Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of circuit board production equipment, specifically relating to a transverse transfer punching press. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of flexible circuit boards, punching machines are often used for punching. A punching machine typically has a punching device consisting of an upper die assembly that moves vertically and a lower die assembly that moves horizontally. The lower die assembly can move between the loading position and the punching position. Manual loading and unloading can be used for the punching device, but this method is inefficient and inaccurate in positioning. Therefore, some punching machines are equipped with additional loading and unloading machines for product loading and unloading. This method occupies a large space and increases production costs due to the additional loading and unloading machines. To save space, some punching machines integrate the loading and unloading machines within the punching equipment; however, this method results in complex product positioning, thus requiring high precision from the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a punch press with a simple structure and easy positioning.

[0004] To achieve the aforementioned main objectives, this utility model provides a transverse transfer punching press, including a frame and a housing. A punching device is disposed within the housing, comprising an upper die assembly movable vertically and a lower die assembly movable horizontally. A mounting plate is fixedly disposed within the frame, and the upper and lower die assemblies are mounted on the mounting plate. The lower die assembly can move between a loading position, a punching position, and a unloading position, wherein the punching position is located between the loading and unloading positions. The frame also includes a loading robot and an unloading robot. The loading robot includes a loading X-axis moving module, a loading Z-axis moving module, and a loading gripping mechanism. The loading gripping mechanism can move along the X-axis direction and the vertical direction to grip the product to be punched and place it on the lower die assembly located at the loading position. The unloading robot includes an unloading X-axis moving module, an unloading Z-axis moving module, and an unloading gripping mechanism. The unloading gripping mechanism can move along the X-axis direction and the vertical direction to grip the punched product from the lower die assembly located at the unloading position and collect the material. The X-axis direction is consistent with the horizontal movement direction of the lower die assembly.

[0005] As can be seen from the above scheme, by moving the lower die assembly between the loading position, the punching position and the unloading position, and with the X-axis movement direction of the loading robot and the unloading robot being consistent with the movement direction of the lower die assembly, that is, both product loading and unloading adopt the same lateral transfer method as the movement direction of the lower die assembly, there is basically no longitudinal displacement when loading and unloading the product. The product positioning method is simple and easy to operate, and thus the structure of the punch press is simple and the product is easy to position.

[0006] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the mounting plate is provided with two sliding rails, the lower mold assembly includes a mold platform and a lower mold, the mold platform includes an upper mounting part for mounting the lower mold, a lower mounting part for slidably mounting the mold platform on the sliding rails, and a lifting cylinder connecting the upper mounting part and the lower mounting part, the lifting cylinder being located directly above the sliding rails.

[0007] As can be seen from the above solutions, by setting up a lifting cylinder, the impact of the lower die assembly on the sliding track can be reduced during product punching, and the product can be effectively prevented from tilting up during punching.

[0008] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a load-bearing block is provided on the mounting plate. When the upper mold assembly punches downward, it pushes the lower mold assembly to abut against the load-bearing block. When the upper mold assembly moves upward, the lifting cylinder pushes the lower mold assembly to disengage from the load-bearing block.

[0009] As can be seen from the above scheme, by setting up a load-bearing block, the impact force of the upper mold assembly is mainly borne by the load-bearing block, thereby reducing the impact force of the lower mold assembly on the sliding track. This can keep the relative position between the lower mold assembly and the sliding track fixed, even if it is different from the direction of movement, and it is not easy to cause displacement. In addition, the lifting cylinder pushes the lower mold assembly to disengage from the load-bearing block, so that the load-bearing block does not affect the sliding of the lower mold assembly along the sliding track.

[0010] According to a specific embodiment of this utility model, the lifting cylinder includes a cylinder body and a piston, wherein the top wall of the cylinder body abuts against the upper mounting portion, and the bottom of the piston is fixed to the lower mounting portion. The lifting cylinder is easy to install and can play an effective role.

[0011] According to one specific embodiment of this utility model, four lifting cylinders are configured, with two cylinders positioned above each sliding track. Multiple lifting cylinders allow for more even force distribution.

[0012] According to a specific embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the cylinder body is square, and the upper mounting portion is provided with an abutting part that abuts against the inner outer wall of the cylinder body. The abutting part can prevent the position of the lifting cylinder from shifting.

