Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waste collection devices for stamping machines, and in particular to a waste collection device for stamped parts. Background Technology

[0002] As a core piece of equipment in modern industrial production, stamping presses rely on dies to apply strong pressure to metal sheets, strips, and other materials to achieve plastic deformation or separation processing. They can perform diverse processes such as blanking, bending, stretching, forming, and flanging. While the blanking process can precisely cut the required workpiece, the generation of waste is unavoidable. If this waste is not collected in a timely manner, it will not only make the production station chaotic but may also affect equipment operating safety and production efficiency. Therefore, a standardized waste collection process is crucial in stamping operations.

[0003] Currently, the scrap hoppers equipped on stamping presses have significant drawbacks. When the scrap hopper is full, the machine must be stopped for replacement, which interrupts the production process, reduces production efficiency, and affects the continuity of production.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figures 1-10This utility model provides a waste collection device for stamped parts, including: a support 200, a waste trough 400, and a temporary trough 300. A feed inlet 220 for waste material is provided at the top of the cavity 210. The support 200 is positioned below the discharge port of the stamping machine 100, allowing waste material generated during the operation of the stamping machine 100 to enter the cavity 210 through the feed inlet 220. The support 200 includes the cavity 210, and at least one side of the cavity 210 is provided with a connection to the outside. The discharge port 230, waste trough 400 and temporary trough 300 are all located in the cavity 210, and the temporary trough 300 is located above the waste trough 400. The waste trough 400 enters and exits the cavity 210 through the discharge port 230. The temporary trough 300 includes two sets of oppositely arranged and openable flap structures. When the flap structure is closed, the temporary trough 300 can be used to hold waste. When the flap structure is open, the waste can enter the waste trough 400 through the temporary trough 300. When the waste trough 400 is full of waste, the flap structure can be closed by controlling a switch. The closed flap structure forms a V-shaped temporary trough 300, into which the waste falls. At this point, the waste trough 400 can be removed from the cavity 210, and then an empty waste trough 400 can be placed into the cavity 210. After the waste trough 400 is in place, the flap structure opens, and the waste in the flap structure falls into the waste trough 400. The temporary trough 300 allows for the replacement of an empty waste trough 400 or the emptying and refilling of the waste trough 400 without stopping the machine, ensuring production efficiency and continuity.

[0035] The waste trough 400 is equipped with wheels at its bottom. The wheels are designed to convert the sliding friction between the waste trough 400 and the ground into rotational friction between the wheels and the ground, thus reducing the force required to move the waste trough 400.

[0036] The flap structure includes a drive unit, a rotating shaft 310, and a flap 320. The flap 320 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 310, and the rotating shaft 310 is rotatably connected to the bracket 200. The drive unit is used to drive the rotating shaft 310 to rotate. Figures 6-7 Baffles 321 are provided on both sides of the flap 320. The baffles 321 are used to prevent materials from sliding out from both sides of the flap 320. When the flap structure is closed, the sides of the baffles 321 that are provided opposite to each other on the two flaps 320 fit together.

[0037] like Figure 10 A buffer sealing strip 322 is provided on the side of the flap 320 away from the rotating shaft 310. In this embodiment, the buffer sealing strip 322 is a rubber strip. When the flap structure is closed, the two sealing strips fit together, producing a buffering and sealing effect to prevent small waste materials from falling from the gap between the two flaps 320.

[0038] like Figures 3-5The driving device includes a gear 332, a rack 331, and a power unit 330. A rotating shaft 310 protrudes to the outside of the support 200. The gear 332 is fixedly mounted on the end of the rotating shaft 310 located outside the support 200. The rack 331 meshes with the gear 332. The power unit 330 drives the rack 331 to move in a linear direction. When the rack 331 moves linearly, it drives the gear 332 to rotate. The gear 332 drives the rotating shaft 310 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the flap 320 fixed on the rotating shaft 310, realizing the function of opening or closing the flap structure. The power unit 330 is mounted on the support 200. In this embodiment, the power unit 330 is a cylinder; in other embodiments, the power unit 330 can also be a hydraulic cylinder. In other embodiments, the rotating shaft 310 can also be driven by a motor.

[0039] The waste collection device for stamped parts also includes a controller 110 and a sensor 500. The sensor 500 and the power unit 330 are electrically connected to the controller 110. Figure 4 The sensor 500 is located on the side of the cavity 210 away from the discharge port 230. When the waste chute 400 is pushed into the cavity 210, or when it is fully inserted or pushed to a designated position, the sensor 500 is triggered, and the controller 110 controls the power unit 330 to open the flap structure. Adding the sensor 500 reduces manual operation steps and improves efficiency. In this embodiment, the sensor 500 is a proximity switch. The controller 110 is a control panel. In other embodiments, the sensor 500 can also be a photoelectric sensor 500 or a weight sensor 500.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the bracket 200 and the stamping machine 100 are integrated into one structure. The original structure of the stamping machine 100 can be used to directly install the waste trough 400, temporary material trough 300, etc. on the stamping machine 100, without the need to design and manufacture the bracket 200 structure of the waste treatment device separately. By utilizing the original structure of the stamping machine 100, the waste collection function can be upgraded at a lower cost.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
