Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydraulic forming equipment technology, specifically to an adaptive station fully automatic intelligent hydraulic forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing and processing of metal parts, metal or alloy sheets need to be pressed into specific shapes using hydraulic forming equipment. Before pressing, the copper sheet needs to be heated to soften the metal or alloy at high temperature, which facilitates plastic deformation and avoids cracking or breaking during processing. Then, hydraulic equipment is used to apply pressure through a mold to press the softened sheet into a specific shape. During pressing, the pressing temperature is usually the same as the heating temperature. Therefore, in existing hydraulic forming equipment, the heating equipment is usually set in the lower mold where the copper sheet is placed.

[0003] However, once the heating equipment inside the mold reaches the heating temperature, it needs to be kept at that temperature for a period of time to ensure that the sheet material is completely softened and reaches a uniform structure. During the holding time, the hydraulic equipment and all auxiliary stations are at a standstill, resulting in a long pressing and forming process time and low processing efficiency. Furthermore, different materials and thicknesses of sheet material require different heating methods. Existing heating equipment inside the mold is limited and needs to be adapted to the mold shape, making it difficult for hydraulic forming equipment to meet the forming requirements of sheet material with different forming shapes and heating methods. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an adaptive station fully automatic intelligent hydraulic forming machine to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an adaptive station fully automatic intelligent hydraulic forming machine, comprising a hydraulic press, wherein the hydraulic press includes a machine body, and a bottom mold and an upper pressing mold driven by a hydraulic cylinder are installed inside the machine body; it also includes a station adjustment mechanism, a heating station integration mechanism, a station transfer mechanism, and a blank feeding mechanism, wherein:

[0006] The workstation adjustment mechanism includes a base, a lifting frame is installed on the upper end of the base, the hydraulic press is located at the front end of the lifting frame, and linear electric slides driven by motors are symmetrically installed at both ends of the inner side of the lifting frame.

[0007] The heating station integrated mechanism includes symmetrically arranged lifting seats, which are raised and lowered by a linear electric slide. Multiple retractable and built-in heating chambers for raw materials are arranged between the lifting seats, and the multiple heating chambers for raw materials are arranged vertically between the lifting seats.

[0008] The workstation transfer mechanism is located at the rear end of the lifting frame and is horizontally aligned with the bottom mold, and is used to push the billet heating chamber to the bottom mold.

[0009] The blank feeding mechanism is installed at the rear end of the lifting frame and is used to automatically guide the blank into the blank heating chamber.

[0010] Preferably, a first electromagnetic heating seat is installed on the bottom output rod of the hydraulic cylinder at the top of the hydraulic press, with the heating surface of the first electromagnetic heating seat facing downwards. The upper mold is detachably installed at the bottom of the first electromagnetic heating seat by bolts. A second electromagnetic heating seat is installed at the bottom mold of the machine body, with the heating surface of the second electromagnetic heating seat facing upwards. The bottom mold is detachably installed at the upper end of the second electromagnetic heating seat by bolts.

[0011] The hydraulic cylinder drives the second electromagnetic heating seat downwards, simultaneously heating the upper mold at the bottom. At the same time, the first electromagnetic heating seat heats the bottom mold at the top. The upper mold moves downwards to close with the bottom mold, pressing the heated and softened blank on the bottom mold into a specific shape under the pressure of the mold, thus completing the pressing process.

[0012] Preferably, the workstation adjustment mechanism further includes positioning guide rails symmetrically installed at both ends of the inner side of the lifting frame. The positioning guide rails are located on both sides of the linear electric slide table. Multiple symmetrically arranged lifting slides are installed on the outer side of the lifting seat plate. The lifting slides are slidably connected to the positioning guide rails.

[0013] The linear electric slide table drives the lifting seat plate to move up and down, which in turn drives the billet heating chamber between the lifting seat plates to move up and down, so that the billet heating chamber corresponds with the billet feeding mechanism and the station transfer mechanism.

