Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of distribution box manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a sheet metal folding device for processing distribution boxes. Background Technology
[0002] A distribution box is a circuit distribution box for all users' electricity consumption; its working principle is that a distribution box is a low-voltage power distribution device formed by assembling switching equipment, measuring instruments, protective electrical appliances and auxiliary equipment in a closed or semi-closed metal cabinet or panel according to electrical wiring requirements.
[0003] When processing the sheet metal of a distribution box, the center of the sheet metal is usually pressed down by stamping to effectively fold the edges. However, after the existing folding device folds the sheet metal, the edges of the sheet metal stick to the groove of the lower mold, making it difficult to remove the sheet metal. Other tools are needed to remove it, which greatly reduces the folding efficiency. Therefore, we propose a sheet metal folding device for processing distribution boxes. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sheet metal folding device for processing electrical distribution boxes. By incorporating a pop-out component, specifically, the sheet metal moves downwards to compress a pop-out block. The downward movement of the pop-out block drives a connecting rod one, which in turn drives a connecting rod two. The connecting rod two compresses a spring two, which accumulates elastic force under this compression. After the sheet metal is folded, the stamping die retracts its stamping head. The spring two, through mechanical linkage, springs the pop-out block back to its original position, thus ejecting the sheet metal. This makes sheet metal removal more convenient and efficient, solving the problem in existing folding devices where the sheet metal edges adhere to the groove of the lower die after folding, making removal difficult and requiring additional tools, significantly reducing folding efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model relates to a sheet metal folding device for processing electrical distribution boxes, comprising a base, four support columns fixedly connected to the top of the base, a top plate fixedly connected to the top of each support column, and a stamping die fixedly connected to the top of the top plate, and further comprising: A transfer unit, mounted on top of the base, is used to transfer the sheet material away. An adjustment section is mounted on the top of the base and is used to adjust molds of different sizes. The stamping die is used to stamp and shape the sheet metal.
[0006] Furthermore, the transfer section includes a transfer assembly mounted on top of the base, the transfer assembly being used to push the processed sheet material away from the adjustment section.
[0007] Furthermore, the adjustment unit includes a replacement component mounted on top of the base, the replacement component being used to install a new mold; An installation component is installed inside a replacement component, which is used to disassemble the mold. A pop-out component is installed inside the base and is used to pop out the processed sheet material; The pop-out component and the transfer component work together to automate the removal of the processed sheet material.
[0008] Furthermore, the transfer assembly includes a support seat mounted on top of the base, an electric push rod fixedly connected to the top of the support seat, and a push plate fixedly connected to the right output rod of the electric push rod; The electric push rod increases the extension length of the output rod to drive the push plate to move.
[0009] Furthermore, the replacement component includes a mounting base mounted on top of the base, a push rod slidably connected to the front of the mounting base, and a mold inserted into the interior of the mounting base; The push rod is used to control the state of the mounting components.
[0010] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes a buckle mounted on the front of the mold, a retaining strip inserted inside the buckle, the front of the retaining strip being fixedly connected to the back of the push rod, and a spring being provided on the outer surface of the push rod; Pushing the push rod backward causes the locking bar to move backward, thus releasing the locking bar from the latch.
[0011] Furthermore, the pop-out component includes several positioning pins mounted on the top of the base, and two pop-out blocks are slidably connected inside the base. A connecting rod one is hinged to the bottom of the pop-out block, and a connecting rod two is hinged to the bottom of the connecting rod one. The outer surface of the connecting rod two is slidably connected to the inside of the base. Among them, the side of the connecting rod two away from the connecting rod one is in contact with the spring two.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention features a pop-out component. Specifically, the sheet metal moves downward to compress the pop-out block. The downward movement of the pop-out block drives the first connecting rod to move, which in turn drives the second connecting rod to move. The second connecting rod compresses the second spring, which accumulates elastic force under the pressure. After the sheet metal is folded, the stamping die retracts the stamping head. The second spring, through mechanical linkage, springs the pop-out block back to its original position, and the pop-out block ejects the sheet metal, making the removal of the sheet metal more convenient and efficient.
[0013] This utility model uses an installation component, specifically a push rod that is pushed inward. When the push rod is pushed, it causes the locking strip to move backward. When the locking strip moves to a certain position, it no longer locks the buckle. At this point, the mold can be easily removed from the equipment and replaced with a new mold.
[0014] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a sheet metal folding device for processing electrical distribution boxes, including a base 1, four support columns 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a top plate 21 fixedly connected to the top of the support columns 2, a stamping die 22 fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 21, and further including: Transfer section 3 is installed on top of base 1 and is used to transfer the sheet material away; Adjustment part 4 is installed on the top of the base 1 and is used to adjust molds of different sizes; The stamping die 22 is used to stamp and shape the sheet metal.
