Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of terminal block processing technology, specifically to a terminal block drilling mold. Background Technology
[0002] Terminal block punching dies are special stamping dies used to process terminal blocks. Their core function is to accurately punch out the required holes such as mounting holes and wiring holes on the terminal substrate. They are usually used in conjunction with stamping equipment to quickly form the holes, ensuring that the hole dimensions are accurate and consistent, and meeting the needs of subsequent assembly and circuit connection of the terminal blocks.
[0003] Utility model patent CN215143880U discloses a terminal block drilling mold, including a drilling body. A sliding groove is formed at the upper middle and front middle of the drilling body. A mold structure is detachably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A support frame is fixedly connected to the upper rear of the drilling body. A support plate is fixedly connected to the upper middle of the support frame. A telescopic device is fixedly connected to the upper front of the support plate. The output end of the telescopic device passes through the support plate and is fixedly connected to the drilling structure, which is located above the mold structure. This utility model's terminal block drilling mold, by setting the mold structure and the drilling structure, increases the applicable range of terminal block drilling at different heights, while also increasing the range of hole diameters, increasing the stability of the terminal block during drilling, preventing displacement due to gravity impact during drilling, increasing the penetration of the terminal block, and improving the accuracy of terminal block drilling.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following drawbacks: Existing punching dies typically have a through-hole inside the die. After the waste material falls from the hole in the die sleeve, it falls naturally by gravity, passing through a simple ramp or pipe, and finally falls into the waste bin below. This process is very passive and prone to jamming. Once blocked, the machine must be stopped for cleaning, which severely reduces production efficiency and may even damage the die. If the waste material is not discharged smoothly, it will be carried to the surface of the die cavity, causing indentations on the terminal surface during the next stamping, resulting in defective products. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0013] Furthermore, by introducing airflow to assist in waste discharge, the problem of waste not falling smoothly due to gravity can be solved.
[0014] In the above implementation process, the inner wall of the neck tube is provided with a nozzle that communicates with the trachea, wherein the nozzle is located on the inner wall at the upper end of the neck tube.
[0015] Furthermore, by introducing high-speed airflow into the neck tube, the airflow is ensured to efficiently push the waste material down, while negative pressure is generated in the feed inlet to suck in the waste material, thereby improving the waste collection effect.

[0026] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:
[0027] I. This utility model fundamentally changes the traditional passive material dropping mode that relies on gravity by integrating an active waste removal system based on the Venturi principle inside the mold. The system uses the compressed air generated by the stamping action itself as a power source to form a strong negative pressure at the neck of the Venturi structure, which actively adsorbs and accelerates the falling waste. Combined with the downward-sloping airflow, it ensures that the waste is quickly and thoroughly discharged from the mold.
[0028] Second, this utility model achieves self-sufficiency in energy supply through the waste removal system, eliminating the need for an external gas source. This not only reduces energy consumption and operating costs but also simplifies the external configuration of the mold and improves the integration and operational reliability of the equipment.

[0036] 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.
[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0038] See attached document Figures 1-5This utility model provides a terminal block punching mold, including a mold shell 1. Mounting plates 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the mold shell 1. Bolt holes are provided on the mounting plates 11 for the entire mold to be stably installed on the working platform of the stamping machine. A mold groove 12 is provided in the center area of the top of the mold shell 1. The shape and size of the mold groove 12 are specially customized for the terminal block workpiece to be punched, for precise positioning and fixing of the workpiece. A through pipe 13 is provided in the inner bottom of the mold groove 12. During punching, the punch will pass through this hole, and the generated round waste material will fall through it.
[0039] To automate waste material handling, a discharge pipe 2 is integrated inside the mold shell 1, directly below the mold groove 12. This discharge pipe 2 includes an inlet 21, which fits tightly against the bottom of the mold groove 12 and is aligned with a through pipe 13. The surface of the inlet 21 has an air vent connecting to the atmosphere. The through pipe 13 extends downwards, exceeding the air vent, to ensure waste material falls in without deviation. A neck pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inlet 21, its structure designed to... The feed inlet 21 gradually narrows downward to form a neck, and the bottom of the neck tube 22 is fixedly connected to a diffuser tube 23 that gradually expands outward. This combination of the feed inlet 21, the neck tube 22 and the diffuser tube 23 forms a Venturi tube structure. The discharge pipe 2, the through pipe 13 above and the discharge port 14 opened at the bottom of the mold shell 1 are strictly on the same vertical line. This creates an ideal unobstructed channel for the free fall of waste material, fundamentally avoiding the risk of waste material being stuck or blocked due to collision in the transmission path.
