Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of forging processing equipment, specifically a clamping and flipping fixture for forging processing. Background Technology

[0002] Forgings are workpieces made from metal billets through forging processes. They are basic components in the field of machinery manufacturing. In modern industrial production, forging processing is a key link in machinery manufacturing. The forging processing process usually involves multiple steps such as cutting and deburring. Clamping and flipping fixtures used for forging processing are special process equipment that play a role in fixing, positioning and flipping forgings during the forging production process. Their core function is to ensure the stability and ease of operation of forgings during processing.

[0003] When clamping forgings, in order to improve the clamping firmness, the clamping tightness is usually increased to improve the stability of clamping the forgings. If the clamping force applied to the forging by the clamping device is too large, it is easy to deform or damage the clamping part of the forging. On the other hand, if the clamping force is set too small, the forging may loosen during the processing due to the insecure clamping, which will affect the processing accuracy and product quality.

[0004] Therefore, we provide a clamping and flipping fixture for forging processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a clamping and flipping fixture for forging processing, which can effectively solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the clamping force applied to the forging by the clamping member is too large, which can easily cause deformation or damage to the clamping part of the forging. On the other hand, if the clamping force is set too small, the forging may loosen during the processing due to the insecure clamping.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A clamping and flipping fixture for forging processing includes a forging table and an air-push pipe fixedly installed on one side of the forging table. One end of the air-push pipe is fixedly installed with an air passage pipe equipped with an electrically controlled valve, and the air-push pipe and the air passage pipe are connected by air. One end of the air passage pipe is fixedly installed with an air pump for gas delivery, and the air pump and the air passage pipe are connected by air. A flow divider is fixedly installed on one side of the air passage pipe, and electrically controlled valves are respectively provided between the flow divider and the air passage pipe. Two air guide pipes are connected to one side of the flow divider, and both air guide pipes are connected to the air passage pipe through the flow divider. A flipping shaft is provided above the other side of the forging table, and two air guide pipes are respectively connected to both ends of the flipping shaft by air. Two clamping mechanisms are nested and movably installed on the flipping shaft. One side of each clamping mechanism is fixedly connected with a multi-stage air push rod consisting of at least two parts, and the multi-stage air push rods are connected to the air passage pipe through the air guide pipe.

[0008] In the above scheme, preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping slider nested and movably mounted on the flip shaft. Each clamping slider is fitted with a gripper, and both the gripper and the clamping slider are provided with a socket. A fixing pin is fitted into the socket on the clamping slider, and the fixing pin passes through the socket on the gripper.

[0009] In the above scheme, preferably, the four corners of the forging table are fixedly installed with support feet for support, and two flipping bases are fixedly installed on the upper side of the other side of the forging table, and the flipping shaft is fitted and movably installed between the two flipping bases.

[0010] In the above scheme, preferably, a baffle fixedly installed on the forging table is provided between the flipping base and the air push pipe. A controller is fixedly installed at one end of the baffle, and the controller is electrically connected to the air pump and the electric control valve in the air passage pipe.

[0011] In the above scheme, preferably, one side of the air pump is provided with an air inlet for gas flow, and one side of the air push tube is provided with a limiting slide rod fixedly installed on the forging table.

[0012] In the above scheme, preferably, a telescopic rod with a piston plate is movably installed inside the air thrust tube, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod. A sliding toothed rod is movably installed above the limiting slide rod, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding toothed rod.

[0013] In the above scheme, preferably, a transmission gear is fitted and fixedly installed on one side of the flipping shaft, and the transmission gear and the sliding rack mesh with each other for transmission connection.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This clamping and flipping fixture for forging processing is equipped with an air pump, an air guide pipe, and a multi-stage pneumatic push rod. The air pump delivers gas through an air pipe, which is then distributed to the air guide pipe via a distributor, thus providing power to the multi-stage pneumatic push rod. When the multi-stage pneumatic push rod extends, it drives the clamping mechanism to move horizontally on the flipping shaft, thereby clamping the forging. When the forging is firmly clamped, the gas can be compressed within the multi-stage pneumatic push rod, thus avoiding deformation or damage to the forging due to excessive clamping force, while ensuring clamping stability.

[0016] This clamping and flipping fixture for forging processing features a structure incorporating jaws, insertion holes, and a clamping slider. Driven by multi-stage pneumatic actuators, the clamping slider slides along a flipping shaft to accommodate forgings of varying sizes. The jaws are secured to the clamping slider via fixed bolts that pass through the insertion holes. When adjusting the jaw position or replacing jaws with different specifications, simply remove the fixed bolts, replace the jaws, and reinsert them, thus improving the fixture's versatility.

