Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of combined processing equipment, and in particular to a combined processing equipment for automated production of rectangular strip products in a stacking section, and a method for automated production of rectangular strip products in a stacking section. Background Technology

[0002] Metal rectangular strips are rectangular strips of metal that are widely used in various industries and fields. These rectangular strips are indispensable materials in construction, machinery, electronics, automotive, and many other industries due to their durability, high plasticity, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity.

[0003] When plastically forming rectangular metal strips, a stacking forming process is often used. This stacking forming process is a widely applied plastic forming technology in the metal processing industry. It involves stacking and processing multiple layers of material to create products with complex shapes and performance requirements. In traditional processes, before stacking, the strip is manually placed into a heating fixture and heated to a specified temperature. After heating, the strip is quickly and manually placed into a mold for stacking and stamping.

[0004] Based on this, Chinese Patent CN117244988A discloses a titanium alloy material stacking forming device and process, which includes: an upper part of an actuating device and a lower part of an actuating device, wherein the upper part of the actuating device and the lower part of the actuating device are arranged to open and close relative to each other. The upper part of the actuating device is provided with an upper mold base, a fixed pad, a fixed plate, a pressure plate, several pressure springs, a side insert, a central insert, and a guide sleeve; the lower part of the actuating device is provided with a lower mold base, a lower mold pad, a material groove positioning part, a side stacking slider, a central limiting moving block, and several guide pillars. The process of this titanium alloy material stacking forming device can automatically press the titanium alloy raw material and simultaneously perform stacking forming processing on the raw material. This process does not require the participation of actuating mechanisms such as cylinders or hydraulic cylinders, but rather the various components directly perform mechanical reciprocating actions, which significantly improves the forming and processing efficiency of titanium alloy materials.

[0005] However, the aforementioned stacking forming apparatus and process still suffer from technical problems, including the inability to consistently and stably complete the stacking forming process and the difficulty in precisely controlling processing parameters. Specifically, as mentioned in the introduction, before stacking, the strip material needs to be manually placed into a heating fixture and heated to a specified temperature by a heating device. After heating, the strip material needs to be quickly and manually placed into a mold for stacking and stamping. It should be noted that the speed at which the heated strip material is placed into the stamping mold, the heating temperature, and the mold closing speed all affect the stacking forming dimensions of the product. This places high demands on the operator's skills, requiring proficiency in cyclical movements and constant monitoring of changes in various processing parameters. Furthermore, the high temperature of the heated strip material also affects the safety of the operator during manual handling. Moreover, during the strip material re-forming process, operations such as loading, heating, unloading, equipment start-up, and mold closing are all performed manually, resulting in low production efficiency and only suitable for product prototyping and small-batch production. The lack of close coordination between the aforementioned production stages due to manual operation can also have a certain impact on the forming quality of strip products. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 9The present invention discloses an automated production equipment for a rectangular strip material stacking section, comprising: a stepped feeding machine module 1, a feeding posture calibration module 2, a conveyor belt module 3, a waiting material transfer module 4, a multi-station feeding robot module 5, a high-frequency heating module 6, a reciprocating hydraulic press module 7, an upper mold module 8, an alternating lower mold module 9, and an unloading robot module 10; the feeding posture calibration module 2 is disposed on the upper part of the stepped feeding machine module 1, and the feeding posture calibration module 2 is connected to the stepped feeding machine module 1 and the conveyor belt module 3 respectively; the conveyor belt module 3 and the waiting material transfer module 4 are connected to the waiting material transfer module 5, a multi-station feeding robot module 6, a high-frequency heating module 7, a reciprocating hydraulic press module 8, an upper mold module 9, an alternating lower mold module 10 .... The transfer module 4 is connected, and the multi-station loading robot module 5 is connected to the material transfer module 4 and the high-frequency heating module 6 respectively; the reciprocating hydraulic press module 7 is driven to connect to the upper mold module 8, and the alternating lower mold module 9 is arranged below the upper mold module 8; the multi-station loading robot module 5 is connected to the high-frequency heating module 6 and the alternating lower mold module 9 respectively; a plurality of unloading robot modules 10 are respectively arranged on both sides below the upper mold module 8, and each unloading robot module 10 is connected to the alternating lower mold module 9.

