Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal product manufacturing technology, and in particular to an automated production equipment for two-piece metal plate products. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of tinplate products, the coordinated use of punch presses and dies is a core element. Currently, the industry generally adopts a "single-operation die" production model, which means that each die can only complete one specific processing step, such as blanking, flashing, rolling, or assembly, requiring multiple clamping and positioning.

[0003] Existing technologies in tinplate product manufacturing employ a "single-process mold" model, where each mold completes only one processing step, requiring multiple clamping and positioning operations. This model suffers from numerous defects and shortcomings: fragmented processes lead to low production efficiency; multiple independent processes necessitate repeated clamping and positioning, resulting in long single-piece production cycles, insufficient equipment utilization, poor manual alignment accuracy, reliance on manual assembly of the front and back sides, increased product defect rates, and high skill requirements for operators, thus limiting production capacity. A single stamping operation can only complete the processing of one product, failing to meet the demands of large-volume orders, leading to high production costs. Furthermore, multiple processes require multiple machines and operators, resulting in significant space occupation and increased unit product costs. Therefore, we provide an automated production equipment for two-piece metal plate products. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automated production equipment for two-piece metal plate products. It solves the technical problems of limited production capacity and high cost in the production of metal plates using a "single-process mold" that produces only one product at a time. The equipment enables automated and continuous production of key processes such as sheet cutting, trimming, rolling, and assembly. Furthermore, it introduces a positioning system to improve production capacity and product consistency, meet the demand for rapid delivery, and reduce production costs.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated production equipment for two-piece metal plate products, including a frame, on which an integrated production mechanism and a positioning mechanism for stabilizing the iron material are respectively arranged.

[0007] Preferably, a feeding frame is installed on the right side of the frame, an electric push rod is installed at the bottom of the feeding frame, and a feeding component is installed at the telescopic end of the electric push rod.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a side frame cover installed on the left side of the frame, a plurality of control push rods are installed inside the side frame cover, a T-shaped plate is installed at the output end of the control push rod, an mounting plate is installed on the T-shaped plate, and a plurality of positioning components are installed on the mounting plate.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Existing metal plate production technologies employ a "single-process mold," producing only one product at a time, resulting in limited capacity and high costs. This embodiment provides an automated production equipment for two-piece metal plate products, enabling automated continuous production of key processes such as sheet cutting, trimming, coiling, and assembly. A positioning system is introduced to improve capacity and product consistency, meet rapid delivery requirements, and reduce production costs. Please refer to... Figure 1 - Figure 6 This automated production equipment for two-piece metal plate products includes a frame 1, on which are installed an integrated production mechanism 2 and a positioning mechanism 3 for stabilizing the metal material. The production mechanism 2 integrates the processes of flashing, coiling, and assembly, and processes the metal plates through stamping and other structural methods, achieving four molds in one process, thereby increasing the production capacity of the metal plates. The positioning mechanism 3 positions the metal material, and combined with the design of alignment holes, it can improve the positioning accuracy, reduce the product defect rate, and reduce production costs.

