Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of maintenance of high-strength steel production equipment, and specifically relates to a punching device and a punch replacement tool which are convenient for replacing a punch. Background Art

[0002] High-strength steel is increasingly used in the automotive manufacturing industry. Using laser welders to weld high-strength steel is a necessary condition for ensuring the continuous operation of the unit. After strips of different thicknesses and steel grades are welded together, the parameters of the next process are inconsistent. This requires automatic identification of the head and tail positions of each roll of strip, so the small round holes punched by the punching die are the only source of information to distinguish different steel rolls to ensure the continuous production of the unit. As the strength of the product increases, the wear of the punching die increases. When there are burrs on the punched holes, the die must be replaced.

[0003] A punch is a metal part on a stamping die in a mechanical tool. It is also called a punch bar, a punch needle or a punch. It is installed on a stamping die to perform continuous blanking, punching and breaking operations, so that the processed material is separated or plastically deformed, thereby obtaining the required finished product or semi-finished product. The punch and the punch bar together constitute a punching assembly, which is connected to the power assembly of the punching machine and acts on the workpiece under the drive of the power assembly to achieve punching.

[0004] In order to solve the problem of poor adaptability of existing punch connectors, the patent document with application number 201820375268.7 discloses a punch connector with high interchangeability and a matching punch. The top of the connector is connected to the power output end of the punching machine, and a fixing part is provided at the bottom. The fixing part cooperates with the connecting punch, and the contact surface between the bottom of the connector and the top of the connecting punch is parallel to the horizontal plane; the fixing part includes a screw installed on the punch connector, and the screw is perpendicular to the contact surface.

[0005] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, since the high hardness of high-strength steel causes the punching die to wear faster, the replacement cycle is relatively frequent and the punch needs to be replaced. When replacing the punch, it is necessary to adjust multiple screws fixed on the punch connector in sequence until the screws no longer fix the connected punch, and then replace the punch. When installing the punch, it is also necessary to adjust multiple screws in sequence until the connected punch is fixed. The entire replacement process takes a long time and is inefficient. For this reason, an improved punching device and a punch replacement tool that are convenient for replacing the punch are designed. Utility Model Content
