Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of stamping equipment technology, and particularly to a forming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, the stamping process of products often requires the sequential movement of multiple dies within a stamping press to achieve the stamping process through multiple steps. However, commercially available equipment moves the product using multiple sequential grippers that move different dies. Such equipment requires multiple robotic arms and corresponding drive mechanisms, resulting in high costs. Furthermore, when the product is hollow, it is prone to deformation during the stamping process, affecting product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a forming device that enables continuous transfer of products between multiple stations of a stamping machine and improves the processing quality of the products at a lower cost.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a molding apparatus includes a molding unit, the molding unit comprising: a stamping press, a translation mechanism, a support mechanism, and a positioning mechanism; the stamping press is used to mold a product and includes a plurality of stations arranged sequentially along a first direction; the translation mechanism includes a first limiting member, a translation member, a first driving member, and a second driving assembly, the first limiting member being vertically slidably connected to the translation member, the output end of the first driving member being connected to the translation member and used to drive the translation member to reciprocate along the first direction, the first limiting member having a plurality of positions along the first direction and each forming a plurality of positions for placing the product, the first limiting member being used to... The first limiting component is located below the first limiting component and is used to drive the first limiting component to rise or fall. The support mechanism includes a support component and a third driving component. The output end of the third driving component is connected to the support component and is used to drive the support component to move along a second direction to insert or withdraw it from the product. The second direction and the first direction are both horizontal and perpendicular to each other. The positioning mechanism is installed in the lower mold module and includes a positioning component and a fourth driving component. Multiple positioning components are provided and are set one-to-one with the workstations. The fourth driving component is used to drive the positioning components to rise or fall for positioning and fixing the product.

[0005] The molding equipment according to embodiments of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The molding equipment includes a molding unit, which includes a stamping machine, a translation mechanism, a support mechanism, and a positioning mechanism. The stamping machine includes an upper die module and a lower die module distributed vertically. The lower die module forms multiple workstations for processing products, arranged along a first direction, thereby enabling the products to be processed sequentially at the workstations. The translation mechanism's translational component can reciprocate along the first direction under the drive of a first driving component, while a first limiting component is vertically slidably connected to the translational component and can be driven by a second driving component. The lifting mechanism allows the first limiting member to reciprocate along the first direction along with the translation member. In use, the first limiting member is in an upward state driven by the second driving member, allowing the product to be placed on it. Subsequently, the first driving member drives the translation member to move the first limiting member, enabling it to move the product along the first direction and transfer it from its placement position on the first limiting member to its workstation. Then, the third driving member in the support mechanism drives the support member to insert into the product at the workstation, thus providing internal support for the product. Next, the fourth driving member in the positioning mechanism... The component-driven positioning assembly moves upward to fix the bottom and sides of the product. Then, the upper and lower die modules of the punch press close. After mold closing, the first limiting component moves downward under the drive of the second driving component. After the punch press stamps and forms the product, the mold opens, and the formed product can be removed. After mold opening, the third driving component drives the support component to pull out the product. Under the drive of the fourth driving component, the positioning assembly also moves downward. The first limiting component, while moving downward, returns to its original position in the opposite direction of the first direction. This allows the first limiting component to avoid obstructing the product during translation. After returning to its original position, the first limiting component is driven by the second driving component... Driven by the component, it rises and receives a new product to be stamped at one end of multiple placement positions. The new product is then moved to the workstation along the first direction. This process is repeated to achieve continuous transfer and processing of products in different workstations. Therefore, the forming equipment of this application can achieve continuous transfer of products in multiple workstations of the stamping machine. It can also provide internal support for the product through the support mechanism to prevent product deformation, and fix the product during the processing through the positioning mechanism to improve the processing progress. This results in improved product processing quality at a lower cost.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a limiting mechanism is further included. The limiting mechanism has two sets arranged side by side along the second direction and located outside the two sets of placement positions. A guide rail extending along the first direction is formed between the two sets of limiting mechanisms. The guide rail is used to limit the product in the second direction and the height direction. The two ends of the guide rail in the first direction are the inlet end and the outlet end, respectively. The distance between the two sets of limiting mechanisms gradually decreases along the first direction at the inlet end.

