Abstract
Description

[0002] In the hot stamping industry, the centering finger is a key component used to position the hot stamping blank, and its performance directly affects product quality and production efficiency. Traditional hot stamping centering fingers mostly use pneumatic drive, which has many problems and shortcomings.
[0003] First, the thrust of the pneumatic centering finger is greatly affected by air pressure fluctuations, resulting in poor stability of the centering action and a high likelihood of centering failure, impacting production progress and product quality. Inconsistent proportional valve openings in some pneumatic systems lead to inconsistent response times, further causing centering delays and reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, the slider of traditional pneumatic centering fingers is susceptible to dust contamination and jamming, and is prone to damage in harsh working environments, leading to frequent equipment failures and increased maintenance costs and frequency. Therefore, the existing hot-stamped centering finger technology has many problems and urgently needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] This embodiment discloses a hot stamping electric cylinder centering finger device, referring to... Figure 1-4 It includes a frame 1, a servo motor 3, a reducer 4, a synchronous belt module 5, and a centering finger assembly 6. The output end of the servo motor 3 is assembled with the reducer 4. One end of the synchronous belt module 5 is assembled with the frame 1, and the other end is assembled with the output end of the reducer 4. The centering finger assembly 6 is assembled on the synchronous belt module 5 and moves with it. The frame 1 is provided with a heat insulation and dustproof cover 2, which covers the synchronous belt module 5 inside.
[0024] This solution uses a servo motor 3 and a reducer 4 to drive a synchronous belt module 5, which in turn moves the centering finger assembly 6. The transmission is stable and reliable, with high positioning accuracy, reaching ±0.1mm and repeatability. This effectively solves the problem of centering failure caused by air pressure fluctuations in existing pneumatic centering systems. The synchronous belt module 5 operates more stably and is less affected by external dust and impurities compared to traditional lead screw assemblies. At the same time, the heat insulation and dustproof cover 2 effectively protects the synchronous belt module 5, reducing damage to the equipment caused by dust and high-temperature environments, and further reducing maintenance frequency.
[0025] Furthermore, the centering finger assembly in this embodiment employs an absolute encoder for mechanical zeroing, ensuring consistent zero point and guaranteeing formula effectiveness. The servo motor displays its operating position in real time and records operational data. Each time centering fails, the actual position of the centering finger at the time of the alarm is recorded, narrowing the troubleshooting scope and accurately pinpointing the cause of the fault. A servo motor fault alarm log is recorded, including alarm status and alarm code, facilitating troubleshooting. Production data is easily acquired, aiding in the establishment of a data model of the actual expansion coefficient of hot material centering for precise debugging. The servo motor features stepless speed regulation, stable thrust (set to 15kg), and overload protection to prevent material deformation from impacts.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the centering finger assembly 6 includes a fixing plate 61, a centering rod 62, and a centering finger 63. The fixing plate 61 is assembled with the timing belt module 5, the centering rod 62 is mounted on the fixing plate 61, and the centering finger 63 is mounted on the centering rod 62. This design facilitates installation and disassembly, allows for quick replacement of the centering finger 63, improves equipment maintenance efficiency, further ensures the stable operation of the centering finger 63, and guarantees the smooth progress of centering work.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the synchronous belt module 5 includes a front bearing housing 51, a rear bearing housing 52, and a synchronous belt 53 assembled between the front bearing housing 51 and the rear bearing housing 52. The front bearing housing 51 is assembled with the output end of the reducer 4, the rear bearing housing 52 is mounted on the frame 1, and the fixing plate 61 is fixed to the surface of the synchronous belt 53. The front bearing housing 51 and the rear bearing housing 52 provide stable support for the synchronous belt 53, ensuring the smoothness of the synchronous belt 53 transmission, thereby enabling the centering finger assembly 6 to move accurately to the designated position and achieve high-precision centering.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the system also includes a guide rail 7 installed between the front bearing housing 51 and the rear bearing housing 52. The synchronous belt 53 is located outside the guide rail 7. The surface of the guide rail 7 is provided with a guide groove 71. The end of the fixing plate 61 that is fixed to the synchronous belt 53 is provided with a guide block 611, which slides within the guide groove 71. The cooperative use of the guide rail 7 and the guide block 611 further improves the stability and accuracy of the movement of the centering finger assembly 6, effectively preventing the centering finger assembly 6 from shifting during movement, ensuring centering accuracy, and also helping to extend the service life of the synchronous belt module.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the frame 1 includes a base plate 11 and a first mounting plate 12 mounted on the base plate 11. The rear bearing seat 52 is mounted on the frame 1 by being fixed to the first mounting plate 12. By adopting the above design, a stable mounting foundation can be provided for the rear bearing seat 52, ensuring the structural stability of the entire equipment.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a second mounting plate 13 mounted on the base plate 11. The second mounting plate 13 is used to install and fix the frame 1 to the external equipment. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The second mounting plate 13 facilitates the connection and installation of the entire hot stamping electric cylinder centering finger device with external equipment, improves the equipment's versatility and adaptability, and enables it to be better integrated into different hot stamping production lines to meet diverse production needs.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13 are respectively installed at both ends of the base plate 11, and the base plate 11 is fixed to the heat insulation and dustproof cover 2. This fixing method ensures that the heat insulation and dustproof cover 2 is tightly integrated with the frame 1, enhancing the stability of the heat insulation and dustproof cover, better performing its heat insulation and dustproof function, further protecting internal components such as the synchronous belt module 5 from interference from external environmental factors, reducing the failure rate, and reducing maintenance costs.
[0032] At the start of production debugging, the servo motor 3 is enabled, and the operator manually pulls the centering rod 62 to reach the edge of the product blank and fix it. The data is confirmed on the operation screen, and debugging is complete. During production, the servo motor 3 is enabled, and the centering finger component 6 moves to touch the edge of the product via the synchronous belt module 5. It then automatically closes to the previously recorded position, positioning the product. The parameters for each product can be saved separately, and subsequent repeated runs only require selecting the formula to meet production needs, reducing debugging and production process anomaly time.
[0033] The technical solution provided by this utility model has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
