[0015] In one possible implementation, a positioning plate for positioning the sheet metal base is fixed on one side of the placement plate and the placement slot.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. This utility model, through the arc design of the first push plate, the second push plate, the third push plate and the fourth push plate, enables the first push plate and the second push plate to drive the clamping claw to grip the sheet metal part to be processed when inserted into the support base. At the same time as gripping, due to the presence of the first roller, the metal sheet of the main body of the sheet metal part, which was originally bent, is straightened (the metal sheet changes from horizontal bending to vertical setting). Then, as the third push plate and the fourth push plate continue to be inserted into the support base, they push the pressure roller to bend the metal sheet of the main body of the sheet metal part towards each other and fix it to the upper end of the second body of the sheet metal part, so that the first body and the second body of the sheet metal part form a whole.
[0018] 2. During the continuous pushing process of the first, second, third, and fourth push plates, the lower pressure plate one on the upper mold first presses the main body two into the main body three. At the same time, the roller one straightens the metal sheet of the main body one of the sheet metal part, which was originally bent. Then, as the upper mold continues to move down, the push roller has bent the metal sheet of the main body one of the sheet metal part towards each other and fixed it to the upper end of the main body two of the sheet metal part. The lower pressure plate two and the lower pressure plate three come into contact with the bent metal sheet and make the bent part of the metal sheet fit tightly with the upper end of the main body two of the sheet metal part.

[0033] As described in the background section, the sheet metal stamping and bending fixture disclosed in this embodiment is particularly suitable for the stamping and bending operation of the front-mounted bracket of an automobile engine.
[0034] See Figures 1-10 The tooling in this embodiment includes an upper mold 4 that can move up and down and a fixed lower mold 5. A pair of clamping claws 14 and a pair of push rollers arranged symmetrically on both sides of the center line of the lower mold 5 are used to clamp the parts to be processed, and the push rollers are used to push and bend the sheet metal parts to be bent.
[0035] See the figure for details. Figures 4-7 Each pair of gripping claws 14 has one end of a first spring 16 horizontally connected to both opposite ends of the pair of gripping claws 14. The other end of the first spring 16 is connected to a support seat 10 on the lower mold 5 for the gripping claws 14 to be pushed out and reset. The sides of the two opposite ends of the pair of push rollers have one end of a second spring 23 fixed along the push roller stroke direction. The other end of the second spring 23 is fixed to a support seat 10 on the lower mold 5 for the push rollers to be pushed out and reset.
[0036] See also Figures 4-7 A pair of support seats 10 are symmetrically arranged on the lower mold 5 with the center line as the axis of symmetry. The side wall of the support seat 10 is provided with a strip hole 36. A connecting rod 35 is fixed on both sides of a pair of clamping claws 14. The connecting rod 35 passes through the strip hole 36 and the part of the connecting rod 35 that extends out of the strip hole 36 is fitted with a roller 21. A pair of push rollers are symmetrically fixed in the pair of support seats 10, and a roller 22 is fixed at the opposite end of the pair of push rollers.
[0037] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 Each push roller includes a fixed seat 17. A roller 15 is installed at the first end of the fixed seat 17. A receiving space is recessed at the second end of the fixed seat 17. A first push rod 18 is fixed at the bottom of the receiving space. A second push rod 19 is fixed at the end of the first push rod 18 away from the roller 15. A movable block 20 is fixed at the end of the movable block 20 away from the roller 15. The end of the movable block 20 that fixes the second push rod 19 is limited within the receiving space and can slide left and right along the receiving space. A roller 22 is fixed at the end of the movable block 20 away from the second push rod 19. The fixed seat 17 is fixed to the support seat 10 by bolts, and one end of a second spring 23 is fixed to the side of the fixed seat 17.
[0038] See Figures 8-10The lower surface of the upper mold 4 is provided with a first push plate 29 and a second push plate 30 that can be inserted into the support base 10 to push the clamping claw 14 to move, and a third push plate 31 and a fourth push plate 32 that push the pressure roller to move. The first push plate 29, the second push plate 30, the third push plate 31 and the fourth push plate 32 are arranged in an arc shape facing the clamping claw 14 and the pressure roller, and the arc shape meets the movement stroke requirements of pushing the clamping claw 14 and the pressure roller. Preferably, the first push plate 29 and the second push plate 30 are arranged in a mirror symmetrical arrangement along the center line of the lower mold 5, and the third push plate 31 and the fourth push plate 32 are arranged in a mirror symmetrical arrangement along the center line of the lower mold 5. At the same time, the lower surface of the lower mold 5 is also provided with a fifth push plate 33 and a sixth push plate 34. The fifth push plate 33 has the same shape as the first push plate 29 and is located on both sides of the third push plate 31, and the sixth push plate 34 has the same shape as the second push plate 30 and is located on both sides of the fourth push plate 32.
