Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shell shaping technology, specifically relating to a device for shaping the edge of a laptop shell. Background Technology

[0002] Laptop casings are now being designed as unibody structures, and aluminum alloy is being used to reduce weight. After the blank is initially formed by the mold, the edges need to be further refined. The refining process includes precision pressing and polishing. Precision pressing is to readjust some of the deformation caused by the initial forming to ensure the quality of the casing and to ensure the curvature of the bent parts. Polishing is used to smooth the end face of the casing.

[0003] The existing method requires two machines: a pressing machine for precision pressing and a grinding machine for polishing. The operation of these two machines is not convenient or efficient. In addition, grinding with a traditional grinding machine requires manual operation, resulting in poor consistency and flatness. Alternatively, a surface polishing machine can be used, but the equipment purchase and maintenance costs are high, which is not conducive to small-batch production.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a device for shaping the edge of a notebook casing. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a notebook shell edge shaping device, which improves shaping convenience and ensures shaping consistency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a notebook shell edge shaping device, including a base, a support frame on the base, a protective cover on the support frame, and support feet at the lower ends of the base and the support frame. An upper shaping mold and a lower shaping mold for shell shaping are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the inner side of the support frame. The upper and lower shaping molds shape the shell by pressing it together. A polishing component for polishing the shell in the shaping state is slidably provided on the base via a translation mechanism. A driving mechanism for rotating the shell during polishing is installed between the support frame and the protective cover.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper end of the support frame is rotatably connected to a rotating seat, the upper end of the upper shaping mold is fixed with a guide rod that slides in the rotating seat, and the upper end of the rotating seat is fixed with a shaping cylinder whose output end is fixed to the upper shaping mold.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism further includes a driving rod that rotates within the protective cover. The upper and lower ends of the driving rod are each fixed with a driving gear that meshes with two driven gears. A driving motor that drives the driving rod is fixed outside the protective cover.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the grinding component includes a base and a support platform fixed on the base. A transmission box is fixed on the support platform, a grinding disc is connected to the other side of the lower end of the transmission box, and a grinding motor is installed on the upper end of the transmission box.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the translation mechanism includes a slide rail fixed on the base and a slide block sliding on the slide rail.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a notebook shell edge shaping device, including a base 1, a support frame 11 fixed on one side of the upper end of the base 1 by welding or bolts, a C-shaped protective cover 12 fixed on the support frame 11 by welding or bolts, and a support leg 13 fixed on the lower end of the base 1 and the support frame 11 by welding or bolts, with multiple support legs 13 to ensure the support effect of the shaping device.

[0024] Specifically, the upper and lower ends of the inner side of the support frame 11 are respectively provided with an upper shaping mold 3 and a lower shaping mold 2 for shaping the outer shell 8. The upper shaping mold 3 matches the inner contour of the outer shell 8, and the lower shaping mold 2 matches the outer contour of the outer shell 8. When the two press the outer shell 8 together, the shaping purpose is achieved.

[0025] A grinding component 6 for grinding the outer shell 8 in a shaping state is slidably provided on the base 1 via a translation mechanism 7. The grinding component 6 includes a base 61 and a support platform 62 fixed on the base 61. A transmission box 63 is fixed on the support platform 62. A grinding disc 64 is connected to the other side of the lower end of the transmission box 63. A grinding motor 65 is installed on the upper end of the transmission box 63. In this embodiment, the support platform 62, the base 61, and the transmission box 63 are fixed together by bolts to ensure the levelness of the transmission box 63. A gear transmission component is provided inside the transmission box 63 to transmit the output power of the grinding motor 65 to the grinding disc 64. The grinding disc 64 is an ordinary grinding disc that can grind both the side and the bottom surface and is connected in a detachable manner. The output end of the drive motor 54 passes through the protective cover 12 and is fixed to one end of the drive rod 51.

[0026] Furthermore, the translation mechanism 7 includes a slide rail 71 fixed on the base 1 and a slide block 72 sliding on the slide rail 71. The upper end of the slide block 72 is fixedly installed on the base 61. A translation cylinder 73 is installed on the base 1, and the output end of the translation cylinder 73 is fixed to the bottom of the base 61. In this embodiment, the slide rail 71 and the slide block 72 are provided in two symmetrical sets to ensure the sliding reliability of the grinding component 6. The translation cylinder 73 is fixed to the base 1 by bolts, and the output end is fixed to the bottom of the base 61 by bolts. The extension and retraction of the translation cylinder 73 drives the grinding component 6 to translate, thereby switching between the grinding station and the avoidance station. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The grinding component 6 is located in the clearance station. Figure 3 The grinding component 6 is located at the grinding station.

