Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of stamping die technology, and more specifically to a storage and transportation block and a stamping die. Background Technology
[0002] When stamping dies are not in use or are in transit, the upper and lower dies are typically placed together. To prevent direct contact between the upper and lower dies, corresponding upper and lower limit posts are usually installed between them. However, even so, the distance between the upper and lower dies is still relatively close, and the elastic elements within the stamping die remain compressed. If this compression persists for too long, the restoring ability of the elastic elements will decrease, and their service life will be shortened. Therefore, when stamping dies are idle, a storage mechanism needs to be installed between the upper and lower dies to increase the distance between them, thereby preventing the elastic elements from being compressed or minimizing the amount of compression, ensuring their performance and lifespan.
[0003] Traditional stamping die storage blocks have some problems in practical applications. Because the storage block is a single component, the storage and placement of the storage block in related technologies are handled rather carelessly. Only a single iron block or rope is used to tie the storage block to the vicinity of the stamping die. Therefore, when using the storage block, the operation of placing the storage block between the upper and lower dies of the stamping die is difficult and complicated. At the same time, due to the structural defects of the storage block, it is difficult to ensure that it is accurately placed in the predetermined position between the upper and lower dies, resulting in poor positioning accuracy. This may lead to uneven gaps between the upper and lower dies, affecting the storage effect of the die and the accuracy of the next use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a storage and transportation block and a stamping die to solve the problem of how to easily, quickly and accurately place the storage and transportation block between the upper and lower dies of the stamping die.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: A storage and transport block is provided, which is used for a stamping die. The stamping die includes a storage state and a production state. When the stamping die is in the storage state, the storage and transport block is placed between the upper and lower dies of the stamping die. The storage and transport block includes: a storage and transport block body; and a handle, one end of which is fixedly connected to the storage and transport block body, and the other end of which is used to insert into the lower die of the stamping die. When the stamping die is in the production state, the storage and transport block body is placed outside the stamping die via the handle. When the stamping die changes from the production state to the storage state, the handle rotates and lifts relative to the lower die, thereby placing the storage and transport block body between the upper and lower dies of the stamping die.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the handle includes a flat section and a vertical section. One end of the flat section is connected to the storage block body, and the other end of the flat section is connected to the vertical section. The handle is inserted into the lower die of the stamping die through the vertical section. When the stamping die is in production, the flat section abuts against the surface of the lower die, so that the storage block body is suspended outside the stamping die.
[0007] As another preferred embodiment, the straight section is parallel to the upper and lower contact surfaces of the storage and transportation block body and parallel to the lower mold surface, and the vertical section is arranged perpendicular to the straight section so that the storage and transportation block body can be rotated and raised in the vertical direction by the handle.
[0008] More preferably, one end of the straight section is connected to the middle position of the storage and transportation block body along the support direction.
[0009] Further preferably, the vertical segment and the horizontal segment are connected by an arc-shaped transition.
[0010] More preferably, the end of the vertical segment away from the horizontal segment has an axial extension height that exceeds the lower abutment surface of the storage and transportation block body.
[0011] Preferably, the storage and transportation block body is a hollow columnar structure.
[0012] Further preferably, this application also provides a stamping die, including: a feeding mechanism for conveying a sheet material; an upper die and a lower die, the lower die for placing the sheet material to cooperate with the upper die for stamping the sheet material; and a storage and transport block as described in any one of the above, the storage and transport block being connected to the lower die.
[0013] Preferably, the stamping die further includes a limiting member, which is fixedly connected to the lower die, and the limiting member cooperates with the lower die to surround and define a limiting space; wherein, when the stamping die is in production, the storage and transport block is suspended within the limiting space.
[0014] Furthermore, the lower die is provided with an annular slot, and when the stamping die is in the storage state, the storage block is embedded in the annular slot.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0016] The storage and transport block of this application is equipped with a handle. When it is necessary to change the stamping die from the production state to the storage state, the storage and transport block body can be moved directly through the handle. By rotating and lifting relative to the lower die, the storage and transport block body can be easily placed between the upper and lower dies of the stamping die. There is no need for complicated operation procedures, which reduces labor intensity and improves work efficiency.
