Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention belongs to the technical field of quenching machines, specifically relating to a compact steel plate continuous quenching machine.

BACKGROUND

To enhance the strength of steel plates, quenching technology is one of the important methods. Therefore, quenching technology is widely used in the production process of tempered medium and heavy plates. During the quenching process, the quenching machine sprays a large amount of cooling water onto the steel plate through slit nozzles to achieve cooling of the steel plate.

In existing quenching machines, metal hoses are used to connect the water supply pipeline to the nozzles. The telescopic feature of the metal hoses allows them to adapt to the vertical movement of the nozzles. However, with this method, when the metal hoses are not extended, they need to be extendable for storage. As a result, the metal hoses occupy a significant amount of space, leading to the product requiring a large footprint and reducing the user experience.

SUMMARY

To address the issues in the prior art where metal hoses occupy a large amount of space when extendable, resulting in a bulky product and reduced user experience, the invention provides a compact steel plate continuous quenching machine. By enabling the third water supply pipeline assembly to move within the water jacket to adapt to the height of the moving frame, the invention eliminates the need for metal hoses to connect the second nozzle assembly to the second water supply pipeline assembly.

Advantages of the present invention are as follows

1. By enabling the third water supply pipeline assembly to move within the water jacket and the second water supply pipeline assembly and connecting it to the moving frame, the moving frame can drive the third water supply pipeline assembly to move vertically within the water jacket and the second water supply pipeline assembly. This ensures that the third water supply pipeline assembly remains connected to the water jacket and the second water supply pipeline assembly while adjusting its length outside the water jacket and the second water supply pipeline assembly to adapt to the height of the moving frame. This shortens the distance between the second nozzle assembly and the steel plate, ensuring that the second nozzle assembly can spray water onto the steel plate and avoid water waste. Moreover, by enabling the third water supply pipeline assembly to move within the water jacket and the second water supply pipeline assembly to adapt to the height of the moving frame, the invention saves space occupied by extendable metal hoses, making the product more compact, reducing its footprint, and enhancing the user experience. It also avoids the reduction in the service life of metal hoses due to repeated folding, improving product quality and lifespan while reducing costs. Additionally, by directly embedding the third water supply pipeline assembly into the water jacket and the second water supply pipeline assembly, the installation difficulty is reduced compared to connecting metal hoses to the second water supply pipeline assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

2. By connecting one end of the flexible joint to the first water supply pipeline body and the other end to the second water supply pipeline body, and connecting the second water supply pipeline body to the moving frame, the moving frame and the second water supply pipeline body can move synchronously. At the same time, the flexible joint allows for elastic connection between the first and second water supply pipeline bodies, compensating for any horizontal displacement of the moving frame and preventing damage to the water jacket caused by rigid connections. This improves product quality.

3. By directly driving the first transmission shaft and the first transmission roller with the first drive mechanism, the invention eliminates the need for couplings, reducing product costs and improving transmission efficiency while avoiding energy loss. This achieves energy savings and reduces product operating costs. Additionally, installing the first drive mechanism on one side of the load-bearing frame reduces the product's footprint, enhancing its compactness.

4. By installing the first water deflector on the outer wall of the first transmission shaft, water falling on the shaft is directed into the deflector, preventing it from entering the first support base and protecting the bearings inside. The first sealing sleeve, installed between the first support base and the first drive mechanism, seals the first transmission shaft, preventing water from entering the support base and drive mechanism, thereby improving the product's waterproofing.

5. By directly driving the second transmission shaft and the second transmission roller with the second drive mechanism, the invention eliminates the need for couplings, reducing product costs and improving transmission efficiency while avoiding energy loss. This achieves energy savings and reduces product operating costs. Additionally, installing the second drive mechanism on one side of the load-bearing frame reduces the product's footprint, enhancing its compactness.

6. By installing the second water deflector on the outer wall of the second transmission shaft, water falling on the shaft is directed into the deflector, preventing it from entering the second support base and protecting the bearings inside. The second sealing sleeve, installed between the second support base and the second drive mechanism, seals the second transmission shaft, preventing water from entering the support base and drive mechanism, thereby improving the product's waterproofing.

