Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of stamping and forming technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism of an automatic stamping and forming machine. Background Art

[0002] Stamping refers to a processing and forming method in which a press and a die are used to apply external force to plates, strips, pipes and profiles to cause them to undergo plastic deformation or separation, thereby obtaining a workpiece (stamping part) of the desired shape and size. The blanks for stamping are mainly hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel plates and strips. During the hot stamping and bending of the steel strips, the material is continuously fed through the steel strip coil. During processing, it is necessary to place it on the stamping mechanism and the bending mechanism in steps, first stamping and then bending. The transmission of the steel strip needs to be stopped during both stamping and bending. The continuous feeding method cannot meet the working requirements of the automatic stamping and bending machine, and it is easy to cause the accumulation of steel strips, affecting the quality of the resulting forming. Then the traditional manual feeding and stamping method requires a lot of labor and is time-consuming and laborious.

[0003] Chinese patent CN118321438A discloses an automatic stamping and bending forming machine, wherein the feeding mechanism comprises a material guide, a feeding mechanism, and a pressing mechanism sequentially mounted on a mounting plate, the feeding mechanism and the pressing mechanism being driven by a driving mechanism on the back of the mounting plate; the material guide comprises upper and lower rollers and side rollers; the feeding mechanism comprises a base and a clamping feeding block, with limit blocks mounted at both ends of the base; the pressing mechanism comprises a pressing table and a pressing rod; the driving mechanism comprises a sun gear driven by a motor and a motor output shaft, the sun gear driving a plurality of satellite gears around the sun gear, which rotate coaxially with the feeding eccentric and the rocker eccentric respectively; the stamping mechanism comprises a die table and a stamping assembly, the die table having a debris collection chamber at its bottom; the forming mechanism comprises a forming back plate and a plurality of bending arms, the forming back plate having a processing seat and a pushing mechanism at its center. This application uses a program to synchronously control the feeding, stamping, and bending of the equipment, thereby improving the quality of stamped and formed products, reducing labor costs, and increasing output efficiency.

[0004] However, in the automatic stamping and bending forming machine of the prior art, the intermittent feeding of raw materials is achieved by the intermittent reciprocating motion of the clamping and feeding mechanism. However, after long-term use, mechanical wear and vibration may cause feeding errors of the clamping and feeding mechanism, thereby affecting the processing accuracy of the product, producing defective products and causing waste of raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the errors existing in the prior art, the present application provides a feeding mechanism for an automatic stamping machine.

[0006] The feeding mechanism of an automatic stamping machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A feeding mechanism of an automatic stamping forming machine includes a feeding part, which is slidably mounted on a feeding track and is used to clamp a strip and move it toward a pressing part; a pressing part, which is fixedly mounted on the feeding mechanism and is used to fix the strip when stamping the strip; a driving device, which is mounted on the feeding part and is used to provide feeding power; a displacement sensor, which is mounted on the feeding track through a bracket, and the bracket is slidably mounted on the feeding track, and the displacement sensor is provided with a switch and is connected to the CNC control system of the entire equipment.

At this time, under the control of the CNC control system, the displacement sensor can monitor the distance that the feeding part clamps the strip material and makes reciprocating motion, thereby monitoring the feeding distance of the strip material in real time.

[0013] Preferably, a CCD camera is also installed at the bottom of the mounting plate, wherein the CCD camera is connected to the mounting plate via a lifting rod, and the top of the lifting rod can be moved and adjusted along the length direction of the bottom of the mounting plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the CCD camera installed at the bottom of the mounting plate adjusts the position of the lifting rod according to the width and thickness of the strip materials to perform visual identification of the strip with the CCD camera. It can identify defects on the surface of the strip and abnormalities in the position of the strip, thereby effectively reducing the defective rate of the product.

[0015] Preferably, fill light strips are installed on the inner sides of the support rods of the bracket.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the fill light waiting inside the support rod can improve the recognition accuracy of the CCD camera.

[0017] Preferably, the driving device includes a servo motor and a transmission mechanism at its output end, and the transmission mechanism is a screw transmission mechanism, a gear transmission mechanism or a rocker transmission mechanism.

[0018] Preferably, the driving device is located at the bottom of the feeding part, and buffer parts are respectively installed on the fixing frames on both sides of the bottom of the feeding part, and the buffer parts are equipped with alarm buttons.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer parts arranged on the fixed frames on both sides of the feeding part can buffer the impact of the feeding part when an abnormality occurs in the feeding part, and pressing the alarm button during buffering can activate the alarm to prompt the operator.

In the feeding mechanism, the feeding section 1 clamps the strip and reciprocates on the feeding track 6. The feeding section 1 first clamps the strip and moves toward the pressing section 2 under the action of the driving device 3. After reaching the designated position, the feeding section 1 is released and immediately returns to the starting position. The pressing section 2 now presses the strip and cooperates with the subsequent stamping mechanism to prevent the strip from slipping. Both the feeding section 1 and the pressing section 2 use motors to drive the rotation of eccentric wheels to achieve compression and release of the strip. A displacement sensor 4 is installed on the bracket 5 installed on the feeding track 6. After the feeding mechanism starts working, the switch 41 can be turned on. At this time, under the control of the CNC control system, the displacement sensor 4 can monitor the distance that the feeding part 1 clamps the strip and makes reciprocating motion, thereby monitoring the feeding distance of the strip in real time. If the measured displacement data exceeds the preset range, it means that the feeding length exceeds the range. At this time, an alarm will be issued through the CNC control system, and under the control of the CNC control system, the workpiece processed by the feeding length will be classified into a defective storage box through another belt when unloading, and the strip feeding distance data will be displayed in real time on an independent display on the equipment. The operator can observe the conveying distance of the strip according to the data displayed on the display, thereby more intuitively monitoring the working status of the feeding mechanism and effectively improving the processing accuracy of the product.

In the gear transmission mechanism 32, the gear on the output shaft of the servo motor 31 cooperates with the rack in the feeding direction of the strip, and the feeding is realized by the forward and reverse movement of the gear. The reciprocating motion of part 1; the door-type bracket 5 installed on the sensor is slidably installed on the feeding track 6. The bottom of the bracket 5 is used for the passage of the strip, and the position of the bracket 5 is adjusted according to the different strip lengths corresponding to different products.