[0014] Preferably, the rear end of the billet heating chamber is symmetrically provided with a billet heating groove, and the front end of the billet heating chamber is symmetrically installed with a push cylinder. The output end of the push cylinder extends into the billet heating groove and is equipped with a push plate. The push plate is slidably connected to and cooperates with the billet heating groove.

[0015] When the workstation transfer mechanism transfers the billet heating chamber to the bottom mold, the push cylinder at the rear end of the billet heating chamber is activated. The push cylinder drives the push plate to move towards the bottom mold, and the push plate pushes the billet that has been heated and softened in the billet heating tank onto the bottom mold.

[0016] Preferably, the billet heating chamber is provided with four chambers arranged vertically. The top two chambers are hot oil heating chambers, and the bottom two chambers are electric heating chambers. In the hot oil heating chamber, hot oil flow chambers are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the billet heating tank. Hot oil pipes for circulating hot oil are symmetrically installed at the front end of the hot oil flow chambers. A partition guide plate is installed in the middle of the hot oil flow chamber. A filler strip is installed on the side of the hot oil flow chamber away from the billet heating tank. A hot oil connecting pipe connected to the hot oil pipe is installed at the rear end of the hot oil heating chamber. In the electric heating chamber, heating chambers are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the billet heating tank. Electric heating pipes are installed in the heating chambers in a uniform arrangement.

[0017] Preferably, telescopic slides are symmetrically installed at both ends of the billet heating chamber, and telescopic slide rails are installed on the inner side of the lifting seat plate. The telescopic slides are slidably connected to the telescopic slide rails. The telescopic slides are provided with connecting slots, and multiple locking slots are provided on the top inner wall of the connecting slots.

[0018] Preferably, the workstation transfer mechanism includes a mounting base installed at the rear end of the lifting frame. A fixed platform and symmetrically arranged transfer cylinders are installed on the top of the mounting base. A connecting plate is installed at the output end of the transfer cylinder. Multiple locking pins are installed on the top of the connecting plate. The connecting plate and the locking pins are movably connected and cooperate with the connecting slot and the locking groove, respectively. A telescopic seat is installed at the rear end of the connecting plate. A limiting plate that is slidably connected to the fixed platform is installed on the side end of the telescopic seat.

[0019] After the billet in the heating chamber is heated and softened, the lifting seat plate is moved up and down by the linear electric slide, thereby aligning the heating chamber with the connecting plate on the mounting base. At this time, the transfer cylinder is activated, which moves the connecting plate towards the heating chamber. The connecting plate moves forward and inserts into the connecting slots at the front end of the telescopic slides on both sides of the heating chamber. After the connecting plate is fully inserted, the transfer cylinder stops, and the linear electric slide lowers the heating chamber slightly, so that the locking pin on the connecting plate is inserted upward into the locking groove in the connecting slot. At this time, the transfer cylinder continues to start, moving the heating chamber forward to above the bottom mold, so that the opening of the heating groove of the heating chamber corresponds to the bottom mold.

[0020] Preferably, the blank feeding mechanism includes a fixed base installed at the rear end of the lifting frame, a movable platform that can slide back and forth is installed on the upper end of the fixed base, mounting frames are symmetrically installed on the upper end of the movable platform, mounting slots are provided on the top of the mounting frames, blank boxes are movably connected in the mounting slots, a feeding port is provided at the bottom of the blank boxes, and feeding cylinders are also symmetrically installed on the upper end of the movable platform, with a feeding push frame movably connected to the feeding port installed at the output end of the feeding cylinders.

[0021] Preferably, the upper end of the fixed base is symmetrically equipped with a movable slide rail, the bottom of the movable platform is symmetrically equipped with a plurality of movable slide seats that are slidably connected to the movable slide rail, the bottom of the fixed base is equipped with a movable cylinder, the output rod of the movable cylinder is fixedly connected to the movable platform through a connecting seat, and the two ends of the fixed base are symmetrically equipped with blank placement grooves.

