Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ultra-thin metal sheet, particularly to a processing production line and processing method of ultra-thin metal sheet.Description of the Related Art

[0002] Traditional steel processes often use "thickness, toughness, heavy industry" as quality standards, but in order to be suitable for high-precision industries, the field of ultra-thin metal sheet technology is a competitive area for related enterprises.

[0003] The concept of ultra-thin metal sheets originates from ultra-thin precision steel strips. Unlike conventional stainless steel sheets, steel strips with thicknesses ≤0.3mm and as thin as 0.01mm are classified as ultra-thin precision steel strips, representing a specialized field in stainless steel technology. The 'ultra-thin' definition for metal sheets follows this classification.

[0004] Reprocessing ultra-thin metal sheets is inherently a highly challenging technique. This is because the processing of such materials presents the following technical obstacles: Traditional methods, such as screw locking and pressure plate fixing, cannot be used. When the metal sheet is processed (milling or grinding), vibration will be generated. Due to the ultra-thin characteristics of the metal sheet, the vibration will directly lead to the failure of processing.

[0005] The extreme thinness of ultra-thin metal sheets poses significant challenges in manufacturing irregularly shaped sheets with non-uniform thickness and producing tubes from them. In traditional stainless steel tube manufacturing, sheets are first cut to required widths before undergoing coiling and welding processes. Conventional methods yield relatively thick tubes with diameters peaking at approximately 2.00mm-4.00mm. To achieve even finer-diameter tubes, multiple drawing processes are required. During these operations, the tube's diameter narrows while wall thickness diminishes. However, each drawing stage's difficulty correlates with the ratio of predrawing to post-drawing wall thickness. As the number of drawing stages increases, the process becomes exponentially more complex, with tubes becoming prone to fracture during stretching. This makes it impossible to produce ultra-thin yet structurally robust tubes.

[0006] The Chinese patent CN219052473U, filed by the applicant on October 13,2022, describes a production line for ultra-fine seamless metal tubes. The system comprises: a rack, drawing mechanism, positioning mechanism, pre-pressing mechanism, second positioning mechanism, forming mechanism, third positioning mechanism, and welding mechanism. This process utilizes coiled metal sheets as raw materials, where the ultra-thin sheets have irregular shapes. The sheet thickness ranges from 0.02mm to 0.3mm at the thinnest end and 0.05mm to 0.5mm at the thickest end, with 0.02mm-0.2mm being the preferred thickness. A uniform thickness transition zone exists between the thickest and thinnest ends. The manufacturing equipment requires high precision, and the technology remains unlocalized domestically. Although foreign manufacturers can produce irregularly shaped metal sheets, their production processes are not disclosed, and the processing generates difficult-to-dispose chips that may damage machinery.

[0007] Therefore, the existing ultra-thin metal sheet processing production line needs to be improved.SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a super thin sheet processing production line, which can be used to process the metal sheet described in the background , and can achieve high precision.

[0012] In a form shown, the system also includes a leveling mechanism and a detection mechanism. The leveling mechanism, positioned between the positioning mechanism and the mold, receives metal sheets from the positioning mechanism and performs leveling. The detection mechanism, located between the mold and the first material drawing mechanism, receives metal sheets discharged from the mold and conducts thickness detection.

[0013] In a form shown, it also includes a laser embossing mechanism, which is arranged between the second reversing mechanism and the second rack. The laser embossing mechanism is used to receive the metal sheet output from the second reversing mechanism and to perform laser wrinkle on the metal sheet.

[0014] In a form shown, it also includes a controller, and the processing mechanism, the first drawing mechanism, the second drawing mechanism and the laser embossing mechanism are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0015] As a further improvement of the aforementioned technical solution, the mold comprises a pressing plate, a base plate, and a mold seat arranged sequentially from front to back. The pressing plate is equipped with an adjusting mechanism that drives it toward the base plate. A through-slot is provided on the front side wall of the base plate, while a U-shaped groove and a machining window are set on the pressing plate. The tool is vertically arranged in spindle-shaped or gourd-shaped configurations.

[0016] In a form shown, the base plate is provided with a blind hole, the blind hole is located on the side of the through slot away from the tool, the blind hole is provided with a ventilation hole, the ventilation hole communicates with the through slot; it also includes a negative pressure device, the suction port of the negative pressure device is arranged at the opening of the blind hole.

[0019] In a form shown, there is also S10 between S9 and S11, which is to laser emboss the metal sheet.

[0020] The beneficial effect of the present application is that the sheet passes through the through slot, and the processing window is arranged at the through slot, and part of the tools positioned in the processing window Due to the restriction of the processing window, it is easy to detect the installation accuracy of the tool and control the distance between the tool and the processed sheet.

This design prevents sheet material displacement caused by vibration during machining, significantly improving processing accuracy and yield rates while enabling precise cutting. Additionally, the vertically arranged metal sheets allow processed metal chips to fall downward, facilitating easy removal of debris.
