Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of copper tube processing technology, specifically to a copper tube hot forging processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Forging can be classified into cold forging and hot forging based on the temperature at which the billet is processed. Cold forging is generally performed at room temperature, while hot forging is performed at a temperature higher than the recrystallization temperature of the billet metal. Sometimes, forging performed while the billet is heated but the temperature does not exceed the recrystallization temperature is called warm forging. However, this classification is not entirely consistent in production.

[0003] Traditional copper tube hot forging equipment still requires manual labor during copper tube processing. This creates serious safety hazards in the factory and also limits efficiency. Therefore, while using robotic arms to replace manual labor in hot forging equipment has improved production efficiency, the forming time for a single copper tube is still only one piece per minute, and the production efficiency remains a significant problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0006] A copper tube hot forging processing equipment includes a feeding module, a loading module, and a processing module. The feeding module includes an L-shaped mounting plate, an intermediate frequency furnace connected to the top of the L-shaped mounting plate, a robot arm connected to the top of the intermediate frequency furnace, a horizontal plate mounted on the front side of the L-shaped mounting plate, a first U-shaped plate connected to the top of the horizontal plate, a second U-shaped plate mounted on one side of the first U-shaped plate, an L-shaped rotating frame movably mounted inside the second U-shaped plate, a movable plate movably sleeved on the top of the L-shaped rotating frame, a hinge plate movably sleeved on the top of the movable plate, a motor connected between the L-shaped mounting plate and the hinge plate, a pull plate movably sleeved on the bottom of the L-shaped rotating frame, a feeding plate movably connected between the intermediate frequency furnace and the pull plate, and a feeding plate with openings in the feeding module. The opening on the plate allows the medium-frequency furnace, robotic arm, motor, and external PLC to be electrically connected. The feeding module includes a receiving plate connected to the L-shaped mounting plate, a cylinder connected between the L-shaped mounting plate and the receiving plate, a limiting plate connected to the movable end of the cylinder, a material frame vertically penetrating the horizontal plate, two elastic metal plates installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the material frame, and a pressure cap connected to the top of the material frame. The cylinder is electrically connected to the external PLC. The processing module includes a T-shaped sliding plate that slides through the L-shaped mounting plate, a push rod that slides through the T-shaped sliding plate, a transmission plate movably connected between the hinge plate and the T-shaped sliding plate, and a mold installed on the front side of the L-shaped mounting plate. The push rod is coaxial with the mold laterally and slides through the material frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, after the copper tube heated in the medium frequency furnace is received by the receiving plate, the cylinder, in conjunction with the limiting plate, continuously presses the copper tube into the material frame. During this process, the rotating hinge plate moves the T-shaped slide plate through the transmission plate, and then the T-shaped slide plate moves with the push rod. The push rod presses the copper tube in the material frame into the mold. Under pressure, the copper tube is formed in the mold. The copper tube forming process is smooth and seamless, and the forming time of a single copper tube can be controlled within 30 seconds, effectively improving the processing efficiency of copper tubes.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the invention may be further configured such that the crossbar is made of a metal material and the top of the crossbar is set as a slope.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that the bottom of the inner cavity of the feeding plate is set as an arc surface, and the arc surface is polished.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the invention may be further configured such that the opening is located at the top of the receiving plate, and the width of the opening is greater than the width of the receiving plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the limiting plate is movably embedded in the top of the inner cavity of the receiving plate, and the top of the limiting plate and the top of the inner cavity of the receiving plate are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that two elastic metal plates are symmetrical about the vertical center plane of the material frame, and the elastic metal plates are set to be arc-shaped.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a plurality of rods are connected between the material frame and the L-shaped mounting plate, and the plurality of rods are arranged in a matrix.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: two limiting frames are sleeved on the outer side of the T-shaped sliding plate, and the two limiting frames are respectively attached to the front and rear sides of the L-shaped mounting plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this invention, after the copper tube heated in the medium-frequency furnace is received by the receiving plate, the cylinder, in conjunction with the limiting plate, continuously presses the copper tube into the material frame. During this process, the rotating hinge plate moves the T-shaped slide plate through the transmission plate, and then the T-shaped slide plate moves with the push rod. The push rod presses the copper tube in the material frame into the mold. Under pressure, the copper tube is formed in the mold. The copper tube forming process is smooth and seamless. The forming time of a single copper tube can be controlled within 30 seconds, effectively improving the processing efficiency of copper tubes.

[0017] 2. In this invention, when the heated copper tube is pressed into the mold, some scraps will fall off the surface of the copper tube. The scraps fall onto the horizontal plate and are then collected by the on-site staff, which improves the comfort of using this device.

[0018] 3. In this invention, the cut copper tube is put into an intermediate frequency furnace, which then heats the copper tube to between 700°C and 800°C. A robotic arm then moves the heated copper tube onto a feeding plate, where it slides down to the right end of the feeding plate. The motor is then started, and through a hinge plate and a movable plate, the L-shaped rotating frame rotates. The L-shaped rotating frame then lowers the left end of the feeding plate via a pull plate, and the copper tube slides along the inner wall of the feeding plate and falls from the opening onto the receiving plate. The feeding process is smooth and stable, ensuring improved copper tube production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0032] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0033] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of a copper tube hot forging processing equipment provided by the present invention. Example 1