[0036] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 12 A molding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the molding equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a molding unit 100, which includes a stamping machine 500, a translation mechanism 600, a support mechanism 700, and a positioning mechanism 800. The stamping machine 500 is used to mold a product 1000 and includes a plurality of stations arranged sequentially along a first direction. The translation mechanism 600 includes a first limiting member 610, a translation member 620, a first driving member 630, and a second driving assembly 640. The first limiting member 610 is vertically slidably connected to the translation member 620. The output end of the first driving member 630 is connected to the translation member 620 and is used to drive the translation member 620 to reciprocate along the first direction. The first limiting member 610 is provided with a plurality of positions along the first direction, each forming a plurality of placement positions for placing the product 1000. The first drive unit 640 is used to move the product 1000 between workstations. The second drive component 640 is located below the first limit member 610 and is used to drive the first limit member 610 to rise or fall. The support mechanism 700 includes a support member 710 and a third drive member 720. The output end of the third drive member 720 is connected to the support member 710 and is used to drive the support member 710 to move along the second direction to insert or withdraw the product 1000. The second direction and the first direction are both horizontal and perpendicular to each other. The positioning mechanism 800 passes through the lower mold module 520 and includes a positioning component 810 and a fourth drive member 820. Multiple positioning components 810 are provided and are set one-to-one with the workstations. The fourth drive member 820 is used to drive the positioning component 810 to rise or fall for positioning and fixing the product 1000.

[0038] It is understood that this forming equipment includes a forming unit 100, which includes a stamping press 500, a translation mechanism 600, a support mechanism 700, and a positioning mechanism 800. The stamping press 500 includes an upper die module 510 and a lower die module 520 distributed vertically. The lower die module 520 forms multiple workstations for processing products 1000. The workstations are arranged along a first direction, so that products 1000 can be processed by the stamping press sequentially at the workstations. The translation component 620 of the translation mechanism 600 can reciprocate along the first direction under the drive of the first drive component 630, and the first limiting component 610 is vertically slidably connected to the translation component 620 and can be raised and lowered under the drive of the second drive component. Therefore, the first limiting component 610 can also... As the translation member 620 reciprocates along the first direction, that is, during use, the first limiting member 610 is in an upward state under the drive of the second driving member, and the product 1000 can be placed on the first limiting member 610. Then, the first driving member 630 drives the translation member 620 to move the first limiting member 610, thereby enabling the first limiting member 610 to move the product 1000 along the first direction and transfer the product 1000 from the placement position on the first limiting member 610 to the workstation. Subsequently, the third driving member 720 in the support mechanism 700 drives the support member 710 to insert into the product 1000 located at the workstation, thereby providing internal support for the product 1000 through the support member 710. Then, the fourth driving member 8 in the positioning mechanism 800... The positioning component 810 moves upward to position and fix the bottom and sides of the product 1000. Then, the upper die module 510 and lower die module 520 of the punch press close. After mold closing, the first limiting member 610 moves downward under the drive of the second driving member. After the punch press stamps and forms the product 1000, the mold opens, and the formed product 1000 can be removed. After mold opening, the third driving member 720 drives the support member 710 to pull out the product 1000. Under the drive of the fourth driving member 820, the positioning component 810 also moves downward. The first limiting member 610 returns to its original position in the opposite direction of the first direction while moving downward. This allows the first limiting member 610 to avoid the product 1000 during translation. After returning to its original position, the first limiting member 610... Driven by the second driving component, the product rises and receives a new product 1000 to be stamped at one end of the multiple placement positions. The new product 1000 is then moved to the workstation along the first direction. This process is repeated to achieve continuous transfer and processing of the product 1000 in different workstations. Therefore, the forming equipment of this application can achieve continuous transfer of the product 1000 in multiple workstations of the stamping machine 500. Furthermore, the support mechanism 700 can provide internal support for the product 1000 to prevent deformation, and the positioning mechanism 800 can fix the product 1000 during the processing, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the product 1000 and improving the processing quality of the product 1000 at a lower cost.

