Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model particularly relates to a pressing-type metal sheet processing platform. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional sheet metal processing platforms typically feature a movable slide on the operating platform, upon which rigid clamping blocks (or push plates) made of steel or aluminum alloy are mounted. The clamping power source is usually a manual screw, pneumatic cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder. During operation, the power source directly drives the rigid clamping blocks on both sides to move synchronously in opposite directions until they firmly press against the edges of the sheet metal, achieving clamping through static friction. This structure often suffers from the following drawbacks:

[0003] The rigid clamps make hard contact with the metal sheet, which, especially when high clamping force is required, can easily leave indentations and scratches on the delicate sides or top surface of the sheet. Furthermore, the clamping surfaces of the two rigid clamps are flat, without any guide angle; the operator must align the edge of the sheet with the clamping position very precisely, otherwise collisions are likely to occur. When pushing large, heavy sheets, misalignment can lead to jamming or, in severe cases, sudden misalignment causing the sheet to spring open, posing a danger to equipment and personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a clamping metal sheet processing platform.

[0005] A clamping metal sheet processing platform includes an operating platform with movable seats movably disposed at both ends of the operating platform. Each movable seat is connected to a driving device, which drives the two movable seats to move closer or further apart. A clamping assembly for clamping metal sheets from both sides is disposed on the inner sides of the two movable seats. The clamping assembly includes a bracket mounted on the movable seat, and an upper pressure roller and a lower pressure roller arranged vertically on the bracket. A clamping area for the metal sheet to pass through is formed between the upper and lower pressure rollers. A first guide assembly is disposed on the feeding side of the upper pressure roller, and a second guide assembly is disposed on the discharging side. The side edge of the metal sheet is guided sequentially by the first guide assembly, pressed through the clamping area between the upper and lower pressure rollers, and discharged through the second guide assembly, thereby achieving clamping and positioning of the metal sheet.

[0006] Preferably, the first guide assembly includes a first mounting bracket and a first base rigidly connected to the movable seat. A first upper guide wheel is rotatably disposed on the first mounting bracket, and a first lower guide wheel is rotatably disposed on the first base. The axes of the first upper guide wheel and the first lower guide wheel are parallel to each other and arranged vertically opposite each other, forming a first guide channel for the side of the metal sheet to be guided in.

[0007] Preferably, the second guide assembly includes a second mounting bracket and a second base rigidly connected to the movable seat; a second upper guide wheel is rotatably disposed on the second mounting bracket, and a second lower guide wheel is rotatably disposed on the second base. The axes of the second upper guide wheel and the second lower guide wheel are parallel to each other and arranged vertically opposite each other, forming a second guide channel for the side of the metal sheet to be guided in.

[0008] Preferably, the driving device includes screws arranged parallel to both sides of the operating platform. Each screw is supported on the operating platform by a bearing seat and forms a threaded transmission with the corresponding movable seat on the corresponding side. One end of each screw is connected to a rotary motor that drives it to rotate. The rotary motor drives the screw to rotate in both directions, thereby causing the two movable seats to move towards or away from each other along the operating platform.

[0009] Preferably, at least one pair of slide rails are arranged parallel to each other along the length of the upper surface of the operating platform, and the bottom of the movable seat is in sliding engagement with the slide rails.

[0010] Preferably, the movable seat is recessed inward and has a storage slot, which is covered by an installation cover.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention employs rotatable upper and lower pressure rollers to contact the metal sheet, transforming traditional rigid sliding friction into flexible rolling friction. This rolling contact method avoids the hard scratching of the sheet's sides and top surface by rigid clamping blocks, eliminating surface damage problems such as indentations and scratches. Furthermore, under the action of the first guide channel of the first guide assembly, the metal sheet is automatically guided to a lateral position under the action of rolling friction, ensuring that the metal sheet can smoothly enter the subsequent clamping area.

[0021] A clamping metal sheet processing platform includes an operating platform 1. Movable seats 2 are movably mounted at both ends of the operating platform 1. Each movable seat 2 is connected to a driving device, which drives the two movable seats 2 to move closer or further apart. Clamping components for clamping metal sheets 1-1 from both sides are arranged on the inner sides of the two movable seats 2. Each clamping component includes a bracket 31 mounted on the movable seat 2, and an upper pressure roller 32 and a lower pressure roller 33 arranged vertically on the bracket 31. A clamping area for the metal sheet 1-1 to pass through is formed between the upper pressure roller 32 and the lower pressure roller 33. A first guide component is provided on the feeding side of the upper pressure roller 32, and a second guide component is provided on the discharging side. The side edge of the metal sheet 1-1 is guided sequentially by the first guide component, pressed through the clamping area between the upper pressure roller 32 and the lower pressure roller 33, and discharged through the second guide component, thereby achieving clamping and positioning of the metal sheet 1-1.

