Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal bending technology, specifically a sheet metal bending positioning structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the sheet metal processing industry, bending machines are often used to bend metal sheets. Bending is a process in which metal materials undergo elastic deformation and then plastic deformation under the pressure of the upper or lower die of the bending machine. The sheet metal bending positioning structure is a key module to ensure bending accuracy and improve processing efficiency. The positioning structure moves the forming die to the appropriate position before the subsequent bending operation of the sheet metal is carried out.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN212598419U, entitled "An Auxiliary Positioning Structure for Bending Sheet Metal Parts," includes a sheet metal part and a positioning member connected to the sheet metal part. The sheet metal part includes an inclined pre-bent portion. The positioning member has a positioning end, which is away from and parallel to the bending line on the pre-bent portion. The positioning member is integrally formed with the sheet metal part and extends outward from the edge of the sheet metal part near the pre-bent portion. The positioning member is detachably connected to the sheet metal part. The positioning member has at least one first positioning foot that abuts against the outer edge of the sheet metal part. The pre-bent portion has an auxiliary groove, and the positioning member also has a second positioning foot. The second positioning foot is positioned in the auxiliary groove and forms a snap-fit structure with the first positioning foot that engages with the edge of the sheet metal part. The pre-bent portion has an auxiliary groove.
[0004] While the existing technologies can achieve sheet metal bending, in practical use, it is difficult to close and position the mold. Since the mold is usually used to bend the sheet metal, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the position when manually adjusting the mold to close, thus reducing the bending accuracy of the sheet metal. On the other hand, it is difficult to detect the position of the mold. Different molds are usually required to process different sheet metal parts, which can easily lead to mold damage due to mold displacement. Therefore, it does not meet the current requirements. In response, we propose a sheet metal bending positioning structure. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sheet metal bending positioning structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the difficulty in closing and positioning the mold and the difficulty in detecting the position of the mold.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting seat is provided on the outer sleeve of the lead screw, the connecting seat slides and limits the drive cavity, and one end of the connecting seat extends to the outside of the drive cavity and is fixedly connected to the moving plate. Servo motors are fixedly provided on the front and rear ends of both sides of the outer side of the processing table, and the output shaft of the servo motor extends to the inside of the drive cavity and is fixedly connected to the lead screw.
[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the movable plate is provided with a first forming mold, and the front and rear ends of the first forming mold are fixedly provided with fixing seats. The interior of the fixing seats and the interior of the front and rear ends of the movable plate are provided with threaded holes, and the threaded holes on the fixing seats correspond to the threaded holes on the movable plate.
[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the fixing seat is provided with a bolt, and the lower end of the bolt extends into the interior of the moving plate through a threaded hole.
[0010] Preferably, three positioning rods are provided on the outside of the first molding mold located on one side of the processing table, and the positioning rods are distributed at equal intervals. Three positioning holes are provided inside the first molding mold located on the other side of the processing table, and the positioning holes correspond to the positions of the positioning rods.
[0011] Preferably, a fixed frame is fixedly installed at the center of the upper end of the processing table, and hydraulic telescopic devices are fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the upper end of the fixed frame.

[0012] Preferably, support rods are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower end of the processing table.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) This utility model can position the first molding mold by means of a servo motor and a scale line. Before the first molding mold is assembled, the first molding mold has been fixed. At this time, the servo motor is turned on, and the output shaft of the servo motor drives the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw drives the connecting seat to move inside the drive cavity. At the same time, the moving plate fixedly connected to the connecting seat moves together. During the movement of the first molding mold, the moving plate slides on the limit strip. At the same time, the scale line on the limit strip is always parallel to the side of the moving plate until the moving plate and the first molding mold are moved to a suitable position. At this time, the operator observes the position of the moving plate on the corresponding scale line, thereby improving the accuracy of the mold movement.
[0015] (2) This utility model can detect the position of the first molding die through the positioning hole and the positioning rod. When the first molding die is spliced, the first molding dies on both sides have been moved to the appropriate position. If the positions of the first molding dies on both sides correspond, the positioning rod on one side of the first molding die will enter the interior of the positioning hole on the other side of the first molding die, and continue to move the first molding dies on both sides until the first molding dies on both sides fit together. Then the subsequent sheet metal operation is carried out. If the positions of the first molding dies on both sides do not correspond, the positioning rod on one side of the first molding die will abut against the other side of the first molding die, thereby improving the position accuracy of the die.
[0016] (3) The present invention can disassemble and assemble the first molding mold through the threaded hole and the bolt. When the first molding mold needs to be replaced, the operator rotates the bolt so that the bolt moves upward through the threaded hole until the bolt is separated from the threaded hole. At this time, the new first molding mold is placed on the moving plate, and the threaded hole on the fixed seat corresponds to the threaded hole on the moving plate. Then the bolt is aligned with the opening of the threaded hole and inserted into the threaded hole. The bolt is rotated so that the bolt moves into the threaded hole through the thread until the thread is moved to the appropriate position, thus completing the fixing of the new first molding mold, thereby improving the flexibility of mold replacement.

The movable plates 9 slide and limit the limiting strip 12, and the movable plates 9 are parallel to the scale line 13. A connecting seat 8 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 7. The connecting seat 8 slides and limits the driving cavity 6, and one end of the connecting seat 8 extends to the outside of the driving cavity 6 and is fixedly connected to the movable plate 9. Servo motors 10 are fixedly provided at the front and rear ends of both sides of the outside of the processing table 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 10 extends into the inside of the driving cavity 6 and is fixedly connected to the lead screw 7, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the first forming mold 11 by means of the lead screw 7.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The upper end of the movable plate 9 is provided with a first forming mold 11. The front and rear ends of the first forming mold 11 are fixedly provided with fixing seats 14. The interior of the fixing seats 14 and the interior of the front and rear ends of the movable plate 9 are provided with threaded holes 19. The threaded holes 19 on the fixing seats 14 correspond to the threaded holes 19 on the movable plate 9. The upper end of the fixing seat 14 is provided with a bolt 15.
