[0033] A hydraulic cylinder, also known as an oil cylinder, is a hydraulic actuator that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy and performs linear reciprocating motion (or swinging motion). It has a simple structure and reliable operation. When using it to achieve reciprocating motion, the reduction device can be eliminated, there is no transmission gap, and the movement is smooth. At the same time, the oil cylinder has a higher power density than the mechanical structure of a conventional motor reducer, so it is widely used in the hydraulic systems of various machines. However, in terms of the specific application scenario of the titanium ingot forming automated production line, if a single oil cylinder is used in conjunction with a conveyor roller to meet the delivery between the discharging, weighing, flipping, and stacking processes of the titanium ingots after pressing and forming, due to its long stroke, it is bound to be necessary to increase the length of the cylinder and the piston to increase the sliding distance of the piston, but this inevitably increases the installation space, and it cannot be used under conditions where the installation space is small, and the flexibility of use is poor. When a shaft or rod-like part such as a piston rod is extended, it is in a cantilever state. The longer it is, the easier it is to bend under the action of its own gravity. It is also difficult to repair after being damaged, which greatly affects production efficiency. Moreover, in terms of the application scenario of the titanium ingot pressing process, if a single oil cylinder is used, its stroke must be expanded, and the push head at the end of the long-stroke piston rod will inevitably droop after it is fully extended. The axis of its force will be tilted, which will cause it to intersect with the center of the pushed titanium ingot, and then the titanium ingot pressed into a green body will collide with the roller of the transmission line, causing defects such as missing edges and corners on the product, affecting product quality.

[0071] The technical solution of the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with a specific embodiment. It should be noted that this specific embodiment is only for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be regarded as an unreasonable limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.
[0072] Embodiment 1 After the titanium electrode titanium ingot is placed in the die sleeve and the die core die hole, the upper die mechanism moves downward for pressing. The forming force is transmitted to the bottom die seat through the product, and then diffused to the solid body in the center of the lower beam through the bottom die seat. After the pressing is completed, the first jacking component is started to lift the die sleeve, and the second push cylinder is started to drive the U-shaped block at the front end to move along the second guide rail laid on the lower cross beam to the lower end of the die sleeve. The first jacking component falls, and the lower end of the die sleeve contacts the top of the U-shaped block. At this time, the upper die mechanism moves downward again to squeeze the formed titanium electrode titanium ingot into the notch of the U-shaped block. After the titanium ingot is completely removed, the third push cylinder nested in the notch of the U-shaped push block is started to push the product to the specified position of the production line. Then, the third push cylinder retreats, the first jacking component starts to lift slightly, the second push cylinder retreats, and the first jacking component moves downward until the die sleeve contacts the bottom die seat, and the next working cycle can be carried out.
[0073] The third pushing cylinder in the mold transports the formed titanium ingot to the designated position of the rotating table. Further, the rotating table rotates the formed titanium ingot product 90° to make the stainless steel titanium ingot pusher in the pushing device at the center of the titanium ingot cross section vertical. Further, the pushing device receives the instruction from the program PLC to push the titanium ingot from the rotating table to the weighing table. After weighing, the pushing device pushes the titanium ingot to the rotating cage flipping assembly according to the program instruction. The rotating cage flipping assembly is a special equipment for rotating and splicing the pressed titanium pole blocks. After the rotating cage flipping assembly assembles the two titanium pole blocks, the pusher head in the pushing device receives the instruction to push the titanium ingot to the stacking table for stacking. The stacking table is composed of an unpowered roller. Under the action of the pushing device, benefiting from the high power density of the cylinder, the pressed products are stacked one by one in a push-to-front manner to form long strip electrodes with flat appearance and seams connected. At this point, a working cycle ends, and the pushing device retreats to wait for the next working cycle.
[0074] Compared with the prior art, the titanium ingot electrode forming system of the embodiment of the present invention has the following technical effects: (1) Due to the concentrated load characteristics of the electrode pressing process, the lower crossbeam is embedded with a solid structure, which reduces the weight of the mold, simplifies the mold structure, and improves the stiffness of the lower crossbeam. Under the same conditions, the stiffness of the lower crossbeam is increased from about 1 / 6000 to 1 / 9000.
[0075] (2) The U-shaped stopper is nested with the second and third push cylinders. After the product is demoulded, the second push cylinder nested in the U-shaped stopper can push the product to the designated position of the production line, solving the problem of connection between processes during the pressing of titanium ingot electrodes. (3) The third push cylinder in the lower die mechanism can also be used for dual purposes, with the function of mobile die changing. When maintaining the die punch and die core, the upper and lower die assemblies can be removed by removing the connection end with the die lifting cylinder, eliminating the need for the hydraulic press to be equipped with a mobile workbench function accessory; (4) The working conditions are improved. In the process of pushing the formed titanium ingot, there is no need to repeatedly manipulate the bulky titanium block like a manual crowbar, and the number of operators can be reduced. It has the characteristics of reliable operation, labor saving, improved production efficiency and product quality, and meets the requirements of mass production of products.
[0076] (5) A pushing device is used, that is, through the coordination of a single-cylinder double-piston rod oil cylinder and a linear guide structure, and through the use of a wire ruler push head displacement detection component and a controller to accurately control the process position of the titanium ingot being pushed, the accuracy of the position of the pushing device is ensured, and the precise handling and positioning of the formed products can be achieved. Compared with professional manipulators, it has a simple structure and control principle, is easy to use, has high reliability, is economical to operate and has low production costs, and has the characteristics of matching production capacity, good production connection, and easy operation, which has significant economic benefits for equipment users.
[0077] (6) By adopting a single-cylinder double-piston rod oil cylinder and a linear guide structure, the thickness and size space of the two cylinder bottoms are eliminated, and the extension stroke of the output piston rod can be greatly increased within a limited space, and the overall length and installation space can be greatly reduced within the same stroke, or the output shaft stroke can be greatly increased within the same space. The space utilization rate is high and the application scenarios are diverse, which can solve the long-stroke connection between the titanium ingot electrode pressing processes; at the same time, the double piston rods share the same cylinder, the double piston rods are opposite, one cylinder has two output rods, and the cylinder body is movable; at the rear end of the oil cylinder, the rear end cylinder moving rod is fixed; at the front end of the oil cylinder, the front end rod moving cylinder is fixed. In this way, the overall stroke is divided into two, and the whole is broken into parts, so that the short-stroke hydraulic cylinder relay can achieve a large stroke and each stroke has reliable support, so that the second piston rod is connected to the push head and still maintains sufficient rigidity after it is extended, ensuring the stability of the pusher, solving the problem of the cantilever drooping after the long-stroke oil cylinder piston rod end is extended, avoiding the titanium ingot product from being damaged by bumps due to uneven density of granular material pressing due to the non-parallel action line of the second piston rod, and improving the quality of the product.
