[0002] Stamping is a forming process that uses a press and a die to apply external force to plates, strips, pipes and profiles to cause them to undergo plastic deformation or separation, thereby obtaining stamped parts of the desired shape and size. Stamping and forging are both plastic processing, collectively known as forging. The blanks for stamping are mainly hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel plates and strips.

[0039] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 A stamping device for automobile hinge processing that facilitates material removal includes a base 1, a platform 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a slider 3 is slidably connected to the platform 2, a punch head 6 is fixedly connected to the slider 3, and an upper mold 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the punch head 6, a motor 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the platform 2, the output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to a screw 5 that is rotatably connected to the platform 2, and the screw 5 is threadedly connected to the slider 3, a die table 8 located below the upper mold 7 is fixedly connected to the platform 2, and a lower mold 10 is set in a groove 9 at the top of the die table 8, and also includes:

[0040] The pressure acquisition module 11 is used to monitor the dynamic pressure changes during the stamping process in real time and generate the pressure fluctuation coefficient through the control module 13;

[0041] The current acquisition module 12 is used to obtain the load current of the motor 4 in real time and generate the current fluctuation coefficient through the control module 13;

[0042] It should be noted that the pressure acquisition module 11 can be a pressure sensor or other device capable of monitoring dynamic pressure changes during the stamping process in real time, the current acquisition module 12 can be a current sensor or other device capable of obtaining the load current of the motor 4 in real time, and the control module 13 is an embedded controller (such as a PLC or industrial PC) (such as the STM32 series) with an integrated data fusion algorithm. Therefore, the pressure acquisition module 11, the current acquisition module 12, and the control module 13 are not specifically limited here and can be selected according to actual needs;

[0043] During use, the hinge raw material to be punched is placed on the lower mold 10 in the groove 9, and then the screw 5 is driven to rotate by the output shaft of the motor 4, and the slider 3, the punch head 6 and the upper mold 7 are driven downward by the screw 5 to punch the raw material on the lower mold 10. During this period, the control module 13 conducts a comprehensive analysis of the generated pressure fluctuation coefficient and the current fluctuation coefficient, generates an evaluation coefficient, and determines whether the current stamping state of the hinge of the equipment meets the normal stamping. The evaluation coefficient is compared with the pre-set evaluation coefficient reference threshold, and the stamping state of the hinge is controlled according to the comparison result.

[0044] The pressure acquisition module 11 is installed at the position where the punch head 6 and the upper die 7 are connected, the current acquisition module 12 is integrated and installed on the motor 4 , and the control module 13 is installed on the base 1 .

[0045] Furthermore, a positioning frame 14 is provided in the groove 9 for supporting the lower mold 10;

[0046] During use, after stamping is completed, it is only necessary to push the lower mold 10 upward along the groove 9 from the bottom of the positioning frame 14, and the hinge on the lower mold 10 can be exposed above the groove 9. At this time, the stamped hinge can be easily removed, which is convenient for material removal.

[0047] Furthermore, a handle 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower mold 10, and a horizontal plate 15 located below the positioning frame 14 is fixedly connected to the groove 9. The handle 16 passes through the horizontal plate 15. A limiting ring 17 located below the horizontal plate 15 is fixedly sleeved on the handle 16. A spring 18 is sleeved on the handle 16. The two ends of the spring 18 are fixedly connected to the handle 16 and the horizontal plate 15 respectively.

[0048] When in use, the lower mold 10 is pushed upward by the handle 16. Due to the limitation of the limit ring 17, the highest position of the lower mold 10 can be limited to avoid using excessive force to completely push the lower mold 10 out of the groove 9, thereby making the material removal process more convenient.

[0049] Furthermore, a mounting base 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the die table 8. A gear 20 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 19. A rack 1 21 and a rack 2 22 are meshed and connected to the gear 20, which are perpendicular to each other. The rack 22 is slidably connected to the mounting base 19. A push block 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the rack 22 near the lower die 10. The rack 1 21 is located inside the die table 8 and its end is fixed to the handle 16.

[0050] During use, when the lower mold 10 is in the initial position, the push block 23 is located on one side of the lower mold 10, and when the lower mold 10 is pushed upward by the handle 16, the handle 16 will synchronously drive the rack 1 21 to move, and then the rack 1 21 engages the gear 20 to drive the rack 2 22 and the push block 23 to move to the right. When the lower mold 10 moves to the highest position, the push block 23 is just above the lower mold 10, and the hinge on the lower mold 10 can be directly pushed to the other side by the push block 23, thereby completing the material removal.

[0051] The output and input ends of the pressure acquisition module 11 and the output and input ends of the current acquisition module 12 are electrically connected to the input and output ends of the control module 13 respectively, and the output end of the control module 13 is electrically connected to the input end of the motor 4.

[0052] In another embodiment, through the cooperation of the pressure acquisition module 11, the current acquisition module 12 and the control module 13, the control module 13 comprehensively analyzes the generated pressure fluctuation coefficient and the current fluctuation coefficient to generate an evaluation coefficient, determines whether the current stamping state of the hinge by the device meets the normal stamping condition, compares the evaluation coefficient with a preset evaluation coefficient reference threshold, and controls the stamping state of the hinge according to the comparison result. The specific execution steps are as follows:

[0053] Real-time detection: the current acquisition module 12 acquires the load current of the motor 4; the pressure acquisition module 11 acquires the dynamic pressure changes during the stamping process;

[0054] Coefficient calculation: The control module 13 calculates the pressure fluctuation coefficient:

[0055] Among them, the pressure fluctuation coefficient is used to quantify the dynamic change of material deformation resistance during the stamping process. The larger the value, the more severe the resistance fluctuations encountered by the material during the stamping process, which may be caused by uneven material hardness, internal defects, or unstable contact between the stamping die and the material; if If the value increases significantly, it indicates abnormal interference (such as uneven material deformation or mold wear). The value requires to reduce the stamping speed to reduce the impact of the die and extend the life of the equipment;

[0058] S2, the pressure fluctuation coefficient is calculated, and the expression for calculation is:

[0059]

[0060] In the formula, is the average pressure within T time, is the number of pressure sampling times within T time.

[0061] The current fluctuation coefficient is calculated:

[0062] Wherein, the current fluctuation coefficient is used to represent the dynamic change of the load of the motor 4 driving the stamping head 6, The greater the current fluctuation coefficient is, the more intense the load fluctuation of the motor 4 is, which may be caused by sudden change of material deformation resistance, increase of friction of mechanical transmission parts, or deviation of the movement track of the stamping head 6. The current fluctuation is directly related to the energy consumption efficiency of the motor 4. High value may mean energy waste or risk of equipment overload, and high value needs to reduce the stamping speed to balance the load and avoid overheating of the motor 4 or fatigue damage of the mechanical structure;

[0063] The generation logic of the current fluctuation coefficient is:

[0064] S1, the actual load current of the motor 4 within T time when stamping the hinge is obtained by the current acquisition module 12, and the actual load current at the first time within T time is marked as , , , is a positive integer;

[0065] S2, the current fluctuation coefficient is calculated, and the expression for calculation is:

[0066]

[0067] In the formula, is the average current within T time, is the number of sampling times within T time.

[0068] The evaluation coefficient is calculated:
