Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technology of mesh cover production and processing, and in particular to a rotary punching die for forming cylindrical mesh covers. Background Technology

[0002] Speaker grilles are important components of audio equipment. Depending on the design focus of the audio system, the function of the grille varies. In summary, there are several key points: 1. Speaker grilles primarily serve a decorative purpose; audio systems are often home furnishings, and aesthetics are important. 2. Speaker grilles provide dust protection. The grille traps most dust, protecting the speaker and making it easy to clean with a soft brush. 3. Speaker grilles protect the speaker cone from accidental impacts, prevent children from accidentally hitting the cone, and prevent spills like tea. 4. They filter out sharp noises. In relatively quiet environments, the ear is sensitive to subtle, sharp noises. For low-power home speakers, a grille can filter out some of these noises, with minimal impact on mid- and low-frequency frequencies.

[0003] Currently, cylindrical speaker grilles are used for cylindrical audio equipment. Existing technology involves punching mesh holes in a flat sheet of material, then rolling and assembling the sheet to form the cylindrical grille. This forming method is prone to mesh deformation during the rolling process, failing to meet usage requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to research a solution to address these problems.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, including a lower mold 10 and an upper mold 20.

[0045] The lower mold 10 includes a base 11, a movable positioning seat 12, a drive mechanism 13, and a transmission mechanism 14 for rotating the cylindrical mesh cover 30. The base 11 has a support portion 111 for supporting the cylindrical mesh cover 30. The support portion 111 is suspended and extends horizontally back and forth. The support portion 111 is cylindrical, and its top has multiple punched slots 101. The movable positioning seat 12 is movably mounted on the base 11 and located directly in front of the support portion 111. The drive mechanism 13 is mounted on the base 11 and drives the movable positioning seat 12 to move back and forth, approaching or moving away from the support portion 111. The transmission mechanism 14 is located inside the base 11, and its output end protrudes from the front end face of the support portion 111. Specifically:

[0046] The base 11 has a sliding groove 102 and a guide groove 103, both extending forward and backward. The supporting portion 111 has a discharge groove 104. Multiple punched grooves 101 are located above and communicate with the discharge groove 104. A discharge port 105 is located below and communicates with the discharge groove 104 at the bottom of the base 11. Furthermore, a guide hole 106 is recessed at the top of the base 11 and communicates with the sliding groove 102.

[0047] The movable positioning seat 12 is slidably installed in the guide groove 103 and moves back and forth along the guide groove 103. The movable positioning seat 12 is used to prevent the cylindrical mesh cover 30 from moving forward and falling out.

[0048] The drive mechanism 13 is a drive cylinder, which can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, etc. The drive mechanism 13 has a piston rod 131, which extends rearward, and the tail end of the piston rod 131 is fixedly connected to the movable positioning seat 12.

[0049] The transmission mechanism 14 includes a transmission shaft 141, a connecting plate 142, a transmission gear 143, and a push rod 144. The transmission shaft 141 is rotatably disposed within the base 11 and suspended in the discharge trough 104, extending horizontally back and forth. The connecting plate 142 is fixedly connected to the front end of the transmission shaft 141 and protrudes from the front end face of the bearing portion 111, and the connecting plate 142 is driven to rotate by the transmission shaft 141. The transmission gear 143 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the transmission shaft 141 and drives the transmission shaft 141 to rotate. The push rod 144 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 102, and the push rod 144 drives the transmission gear 143 to rotate unidirectionally. In this embodiment, the periphery of the surface of the connecting plate 142 is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 107 that mate with the positioning holes 31 on the cylindrical mesh cover 30, and the plurality of positioning posts 107 extend forward. The transmission gear 143 is a one-way gear. The bottom of the push rod 144 has a first tooth 108, the orientation of which is opposite to that of the teeth of the one-way gear. The first tooth 108 moves back and forth, intermittently rotating the one-way gear, so that the cylindrical mesh cover 30 rotates at the same angle each time. The front end of the push rod 144 is provided with a first inclined surface 109. Furthermore, the rear end of the slide groove 102 is provided with an elastic reset member 145 that causes the push rod 144 to slide forward and reset. The elastic reset member 145 can be a reset spring or the like, and is not limited thereto. Additionally, the base 11 is provided with an anti-rotation member 15 that can move elastically up and down to prevent the transmission gear 143 from reversing. The top of the anti-rotation member 15 has a second tooth 151, the orientation of which is opposite to that of the teeth of the one-way gear and engages with it to effectively prevent the transmission gear 143 from reversing.

