The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0062] Some embodiments of this application are described in detail. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0063] Example

[0064] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides a stamping apparatus 1000, which includes an upper die 100, a lower die 200, and a feeding device 300. The lower die 200 is fitted to the upper die 100. The lower die 200 has a riveting position 201. The feeding device 300 is used to transfer the target part 10 to the corresponding riveting position 201 (see...). Figure 3 At the location ), and during mold closing, the target part 10 falls with gravity and is transferred to the riveting position 201.

[0065] In this embodiment, the upper mold 100 is fitted with the lower mold 200, and after mold closing, a workpiece with the target part 10 riveted on it can be obtained.

[0066] In this embodiment, the stamping equipment 1000 is an equipment that needs to perform a die-closing operation to obtain a workpiece with the target part 10 riveted on it.

[0067] In this embodiment, the stamping equipment 1000 operates continuously. The feeding device 300 transfers the target part 10 to the corresponding riveting position 201. As the upper and lower dies 200 close, the target part 10 falls freely to the riveting position 201 and is riveted after the dies are closed, forming a workpiece with the target part 10 riveted. Then, the workpiece with the target part is taken out and re-fed and riveted to continuously perform the operation.

[0068] See Figures 2 to 7In this embodiment, the feeding device 300 includes a base assembly 11, a feeding assembly 12, and a pushing assembly 13. The base assembly 11 has a feeding hole 115, a first channel 116, and a second channel 117. The second channel 117 communicates with the first channel 116 in a communicating region 118, and the extending direction of the second channel 117 intersects the extending direction of the first channel 116 perpendicularly or obliquely. The feeding hole 115 is connected to the end of the second channel 117 away from the first channel 116. The feeding assembly 12 is used to move the target part 10 from the end of the first channel 116 away from the second channel 117 to the communicating region 118. The pushing assembly 13 is used to push the target part 10 from the communicating region 118 to the corresponding feeding hole 115.

[0069] In some existing technologies, the feeding device has a channel that directly transports the target part to the material hole through the feeding component. However, the feeding component is prone to jamming when multiple target parts are transported to the material hole, or the target parts may fail to be transported to the material hole, resulting in leakage. This results in poor stability.

[0070] In this embodiment, the feeding component 12 transports the target part 10 from the first channel 116 to the connecting area 118, and the pushing component 13 transports the target part 10 from the connecting area 118 along the second channel 117 to the corresponding material hole 115. In this way, one target part 10 can be transported to the corresponding material hole 115 at a time, reducing the occurrence of material leakage and jamming, and improving the feeding efficiency and stability.

[0071] In the embodiments of this application, by setting up a connected first channel 116 and a second channel 117, the target part 10 is transferred to the connected area 118, and then the target part 10 is pushed to the corresponding material hole 115 by the pusher component 13. This achieves the effect of transferring the target part 10 one by one, making it less likely to cause material leakage, jamming, or inaccurate feeding, and improving the efficiency and stability of feeding.

[0072] In this embodiment, the base assembly 11 includes a base plate 111, two first mounting blocks 113, and a second mounting block 114. The base plate 111 has a mounting groove 112. The two first mounting blocks 113 are mounted in the mounting groove 112 at intervals, and a first channel 116 is defined between the two first mounting blocks 113. The second mounting block 114 is mounted in the mounting groove 112, and the end faces of the second mounting block 114 are spaced apart and opposite to those of the first mounting blocks 113, and are respectively located on both sides of the second channel 117.

[0073] In this embodiment, two first mounting blocks 113 are spaced apart to form a first channel 116. The first mounting blocks 113 and the second mounting blocks 114 are spaced apart and located on both sides of the second channel 117. The first channel 116 and the second channel 117 are connected by a connecting area 118. The target part 10 is transported to the connecting area 118 through the first channel 116, and then, after turning, reaches the corresponding material hole 115 through the second channel 117. This facilitates the sequential transport of the target part 10 to the corresponding material hole 115, reduces the occurrence of material leakage, jamming, or inaccurate feeding, and improves the efficiency of feeding.

[0074] In this embodiment, the target component 10 includes a head 101 and a column segment 102, with the head 101 connected to the column segment 102. A first mounting block 113 has a first surface 1131 and a first stepped surface 1132, with the two first surfaces 1131 facing each other and engaging with the column segment 102. The two first stepped surfaces 1132 are flush to support both sides of the head 101.

[0075] In this embodiment, the target component 10 is a screw.

[0076] In other embodiments, the target part may also be other parts that need to be riveted to the workpiece.

[0077] In this embodiment, the target part 10 is fitted to the first surface 1131 by the column segment 102, and the head 101 is supported on the first step surface 1132, which reduces the problem of inaccurate direction of the target part 10 during feeding, and at the same time facilitates the target part 10 to enter the connected area 118 in sequence to achieve turning.