7. By enabling the mounting brackets to drive multiple first guide wheels along the sides of the tracks and the second guide wheel along the end face of the tracks, the moving frame is guided and stabilized during vertical movement, preventing deviations and improving stability.

8. By driving the first synchronizing shaft with the third drive mechanism and connecting it to the input shafts of two steering gears, the third drive mechanism can drive both steering gears simultaneously. The output shafts of the steering gears are directly connected to the input ends of two screw lifts and connected to the other two screw lifts via second synchronizing shafts. This allows one drive mechanism to drive four screw lifts simultaneously, reducing production costs and ensuring synchronized operation of the screw lifts, thereby improving the stability of the moving frame during vertical movement.

9. By enabling the flexible mechanism to rotate relative to the lifting rod of the screw lift, the flexible mechanism can absorb forces exerted on the pressing transmission assembly by the steel plate, preventing damage to the flexible mechanism and improving product quality.

10. When the lifting rod drives the moving frame vertically and the pressing transmission assembly contacts the steel plate, the spring absorbs the forces exerted on the moving frame, further preventing damage to the flexible mechanism and extending the product's lifespan.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following describes the invention in detail with reference to specific embodiments and FIGS. 1-10, but the invention is not limited to these embodiments.

A compact steel plate continuous quenching machine, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, includes: a load-bearing frame 10, a support transmission assembly 11, a water supply mechanism 12, multiple first water supply pipeline assemblies 13, a first nozzle assembly, a support frame 14, a lifting mechanism 15, a moving frame 16, a pressing transmission assembly 17, multiple second water supply pipeline assemblies 18, a water jacket 19, multiple third water supply pipeline assemblies 20, and a second nozzle assembly. The support transmission assembly 11 is installed on the load-bearing frame 10. The water supply mechanism 12 is located on one side of the load-bearing frame 10. One end of multiple first water supply pipeline assemblies 13 is connected to the water supply mechanism 12, and the other end is located below the support transmission assembly 11. The first nozzle assembly is installed at the other end of the first water supply pipeline assembly 13 and is located below the support transmission assembly 11. The support frame 14 is installed on the load-bearing frame 10. The lifting mechanism 15 is installed on the support frame 14. The moving frame 16 is embedded within the support frame 14 and connected to the lifting mechanism 15, with the moving frame 16 located above the load-bearing frame 10. The pressing transmission assembly 17 is installed below the moving frame 16 and above the support transmission assembly 11. One end of multiple second water supply pipeline assemblies 18 is connected to the water supply mechanism 12, and the other end is installed on the outer side of the support frame 14, located above the moving frame 16. The water jacket 19 is a hollow cavity with openings at both ends, and one end of multiple water jackets 19 is connected to the other end of the second water supply pipeline assembly 18. One end of multiple third water supply pipeline assemblies 20 is embedded within the water jackets 19, connected to the water jackets 19, and connected to the moving frame 16. The second nozzle assembly is installed at the other end of the third water supply pipeline assembly 20 and is located above the pressing transmission assembly 17.

By installing the support transmission assembly 11 on the load-bearing frame 10, the load-bearing frame 10 supports the support transmission assembly 11, enabling it to move the steel plate placed on it. The water supply mechanism 12, located on one side of the load-bearing frame 10, connects to multiple first water supply pipeline assemblies 13, allowing water to flow into them. The first nozzle assembly, installed at the other end of the first water supply pipeline assembly 13 and located below the support transmission assembly 11, sprays water onto the bottom of the steel plate, achieving rapid cooling and quenching. The support frame 14, installed on the load-bearing frame 10, supports the lifting mechanism 15. The moving frame 16, embedded within the support frame 14 and connected to the lifting mechanism 15, moves vertically within the support frame 14, adjusting its distance from the load-bearing frame 10. The pressing transmission assembly 17, installed below the moving frame 16 and above the support transmission assembly 11, moves vertically with the moving frame 16, ensuring it contacts the top of the steel plate. This prevents slippage and stabilizes the steel plate's movement. The second water supply pipeline assembly 18, connected to the water supply mechanism 12 and installed on the outer side of the support frame 14, supplies water to the water jacket 19. The third water supply pipeline assembly 20, embedded within the water jacket 19 and connected to the moving frame 16, moves vertically within the water jacket 19, adjusting its length outside the water jacket 19. The second nozzle assembly, installed at the other end of the third water supply pipeline assembly 20 and located above the pressing transmission assembly 17, sprays water onto the steel plate, achieving the quenching effect.