[0039] Understandably, the translation mechanism 600 also includes a connector 650, which extends along a first direction. Multiple first limiting members 610 are fixed above the connector 650. A second drive assembly 640 passes through the lower mold module 520 and is located below the connector 650. The second drive assembly 640 drives the first limiting members 610 to rise via the connector 650. For example, as... Figures 5 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the translation mechanism 600 further includes a connector 650, which is fixed below the plurality of first limiting members 610 and can be vertically slidably connected to the translation member 620. The second driving component 640 is located below the connector 650 and passes through the lower mold module 520, so that it can pass through the lower mold module 520 to lift the connector 650, so that the first limiting members 610 can move upward, thereby driving the product 1000 to translate along the first direction.

[0040] It is understood that the translation mechanism 600 also includes a first reset member 660, which is disposed between the first limiting member 610 and the translation member 620, and is used to provide a restoring force for the first limiting member 610 to descend. For example, as Figures 5 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the translation mechanism 600 further includes a first reset member 660 located between the first limiting member 610 and the translation member 620. The first reset member 660 is used to provide an elastic restoring force that causes the first limiting member 610 to descend, so that when the upward pressure of the second driving member is lost, the first limiting member 610 will descend under the restoring force of the first reset member 660, so as to avoid the product 1000 during the translation in the opposite direction of the first direction.

[0041] It is understood that the positioning mechanism 800 includes a guide member 830, which abuts against the bottom of the positioning component 810. The guide member 830 is connected to the output end of the fourth drive member 820 and passes through the lower mold module 520. The upper surface of the guide member 830 is provided with a first plane 831 and a second plane 832 arranged sequentially along its own translational direction. The first plane 831 and the second plane 832 have different heights, and a guide surface 833 connects the first plane 831 and the second plane 832, so that the guide member 830 can translate under the drive of the fourth drive member 820 and support the positioning component 810 to rise. For example, as Figures 7 to 8As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 800 further includes a guide member 830 that abuts against the bottom of the positioning component 810. The guide member 830 can be translated under the drive of the fourth drive member 820. The upper surface of the guide member 830 is provided with a first plane 831 and a second plane 832 along its translation direction. The first plane 831 and the second plane 832 have different heights. Thus, the first plane 831 and the second plane 832 can abut against the bottom of the positioning component 810 in turn by the drive of the fourth drive member 820, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the positioning component 810. The guide surface 833 at the connection between the first plane 831 and the second plane 832 can make the guide member 830 move smoothly along the driving direction of the fourth drive member 820 without getting stuck with the positioning component 810.

[0042] It is understood that the positioning mechanism 800 also includes a second reset member 840. The positioning component 810 is embedded in the lower mold module 520, and the second reset member 840 is located between the lower mold module 520 and the positioning component 810, and is used to provide a restoring force for the positioning component 810 to descend. For example, as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 800 further includes a second reset member 840 located between the lower mold module 520 and the positioning component 810. The second reset member 840 is used to provide an elastic force to lower the positioning component 810. Therefore, when the lower plane of the first plane 831 and the second plane 832 is located at the bottom of the positioning component 810, the positioning component 810 can move downward under the action of the restoring force of the second reset member 840, thereby facilitating the avoidance between the first limit member 610, the product 1000 and the positioning component 810 during the horizontal movement of the first limit member 610 driving the product 1000.

[0043] It is understood that the fourth driving component 820 is used to drive the guide component 830 to translate along the second direction. Multiple positioning components 810 are provided and are arranged sequentially at intervals along the first direction. The guide component 830 is located below the connecting component 650, and the second driving component 640 is interspersed among the guide components 830. For example, as... Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide member 830 is provided with multiple guide members along the first direction and can be translated along the second direction under the drive of the fourth drive member 820, thereby enabling the lifting and lowering of multiple positioning components 810 provided along the first direction. In addition, the second drive component 640 is also disposed between the guide members 830, and the second drive component 640 can be avoided through the gap between adjacent guide members 830.

[0044] It should be understood that, such as Figure 9The lower mold module 520 includes a base plate 521 and a plurality of fixing members 522 spaced apart on the base plate 521. Accommodation positions 523 are formed between adjacent fixing members 522. A plurality of positioning components 810 are respectively embedded in each of the accommodation positions 523. The second reset member 840 is located below the fixing member 522 and above the positioning component 810, thereby realizing the downward elastic restoring force on the positioning component 810.

