedly connected to the sliding rail 52. Thus, rotating the lever 56 makes bending steel bars or pipes easier.
[0032] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-2 The first bending body 32 of the first bending mechanism 3 includes a first component plate 321, a second component plate 322, and a first adjusting bolt 33. The first component plate 321 is fixedly connected to the second component plate 322, and the first component plate 321 and the second component plate 322 are perpendicular to each other. A second elongated through hole 3210 is provided on the first component plate 321, and the second elongated through hole 3210 extends through the first component plate 321. The second adjusting bolt 33 is fixedly connected to the support platform 31, and the second adjusting bolt 33 passes through the second elongated through hole 3210, and at least a part of the second adjusting bolt 33 extends out of the second elongated through hole 3210. When the first bending body 32 moves, the second adjusting bolt 33 moves in the second elongated through hole 3210. When the first bending body 32 moves to a preset position, the nut and the second adjusting bolt 33 are tightened, thereby fixing the first bending body 32 and the support platform 31 together. In this way, when the first bending body 32 moves, the second adjusting bolt 33 moves in the second elongated through hole 3210, thereby changing the size of the first gap between the first bending body 32 and the straight column 101.
[0033] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-2 The second component plate 322 is provided with an anti-slip structure 3220. In this way, when the steel bar or steel pipe to be bent extends into the gap between the second component plate 322 and the straight column 101, the anti-slip structure 3220 prevents the steel bar or steel pipe from sliding easily.
[0034] The tooling for animal cage production provided in this application has the advantages of simple structure and easy assembly and disassembly. Compared with the prior art of welding steel bars or steel pipes at the corners of animal cages, the tooling provided in this application reduces the number of steel bars or steel pipes welded, significantly speeding up the production speed of animal cages and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the tooling has a significant effect on bending steel bars or steel pipes.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
