DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] A device for punching opposite holes in pipes, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a mold base 1, a mold core 2 and a punch 3;
[0033] The mold base 1 is provided with a core mounting hole 4 opened on the surface, and the inner diameter of the core mounting hole 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the pipe 5; the mold base 1 is provided with a first punching pin hole 6 opened on the inner wall of the core mounting hole 4;
[0034] The mold core 2 is installed in the mold core installation hole 4 of the mold base 1. The outer diameter of the mold core 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe 5. The mold core 2 is provided with a second punching pin hole 7 opened on the outer wall of the mold core 2. The second punching pin hole 7 is located on the extension line of the first punching pin hole 6.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the second punching needle hole 7 is connected to the second blanking hole 8 in the mold core 2, and the opening of the second blanking hole 8 is downward; Figure 1 As shown, a first blanking hole 9 opposite to the second blanking hole 8 is provided in the mold base 1 below the second blanking hole 8, and the first blanking hole 9 is downwardly connected to the blanking bin;
[0036] The punching needle 3 can move along the first punching needle hole 6 and the second punching needle hole 7 , and the end point of the stroke of the punching needle 3 is located in the second blanking hole 8 .
[0037] With the above settings, when punching, Figure 2As shown, the mold core 2 supports the pipe 5 on the inside, and the punch 3 passes through the first punch hole 6 and the second punch hole 7 to create an opening on the side wall of the pipe 5. At the same time, the blanking produced by the punching is pushed to the second blanking hole 8. The blanking passes through the first blanking hole 9 and falls into the blanking bin for centralized collection and processing. Its structure is simple, lightweight and highly safe.
[0038] The inner diameter of the mold core mounting hole 4 is designed according to the outer diameter of the pipe fitting and is suitable for punching stainless steel handrails (φ30-40mm) used in the bus industry.
[0039] The mold base 1 and mold core 2 are both made by wire cutting to achieve high precision (0.2mm); and the mold base 1 and mold core 2 undergo a heat treatment process to ensure the hardness of the mold and extend its service life; it can be applied to 5-10T hydraulic cylinder stands and is flexible and convenient to disassemble and assemble.
[0040] The cylindrical outer wall of the mold core 2 is concentric with the cylindrical inner wall of the mold core mounting hole 4, so that the pipe fitting is inserted into the gap between the mold core 2 and the mold core mounting hole 4 to achieve positioning; the gap depth is determined according to the relative size of the pipe fitting end and the opening position. In this embodiment, the gap depth is 150mm.
[0041] The axis of the first punching needle hole 6 is perpendicular to the central axis of the mold core mounting hole 4, so that the punching needle 3 passes vertically through the side wall of the pipe 5 during the punching process, which is beneficial to ensure the stress state of the punching needle 3 and improve its service life.
[0042] The inner diameter of the second punching needle hole 7 is larger than that of the first punching needle hole 6, so that the side wall of the tube 5 is deformed under the action of shear force to form an opening. Then the punching needle 3 continues to move and pushes the circular blank into the second blanking hole 8.
[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the mold core 2 is provided with a limiting device 10, which matches the shape of the mold core installation position of the mold base 1 to ensure that the mold core 2 does not loosen during the punching process.
[0044] The punching needle 3 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder and can move along the first punching needle hole 6 and the second punching needle hole 7 under the drive of the hydraulic cylinder to achieve semi-automatic operation.
[0045] The punch needle 3 has good hardness and a maximum stroke of 80 mm, ensuring effective shear force and efficiency. Its size is designed according to the range of bolt holes for fixing pipe fittings (5.5-8.5 mm), achieving high precision of the hole size.
[0046] like Figure 1As shown, the outer wall of the core mounting hole 4 is recessed toward the periphery to form a push rod hole 11, and the axis of the push rod hole 11 is parallel to the axis of the core mounting hole 4; the device is provided with a push rod 12, which moves along the push rod hole 11 of the mold base 1. The push rod 12 is used to push the pipe fitting 5 out of the gap between the core 2 and the core mounting hole 4 after the punching is completed, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the operator.
[0047] The distance between the push rod 12 and the mold core 2 is smaller than the distance between the outer wall of the pipe fitting 5 and the mold core 2, and can pass through the gap between the mold core mounting hole 4 and the mold core 2 when moving; the push rod hole 11 is located outside the mold core 2, and the push rod 12 does not interfere with the mold core 2, that is, the push rod 12 can contact the end of the pipe fitting 5 and push the pipe fitting 5 out.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the push rod hole 11 passes through the opposite surface of the mold base 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, multiple push rods 12 are connected to the push rod base 13 outside the mold base 1, and can push the pipe 5 synchronously at multiple positions to prevent the pipe 5 from tilting during the pushing process, resulting in contact with the core mounting hole 4 or the core 2 and causing damage to the pipe or punching device.
[0049] The push rod base 13 is connected to the motion mechanism, which drives the push rod 12 to move, thereby realizing semi-automatic operation.
[0050] When punching a pipe using the device for punching opposite holes of this embodiment, the operation process includes:
[0051] Retract the punch needle 3 to the bottom end of the first punch needle hole 6, and retract the push rod 12 to the bottom end of the push rod hole 11, so that there is no obstacle in the gap between the cylindrical outer wall of the mold core 2 and the cylindrical inner wall of the mold core mounting hole 4, insert the pipe 5 to be punched into the gap between the mold core 2 and the mold core mounting hole 4, and align the first punch hole with the position to be opened of the pipe 5 through the positioning device. At this time, the device state is as follows: Figure 1 shown.
[0052] Start the hydraulic cylinder to extend the punch needle 3 along the first punch needle hole 6, and continue to move after contacting the side wall of the pipe 5 to complete the punching process. The punch needle 3 continues to move along the second punch needle hole 7, pushing the blank produced by the punching into the second blanking hole 8. After the blank enters the second blanking hole 8, it falls from the downward opening and falls through the first blanking hole 9 to the blanking bin for centralized collection and processing. At this time, the device state is as follows: Figure 2 shown.
[0053] Start the hydraulic cylinder to retract the punch needle 3 along the first punch needle hole 6 to the starting point of the stroke, start the movement mechanism connected to the push rod base 13, and extend the push rod 12 in the opposite direction of the insertion direction of the pipe 5. Figure 2As shown in the figure, the push rod 12 is partially blocked by the pipe 5, so when the push rod 12 extends forward, the pipe 5 is pushed out of the gap between the mold core 2 and the mold core mounting hole 4; then the push rod 12 is retracted to the bottom end of the push rod hole 11, so that the entire device returns to its original state. Figure 1 In the status, perform subsequent operations.
[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
