[0016] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, a quick mold changing and angle calibration device for a CNC bending machine includes a support base 1; a fixed rod 2 is connected to the top of the support base 1, a top plate 3 is connected to the top of the fixed rod 2, a hydraulic cylinder 4 is connected to the top of the top plate 3, a movable plate 5 is connected to the bottom of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4, two top supports 6 are connected to the bottom of the movable plate 5, two bottom supports 7 corresponding to the top supports 6 are connected to the top of the support base 1, a top mold mounting mechanism 8 is installed between the two top supports 6, and a bottom mold mounting structure 9 is installed between the two bottom supports 7. The top mold mounting mechanism 8 includes a first support shaft 801 and a first bolt assembly 805. A first mounting bracket 802 is connected to the surface of the first support shaft 801. A plurality of first grooves 803 are equally spaced on the surface of the first mounting bracket 802. Top molds 804 of different models are movably connected inside the plurality of first grooves 803. The plurality of top molds 804 are connected to the first mounting bracket 802 through the first bolt assembly 805. The bottom mold mounting structure 9 includes a second support shaft 901 and a second bolt assembly 905. A second mounting bracket 902 is connected to the surface of the second support shaft 901. A plurality of second grooves 903 are equally spaced on the surface of the second mounting bracket 902. Bottom molds 904 of different models are movably connected inside the plurality of second grooves 903. The plurality of bottom molds 904 are connected to the second mounting bracket 902 through the second bolt assembly 905. During operation, by installing different types of top molds 804 into the inside of the first groove 803 and different types of bottom molds 904 into the inside of the second groove 903, and then by rotating the first support shaft 801 and the second support shaft 901, the top molds 804 and bottom molds 904 can be quickly rotated. This allows for the replacement of multiple types of molds at once, thereby improving the mold replacement efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, locking mechanisms 10 are provided on the surfaces of the first support shaft 801 and the second support shaft 901. The locking mechanism 10 includes a ratchet 1001 and a limiting block 1002. The limiting block 1002 has a through hole inside, and a spiral spring is connected to the inner wall of the through hole. The limiting block 1002 is connected to a fixed shaft 1003 through the spiral spring. The ratchet 1001 is symmetrically distributed in opposite directions on the two end surfaces of the first support shaft 801 passing through the top bracket 6 and the two end surfaces of the second support shaft 901 passing through the bottom bracket 7. The fixed shaft 1003 is fixed to the side surfaces of the two top brackets 6 that are far apart from each other and the side surfaces of the two bottom brackets 7 that are far apart from each other. During operation, by rotating a limit block 1002, the limiting work on the first support shaft 801 and the second support shaft 901 in one direction can be released, thus facilitating mold replacement after rotating the first support shaft 801 and the second support shaft 901. The limit block 1002 is driven to reset and rotate by a spiral spring, which can automatically lock the mold and prevent accidental rotation during mold replacement, thereby improving the stability during use.

[0019] Furthermore, a plurality of laser emitters 11 are distributed at equal angles on the surface of the first support shaft 801, and the plurality of laser emitters 11 correspond to the first groove 803. A plurality of laser receivers 12 corresponding to the second groove 903 are distributed at equal angles on the surface of the second support shaft 901, and the plurality of laser receivers 12 cooperate with the plurality of laser emitters 11. During operation, the rotation angle of the first support shaft 801 and the second support shaft 901 can be detected, which helps the first support shaft 801 and the second support shaft 901 to rotate at the same angle, thereby ensuring that the top mold 804 and the bottom mold 904 are matched when they are replaced, and improving the accuracy of mold replacement.

[0020] Working principle: First, different types of top molds 804 are installed into the interior of several first grooves 803 through the first bolt assembly 805, and different types of bottom molds 904 that match the top molds 804 are installed into the interior of several second grooves 903 through the second bolt assembly 905. At the same time, the matching top molds 804 and bottom molds 904 maintain the same angle inside the first mounting bracket 802 and the second mounting bracket 902. Next, by rotating the limiting blocks 1002 in the same direction on the first support shaft 801 and the second support shaft 901, the limiting blocks 1002 cause the spiral spring to deform and release the limiting work on one ratchet 1001. This allows the first support shaft 801 and the second support shaft 901 to rotate, which in turn drives the first mounting bracket 802 and the second mounting bracket 902 to rotate. This rotation of the first mounting bracket 802 and the second mounting bracket 902 can drive the top mold 804 and the bottom mold 904 at different angles to alternate. After the top mold 804 and the bottom mold 904 have alternated, the limiting blocks 1002 are released, causing the spiral spring to drive the limiting blocks 1002 to reset and rotate, and then continue to limit the ratchet 1001. This prevents the first support shaft 801 and the second support shaft 901 from rotating, thereby improving the stability after angle adjustment. Meanwhile, during the rotation process, the first support shaft 801 drives the laser emitter 11 to rotate, while the second support shaft 901 drives the laser receiver 12, so that the laser signal generated by the laser emitter 11 is received by the matching laser receiver 12. This ensures that the rotation angles of the first support shaft 801 and the second support shaft 901 are consistent, and that the matching top mold 804 and bottom mold 904 are kept in a downward corresponding distribution. This improves the accuracy of mold replacement and prevents misalignment after mold replacement from affecting the bending operation.

[0021] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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, or similar improvements made within the theoretical and principle content of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
