Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forging dies for water meter housings, and more specifically, to a forging die for water meter housings. Background Technology
[0002] A water meter is an instrument for measuring water flow. Most of them measure the cumulative flow of water. They are generally divided into two categories: volumetric water meters and velocity water meters. Originating in the UK, water meters have been developed for nearly two hundred years. When selecting a water meter, you should first estimate the flow rate and range you usually use, and then choose the water meter with the closest commonly used flow rate as your first choice. During the manufacturing process of the water meter, the meter casing is divided into an upper cover and a lower casing. The lower casing has an irregular structure and is generally manufactured by casting. The upper cover adopts a concave ring cover structure and is installed on the lower casing by threads. During the manufacturing process of the upper cover, due to the need for pressure resistance, it is generally forged. Forging requires the use of special forging die equipment. In the existing technology, when forging the upper cover of the water meter, an automatic robotic arm is generally used to remove the formed workpiece, and then it is transported out. This has low material removal efficiency and high cost of robotic arms. Utility Model Content

(A chain conveyor belt is a conveying device that achieves continuous and stable transmission of items on a production line through the combination of a chain and chain plates. In existing technology, its core lies in the synergistic effect of two major functional modules: the driving force of the chain and the load-bearing capacity of the chain plates. The chain is usually made of high-strength alloy steel, which has the characteristics of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high load-bearing capacity. Driven by the drive device, the chain circulates along a preset track, providing a continuous power source for the chain conveyor belt. The chain plates are tightly connected to the chain conveyor belt.) A continuous conveyor surface is formed on the chain to carry and transport goods. The design of the chain conveyor belt takes into account the shape and weight of the goods, as well as the stability requirements during transportation, thus offering a variety of material and structural options. For example, plastic chain plates can be used for lightweight items to reduce noise and friction; while metal chain plates are required for heavy items to ensure load-bearing capacity. In addition, chain conveyor lines are often equipped with auxiliary equipment such as guiding devices, tensioning devices, and anti-slip devices to ensure the stability and accuracy of goods during transportation. Chain conveyor belts are widely used in various industrial fields such as food processing and packaging transportation, and have high durability and ease of maintenance. When it is used, Hydraulic cylinders 3 are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the left and right sides of the upper mold body 2.

During forging, after the workpiece blank is placed into the mold cavity 50, it can be driven by the hydraulic cylinders 3 to forge. The die head 6 forges and shapes the workpiece. After shaping, the first cylinder 71 drives the support plate 70 to slide and move along the positioning groove, which can move the support plate 70 and open the bottom cavity 50 of the die base body 5.
