AI Technical Summary
Existing flying shears are prone to widening of the blade gap when shearing thin plates, resulting in shearing burrs and incomplete shearing, which affects the surface quality of the sheared section.
The plate and belt double crank flying shear uses a locking assembly and a blade gap adjustment assembly to maintain the synchronous movement of the upper and lower blades. Combined with a high wear-resistant guide rail and a lubrication system, it ensures the stability of the blade gap.
This effectively prevents the blade gap from widening during the shearing process, improves shearing accuracy and finished product quality, ensures stable shearing of thin plates, and reduces shearing burrs and incomplete shearing.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sheet metal processing and manufacturing technology. Specifically, it relates to a double-crank flying shear for sheet metal strips that improves blade gap stability. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern logistics and distribution in China, customers, primarily in the automotive, home appliance, shipbuilding, and container industries, are demanding increasingly personalized services for steel plate sales. They require diverse specifications, small batches, high dimensional accuracy, and short delivery cycles. Therefore, shearing and efficient nesting of steel plates has become the primary sales model for steel mills and large distributors, leading to a growing demand for cold-rolled coil leveling and shearing production lines. Flying shears are one of the key pieces of equipment on plate cross-cutting production lines.
[0003] When a flying shear machine is shearing steel plates, the upper and lower blades generate huge lateral forces. This huge lateral force will push the gap between the upper and lower blades to increase, resulting in large shearing burrs on the cut edge. Shearing thin plates may even result in failure to cut them, which seriously affects the surface quality of the cut surface.
[0004] To ensure that the horizontal position between the upper and lower tool holders remains unchanged during relative movement, existing technology incorporates a bearing rolling mechanism on the upper and lower tool holders. In production practice, it has been observed that shearing medium-thick plates proceeds relatively smoothly, but when shearing thin plates, large burrs or incomplete shearing easily occur. Analysis reveals that the main reason is insufficient rigidity of the rolling guide and bearings. The enormous lateral force generated by the blade at the moment of shearing causes minute elastic deformation in the rolling guide and bearings. Since the blade gap is already very small when shearing thin plates (only a few micrometers), this elastic deformation has a significant impact.
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the issue of increased blade gap during shearing and prevent the formation of shear burrs on the cut surface of the sheet material, as well as the inability to cut thin sheets, this invention provides a double-crank flying shear for sheet and strip with improved blade gap stability.
[0007] The technical solution provided by this invention is as follows:
[0008] A strip double-crank flying shear with improved blade gap stability includes an upper blade holder assembly, which includes an upper blade holder 2 with an upper blade 5 installed. The entire upper blade holder assembly is rotated and driven by a pair of upper crankshafts 4 disposed in the upper blade holder assembly to perform up-and-down shearing motion. A lower blade holder assembly includes a lower blade holder 8 with a lower blade 10 installed. The entire lower blade holder assembly is rotated and driven by a pair of lower crankshafts 7 disposed in the lower blade holder assembly to perform up-and-down shearing motion.
[0009] The upper tool post assembly also includes a locking component 1 and a tool gap adjustment component 3;
[0010] The locking assembly 1 is installed on the upper part of the upper tool holder 2 and is used to press and fix the upper blade 5 onto the upper tool holder 2 after the blade gap of the upper blade 5 is adjusted.
[0011] The tool gap adjustment assembly 3 is installed in the middle of the upper tool holder 2 and includes an adjustment screw 301, an adjustment seat 302, a scale pointer 303, an inclined guide rail 304, a pressure plate 305, and an upper tool holder 306.
[0012] The tool gap adjustment assembly 3 is installed at the lower end of the upper tool holder 2 via the adjustment seat 302. The inclined guide rail 304 cooperates with the inclined surface of the upper tool holder 306, and the two are pressed together by the pressure plate 305. The upper blade 5 is mounted on the upper tool holder 306, and the upper tool holder 306 is provided with a scale pointer 303. During adjustment, the inclined guide rail 304 is driven to move by rotating the adjustment screw 301, thereby pushing the upper tool holder 306 to move back and forth, thereby adjusting the gap between the upper blade 5 and the lower blade 10.
[0013] It also includes a synchronous guide rail 12, with the upper tool post assembly mounted on the upper part of the synchronous guide rail 12, and the lower part of the synchronous guide rail 12 connected to the lower tool post 8 via a ball linear guide rail 11; the upper tool post assembly and the lower tool post assembly always maintain synchronous motion in the vertical direction when the upper crankshaft 4 and the lower crankshaft 7 rotate.
[0014] The preferred technical solution provided by this invention is as follows:
[0015] It also includes an additional guide rail pair 6, which includes an upper guide rail 602 mounted on an upper guide rail seat 603 at the lower part of the upper tool holder 2 and a lower guide rail 601 mounted on the upper part of the lower tool holder 8.
