Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of track plate punching technology, and specifically to an automated fixture for track plate punching. Background Technology

[0002] Track shoes are key load-bearing components in the track systems of engineering machinery, agricultural machinery, and military vehicles. They are typically plate-shaped structures made of high-strength steel or cast iron, used to connect track links and directly contact the ground to transmit driving force. During their manufacturing process, precise connecting slots need to be pre-drilled in the middle to ensure reliable assembly with track pins later on, achieving articulated connection of the track chain, and withstanding impact, wear, and alternating loads under complex working conditions, ensuring the stability, flexibility, and durability of the walking system.

[0003] Chinese Patent Announcement No. CN222405987U discloses a rapid positioning device for workpieces used in track plate punching. This patent enables automated processing through a detection mechanism, and the workpiece tail does not need to be removed. It can automatically determine the completion of punching. At the same time, different models can be quickly switched through preset slots. This solves the safety hazards caused by the need to manually remove the tail in the prior art and the problem of cumbersome adjustment when processing different models of workpieces.

[0004] In existing technologies, waste generated during track plate grooving is easily retained in the grooving cutter. If it is not removed in time, it can easily cause the punch to jam or be overloaded. At the same time, the punching force generated during track plate grooving can easily cause it to deviate, affecting the grooving accuracy and production continuity. Based on this, this utility model designs an automated fixture for track plate grooving to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an automated fixture for punching grooves in track plates.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An automated fixture for grooving track plates includes a worktable. Multiple support rods are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the worktable. A waste recycling assembly and a grooving assembly are mounted on the upper surface of the worktable. An automated fixing assembly is mounted on the outer surface of the grooving assembly. The waste recycling assembly includes two waste recycling platforms fixedly connected to the upper surface of the worktable. A pair of recycling chambers are formed inside the two waste recycling platforms, and a recycling box is slidably connected to the inner cavity of each recycling chamber. A cold-rolled steel plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each waste recycling platform near the recycling chamber. The grooving assembly includes two connecting frames fixedly connected to the upper surface of the worktable. Hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of both connecting frames. One end of each hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to a mounting block. A grooving plate is mounted on the lower surface of the mounting block, and multiple grooving cutters are fixedly connected to the bottom of the grooving plate. The automated fixing assembly includes two fixing plates fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting block. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of each fixing plate, and a clamping plate is fixedly connected to one end of each telescopic rod.

[0007] Furthermore, a connecting plate and a long plate are fixedly connected between the support rods, and a friction pad is fixedly connected to one end of each support rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper surface of the waste recycling platform is provided with multiple fixing grooves, and track plates are engaged inside the fixing grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the recycling bin, and an anti-slip sleeve is fitted onto the outer surface of the handle.

[0010] Furthermore, a silicone pad is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the clamp, and the thickness of the silicone pad is between cm and cm.

[0011] Furthermore, a spring is fitted onto the outer surface of the telescopic rod, with one end of the spring connected to the lower surface of the fixed plate and the other end connected to the upper surface of the clamping plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a storage chamber is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the long plate and the connecting plate, a storage box is snapped into the inside of the storage chamber, and a pull rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the storage box.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper surface of the waste recycling platform is provided with multiple recycling holes. Beneficial effects

[0014] This solution uses support rods, connecting plates, and long plates to form a stable load-bearing frame, which can withstand high-intensity impact loads when the track plates are punched, effectively suppressing mechanical vibration and displacement, maintaining the overall stability of the device, improving the repeatability and safety of slot forming, and providing a solid foundation for dual-station alternating operation and continuous production.

[0015] The vertical stamping action is completed by driving the slotting plate with a hydraulic rod. In conjunction with the telescopic rod, spring and clamping plate with silicone pad in the automated fixing component, a flexible clamping system with elastic compensation capability is formed. During the stamping process, the track plate is gradually pressed down synchronously with the punch. This avoids surface damage caused by rigid contact and effectively suppresses workpiece displacement caused by intense stamping force. As a result, it reduces quality problems such as slot shape deviation and increased burrs caused by positioning misalignment, and improves product consistency and production continuity.

[0016] By combining the waste recycling platform, recycling hole, and detachable recycling box with the storage chamber at the bottom of the grooving plate, the metal waste generated during the punching process can be promptly diverted, preventing it from accumulating inside the grooving tool and causing blockage, springback, or jamming. This effectively avoids the risk of punch jamming, uneven load, or even breakage caused by waste accumulation, thereby achieving centralized collection and orderly management of processing waste, avoiding debris splashing that pollutes the environment or affects subsequent operations, and comprehensively improving the cleanliness and safety of the work site.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0022] In some embodiments, please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figures 1-6 An automated fixture for punching grooves in track plates includes a workbench 1, with multiple support rods 101 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the workbench 1, and a waste recycling assembly 2 installed on the upper surface of the workbench 1.

[0023] The waste recycling assembly 2 consists of two waste recycling platforms 201 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench 1. Each waste recycling platform 201 has a pair of recycling chambers 202 inside. A recycling box 203 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of each recycling chamber 202. A cold-rolled steel plate 205 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the waste recycling platform 201 near the recycling chamber 202. Multiple recycling holes 204 are provided on the upper surface of the waste recycling platform 201. The cold-rolled steel plate 205 can withstand the pressure of the track plate 104 during placement and also serve as a support surface for the stamping reaction force. Simultaneously, the recycling holes 204 facilitate pushing the metal scrap generated during punching into the recycling box 203 below, achieving immediate waste discharge. A handle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the recycling box 203, and an anti-slip sleeve is fitted onto the outer surface of the handle, making it easy to remove the recycling box 203 from the recycling chamber 202 and process the waste stored inside.

