Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of powder metallurgy, specifically to a powder molding device for processing quick-connect pipe fitting metal parts. Background Technology

[0002] Pipe fittings are devices used for pipe connections. Pipe fitting powder metallurgy molding devices are special equipment designed for powder metallurgy processes. They are used to press metal powder into pipe fitting blanks through molds. The core of the device consists of a mold system (including upper mold, lower mold, and concave mold), a pressurizing mechanism, a powder feeding assembly, and a demolding device.

[0003] During use, metal powder is quantitatively filled into the mold cavity. The pressurizing mechanism applies a preset pressure through hydraulic or mechanical transmission, causing the powder to densify and form a pipe joint blank with a certain shape and strength. Finally, the blank is removed by the demolding mechanism and then processed into a sintering device. In existing metal powder feeding operations, a box with an opening at the bottom is used. The box is filled with metal powder. When the metal powder feeding box reaches the forming cavity of the lower mold, the powder fills the forming cavity, and the upper mold presses down to complete the forming. Because there is a certain gap between the metal powder feeding box and the table, a large amount of metal powder will be scattered and accumulated on the table during powder feeding, which wastes costs and is inconvenient to clean. Moreover, when the powder fills the forming cavity naturally, the uniformity of powder distribution varies greatly, resulting in differences in the quality of the formed blank. Summary of the Invention

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clear and complete, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention, and are merely illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit 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.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-10 The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0033] Example 1: A powder molding device for processing quick-connect pipe fitting metal parts includes a pipe fitting molding platform 1, a lower mold forming cavity 2 on the pipe fitting molding platform 1, and a powder feeding box 3 horizontally above the lower mold forming cavity 2. The powder feeding box 3 is movably mounted on the pipe fitting molding platform 1 via a sliding assembly. The sliding assembly includes two slide rails 4 and two slide blocks 5. The two slide rails 4 are horizontally mounted above the pipe fitting molding platform 1 and are located on both sides of the lower mold forming cavity 2. The two slide blocks 5 are horizontally mounted on the lower ends of both sides of the powder feeding box 3, and the two slide blocks 5 are slidably sleeved on the two slide rails 4. An upper mold is mounted above the pipe fitting molding platform 1 via a mold guide post. The upper mold is correspondingly mounted to the lower mold forming cavity 2. The powder feeding box 3 can move horizontally above the pipe fitting molding platform 1 via the slide rails 4 and slide blocks 5. When the upper mold is raised, the powder feeding box 3 can be positioned above the lower mold forming cavity 2 to fill with metal powder.

[0034] A quantitative feeding assembly is installed to quantitatively fill the metal powder in the lower mold forming cavity 2. The quantitative feeding assembly is located inside the powder feeding box 3 and includes a temporary storage box 7, a connecting sleeve 8, a quantitative tube 9, and a central rod 12. The quantitative tube 9 and the central rod 12 are both inserted into the connecting sleeve 8. The lower end of the quantitative tube 9 has a conical feeding port 10, and the diameter of the lower end of the conical feeding port 10 is smaller than the diameter of the lower mold forming cavity 2. A horizontal partition mounting plate 6 is installed inside the powder feeding box 3. The temporary storage box 7 is located at the upper center of the partition mounting plate 6. The lower end of the temporary storage box 7 has a combination hole that penetrates the center of the partition mounting plate 6. The connecting sleeve 8 is inserted into the combination hole through a flange and bolts. The diameter of the connecting sleeve 8 is the same as the diameter of the connecting hole. The upper end of the metering tube 9 is inserted into the lower end of the connecting sleeve 8. The outer circumference of the metering tube 9 is in contact with the inner circumference of the connecting sleeve 8. The lower end diameter of the conical discharge port 10 is smaller than the upper end diameter. The lower end of the metering tube 9 is vertically provided with a contact sleeve 16. The lower end of the contact sleeve 16 is in contact with the upper end of the pipe joint molding table 1. The diameter of the contact sleeve 16 is larger than the diameter of the lower mold forming cavity 2. The powder feeding box 3 is connected to the temporary storage box 7 above and a powder conveying pipe is provided. The powder in the temporary storage box 7 can fall into the metering tube 9 through the connecting sleeve 8, and then fall accurately into the lower mold forming cavity 2 under the converging action of the conical discharge port 10.