[0026] Specifically, when the automated production equipment for stacking rectangular strip products of the present invention is in operation, the operator puts the blank of the rectangular strip product with the required size into the external hopper structure in advance, and starts the stepped feeder module 1. When the stepped feeder in the stepped feeder module 1 is running, it can transfer the product blank to the feeding posture calibration module 2 provided at the top of the stepped feeder module.

[0027] Next, the external infrared light sensor can identify whether the posture of the product blank in the feeding posture correction module 2 meets the requirements of lying flat. If it meets the requirements, the product blank in the feeding posture correction module 2 continues to flow to the conveyor belt module 3 for further conveying. If it does not meet the requirements of lying flat, that is, the product blank is upright or tilted, the feeding posture correction module 2 removes the product blank that does not meet the posture requirements and returns it to the external return hopper. Then, it continues to be sorted and queued by the stepped feeding machine module 1 to the top, and the feeding posture identification process is repeated.

[0028] Afterwards, the product blank, with its posture calibrated, lies flat and enters the conveyor belt module 3, where it is carried to the clamping area of ​​the waiting transfer module 4. Then, the multi-station loading robot module 5 clamps the blank and moves it into the waiting area of ​​the waiting transfer module 4; at this time, a new product blank continues to flow into the vacated clamping area. Simultaneously, the multi-station loading robot module 5 clamps and sends a product blank from the waiting area to the high-frequency heating module 6, and sends another product blank from the waiting area to the vacated waiting area; at the same time, the conveyor belt module 3 continues to feed a new product blank into the clamping area. Afterwards, each of the conveyor belt module 3, the clamping area, the waiting area, and the high-frequency heating module 6 simultaneously holds one product blank.

[0029] After the product blank in the high-frequency heating module 6 is heated to a preset temperature, the lower mold area of ​​the alternating lower mold module 9 moves below the upper mold module 8, waiting for mold closing and matching with the upper mold module 8. At this time, the multi-station loading robot module 5 continues to send the heated product blank in the high-frequency heating module 6 into the lower mold area of ​​the alternating lower mold module 9. Simultaneously, the multi-station loading robot module 5 moves the product blanks in the clamping area and the waiting area forward by one station, so as to achieve: the product blank in the clamping area is placed into the waiting area, the product blank in the waiting area is placed into the high-frequency heating module 6, and the conveyor belt module 3 continues to transfer new product blanks into the clamping area.

[0030] Next, when the reciprocating hydraulic press module 7 drives one of the upper mold module 8 and the alternating lower mold module 9, which is loaded with a heated product blank, to complete the mold closing action, the stacking and forming process of a product blank is completed.

[0031] After the stacking and forming of the product blanks is completed, the reciprocating hydraulic press module 7 drives the upper mold 8 to move upwards and return to its initial position. Then, the alternating lower mold module 9 continues to drive another lower mold area to move directly below the upper mold module 8. The multi-station loading robot module 5 and the transmission belt module 3 repeatedly replenish materials at each station. Simultaneously, the reciprocating hydraulic press module 7 repeatedly drives the upper mold module 8 to close with the other lower mold area. At the same time, the lower mold area in the alternating lower mold module 9, which has already undergone stacking processing, is driven to the adjacent side of the unloading robot module 10, where the unloading robot module 10 unloads the product blanks that have completed stacking processing from that lower mold area.

[0032] Subsequently, another lower mold area in the alternating lower mold module 9, carrying the product blank that has completed the stacking and forming process, moves from below the upper mold module 8 to the adjacent side of another unloading robot module 10. Simultaneously, the multi-station loading robot module 5 repeats the material replenishment action, the high-frequency heating module 6 repeats the heating process, and the reciprocating hydraulic press module 7 repeatedly drives the mold closing action to stack and form the product. While the unloading robot module 10 unloads the product that has completed the stacking process, each moving part repeats the aforementioned material replenishment and other actions. This enables a continuous automated production process for stacking rectangular strip products. During this process, the timeliness of each processing step alternates to form a loop, avoiding wasted processing time and allowing precise control of the natural connection of each processing step. This achieves precise and stable control of the automated production process for stacking rectangular strip products.

