Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal stamping waste cleaning, and in particular to a metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism and a cleaning method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Metal stamping is widely used in modern manufacturing, particularly in the automotive, home appliance, and electronics industries. Stamping technology enables the rapid, mass-production of complex, high-precision metal products. However, during the stamping process, operations such as cutting, forming, and punching often leave a large amount of waste material inside the die, such as scraps and punching shavings. Failure to promptly remove this waste material not only impairs proper die operation but can also damage the die and reduce workpiece quality. Therefore, effectively removing waste from stamping dies is a key issue in improving production efficiency and product quality. Stamping die waste removal primarily relies on manual labor or simple mechanical devices. However, manual removal is inefficient, labor-intensive, and poses significant safety risks. Simple mechanical devices typically use air blowing or gravity drop to remove waste material from the die. However, due to variations in waste shape, weight, and adhesion, these methods often fail to completely remove the waste, leading to waste accumulation within the die cavity, affecting die closure and product precision. Especially in the stamping process of high-strength steel and composite materials, the waste often has high hardness and toughness, and is easily stuck in the mold gap, bringing more challenges to waste cleaning.

[0003] In addition, with the popularization of automated production lines in the stamping field, mold waste cleaning mechanisms also face the problem of compatibility with automated equipment. Some traditional waste cleaning methods have the disadvantages of poor stability and high failure rate in automated systems, making it difficult to meet the requirements of continuous production. Therefore, the development of an efficient, stable, and highly automated waste cleaning mechanism has become an important direction for the development of metal stamping mold technology. In response to the shortcomings of existing waste cleaning mechanisms, researchers have begun to explore new cleaning equipment based on a combination of mechanical vibration, negative pressure adsorption, electromagnetic cleaning and other methods. These devices operate automatically in the working gap of the mold and can adapt to the needs of waste removal of different shapes and materials. At the same time, by integrating with the automated control system, the waste accumulation situation can be monitored in real time, and waste cleaning operations can be performed in a timely manner, thereby improving the mold life and product quality.

[0004] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the above technical problems, the present invention designs a metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism and a cleaning method thereof, which solves the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical purpose to be achieved by the present invention is: to design a metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism and a cleaning method thereof, and for different stamping wastes, first adjust the distance of the extrusion rollers to produce waste pieces of appropriate size, which are further collected for secondary processing.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The present invention relates to a metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism, which has a reasonable structural design and can efficiently clean and collect stamping waste, reduce the risk of die blockage, and thus improve the continuity and stability of stamping operations.

[0007] The waste cleaning mechanism mainly includes seven parts: cleaning mechanism, driving assembly, extrusion assembly, connecting pipe, collection box, guide pipe and sorting assembly. These parts cooperate with each other to effectively realize the automatic collection and discharge of waste.

[0008] The cleaning mechanism is the core of the entire system, installed beneath the metal stamping die. It primarily handles and processes the waste generated during the stamping process. During the stamping process, waste typically includes cut metal edges, punching shavings, and stamping debris. After the stamping operation, this waste quickly falls into the cleaning mechanism.

[0009] The drive assembly, mounted on the side of the cleaning mechanism, provides the power source, making the cleaning process more efficient and reliable. The drive assembly typically utilizes either an electric motor or a pneumatic device, allowing for flexible selection of the appropriate power source based on the specific needs of the production line. When waste enters the cleaning mechanism, the drive assembly immediately activates, driving the extrusion assembly to compress the waste, preventing accumulation that could affect subsequent discharge operations.

[0010] The extrusion assembly is installed within the cleaning mechanism. Its primary function is to squeeze and compress the accumulated stamping waste, reducing its volume and facilitating subsequent collection and transport. The extrusion assembly can utilize either a piston-type or rotary compression mechanism to ensure that the waste is effectively compressed into a mass during the extrusion process, reducing its volume and facilitating collection.

[0011] After extrusion, the waste flows through a connecting pipe into a collection box. This connecting pipe, installed below the cleaning mechanism, is made of wear-resistant material to protect the pipe walls from metal particles that may be present in the waste. The collection box, mounted at the lower end of the connecting pipe, is primarily used for centralized waste storage. The collection box is removable for easy regular emptying and maintenance.