[0078] In this embodiment, the first mounting block 113 has a first end face 1133 and a second stepped surface 1134. The first end face 1133 is disposed on the side of the first mounting block 113 facing the second mounting block 114. The second stepped surface 1134 is used to support the head 101. The second mounting block 114 has a second surface 1141, which is disposed on the side of the second mounting block 114 facing the first mounting block 113 and is opposite to the first end face 1133. The feeding device 300 also includes a clamping assembly 14, which includes two clamping blocks 141. Each clamping block 141 has a clamping surface 142. The two clamping blocks 141 are respectively engaged with the first mounting block 113 and the second mounting block 114, so that the two clamping surfaces 142 are respectively engaged with the first end face 1133 and the second surface 1141, thereby jointly forming the second channel 117. The feed hole 115 is recessed into the bottom surface of the mounting groove 112 at one end of the second channel 117 away from the first channel 116 and passes through the substrate 111.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first mounting block 113, the second mounting block 114, and the two clamping blocks 141 together form the second channel 117. The target part 10 is transported in the second channel 117 and clamped by the two clamping blocks 141 at the corresponding material hole 115. The transport operation in the second channel 117 is simple. The target part 10 can be transported to the corresponding material hole 115 by pushing the block 131. It can also realize sequential feeding, which improves feeding efficiency and stability.

[0080] In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 12 includes an air blowing assembly 121, which is disposed at one end of the first channel 116 away from the second channel 117. The air blowing assembly 121 can blow air along the first channel 116 to move the target part 10 along the first channel 116 to the connecting area 118.

[0081] In this embodiment, the air blowing assembly 121 includes an air blowing port corresponding to the first channel 116, and blows air toward the connecting area 118 so that the target component 10 can move along the first channel 116 to the connecting area 118.

[0082] In some existing technologies, the feeding device has only one channel, and the air blowing component directly moves the target part to the material hole. When the target part is transported to the material hole, it is difficult to maintain free fall, which leads to inaccurate feeding.

[0083] In this embodiment, the first channel 116 can accommodate multiple target components 10. Under the action of the air blowing assembly 121, the multiple target components 10 are arranged sequentially on the side of the first channel 116 near the connecting area 118. When one target component 10 leaves the connecting area 118, the remaining multiple target components 10 can continue to move to the connecting area 118. In this way, sequential feeding can be achieved, which is beneficial to improving feeding efficiency.

[0084] In this embodiment, the pusher assembly 13 includes a pusher block 131, which is slidably fitted into the second channel 117. The end face of the pusher block 131 facing the material hole 115 is recessed with a V-shaped groove 132, which is configured to fit into the outer peripheral surface of the column segment 102.

[0085] In this embodiment, the end face of the pusher 131 is fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the column segment 102 so that the pusher 131 can transfer the target part 10 to the corresponding material hole 115.

[0086] In this embodiment, the pusher block 131 pushes the target part 10 to engage with the clamping assembly 14, and the clamping assembly 14 clamps the target part 10 at the corresponding material hole 115. When the mold is closed, the clamping assembly 14 releases its grip on the target part 10, allowing the target part 10 to fall freely and be conveyed to the riveting position 201, reducing the occurrence of inaccurate feeding.

[0087] In other embodiments, the end face of the pusher 131 may also be configured as other shapes that can fit the outer peripheral surface of the column segment 102.

[0088] In this embodiment, the pusher assembly 13 further includes a cylinder, which is used to support the pusher block 131 to move the target part 10 to the corresponding material hole 115.

[0089] In this embodiment, the feeding device 300 further includes a cover plate 15, which cooperates with the first channel 116 and the second channel 117 to confine the target piece 10 within the first channel 116 and the second channel 117.

[0090] In this embodiment, the cover plate 15 is fitted into a portion of the first channel 116 to confine the target piece 10 within the first channel 116. The cover plate 15 is also fitted into a portion of the second channel 117 so that when the pusher assembly 13 pushes the target piece 10, the target piece 10 can be confined within the second channel 117 and not come out, reducing the problem of material leakage.

[0091] In this embodiment, the feeding device 300 further includes a storage component 16 and a transfer component 17. The storage component 16 is used to store a plurality of target parts 10. The transfer component 17 is used to transfer the plurality of target parts 10 sequentially from the storage component 16 into the first channel 116.

[0092] In this embodiment, the storage component 16 is a vibratory feeder used to store multiple target components 10. The storage component 16 is used in conjunction with the transfer component 17, which can transfer the target components 10 in the storage component 16 into the first channel 116.

[0093] In this embodiment, the transfer component 17 is a material distribution block, which can cooperate with the material storage component 16 to transfer the target part 10 to the first channel 116.

[0094] In this embodiment, the base assembly 11 has multiple material holes 115. The feeding device 300 includes multiple sets of first channels 116, second channels 117, feeding components 12 and pushing components 13, with each set of first channels 116, second channels 117, feeding components 12 and pushing components 13 cooperating with one material hole 115.

[0095] In this embodiment, multiple sets of first channels 116, second channels 117, feeding components 12 and pushing components 13 are combined with a set of storage components 16 and transfer components 17. The transfer components 17 have multiple dispensing ports, which transfer multiple target parts 10 into multiple first channels 116.

[0096] In summary, this application, by setting up a first channel 116 and a second channel 117 extending in two directions respectively, and a connecting area 118 connecting the first channel 116 and the second channel 117, and cooperating with the feeding component 12 and the pushing component 13, enables the target part 10 to move within the first channel 116 to the connecting area 118 under the drive of the feeding component 12, and then be transferred by the pushing component 13 along the second channel 117 to the corresponding material hole 115. In this way, the target part 10 can be sequentially conveyed to the material hole 115, reducing the occurrence of material leakage, jamming and inaccurate feeding, and improving the efficiency and stability of feeding.
