Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fully automatic vertical grooving machines, specifically a fully automatic vertical grooving machine. Background Technology

[0002] The fully automatic vertical grooving machine is an advanced piece of equipment for processing metal sheets. It features a robust structure and high processing precision, and is widely used in industries such as stainless steel processing, building decoration, kitchen equipment, and elevator manufacturing. It can effectively meet the processing needs of different industries.

[0003] The fully automatic vertical grooving machine mainly consists of a machine body, frame, worktable, tool holder system, and CNC open control system, as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the machine frame adopts a welded structure and undergoes stress relief treatment to ensure high strength and stability. The worktable consists of an adjustable clamp and a worktable plane, used to fix and support the workpiece. The tool holder system is equipped with multiple planing tools and uses ball screw transmission to achieve high-precision up-and-down movement. The left and right movement uses gear and rack transmission to ensure a smooth planing process. The CNC open control system supports multi-axis AC servo motor drive to achieve automated processing. However, when using a fully automatic vertical grooving machine, because the clamp is only set on one side of the worktable, the metal sheet is prone to uneven force when fixed, resulting in edge warping, which is not conducive to grooving processing.

[0004] In summary, this utility model provides a fully automatic vertical grooving machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The support frame includes a guide rod in the inner cavity, a guide sleeve fitted on the surface of the guide rod, and a clamping assembly, including a support base, a servo cylinder connected to the support base via a movable pin, a connecting rod assembly installed at the output end of the servo cylinder, and a pressure rod and a pressure plate for clamping the metal sheet. The clamping assembly is used to fix the metal sheet. The connecting rod assembly includes a support rod, a triangular plate fixed in the inner cavity of the support base, a first connecting rod connected to the support rod via a movable pin, and a second connecting rod connected to the triangular plate via a movable pin. The second connecting rod and the first connecting rod are also connected to the output end of the servo cylinder via a movable pin.

[0007] Furthermore, in this utility model, one end of the support rod is movably connected to the triangular plate via a movable pin, and the other end of the support rod is connected to the pressure rod via bolts, with the pressure plate fixed to the bottom of the pressure rod.

[0008] Furthermore, in this utility model, the tops of the ball nut and the guide sleeve are both fixedly connected to the support base, the support frame is fixed to the top of the L-shaped plate, and the output shaft of the second motor passes through the inner cavity of the support frame and is connected to the ball screw drive.

[0009] Furthermore, in this utility model, the rack is fixedly connected to the machine body, the output shaft of the first motor passes through the L-shaped plate and is connected to the gear transmission, and the L-shaped plate is fixed to the surface of the slide.

This allows the grooving machine to quickly and accurately position itself when processing different locations, avoiding errors that may occur with manual adjustments, thereby improving grooving accuracy and overall processing efficiency. The adjusting component can precisely adjust the position of the clamping component, further improving grooving accuracy. When processing metal sheets of different specifications, the position of the clamping component can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the sheet and grooving requirements to ensure the accuracy of the grooving position. The clamping component is driven by a servo cylinder to drive the connecting rod assembly, causing the pressure rod and pressure plate to clamp and fix the metal sheet, effectively preventing displacement or shaking of the metal sheet during grooving and ensuring processing stability. The design of the connecting rod assembly allows the clamping force to be evenly distributed on the metal sheet, avoiding excessive or insufficient local force, thereby effectively improving processing quality.