[0012] While waste is being collected, it is also properly channeled into the collection box via a guide tube. Installed on the side of the collection box, the guide tube guides the waste during discharge, preventing it from scattering and impacting the workshop environment. A sorting assembly, installed beneath the connecting pipe, organizes and organizes the waste under the guidance of the guide tube, ensuring neat stacking for easy subsequent processing and transport.

[0013] The cleaning mechanism is the core structure of the metal stamping die scrap cleaning system, primarily responsible for carrying and initially handling scrap. The mechanism comprises a mounting frame, an adjustment assembly, and a movable assembly. The mounting frame, as the foundational structure of the entire cleaning mechanism, offers strong stability and high load-bearing capacity, firmly supporting the operation of the cleaning assembly. The mounting frame is typically constructed of metal to ensure durability under prolonged, high-frequency operation. The adjustment assembly, mounted on the side of the mounting frame, primarily adjusts the spatial flexibility of the cleaning mechanism. This adjustment assembly allows the position and angle of the cleaning mechanism to be adjusted according to actual production needs, ensuring smooth entry of scrap into the cleaning area. The movable assembly, mounted on one end of the adjustment assembly, is driven by the adjustment assembly for horizontal or vertical movement. This design effectively prevents scrap accumulation within the cleaning mechanism, enhancing smooth and stable scrap cleaning. Through its rational structural layout, the cleaning mechanism maintains stable operation even under high-intensity stamping operations, preventing scrap blockage and equipment downtime.

[0014] The mounting frame is a key support component of the cleaning mechanism. Its rationally designed structure provides excellent support and stability during stamping operations. The mounting frame consists of a mounting plate, mounting holes, adjustment slots, limit guides, a through slot, and a fixing plate. The mounting plate, located on the side of the mounting frame, is a crucial component for mounting and securing the cleaning mechanism. To enhance the frame's installation flexibility, the mounting plate features multiple through holes, with their arrangement and dimensions carefully calculated to facilitate quick fixation in various operating environments. Adjustment slots, located on the side of the mounting frame, accommodate sliding adjustments of the adjustment assembly within the frame, enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment. Limit guides, mounted on the top of the mounting frame, precisely control the position of the cleaning mechanism and prevent it from shifting due to external forces. A through slot, located at the bottom of the mounting frame, allows for the rapid discharge of waste, ensuring smooth flow from the cleaning mechanism. The fixing plate, mounted on the top of the frame, reinforces the overall structure and effectively enhances its stability, ensuring reliable cleaning operations even under high-frequency stamping.

[0015] As a key auxiliary component of the cleaning mechanism, the adjustment assembly enables flexible adjustments to the angle and position of the cleaning equipment according to the actual needs of the production line. The adjustment assembly primarily consists of an adjustment dial and an adjustment rod. The adjustment dial, located on the side of the adjustment assembly, is the core operating component of the entire adjustment device. Made of high-strength material, it maintains excellent wear resistance even during frequent operation. The adjustment dial rotates about its axis, driving the movement of the adjustment rod to achieve precise positioning of the cleaning mechanism. The adjustment rod is mounted on the side of the turntable and has a threaded structure. The advantage of the threaded design is that the length of the adjustment rod can be changed by rotation, enabling more precise adjustments. Driven by the turntable, the adjustment rod can be adjusted horizontally or vertically, ensuring that the cleaning mechanism can be quickly adjusted to suit different mold specifications and production requirements. The flexibility of this component improves the efficiency of waste cleaning while reducing the need for manual intervention.

[0016] The moving component plays a dual role of movement and support in the cleaning mechanism, ensuring that the cleaning equipment can flexibly adjust its position. This component mainly includes a moving plate, a limiting hole and a connecting plate. The moving plate is installed on the mounting plate, and through a reasonable slide rail design, it can be horizontally moved or rotated under the action of the adjustment component. The limiting hole is opened on the side of the moving plate for inserting the limiting pin to ensure that the moving plate will not be offset by external forces after it is adjusted into place. The accuracy and position of the limiting hole have been scientifically calculated to ensure the reliability and stability of the equipment during movement. The connecting plate is installed on the side of the moving plate and is used to connect other auxiliary components, such as transmission rods or support mechanisms, to enhance the overall coordination of the equipment. The moving component is reasonably designed and can adjust its position at any time when the cleaning mechanism is working, preventing waste from accumulating or getting stuck during the cleaning process, further improving the flexibility and reliability of the entire waste cleaning system.