In practical use, the steel plate is placed on the support transmission assembly 11. The lifting mechanism 15 is activated to lower the moving frame 16 and the pressing transmission assembly 17 until the pressing transmission assembly 17 contacts the steel plate. As the moving frame 16 moves downward, the third water supply pipeline assembly 20, connected to the moving frame 16, also moves downward within the water jacket 19, increasing its length outside the water jacket 19 while maintaining a connection with the water jacket 19. The water supply mechanism 12 is then activated, supplying water to the first nozzle assembly through the first water supply pipeline assembly 13, which sprays water onto the steel plate. Simultaneously, water flows through the second water supply pipeline assembly 18, the water jacket 19, and the third water supply pipeline assembly 20 to the second nozzle assembly, which also sprays water onto the steel plate. The support transmission assembly 11 and the pressing transmission assembly 17 are activated to move the steel plate, allowing the first and second nozzle assemblies to spray water onto different parts of the steel plate, achieving the quenching effect.

With this structure, the third water supply pipeline assembly 20 moves within the water jacket 19, connected to the moving frame 16, allowing the moving frame 16 to drive the third water supply pipeline assembly 20 vertically within the water jacket 19. This ensures the third water supply pipeline assembly 20 remains connected to the water jacket 19 and the second water supply pipeline assembly 18 while adjusting its length outside the water jacket 19 to adapt to the height of the moving frame 16. This shortens the distance between the second nozzle assembly and the steel plate, ensuring the second nozzle assembly sprays water onto the steel plate, avoiding water waste. By enabling the third water supply pipeline assembly 20 to move within the water jacket 19, the invention saves space occupied by extendable metal hoses, making the product more compact, reducing its footprint, and enhancing the user experience. It also avoids the reduction in the service life of metal hoses due to repeated folding, improving product quality and lifespan while reducing costs. Additionally, by directly embedding the third water supply pipeline assembly 20 into the water jacket 19, the installation difficulty is reduced compared to connecting metal hoses to the second water supply pipeline assembly 18, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

Specifically, the sealing ring is made of rubber or silicone.

In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the third water supply pipeline assembly 20 includes: a first water supply pipeline body 201, a sealing ring, a flexible joint 203, and a second water supply pipeline body 204. The first water supply pipeline body 201 is a hollow cavity with openings at both ends, and one end is embedded within the water jacket 19. The sealing ring is an elastic body, with at least two sealing rings sleeved on the outer side of one end of the first water supply pipeline body 201 and installed within the water jacket 19. One end of the flexible joint 203 is connected to the other end of the first water supply pipeline body 201. The second water supply pipeline body 204 is a hollow cavity with openings at both ends, and one end is connected to the other end of the flexible joint 203. The second nozzle assembly is installed at the other end of the second water supply pipeline body 204. The second water supply pipeline body 204 is connected to the moving frame 16.

By embedding one end of the first water supply pipeline body 201 within the water jacket 19, the first water supply pipeline body 201 can move within the water jacket 19. By sleeving at least two sealing rings on the outer side of one end of the first water supply pipeline body 201 and installing them within the water jacket 19, the sealing rings seal the gap between the first water supply pipeline body 201 and the water jacket 19, preventing water from leaking out and avoiding water waste. By connecting one end of the flexible joint 203 to the first water supply pipeline body 201 and the other end to the second water supply pipeline body 204, and connecting the second water supply pipeline body 204 to the moving frame 16, the moving frame 16 and the second water supply pipeline body 204 can move synchronously. The flexible joint 203 allows for elastic connection between the first and second water supply pipeline bodies, compensating for any horizontal displacement of the moving frame 16 and preventing damage to the water jacket 19 caused by rigid connections, thereby improving product quality.

Specifically, the flexible joint is a rubber joint, bellows joint, or similar.