[0022] Furthermore, the first guide assembly includes a first mounting bracket 41 and a first base 42 rigidly connected to the movable seat 2. A first upper guide wheel 43 is rotatably disposed on the first mounting bracket 41, and a first lower guide wheel 44 is rotatably disposed on the first base 42. The axes of the first upper guide wheel 43 and the first lower guide wheel 44 are parallel to each other and arranged vertically opposite each other, forming a first guide channel for the side of the metal plate 1-1 to be introduced.

[0023] Furthermore, the second guide assembly includes a second mounting bracket 51 and a second base 52 rigidly connected to the movable seat 2; a second upper guide wheel 53 is rotatably disposed on the second mounting bracket 51, and a second lower guide wheel 54 is rotatably disposed on the second base 52. The axes of the second upper guide wheel 53 and the second lower guide wheel 54 are parallel to each other and arranged vertically opposite each other, forming a second guide channel for the side of the metal plate 1-1 to be introduced.

[0024] Furthermore, the driving device includes screws 61 arranged in parallel on both sides of the operating platform 1. Each screw 61 is supported on the operating platform 1 by a bearing seat 62 and forms a threaded transmission with the corresponding movable seat 2. One end of each screw 61 is connected to a rotary motor 63 that drives it to rotate. The rotary motor 63 drives the screw 61 to rotate in both directions, thereby driving the two movable seats 2 to move towards or away from each other along the operating platform 1.

[0025] Furthermore, at least one pair of slide rails 7 are arranged parallel to each other along the length of the upper surface of the operating platform 1, and the bottom of the movable seat 2 is in sliding engagement with the slide rails 7.

[0026] Furthermore, the movable seat 2 is recessed inward and has a storage slot 8, which is covered by an installation cover 9.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] When in use, start the rotary motor 63. Each rotary motor 63 drives the corresponding screw 61 to rotate. Since the moving seat 2 and the screw 61 form a threaded transmission, the forward and reverse rotation of the motor can drive the two moving seats 2 to move towards or away from each other along the slide rail 7 on the operating table, thereby flexibly adjusting the distance between the two clamping components to adapt to metal plates 1-1 of different widths.

[0029] During operation, the two side edges of the metal sheet 1-1 are pushed towards the clamping components on the two moving seats 2. The specific working principle is as follows: The metal sheet 1-1 first enters the first guide channel formed by the first guide component. The function of the first guide channel is to correct the entry angle of the metal sheet 1-1, ensuring that it can be smoothly and accurately aligned with the subsequent clamping area (i.e., the distance between the upper pressure roller 32 and the lower pressure roller 33), preventing jamming or scratches on the sheet edge due to skewed feeding. After initial guidance through the first guide channel, the side edge of the sheet enters the clamping area between the upper pressure roller 32 and the lower pressure roller 33. The upper and lower pressure rollers 33 apply clamping force to the side edge of the sheet in the vertical direction. This pressure provides friction to constrain the sheet, preventing lateral movement or warping during subsequent processing such as surface treatment, achieving reliable positioning. After the clamped and positioned side edge of the sheet emerges from the clamping area, it is then guided out by the second guide component. The function of the second guide component is to further maintain the linear motion posture of the sheet, ensuring its smooth delivery from the clamping components and maintaining the stability of the entire processing process.

[0030] Based on the above technical solution, the first guide assembly may include a first mounting bracket 41 and a first base 42 fixed on the movable seat 2. A first upper guide wheel 43 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting bracket 41 via bearings, and a first lower guide wheel 44 is rotatably mounted on the first base 42 via bearings. The axes of the upper and lower guide wheels are parallel and opposite each other, and the first upper guide wheel 43 and the first lower guide wheel 44 together form a first guide channel. With this design, under the structural cooperation of the first upper guide wheel 43 and the first lower guide wheel 44, the metal sheet 1-1 is automatically guided to a lateral position under the action of rolling friction, ensuring that the metal sheet 1-1 can smoothly enter the subsequent pressing area.

[0031] Based on the above technical solution, a second guide component is installed on the discharge side of the upper pressure roller 32 in the same manner. Its structure is the same as that of the first guide component. Its function is to provide discharge support for the compressed plate and maintain the running trajectory.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, this application also provides a storage slot 8 on the movable seat 2, and a cover plate 9 is provided on the storage slot 8. For example, commonly used adjustment tools (such as Allen wrenches, wrenches, spare pressure rollers, guide rollers, fasteners, etc.) can be directly stored in the storage slot. When operators need to adjust the clamping mechanism or replace vulnerable parts, they do not need to leave the work area to find tools and parts, which greatly saves time and improves the efficiency of maintenance and adjustment.

[0033] This invention employs rotatable upper and lower pressure rollers to contact the metal sheet, transforming traditional rigid sliding friction into flexible rolling friction. This rolling contact method avoids the hard scratching of the sheet's sides and top surface by rigid clamping blocks, eliminating surface damage problems such as indentations and scratches. Furthermore, under the action of the first guide channel of the first guide assembly, the metal sheet 1-1 is automatically guided to a lateral position under the action of rolling friction, ensuring that the metal sheet 1-1 can smoothly enter the subsequent clamping area.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
