[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the single tap tapping mechanism includes a second drive housing fixed on the frame, a second guide rail arranged in the left and right direction is fixed inside the second drive housing, a moving block is rotatably connected on the second guide rail, a drive rod arranged in the horizontal direction is rotatably connected inside the moving block, a second tapping chuck is fixed at the left protruding end of the drive rod passing through the second linear bearing, a second tap is fixed on the second tapping chuck, and the second linear bearing is inserted into and fixed at the left end of the second drive housing;

[0014] The right end of the drive rod is fixed with a spline shaft coaxial with it. The spline shaft is connected to a third gear via a spline. The third gear is rotatably connected to a second support plate. The second support plate is fixedly connected to a second drive housing. A third servo motor is fixed on the second support plate. A fourth gear is fixed on the motor shaft of the third servo motor. The fourth gear meshes with the third gear.

[0015] A rack is formed on the moving block, and the rack meshes with a fifth gear. The fifth gear is fixed on the motor shaft of the fourth servo motor, which is fixed inside the second drive housing. Both the fourth and third servo motors are electrically connected to the controller.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the third servo motor drives the fourth gear to rotate, the fourth gear drives the third gear to rotate, the third gear drives the spline shaft to rotate via the spline, the spline shaft drives the drive rod to rotate, and the drive rod drives the second tap to rotate via the second tapping chuck; at the same time, the fourth servo motor drives the fifth gear to rotate, the fifth gear drives the moving block to move to the left via the rack, and the moving block drives the drive rod to move to the left, so that the drive rod moves while rotating, thereby performing tapping work on the workpiece; when the tap reaches the bottom, the third servo motor and the fourth servo motor simultaneously reverse their directions, and the second tap rotates and disengages from the workpiece.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: the feeding device includes a feeding slide with the left side higher than the right side, and two limiting guide rods equidistant from the feeding slide; the limiting guide rods are fixedly connected to the feeding slide, and the feeding slide is fixed on the frame;

[0018] A feeding block is provided below the right end of the feeding chute. A rectangular slot is formed at the right end of the feeding block. The bottom of the feeding block is slidably connected to a third guide rail arranged in the left and right directions. The feeding block is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod of the first servo telescopic cylinder. The first servo telescopic cylinder and the third guide rail are fixed on the frame.

[0019] The feeding block is located in front of the workpiece positioning seat.

[0020] The flipping device includes a four-jaw chuck, which is fixed on the rotating disk of a rotary cylinder. The rotary cylinder is fixed on the two piston rods of a double-rod cylinder, which is fixed on a movable seat. A second cylinder is fixed on the movable seat, and the second cylinder is located to the left of the double-rod cylinder and directly opposite the rectangular slot.

[0021] The movable seat is slidably connected to a fourth guide rail arranged in the left-right direction. The movable seat is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod of the second servo telescopic cylinder. The second servo telescopic cylinder and the fourth guide rail are fixed to the frame. The controller controls the first servo telescopic cylinder, the second servo telescopic cylinder, the second cylinder, the double-rod cylinder, the rotary cylinder, and the four-jaw chuck.

[0022] With the above technical solution, the workpiece is put in from the top of the feeding slide, and multiple workpieces can be put in at one time. Then, by setting the left side of the feeding channel to be higher than the right side, the workpiece can automatically slide to the right and down. The first servo telescopic cylinder drives the feeding block to move to the left. When the rectangular slot moves to the bottom of the workpiece on the feeding slide, the bottom workpiece automatically enters the rectangular slot.

[0023] Then, after the workpiece on the workpiece positioning seat is finished and pushed away from the rectangular slot by the cylinder, the first servo telescopic cylinder drives the feeding block to move to the right. The feeding block moves the workpiece on the feeding block to the right and moves to the front of the rectangular slot. Then, the piston rod of the second cylinder extends, pushing the workpiece on the feeding block backward into the rectangular slot. The rear side wall of the rectangular slot can position the workpiece. The piston rod of the second cylinder returns to its original position. Then, the double tapping mechanism and the single tapping mechanism tap the corresponding holes on the workpiece. At the same time, the feeding block moves to the left and returns to its original position, and another workpiece enters the rectangular slot.