[0033] Furthermore, the stepped feeding machine module 1 has a stepped feeding bin structure 101, a stepped feeding mechanism 102, and a stepped feeding control box 103; the stepped feeding mechanism 102 is disposed in the stepped feeding bin structure 101, the feeding posture calibration module 2 is disposed on the top of the stepped feeding mechanism 102, and the stepped feeding control box 103 is controlled and connected to the stepped feeding bin structure 101.

[0034] Furthermore, the feeding posture calibration module 2 has a roller structure 201, a limiting frame 202, a telescopic push rod structure 203, and a return drive cylinder 204; the roller structure 201 is located adjacent to the limiting frame 202 at the upper part of the stepped feeding machine module 1; the telescopic push rod structure 203 is movably connected to the limiting frame 202, and the return drive cylinder 204 is drivenly connected to the telescopic push rod structure 203.

[0035] Furthermore, the conveyor belt module 3 includes a conveyor belt support frame 301, a conveyor belt power unit 302, a conveyor belt transmission structure 303, and a conveyor belt 304; the conveyor belt support frame 301 is connected to the stepped feeding module 1, the conveyor belt power unit 302 is disposed on the side of the conveyor belt support frame 301, the conveyor belt power unit 302 is poweredly connected to the conveyor belt transmission structure 303, the conveyor belt transmission structure 303 connects the conveyor belt power unit 302 and the conveyor belt 304 respectively, and the conveyor belt 304 is disposed below the limiting frame 202.

[0036] Specifically, strip products introduced from the stepped feeding hopper structure 101 into the stepped feeding mechanism 102 and conveyed upwards by it can be guided and have their posture corrected by the roller structure 201, and then limited to the conveyor belt 304 by the limiting frame 202. If a strip product has an uncorrectable or incorrect posture, with the assistance of an external visual monitoring device, the return drive cylinder 204 can drive the telescopic push rod structure 203 to extend from the limiting frame 202, and then the unqualified strip product will fall back into the stepped feeding hopper structure 101; the feeding and posture correction process will then be repeated until its posture is qualified before proceeding to the next step.

[0037] Furthermore, the material transfer module 4 includes a transfer support platform 401, a clamping support frame 402, and a material waiting support frame 403. The clamping support frame 402 and the material waiting support frame 403 are respectively arranged adjacent to each other on the transfer support platform 401. The clamping support frame 402 is connected to one end of the conveyor belt 304. Specifically, the strip products transferred from the conveyor belt 304 can fall directly into the clamping support frame 402, so that they can wait for the multi-station loading robot module 5 to clamp and transfer them to the material waiting support frame 403.

[0038] Furthermore, the multi-station loading robot module 5 includes a first robot support frame 501, a moving guide rail 502, a moving power motor 503, a moving lead screw 504, a moving slider 505, a second robot support frame 506, a vertical moving guide rail 507, an eccentric power motor 508, an eccentric wheel structure 509, a robot connecting frame 510, a roller structure 511, and several cylinder-type clamping robots 512; the first robot support frame 501 is connected to the transfer support platform 401, the moving guide rail 502 is connected to the first robot support frame 501, the moving power motor 503 is disposed at one end of the moving guide rail 502, the moving power motor 503 is drivenly connected to the moving lead screw 504, and the moving lead screw 504 is poweredly connected to the moving slider 505; The movable slider 505 is movably connected to the movable guide rail 502; the second support frame 506 of the robot arm is connected to the movable slider 505; the vertical movable guide rail 507 is disposed on the side of the second support frame 506 of the robot arm; the eccentric power machine 508 is connected to the second support frame 506 of the robot arm; the eccentric power machine 508 is drivenly connected to the eccentric wheel structure 509; the robot arm connecting frame 510 is movably connected to the side of the vertical movable guide rail 507; the roller structure 511 is disposed at one end of the robot arm connecting frame 510; the eccentric wheel structure 509 is connected to the roller structure 511; a plurality of cylinder-type gripping robots 512 are evenly distributed relative to the roller structure 511 at the other end of the robot arm connecting frame 510.

