Detailed Description

To facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "secured to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may also be present. The terms "inner", "outer", "left", "right" and the like as used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, a clamp 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used for clamping a blank 20. The blank 20 may include a middle portion 23 and two edge portions 24, the middle portion 23 is connected between the two edge portions 24, and the two edge portions 24 are symmetrically disposed with respect to the middle portion 23. When the entire blank 20 is finished, the intermediate portion 23 is cut off from the edge portions 24, i.e. the intermediate portion 23 will form a discarded scrap 23a, while the two edge portions 24 form respective finished products 24a. In order to facilitate clamping the blank 20, the two edge portions 24 each have a boss 25, the bosses 25 protrude a certain length from the side circumferential surfaces of the edge portions, for example, one edge portion is provided with six bosses 25, the side circumferential surfaces have two first unit surfaces and one second unit surface, the two first unit surfaces are oppositely disposed and extend along the length direction of the blank 20, the second unit surface is disposed away from the middle portion 23 and extends along the width direction of the blank 20, two bosses 25 are spaced on each first unit surface, and two bosses 25 are also spaced on the second unit surface.

The fixture 10 includes a carrier 100, a base plate 210, a connection post 220, a seal 230, a positioning post 240, a guide post 250, a first intermediate drive 300, a second intermediate drive 400, an edge drive 500, and a scrap drive 600.

In some embodiments, the carrier 100 may be substantially a plate-shaped structure, the bottom plate 210 and the carrier 100 are spaced apart in a vertical direction (gravity direction), and the connecting column 220 is connected between the carrier 100 and the bottom plate 210, that is, the lower end of the connecting column 220 is fixed on the bottom plate 210, and the upper end of the connecting column 220 is fixed on the carrier 100. At least two blank members 20 are carried on the carrier 100, the two adjacent blank members 20 are denoted as a first blank member 21 and a second blank member 22, the first blank member 21 and the second blank member 22 are arranged on the carrier 100 at intervals along the width direction thereof, and a gap between the two adjacent first blank members 21 and second blank members 22 is denoted as a gap 26. The carrier 100 has an upper surface and a lower surface which are spaced apart in a thickness direction of the carrier 100, and the blank 20 is carried on a side where the upper surface is located.

The carrier 100 is provided with an absorption hole 110, a vacuum generator can make the absorption hole 110 form a vacuum, and when the blank 20 is prevented from covering the absorption hole 110 on the carrier 100, the blank 20 is absorbed on the carrier 100 under the action of the air pressure difference. Since the thickness of the product 24a formed on the blank 20 is about 0.273mm, the suction holes 110 capable of generating vacuum are provided, so that the stability and reliability of the whole fixture 10 for clamping the blank 20 can be improved, the blank 20 is prevented from vibrating during processing, the formation of the cutter vibration lines on the formed product 24a is prevented, and the forming quality of the product 24a is improved. The diameter of the suction hole 110 is 2mm or less, considering that the minimum diameter of the machining tool is 2mm, and the thickness of the product 24a is about 0.273mm, i.e. the product 24a has a small thickness and a small bending strength. If the diameter of the suction hole 110 is greater than 2mm, that is, the diameter of the suction hole 110 is greater than the diameter of the tool, when the tool moves to a position corresponding to the suction hole 110 during the machining process using the tool with the diameter of 2mm, the blank 20 will form a "step-on-empty phenomenon" under the pressure of the tool to bend, so that a gravure is formed on the machined product 24a. In the embodiment, the aperture of the absorption hole 110 is smaller than or equal to 2mm, which can ensure that the aperture of the absorption hole 110 is smaller than or equal to the diameter of the cutter, thereby effectively preventing the absorption hole 110 from weakening the bending strength of the blank 20, further avoiding the blank 20 from generating a "blank phenomenon", preventing the processed and formed product 24a from forming a gravure, and finally improving the forming quality of the product 24a.

The sealing groove 120 is concavely formed on the carrier 100, the sealing groove 120 may be a closed ring structure and is disposed around the suction hole 110, the sealing element 230 is matched with the sealing groove 120, when the blank 20 is carried on the carrier 100, the blank 20 contacts with the sealing element 230, so as to improve the air tightness of the suction hole 110 and the vacuum degree during vacuum pumping, and improve the stable reliability of the clamping of the fixture 10 to the blank 20. The sealing groove 120 includes a first sealing segment 121, a second sealing segment 122 and a third sealing segment 123, and the first sealing segment 121, the second sealing segment 122 and the third sealing segment 123 are sequentially arranged along the recess direction, that is, the second sealing segment 122 is located between the first sealing segment 121 and the third sealing segment 123. In a popular way, the first sealing section 121 is an upper section, the second sealing section 122 is a middle section, the first sealing section 121 is a lower section, and the width of the first sealing section 121 is greater than the widths of the first sealing section 121 and the third sealing section 123. Since the part of the chips formed by processing the blank 20 will fall onto the carrier 100, when the blank 20 is unloaded, an air flow needs to be formed through the nozzle to blow off the chips on the carrier 100. If the first seal segment 121, the second seal segment 122, and the third seal segment 123 are equal in width, i.e., the cross-section of the seal slot 120 is rectangular, and the air stream blows away debris, there is a risk that the seal 230 will blow out of the seal slot 120 due to the air stream. The width of the first seal segment 121 in this embodiment is greater than the widths of the first seal segment 121 and the third seal segment 123, so that the fitting force between the seal 230 and the entire seal groove 120 can be effectively improved, and the seal 230 can be prevented from being blown out of the seal groove 120 under the action of the air flow in the process of blowing off the debris by the air flow.

In some embodiments, the lower end of the positioning pillar 240 is a fixed end and is fixed on the supporting member 100, and the upper end of the positioning pillar 240 is a free end. When the blank 20 is placed on the supporting member 100, the free end of the positioning pillar 240 can penetrate through the blank 20, so as to improve the positioning accuracy of the blank 20 and to some extent improve the stability and reliability of the clamping of the fixture 10 on the blank 20. The lower extreme of guide post 250 is the stiff end and fixes on bearing the piece 100, and the upper end of guide post 250 is the free end, and when stock spare 20 was placed on bearing the piece 100, guide post 250 contacted with the edge that bears the piece 100, under the effect of guide post 250, can improve stock spare 20's clamping efficiency and precision.

In some embodiments, first intermediate drive 300 includes first intermediate clamp block 310, rotary cylinder 320, vertical shaft 330, horizontal shaft 340, longitudinal shaft 350, and fixture 360.

The cylinder barrel of the rotary cylinder 320 may be fixed to the lower surface of the bearing component 100, the rotary shaft 321 of the rotary cylinder 320 may be inserted into the bearing component 100, a central axis of the rotary shaft 321 extends in the vertical direction, and the rotary cylinder 320 may drive the rotary shaft 321 to rotate around its central axis. The central axis of the transverse shaft 340 is perpendicular to the vertical direction and extends along the width direction of the blank 20, and the transverse shaft 340 simultaneously penetrates through the vertical shaft 330 and the rotating shaft 321, so that the vertical shaft 330 can swing around the central axis of the transverse shaft 340 at a certain angle relative to the rotating shaft 321, that is, rotate less than 360 degrees; in a colloquial manner, the vertical shaft 330 can swing in a forward and backward direction with respect to the rotation shaft 321, and the forward and backward direction can be understood as a longitudinal direction of the blank member 20. The vertical shaft 330 is disposed coaxially with the rotation shaft 321 and is inserted into the carrier 100, i.e., the central axis of the vertical shaft 330 also extends in the vertical direction. Therefore, the vertical shaft 330 can rotate around the central axis extending in the vertical direction along with the rotation shaft 321, and at the same time, the vertical shaft 330 can swing at a certain angle in the front-rear direction with respect to the rotation shaft 321. The space-avoiding space 370 is formed between the vertical shaft 330 and the rotating shaft 321 at intervals along the central axis of the rotating shaft 321, in other words, the space-avoiding space 370 is formed between the vertical shaft 330 and the rotating shaft 321 at intervals in the vertical direction, and by setting the space-avoiding space 370, when the vertical shaft 330 swings relative to the rotating shaft 321, the rotating shaft 321 can be prevented from interfering with the swinging of the vertical shaft 330, and the vertical shaft 330 can be ensured to swing smoothly relative to the rotating shaft 321. The width of the space 370 can be adjusted so that the maximum angle at which the vertical shaft 330 swings in the front-rear direction with respect to the rotation shaft 321 can be adjusted. For example, the width of the avoiding distance 370 may be 0.1mm to 0.3mm, and for example, the specific value of the width of the avoiding distance 370 may be 0.2mm, or may also be 0.1mm or 0.3 mm.