[0024] After the double-tapping mechanism and the single-tapping mechanism complete one tapping operation, the second servo telescopic cylinder moves the moving seat to the left a certain distance, aligning the four-jaw chuck with the workpiece in the rectangular slot. Then, the double-rod cylinder moves the rotary cylinder forward, which in turn moves the four-jaw chuck to the front end of the rectangular slot. The piston rod of the cylinder then extends, pushing the workpiece, which has undergone one tapping operation, into the four-jaw chuck. The four-jaw chuck clamps the workpiece. Next, the double-rod cylinder moves the four-jaw chuck backward, disengaging the workpiece from the rectangular slot. Finally, the rotary cylinder rotates the four-jaw chuck 90 degrees, and the four-jaw chuck pulls the workpiece... The workpiece is rotated 90 degrees, and then the double-rod cylinder drives the four-jaw chuck forward again. The four-jaw chuck inserts the rotated workpiece back into the rectangular slot. Then the four-jaw chuck releases the workpiece and moves back to reset. The second servo telescopic cylinder drives the moving seat to move to the right to reset. The piston rod of the second cylinder extends to push the workpiece in the rectangular slot back to position it. Then the double tapping mechanism and the single tapping mechanism perform secondary tapping on the workpiece. After the workpiece is tapped twice, all six screw holes on the workpiece are processed. Then the piston rod of the cylinder extends to push the processed workpiece to the discharge device to complete the automatic discharge.

[0025] The present invention is further configured such that: both the feeding chute and the limiting guide rod include an inclined section that is higher on the left and lower on the right, an arc transition section and a vertical section;

[0026] A reguide limiting sleeve is fixed on the vertical section of the limiting guide rod;

[0027] The reguide limiting sleeve includes a tapered portion and a cylindrical portion arranged with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part. The diameter of the small end of the tapered portion is equal to the outer diameter of the limiting guide rod. The minimum distance between the cylindrical portion and the feed slide is matched with the width clearance of the workpiece.

[0028] The above technical solution allows for precise positioning of the workpiece at the bottom of the feed slide via the guide limiting sleeve, enabling it to smoothly enter the rectangular slot of the feeding block.

[0029] The present invention is further configured such that: the discharge device includes a discharge plate with a lower front and a higher rear, the rear end of the discharge plate is connected to the front end of the rectangular groove, and side baffles are fixed at both ends of the discharge plate.

[0030] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom surface of the rectangular slot is higher than the bottom surface of the rectangular slot;

[0031] The front end of the rectangular groove is formed with a guide chamfer.

[0032] The rectangular groove and the rectangular slot are staggered at different heights, and the front end of the rectangular groove is provided with a guide chamfer, which can facilitate the workpiece in the rectangular slot to be pushed into the rectangular groove.

[0033] The present invention is further configured such that: the movable block is formed with symmetrical stepped holes extending in the left and right directions, and the driving rod is in the shape of a stepped rod;

[0034] The small-diameter rod of the drive rod is inserted into the symmetrical stepped hole. Two needle roller bearings and a thrust bearing are sleeved on the small-diameter rod of the drive rod, which are arranged on the left and right sides. The needle roller bearings are located inside the thrust bearings and are inserted into the symmetrical stepped hole.

[0035] The thrust bearing on the left is clamped on the stepped surface of the drive rod and the left stepped surface of the symmetrical stepped hole;

[0036] The thrust bearing on the right is clamped on the right step surface of the support ring and the symmetrical stepped hole; a disc spring is clamped between the support ring and the splined shaft.

[0037] Through the above technical solution, the drive rod can have a certain axial movement in the axial direction, which can prevent the tap from getting stuck during the tapping process.

[0038] The outstanding effects of this invention are:

[0039] Compared with existing technologies, the double tap tapping mechanism and single tap tapping mechanism of the tapping device can tap three holes on the workpiece at one time without interfering with each other; the flipping device can automatically flip the workpiece 90 degrees, thereby realizing the workpiece processing work by tapping twice.

[0040] The feeding and discharging devices can automatically complete the workpiece feeding, feeding and discharging operations, which can effectively improve the workpiece processing efficiency and significantly reduce production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0059] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0060] The following is for reference Figures 1 to 9 The present invention will be described as follows:

[0061] A special tapping machine for profile cabinet iron tee corner connectors includes a feeding device 10 fixed on the frame, a tapping device 20, a flipping device 30, and a discharging device 40. The tapping device 20 includes a workpiece positioning seat 201 fixed on the frame. The workpiece positioning seat 201 has a rectangular groove 202 with openings on the upper and front sides and a clearance groove 203 penetrating the middle of the rectangular groove 202. A double tap tapping mechanism 21 is provided directly above the rectangular groove 202, and a single tap tapping mechanism 22 is provided on the right side of the clearance groove 203.