[0013] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the loading robot includes a first X-axis moving track disposed above the frame and fixedly connected to the frame, the first X-axis moving track extending along the X-axis direction from the loading end of the punch press across the loading position to above the upper die assembly; the unloading robot includes a second X-axis moving track disposed above the frame and fixedly connected to the frame, the second X-axis moving track extending from the unloading end of the punch press across the unloading position to above the upper die assembly.

[0014] As can be seen from the above scheme, by extending the moving track above the upper mold assembly, the X-axis moving module and the moving track have a longer mating length, thus making the movement of the X-axis moving module relative to the moving track smoother.

[0015] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the loading Z-axis moving module is disposed at the outer end of the loading X-axis moving module, and the loading Z-axis moving module can extend out of the machine housing through the first opening in the side wall of the machine housing; the unloading Z-axis moving module is disposed at the outer end of the unloading X-axis moving module, and the unloading Z-axis moving module can extend out of the machine housing through the second opening in the side wall of the machine housing.

[0016] As can be seen from the above scheme, both the loading Z-axis moving module and the unloading moving module can be moved to the outside of the machine housing. The gripping mechanism can grip the product to be punched from outside the punch press, or place the punched product outside the punch press, thus making the loading and unloading of products more flexible.

[0017] According to a specific embodiment of this utility model, the loading robot further includes a first R-axis rotating module, and the loading gripping mechanism is disposed below the first R-axis rotating module; the unloading robot further includes a second R-axis rotating module, and the unloading gripping mechanism is disposed below the second R-axis rotating module; along a horizontal direction perpendicular to the X-axis, the first X-axis moving track and the second X-axis moving track are respectively located on both sides of the stamping device. The R-axis rotating module allows for further adjustment of the product's position; by positioning the first X-axis moving track and the second X-axis moving track on opposite sides of the stamping device, the moving tracks can extend further inward without interference.

[0018] According to a specific embodiment of this utility model, the lower mold assembly is provided with an upward-facing cleaning brush. The cleaning brush allows the upper mold assembly to be cleaned as the lower mold assembly moves along the sliding track.

[0019] To more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, other possible implementations that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described herein are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] In this embodiment, terms such as "front," "back," "left," and "right" are used to indicate direction for clarity and do not necessarily indicate location or orientation. The positional relationships of various devices and mechanisms may differ in other specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the transverse transfer punching press 100 includes a housing 10 and a frame 11, wherein the housing covers the frame and protects the internal structure of the frame 11. The punching device 40 is located in the middle of the punch press, with a loading robot 20 on the left and a unloading robot 30 on the right. The punching device 40 includes an upper die assembly 41, a lower die assembly 42, a mounting plate 43 for mounting the upper and lower die assemblies, and a servo motor that applies force to the upper die assembly 41 to move it in the vertical direction. The lower die assembly 42 can move between the loading position, the punching position, and the unloading position, which are arranged sequentially from left to right along the F direction. The first X-axis moving track 21 of the loading robot 20 extends along the X-axis from the left end of the punch press (i.e., the loading end) across the loading position to above the upper die assembly 41. The second X-axis moving track 31 of the unloading robot 30 extends along the opposite X-axis from the right end of the punch press (i.e., the unloading end) across the unloading position to above the upper die assembly 41. Furthermore, along the horizontal direction perpendicular to the X-axis (i.e., the front-to-back direction), the first X-axis moving track 21 is located behind the stamping device 40, while the second X-axis moving track 31 is located in front of the stamping device 40; that is, the two X-axis moving tracks are arranged alternately.

[0032] See Figure 5 The loading robot 20 includes a first X-axis moving track 21, a loading X-axis moving module 22, a loading Z-axis moving module 23, and a loading gripping mechanism 25. The loading robot 20 may further include a first R-axis rotating module 24. The loading gripping mechanism 25 is located below the first R-axis rotating module, so that the loading gripping mechanism 25 can move along the X-axis direction and the vertical direction, and rotate along the rotation axis of the first R-axis rotating module 24 to grip the product to be punched and place it on the lower die assembly 42 located at the loading position. The loading gripping mechanism 25 may be a suction cup. The feeding X-axis moving module 22 has a long horizontal extension that cooperates with the first X-axis moving track 21, which makes its movement along the X-axis smoother. The feeding Z-axis moving module 23 is located on the front side of the outer end of the feeding X-axis moving module 22, i.e. the left end. When the feeding Z-axis moving module 23 extends out of the machine housing 10 from the first opening, it can still ensure the stable cooperation and smooth movement of the feeding X-axis moving module 22 and the first X-axis moving track 21, so that the feeding gripping mechanism 25 can grip the product to be punched from outside the punch press.

