Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the structure of the cold header die of the first aspect of the present application to prevent misfire includes a female die assembly, a male die 1 and an identification mechanism. The female die assembly includes a first female die 3, a second female die 4 and a third female die 5. The second female die 4 is slidingly arranged in the inner cavity of the first female die 3, and the third female die 5 is fixedly arranged in the inner cavity of the first female die 3. A spring 8 is arranged between the second female die 4 and the third female die 5, and the two ends of the spring 8 abut against the second female die 4 and the third female die 5, respectively.
[0034] The end of the second female die 4 away from the third female die 5 is provided with a forming cavity 10. The third female die 5 is provided with a guide hole 15 and an accommodating cavity 16. The guide hole 15 is arranged along the axial direction of the third female die 5, and the guide hole 15 penetrates through the third female die 5 towards the end of the second female die 4. The guide hole 15 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 16.
[0035] The identification mechanism includes a sensor 6 and a transmission rod 7. The sensor 6 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 16, and the transmission rod 7 is slidingly arranged in the guide hole 15.
[0036] The male die 1 is arranged towards the forming cavity 10. The male die 1 is installed on the output end of a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is used to drive the male die 1 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the third female die 5.
[0037] In the embodiment, it is to be noted that, for a hollow cylindrical die with a thickness of about 10 mm, the first die 3 is made of die steel, the inner and outer surfaces of which are subjected to nitriding treatment, and has high hardness and high wear resistance; the second die 4 is cylindrical, and the second die 4 is made of wear-resistant high-hardness die steel, and the forming cavity 10 is subjected to polishing and titanium plating treatment, and has a smooth and hard surface, the shape and size of the forming cavity 10 are the same as the shape and size of the product part, but a fitting gap of about 0.2 mm is reserved to facilitate the product part to enter and exit the die cavity 10; the transmission rod 7 is a cylindrical solid rod, the transmission rod 7 is made of ordinary steel, and the transmission rod 7 can slide along the guide hole 15, and the transmission rod 7 is used to transmit the movement of the second die 4 to the sensor 6;
[0038] The sensor 6 is connected with the control circuit of the cold header, the sensor 6 is a contact position sensor, the sensor 6 outputs a high-level signal when being pressed, and outputs a low-level signal when not being pressed;
[0039] During processing, when the forming cavity 10 has the workpiece 2 to be formed, the second die 4 pushes the transmission rod 7 to press the sensor 6 when the punch 1 reaches the preset forming position to press the workpiece 2 in the forming cavity 10 to form, the sensor 6 outputs a high-level signal, indicating that there is no air hitting phenomenon; when the forming cavity 10 has no workpiece 2 to be formed, the second die 4 cannot push the transmission rod 7 to press the sensor 6 when the punch 1 reaches the preset forming position, the sensor 6 outputs a low-level signal, indicating that there is an air hitting phenomenon.
[0040] The technical effect achieved by the embodiment is that, by setting the recognition mechanism, the air hitting phenomenon can be found in time during processing, and the signal is transmitted to the cold header to stop and alarm, which can remind the on-site personnel in time by cooperating with the alarm, so as to take out the abnormal product, avoid the abnormal product mixed into the qualified product, greatly simplify the air hitting recognition work of the cold header during operation, automatically monitor the production process, avoid the loss caused by the air hitting of the cold header, and avoid the abnormal product mixed into the qualified product, and the effect is good after practical application.
[0041] Embodiment 2
[0042] As shown in Figures 1 to 7 Another cold header die structure for preventing air hitting provided by the embodiment is provided, which includes all the contents of the embodiment 1, and only the different parts will be described below.
[0043] In the embodiment, the forming cavity 10 is arranged along the axial direction of the second die 4, and the first ejection hole 11 is arranged along the axis of the second die 4 and penetrates the second die 4;
[0044] The third die 5 is provided with a second ejection hole 14 along its axis, the second ejection hole 14 penetrates the third die 5, and the second ejection hole 14 is coaxially arranged with the first ejection hole 11.
[0045] In the embodiment, it is to be noted that the ejection rod 9 is arranged at the output end of the driving assembly, the driving assembly adopts a telescopic pneumatic cylinder or a telescopic hydraulic cylinder, and the driving assembly is used to drive the ejection rod 9 to reciprocate along its axial direction; the ejection rod 9 is coaxially arranged with the first ejection hole 11, and the ejection rod 9 is matched with the first ejection hole 11 and the second ejection hole 14; specifically, the first ejection hole 11 and the second ejection hole 14 are both circular holes, and the ejection rod 9 is cylindrical.