[0062] A clearance hole 204 is formed on the rear side wall of the rectangular groove 202. A cylinder 205 is provided behind the clearance hole 204, and the piston rod of the cylinder 205 is directly opposite the clearance hole 204. The cylinder 205 is fixed on the frame. The feeding device 10, tapping device 20, tilting device 30 and discharging device 40 are controlled by a controller, which controls the extension and retraction of the cylinder.

[0063] The workpiece enters the rectangular slot of the tapping device through the feeding device. Then, the double tapping mechanism 21 taps the first and fifth holes in the vertical direction on the workpiece 90, while the single tapping mechanism 22 taps the third hole in the horizontal direction on the workpiece 90. After tapping, the flipping device flips the workpiece 90 degrees and inserts it back into the rectangular slot. Then, the double tapping mechanism 21 taps the first and fifth holes in the original horizontal direction on the workpiece 90, and the single tapping mechanism 22 taps the third hole in the original vertical direction on the workpiece 90. After tapping, the piston rod of the cylinder 205 extends, pushing the workpiece 90 out of the rectangular slot and onto the discharge device. Through the two tapping operations of the double tapping mechanism and the single tapping mechanism, the tapping of the six holes (first, third, and fifth) in the vertical and horizontal directions on the workpiece can be completed quickly without any omissions. Automatic feeding and discharging are also possible, which can significantly improve the tapping efficiency of workpieces, i.e., iron tee fittings.

[0064] The double tapping mechanism 21 includes a first drive housing 2101 fixed on the frame, a pair of first guide rails 2102 arranged front and rear inside the first drive housing 2101, a lifting block 2103 slidably connected on the pair of first guide rails 2102, the middle of the lifting block 2103 being screwed onto a vertically arranged screw 2104, the screw 2104 being rotatably connected to a support plate 2105 arranged above and below via bearings, the support plate 2105 being fixedly connected to the first drive housing 2101, and a first servo motor 2106 for driving the screw 2104 to rotate is fixed on the upper support plate 2105;

[0065] The lifting block 2103 has two vertically arranged splined rods 2107 hinged to it by bearings. The middle of each splined rod 2107 is connected to a first gear 2108 by a spline. The two first gears 2108 are rotatably connected to the base plate 2109. The base plate 2109 is fixed in the lower middle part of the first drive housing 2101. One side of each of the two first gears 2108 meshes with a second gear 2110. The second gear 2110 is fixed on the motor shaft of the second servo motor 2111. The second servo motor 2111 is fixed on the base plate 2109.

[0066] The spline rod 2107 passes through the lower extension end of the first linear bearing 2112 and is fixed with a first tapping chuck 2113, on which a first tap 2114 is fixed; the first linear bearing 2112 is inserted into and fixed to the bottom of the first drive housing 2101. The first servo motor and the second servo motor are both electrically connected to the controller.

[0067] The first servo motor drives the screw to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting block to move downwards. The lifting block then drives the two splined rods to move downwards, and the splined rods drive the first tap to move downwards via the first tapping chuck. Simultaneously, the second servo motor drives the second gear to rotate, which in turn drives the two first gears to rotate synchronously. The two first gears drive the corresponding splined rods to rotate via the spline, thus causing the splined rods to move downwards while rotating, thereby completing the tapping operation. After the first tap has reached the bottom, the first and second servo motors reverse their directions, and the first tap rotates back and detaches from the workpiece.

[0068] The single tap tapping mechanism 22 includes a second drive housing 2201 fixed on the frame. A second guide rail 2202 arranged in the left and right direction is fixed inside the second drive housing 2201. A moving block 2203 is rotatably connected to the second guide rail 2202. A horizontally arranged drive rod 2204 is rotatably connected inside the moving block 2203. A second tapping chuck 2206 is fixed to the left protruding end of the drive rod 2204 through the second linear bearing 2205. A second tap 2207 is fixed to the second tapping chuck 2206. The second linear bearing 2205 is inserted into and fixed to the left end of the second drive housing 2201.

[0069] The right end of the drive rod 2204 is fixed with a splined shaft 2208 coaxially arranged therewith. The splined shaft 2208 is connected to a third gear 2209 via a spline. The third gear 2209 is rotatably connected to a second support plate 2210. The second support plate 2210 is fixedly connected to the second drive housing 2201. A third servo motor 2211 is fixed on the second support plate 2210. A fourth gear 2212 is fixed on the motor shaft of the third servo motor 2211. The fourth gear 2212 meshes with the third gear 2209.

