Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chain plate production technology, specifically to an automatic sorting punch press. Background Technology

[0002] Chain links are typically processed using a punch press, which is equipped with dies to form the chain links. During die processing, the chain links are punched into shape at the chain link forming station. Simultaneously, waste material from the raw steel strip used to make the chain links is removed at the next station. Because the machine platform with the lower die is relatively high, the formed chain links cannot fall directly into the parts collection box. A sorting pipe is usually used to collect the parts. However, during the chain link punching process, some fragments and residual waste are inevitably generated. The sorting pipe only has a transport function and cannot separate qualified chain links, fragments, and residual waste. Manual sorting by workers is often required near the parts collection box, resulting in high labor costs and a heavy workload. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention discloses an automatic sorting punch press, which can sort parts, scraps, and waste materials, thereby avoiding the problem of large manual labor caused by parts mixed with waste materials (scraps, residual waste).

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0005] An automatic sorting punch press includes a punch press body, a machine platform on the punch press body, a lower die on the top of the machine platform, and a punching mechanism of the punch press connected to an upper die that cooperates with the lower die. The lower die has a chain link forming station for cutting out complete chain link parts, and a waste material cutting station for cutting off steel strip scrap is provided on one side of the chain link forming station. The chain link forming station has a second material dropping groove at the bottom that penetrates the lower die and the bottom of the machine platform, and a first material dropping groove at the bottom of the waste material cutting station that penetrates the lower die and the bottom of the machine platform. A waste material collection mechanism is provided below the first material dropping groove, and a chain link collection mechanism is provided below the second material dropping groove. The chain link collection mechanism has a sorting mechanism for sorting chain links and scrap materials.

[0006] Preferably, the waste collection mechanism includes a first conveyor belt that is vertically opposite to the first discharge chute, and a waste collection box for collecting waste is provided on one side of the output end of the first conveyor belt.

[0007] Preferably, the chain piece collecting mechanism includes a second conveyor belt that is vertically opposite to the second discharge chute, and a parts collecting box for collecting finished chain pieces is provided on one side of the output end of the second conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, the sorting mechanism includes an image recognition device located on one side of the second conveyor belt and an air gun used in conjunction with the image recognition device, wherein the jet nozzle of the air gun is directly opposite the detection position of the image recognition device on the second conveyor belt.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a controller, which is connected to the image recognition device via a wire signal and configured to control the air gun and the second conveyor belt.

[0010] This novel automatic sorting punch press has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This new invention can sort steel strip waste and chain links. At the same time, it can further sort the residual material mixed in the chain links through an image recognition device and blow away the residual material with an air gun, so that the chain links collected in the parts collection box are all qualified products, which greatly saves manpower and reduces the amount of labor.

[0015] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in a step-by-step manner. This description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or a specific orientational structure and operation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0017] Example 1

[0018] An automatic sorting punch press, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, it includes a punch press body 1, a machine base 2 on the punch press body 1, and a lower die (such as...) on the top of the machine base 2. Figure 1As shown in the figure (not marked), the punching mechanism (i.e., the punch press slide) of the punch press body 1 is connected to an upper die (such as...) that cooperates with the lower die. Figure 1 As shown in the figure (not marked), the lower mold is provided with a chain piece forming station for cutting out complete chain piece parts, and a waste material cutting station for cutting off steel strip scrap is provided on one side of the chain piece forming station. The steel strip is the raw material used to manufacture the chain pieces. The steel strip moves stepwise from the chain piece forming station to the waste material cutting station, thereby cutting out the chain pieces and cutting off the waste material in sequence. The mold for making the chain pieces is existing technology, and its detailed structure is not described in this invention.

[0019] The improvement of this invention lies in the following: a second material discharge trough 9 is provided at the bottom of the chain link forming station, penetrating the lower die and the bottom of the machine base 2; a first material discharge trough 8 is provided at the bottom of the waste material removal station, penetrating the lower die and the bottom of the machine base 2; a waste material collection mechanism is provided below the first material discharge trough 8; a chain link collection mechanism is provided below the second material discharge trough 9; and a sorting mechanism is provided on the chain link collection mechanism for sorting chain links and residual materials. The residual materials mentioned in this invention refer to defective chain links (i.e., fragments) generated during the die stamping process, as well as residual waste generated due to the production of defective chain links. These residual materials usually require manual sorting, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. After this improvement, the manual sorting process for residual materials can be eliminated, as the sorting mechanism automatically removes the residual materials mixed in with the chain links.

[0020] Example 2

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the waste collection mechanism includes a first conveyor belt 3 that is vertically opposite to the first material drop chute 8, and a waste collection box 7 for collecting waste is provided on one side of the output end of the first conveyor belt 3. After the steel strip waste generated at the end of the mold production chain is cut off, it falls onto the first conveyor belt through the first material drop chute 8 and is then transported to the waste collection box 7 by the first conveyor belt.

[0022] Example 3

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the chain piece collecting mechanism includes a second conveyor belt 4 that is vertically opposite to the second discharge chute 9, and a parts collection box 6 for collecting finished chain pieces is provided on one side of the output end of the second conveyor belt 4.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the sorting mechanism includes an image recognition device 5 (which can be fixed to one side of the second conveyor belt by a bracket) located on one side of the second conveyor belt 4, and an air gun (a common device not shown in the figure, which can also be fixed to one side of the second conveyor belt by a bracket) used in conjunction with the image recognition device 5. The jet end of the air gun is directly opposite the detection position of the image recognition device 5 on the second conveyor belt.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a controller (preferably a PLC controller), which is connected to the image recognition device 5 via a wire signal and configured to control the air gun and the second conveyor belt 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the formed parts, fragments, and residual waste materials fall onto the second conveyor belt via the chain forming station and the second discharge chute 9, the controller determines whether they are qualified parts, fragments, or residual waste materials based on the image recognition device 5. If they are the latter two, the second conveyor belt stops, the air gun operates, and the fragments and residual waste materials are blown away from the second conveyor belt. If they are qualified parts, the conveying continues until the parts are conveyed to the parts collection box 6.