[0034] Combination Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a copper tube hot forging processing equipment, including a feeding module 100, a loading module 200, and a processing module 300. The feeding module 100 includes an L-shaped mounting plate 110, an intermediate frequency furnace 120 connected to the top of the L-shaped mounting plate 110, a robot arm 130 connected to the top of the intermediate frequency furnace 120, a horizontal plate 140 installed on the front side of the L-shaped mounting plate 110, a first U-shaped plate 150 connected to the top of the horizontal plate 140, a second U-shaped plate 160 installed on one side of the first U-shaped plate 150, and a movably mounted on the second U-shaped plate 160. The L-shaped rotating frame 170 inside the 60, the movable plate 180 movably sleeved on the top of the L-shaped rotating frame 170, the hinge plate 190 movably sleeved on the top of the movable plate 180, the motor 191 connected between the L-shaped mounting plate 110 and the hinge plate 190, the pull plate 192 movably sleeved on the bottom of the L-shaped rotating frame 170, the feeding plate 193 movably connected between the medium frequency furnace 120 and the pull plate 192, and the opening 194 opened on the feeding plate 193. The medium frequency furnace 120, the robot arm 130, the motor 191 are electrically connected to an external PLC.

[0035] The feeding module 200 includes a receiving plate 210 connected to the L-shaped mounting plate 110, a cylinder 220 connected between the L-shaped mounting plate 110 and the receiving plate 210, a limiting plate 230 connected to the movable end of the cylinder 220, a material frame 240 that vertically penetrates the horizontal plate 140, two elastic metal plates 250 installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the material frame 240, and a pressure cap 260 connected to the top of the material frame 240. The cylinder 220 is electrically connected to an external PLC.

[0036] The processing module 300 includes a T-shaped slide plate 310 that slides through the L-shaped mounting plate 110, a push rod 320 that slides laterally through the T-shaped slide plate 310, a transmission plate 330 that is movably connected between the hinge plate 190 and the T-shaped slide plate 310, and a mold 340 installed on the front side of the L-shaped mounting plate 110. The push rod 320 is laterally coaxial with the mold 340, and the push rod 320 slides through the material frame 240.

[0037] Furthermore, the horizontal plate 140 is made of metal, and the top of the horizontal plate 140 is set as an inclined surface. The horizontal plate 140 made of metal can firmly support the first U-shaped plate 150, the second U-shaped plate 160 and the material frame 240, thereby improving the structural stability of the device. The structural design of the horizontal plate 140 also allows the debris that falls on the horizontal plate 140 to slide to the front of the horizontal plate 140, making it convenient for workers to collect the debris in a unified manner.

[0038] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner cavity of the feeding plate 193 is set as an arc surface, which is polished. With this structural design, the copper tube placed on the feeding plate 193 can smoothly move to the left when the left end of the feeding plate 193 tilts downward.

[0039] Furthermore, the opening 194 is located at the top of the receiving plate 210, and the width of the opening 194 is greater than the width of the receiving plate 210. This size and layout ensure that the copper tubes sliding down the feeding plate 193 can land steadily on the receiving plate 210.

[0040] Furthermore, the limiting plate 230 is movably embedded in the top of the inner cavity of the receiving plate 210. The top of the limiting plate 230 and the top of the inner cavity of the receiving plate 210 are located on the same horizontal plane. With this shape design, the limiting plate 230 can steadily carry the copper tube upward.

[0041] Furthermore, the two elastic metal plates 250 are symmetrical about the vertical center of the material frame 240, and the elastic metal plates 250 are set in an arc shape. This shape design provides conditions for limiting the copper tube. Example 2

[0042] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, multiple rods are connected between the material frame 240 and the L-shaped mounting plate 110. The multiple rods are arranged in a matrix. Setting the rods can improve the connection strength between the material frame 240 and the L-shaped mounting plate 110. Example 3

[0043] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, in the above embodiment, two limiting frames 400 are sleeved on the outer side of the T-shaped slide plate 310. The two limiting frames 400 are respectively attached to the front and rear sides of the L-shaped mounting plate 110. The limiting frames 400 can make the T-shaped slide plate 310 move smoothly and effectively prevent the T-shaped slide plate 310 from separating from the L-shaped mounting plate 110.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of this invention: In the initial state, the left end of the feeding plate 193 is tilted up under the pull of the pull plate 192. Then, when the device is put into actual use, the cut copper tube is put into the medium frequency furnace 120. The medium frequency furnace 120 heats the copper tube to between 700°C and 800°C. Then, the robot arm 130 transports the heated copper tube onto the feeding plate 193. The copper tube slides down to the right end of the feeding plate 193. Then, the motor 191 is started. The motor 191 rotates the L-shaped rotating frame 170 through the hinge plate 190 and the movable plate 180. Then, the L-shaped rotating frame 170 lowers the left end of the feeding plate 193 through the pull plate 192. Then, the copper tube slides along the inner wall of the feeding plate 193 and falls onto the receiving plate 210 from the opening 194. Then, the limiting plate 230 limits the copper tube, and then the cylinder 220 is activated. The cylinder 220 presses the copper tube into the material frame 240 through the limiting plate 230. After the copper tube passes between the two elastic metal plates 250, the elastic metal plates 250 will limit the copper tube in the material frame 240 to prevent the copper tube in the material frame 240 from falling out. At the same time, the rotating hinge plate 190 causes the T-shaped slide plate 310 to move horizontally through the transmission plate 330. Then the T-shaped slide plate 310 moves with the push rod 320. The push rod 320 presses the copper tube in the material frame 240 into the mold 340. Under the pressure, the copper tube is formed in the mold 340. Then the scraps generated during the forming process fall onto the horizontal plate 140. Then the on-site staff can collect the scraps on the horizontal plate 140 in a unified manner, which improves the comfort of using this device.

[0045] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
