AI Technical Summary
[0003]现有的弯折机模具在进行U型折弯时,通常会设置顶针机构,以便在折弯完成后将板材从模具中顶出,然而,在实际操作中,由于板材在折弯过程中受到强烈的塑性变形,尤其是较厚的板材或高强度的金属材料,往往会在折弯后紧密包覆在上模(凸模)的外侧,导致顶针的推力无法有效传递至板材,出现退料困难的问题
[0015] This invention adds a chuck structure to the lower die that rotates synchronously with the bending action. During the bending process, the chuck can abut against the upper surface of the sheet metal at the appropriate time, thereby providing a reverse constraint force when the upper die returns. This effectively prevents the sheet metal from being covered by the outer side of the upper die due to plastic deformation and friction. This design can significantly improve the limitations of traditional ejector mechanisms during material ejection. It is especially suitable for U-shaped bending of small parts. It not only reduces the risk of workpiece deformation and die wear, but also improves the stability and efficiency of material ejection, ensuring that the bent sheet metal accurately detaches from the upper die, and guaranteeing production continuity and consistent forming quality.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bending machine molds, specifically a bending machine mold with active material ejection. Background Technology
[0002] Bending machine dies are specialized tools used for bending and forming metal sheets. They typically consist of upper and lower dies. Pressure is applied to bend the sheet at a preset angle. The dies are mostly made of high-strength alloy steel, which is heat-treated to improve wear resistance. The upper die (punch) and lower die (concave) work together to form a V-shaped or U-shaped groove, which determines the bending angle and shape. Their design must take into account the sheet thickness, bending radius, and springback compensation. They are widely used in sheet metal processing, automobile manufacturing, and other fields. They can efficiently complete precise bending operations and are key process equipment for metal forming.
[0003] Existing bending machine dies typically incorporate ejector pin mechanisms for U-shaped bending to eject the sheet metal from the die after bending. However, in practice, due to the intense plastic deformation of the sheet metal during bending, especially for thicker sheets or high-strength metals, the sheet metal often tightly wraps around the outer side of the upper die (punch) after bending. This prevents the ejector pin's thrust from being effectively transmitted to the sheet metal, resulting in difficulties in material removal.
[0004] In summary, to improve the material ejection efficiency of bending machine dies during U-shaped bending, it is necessary to solve the problem that parts tightly wrap around the upper die due to plastic deformation and friction, preventing the ejector pins from ejecting properly. This will enable the die to complete material ejection stably and efficiently, ensuring smooth production and workpiece quality. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0024] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 6 An active unloading bending machine mold includes a base plate 1, a lower mold 2 mounted on the base plate 1, an upper mold 3 disposed on the upper side of the lower mold 2, a plurality of slots on the lower mold 2, a rotating shaft 4 rotatably connected inside the slots, a paddle 5 and a crank arm 6 fixed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 4, a pawl 7 connected to the end of the crank arm 6 by a spring, a ratchet 8 fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 4, a sliding assembly disposed on the outer side of the lower mold 2, a ratchet tooth 10 disposed on the sliding assembly, a lifting assembly for ejecting parts disposed on the lower mold 2, and a positioning mechanism for connecting to the hydraulic end of the bending machine disposed on the upper mold 3.
[0025] It should be noted that during bending, the upper mold 3 presses down and contacts the paddle 5, which drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4 then drives the ratchet 8 and the crank arm 6 to rotate. The engagement of the ratchet 8 and the ratchet tooth 10 can prevent the rotating shaft 4 from rotating back, ultimately causing the end of the chuck 7 to rotate to the upper side of the sheet. When the upper mold 3 returns, the chuck 7 provides a restraining force to prevent the sheet from moving upward with the upper mold 3. At the same time, the lifting component pushes the sheet upward, thereby effectively preventing the sheet from covering the outside of the upper mold 3 and achieving active and reliable material removal.
[0026] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding assembly includes a guide sleeve 91 fixed to the outside of the lower mold 2, a slide rod 92 slidably connected inside the guide sleeve 91, and a pull block 93 fixed to the end of the slide rod 92. The slide rod 92 is fixedly connected to the ratchet 10.
[0027] It should be noted that by setting the guide sleeve 91 and the slide bar 92, the sliding slide bar 92 can make the ratchet 10 disengage from the tooth groove of the ratchet 8, thereby releasing the lock on the ratchet 8.
[0028] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lifting assembly includes a mounting hole 111 on the lower mold 2, a lifting spring disposed inside the mounting hole 111, a ejector pin 112 fixed to the end of the lifting spring, and a top plate 113 fixed to the ejector pin 112. The ejector pin 112 is slidably connected to the mounting hole 111.