[0017] The drive assembly is a key power source for the cleaning mechanism, responsible for driving the cleaning and discharge of waste. This assembly comprises a drive motor, a drive rod, and a drive ring gear. The drive motor is mounted on the side of the cleaning mechanism and features a high-torque motor that provides stable and powerful power output. The drive rod is mounted on the front end of the motor, and its rotation drives the drive rod. The drive ring gear, mounted on the drive rod, adopts a spiral design and features two gears set in opposite directions. This design facilitates uniform extrusion and conveying of waste, preventing waste blockage caused by misaligned ring gears. In actual operation, after the drive motor is started, the drive rod rotates the ring gear, pushing the waste into the discharge channel to ensure rapid discharge. The bidirectional ring gear design also acts as a self-locking mechanism to prevent reverse flow of waste. The drive assembly features a compact structure and high power transmission efficiency, effectively improving the speed and efficiency of waste cleaning.

[0018] The extrusion assembly is a key component in the metal stamping die scrap cleaning mechanism. Its primary function is to compress and squeeze the scrap, reducing its volume and facilitating subsequent collection and discharge. This compact and rationally designed assembly, consisting of a mounting shaft, extrusion roller, connecting shaft, drive disc, and drive column, ensures efficient operation during the cleaning mechanism's operation.

[0019] The mounting shaft, located at one end of the extrusion assembly, serves as the foundational support for the entire extrusion mechanism. Made of high-strength alloy steel, the mounting shaft offers superior compression and wear resistance, ensuring stable operation under high loads. One end is secured to the cleaning mechanism via a flange or bearing seat, ensuring the entire extrusion assembly does not deflect or wobble during operation.

[0020] The extrusion roller, mounted on the mounting shaft, is one of the core components that actually performs the extrusion operation. Connected to the mounting shaft via a bushing, the extrusion roller is driven by the shaft to rotate. The roller's outer surface features a non-slip pattern or toothed structure, increasing friction during the extrusion process and ensuring smooth passage of the waste through the extrusion zone without slipping or accumulation.

[0021] The connecting shaft, mounted on the side of the extrusion roller, connects the roller to the drive disc. Made of wear-resistant material and possessing a certain degree of elasticity, the connecting shaft effectively cushions the impact forces generated during the extrusion process and reduces component wear. This flexible connection allows the drive disc to smoothly rotate the extrusion roller, ensuring a smooth extrusion action.

[0022] The drive disc, mounted on the side of the connecting shaft and a core component for transmitting power, is typically constructed of wear-resistant cast iron or steel. It is rotated by a motor or pneumatic device, driving the entire extrusion assembly to operate efficiently. To enhance extrusion stability, a circular array of drive posts is positioned on the side of the drive disc. These evenly spaced posts create a stable compression force field during rotation, ensuring even, non-slip rotation of the extrusion rollers.

[0023] As a crucial auxiliary component of the drive disc, the drive posts are typically made of high-strength materials capable of withstanding high torque. As the disc rotates, the posts are evenly distributed around the disc, forming a stable circular array. This structural design ensures uniform force on the waste during extrusion while preventing material jamming caused by insufficient extrusion or uneven force.

[0024] The collection box is a key component in the waste collection system for metal stamping dies, centrally storing waste. Its design directly impacts waste storage and subsequent cleaning efficiency. To ensure stable collection and prevent accumulation, the box features sliding grooves on its sides. The inner surfaces of these grooves are further designed with wear-resistant grooves with semicircular cross-sections. This structural design ensures orderly accumulation and movement of waste within the box, while preventing it from becoming stuck due to excessive friction during the cleaning process.

[0025] The sliding trough allows the waste in the collection box to slide smoothly into its designated position during accumulation, preventing blockages caused by uneven accumulation or complex waste shapes. The sliding trough also serves as a guide, directing the waste downward along a predetermined path, preventing excessive accumulation in the collection box and disrupting normal operation of the equipment.

