Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation mechanism technology, and in particular to an automatic waste cleaning mechanism. [Background Technology]

[0002] The punch press equipment is equipped with a safety light curtain. The waste generated during the stamping process is automatically discharged into the foot pad groove of the machine through the mold. When the foot pad groove is full of waste, the machine needs to be stopped and manually pushed to the back of the machine with a pusher to clean it. When the pusher passes through the monitoring area of ​​the safety light curtain during cleaning, production will be suspended, resulting in low production efficiency. In addition, the waste is easily scattered inside the machine and on the ground when cleaning, which is not conducive to 7S management on site and affects the service life of the equipment.

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an automatic waste cleaning mechanism to solve the above problems. [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that waste generated during stamping automatically falls into the machine's foot groove through the mold. When the foot groove is full, the machine must be stopped and manually pushed back by a pusher to clean it. However, this process pauses production when the pusher passes through the safety light curtain monitoring area, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, the waste is easily scattered inside the machine and on the floor during cleaning, hindering 7S management and affecting equipment lifespan. Therefore, this invention provides an automatic waste cleaning mechanism to solve the above problems.

[0005] The solution to the technical problem of this invention is: an automatic waste cleaning mechanism, comprising:

[0006] The positioning bracket includes a fixing component and a supporting component. The fixing component is fixedly connected to the side of the machine foot pad groove away from the material collection frame. The fixing component has a fixing hole, and the supporting component passes through the fixing hole and is fixed to the fixing component.

[0007] The material tray is located in the foot pad groove of the machine. The end of the material tray near the collection frame is open to allow the waste material in the material tray to enter the collection frame. The end of the material tray near the collection frame is equipped with a buckle to connect the material tray to the push rod. The end of the material tray away from the collection frame is placed on the positioning bracket.

[0008] The driving component is fixed on the side of the machine base near the collection frame. The moving end of the driving component is fixedly connected to the connecting component. The connecting component is equipped with a push rod. The push rod is used to drive the material tray to move under the action of the driving component, so that the waste material in the material tray enters the collection frame.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning bracket includes, but is not limited to, a strong magnetic adsorption bracket, and the support member includes, but is not limited to, a metal material, which is used to adsorb and position the material tray.

[0010] Preferably, the height of the positioning bracket from the lowest surface of the machine is greater than the height of the drive component from the lowest surface of the machine, and the optimal tilt angle of its material tray is 30°.

[0011] Preferably, the drive component includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, a controller is provided at one end of the machine base. The cam signal of the punch press controls the switch of the controller. The controller includes, but is not limited to, a solenoid valve. The controller is used to control the movement of the drive component, so that when the punch press is punching down, the moving end of the drive component pushes the material support plate on the push rod to move, and when the punch press is starting up, the moving end of the drive component returns to its original position and drives the material support plate on the push rod to move, so that the waste material falling off the material support plate is gradually shaken downward and falls into the collection frame.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are that it employs an automatic waste cleaning mechanism. This mechanism features a material support tray within the machine's foot pad groove. The end of the tray near the collection frame is fixed to the drive unit via a push rod, while the end away from the collection frame is attached to a positioning bracket. The movement of the material support tray on the drive push rod is controlled by the moving end of the drive unit, causing the waste material falling onto the tray to be gradually shaken downwards and fall into the collection frame. This prevents waste material from scattering onto the machine and the ground, avoiding wear and tear on the equipment and 7S maintenance challenges. This mechanism saves downtime for waste cleaning and effectively improves production efficiency.

This mechanism employs a material support tray 120 located within the foot pad groove 141 of the machine base 140. The end of the material support tray 120 near the collection frame 150 is fixed to the drive component 130 via a push rod 132, while the end away from the collection frame 150 is attached to a positioning bracket 110. The moving end 131 of the drive component 130 controls the movement of the material support tray 120 on the drive push rod 132, causing the waste material falling onto the material support tray 120 to gradually shake downwards and fall into the collection frame 150. This prevents waste material from scattering onto the machine base 140 and the ground, avoiding wear and tear on the equipment and 7S maintenance challenges. This mechanism saves downtime for waste cleaning and effectively improves production efficiency.
