[0026] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a high-efficiency stamping and forming device for pharmaceutical aluminum caps, including a main component 10. The main component 10 includes a base 11, a support plate 12, a through groove 13, a lower template 14, a first electric guide rail 15, a first motor 16, a bracket 17, a second motor 18, a brush 19, a controller 110, a support column 111, a hydraulic cylinder 112, and an upper template 113.

[0029] A support plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 11. Two through slots 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support plate 12. A lower template 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 12. Two first electric guide rails 15 are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the base 11. A first motor 16 is symmetrically installed on the base 11. A bracket 17 is slidably connected between the two first electric guide rails 15. A second motor 18 is installed at one end of the bracket 17. A brush 19 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bracket 17. A controller 110 is installed on the front surface of the base 11. A support is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the base 11. A support column 111 is supported, and a hydraulic cylinder 112 is mounted on top of the support column 111. An upper template 113 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 112. A controller 110 is electrically connected to a motor to control the motor's operating state and complete the automatic stamping operation. Under the control of the controller 110, the hydraulic cylinder 112 drives the upper template 113 downwards at a speed of 50 mm / s, applying a stamping pressure of 500 kN to the upper template 113. This causes the raw aluminum material placed in the processing station of the lower template 14 to undergo plastic deformation under pressure, thereby completing the stamping of the pharmaceutical aluminum cap. By reasonably setting the stamping pressure and speed, the forming quality and production efficiency of the aluminum cap are ensured.

[0030] A loading and unloading assembly 20 is provided on one side of the main component 10.

[0031] In this embodiment, specifically: the base 11 has an internal hollow structure, a door is installed on the base 11, and a waste collection box can be placed inside the base 11 to facilitate the recycling of cleaned aluminum waste and reduce resource waste. The door is designed to make it easy to open the base 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, specifically: one end of the brush 19 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 18, and the brush 19 is driven to rotate by the second motor 18 to clean the table and workstation.

[0033] In this embodiment, specifically: the loading and unloading assembly 20 includes a mounting base 21, a third motor 22, and a conveyor belt 23;

[0034] A third motor 22 is installed on one side of the mounting base 21, and a conveyor belt 23 is installed on the inner side wall of the mounting base 21. When the third motor 22 is working, it drives the conveyor belt 23 to move and transport the raw aluminum material of the pharmaceutical aluminum cap.

[0035] In this embodiment, specifically: the mounting base 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the base 11. The mounting base 21 is used to support the internal conveyor belt 23. A laser sensor is installed inside the mounting base 21 to detect whether the aluminum material is in place. The laser sensor is connected to the controller 110 and automatically sends a position signal.

[0036] In this embodiment, specifically: a second electric guide rail 24 is symmetrically installed on the inner side wall of the base 11, and a fourth motor 25 is installed on the second electric guide rail 24. The operation of the fourth motor 25 drives the second electric guide rail 24 to move the vacuum plate 28 above the lower template 14 to complete the loading operation. When unloading, the above steps are performed in the opposite direction.

[0037] In this embodiment, specifically, a sliding rod 26 is slidably connected between the two second electric guide rails 24.

[0038] In this embodiment, specifically: an electric telescopic rod 27 is installed on the top of the sliding rod 26, a vacuum plate 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 27, and material suction nozzles 29 are evenly installed on the bottom of the vacuum plate 28. The vacuum plate 28 is connected to a vacuum generating device (not shown in the figure). The vacuum generating device works to generate negative pressure inside the material suction nozzles 29 to suck up aluminum material.

[0039] A vacuum generating device is a apparatus capable of creating a vacuum environment, typically employing a vacuum pump or vacuum generator. In this apparatus, the vacuum generating device is connected to a vacuum plate 28. When the device operates, it extracts air from the vacuum plate 28 and the material-feeding nozzle 29, creating a negative pressure state. This negative pressure generates suction, allowing the material-feeding nozzle 29 to firmly grasp the raw aluminum material for the pharmaceutical aluminum cap, achieving automatic feeding. When it is necessary to release the aluminum material, the vacuum generating device is stopped, the negative pressure inside the material-feeding nozzle 29 disappears, and the aluminum material can be placed in the designated position.

[0040] In operation, the following steps are taken: The third motor 22 operates, driving the conveyor belt 23 to move and transport the raw aluminum material for the pharmaceutical aluminum cap. After the aluminum material is transported to the correct position, the electric telescopic rod 27 operates, moving the vacuum plate 28 closer to the conveyor belt 23. A vacuum generator connected to the vacuum plate 28 operates, using a material suction nozzle 29 to pick up the raw material. The fourth motor 25 operates, driving the second electric guide rail 24 to move the vacuum plate 28 above the lower template 14 and place the raw aluminum material into the processing position of the lower template 14. The vacuum plate 28 resets, and the hydraulic cylinder 112 drives the upper template 113 downwards, completing the stamping of the aluminum cap. After forming, the upper template 113 opens, the material suction nozzle 29 moves again, removes the aluminum cap, and places it on the conveyor belt 23. The first motor 16 operates, driving the first electric guide rail 15 to move the support 17. Simultaneously, the second motor 18 drives the brush 19 to rotate, cleaning the worktable and workstation to achieve continuous production.

[0041] Automatic loading and unloading operations are completed through the loading and unloading assembly 20. The hydraulic cylinder 112 works to automatically perform the stamping operation. Multiple material suction nozzles 29 and stamping stations are set up at the same time, which can complete the production of multiple pharmaceutical aluminum caps at one time, thus improving production efficiency.

[0042] This device is equipped with 8 material suction nozzles 29 and 8 stamping stations. Through reasonable layout and coordination of the control system, it can simultaneously perform material feeding, stamping and forming operations on 8 raw aluminum materials. Compared with traditional single-station stamping and forming devices, the production efficiency is increased by about 8 times.

[0043] This high-efficiency stamping and forming device for pharmaceutical aluminum caps is equipped with a comprehensive electrical safety protection system. All electrical components have excellent insulation performance and grounding protection to prevent electric shock to operators. The hydraulic cylinder 112 is equipped with an overload protection device. When the stamping pressure exceeds the set safety threshold, the overload protection device will automatically cut off the power source of the hydraulic cylinder to avoid equipment damage and safety accidents. During equipment operation, protective railings and safety doors are installed around the stamping area to prevent operators from accidentally contacting dangerous areas. Simultaneously, the device also has a fault alarm system. When critical components such as the motor, hydraulic cylinder, and vacuum generator malfunction, the alarm system will issue audible and visual alarm signals and display fault information on the display screen of the controller 110, prompting operators to promptly check and handle the problem. Furthermore, the device has data recording and storage functions, capable of recording equipment operating parameters and fault information, facilitating later maintenance and analysis.

[0044] To ensure the normal operation and production efficiency of the high-efficiency stamping and forming device for pharmaceutical aluminum caps, regular maintenance and upkeep of each component are necessary. The first electric guide rail 15 and the second electric guide rail 24 should be lubricated monthly with an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to reduce friction and wear between the guide rails and sliding parts. The brush 19 should be inspected for wear every three months, and replaced promptly when the bristles are severely worn and affect the cleaning effect. The software system of the controller 110 should be updated and maintained regularly, with timely patching of software vulnerabilities, optimization of equipment control algorithms, and improvement of system stability and production efficiency. Simultaneously, regular checks should be conducted on the connections of each component for looseness, electrical wiring for damage, and the hydraulic system for oil leaks; any problems should be addressed promptly.

[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