[0022] The metal blanks to be processed are stacked one on top of the other in the blank box. After the blanks enter the blank box, the bottom blank aligns with the loading port. Then, the blank box is inserted into the mounting frame from top to bottom through the mounting slot. At this time, the loading push frame on the loading cylinder aligns with the loading port. The linear electric slide moves the lifting seat plate up and down, moving the empty blank heating chamber between the lifting seat plates to align with the loading port. Then, the moving cylinder is activated, moving the moving table forward until it is close to the blank heating chamber. Then, the loading cylinder is activated, moving the loading push frame forward. The loading push frame pushes the bottom blank in the blank box forward into the blank heating tank of the blank heating chamber.

[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. This invention uses multiple vertically arranged and height-adjustable billet heating chambers independently set outside the mold, combined with a cylinder-driven feeding frame in the billet feeding mechanism, to introduce multiple batches of billets into the billet heating chambers at multiple workstations for heating and softening treatment. This allows the hydraulic equipment to continuously perform pressing and molding operations, reducing the impact of prolonged billet heating and softening on pressing and molding efficiency, improving the continuity of pressing and molding operations, and increasing pressing and molding efficiency.

[0025] 2. This invention integrates multiple electric heating chambers and hot oil heating chambers with different heating devices in the heating station integrated mechanism. It can select the appropriate heating chamber to soften the blank according to factors such as the material, thickness, and processing requirements of the blank, thus expanding the applicability of this device. It can meet the heating and softening requirements of blanks with different heating methods. Furthermore, the upper and lower molds, which can be detachably installed on the electromagnetic heating base, can meet the forming requirements of blanks with different forming shapes without affecting the heating during pressing.

[0026] 3. In this invention, the feeding mechanism is installed at the middle of the rear end of the lifting frame. When the blank to be heated is introduced into the empty heating chamber, the feeding cylinder pushes the blank in. The heating chamber is raised and lowered by a linear electric slide table so that each heating chamber can be aligned with the feeding mechanism for feeding. Similarly, each heating chamber can be aligned with the station transfer mechanism so that the heated chamber is pushed to the bottom mold by the transfer cylinder in the station transfer mechanism. Then, the blank is pushed onto the bottom mold by the push cylinder. The heating, softening, transfer and feeding of the blank are fully automatic, without the need for manual operation and handling, which improves processing efficiency and safety.

[0027] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this invention. Example 1

[0044] Please see Figures 1-13 The present invention provides a technical solution: an adaptive station fully automatic intelligent hydraulic forming machine, including a hydraulic press 1, the hydraulic press 1 including a machine body 12, a bottom mold 14 and an upper pressure mold 13 driven by a hydraulic cylinder 11 installed in the machine body 12, and also including a station adjustment mechanism 2, a heating station integrated mechanism 3, a station transfer mechanism 4 and a blank feeding mechanism 5, wherein:

[0045] The workstation adjustment mechanism 2 includes a base 24, a lifting frame 21 is installed on the upper end of the base 24, the hydraulic press 1 is located at the front end of the lifting frame 21, and linear electric slides 23 driven by motors are symmetrically installed on both ends of the inner side of the lifting frame 21.

[0046] The heating station integrated mechanism 3 includes symmetrically arranged lifting seats 31. The lifting seats 31 are lifted by a linear electric slide table 23. Multiple retractable and built-in heating chambers 33 of different blanks are arranged between the lifting seats 31. The multiple heating chambers 33 of the blanks are arranged vertically between the lifting seats 31.

[0047] The workstation transfer mechanism 4 is located at the rear end of the lifting frame 21 and is horizontally corresponding to the bottom mold 14. It is used to push the billet heating chamber 33 to the bottom mold 14.

[0048] The billet feeding mechanism 5 is installed at the rear end of the lifting frame 21 and is used to automatically guide the billet into the billet heating chamber 33.

[0049] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1-8 The hydraulic cylinder 11 at the top of the hydraulic press 1 is equipped with a first electromagnetic heating seat 15 at the bottom output rod. The heating surface of the first electromagnetic heating seat 15 faces downward. The upper mold 13 is detachably installed at the bottom of the first electromagnetic heating seat 15 by bolts. The bottom of the first electromagnetic heating seat 15 heats the upper mold 13 at the bottom. A second electromagnetic heating seat 16 is installed at the bottom mold 14 on the machine body 12. The heating surface of the second electromagnetic heating seat 16 faces upward. The bottom mold 14 is detachably installed at the upper end of the second electromagnetic heating seat 16 by bolts. The second electromagnetic heating seat 16 heats the bottom mold 14 at the upper end, so that the blank is heated when the upper mold 13 presses down.