In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the support transmission assembly 11 includes: a first support base 111, a first transmission shaft 112, a first transmission roller 113, and a first drive mechanism 114. Multiple first support bases 111 are fixed on both sides of the load-bearing frame 10, arranged in pairs. Multiple first transmission shafts 112 pass through the first support bases 111 and are rotatably connected to them. The first transmission roller 113 is a hollow cavity with openings at both ends, and the corresponding first transmission shafts 112 are embedded at both ends of the first transmission roller 113. Multiple first drive mechanisms 114 are installed on one side of the load-bearing frame 10 and connected to the first transmission shafts 112. The first transmission roller 113 and the first transmission shaft 112 are interference-fitted.

By embedding the corresponding first transmission shafts 112 at both ends of the first transmission roller 113 and interference-fitting them, the first transmission shafts 112 and the first transmission roller 113 rotate synchronously. The first support bases 111, fixed on both sides of the load-bearing frame 10, support the first transmission shafts 112 and the first transmission roller 113, allowing the first transmission roller 113 to rotate between the first support bases 111 and move the steel plate. The first drive mechanism 114, installed on one side of the load-bearing frame 10 and connected to the first transmission shaft 112, directly drives the first transmission shaft 112 and the first transmission roller 113.

With this structure, the first drive mechanism 114 directly drives the first transmission shaft 112 and the first transmission roller 113, eliminating the need for couplings, reducing product costs, and improving transmission efficiency while avoiding energy loss. This achieves energy savings and reduces product operating costs. Additionally, installing the first drive mechanism 114 on one side of the load-bearing frame reduces the product's footprint, enhancing its compactness.

In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the support transmission assembly 11 further includes: a first water deflector 115 and a first sealing sleeve 116. The first water deflector 115 is installed on the outer wall of the first transmission shaft 112. The first sealing sleeve 116 is an elastic body, sleeved on the outer side of the first transmission shaft 112 connected to the first drive mechanism 114, and located between the first support base 111 and the first drive mechanism 114.

By installing the first water deflector 115 on the outer wall of the first transmission shaft 112, water falling on the shaft is directed into the deflector, preventing it from entering the first support base 111 and protecting the bearings inside. The first sealing sleeve 116, installed between the first support base 111 and the first drive mechanism 114, seals the first transmission shaft 112, preventing water from entering the support base and drive mechanism, thereby improving the product's waterproofing.

Specifically, when water enters the first water deflector 115 and the first transmission shaft 112 rotates, the water is thrown out by centrifugal force, allowing the first water deflector 115 to continuously block water.

In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the pressing transmission assembly 17 includes: a second support base 171, a second transmission shaft 172, a second transmission roller 173, and a second drive mechanism 174. Multiple second support bases 171 are fixed on both sides of the load-bearing frame 10, arranged in pairs. Multiple second transmission shafts 172 pass through the second support bases 171 and are rotatably connected to them. The second transmission roller 173 is a hollow cavity with openings at both ends, and the corresponding second transmission shafts 172 are embedded at both ends of the second transmission roller 173. Multiple second drive mechanisms 174 are installed on one side of the load-bearing frame 10, connected to the second transmission shafts 172, and located above the first drive mechanisms 114. The second transmission roller 173 and the second transmission shaft 172 are interference-fitted.

By embedding the corresponding second transmission shafts 172 at both ends of the second transmission roller 173 and interference-fitting them, the second transmission shafts 172 and the second transmission roller 173 rotate synchronously. The second support bases 171, fixed on both sides of the load-bearing frame 10, support the second transmission shafts 172 and the second transmission roller 173, allowing the second transmission roller 173 to rotate between the second support bases 171 and move the steel plate. The second drive mechanism 174, installed on one side of the load-bearing frame 10 and connected to the second transmission shaft 172, directly drives the second transmission shaft 172 and the second transmission roller 173.

With this structure, the second drive mechanism 174 directly drives the second transmission shaft 172 and the second transmission roller 173, eliminating the need for couplings, reducing product costs, and improving transmission efficiency while avoiding energy loss. This achieves energy savings and reduces product operating costs. Additionally, installing the second drive mechanism 174 on one side of the load-bearing frame reduces the product's footprint, enhancing its compactness.

