[0040] See also Figure 1 , caster structure introduction: the caster bracket 1 includes a main frame 11 and a wheel hole 12 and a shaft hole 13 opened on the main frame 11. The main frame 11 here refers to the rotating frame mentioned in the background technology. As for the wheel hole 12 and the shaft hole 13 on the main frame 11, they are only for the convenience of describing the subsequent description of the present invention.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 In the traditional manufacturing process, positioning deviation of the workpiece is a common problem, which not only affects the dimensional accuracy of the product, but may also cause surface defects. The present embodiment discloses a stamping and forming device for a caster bracket 1, the stamping and forming device is used for processing from a coil to a caster bracket 1, the coil having a wheel hole 12 and a shaft hole 13; the stamping and forming device includes a forming module 2 with a shearing function and a stamping function, the shearing function of the forming module 2 is used to make the coil into a bracket sheet material, and the stamping function of the forming module 2 is used to make the bracket sheet material into a caster bracket 1; the stamping and forming device integrates the two functions of shearing and stamping, so that the entire production process from the coil to the final finished caster bracket 1 can be completed on one device, without the need to transfer the workpiece to other machines for secondary processing. This design not only saves space, but also reduces the errors that may be caused by multiple handling of workpieces.

[0043] See also Figure 3The forming module 2 is composed of a forming convex die 21 and a forming concave die 22. The forming convex die 21 has a guide 211, and the forming concave die 22 has a guide hole 221. When the forming module 2 performs the shearing function, the guide 211 and the guide hole 221 cooperate with the wheel hole 12 or the shaft hole 13 on the coil to position, thereby improving the processing accuracy. By setting the guide 211 on the forming convex die 21 and the guide hole 221 on the forming concave die 22, and these guide components can directly cooperate with the wheel hole 12 or the shaft hole 13 on the coil to position, the positioning accuracy during the processing is greatly improved; ensuring that even when processing a movable bracket with a complex shape or requiring high-precision positioning, the workpiece can be accurately operated in key processes such as bending and punching.

[0044] See also Figure 4 The forming punch 21 includes a punch seat 212, on which a main body 213 and side wings 214 are provided on both sides of the main body 213; the forming die 22 includes a die seat 222, on which a shearing groove 223 is provided, which is mainly used to cooperate with a shearing head to complete the shearing operation of the material. A punching groove 224 is provided in the shearing groove, and the punching groove 224 interacts with the punching head during the punching process to ensure that the workpiece can be accurately punched and formed. The position of the main body 213 and the side wing 214 can be adjusted; when the bottom surfaces of the main body 213 and the side wing 214 are in the same horizontal plane, a shearing head is formed, and with the cooperation of the shearing head and the shearing groove 223, the shearing function of the forming punch 21 in the forming module 2 is realized; when the bottom surfaces of the main body 213 and the side wing 214 are in a convex structure, a stamping head is formed, and with the cooperation of the stamping head and the stamping groove 224, the stamping function of the forming punch 21 in the forming module 2 is realized.

[0045] See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 , the side wings 214 are fixedly arranged on the punch seat 212, the main body 213 is slidably arranged on the punch seat 212, and the main body 213 moves in a direction perpendicular to the punch seat 212, so that the forming punch 21 switches between the shearing head and the punching head; specifically, when the shearing operation needs to be performed, the bottom surfaces of the main body 213 and the side wings 214 are at the same horizontal plane to form the shearing head; and when the punching operation needs to be performed, the main body 213 descends so that its bottom surface is lower than the side wings 214 to form the punching head. This design ensures fast and accurate switching between the two functions and reduces the error caused by equipment adjustment.

[0046] The guide member 211 is slidably arranged on the side wing 214, and the guide member 211 moves in a direction perpendicular to the punch seat 212, so that the guide member 211 can be retracted and protruded on the side wing 214; when the forming punch 21 is switched to the shearing head, the guide member 211 protrudes on the side wing 214, so that the guide member 211 and the guide hole 221 are matched with the wheel hole 12 or the shaft hole 13 on the coil for positioning, thereby improving the processing accuracy; in the shearing stage, the guide member 211 protrudes on the side wing 214, so that the wheel hole 12 or the shaft hole 13 on the coil can be directly used as a reference point for precise positioning. The coordinated use of the guide member 211 and the guide hole 221 greatly improves the accuracy of workpiece positioning, thereby ensuring the dimensional accuracy during the shearing process. When the forming punch 21 is switched to the punching head, the guide member 211 is retracted on the side wing 214 to avoid the guide member 211 from hindering the stamping forming of the bracket sheet. When switching to the stamping stage, the guide member 211 will automatically retract into the side wing 214 to avoid any obstruction to the stamping of the bracket sheet. This design ensures that the existence of the guide member 211 will not cause unnecessary interference or errors during the stamping process, thereby ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the final product.