[0050] The hydraulic cylinder 11 drives the second electromagnetic heating seat 16 to move downward. At the same time, the second electromagnetic heating seat 16 heats the upper mold 13 at the bottom, while the first electromagnetic heating seat 15 heats the bottom mold 14 at the top. The upper mold 13 moves downward and closes with the bottom mold 14, so that the heated and softened blank on the bottom mold 14 is pressed into a specific shape under the pressure of the mold, thus completing the pressing.

[0051] Furthermore, the workstation adjustment mechanism 2 also includes positioning guide rails 22 symmetrically installed at both ends of the inner side of the lifting frame 21. The positioning guide rails 22 are located on both sides of the linear electric slide table 23. Multiple symmetrically arranged lifting slides 312 are installed on the outer side of the lifting seat plate 31. The lifting slides 312 are slidably connected to the positioning guide rails 22.

[0052] The linear electric slide 23 drives the lifting seat plate 31 to move up and down, which in turn drives the blank heating chamber 33 between the lifting seat plates 31 to move up and down, so that the blank heating chamber 33 corresponds with the blank feeding mechanism 5 and the station transfer mechanism 4.

[0053] The rear end of the billet heating chamber 33 is symmetrically provided with a billet heating groove 34, and the front end of the billet heating chamber 33 is symmetrically provided with a push cylinder 32. The output end of the push cylinder 32 extends into the billet heating groove 34 and is provided with a push plate 321. The push plate 321 is slidably connected to and cooperates with the billet heating groove 34.

[0054] When the workstation transfer mechanism 4 transfers the billet heating chamber 33 to the bottom mold 14, the push cylinder 32 at the rear end of the billet heating chamber 33 is activated. The push cylinder 32 drives the push plate 321 to move towards the bottom mold 14. The push plate 321 pushes the billet that has been heated and softened in the billet heating tank 34 onto the bottom mold 14. Example 2

[0055] This embodiment provides the distribution location and specific internal heating structure of the blank heating chamber 33 with different built-in heating devices. Please refer to the appendix. Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 There are four billet heating chambers 33 arranged vertically. The top two billet heating chambers 33 are hot oil heating chambers 331. Hot oil flow chambers 332 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the billet heating tank 34 in the hot oil heating chamber 331. Hot oil pipes 335 for circulating hot oil are symmetrically installed at the front end of the hot oil flow chamber 332. A partition guide plate 333 is installed in the middle of the hot oil flow chamber 332. A filler strip 334 is installed on the side of the hot oil flow chamber 332 away from the billet heating tank 34. A hot oil connecting pipe 336 connected to the hot oil pipe 335 is installed at the rear end of the hot oil heating chamber 331.

[0056] Furthermore, heating chambers 338 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the heating tank 34 in the electric heating chamber 337, and electric heating tubes 339 are installed in the heating chambers 338.

[0057] In this embodiment, the hot oil heating chamber 331 is connected to the hot oil pipe 335 via the hot oil connecting pipe 336. After the blank enters the blank heating tank 34 in the hot oil heating chamber 331, the high temperature generated by the hot oil in the hot oil flow chamber 332 is transferred to the blank to heat and soften it. The hot oil circulates through the hot oil pipe 335. In the electric heating chamber 337, the electric heating tube 339 heats up to heat and soften the blank in the electric heating chamber 337.

