[0021] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the processing requirements for the metal structure shell of vehicle cameras are becoming increasingly stringent, and the processing speed is also required to be faster. Currently, the main processes for manufacturing the metal structure shell of vehicle cameras include forging and punching. Forging and punching need to be carried out on forging presses and stamping presses respectively. Each operator needs to work on one machine, resulting in high labor intensity, low processing efficiency, and low safety.

[0022] To address this, embodiments of the present invention provide a stamping apparatus, method, and storage medium for a metal structural shell. After the product to be processed is fed by a feeding mechanism, defective products are removed by a screening device, and then the product to be processed is transferred to a forming mechanism for forging by a feeding robot. The forming mechanism can pre-process the product to be processed using a first forming device, and then perform finishing processing on the pre-processed product using a second forming device. The first and second forming devices can operate simultaneously, performing pre-processing and finishing processing on two different products at the same time, thereby improving forming efficiency. After forming, the pre-processed product to be processed is placed at the second forming device by a transfer and transport mechanism, and the finished product to be processed is placed at a conveyor device. The conveyor device then transports the finished product to the stamping mechanism, where a trimming device, a side punching device, and a punching device sequentially trim, side punch, and punch holes to finally form the desired metal structural shell. With this processing apparatus, the operator only needs to perform one feeding operation, and the processing apparatus can automatically carry out subsequent processes, thereby improving processing efficiency, reducing manual labor intensity, and increasing safety.

[0023] The stamping apparatus, method, and storage medium for the metal structure shell of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] On one hand, embodiments of the present invention propose a stamping device for a metal structural shell, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a feeding mechanism 100, a forming mechanism 200, a transfer and transport mechanism 300, and a stamping mechanism 400. The feeding mechanism 100 is used to feed the products to be processed, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 100 is equipped with a screening device 140 and a feeding robot 150. The screening device 140 is used to remove products whose size is not within a preset range. Figure 4 As shown, the molding mechanism 200 has a first molding device 210 and a second molding device 220 arranged at intervals. A loading robot 150 is used to place products to be processed within a preset size range at the first molding device 210, where the first molding device 210 performs pre-processing. The second molding device 220 is used to perform finishing processing on the pre-processed products. Figure 5 As shown, the transfer and transport mechanism 300 has a first transfer robot 310, a second transfer robot 320 and a conveying device. The first transfer robot 310 is used to transfer the pre-processed product to be processed to the second forming device 220, and the second transfer robot 320 is used to transfer the finished product to be processed to the conveying device. like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the stamping mechanism 400 includes a trimming device 410, a side punching device 420, a punching device 430, and a transfer device 440. The trimming device 410 is equipped with a flipping mechanism 411. The conveying device is used to transfer the finished product to the trimming device 410 for trimming. The flipping mechanism 411 is used to flip the trimmed product to a preset angle and transfer the flipped product to the side punching device 420 for side punching through the transfer device 440. The transfer device 440 is also used to transfer the side punched product to the punching device 430 for punching to obtain a metal structural shell.

[0025] Specifically, in this application, the feeding mechanism 100 automatically feeds the products to be processed, which refer to the raw materials required for the metal structural shell. During feeding, the feeding mechanism 100 uses a screening device 140 to detect the dimensions of the products to be processed, checking whether the length, width, and height of the products are within a preset range. If they are not within the preset range, the products are considered defective and need to be rejected to prevent the quality of the metal structural shells obtained in subsequent processing from failing to meet requirements. If, after inspection by the screening device 140, the dimensions of the products to be processed are found to be within the preset range and are considered good products, the feeding robot 150 can then pick up each product and transfer it to the forming mechanism 200 for forging.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the feeding mechanism 100 includes a feeding hopper 110, a vibratory feeder 120, a conveying track 130, a screening device 140, and a feeding robot 150. The vibratory feeder 120 is located below and communicates with the feeding hopper 110; the conveying track 130 is connected to the vibratory feeder 120; the screening device 140 is disposed on one side of the conveying track 130; and the feeding robot 150 is located above the conveying track 130. The screening device 140 includes components located on one side of the conveying track 130. The system includes a detection unit (not shown) and a first pushing unit 141, as well as a collection trough 142 located below the conveyor track 130; a feeding funnel 110 is used to place the products to be processed and to allow the products to be processed to enter the vibrating plate 120, the vibrating plate 120 is used to vibrate and arrange the products to be processed so that the products to be processed enter the conveyor track 130 in sequence, the detection unit is used to detect the size of the products to be processed on the conveyor track 130, and the first pushing unit 141 is used to push the products to be processed whose size is not within the preset range into the collection trough 142.