Various aspects of this utility model are described in this disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate numerous illustrative embodiments. The embodiments of this disclosure are not necessarily defined to include all aspects of this utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1-5The image shows the first embodiment of this utility model, which provides a fully automatic vertical grooving machine, including a vertical grooving machine 100, comprising a machine body 110, a frame 120 fixed to the top of the machine body 110, a worktable 130 mounted on the top of the machine body 110, a moving assembly 200 including a rack 210, a gear 220 meshing with the rack 210, an L-shaped plate 230 located on the front of the machine body 110, a first motor 240 fixed to the L-shaped plate 230, a slide rail 250 fixed to the front of the machine body 110, and a slide block 260 slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail 250, and an adjusting assembly 300 including a support frame 310, a second motor 320 fixed to the support frame 310, a ball screw 330 mounted in the inner cavity of the support frame 310 via bearings, and a ball screw threadedly connected to the ball screw 330. The system includes a mother 340, a guide rod 350 fixed to the inner cavity of the support frame 310, a guide sleeve 360 ​​sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 350, and a clamping assembly 400, which includes a support base 410, a servo cylinder 420 connected to the support base 410 via a movable pin, a connecting rod assembly 430 mounted on the output end of the servo cylinder 420, and a pressure rod 440 and a pressure plate 450 for clamping the metal sheet. The clamping assembly 400 is used to fix the metal sheet. The connecting rod assembly 430 includes a support rod 431, a triangular plate 432 fixed to the inner cavity of the support base 410, a first connecting rod 433 connected to the support rod 431 via a movable pin, and a second connecting rod 434 connected to the triangular plate 432 via a movable pin. The second connecting rod 434 and the first connecting rod 433 are also connected to the output end of the servo cylinder 420 via a movable pin.

[0024] like Figure 1-5As shown, by cooperating with the original pneumatic clamp of the vertical grooving machine 100, the clamping assembly 400 achieves double-sided fixed clamping, avoiding torque imbalance caused by single-sided clamping. The number of adjusting assembly 300 and clamping assembly 400 can be expanded according to usage requirements. The horizontal position is adjusted by ball screw 330 and guide rod 350. Multiple clamping points can be flexibly arranged according to the sheet size to form a distributed pressure field. The connecting rod assembly 430, through the cooperation of triangular plate 432, support rod 431 and double connecting rod structure, converts the linear motion of servo cylinder 420 into vertical downward pressure on pressure rod 440, amplifies the pressure through the lever principle, and at the same time utilizes the rigidity of the connecting rod to disperse the force. Apply force to avoid excessive pressure at a single point. The pressure plate 450 is fixed to the bottom of the pressure rod 440 to increase the contact area with the sheet material, further reducing pressure and minimizing the risk of deformation. The moving component 200 includes a rack 210, a gear 220, an L-shaped plate 230, a first motor 240, a slide rail 250, and a slide block 260. The first motor 240 drives the gear 220 to mesh with the rack 210, causing the L-shaped plate 230 to move on the slide rail 250. This, in turn, drives the adjusting component 300 and the pressing component 400 to move as a whole. This allows the overall position of the pressing component 400 to be adjusted according to the specific conditions of the metal sheet, better adapting to the fixing requirements of metal sheets of different specifications.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0027] In this embodiment, one end of the support rod 431 is movably connected to the triangular plate 432 via a movable pin, and the other end of the support rod 431 is connected to the pressure rod 440 via bolts. The pressure plate 450 is fixed to the bottom of the pressure rod 440.

[0028] The tops of the ball nut 340 and the guide sleeve 360 ​​are fixedly connected to the support base 410. The support frame 310 is fixed to the top of the L-shaped plate 230. The output shaft of the second motor 320 passes through the inner cavity of the support frame 310 and is connected to the ball screw 330 for transmission.

[0029] The rack 210 is fixedly connected to the body 110, the output shaft of the first motor 240 passes through the L-shaped plate 230 and is connected to the gear 220 for transmission, and the L-shaped plate 230 is fixed to the surface of the slide 260.

[0030] A pneumatic clamp is also provided on the side of the worktable 130 away from the clamping component 400. The number of adjusting components 300 and clamping components 400 is set to several. The adjusting component 300 is used to adjust the position of the clamping component 400.