[0050] The upper die 20 is movably positioned directly above the lower die 10. The upper die 20 includes an upper die base 21 and multiple punch pins 22. The punch pins 22 are disposed within the upper die base 21 and movably protrude downwards from the bottom surface of the upper die base 21. The punch pins 22 are respectively located directly above multiple punching slots 101. The upper die base 21 is provided with a trigger element 23 for triggering the input end of the transmission mechanism 14. In this embodiment, the trigger element 23 acts on the push rod 144, causing the push rod 144 to move backward. Furthermore, the trigger element 23 is adapted to the guide hole 106, and the trigger element 23 moves up and down along the guide hole 106 to move away from or towards the push rod 144. Additionally, the lower end of the trigger element 23 is provided with a second inclined surface 231, which engages and abuts against the first inclined surface 109.

[0051] The working principle of this embodiment is described in detail below:

[0052] First, install the mold onto the punch press, fix the lower die 10 to the press base, install and connect the upper die 20 to the punch press's stamping mechanism, and connect the drive mechanism 13 to the press's control system. Next, start the punch press. The stamping mechanism drives the upper die 20 upwards, separating it from the lower die 10. The drive mechanism 13 then drives the movable positioning seat 12 forward, away from the support portion 111. Next, the cylindrical mesh cover 30, without perforations on its outer periphery, is fitted onto the support portion 111 from front to back. After fitting, the positioning pin 107 engages with the positioning hole 31 on the cylindrical mesh cover 30. At this point, the transmission mechanism 14 drives the cylindrical mesh cover 30 to rotate on the support portion 111. Then, the drive mechanism 13... The movable positioning seat 12 is moved backward, so that the movable positioning seat 12 approaches the cylindrical mesh cover 30 and blocks and positions the cylindrical mesh cover 30. Then, the stamping mechanism drives the upper mold 20 to move downward, so that the upper mold 20 and the lower mold 10 are closed. During the mold closing process, the trigger 23 is first inserted into the guide hole 106. The trigger 23 causes the push rod 144 to move backward. Then, the push rod 144 moves the transmission gear 143 to rotate by a fixed angle. Then, the transmission shaft 141 drives and drives the connecting plate 142 to rotate by a fixed angle. Finally, the cylindrical mesh cover 30 is rotated by an angle on the bearing part 111. When the mold is closed, the multiple punching needles 22 can punch out mesh holes 32 in the local position of the cylindrical mesh cover 30 that has not been punched. Next, the stamping mechanism drives the upper die 20 to move upward, causing the upper die 20 to separate from the lower die 10. During the separation process, the multiple punching pins 22 first leave the lower die 10, then the trigger 23 leaves the lower die 10, and then the push rod 144 is reset forward and leaves the transmission gear 143 under the action of the elastic reset member 145. Then, the mold closing and opening are repeated multiple times. In each mold closing process, the transmission mechanism 14 first drives the cylindrical mesh cover 30 to rotate a fixed angle before punching, and so on until the punching is completed on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical mesh cover 30. After the cylindrical mesh cover 30 is punched, and after the last mold opening, the drive mechanism 13 drives the movable positioning seat 12 to move forward and leave the support part 111. Then, the cylindrical mesh cover 30 with completed punching is pulled forward out of the support part 111.

[0053] The key design feature of this invention is that by using a trigger to intermittently operate the transmission mechanism, and then using the transmission mechanism to intermittently rotate the cylindrical mesh cover at a fixed angle, the punching needle directly punches the cylindrical mesh cover, replacing the traditional method of punching first and then rolling. This mold can directly punch the cylindrical mesh cover, the mesh holes are less likely to deform, the product molding quality is better, and it meets the needs of use.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