[0033] The structure of the unloading robot 30 is similar to that of the loading robot 20. It may include a second X-axis moving track 31, an unloading X-axis moving module, an unloading Z-axis moving module 33, a second R-axis rotating module, and an unloading gripping mechanism. The unloading gripping mechanism can move along the X-axis and vertically, and rotate along the rotation axis of the second R-axis rotating module to grip the punched product of the lower die assembly 42 located at the unloading position and remove it for collection. The unloading X-axis moving module also has a long horizontal extension that cooperates with the second X-axis moving track 31. The unloading Z-axis moving module 33 is located on the rear side of the outer end, i.e., the right end, of the unloading X-axis moving module, so that the unloading gripping mechanism can grip the punched product and move it outside the punch press for placement.

[0034] See Figures 6 to 9 The upper die assembly 41 of the punching device 40 is supported above the lower die assembly 42. Two sliding rails 431 are provided on the mounting plate 43, allowing the lower die assembly 42 to move between the loading position, the punching position, and the unloading position. A detection camera can be installed on the frame 11 above the loading and unloading positions to detect the position of the product to be punched and the product after punching. The lower die assembly 42 includes a die platform and a lower die. The die platform includes an upper mounting part 421 for mounting the lower die, a lower mounting part 423 for slidably mounting the die platform on the sliding rails 431, and a lifting cylinder 422 connecting the upper mounting part 421 and the lower mounting part 423. There can be four lifting cylinders 422, with two positioned above each sliding rail 431, and each lifting cylinder positioned directly above the sliding rail 431. A cleaning brush may also be provided on one side of the mold platform to clean the bottom of the upper mold assembly 41 when the drive mechanism 424 drives the lower mold assembly 42 and causes the lower mold assembly 42 to slide along the sliding track 431.

[0035] A load-bearing block 432 is provided on the mounting plate 43, positioned below the lower die assembly 42 when the lower die assembly 42 is in the punching position. The lifting cylinder 422 includes a cylinder body 4222 and a piston 4221, wherein the top wall of the cylinder body 4222 abuts against the upper mounting portion 421, and the bottom of the piston 4221 is fixed to the lower mounting portion 423. The outer wall of the cylinder body 4222 is square, and the upper mounting portion 421 has an abutment portion 425 that abuts against the inner outer wall of the cylinder body. When the upper die assembly 41 punches downwards, it pushes the lower die assembly 42 to abut against the load-bearing block 432; when the upper die assembly 41 moves upwards, the lifting cylinder 422 pushes the lower die assembly 42 away from the load-bearing block 432. By providing the lifting cylinder, the impact of the lower die assembly 42 on the sliding rail 431 can be reduced during product punching, and the product can be effectively prevented from warping during punching.

[0036] When punching products using this invention, the loading X-axis moving module 22 of the loading robot 20 moves along the first X-axis moving track 21 to above the product to be punched. After the loading gripping mechanism 25 moves downward and grips the product to be punched, the loading gripping mechanism 25 moves upward and to the right. The lower die assembly 42 moves to the left to its loading position. The loading gripping mechanism 25 moves above the lower die assembly 42 and places the product to be punched on the lower die of the lower die assembly 42. After being positioned by the detection camera, the lower die assembly 42 moves the product to be punched to the punching position, and the upper die assembly 41 moves downward. When punching the product, the lower die assembly 42 is driven downward to abut against the support block 432 and then stops moving downward. After the punching process is completed, the upper die assembly 41 moves upward, and the lower die assembly 42 moves upward under the action of the lifting cylinder 422. The lower die assembly 42 disengages from the support block 432 and has a gap. The lower die assembly 42 moves with the punched product to the material feeding position. The material feeding robot 30 moves to the top of the material feeding position and then grabs the punched product from the lower die assembly 42 and moves it upward and to the right to the next process or for collection.

[0037] Since both the loading and unloading robots can move outside the machine housing to grip products to be punched or place punched products, the loading robot can directly grab the products to be punched from the discharge position of the previous process, while the unloading robot can directly place the punched products to the loading position of the next process, thus making the product processing flow simpler and more convenient. The product's horizontal displacement within the punch press is only lateral, resulting in a simple structure and convenient positioning of the punch press.

[0038] While the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any person skilled in the art may make modifications without departing from the scope of the invention; all variations or modifications made in accordance with the present invention shall be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
