[0002] The film capacitors on the circuit board require both bending and trimming of the leads as needed. These two steps are necessary: ​​bending the leads requires a special bending fixture, and if the bent leads are too long, they must be manually trimmed to the required length using unbending pliers. The current operating method presents the following problems:

[0003] a. The work process is divided into two steps, which is too complicated and inefficient.

[0004] b. Manual trimming carries the risk of omissions.

[0005] c. During the lead cutting process, splashed material from the leads also poses a safety hazard, as it may splash into people's eyes. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automated shaping mechanism that can simultaneously perform folding and corner trimming. It utilizes the shape of the shaping block to precisely position, bend, and shape the pins of a product, while a cutter trims the bent pins to the required length. This achieves both folding and trimming functions, improving production efficiency and greatly facilitating production and use.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts an automated shaping mechanism that can simultaneously perform foot bending and corner trimming, comprising: a machine base, a limiting carrier mounted on the machine base for fixing the product, a corner trimming mechanism mounted on the machine base on one side of the limiting carrier, and a bending mechanism mounted on the machine base on the other side of the limiting carrier. The bending mechanism and the corner trimming mechanism work together to bend and trim one side of the pin of the product. The limiting carrier includes a first clamp and a second clamp symmetrically mounted on the machine base. The first clamp and the second clamp together form a cavity for clamping the head of the product, and a product ejection mechanism is provided inside the cavity.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the product ejection mechanism includes a spring piece fixed between a first clamp and a second clamp via a support shaft, the upper end of the spring piece extending into the cavity and having an ejection post.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first clamp and the second clamp are fixedly mounted on the machine base by screws.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the corner-cutting mechanism includes a first pneumatic cylinder mounted on the machine base and a cutter mounted on the power output end of the first pneumatic cylinder. The first pneumatic cylinder drives the cutter to cut and shape the pin of the product extending out of the cavity.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bending mechanism includes a second pneumatic cylinder mounted on a machine base, a pushing block mounted on the power output end of the second pneumatic cylinder, and a shaping block mounted on the front end of the pushing block.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the front end of the push block extends forward to form a push rod, and the shaping block is disposed on the push rod and located between the two pins of the product.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the shaping block has a triangular structure.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer cover of the limiting carrier is provided with a transparent protective cover.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the transparent protective cover is made of acrylic material.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a waste recycling drawer is also provided inside the machine.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the shape of the shaping block is used to accurately position, bend and shape the pins of the product, while the cutter can cut the bent pins to the required length, thus realizing the dual functions of bending and cutting pins and improving production efficiency. In addition, the transparent acrylic protective cover can prevent the cut pins from splashing, thus improving safety performance. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 2 This is a top view of the present invention;

[0021] Figure 3 for Figure 2 Enlarged view of a local part of the structure. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses an automated shaping mechanism that can simultaneously perform foot bending and corner trimming. It includes: a machine base 1, a limiting carrier 2 set on the machine base for fixing the product, a corner trimming mechanism set on the machine base on one side of the limiting carrier, and a bending mechanism set on the machine base on the other side of the limiting carrier. The bending mechanism and the corner trimming mechanism work together to simultaneously bend and trim the pin on one side of the product, thus realizing the operational requirements of both foot bending and corner trimming and improving production efficiency.

[0024] Specifically, the limiting carrier includes a first clamp 3 and a second clamp 4 symmetrically arranged on the machine base. The first clamp and the second clamp together form a cavity 5 for clamping the head of the product. A product ejection mechanism is provided inside the cavity. The corner cutting mechanism includes a first pneumatic cylinder 6 arranged on the machine base and a cutter 7 arranged on the power output end of the first pneumatic cylinder. The first pneumatic cylinder drives the cutter to cut and shape the pins on one side of the product that protrude from the cavity. The bending mechanism includes a second pneumatic cylinder 8 arranged on the machine base, a push block 9 arranged on the power output end of the second pneumatic cylinder, and a shaping block 10 arranged on the front end of the push block. Specifically, the front end of the push block extends forward to form a push rod. The shaping block is arranged on the push rod and located between the two pins of the product. During operation, the operator puts the head of the capacitor product 11 into the cavity, with the two pins protruding from the cavity. While the first pneumatic cylinder drives the cutter to cut off the excess section of one side of the pin, the second pneumatic cylinder works at the same time to bend the pin after the excess section has been cut off.

[0025] Specifically, the shaping block has a triangular structure. Preferably, the end that contacts the pin is processed into a rounded corner structure. The shape of the shaping block is used to precisely bend and shape one side of the pin of the product, reducing the two-step operation of bending and cutting the pin to one step, avoiding the risk of omission by the operator.

[0026] Specifically, the product ejection mechanism includes a spring piece 12 fixed between the first clamp and the second clamp via a support shaft. The upper end of the spring piece extends into the cavity and is provided with an ejection post 13. After the product pin is shaped, the upper end of the spring piece can be lifted by pressing the lower end of the spring piece so that the ejection post contacts the product, thereby ejecting the product from the cavity for easy removal.

[0027] Specifically, the outer cover of the limiting carrier is equipped with a transparent protective cover made of acrylic material, which facilitates observation and avoids the safety hazard of the cut product pins splashing.

[0028] Specifically, the machine is also equipped with a waste recycling drawer 14, which can recycle the cut-off waste.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the shape of the shaping block is used to accurately position, bend and shape the pins of the product, while the cutter can cut the bent pins to the required length, thus realizing the dual functions of bending and cutting pins and improving production efficiency. In addition, the transparent acrylic protective cover can prevent the cut pins from splashing, thus improving safety performance.

[0030] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
