Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to stamping die processing, and in particular to an integrated mechanism for automated stamping station coding. Background Technology
[0002] In automated stamping production, due to the special nature of some products, the number of processes is relatively small, resulting in idle machine tools on a stamping production line. However, due to the continuous nature of automated stamping production, each machine must provide a controller signal input; otherwise, coordinated automated stamping production cannot be achieved. This signal input is achieved by connecting a proximity switch built into the die to an aviation connector, and the die is manually assigned a code number for that stamping production line. This code number must correspond consistently to the die used in each process of a product; inconsistencies will prevent automated production.
[0003] This situation has resulted in each traditional product requiring a proximity switch and aviation connector. With so many of these specialized parts in the company, there is a significant waste of resources and it is also inconvenient for on-site management. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides an integrated mechanism for stamping automation empty station coding, which aims to solve the problem that each product requires a proximity switch and aviation connector. When there are many such characteristic parts in an enterprise, it results in a large waste of costs and is also inconvenient for on-site management.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an integrated mechanism for automatic stamping station coding includes: an encoder, which transmits processed standardized signals to a production line control system; an aviation connector, with a first integrated wiring harness between the aviation connector and the encoder, the aviation connector being used to connect to an external production line controller; and a proximity switch, with a second integrated wiring harness between the proximity switch and the encoder, the proximity switch being used to connect to an external production line mold.
[0006] Preferably, the encoder includes: an encoder housing, on which eleven sets of DIP switches are provided, the eleven sets of DIP switches are sequentially fixedly mounted on the encoder housing by locking nuts, a capacitor is provided inside the encoder housing, a DIP switch assembly is provided on the side of the encoder housing away from the capacitor, and DIP cables are connected to the capacitor.
[0007] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting up encoder 4, different parts can be encoded to realize the production of products with different serial numbers.
[0008] Preferably, the switch numbers of the DIP switches are arranged in the following order: 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, odd / even, switch.
[0009] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that normal production can be achieved by using only this integrated mechanism for products with different serial numbers, without using a separate set of proximity switches and aviation connectors.
[0010] Preferably, the aviation connector and the DIP switch cable are connected through the first integrated wiring harness, and the internal line numbers correspond one-to-one.
[0011] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it facilitates the transmission of signals from the corresponding DIP switch to the external production line controller via the aviation connector.
[0012] Preferably, the proximity switch is connected to the DIP switch in sequence via a second integrated wiring harness.
[0013] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme is that it is used to convert the original switching signal into a configurable encoded signal.
[0014] Preferably, the proximity switch is provided with a proximity switch mounting plate, and the proximity switch is fixedly installed in the external mold by the proximity switch mounting plate.
[0015] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it facilitates the stable installation of proximity switches.
[0016] Preferably, the first integrated wiring harness is provided with a first connector at the end near the aviation connector, and the first integrated wiring harness and the second integrated wiring harness are provided with a second connector at the end near the encoder.
[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions is to ensure the stability of the structure during installation.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The integrated mechanism of the stamping automation empty station encoder of this utility model improves the connection method between the proximity switch and the aviation connector by setting an encoder. The encoder supports multiple products and there is no need to configure a dedicated signal device for each mold. Product switching only requires toggling a switch, and the changeover time is short. Products with different production serial numbers do not need to use a separate set of proximity switches and aviation connectors. Only one set of empty station encoders is needed to realize the production of products with different serial numbers, which solves the hardware redundancy problem caused by one signal device for one mold and realizes flexible production of multiple products with a single set of equipment.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides an integrated mechanism technical solution for an automated stamping empty station code: an integrated mechanism for an automated stamping empty station code, comprising:
[0025] Encoder 4 is used to transmit the processed standardized signal to the production line control system;
[0026] Aviation connector 1, a first integrated wiring harness 3 is provided between aviation connector 1 and encoder 4, aviation connector 1 is used to connect to external production line controller;
[0027] A proximity switch 7 is provided, and a second integrated wiring harness 6 is provided between the proximity switch 7 and the encoder 4. The proximity switch 7 is used to connect to the external production line mold.
