Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal processing equipment technology, and in particular to a hydraulic bending machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of precision sheet metal processing, traditional sheet metal bending machines generally suffer from two major technical bottlenecks in the bending and forming processes of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and other sheets: First, the drive system often uses a single hydraulic cylinder or an asymmetrical power layout, leading to an imbalance of forces on both sides during the lifting and lowering of the upper tool holder. This easily causes bending line deviation and sheet metal distortion, severely affecting forming accuracy. Second, the stop mechanism usually adopts a fixed support structure, requiring manual adjustment of its position by turning screws and using a ruler. Each adjustment necessitates trial machining to verify positioning accuracy, resulting in cumbersome operation, low efficiency, and poor repeatability. While some synchronous improvement solutions exist in existing technologies, they mostly rely on complex electronic control systems for synchronous compensation, which is not only costly but also difficult to adapt to high-intensity processing environments. Therefore, a mechanical optimization solution with a simple structure, high synchronous accuracy, and the ability to quickly and accurately adjust the stop position is urgently needed.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The hydraulic bending machine provided by this utility model includes a frame 1, an upper knife holder 3, a lower knife holder 2, a lower die 5, and an upper die 6. The upper knife holder 3 and the lower knife holder 2 are arranged vertically on the front wall of the frame 1, and the upper die 6 is arranged on the lower wall of the upper knife holder 3. The upper die 6 and the lower die 5 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction.

[0032] By precisely aligning the lower die 5 and the upper die 6, the vertical bending action of the sheet metal is achieved, avoiding bending angle deviation caused by die misalignment.

[0033] In order to achieve stable lifting and synchronous power transmission of the upper tool holder 3, the upper tool holder 3 is slidably connected to the front wall of the frame 1 through the guide plate and guide rail. Two sets of hydraulic cylinders 4 are fixedly connected to the upper wall of the frame 1 near the front wall. The ends of the extension shafts of the two sets of hydraulic cylinders 4 are fixedly connected to the upper wall of the upper tool holder 3.

[0034] The dual hydraulic cylinders 4 symmetrically drive the upper tool holder 3 to move vertically along the guide rail, providing balanced driving force, avoiding the off-center load problem caused by single cylinder drive, and ensuring uniform distribution of bending pressure;

[0035] In order to force the synchronous lifting and lowering of the left and right sides of the upper tool holder 3 and eliminate the deviation of the bending line, a linkage shaft 8 is rotatably connected between the left and right sides of the frame 1 to control the synchronous left and right movement of the upper tool holder 3 during lifting and lowering. The left and right ends of the linkage shaft 8 pass through the left and right walls of the frame 1 respectively and extend to the left and right sides of the frame 1 respectively. A set of gears 9 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the linkage shaft 8 that extend to the outside of the frame 1 respectively. The left and right ends of the upper tool holder 3 extend toward the left and right sides of the frame 1 respectively. A set of rack plates 7 are fixedly connected to the rear wall of the upper tool holder 3 near the left and right ends respectively. The two sets of rack plates 7 mesh with a set of gears 9 respectively.

[0036] When the hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the upper tool holder 3 to rise and fall, the rack plate 7 drives the gear 9 to rotate, and the linkage shaft 8 forces the gears 9 on both sides to rotate synchronously, ensuring that the left and right movements of the upper tool holder 3 are completely synchronized, thus completely solving the problem of bending line distortion caused by asynchronous action.

