These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 to Figure 3 A multi-station progressive hanging ring punching die shown in the figure comprises a base 13 arranged on the work surface of a punch press, a bottom plate 14 is fixed on the base 13, and a lifting plate 15 is provided above the bottom plate 14 and is fixedly connected to the punch press slider for lifting movement; a lower die 1 is installed on the bottom plate 14, and an upper die 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the lifting plate 15, and when the upper die 2 is lifted and lowered, it cooperates with the lower die 1 to complete the stamping operation of the workpiece, and a steel strip 3 as the raw material of the hanging ring is located between the upper die 2 and the lower die 1 and moves from the left end of the base 13 to the right end of the base 13.

[0027] A guide seat 16 is fixed on the bottom plate 14 at the left end of the base 13, and a guide groove with a width matching that of the steel strip 3 is opened on the guide seat 16. The steel strip 3 enters between the upper die 2 and the lower die 1 through the guide groove for stamping processing; an upper blanking slope 1-1 is opened on the right side of the lower die 1 at the right end of the base 13, and a lower blanking slope 14-1 is opened on the right side of the bottom plate 14. The stamped hanging ring slides from the upper blanking slope 1-1 to the lower blanking slope 14-1 by its own weight and then falls into the material box.

[0028] Four guide rods 18 arranged in a matrix are provided between the bottom plate 14 and the lifting plate 15 . The lower ends of the guide rods 18 are fixedly connected to guide sleeves fixed on the bottom plate 14 , and the upper ends of the guide rods 18 are slidably matched with guide holes provided on the lifting plate 15 .

[0029] Located on the moving route of the steel strip 3, between the upper die 2 and the lower die 1, there are sequentially arranged: a punching unit 4, a marking unit 5, a trimming unit 6, a folding unit 7 and a cutting unit 8.

[0030] Combination Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the punching unit 4 has two punches 4-1 set at intervals, and the punches 4-1 punch out two through holes at a distance on the steel strip 3 to form connecting holes on both side ends of the ring; the marking unit 5 has two marking machines 5-1, and the marking machines 5-1 print digital marks on the steel strip 3 inside the aforementioned punching positions; the trimming unit 6 has a trimming die 6-1 for trimming both side edges of the steel strip 3 to form both side edges of the ring; the folding unit 7 has a folding die 7-1 pressed down on the steel strip 3, so that the both side edges of the trimmed steel strip 3 are folded upward to form the middle shape of the ring; the cutting unit 8 has a cutting die 8-1 for cutting the steel strip 3 to form the shapes of both end portions of the ring.

[0031] The punch 4 - 1 , the marking machine 5 - 1 , the trimming die 6 - 1 , the folding die 7 - 1 and the cutting die 8 - 1 are all fixed to the upper die 2 .

[0032] There are two trimming dies 6-1, which are respectively located on both sides of the steel strip 3 and used in pairs. The inner side surface shape of the trimming die 6-1 includes a middle vertical surface and semicircular arc surfaces located at both ends of the vertical surface and with the outer ends flared outward. The vertical surface and the semicircular arc surface are transitionally connected by a convex arc surface protruding inward.

[0033] The bottom of the folding die 7-1 has a semicircular protrusion 7-2, and a forming block 11 is fixed on the lower die 1 below the folding die 7-1. The forming block 11 is provided with a forming groove 11-1 consistent with the moving direction of the steel strip 3. The inner side surface shape of the forming groove 11-1 includes an inclined surface inclined inwardly in the middle, and arc surfaces at both ends of the inclined surface that are inwardly inclined and connected to the inclined surface and expand outward at the outer ends. The bottom surface of the forming groove 11-1 corresponding to the inclined surface has a concave arc surface 11-2 that matches the semicircular protrusion 7-2, and the upper edge of the concave arc surface 11-2 is connected to the bottom edge of the inclined surface, and triangular planes are connected to the two ends of the concave arc surface 11-2, and the two side edges of the triangular plane are connected to the bottom edge of the arc surface.

[0034] The cutting die 8-1 has semicircular cutters 8-2 on the left and right sides respectively. The semicircular cutter 8-2 on the left forms the right end shape of the hanging ring when cutting the steel strip 3, and the semicircular cutter 8-2 on the right forms the left end shape of the hanging ring when cutting the steel strip 3.

[0035] In order to make the folding effect of the folding unit 7 better, a pre-folding unit 9 for pre-folding the two side edges of the steel strip 3 after trimming upwards is also provided on the lower mold 1 between the trimming unit 6 and the folding unit 7. The pre-folding unit 9 has a pre-folding block 10 fixed on the lower mold 1. The upper end face of the pre-folding block 10 has a groove 10-1. The two side walls of the groove 10-1 are inclined inwardly, and the width of the groove 10-1 is wide in the middle and narrows inward at both ends.

