[0040] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a punching device for pipe fittings includes a press 1 and a punching die 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a pushing mechanism 4, and a rotating mechanism 5 arranged on a press workbench 11. The output end of the press 1 is connected to the punching die 2 and cooperates with the punching die 2 for punching. The pushing mechanism 4 is arranged on one side of the punching die 2, and is used to drive the rotating mechanism 5 to move, so that the rotating mechanism 5 is connected to or separated from the punching die 2 and the workpiece on the lifting mechanism 3. The lifting mechanism 3 is arranged between the punching die 2 and the pushing mechanism 4 for loading and unloading transfer. The rotating mechanism 5 is arranged on the pushing mechanism 4, and is used to drive the workpiece to rotate, including a clamping claw assembly for grabbing the workpiece; the punching die 2 is arranged in the middle position of the press workbench 11, and includes a blade entry block 21. The blade entry block 21 is provided with a plurality of punch entry holes 211 arranged along the axial direction of the workpiece, that is, the punch entry holes 211 correspond to the holes to be processed in the same radial direction on the outer peripheral side of the workpiece, and the number of punch entry holes 211 is equal to the number of rows of holes on the workpiece. The punching die 2, the lifting mechanism 3, and the rotating mechanism 5 are arranged in sequence along the pushing direction of the pushing mechanism 4. During processing, the workpiece blank is placed on the lifting mechanism 3, and then the pushing mechanism 4 is started to drive the rotating mechanism 5 close to the lifting mechanism. The clamping claw assembly grabs the blank on the lifting mechanism 3, the lifting mechanism 3 descends, and the pushing mechanism 4 continues to push forward to send the blank into the punching die 2, and process the holes to be processed in the same radial direction on the outer peripheral side of the workpiece to complete one punching; then, the rotating mechanism 5 drives the blank to rotate, and punches the holes to be processed in other directions on the outer peripheral side of the workpiece in turn to complete all hole processing of the workpiece; the workpiece after processing is sent to the lifting mechanism 3 to wait for unloading.

[0043] The present invention can complete the punching process of the pipe fitting in multiple times in one step, and completes the hole processing in the same radial direction on the outer peripheral side of the workpiece each time, without multiple debugging, and the processing quality is stable, thereby improving production efficiency and production quality; and only one blade entry block and one punch for punching direction need to be provided, which simplifies the structure of the punching die and ensures the strength of the blade entry block and the core rod, especially for the case where the aperture of the pipe fitting is small, reduces consumables and saves production costs.

[0044] like Figure 4 、 6As shown, the punching die 2 also includes a core rod 22, and the blade entry block 21 is arranged at the end of the core rod 22. The blade entry block 21 and the end of the core rod 22 form a cylinder that is compatible with the inner side of the workpiece. During processing, the workpiece is sleeved on the outside of the cylinder to coaxially position the workpiece.

[0045] Specifically, a notch is provided at one end of the core rod 22, and a mounting groove 221 is provided on the notch. The blade entry block 21 is provided at the notch, and the lower end of the blade entry block 21 is embedded in the mounting groove 221 to ensure that the blade entry block 21 and the core rod 22 are firmly connected.

[0046] In addition, if Figure 2 、 5 As shown in Figure 6, to facilitate waste discharge, one end of the mandrel 22 is provided with a waste discharge port 222 located below the blade entry block 21. This port 222 communicates with the punch entry hole 221, and the bottom of this port 222 is formed into a sloped guide surface. To further facilitate waste discharge, a waste guide trough 28 secured to the lower die assembly 24 is provided on the outside of the waste discharge port 222. This slanted guide trough 28 also prevents waste from falling onto the equipment and affecting its normal operation.

[0047] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the punching die 2 also includes an upper die assembly 23 and a lower die assembly 24. The upper die assembly 23 is connected to the output end of the press 1, and the lower die assembly 24 is arranged below the upper die assembly 23. A receiving groove 26 for receiving the workpiece is provided between the upper die assembly 23 and the lower die assembly 24. When the die is closed, the receiving groove 26 is adapted to the outside of the workpiece, and the core rod 22 is inserted into the receiving groove 26. The receiving groove 26 cooperates with the core rod 22 to position the workpiece.