[0045] It should be understood that the base plate 521 is mounted on the workbench, and the second drive assembly 640 is installed through the base plate 521.

[0046] It is understandable that the placement positions consist of two groups, located on either side of the workstation in the second direction, with each group containing more placement positions than workstations. For example, as... Figures 3 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, by setting two sets of placement positions and placing them on both sides of the workstation in the second direction, the first limiting member 610 can limit both ends of the product 1000 during the translation of the product 1000, thereby achieving smooth translation of the product 1000, especially for tubular products 1000 extending along the second direction within the molding unit 100. Furthermore, the number of placement positions in each set is greater than the number of workstations, meaning the translation mechanism 600 will protrude from the lower mold module 520 along the first direction. This facilitates the placement of the product 1000 to be processed into the molding unit 100 by manual labor or a transfer mechanism, thus avoiding interference between the transfer mechanism and the upper mold module 510.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the translation mechanism 600 has more than one placement position at both ends in the first direction, which not only facilitates the placement of the product 1000 into the forming unit 100, but also facilitates the removal of the processed product 1000 from the forming unit 100.

[0048] Understandably, it also includes a limiting mechanism 900. The limiting mechanism 900 has two sets arranged side-by-side along the second direction and located outside the two placement positions. A guide rail extending along the first direction is formed between the two sets of limiting mechanisms 900. The guide rail is used to limit the product 1000 in the second direction and the height direction. The two ends of the guide rail in the first direction are an inlet end 910 and an outlet end 920, respectively. The distance between the two sets of limiting mechanisms 900 gradually decreases along the first direction at the inlet end 910. For example, as... Figure 3 , Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting mechanism 900 can limit the product 1000 entering the molding unit 100 in the second direction and in the height direction. Moreover, the guide rail formed by the limiting mechanism 900 gradually decreases in size at the inlet end 910 along the first direction, which facilitates the placement of the product 1000 at the inlet end 910 of the guide rail and facilitates the product 1000 entering the middle of the guide rail along the first direction, thereby playing a guiding role.

[0049] It should be understood that at the exit end 920 of the guide rail along the first direction, the width of the guide rail also gradually decreases in the second direction, thereby facilitating the removal of product 1000.

[0050] It is understood that the system also includes a detection unit 200 and a transfer unit 300. The transfer path of the transfer unit 300 passes through the detection unit 200 and the forming unit 100, and is used to transfer the product 1000. The detection unit 200 includes at least one of an orientation correction mechanism, a posture correction mechanism, and a length detection mechanism. The orientation correction mechanism includes a first detection mechanism 211 and a first correction mechanism 212. The detection end of the first detection mechanism 211 faces the first correction mechanism 212 and is used to detect whether the orientation of the product 1000 is qualified. The first correction mechanism 212 includes a fifth driving member, which is used to horizontally rotate the product 1000 with unqualified orientation to a qualified orientation. The posture correction mechanism includes a second detection mechanism 221 and a second correction mechanism 222. The detection end of the second detection mechanism 221 faces the second correction mechanism 222 and is used to detect whether the posture of the product 1000 is qualified. The second correction mechanism 222 includes a sixth drive component, which is used to drive the product 1000 to rotate to a qualified posture. The length detection mechanism includes a third support member 231, a third detection member 232 and a third limiting member 233. The third support member 231 is used to support the product 1000. The third limiting member 233 and the third detection member 232 are respectively located at both ends of the third support member 231. The third detection member 232 is used to detect whether the length of the product 1000 is qualified.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in this embodiment, the molding equipment further includes a detection unit 200 and a transfer unit 300. The transfer path of the transfer unit 300 passes through the detection unit 200 and the molding unit 100, so as to transfer the qualified product 1000 after detection to the molding unit 100 for molding processing. The detection unit 200 includes at least one of an orientation correction mechanism, a posture correction mechanism, and a length detection mechanism. The orientation correction mechanism includes a first detection mechanism 211 and a first correction mechanism 212. The detection end of the first detection mechanism 211 faces the first correction mechanism 212 to detect the orientation of the product 1000 on the first correction mechanism 212. If the orientation of the product 1000 is unqualified, it needs to be rotated horizontally to a qualified orientation state through the first correction mechanism 212. The posture correction mechanism includes a second detection mechanism 221 and a second correction mechanism 222. The detection end of the second detection mechanism 221 faces the second correction mechanism 222 to detect the orientation of the product 1000 on the second correction mechanism 222. If the posture of product 1000 is not qualified, the posture of product 1000 is corrected by the second correction mechanism 222. The length detection mechanism includes a third support member 231, a third detection member 232 and a third limiting member 233. The third support member 231 is used to support product 1000. The third limiting member 233 and the third detection member 232 are located at the two ends of the third support member 231, so that when product 1000 is placed on the third support member 231, one end of product 1000 abuts against the third limiting member 233, so that the third detection member 232 located at the other end can detect the length of the end of product 1000 away from the third limiting member 233, thereby detecting the length of product 1000.

