Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts processing, specifically to an integrated machine for feeding, clamping, and unloading elliptical gaskets for forging. Background Technology

[0002] Elliptical gaskets are among the most in-demand automotive parts. In actual processing, after the main body of a large number of elliptical gaskets is cast, specific end faces of each workpiece need to be forged according to their actual dimensional accuracy requirements.

[0003] In automated production line forging, appropriate equipment must be used to transport and load elliptical gaskets one by one. Although traditional loading equipment can also transport and load workpieces, it is difficult to automatically implement the workpiece receiving and stable unloading after transportation to the processing point. Furthermore, it is also difficult to clamp and unload workpieces before and after forging each workpiece. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional methods for forging elliptical gaskets, this invention proposes an integrated machine for feeding, clamping, and unloading elliptical gaskets.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0006] This is an integrated feeding, clamping, and unloading machine for forging elliptical gaskets. It features a main platform with a storage cylinder, a clamping and unloading assembly, and a forging machine arranged sequentially from left to right. A transverse slide rail is also mounted on the main platform, with a loading plate slidably fitted to it. The loading plate is connected to a transport drive assembly. The storage cylinder has a through-cavity with a cross-section adapted to the shape of the elliptical gasket, and is used to stack and store original elliptical gaskets. The clamping and unloading assembly securely clamps the elliptical gaskets after loading and unloads them after processing. The forging machine forges the elliptical gaskets. The loading plate loads the workpieces for transport. The transport drive assembly provides power to drive the loading plate and transport the workpieces.

[0007] A side frame is installed on the main platform to fix the storage cylinder in place. This structure is a conventional design for a fixed structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom end of the transverse loading plate is provided with a lateral extension that is slidably mounted on the transverse slide rail, which is a conventional design for a sliding structure. Raised plates are provided on both the front and rear sides of the upper end of the transverse loading plate, and these raised plates abut against the lower end of the storage cylinder. That is, under normal conditions, the raised plates block the lower end of the storage cylinder to prevent the workpiece inside the storage cylinder from falling.

[0009] Furthermore, an elliptical clamping block is provided at the center of the upper part of the loading plate, and the clamping block is set at the same height as the raised plate. Specifically, the clamping block, the raised plate, and the individual elliptical pads are all of the same thickness. The elliptical shape of the clamping block is designed according to the shape of the elliptical pads. Only when the center of the loading plate moves below the storage cylinder will the lowest elliptical pad inside the storage cylinder fall down and fit onto the clamping block.

[0010] Furthermore, the transport drive assembly consists of a motor mounted on the main base, a main rocker arm connected to the motor, and a transmission rod hinged to the main rocker arm; the transmission rod is hinged to the left end of the loading plate. That is, through the aforementioned crank-rocker mechanism, the loading plate can be driven to slide back and forth, thereby enabling the reciprocating transport of the elliptical gasket, ensuring the continuous operation of forging. The motor and the main rocker arm can be connected via a reducer.

[0011] Furthermore, the integrated clamping and unloading assembly comprises an auxiliary support mounted on the main platform, an inclined feeder frame mounted on the auxiliary support, a horizontal feeder frame abutting the right end of the inclined feeder frame, and a clamping auxiliary frame mounted on the inclined feeder frame; a limiting plate is provided on the right side of the clamping auxiliary frame. The inclined feeder frame is inclined, and the height difference between the left and right ends of the inclined feeder frame is greater than the thickness of the clamping block. The horizontal feeder frame should be positioned below the forging hammer attached to the forging machine. The limiting plate is used to assist in clamping the workpiece.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-sections of both the inclined and horizontal material guide frames are L-shaped. The upper distance between the front and rear sides of both the inclined and horizontal material guide frames is set to match the front and rear width of the workpiece. That is, both the inclined and horizontal material guide frames have steps on their front and rear sides for mounting the workpiece.

[0013] A collection box is also placed on the auxiliary support. The collection box is used to collect the workpieces that have been processed.

[0014] Furthermore, the right side of the auxiliary support is equipped with a linear guide rod and a hydraulic cylinder connecting to the horizontal material channel frame, with the horizontal material channel frame slidably mounted on the linear guide rod. After the workpiece completes forging, the hydraulic cylinder pulls the horizontal material channel frame to the right, causing the workpiece to lose support and fall into the collection box, thus completing the unloading.