[0027] Specifically, when feeding products to be processed, a batch of products are placed in the feeding funnel 110. The products enter the vibratory feeder 120 along the feeding funnel 110. The vibratory feeder 120, through high-frequency vibration and a guiding structure, causes the products to enter the conveyor track 130 in an orderly manner and move forward along the conveyor track 130. When the products to be processed move to the detection position of the detection unit, the detection unit will detect the size of the products to be processed and determine whether the size of the products to be processed is within the preset range. If it is, the products to be processed can continue to move to the area below the loading robot 150, where the loading robot 150 will grab the products to be processed and move them to the forming mechanism 200. If the detection unit detects that the size of the products to be processed is not within the preset range, it indicates that the products to be processed are defective. The first pushing unit 141 will then push the products to be processed into the collection tank 142 to prevent defective products from entering subsequent processes. It should be noted that the detection unit can use a vision inspection system, photoelectric sensor, or laser scanning sensor to detect the size of the product to be tested. No specific device is limited in the detection unit used here. The first pushing unit 141 can be a cylinder, telescopic rod, or air blowing mechanism, used to move defective products away from the conveyor track 130 and into the collection tank 142.

[0028] like Figure 4As shown in some embodiments of this application, the forming mechanism 200 has a first forming device 210 and a second forming device 220 spaced apart. The first forming device 210 includes a first die 211 and a first punch 212 located above the first die 211. The first punch 212 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction. When the loading robot 150 picks up the product to be processed from the loading mechanism 100 onto the first die 211, the first punch 212 descends. Through the cooperation of the first die 211 and the first punch 212, the product to be processed is pre-processed, so that the product to be processed is forged into the required basic shape. It should be noted that since the final required metal structure shell is relatively complex, it is impossible to accurately form the required structure by forging alone. Therefore, this application uses the first forming device 210 to pre-process the product to be processed, first forming a rough shape, and then uses the second forming device 220 to finish the product to be processed, thereby accurately forming the required shape. The second forming device 220 includes a second concave die 221 and a second punch 222 located above the second concave die 221. The second punch 222 can be raised and lowered vertically. When the pre-processed product to be processed is transferred from the first concave die 211 to the second concave die 221, the second punch 222 descends. Through the cooperation of the second concave die 221 and the second punch 222, the product to be processed is precision-machined, so that the product to be processed is formed into the required accurate shape. It should be noted that the forging temperature of the first forming device 210 is higher than that of the second forming device 220. The forging temperature of the first forming device 210 reaches above the recrystallization temperature of the material to be processed, ensuring that the plasticity of the material is fully improved and the deformation resistance is reduced. The forging temperature of the second forming device 220 is controlled below the recrystallization temperature of the material to prevent excessive grain growth from affecting the mechanical properties and to ensure that the shape of the product to be processed is accurately shaped. It should be noted that two products to be processed can be placed at the first die 211 and the second die 221 at the same time, so that the first forming device 210 and the second forming device 220 can perform pre-processing and finishing on the two products to be processed at the same time, thereby improving the forging efficiency.

