Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal frame technology, specifically to a metal frame forming device. Background Technology

[0002] Angle iron metal frames are widely used in construction, machinery manufacturing, and warehousing equipment due to their stable structure and strong load-bearing capacity. The efficiency and precision of their forming and processing directly affect the quality of downstream products.

[0003] In the traditional production mode of angle iron frame forming, the feeding and material handling processes have long relied on manual operation. Workers need to manually move the angle iron raw materials to the feed port of the forming equipment, and then adjust the position and angle of the angle iron according to the processing requirements before pushing it into the forming mechanism. Although this method has low initial equipment investment and is suitable for small-batch, simple-specification production, it has obvious shortcomings: the manual labor intensity is high, and long-term repetitive handling and pushing can easily lead to fatigue, which not only reduces production efficiency, but may also cause angle iron positioning deviation due to unstable operation, affecting forming accuracy, and even causing safety accidents.

[0004] For large enterprises with large production scale and high automation requirements, robotic arms are often used to complete loading and feeding in order to overcome the limitations of manual operation. Through programming control, robotic arms can accurately grab angle iron and transport it to the forming equipment according to the set path, which effectively improves production efficiency and operational safety, and also reduces human error. However, the cost of robotic arm equipment is relatively high, which brings certain application barriers to some enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-9 The metal frame forming device in this embodiment includes a main frame 1, and a material storage component 2, a transfer component 3, a feeding component 4, a punching component 5 and a forming component 6 integrated on the main frame 1. The components work together to realize the fully automated processing of angle iron raw materials from storage, transfer, feeding, punching to forming.

[0029] like Figure 2-3 The material storage assembly 2 includes a side frame 21 fixed to the front of the main frame 1. The top of the side frame 21 is fixed with no fewer than four side plates 22, and the right side is fixed with a baffle 25. The top of the side plate 22 is fixed with an arch plate 23 and a pair of baffles 24. The arched part of the arch plate 23 is triangular and fits the angle iron. The arch plate 23 helps to stack the raw materials neatly. The baffle limits the sides of the angle iron, and the baffles limit the sides of the stacked angle iron, thereby improving the stability of the placement.

[0030] The side plate 22 has a waist hole, and the stop bar 24 is located in the waist hole and locked in place by a nut. The position of the stop bar 24 can be adjusted to fit angle irons of different widths.

[0031] like Figure 4The transfer assembly 3 includes an upper frame 31 fixed to the top middle section of the main frame 1. A bidirectional moving device 32 is installed on the upper frame 31. The bidirectional moving device 32 is composed of two linear modules, and a profile 33 is fixed to the bottom of the vertical moving end. Trapezoidal plates 34 are fixed to both ends of the bottom of the profile 33. Suction cup devices 35 are installed on the bottom slope of the trapezoidal plates 34. The transfer assembly realizes the automatic transfer of raw materials from the storage assembly 2 to the feeding assembly 4. The bidirectional moving device 32 drives the profile 33 to move back and forth and up and down. The inner slope of the trapezoidal plate 34 is adapted to the shape of the angle iron, so that the suction cup device 35 can ensure adsorption with the side of the angle iron to complete the transfer and feeding.

[0032] like Figure 1 and 5 The feeding assembly 4 includes a movable plate 43 that slides on the top of the main frame 1, and a first rack 42 fixed below the movable plate 43. A first gear motor 44 is mounted on the top of the movable plate 43, and the gear of the first gear motor 44 meshes with the first rack 42. An L-shaped first convex plate 45 is fixed on the top of the movable plate 43 and the top of the tail end of the main frame 1. A triangular arch block is formed on the top of the horizontal plate of the first convex plate 45 on the same horizontal line. A downward-pushing cylinder 46 is mounted on the front of the vertical plate of the first convex plate 45, and a first concave block 47 that matches the triangular arch block is fixed to the piston rod of the downward-pushing cylinder 46. The feeding assembly enables stable conveying of the angle iron to the punching assembly 5. First, after the transfer assembly moves the angle iron to the two sets of first convex plates, when forward conveying is required, the lower top cylinder near the punching assembly drives the first concave block to press the angle iron tightly. Through the first gear motor 44 meshing with the first rack 42, the moving plate 43 is driven to slide along the main frame 1, achieving precise control of the feeding distance. When punching is required, if part of the angle iron is still on the tail end first convex plate, the lower top cylinder 46 drives the first concave block 47 to cooperate with the triangular arch block of the first convex plate 45 to press and fix the angle iron, improving the stability of punching.

[0033] like Figure 6-7 The punching assembly 5 includes a frame plate 51 fixed at the top end of the main frame 1. The right side of the frame plate 51 is sloping. The inner bottom wall of the frame plate 51 is fixed with a pad plate 52, an inner convex plate 56 and a guide block 59 in sequence. A triangular block 53 is formed on the top of the pad block 52. The triangular block and the triangular arch block on the first convex plate 45 are on the same horizontal line. A triangular hole is opened on the right side of the triangular block 53. A push-punch cylinder 54 is installed on the sloping surface of the frame plate 51. The piston rod of the push-punch cylinder 54 is fixed with a triangular punch 55 opposite to the triangular hole. When the angle iron is moved to the triangular block, the push-punch cylinder drives the triangular punch to push out. With the cooperation of the triangular hole, a bending notch can be punched out of the angle iron.