In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the pressing transmission assembly 17 further includes: a second water deflector 175 and a second sealing sleeve 176. The second water deflector 175 is installed on the outer wall of the second transmission shaft 172. The second sealing sleeve 176 is an elastic body, sleeved on the outer side of the second transmission shaft 172 connected to the second drive mechanism 174, and located between the second support base 171 and the second drive mechanism 174.

By installing the second water deflector 175 on the outer wall of the second transmission shaft 172, water falling on the shaft is directed into the deflector, preventing it from entering the second support base 171 and protecting the bearings inside. The second sealing sleeve 176, installed between the second support base 171 and the second drive mechanism 174, seals the second transmission shaft 172, preventing water from entering the support base and drive mechanism, thereby improving the product's waterproofing.

Specifically, when water enters the second water deflector 175 and the second transmission shaft 172 rotates, the water is thrown out by centrifugal force, allowing the second water deflector 175 to continuously block water.

In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the compact continuous quenching machine includes: tracks 21, mounting brackets 22, first guide wheels 23, and second guide wheels 24. At least two tracks 21 are installed on the inner walls of the support frame 14, located on both sides of the moving frame 16. At least two mounting brackets 22 are fixed on both sides of the moving frame 16. At least two first guide wheels 23 are rotatably connected to the mounting brackets 22 and in contact with both sides of the tracks 21. The second guide wheel 24 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 22 and in contact with the end face of the track 21 near the moving frame 16.

By installing at least two tracks 21 on the inner walls of the support frame 14 and positioning them on both sides of the moving frame 16, the support frame 14 supports the tracks 21. By fixing at least two mounting brackets 22 on both sides of the moving frame 16 and rotatably connecting at least two first guide wheels 23 to the mounting brackets 22, the first guide wheels 23 rotate relative to the mounting brackets 22. When the moving frame 16 moves vertically, the first guide wheels 23 roll along the sides of the tracks 21. By rotatably connecting the second guide wheel 24 to the mounting bracket 22 and positioning it in contact with the end face of the track 21 near the moving frame 16, the second guide wheel 24 rotates relative to the mounting bracket 22. When the moving frame 16 moves vertically, the second guide wheel 24 rolls along the end face of the track 21.

With this structure, the mounting brackets 22 drive the first guide wheels 23 along the sides of the tracks 21 and the second guide wheel 24 along the end face of the tracks 21, guiding and stabilizing the moving frame 16 during vertical movement, preventing deviations and improving stability.

In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the lifting mechanism 15 includes: a screw lift 151, a steering gear 152, a first synchronizing shaft 153, a second synchronizing shaft 154, and a third drive mechanism 155. The screw lift 151 is equipped with a lifting rod, and four screw lifts 151 are fixed on the top of the support frame 14, with their lifting rods connected to the moving frame 16. The steering gear 152 is equipped with an input shaft and an output shaft, and two steering gears 152 are installed on one side of the top of the support frame 14. The output shafts of the two steering gears 152 are connected to the input ends of the two screw lifts 151 on one side of the support frame 14. Both ends of the first synchronizing shaft 153 are connected to the input shafts of the two steering gears 152. One end of the two second synchronizing shafts 154 is connected to the output shafts of the two steering gears 152, and the other end is connected to the input ends of the two screw lifts 151 on the other side of the support frame 14. The third drive mechanism 155 is installed on the support frame 14 and connected to the first synchronizing shaft 153.

By fixing four screw lifts 151 on the top of the support frame 14 and connecting their lifting rods to the moving frame 16, the screw lifts 151 drive the moving frame 16 vertically. By installing two steering gears 152 on one side of the top of the support frame 14 and connecting their output shafts to the input ends of the two screw lifts 151 on one side of the support frame 14, the steering gears 152 drive the screw lifts 151 when activated. By connecting one end of the two second synchronizing shafts 154 to the output shafts of the two steering gears 152 and the other end to the input ends of the two screw lifts 151 on the other side of the support frame 14, the steering gears 152 drive the other two screw lifts 151 via the second synchronizing shafts 154. By installing the third drive mechanism 155 on the support frame 14 and connecting it to the first synchronizing shaft 153, the third drive mechanism 155 drives the first synchronizing shaft 153, activating the steering gears 152.

