Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gap press technology, and more specifically, to a dual-station gap press. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, the requirements for efficiency, precision and quality of material processing are increasing. Traditional material processing methods, such as material feeding, gap pressing and finished product storage, are particularly important. Gap press is a device used to perform gap pressing processing on materials and is widely used in industrial production.
[0003] During material grabbing and movement, manual operation makes it difficult to achieve fast and accurate positioning, which prolongs the material flow time between workstations and reduces overall production efficiency. For material gap pressing, manual operation makes it difficult to accurately control pressure and position, resulting in the pressed product gap not meeting the standard and a high scrap rate. At the same time, the tooling tray is prone to displacement during processing, which in turn causes the material to shift, making subsequent processing operations difficult to perform accurately. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the problems and defects in the prior art, this utility model provides a dual-station gap press to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a dual-station gap press, comprising a gap press housing, wherein a press worktable is installed inside the gap press housing, and a support housing is installed at the bottom of the press worktable;
[0006] The top of the gap press box is equipped with a tooling tray, a finished product tray, a first feeding station plate and a second feeding station plate from left to right. A tooling tray bin is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tooling tray, and a finished product bin is fixedly installed at the bottom of the finished product tray.
[0007] A first clamping cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the press workbench, and a second clamping cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the press workbench near the first clamping cylinder. A moving material handling mechanism is provided on the top of the press workbench, and a gap pressing mechanism is provided on the front side of the press workbench.
[0008] Preferably, the moving material handling mechanism includes an electric slide table, which is fixedly installed inside the gap press housing, and a moving plate is slidably connected to the front side of the electric slide table.
[0009] Preferably, an upper and lower cylinder is fixedly installed on the front side of the movable plate, and a gripper cylinder is fixedly installed on the front side of the upper and lower cylinders.
[0010] Preferably, a correction cylinder is provided on one side of the gripper cylinder, and the correction cylinder is fixedly installed on the front side of the moving plate.
[0011] Preferably, the gap-pressing mechanism includes a vertically moving cylinder, which is disposed on the top of the support housing, and a material pressing needle is fixedly installed on one side of the vertically moving cylinder.
[0012] Preferably, a tooling seat assembly is installed at the bottom of the material pressing needle, and the tooling seat assembly is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the gap press box.
[0013] Preferably, a plurality of support feet are evenly fixed around the bottom of the support housing.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. Through automated feeding, gripping, correction, gap closing, and finished product storage processes, manual intervention is reduced, significantly improving production efficiency. The coordinated work of the moving material handling mechanism and the gap closing mechanism ensures rapid and accurate material processing, reducing the production cycle. Precise gripping, correction, and gap closing operations reduce material loss during processing and improve material utilization. The dual-station design allows the equipment to process two materials simultaneously. While one station is performing gap closing operations, the other station can simultaneously perform feeding or unloading operations. This parallel processing method significantly improves the equipment's production efficiency and reduces the production cycle.
[0016] 2. The first and second clamping cylinders ensure the precise positioning of the tooling tray, preventing material deviation during processing. The correction cylinder automatically corrects the material position after gripping the material, ensuring the placement accuracy of the material before the gap is pressed, and reducing product quality problems caused by positional deviation.

A material pressing needle 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the up-and-down moving cylinder 17. A tooling seat assembly 19 is installed at the bottom of the material pressing needle 18. The tooling seat assembly 19 is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the gap press housing 1 to facilitate pressing the material gap.
[0029] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown, multiple support feet 20 are evenly fixed around the bottom of the support housing 3 to ensure the stability of the overall device.
[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the tooling tray 4 is used to store the material to be processed, and the finished product tray 5 is used to store the material after processing. The tooling tray 4 has a tooling tray compartment 8 fixed at the bottom, and the finished product tray 5 has a finished product material compartment 9 fixed at the bottom. The material is initially positioned and loaded by the first loading station plate 6 and the second loading station plate 7. The material enters the processing flow through the loading station plate. The first clamping cylinder 10 and the second clamping cylinder 11 extend when the tooling tray 4 moves to the loading station to clamp the tooling tray to achieve precise positioning.
[0031] The moving material handling mechanism includes an electric slide table 12, a moving plate 13, an up-and-down cylinder 14, a gripper cylinder 15, and a correction cylinder 16.