[0070] A rack 22031 is formed on the moving block 2203, and the rack 22031 meshes with a fifth gear 2213. The fifth gear 2213 is fixed on the motor shaft of the fourth servo motor 2214, and the fourth servo motor 2214 is fixed inside the second drive housing 2201. Both the fourth servo motor and the third servo motor are electrically connected to the controller.

[0071] The third servo motor drives the fourth gear to rotate, which in turn drives the third gear. The third gear, through a spline, drives the spline shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the drive rod to rotate. The drive rod, through the second tapping chuck, drives the second tap to rotate. Simultaneously, the fourth servo motor drives the fifth gear to rotate, which, through a rack, moves the moving block to the left. The moving block then moves the drive rod to the left, thus causing the drive rod to move while rotating, thereby tapping the workpiece. Once the tap has reached its limit, the third and fourth servo motors simultaneously reverse their directions, causing the second tap to rotate and disengage from the workpiece.

[0072] The feeding device 10 includes a feeding slide 101 with the left side higher than the right side, and two limiting guide rods 102 equidistant from the feeding slide 101. The limiting guide rods 102 are fixedly connected to the feeding slide 101, and the feeding slide 101 is fixed on the frame.

[0073] The feeding chute 101 is provided with a feeding block 103 at the lower right end. The right end of the feeding block 103 is formed with a rectangular slot 1031. The bottom of the feeding block 103 is slidably connected to the third guide rail 104 arranged in the left and right direction. The feeding block 103 is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod of the first servo telescopic cylinder 105. The first servo telescopic cylinder 105 and the third guide rail 104 are fixed on the frame.

[0074] The feeding block 103 is located on the front side of the workpiece positioning seat 201.

[0075] The flipping device 30 includes a four-jaw chuck 301, which is fixed on the rotating disk of the rotary cylinder 302. The rotary cylinder 302 is fixed on the two piston rods of the double-rod cylinder 303. The double-rod cylinder 303 is fixed on the movable seat 304. A second cylinder 305 is fixed on the movable seat 304. The second cylinder 305 is located to the left of the double-rod cylinder 303 and faces the rectangular slot 202.

[0076] The movable seat 304 is slidably connected to the fourth guide rail 306 arranged in the left-right direction. The movable seat 304 is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod of the second servo telescopic cylinder 307. The second servo telescopic cylinder 307 and the fourth guide rail 306 are fixed to the frame. The controller controls the first servo telescopic cylinder, the second servo telescopic cylinder, the second cylinder, the double-rod cylinder, the rotary cylinder, and the four-jaw chuck.

[0077] Workpieces are placed from the top of the feeding slide, and multiple workpieces can be placed at once. Then, by setting the left side of the feeding channel to be higher than the right side, the workpieces can automatically slide to the right and down. The first servo telescopic cylinder drives the feeding block to move to the left. When the rectangular slot moves to the bottom of the workpiece on the feeding slide, the bottom workpiece automatically enters the rectangular slot.

[0078] Then, after the workpiece on the workpiece positioning seat is finished and pushed away from the rectangular groove by the cylinder 205, the first servo telescopic cylinder drives the feeding block to move to the right. The feeding block moves the workpiece on the feeding block to the right and moves to the front of the rectangular groove. Then, the piston rod of the second cylinder extends and pushes the workpiece on the feeding block backward into the rectangular groove. The rear side wall of the rectangular groove can position the workpiece. The piston rod of the second cylinder resets. Then, the double tap tapping mechanism and the single tap tapping mechanism 22 tap the corresponding holes on the workpiece. At the same time, the feeding block moves to the left and resets, and another workpiece enters the rectangular groove.

[0079] After the double-tap tapping mechanism and the single-tap tapping mechanism complete one tapping operation, the second servo telescopic cylinder moves the moving seat to the left a certain distance, aligning the four-jaw chuck with the workpiece on the rectangular slot 202. Then, the double-rod cylinder moves the rotary cylinder forward, which in turn moves the four-jaw chuck to the front end of the rectangular slot. The piston rod of cylinder 205 then extends, pushing the workpiece that has undergone one tapping operation into the four-jaw chuck. The four-jaw chuck clamps the workpiece. The double-rod cylinder then moves the four-jaw chuck backward, disengaging the workpiece from the rectangular slot. Finally, the rotary cylinder rotates the four-jaw chuck 90 degrees, causing it to move... The workpiece is rotated 90 degrees, and then the double-rod cylinder drives the four-jaw chuck to move forward again. The four-jaw chuck inserts the rotated workpiece back into the rectangular slot. Then the four-jaw chuck releases the workpiece and moves backward to reset. The second servo telescopic cylinder drives the moving seat to move to the right to reset.
