Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hard disk casing manufacturing technology, specifically to a stamping die for hard disk casing production that facilitates rapid material unloading and collection. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, solid-state drives (SSDs) have gradually become the mainstream in the storage device market due to their advantages such as fast read / write speeds, low power consumption, and small size, and are widely used in computers, mobile phones, servers, and other fields. As a crucial component of SSDs, the quality and performance of the hard drive casing directly affect the overall performance and lifespan of the drive. Stamping, a processing method that uses molds to plastically deform materials, plays a vital role in hard drive casing production. By rationally designing the molds, allowing the workpiece to undergo plastic deformation under pressure, hard drive casings that meet the requirements can be manufactured efficiently and precisely.
[0003] The patented solid-state drive (SSD) casing mold, disclosed in patent CN221018336U, utilizes a positioning and pushing mechanism linked to a cylinder. When the rack moves downwards, rack one drives gear one to rotate, which in turn drives rack two to push the clamping seat and clamping plate, securing the workpiece and preventing displacement during stamping, thus ensuring processing quality. Simultaneously, it drives the push plate to move backwards, placing the unprocessed workpiece in front of it. When rack one moves upwards, it drives the push plate forward, pushing the unprocessed workpiece and ejecting the stamped workpiece. This allows for continuous stamping, is convenient to use, and yields a higher product qualification rate. Furthermore, the position of rack two and clamping seat can be adjusted as needed via an adjustment component, making it suitable for different workpiece specifications and broadening its applicability.
[0004] While the aforementioned solid-state drive casing mold achieves rapid replacement of unprocessed and stamped workpieces through a pusher plate that moves forward, enabling continuous stamping, some shortcomings still warrant further optimization and improvement. For example, although a pusher plate is designed to push unprocessed workpieces under the stamping machine, placing new unprocessed workpieces in front of the pusher plate still requires manual intervention. Similarly, after stamping, although the pusher plate can move the stamped workpieces out of the workstation, subsequent collection and processing still require manual intervention. This means that workers need to continuously manually load and unload materials during production, limiting the automation level of the production line and hindering further improvements in production efficiency and cost reduction.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a stamping die for the production of hard disk casings that facilitates rapid material unloading and collection to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stamping die for the production of hard disk casings that facilitates rapid material unloading and collection, thereby solving the problems mentioned above.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a stamping die for producing hard disk casings that facilitates rapid material unloading and collection, comprising a worktable, a stamping station located at the center of the top of the worktable, and a first belt conveyor and a second belt conveyor respectively installed on both sides of the top of the worktable. The first and second belt conveyors are symmetrically distributed about the stamping station. The input end of the first belt conveyor extends outside the worktable, and the output end of the first belt conveyor is located on one side of the stamping station. The input end of the second belt conveyor is located on the other side of the stamping station, and the output end of the second belt conveyor extends to the outside of the workbench. A loading bracket and a controller are installed on the front of the workbench. An electric push rod is installed on the top of the loading bracket. A push plate is installed on the working end of the electric push rod. The push plate, the output end of the first belt conveyor, the stamping station, and the input end of the second belt conveyor are all located on the same straight line. The first belt conveyor, the second belt conveyor, and the electric push rod are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0008] By setting up No. 1 and No. 2 belt conveyors and electric push rods, automatic feeding and unloading operations were achieved in the hard disk casing production process, which improved production efficiency, reduced manual intervention, and made the production line more automated and efficient.
[0009] Preferably, an infrared ranging sensor is installed on the top of the workbench near the output end of the first belt conveyor, and the infrared ranging sensor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0010] The introduction of infrared ranging sensors can accurately detect the position of the workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece can be moved precisely to the side of the stamping station.
[0011] Preferably, a fixed bracket is installed on the top of the workbench, and a stamping machine is installed at the middle position of the top of the fixed bracket. The stamping machine is electrically connected to the controller, and the working end of the stamping machine extends to the bottom of the fixed bracket. A stamping die head is installed at the bottom of the working end of the stamping machine, and the stamping die head is located directly above the stamping station.
[0012] The fixed support and the stamping machine provide a stable foundation for the stamping operation, ensuring that the stamping die can accurately stamp the workpiece.
[0013] Preferably, a pusher frame is fixedly connected to the working end surface of the stamping machine. The pusher frame is located directly above the stamping die head, and its two ends are respectively suspended on both sides of the stamping die head.
[0014] As the stamping press pushes the stamping die head downwards to stamp, it can also drive the pusher frame to move downwards together.
[0015] Preferably, two wedge-shaped abutment blocks are symmetrically arranged on the top of the workbench about the stamping station. The two wedge-shaped abutment blocks are respectively located below the two ends of the push frame. The bottom of both ends of the push frame is designed as an inclined surface, and the inclined surface of the bottom of both ends of the push frame matches the slope of the two wedge-shaped abutment blocks respectively.