[0058] It should be noted that the hot oil heating softening method provides uniform heating temperature and high temperature control precision, making it suitable for heating and softening blanks that require close processing control. The electric heating tube 339 heating method is easy to control and has high heating efficiency, making it suitable for mass production of blanks with low precision requirements. Example 3

[0059] This embodiment provides a station transfer mechanism 4, which is used to transfer the heated blank heating chamber 33 to the bottom mold 14 after heating, so that the blank is pushed onto the bottom mold 14. Please refer to the attached drawing. Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 The workstation transfer mechanism 4 includes a mounting base 42 installed at the rear end of the lifting frame 21. A fixed platform 46 and symmetrically arranged transfer cylinders 41 are installed on the top of the mounting base 42. A connecting plate 43 is installed at the output end of the transfer cylinder 41. Multiple locking pins 431 are installed on the top of the connecting plate 43. The connecting plate 43 and the locking pins 431 are movably connected and cooperate with the connecting slot 351 and the locking groove 352, respectively. A telescopic seat 44 is installed at the rear end of the connecting plate 43. A limiting plate 45 that is slidably connected to the fixed platform 46 is installed on the side end of the telescopic seat 44.

[0060] Furthermore, telescopic slides 35 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the billet heating chamber 33, and telescopic slide rails 311 are installed on the inner side of the lifting seat plate 31. The telescopic slides 35 and the telescopic slide rails 311 are slidably connected. The telescopic slides 35 are provided with connecting slots 351, and multiple locking slots 352 are provided on the inner wall of the top of the connecting slots 351.

[0061] In this embodiment, after the raw material in the heating chamber 33 is heated and softened, the linear electric slide 23 drives the lifting seat plate 31 to move up and down, thereby driving the heating chamber 33 to be horizontally aligned with the connecting plate 43 on the mounting base 42. At this time, the transfer cylinder 41 is started, and the transfer cylinder 41 drives the connecting plate 43 to move towards the heating chamber 33. The connecting plate 43 moves forward and inserts into the connecting slot 351 at the front end of the telescopic slide 35 on both sides of the heating chamber 33. After the connecting plate 43 is fully inserted, the transfer cylinder 41 stops, and the linear electric slide 23 drives the heating chamber 33 to descend slightly, so that the locking pin 431 on the connecting plate 43 is inserted upward into the locking groove 352 in the connecting slot 351. At this time, the transfer cylinder 41 continues to start, driving the heating chamber 33 to move forward to above the bottom mold 14, so that the opening of the heating groove 34 of the heating chamber 33 corresponds to the bottom mold 14. Example 4

[0062] This embodiment provides a blank feeding mechanism 5 for automatically feeding blanks into the blank heating chamber 33. Please refer to the attached document. Figure 10 The blank feeding mechanism 5 includes a fixed seat 51 installed at the rear end of the lifting frame 21. A movable platform 52 that can slide back and forth is installed on the upper end of the fixed seat 51. A mounting frame 53 is symmetrically installed on the upper end of the movable platform 52. A mounting slot 531 is provided on the top of the mounting frame 53. A blank box 54 is movably connected in the mounting slot 531. A feeding port 541 is provided at the bottom of the blank box 54. A feeding cylinder 55 is also symmetrically installed on the upper end of the movable platform 52. A feeding push frame 551 that is movably connected to the feeding port 541 is installed at the output end of the feeding cylinder 55.

[0063] Furthermore, a movable slide rail 511 is symmetrically installed on the upper end of the fixed base 51, and multiple movable slide blocks 521 that are slidably connected to the movable slide rail 511 are symmetrically installed on the bottom of the movable table 52. A movable cylinder 57 is installed on the bottom of the fixed base 51, and the output rod of the movable cylinder 57 is fixedly connected to the movable table 52 through the connecting seat 571. A blank placement groove 56 is symmetrically installed at both ends of the fixed base 51.

