Detailed Description
The foregoing and other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following, more particular, description of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments described are merely some, but not all embodiments of the invention.
The invention provides a self-aligning stamping device. Traditional stamping device relies on manual positioning, and manual material and blowing are got out, and consequently the positioning effect is very inaccurate, influences the punching press quality on panel surface to rely on manual positioning, operating personnel need stretch into the stamping device with the hand and operate, probably lead to the potential safety hazard because misoperation. According to the invention, the coordinates of the center of the cross mark are calculated by sensing the coordinates of the two ends of the cross mark and the length of the cross mark, which are sunken in the surface of the plate, and the control system controls the pressing head to align with the cross mark for stamping. The structure of the self-aligning punching device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention is a self-aligning stamping device for stamping a sheet 5 on a table 1, the stamping device comprising a ram 3 mounted on a headstock 2. The system further comprises a distance sensor 8, a distance calculator 4, a processing module 6 and a control module 7. The distance sensor 8 can continuously sense the vertical height between the distance sensor 8 and the plate 5, when the vertical distance between the distance sensor 8 and the plate 5 is changed, the distance sensor 8 sends out an electric signal, the distance calculator 4 starts to work after receiving the electric signal sent out by the distance sensor 8, namely, starts to measure the horizontal distance of the vertical distance change sensed by the distance sensor 8, and the processing module 7 calculates the distance from the end part of the cross mark to the center of the cross mark according to the measured distance of the cross mark, and then calculates the center coordinate of the cross mark according to the obtained coordinates of the two end parts of the cross mark; and then the control module 7 controls the pressing head 3 to align with the center of the cross mark for punching according to the center coordinate of the cross mark obtained by the processing module 6.
The distance reactor 8 sends out two electric signals when passing through the cross mark, namely, the vertical distance is changed from the plate 5 to the concave position of the cross mark, the distance sensor 8 sends out a first electric signal, and the distance calculator 4 starts to work; when the distance reactor 8 returns from the recess of the cross mark to the surface of the plate 5, the vertical distance again changes, the distance sensor 8 emits a second electrical signal, and the distance calculator 4 stops working.
The distance calculator calculates the horizontal distance between the two ends of the cross mark according to the traveling speed of the pressure head (preset in working) and the interval time between the two electric signals. The processing module 6 then collects the horizontal distance, i.e. the length of the cross mark, and divides the length by 2 to obtain the center-to-end distance of the cross mark, and the processing module 6 also records the coordinates of each time the distance sensor 8 sends out an electrical signal, i.e. the coordinate positions of the two ends of the cross mark, and then calculates the coordinates of the center of the cross mark in combination with the center-to-end distance of the cross mark. The control module 7 then controls the ram 3 to return to the center of the cross mark to align with the center of the cross mark for punching.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the distance sensor 8 is an infrared distance sensor, which comprises a transmitting end, a receiving end and a data processing end that are connected with each other, wherein the transmitting end emits infrared rays, the receiving end receives the reflected infrared rays, and the data processing end obtains the distance between the distance sensor 8 and the surface of the plate 5 according to the time difference between the infrared rays emitted by the transmitting end and the infrared rays received by the receiving end.
A relay is connected between the distance sensor 8 and the distance calculator 4, when the infrared rays emitted by the emitting end move to the concave position of the cross mark from the surface of the plate 5, the distance sensor 8 generates a current increment, the relay is closed, the distance calculator 4 starts to act, and the processing module 6 records the coordinate position at the moment; when the infrared ray moves from the depression of the cross mark to the surface of the sheet 5, the distance sensor 8 generates a current decrement, the relay is opened, the distance calculator 4 stops working, and the processing module 6 records the coordinate position at this time again.
And the distance sensor 8 is also connected with a position switch, when the pressure head 3 punches the plate 5 downwards from the high position, the position switch is opened, the distance sensor 8 stops emitting infrared rays, and when the pressure head 3 returns to the original height after punching, the position switch is closed, and the distance sensor 8 restarts working.
The invention obtains the coordinate positions of two endpoints of the cross mark through the distance difference between the concave cross mark on the plate and the surface of the plate, calculates the distance between the center and the end of the cross mark, thereby calculating the center coordinate of the middle cross mark, and then the control module performs stamping processing on the center coordinate of the cross mark pointed by the pressure head. The invention has high automation degree, high production efficiency, accurate positioning and high safety performance.