The central axis of the longitudinal axis 350 is perpendicular to the vertical direction and extends along the length direction of the blank 20, and the longitudinal axis 350 is simultaneously inserted through the vertical axis 330 and the first middle clamping block 310, so that the first middle clamping block 310 can swing around the central axis of the longitudinal axis 350 relative to the vertical axis 330 by a certain angle, that is, rotate by less than 360 degrees; in a colloquial manner, the first middle clamping block 310 may swing in a left-right direction with respect to the vertical shaft 330, which may be understood as a width direction of the blank member 20. When the rotating shaft 321 drives the vertical shaft 330 to rotate around the central axis extending in the vertical direction, the vertical shaft 330 can drive the first middle clamping block 310 to rotate along the central axis extending in the vertical direction; when the vertical shaft 330 swings back and forth relative to the rotating shaft 321, the vertical shaft 330 can drive the first middle clamping block 310 to swing back and forth. Therefore, the first middle clamping block 310 has three degrees of freedom of movement, i.e., can swing in the front-back direction, can swing in the left-right direction, and can rotate around a central axis extending in the vertical direction.

The clearance gaps 380 are formed between the vertical shaft 330 and the first middle clamping block 310 at intervals along the central axis of the vertical shaft 330, in other words, the clearance gaps 380 are formed between the vertical shaft 330 and the first middle clamping block 310 at intervals along the vertical direction, and by arranging the clearance gaps 380, when the first middle clamping block 310 swings relative to the vertical shaft 330, the vertical shaft 330 can be prevented from interfering with the swinging of the first middle clamping block 310, and the first middle clamping block 310 can be ensured to swing smoothly relative to the vertical shaft 330. The width of the clearance gap 380 may be adjusted so that the maximum angle of the first middle clamping block 310 swinging in the left and right directions with respect to the vertical shaft 330 may be adjusted. For example, the width of the clearance gap 380 may be 0.1mm to 0.3mm, and for example, the specific value of the width of the clearance gap 380 may be 0.2mm, or may also be 0.1mm or 0.3 mm.