[0029] Existing technology for producing tinplate products uses a "single-operation mold," where each mold can only complete one processing step. This results in fragmented processes, low production efficiency, long production cycles per piece, and insufficient equipment utilization, leading to increased production costs. To address these issues, the production mechanism 2 includes a stamping cylinder 21 mounted on the front of the frame 1. An upper mold 22 is installed at the output end of the stamping cylinder 21. Lower molds 23, distributed below the upper mold 22, are mounted on the frame 1. The lower molds 23 adopt a 3×8 station layout structure, with four stations corresponding to the upper cover processing steps and four stations corresponding to the lower cover processing steps, totaling 24 stations. This layout can accommodate a "one-outlet-four-mold" design, enabling synchronous parallel processing of the upper and lower covers, increasing the output quantity per batch and production continuity, and reducing the production cycle of a single set of tinplates. Furthermore, the lower molds 23 are modularly designed, allowing different stations to function as independent molds. The modular design allows for quick replacement of modules to meet different specifications of metal plates, reducing mold changeover time. Furthermore, individual modules can be repaired or replaced if one fails, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. The integrated production mechanism 2 enhances the production efficiency and flexibility of the metal plates. Hydraulic cylinders 24 and slide rails 25 are installed inside and outside the frame 1, respectively. A housing 26, slidably connected to the slide rail 25, is installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 24. A gear 27 is installed at the output end of the drive motor inside the housing 26. A slide 28 is slidably connected to the frame 1. A gear seat 29, meshing with the gear 27, is installed on the lower back of the slide 28. Multiple sets of suction devices are installed on the front of the slide 28. The suction cup rack 210 is equipped with two independent vacuum suction cup robotic arms: one for picking up and conveying the upper cover, and the other for picking up and conveying the lower cover. This adapts to the production needs of two-piece metal plates, enabling simultaneous processing and conveying of the upper and lower covers. This avoids waiting between processes, improves production rhythm and efficiency, and reduces interference between the upper and lower covers during conveying. Combined with the positioning mechanism 3, it ensures positioning accuracy during picking and conveying, reducing product defect rates caused by transfer deviations. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for manual handling, further reducing labor costs. This works in conjunction with the integrated production mechanism 2 and the multi-station layout of the lower mold 23. Together, they have improved the level of automated production of metal plates. Multiple suction cups 211 are installed on the suction rack 210, and a feeding frame 212 is installed on the right side of the frame 1. The feeding frame 212 adopts a "top-in, bottom-out" structure, which enables the orderly supply and conveying of iron materials. The upper part can continuously replenish the iron materials to be processed, and the lower part, after completing the feeding, conveys the material to the processing area, ensuring the continuity of feeding and avoiding process interruptions. An electric push rod 213 is installed at the bottom of the feeding frame 212, and a feeding component 214 is installed at the telescopic end of the electric push rod 213. The feeding component 214 is a lifting structure adapted to thin iron materials, which can stably lift thin iron materials and prevent them from bending, shifting, or falling during the conveying process due to their thinness.This ensures that the iron material enters the subsequent processing stage in a stable state. In conjunction with the positioning mechanism 3, it can further improve the positioning accuracy of the iron material during processing, reduce product defects caused by unstable feeding, and at the same time, this structure is also compatible with the automated production process of the equipment, reducing manual feeding intervention. In conjunction with the integrated production mechanism 2, it can improve the overall production efficiency. The upper die 22 is driven downward by the stamping cylinder 21 to cooperate with the lower die 23 below, completing stamping processes such as trimming and coiling of the iron material. The lower die 23 adopts a 3×8 station layout, with four stations corresponding to the upper cover processing and four stations corresponding to the lower cover processing, allowing simultaneous processing of two structural iron plates. Simultaneously, the hydraulic cylinder 24 pushes the machine housing 26 to slide up and down along the slide rail 25. Inside the machine housing 26, the drive motor drives the gear 27 to rotate. The gear 27 meshes with the gear seat 29 on the back of the slide 28, thereby moving the slide 28 left and right. The suction cup 210 on the front of the slide 28 uses suction cups 211 to pick up the processed iron plates, which are then conveyed to the next process by the slide 28. Combined with the loading action of the loading frame 212, this achieves automated "processing-transfer" connection, improving production efficiency.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the existing metal plate production technology uses a "single-process mold," which not only requires multiple clamping and positioning, resulting in low efficiency due to the dispersed process and high defect rate due to manual alignment, but also produces only one product at a time, leading to limited production capacity and high costs. However, the existing metal plate production equipment requires multiple clamping and positioning, resulting in low production efficiency due to the dispersed process and increased defect rate due to manual alignment, thus reducing the production efficiency of metal plates. Therefore, this device also has a structure to stabilize the iron material.

[0032] Existing metal plate production equipment requires multiple clamping and positioning operations, resulting in a fragmented process. Furthermore, manual alignment can easily lead to low production efficiency. To address these issues, a positioning mechanism 3 includes a side frame cover 31 installed on the left side of the frame 1. Multiple control push rods 32 are installed inside the side frame cover 31. A T-shaped plate 33 is installed at the output end of each control push rod 32. A mounting plate 34 is installed on the T-shaped plate 33, and multiple positioning components 35 are installed on the mounting plate 34. The control push rod 32 inside the side frame cover 31 extends and retracts, driving the T-shaped plate 33 and the mounting plate 34 to move. The positioning part 35 on the mounting plate 34 adjusts its position accordingly, cooperating with the semi-circular alignment hole on the iron material to perform preliminary positioning of the iron material after it is split. At the same time, this positioning structure is compatible with the magnetic feeding device with positioning hole and the "top in, bottom out" structure of the feeding rack, which restricts the displacement of the iron material during feeding and processing. Combined with the synchronous assembly action of the two sets of independent vacuum suction cup robots in the production mechanism 2, it ensures the alignment accuracy of the upper cover and the lower cover during transmission and assembly, reduces product defects caused by positioning deviation, and improves processing stability.
