Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal mold technology, specifically a detachable sheet metal mold. Background Technology

[0002] Sheet metal work is a comprehensive cold processing technology for thin metal sheets, including shearing, punching / cutting / combined cutting, bending, riveting, splicing, and forming. Its significant characteristic is that the thickness of the same part is consistent. Sheet metal has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, electrical conductivity, low cost, and good mass production performance. It has been widely used in the fields of electronics, communications, automotive industry, and medical devices. For example, sheet metal is an essential component in computer cases, mobile phones, and MP3 players.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN221833162U, which discloses a sheet metal stamping die. By setting up a counting component, during the stamping operation of a sheet metal part placed on a die by a telescopic cylinder driving the punch, a fixed rod installed on the lifting seat moves up and down once. During this process, the turntable can be rotated one revolution through the transmission of the connecting rod, and the number on the counter changes, thereby realizing the automatic counting of sheet metal parts stamping. This eliminates the need for manual subsequent statistical counting of the stamped sheet metal parts and improves the practicality of the stamping die.

[0004] The aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: since both the upper and lower molds are fixed and installed using conventional bolt installation methods, when it is necessary to bend sheet metal parts of different shapes, workers need to use tools to tighten the bolts one by one to disassemble the upper and lower molds, and then replace them with upper and lower molds of the corresponding size, and then reinstall them by fixing them with bolts. This replacement method increases the labor burden of workers, thereby reducing the efficiency of replacing the upper and lower molds and affecting the efficiency of subsequent sheet metal processing. Therefore, we propose a detachable sheet metal mold. 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] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the present invention, a detachable sheet metal mold includes: a mold platform 1, a connecting plate 2, a lower mold 3, and an upper mold 4. The connecting plate 2 has a U-shaped groove inside, and a second locking mechanism 5 is provided inside the U-shaped groove. A first locking mechanism 6 is provided between the two sides of the inner wall of the mold platform 1, and both the second locking mechanism 5 and the first locking mechanism 6 extend to one side of the mold platform 1. Positioning components 7 are provided on both sides of the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4, and the second locking mechanism 5 and the first locking mechanism 6 are movably inserted into the four positioning components 7. Trapezoidal grooves are provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 2 and the top of the mold platform 1. Trapezoidal blocks are connected to the opposite sides of the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4, and the two trapezoidal blocks are movably inserted into the two trapezoidal grooves respectively. A U-shaped frame is connected to the top of the mold platform 1, and clamping mechanisms 8 are provided on both sides of the U-shaped frame, and both clamping mechanisms 8 extend to the inner side of the U-shaped frame.

[0026] Specifically, by reversing the first locking mechanism 6 and the second locking mechanism 5, the four positioning components 7 can be removed, releasing the action on the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4. At this time, the two trapezoidal blocks on the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4 are removed from the inside of the two trapezoidal slots, thus completing the disassembly of the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4. Conversely, by repositioning the two trapezoidal blocks on the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4 into the inside of the two trapezoidal slots, and by re-rotating the first locking mechanism 6 and the second locking mechanism 5 in the forward direction, the four positioning components 7 can be re-locked, thus completing the installation of the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4. Before bending the sheet metal, first pull the two clamping mechanisms 8, then place the sheet metal on top of the lower mold 3, release the two clamping mechanisms 8 to reset and clamp the two sides of the sheet metal. When the sheet metal is bent, its two ends will move towards the center. At this time, the two clamping mechanisms 8 will adaptively clamp the sheet metal according to the movement of its two ends, thus enabling the sheet metal to achieve stable bending.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] Please see Figures 2-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a detachable sheet metal mold includes a second locking mechanism 5 comprising a second bidirectional threaded rod 501, a second throttle 502, two second threaded blocks 503, two second horizontal plates 504, and two second three-pronged rods 505. The second bidirectional threaded rod 501 is rotatably connected between the two sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped groove, and one end of the second bidirectional threaded rod 501 extends to one side of the U-shaped frame. The second throttle 502 is connected to one end of the second bidirectional threaded rod 501. The two second threaded blocks 503 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the second bidirectional threaded rod 501. The two second horizontal plates 504 are respectively connected to the bottom of the second threaded blocks 503. The two second three-pronged rods 505 are respectively connected to the adjacent side of the two second horizontal plates 504. The first locking mechanism 6 comprises a first threaded rod 601, a first throttle 602, two first threaded blocks 603, and two second threaded blocks 504. A first horizontal plate 604 and two first three-pronged rods 605 are provided. A first threaded rod 601 is rotatably connected between the two sides of the inner wall of the mold 1, and one end of the first threaded rod 601 extends to one side of the mold 1. A first throttle 602 is connected to one end of the first threaded rod 601. Two first threaded blocks 603 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the first threaded rod 601, and both first threaded blocks 603 extend to the top of the mold 1. Two first horizontal plates 604 are respectively connected to the top of the two first threaded blocks 603. Two first three-pronged rods 605 are respectively connected to the adjacent side of the two first horizontal plates 604. The positioning assembly 7 includes a positioning plate 701 and three-pronged holes 702. The positioning plate 701 is connected to one side of the lower mold 3. The three-pronged holes 702 are opened on one side of the positioning plate 701, and one of the second three-pronged rods 505 is movably inserted into the interior of the three-pronged hole 702.

