Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic processing equipment technology, and in particular to a plate frame mechanism for a swimming pool forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of sheet metal processing, especially in the molding, coating, inspection, and handling of large sheets (such as molded sheets for new swimming pools), it is often necessary to fix and move the sheets. The sheet frame mechanisms used in traditional molding machines have relatively simple functions and limited automation, and are gradually failing to meet the needs of modern efficient and flexible production.

[0003] Specifically, traditional panel rack mechanisms are typically designed as fixed structures or can only achieve simple horizontal forward and backward movement. This design has several inherent drawbacks: First, fixed or horizontally movable racks make it difficult for operators to flexibly adjust the spatial position and angle of the panels according to operational needs. For example, when performing double-sided work on panels, it requires the use of hoisting equipment or a large amount of manpower to flip the heavy panels as a whole. This process is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also poses extremely high safety risks, easily causing damage to the panels or personal injury during the flipping process.

[0004] Secondly, due to the lack of vertical adjustment capability, traditional plate racks cannot flexibly adapt to workbenches or processing equipment of different heights, limiting the optimization of production line layout and the smoothness of process connections. When it is necessary to connect the plates with equipment of different heights, additional lifting platforms or complex auxiliary tooling are often required, increasing the complexity and cost of the system.

[0005] Furthermore, traditional clamping mechanisms mostly operate in a fixed posture and cannot move with the plate frame in multiple degrees of freedom. This makes them inadequate in situations requiring clamping or operation at specific angles, limiting their application in complex processes. Clearly, existing technologies require improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a plate frame mechanism for a swimming pool forming machine to solve one or more problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a plate frame mechanism for a swimming pool forming machine, wherein the swimming pool forming machine is provided with a support body for supporting weight, and the plate frame mechanism includes a lifting frame, a rotary support assembly, a clamping frame, and a clamping mechanism; the support body is provided with a lifting drive component, and two lifting frames are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the support body and can be lifted and lowered synchronously under the drive of the lifting drive component; the clamping frame is rotatably installed between the two lifting frames through the rotary support assembly, and the rotary support assembly is provided with a rotary drive component for driving its rotation; the inner side of the clamping frame is provided with multiple clamping mechanisms for clamping and fixing the plate.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism includes a drive cylinder, a pressure rod, and a pair of L-shaped swing arms; the corner portion of the L-shaped swing arms is hinged to the clamping frame, the elastic pressure bar is connected between the upper free ends of the two L-shaped swing arms, the pressure rod is connected between the lower free ends, and the piston rod of the drive cylinder is hinged to the pressure rod.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the pressing surface of the elastic pressure strip is provided with anti-slip serrations.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping frame is provided with transverse tracks on both the front and rear sides, and movable brackets are movably provided on the transverse tracks, with the clamping mechanism mounted on the movable brackets.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the movable support is provided with a transverse drive component, which includes a transverse motor and a gear rack pair. The rack of the gear rack pair is fixedly arranged along the length direction of the transverse track, and the transverse motor is driven by meshing with the rack through a gear.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, the lifting drive component is a lifting cylinder, the cylinder body of the lifting cylinder is vertically fixed to the support body, and its piston rod is connected to the lifting frame through a lifting bracket.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rotary drive component includes a servo motor and a reducer, wherein the servo motor is connected to the internal gear ring of the rotary support assembly via the reducer.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the support body or the lifting frame is provided with a limiting device, the limiting device including a limit switch and a buffer, the limit switch being used to detect the extreme position of the lifting frame, and the buffer being disposed at the end of the movement stroke of the lifting frame.

