Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model discloses a fixture for thin metal processing, which relates to the field of thin metal processing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Thin metal processing refers to the processing of thin metal materials (typically ranging from a few micrometers to a few millimeters in thickness). Thin metals are widely used in many fields, including electronics, automotive, aerospace, and medical devices. In these fields, thin metals are often used to manufacture precision components and structural parts, offering advantages such as lightweight, high strength, and good electrical conductivity. Thin metal materials can be processed using shearing or cutting methods. Shearing uses mechanical force to break the metal sheet, while cutting removes metal using a cutting tool. This processing method is applicable to most thin metal materials. Thin metal processing is a high-precision, high-requirement technology suitable for many fields requiring precise and lightweight designs.
[0003] In cutting, due to the thinness and deformability of thin metal materials, they are prone to deformation due to uneven stress during the machining process. The fragility of thin metals and the deformation problems that may occur during the machining process necessitate the provision of a fixture for machining thin metals to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a clamp for thin metal processing, which can stably clamp thin metal materials during cutting and prevent the cutting edge from deforming and affecting the processing accuracy.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fixture for thin metal processing, comprising a cutting machine assembly, characterized in that: a cutting disc is installed inside the cutting machine assembly, a feeding carriage is provided on the cutting machine assembly, and a flattening mechanism is provided on the feeding carriage; the feeding carriage includes a base plate, a connecting block is provided on the side of the base plate, and a worktable is provided on the base plate for placing thin metal materials; the flattening mechanism includes a housing, a spring is installed below the housing, a pressure plate is provided below the spring, and a fixing lock is installed on the side of the housing.
[0006] Preferably, the locking buckle is provided with a latch, the locking buckle is provided with a wrench, a retaining ring is rotatably installed on the wrench, and a pressure block is provided inside the wrench.
[0007] Preferably, the connecting block is rotatably connected to the outer casing.
[0008] Preferably, there are two sets of flattening mechanisms, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cutting disc.
[0009] Preferably, the spring is provided with several sets to increase the holding force.
[0010] Preferably, the bayonet is mounted on the outer casing, and the wrench is rotated and mounted on the base plate.
[0011] Preferably, the front end of the bayonet is provided with a semi-circular buckle.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By placing the thin metal material on the worktable in the feeding cart, and because the connecting block is rotatably connected to one side of the outer shell, the operator can rotate the outer shell from one side to bring it closer to the thin metal material for pressing. When the bottom surface of the pressure plate contacts the upper surface of the thin metal material, it continues to press downward, causing the spring to compress and the pressure plate to move upward until the lower surface of the pressure plate is completely in contact with the upper surface of the thin metal material. The spring provides a downward elastic pressing force for pressing, making the pressing more stable. Then, by moving the wrench in the locking buckle to be close to the base plate, the buckle pulls the latch, and the pressure block presses the buckle to achieve fixation. This achieves stable clamping of the thin metal material during cutting, preventing deformation of the cutting edge during cutting and affecting the processing accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Specific implementation examples:
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a fixture for thin metal processing includes a cutting machine assembly 1, a cutting disc (not shown in the figure) installed inside the cutting machine assembly 1, a feeding carriage 2 on the cutting machine assembly 1, and a flattening mechanism 3 on the feeding carriage 2.
[0020] The cutting machine as a whole is existing technology, and it is equipped with cutting components such as the cutting machine. The specific working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0021] During the overall processing, the operator places the thin metal material on the feeding trolley 2, then manually flattens and fixes the thin metal material through the flattening mechanism 3, and finally the cutting machine 1 cuts the thin metal material.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the feeding cart 2 includes a base plate 21, a connecting block 22 is provided on the side of the base plate 21, and a workbench (not shown in the figure) is provided on the base plate 21 for placing thin metal materials;
[0023] The flattening mechanism 3 includes a housing 31, a spring 33 is installed below the housing 31, a pressure plate 34 is provided below the spring 33, and a fixing buckle 32 is installed on the side of the housing 31;
[0024] The connecting block 22 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 31;
[0025] The principle by which the flattening mechanism 3 flattens thin metal materials is as follows:
[0026] The operator places the thin metal material on the workbench in the feeding trolley 2. Because the connecting block 22 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer shell 31, the operator can rotate the outer shell 31 from one side to bring it closer to the thin metal material. When the bottom surface of the pressure plate 34 contacts the upper surface of the thin metal material, it continues to press downward, causing the spring 33 to compress and the pressure plate 34 to move upward until the lower surface of the pressure plate 34 is completely in contact with the upper surface of the thin metal material. The spring 33 provides a downward elastic pressing force for its pressing, making the pressing more stable.
[0027] After the flattening mechanism 3 flattens and clamps the thin metal material, it needs to be fixed to ensure the stability of the pressing. Therefore, the outer shell 31 is provided with a fixing buckle 32.
[0028] The fixed latch 32 is provided with a bayonet 321, the fixed latch 32 is provided with a wrench 322, a retaining ring 324 is rotatably installed on the wrench 322, and a pressure block 323 is provided inside the wrench 322;
[0029] The bayonet 321 is mounted on the housing 31, and the wrench 322 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 21;
[0030] The front end of the bayonet 321 is provided with a semi-circular buckle (not shown in the figure);
[0031] In actual operation, the flattening mechanism 3 has already pressed the thin metal material. The operator moves the wrench 322 upward, so that the retaining ring 324 is placed in the buckle in the bayonet 321. Then, the operator moves the wrench 322 downward. The rotational connection between the wrench 322 and the base plate 21 is located below the connection between the wrench 322 and the retaining ring 324. Therefore, when the wrench 322 is rotated downward, the retaining ring 324 rotates eccentrically and moves downward by a certain distance to tighten the bayonet 321. The wrench 322 has a pressure groove (not shown in the figure) inside. The pressure groove can hold the pressure block 323, so that the pressure block 323 will press the retaining ring 324 as the wrench 322 rotates. When the wrench 322 moves to be close to the base plate 21, the retaining ring 324 tightens the bayonet 321, and the pressure block 323 presses the retaining ring 324 to achieve fixation.
[0032] After the locking buckle 32 fixes the flattening mechanism 3, the spring 33 will also be slightly adjusted to enhance the holding force in the flattening mechanism 3.
[0033] Two sets of the flattening mechanism 3 are provided, and the flattening mechanism 3 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cutting disc;
[0034] The two sets of flattening mechanisms 3 can fix the two ends of the thin metal material respectively, so that the cut surface of the thin metal material is not easily deformed during cutting;
[0035] The spring 33 is provided with several sets to increase the holding force;
[0036] In summary, by placing the thin metal material on the worktable in the feeding trolley 2, and because the connecting block 22 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer casing 31, the operator can rotate the outer casing 31 from one side to bring it closer to the thin metal material for pressing. When the bottom surface of the pressure plate 34 contacts the upper surface of the thin metal material, it continues to press downward, causing the spring 33 to compress and the pressure plate 34 to move upward until the lower surface of the pressure plate 34 is completely in contact with the upper surface of the thin metal material. The spring 33 provides a downward elastic pressing force for pressing, making the pressing more stable. Subsequently, when the wrench 322 in the locking buckle 32 moves to be close to the base plate 21, the buckle 324 pulls the latch 321, and the pressure block 323 presses the buckle 324 to achieve fixation. This achieves stable clamping of the thin metal material during cutting, preventing deformation of the cutting edge during cutting and affecting the processing accuracy.