[0026] The semicircular cross-section of the wear-resistant groove is designed primarily to reduce the friction coefficient of scrap sliding. Because metal scrap is typically very hard and exhibits high friction, ordinary flat grooves are prone to wear and accumulation of debris, making subsequent cleaning more difficult. The semicircular groove design effectively reduces the contact area between the scrap and the groove wall, enabling smoother sliding. Wear-resistant grooves constructed from high-strength, wear-resistant materials, such as alloy steel or ceramic coatings, significantly extend the life of the collection box while reducing maintenance costs associated with frictional losses.

[0027] This combined design of sliding groove and wear-resistant groove not only optimizes the fluidity of waste in the collection box, but also improves cleaning efficiency and structural durability. It is one of the indispensable innovative structures in the waste cleaning system.

[0028] A method for cleaning metal stamping die waste, which is used in conjunction with the above-mentioned metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism; characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: S1: The staff rotates the adjustment dial in the forward and reverse directions to drive the moving assembly to move, so that the moving plate is in the appropriate position and the distance between the two adjacent squeezing rollers is appropriate; S2: After the metal stamping die completes stamping, the stamping waste enters the cleaning mechanism through the through hole on the mounting frame. The driving motor drives the driving rod to rotate, and the driving ring gear cooperates with the driving column to drive the extrusion roller to extrude and reshape the stamping waste; S3: The extruded and reshaped stamping waste passes through the slot and enters the connecting pipe, and is moved to both sides by the sorting components; S4: After a certain amount of stamping waste has accumulated, the staff opens the bottom of the collection box and collects the stamping waste.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism of the present invention effectively improves the automation level of waste cleaning through structural optimization and modular design. Traditional stamping dies often rely on manual cleaning or simple conveyor belts for waste disposal, which has the problems of low efficiency, waste accumulation and large safety hazards. The present invention adopts a combination of a cleaning mechanism, a drive component and an extrusion component to automatically collect, extrude and sort the waste after the stamping operation is completed, thereby avoiding the impact of long-term waste accumulation on the normal operation of the die. The moving component and the adjustment component in the cleaning mechanism can flexibly adjust the spacing between the extrusion rollers to adapt to stamping waste of different sizes and shapes, ensuring the best extrusion effect. By adjusting the forward and reverse rotation of the turntable, the staff can quickly adjust the position of the waste cleaning mechanism, which improves the convenience of operation. At the same time, the drive component realizes the precise drive of the extrusion rollers through the efficient linkage of the drive motor and the drive ring gear, so that the waste can be fully extruded and reshaped after entering the cleaning area. In this way, even large waste can be quickly compressed, reducing the occupied space and preventing the blockage of pipes and collection boxes. This automated, modular waste cleaning method greatly reduces the number of manual interventions and frequent maintenance shutdowns, effectively improving the continuity and work efficiency of the production line.

[0030] (2) The present invention not only significantly improves the cleaning efficiency, but also shows good effects in waste management and equipment protection. After being squeezed, the waste enters the connecting pipe smoothly through the groove and moves in an orderly manner to both sides under the action of the sorting component, effectively preventing the waste from accumulating inside the pipe. This diversion and sorting design ensures that the waste can be arranged in a uniform state before entering the collection box, which is convenient for subsequent centralized cleaning and reduces the risk of pipe blockage caused by uneven accumulation of waste. The semicircular wear-resistant groove of the side sliding groove of the collection box can reduce the friction resistance of the waste when sliding, so that the waste can be moved smoothly to the designated position. The sliding block and wear-resistant ball in the sorting component cooperate with each other to further improve the orderliness and controllability of the waste arrangement. The design of the limit slider can also prevent the sliding block from moving excessively, ensuring that the entire sorting process is stable and reliable. Since metal stamping waste often has sharp edges and strong wear resistance, the use of wear-resistant materials can significantly extend the service life of the sorting component and the collection box, reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment. Through the rational design and efficient operation of this cleaning mechanism, stamping waste can be centrally processed in a relatively short period of time, reducing the potential safety hazards caused by waste accumulation beneath the die. Furthermore, the entire machine operates smoothly, with minimal wear and tear on components, further reducing maintenance frequency and operating costs, and extending the equipment's service life. Overall, this invention effectively enhances the scientific nature of waste management and the stability of equipment operation, possessing high practical value and promising prospects for widespread adoption.

