Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of forging tool design, and specifically relates to a fast-switchable dual-purpose clamping claw for a forging press, which can greatly improve forging efficiency, reduce labor intensity and lower production cost. Background Art
[0002] Forging manipulators are mainly used to clamp forgings and cooperate with the main machine to complete the forging process. They are important equipment for free forging. The jaws are the executive parts of the manipulator to clamp forgings. According to the size of the clamped object and the convenience of operation, they can be divided into clamps and crab claws. The clamps are mainly used to clamp ingots or forgings with a weight of more than 2 tons or an effective cross-sectional size greater than 400mm, and to achieve upsetting, drawing, blanking, rotation, turning and other actions, such as clamping ingots, rotors, rolls, modules and other large-sized forgings. However, they cannot be used to clamp forgings with relatively small cross-sections below 400mm, while crab claws mainly clamp small-sized forgings, effectively clamping forgings with a thickness or diameter below 400mm, such as breech square steel, gear rings, and round cake forgings, which are more convenient to operate.
[0003] In actual production, the production situation is more complicated, and there are many types of forging products. When one or several heating furnace forgings are produced, other types of forgings need to be produced, so the jaws must be replaced frequently. For example, the first furnace completes the forging of large-sized forgings above 400mm, and the forgings in the second furnace are gear rings and pancakes. The warm forgings in the third furnace are also large-sized forgings. In this way, the clamp must be disassembled before the crab claw clamp is installed. After forging small-sized forgings, the crab claw clamp must be disassembled and the clamp must be installed. It takes at least 30 minutes to disassemble and reinstall once. During the replacement of tooling, the products can only wait for materials in the heating furnace, which seriously affects production efficiency, increases the labor intensity of workers, and does not take advantage of the company's quality cost control. Utility Model Content

[0028] The clamping end of the main clamp arm of the manipulator is a forked structure, and the width center of the clamp arm end is processed to fork to form two clamp arm fingers ( Figure 2 ), there is an inner protrusion 6 between the two pliers arm fingers 4 and the pliers arm finger tips 5, and there is a Φ100mm pin hole in the center of the inner protrusion 6 of the two pliers arm fingers 4, and the manipulator main pliers arm 1 and the pliers jaw pad 2 of the pliers are connected to each other through the pin, and they play the role of pliers after being combined. A Φ100mm second pin hole 8 that penetrates the thickness of the main pliers arm is reserved on the same plane as the Φ100mm first pin hole 7 of the manipulator main pliers arm, and then connected to the pliers arm of the crab claw pliers.
[0029] The front view of the jaw pad of the clamp is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the front view of the long height surface is W-shaped. From the front view, it can be seen that two rectangular grooves 9 are processed on the long height surface to form three groove walls 10. The bottom of the two through rectangular grooves 9 has a groove 11. The center of the three groove walls has a through third pin hole 12 of Φ100mm. Figure 5 As shown, the appearance of the groove wall is triangular, and there is a through third pin hole 12 of Φ100mm in the center of the triangular area on the top of the groove wall; wherein the width of the two through rectangular grooves 9 matches the width of the two pliers arm fingers 4, and the inner protrusion 6 in the middle position between the two pliers arm fingers 4 and the pliers arm finger tips 5 is placed in the groove 11, which plays a role in positioning and rotation, and the Φ100mm third pin holes 12 of the three groove walls are the same size as the first pin holes 7 on the middle inner protrusion 6 of the two pliers arm fingers 4, and the center lines coincide and are on the same straight line, and they can be connected to each other by pins, and play the role of clamping after combination.