[0029] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the transfer and transportation mechanism 300 includes a first transfer robot 310, a second transfer robot 320, and a conveying device. The first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 are spaced apart on the first conveying assembly 330. The conveying device includes a second conveying assembly 340, a third transfer robot 350, a third conveying assembly 360, and a support platform 370. The second conveying assembly 340 is disposed opposite to the first conveying assembly 330, the third transfer robot 350 is disposed on the second conveying assembly 340, the third conveying assembly 360 is disposed between the first and second conveying assemblies 330, and the support platform 370 is disposed on the third conveying assembly 360, and the support platform 370 is located below the second transfer robot 320. The first conveying component 330 drives the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 to move in the left-right direction. When the first conveying component 330 drives the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 to move to the left, the first transfer robot 310 is positioned precisely at the first forming device 210, and the second transfer robot 320 is positioned precisely at the second forming device 220. At this time, the first transfer robot 310 can grasp the pre-processed product to be processed, and the second transfer robot 320 can grasp the finished product to be processed. Then, the first conveying component 330 drives the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 to move to the right. The first transfer robot 310 is positioned precisely at the second forming device 220, placing the pre-processed product to be processed at the second forming device 220 for subsequent finishing. Simultaneously, as the first conveying component 330 drives the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 to move to the right, the loading robot 150 picks up the next product to be pre-processed and places it at the first forming device 210. Then, the loading robot 150 moves to the left, and the first conveying component 330 drives the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 to continue moving to the right, allowing the first forming device 210 and the second forming device 220 to simultaneously form the products to be processed at their respective positions. When the first conveying component 330 drives the second transfer robot 320 to move to the right above the support platform 370, the second transfer robot 320 places the picked-up, finished product to be processed onto the support platform 370. At this time, the third conveying component 360 drives the carrier platform 370 to move to the right, so that the carrier platform 370 moves to the position of the third transfer robot 350, and the third transfer robot 350 grabs the product to be processed in the carrier platform 370. Then, the second conveying component 340 drives the third transfer robot 350 to move to the right, so that the third transfer robot 350 transfers the grabbed product to be processed to the stamping mechanism 400.

[0030] It should be noted that the first transmission component 330, the second transmission component 340 and the third transmission component 360 can all adopt an X-axis transmission mechanism, or a transmission mechanism composed of a lead screw, guide rail and other structures, or other common transmission mechanisms, without specific limitations here.

[0031] By setting up the transfer and transportation mechanism 300, the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 can simultaneously transfer the products to be processed after pre-processing and finishing. While the forming mechanism is performing the forming action, the second transfer robot 320 can transfer the finished products to the stamping mechanism 400 through the conveying device, thereby improving the production efficiency of the entire system.

[0032] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the trimming device 410 includes a trimming platform 412, a liftable trimming mold 414, a receiving platform 415, and a waste conveying platform 416. The trimming platform 412 is provided with a mounting groove 413, and the trimming mold 414 is located above the mounting groove 413. The receiving platform 415 is located below the mounting groove 413, and a second pushing unit (not shown) is provided on one side of the receiving platform 415. A flipping mechanism 411 is provided on the other side of the receiving platform 415. The waste conveying platform 416 is located on one side of the trimming platform 412 and is inclined downward. The trimming platform 412 is provided with an air blowing mechanism (not shown) with an air blowing port facing the waste conveying platform 416.

[0033] It should be noted that steps are provided in the first die 211 and the second die 221. These steps are used to allow the overflow generated when the forming mechanism 200 forms flash at the steps, which is convenient for subsequent removal. After finishing, the flash is located on the periphery of the finished product. The conveying device is used to place the finished product into the mounting groove 413. At this time, the main body of the product is located in the mounting groove 413, while the flash is located on the periphery of the mounting groove 413. Then, the trimming mold 414 descends to trim the product to be processed in the mounting slot 413, removing the flash. After removing the flash, the product to be processed falls into the receiving platform 415 through the mounting slot 413. When the second pushing unit detects that the product to be processed has entered the receiving platform 415, the second pushing unit pushes the product to be processed in the receiving platform 415 to the flipping mechanism 411, so that the flipping mechanism 411 can grab the trimmed product to be processed and flip it at a preset angle. The flash after trimming is located on the surface of the trimming platform 412. The flash is blown into the waste conveying platform 416 by the air blowing mechanism, so that the flash falls down along the waste conveying platform 416. It should be noted that the second pushing unit can detect whether the product to be processed has entered the receiving platform 415 by a detection sensor, and push the product to be processed to the flipping mechanism 411 by a cylinder, telescopic rod and other structures.