[0046] Further, the working principle of the whole mold structure is as follows:
[0047] When the workpiece 2 to be processed has not yet entered the forming cavity 10 of the second die 4, the second die 4 is located at the rightmost position under the action of the spring, and the right end face of the second die 4 is flush with the right end face of the first die 3;
[0048] When the workpiece 2 to be processed is pushed by the punch 1 and moves from right to left and enters the second die 4, the spring 8 has not been compressed at this moment, and the position of the second die 4 has not been moved;
[0049] When the workpiece 2 to be processed completely enters the forming cavity 10 of the second die 4 and continues to be pushed by the punch 1 and moves from right to left, the second die 4 also starts to move from right to left at this moment, the spring 8 is compressed, and the transmission rod 7 also moves from right to left at the same time;
[0050] When the second die 4 and the third die 5 contact, the third die 5 pushes against the second die 4, so that the second die 4 can no longer continue to move to the left side, at this moment, the punch 1 continues to move from right to left, and the force applied by the punch 1 is all applied to the workpiece 2, so that the metal of the workpiece 2 is deformed, thereby obtaining the required product shape and size. At this moment, the transmission rod 7 has pushed the probe of the sensor 6, and the sensor 6 sends a high-level signal to the control circuit of the cold header. The control circuit is always monitoring the rotation of the main shaft of the equipment. In a specific main shaft rotation angle (the main shaft is driven to rotate by the motor, the main shaft controls the movement of the punch 1 by using a crank linkage mechanism in cooperation with a guide seat and a sliding block, specifically, the punch 1 is installed on the sliding block, the sliding block is slidably arranged on the guide seat, the output end of the crank linkage mechanism is connected with the sliding block, and the input end of the crank linkage mechanism is connected with the main shaft, the crank linkage mechanism converts the rotary motion of the main shaft into linear motion and transmits it to the punch 1, so as to make the punch 1 do linear reciprocating motion, which is prior art), when the control circuit receives the high-level signal sent by the sensor 6, it is determined that the equipment is running normally, the forming process of the product workpiece is stable and normal, and the equipment is allowed to continue to run;
[0051] When the workpiece 2 to be processed falls off the clamping device accidentally, the punch 1 moves from right to left, and there is no product workpiece in the forming cavity 10 of the second female die 4, so the punch 1 can only push the empty second female die 4 to move from right to left. When the main shaft angle of the device rotates to the fixed angle described above, since there is no workpiece 2 in the second female die 4, although the punch 1 moves to the position of the normal state, the second female die 4 does not move to the normal position from right to left, so the transmission rod 7 cannot move far enough to the left to trigger the sensor 6, and thus the sensor 6 still outputs a low-level signal at this moment. After the control circuit senses this situation, it can determine that the workpiece 2 has not entered the second female die 4, and an accident of accidental falling of the product workpiece has occurred, so the control circuit sends a stop signal to make the cold header stop production immediately, and an alarm is given to avoid the cold header from being operated empty, so as to avoid damage to the device and the die. After receiving the alarm signal, the operator can find the half-finished product workpiece that has just fallen off from the product output conveyor belt, so as to avoid mixing the half-finished product workpiece that has not completed the whole process into the normal workpiece;
[0052] When the product part completes the cold heading plastic deformation process, the punch 1 moves from left to right, and at this moment the second female die 4 also moves from left to right under the pushing action of the spring 8 until the right end faces of the second female die 4 and the first female die 3 are flush. Then the ejector rod 9 starts to act and moves from left to right to push the product workpiece out of the second female die 4 and drop it onto the finished product output conveyor belt.
[0053] The technical effect achieved by the embodiment is that the workpiece 2 processed is automatically ejected during processing by the setting of the ejector rod 9, so as to realize automatic discharge and automatic production, and the processing efficiency is higher.

[0055] As shown in Figures 1 to 7 Another cold header die structure for preventing empty operation provided by the embodiment is shown in the figure, which includes all the contents of the embodiment 1, and only the different parts will be described below.
[0056] In the embodiment, the third female die 5 includes a base body 12 and a guide segment 13, the guide segment 13 is arranged at one end of the base body 12, the guide segment 13 is coaxially arranged with the base body 12, and the spring 8 is sleeved on the guide segment 13. The spring 8 is a round wire section spring with moderate rigidity, and in the free state, the spring 8 pushes the second female die 4 to the right to make the right end face of the second female die 4 flush with the right end face of the first female die 3.
[0057] In the embodiment, it should be noted that the base body 12 and the guide segment 13 are both cylindrical, and the base body 12 and the guide segment 13 are an integral structure.
