[0022] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses an automatic precision shaping device for powder metallurgy gears, comprising a base plate 1, with a shaping mold 2 embedded inside the base plate 1 for precision shaping of the powder metallurgy gears. A feeding mold 3 is slidably connected to the top of the base plate 1 and to one side of the shaping mold 2, the feeding mold 3 for supporting and positioning the powder metallurgy gears to be shaped. An electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1; the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 7 drives the feeding mold 3 to slide on the base plate 1, achieving the feeding function. The feeding mold 3 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the electric push rod 7, and a placement groove 6 is provided inside the feeding mold 3 for placing the powder metallurgy gears to be shaped. The top of the feeding mold 3 and above the placement groove 6 is fixedly connected to the feeding cylinder 4 via the third mounting bracket 18. The feeding cylinder 4 has a slot in the middle. Multiple positioning teeth 5 are fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of the feeding cylinder 4 and the placement groove 6. These positioning teeth 5 can accurately position the gears stored inside the feeding cylinder 4, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the feeding process.
[0024] When the gear to be shaped is stored inside the feeding cylinder 4, the positioning teeth 5 play a positioning role to ensure the accuracy of subsequent gear feeding. During feeding, the gear falls into the placement groove 6 and the positioning teeth 5 ensure the accuracy of positioning. The electric push rod 7 pushes the feeding mold 3 and the gear inside it to the shaping mold 2. The pressure block 10 moves downward so that the gear passes through the mold cavity of the shaping mold 2 to shape the powder metallurgy gear. This realizes automatic feeding and precision shaping of powder metallurgy gears, improves shaping efficiency and accuracy, reduces labor costs and labor intensity, and has strong practicality.
[0025] A pressure plate 14 is slidably connected inside the groove of the feeding cylinder 4. The pressure plate 14 is used to press the powder metallurgy gear into the placement groove 6 during the feeding process. The top of the base plate 1 is provided with a control component for moving the pressure plate 14. The control component includes two second mounting brackets 11 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 and located on both sides of the feeding cylinder 4, a guide rod 12 fixedly connected to the top of one of the second mounting brackets 11, a lead screw 13 rotatably connected to the top of the other second mounting bracket 11, and a motor 15 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 and located at the bottom end of the lead screw 13. The bottom end of the lead screw 13 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 15, and the bottom end of the guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. The end of the pressure plate 14 near the lead screw 13 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 13, and the end of the pressure plate 14 near the guide rod 12 is slidably connected to the guide rod 12, providing a stable sliding track for the pressure plate 14.
[0026] The rotation of motor 15 drives lead screw 13 to rotate, thereby causing pressure plate 14 to slide on guide rod 12. Pressure plate 14 moves downward to control the downward movement of gear inside feeding cylinder 4, which can realize the pressing function during feeding process, so that the gear to be shaped can be smoothly fed into the placement groove 6.
[0027] A pressing assembly is provided on the top of the base plate 1 and on one side of the forming mold 2. The pressing assembly includes a first mounting bracket 8 with an L-shaped structure fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, a cylinder 9 fixedly connected to the top of the first mounting bracket 8, and a pressing block 10 located above the forming mold 2. The pressing block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the piston rod of the cylinder 9.
[0028] After the gear is fed to the top of the forming mold 2 by the moving feeding mold 3, the pressing block 10 can be driven to press down by the extension and retraction of the cylinder 9, compressing the gear into the mold cavity inside the forming mold 2, and performing precision forming of the powder metallurgy gear.
[0029] A U-shaped guide plate 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 1 and below the forming mold 2. A receiving box 17 is provided on one side below the guide plate 19 to collect the shaped powder metallurgy gears. The bottom of the guide plate 19 is designed with an inclined surface structure that slopes towards the receiving box 17, facilitating the smooth sliding of the shaped gears into the receiving box 17. A movable plate 21 is slidably connected inside the receiving box 17. Two springs 22 are symmetrically fixed between the bottom of the movable plate 21 and the bottom of the inner surface of the receiving box 17. A rubber pad 20 is provided on the top of the movable plate 21 to buffer the impact force when the gear falls, protecting the gear from damage. When the gear falls into the receiving box 17, it will land on the movable plate 21 and move downwards through the elastic action of the springs 22, reducing collisions and damage between gears.
[0030] A limiting block 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 on the side of the forming mold 2 away from the feeding mold 3. A limiting block 16 is also fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 on the side of the feeding mold 3 near the electric push rod 7. The limiting block 16 is used to limit the sliding range of the feeding mold 3 on the base plate 1 to ensure the stable operation of the equipment and the accuracy of the forming process.
[0031] Working principle: When the pressure plate 14 moves to the top and stores the gear to be shaped inside the feeding cylinder 4, the positioning teeth 5 play a positioning role to ensure the accuracy of subsequent gear feeding. The rotation of the motor 15 can drive the lead screw 13 to rotate, thereby driving the pressure plate 14 to slide on the guide rod 12. The downward movement of the pressure plate 14 controls the downward movement of the gear inside the feeding cylinder 4, which can realize the pressing function during the feeding process, so that the gear to be shaped can be smoothly fed into the placement groove 6.
[0032] The electric push rod 7 pushes the feeding mold 3 and its internal gears to the forming mold 2. Through the extension and retraction of the cylinder 9, the pressure block 10 can be driven to press down, compressing the gear into the mold cavity inside the forming mold 2, and performing precision forming of the powder metallurgy gear.
[0033] After the gear is shaped, it slides smoothly into the receiving box 17 through the guide plate 19. When the gear falls into the receiving box 17, it will fall on the movable plate 21. The collision and damage between the gears are reduced by the spring 22 and the rubber pad 20, and the receiving work can be completed.
[0034] Through the structure of feeding mold 3, feeding cylinder 4, forming mold 2, pressure plate 14, control components, pressing components and receiving box 17, the automatic feeding, precision forming and automatic receiving functions of powder metallurgy gears are realized, which improves forming efficiency and accuracy, reduces labor costs and labor intensity, and is highly practical.
[0035] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
