Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cold stamping equipment, specifically relating to a die replacement device for cold stamping dies. Background Technology

[0002] Stamping dies are special process equipment used in cold stamping to process materials (metal or non-metal) into parts (or semi-finished products). They are called cold stamping dies (commonly known as cold stamping dies). Stamping is a pressure processing method that uses dies mounted on a press to apply pressure to materials at room temperature, causing them to separate or plastically deform, thereby obtaining the desired parts. When cold stamping materials, the materials need to be stamped into the interior of the die to achieve the forming of the materials.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, when stamping materials into workpieces of different shapes, it is necessary to change different dies of different shapes. However, in the existing technology, when changing the die, it is necessary to manually move the die out of the stamping equipment with the help of a forklift. This method of changing the die is not only inefficient, but also reduces the stability of the replaced die inside the stamping equipment. This will affect the stamping quality and stamping efficiency when the material is stamped in the subsequent process. Utility Model Content

[0057] A baffle 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the lower mold base 2.

[0058] The operating steps for the above-mentioned replacement device are as follows:

[0059] Step 1: Stop the operation of the stamping equipment and confirm the shutdown status;

[0060] Step 2: The die 5 is automatically moved out of the lower die holder 2 by the automatic start of the material transfer component;

[0061] Step 3: During the process of moving the die 5 out of the lower die holder 2, the die 5 is automatically unlocked by the unlocking component;

[0062] Step 4: The unlocked die 5 is continuously moved to the surface of the top plate 811 by the material transfer component;

[0063] Step 5: The die 5 is automatically ejected upwards from inside the lower die holder 2 by the stripping assembly;

[0064] Step Six: Automatic disengagement of die 5 is achieved by pushing the upper part of die 5, thus realizing automatic stripping.

[0065] Step 7: Remove the stripped die 5 using a forklift, place the replaced die 5 on the top plate 811, and perform a reverse operation to reset it, thus completing the replacement of the die 5.

[0066] Specifically, when the above-mentioned replacement device is in use, the operator first starts the drive motor 601 to drive the fixed adjusting screw 602 to rotate. The thread of the adjusting screw 602 causes the moving component 603 on the surface to move laterally. The movement of the moving component 603 drives the sleeved fixed component 604 to move synchronously. The movement of the fixed component 604 causes the fixed die 5 to move out of the lower die base 2, thereby realizing automatic material transfer of the die 5. The automated operation can greatly reduce the replacement time, eliminate the need for tedious manual operations, and improve the overall production efficiency. It can accurately move the die 5 to the correct position, ensure perfect matching with other mold components, improve the accuracy and consistency of the mold, reduce the impact of human factors on the replacement process, and improve the stability and reliability of the production process.

[0067] During the movement of the movable component 603, the bottom of the wedge 711 continuously slides on the inclined surface of the inclined block 702. As the die 5 moves out of the lower die base 2, when the inclined surface of the wedge 711 is at its highest point, the spring 710 is compressed. The inclined surface of the wedge 711 gradually moves from its high point to its low point. Without being resisted by the inclined surface of the inclined block 702, the wedge 711, through the compression and rebound force of the spring 710, pushes the movable plate 703 downwards. The downward movement of the movable plate 703 causes the internally fixed mounting rod 704 to slide down synchronously, allowing the mounting rod 704 to slide inside the partition plate 712. As the mounting rod 704 slides down, it pulls down the two connecting rods 709 rotatably connected to it at the top. The pulling force of the connecting rods 709 pulls the two rotatably connected push plates 706 towards each other. The surface of the positioning rod 705, and the two push plates 706 move towards each other, causing the fixed locking rod 707 to move synchronously, so that it disengages from the inside of the locking slot 708, thereby unlocking the fixed component 604. When locking the fixed component 604, the reverse operation can be performed to lock the fixed component 604. By automatically unlocking during the material transfer process of the die 5, and automatically locking the die 5 during the process of transporting the replaced die 5 into the lower die base 2, the automated unlocking and locking process is fast and accurate, which greatly reduces the time required to replace the die 5, improves production efficiency, eliminates the need for complicated manual unlocking and locking operations, makes the replacement of the die 5 simpler and more convenient, avoids the possibility of incorrect unlocking or insecure locking caused by human operation, improves the accuracy of replacement, and reduces the risk of injury to operators during the replacement process.

[0068] Meanwhile, when the moving member 603 moves laterally by adjusting the rotation of the screw 602, the unlocked die 5 and the fixed member 604, under the insertion action of the moving member 603, move laterally along with the moving member 603, causing the fixed member 604 and the die 5 to move out of the lower mold base 2. This continues until the cross-shaped position of the fixed member 604 is moved out of the cross-shaped groove of the moving groove 605. The moved die 5 and the fixed member 604 are then on the surface of the ejector plate 811, while the cross-shaped position of the fixed member 604 remains within the moving groove 605. When the cross groove is in place, it provides vertical positioning for the die 5 and the fixed component 604. Then, by activating the electric pneumatic rod 804, the fixed connecting plate 805 retracts. The movement of the connecting plate 805 causes the rotatably connected worm 801 to slide on the surface of the limiting protrusion 803, so that one end of the limiting protrusion 803 engages inside the limiting groove 802, causing the worm 801 and worm wheel 807 to mesh. Then, by adjusting the rotation of the screw 602, the limiting worm 801 rotates, and the rotation of the worm 801 causes the meshing worm wheel 807 to rotate synchronously. The rotation drives the fixed ejector screw 806 to rotate synchronously. The ejector screw 806's thread, connecting rod 810, and limiting plate 809 limit the ejector sleeve 808, allowing it to slide upwards. The upward movement of the ejector sleeve 808 pushes the fixed ejector plate 811 upwards, which in turn pushes the die 5 placed on its surface upwards. At this time, the cross-shaped position of the fixing member 604 moves away from the cross-shaped groove of the moving groove 605, releasing the vertical limitation between the die 5 and the fixing member 604. Therefore, the ejector plate 811 connects the die 5 and the fixed member 604... When component 604 is pushed upwards synchronously, automatic material removal between the fixed component 604 and the moving component 603 can be achieved. The ejected and unlocked die 5 can be quickly ejected and detached, realizing automatic material removal. The automated ejection and detachment process is rapid, reducing manual operation time, improving the efficiency of die 5 replacement, avoiding the risk of injury that may occur during manual operation, ensuring the personal safety of operators, and precisely controlling the force and position of ejection to ensure smooth detachment of die 5, reducing the risk of damage. Automatic operation avoids errors caused by human factors and improves the accuracy of die 5 replacement.