[0033] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0034] like Figure 1-11 As shown, the present invention relates to a metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism 1, which has a reasonable structural design and can efficiently clean and collect stamping waste, reduce the risk of die blockage, and thus improve the continuity and stability of the stamping operation.

[0035] The waste cleaning mechanism 1 mainly includes seven parts: a cleaning mechanism 1, a driving component 2, an extrusion component 3, a connecting pipe 4, a collection box 5, a guide pipe 6 and a sorting component 7. The various parts cooperate with each other to effectively realize the automatic collection and discharge of waste.

[0036] The cleaning mechanism 1 is the core of the entire system, installed below the metal stamping die. It is primarily responsible for receiving and initially processing the waste generated during the stamping operation. During the stamping process, waste typically includes cut metal corners, punching waste, and stamping debris. After the stamping operation is completed, this waste quickly falls into the cleaning mechanism 1.

[0037] Drive assembly 2, mounted on the side of cleaning mechanism 1, provides a power source, making the cleaning process more efficient and reliable. Drive assembly 2 typically utilizes a motor or pneumatic drive, with flexible options available based on the production line's specific needs. When waste enters cleaning mechanism 1, drive assembly 2 immediately activates, driving extrusion assembly 3 to compress the waste, preventing accumulation that could affect subsequent discharge operations.

[0038] The extrusion assembly 3 is installed inside the cleaning mechanism 1. Its main function is to squeeze and compress the accumulated stamping waste, reducing the waste volume and facilitating subsequent collection and transportation. The extrusion assembly 3 can adopt a piston-type compression structure or a rotary compression structure to ensure that the waste is effectively compressed into a ball during the extrusion process, reducing the volume and facilitating collection.

[0039] After extrusion, the waste enters the collection box 5 through the connecting pipe 4. This pipe is installed below the cleaning mechanism 1 and is made of wear-resistant material to prevent wear on the pipe wall from metal particles that may be contained in the waste. The collection box 5 is installed at the lower end of the connecting pipe 4 and is primarily used for centralized storage of the waste. The collection box 5 is removable for easy regular emptying and maintenance.

[0040] While waste is being collected, it is also properly channeled into the collection box 5 via guide tube 6. Installed on the side of the collection box 5, guide tube 6 serves as a guide during waste discharge, preventing it from scattering and impacting the workshop environment. A sorting assembly 7, installed beneath the connecting pipe 4, organizes and organizes the waste under the guidance of guide tube 6, ensuring neat stacking and facilitating subsequent processing and transportation.

