Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of press technology, and in particular to an automatic core removal device for a press mandrel. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of powder metallurgy parts, the issue of inner hole accuracy for thin-walled parts with a large length-to-diameter ratio has always been a challenge. The equipment required for producing these parts generally doesn't require high pressure; 3T or 6T production equipment is sufficient. However, due to the lower mandrel structure of such equipment, finished products commonly exhibit problems such as inner hole bending, inconsistent hole sizes at both ends, and inconsistent outer diameters. The main reason for this problem is that the mandrel and die are in the same direction during finishing. During the upward and downward pressing process, the outer diameter of the product enters the die while the lower mandrel enters the product. This results in high friction as the product enters the die cavity. The product at the upward-pressing end experiences excessive extrusion pressure, leading to abnormal deformation such as bulging and increased density. After finishing and demolding, the large density difference and different elastic rebound rates at both ends result in inconsistent inner and outer diameters at both ends. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic core removal device for mandrels on presses, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art, improve product quality, and avoid the phenomenon that the inner hole and outer diameter at both ends of the product are inconsistent.
[0019] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown: This embodiment provides an automatic core removal device 100 for the upper mandrel of a press, including an upper spindle 1, an upper mandrel 3, a connecting plate 2, a guide post 4, a pad 7, an upper punch 9, a female die 12, and a lower punch 13.
[0021] The upper main shaft 1 is fixedly connected to the hydraulic telescopic rod of the press, and the top end of the upper mandrel 3 is fixedly connected to the upper main shaft 1. Specifically, the upper main shaft 1 is hollow, the top end of the upper mandrel 3 is fixedly connected to the first connecting shaft 15, the top end of the first connecting shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second connecting shaft 16, the second connecting shaft 16 is threadedly connected to the mandrel locking nut 17, and the bottom end of the mandrel locking nut 17 is tightly fitted to the top end of the upper main shaft 1. The mandrel locking nut 17 is designed to prevent the threaded connection between the second connecting shaft 16 and the upper main shaft 1 from loosening, as a loose connection would cause the upper mandrel 3 to be unstable, thus affecting product quality. The top end of the upper mandrel 3, the bottom end of the second connecting shaft 16, and the first connecting shaft 15 are all located in the hollow part of the upper main shaft 1.
[0022] The connecting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the upper spindle 1. The top ends of the two guide pillars 4 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 2 respectively. The top ends of the guide pillars 4 pass through the connecting plate 2 and are fixed by the guide pillar locking nut 6. The pad 7 is sleeved on the two guide pillars 4. Both guide pillars 4 are slidably fitted with the pad 7. The top end of the guide pillar 4 is provided with a limiting ring to prevent the pad 7 from falling off the guide pillar 4. Each guide pillar 4 is fitted with a spring 5. One end of the spring 5 abuts against the connecting plate 2 and the other end abuts against the pad 7. The spring 5 is always in a compressed state. The pad 7 is provided with a through hole corresponding to each guide pillar 4. A graphite copper sleeve 8 is fixedly installed in each through hole. The guide pillar 4 and the graphite copper sleeve 8 are slidably fitted. The graphite copper sleeve 8 provides lubrication and guidance for the relative displacement between the guide pillar 4 and the pad 7. The graphite copper sleeve 8 and the pad 7 are interference fit, and the graphite copper sleeve 8 and the guide pillar 4 are clearance fit.
[0023] The upper punch 9 is fixed on the pad 7. The upper mandrel 3 passes through the connecting plate 2 and the upper punch 9. The female mold 12 is fixed on the frame of the press. The bottom of the upper mandrel 3 and the upper punch 9 can extend into the cavity of the female mold 12. The bottom end of the lower punch 13 is fixed to the lower punch seat. When the lower punch seat moves up and down, it can drive the lower punch 1 to slide and engage with the cavity of the female mold 12. That is, the female mold 12 is fixed, while the top of the lower punch 13 can extend into the cavity of the female mold 12 and move up and down in the cavity of the female mold 12.
[0024] The upper spindle 1, upper mandrel 3, connecting plate 2, pad 7, upper punch 9, cavity and lower punch 13 are coaxial.
[0025] A connecting block is provided on the top of the pad 7, and an adjusting nut 10 is threaded onto the connecting block. The adjusting nut 10 is located between the connecting plate 2 and the pad 7. By rotating the adjusting nut 10, the connection length between the adjusting nut 10 and the connecting block can be adjusted, which can correct the length error of the upper punch 9 during the manufacturing process.
[0026] The automatic core removal device 100 for the press in this embodiment also includes a conical air blowing pipe 14 located on one side of the female mold 12. The conical air blowing pipe 14 is connected to an air source and is used to blow out compressed air to blow away the product on the female mold 12. A solenoid valve is provided on the conical air blowing pipe 14. The solenoid valve is electrically connected to a limit switch, and the opening and closing of the solenoid valve on the conical air blowing pipe 14 is controlled by the limit switch. Specifically, the limit switch is located next to the upper spindle 1 and is fixed in place. A lever for actuating the limit switch is fixed on the side wall of the upper spindle 1. The lever moves with the movement of the upper spindle 1. It should be noted that the lever can actuate the limit switch during both the upward and downward strokes of the upper spindle 1, thereby triggering the limit switch. During the upward stroke of the upper spindle 1, the lever actuates the limit switch, causing it to open. The limit switch opens the solenoid valve, allowing compressed air to be blown out of the conical air blowing pipe 14. During the downward stroke of the upper spindle 1, the lever actuates the limit switch, causing it to close. The limit switch closes the solenoid valve, preventing compressed air from being blown out of the conical air blowing pipe 14.
[0027] The working principle of the automatic core removal device 100 for the press core bar in this embodiment is as follows:
[0028] (1) When the upper spindle 1 moves downward, the upper mandrel 3 first penetrates into the inner hole of the product to be shaped 11 for a period of time, and then the product to be shaped 11 enters the female mold 12. In this way, the product to be shaped 11 is subjected to bidirectional force during the process of entering the mold. The two ends of the product to be shaped 11 are subjected to uniform force and consistent deformation, which effectively solves the problems of inner hole bending and inconsistent inner hole outer diameter.
[0029] (2) During the downward movement of the upper spindle 1, the force on the pad 7 gradually increases, and the spring 5 is gradually compressed until the top surface of the adjusting nut 10 is in contact with the bottom surface of the connecting plate 2. When the upper spindle 1 reaches the bottom dead center, the pressing process is completed. When the upper spindle 1 moves upward and enters the demolding stage, the compressed spring 5 releases its compression force, pushing the pad 7 and the upper punch 9 downward until the end face of the upper punch 9 leaves the upper mandrel 3. This ensures that the shaped product is completely separated from the upper mandrel 3, thus completing the demolding process.
[0030] (3) After demolding, the conical air blowing pipe 14 controlled by the limit switch will open, and the discharged compressed air will blow away the shaped product to avoid the shaped product from accumulating on the equipment table.
