Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sheet metal edge stacking mechanism, and in particular to a sheet metal edge stacking mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of sheet metal processing, edge overlapping is a crucial process for connecting the edges of two or more sheet metal parts, widely used in industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, and electronic device housings. Traditional sheet metal edge overlapping mainly relies on manual operation or simple mechanical assistance, resulting in low efficiency, poor precision, and high labor intensity. Manual operation makes it difficult to ensure consistent edge dimensions, easily leading to unstable product quality, and it is particularly challenging for overlapping complex-shaped sheet metal parts.
[0003] While some existing sheet metal stacking equipment has achieved partial automation, it still suffers from drawbacks such as complex structure, difficult debugging, and poor adaptability. Some equipment is difficult to adjust flexibly according to the thickness, material, and shape of different sheet metal parts, resulting in a limited processing range. The positioning accuracy of the equipment is insufficient, which can easily cause stacking offset, affecting the connection strength and appearance quality of the product. Based on this, a sheet metal stacking mechanism is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a sheet metal edge stacking mechanism, which solves the problem that some equipment is difficult to flexibly adjust according to the thickness, material and shape of different sheet metal parts, resulting in limited processing range, insufficient positioning accuracy of the equipment, easy to cause edge offset, and affecting the connection strength and appearance quality of the product.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sheet metal part stacking mechanism, including a frame, a top beam at the top of the frame, a pressing drive cylinder fixedly installed on the top of the top beam, a bearing frame for supporting sheet metal parts on the inner side of the frame, the side of the bearing frame cooperating with a mounting side frame, the mounting side frame being connected to a hinge adjustment rod through a hinge seat, and a support base frame at the bottom of the frame, on which a mounting base frame is configured.
[0006] A further improvement is that the lower end of the push rod of the pressing drive cylinder is connected to the pressing head mounting seat, the bottom of the pressing head mounting seat is fixed with a pressing plate, and the pressing plate is correspondingly set with the sheet metal parts in the bearing frame.
[0007] A further improvement is that the mounting side frame is equipped with a side guide rail, which slides in conjunction with a side slider. The side slider is connected to a workpiece positioning plate, which is used to limit the position of the sheet metal parts within the support frame. The side slider slides on the side guide rail, causing the workpiece positioning plate to laterally limit the position of the sheet metal parts within the support frame, ensuring the accurate horizontal position of the sheet metal parts. At this time, the sheet metal parts are precisely positioned on the support frame.
[0008] A further improvement is that a driver is installed on the mounting base, the driver is connected to a transmission roller through a transmission assembly, the transmission roller is used to transport sheet metal parts to the support frame, the driver is a motor, and the transmission assembly is a belt drive or chain drive structure.
[0009] A further improvement is that one end of the hinged adjusting rod is hinged to the mounting side frame via a hinged seat, and the other end, the cylinder hinged end, is hinged to the frame or support base. The hinged adjusting rod uses a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder to drive the mounting side frame to swing and adjust the angle. The sheet metal parts are precisely positioned on the load-bearing frame. Subsequently, the pressing drive cylinder on the top beam is activated, and the push rod of the pressing drive cylinder extends downward, driving the pressure head mounting seat and the pressing plate to move downward. The pressing plate contacts the sheet metal parts in the load-bearing frame and applies a certain pressure, so that the edges of the sheet metal parts are overlapped.
[0010] A further improvement is that an end driver is provided on one side of the support frame. The end driver is connected to a push plate, which is used to limit or push the end of the sheet metal part in the support frame. The end driver is an electric push rod or a cylinder. The support base and the mounting base provide the mounting foundation and support for the bottom components of the mechanism. After processing, the push rod of the pressing drive cylinder retracts upward, driving the pressing plate away from the sheet metal part. The end driver actuates again, driving the push plate to push the processed sheet metal part out of the support frame, completing the entire edge-folding process.
[0011] A further improvement is that the inner uprights of the frame are fixed to the connecting truss, which enhances the structural stability of the frame. The uprights, the top beam, and the supporting base together form a frame structure. Throughout the entire processing, the inner uprights and the connecting truss are fixed to each other, enhancing the structural stability of the frame. The frame structure formed by the uprights, the top beam, and the supporting base provides stable support for the entire mechanism, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the processing.