The vertical shaft 330 comprises an insertion part 331, the insertion part 331 is inserted in the middle of the first middle clamping block 310, the longitudinal shaft 350 is inserted in the insertion part 331, the first middle clamping block 310 is provided with a fixing hole 311 and two accommodating holes 312, the number of the accommodating holes 312 is two, the two accommodating holes 312 are coaxially arranged, the central axes of the two accommodating holes 312 and the central axis of the longitudinal shaft 350 can be mutually overlapped, one end of each accommodating hole 312 is communicated with the fixing hole 311, the other end of each accommodating hole 312 is communicated with the outside, and each accommodating hole 312 is used for installing the longitudinal shaft 350, namely, the longitudinal shaft 350 can be inserted in the insertion part 331 through the accommodating hole 312. Meanwhile, the two ends of the longitudinal shaft 350 are accommodated in the accommodating holes 312, which means that the longitudinal shaft 350 penetrates through the first middle clamping block 310, the number of the fixing holes 311 is also two, the accommodating holes 312 and the fixing holes 311 form a one-to-one correspondence relationship, the central axis of the fixing hole 311 extends in the vertical direction, the lower end of the fixing hole 311 is communicated with the accommodating holes 312, and the upper end of the fixing hole 311 is communicated with the outside. The fixing member 360 may be a bolt, etc., the fixing member 360 is disposed in the fixing hole 311, the fixing member 360 may be in a threaded connection with the first middle clamping block 310, and a lower end of the fixing member 360 is received in the receiving hole 312 and abuts against an end of the longitudinal shaft 350. Therefore, both ends of the longitudinal shaft 350 can be pressed against the fixing members 360, and it can be understood that the longitudinal shaft 350 is sandwiched between the two fixing members 360, and the longitudinal shaft 350 is prevented from sliding along the extending direction of the central axis thereof. When the first intermediate block 310 is damaged, the fixing member 360 may be removed from the fixing hole 311 to remove interference with the longitudinal shaft 350, so that the longitudinal shaft 350 is removed from the receiving hole 312 to release the first intermediate block 310 from the vertical shaft 330, so that the damaged first intermediate block 310 may be detached from the vertical shaft 330 for subsequent mounting of a new first intermediate block 310 on the vertical shaft 330.

The first intermediate block 310 includes a main body portion 313 and an abutting portion 314, the main body portion 313 is connected to the vertical shaft 330, two abutting portions 314 are provided at one end of the abutting portion 314, and the two abutting portions 314 are provided at intervals in the width direction of the main body portion 313. The two abutting portions 314 abut against two different bosses 25 of the first blank 21, that is, the abutting portions 314 apply a pressing force to the bosses 25 from top to bottom, so that the bosses 25 are pressed on the supporting member 100, and the first blank 21 is clamped. Similarly, two contact portions 314 are provided at the other end of the contact portion 314, and the two contact portions 314 are also provided at intervals in the width direction of the body portion 313. The two abutting portions 314 abut against two different bosses 25 on the second blank 22, that is, the abutting portions 314 apply a pressing force to the bosses 25 from top to bottom, so as to press the bosses 25 against the supporting member 100, thereby clamping the second blank 22. In short, the number of the abutting portions 314 is four, and two abutting portions 314 located at the same end of the main body portion 313 respectively press against two bosses 25 on the same blank 20.

The boss 25 has an abutment surface in contact with the abutment 314, and the distance of the abutment surface from the upper surface of the carrier 100 can be understood as the height of the boss 25. The two bosses 25 on the first blank 21 are identified as a first boss 25a and a second boss 25b. The two bosses 25 on the second blank 22 are denoted as a third boss 25c and a fourth boss 25d, and the four abutting portions 314 on the first intermediate clamping block 310 abut against the first boss 25a, the second boss 25b, the third boss 25c and the fourth boss 25d, respectively. The first bosses 25a and the second bosses 25b are provided at intervals in the length direction (front-rear direction) of the blank 20, the third bosses 25c and the fourth bosses 25d are provided at intervals in the length direction (front-rear direction) of the blank 20, the first bosses 25a and the third bosses 25c are provided at intervals in the width direction (left-right direction) of the blank 20, and the second bosses 25b and the fourth bosses 25d are provided at intervals in the width direction (left-right direction) of the blank 20. In other words, the first boss 25a, the second boss 25b, the third boss 25c, and the fourth boss 25d are located at four right angles of one rectangle, respectively.