[0028] In this embodiment, an encoder 4 is provided to improve the connection between the proximity switch 7 and the aviation connector 1. The encoder supports multiple products and does not require a dedicated signal device for each mold. Product switching only requires toggling the switch (without replacing hardware), resulting in short changeover time. This solves the hardware redundancy problem caused by one signal device per mold and enables a single set of equipment to support flexible production of multiple products.
[0029] Further; such as Figure 2 As shown, the encoder 4 includes: an encoder housing 41, on which eleven sets of DIP switches 42 are disposed, the eleven sets of DIP switches 42 are sequentially fixedly mounted on the encoder housing 41 by locking nuts 43, a capacitor 44 is disposed inside the encoder housing 41, and a DIP switch assembly 45 is disposed on the side of the encoder housing 41 away from the capacitor 44, with DIP cables 46 connected to the capacitor 44; as shown Figure 3As shown, the switch numbers of DIP switch 42 are arranged in the following order: 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, odd / even, switch.
[0030] In this embodiment, an encoder 4 is provided to encode different parts to achieve the production of products with different serial numbers. The encoder 4 includes: an encoder housing 41, with eleven holes drilled on the upper surface of the encoder housing 41, for mounting eleven DIP switches 42. A DIP switch assembly 45 is integrated with the DIP switches 42 via a capacitor 44 and mounted on the encoder housing 4. The capacitor 44 is connected via a DIP cable 46, and a first integrated wiring harness 3 formed by the DIP cable 46 is connected to an aviation connector 1. The aviation connector 1 and the first integrated wiring harness 3 are numbered one-to-one and connected via a first connector 2. A second integrated wiring harness 6 is located at the lower end of the proximity switch 7, which is connected to the parity and switch of the DIP switches 42. The proximity switch 7 is fixed in the mold by a proximity switch mounting plate 8.
[0031] The encoder 4 operates as follows: if the product serial number is 33, the DIP switch assembly settings 1, 2, 10, and 20 are turned ON, the parity switch is turned ON, and the other DIP switches are turned OFF. If the product serial number is 34, the parity switch is turned OFF.
[0032] If producing product serial number 25, set DIP switch assembly settings 1, 4, and 20 to ON, the parity switch to ON, and the power switch to ON, while setting other DIP switches to OFF. If producing product serial number 26, set the parity switch to OFF.
[0033] The above coding design allows products with different serial numbers to be produced normally using only this integrated mechanism, without the need for a separate set of proximity switches and aviation connectors.
[0034] Specifically, aviation connector 1 and DIP switch cable 46 are connected through the first integrated wiring harness 3, and the internal line numbers correspond one-to-one.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first integrated wiring harness 3 formed by the DIP switch 46 is connected to the aviation connector 1. The numbers in the aviation connector 1 and the integrated wiring harness 3 correspond one-to-one, which facilitates the corresponding DIP switch 43 to transmit the signal to the external production line controller through the aviation connector 1.
[0036] In addition, the proximity switch 7 is connected to the DIP switch 42 in sequence via the second integrated wiring harness 6.
[0037] In this embodiment, the second integrated wiring harness 6 at the lower end of the proximity switch 7 is sequentially connected to the DIP switch 42 to convert the original switch signal into a configurable encoded signal.
[0038] In addition, a proximity switch mounting plate 8 is provided on the proximity switch 7, and the proximity switch 7 is fixedly installed in the external mold through the proximity switch mounting plate 8.
[0039] In this embodiment, the proximity switch 7 is installed inside the external production line mold by the proximity switch pressure plate 8, which facilitates the stable installation of the proximity switch 7.
[0040] It should be noted that the first integrated wiring harness 3 and the end near the aviation connector 1 are provided with a first connector 2, and the first integrated wiring harness 3 and the second integrated wiring harness 6 are provided with a second connector 5 at the end near the encoder 4.