[0037] To achieve linear movement and precise positioning of the stop block 21, replacing the traditional manual measurement and adjustment method, two sets of screws 14 are rotatably connected to each other in a left-right arrangement on the front wall of the lower tool holder 2 and near the upper wall. The screws 14 are rotatably connected to the front wall of the lower tool holder 2 through the rotating seat 13. The rear end of the screw 14 passes through the inner wall of the lower tool holder 2. The end of the screw 14 extending to the rear side of the lower tool holder 2 is provided with a stop block 21. A guide rod 18 extending towards the rear side of the lower tool holder 2 is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the lower tool holder 2 and above the screw 14. The end of the guide rod 18 away from the lower tool holder 2 is connected to the rear end of the screw 14 through the connecting block 19. The guide rod 18 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 19. The screw 14 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 19. A slider 20 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 14 and between the lower tool holder 2 and the connecting block 19. The guide rod 18 passes through the inner wall of the slider 20 and is slidably connected to the slider 20. The stop block 21 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the slider 20.

[0038] When the screw 14 is rotated, the slider 20 moves linearly along the guide rod 18, driving the stop block 21 to move forward and backward precisely. The guide rod 18 eliminates the swaying of the screw 14, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the stop block 21 is straight, and avoiding the positioning deviation caused by traditional screw fixing.

[0039] To visualize the rotation of the screw 14 into the linear displacement of the stop block 21 and achieve rapid, ruler-free adjustment, a base plate 10 is fixedly connected to the front wall of the lower tool holder 2 and to the right of the screw 14. A housing 11 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the base plate 10. A worm gear 16 is rotatably connected between the upper wall of the base plate 10 and the upper inner wall of the housing 11 via a rotating rod. A scale 17 is provided on the upper wall of the worm gear 16. One end of the screw 14, located in front of the lower tool holder 2, penetrates the inner wall of the housing 11 and extends to the front of the housing 11. On the side, a crank 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 14 extending to the front side of the box 11. The part of the screw 14 located inside the box 11 is provided with a worm section 1401. The worm section 1401 meshes with the outer wall of the worm wheel 16. Multiple sets of scale lines are provided on the upper wall of the dial 17. The multiple sets of scale lines are evenly distributed in a circle with the axis of the dial 17 as the center. A scale window 12 is provided on the upper wall of the box 11 near the front wall for easy observation of the dial 17. The lower mold 5 is set on the upper wall of the lower tool holder 2.

[0040] When the crank handle 15 drives the screw 14 to rotate, the worm section 1401 drives the worm wheel 16 and the scale 17 to rotate. The operator can directly read the scale line of the scale 17 through the scale window 12. The scale line is the displacement of the stop block 21 calculated in combination with the worm gear transmission ratio, realizing the integrated operation of "rotating the crank handle - scale reading - precise positioning", replacing the traditional ruler measurement trial and error process, and greatly improving the adjustment efficiency.

[0041] Working principle: Precise alignment of the lower die 5 and upper die 6 achieves vertical bending of the sheet metal, avoiding bending angle deviations caused by die misalignment; dual hydraulic cylinders 4 symmetrically drive the upper tool holder 3 to move vertically along the guide rail, providing balanced driving force and avoiding uneven load problems caused by single-cylinder drive, ensuring uniform bending pressure distribution; when the hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the upper tool holder 3 to rise and fall, the rack plate 7 drives the gear 9 to rotate, and the linkage shaft 8 forces the left and right gears 9 to rotate synchronously, ensuring that the left and right movements of the upper tool holder 3 are completely synchronized, completely solving the bending line distortion caused by asynchronous action; when the screw 14 rotates, the slider 20 moves along the guide rod... The linear movement of the guide rod 18 drives the stop block 21 to move precisely forward and backward. The guide rod 18 eliminates the sway of the screw 14, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the stop block 21 is straight and avoiding the positioning deviation caused by traditional screw fixing. When the rotating handle 15 drives the screw 14 to rotate, the worm section 1401 drives the worm wheel 16 and the scale 17 to rotate. The operator can directly read the scale line of the scale 17 through the scale window 12. The scale line is the displacement of the stop block 21 calculated in combination with the worm gear transmission ratio, realizing the integrated operation of "rotating handle - scale reading - precise positioning", replacing the traditional ruler measurement trial and error process, and greatly improving the adjustment efficiency.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