[0015] As described above, the plate frame mechanism for a swimming pool forming machine of this utility model has the following beneficial effects: By integrating lifting and rotation drive functions, it realizes the composite motion of the plate in two degrees of freedom: vertical lifting and horizontal rotation. This breaks through the limitations of traditional forming machine plate frame mechanisms that are fixed or only move horizontally, allowing the plate to flexibly adjust its spatial posture according to process requirements. It is particularly suitable for the automated flipping operation of large-sized plates such as those used in new swimming pools. The combination of synchronous drive of the double-sided lifting frame and rotation of the rotation support component not only ensures the stability of the plate lifting process and the accuracy of the flipping motion, but also effectively avoids the structural deformation problem caused by unilateral force. Multiple clamping mechanisms set inside the clamping frame can firmly clamp the plate from different positions, ensuring that the workpiece will not slip or fall off during lifting and flipping, significantly improving operational safety. This mechanism modularly integrates lifting, rotation, and clamping functions into one unit, automatically completing the posture change and workstation transfer of the plate without manual assistance or external hoisting equipment. This greatly improves production efficiency and equipment layout flexibility, while reducing labor intensity and operational risks, providing an efficient and reliable solution for the automated processing of large plates.

In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "up, down, left, right," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model; in addition, the terms "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a plate frame mechanism for a swimming pool forming machine. The swimming pool forming machine is provided with a support body 1 for supporting weight. The plate frame mechanism includes a lifting frame 2, a rotary support assembly 3, a clamping frame 4, and a clamping mechanism 5. The support body 1 is provided with a lifting drive component. Two lifting frames 2 are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the support body 1 and can be raised and lowered synchronously under the drive of the lifting drive component. The clamping frame 4 is rotatably installed between the two lifting frames 2 through the rotary support assembly 3. The rotary support assembly 3 is provided with a rotary drive component for driving its rotation. The clamping frame 4 has multiple clamping mechanisms 5 on its inner side for clamping and fixing the plate.

[0021] The specific workflow is as follows: First, the sheet metal is securely fixed to the clamping frame 4 using multiple clamping mechanisms 5. Then, the lifting drive is activated, driving the lifting frames 2 on both sides to move the entire clamping frame 4 and the sheet metal vertically in a synchronized vertical lifting motion to adjust the height. When it is necessary to flip the sheet metal, the rotary drive built into the rotary support assembly 3 is activated, driving the clamping frame 4 and the clamped sheet metal to rotate precisely between the lifting frames 2, thereby completing the switching of the working surface.

[0022] The clamping mechanism 5 includes a drive cylinder 51, a pressure rod 52, and a pair of L-shaped swing arms 53. The corner portions of the L-shaped swing arms 53 are hinged to the clamping frame 4. An elastic pressure strip 54 is connected between the upper free ends of the two L-shaped swing arms 53, and the pressure rod 52 is connected between their lower free ends. The upper pressure rod 52 is provided with the elastic pressure strip 54, and the piston rod of the drive cylinder 51 is hinged to the pressure rod 52. That is, the pair of L-shaped swing arms 53 are symmetrically mounted on the clamping frame 4 with their corners as fulcrums through the hinge axis. An elastic pressure strip 54 is fixedly connected between the upper free portions of the two L-shaped swing arms 53, and a pressure rod 52 is fixedly connected between the lower free portions of the two L-shaped swing arms 53. The cylinder body of a drive cylinder 51 (such as a pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder) is hinged to the clamping frame 4, and the end of its piston rod is hinged to the middle of the lower pressure rod 52. When clamping the sheet metal is required, the piston rod of the drive cylinder 51 extends, pushing the pressure rod 52 upward. Since the L-shaped swing arm 53 acts as a lever, the pressure rod 52 forces the two L-shaped swing arms 53 to rotate synchronously inward around their hinge point, thereby causing the elastic pressure strip 54 to press inward, ultimately clamping the sheet metal from above. The elastic pressure strip 54 provides cushioning, preventing damage to the sheet metal surface. When releasing, the piston rod retracts, and the upper pressure rod 52 is lifted using the lever principle.

[0023] The pressing surface of the elastic pressure strip 54 is provided with anti-slip serrations. Preferably, the anti-slip serrations can be serrated, wavy, or other concave-convex shapes. Their function is to significantly increase the static friction between the elastic pressure strip 54 and the surface of the board, effectively preventing the board from sliding or loosening due to inertia or gravity during flipping or lifting, thus ensuring the reliability and safety of the clamping.