[0034] The flipping mechanism 411 employs an adjustable-angle rotating robotic arm, suction cups, or similar devices to grip the product to be processed, flipping it to the required angle for side punching. The transfer device then receives the flipped product and transfers it to the side punching device 420 for side punching. The side punching device 420 includes a side punching die, which performs side punching on the area of ​​the product to be processed where a negative angle is needed, achieving edge trimming or flanging. After side punching, the transfer device 440 transfers the product to the punching device 430 for punching, forming the required holes. The transfer device 440 can employ an X-axis conveyor mechanism or other conveyor mechanisms, with a robotic arm mounted on it to grip and transfer the product. The punching device 430 is equipped with a punching die for punching the product to obtain the final required metal shell structure.

[0035] like Figure 7As shown in some embodiments of this application, a sorting platform 417 is further provided between the edge trimming device 410 and the side punching device 420. The sorting platform 417 is inclined downwards. When the product to be processed does not require side punching and punching, the transfer device 440 receives the product to be processed from the flipping mechanism 411 and places it into the sorting platform 417. When the product to be processed requires side punching and punching, the transfer device 440 receives the product to be processed from the flipping mechanism 411 and transfers it to the side punching device 420 for side punching. By setting up the sorting platform 417, products to be processed with different needs are classified, so that products that do not require side punching and punching are collected through the sorting platform 417, while products that require side punching and punching are further subjected to subsequent side punching and punching processes.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the stamping apparatus for a metal structural shell includes a feeding mechanism 100 for feeding the product to be processed, a screening device 140 for removing defective products, and a feeding robot 150 for transferring the product to be processed to a forming mechanism 200 for forging. The forming mechanism 200 can pre-process the product to be processed using a first forming device 210 and then finish-process the pre-processed product using a second forming device 220. The first forming device 210 and the second forming device 220 can operate simultaneously, performing pre-processing and finishing on two different products at the same time, thereby improving forging efficiency. After forging, the pre-processed product to be processed can be placed at the second forming device 220 using a transfer and transport mechanism 300, and the finished product to be processed can be placed at a conveying device. The conveying device then transports the finished product to the stamping mechanism 400, where a trimming device 410, a side punching device 420, and a punching device 430 sequentially trim, side punch, and punch the finished product to finally form the desired metal structural shell. With this processing device, operators only need to load the material once, and the device can automatically carry out the subsequent process flow, thereby improving processing efficiency, reducing manual labor intensity, and increasing safety.

[0037] On the other hand, such as Figure 8 As shown, this application also proposes a stamping method for a metal structural shell, which includes, but is not limited to, steps S100-S900: Step S100: The product to be processed is fed by the feeding mechanism 100, and the product to be processed that is not within the preset size range is removed by the screening device 140; Specifically, in this application, the feeding mechanism 100 automatically feeds the products to be processed, which refer to the raw materials required for the metal structural shell. During feeding, the feeding mechanism 100 uses a screening device 140 to detect the dimensions of the products to be processed, checking whether the length, width, and height of the products are within a preset range. If they are not within the preset range, the products are considered defective and need to be rejected to prevent the quality of the metal structural shells obtained in subsequent processing from failing to meet requirements. If, after inspection by the screening device 140, the dimensions of the products to be processed are found to be within the preset range and are considered good products, the feeding robot 150 can then pick up each product and transfer it to the forming mechanism 200 for forging.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the feeding mechanism 100 includes a feeding hopper 110, a vibratory feeder 120, a conveying track 130, a screening device 140, and a feeding robot 150. The vibratory feeder 120 is located below and communicates with the feeding hopper 110; the conveying track 130 is connected to the vibratory feeder 120; the screening device 140 is disposed on one side of the conveying track 130; and the feeding robot 150 is located above the conveying track 130. The screening device 140 includes a detection unit (not shown) and a first pushing unit 141 located on one side of the conveying track 130, and a collection trough 142 located below the conveying track 130. Step S100 specifically includes the following four steps: Step S110: Place multiple products to be processed in the feeding funnel 110 and allow the products to enter the vibratory feeder 120; Step S120: The products to be processed are arranged by vibration of the vibratory plate 120, so that the products to be processed enter the conveyor track 130 in sequence; Step S130: The dimensions of the product to be processed on the conveyor track 130 are detected by the detection unit; Step S140: When the size of the product to be processed is not within the preset range, the product to be processed is pushed into the collection tank 142 by the first pushing unit 141.