[0036] Figure 3 The dotted box in the figure indicates the areas where the punching unit 4, the marking unit 5, the trimming unit 6, the pre-folding unit 9, the folding unit 7 and the cutting unit 8 are located.

[0037] A limiting column 12 is fixed on the upper die 2 located behind the punching unit 4. The limiting column 12 is respectively arranged in the areas corresponding to the marking unit 5, the trimming unit 6, the pre-folding unit 9, the folding unit 7 and the cutting unit 8. Each area has two limiting columns 12 corresponding to the two through holes punched by the punching unit 4. During stamping, the limiting column 12 is inserted into the punching hole, thereby controlling the displacement of the steel strip 3 during the stamping process.

[0038] In particular, a limiting sleeve corresponding to the limiting column 12 is movably provided on the lower mold 1 where the pre-folding unit 9 is located, a compression spring is provided at the lower end of the inner hole of the limiting sleeve, and the upper end surface of the limiting sleeve is supported on the bottom surface of the steel strip 3 before pre-folding.

[0039] On the moving route of the steel strip 3, the lower die 1 is provided with guide members 17 corresponding to the guide grooves of the guide seat 16 and clamped on both sides of the steel strip 3. There are two types of guide members 17. The guide members 17 corresponding to the punching unit 4 and the marking unit 5 are guide columns. The upper end of the guide column has an annular groove exposing the upper end surface of the lower die 1. During punching and marking, the gaps on both sides of the steel strip 3 are clamped between the inner side surface of the upper end of the annular groove and the lower die 1; the guide member 17 corresponding to the pre-folding unit 9 is a guide block. The inner side surface of the guide block has a clamping groove. During pre-folding, the gap of the steel strip 3 is clamped in the clamping groove.

[0040] During stamping, the steel strip 3 enters the stamping die through the guide groove of the guide seat 16, and is guided and moved by the guide piece 17. The upper die 2 is driven by the punching machine slider to move up and down, and the punch 4-1 of the punching unit 4 punches two through holes on the steel strip 3; the steel strip 3 continues to move to the right to the marking unit 5, and the marking machine 5-1 marks a number on the steel strip 3 on the inner side of the through hole; then the trimming die head 6-1 of the trimming unit 6 cuts off the excess parts on both sides of the steel strip 3 to form the two sides of the ring; the trimmed steel strip 3 continues to move to the right to the pre-folding unit 9, and the upper die 2 moves down to press the steel strip 3 into the upper edge of the groove 10-1 of the pre-folding block 10. When the steel strip 3 is pressed on the limit sleeve, the compression spring is compressed. Since the two side walls of the groove 10-1 are inclined inward, this causes the two side edges of the steel strip 3 to be slightly folded upward to form a pre-folded section. When the pre-folding is completed and the upper die 2 moves up, the compression spring drives the limit sleeve to rise and reset; The steel strip 3 moves to the folding unit 7, and the folding die 7-1 presses the steel strip 3 downward. The steel strip 3 is forcefully stuck in the forming groove 11-1 of the forming block 11, and the semicircular protrusion 7-2 of the folding die 7-1 cooperates with the concave arc surface 11-2 on the bottom surface of the forming groove 11-1, and with the help of the inclined surface of the inner wall of the forming groove 11-1, the pre-folded section of the pre-folded steel strip 3 is completely folded upward to form the middle part of the ring; the folded steel strip 3 enters the cutting unit 8, and under the action of the lifting and lowering movement of the upper die 2, the semicircular arc cutter 8-2 on the left side of the cutting die 8-1 forms the right end shape of the ring when cutting the steel strip 3, and the semicircular arc cutter 8-2 on the right side of the cutting die 8-1 forms the left end shape of the ring when cutting the steel strip 3. At this point, all the stamping processing of the ring is completed, and the formed ring slides from the upper drop material slope 1-1 to the lower drop material slope 14-1 by its own weight and then falls into the material box.

[0041] The punch 4-1 punches out two more through holes on the subsequent steel strip 3, which is the second hanging ring. Subsequent stamping processes are carried out in sequence to form the second, third and other hanging rings, thereby forming a multi-station continuous hanging ring stamping process.

[0042] The present invention integrates multiple stamping processes into one to form a multi-station progressive stamping die, which can complete the stamping processing of the suspension rings used for the integral suspension strings at one time, thereby reducing complicated multi-process stamping operations, alleviating the labor intensity of workers, and eliminating the transportation and storage of intermediate process products. It not only shortens the production cycle and greatly improves the production capacity, but also reduces the equipment and molds required for the production of the suspension rings, as well as the workshop area occupied by the equipment and mold storage.

[0043] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the present invention, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present invention through the above description. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