[0039] In order to press the main body 2 of the front-mounted engine bracket into the main body 3, a movable plate 25 is fixed to the lower surface of the upper mold 4 via an electric telescopic cylinder 24. A lower pressure plate 26 is fixed at the center of the movable plate 25. Lower pressure plates 27 and 3 are movably arranged on both sides of the lower pressure plate 26, respectively. The lower pressure plates 27 and 3 are mirror-symmetrically arranged with the lower pressure plate 26 as the plane of symmetry. See also... Figure 5 A limit switch that responds to the movement of the upper mold 4 is fixed on the support base 10.
[0040] For details, see Figure 6 The lower mold 5 has a sheet metal part placement groove 11 at its center, and a positioning plate 7 for positioning the sheet metal part base is fixed to one side of the placement groove 11. Furthermore, a placement plate 6 is provided on the lower mold 5, with a recessed center forming the placement groove 11. The placement plate 6 is fixed to the bottom plate of the lower mold 5 by a third spring 9. A manual wrench 8 for easily prying up the placement plate 6 is also provided on the bottom plate of the lower mold 5, and a guide post is fixed to the placement plate 6. When the manual wrench 8 pries up the placement plate 6, the placement plate 6 moves upward under the guidance of the guide post. A column 13 can also be provided on the placement plate 6, which is used to lift the main body of the front engine mount, raising the front engine mount from the placement groove 11.
[0041] The working process of the tooling in this embodiment is as follows: First, the main body 3 of the front-mounted bracket of the automobile engine is placed into the placement slot 11. Then, the main body 1 and the main body 2 are placed on top of the main body 3. Then, the limit switch is activated, so that the upper mold 4 moves slowly downward. The lower pressure plate 26 on the upper mold 4 first presses the main body 2 into the main body 3. At the same time, the roller 15 straightens the metal sheet of the main body 1 of the sheet metal part, which was originally bent. Because of the arc design of the first push plate 29, the second push plate 30, the third push plate 31, the fourth push plate 32, the fifth push plate 33 and the sixth push plate 34 firstly squeeze the roller 21 when the first push plate 29, the second push plate 30, the fifth push plate 33 and the sixth push plate 34 are inserted into the support seat 10, thereby pushing the clamping claw 14 towards the middle and driving the clamping claw 14 to fix the sheet metal part to be processed. While the clamping claw 14 fixes the sheet metal part, the presence of roller 15 straightens the originally bent metal sheet of the main body of the sheet metal part (the metal sheet changes from being horizontally bent to being vertically set). Then, as the third push plate 31 and the fourth push plate 32 continue to be inserted into the support base 10, the third push plate 31 and the fourth push plate 32 squeeze the roller 22, pushing the pressure roller towards the center. The pushing pressure roller bends the metal sheet of the main body of the sheet metal part 1 towards each other and fixes it to the upper end of the main body of the sheet metal part 2, so that the main body of the sheet metal part 1 and the main body of the sheet metal part 2 form a whole. During the continuous pushing of the third push plate 31 and the fourth push plate 32, as the upper mold 4 continues to move downwards, the pressure rollers have bent the metal sheet of the sheet metal body 1 towards each other and fixed it to the upper end of the sheet metal body 2. Due to the concave design of the middle of the third push plate 31 and the fourth push plate 32, the pressure rollers are reset under the action of the second spring 23 when the upper mold 4 continues to move downwards. At this time, the lower pressure plate 27 and the lower pressure plate 38 can just contact the bent metal sheet, making the bent part of the metal sheet fit tightly against the upper end of the sheet metal body 2. Then the limit switch is triggered, the upper mold 4 begins to move upwards, and we can operate the manual wrench 8 to take out the processed sheet metal and place it in the slot 11.
[0042] The above explanation uses the front-mounted bracket of an automobile engine as an example of sheet metal parts. However, when the sheet metal parts are other components, the requirements for stamping and bending can also be met by reasonably designing the curvature of the first push plate 29, the second push plate 30, the third push plate 31, the fourth push plate 32, the fifth push plate 33 and the sixth push plate 34.
[0043] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
