Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of hoop processing, and more specifically, to a shaping device for producing U-shaped hoops. Background Technology

[0002] U-shaped clamps are widely used in pipeline fixing and electrical installation due to their convenient installation and secure fixation. After forming, they need to be corrected for dimensional deviations after bending (such as the width of the U-shaped opening and the consistency of the arm length) using shaping equipment to ensure a precise fit between the clamp and the fixed part. As the demand for U-shaped clamps in the infrastructure and new energy industries develops towards large-scale production, the drawbacks of traditional U-shaped clamp production and shaping equipment are becoming increasingly apparent: existing equipment generally has the problem of not being able to achieve continuous and efficient connection between feeding and discharging, leading to production process interruptions, severely restricting batch production efficiency, and driving up unit time production costs.

[0003] Traditional U-shaped clamp forming equipment is mostly a single-machine independent operation structure: in the feeding process, the bent semi-finished products need to be placed one by one in the forming station by hand. Each feeding needs to be aligned with the positioning reference. After the forming is completed, the finished products also need to be removed manually and the feeding action is repeated. The equipment has the disadvantages of idling, being affected by the interruption of feeding and unloading, and low production efficiency. Therefore, the development of U-shaped clamp production and shaping equipment that can achieve continuous and efficient feeding and discharging has become an urgent need for the industry to increase production capacity and ensure quality. Utility Model Content

[0021] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates a U-shaped clamp production shaping device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising: The equipment frame 1 and the upright plate 2 are fixed on the equipment frame 1; Feeding assembly 4, which is disposed on the vertical plate 2; Molding component 3, wherein the molding component 3 is disposed outside the upright plate 2; The molding component 3 includes a molding die 3-1, which is electrically driven and rotatably connected to the side surface of the upright plate 2. A molding hydraulic cylinder 3-2 is vertically arranged on the top of the upright plate 2. A molding pressure sleeve 3-3 is provided at the output end of the molding hydraulic cylinder 3-2. The molding pressure sleeve 3-3 is located directly above the molding die 3-1. Stabilizing seats 3-4 are provided at both ends of the side surface of the upright plate 2. Movable columns 3-5 are provided at both ends of the molding pressure sleeve 3-3. The movable columns 3-5 are vertically and movably fitted into the stabilizing seats 3-4. A positioning sleeve 3-6 is provided on the side surface of the molding die 3-1. A circular hole 3-7 is opened on the side surface of the upright plate 2. A telescopic cylinder 3-8 is horizontally installed on the side surface of the upright plate 2. A positioning block 3-9 is provided at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 3-8. The positioning block 3-9 passes through the circular hole 3-7 and is inserted into the positioning sleeve 3-6.

[0023] In some examples, in order to achieve automatic unloading and continuous processing of U-shaped clamps after stamping, and to avoid the inefficiency caused by manual material handling in traditional equipment, or the impact of workpiece jamming on production continuity, a forming component 3 was designed. This component includes a forming mold 3-1 that rotates on the side surface of the upright plate 2 via electric drive. It can rotate around the rotation axis to switch workstations. When one workstation completes stamping, the forming mold 3-1 rotates, causing the formed clamp to rotate to the bottom with the mold and automatically unload under gravity. At the same time, the other unformed workstation switches to the stamping position, realizing uninterrupted continuous processing and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0024] The rotation speed of the forming mold 3-1 can be matched with the stamping rhythm. The forming hydraulic cylinder 3-2 is vertically set at the top of the upright plate 2. The forming pressure sleeve 3-3 at the output end is located directly above the forming mold 3-1. The hydraulic drive can provide a stable and adjustable stamping pressure, which can adapt to the U-shaped forming requirements of raw materials of different thicknesses and ensure that the forming angle of the clamp is accurate and the curvature is consistent.

[0025] The movable columns 3-5 at both ends of the forming sleeve 3-3 are vertically mounted in the stabilizing seats 3-4 at both ends of the side surface of the upright plate 2. The stabilizing seats 3-4 provide vertical guidance for the movable columns 3-5, preventing the forming sleeve 3-3 from tilting during the stamping process, ensuring that the stamping force is evenly applied to the forming mold 3-1, preventing uneven force on the mold and deformation, and ensuring stable forming quality of the U-shaped clamp.