[0024] The clamping frame 4 has transverse tracks on both its front and rear sides. Movable supports are movably mounted on these tracks, and clamping mechanisms 5 are installed on the movable supports. This allows the position of each clamping mechanism 5 to be adjusted flexibly according to the actual size and shape of the clamped plate, greatly improving the adaptability and versatility of the plate holder mechanism. Specifically, the movable support has a transverse drive component 6, which includes a transverse motor and a gear rack pair. The rack 62 of the gear rack pair is fixed along the length of the transverse track. The transverse motor is driven by a gear 61 meshing with the rack 62. When the transverse motor starts, it drives the gear 61 to rotate, and the gear 61 meshes with the fixed rack 62, thereby driving the entire movable support and its clamping mechanisms 5 to move precisely and smoothly along the transverse track.

[0025] The lifting drive component is a lifting cylinder 7. The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 7 is vertically fixed to the support body 1, and its piston rod is connected to the lifting frame 2 through a lifting bracket 8. Specifically, the cylinder bodies of multiple lifting cylinders 7 are vertically and firmly fixed to the bottom of the support body 1 or a corresponding support structure. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 7 extends upward, and its top end is connected to the bottom of the lifting frame 2 through a lifting bracket 8. When oil is supplied to the lifting cylinder 7 to make the piston rod extend synchronously, it lifts the lifting frame 2 to achieve upward movement; when the lifting cylinder 7 is depressurized or oil is supplied in the reverse direction, the piston rod retracts, driving the lifting frame 2 to descend. Using the lifting cylinder 7 as the power source can provide a strong and stable linear thrust.

[0026] The rotary drive component includes a servo motor and a reducer. The servo motor is connected to the internal gear ring of the rotary support assembly 3 via the reducer. The pinion at the output end of the reducer meshes with the internal gear ring of the rotary support assembly 3. The servo motor receives commands from the control system and, after increasing the torque through the reducer, drives the internal gear ring to rotate slowly and precisely. Since the clamping frame 4 is fixed to the internal gear ring or a structure that rotates synchronously with it, high-precision, controllable rotational positioning of the clamping frame 4 with the plate material is achieved.

[0027] To ensure the safety and reliability of the lifting movement, a limiting device is installed on the support body 1 or the lifting frame 2. This device includes a limit switch and a damper. The limit switch is set at the upper and lower limit positions where the lifting frame 2 needs to be restricted. When the lifting frame 2 reaches this position and triggers the limit switch, the switch immediately sends a signal to the control system, cutting off the power to the lifting drive and forcing the lifting to stop. The damper is physically installed at the final end of the lifting frame 2's travel stroke. In the event of an unexpected overtravel by the lifting frame 2, it absorbs the remaining kinetic energy through its damping characteristics, achieving a flexible and effective mechanical limit and preventing damage to the equipment from rigid collisions.

[0028] In summary, the plate frame mechanism for a swimming pool forming machine of this utility model, through the rational configuration of the support body 1, lifting frame 2, rotary support component 3, clamping frame 4, and clamping mechanism 5, integrates the functions of stable clamping, synchronous lifting, and flexible rotation of swimming pool plates, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of the single movement mode of traditional plate frame mechanisms. It uses a lifting drive component to drive the lifting frame 2 to lift synchronously, adapting to the height requirements of different processing stations, facilitating the loading and unloading of plates and process connections. Through the cooperation of the rotary support component 3 and the rotary drive component, the clamping frame 4 can be driven to precisely flip the plates, eliminating the need for manual disassembly and repositioning. This reduces the labor intensity of operators and avoids plate damage and positioning deviations that may occur during manual operation, ensuring product processing accuracy. The multiple clamping mechanisms 5 provide stable clamping for the plates, ensuring stability and safety during lifting and flipping processes, preventing displacement or detachment. The overall structural design is compact and reasonable, realizing the coordinated operation of composite movements such as lifting and rotation. This significantly simplifies the sheet material processing flow, improves the continuity and efficiency of production operations, and better adapts to the large-scale and automated production needs of new swimming pools. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0029] It is understood that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, and all such substitutions or changes should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