[0017] This clamping and flipping fixture for forging processing is equipped with a transmission gear, a telescopic rod, and an air pump. When the air pump operates, the limiting slide rod limits and guides the sliding toothed rod, ensuring that the sliding toothed rod can only slide along the direction of the limiting slide rod. When the telescopic rod inside the air push tube moves, it drives the sliding toothed rod to slide on the limiting slide rod through the connecting rod. Since the transmission gear and the sliding toothed rod mesh with each other, the linear motion of the sliding toothed rod is converted into the rotational motion of the transmission gear, which in turn drives the flipping shaft to rotate, thus achieving the flipping of the forging.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown in this embodiment, a clamping and flipping fixture for forging processing includes a forging table 1 and an air pusher pipe 8 fixedly installed on one side of the forging table 1. One end of the air pusher pipe 8 is fixedly installed with an air passage pipe 6 equipped with an electrically controlled valve, and the air pusher pipe 8 and the air passage pipe 6 are connected by air. One end of the air passage pipe 6 is fixedly installed with an air pump 3 for gas delivery, and the air pump 3 is connected by air to the air passage pipe 6. A flow divider head 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the air passage pipe 6, and electrically controlled valves are respectively provided between the flow divider head 7 and the air pusher pipe 8 and the air passage pipe 6. Two air guide pipes 9 are connected to one side of the split head 7, and both air guide pipes 9 are connected to the air pipe 6 through the split head 7. A flip shaft 13 is provided on the other side of the forging table 1, and the two air guide pipes 9 are connected to the two ends of the flip shaft 13 respectively. Two clamping mechanisms 14 are nested and movably installed on the flip shaft 13. A multi-stage air push rod 1302 consisting of at least two is fixedly connected to one side of each clamping mechanism 14, and the multi-stage air push rod 1302 is connected to the air pipe 6 through the air guide pipe 9.

[0027] Specifically, with this setup, when the forging is clamped, the electrically controlled valve between the air pipe 6 and the distributor head 7 is opened, while the electrically controlled valve between the air pipe 6 and the air push pipe 8 remains closed. At this time, the air pump 3 delivers gas through the air pipe 6, which is then distributed to the air guide pipe 9 via the distributor head 7, thereby providing power to the multi-stage air push rod 1302. When the multi-stage air push rod 1302 extends, it drives the clamping mechanism 14 to move horizontally on the flipping shaft 13, thus clamping the forging. When the forging is firmly clamped, the gas can be compressed within the multi-stage air push rod 1302, thereby preventing deformation or damage to the forging due to excessive clamping force, while also ensuring clamping stability. When the clamping of the forging is canceled, the air pump 3 is controlled to perform a pumping operation, thereby causing the clamping mechanism 14 to cancel the clamping of the forging. Furthermore, the air push pipe 8 is connected to the air pipe 6, and the gas pushes the telescopic rod 801 to move, providing power for the subsequent flipping action.

[0028] like Figures 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 14 includes a clamping slider 1404 nested and movably mounted on the flip shaft 13. A gripper 1402 is movably mounted on the top of the clamping slider 1404. Both the gripper 1402 and the clamping slider 1404 are provided with insertion holes 1403. A fixing bolt 1401 is fitted into the insertion hole 1403 on the clamping slider 1404, and the fixing bolt 1401 passes through the insertion hole 1403 on the gripper 1402.

[0029] Specifically, with this configuration, the clamping mechanism 14, driven by the pneumatic force of the multi-stage pneumatic actuator 1302, allows the clamping slider 1404 to slide on the flip shaft 13, adapting to the clamping requirements of forgings of different sizes. The jaws 1402 are fixed to the clamping slider 1404 via fixing bolts 1401, which are connected through insertion holes 1403. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the jaws 1402 or replace them with jaws of different specifications, simply pull out the fixing bolts 1401, replace the jaws 1402, and then insert them back in, thereby improving the versatility of the tooling.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, support feet 2 are fixedly installed at the four lower corners of the forging table 1. Two flipping bases 12 are fixedly installed on the other side of the forging table 1, and the flipping shaft 13 is fitted and movably installed between the two flipping bases 12. A baffle 11 fixedly installed on the forging table 1 is provided between one flipping base 12 and the air push pipe 8. A controller 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the baffle 11, and the controller 5 is electrically connected to the air pump 3 and the electric control valve in the air pipe 6.