[0026] The telescopic cylinder 3-8, which is horizontally mounted on the side surface of the upright plate 2, has a positioning block 3-9 at its output end that can pass through the round hole 3-7 on the side surface of the upright plate 2 and be inserted into the positioning sleeve 3-6 on the side surface of the forming mold 3-1. When the forming mold 3-1 rotates to the designated stamping position, the telescopic cylinder 3-8 drives the positioning block 3-9 to insert into the positioning sleeve 3-6, accurately positioning and locking the mold to prevent the mold from rotating and shifting during stamping, thus ensuring accurate stamping position.

[0027] After stamping is completed, the positioning block 3-9 is removed from the positioning sleeve 3-6 by the telescopic cylinder 3-8, and the mold can then be rotated to switch workstations.

[0028] During operation, positioning block 3-9 locks the mold, and forming hydraulic cylinder 3-2 drives the pressure sleeve to stamp and form the shape. After forming, positioning block 3-9 retracts, the mold rotates to dislodge the clamp, and the workstation is switched to continue processing. Rotation switching enables continuous production, hydraulic stamping ensures forming accuracy, positioning and locking ensure processing stability, and the coordinated operation of all components achieves efficient forming and automatic unloading of the U-shaped clamp.

[0029] like Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the feeding assembly 4 in this embodiment includes a pair of movable grooves 4-1. The movable grooves 4-1 are vertically opened at both ends of the side surface of the upright plate 2. An inner rod 4-2 is provided in the movable groove 4-1. A movable block 4-3 is movably connected to the inner rod 4-2. A spring 4-4 ​​is installed on the inner rod 4-2. The spring 4-4 ​​is supported between the bottom of the movable groove 4-1 and the movable block 4-3. A support block 4-5 is provided at the front end of the movable block 4-3. A sliding plate 4-6 is provided on the side surface of the upright plate 2. A mating interface 4-7 is opened at the inner end of the sliding plate 4-6. The mating interface 4-7 slides against the side end face of the support block 4-5. A positioning notch 4-8 is opened on the surface of the support block 4-5. A blocking strip 4-9 is provided at both ends of the surface of the sliding plate 4-6.

[0030] In some examples, in order to achieve continuous replenishment and precise feeding of raw materials for U-shaped clamp production and avoid production stoppage caused by interruption of raw material replenishment, a feeding component 4 was designed. This component includes movable slots 4-1 vertically opened at both ends of the side surface of the upright plate 2, which provide installation space for the inner rod 4-2, movable block 4-3 and spring 4-4.

[0031] The inner rod 4-2 inside the movable groove 4-1 is vertically set, and the movable block 4-3 is movably fitted on the inner rod 4-2 and can slide vertically along the inner rod 4-2. The inner rod 4-2 plays a guiding role for the movable block 4-3 to prevent the movable block 4-3 from tilting when sliding.

[0032] The spring 4-4 ​​mounted on the inner rod 4-2 is supported between the bottom of the movable groove 4-1 and the movable block 4-3, providing upward elastic support to the movable block 4-3. This ensures that the movable block 4-3 drives the support block 4-5 to always maintain the height of the feeding of the molding component 3, ensuring that the raw material can be accurately connected to the molding station.

[0033] The front end of the movable block 4-3 has a positioning groove 4-8 on the surface of the support block 4-5. The shape of the groove is adapted to the shape of the raw material, which can limit the raw material and prevent it from shifting laterally on the support block 4-5. This ensures accurate positioning of the raw material and provides the correct feeding posture for subsequent stamping. The sliding plate 4-6 on the side surface of the upright plate 2 is inclined. Its inclination angle is designed to guide the raw material to slide automatically towards the support block 4-5 by gravity, so as to achieve continuous replenishment of raw material without frequent manual addition.