[0048] The upper mold assembly 23 includes an upper mold connecting plate 231, an upper mold plate 232, and an upper mold floating plate 233. The upper mold connecting plate 231 is provided with an upper mold plate 232. The upper mold floating plate 233 is provided below the upper mold plate 232 and is elastically connected to the upper mold plate 232 through a nitrogen spring 234. The upper mold plate 232 is provided with a plurality of punches 235 corresponding to the punch entry holes 211. The lower end of the punch 235 is inserted into the upper mold floating plate 233 and is slidably connected to the upper mold floating plate 233. The upper end of the punch 235 is also provided with a stop boss 2351. The stop boss 2351 limits the lower position of the punch 235 in the upper mold plate 232.

[0049] In addition, if Figure 2 、 3As shown in Figure 5, the punching die 2 also includes a selection component 25 provided on the upper die assembly 23. The selection component 25 controls the corresponding number of punches to perform punching according to the number of holes in the same radial direction on the outer peripheral side of the workpiece, thereby controlling the number of punchings per punching. The selection component 25 includes a selection cylinder 251 and a slider 252. The output end of the selection cylinder 251 is provided with a slider 252. A slide groove 253 is provided in the upper die assembly 23, which is specifically provided at the bottom of the upper die connecting plate 231. The slider 252 is inserted into the slide groove 253 and is connected to the upper die connecting plate 231. The slide groove 253 is slidably connected, and the slider 252 is arranged above the punch 235. The bottom surface of the slider 252 abuts against the top surface of the punch 235, limiting the upper position of the punch 235 in the upper template 232. The slider 252 cooperates with the top stop boss 2351 to limit the punch. The lower end of the slider 252 is provided with an avoidance groove 2521. The upper end of the punch 235 located below the avoidance groove 2521 can rise into the avoidance groove 2521. The punch is in a floating state and there is no impact force at the lower end, so that the punch 235 does not punch a hole during punching.

[0050] In this embodiment, the outer side of the workpiece has two rows of holes, one row with 6 holes and the other row with 3 holes, and the number of punch entry holes is 2. When there is only one hole in the radial direction of the workpiece, the cylinder 251 is activated to drive the slider 252 to move so that the avoidance groove 2521 is located above the punch 235 that is not being punched. It can be seen that by selecting the configuration of the component 25, when the workpiece has different numbers of holes in the same radial direction, there is no need to replace the blade entry block during processing. It can adapt to situations where the number of holes in each row is the same, and it can also adapt to situations where the number of holes in each row is different, which provides greater flexibility, a wider range of applications, and improved production efficiency.

[0051] In addition, if Figure 2-5 As shown, the lower die assembly 24 is fixed to the press worktable 11 and comprises a lower die base plate 241 and a lower die plate 242.

The receiving groove 26 comprises a semicircular groove located in the middle of the upper end of the lower die plate 242 and an arcuate groove located in the middle of the lower end of the upper die floating plate 233. Both ends of the arcuate groove are provided with outwardly extending flares to facilitate downward pressing of the arcuate groove into the workpiece. Furthermore, a guide rod is provided between the upper die plate 232 and the upper die floating plate 233. Positioning rods are provided on the upper and lower die assemblies 23 and 24 for positioning the upper and lower dies.

[0052] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the punching die 2 also includes a fixed seat 27, which is arranged on the lower die bottom plate 241 and abuts against the lower die plate 242, and the fixed seat 27 protrudes from the top surface of the lower die plate. When the workpiece is sent into the accommodating groove, it can be limited by the top stop of the fixed seat. One end of the core rod 22 is inserted in the fixed seat 27, and the other end extends out of the fixed seat 27 and is inserted into the semicircular groove of the lower die plate 242. The core rod 22 is coaxially arranged with the semicircular groove.
