Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of square tube production equipment technology, and in particular to a square tube punching device. Background Technology

[0002] Square tube is a type of rectangular tubing, meaning a steel pipe with equal side lengths, typically made from strip steel or steel plate through a rolling process. Square tubes are widely used in various fields such as construction, machinery, chemical industry, and automotive. They are often used as structural support materials; punching allows them to be connected to other components, such as by bolting or welding, thus creating a stable structural system. A square tube punching device is usually used when punching square tubes.

[0003] Existing square tube punching devices typically use a fixed-size core inserted into the square tube for positioning and support. Then, a punch is moved down to punch holes in the tube. This method of positioning the core requires a certain gap between the core and the inner wall of the square tube to facilitate insertion. During the production process, due to tolerances and other factors, the internal dimensions of the square tube may vary within a certain range, meaning that the internal dimensions of different square tubes are not completely consistent. Therefore, after the core is inserted into the square tube, the gap between the two may be too large, making it difficult to align the centerlines of the square tube and the core. During the punching process, especially during continuous punching, the position of the hole may deviate, thus affecting the production quality of the square tube.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a square tube punching device to address the aforementioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] In one specific implementation, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a workbench 1, with a baffle 9 fixedly connected to one end. A guide rod 10 is horizontally fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 9 near the gantry frame 2. A core 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 10. A punching assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam of the gantry frame 2. A lower module 4 is located directly below the punching assembly 3. A punching hole 7 that mates with the punching assembly 3 is vertically opened through the top surface of the lower module 4. A guide hole 5 that guides the square tube 8 to be punched is opened through the side wall of the lower module 4. The guide hole 5 and the punching hole 7 are connected through the lower module 4. 7. The core 11 is suspended in the guide hole 5; the core 11 is also provided with a through hole that is coaxial with the punch 7; clamping components 6 are provided on both sides of the guide hole 5. The clamping components 6 include a first clamping plate 601 and a second clamping plate 602 that are slidably connected to both ends of the side wall of the lower module 4. The first clamping plate 601 and the second clamping plate 602 are located on both sides of the guide hole 5. A driving unit is also fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower module 4. The driving unit is used to drive the first clamping plate 601 and the second clamping plate 602 to move in opposite directions.

[0027] In one specific embodiment, the punching assembly 3 includes a hydraulic cylinder 301, which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the crossbeam of the gantry frame 2. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 301 passes through the crossbeam of the gantry frame 2 and is fixedly connected to a movable plate 302. A punching head 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the movable plate 302, and the punching head 303 cooperates with the punching 7.

[0028] Hydraulic cylinder 301 serves as the power source, driving punch head 303 to move up and down. Moving plate 302 is connected to the telescopic end of hydraulic cylinder 301, driving punch head 303 to move up and down linearly. Punching head 303 directly acts on square tube 8 to complete the punching operation.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, a slide cylinder 304 is fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom surface of the movable plate 302. A through hole is vertically opened at both ends of the movable plate 302, and the slide cylinder 304 is coaxially connected to the through hole. A guide rod 305 is vertically fixedly connected to both ends of the top surface of the workbench 1. The guide rod 305 is slidably connected to the slide cylinder 304, which can ensure the stable movement of the movable plate 302 in the vertical direction and improve the punching accuracy of the punching head 303.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the drive unit includes a threaded rod 603, a threaded hole 604 is provided at the end of the second clamping plate 602 away from the guide hole 5, one end of the threaded rod 603 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 604, a connecting seat 605 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower module 4 near the second clamping plate 602, and the other end of the threaded rod 603 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 605; a first rack 606 is fixedly connected to both ends of the first clamping plate 601 near the second clamping plate 602, and the second clamping plate 602 is fixedly connected to the first rack 606 near the first rack 5. A second rack 607 is fixedly connected to both ends of one side of the clamping plate 601; a first groove 608 is opened at both ends of the first clamping plate 601 and the second clamping plate 602 respectively; the second rack 607 is slidably connected to the first groove 608 on the first clamping plate 601; the first rack 606 is slidably connected to the first groove 608 on the second clamping plate 602; the first rack 606 and the second rack 607 located at the same end are connected by a gear 609, and the gear 609 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the lower module 4.

[0031] Driven by an external power source, the threaded rod 603 rotates. Due to the friction and pressure of the inclined surface of the thread, the threaded rod 603 moves axially along the threaded hole 604, thereby pushing or pulling the second clamping plate 602. When the movement of the second clamping plate 602 drives the second rack 607 to move, the meshing of the gear 609 drives the first rack 606 to move in the opposite direction. This transmission method achieves synchronous and relative movement of the first clamping plate 601 and the second clamping plate 602.

[0032] Specifically, limit rings 610 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the threaded rods 603 on both sides of the connecting seat 605, and the limit rings 610 are slidably connected to the side walls of the connecting seat 605. This allows the threaded rods 603 to rotate freely within the connecting seat 605 without axial movement, thereby ensuring that the threaded rods 603 can smoothly drive the second clamping plate 602 to move.

[0033] Specifically, a handwheel 615 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 603 away from the threaded hole 604. This facilitates manual operation of the threaded rod 603 and improves the ease of use of the device.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, horizontally arranged guide rails 611 are fixedly connected to both ends of the lower module 4. Second sliding grooves 612, adapted to the guide rails 611, are respectively formed on the side walls of the first clamping plate 601 and the second clamping plate 602 at both ends. The first clamping plate 601 and the second clamping plate 602 are slidably connected to the guide rails 611 through the second sliding grooves 612. The second sliding grooves 612 and the guide rails 611 ensure stable sliding of the first clamping plate 601 and the second clamping plate 602, improving the clamping accuracy and reliability.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, rollers 613 are rotatably connected to the sidewalls of the first clamping plate 601 and the second clamping plate 602 that are close to each other. Rubber pads 614 are wrapped around the outer walls of the rollers 613. The rollers 613 reduce friction between the first clamping plate 601 and the second clamping plate 602 and the square tube 8, thus reducing resistance during the movement of the square tube 8. The rubber pads 614 provide better anti-slip and cushioning effects, protecting the surface of the square tube 8 from damage.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the square tube punching device, the square tube 8 to be punched is aligned and placed into the guide hole 5 on the lower module 4 and sleeved on the core 11. The operator manually rotates the handwheel 615 to drive the threaded rod 603 to rotate. Through the cooperation with the threaded hole 604, the rotation of the threaded rod 603 is converted into the axial movement of the second clamping plate 602, driving the second clamping plate 602 to slide towards the square tube 8. As the second clamping plate 602 moves, through the meshing action of the gear 609, the first clamping plate 601 is driven to move in the opposite direction, thereby clamping and fixing the square tube 8 in the center with the second clamping plate 602, aligning the center line of the square tube 8 and the core 11. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 301 is activated, and the extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 301 drives the punching head 303 to descend. The punching head 303 gradually approaches and finally penetrates the square tube 8, completing the punching operation. After punching is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 301 retracts, causing the punching head 303 to rise and leave the square tube 8. The operator can then remove the punched square tube 8 by rotating the handwheel 615 in the opposite direction to separate the first clamping plate 601 and the second clamping plate 602.

[0037] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.

[0038] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