[0041] The cleaning mechanism 1 is the core structure of the metal stamping die waste cleaning system, primarily responsible for carrying and initially processing waste. The mechanism comprises a mounting frame 11, an adjustment assembly 12, and a movable assembly 13. The mounting frame 11, serving as the foundational structure of the entire cleaning mechanism 1, features strong stability and a high load-bearing capacity, firmly supporting the operation of the cleaning assembly. The mounting frame 11 is typically constructed of metal to ensure durability under prolonged, high-frequency operation. The adjustment assembly 12, mounted on the side of the mounting frame 11, is primarily used to adjust the spatial flexibility of the cleaning mechanism 1. The adjustment assembly 12 allows the position and angle of the cleaning mechanism 1 to be adjusted according to actual production needs, ensuring smooth entry of waste into the cleaning area. The movable assembly 13, mounted at one end of the adjustment assembly 12, is driven by the adjustment assembly 12 to move horizontally or vertically. This design effectively prevents waste accumulation within the cleaning mechanism 1, enhancing the smoothness and stability of waste cleaning. Through its rational structural layout, the entire cleaning mechanism 1 maintains stable operation even under high-intensity stamping operations, preventing waste clogging and equipment downtime.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting frame 11 is a key load-bearing component of the cleaning mechanism 1. Its rational structural design provides excellent support and stability during stamping operations. The mounting frame 11 includes a mounting plate 111, mounting holes 112, an adjustment slot 113, a limiting guide rod 114, a through slot 115, and a fixing plate 116. The mounting plate 111 is located on the side of the mounting frame 11 and is a key component for mounting and securing the cleaning mechanism 1. To enhance the frame's installation flexibility, the mounting plate 111 is provided with multiple mounting holes 112. The arrangement and size of the through holes have been scientifically calculated to facilitate quick fixing in different operating environments. The adjustment slot 113, located on the side of the mounting frame 11, accommodates the sliding adjustment of the adjustment assembly 12 within the frame, increasing the adaptability and flexibility of the device. The limiting guide rod 114 is mounted on the top of the mounting frame 11 and can accurately limit the position of the cleaning mechanism 1 to prevent displacement due to external forces. The through slot 115 is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 11 for the rapid discharge of waste, ensuring that waste can flow smoothly from the cleaning mechanism 1. The fixing plate 116 is installed on the top of the frame to play a reinforcing role, effectively improving the stability of the entire structure and ensuring that the cleaning operation is still reliable under high-frequency stamping.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment component 12 is an important auxiliary component of the cleaning mechanism 1, which can flexibly adjust the angle and position of the cleaning equipment according to the actual needs of the production line. The adjustment component 12 mainly includes an adjustment turntable 121 and an adjustment rod 122. The adjustment turntable 121 is arranged on the side of the adjustment component 12 and is the core operating component of the entire adjustment device. It is made of high-strength material and can maintain good wear resistance during frequent operation. The adjustment turntable 121 can rotate around its axis and drive the movement of the adjustment rod 122 through rotation to achieve precise positioning of the cleaning mechanism 1. The adjustment rod 122 is installed on the side of the turntable and has a threaded structure. The advantage of the threaded design is that the length of the adjustment rod 122 can be changed by rotation to achieve more detailed adjustment. The adjustment rod 122 can be adjusted horizontally or vertically under the drive of the turntable, ensuring that the cleaning mechanism 1 can be quickly adjusted to different mold specifications and production requirements. The flexibility of this component improves the efficiency of waste cleaning while reducing the necessity of manual intervention.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the moving component 13 plays a dual role of movement and support in the cleaning mechanism 1, ensuring that the cleaning equipment can flexibly adjust its position. The component mainly includes a moving plate 131, a limiting hole 132 and a connecting plate 133. The moving plate 131 is installed on the mounting plate 111, and through a reasonable slide rail design, it can be horizontally moved or rotated under the action of the adjustment component 12. The limiting hole 132 is opened on the side of the moving plate 131 for inserting the limiting pin to ensure that the moving plate 131 will not be offset due to external force after being adjusted into place. The accuracy and position of the limiting hole 132 have been scientifically calculated to ensure that the equipment has reliability and stability during the movement process. The connecting plate 133 is installed on the side of the moving plate 131 for connecting other auxiliary components, such as transmission rods or support mechanisms, to enhance the overall coordination of the equipment. The moving component 13 is reasonably designed and can adjust its position at any time when the cleaning mechanism 1 is working, preventing waste from accumulating or getting stuck during the cleaning process, and further improving the flexibility and reliability of the entire waste cleaning system.

[0045] like Figure 6As shown, the drive assembly 2 is an important power source for the cleaning mechanism 1 and is responsible for driving the cleaning and discharge of waste. The assembly includes a drive motor 21, a drive rod 22, and a drive ring gear 23. The drive motor 21 is installed on the side of the cleaning mechanism 1. A high-torque motor is selected to provide stable and powerful power output. The drive rod 22 is installed at the front end of the motor and is driven to rotate by the rotation of the motor. The drive ring gear 23 is installed on the drive rod 22 and adopts a spiral design with two gear structures set in opposite directions. This design helps to evenly squeeze and convey the waste and avoid waste blockage caused by misaligned ring gears. In actual operation, after the drive motor 21 is started, the drive rod 22 drives the ring gear to rotate, pushing the waste into the discharge channel to ensure rapid discharge of the waste. The bidirectional ring gear design also has a self-locking effect to prevent the waste from flowing in the opposite direction. The drive assembly 2 has a compact structure and high power transmission efficiency, which effectively improves the speed and efficiency of waste cleaning.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, the extrusion assembly 3 is a key component in the metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism 1. Its primary function is to compress and squeeze the waste, thereby reducing its volume and facilitating subsequent collection and discharge. This assembly is compact and rationally designed, consisting of a mounting shaft 31, an extrusion roller shaft 32, a connecting shaft 33, a drive disc 34, and a drive column 35, ensuring efficient operation during operation of the cleaning mechanism 1.