When the heights of the above-described four bosses 25 are equal, it is possible to make the four bosses 25 make good contact with the respective abutments 314 of the first intermediate block 310. When the heights of the four bosses 25 are not equal due to a machining error, for example, the heights of the first boss 25a and the second boss 25b are equal, the heights of the third boss 25c and the fourth boss 25d are equal, and the heights of the first boss 25a and the third boss 25c are not equal, at this time, the first middle clamping block 310 can swing by a certain angle around the longitudinal axis 350 in the left-right direction relative to the vertical axis 330, and it is ensured that the four abutting portions 314 and the four bosses 25 can all form good contact, so that the two blank members 20 are simultaneously pressed on the bearing member 100 to achieve stable and reliable clamping. For another example, when the heights of the first boss 25a and the third boss 25c are equal, the heights of the second boss 25b and the fourth boss 25d are equal, and the heights of the first boss 25a and the second boss 25b are not equal, at this time, the vertical shaft 330 can swing around the transverse shaft 340 by a certain angle in the front-rear direction relative to the rotating shaft 321, so that the four abutting portions 314 and the four bosses 25 can all form good contact, and thus the two blank members 20 can be stably and reliably clamped. Therefore, in view of the front-back and left-right swinging of the first middle clamping block 310, even if the heights of the bosses 25 of the two blank members 20 are not equal due to the processing error, the abutting portion 314 of the first middle clamping block 310 can be ensured to simultaneously press the two blank members 20, so as to clamp the two blank members 20.

When the pressing relationship between the first middle clamping block 310 and the blank 20 needs to be released, the rotary cylinder 320 drives the vertical shaft 330 to rotate by a certain angle through the rotary shaft 321, and then the abutting portion 314 of the first middle clamping block 310 is separated from the two blanks 20 at the same time, so that the product 24a formed by the blanks 20 is unloaded from the carrier 100, and the blank 20 to be processed is placed on the carrier 100. When the rotary cylinder 320 drives the vertical shaft 330 to rotate by a certain angle through the rotating shaft 321, the abutting portion 314 of the first middle clamping block 310 can simultaneously abut against two blank pieces 20, so as to clamp the blank pieces 20.

In some embodiments, the second intermediate driver 400 includes a rotation cylinder 410 and a second intermediate clamp block 420, and the rotation cylinder 410 can drive the second intermediate clamp block 420 to rotate around a central axis extending in a vertical direction. The cylinder of the rotary cylinder 410 is fixed to the lower surface of the carrier 100, and the second middle clamp block 420 is located on the side of the upper surface of the carrier 100. The number of the second intermediate drivers 400 may be plural, so that the number of the second intermediate clamping blocks 420 is also plural, and the plural second intermediate clamping blocks 420 are separated from opposite sides of the first intermediate block; for example, the number of the second middle clamping blocks 420 is four, two of the second middle clamping blocks 420 are located at the front side of the first middle clamping block 310, and the other two second middle clamping blocks 420 are located at the rear side of the first middle clamping block 310. One of the second middle clamping blocks 420 on the front side presses against the boss 25 on the first blank 21, and the other second middle clamping block 420 on the front side presses against the boss 25 on the second blank 22. One of the second middle clamping blocks 420 at the rear side abuts against the boss 25 on the first blank 21, and the other second middle clamping block 420 at the rear side abuts against the boss 25 on the second blank 22. Therefore, the second intermediate clamping block 420 can only press against the boss 25 on one of the blank members 20, and the stability and reliability of clamping the blank member 20 can be further improved by arranging the second intermediate driver 400.

In some embodiments, the edge driver 500 further includes an edge cylinder 510, an edge clamp block 520, and a rotation member 530. The edge cylinder 510 is fixed to the carrier 100, one end of the edge clamp block 520 is connected to a piston rod of the edge cylinder 510, one end (lower end) of the rotating member 530 is rotatably connected to a cylinder tube of the edge cylinder 510, and the other end (upper end) of the rotating member 530 is rotatably connected to a middle portion of the edge clamp block 520. The edge clamp block 520 may be equivalent to a lever and the rotating member 530 may serve as a fulcrum for the edge clamp block 520. When the piston rod of the edge cylinder 510 extends and retracts back and forth in the vertical direction, the other end of the edge clamping block 520 can be driven to move close to or away from the boss 25. When the edge clamping block 520 moves close to the boss 25 until the edge clamping block abuts against the boss 25, the blank part 20 can be clamped; the loading and unloading of the blank 20 onto the carrier 100 is also accomplished after the edge clamp blocks 520 have moved a distance away from the bosses 25.