[0039] Specifically, when loading products to be processed, a batch of products are placed in the loading funnel 110. The products enter the vibratory feeder 120 along the loading funnel 110. The vibratory feeder 120, through high-frequency vibration and a guiding structure, causes the products to enter the conveyor track 130 in an orderly manner and move forward along the conveyor track 130. When the products to be processed move to the detection position of the detection unit, the detection unit will detect the size of the products to be processed and determine whether the size of the products to be processed is within a preset range. If it is, the products to be processed can continue to move to the bottom of the loading robot 150. If the detection unit detects that the size of the products to be processed is not within the preset range, it means that the products to be processed are defective. The first pushing unit 141 pushes the products to be processed into the collection tank 142 to prevent defective products from entering subsequent processes. It should be noted that the detection unit can use a vision inspection system, photoelectric sensor, or laser scanning sensor to detect the size of the products to be tested. The specific device used by the detection unit is not limited here. The first pushing unit 141 can be a cylinder, telescopic rod or blowing mechanism, etc., used to make defective products leave the conveying track 130 and enter the collection tank 142.

[0040] Step S200: The first product to be processed, whose size is within the preset range, is placed at the first forming device 210 by the loading robot 150; Specifically, after being screened by the screening device 140, qualified products to be processed move along the conveyor track 130 to the area below the loading robot 150. After the loading robot 150 grabs the product to be processed, it moves the product to the first forming device 210 of the forming mechanism 200.

[0041] Step S300: The product to be processed is pre-processed by the first forming device 210; Specifically, when forming the first product to be processed, since there are no other pre-processed products to be processed, the second forming device 220 does not need to place any products to be processed; only the first forming device 210 needs to perform the forming action. For example... Figure 4As shown, in this example, the first forming device 210 includes a first die 211 and a first punch 212 located above the first die 211. The first punch 212 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction. When the loading robot 150 picks up the product to be processed from the loading mechanism 100 onto the first die 211, the first punch 212 descends. Through the cooperation of the first die 211 and the first punch 212, the product to be processed is pre-processed, so that the product to be processed forms the required basic shape. It should be noted that since the final required metal structure shell is relatively complex, it is impossible to accurately form the required structure by forging alone. Therefore, this application uses the first forming device 210 to pre-process the product to be processed, first forming a rough shape, and then uses the second forming device 220 to finish the product to be processed, thereby accurately forming the required shape.

[0042] Step S400: The pre-processed product to be processed is transferred to the second forming device 220 by the first transfer robot 310. At the same time, the next product to be processed with a size within the preset range is placed at the first forming device 210 by the loading robot 150. Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second forming device 220 includes a second die 221 and a second punch 222 located above the second die 221. The second punch 222 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction. When the pre-processed product to be processed is transferred from the first die 211 to the second die 221, the second punch 222 descends. Through the cooperation of the second die 221 and the second punch 222, the product to be processed is precision-machined, so that the product to be processed forms the required accurate shape. While the first transfer robot 310 transfers the pre-processed product to the second forming device 220, the loading robot 150 places the next product to be processed within the preset size range at the first forming device 210.

[0043] Step S500: The product to be processed placed at the first forming device 210 is pre-processed by the first forming device 210, and the product to be processed placed at the second forming device 220 is fine-processed by the second forming device 220. It should be noted that by placing two products to be processed at the first die 211 and the second die 221 at the same time, the first forming device 210 and the second forming device 220 can respectively perform pre-processing and finishing on the two products to be processed at the same time, thereby improving the forging efficiency.