[0052] Specifically, the first correction mechanism 212 includes a fifth driving component, which is a rotary cylinder. The rotary cylinder rotates the product 1000 on it horizontally to correct its orientation. The second correction mechanism 222 includes a second supporting component and a sixth driving assembly. The sixth driving assembly rotates the product 1000 on the second supporting component by a certain angle, thereby correcting the posture of the product 1000. This product 1000 is a tubular product; rotating the product 1000 adjusts the upward-facing outer surface. A waste discharge frame is provided on one side of the length detection mechanism. Products 1000 that fail the length detection are discarded into the same waste discharge frame.

[0053] Understandably, it also includes a tray splitting and stacking unit 400. Two sets of tray splitting and stacking units 400 are provided, one for providing the product 1000 to be processed and the other for storing the processed product 1000. The transfer path of the transfer unit 300 passes through the two sets of tray splitting and stacking units 400. Each tray splitting and stacking unit 400 includes a frame 410, a tray splitting mechanism 420, a tray stacking mechanism 430, and a moving mechanism. The tray splitting mechanism 420 is used to separate stacked trays into individual trays, and the tray stacking mechanism 430 is used to stack the individual trays together. The tray splitting mechanism 420 and the tray stacking mechanism 430 are arranged along a second direction, and a tray placement position 440 is formed between them. The tray placement position 440 is used to temporarily place a single tray. The moving mechanism is located below the tray splitting mechanism 420 and the tray stacking mechanism 430 and is used to move the tray between the tray splitting mechanism 420, the tray placement position 440, and the tray stacking mechanism 430. For example, as... Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the stacking and unstacking unit 400 is provided in two sets. One set is used to provide the product 1000 to be punched; the other set is used to store the punched product 1000. The two stacking and unstacking units 400 have the same structure. The first stacking and unstacking unit 400 will be described below. The stacking and unstacking unit 400 includes a frame 410, a moving mechanism, and a stacking and unstacking mechanism 420 and a stacking mechanism 430 respectively provided at both ends of the frame 410. A moving mechanism is positioned below the disassembly mechanism 420 and the stacking mechanism 430 to move and transport the trays located in the disassembly mechanism 420 and the stacking mechanism 430. A tray placement position 440 is formed between the disassembly mechanism 420 and the stacking mechanism 430. After the disassembly mechanism 420 separates the stacked empty trays into individual trays, the moving mechanism moves the individual trays to the tray placement position 440 so that the first transfer mechanism 310 can pick them up. After all the products 1000 in the trays are picked up, they are moved again to the stacking mechanism 430 by the moving mechanism to stack the empty trays. This cycle is repeated to achieve automated disassembly and stacking. The disassembly mechanism 420 and the stacking mechanism 430 are arranged along the second direction, and the moving mechanism is also used to move the products 1000 along the second direction.

[0054] Specifically, the transfer unit 300 includes a first transfer mechanism 310, a second transfer mechanism 320, and a third transfer mechanism 330. The first transfer mechanism 310 is disposed between the first destacking tray unit 400 and the detection unit 200, and is used to transfer the product 1000 from the destacking tray unit 400 to the detection unit 200. The second transfer mechanism 320 is disposed between the detection unit 200 and the forming unit 100, and is used to transfer the qualified product 1000 after detection to the forming unit 100. The third transfer mechanism 330 is disposed between the forming unit 100 and the second destacking tray unit 400, and is used to transfer the stamped product 1000 onto the second destacking tray unit 400 for unified and centralized storage.