With this structure, the third drive mechanism 155 drives the first synchronizing shaft 153, which in turn drives the two steering gears 152. The output shafts of the steering gears 152 are directly connected to the input ends of the two screw lifts 151 and connected to the other two screw lifts 151 via the second synchronizing shafts 154. This allows one drive mechanism (the third drive mechanism 155) to drive four screw lifts 151 simultaneously, reducing production costs and ensuring synchronized operation of the screw lifts 151, thereby improving the stability of the moving frame 16 during vertical movement.

In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the lifting mechanism 15 further includes: a first connecting seat 156, a flexible mechanism 157, and a second connecting seat 1575. The first connecting seat 156 is equipped with a first connecting groove and is connected to the lifting rod of the screw lift 151. One end of the flexible mechanism 157 is embedded in the first connecting groove and rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 156, while the other end is fixed on the moving frame 16.

By connecting the first connecting seat 156 to the lifting rod of the screw lift 151, the screw lift 151 drives the first connecting seat 156 vertically. By embedding one end of the flexible mechanism 157 in the first connecting groove and rotatably connecting it to the first connecting seat 156, the flexible mechanism 157 can rotate relative to the lifting rod of the screw lift 151. By fixing the other end of the flexible mechanism 157 to the moving frame 16, the flexible mechanism 157 drives the moving frame 16 vertically, allowing the screw lift 151 to move the moving frame 16.

With this structure, the flexible mechanism 157 can rotate relative to the lifting rod of the screw lift 151. When the lifting rod drives the moving frame 16 vertically and the pressing transmission assembly 17 contacts the steel plate, the flexible mechanism 157 rotates relative to the lifting rod, preventing the force exerted by the steel plate on the pressing transmission assembly 17 from directly acting on the flexible mechanism 157, thereby preventing damage to the flexible mechanism 157 and improving product quality.

In the embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 10, the flexible mechanism 157 includes: a sleeve 1571, a spring 1572, a limiting cover 1573, a telescopic shaft 1574, a second external thread, and a second connecting seat 1575. The sleeve 1571 is a hollow cavity with an opening at one end, and the outer wall of the sleeve 1571 is equipped with a first external thread. The sleeve 1571 is fixed on the moving frame 16. The spring 1572 is embedded in the sleeve 1571, and one end is connected to the bottom of the sleeve 1571. The limiting cover 1573 is a hollow cavity with openings at both ends, and the inner wall is equipped with a first internal thread. The limiting cover 1573 is sleeved on the outer side of the sleeve opening. One end of the telescopic shaft 1574 is embedded in the sleeve 1571 and connected to the other end of the spring 1572, while the other end passes through the limiting cover 1573 and is in contact with it. The second external thread is installed on the outer wall of the other end of the telescopic shaft 1574. The second connecting seat 1575 is equipped with a connecting hole, and the inner wall of the connecting hole is equipped with a second internal thread. The other end of the telescopic shaft 1574 is embedded in the connecting hole, and at least part of the second connecting seat 1575 is embedded in the first connecting groove and rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 156. The first external thread and the first internal thread are matched, and the second external thread and the second internal thread are matched.

By fixing the sleeve 1571 to the moving frame 16, the sleeve 1571 moves vertically with the moving frame 16. By embedding the spring 1572 in the sleeve 1571 and connecting one end to the bottom of the sleeve 1571 and the other end to the telescopic shaft 1574, the sleeve 1571 supports the telescopic shaft 1574 via the spring 1572. By sleeving the limiting cover 1573 on the outer side of the sleeve opening, the limiting cover 1573 is threaded to the sleeve 1571, sealing the sleeve opening. The limiting cover 1573 contacts the telescopic shaft 1574, preventing it from moving out of the sleeve 1571. By embedding the other end of the telescopic shaft 1574 in the connecting hole of the second connecting seat 1575, the telescopic shaft 1574 is threaded to the second connecting seat 1575. By embedding the second connecting seat 1575 in the first connecting groove and rotatably connecting it to the first connecting seat 156, the first connecting seat 156 drives the second connecting seat 1575 vertically.

With this structure, when the lifting rod drives the moving frame 16 vertically and the pressing transmission assembly 17 contacts the steel plate, the spring 1572 absorbs the force exerted on the moving frame 16, further preventing damage to the flexible mechanism 157 and extending the product's lifespan.