The edge clamp block 520 is positioned outside the gap 26 between the first blank 21 and the second blank 22 so that the edge clamp block 520 can only press against the boss 25 on one of the blanks 20. The number of the edge drivers 500 is plural, so the number of the edge clamping blocks 520 is also plural, wherein a part of the edge clamping blocks 520 is used for pressing against the bosses 25 on the first blank member 21, and another part of the edge clamping blocks 520 is used for pressing against the bosses 25 on the second blank member 22. One end of the edge clamping block 520 away from the piston rod of the edge cylinder 510 may have a pressing portion 521, where the pressing portion 521 is used to press against the boss 25; the end of the edge clamping block 520 away from the piston rod of the edge cylinder 510 may have two pressing portions 521, and the two pressing portions 521 are used for pressing against two different bosses 25 on the same blank 20. When the edge clamping block 520 has two pressing portions 521, one edge driver 500 can be pressed against two bosses 25, and one edge driver 500 can be prevented from being pressed against only one boss 25, so that the arrangement of the edge driver 500 is reduced, and the structure of the clamp 10 is finally simplified.

In some embodiments, the waste driver 600 includes a rotary telescopic cylinder 610, a first rod 621, and a second rod 622, one end of the first rod 621 is connected to a rotary telescopic shaft 611 of the rotary telescopic cylinder 610, and the rotary telescopic shaft 611 can perform telescopic movement in a vertical direction and rotate around a central axis extending in the vertical direction. The other end of the first rod 621 is connected to the middle of the second rod 622, and the two ends of the second rod 622 respectively press against the middle portion 23 of the same blank 20. The cylinder of the waste actuator 600 is fixed to the lower surface of the carrier 100, and the first rod 621 is simultaneously inserted into the carrier 100 and the intermediate portion 23. When the waste material driver 600 drives the second rod body 622 to rotate by a certain angle through the first rod body 621, the second rod body 622 can be located above the middle portion 23, and when the waste material driver 600 drives the second rod body 622 to move downwards through the first rod body 621 and enables the second rod body 622 to abut against the middle portion 23, the middle portion 23 can be clamped. When the waste driver 600 drives the second rod 622 to move upward through the first rod 621, and the second rod 622 is away from the middle portion 23, and the second rod 622 rotates a certain angle, the interference of the second rod 622 can be eliminated, so that the middle portion 23 is unloaded from the supporting member 100, and the blank 20 to be processed can also be placed on the supporting member 100. The stability and reliability of the clamping of the blank 20 can also be improved by clamping the intermediate portion 23 by the scrap driver 600.

If the fixture 10 can only clamp one blank 20 at a time, after one blank 20 is machined, and another blank 20 is clamped on the fixture 10 to wait for the tool to be machined, the tool moves in the opposite direction and returns to the initial position, so that the feed direction of the tool can only machine one blank 20, which results in the change of the frequency in the feed direction of the tool and is not beneficial to the improvement of the machining and forming efficiency of the product 24a. In the fixture 10 of the above embodiment, in view of at least two blank members 20 on the supporting member 100, after the first blank member 21 is processed, the reverse movement of the tool to the initial position can be avoided, so that the tool continues to move to the second blank member 22 along the same direction, so as to process the second blank member 22, that is, the feeding in the same direction can process at least two blank members 20, thereby reducing the frequency of the change in the feeding direction of the tool, and finally improving the efficiency of processing and forming the product 24a. Meanwhile, the first middle clamping block 310 can clamp the two blank members 20 at the same time, and the arrangement of redundant parts can be omitted, so that the structure of the clamp 10 is simplified.

All possible combinations of the technical features of the above embodiments may not be described for the sake of brevity, but should be considered as within the scope of the present disclosure as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
