Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of valve stem processing, and in particular to a tapping device for the threaded end of valve stem processing. Background Art

[0002] The valve stem is an important component of the valve, used for transmission. It is connected to the actuator or handle at the upper part and directly drives the valve core to move or rotate at the lower part to achieve the opening and closing or adjustment function of the valve. During the opening and closing process of the valve, the valve stem is not only a moving part and a stressed part, but also a sealing part. At the same time, it is subjected to the impact and corrosion of the medium and also generates friction with the packing. Therefore, when selecting the valve stem material, it is necessary to ensure that it has sufficient strength, good impact toughness, anti-galling property, and corrosion resistance at the specified temperature. The valve stem is a vulnerable part, and attention should also be paid to the machining performance and heat treatment performance of the material when selecting.

[0003] The utility model with the publication number CN209110333U provides a full-automatic tapping machine for the tail of the valve stem. It includes a machine base, on which a tapping drill is provided. A material channel for discharging workpieces is provided on the machine base. A cylinder is also provided on the machine base, and the output shaft of the cylinder is connected with a tapping pressure plate. The tapping pressure plate is provided with a material pressing groove and a blanking groove. When the cylinder drives the tapping pressure plate to descend, the blanking groove is in pressing fit with the workpiece in the material channel, and the tapping drill corresponds to the position of the blanking groove. When the cylinder drives the tapping pressure plate to ascend, the position of the blanking groove corresponds to the end of the material channel so that the workpiece rolls into the blanking groove. The utility model can realize automatic loading and unloading of the valve core, tap the tail of the valve core during the loading process, and realize unloading after tapping, greatly improving the work efficiency.

[0004] Tapping operation is required for valve stem processing. The existing tapping devices have the following defects when in use:

[0005] 1. Workers need to manually feed the material, and the feeding speed is slow, greatly reducing the work efficiency;

[0006] 2. It is necessary to clamp the valve stem through a clamping device, and manual support is required before clamping, and the operation is cumbersome;

[0007] 3. When discharging, workers still need to take out the processed valve stem, which is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, we propose a tapping device for the threaded end of valve stem processing to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the defects in the prior art that workers need to manually feed the material, the feeding speed is slow, greatly reducing the work efficiency, it is necessary to clamp the valve stem through a clamping device, and manual support is required before clamping, and the operation is cumbersome, and when discharging, workers still need to take out the processed valve stem, which is time-consuming and laborious, and to propose a tapping device for the threaded end of valve stem processing.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] A tapping device for the threaded end of a valve stem during processing, comprising a processing box and a rectangular box. The rectangular box is located directly below the processing box. Both sides of the processing box are fixedly connected with side boxes. One side of each of the two side boxes is fixedly connected with a first leg. One side of the processing box is fixedly connected with a first cross plate. One end of the first cross plate is fixedly connected with a first vertical plate. A control assembly for controlling the falling of the valve stem is arranged on one side of the first vertical plate;

[0011] A clamping assembly for clamping the valve stem is arranged inside the side box;

[0012] A collecting assembly for collecting the valve stem is arranged inside the rectangular box.

[0013] Preferably, the control assembly includes an electric push rod fixedly connected to one side of the first vertical plate. The piston rod of the electric push rod penetrates through the first vertical plate and is fixedly connected with a second vertical plate. An upper baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the second vertical plate. Two symmetrically arranged connecting rods are fixedly connected to one side of the second vertical plate. The same lower baffle is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods. Transverse holes for cooperating with the upper baffle are formed on both sides of the processing box. The lower baffle cooperates with the bottom of the processing box to control the falling of the valve stem, thereby realizing the process of automatic feeding without manual feeding by workers.

[0014] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a sliding block slidably penetrating through the side box. A same tension spring is fixedly connected between one side of the sliding block and the inner wall of one side of the side box, automatically clamping the valve stem without the need for workers to support the valve stem for assistance, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0015] Preferably, the collecting assembly includes an inclined plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular box. A discharge port is formed on one side of the rectangular box. Second legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the rectangular box. A collecting box is arranged on one side of the rectangular box. Two symmetrically arranged springs are fixedly connected between the bottom of the inclined plate and the inner wall of the bottom of the rectangular box for collecting the processed valve stem.