[0029] It should be noted that the lifting spring provides an auxiliary lifting force for the bent parts, which, together with the constraint of the chuck 7, ensures that the bent sheet can be smoothly released.
[0030] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 4 to 6 The positioning mechanism includes a moving component disposed on the upper mold 3, a driving component disposed on the moving component, a rotating component disposed on the side of the moving component, and a locking component disposed on the rotating component.
[0031] It should be noted that this positioning mechanism is responsible for achieving stable and rapid connection and positioning between the upper mold 3 and the hydraulic actuator of the bending machine.
[0032] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 4 to 6 The moving component includes a guide rail 121 fixed on the upper mold 3, a rack 122 disposed inside the guide rail 121, and a positioning bar 123 fixed on the rack 122. The positioning bar 123 is slidably connected to the guide rail 121.
[0033] It should be noted that the rack 122 can slide along the inner surface of the guide rail 121 through the cooperation of the positioning strip 123.
[0034] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 4 to 6 The drive assembly includes two supports 124 fixed on the upper mold 3, a lead screw 125 rotatably connected between the two supports 124, and a knob 126 fixed to the end of the lead screw 125. The knob 126 is used to drive the lead screw 125 to rotate. The lead screw 125 passes through the rack 122 and is threadedly connected to the rack 122.
[0035] It should be noted that rotating the knob 126 can drive the lead screw 125 to rotate, and when the lead screw 125 rotates, it can drive the rack 122, which is threadedly engaged with it, to move inside the guide rail 121.
[0036] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 4 to 6 The rotating assembly includes multiple gears 127 rotatably connected to the upper mold 3 and a mating block 128 fixed to the gears 127. The multiple gears 127 are evenly spaced and all of them mesh with the rack 122.
[0037] It should be noted that since the rack 122 meshes with the gear 127, when the rack 122 moves, it can drive multiple gears 127 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the mating block 128 to rotate.
[0038] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 6 The engaging assembly includes a locking block 129 fixed to the outside of the engaging block 128, an engaging sleeve 1211 sleeved on the outside of the engaging block 128, a cavity 1212 opened inside the engaging sleeve 1211, and a fixing plate 1210 fixed to the top of the engaging sleeve 1211. The fixing plate 1210 is fixedly connected to the hydraulic end of the bending machine, and the engaging block 128 is slidably connected to the engaging sleeve 1211.
[0039] It should be noted that during docking, the connector is inserted into the docking sleeve 1211, and then the rack 122 is moved to rotate the connector. When fully inserted, the locking block 129 is located inside the cavity 1212. Thus, the rotation of the connector can cause the locking block 129 to shift off the slot inside the docking sleeve 1211, thereby achieving quick locking between the connector and the docking sleeve 1211.
[0040] Working Principle: When the bending operation starts, the hydraulic end of the bending machine drives the upper die 3 to press down. Its bottom first contacts the paddle 5 installed in the slot of the lower die 2, forcing the paddle 5 to drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4 synchronously drives the crank arm 6 and ratchet 8 fixed on it to rotate. The pawl 7 at the end of the crank arm 6 rotates to the upper surface of the sheet metal. At the same time, the ratchet 8 engages and locks with the ratchet tooth 10 at the front end of the slide bar 92 to prevent the rotating shaft 4 from rotating back. After the bending is completed, the upper die 3 returns to the starting position. At this time, the pawl 7 continues to press against the upper surface of the sheet metal to form a constraint, preventing the sheet metal from moving upward with the upper die 3 due to the covering force. At the same time, the ejector pin 112 in the mounting hole 111 of the lower die 2 pushes the sheet metal upward under the push of the lifting spring. The constraint force of the pawl 7 and the ejection force of the ejector pin 112 work together to ensure that the sheet metal is accurately separated from the upper die 3. The locking of the rotating shaft 4 needs to be released. When the operator manually slides the slide bar 92 inside the guide sleeve 91, the ratchet 10 can be disengaged from the tooth groove of the ratchet 8. The positioning of the upper mold 3 is achieved by operating the knob 126. Rotating the knob 126 drives the lead screw 125 to rotate, which drives the rack 122 to slide along the guide rail 121. The rack 122 meshes with multiple equidistantly distributed gears 127, causing the mating blocks 128 on the gears 127 to rotate. When the connector of the hydraulic end of the bending machine is inserted into the cavity 1212 of the mating sleeve 1211, the locking block 129 on the outside of the mating block 128 is screwed into the internal groove of the mating sleeve 1211 to achieve quick locking. Rotating the knob 126 in the opposite direction will release the locking.