[0035] The flange of the sleeve 8 is provided with several vertically arranged spring guide rods 18 at its lower end. The outer periphery of the metering tube 9 is provided with a horizontally arranged lifting connecting plate 17. The lower end of the spring guide rod 18 is movably inserted through the lifting connecting plate 17 through a constraint block. The upper end of the spring guide rod 18 is provided with a horizontally arranged circular plate. A downward pressure spring 19 is sleeved between the spring guide rod 18 and the circular plate and the lifting connecting plate 17. The upper end of the partition mounting plate 6 is provided with several vibration modules 26. The vibration modules 26 can avoid the phenomenon of metal powder sticking to the wall. At the same time, the metering tube 9 can be elastically pressed down on the lifting connecting plate 17 by the downward pressure spring 19, so that the contact sleeve 16 below the metering tube 9 contacts the upper end of the pipe joint molding table 1. When the conical discharge port 10 corresponds to the lower mold forming cavity 2, the contact sleeve 16, in conjunction with the vibration of the vibration module 26, can make the metal powder in the lower mold forming cavity 2 vibrate evenly and avoid large differences in the gaps between powders.

[0036] A support frame 11 is horizontally installed at the upper end of the sleeve 8. A central rod 12 is vertically installed at the lower center of the support frame 11, and the lower end of the central rod 12 is vertically inserted into the center of the metering tube 9. A second central block 15 and a first central block 13 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the central rod 12 inserted into the metering tube 9. The upper and lower ends of the first central block 13 are provided with a first conical surface, and the first conical surface at the lower end of the first central block 13 corresponds to the inner side of the conical discharge port 10. The upper end of the second central block 15 is provided with a second conical surface. A sealing ring 14 is provided at the upper end of the metering tube 9. The upper and lower ends of the sealing ring 14 are provided with a third inclined surface. When the third inclined surface at the lower end of the sealing ring 14 is aligned with the second central block 15, the sealing ring 15 is positioned with a second conical surface. When the second inclined surface of the core block 15 is in contact with the first conical surface of the first center block 13, the inner side of the conical discharge port 10 is far away from the first conical surface of the lower end of the first center block 13. When the metering tube 9 is raised, the inner side of the conical discharge port 10 abuts and seals against the first conical surface of the lower end of the first center block 13. At the same time, the sealing ring 14 is misaligned with the center rod 12. The metal powder in the temporary storage box 7 falls from the connecting sleeve 8 into the metering tube 9. When the metering tube 9 descends through the downward spring 19 and contacts the sleeve 16 and the upper end of the pipe joint molding table 1, the sealing ring 14 and the center rod 12 combine and seal. The metered metal powder in the metering tube 9 falls from the gap between the conical discharge port 10 and the first center block 13 into the lower mold forming cavity 2.

[0037] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a switching control component is set to control the up-and-down movement of the quantitative tube 9. The switching control component is located in two slides 5 and includes two lifting control plates 21. The two lifting control plates 21 are respectively connected to both sides of the quantitative tube 9. Each slide 5 has a horizontally opened movable plate groove 20. One side of the movable plate groove 20 is connected to the powder feeding box 3. The lifting control plate 21 is horizontally inserted into the movable plate groove 20 through a guide rod. The lifting connecting plate 17 is horizontally provided with a combined connecting sleeve 24 on the side near the lifting control plate 21. The center of the lifting control plate 21 is horizontally inserted through a threaded synchronous connecting rod 25. One side of the synchronous connecting rod 25 passes through the lifting control plate 21 and is inserted into the combined connecting sleeve 24. The lifting control plate 21 can move up and down along the guide rod in the movable plate groove 20. When the lifting control plate 21 moves, it can drive the lifting connecting plate 17 and the quantitative tube 9 to move up and down synchronously through the synchronous connecting rod 25.

[0038] The upper end of each slide rail 4 is provided with a positioning groove 22. Both sides of the positioning groove 22 are inclined surfaces. The slide block 5 is connected to the slide rail 4 on one side, and the movable plate groove 20 is provided with a strip groove. The lifting control plate 21 is located on one side of the strip groove and has a sliding roller 23. The positioning groove 22 and the lower mold forming cavity 2 are on the same plane. The metering tube 9 and the sliding roller 23 are on the same plane. When the sliding roller 23 is located in the center of the positioning groove 22, the metering tube 9 is located directly above the lower mold forming cavity 2. When the sliding roller 23 is in the position of the positioning groove 22, the lifting... The connecting plate 17 descends under the action of the downward spring 19. At this time, the lifting connecting plate 17, the lifting control plate 21, and the sliding roller 23 descend simultaneously. At this time, the contact sleeve 16 contacts the pipe joint molding table 1, and the conical discharge port 10 corresponds to the lower mold forming cavity 2. When the powder feeding box 3 moves away from the lower mold forming cavity 2, the sliding roller 23 rolls out from the positioning groove 22. As the sliding roller 23 contacts the upper end of the slide rail 4, the sliding roller 23 pushes the lifting control plate 21, the lifting connecting plate 17, and the metering tube 9 to rise, thereby realizing the vertical metering of metal powder by the metering tube 9.

[0039] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