[0034] The inner end of the sliding plate 4-6 has a mating interface 4-7 that slides against the side end face of the support block 4-5. As the support block 4-5 slides up and down with the movable block 4-3, the mating interface 4-7 remains in contact with the support block 4-5, ensuring that the raw material can smoothly slide from the sliding plate 4-6 into the positioning slot 4-8 of the support block 4-5, preventing the raw material from getting stuck at the junction. The blocking strips 4-9 at both ends of the surface of the sliding plate 4-6 can limit the sliding range of the raw material on the sliding plate 4-6, preventing the raw material from sliding off the sides of the sliding plate 4-6, and ensuring that the raw material moves along the center of the sliding plate 4-6 towards the support block 4-5. The blocking strips 4-9 can also help to organize the arrangement of the raw material, so that the raw material slides towards the support block 4-5 in an orderly manner, avoiding the stacking of raw material and causing poor feeding.

[0035] During operation, the raw material is placed into the sliding plate 4-6 and slides along the inclined plate into the slot of the support block 4-5. The support block 4-5, under the action of the spring 4-4, lifts the raw material to connect with the forming station. After the raw material is removed, the spring 4-4 ​​pushes the support block 4-5 upward to receive new raw material. The elastic lifting ensures stable feeding height, the inclined guide enables continuous material replenishment, and the positioning slot 4-8 ensures accurate feeding. The coordinated operation of these components achieves continuous and precise replenishment of raw materials, adapting to the continuous processing requirements of the forming component 3.

[0036] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a conveyor belt 5 is installed inside the equipment frame 1, and the conveyor belt 5 is located below the forming mold 3-1.

[0037] In some examples, the conveyor belt 5 installed inside the equipment frame 1 is located below the forming mold 3-1, which can catch the U-shaped clamps that automatically fall from the forming mold 3-1, preventing the clamps from falling directly into the equipment frame 1 and causing collision damage, thus ensuring the appearance and dimensional accuracy of the clamps after forming. Through continuous operation, the conveyor belt 5 can transport the collected clamps in a designated direction, achieving automatic centralized collection of the clamps without the need for frequent manual cleaning, reducing manual intervention and further improving production continuity.

[0038] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the molding mold 3-1 has a racetrack-shaped structure, and the formed groove covers the outer surface of the molding mold 3-1.

[0039] In some examples, the structure can form multiple continuous forming stations during mold rotation, which can significantly increase the number of processes per unit time and enhance continuous processing capability compared to a single-station mold. The smooth transition characteristics of the racetrack-shaped structure can avoid jamming when the mold rotates and ensure smooth station switching.

[0040] In actual use: The raw material for producing the U-shaped clamp is placed on the sliding plate 4-6 of the feeding assembly 4. Under the action of gravity, the raw material slides along the inclined sliding plate 4-6, enters the positioning slot 4-8 of the support block 4-5 through the interface 4-7, and the blocking strip 4-9 prevents the raw material from slipping. The spring 4-4 ​​pushes the movable block 4-3 to drive the support block 4-5 to rise, so that the raw material is accurately aligned with the forming mold 3-1 of the forming assembly 3. The forming assembly 3 is started, and the telescopic cylinder 3-8 drives the positioning block 3-9 to pass through the round hole 3-7 and insert into the positioning sleeve 3-6, locking the position of the forming mold 3-1. The forming hydraulic cylinder 3-2 drives the forming pressure sleeve 3-3 to descend vertically, stamping the raw material into a U-shaped clamp. After stamping is completed, the telescopic cylinder 3-8 drives the positioning block 3-9 to exit the positioning sleeve 3-6, and the electric drive rotates the forming mold 3-1. The U-shaped clamp falls off under the action of gravity and is discharged onto the conveyor belt 5 inside the equipment frame 1. Meanwhile, under the action of spring 4-4, support block 4-5 continuously receives the new raw material conveyed by sliding plate 4-6. After forming mold 3-1 rotates to the next station, positioning block 3-9 locks the mold again. The above process is repeated to achieve continuous shaping processing. There is no need for frequent manual loading and unloading throughout the process, ensuring efficient connection between feeding and discharging.