[0012] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a sheet metal edge stacking mechanism, which has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This utility model features a transmission roller that works with a driver for automatic feeding. The end driver, push plate, and workpiece positioning plate work together for precise positioning. The pressing drive cylinder drives the pressing plate to automatically complete the edge stacking, greatly reducing manual intervention. Compared with traditional manual or simple equipment, the processing efficiency is improved, and the edge stacking size error is controlled, effectively solving the problems of poor consistency and low precision in manual operation, ensuring product quality stability, and adapting to the needs of large-scale continuous production.
[0014] 2. The hinged adjustment rod of this utility model can flexibly adjust the angle of the mounting side frame. With the side guide rail and workpiece positioning plate, it can adapt to sheet metal parts of different thicknesses and shapes. The frame is constructed with a vertical frame, connecting truss and supporting base to form a stable frame, with low vibration and low deformation during processing. It not only solves the problems of poor adaptability and difficult debugging of traditional equipment, but also ensures processing accuracy, reduces equipment maintenance frequency, extends service life, saves production costs for enterprises, and broadens processing application scenarios.

A driver 11 is installed, which is connected to a transmission roller 15 via a transmission assembly 14. The transmission roller 15 is used to transport sheet metal parts to the support frame 5. The driver 11 is a motor, and the transmission assembly 14 is a belt drive or chain drive structure. One end of the hinge adjustment rod 8 is hinged to the mounting side frame 6 via a hinge seat 4, and the other end, the cylinder hinge end 9, is hinged to the frame 1 or the support base 2. The hinge adjustment rod 8 is a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, used to drive the mounting side frame 6 to swing and adjust the angle. An end driver 13 is provided on one side of the support frame 5. The end driver 13 is connected to a push plate 12. The push plate 12 is used to limit or push the end of the sheet metal parts in the support frame 5, and the end driver 13 is an electric push rod or a pneumatic cylinder. The inner upright 7 of the frame 1 is fixed to the connecting truss 3. The connecting truss 3 is used to enhance the structural stability of the frame 1. The upright 7, the top beam 16, and the support base 2 together form a frame structure.
[0024] Working principle: The driver 11 starts, driving the transmission roller 15 to rotate through the transmission assembly 14, conveying the sheet metal part to be processed onto the carrier frame 5; during the conveying process, the end driver 13 drives the push plate 12 to limit the end of the sheet metal part, ensuring that the sheet metal part accurately reaches the predetermined position; when the sheet metal part is conveyed to the position, the hinge adjustment rod 8 is activated. Since one end of the hinge adjustment rod 8 is hinged to the mounting side frame 6 through the hinge seat 4, and the other end of the cylinder hinge end 9 is hinged to the frame 1 or the support base 2, the extension and retraction of the hinge adjustment rod 8 will drive the mounting side... The mounting bracket 6 swings around the hinge seat 4, thereby adjusting the angle of the mounting side bracket 6 so that the side guide rail 22 and the workpiece positioning plate 23 mounted on the mounting side bracket 6 reach the appropriate position; then, the side slider 21 slides on the side guide rail 22, driving the workpiece positioning plate 23 to laterally limit the sheet metal parts in the bearing frame 5, ensuring the accurate horizontal position of the sheet metal parts; at this time, the sheet metal parts are precisely positioned on the bearing frame 5; subsequently, the pressing drive cylinder 17 on the top beam 16 is activated, and the push rod 18 of the pressing drive cylinder 17 extends downward. The pressure head mounting base 19 and the pressing plate 20 move downwards; the pressing plate 20 contacts the sheet metal parts inside the bearing frame 5 and applies a certain pressure, so that the edges of the sheet metal parts are overlapped; throughout the processing, the upright 7 on the inner side of the frame 1 and the connecting truss 3 are fixed to each other, which enhances the structural stability of the frame 1, while the frame structure formed by the upright 7, the top beam 16 and the supporting base 2 provides a stable support for the entire mechanism, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the processing; the supporting base 2 and the mounting base 10 form the bottom of the mechanism. The components provide the mounting base and support; after processing, the push rod 18 of the pressing drive cylinder 17 retracts upward, driving the pressing plate 20 away from the sheet metal part; the end driver 13 actuates again, driving the push plate 12 to push the processed sheet metal part out of the carrier frame 5, completing the entire overlapping edge processing process; through the coordinated work between the components, this mechanism realizes the automatic conveying, precise positioning and efficient pressing and overlapping of sheet metal parts, improves processing accuracy and efficiency, reduces labor intensity, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the requirements of different sheet metal parts, making it highly adaptable.