[0047] Mounting shaft 31 is located at one end of extrusion assembly 3 and serves as the foundational support for the entire extrusion mechanism. Made of high-strength alloy steel, mounting shaft 31 offers superior compression and wear resistance, ensuring stable operation under high loads for extended periods. One end of mounting shaft 31 is secured to cleaning mechanism 1 via a flange or bearing seat, ensuring that the entire extrusion assembly 3 does not deviate or wobble during operation.

[0048] The extrusion roller 32, mounted on the mounting shaft 31, is one of the core components that actually performs the extrusion operation. Connected to the mounting shaft 31 via a bushing, the extrusion roller 32 is driven by the mounting shaft 31 to rotate. The roller's outer surface features a non-slip pattern or toothed structure, increasing friction during the extrusion process and ensuring smooth passage of the waste material through the extrusion zone without slipping or accumulation.

[0049] Connecting shaft 33 is mounted on the side of the extrusion roller 32 and primarily connects the extrusion roller 32 to the drive disc 34. Made of wear-resistant material and possessing a certain degree of elasticity, connecting shaft 33 effectively cushions the impact forces generated during the extrusion process and reduces component wear. The flexible connection of connecting shaft 33 allows the drive disc 34 to smoothly rotate the extrusion roller 32, ensuring a smooth extrusion action.

[0050] The drive disc 34, mounted on the side of the connecting shaft 33 and serving as a core component for transmitting power, is typically made of wear-resistant cast iron or steel. Driven by the motor 21 or pneumatic device, the drive disc 34 rotates, driving the entire extrusion assembly 3 to operate efficiently. To enhance extrusion stability, a circular array of drive posts 35 is positioned on the side of the drive disc 34. These posts are evenly arranged, creating a stable compression force field during rotation, ensuring uniform and slip-free rotation of the extrusion roller 32.

[0051] The drive posts 35, a crucial auxiliary component of the drive disc 34, are typically made of high-strength material capable of withstanding high torque. As the drive disc 34 rotates, the drive posts 35 are evenly distributed around the disc, forming a stable annular array. This structural design ensures uniform force is applied to the waste during extrusion, while also preventing waste jamming caused by insufficient extrusion or uneven force.

[0052] like Figure 8-9 As shown, the collection box 5 is a key component for centralized waste storage in the metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism 1. Its design directly impacts waste storage and subsequent cleaning efficiency. To improve waste collection stability and prevent accumulation, the side of the collection box 5 is designed with a sliding groove 51. The inner side of the sliding groove 51 further includes a wear-resistant groove 52 with a semicircular cross-section. This structural design primarily ensures the orderly accumulation and movement of waste within the collection box 5, while preventing the waste from becoming stuck due to excessive friction during the cleaning process.

[0053] The provision of the sliding groove 51 allows the waste in the collection box 5 to slide smoothly into the designated position during the accumulation process, preventing blockage caused by uneven accumulation or complex waste shapes. The sliding groove 51 also serves as a guide, guiding the waste to flow downward along a predetermined trajectory, preventing the waste from accumulating too high in the collection box 5 and affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0054] like Figure 10 As shown, the finishing assembly 7 includes a finishing plate 71, a sliding block 72, a wear-resistant rolling ball 73 and a limiting slider 74; The finishing plate 71 is installed inside the collecting box 5 , the sliding block 72 is installed on the side of the finishing plate 71 , the wear-resistant balls 73 are installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the sliding block 72 , and the limiting slider 74 is installed on the side of the sliding block 72 .

