Description

Technical Field

[0002] Cold heading production equipment is a processing device that applies external force to metal materials, causing them to undergo plastic deformation within a mold to form a workpiece. Cold heading production uses robotic arms for automation to replace manual labor in repetitive operations such as loading and unloading, avoiding the problems of low efficiency, fatigue, and high safety risks associated with manual operation. Its role is to improve production efficiency, ensure stable processing accuracy, reduce labor costs, improve the safety of the working environment, and achieve continuous and intelligent production.

[0003] The working principle of an automated cold heading production equipment using a robotic arm is as follows: The automation control module, according to a preset program, instructs the material conveying device to deliver the metal raw material to a designated location. Driven by the drive module, the industrial robotic arm picks up the material using a gripping device and precisely transfers it into the cold heading main die. The stamping mechanism of the cold heading main die applies external force to the raw material, causing it to undergo plastic deformation and complete the forming process. The robotic arm then removes the finished product and transfers it to the next process. Throughout the entire process, sensors provide real-time feedback, and the control module coordinates the linkage of various parts to achieve automated production cycles.

[0038] Working principle: First, the vibratory feeder 7 vibrates to remove the raw material. Then, the operator starts motor 32, which drives the moving rod 33 to move, causing the motor block 34 to move up and down. Under the action of the motor block 34, the rotating rod 42 rotates, causing the rotating disk 43 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating rod 44 to rotate, thus causing the rotating plate 45 to rotate under the action of the rotating rod 44. This causes the top connecting plate 46 to move, which in turn causes the moving block 47 to move, thus causing the top picking component 48 to move back and forth. This achieves automatic micro-adjustment of the picking component 48. In addition, it can accurately adapt to workpieces of different specifications, improve gripping stability, reduce human intervention errors, and improve production accuracy and efficiency.

[0039] Then, the collaborative robot 6 places the object inside the mold, causing the mold to rotate. After the rotation is complete, the operator activates the electric pusher block 84, which moves the moving plate 85, causing the moving plate 85 to move towards the pusher plate 86, which in turn pushes the object inside the mold. The object then enters the recycling bin under the action of the inclined plate, thus realizing automatic material handling in cold heading production. In addition, it replaces manual material handling, thereby reducing labor intensity and safety risks.
