Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining, and in particular to a punching tool for cylindrical material heads. Background Technology

[0002] In the mechanical manufacturing process, when rolling sheet metal into cylinders, an extra section of sheet metal is usually reserved to assist in welding and prevent welding deformation. This excess section is called the sprue. After welding is completed, the sprue is the part that needs to be removed to ensure that the cylinder meets the specifications.

[0003] Punching is a common separation process for removing sprue heads. During punching, the punch descends and contacts the sheet metal. The sheet metal undergoes elastic deformation under the pressure of the punch and die, bending and lifting off the die surface due to torque. As the punch continues to press down, the material at the cutting edge reaches plasticity, undergoing plastic deformation and extending into the sheet metal until the entire sheet metal undergoes plastic deformation, with one part moving relative to another. During this process, the torque presses the sheet metal against the cutting edge surface, forming a bright cut. When the material strain and stress reach their limits, cracks form and propagate, ultimately separating the sheet metal. However, currently used punching equipment, when processing cylindrical sprue heads, suffers from difficulty in precise alignment as the cutting head descends with the pressure plate. This not only increases the difficulty of equipment debugging but also frequently leads to overcutting, resulting in product scrap or requiring secondary processing of residual sprue heads, severely reducing product yield. To effectively solve these problems, a novel cylindrical sprue head punching fixture solution is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve precise punching of the cylinder head, improve punching stability, and enhance the applicability and flexibility of the tooling, this utility model proposes the following technical solution:

[0005] A blanking fixture for hollow cylinders includes a lower template, an upper template, and a punching machine. The lower template has an arc-shaped support module fixedly mounted on it. Movable baffles are installed on both sides of the front end of the arc-shaped support module, and a chuck is provided at the rear end. When the lower end of the hollow cylinder is placed on the arc-shaped support module and pressed against its inner arc surface, the movable baffles block the front end of the hollow cylinder, and the chuck presses down against the inner wall of the hollow cylinder, causing the blank to extend beyond the front end of the arc-shaped support module. The upper template has a connecting block, and a cutting head is fixedly connected to the connecting block. The cutting head cooperates with the arc-shaped support module, and when the cutting head punches downwards, it cuts off the blank extending beyond the front end of the arc-shaped support module.

[0006] Preferably, a limiting block is installed in front of the arc-shaped support module. The distance between the limiting block and the support module is the thickness of the cutting head. When the cutting head presses downward, it slides and engages with the limiting block and the side wall of the arc-shaped support module, respectively.

[0007] Preferably, a chuck seat is fixedly installed on the lower template, the chuck seat is provided with a threaded hole, and the chuck is provided with a straight groove. The straight groove of the chuck and the threaded hole of the chuck seat cooperate with each other. By adding a screw head, the chuck can be fixed.

[0008] Preferably, the blade is rectangular and has a curved front end.

[0009] Preferably, the lower template is fixedly connected to the worktable of the stamping machine, and the upper template is fixedly connected to the punch of the stamping machine.

[0010] Preferably, the arc-shaped support module has screw heads on both sides of its front end, the movable baffle has through holes, the screw heads pass through the through holes of the movable baffle, and the movable baffle can be fixed by screwing on the screw heads and nuts.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. The arc-shaped support module of this utility model works in conjunction with the movable baffle and clamp to stably fix the hollow cylinder, making the material head protrusion position precisely controllable. The cutter head of the upper template cooperates precisely with the arc-shaped support module to ensure that each punching is performed in the preset position, greatly improving the punching accuracy and ensuring the consistency of product quality.

[0013] 2. The sliding fit between the limiting block and the side wall of the arc-shaped support module of this utility model restricts the movement of the cutter head, ensuring a stable trajectory during stamping and preventing wobbling or deviation. This not only improves the stamping quality but also reduces wear on the cutter head caused by unstable impacts, extending its service life and thus lowering production costs.

[0014] 3. This utility model's chuck uses a straight slot to mate with the threaded hole of the chuck seat and is fixed with a screw head, allowing for easy adjustment of the chuck position according to hollow cylinders of different diameters, meeting diverse processing needs. The movable baffle is fixed with a screw head and nut, allowing for flexible position adjustment to adapt to punching cylinders of different lengths, enhancing the tooling's versatility and applicability. The arc design of the cutter head's tip better conforms to the shape of the cylinder material, reducing stress concentration during punching, and effectively punching cylinder materials of different materials and hardness, improving the tooling's adaptability.
