Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0019] In order to solve the technical problem that when the head is moved into or out of the necking mechanism by manual handling, the working intensity of operators is relatively large, the present invention provides a head necking device, which can automatically move the head into or out of the necking mechanism and reduce the working intensity of operators.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 - 6 , Figures 1 - 6A necking device for a head in an embodiment of the present invention includes a necking mechanism 1, a feeding mechanism 2, and a lifting mechanism 3. The necking mechanism 1 includes a positioning member 11, and a positioning area is formed above the positioning member 11. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a driving member 21 and a supporting member 22. The driving member 21 is connected to the supporting member 22, and the driving member 21 can drive the supporting member 22 to move into or out of the positioning area. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a material supporting member 31 and a displacement member 32. The displacement member 32 is connected to the material supporting member 31 and can drive the material supporting member 31 to lift relative to the positioning member 11. When the supporting member 22 is located in the positioning area, the material supporting member 31 can rise and lift the head to be separated from the supporting member 22. When the supporting member 22 moves out of the positioning area, the material supporting member 31 can drive the head to descend to transfer the head B to the positioning member 11, and the necking mechanism 1 can perform necking treatment on the head B.

[0021] During actual use, in the production workshop, it is necessary to lift the head to the supporting member 22 by a crane (not shown in the figure), and drive the supporting member 22 to move through the driving member 21, so that the supporting member 22 and the head can be moved into the positioning area together. At this time, the material supporting member 31 rises and lifts the head to separate the head from the supporting member 22, and then drive the supporting member 22 to move through the driving member 21, so that the supporting member 22 leaves the positioning area, and the descending of the material supporting member 31 can drive the head to descend synchronously, and the head can be transferred to the positioning member 11. After the necking mechanism 1 performs necking treatment on the head, the material supporting member 31 rises to lift the head to move upward, so that the head is separated from the positioning member 11. When the head rises to a predetermined height, the driving member 21 drives the supporting member 22 to move into the positioning area, and the descending of the material supporting member 31 drives the head to descend synchronously, and the head can be transferred to the supporting member 22.

[0022] It should be noted that the necking mechanism 1 is not limited to a specific structure, as long as it can perform necking treatment on the head, and no other details will be described here.

[0023] In one embodiment, the necking mechanism 1 includes a workbench 12, a pressing member 13, a power member 14, an inner mold 15, an outer mold 16, and a pushing member 17. A positioning member 11 is disposed on the workbench 12. The positioning member 11 includes a plurality of rollers. The plurality of rollers are distributed along the circumference and rotatably connected to the workbench 12. The pressing member 13 is fixedly disposed on the workbench 12. The pressing member 13 includes a frame body 131, an electric cylinder 132 fixedly disposed on the frame body, and a pressing block 133. The pressing block is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinder. The electric cylinder can drive the pressing block to rise or fall. The electric cylinder can drive the pressing block to descend and extrude the head. The power member 14 is fixedly disposed inside the workbench 12 and its output end is fixedly connected to the inner mold 15. The power member 14 can drive the inner mold 15 to rotate. The pushing member 17 is fixedly disposed on the workbench 12, and the output end of the pushing member 17 is rotatably connected to the outer mold 16. The pushing member 17 can drive the outer mold 16 to approach or move away from the inner mold 15.

[0024] Wherein, the pressing block 133 is integrally annular. The pressing block 133 is provided with a plurality of protruding portions at intervals along the circumferential side. And the surfaces of the respective protruding portions in contact with the head are arc surfaces. When the electric cylinder 132 drives the pressing block 133 to press down the head, the plurality of protruding portions are in contact with the head.

[0025] Specifically, when the head is located on the plurality of rollers, the electric cylinder can drive the pressing block 133 to descend and extrude the head. At the same time, the inner mold 15 contacts the inner wall of the head, and the outer mold 16 contacts the outer wall of the head. By driving the inner mold 15 to rotate through the power member 14, the head and the outer mold also rotate under the action of friction. The pushing member 17 drives the outer mold 16 to approach the inner mold 15, and thus the necking of the head can be achieved.

[0026] In one embodiment, the driving member 21 can drive the supporting member 22 to rotate in the horizontal direction to drive the supporting member 22 to move into or out of the positioning area.

[0027] Specifically, the driving member 21 includes a seat body 211, a rotating shaft 212, and a forward and reverse motor 213. Wherein, the seat body 211 is fixedly disposed on the frame body. The rotating shaft 212 is rotatably disposed inside the seat body 211. The forward and reverse motor 213 is fixedly connected to the seat body 211, and the output end of the forward and reverse motor 213 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 212. The supporting member 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 212. By driving the rotating shaft 212 to rotate through the forward and reverse motor 213, the supporting member 22 is driven to rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0028] It should be noted that the support member 22 is not limited to a specific structure. In one embodiment, the support member 22 includes a bottom plate 221 and a connecting rod 222. One end of the connecting rod 222 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 221, and the other end of the connecting rod 222 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 212 of the driving member 21. When the rotating shaft 212 rotates about its own axis, the bottom plate 221 can be driven to rotate about the rotating shaft 212.