[0055] The semicircular cross-section of the wear-resistant groove 52 is designed primarily to reduce the friction coefficient of the scrap material during sliding. Because metal scrap is typically quite hard and exhibits significant friction, conventional flat grooves are prone to wear and accumulation of debris, making subsequent cleaning more difficult. The semicircular design of the groove opening effectively reduces the contact area between the scrap material and the groove wall, enabling smoother sliding. By utilizing high-strength, wear-resistant materials such as alloy steel or ceramic coatings, the wear-resistant groove 52 significantly extends the service life of the collection box 5 while reducing maintenance costs associated with frictional losses.

[0056] The combined design of the sliding groove 51 and the wear-resistant groove 52 not only optimizes the fluidity of the waste in the collection box 5, but also improves the cleaning efficiency and structural durability. It is one of the indispensable innovative structures in the waste cleaning system.

[0057] like Figure 11 As shown, a metal stamping die waste cleaning method is used in conjunction with the above-mentioned metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism 1; the method is characterized in that the steps of the method are as follows: S1: The staff rotates the adjustment dial 121 in the forward and reverse directions to drive the moving assembly 13 to move, so that the moving plate 131 is in a suitable position and the distance between the two adjacent squeezing rollers 32 is appropriate; S2: After the metal stamping die completes stamping, the stamping waste enters the cleaning mechanism 1 through the through hole on the mounting frame 11. The driving motor 21 drives the driving rod 22 to rotate, and the driving ring gear 23 cooperates with the driving column 35 to drive the extrusion roller 32, so that it extrude and reshape the stamping waste; S3: The extruded and reshaped stamping waste passes through the slot 115 and enters the connecting pipe 4, and is moved to both sides by the sorting assembly 7; S4: After a certain amount of stamping waste has accumulated, the staff opens the bottom of the collection box 5 and collects the stamping waste.

[0058] During the working process of the present invention, during the operation of the metal stamping die waste cleaning mechanism 1, the staff first adjusts the position of the cleaning mechanism 1 by rotating the adjustment dial 121 in the forward and reverse directions. The rotation of the adjustment dial 121 will drive the moving assembly 13 to translate or rotate, so that the moving plate 131 moves to a suitable position on the mounting frame 11. The purpose of the adjustment is to ensure that the spacing between the two adjacent extrusion rollers 32 is moderate, so that when the waste is extruded, it can ensure that the waste is fully compressed and prevent the jamming caused by the small spacing. The positioning of the movable plate 131 can be precisely adjusted so that the extrusion assembly 3 can maintain a high cleaning efficiency and stability when processing waste of different sizes and shapes.

[0059] When the metal stamping die completes the stamping operation, the stamping waste automatically falls into the cleaning mechanism 1 through the through hole on the upper part of the mounting frame 11. These wastes usually include punching waste, scraps or other metal fragments. The drive motor 21 is then started, driving the drive rod 22 to rotate at high speed, and at the same time, the drive ring gear 23 starts to move under the action of the drive rod 22. The drive ring gear 23 is closely matched with the drive column 35, and drives the extrusion roller 32 to rotate synchronously through mutual engagement. At this time, the two adjacent extrusion rollers 32 rotate relative to each other, efficiently squeezing and reshaping the waste entering the cleaning mechanism 1. Due to the different shapes and materials of the waste, the extrusion roller 32 adopts a spiral pattern or toothed structure, which can not only enhance the ability to grasp the waste, but also prevent the waste from slipping or falling off between the rollers.

[0060] After being squeezed and reshaped, the stamping waste flows smoothly through the passage slot 115 below the squeezing assembly 3 and into the connecting pipe 4. The sorting assembly 7, under the action of the guide pipe 6, distributes and moves the reshaped waste in an orderly manner to both sides. This sorting method not only prevents excessive accumulation of waste in the pipe and causes blockage, but also keeps the waste neatly arranged, facilitating subsequent collection operations.

[0061] When a certain amount of stamping waste accumulates in the collection box 5, the staff can open the opening at the bottom of the collection box 5 to collect the sorted and compressed waste in a unified manner. The collection box 5 adopts a convenient opening and closing design, which can quickly unload the material, reducing operation time and manual intervention. After the waste is cleared, the staff can relock the collection box 5 to ensure that it can continue to be used normally during the next waste clearing. This efficient cleaning mechanism 1 not only greatly improves the efficiency of waste processing, but also effectively reduces the downtime of the production line and improves the continuity and stability of stamping production.