[0064] In this embodiment, metal blanks are stacked vertically in the blank box 54. After the blanks enter the blank box 54, the bottom blank aligns with the loading port 541. Then, the blank box 54 is inserted from top to bottom into the mounting bracket 53 through the mounting slot 531. At this time, the loading push frame 551 on the loading cylinder 55 aligns with the loading port 541. The linear electric slide 23 then drives the lifting seat plate 31 to move up and down, moving the empty blank heating chamber 33 between the lifting seat plates 31 until it is aligned with the loading port 541. Then, the moving cylinder 57 is activated. The moving table 52 is moved forward to be close to the blank heating chamber 33. Then the feeding cylinder 55 is started to move the feeding push frame 551 forward. The feeding push frame 551 pushes the blank at the bottom of the blank box 54 forward and into the blank heating groove 34 of the blank heating chamber 33 to complete the blank feeding. There are multiple blank heating chambers 33. Before the pressing and molding operation, the linear electric slide table 23 is used to align each blank heating chamber 33 with the feeding port 541 in sequence, and the blank feeding is completed by the feeding cylinder 55.

[0065] The adaptive station fully automatic intelligent hydraulic forming machine provided by this invention has the following usage and function:

[0066] First, the metal blanks to be processed are stacked vertically in the blank box 54. After the blanks enter the blank box 54, the bottom blank aligns with the loading port 541. Then, the blank box 54 is inserted into the mounting frame 53 from top to bottom through the mounting slot 531. At this time, the loading push frame 551 on the loading cylinder 55 aligns with the loading port 541. Then, the linear electric slide 23 drives the lifting seat plate 31 to move up and down, so that the empty blank heating chamber 33 between the lifting seat plates 31 moves to align with the loading port 541. Then, the moving cylinder 57 is activated, driving the moving table 52 to move forward, so that the moving table 52 moves close to the blank heating chamber 33. Then, the loading cylinder 55 is activated, driving the loading push frame 551 to move forward, pushing the loading push frame 551 forward. The blank at the bottom of the moving blank box 54 moves forward and enters the blank heating tank 34 of the blank heating chamber 33 to complete the blank feeding. There are multiple blank heating chambers 33. Before the pressing and molding operation, the linear electric slide table 23 aligns each blank heating chamber 33 with the feeding port 541 in sequence, and the feeding cylinder 55 completes the blank feeding. During the pressing and molding process, when the blank in a blank heating chamber 33 is heated and transferred to the hydraulic press 1 to complete the pressing and molding, the blank heating chamber 33 is empty. Through the above steps, the empty blank heating chamber 33 is aligned with the feeding port 541 for feeding. Multiple blank heating chambers 33 heat and soften multiple blanks, thereby providing a continuous supply of softened blanks to the hydraulic press 1.

[0067] After the billet in the heating chamber 33 has been heated and softened, the linear electric slide 23 drives the lifting seat plate 31 to move up and down, thereby aligning the heating chamber 33 with the connecting plate 43 on the mounting base 42. At this time, the transfer cylinder 41 is activated, which moves the connecting plate 43 towards the heating chamber 33. The connecting plate 43 moves forward and inserts into the connecting slot 351 at the front end of the telescopic slide 35 on both sides of the heating chamber 33. After the connecting plate 43 is fully inserted, the transfer cylinder 41 stops, and the linear electric slide 23 drives the heating chamber 33 to descend slightly, so that the connecting plate 43 is fully inserted. The locking pin 431 on plate 43 is inserted upward into the locking groove 352 in the connecting slot 351. At this time, the transfer cylinder 41 continues to start and drive the blank heating chamber 33 to move forward to above the bottom mold 14, so that the groove of the blank heating groove 34 of the blank heating chamber 33 corresponds to the bottom mold 14. At this time, the start push cylinder 32 at the rear end of the blank heating chamber 33 drives the push plate 321 to move towards the bottom mold 14. The push plate 321 drives the blank that has been heated and softened in the blank heating groove 34 to be pushed out onto the bottom mold 14. Then the transfer cylinder 41 drives the blank heating chamber 33 to retract back to the lifting seat plate 31 to reset.

[0068] At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 11 drives the second electromagnetic heating seat 16 to move downward. At the same time, the second electromagnetic heating seat 16 heats the upper mold 13 at the bottom, while the first electromagnetic heating seat 15 heats the bottom mold 14 at the top. The upper mold 13 moves downward and closes with the bottom mold 14, so that the heated and softened blank on the bottom mold 14 is pressed into a specific shape under the pressure of the mold, thus completing the pressing and molding.
