Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of part shaping and processing, and particularly relates to a quick-change shaping mechanism that is easy to maintain. Background Art

[0002] During the production and processing of metal parts, parts after preliminary processing usually need to be shaped using a shaping device due to processing errors to make the products meet the standards.

[0003] In existing part shaping devices, the upper shaping block is usually driven by a cylinder to move downward, and the lower shaping block is used to cooperate with the upper shaping block to shape the part. In the shaping device, the lower shaping block is prone to wear and deformation, which affects the shaping effect. As the number of uses of the shaping device increases, the lower shaping block needs to be frequently disassembled and replaced, which affects the shaping efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a quick-change shaping mechanism that is easy to maintain, which is convenient for quickly replacing the lower shaping block in the shaping mechanism, reducing the downtime for replacement, and improving the shaping efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A quick-change shaping mechanism that is easy to maintain, including:

[0006] A shaping component, which includes a support frame, an electric cylinder, a shaping block mounting seat, and an upper shaping block. A plurality of electric cylinders arranged in a straight line are provided on the support frame. The shaping block mounting seat is fixedly installed on the cylinder rod of the electric cylinder, and the upper shaping block is fixedly installed on the shaping block mounting seat;

[0007] A positioning component, which includes a positioning seat, a lower shaping block, a positioning block, and a locking member. A lower shaping block corresponding to the upper shaping block in position is provided on the positioning seat. The lower shaping block is clamped in the installation groove on the positioning seat. A positioning block corresponding to the lower shaping block in position is also provided on the positioning seat. A receiving hole is provided on the positioning block, and the part is placed in the receiving hole. The locking member includes a rotating shaft and a locking block. The rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the positioning seat. A plurality of locking blocks arranged along the length direction of the rotating shaft are provided on the rotating shaft. The locking blocks are adsorbed on the positioning seat by magnets, and the locking blocks abut against the lower shaping block.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] At least one magnet receiving groove for installing a magnet is provided on the locking block.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] Two magnet receiving grooves are provided on the locking block.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] On the positioning base, opposed photoelectric sensors are provided on both sides. The opposed photoelectric sensors include a light emitter and a light receiver symmetrically arranged on both sides of the positioning base. On the positioning block, a groove is provided at a position corresponding to the optical path emitted by the opposed photoelectric sensors.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The positioning base is provided with mounting holes for installing proximity sensors.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] On both sides of the shaping block mounting base, symmetrically arranged guide rods are provided, and the guide rods are inserted through the support frame.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] One end of the rotating shaft is provided with an operating handle.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] On the back of the positioning base, a number of finger cylinders are provided. One finger cylinder corresponds to one positioning block. The positioning block includes two symmetrically arranged positioning block units, and one positioning block unit is fixedly installed on one jaw of the finger cylinder.

[0022] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] 1. In the present invention, when the shaping mechanism works, multiple parts are sequentially placed in multiple receiving holes of the positioning base. The electric cylinder drives the upper shaping block to descend, and the upper shaping block cooperates with the lower shaping block below the parts to shape the parts. The electric cylinder is electrically controlled and can finely adjust the stroke to ensure the shaping effect. Since the lower shaping block is prone to wear and deformation, in order to quickly replace the lower shaping block in the shaping mechanism, reduce the downtime for replacement, and improve the shaping efficiency, the lower shaping block is snap-fitted into the installation groove on the positioning base. Since it is restricted by the positioning block above, the lower shaping block can only be pushed out horizontally from one side of the locking member. The locking member is composed of a rotating shaft and a locking block. The locking block is adsorbed on the positioning base by a magnet and abuts against the lower shaping block. Therefore, by rotating the rotating shaft, the locking block is separated from the surface of the positioning base, and the locking of multiple lower shaping blocks can be simultaneously released, facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the lower shaping block.

[0024] 2. In the present invention, the positioning base is provided with mounting holes for installing proximity sensors. When the locking member is installed in place, one of the locking blocks will block the mounting hole. Therefore, installing a proximity sensor in the mounting hole can effectively detect whether the locking member is reset, preventing the operator from forgetting to reset the locking member after replacing the lower shaping block.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 —6, the present invention provides a technical solution: a quick-change shaping mechanism that is convenient for maintenance, including:

[0040] A shaping assembly 1, which includes a support frame 11, an electric cylinder 12, a shaping block mounting seat 13, and an upper shaping block 14. A plurality of electric cylinders 12 arranged in a straight line are provided on the support frame 11. The shaping block mounting seat 13 is fixedly installed on the cylinder rod of the electric cylinder 12, and the upper shaping block 14 is fixedly installed on the shaping block mounting seat 13;