[0039] Specifically, the mobile power unit 503 can drive the mobile lead screw 504 to rotate, thereby causing the mobile slider 505 to be driven like a lead screw block, thus reciprocating along the mobile guide rail 502, and consequently driving the second support frame 506 of the robot arm to reciprocate along the range of the mobile guide rail 502. Afterwards, when the eccentric power unit 508 is energized, it can drive the eccentric wheel structure 509 to rotate forward or backward, thereby reciprocating from above or below the roller structure 511; when the eccentric wheel structure 509 moves from above to below the roller structure 511, the roller structure 511 is pushed down, thereby driving the robot arm connecting frame 510 to descend along the limit of the vertical mobile guide rail 507. At this time, the cylinder-type clamping robot arm 512 can descend to clamp the strip product. Similarly, when the eccentric power machine 508 drives the eccentric wheel structure 509 to abut against the roller structure 511 from below to above, the robot arm connecting frame 510 can be lifted to realize the transfer of strip products until the product is moved to the next preset station, and then the action of fully descending to release the material.

Figures 10-13 A method for using the aforementioned automated production equipment for rectangular strip products includes the following steps: S1: The stepped feeding machine module 1 delivers the product blank to the feeding posture calibration module 2 located at its top; then, the feeding posture calibration module 2 determines whether the posture of the product blank meets the requirements; if it meets the requirements, the product blank in the feeding posture calibration module 2 continues to flow to the conveyor belt module 3 for further conveying; if it does not meet the requirements, the feeding posture calibration module 2 removes the non-compliant product blank and returns it to the stepped feeding machine module 1, and then the stepped feeding machine module 1 queues it up again for feeding, and the feeding posture identification process is repeated; S2: After the product blank's posture has been calibrated, it enters the conveyor belt module 3 and is driven by the conveyor belt module 3 to the clamping area of ​​the waiting transfer module 4. Then, the multi-station loading robot module 5 clamps the blank and enters the waiting area of ​​the waiting transfer module 4. At this time, a new product blank continues to flow into the empty clamping area. Simultaneously, the multi-station loading robot module 5 clamps and sends the product blank in the waiting area to the high-frequency heating module 6, sends another product blank in the clamping area to the empty waiting area, and the conveyor belt module 3 continues to feed a new product blank into the clamping area. After this, each of the conveyor belt module 3, the clamping area, the waiting area, and the high-frequency heating module 6 simultaneously holds a product blank. S3: When the product blank in the high-frequency heating module 6 is heated to the preset temperature, the lower mold area of ​​the alternating lower mold module 9 enters the lower part of the upper mold module 8, waiting to be matched and connected with the upper mold module 8; at this time, the multi-station loading robot module 5 continues to send the heated product blank in the high-frequency heating module 6 into the lower mold area of ​​the alternating lower mold module 9. At the same time, the multi-station loading robot module 5 moves the product blanks in the clamping area and the waiting area forward by one station, so as to achieve: the product blank in the clamping area is placed into the waiting area, the product blank in the waiting area is placed into the high-frequency heating module 6, and the conveyor belt module 3 continues to transfer new product blanks into the clamping area; S4: When the reciprocating hydraulic press module 7 drives one of the upper mold module 8 and the alternating lower mold module 9, which is loaded with a heated product blank, to complete the mold closing action, the stacking and forming processing of a product blank is completed. S5: After the product blank is stacked and formed, the reciprocating hydraulic press module 7 drives the upper mold 8 to move upward and return to the initial position; then, the alternating lower mold module 9 continues to drive another lower mold area to move directly below the upper mold module 8; the multi-station loading robot module 5 and the transmission belt module 3 repeatedly replenish materials at each station; at the same time, the reciprocating hydraulic press module 7 repeatedly drives the upper mold module 8 and the other lower mold area to close; at the same time, the lower mold area loaded with the stacked material in the alternating lower mold module 9 is driven to move to the adjacent side of the unloading robot module 10, and the unloading robot module 10 unloads the product blank that has completed the stacking material in the lower mold area; S6: The other lower mold area in the alternating lower mold module 9, carrying the product blank that has completed the stacking and forming process, moves from below the upper mold module 8 to the adjacent side of the other unloading robot module 10; simultaneously, the multi-station loading robot module 5 repeats the material replenishment action, the high-frequency heating module 6 repeats the heating treatment action, and the reciprocating hydraulic press module 7 repeatedly drives the mold closing action to stack and form the product. While the unloading robot module 10 is unloading the product that has completed the stacking and forming process, each moving part repeats the aforementioned material replenishment and other actions.