[0029] In this specific embodiment, the bottom plate 221 is integrally disc-shaped. A through hole 221a is formed in the center of the bottom plate 221, and a notch 221b communicating with the through hole 221a is also formed on the peripheral side of the bottom plate 221. Among them, the blank supporting member 31 is integrally disc-shaped, the outer diameter of the disc shape is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 221a, and a chamfered area is provided on the peripheral side of the top of the blank supporting member. When the blank supporting member 31 rises, the blank supporting member 31 can pass through the bottom plate 221 via the through hole 221a and extend above the bottom plate 221.

[0030] In one embodiment, the displacement member 32 is installed on the workbench 12, and the movable end of the displacement member 32 is connected to the blank supporting member 31. The displacement member 32 is used to drive the blank supporting member 31 to move up and down. The blank supporting member 31 can pass through the bottom plate 221 via the through hole 221a and support the head, and when the support member 22 moves out of the positioning area, the movable end of the displacement member 32 can move out of the through hole 221a via the notch 221b. Among them, the displacement member 32 is a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0031] On the basis of the above solution, in order to ensure that when the head is placed on multiple supporting rollers, the inner wall of the head is in contact with the inner mold. Specifically, an adjusting mechanism 4 is further included. The adjusting mechanism 4 is fixedly arranged on the workbench 12 and is located on one side of the positioning member 11. When the head is placed on the positioning member 11, the adjusting mechanism 4 can drive the head to move so that the inner wall of the head is in contact with the inner mold of the necking mechanism 1.

[0032] In one embodiment, the adjusting mechanism 4 includes two electric push rods. The two electric push rods are fixedly arranged on the workbench 12 and are located between two adjacent supporting rollers. Push heads are fixedly arranged at the output ends of the two electric push rods. The push heads are made of elastic rubber blocks. The two push heads are respectively driven by the electric push rods to push the head to move, so that the head slides on the supporting rollers until the inner wall is in contact with the inner mold. Among them, the two electric push rods are also respectively located on opposite sides of the pushing member 17.

[0033] On the basis of the above solution, in order to facilitate the cleaning of debris in the necking area of the head, specifically, it further includes a cleaning mechanism 5 connected to the frame body. The cleaning mechanism 5 can approach or move away from the positioning member 11, and the necking area of the head on the positioning member 11 is cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 5.

[0034] It should be noted that the cleaning mechanism 5 is not limited to a specific structure. Specifically, the cleaning mechanism 5 includes a mounting seat 51, a cleaning roller 52, and a moving member 53. Among them, the mounting seat 51 is slidably connected to the frame machine, the moving member 53 is fixedly connected to the frame body, and the movable end of the moving member 53 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 51. The cleaning roller 52 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 51. The moving member 53 is used to drive the mounting seat 51 to move relative to the positioning member 11 so that the cleaning roller 52 contacts the necking area of the head.

[0035] Among them, the moving member 53 is an electric push rod. The mounting seat 51 is pushed by the electric push rod to slide, so that the cleaning roller 52 can approach or move away from the necking area of the head.

[0036] On the basis of the above solution, in order to improve the cleaning effect on the necking area, specifically, the cleaning mechanism 5 further includes a rotating member 54. The rotating member 54 is fixedly arranged on the mounting seat 51. The output end of the rotating member 54 is connected to the cleaning roller 52 and can drive the cleaning roller 52 to rotate around its own axis. Among them, the rotating member 54 is a reduction motor.

[0037] To better understand the present invention, the following combines Figures 1 - 6 to elaborate on the technical solution of the present invention in detail: The head is lifted onto the bottom plate 221 by a gantry crane. The forward and reverse motor 213 drives the rotary shaft 212 to rotate forward, thereby driving the connecting rod 222 to rotate around the rotary shaft 212. The bottom plate 221 and the head enter the positioning area. The displacement member 32 drives the material supporting member 31 to move upward. The material supporting member 31 can pass through the through hole 221a and rise above the bottom plate 221, lifting the head to make the head leave the bottom plate 221. At this time, the forward and reverse motor 213 drives the rotary shaft 212 to rotate in the reverse direction, and the bottom plate 221 then leaves the positioning area. The displacement member 32 drives the material supporting member 31 to move downward, transferring the head to a plurality of supporting rollers. The two adjusting mechanisms 4 drive the head to move so that the inner wall of the head contacts the inner mold of the necking mechanism 1. At this time, the pushing member 17 drives the outer mold 16 to approach the inner mold 15, squeezing the head between the inner mold 15 and the outer mold 16. The power member 14 drives the inner mold 15 to rotate, and under the action of friction, the head and the outer mold also rotate, and the necking of the head can be realized. After the necking is formed, the moving member 53 drives the mounting seat 51 to slide, so that the cleaning roller 52 contacts the necking area of the head. The rotating member 54 drives the cleaning roller 52 to rotate around its own axis, and the cleaning roller 52 can clean the metal chips generated by the necking. Finally, the displacement member 32 drives the material supporting member 31 to move upward, lifting the head and separating it from the plurality of supporting rollers. The forward and reverse motor 213 drives the rotary shaft 212 to rotate forward, so that the bottom plate 221 enters the positioning area again. The displacement member 32 drives the material supporting member 31 to move downward, and the head can be placed on the bottom plate 221. The forward and reverse motor 213 drives the rotary shaft 212 to rotate in the reverse direction, moving the head out of the positioning area. Repeating the above process can continuously neck each head.
