Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hardware processing, and more particularly to an intelligent processing equipment for hardware products. Background Technology

[0002] After the stamping process is completed, round hardware parts often have several irregular excess areas along their edges. These excess areas affect the user experience, so a stamping trimming machine is needed to trim and stamp these excess areas one by one. Since the round hardware parts have been stamped into a raised three-dimensional structure, it is difficult to use mechanical equipment for precise positioning. Therefore, it cannot replace manual loading and unloading. Operators need to place and align the round hardware parts one by one on the support mold of the stamping trimming machine, which will affect the efficiency of the trimming and stamping process. Manual loading and unloading of round hardware parts on the stamping trimming machine also poses a risk of hand injury due to improper operation, resulting in poor safety of the stamping trimming machine. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology that cannot use mechanical equipment to replace manual labor in the loading and unloading of metal round parts on stamping and trimming machines, the present invention provides an intelligent processing equipment for hardware products.

[0004] The technical implementation scheme of the present invention: An intelligent processing equipment for hardware products includes a mounting bracket, a lifting column, a lifting screw, a motor, an electric sliding plate, a C-shaped support platform, an air supply pipe, air jets, a hydraulic lift, a pressure block, a collecting cylinder, and an annular punch. The lifting column is slidably connected to the mounting bracket. The lifting screw, which drives the lifting column to move up and down, is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket. A motor, which drives the lifting screw to rotate, is mounted on the mounting bracket. An electric sliding plate is slidably connected to the left and right sides of the mounting bracket. A C-shaped support platform is fixedly connected to each of the two electric sliding plates facing each other. A C-shaped punch groove structure is formed on the C-shaped support platform. An air supply pipe is fixedly connected inside the C-shaped support platform. Several upward-penetrating air jets are connected to the air supply pipe. A hydraulic lift is mounted on the mounting bracket. A pressure block is fixedly connected between the telescopic ends of the hydraulic lift. A collecting cylinder is fixedly connected to the pressure block. An annular punch is fixedly connected to the collecting cylinder.

[0005] Furthermore, the inner side of the C-shaped support platform is provided with a C-shaped wedge structure.

[0006] Furthermore, several reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected between the annular punch and the collecting cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, a cutting blade is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the annular punch; a cutting groove structure is opened on the front side of the two C-shaped support platforms facing each other; a cutting groove structure is also opened on the rear side of the two C-shaped support platforms facing each other.

[0008] Furthermore, the jet head on the gas pipeline is designed to be inclined toward the side away from the C-shaped cut-out groove structure.

[0009] Furthermore, a piston plate is slidably connected inside the collecting cylinder; an electric push rod is installed on the collecting cylinder to drive the piston plate to move up and down.

[0010] Furthermore, a rubber ring is fixed to the inner wall of the collection cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, each electric skateboard has a sloping structure that tilts downwards toward the side away from the C-shaped support platform.

[0012] Furthermore, two waste bins are placed on the mounting bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, an electric heating plate is installed on the C-shaped support platform to heat the edge structure of the round hardware parts.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention: The intelligent processing equipment for hardware products of this invention stacks round hardware parts on a lifting column. The lifting screw, together with two C-shaped support platforms, positions and supports the edge structure of each round hardware part. Then, the annular punch on the collection cylinder performs edge punching on the edge structure of the round hardware parts. At the same time, two cutters cut the punched edge waste into two halves. The edge waste is blown away from the C-shaped support platforms by an air jet. The round hardware parts with completed edge punching are stacked and collected into the collection cylinder one by one. No manual loading and unloading is required. Finally, all the round hardware parts collected in the collection cylinder are pushed out at once by the piston plate.