[0031] Specifically, through this setup, the support foot 2 provides stable support for the forging table 1. The tilting base 12 installs and supports the tilting shaft 13, enabling the tilting shaft 13 to rotate. The baffle 11 is used to install the controller 5 (the controller 5 is mainly used to control the use of the air pump 3 and the electric valve; the controller 5 model can be S7-200-SMART, and the electric valve model can be 4V210-08. This mechanism is existing technology and will not be described in detail here). At the same time, it provides a certain degree of protection and isolation for components such as the air push pipe 8. The controller 5 is electrically connected to the air pump 3 and the electric valve in the air pipe 6. The operator can control the start and stop of the air pump 3 and the use of the electric valve in the air pipe 6 through the controller 5, thereby controlling the delivery and distribution of gas, realizing the control and use of the clamping mechanism and tilting action, and improving the ease of operation of the tooling.

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, an air inlet 4 for gas flow is provided on one side of the air pump 3, a limiting slide rod 10 fixedly installed on the forging table 1 is provided on one side of the air push tube 8, a telescopic rod 801 with a piston plate is movably installed inside the air push tube 8, and a connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 801. A sliding toothed rod 16 is movably installed above the limiting slide rod 10, and one end of the connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding toothed rod 16. A transmission gear 1301 is fixedly installed on one side of the flip shaft 13, and the transmission gear 1301 and the sliding toothed rod 16 are meshed and connected for transmission.

[0033] Specifically, with this configuration, the air inlet 4 is used for the flow of air between the air pump 3 and the outside air, ensuring the normal operation of the air pump 3. The limiting slide rod 10 plays a limiting and guiding role on the sliding rack 16, so that the sliding rack 16 can only slide along the direction of the limiting slide rod 10. When the telescopic rod 801 in the air push tube 8 moves, it drives the sliding rack 16 to slide on the limiting slide rod 10 through the connecting rod 15. Since the transmission gear 1301 and the sliding rack 16 mesh with each other, the linear motion of the sliding rack 16 is converted into the rotational motion of the transmission gear 1301, which in turn drives the flipping shaft 13 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the forging.

[0034] It should be noted that when using this utility model as a clamping and flipping fixture for forging processing, the supporting foot 2 provides stable support for the forging table 1. The installation of the flipping base 12 supports the flipping shaft 13, ensuring its smooth rotation. The baffle 11 not only houses the controller 5 but also provides protection and isolation for components such as the air push pipe 8. The controller 5 is electrically connected to the air pump 3 and the electrically controlled valves in the air pipe 6. Operators can control the start and stop of the air pump 3 and the operation of the electrically controlled valves through the controller 5, thereby precisely controlling the delivery and distribution of gas. Air inlet 4 ensures the flow of air between air pump 3 and external air, guaranteeing its normal operation. Limiting slide bar 10 limits and guides sliding rack 16, ensuring it can only move along the direction of limiting slide bar 10. When telescopic rod 801 inside air push pipe 8 moves, it drives sliding rack 16 to slide along limiting slide bar 10 via connecting rod 15. The meshing of transmission gear 1301 with sliding rack 16 converts the linear motion of sliding rack 16 into the rotational motion of transmission gear 1301, thereby driving the flipping shaft 13 to rotate, realizing the flipping of the forging. When clamping the forging, air inlet 6 and... The electrically controlled valve between the distributor head 7 and the air pusher pipe 8 is open, while the electrically controlled valve between the distributor head 7 and the air pusher pipe 8 is closed. At this time, the air pump 3 delivers gas through the air pipe 6, which is then distributed to the air guide pipe 9 via the distributor head 7 to provide power to the multi-stage air pusher rod 1302. When the multi-stage air pusher rod 1302 extends, it drives the clamping mechanism 14 to move horizontally on the flip shaft 13, thereby clamping the forging. When the forging is firmly clamped, the gas is compressed within the multi-stage air pusher rod 1302, preventing deformation or damage to the forging due to excessive clamping force, while ensuring the stability of the clamping. When the clamping of the forging is canceled, the gas is released through the air pusher rod 1302. The air pump 3 is controlled to draw air, causing the clamping mechanism 14 to release the forging. The clamping slider 1404 can slide on the flip shaft 13 under the pneumatic push of the multi-stage pneumatic push rod 1302 to adapt to the clamping requirements of forgings of different sizes. The jaw 1402 is connected to the clamping slider 1404 through the fixing bolt 1401. The bolt passes through the insertion hole 1403 to achieve fixation. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the jaw 1402 or replace the jaw 1402 of different specifications, it is only necessary to pull out the fixing bolt 1401, replace the jaw 1402 and re-insert it to fix it, thereby improving the versatility of the tooling.
