Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of small round can body processing, specifically a machine head structure that facilitates mold changing. Background Technology

[0002] When manufacturing small round cans, after assembling the can body and bottom cover, the outer circumference of the bottom needs to be machined to form the corresponding shape. Different mold structures are required for can bodies of different diameters. In practice, the existing mold replacement structure is complicated, requiring the disassembly and assembly of multiple sets of parts. This causes a long delay in mold replacement time when switching product models on the production line. Furthermore, after the existing mold is assembled, the processed products need to be manually detached, which consumes a lot of labor costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a machine head structure that facilitates mold replacement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a machine head structure that facilitates mold changing, enabling quick and efficient replacement of molds for different product models, and ensuring rapid and reliable product removal while reducing labor costs.

[0004] A machine head structure for convenient mold changing, characterized in that it comprises:

[0005] A mounting frame for mounting the head structure to the production line includes an upper mounting plate, a central mounting cavity, an upper bearing, and a lower bearing. The upper bearing is provided on the upper outer ring of the central mounting cavity, and the lower bearing is provided on the lower outer ring of the central mounting cavity.

[0006] A transmission gear assembly includes a bushing and a transmission gear, wherein the transmission gear is fixed to the upper outer periphery of the bushing;

[0007] A hollow assembly shaft includes a shaft body, a bottom stop side protrusion, and a support ring. The upper outer periphery of the shaft body has an external thread structure. The central inner cavity of the shaft body is a cavity that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, including a large-diameter cavity at the top and a small-diameter cavity at the bottom. A bottom stop side protrusion is provided on the lower outer periphery of the shaft body. The bottom stop side protrusion is used to position the mold.

[0008] A stop cover includes an upper end plate and an outer ring sleeve. The upper end plate is provided with a central hole, and the inner circumference of the outer ring sleeve is provided with an internal thread.

[0009] The pusher pin includes a top convex end, an upper large-diameter end, and a middle and lower small-diameter end;

[0010] And linear guide springs;

[0011] The stop cover, transmission gear assembly, and fixed frame are stacked sequentially from top to bottom. A support ring is fitted above the bottom of the shaft. The shaft passes through the central mounting cavity and the inner cavity of the bushing from bottom to top and is threaded to the inner thread of the outer ring. The upper part of the support ring is in close contact with the inner ring of the lower bearing. A linear guide spring is fitted at the lower small diameter end. The push pin is located in the central inner cavity of the shaft. The linear guide spring is located in the large diameter cavity. The lower part of the linear guide spring is mounted on the lower wall of the large diameter cavity, and the upper part of the linear guide spring is mounted on the lower surface of the upper large diameter end. When the linear guide spring is not compressed, the upper surface of the upper large diameter end is in contact with the lower surface of the upper end plate, and the top convex end protrudes from the central hole. The lower surface of the support ring is used to press and attach the upper surface of the mounting mold.

[0012] Its further features are:

[0013] The outer periphery of the upper fixing plate is provided with several sets of long slots to ensure convenient and quick assembly with the production line.

[0014] The bottom of the outer ring sleeve is a side-convex fitting outer ring, and the lower surface of the fitting outer ring is in close contact with the center surface of the transmission gear to ensure a stable and reliable press-fit connection.

[0015] The lower end of the bushing is press-fitted into the inner ring of the upper bearing to ensure reliable and stable assembly and stable installation of the mounting frame;

[0016] The lower end of the shaft is provided with an external thread, and the support ring is a nut structure. The support ring is threaded to the external thread, so that the height space for assembling the mold can be finely adjusted.

[0017] The bushing is provided with a locking hole, and the outer ring of the shaft is provided with a vertically arranged long slot at the corresponding position. The locking screw passes through the locking hole and is built into the corresponding height of the long slot, which ensures the synchronous rotation of the bushing and the shaft. The long slot also ensures that the entire structure can still operate reliably when vertical adjustment occurs.

[0018] The upper large-diameter end and the large-diameter cavity are fitted together to ensure the stable and reliable linear movement of the pusher needle.

[0019] With this invention, when the mold needs to be changed, unscrew the stop cover, then pull out the hollow assembly shaft and push pin downwards, remove the mold, then assemble the new mold, insert the hollow assembly shaft and push pin again, and then tighten the stop cover. When the product needs to be unloaded, the top protruding end of the push pin is pushed by external force (usually automated power), and then the small diameter end of the middle and lower part of the push pin protrudes downwards from the shaft body, pushing the product out of the mold. This makes the replacement of molds for different models of products quick and efficient, and makes the product removal quick and reliable, reducing labor costs. Attached Figure Description