[0040] To enhance discharge capacity, an active airflow assist is provided. Downward-sloping air pipes 25 are fixedly connected to both sides of the neck pipe 22. These two air pipes 25 merge into a main pipe at the bottom. On the inner wall of the upper end of the neck pipe 22, there is a nozzle 24 communicating with the air pipes 25. When the high-speed airflow is injected into the narrow throat of the neck pipe 22 from the nozzle 24, a high-speed low-pressure zone is formed inside. This generates a strong suction force, actively sucking in the waste through the feed inlet 21. On the other hand, the airflow itself acts as an invisible pusher, efficiently propelling the waste through the neck pipe 22 and into the diffuser 23, and finally discharging it from the discharge port 14. This completely solves the problem that the waste may not fall smoothly if it relies solely on its own gravity.
[0041] The air source of this system is provided by a pneumatic mechanism linked to the stamping equipment. A connecting frame 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the mold shell 1. A cylinder 3 is fixedly installed below the connecting frame 31. The upper inner wall of the cylinder 3 has a first air inlet 34. This inlet is connected to the main pipeline after the air pipe 25 is merged through a pipe, becoming a stable outlet for airflow. A sliding hole 32 is opened at the top of the cylinder 3. A connecting rod 37 is slidably connected in the sliding hole 32. A connecting plate 38 is fixed at the top of the connecting rod 37 for connecting to the existing lifting device of the stamping equipment. The lifting device is not shown in the figure. A piston 39 that slides in the cylinder 3 is fixedly connected at its bottom. The up-and-down reciprocating motion of the stamping equipment is directly converted into the reciprocating motion of the piston 39 in the cylinder 3.
[0042] To ensure a stable airflow supply to the air pipe 25, a first one-way valve 33 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the cylinder 3, allowing external air to enter the cylinder 3 while preventing internal gas from escaping. A second air inlet is also provided at the bottom of the cylinder 3, which is fixedly connected to the air pipe 25 via a channel pipe 35. Second one-way valves 36 are installed on both the channel pipe 35 and the first air inlet 34. These one-way valves work together to precisely control the airflow direction. Regardless of whether the piston 39 moves upward or downward, it can always force the gas into the pipe leading to the air pipe 25, thereby preventing airflow backflow and ensuring the continuity and stability of the jet effect at the nozzle 24.
[0043] The continuous air supply function is achieved by an airflow switching mechanism inside the piston 39. The piston 39 has a vertical channel 41 inside, with a transverse channel communicating with it at its top. A spring slider 42 is slidably connected within the transverse channel, and the lower surface of the spring slider 42 is designed as an inclined plane. A baffle 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the spring slider 42. Inside the piston 39, on one side of the vertical channel 41, there is also an independent air passage 44. The baffle 43 moves above the opening of this air passage 44, opening or closing it. A vertical... The top surface of the straight rod 40 is also designed as an inclined surface, which is symmetrically matched with the inclined surface of the spring slider 42. When the piston 39 moves downward to a certain position, the inclined surface of the vertical rod 40 will push the spring slider 42, compress its spring, and drive the baffle 43 to move, thereby changing the passage state between the vertical channel 41 and the air passage 44. When the piston 39 moves upward and disengages, the spring will reset the spring slider 42 and the baffle 43. This realizes the automatic switching of the airflow path according to the direction of piston 39 movement, ensuring that airflow can be supplied to the discharge system whether in the stamping stroke or the return stroke, without the need for manual intervention to control the direction throughout the process.
[0044] Working principle: When the stamping equipment drives the connecting plate 38 to move the connecting rod 37 and piston 39 downward in the cylinder 3, the vertical rod 40 at the bottom of the piston 39 pushes up the spring slider 42, causing the baffle 43 to close the air passage 44. At the same time, the piston 39 compresses the air in the lower chamber of the cylinder 3, forcing the airflow through the channel pipe 35 and the second one-way valve 36 on it into the air pipe 25. When the stamping equipment returns and drives the piston 39 upward, the spring slider 42 resets, the baffle 43 opens the air passage 44 and closes the vertical channel 41 and the first air inlet 34. Simultaneously, the piston 39 compresses the air in the upper chamber of the cylinder 3, forcing the airflow through the first air inlet 34 and the second one-way valve 36 above it into the air pipe 25. Thus, regardless of the stamping stroke or the return stroke, the continuously generated airflow is delivered from the air pipe 25 to the nozzle 24 on the inner wall of the neck pipe 22 and ejected at high speed. A negative pressure is formed at the feed inlet 21 with the Venturi effect, which actively sucks in the waste material falling through the through pipe 13 and accelerates it through the neck pipe 22 and the diffuser pipe 23, and finally smoothly discharges it from the discharge port 14, realizing the continuous automatic removal of waste material.
[0045] 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 protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