[0024] In this embodiment of the utility model, a grooving assembly 3 is installed on the upper surface of the workbench 1. The grooving assembly 3 includes two connecting brackets 301 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench 1. A hydraulic rod 302 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of each of the two connecting brackets 301. A mounting block 303 is fixedly connected to one end of the hydraulic rod 302. A grooving plate 304 is installed on the lower surface of the mounting block 303. A plurality of grooving cutters 305 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the grooving plate 304. The grooving cutters 305 are made of Cr12MoV alloy tool steel, and after heat treatment, the hardness reaches HRC60 or above, which has high wear resistance and impact resistance.

[0025] A connecting plate 103 and a long plate 102 are fixedly connected between the support rods 101. The connecting plate 103 and the long plate 102 can enhance the stability of the workbench 1 and prevent the equipment from shaking or deforming during high-load stamping. A friction pad is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 101. A storage chamber 306 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the long plate 102 and the connecting plate 103. A storage box 307 is snapped into the inside of the storage chamber 306. A pull rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the storage box 307. The track plate 104 that has been punched can be stored through the storage box 307.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the track plate 104 to be processed is inserted into the fixing groove 406 on the waste recycling table 201 to complete the initial positioning. After the worker confirms that the position is correct, the power supply and controller of the hydraulic rod 302 are started through the main controller, so that the hydraulic rod 302 drives the punching plate 304 under the mounting block 303 to move downward, so that the punching cutter 305 penetrates the track plate 104 to form the required groove shape. At the same time, the worker can simultaneously place the next track plate 104 to be processed on the same station on the other side of the workbench 1. Using the dual-station alternating operation mode, after the punching is completed, the main controller will automatically return the hydraulic rod 302 to reset, and the punching plate 304 will rise and detach from the workpiece.

[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an automated fixing component 4 is installed on the outer surface of the punching assembly 3.

[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, the automated fixing component 4 includes two fixing plates 401 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting block 303. A telescopic rod 404 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixing plate 401. A clamping plate 402 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 404. A plurality of fixing grooves 406 are opened on the upper surface of the waste recycling table 201. A track plate 104 is snapped into the inside of the fixing groove 406. The track plate 104 can be snapped into and positioned through the fixing groove 406 to achieve quick clamping and alignment. A silicone pad 403 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the clamping plate 402. The silicone pad 403 can provide uniform clamping force without damaging the surface of the track plate 104. The thickness of the silicone pad 403 is between 1cm and 3cm. A spring 405 is sleeved and connected to the outer surface of the telescopic rod 404. One end of the spring 405 is connected to the lower surface of the fixing plate 401, and the other end is connected to the upper surface of the clamping plate 402.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, when the hydraulic rod 302 drives the grooving cutter 305 to groove, the mounting block 303 synchronously transmits movement through the fixing plate 401 and the telescopic rod 404, so that the clamping plates 402 on both sides gradually contact the side or surface of the track plate 104. Under the elasticity compensation of the spring 405 and the anti-slip buffering effect of the silicone pad 403, the workpiece is fixed, effectively preventing surface damage or local deformation caused by rigid pressing.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the device is first connected to an external power supply via cables and sockets to ensure a stable power supply for the electrical equipment in the waste recycling component 2, the punching component 3, and the automated fixing component 4, ensuring their normal operation. After power is supplied, the main controller is started to put the device into standby mode. Then, the track plate 104 to be processed is inserted into the fixing groove 406 on the waste recycling platform 201 to complete the initial positioning. After the staff confirms that the position is correct, the power supply and controller of the hydraulic rod 302 are started through the main controller, so that the hydraulic rod 302 drives the punching plate 304 under the mounting block 303 to move downward. During this movement, the mounting block 303 transmits the movement synchronously through the fixing plate 401 and the telescopic rod 404, so that the clamping plates 402 on both sides gradually contact the sides or surface of the track plate 104. Under the elasticity compensation of the spring 405 and the anti-slip buffering effect of the silicone pad 403, the workpiece is flexibly and reliably clamped, effectively preventing surface damage or local deformation caused by rigid pressing.

[0031] Simultaneously, the hydraulic rod 302 continues to descend, driving the mounting block 303 and the slotting plate 304 to press down vertically. The slotting cutter 305 penetrates the track plate 104 to form the required groove shape. At the same time, the clamping plate 402 will strengthen the clamping of the track plate 104 under the action of the telescopic rod 404 and the spring 405. Meanwhile, the operator can simultaneously place the next track plate 104 to be processed on the same station on the other side of the workbench 1. By using the dual-station alternating operation mode, while stamping is being carried out at one station, the other station completes the loading and unloading preparation, which significantly improves the equipment utilization rate and production continuity, and realizes efficient and rhythmic production.

[0032] After the grooving is completed, the main controller will automatically return and reset the hydraulic rod 302, and the grooving plate 304 will rise and detach from the workpiece. At the same time, the clamping plate 402 will move upward with the mounting block 303 through the linkage structure, releasing the clamping state of the processed track plate 104. The operator can then take out the processed track plate 104 and put it into the storage box 307 for storage. The storage box 307 can be easily pulled out from the storage chamber 306 by the pull rod for replacement, which is convenient for centralized transfer. Subsequently, the remaining debris and waste on the top will be wiped off with a cloth or cleaning brush and put into the recycling box 203 through the recycling hole 204 for storage. The recycling box 203 can be pulled out and emptied when full to keep the site clean.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