[0034] The inner convex plate 56 is U-shaped, and its inner bottom wall also forms a triangular arch block on the same horizontal line as the triangular block. A pressing cylinder 57 is installed on the inner side of the inner convex plate 56. The piston rod of the pressing cylinder 57 is fixed with a pressing block 58 that matches the triangular arch block of the inner convex plate 56. By pushing out the pressing cylinder, the pressing block can cooperate with the triangular arch block on the inner convex plate to press the angle iron tightly, thereby improving the stability of punching and cutting.

[0035] The guide block 59 is convex in shape, and a downward V-shaped channel is provided on the convex end. The V-shaped channel is on the same horizontal line as the triangular arch block of the inner convex plate, and a knife groove connected to the V-shaped channel is provided on the top. A punching cylinder 510 is fixed on the top of the frame plate 51, and a cutter 511 that can extend into the knife groove to cut the angle iron is fixed on the piston rod of the punching cylinder 510.

[0036] like Figure 8-9 The molding component 6 includes a second rack 65 and a support plate 61 fixed to the top of the head end of the main frame 1, and a slide plate 66 slidably connected above the second rack 65. A vertical plate 68 is fixed to the top of the slide plate 66, and a bottom block 611 is fixed on the same horizontal line as the V-shaped channel. The top of the bottom block 611 is triangular. A clamping cylinder 69 is mounted on the front of the vertical plate 68. A clamping block 610 adapted to the bottom block 611 is fixed to the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 69. A second rack 60 meshing with the second rack 65 is mounted on the bottom of the slide plate 66. The gear motor 67 and the top of the support plate 61 are inclined surfaces. A push cylinder 62 is installed on the inclined surface. The piston rod of the push cylinder 62 is fixed with a push block 63. The second gear motor 67 meshes with the second rack 65 to drive the slide plate 66 to move. The position of the slide plate 66 is adjusted and it is fed forward by the feeding assembly. At the same time, the punching assembly punches out a bending notch. The clamping cylinder 69 drives the clamping block 610 to cooperate with the bottom block 611 to clamp the angle iron. The push cylinder 62 drives the push block 63 to push and bend the positioned angle iron to complete the frame forming.

[0037] The working principle of the above embodiments:

[0038] Angle iron raw materials are stacked on top of the side frame. The triangular arched structure of the arched plate helps to neatly stack the raw materials. Baffles and stop bars limit the sides and sides of the angle iron to ensure stacking stability. The position of the stop bars can be adjusted through the waist holes of the side plate to accommodate angle iron raw materials of different widths. The bidirectional moving device on the upper frame drives the profile to move back and forth and up and down, so that the bottom slope of the trapezoidal plate fits the shape of the angle iron. The suction cup device on the slope of the trapezoidal plate adsorbs the sides of the angle iron, accurately transferring the angle iron in the storage component to the first feeding component. Between the two L-shaped first convex plates, after the angle iron is placed on the triangular arch blocks, the lower top cylinder near the punching assembly drives the first concave block to engage with the triangular arch blocks, pressing the angle iron. The lower top cylinder at the tail end does not operate. Then, the first gear motor meshes with the first rack, driving the moving plate to slide along the main frame, achieving precise feeding of the angle iron to the punching assembly. If the angle iron is still located on the tail end first convex plate during punching, the lower top cylinder at that position drives the first concave block to press the angle iron, ensuring punching stability. When the angle iron is transferred, it will... Supported by a triangular block, extending between the inner convex plate and the lower pressure block, the lower pressure cylinder drives the lower pressure block to press the angle iron, coordinating with the feeding assembly to improve the stability of the punching process. The push-punch cylinder drives the triangular punch to push out, coordinating with the triangular hole of the triangular block to punch a bending notch in the angle iron, thus continuing to convey it forward and passing through the V-shaped channel of the guide block. First, the second gear motor meshes with the second rack, driving the slide plate to move to the appropriate position. After the position is determined, the angle iron is transferred to the bottom block, and the pressing cylinder drives the pressing block. In conjunction with the base block, the angle iron is pressed down. The pusher cylinder on the support plate drives the pusher block to push out, pushing against the already punched bending notch of the angle iron, causing the angle iron to bend along the notch. The above operation is repeated to feed the angle iron forward until it is almost formed. The last bent section is then cut into the cutting groove by the cutting cylinder driven by the punching cylinder. When the last section is bent, the second gear motor and the second rack work together to align the last section with the pusher block, completing the final bend and the final forming.

[0039] In summary, this device reduces repetitive labor for workers and avoids fatigue operation. Compared with robotic arms, it has a simpler structure, lower manufacturing and maintenance costs, and is suitable for the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, while also meeting the automation requirements of large-scale production.