[0017] Meanwhile, the storage and transportation block in this application can distribute the force more evenly when bearing the pressure between the upper and lower dies of the stamping die, resulting in higher overall structural strength. It is less prone to deformation or damage caused by structural loosening or weak points, and can more reliably support the die, ensuring the safety of the die in the storage state.
[0018] One end of the handle is fixedly connected to the storage block body, and the other end is used to insert into the lower die of the stamping die. This design can play a positioning role when placing the storage block, ensuring that the storage block can be accurately placed in the predetermined position between the upper and lower dies.

[0032] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, see Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a storage and transport block 1 for use in a stamping die 2. The stamping die 2 includes a storage state and a production state. When the stamping die 2 is in the storage state, the storage and transport block 1 is placed between the upper and lower dies 50 of the stamping die 2. The storage and transport block 1 includes: a storage and transport block body 10; and a handle 20. One end of the handle 20 is fixedly connected to the storage and transport block body 10, and the other end of the handle 20 is used to insert into the lower die 50 of the stamping die 2. When the stamping die 2 is in the production state, the storage and transport block body 10 is placed outside the stamping die 2 through the handle 20. When the stamping die 2 changes from the production state to the storage state, the handle 20 is rotated and lifted relative to the lower die 50 to move the storage and transport block body 10 between the upper and lower dies 50 of the stamping die 2.
[0034] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 3 to 6In this application, when the storage and transport block 1 is in use, the corresponding stamping die 2 is in a storage state. When the stamping die 2 is in a production state, the storage and transport block 1 is not used and is therefore idle. Specifically, the storage and transport block 1 in this application is equipped with a handle 20. When it is necessary to change the stamping die 2 from the production state to the storage state, the storage and transport block body 10 can be moved directly through the handle 20. By rotating and lifting relative to the lower die 50, the storage and transport block body 10 can be easily placed between the upper and lower dies 50 of the stamping die 2. This eliminates the need for complicated operating procedures, reduces labor intensity, and improves work efficiency.
[0035] At the same time, when the stamping die 2 needs to be switched from the storage state to the production state, the storage block 1 can be easily removed from between the upper and lower dies 50 by the handle 20, making the operation simpler and faster.
[0036] In the storage state, the storage block body 10 is placed between the upper and lower dies 50 of the stamping die 2, which can effectively prevent the upper and lower dies 50 from directly contacting each other, avoid wear, deformation or damage to the die surface caused by mutual squeezing and collision due to long-term placement, thereby extending the service life of the die and ensuring the accuracy and performance of the die.
[0037] During the storage and handling of molds, some vibration may occur. Storage and transport block 1 can play a certain buffering role, reducing the impact of vibration on the internal structure and parts of the mold, and further protecting the mold.
[0038] When the stamping die 2 is in production, the storage and transportation block body 10 can be placed outside the stamping die 2 by means of the handle 20, which will not occupy the space of the stamping die 2 during production, making the space around the stamping equipment cleaner and more orderly, facilitating the operation and maintenance of the equipment, and also benefiting the space planning and management in the workshop, thus improving the space utilization rate.
[0039] One end of the handle 20 is fixedly connected to the storage block body 10, and the other end is used to insert into the lower die 50 of the stamping die 2. This design can play a positioning role when placing the storage block 1, ensuring that the storage block 1 can be accurately placed in the predetermined position between the upper and lower dies 50. At the same time, the handle 20 and the storage block body 10 are preferably made of steel, and multiple storage blocks 1 can be provided in the stamping die 2. Handles of the same length are cut and welded between multiple storage blocks 1.
[0040] Furthermore, the storage and transport block 1 in this application adopts an external rotation descent and internal rotation descent adjustment method, which has the advantages of relatively simple structure and high degree of integration. Compared with the related technology that adjusts the storage and transport block 1 by folding, the folding structure has easily loosened parts such as hinge points and rotating shafts. Therefore, when the storage and transport block 1 in this application is subjected to the pressure between the upper and lower dies 50 of the stamping die 2, it can distribute the force more evenly, and the overall structural strength is higher. It is not easy to have problems such as deformation or damage caused by structural loosening or weak points, and it can more reliably support the die and ensure the safety of the die in the storage state.