[0015] The present invention provides an intelligent processing equipment for hardware products, which not only solves the technical problem that existing technologies cannot use mechanical equipment to replace manual labor in the loading and unloading of hardware round parts on stamping and trimming machines, but also realizes the integration of the two steps of edge punching and stacking of hardware round parts into one, eliminating the need for additional equipment for subsequent conveying of edged hardware round parts and saving conveying time. It also eliminates the need for additional calibration and alignment during the stacking and collection process of hardware round parts, thereby improving the overall processing efficiency of hardware round parts.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions herein are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Example 1: A smart processing equipment for hardware products, such as... Figures 1-7As shown, the structure includes a mounting bracket 1, a lifting column 2, a lifting screw 21, a motor 22, an electric sliding plate 31, a C-shaped support platform 32, an air supply pipe 33, a jet nozzle 331, a hydraulic lift 41, a pressurizing block 42, a collecting cylinder 43, an annular punch 44, and reinforcing ribs 441. The lifting column 2 is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 1. The lifting screw 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 1. The lifting screw 21 is screwed to the lifting column 2 via its threaded structure. The motor 22 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1. The output shaft of the motor 22 is fixedly connected to the lifting screw 21. An electric sliding plate 31 is slidably connected to the left and right sides of the mounting bracket 1. A C-shaped support platform 32 is fixedly connected to the opposing sides of the two electric sliding plates 31, and the two C-shaped support platforms 32 initially form a complete annular support structure. Each of the two C-shaped support platforms 32 has a C-shaped punched groove structure. 3201, two C-shaped punching groove structures 3201 initially together form a complete annular punching groove structure; each of the inner sides of the two C-shaped support platforms 32 is provided with a C-shaped wedge structure 3203; each of the two C-shaped support platforms 32 is fixedly connected to an air supply pipe 33, which is connected to a pressurized air supply device; each of the two air supply pipes 33 is connected to several upward-penetrating jet heads 331; four hydraulic lifts 41 are installed on the mounting bracket 1; a pressure block 42 is fixedly connected between the telescopic ends of the four hydraulic lifts 41; a collecting cylinder 43 is fixedly connected to the pressure block 42; an annular punch 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collecting cylinder 43, and the annular punch 44 is initially aligned with the top of the annular punching groove structure; several reinforcing ribs 441 are fixedly connected between the annular punch 44 and the collecting cylinder 43, and the reinforcing ribs 441 can enhance the structural strength of the side edge of the annular punch 44.

[0027] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a cutter 45 is fixed to the front and rear sides of the annular punch 44; a cutting groove structure 3202 is opened on the front side of the two C-shaped support platforms 32 facing each other; a cutting groove structure 3202 is also opened on the rear side of the two C-shaped support platforms 32 facing each other; the jet head 331 on the two air pipes 33 is set as an inclined structure facing away from the C-shaped punching groove structure 3201.

[0028] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a piston plate 46 is slidably connected inside the collection cylinder 43; two electric push rods 47 are installed on the collection cylinder 43; the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods 47 are fixedly connected to the piston plate 46; and a rubber ring 48 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection cylinder 43.

[0029] The working steps of an intelligent processing equipment for hardware products are as follows:

[0030] First, two electric sliding plates 31 drive two C-shaped support platforms 32 to move away from each other. Workers stack the metal round parts 6 onto the lifting column 2. The motor 22 drives the lifting screw 21 to rotate, which in turn lifts the stacked metal round parts 6 one by one until they are flush with the upper surfaces of the two C-shaped support platforms 32. Whenever the edge of a metal round part 6 is lifted to be flush with the upper surfaces of the two C-shaped support platforms 32, the two electric sliding plates 31 drive the two C-shaped support platforms 32 to move closer together until a complete ring support structure is formed, allowing the top layer of metal round parts to... The lower surface of the edge structure of 6 is closely attached to the complete annular support structure. The two C-shaped punched groove structures 3201 form a complete annular punched groove structure. When the distance between the edge structures of two adjacent hardware round parts 6 is small, the two C-shaped support platforms 32 that are close to each other are inserted between the edge structures of the two adjacent hardware round parts 6 through the C-shaped wedge structure 3203, so that the edge structure of the first hardware round part 6 on the upper layer can be smoothly separated from the edge structure of the next layer hardware round part 6, so that the edge structure of the hardware round part 6 can be smoothly supported by the two C-shaped support platforms 32, and the automatic feeding of the hardware round part 6 can be completed.

[0031] Whenever the edge structure of a metal round part 6 is supported by two C-shaped support platforms 32, the hydraulic lift 41 drives the pressure block 42 and its connected collection cylinder 43, annular punch 44 and cutter 45 to move downward. The annular punch 44 punches through the edge structure of the metal round part 6 and cuts into the annular punching groove structure between the two C-shaped support platforms 32, so that the excess edge structure of the metal round part 6 is punched by the annular punch 44 to obtain annular edge waste. At the same time, the front and rear cutters 45 punch through the front and rear sides of the edge waste and cut into the cutting groove structure 3202 on the same side. The front and rear cutters 45 punch the edge waste into two symmetrical semi-annular edge wastes, completing the edge punching process of the metal round part 6.