[0044] Step S600: The finished product to be processed is transferred to the transfer transport mechanism 300 by the second transfer robot 320, and at the same time, the pre-processed product to be processed is transferred to the second forming device 220 by the first transfer robot 310. like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the transfer and transportation mechanism 300 includes a first transfer robot 310, a second transfer robot 320, and a conveying device. The first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 are spaced apart on the first conveying assembly 330. The conveying device includes a second conveying assembly 340, a third transfer robot 350, a third conveying assembly 360, and a carrying platform 370. The second conveying assembly 340 is positioned opposite to the first conveying assembly 330. The third transfer robot 350 is positioned on the second conveying assembly 340. The third conveying assembly 360 is positioned between the first and second conveying assemblies 330 and 340. The carrying platform 370 is positioned on the third conveying assembly 360 and is located below the second transfer robot 320. Step S600 specifically includes the following four steps: Step S610: The finished product to be processed is transferred to the carrier table 370 by the second transfer robot 320; Step S620: Drive the support platform 370 to move below the third transfer robot 350 via the third transfer component 360; Step S630: The third transfer robot 350 picks up the product to be processed from the carrier platform 370; Step S640: The third transfer robot 350 is driven by the second transfer component 340 to transfer the gripped product to the edge cutting device 410 for edge cutting.

[0045] The first conveying component 330 drives the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 to move in the left-right direction. When the first conveying component 330 drives the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 to move to the left, the first transfer robot 310 is positioned precisely at the first forming device 210, and the second transfer robot 320 is positioned precisely at the second forming device 220. At this time, the first transfer robot 310 can grasp the pre-processed product to be processed, and the second transfer robot 320 can grasp the finished product to be processed. Then, the first conveying component 330 drives the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 to move to the right. The first transfer robot 310 is positioned precisely at the second forming device 220, placing the pre-processed product to be processed at the second forming device 220 for subsequent finishing. Simultaneously, as the first conveying assembly 330 drives the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 to move to the right, the loading robot 150 picks up the next product to be pre-processed and places it at the first forming device 210. Then, the loading robot 150 moves to the left, and the first conveying assembly 330 drives the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 to continue moving to the right, allowing the first forming device 210 and the second forming device 220 to simultaneously forge the products at their respective positions. The first conveying assembly 330 continues to drive the second transfer robot 320 to move to the right to the support platform 370, placing the picked-up, finished product on the support platform 370, and then transferring the finished product to the conveying device. It should be noted that the first transmission component 330, the second transmission component 340 and the third transmission component 360 can all adopt an X-axis transmission mechanism, or a transmission mechanism composed of a lead screw, guide rail and other structures, or other common transmission mechanisms, without specific limitations here.

[0046] By setting up the transfer and transport mechanism 300, the first transfer robot 310 and the second transfer robot 320 can simultaneously transfer the products to be processed after pre-processing and finishing. While the forming mechanism is performing forging action, the finished products to be processed can be transferred to the stamping mechanism 400 by the second transfer robot 320 through the conveying device, thereby improving the production efficiency of the entire system.

[0047] Step S700: The finished product to be processed is transferred to the edge trimming device 410 for edge trimming via a conveying device.

[0048] Specifically, the finished product has burrs on its periphery. The trimming device 410 includes a trimming platform 412, a liftable trimming mold 414, a receiving platform 415, and a waste conveying platform 416. The trimming platform 412 is provided with a mounting groove 413, and the trimming mold 414 is located above the mounting groove 413. The receiving platform 415 is located below the mounting groove 413, and a second pushing unit (not shown) is provided on one side of the receiving platform 415. A flipping mechanism 411 is provided on the other side of the receiving platform 415. The waste conveying platform 416 is located on one side of the trimming platform 412 and is inclined downward. The trimming platform 412 is provided with an air blowing mechanism (not shown) with the air blowing port facing the waste conveying platform 416. Step S700 includes the following four sub-steps: Step S710: Drive the third transfer robot 350 through the second transfer component 340 to place the gripped product to be processed into the mounting slot 413, with the flash located on the periphery of the mounting slot 413; Step S720: The product to be processed in the mounting slot 413 is trimmed by the trimming die to remove the flash, and the trimmed product is then sent through the mounting slot 413 into the receiving platform. Step S730: The product to be processed in the receiving platform 415 is pushed to the underside of the flipping mechanism 411 by the second pushing unit, so that the flipping mechanism 411 grabs the product to be processed; Step S740: The flash is blown into the waste conveying platform 416 by the air blowing mechanism.