[0041] In the related technology, the folding storage block 1 is prone to wear and tear on the folding parts during repeated folding and unfolding, which affects its structural stability and performance. In contrast, the outward-spinning descent and inward-spinning ascent adjustment method does not involve frequent folding movements, and its stability is less affected by the number of uses, allowing it to maintain a stable working state for a longer period.
[0042] In some space-constrained storage areas of stamping die 2, the storage block 1 with external downward rotation and internal upward rotation requires less space and does not require a certain amount of planar space to place the folded part after folding, as is the case with the folding storage block 1. Thus, the storage block 1 in this application can optimize the space on the side of the stamping die 2.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment, the handle 20 includes a straight section 21 and a vertical section 22. One end of the straight section 21 is connected to the storage block body 10, and the other end of the straight section is connected to the vertical section 22. The vertical section 22 is inserted into the lower die 50 of the stamping die 2. When the stamping die 2 is in production, the straight section 21 abuts against the surface of the lower die 50, so that the storage block body 10 is suspended outside the stamping die 2. When the stamping die 2 is in production, the straight section 21 abuts against the surface of the lower die 50, providing a stable support point and positioning reference for the storage block body 10, so that the storage block body 10 can be stably suspended outside the stamping die 2 without shaking or swaying, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the stamping process to a certain extent.
[0044] As another preferred embodiment, the straight section 21 is parallel to the upper and lower contact surfaces of the storage block body 10 and parallel to the surface of the lower mold 50, and the vertical section 22 is perpendicular to the straight section 21, so that the storage block body 10 can be rotated and raised in the vertical direction by the handle 20. The upper contact surface is the surface of the storage block body 10 that contacts the upper mold 40, and the lower contact surface is the surface of the storage block body 10 that contacts the lower mold 50.
[0045] The straight section 21 is parallel to the upper and lower contact surfaces of the storage block body 10 and the surface of the lower die 50. This ensures the storage block body 10 remains stable horizontally during rotation and lifting, preventing lateral swaying or deviation. The vertical section 22 is perpendicular to the straight section 21, providing stable support and guidance for the rotational movement. This ensures the storage block body 10 can rotate and lift accurately in the vertical direction without jamming or tilting, thus ensuring operational safety and reliability. Furthermore, this vertical and parallel structural design allows for more even and stable force transmission when the handle 20 rotates the storage block body 10. The storage block body 10 maintains balance during lifting, preventing uneven force from causing one side to tilt or lift, thus protecting the surfaces of the upper and lower dies 50 of the stamping die 2 and the structural integrity of the storage block body 10 itself.
[0046] Further preferably, one end of the straight section 21 is connected to the middle position of the storage and transportation block body 10 along the support direction. Connecting one end of the straight section 21 to the middle position of the storage and transportation block body 10 along the support direction allows the force applied by the handle 20 to be transmitted more evenly to the storage and transportation block body 10. Thus, when the storage and transportation block body 10 is rotated and raised by the handle 20, uneven force on the storage and transportation block body 10 due to the offset of the point of application of the force can be avoided, thereby ensuring the stability of the storage and transportation block body 10 during movement. The middle connection point helps to maintain the balance of the storage and transportation block body 10 during rotation and movement, reducing the possibility of tilting or swaying.
[0047] Further optimization involves an arc-shaped transition connection between the vertical segment 22 and the horizontal segment 21. This arc-shaped transition effectively avoids stress concentration at the connection point. Compared to right-angle or acute-angle connections, the arc-shaped transition allows for smoother force transfer between the vertical segment 22 and the horizontal segment 21, reducing the possibility of structural damage or fatigue cracks caused by stress concentration. This, in turn, improves the overall structural strength and service life of the handle component 20.
