Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal sheet processing technology, and in particular to a positioning device for stamping metal sheets. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, metal sheets are mainly formed through forging, rolling or casting processes, and are widely used in various fields due to their performance advantages. Since different application scenarios have different requirements for the shape, precision and function of metal sheets, they often need to be stamped to achieve specific properties. Metal stamping is a forming process that uses a press and a die to apply external force to the sheet, causing it to undergo plastic deformation or separation, thereby obtaining a workpiece with the target shape and size.
[0003] However, existing metal sheet stamping equipment has significant technical bottlenecks in the positioning and fixing process: most equipment uses positioning pins or hydraulically driven grippers to achieve limiting; the positioning pin solution relies on pre-machined positioning holes in the sheet, which is only suitable for workpieces with regular shapes that allow drilling. This not only requires additional positioning hole machining processes, increasing production costs, but also requires manual alignment of the pins, increasing the workload of workers; although the hydraulic gripper solution can achieve automatic clamping, it requires a separate hydraulic station and other drive sources, resulting in increased energy consumption, inconvenience in use, and poor practicality.

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a positioning device for stamping metal sheets, including a base 1, a bracket 2 on the top of the base 1, and hydraulic cylinders 3 symmetrically arranged on the top of the bracket 2. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is connected to a punch 4 inside the bracket 2. A mold 5 is embedded in the top of the base 1, and a positioning and fixing mechanism is provided inside the bracket 2. The punch 4 is driven by the hydraulic cylinder 3 to realize the stamping action. The positioning and fixing mechanism includes a drive rod 6, which is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the fixing frame 7 and is located behind the hydraulic cylinder 3. The fixing frame 7 is symmetrically arranged on the top of the base 1. A rotating shaft 8 is rotatably installed on one side of the fixing frame 7, passing through the fixing frame 7. A gear 9 is sleeved on one end of the rotating shaft 8 near the drive rod 6. Several tooth grooves that are adapted to and mesh with the gear 9 are symmetrically opened on the outside of the drive rod 6. The hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the drive rod 6 to move up and down. The vertical motion is converted into the rotational motion of the rotating shaft 8 by the meshing of the gear 9 with the tooth grooves. The positioning and fixing mechanism can be driven without an additional power source, reducing energy consumption.
[0029] In this example, the positioning and fixing mechanism also includes a turntable 10, which is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 8 away from the gear 9. The turntable 10 is located on the side of the fixing frame 7 away from the gear 9. A groove 26 is provided at one end of the turntable 10, and a screw 11 is rotatably installed in the groove 26. A threaded slider 12 is sleeved on the outer side of the screw 11. One end of the screw 11 extends to the outside of the turntable 10 and is connected to a handle. A connecting rod 14 is rotatably connected to one side of the slider 12. A push rod 15 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 14. A support plate 17 is connected to one end of the push rod 15. A clamping plate 18 is provided on the side of the support plate 17 away from the push rod 15. The clamping plate 18 is symmetrically arranged near the guide rod 19. A guide rod 19 is provided, with one end of the guide rod 19 passing through the support plate 17 and connected to a stop block 20. A spring 21 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 19 between the support plate 17 and the stop block 20. A protective pad 22 is detachably installed on the side of the clamping plate 18 away from the support plate 17, and the protective pad 22 is connected to the clamping plate 18 through a connecting assembly. The combination of the turntable 10, screw 11 and slider 12 can be manually adjusted to the initial position of the clamping plate 18 to adapt to different specifications of plates. The spring 21 and the guide rod 19 form an elastic buffer structure to avoid rigid contact damage to the plates by the clamping plate 18, while improving clamping adaptability. The detachable protective pad 22 is easy to replace and maintain, and can be adapted to plates with different surface requirements.
[0030] In this example, a guide block 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push rod 15 away from the support plate 17. The top of the base 1 is symmetrically provided with guide grooves that are adapted to the guide block 16. The guide block 16 is T-shaped. The T-shaped guide block 16 cooperates with the guide groove to provide precise horizontal guidance for the push rod 15, ensure the straightness of the movement of the clamping plate 18, improve positioning accuracy and reduce shaking.
[0031] In this example, a limiting frame 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed frame 7. The limiting frame 13 is located outside the drive rod 6, and the upper end of the limiting frame 13 is fixedly connected to the bracket 2. The limiting frame 13 forms a vertical limiting constraint on the drive rod 6 to prevent it from deviating during movement and enhance the stability of the transmission mechanism.
[0032] In this example, the drive rod 6 has a U-shaped structure, while the fixed frame 7 and the limiting frame 13 both have L-shaped structures. The rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 7 via bearings. The U-shaped drive rod 6, together with the L-shaped fixed frame 7 and the limiting frame 13, forms a stable support structure. The bearing connection reduces the rotational resistance of the rotating shaft 8, thereby improving the smoothness of transmission and the lifespan of the mechanism.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in the example, the connecting component includes a fixing block 23, which is fixedly connected to the protective pad 22. One end of the fixing block 23 passes through the clamping plate 18. The top of the clamping plate 18 is provided with a magnetic groove 27, and a rod 24 is provided in the magnetic groove 27. The lower end of the rod 24 passes through the fixing block 23.
[0034] In this example, the protective pad 22 is made of rubber, and the upper end of the insertion rod 24 is connected to a magnetic handle 25 that is compatible with the magnetic groove 27, and the magnetic handle 25 is attracted to the inner wall of the magnetic groove 27; the magnetic connection between the magnetic groove 27 and the magnetic handle 25 enables the quick installation and removal of the protective pad 22, allowing for the replacement of worn parts without tools, thus improving maintenance efficiency; the rubber protective pad 22 provides a flexible clamping surface to prevent scratches on the surface of the board.
[0035] In use, the position of the slider 12 in the groove 26 on the turntable 10 is adjusted by rotating the screw 11. The spacing of the clamping plates 18 is adjusted to be greater than the width of the plate by the connecting rod 14 and the push rod 15, so that it moves to a suitable position. Then the plate is placed on the mold 5 and pre-positioned by the guide block 16 cooperating with the guide groove. In the stamping stage, the hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the punch 4 to move downward, which drives the drive rod 6 to move downward synchronously. Its tooth groove meshes with the gear 9 to make the rotating shaft 8 and the turntable 10 rotate. The slider 12 moves outward and drives the push rod 15 through the connecting rod 14, so that the clamping plate 18 clamps the plate. The spring 21 is compressed to provide elastic clamping force. Then the punch 4 completes the stamping. In the reset and unloading stage, the hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the punch 4 to move downward, which drives the push rod 15 through the connecting rod 14, so that the clamping plate 18 clamps the plate. The spring 21 is compressed to provide elastic clamping force. Then the punch 4 completes the stamping. The pressure cylinder 3 drives the punch 4 and drive rod 6 to move upward, the gear 9 rotates in the opposite direction to reset the turntable 10, and the clamping plate 18 is released under the elastic force of the spring 21, so that the plate can be taken out, realizing the automatic positioning and clamping of the plate during the stamping process; the device can be linked with the force of the hydraulic cylinder 3 driving the punch 4 to move up and down, so that it drives the clamping plate 18 to move and clamp and fix the plate, so that it does not need to set up a separate power source, reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the position of the slider 12 can be adjusted according to the plate specifications to change the position of the clamping plate 18, so as to adapt to different plate clamping and fixing, thereby improving its applicability. Through the connecting components, the protective pad 22 can be easily and quickly disassembled and replaced.

Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical description of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
