Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical processing molds, and more particularly to an upsetting mold for consumer electronic fasteners. Background Art

[0002] In the field of consumer electronics, fasteners are important components for connecting and fixing various small parts, circuit boards, housings and other components. As electronic products develop towards being lighter, thinner and shorter, the requirements for fasteners are becoming higher and higher. They are not only required to have sufficient mechanical strength, but also to have precise dimensions and good surface quality. The upsetting die is a tool used for metal plastic processing. It applies pressure to cause the metal material to undergo plastic deformation, thereby obtaining fasteners of the desired shape and size.

[0003] The upsetting process can ensure that the fasteners are more secure when fixed with solder, but the traditional upsetting operation requires manual filling, that is, the operator needs to manually place each fastener into the processing position, or use a robot for automatic filling, and only one fastener can be placed at a time. The filling process is not only time-consuming but also extremely inefficient, because the operator must place the fasteners one by one, which limits the efficiency of processing and production. In addition, for small fasteners, due to their light size and weight, they are prone to position deviation and other problems during the processing process, which not only affects the processing quality and increases the scrap rate, but may also damage the mold, accelerate mold wear, reduce the service life of the mold, and increase production costs. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new solution to solve the problem of poor processing efficiency and easy damage to the mold during upsetting of fasteners. Utility Model Content

The fasteners continuously conveyed by the feeding part are conveyed to the upsetting part through the conveying part, and the upsetting part uses the cooperation of the upper die and the lower die to accurately upset the fasteners. Then the conveying part conveys the fasteners to the collecting part, and the processed fasteners are collected in the collection box under the workbench 1. The conveying process is controlled by the servo motor 44 driving the gear 43 to rotate to control the movement of the conveying part 42. The servo motor 44 is controlled by PLC programming to ensure that the fasteners can be accurately conveyed to each workstation for corresponding operations. The use of an automated feeding and conveying system reduces manual operations. The continuous processing flow ensures the rapid production of fasteners and improves production efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the conveying part includes a long strip rack 41 and a long strip stainless steel conveying part 42 connected to the rack 41. A gear 43 is installed on the motor seat of the workbench 1. The gear 43 is driven by a servo motor 44. The rack 41 is engaged with the gear teeth of the gear 43. The rotation of the gear 43 drives the rack 41 to make a linear reciprocating motion. A conveying groove 421 corresponding to the shape and size of the fastener is provided on the side of the conveying part 42 close to the feeding part. The conveying part 42 conveys the fastener from the feeding position to the upsetting position and the collection position in sequence. Three guide pinholes 6 are provided on the conveying part 42, and three corresponding guide pins are provided on the upper splint 2. The guide pins are used to guide and position the conveying part 42 and to calibrate the positioning of the conveying part 42 to prevent the error of the transmission position deviating from the trajectory due to the servo motor 44, thereby causing damage to the mold.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding part includes a straight vibration bar 52 vibrated by a straight vibrator 51 and a vibration plate 53 cooperating with the straight vibration bar 52. The straight vibration bar 52 is provided with a feeding trough 521. When the conveying member 42 is located at the feeding position, the feeding trough 521 is connected to the feeding port 32.

The lower template 3 is provided with a through hole 332 connected to the tooth groove 33. A rebound member 333 is provided in the through hole 332. The rebound member 333 includes a support member 3331 and an elastic member 3332 located below the support member 3331. The elastic member 3332 It is a spring. After the fastener completes upsetting, the rebound member 333 helps the fastener to rebound smoothly, reduces the jamming phenomenon, and protects the mold from excessive pressure. The upper end of the lower template 3 is installed with a long stainless steel limit member 71 through a bolt. The limit members 71 on both sides of the conveying trough 31 are staggered. The upper splint 2 is provided with a limit groove 72 corresponding to the position of the limit member 71. When upsetting, the limit member 71 penetrates into the limit groove 72. The limit member 71 limits the conveying member 42 in the conveying trough 31, thereby protecting the conveying member 42.

[0036] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the collecting portion is located below the workbench 1 at a position corresponding to the collecting position. The collecting punch 22 presses the fasteners after upsetting into the collecting groove 34, and the fasteners fall into the collecting box below the workbench 1, which not only improves the processing efficiency of the fasteners, but also avoids the accumulation of fasteners in the mold, reducing potential damage to the mold.