[0031] like Figure 1-5As shown, the moving component 200 achieves longitudinal movement through the rack 210, gear 220, and slide rail 250, while the adjusting component 300 achieves lateral fine adjustment. The combination of the two can cover the entire area of ​​the worktable 130, ensuring that the clamping point is aligned with the edge or feature position of the sheet. Each clamping component 400 is equipped with an independent servo cylinder 420 to achieve precise control of pressure and clamping timing, adapting to the local force requirements of irregularly shaped sheets. The number of adjusting components 300 and clamping components 400 can be expanded according to usage requirements. The horizontal position is adjusted through the ball screw 330 and guide rod 350. Multiple clamping points can be flexibly arranged according to the sheet size to form a distributed pressure field. The pneumatic clamp on the top of the worktable 130 forms a double-sided fixed structure with the clamping component 400, avoiding torque imbalance caused by single-sided clamping. This effectively solves the problem of uneven force on metal sheets during fixing, resulting in edge warping, which is not conducive to grooving processing.

[0032] In use, the moving component 200 moves the pressing component 400 through the transmission of the gear 220 and the rack 210. After the first motor 240 is started, its output shaft drives the gear 220 connected to it to rotate. Since the gear 220 meshes with the rack 210 fixed on the machine body 110, the rotation of the gear 220 is converted into linear motion, which in turn drives the component fixed on the same L-shaped plate 230 as the first motor 240 to move. At the same time, the L-shaped plate 230 is fixed on the surface of the slide block 260, and the slide block 260 is slidably connected to the slide rail 250 on the front of the machine body 110. The cooperation between the slide rail 250 and the slide block 260 provides guidance and support for the movement, ensuring the stability of the movement process, and thus driving the position of the adjusting component 300 and the pressing component 400 fixed on the L-shaped plate 230.

[0033] The adjusting component 300 is mainly used to adjust the position of the pressing component 400. After the second motor 320 is started, its output shaft passes through the inner cavity of the support frame 310 and drives the ball screw 330 to rotate. The ball nut 340, which is threaded to the ball screw 330, will move linearly with the rotation of the screw. At the same time, the guide rod 350 and the guide sleeve 360 ​​sleeved on its surface play a guiding role to ensure that the linear movement direction of the ball nut 340 is accurate. Since the tops of the ball nut 340 and the guide sleeve 360 ​​are fixedly connected to the support base 410, the linear movement of the ball nut 340 will drive the support base 410 to move, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the pressing component 400.

[0034] The clamping assembly 400 is used to fix the metal sheet. The servo cylinder 420 is connected to the support base 410 through a movable pin. When the servo cylinder 420 works, its output end will generate a telescopic movement, which is transmitted through the linkage assembly 430. The first linkage 433 and the second linkage 434 in the linkage assembly 430 are respectively connected to the output end of the servo cylinder 420, the triangular plate 432 and the support rod 431 through movable pins to form a linkage transmission mechanism. The telescopic movement of the output end of the servo cylinder 420 drives the support rod 431 to move through the transmission of the linkage assembly 430. One end of the support rod 431 is movably connected to the triangular plate 432 through a movable pin, and the other end is connected to the pressure rod 440 through a bolt. The pressure plate 450 is fixed at the bottom of the pressure rod 440. When the support rod 431 moves, it will drive the pressure rod 440 and the pressure plate 450 to move up and down, realizing the clamping and loosening operation of the metal sheet placed on the worktable 130, so as to cooperate with the pneumatic clamp to fix the metal sheet.

[0035] The metal sheet is placed on the worktable 130. A pneumatic clamp on the side of the worktable 130 away from the clamping assembly 400 can initially fix the metal sheet. Then, according to the specific position of the metal sheet and the processing requirements, the position of the clamping assembly 400 is adjusted using the adjusting assembly 300 so that the pressure plate 450 is accurately aligned with the part that needs to be clamped. Next, the servo cylinder 420 of the clamping assembly 400 is activated, which drives the pressure plate 450 to press down through the connecting rod assembly 430, further fixing the metal sheet. After that, the moving assembly 200 starts to work, which drives the entire adjusting assembly 300 and the clamping assembly 400 to move along the slide rail 250 to achieve clamping of different positions of the metal sheet. The number of adjusting assemblies 300 and clamping assemblies 400 can be expanded as needed, thereby improving processing efficiency and accuracy.

[0036] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. The control method is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Since this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in this application.

[0037] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention shall be determined by the claims.