[0016] Furthermore,
[0017] The upper guide rail seat 603 is fixed in the groove of the upper tool holder 2 by a countersunk hexagonal screw, the upper guide rail 602 is fixed to the side of the upper guide rail seat 603 by a countersunk hexagonal screw, and the lower guide rail 601 is fixed to the side of the groove of the lower tool holder 8 by a countersunk hexagonal screw.
[0018] Furthermore,
[0019] The contact surface of the upper guide rail 602 has a grinding allowance. During assembly, the contact side of the upper guide rail 602 is ground to ensure that when the upper guide rail and the lower guide rail coincide, the sliding surface has a contact gap of 0.01mm.
[0020] The upper guide rail 602 is made of cold work die steel Cr12MoV, which has very good impact toughness and high wear resistance, and the quenching hardness requirement is HRC58~63.
[0021] The lower guide rail 601 is made of wear-resistant white cast iron, grade KmTBCr20Mo, which has good impact toughness and high wear resistance, with a quenching hardness of HRC55-58. This effectively avoids the problems of poor wear resistance, short service life, and even breakage under high-frequency impact loads.
[0022] Furthermore,
[0023] The lower guide rail 601 has a cross-shaped lubrication reservoir 6011 and an oil hole 6012 on its contact surface, and the upper guide rail 602 also has a cross-shaped lubrication reservoir 6021 and an oil hole 6022 on its contact surface. An oil injection hole 81 is provided at the corresponding position of the lower tool holder 8. This effectively avoids the problem of friction, adhesion, and seizing.
[0024] Furthermore,
[0025] Both the lower guide rail 601 and the upper guide rail 602 are provided with a 15° entry guide slope.
[0026] The preferred technical solution provided by this invention is as follows:
[0027] The locking assembly 1 includes a cylindrical roller bearing 101, a connecting plate 102, a push rod 103, an eccentric shaft 104, a pull rod 105, and a locking handle 106;
[0028] The locking assembly 1 is installed on the upper end of the upper tool holder 2. By rotating the locking handle 106, the eccentric shaft 104 is driven to rotate, thereby pushing the top rod 103 to move up and down with the connecting plate 102 and the pull rod 105, thus completing the locking of the tool gap adjustment assembly 3.
[0029] Preferred,
[0030] The inclined guide rail 304 has an oil groove 3041 on its side, and the upper tool holder 306 has an oil hole 3061 on its inclined surface.
[0031] Preferred,
[0032] The upper end of the synchronous guide rail frame 12 is fixedly connected to the upper tool holder 2 by key 9.
[0033] Beneficial effects:
[0034] This invention solves the problem of increased blade gap during shearing, preventing burrs on the cut surface of the sheet metal and ensuring that thin sheets cannot be cut. The results are excellent; under such high-frequency impact loads, the shearing process is very stable and reliable after the blade gap is adjusted. Its performance far exceeds our design expectations, significantly improving the shearing accuracy and finished product quality of the flying shear. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

Figure 2 This is a side view of the structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, combined with... Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3The present invention provides a strip double-crank flying shear for improving blade gap stability, comprising an upper blade holder assembly, which includes an upper blade holder 2 on which an upper blade 5 is mounted, and the entire upper blade holder assembly is rotated and driven by a pair of upper crankshafts 4 disposed on the upper blade holder assembly to perform up-and-down shearing motion; and a lower blade holder assembly, which includes a lower blade holder 8 on which a lower blade 10 is mounted, and the entire lower blade holder assembly is rotated and driven by a pair of lower crankshafts 7 disposed on the lower blade holder assembly to perform up-and-down shearing motion;
[0069] The upper tool post assembly also includes a locking component 1 and a tool gap adjustment component 3;
[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly 1 is installed on the upper part of the upper tool holder 2, and is used to press and fix the upper blade 5 onto the upper tool holder 2 after the blade gap adjustment is completed;
[0071] Specifically, the locking assembly 1 includes a cylindrical roller bearing 101, a connecting plate 102, a push rod 103, an eccentric shaft 104, a pull rod 105, and a locking handle 106;
[0072] The locking assembly 1 is installed on the upper end of the upper tool holder 2. By rotating the locking handle 106, the eccentric shaft 104 is driven ( Figure 5 (As shown in the figure) Rotation drives the top rod 103 to move up and down along with the connecting plate 102 and the pull rod 105, thereby locking the tool gap adjustment assembly 3.
[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, the tool gap adjustment assembly 3 is mounted on the upper tool holder 2 ( Figure 6 The middle part (shown in the figure) includes an adjusting screw 301, an adjusting seat 302, a scale pointer 303, an inclined guide rail 304, a pressure plate 305, and an upper tool holder 306.