[0047] See also Fig. 9The punch seat 212 is provided with a control circuit 215, and the openings at both ends of the control circuit 215 face the same direction. The two ends of the control circuit 215 are respectively provided with a first piston 216 and a second piston 217, the first piston 216 is connected to the main body 213, and the second piston 217 is connected to the guide member 211, and the movement of the main body 213 and the guide member 211 is controlled by the control circuit 215; when the bottom surfaces of the main body 213 and the side wing 214 are in the same horizontal plane, the guide member 211 protrudes on the side wing 214; when the bottom surfaces of the main body 213 and the side wing 214 are in a convex structure, the guide member 211 is retracted on the side wing 214. The caliber of the first piston 216 is smaller than that of the second piston 217, so that the moving stroke of the main body 213 is greater than the moving stroke of the guide member 211; while the volume of the main body 213 is enlarged to meet the stamping requirements, the large moving stroke can also align the main body 213 and the side wing 214 during shearing, and the guide member 211 can also be made smaller to meet the guidance and adapt to the size of the wheel hole 12 and the shaft hole 13 on the caster main frame 11. The bottom surface of the main body 213 and the side wing 214 can be quickly and accurately adjusted to the same horizontal plane (for the shearing head form) or form a convex structure (for the stamping head form), while ensuring that the guide member 211 can accurately protrude or retract when needed; so that the equipment can dynamically adjust the position of the main body 213 and the guide member 211 according to the needs of the current processing stage. For example, in the shearing stage, the guide member 211 protrudes to improve the positioning accuracy; while in the stamping stage, the guide member 211 is retracted to avoid interference. A telescopic component 218 is provided at the location of the second piston 217, and the output end of the telescopic component 218 is connected to the second piston 217. The telescopic component 218 controls the movement of the second piston 217 in the control circuit 215, thereby driving the main body 213 and the guide member 211 to move.

[0048] See also Figure 7 , Figure 8, the shearing groove 223 is matched with the shearing head formed by the main body 213 and the side wings 214 to ensure that the material can be accurately cut during the shearing process. The main body 213 is matched with the stamping groove 224, and the depth of the shearing groove 223 is less than the depth of the stamping groove 224, which provides space for the subsequent stamping process. A stamping support plate 225 is arranged in the stamping groove 224, and shearing support plates 226 are arranged on both sides of the stamping support plate 225 in the shearing groove 223; the guide hole 221 is arranged on the shearing support plate 226, and the existence of the guide hole 221 is to cooperate with the guide member 211 on the punch to ensure that the workpiece can be accurately positioned during the shearing stage. When the guide member 211 protrudes and cooperates with the guide hole 221, the positioning accuracy can be greatly improved, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the shearing position. The stamping support plate 225 and the shearing support plate 226 are both slidably arranged in the groove; when the shearing support plate 226 is located below the notch of the shearing groove 223 and the stamping support plate 225 is raised in the stamping groove 224, so that the stamping support plate 225 and the shearing support plate 226 are in the same horizontal plane, the shearing function of the forming die 22 in the forming module 2 is realized; when the stamping support plate 225 descends to the bottom end of the stamping groove 224, the stamping function of the forming die 22 in the forming module 2 is realized; when the stamping support plate 225 and the shearing support plate 226 both move the notch of the shearing groove 223, the material return of the caster bracket 1 after stamping is realized.

[0049] The stamping support plate 225 and the shearing support plate 226 are both provided with independent piston cavities in the die seat 222, and the piston cavity of the stamping support plate 225 is controlled to adopt a multi-stage telescopic structure to meet the movement requirements of the stamping support plate 225. The movement of the stamping support plate 225 and the shearing support plate 226 is controlled by controlling the amount of gas in the corresponding piston cavity; it not only provides high-precision position adjustment capabilities, but also utilizes the compressibility of gas to play a buffering role during the operation. When the forming die 22 is performing stamping and shearing operations, the shearing support plate 226 is not located at the bottom of the shearing groove 223, in order to provide a buffer with the help of the compressibility of gas, reduce the impact force on the workpiece, and prevent deformation or damage caused by hard contact. Specifically, when performing stamping or shearing operations, the shearing support plate 226 will not completely drop to the bottom of the shearing groove 223, but maintain a certain gap. The purpose of this is to provide a buffer with the help of the compressibility of the gas, reduce the impact force on the workpiece, and prevent deformation or damage caused by hard contact. When the punching operation is performed, the punch head is pressed down quickly. If it directly contacts the hard surface, it may cause the workpiece to deform or the equipment to be damaged; because there is space under the shear support plate 226 and it is filled with gas, the compressibility of the gas can absorb the impact energy to a certain extent, provide the necessary buffer, protect the workpiece from damage, and also extend the service life of the equipment. By independently controlling the amount of gas in the piston cavity of each support plate, very precise position adjustment can be achieved; whether it is the shearing or stamping stage, the support plate can be adjusted to the most suitable height as needed to ensure processing accuracy; the gas buffer mechanism reduces vibration and impact during the processing process, helps to maintain the stability and consistency of the workpiece, and further improves the dimensional accuracy of the final product.

[0050] See also Fig.10The punching forming equipment includes a punching module 3, which is used to process the wheel hole 12 and the shaft hole 13 on the coil; the punching module 3 includes an upper die base 31 and a lower die base 32, the upper die base 31 is provided with a punching head 33, and the lower die base 32 is provided with a punching hole 34, the punching head 33 and the punching hole 34 are adapted to ensure that the required wheel hole 12 and shaft hole 13 can be accurately formed on the coil during the punching operation. A base 35 is slidably provided on the punching head 33, and the main function of the base 35 is to fix the coil during the punching process, ensuring that the coil does not move or deflect when subjected to the punching force, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the hole position. The base 35 is used to fix the coil during the punching operation; a buffer spring 36 is provided between the base 35 and the upper die base 31, and the buffer spring 36 is used to provide support for the base 35; the buffer spring 36 not only helps to absorb the impact force during the punching process and reduce damage to the coil, but also ensures that the base 35 applies appropriate pressure when contacting the coil to maintain the stability of the coil. Regarding the movement of the coil between the punching module 3 and the forming module 2 and the picking up of the material after the caster support stamping and forming: the intermittent transportation of the coil and the picking up of the material have long been mature technical applications on the market, which will not be repeated here.