[0016] The wedge-shaped abutment block matches the inclined surface at the bottom of the push frame, which can effectively push the wedge-shaped abutment block to move during the stamping process, thereby clamping the workpiece and preventing the workpiece from shifting or shaking during the stamping process.
[0017] Preferably, both ends of the push frame are rotatably connected to sliding rollers, the top of the worktable is provided with a limiting groove, the bottom of the wedge-shaped abutment block is fixedly connected to a limiting slider, and the limiting slider is slidably connected to the limiting groove.
[0018] The use of sliding rollers reduces friction between the pusher frame and the wedge-shaped abutment block, making the pushing process smoother; the matching design of the limit slider and the limit groove allows the wedge-shaped abutment block to move smoothly.
[0019] Preferably, a guide rod is provided inside the limiting slide groove. One end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the limiting slider, and the other end of the guide rod extends to the outside of the worktable and is threadedly connected to a baffle. A return spring is movably sleeved on the surface of the end of the guide rod located outside the worktable. One end of the return spring abuts against the worktable, and the other end of the return spring abuts against the baffle.
[0020] The combined design of the guide rod, baffle, and return spring not only provides stable guidance for the movement of the wedge-shaped abutment block, but also enables it to automatically reset after stamping, preparing for the next stamping operation and improving the automation and reliability of the equipment.
[0021] Preferably, a clamping block is fixedly connected to each of the two wedge-shaped abutment blocks on opposite sides, and a rubber anti-slip pad is installed on the clamping surface of each of the two clamping blocks.
[0022] The introduction of rubber anti-slip pads further enhances the stability of the workpiece during the stamping process, preventing the workpiece from slipping or shaking and affecting the stamping quality, while also protecting the surface of the workpiece from damage.
[0023] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0024] 1. By setting up a No. 1 belt conveyor, a No. 2 belt conveyor, and an electric push rod, the automatic feeding, stamping, and unloading operations in the hard disk casing production process are realized without manual intervention, which improves the automation level of the production line, thereby further improving production efficiency and reducing production costs;
[0025] 2. By setting up structures such as a push frame, wedge-shaped abutment block, sliding roller, limit slide groove, guide rod, return spring, clamping block and rubber anti-slip pad, the workpiece can be stably clamped during the stamping process, preventing the workpiece from shifting or shaking, thus improving stamping accuracy and product quality.

[0040] Working principle of this utility model:
[0041] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-8 When using this utility model, firstly, the workpiece to be stamped is placed at the input end of the No. 1 belt conveyor 2. The controller 5 starts the No. 1 belt conveyor 2, which transports the workpiece to its output end. The infrared distance sensor 8 detects the distance of the workpiece in real time. When the workpiece is exactly on one side of the stamping station, the infrared distance sensor 8 sends a signal to the controller 5, and the controller 5 controls the No. 1 belt conveyor 2 to stop conveying.
[0042] Next, controller 5 controls electric push rod 6 to start, electric push rod 6 pushes push plate 7 forward, push plate 7 pushes workpiece from the output end of belt conveyor 2 to the stamping station, completing the automatic feeding process;
[0043] Then, the controller 5 controls the stamping machine 10 to start. The stamping machine 10 drives the stamping die head 11 to move downward and perform stamping operation on the workpiece at the stamping station. During the stamping process, the push frame 12 moves downward together with the stamping die head 11. The sliding rollers 14 at the bottom of both ends of the push frame 12 contact the slope of the wedge-shaped abutment block 13 and generate relative sliding, so that the wedge-shaped abutment block 13 slides along the limiting slide groove 15 towards the workpiece, thereby driving the clamping block 20 and the rubber anti-slip pad 21 to clamp the workpiece, preventing the workpiece from shifting or shaking during the stamping process, and improving the stamping accuracy and product quality.
[0044] While the stamping operation is in progress, the controller 5 controls the electric push rod 6 and the first belt conveyor 2 to start again. The electric push rod 6 drives the push plate 7 to reset, and the first belt conveyor 2 transports the subsequent workpieces to one side of the stamping station.
[0045] After stamping is completed, the stamping machine 10 drives the stamping die head 11 and the push frame 12 to move upward and reset. At this time, the reset spring 19 pushes the baffle 18 and drives the guide rod 17 to move, so that the wedge-shaped abutment block 13 slides and resets along the limit slide groove 15, releasing the clamping of the workpiece.
[0046] Finally, the controller 5 controls the electric push rod 6 to start again. The electric push rod 6 pushes the pusher plate 7 forward. The pusher plate 7 pushes the subsequent workpiece to the stamping station, thereby pushing the stamped workpiece from the stamping station to the input end of the second belt conveyor 3. Subsequently, the controller 5 controls the second belt conveyor 3 to start again. The second belt conveyor 3 transports the stamped workpiece to its output end, completing the automatic unloading process.
[0047] Repeat the above steps to perform continuous stamping operations.
