In the traditional production process, workers need to manually knock the insert into the mold, which is time-consuming and laborious. In order to save manpower and improve production efficiency, automated production becomes necessary. The automated production line needs to be combined with a die-casting machine to die-cast the insert and the mold together to ensure the precise fit and strength of the parts.

[0003] In the process of realizing automated production, a machine is designed to knock the inserts into the mold, and the force support points during the actual knocking process need to be taken into consideration to ensure that the inserts can be accurately knocked into the mold and fixed in place. Based on automation, manual operations can be reduced, production efficiency can be improved, and consistency of product quality can be ensured.

[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods and drawings.

[0023] The terms used in the present invention are those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functions of the present invention, but these terms may vary according to the intention of a person of ordinary skill in the art, precedents, or new technologies in the art. In addition, specific terms may be selected by the applicant, and in this case, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of the present invention. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but rather as a general description based on the meaning of the terms and the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figure 1The present embodiment provides a device for producing headless side covers with iron bearing holes, including a processing component 1, including a clamping member 11 for grabbing a circular insert, a striking member 12 for striking the circular insert onto a die-casting machine mold, and a material picking member 13 for taking out the finished product; and, the processing component 1 is installed on a six-axis robot through a connecting component 2, and the connecting component 2 includes a mounting plate 21 that integrates the clamping member 11, the striking member 12 and the material picking member 13. The six-axis robot can rotate and control the direction of the processing component 1 according to the production process of the headless side cover, so that the clamping member 11, the striking member 12 and the material picking member 13 complete the corresponding work.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, X is a circular insert and J is a six-axis robot. The six-axis robot is an industrial automation equipment that can provide high flexibility and precise motion control.

[0026] The clamping member 11 , the knocking member 12 and the material taking member 13 are all fixed on the same mounting plate 21 .

[0027] The six-axis robot can adjust and control the positions of the clamping part 11, the knocking part 12 and the material taking part 13. When it is necessary to clamp the circular insert, knock the insert onto the corresponding mold, and take out the finished cover during the production process of the finished cover, the control function of the six-axis robot itself can be used to adjust the corresponding components to the corresponding positions to perform related operations. It is recommended to place some circular inserts to be knocked near the die-casting equipment for easy picking.

[0028] As an optional embodiment, a connecting rod 211 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 21 , the connecting rod 211 is connected to the six-axis robot, and a guide rail 212 is provided on the other side of the mounting plate 21 .

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the setting of the guide rail 212 allows the knocking member 12 to move.

[0030] As an optional embodiment, the knocking member 12 includes a movable plate 121 arranged outside the mounting plate 21, the movable plate 121 is arranged in an L shape, a slider 122 is arranged on the outer wall of the movable plate 121, and the slider 122 is movably matched with the guide rail 212.

[0031] The slider 122 movably cooperates with the guide rail 212 to control the moving direction of the moving plate 121 .

[0032] As an optional embodiment, a connecting hook 1211 is provided on the movable plate 121 , a mounting hook 213 is provided on the mounting plate 21 , and a tension spring 123 is provided between the connecting hook 1211 and the mounting hook 213 .

[0033] By setting a tension spring 123, one end is connected to the movable plate 121 through a connecting hook 1211, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate 21 through a mounting hook 213. When the movable plate 121 moves and completes the knocking work on the circular insert, the movable plate 121, that is, the knocking piece 12 can be easily reset through the set tension spring 123.

[0034] As an optional embodiment, a thrust cylinder 1212 is provided on the movable plate 121 , a pressure hammer 124 is provided at the output end of the thrust cylinder 1212 , and an extension rod 1213 is provided on the movable plate 121 ; and the extension rod 1213 and the pressure hammer 124 are kept in a colinear direction.

[0035] The thrust cylinder 1212 is activated to move the hammer 124 so that the circular insert can be knocked onto the mold.

[0036] As an optional embodiment, the clamping member 11 includes a finger cylinder 111 disposed on the mounting plate 21 , and the finger cylinder 111 includes two clamping fingers for clamping the circular insert; and the center lines of the two clamping fingers are aligned with the center line of the pressure hammer 124 .

[0037] The center lines of the two clamping fingers are aligned with the center line of the pressure hammer 124, so that after the finger cylinder 11 clamps the upper circular insert, the pressure hammer 124 moves and can hammer onto the circular insert and then onto the mold.

[0038] As an optional embodiment, a fixing plate 214 is also vertically arranged on the mounting plate 21 .

[0039] The fixing plate 214 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 21 by bolts.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, the material picking member 13 includes a three-claw cylinder 131 arranged on the fixing plate 214 .

[0041] After the finished cover is generated and processed, it is placed on the die-casting machine. By starting the three-claw cylinder 131, the three claws expand outward to support the inner ring on the finished cover, and then clamp the finished cover and place it uniformly in the collection area.

[0042] Since there is a movable mold on one side and a fixed mold on the other side of the die-casting machine, the circular insert needs to be placed on the movable mold, and multiple operations such as knocking and material removal need to be performed between the movable mold and the fixed mold. In particular, the six-axis robot needs to rotate the processing component 1 to different positions, and the distance between the movable mold and the fixed mold is fixed. In order to ensure the degree of freedom of the processing component 1, the processing component 1 is set smaller than the distance between the movable mold and the fixed mold. In order to better knock the circular insert onto the mold and prevent the robot arm from moving during knocking, a fulcrum needs to be provided. Therefore, combined with the environment of the die-casting machine, a tension spring 123 is set, the thrust cylinder 1212 is started, and the pressure hammer 124 knocks the circular insert. At the same time, under the action of the tension spring 123, the overall structure becomes longer, and the thrust extension rod 1213 is simultaneously against the mold on the other side as a fulcrum, and the pressure hammer 124 knocks the circular insert again. Repeating the knocking twice can prevent the downward pressure from being not in place once, and with the help of the fulcrum, the stability during operation is guaranteed.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 This embodiment provides a processing method, including starting the finger cylinder 111 to clamp the circular insert, and by starting the six-axis robot, the circular insert is moved to the corresponding position of the die-casting mold, and then the thrust cylinder 1212 is started to make the pressure hammer 124 hit the circular insert, and the extension rod 1213 is pressed against the other side of the mold as a fulcrum.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, after the pressure hammer 124 knocks the circular insert onto the mold, the die-casting machine performs die-casting, and at the same time, the six-axis robot drives the finger cylinder 111 to clamp the next circular insert. After the die-casting is completed, the three-claw cylinder 131 is started to take out the finished cover.

[0045] After die casting is complete, the finished caps can be automatically or manually inspected for quality to ensure there are no defects.

[0046] Through the finger cylinder 111 clamping the circular insert, the six-axis robot precise positioning, the coordinated work of the thrust cylinder 1212 and the pressure hammer 124, and the three-claw cylinder 131 removing the finished product, the entire process can achieve high-efficiency and high-precision production while reducing human intervention, thereby improving safety and reliability.

[0047] Finally, it should be pointed out that the methods and devices described in detail above are only embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways without departing from the scope of the present invention.
