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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0022] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, an aluminum single-panel production edge-folding device includes a workbench 11, with an edge-folding assembly mounted on the top of the workbench 11; a base 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 11, and a top seat 13 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 12; a motor 15 is fixedly connected to the workbench 11; a gear ring 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top seat 13; a gear 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 15, and the gear 16 and the gear ring 14 mesh with each other; a bracket 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the top seat 13; the edge-folding assembly is located on the side of the bracket 17; the edge-folding assembly includes a fixed seat 21, with an edge-folding seat 22 hinged to the side of the fixed seat 21 away from the bracket 17; the fixed seat 21 is located on the side of the bracket 17; a first hydraulic cylinder 23 is hinged to the bottom of the edge-folding seat 22, and the bottom of the first hydraulic cylinder 23 is hinged to the workbench 11.
[0024] In use, the operator places the board on top of the bracket 17, which supports the board. The side of the board is placed on top of the fixed seat 21. A first hydraulic cylinder 23 is hinged between the folding seat 22 and the worktable 11. The extension and retraction of the first hydraulic cylinder 23 drives the folding seat 22 to rotate, thereby pushing the side of the board to fold. After one side is folded, the top seat 13 is rotatably connected to the base 12. The motor 15 drives the gear 16 to rotate. The gear 16 drives the gear ring 14, the top seat 13 and the bracket 17 to rotate, thereby allowing the board to rotate and switch different sides. This makes it convenient for the operator to use. The motor 15 is a servo motor.
[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5As shown, a frame 31 is fixedly mounted on the workbench 11, and a second hydraulic cylinder 32 is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 31. A pressure plate 33 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 32, and the pressure plate 33 is located above the fixed base 21.
[0026] In use, a frame 31 is fixed on the workbench 11, and the pressure plate 33 is located above the fixed seat 21. Then, the pressure plate 33 is moved up and down by the second hydraulic cylinder 32. When the pressure plate 33 moves down, it will squeeze and fix the plate located above the fixed seat 21, thereby playing a fixing role.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a conveyor seat 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 11. The conveyor seat 41 is located in the middle of the base 12. A motor 42 is fixedly connected to the conveyor seat 41. A drive roller 43 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 42. The drive roller 43 is rotatably connected to the top of the conveyor seat 41. A pair of grooves 51 are provided on both sides of the bracket 17. Multiple vacuum suction cups 52 are fixedly connected inside the grooves 51. A bearing is installed at the rotatable connection between the base 12 and the top seat 13. The surface of the drive roller 43 is made of rubber.
[0028] During use, the vacuum suction cup 52 is activated to adhere and fix the bottom of the plate during rotation, thereby fixing the plate above the bracket 17. This facilitates the movement of the plate as the bracket 17 rotates. After bending is completed, the vacuum suction cup 52 is turned off to release the fixation. Then, the motor 42 is activated, which drives the drive roller 43 to rotate, thereby conveying and moving the plate. This facilitates the movement of the plate above the folding seat 22 for easy use. A bearing is installed at the rotating connection between the base 12 and the top seat 13 to reduce rotational friction. The rubber material on the surface of the drive roller 43 increases friction.
[0029] Working principle: During use, the operator places the sheet material on top of the bracket 17, which supports the sheet material. The side of the sheet material is placed on top of the fixed seat 21. A first hydraulic cylinder 23 is hinged between the folding seat 22 and the worktable 11. The extension and retraction of the first hydraulic cylinder 23 drives the folding seat 22 to rotate, thereby pushing the side of the sheet material to fold. After one side is folded, the top seat 13 is rotatably connected to the base 12. The motor 15 drives the gear 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 14, the top seat 13, and the bracket 17 to rotate, thus allowing the sheet material to rotate and switch between different sides. This facilitates operation for the operator. The motor 15 is a servo motor. During use, a frame 31 is fixed on the worktable 11, and the pressure plate 33 is located above the fixed seat 21. The second hydraulic cylinder 32 drives the pressure plate 33 to move up and down. When the pressure plate 33 moves down, it squeezes and fixes the plate located above the fixed seat 21, thus achieving a fixing effect. During use, during the rotation process, the vacuum suction cup 52 is activated to suction and fix the bottom of the plate, thereby fixing the plate above the bracket 17. During the rotation of the bracket 17, it is convenient to move the plate. After the bending is completed, the vacuum suction cup 52 is turned off to release the fixation. Then, the motor 42 is started, and the motor 42 drives the drive roller 43 to rotate, thereby conveying and moving the plate, thus facilitating the movement of the plate above the folding seat 22 for easy use. The base 12 and the top seat 13 are connected by a bearing to reduce the friction of rotation. The rubber material on the surface of the drive roller 43 increases the friction.