[0041] The positioning component 2 includes a positioning seat 21, a lower shaping block 22, a positioning block 23 and a locking member 24. A lower shaping block 22 corresponding to the upper shaping block 14 in position is arranged on the positioning seat 21. The lower shaping block 22 is clamped in the installation groove on the positioning seat 21. A positioning block 23 corresponding to the lower shaping block 22 in position is also arranged on the positioning seat 21. A receiving hole 231 is arranged on the positioning block 23, and the part 3 is placed in the receiving hole 231. The locking member 24 includes a rotating shaft 241 and a locking block 242. The rotating shaft 241 is rotatably installed on the positioning seat 21. A plurality of locking blocks 242 arranged along the length direction of the rotating shaft 241 are arranged on the rotating shaft 241. The locking blocks 242 are adsorbed on the positioning seat 21 by magnets, and the locking blocks 242 abut against the lower shaping block 22. The cross-section of the receiving hole 231 is in a trapezoidal structure with a wider upper part and a narrower lower part, and the upper end opening is large, effectively avoiding the collision and damage of the part 3 with the positioning block 23 during the process of putting the part 3 in.

[0042] At least one magnet receiving groove 2421 for installing a magnet is arranged on the locking block 242. The locking block 242 is fixed by magnetic adsorption, which is convenient for opening or closing the locking member 24 and for disassembling and replacing the lower shaping block 22.

[0043] Two magnet receiving grooves 2421 are arranged on the locking block 242. One side of the locking block 242 is fixed on the lower shaping block 22 by magnetic adsorption, and the opposite side is adsorbed on the positioning seat 21 by magnetic adsorption, improving the locking effect.

[0044] Opposite photoelectric sensors are arranged on both sides of the positioning seat 21. The opposite photoelectric sensors include a light emitter and a light receiver 211 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the positioning seat 21. A groove 232 corresponding to the optical path emitted by the opposite photoelectric sensors is arranged on the positioning block 23. The groove 232 penetrates through the bottom of the receiving hole 231, so that it can be detected whether the part 3 is placed in place by the opposite photoelectric sensors.

[0045] An installation hole 212 for installing a proximity sensor is arranged on the positioning seat 21. Referring to the attached drawings of the specification, it can be seen that when the locking member 24 is installed in place, one of the locking blocks 242 will block the installation hole 212. Therefore, installing a proximity sensor in the installation hole 212 can effectively detect whether the locking member 24 is reset, avoiding the operator forgetting to reset the locking member 24 after replacing the lower shaping block 22.

[0046] Guide rods 131 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the shaping block mounting seat 13. The guide rods 131 penetrate through the support frame 11. The arrangement of the guide rods 131 can fully ensure the smooth movement of the shaping block mounting seat 13, ensure the pressing effect of the upper shaping block 14, and thus ensure the shaping effect.

[0047] An operating handle 2411 is arranged at one end of the rotating shaft 241, which is convenient for rotating and opening the locking member 24.

[0048] On the back of the positioning seat 21, several finger cylinders 25 are provided. One finger cylinder 25 corresponds to one positioning block 23. The positioning block 23 includes two symmetrically arranged positioning block units 233. One positioning block unit 233 is fixedly installed on one jaw of the finger cylinder 25. Accordingly, the accommodation hole 231 is divided into two parts. Each of the two positioning block units 233 has a "half accommodation hole 231" (i.e., the accommodation hole 231 unit). The accommodation hole 231 units on the two positioning block units 233 are combined to form a complete "accommodation hole 231". Since the positioning block units 233 are separated, the "accommodation hole 231" is not just a simple complete hole, but only a name for a cavity for positioning the part 3.

[0049] The positioning block 23 is formed by combining two positioning block units 233. The two positioning block units 233 cooperate with the finger cylinder 25, which can effectively control the size of the accommodation hole 231 to meet the shaping requirements of parts 3 of different sizes.

[0050] Working principle: When the shaping mechanism works, multiple parts 3 are sequentially placed in the multiple accommodation holes 231 of the positioning seat 21. The electric cylinder 12 drives the upper shaping block 14 to move downward. The upper shaping block 14 and the lower shaping block 22 below the part 3 cooperate to shape the part 3. The electric cylinder 12 is electrically controlled and can finely adjust the stroke to ensure the shaping effect. Since the lower shaping block 22 is prone to wear and deformation, in order to quickly replace the lower shaping block in the shaping mechanism, reduce the downtime for replacement, and improve the shaping efficiency, the lower shaping block 22 is clamped in the installation groove on the positioning seat 21. Since it is restricted by the positioning block 23 above, the lower shaping block 22 can only be pushed out horizontally from one side of the locking member 24. The locking member 24 is composed of a rotating shaft 241 and a locking block 242. The locking block 242 is adsorbed on the positioning seat 21 by a magnet and abuts against the lower shaping block 22 (restricting it from disengaging from the installation groove on the positioning seat 21). Therefore, by rotating the rotating shaft 241 to make the locking block 242 disengage from the surface of the positioning seat 21, the locking of multiple lower shaping blocks 22 can be released simultaneously, facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the lower shaping block 22.

[0051] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
