Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold changing technology for cold heading machines, specifically to an automatic mold changing device for cold heading machines. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of cold heading machine processing, automatic mold changing equipment is a key device for improving production efficiency. Its core function is to achieve rapid mold replacement and precise positioning through mechanical structure. Traditional cold heading machine mold changing equipment usually adopts a single clamping arm structure, relying on hydraulic or manual drive to fix and release the mold. Such equipment needs to be adapted to specific mold specifications, and the clamping stability is significantly affected by the mold shape and weight distribution. Especially in high-speed continuous stamping operations, the risk of mold falling off or shifting is high, directly affecting processing accuracy and equipment safety.
[0003] Traditional single-arm clamping structures fix the mold through a single contact point. When dealing with irregularly shaped or offset molds, vibration or inertia can easily cause the clamps to loosen, requiring frequent machine stops for adjustment. Furthermore, the fixed clamping arm spacing cannot accommodate non-standard sized molds, making it difficult to meet the demands of flexible production. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an automatic mold-changing device for cold heading machines to solve the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic mold changing device for cold heading machines. This device solves the problems of traditional single-arm clamping structures, which fix molds through a single contact point. When faced with irregularly shaped or offset molds, the clamping is prone to loosening due to vibration or inertia, requiring frequent machine stops for adjustment. Furthermore, the fixed clamping arm spacing cannot adapt to non-standard mold sizes, making it difficult to meet the needs of flexible production.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic mold changing device for a cold heading machine, comprising a bracket and a support plate, the support plate being located on one side of the bracket, a screw rod being installed inside the bracket, a motor being installed on the top of the bracket, a support arm being sleeved on the screw rod, a retaining ring being installed at the end of the support arm, an annular groove being formed on the upper side of the support plate, a hydraulic rod being installed in the middle of the upper side of the support plate, limit rods being installed at both ends of the support plate, V-shaped clamping arms being connected to the limit rods, an mounting plate being provided below the support plate, sliding grooves being formed on both sides of the mounting plate, a slider being provided in the sliding groove, and a connecting piece being rotatably connected to one end of the slider.
[0008] Preferably, the motor is connected to the screw drive, and the support arm is threadedly sleeved with the screw, so that the rotation of the screw drives the support arm to automatically lift and lower.
[0009] Preferably, the retaining ring is rotatably engaged with the annular groove above the support plate, thereby facilitating the rotational adjustment of the angle of the support plate.
[0010] Preferably, the hydraulic rod is fixedly installed with the support plate, and the output end of the hydraulic rod passes through the support plate and is connected to the mounting plate.
[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the V-shaped clamping arm is rotatably sleeved with the limiting rod, and the lower end of the V-shaped clamping arm is rotatably connected with the connecting piece. When the hydraulic rod retracts, it drives the mounting plate to rise towards the support plate. When the mounting plate rises, it drives the connecting piece to retract through the slider. The connecting piece then drives the corresponding connected V-shaped clamping arm to retract relatively, thereby clamping the mold that needs to be replaced.
[0012] Preferably, the slider is slidably engaged with the groove, and the upper end of the V-shaped clamping arm and the lower end connected by the connector can be adjusted laterally, so that the position of the V-shaped clamping arm can be adjusted when clamping molds of different lengths or shapes.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic mold changing device for a cold heading machine, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] Through design, the automatic mold changing device for the cold heading machine in this utility model consists of a bracket, a support arm, and a support plate. The bracket has a built-in screw, and a top motor drives the screw to rotate to achieve automatic lifting and lowering of the support arm. The end of the support arm is rotatably connected to the annular groove on the top of the support plate through a snap ring. A limiting rod is set below the support plate, and three pairs of laterally movable V-shaped clamping arms are sleeved on it. The lower end of each pair of clamping arms is rotatably connected to a slider through a connector. The slider is embedded in the sliding grooves on both sides of the mounting plate. A hydraulic rod is installed in the middle of the support plate, and its output end passes through the support plate and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.
[0016] When the hydraulic rod retracts, the mounting plate is lifted upwards, and the slider-driven connector simultaneously drives the V-shaped clamping arms to retract, forming a clamping action on the mold. The upper and lower connecting parts of the V-shaped clamping arms can be adjusted laterally to adapt the clamping arm spacing to molds of different lengths or irregular shapes, thus expanding the clamping contact surface. Compared to the traditional single-arm structure, this design significantly improves stability through multi-point synchronous clamping, and the independent adjustment mechanism of the three sets of clamping arms can cover a variety of mold specifications. Its applicability extends to the rapid changeover scenarios of non-standard size and irregularly shaped molds, effectively shortening mold changeover time and reducing operational difficulty. Compared to traditional single-arm clamping, it offers higher clamping stability and wider applicability. Attached Figure Description
