Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, specifically to an automotive tie rod bracket flanging forming device. Background Technology
[0002] The car tie rod bracket is a component installed on the chassis beam of a car. It is assembled and welded from parts such as the bracket base body, bracket plate I, bracket plate II, and bracket pin. During the production process of the car tie rod bracket, a hole-making device is used to drill holes in it, so as to facilitate its installation on the chassis beam of the car.
[0003] In existing technologies, automotive tie rod brackets are manufactured by using a hydraulic cylinder to move a stamping head downwards, which then performs a perforation process on the tie rod bracket located on the lower die. After the perforation is completed, the tie rod bracket is removed. However, when this process is repeated, a significant amount of debris and impurities from the perforation process accumulates on the surface of the lower die. Although employees are currently encouraged to clean this process regularly during production, they often skip this step in order to increase production efficiency and piece-rate wages. This results in the debris and impurities on the lower die not being properly cleaned, leading to batch defects in perforation and causing serious losses. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a flanging and forming device for automotive tie rod brackets.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A device for forming and drilling holes in an automotive tie rod bracket, comprising:
[0007] A fixed plate is provided, with a motor fixedly connected to its lower end. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to the movable end of the motor. Four placement plates are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating plate, with the lower ends of the placement plates fitting against the upper end of the fixed plate.
[0008] A hole-flipping mechanism, comprising a groove formed on the upper end of a placement plate, a punching groove formed at the bottom of the groove, and an L-shaped plate fixedly connected to the upper end of a fixing plate;
[0009] A cleaning mechanism includes a threaded cylinder fixedly connected to the upper end of an L-shaped plate. A bolt is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded cylinder. A fixing post is fixedly connected to the lower end of the bolt. Multiple bristles are fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing post. The fixing post is directly opposite one of the punched slots.
[0010] Preferably, the flanging mechanism further includes a hydraulic cylinder fixedly connected to the upper end of the L-shaped plate, and a punching head is fixedly connected to the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, the output shaft sidewall of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the sidewall of the bolt via a connecting plate, and the hydraulic cylinder and the bolt are located on the same plane.
[0012] Preferably, an air pump is fixedly connected to the side wall of the L-shaped plate, the input end of the air pump is fixedly connected to an air inlet pipe, the output end of the air pump is fixedly connected to an L-shaped pipe, the side wall of the L-shaped pipe penetrates the side wall of the L-shaped plate, and multiple air jet holes are opened at the bottom of the L-shaped pipe, with each of the multiple air jet holes facing one of the grooves.
[0013] Preferably, the side wall of the fixing plate has two through slots, one of which is directly opposite the fixing post, and the other is directly opposite to multiple air jet holes.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. A cleaning mechanism is set up. The rake rod will drive the fixed column and multiple brush edges to rotate and move down into the punching groove to clean the punching groove after the hole is turned over.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Reference Figures 1-4 A flanging forming device for an automotive tie rod bracket includes a fixed plate 1, a motor 2 fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed plate 1, a rotating plate 3 fixedly connected to the movable end of the motor 2, and four placement plates 4 fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating plate 3. The lower ends of the placement plates 4 are attached to the upper ends of the fixed plate 1. Figure 1 As shown, the included angle between two adjacent placement plates 4 is 90 degrees, and in this scheme, the motor 2 rotates 90 degrees clockwise intermittently.
[0024] The hole-flipping mechanism includes a groove 5 formed on the upper end of the placement plate 4, a punching groove 6 formed at the bottom of the groove 5, an L-shaped plate 7 fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixing plate 1, a hydraulic cylinder 8 fixedly connected to the upper end of the L-shaped plate 7, and a punching head 9 fixedly connected to the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder 8.
[0025] The cleaning mechanism includes a threaded cylinder 10 fixedly connected to the upper end of the L-shaped plate 7. A bolt 11 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded cylinder 10. A fixing post 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the bolt 11. Multiple bristles 13 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing post 12. The fixing post 12 is directly opposite to one of the punched slots 6.
[0026] The output shaft sidewall of hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the sidewall of the bolt 11 via connecting plate 14, and hydraulic cylinder 8 and bolt 11 are located on the same plane.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, when the hydraulic cylinder 8 extends, the connecting plate 14 drives the bolt 11 to move downward. At this time, under the action of the threaded cylinder 10, the bolt 11 will rotate and move downward, driving the fixed column 12 and multiple brushes 13 to rotate and move downward into the punching groove 6. This cleans the punching groove 6 where the subsequent hole is turned, preventing residual debris and impurities from affecting the subsequent hole turning quality of the automotive tie rod bracket. It also prevents debris and impurities on the lower die from not being cleaned, which could lead to batch defects in subsequent hole turning, causing serious losses.
[0028] An air pump 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the L-shaped plate 7. An air inlet pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the input end of the air pump 19, and an L-shaped pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump 19. The side wall of the L-shaped pipe 16 penetrates the side wall of the L-shaped plate 7. Multiple air jet holes 17 are opened at the bottom of the L-shaped pipe 16, and each air jet hole 17 is directly opposite one of the grooves 5. Figure 2 As shown, air blowing can be used to clean the placement plate 4 after cleaning the punching groove 6, thereby improving the cleaning effect on debris and impurities.
[0029] The side wall of the fixing plate 1 has two through slots 18, one of which is directly opposite the fixing post 12, and the other through slot 18 is directly opposite to multiple air jet holes 17.
[0030] When performing the flanging operation on the car tie rod bracket, first place the car tie rod bracket in the groove 5 directly below the punch head 9, then adjust the extension of the hydraulic cylinder 8 to drive the punch head 9 to move down and flanging the car tie rod bracket, then adjust the retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 8 to drive the punch head 9 to move up to its original position;
[0031] Then the drive motor 2 rotates 90 degrees clockwise, and the rotating plate 3 drives the four placement plates 4 to rotate 90 degrees. At this time, the car tie rod bracket after the hole is turned will move away from the bottom of the punch head 9. Then the car tie rod bracket can be taken out. At this time, the staff can continue to place the car tie rod bracket in the groove 5 directly below the punch head 9, and then repeat the above steps.
[0032] As the four placement plates 4 continue to rotate 90 degrees, the placement plate 4, which has already removed the car tie rod bracket, will rotate to the lower end of the fixed post 12. Then, when the hydraulic cylinder 8 extends, the connecting plate 14 will drive the bolt rod 11 to move down. At this time, under the action of the threaded cylinder 10, the bolt rod 11 will rotate and move down at the same time, driving the fixed post 12 and multiple brushes 13 to rotate and move down into the punching groove 6. This cleans the punching groove 6 where the hole is to be turned over, preventing residual debris and impurities from affecting the quality of the subsequent hole turning of the car tie rod bracket.
[0033] Meanwhile, as the four placement plates 4 continue to rotate 90 degrees so that the cleaned placement plate 4 is directly below the L-shaped tube 16, the air pump 19 is started. Then, the outside air will flow out through the air inlet pipe 15, the air pump 19, the L-shaped tube 16 and multiple jet holes 17 to blow air to clean the cleaned placement plate 4 in the punching groove 6, thereby improving the cleaning effect of debris and impurities.
[0034] In this way, as the four placement plates 4 rotate 90 degrees intermittently, the drilling, removal, and cleaning of the punching slots 6 and grooves 5 of the car tie rod bracket can be completed without manual operation by staff, improving efficiency while ensuring quality.
[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