[0029] Specifically, rotating the first handle 602 and the second handle 502 in the opposite direction drives the first threaded rod 601 and the second bidirectional threaded rod 501 to rotate, causing the two first threaded blocks 603 and the two second threaded blocks 503 to move threadedly. This, in turn, causes the two first horizontal plates 604 and the two second horizontal plates 504 to move away from each other, allowing the two first three-pronged rods 605 and the two second three-pronged rods 505 to retract from the four three-pronged holes 702, thereby releasing the compression lock on the lower die 3 and the upper die 4. Next, pull the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4 to make the two trapezoidal blocks slide inside the two trapezoidal slots, so that the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4 can be removed. After replacing the two trapezoidal blocks on the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4, align them with the two trapezoidal slots and put them in. Then, rotate the first handle 602 and the second handle 502 in the forward direction so that the two first three-pin rods 605 and the two second three-pin rods 505 are reinserted into the four three-pin holes 702, and the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4 are locked again, thus completing the convenient replacement of the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4.

[0030] Example 3:

[0031] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a detachable sheet metal mold, the clamping mechanism 8 includes a crossbar 801, a limiting handle 802, a spring 803, a limiting plate 804, and a roller 805. The crossbar 801 is slidably connected to one side of the U-shaped frame, and one end of the crossbar 801 extends to the inner side of the U-shaped frame. The limiting handle 802 is connected to the other end of the crossbar 801. The limiting plate 804 is connected to one end of the crossbar 801. The spring 803 is connected between one side of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame and one side of the limiting plate 804, and the spring 803 is located outside the crossbar 801. The roller 805 is rotatably connected to the inside of the transverse groove, and the output end of the cylinder extends to the top of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame. The output end of the cylinder is connected to the top of the connecting plate 2.

[0032] Specifically, pulling the limit lever 802 causes the crossbar 801 to slide on one side of the U-shaped frame, bringing the limit plate 804 close to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame and compressing the spring 803. After placing the sheet metal on top of the lower mold 3, the limit lever 802 is released, the spring 803 returns to its original position, and the limit plate 804 presses and clamps one side of the sheet metal. The cylinder is activated, and the upper mold 4 descends through the connecting plate 2, causing the upper mold 4 to press the sheet metal placed on top of the lower mold 3. At this time, the sheet metal is bent, and then the two ends of the sheet metal will move closer to each other. Under the action of the limit plate 804, one end of the sheet metal is limited to prevent the sheet metal from warping. At the same time, under the action of the spring 803 returning to its original position, the crossbar 801 can slide, allowing the limit plate 804 to continuously follow the movement of one end of the sheet metal, adaptively pressing and fixing it. Under the action of the roller 805, the damage caused by the movement of the sheet metal can be reduced, thus completing the bending work after fixing the sheet metal.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to disassemble the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4, the operator first rotates the first handle 602 and the second handle 502 in the opposite direction. The first handle 602 and the second handle 502 will respectively drive the first threaded rod 601 and the second bidirectional threaded rod 501 to rotate, causing the two first threaded blocks 603 and the two second threaded blocks 503 to move threadedly. This allows the two first threaded blocks 603 and the two second threaded blocks 503 to respectively drive the two first horizontal plates 604 and the two second horizontal plates 504 to move away from each other, so that the two first threaded blocks 603 and the two second threaded blocks 503 respectively drive the two first horizontal plates 604 and the two second horizontal plates 504 to move away from each other. The first three-prong insert 605 and the two second three-prong inserts 505 are removed from the four three-prong holes 702 on the four positioning plates 701, thus releasing the compression lock on the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4. At this time, the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4 can be pulled, causing the two trapezoidal blocks to slide inside the two trapezoidal grooves, thereby disassembling the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4. After replacing the two trapezoidal blocks on the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 4, align them with the two trapezoidal grooves and insert them. Then, rotate the first handle 602 and the second handle 502 clockwise to move the two first three-prong inserts 605 and the two second three-prong inserts 505. Reinsert the four three-prong plugs 702 into the interior and relock the lower mold 3 and upper mold 4 to easily replace them. Pulling the limit handle 802 causes the crossbar 801 to slide on one side of the U-shaped frame, thus moving the limit plate 804 closer to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame and compressing the spring 803. After placing the sheet metal on top of the lower mold 3, release the limit handle 802. The spring 803 will return to its original position, causing the limit plate 804 to clamp and press one side of the sheet metal. Once the sheet metal is clamped, activate the cylinder. The connecting plate 2 drives the upper mold 4 to descend, causing the upper mold 4 to press the sheet metal placed on top of the lower mold 3 and bend the sheet metal. When the sheet metal is bent, the two ends of the sheet metal will move closer to each other. Under the action of the limiting plate 804, one end of the sheet metal will be limited to prevent the sheet metal from warping. At the same time, the limiting plate 804 will follow the movement of one end of the sheet metal and adaptively press and fix it to prevent the sheet metal from moving. Under the action of the roller 805, the top of the sheet metal will generate rolling friction with the roller 805 when sliding, which can reduce the damage caused by the movement of the sheet metal.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