[0027] Specifically, a rotating seat 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support frame 11, and a guide rod 31 that slides in the rotating seat 4 is fixed to the upper end of the upper shaping mold 3. A shaping cylinder 32 with its output end fixed to the upper shaping mold 3 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating seat 4. In this embodiment, the rotating seat 4 can not only support the lifting and lowering of the upper shaping mold 3, but also drive the upper shaping mold 3 to rotate synchronously under the drive of the drive mechanism 5. A linear bearing can be used at the sliding connection between the rotating seat 4 and the guide rod 31 to ensure smooth lifting and lowering.

[0028] Furthermore, a gear ring 41 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating seat 4, and a gear disk 21 rotatably connected to the lower end of the support frame 11 is fixed to the lower end of the lower shaping mold 2. The driving mechanism 5 includes two driven gears 53 rotatably installed between the support frame 11 and the protective cover 12. The two driven gears 53 mesh with the gear disk 21 and the gear ring 41 respectively. In this embodiment, the lower shaping mold 2 and the rotating seat 4 are connected to the support frame 11 by bearings to ensure rotational flexibility. The gear disk 21 and the gear ring 41 used for transmission are coaxial, and the two driven gears 53 are also coaxial. When the driving mechanism 5 is started, it drives the lower shaping mold 2 and the upper shaping mold 3 and the outer shell 8 pressed by them to rotate synchronously.

[0029] Specifically, a drive mechanism 5 for rotating the housing 8 during grinding is installed between the support frame 11 and the protective cover 12. The drive mechanism 5 also includes a drive rod 51 rotating in the protective cover 12. The upper and lower ends of the drive rod 51 are fixed with drive gears 52 that mesh with two driven gears 53 respectively. A drive motor 54 for driving the drive rod 51 is fixed outside the protective cover 12. In this embodiment, the drive motor 54 outputs power to the drive rod 51, and then transmits the power through the two drive gears 52 to achieve synchronous rotation of the lower shaping mold 2 and the upper shaping mold 3, ensuring the stability of the housing 8 during grinding.

[0030] Specifically, the height of the lower forming mold 2 and the upper forming mold 3 after pressing is lower than the height of the top surface of the outer shell 8. The transmission box 63 contacts the top surface of the outer shell 8 to achieve polishing. In this embodiment, after the lower forming mold 2 and the upper forming mold 3 press the outer shell 8 together, the protruding part of the outer shell 8 does not affect the polishing work of the polishing component 6 entering from the side. Then, under the drive of the drive mechanism 5, the entire upper surface of the outer shell 8 can be polished flat during pressing and shaping to ensure product quality.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the outer shell 8 is first placed from the side between the lower forming mold 2 and the upper forming mold 3, and then placed downward in the lower forming mold 2. 42 drives the upper forming mold 3 to move downward, and the guide rod 31 slides downward in the rotating seat 4 until the upper forming mold 3 and the lower forming mold 2 press the outer shell 8 together. At this time, the forming work is completed. In this state, the top of the outer shell 8 protrudes upward, and this protruding part is used for polishing.

[0032] The translation cylinder 73 drives the slide block 72 and the grinding component 6 to move on the slide rail 71. At the same time, the grinding motor 65 works and drives the grinding disc 64 to rotate at high speed through the transmission box 63. The front end of the grinding disc 64 contacts the top surface of the outer shell 8 for grinding. The translation cylinder 73 stops, and the drive motor 54 drives two drive gears 52 through the drive rod 51. The two drive gears 52 mesh with the driven gear 53 at the same time. The upper driven gear 53 drives the rotating seat 4 and the upper shaping mold 3 to rotate through meshing with the gear ring 41. The lower driven gear 53 drives the lower shaping mold 2 to rotate through meshing with the gear disk 21. After the lower shaping mold 2 and the upper shaping mold 3 rotate, they drive the outer shell 8 to rotate. The rotating grinding disc 64 grinds the entire upper surface of the outer shell 8 to a smooth surface.

[0033] After grinding is completed, the translation mechanism 7 drives the grinding component 6 to move in the opposite direction, the grinding component 6 stops working, the shaping cylinder 32 drives the upper shaping mold 3 to move upward, and the shaped shell 8 is taken out from the lower shaping mold 2. Repeating the above steps can achieve continuous shaping.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
