The collection component 6 includes a collection box 61 and a blower 62. The collection box 61 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the moving table 32. When the moving table 32 moves, it drives the collection box 61 to move synchronously. The blower 62 is fixed on the side of the feeding track 23 along the length of the feeding track 23. When the blower 62 is started, it blows towards the collection box 61, so that the shavings in the processing slot 332 and the collection slot 322 fall into the collection box 61, thereby preventing the shavings generated by tapping from flying around and reducing the time required to clean up the shavings.

[0055] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the application is:
[0056] During the machining of the tapping machine, first, the flange nut to be machined is transmitted to the accommodating groove 12 on the upper side of the machine body 1 through a conveyor belt or manually, then the first driving member 21 is controlled by the control panel 11 to drive the toggle lever 22 to reciprocate, so that the flange nut to be machined in the accommodating groove 12 falls into the feeding groove 231 and slides along the length direction of the feeding groove 231, and the flange nut to be machined falls into the limiting groove 331 on the limiting plate 33, and the limiting block 34 further limits the flange nut in the limiting groove 331;
[0057] Secondly, the moving table 32 and the limiting plate 33 are driven by the driving cylinder 311 to move towards the direction close to the tap 41, the tap 41 continues to be inserted into the machining groove 332 after penetrating the flange nut, so as to realize tapping machining of the flange nut, so that the inner wall of the flange nut has internal threads; the flange nut after machining remains on the tap 41, the driving cylinder 311 resets, and in this process, the limiting block 34 opens outward against the torsional force of the torsional spring 351, and after the flange nut is detached from the limiting groove 331, the limiting block 34 resets under the action of the torsional spring 351, and then the next flange nut is clamped, the previous nut is moved, and the cycle is repeated, and finally the nut on the tap 41 falls into the discharge box 51.
[0058] At the same time in the tapping process, start the fan 62, make the fan 62 blow to the direction close to the storage box 61, make the debris fall into the inside of the storage box 61 through the processing groove 332 and the storage groove 322, and through the setting of the magnetic attraction piece 632, the debris in the inside of the storage box 61 is adsorbed on the inside bottom side of the drawer box 63, when the debris in the inside of the drawer box 63 is collected, take out the drawer box 63 from the inside of the drawer groove 611 through the handle 631, collect the debris, so as to avoid the debris produced by tapping flying everywhere, reduce the time needed for cleaning the debris.
[0059] Through the above setting, under the premise of realizing the positioning and clamping of the flange nut in the processing process, the debris produced in the processing is also collected through the storage assembly 6, so as to improve the stability of the flange nut in the processing process, enhance the processing quality of the flange nut, avoid the debris produced by tapping flying everywhere, and make the flange nut processing more environmentally clean.
