Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal processing equipment technology, and in particular to a sheet metal cable tray bending and positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] Sheet metal bending machines are indispensable key equipment in the sheet metal processing industry, used to bend metal sheets into shape at predetermined angles. When processing large or heavy sheet metal workpieces, such as cable trays, a front support device is usually installed in front of the bending machine to support the workpiece and prevent it from sagging or tilting due to gravity, thereby ensuring bending accuracy.

[0003] Most existing front-mounted material support devices have a relatively simple structure, typically consisting of a manually movable support arm. When processing sheet metal parts of different widths or requiring bending at different locations, operators must manually loosen the fixing bolts of the support arm, move it to its approximate position, and then retighten it. Similarly, the positioning blocks on the support arm also require manual adjustment by loosening screws. The entire adjustment process relies entirely on the operator's experience and manual measurement, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming but also makes it difficult to guarantee positioning accuracy.

[0004] In mass production, the drawbacks of this manual adjustment method are particularly prominent. Repeated measurement and tightening operations significantly reduce production efficiency, and due to human error, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the bending position of each product, leading to a lower product qualification rate. In addition, the bolt-locking structure is prone to loosening under long-term equipment vibration, further affecting the stability and reliability of positioning, and failing to meet the requirements of modern production for high efficiency and high precision.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes a sheet metal cable tray bending and positioning device to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a sheet metal cable tray bending and positioning device, which aims to improve the problems of cumbersome and laborious support and positioning adjustment operations, low positioning accuracy and heavy reliance on manual labor, and low production efficiency in the existing sheet metal cable tray bending and positioning devices.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sheet metal cable tray bending and positioning device, comprising: a bending machine housing, an upper die, a lower die; and an adjustable front support mechanism disposed on one side of the bending machine housing.

[0008] The adjustable front support mechanism includes a support rod, on which a positioning mechanism is slidably connected.

The locking assembly includes locking teeth connected to the positioning slider and the pressing plate, and a rack fixed to the inner wall of the support rod and engaging with the locking teeth.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustable front support mechanism also includes a sliding plate, a threaded slider, a bolt, a threaded rod, and a throttle handle fixedly connected to the support rod. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the outside of the bending machine housing, and the threaded slider is slidably connected to the inside of the bending machine housing. A guide groove is provided on the side wall of the bending machine housing, and the bolt passes through the guide groove and fixes the sliding plate and the threaded slider together. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the bending machine housing, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the threaded slider. The throttle handle is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod that extends out of the bending machine housing.

[0010] Preferably, the locking assembly further includes a spring fixing plate and a locking spring. The spring fixing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning slider located inside the support rod and the other end of the pressing plate located inside the support rod, respectively. The locking spring is fixedly connected between the spring fixing plates.

[0011] Preferably, the locking teeth are fixed to the top and bottom of the spring fixing plate, and the rack is fixed to the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the support rod.

[0015] Preferably, a table is also fixedly connected to the top of the bending machine housing.

[0016] Preferably, the connection between the bolt and the sliding plate and the threaded slider is a detachable fixed connection.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, by first setting an adjustable front support mechanism consisting of a throttle, a threaded rod, a threaded slider and a sliding plate, the problem of the material support device in the prior art requiring manual movement and adjustment, being cumbersome and laborious, and having low positioning accuracy is solved. This achieves the technical effect of being able to quickly and labor-savingly and accurately adjust the support distance to adapt to the processing needs of sheet metal parts of different widths.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, a positioning mechanism that can slide on the support rod and be unlocked by pressing is provided. The mechanism has a locking tooth and a rack inside, and uses a spring to achieve normal locking. This solves the problem that the positioning block in the prior art relies on screws for fastening, which is inconvenient to adjust and easy to loosen, resulting in inaccurate positioning.