[0074] The tool gap adjustment assembly 3 is installed at the lower end of the upper tool holder 2 via the adjustment seat 302. The inclined guide rail 304 cooperates with the inclined surface of the upper tool holder 306, and the two are pressed together by the pressure plate 305. The upper blade 5 is mounted on the upper tool holder 306, and the upper tool holder 306 is provided with a scale pointer 303. During adjustment, the inclined guide rail 304 is driven to move by rotating the adjustment screw 301, thereby pushing the upper tool holder 306 to move back and forth, thereby adjusting the gap between the upper blade 5 and the lower blade 10.
[0075] The inclined guide rail 304 is provided with an oil groove 3041 on its side. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the upper tool holder 306 has an oil hole 3061 on its inclined surface. Figure 9 (as shown in the image).
[0076] It also includes the synchronous guide rail frame 12 ( Figure 15 As shown in the diagram, the upper tool post assembly is mounted on the upper part of the synchronous guide rail frame 12. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the upper end of the synchronous guide rail frame 12 in this embodiment is fixedly connected to the upper tool holder 2 by key 9.
[0077] The lower part of the synchronous guide rail 12 is connected to the lower tool post 8 through the ball linear guide rail 11; when the upper tool post assembly and the lower tool post assembly rotate on the upper crankshaft 4 and the lower crankshaft 7, they always maintain synchronous motion in the vertical direction.
[0078] Combination Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the technical solution of the present invention also includes an additional guide rail pair 6, which includes an upper guide rail 602 mounted on an upper guide rail seat 603 at the lower part of the upper tool holder 2 and a lower guide rail 601 mounted on the upper part of the lower tool holder 8.
[0079] The upper guide rail seat 603 is fixed in the groove of the upper tool holder 2 by a countersunk hexagonal screw, the upper guide rail 602 is fixed to the side of the upper guide rail seat 603 by a countersunk hexagonal screw, and the lower guide rail 601 is fixed to the side of the groove of the lower tool holder 8 by a countersunk hexagonal screw.
[0080] The contact surface of the upper guide rail 602 has a grinding allowance. During assembly, the contact side of the upper guide rail 602 is ground to ensure that when the upper guide rail and the lower guide rail coincide, the sliding surface has a contact gap of 0.01mm.
[0081] The upper guide rail 602 is made of cold work die steel Cr12MoV, which has very good impact toughness and high wear resistance, and the quenching hardness requirement is HRC58~63.
[0082] The lower guide rail 601 is made of wear-resistant white cast iron, grade KmTBCr20Mo, which has good impact toughness and high wear resistance, with a quenching hardness of HRC55-58. This effectively avoids the problems of poor wear resistance, short service life, and even breakage under high-frequency impact loads.
[0083] The lower guide rail 601 has a cross-shaped lubrication reservoir 6011 and an oil hole 6012 on its contact surface, and the upper guide rail 602 also has a cross-shaped lubrication reservoir 6021 and an oil hole 6022 on its contact surface. The lower tool holder 8 has an oil injection hole 81 at a corresponding position. Figure 14 (As shown in the image). This effectively avoids the problem of friction, adhesion, and seizing.
[0084] As a further preferred technical solution, both the lower guide rail 601 and the upper guide rail 602 are provided with a 15° entry guide slope.
[0085] The specific working process of this invention is as follows:
[0086] Before production, loosen the locking handle 106, and adjust the lead screw 301 to drive the inclined guide rail 304 to move according to the thickness of the sheet metal to be cut. Adjust the appropriate blade gap between the upper and lower blades (see the scale pointer 303), and then pull down the locking handle 106 to press the upper blade holder 306 through the locking assembly 1.
[0087] During the shearing motion, the ball linear guide 11 always ensures that the upper and lower tool holder assemblies move synchronously in the vertical direction.
[0088] When the movement reaches the shearing stage (the sides of the upper blade 5 and the lower blade 10 overlap), the sides of the upper guide rail 602 and the lower guide rail 601 begin to overlap, ensuring that the lateral component of the shearing force is distributed to the contact friction surface of the upper and lower guide rails, so that the shearing gap of the shearing blade remains basically stable and unchanged, avoiding the generation of shearing burrs on the cut surface of the sheared sheet and the phenomenon that thin plates cannot be sheared.
[0089] Oil reservoirs are provided on the sides of both the upper and lower guide rails to ensure sufficient lubrication of the friction surfaces. During the non-shearing idle stroke phase, the upper and lower guide rails do not contact each other, and this time is used to dissipate heat from the guide rail surfaces.
[0090] Additional guide rail pair 6 requires a specific lubricating grease. Due to the high-speed impact extreme pressure load here, the requirements are particularly stringent, and the temperature is extremely high, necessitating the selection of a grease with specific properties. Here, extreme pressure composite aluminum-based grease (grade SH / T0534-1992), viscosity grade 0#~2#, is selected, suitable for high-load applications in the range of -20℃~160℃. To ensure adequate lubrication of the friction surfaces, it is recommended to apply grease twice per shift.
[0091] The described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
