Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of punch press technology, and in particular to a protective device for punch presses. Background Technology

[0002] A punch press is a stamping press. Compared with traditional machining, stamping technology has advantages such as saving materials and energy, high efficiency, low operator skill requirements, and the ability to produce products that cannot be achieved by machining through the application of various molds. Therefore, its use is becoming more and more widespread.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the Chinese patent publication number CN211105833U, a punch press with a guiding and error-correcting effect is disclosed. This includes a punch press base, a stamping die on the top of the base, the stamping die being fixedly connected to the base, an L-shaped support column on the top of the base and one side of the die, the bottom of the vertical rod of the L-shaped support column being fixedly connected to the base, and a punch cutter on the bottom of the horizontal rod of the L-shaped support column and directly above the die. The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are: this punch press has a guiding and error-correcting effect. By setting a fixed guiding mechanism below the punch cutter head, the punch cutter head can be corrected. The internal structure of the guiding mechanism is double-layered, first limiting the lateral displacement of the punch cutter head, and then limiting the longitudinal displacement, thus preventing displacement of the cutter head during descent. The guiding mechanism is fixedly connected and its position is relatively fixed to the bottom stamping template, preventing punching offset.

[0004] Punch presses have the advantages of small size and high power, making them suitable for various fields. However, the extremely strong impact force generated by punch presses during operation can easily cause safety accidents and irreversible damage. Therefore, how to protect punch presses during operation is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a protective device for punch presses, which can protect the punch press during operation.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a protective device for a punch press, comprising a punch press, a first cylinder fixedly installed on the outside of the punch press, a push rod provided at the output end of the first cylinder, a protective plate provided at one end of the push rod, slide rails fixedly connected to both sides of the outside of the punch press, a slider slidably connected inside the slide rails, the protective plate fixedly connected to the outside of the slider, a cavity opened inside the punch press and the protective plate, a limit shaft inserted inside the cavity, a second cylinder fixedly connected to the outside of the protective plate, a coupling fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder, a connecting shaft movably installed inside the coupling, and a robot arm fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the punch press is in operation, the first cylinder is activated, causing the first cylinder to drive the push rod to extend and retract. The protective plate is installed at the end of the push rod, which in turn causes the first cylinder to drive the protective plate to rise and fall. During this process, the protective plate will slide inside the slide rail via a slider. The slider and the slide rail limit the protective plate, so that the protective plate can only move linearly inside the slide rail. When the protective plate is raised, it can cover the punch plate and the processing plate, thus providing a safety protection effect for the stamped parts during the stamping process. The limiting shaft is inserted into the cavity inside the punch press and the protective plate, which can limit the protective plate and reduce the load-bearing capacity of the first cylinder. While the protective plate is covering the punch plate and the processing plate, the robot arm is installed inside the coupling via a connecting shaft. The second cylinder is activated, causing the second cylinder to drive the robot arm to extend and retract. The robot arm clamps the stamped parts, thus preventing the stamped parts from shifting during the stamping process.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that grooves are provided on both sides inside the slider, and pulleys are rotatably connected inside the grooves.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the pulley is rotatably connected to the inner side of the slider through the groove, and the pulley contacts the inner wall of the slide rail. When the slider moves, the pulley will travel on the inner wall of the slide rail, improving the smoothness of the slider during movement and preventing the slider from getting stuck.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the number of pulleys is four, and the four pulleys are distributed in a rectangular array.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, four pulleys are distributed on both sides of the outside of the slider, and all four pulleys are in contact with the inner wall of the slide rail.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that one end of the push rod is fixedly connected to a clamping block, and the protective plate extends into the interior of the clamping block.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective plate is installed inside the clamping block, so that the protective plate is connected to the end of the push rod through the clamping block.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the internal thread of the clamping block is connected to a locking screw, and the external thread of the locking screw is connected to a locking nut.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking screw is inserted into the inside of the clamping block and the protective plate, and then the locking nut is threaded to both ends of the locking screw, so that the protective plate can be fixed inside the clamping block. This not only provides a good fixing effect, but also makes it easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0016] A further feature of this invention is that a processing plate is fixedly connected inside the punch press, and a mounting groove is fixedly connected to the top of the processing plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the stamped part is placed in the mounting groove inside the processing plate during stamping.

[0018] A further feature of this invention is that a hydraulic cylinder is provided inside the punch press, and a punch plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the punch is set at the center of the top of the processing plate. The hydraulic cylinder is activated, which drives the punch to extend and retract, thereby enabling the stamping of the stamped parts.

[0020] A further feature of this invention is that the punch press has heat dissipation holes inside, and a grid is fixedly connected inside the heat dissipation holes.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, since the hydraulic cylinder is located inside the punch press, the heat generated by the hydraulic cylinder is discharged through the heat dissipation holes, and the grille covers the heat dissipation holes to prevent impurities from entering.

[0022] A further feature of this invention is that a first cylinder frame and a second cylinder frame are fixedly connected to the outside of the punch press.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the first cylinder bracket and the second cylinder bracket respectively fix the first cylinder and the second cylinder.

[0024] A further feature of this invention is that the robotic arm is mechanically driven.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the robotic arm includes a mechanical disk, inside which two gears mesh, and two mechanical claws are fixed at the center of the gears. The two gears are driven by a motor, thereby enabling the two mechanical claws to grasp.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of a punch press, a first cylinder, a push rod, a protective plate, a slide rail, a slider, a cavity, a limiting shaft, a second cylinder, a coupling, a connecting shaft, and a robot, allows the punch press to operate. When the punch press is in operation, the first cylinder is activated, driving the push rod to extend and retract. The protective plate is installed at the end of the push rod, causing the first cylinder to drive the protective plate to rise and fall. During this process, the protective plate slides within the slide rail via the slider. The slider and slide rail limit the protective plate, ensuring it can only move linearly within the slide rail. When the protective plate rises, it covers the punch plate and processing plate, providing safety protection for the stamped parts during the stamping process. While the protective plate covers the punch plate and processing plate, the robot is installed inside the coupling via the connecting shaft. The second cylinder is activated, driving the robot to extend and retract, clamping the stamped parts and preventing them from shifting during stamping.

[0028] 2. This utility model, through the arrangement of pulleys, clamping blocks, locking screws, and locking nuts, allows the pulleys to rotate and connect to the inner side of the slider via grooves, and the pulleys contact the inner wall of the slide rail. When the slider moves, the pulleys will travel along the inner wall of the slide rail, improving the smoothness of the slider's movement and preventing the slider from jamming. The protective plate is installed inside the clamping block, so that the protective plate is connected to the end of the push rod through the clamping block. The locking screw passes through the clamping block and the protective plate, and then the locking nut is threaded to both ends of the locking screw, thereby fixing the protective plate inside the clamping block. This not only provides excellent fixing effect but also facilitates disassembly and assembly. Attached Figure Description
