Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sheet metal bending devices, and in particular to an automatic bending device for automotive sheet metal parts. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive sheet metal parts are a major component of a car body, encompassing numerous parts such as the body shell, doors, hood, trunk lid, and fenders. In the manufacturing process of automotive sheet metal parts, the folding process is a crucial step. The quality of the folding directly affects the appearance quality and assembly precision of the sheet metal parts.

[0003] Currently, among existing folding devices, such as the patent with announcement number CN217941489U, this utility model discloses an automatic folding device for automotive sheet metal parts, including a support plate, a folding mechanism, a fixed frame, and clamping components. The support plate is located at the lower end of the inner wall of the fixed frame, the folding mechanism is located at the lower end of the upper inner wall of the fixed frame, and the clamping components are evenly distributed on the support plate and are symmetrically arranged.

[0004] However, it has been found in the use of existing folding devices that they are not very convenient for automatic material conveying, requiring manual loading and unloading operations, which increases labor intensity and reduces work efficiency and ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic folding device for automotive sheet metal parts that improves the convenience of automatic loading and unloading of sheet metal parts, increases work efficiency, and reduces the labor intensity of personnel.

[0006] This utility model discloses an automatic bending device for automotive sheet metal parts, comprising a base and a lower bending die, the lower bending die being mounted on the top of the base; it also includes a support device, a drive device, a push device, an upper bending die, a housing, and a support plate. The upper bending die is mounted on the support device, which drives the upper bending die to move up and down. The housing is located on the side of the base, and the top of the housing is flush with the top of the lower bending die. The support plate is slidably mounted inside the housing via the drive device. The push device is located on the housing and is used to push and convey the sheet metal parts. The sheet metal parts to be bent are stacked on the top of the support plate inside the housing, and driven by the drive device... The moving support plate moves upward, causing the stacked sheet metal parts to be conveyed upward. After the top sheet metal part moves out of the top of the box, the pushing device pushes the top sheet metal part towards the lower folding mold, thus moving it between the lower folding mold and the upper folding mold. Then, the support device drives the upper folding mold to move downward, so that the upper folding mold and the lower folding mold cooperate to fold the sheet metal part. After the sheet metal part is folded, the pushing device continues to push it to unload it. Then, the drive device drives the support plate to move upward one station, so that the next sheet metal part enters the pushing position for conveying and processing, improving the convenience of automatic loading and unloading of sheet metal parts and improving work efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the driving device includes a support base, lead screws, a first motor, a first pulley, a second pulley, and belts. The support base is located at the bottom of the housing. Two sets of lead screws are rotatably mounted on the housing and the support base. A support plate is screwed onto the two sets of lead screws. The first motor is mounted on the outer wall of the support base. The first pulley is located on the output end of the first motor. Two sets of second pulleys are respectively mounted on the two sets of lead screws. Two belts are respectively fitted between the two sets of second pulleys and the first pulley. The first motor drives the first pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the two sets of lead screws to rotate via the two sets of second pulleys and the two sets of belts. This causes the two sets of lead screws to drive the support plate to move up and down, improving the convenience of conveying sheet metal parts by the support plate.

[0008] Preferably, the pushing device includes a guide seat, a cross arm, a rack, a gear, and a second motor. The guide seat is installed on the outer wall of the housing, the cross arm is slidably installed on the guide seat, the rack is set on the cross arm, the gear is rotatably installed on the guide seat and meshes with the rack, and the second motor is installed on the guide seat and connected to the gear. The second motor drives the gear to rotate, so that the gear drives the cross arm to slide through meshing with the rack, thereby pushing the uppermost sheet metal part to move and be conveyed.

[0009] Preferably, the support device includes a lifting frame and a cylinder. The lifting frame is mounted on the base, and the cylinder is mounted on the top of the lifting frame. The upper folding mold is slidably mounted on the lifting frame, and the moving end of the cylinder is connected to the upper folding mold. The cylinder drives the upper folding mold to move up and down, so that the upper folding mold and the lower folding mold cooperate to fold the sheet metal part.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a conveyor belt, which is set at the top of the base on the side of the lower folding mold; the cross arm pushes the sheet metal parts processed on the lower folding mold onto the conveyor belt, so that the conveyor belt continues to transport the sheet metal parts, improving the convenience of unloading the sheet metal parts.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a guide channel, which is set on the outer wall of the base; the guide channel collects and guides the sheet metal parts conveyed by the conveyor belt, improving the convenience of sheet metal part discharge.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a limiting plate, which is set on the lower mold of the folding edge; the limiting plate guides and limits the conveyed sheet metal parts, thereby improving the accuracy of the conveying position of the sheet metal parts.

[0013] Preferably, it also includes a push plate, which is set at the end of the cross arm; by setting the push plate, the contact area between the cross arm and the sheet metal part is increased, thereby improving the effect of the cross arm in smoothly pushing the sheet metal part.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Sheet metal parts that need to be folded are stacked on the top of the support plate inside the box. The support plate is driven to move upward by the drive device, so that the support plate moves and transports the stacked sheet metal parts upward. After the top sheet metal part moves out of the top of the box, the push device pushes the top sheet metal part toward the lower folding mold, so that it moves between the lower folding mold and the upper folding mold. Then, the support device drives the upper folding mold to move downward, so that the upper folding mold and the lower folding mold cooperate to fold the sheet metal part. After the sheet metal part is folded, the push device continues to push it to unload it. Then, the drive device drives the support plate to move upward one station, so that the next sheet metal part enters the push position for conveying and processing. This improves the convenience of automatic loading and unloading of sheet metal parts and improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description