[0032] Each time the edge-punching process of a metal round part 6 is completed, the metal round part 6 is inserted into the collection cylinder 43. The remaining edge structure of the metal round part 6 is in close contact with the rubber ring 48 on the inner wall of the collection cylinder 43. Then, the hydraulic lift 41 drives the pressure block 42 and its connected collection cylinder 43, annular punch 44 and cutter 45 to rise and leave the C-shaped support platform 32. At the same time, the pressurized airflow conveying equipment delivers pressurized airflow into the air supply pipe 33. The pressurized airflow is ejected obliquely upward from the jet head 331. The ejected pressurized airflow pushes the edge waste material to tilt and fly away from the electric slide plate 31. At the same time, the electric push rod 47 pulls the piston plate 46 to perform suction work upward in the collection cylinder 43. At this time, because the edge of the metal round part 6 is in close contact with the rubber ring 48 on the inner wall of the collection cylinder 43, the edge of the metal round part 6 is in close contact with the rubber ring 48 on the inner wall of the collection cylinder 43. The rubber ring 48 fits tightly to form a seal. When the piston plate 46 moves upward to suck, a negative pressure is formed below it. The metal round parts 6 are pushed upward under the pressure difference between the atmospheric pressure below and the negative pressure above. After the edge-punching process of each metal round part 6 is completed, the electric push rod 47 pulls the piston plate 46 up to a preset height, so that the edge-punched metal round parts 6 can be stacked and collected in the collection cylinder 43. After the edge-punching process and suction collection process of the last metal round part 6 on the lifting column 2 are completed, the electric push rod 47 pushes the piston plate 46 to move downward along the collection cylinder 43, so that the piston plate 46 can push all the metal round parts 6 in the collection cylinder 43 downward at once, completing the automatic unloading of the metal round parts 6.

[0033] In addition, a negative pressure suction machine can be connected to the collection cylinder 43. The suction port of the negative pressure suction machine is aligned with the bottom of the piston plate 46. When the weight of the metal round part 6 is relatively heavy, the negative pressure suction machine generates a negative pressure suction force from below the suction port in the collection cylinder 43 to suck the metal round part 6. Combined with the upward thrust of the external atmospheric pressure, it can ensure that the metal round part 6 is kept in a stacked state and collected in the collection cylinder 43.

[0034] Compared to existing equipment that first performs edge-punching on the metal round parts 6 and then stacks and collects them, the intelligent processing equipment for hardware products of this invention combines the edge-punching and stacking / collecting of the metal round parts 6 into a single step. This not only eliminates the need for additional equipment and time spent transferring the metal round parts 6 after edge-punching, but also allows for precise stacking and collection of the metal round parts 6 immediately after edge-punching, since the axis of the annular punch 44 used for edge-punching is aligned with the axis of the collecting cylinder 43 used for stacking and collecting. This eliminates the need for additional calibration and alignment processing for stacking and collecting the metal round parts 6, thus improving the overall processing efficiency of the metal round parts 6.

[0035] Example 2, as Figures 1-7As shown, in this embodiment, based on the above embodiment 1, each of the two electric slide plates 31 is provided with a downward inclined structure 3101 that slopes downward toward the side away from the C-shaped support platform 32; a waste bin 5 is placed on the left and right sides of the mounting bracket 1, aligned with the bottom of the electric slide plate 31 on the same side; after the pressurized airflow ejected from the jet head 331 tilts and blows the edge waste that has completed the edge-punching process off the C-shaped support platform 32, the edge waste tilts and flies away from the electric slide plate 31 and falls downward into the waste bin 5 on the same side. Even if the edge waste does not tilt and fly away far enough and falls downward onto the electric slide plate 31, the edge waste will also fall downward along the inclined structure 3101 of the electric slide plate 31 into the waste bin 5 on the same side, thus realizing the collection of edge waste.

[0036] Example 3, as Figures 1-7 As shown, in this embodiment, based on the above embodiment 2, each of the two C-shaped support platforms 32 is equipped with an electric heating plate 34. When the two C-shaped support platforms 32 jointly lift the edge structure of the metal round piece 6, the electric heating plate 34 heats the edge structure of the metal round piece 6, heating it to a state of thermal expansion. This allows the edge structure of the metal round piece 6 to expand and make closer contact with the rubber ring 48 on the inner wall of the collecting cylinder 43. When the piston plate 46 is pulled in and out of the collecting cylinder 43, outside air cannot pass through the gap between the edge structure of the metal round piece 6 and the rubber ring 48 to enter the collecting cylinder 43. Outside air can more smoothly push the metal round piece 6 upward along the rubber ring 48 on the inner wall of the collecting cylinder 43.

[0037] It should be understood that this embodiment is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
