Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal processing technology, specifically to a side positioning and clamping mechanism for sheet metal. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of sheet metal processing, in order to ensure processing accuracy, the sheet metal needs to be accurately positioned and firmly clamped. At present, the positioning and clamping of sheet metal is mostly done by applying pressure from the front or back of the sheet metal. However, this method has certain limitations in some specific processing scenarios.

[0003] For example, when fine processing of the front side of a sheet is required, the clamping mechanism that applies pressure from the front will occupy the processing space and interfere with the processing operation; when applying pressure from the back, it is easy to cause the sheet to bend and deform for some thinner sheets, affecting the processing quality; in addition, the existing side positioning clamping mechanisms are often complex in structure, inconvenient to adjust, and difficult to quickly adapt to sheets of different specifications and sizes, with poor versatility. Moreover, the clamping force of some mechanisms is not stable enough, and the sheet may loosen during processing, which not only affects the processing accuracy but also poses certain safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a side positioning and clamping mechanism for sheet metal to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a side positioning and clamping mechanism for a plate, including a placement plate 1, a cylinder 2 installed at the end of the placement plate 1, a slide plate 3 connected to the output end of the cylinder 2, an mounting plate 4 installed at the upper end of the slide plate 3, a bidirectional hydraulic rod 5 installed above the mounting plate 4, and an adjusting plate 6 connected to the output end of the bidirectional hydraulic rod 5.

[0025] Furthermore, the mounting plate 4 forms a sliding structure with the placement plate 1 through the sliding plate 3. The sliding plate 3 has an inverted "T" shape to ensure that the mounting plate 4 moves stably and prevents it from falling off the placement plate 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the adjusting plate 6 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the mounting plate 4. The adjusting plate 6 is symmetrically arranged about the longitudinal center line of the mounting plate 4, so that the position of the adjusting plate 6 can be flexibly adjusted and the adjusting plate 6 can be kept moving horizontally.

[0027] An extension rod 9 is connected to the lower end of the adjusting plate 6. A spring 10 is connected inside the extension rod 9. A slider 11 is connected to one end of the spring 10. A clamping plate 14 is installed at the lower end of the slider 11. A positioning rod 13 is connected to one side of the slider 11. A positioning hole 12 is opened on the inner wall of the extension rod 9.

[0028] Furthermore, there is a gap between the positioning rod 13 and the spring 10, and the positioning rod 13 and the positioning hole 12 engage with each other to ensure that the positioning rod 13 moves smoothly with the clamping plate 14 and to limit the moving distance of the clamping plate 14.

[0029] Furthermore, the clamping plate 14 forms a sliding structure with the extension rod 9 via the slider 11. The slider 11 has a "T" shaped structure, which allows the clamping plate 14 to move horizontally and prevents the clamping plate 14 from falling off.

[0030] Adjusting rod a7 and adjusting rod b8 are hinged to the sides of the adjusting plate 6, and the adjusting rod a7 and adjusting rod b8 are hinged to each other.

[0031] Furthermore, adjusting rods a7 and b8 are distributed between two adjacent adjusting plates 6, and both adjusting rods a7 and b8 are inclined, which can realize the linkage between the adjusting plates 6;

[0032] Specifically, when using the side positioning and clamping mechanism of this sheet material, the sheet material to be processed is placed in the middle of the placement plate 1. The cylinder 2 is opened, causing it to extend and push the slide plate 3 to slide within the placement plate 1, thereby driving the mounting plate 4 to move relative to it. This controls the clamping plate 14 to move closer to the end of the sheet material. The clamping plate 14, which is in contact with the end of the sheet material at its middle position, is pushed by the sheet material, causing the slider 11 mounted on the upper end of the clamping plate 14 to slide within the extension rod 9. At the same time, the slider 11 compresses and stores force on the spring 10, and drives the positioning rod 13 to move synchronously. As the mounting plate 4 moves relative to the end of the sheet material, the clamping plate 14, which is in contact with the end of the sheet material, gradually clamps one symmetrical end of the sheet material until the positioning rod 13 engages with the positioning hole 12. The clamping plate 14 at the middle position stably clamps the plate, while the clamping plate 14 at the other symmetrical end of the plate can be moved towards the middle position of the mounting plate 4 by opening and retracting the bidirectional hydraulic rod 5. The adjustment plate 6 drives the extension rod 9 installed at the lower end to move, thereby controlling the clamping plates 14 at both ends to move towards the other symmetrical end of the plate. When the adjustment plate 6 moves, the linkage between the two adjacent adjustment plates 6 can be realized through the movable adjustment rods a7 and b8, so that the clamping plates 14 are folded together until the clamping plate 14 closest to the end of the plate clamps the other symmetrical end of the plate. This flexibly adapts to the specifications and dimensions of the plate to achieve clamping and fixing, and improves its clamping and fixing stability.

[0033] Subsequently, simply control the cylinder 2 to retract, drive the slide plate 3 to move the mounting plate 4 away from each other, so that the spring 10 controls the slider 11 to reset and move, thereby controlling the clamping plate 14 to reset and move, gradually releasing the clamping on one symmetrical end of the plate, and control the bidirectional hydraulic rod 5 to extend and retract, pushing the adjusting plate 6 away from each other, thereby causing the clamping plate 14 to extend and release the clamping on the other symmetrical end of the plate, so that the plate can be removed. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] Although the present invention 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 the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
