[0002] Stamping dies are essential tools in cold stamping processes, used for the mass production of metal or non-metal parts. They work by applying external force through a press to separate or plastically deform materials, thereby obtaining parts with specific shapes, dimensions, and properties. Stamping dies are widely used in the automotive, home appliance, and electronics industries, such as for automobile body parts and appliance housings.
[0003] A metal switch box is a switch box made of metal materials, possessing characteristics such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance. A metal switch box typically consists of a box body and a cover plate. Currently, when processing the cover plate using stamping dies, manual material handling is usually employed. This method of material handling and placement is inefficient; furthermore, during the placement of the workpiece, inaccurate positioning or tilting may occur, leading to inconsistent product quality. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0019] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model discloses a stamping die for processing metal switch box covers, including a base plate 1, a base 2 fixedly disposed above the base plate 1, a top seat 3 located above the base 2, an upper die seat 4 fixedly disposed below the top seat 3, a lower die seat 5 fixedly disposed above the base 2, and a guide post assembly located between the top seat 3 and the base 2. A feeding assembly and a feeding assembly are provided above the base plate 1. The feeding assembly is located on the right side of the base 2, and the feeding assembly is located between the base 2 and the feeding assembly. The feeding assembly includes a support 6 fixedly disposed above the base plate 1, a linear module 7 fixedly disposed above the support 6, a bracket 8 fixedly disposed above the slide of the linear module 7, a rodless cylinder 9 fixedly disposed on the left side of the bracket 8, an mounting strip 10 fixedly disposed on the slide of the rodless cylinder 9, and a plurality of vacuum suction cups 11 fixedly disposed below the mounting strip 10. The mounting strip 10 is located on the left side of the bracket 8, and the vacuum suction cups 11 are located above the feeding assembly and between the upper die seat 4 and the lower die seat 5. In use, several cover plates 24 are stacked inside the loading box 12, with the cover plates 24 positioned between the baffle 21 and the push plate 23. The linear module 7 is activated to move the vacuum suction cup 11 above the loading box 12. The rodless cylinder 9 is activated to move the vacuum suction cup 11 downwards, so that the vacuum suction cup 11 contacts and connects with the uppermost cover plate 24 inside the loading box 12. The vacuum suction cup 11 is then activated to hold the cover plate 24 in place. Finally, the rodless cylinder 9 is activated to move the vacuum suction cup 11 upwards. The cover plate 24 pushes open the baffle 21 and leaves the loading box 12, thus achieving automatic material handling. The linear module 7 is activated, moving the vacuum suction cup 11 and the cover plate 24 between the upper mold base 4 and the lower mold base 5, positioning the cover plate 24 directly above the lower mold base 5. The rodless cylinder 9 is then activated, moving the vacuum suction cup 11 and the cover plate 24 downwards, causing the cover plate 24 to contact and connect with the lower mold base 5. The vacuum suction cup 11 is then closed to release the cover plate 24. The linear module 7 is then activated, moving the vacuum suction cup 11 outside the lower mold base 5. The linear module 7, rodless cylinder 9, and vacuum suction cup 11 are all connected to an external air source via air pipes. The linear module 7, rodless cylinder 9, and vacuum suction cup 11 are all connected to the controller 22 via wires and circuit components. The controller 22 is a programmable logic controller (PLC) 22, and the operating modes of the linear module 7, rodless cylinder 9, and vacuum suction cup 11 are pre-programmed. (The functions to be implemented by each hardware component in this invention are supported by a large number of mature technologies. The essence of this invention lies in its specific application; the above connection and control methods are all existing technologies and do not involve modifications to the internal software of the hardware.) In summary, this invention has the beneficial effects of automatic material handling and automatic material feeding, solving the problem that existing stamping dies typically require manual material handling and feeding when processing the cover plate 24, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, when feeding the workpiece, inaccurate placement or tilting may occur, leading to inconsistent finished product quality.
[0020] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a feeding box 12, a push plate 23 located inside the feeding box 12, and several springs A13. The upper and lower ends of the springs A13 are fixedly connected to the push plate 23 and the inner bottom wall of the feeding box 12, respectively. Since the upper and lower ends of the springs A13 are fixedly connected to the push plate 23 and the inner bottom wall of the feeding box 12, when the uppermost cover plate 24 inside the feeding box 12 is removed, the springs A13 will push the push plate 23 to move upward, pushing the cover plate 24 upward to fill the gap, thus facilitating the lower cover plate 24 to fill the gap.
[0021] Preferably, the guide post assembly includes a guide post A14 fixedly mounted on the base 2, a guide sleeve A15 fixedly mounted on the top seat 3, and a spring B16 sleeved on the guide post A14. The guide post A14 is inserted into the guide sleeve A15 and slidably connected to it. Since the spring B16 is sleeved on the guide post A14, and the guide post A14 is inserted into the guide sleeve A15 and slidably connected to it, it serves to position and align the parts and bear a certain amount of lateral pressure.
[0022] Preferably, the guide post assembly further includes a guide post B17 fixedly mounted on the upper mold base 4 and a guide sleeve B18 fixedly mounted on the lower mold base 5, wherein the guide post B17 is inserted into the guide sleeve B18 and slidably connected with the guide sleeve B18. Because the guide post B17 is inserted into the guide sleeve B18 and slidably connected with the guide sleeve B18, it provides precise guidance during the operation of the upper mold base 4 and the lower mold base 5.
[0023] Preferably, a safety light curtain A19 is fixedly installed on the top seat 3, and a safety light curtain B20 is fixedly installed on the base 2. Both safety light curtains A19 and B20 are located on the front side of the lower die seat 5, with safety light curtain A19 directly above safety light curtain B20. Since safety light curtain A19 is directly above safety light curtain B20, connecting safety light curtains A19 and B20 to the press control components via wires ensures that if someone puts their hand into the die seat while the press is operating, safety light curtains A19 and B20 will detect the hand and transmit a signal to the press control components, causing the press to stop immediately, thus preventing injury to personnel.
[0024] Preferably, the top of the feeding box 12 is fixedly provided with baffles 21 located on both sides of the vacuum suction cup 11. The baffles 21 are made of elastic rubber. Since the top of the feeding box 12 is fixedly provided with baffles 21 located on both sides of the vacuum suction cup 11, it serves to block the cover plate 24 and prevent the cover plate 24 from being pushed out of the feeding box 12. Since the baffles 21 are made of elastic rubber, when the cover plate 24 is sucked by the vacuum suction cup 11 and moved upward, the cover plate 24 can push aside the baffles 21 and move to the outside of the feeding box 12.
[0025] Preferably, a controller 22 is fixedly installed above the base plate 1, and the linear module 7, rodless cylinder 9, and vacuum suction cup 11 are all connected to the controller 22 through wires and circuit components. Since the linear module 7, rodless cylinder 9, and vacuum suction cup 11 are all connected to the controller 22 through wires and circuit components, it facilitates the control of the opening and closing of each component.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