[0015] Furthermore, a pressing rod is hinged to the upper end of the clamping auxiliary frame, and a pressing groove is provided on the upper part of the pressing rod. A cylinder is also installed on the clamping auxiliary frame, and the shaft of the cylinder slides and is hinged to the pressing groove. That is, the pushing of the cylinder can cause the pressing rod to rotate counterclockwise, and the lower part of the pressing rod can cooperate with the limiting plate to clamp and fix the workpiece.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] This invention, based on the forging process of elliptical gaskets using a forging machine, enables the sequential loading of workpieces. Furthermore, the loading plate automatically receives and unloads workpieces during transport, resulting in a high degree of automation and convenient operation. In addition, this invention can automatically clamp the elliptical gaskets after workpiece loading, facilitating forging, and automatically unload the workpieces after forging.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments. Of course, the described embodiments are only a part of the present invention and not all of it. Based on this embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the elliptical gasket forging machine integrates loading, clamping, and unloading. It has a main platform 1, on which, from left to right, are arranged a storage cylinder 2, a clamping and unloading assembly, and a forging machine 4. A transverse slide rail 3 is also installed on the main platform 1, with a loading plate 6 slidably fitted to it. The loading plate 6 is connected to a transport drive assembly. The storage cylinder 2 has a through-cavity with a cross-section adapted to the shape of the elliptical gasket, and is used to stack and store the original elliptical gaskets. The clamping and unloading assembly is used to fix and clamp the elliptical gaskets after loading and to unload them after processing. The forging machine 4 is used to forge the elliptical gaskets. The loading plate 6 is used to load the workpieces for transport. The transport drive assembly provides power to drive the loading plate 6 and transport the workpieces.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a side frame 7 is installed on the main platform 1 to fix the storage cylinder 2. This structure is a conventional design for a fixed structure.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom end of the transverse loading plate 6 has a lateral extension 6b that is slidably mounted on the transverse slide rail 3. This structure is a conventional design for a sliding structure. Both the front and rear sides of the upper end of the transverse loading plate 6 are provided with raised plates 6c, which abut against the lower end of the storage cylinder 2. That is, under normal conditions, the raised plates 6c block the lower end of the storage cylinder 2 to prevent the workpiece inside the storage cylinder 2 from falling.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, an elliptical clamping block 6a is provided at the upper center of the loading plate 6, and the clamping block 6a is set at the same height as the raised plate 6c. Specifically, the clamping block 6a, the raised plate 6c, and the single elliptical pad have the same thickness. The elliptical shape of the clamping block 6a is designed according to the shape of the elliptical pad. Only when the middle of the loading plate 6 moves below the storage cylinder 2 will the lowest elliptical pad inside the storage cylinder 2 fall down and fit onto the clamping block 6a.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the transport drive assembly consists of a motor 11 mounted on the main base 1, a main rocker arm 12 connected to the motor 11, and a transmission rod 13 hinged to the main rocker arm 12; the transmission rod 13 is hinged to the left end of the loading plate 6. That is, through the aforementioned crank-rocker mechanism, the loading plate 6 can be driven to slide back and forth, thereby enabling the reciprocating transport of the elliptical gasket, ensuring the continuous operation of forging. The motor 11 and the main rocker arm 12 can be connected via a reducer.

[0033] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, the integrated clamping and unloading assembly consists of an auxiliary support 14 mounted on the main platform 1, an inclined feeder frame 15 mounted on the auxiliary support 14, a horizontal feeder frame 16 abutting the right end of the inclined feeder frame 15, and a clamping auxiliary frame 17 mounted on the inclined feeder frame 15; a limiting plate 17a is provided on the right side of the clamping auxiliary frame 17. The inclined feeder frame 15 is inclined, and the height difference between the left and right ends of the inclined feeder frame 15 is greater than the thickness of the clamping block 6a. The horizontal feeder frame 16 should be positioned below the forging hammer attached to the forging machine 4. The limiting plate 17a is used to assist in clamping the workpiece.

[0034] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cross-sections of both the inclined feeder frame 15 and the horizontal feeder frame 16 are L-shaped. The upper spacing between the front and rear sides of both the inclined feeder frame 15 and the horizontal feeder frame 16 is set to match the front and rear width of the workpiece. That is, both the inclined feeder frame 15 and the horizontal feeder frame 16 are provided with steps on their front and rear sides for mounting workpieces.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, a collection box 5 is also placed on the auxiliary support 14. The collection box 5 is used to collect the workpieces that have been processed.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the right side of the auxiliary support 14 is equipped with a linear guide rod 10 and a hydraulic cylinder 18 that connects to the horizontal material channel frame 16. The horizontal material channel frame 16 is slidably mounted on the linear guide rod 10. After the workpiece has completed forging, the hydraulic cylinder 18 pulls the horizontal material channel frame 16 to the right, causing the workpiece to lose support and fall into the collection box 5, thus completing the unloading.

[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a pressing rod 9 is hinged to the upper end of the clamping auxiliary frame 17. The pressing rod 9 has a pressing groove 9a on its upper part. A cylinder 8 is also installed on the clamping auxiliary frame 17. The shaft of the cylinder 8 slides and is hinged to the pressing groove 9a. That is, the pushing of the cylinder 8 can cause the pressing rod 9 to rotate counterclockwise, and the lower part of the pressing rod 9 can cooperate with the limiting plate 17a to clamp and fix the workpiece.

[0038] Before using this invention, a batch of products that have undergone heat treatment needs to be... Figure 1 The elliptical gasket elements shown are stacked one by one in the inner cavity of the storage cylinder 2 with the forged side facing up.

[0039] The specific method of using this invention is as follows:

[0040] First, the main rocker arm 12 is driven by the motor 11 to rotate slowly, so that the loading plate 6 slides back and forth. When the loading plate 6 slides under the storage cylinder 2, it can automatically load an oval-shaped pad.

[0041] Furthermore, as the workpiece moves to the right along with the loading plate 6 and passes the inclined feeder frame 15, the inclined step surfaces on the front and rear sides of the inclined feeder frame 15 will gradually lift the elliptical pad upwards. Until the elliptical pad disengages from the clamping block 6a, most of the workpiece is already mounted on the horizontal steps on the front and rear sides of the horizontal feeder frame 16.

[0042] Furthermore, the cylinder 8 pushes the pressing rod 9 upward, and the pressing rod 9 rotates counterclockwise and cooperates with the limiting plate 17a to press and fix the workpiece.

[0043] Furthermore, forging is performed on a specific end face of the workpiece using forging machine 4.

[0044] Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 18 pulls the horizontal material channel frame 16 to the right, allowing the workpiece to fall into the collection box 5, completing the unloading.

[0045] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely prisms of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