[0016] Preferably, second rectangular holes are formed on both sides of the side box. Second cross plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the second vertical plate. A third cross plate is fixedly connected to one side of the second cross plate. A trapezoidal block is fixedly connected to one end of the third cross plate. The trapezoidal block cooperates with the second rectangular hole and the sliding block to push the two sliding blocks to clamp the valve stem.

[0017] Preferably, an L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to one side of the processing box. A tapping drill is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped plate. A circular hole is formed in one side of the processing box. First rectangular holes are formed in both sides of the processing box near the side box for realizing tapping operation.

[0018] Preferably, a friction pad is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block to increase the friction force and ensure the stability of the valve stem during reprocessing.

[0019] Preferably, the trapezoidal block and the tension spring are not on the same horizontal line, so as to avoid collision between the trapezoidal block and the tension spring.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. Put multiple valve stems above the processing box. At this time, the lowermost valve stem falls on the top of the lower baffle. Start the electric push rod. The piston rod of the electric push rod moves horizontally. The piston rod of the electric push rod drives the second vertical plate to move horizontally. The second vertical plate drives the upper baffle, the second horizontal plate and the connecting rod to move horizontally. The upper baffle passes through the horizontal hole and prevents the upper valve stem from falling. At the same time, the lower baffle continues to move forward. At this time, the lowermost valve stem is located between the upper baffle and the lower baffle.

[0022] 2. The second horizontal plate drives the third horizontal plate to move horizontally. The third horizontal plate drives the trapezoidal block to move horizontally and enter the inside of the side box. The trapezoidal block pushes the sliding block to move horizontally. The two sliding blocks approach each other and clamp the valve stem. At the same time, the tension spring is stretched. At this time, start the tapping drill. The drill bit of the tapping drill taps the valve stem through the circular hole. After the processing is completed, continue to start the electric push rod. At this time, the upper baffle and the lower baffle continue to move forward. The lower baffle no longer blocks the processed valve stem. The unprocessed valve stem still cannot fall above the upper baffle.

[0023] 3. At the same time, the trapezoidal block passes through another second rectangular hole and no longer touches the sliding block. The two sliding blocks release the processed valve stem. The valve stem enters the inside of the rectangular box through the gap between the two connecting rods and pushes the inclined plate to move vertically downward. The inclined plate presses the spring. The valve stem enters the collection box through the discharge port, realizing the buffering function to protect the valve stem. At this time, the piston rod of the electric push rod retracts. In this way, the processing can be continued. Compared with workers, the efficiency is higher, and continuous work can be carried out for a long time.

[0024] In the present invention, by setting the control component, the falling of the valve stem can be controlled, thereby realizing the automatic feeding process. There is no need for workers to manually feed. By setting the clamping component, the valve stem can be automatically clamped without the need for workers to support the valve stem for assistance, greatly improving the work efficiency. By setting the collection component, the valve stem can be quickly collected, and continuous processing can be carried out. Compared with workers, the efficiency is higher, and continuous work can be carried out for a long time, which is convenient to use. Description of the Drawings

[0043] Working principle: When in use, multiple valve stems are put in from above the processing box 1. At this time, the lowermost valve stem falls on the top of the lower baffle 14. Start the electric push rod 4, and the piston rod of the electric push rod 4 moves horizontally. The piston rod of the electric push rod 4 drives the second vertical plate 5 to move horizontally. The second vertical plate 5 drives the upper baffle 12, the second horizontal plate 6 and the connecting rod 18 to move horizontally.

At the same time, the trapezoidal block 25 passes through another second rectangular hole 23 and no longer touches the sliding block 27. The two sliding blocks 27 release the processed valve stem. The valve stem enters the inside of the rectangular box 8 through the gap between the two connecting rods 18 and pushes the inclined plate 20 to move vertically downward. The inclined plate 20 presses the spring 21. The valve stem enters the inside of the collection box 13 through the discharge port 22, realizing the buffering function to protect the valve stem.