[0048] Further preferably, the end of the vertical segment 22 on the side away from the horizontal segment 21 extends axially beyond the lower abutment surface of the storage block body 10. This end, extending beyond the lower abutment surface, forms a physical barrier near the edge of the lower mold 50 when the storage block body 10 descends. When the storage block 1 rotates and descends, it needs to rotate outwards. The portion of the vertical segment 22 in the handle 20 that extends beyond the lower mold 50 will prevent the storage block body 10 from dislodging from the lower mold 50. Similarly, during the upward movement of the storage block 1, it maintains a certain constraint relationship with the lower mold 50, ensuring it does not dislodge from the lower mold 50.
[0049] Preferably, the storage and transportation block body 10 is a hollow columnar structure. This hollow columnar structure effectively reduces the weight of the storage and transportation block body 10 while ensuring a certain level of strength and rigidity. This makes the storage and transportation block 10 more convenient to handle and operate.
[0050] For further optimization, see Figures 7 to 9 This application also provides a stamping die 2, including: a feeding mechanism 30 for conveying a sheet material, specifically a robotic arm; an upper die 40 and a lower die 50, the lower die 50 for placing the sheet material to cooperate with the upper die 40 to stamp the sheet material; and a storage and transport block 1 as described above, the storage and transport block 1 being connected to the lower die 50.
[0051] Preferably, the stamping die 2 further includes a limiting member 60, which is fixedly connected to the lower die 50, and the limiting member 60, together with the lower die 50, surrounds and defines a limiting space 61. When the stamping die 2 is in production, the storage block 1 is suspended within the limiting space 61. The limiting member 60 and the lower die 50 work together to provide precise positioning for the storage block 1, ensuring it remains in a fixed position during die operation, preventing it from shaking or shifting arbitrarily, and ensuring that the normal operation of the stamping die 2 is not interfered with by the storage block 1. Simultaneously, the limiting space 61 isolates the storage block 1 from other moving parts of the die, preventing collisions or friction between the storage block 1 and other components during stamping, thereby protecting the storage block 1 from damage and extending its service life.
[0052] Furthermore, the setting of the limiting component 60 and the clearly defined limiting space 61 make it more convenient for operators to place and remove the storage block 1, enabling them to quickly and accurately place the storage block 1 in the designated position, improving operational efficiency, and facilitating unified management and maintenance of the stamping die 2 and its auxiliary components.
[0053] The storage block 1 is confined within the limiting space 61, which prevents it from accidentally coming out during the operation of the stamping die 2. This avoids potential safety accidents caused by the storage block 1 coming out, such as injury to operators or damage to equipment, and improves the safety of the entire stamping operation.
[0054] Furthermore, the lower die 50 is provided with an annular slot 51. When the stamping die 2 is in the storage state, the storage block 1 is embedded in the annular slot 51. In the storage state, that is, when the storage block 1 needs to be used, the storage block body 10 is embedded in the annular slot 51, which can make the fit between the storage block body 10 and the lower die 50 tighter, and further improve the stability of the storage block 1. The shape and size of the annular slot 51 match the storage block body 10, which can limit the storage block 1 from multiple directions, preferably preventing it from shifting in the horizontal direction, and ensuring that the stamping die 2 remains stable between the upper and lower dies 50 during storage.
[0055] Therefore, in the specific usage of the storage block 1 in this application, when the stamping die 2 is not performing a stamping operation, the storage block body 10 of the storage block 1 is embedded in the annular slot 51 to support the upper die 40 and the lower die 50. The handle 20 is embedded in the lower die 50 to limit the storage block body 10 and prevent it from shifting during use. When the stamping die 2 needs to perform a stamping operation, the feeding mechanism 30 located on both sides of the upper and lower dies 50 unfolds to both sides, providing space for the rotation and descent of the storage block 1. Specifically, in actual operation, an external robotic arm can be used to support the storage block body 10 to rotate and descend around the handle 20, allowing the storage block body 10 to enter the limiting space 61.
[0056] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application have been described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this application. Various changes and modifications can be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection claimed by this application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