[0020] The transfer section 3 includes a transfer assembly 31 mounted on the top of the base 1, which is used to push the processed sheet material away from the adjustment section 4.
[0021] The adjustment unit 4 includes a replacement component 41 mounted on top of the base 1, which is used to install a new mold; The mounting component 42 is installed inside the replacement component 41. The replacement component 41 is used to disassemble the mold. Pushing the push rod 411 inward will cause the locking strip 422 to move backward after being pushed. When the locking strip 422 moves to a certain position, it will no longer lock the buckle 421. At this time, the mold 413 can be easily removed from the equipment and replaced with a new mold. The pop-out component 43 is installed inside the base 1. The pop-out component 43 is used to pop out the processed sheet metal. The sheet metal moves downward and presses the pop-out block 432. The downward movement of the pop-out block 432 drives the first connecting rod 433 to move. The first connecting rod 433 drives the second connecting rod 434 to move. The second connecting rod 434 presses the second spring 435. The second spring 435 accumulates elastic force under compression. After the sheet metal is folded, the stamping module 22 retracts the stamping head. The second spring 435 springs the pop-out block 432 back to its original position through mechanical linkage. The pop-out block 432 pops out the sheet metal, making the removal of the sheet metal more convenient and efficient. The pop-out component 43 and the transfer component 31 work together to automate the removal of the processed sheet material.
[0022] The transfer assembly 31 includes a support base 311 mounted on the top of the base 1, an electric push rod 312 fixedly connected to the top of the support base 311, and a push plate 313 fixedly connected to the right output rod of the electric push rod 312. Among them, the electric push rod 312 increases the extension length of the output rod to drive the push plate 313 to move.
[0023] The replacement component 41 includes a mounting base 412 mounted on the top of the base 1. A push rod 411 is slidably connected to the front of the mounting base 412, and a mold 413 is inserted into the inside of the mounting base 412. The push rod 411 is used to control the state of the mounting component 42.
[0024] Mounting component 42 includes a buckle 421 mounted on the front of mold 413. A retaining strip 422 is inserted into the buckle 421. The front of the retaining strip 422 is fixedly connected to the back of push rod 411. A spring 423 is provided on the outer surface of push rod 411. Pushing the push rod 411 backward causes the locking strip 422 to move backward, thus releasing the locking strip 422 from restricting the buckle 421.
[0025] The pop-out component 43 includes several positioning pins 431 mounted on the top of the base 1. Two pop-out blocks 432 are slidably connected inside the base 1. A connecting rod 433 is hinged to the bottom of the pop-out block 432. A connecting rod 434 is hinged to the bottom of the connecting rod 433. The outer surface of the connecting rod 434 is slidably connected to the inside of the base 1. Among them, the side of connecting rod 2 434 away from connecting rod 1 433 is in contact with spring 2 435.
[0026] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: In the sheet metal processing flow, the sheet metal to be processed is first accurately placed inside the mold 413. Then, the stamping module 22 is activated, and its stamping head applies pressure to the sheet metal to begin the folding operation. During the stamping process, the sheet metal moves downward due to the action of the stamping head. This movement generates a squeezing force on the ejector block 432, causing the ejector block 432 to move downward. The downward movement of the ejector block 432 drives the connected connecting rod 1 433. The movement of the connecting rod 1 433 further drives the connecting rod 2 434 to move. During the movement, the connecting rod 2 434 compresses the spring 2 435. After being compressed, the spring 2 435 deforms and accumulates elastic force. When the folding of the sheet metal is completed, the stamping module 22 retracts the stamping head according to the set program. At this time, the compressed spring 2 435 will be released through the mechanical linkage device. The previously accumulated elastic force is released, causing the ejector block 432 to spring back to its initial position. During the return process, the ejector block 432 applies an upward force to the plate material on it, thereby ejecting the plate material from the mold 413. Immediately afterwards, the electric push rod 312 is activated, which increases the extension length of its output rod, thereby driving the push plate 313 to move smoothly to the right. During the movement, the push plate 313 will contact the ejected plate material and push it away for subsequent processing or collection. In addition, when the mold 413 needs to be replaced during actual production, the push rod 411 is pushed inward. After being pushed, the push rod 411 will drive the locking strip 422 to move backward. When the locking strip 422 moves to a certain position, it no longer locks the latch 421. At this time, the mold 413 can be easily removed from the equipment and replaced with a new mold to meet the processing needs of different plates.