[0049] It should be noted that steps are provided in the first die 211 and the second die 221. These steps are used to allow the flash generated when the forming mechanism 200 forges the product to be processed to form a burr at the step, which is convenient for subsequent removal of the burr. After the product to be processed is finished, the burr is located on the periphery of the product to be processed. The conveying device is used to place the finished product to be processed into the mounting groove 413. At this time, the main body of the product to be processed is located in the mounting groove 413, while the burr is located exactly on the periphery of the mounting groove 413. Then, the trimming mold 414 descends to trim the product to be processed in the mounting slot 413, removing the flash. After removing the flash, the product to be processed falls into the receiving platform 415 through the mounting slot 413. When the second pushing unit detects that the product to be processed has entered the receiving platform 415, the second pushing unit pushes the product to be processed in the receiving platform 415 to the flipping mechanism 411, so that the flipping mechanism 411 can grab the trimmed product to be processed and flip it at a preset angle. The flash after trimming is located on the surface of the trimming platform 412. The flash is blown into the waste conveying platform 416 by the air blowing mechanism, so that the flash falls down along the waste conveying platform 416. It should be noted that the second pushing unit can detect whether the product to be processed has entered the receiving platform 415 by a detection sensor, and push the product to be processed to the flipping mechanism 411 by a cylinder, telescopic rod and other structures. The flipping mechanism 411 uses a rotating manipulator, suction cup and other devices that can adjust the angle, grabs the product to be processed and flips it to the angle required for side punching.

[0050] Step S800: The product to be processed after trimming is flipped by the flipping mechanism 411, and the flipped product to be processed is transferred to the side punching device 420 for side punching by the transfer device 440. Step S900: The side-punched product to be processed is transferred to the punching device 430 by the transfer device 440 for punching to obtain a metal structure shell.

[0051] Specifically, the transfer device 440 receives the flipped product to be processed and transfers it to the side punching device 420 for side punching. The side punching device 420 includes a side punching die and performs side punching on the area of ​​the product to be processed where a negative angle needs to be formed, achieving edge trimming or flanging processing. After side punching, the transfer device 440 transfers the product to be processed to the punching device 430 for punching to form the required holes. The transfer device 440 can employ an X-axis conveyor mechanism or other conveyor mechanisms, and a robotic arm is installed on the conveyor mechanism to grasp and transfer the product to be processed. The punching device 430 is equipped with a punching die for punching the product to obtain the final required metal shell structure.

[0052] like Figure 7As shown in some embodiments of this application, a sorting platform 417 is further provided between the edge trimming device 410 and the side punching device 420. The sorting platform 417 is inclined downwards. When the product to be processed does not require side punching and punching, the transfer device 440 receives the product to be processed from the flipping mechanism 411 and places it into the sorting platform 417. When the product to be processed requires side punching and punching, the transfer device 440 receives the product to be processed from the flipping mechanism 411 and transfers it to the side punching device 420 for side punching. By setting up the sorting platform 417, products to be processed with different needs are classified, so that products that do not require side punching and punching are collected through the sorting platform 417, while products that require side punching and punching are further subjected to subsequent side punching and punching processes.

[0053] According to the stamping method of the metal structure shell of the present invention, after the product to be processed is fed by the feeding mechanism 100, defective products can be removed by the screening device 140, and the product to be processed can be transferred to the forming mechanism 200 for forging by the feeding robot 150. The forming mechanism 200 can pre-process the product to be processed by the first forming device 210, and finish the pre-processed product to be processed by the second forming device 220. The first forming device 210 and the second forming device 220 can operate simultaneously to pre-process and finish two different products to be processed at the same time, thereby improving the forging efficiency. After forging, the pre-processed product to be processed can be placed at the second forming device 220 by the transfer and transport mechanism 300, and the finished product to be processed can be placed at the conveying device. The finished product to be processed is conveyed to the stamping mechanism 400 by the conveying device, and then the finished product to be processed is trimmed, side punched and punched by the trimming device 410, the side punching device 420 and the punching device 430 in sequence to finally form the required metal structure shell. With this processing device, operators only need to load the material once, and the device can automatically carry out the subsequent process flow, thereby improving processing efficiency, reducing manual labor intensity, and increasing safety.
