Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cold heading machine processing, in particular to the technical field of a clamping mechanism used for a cold heading machine. Background Art

[0002] Cold heading machine is a special equipment mainly used for mass production of nuts, bolts and other fasteners. According to the theory of metal plastic deformation, a certain pressure is applied to the metal blank at room temperature to cause it to undergo plastic deformation in the die cavity and be formed into the specified shape and size. When processing fasteners, it is necessary to use the cold heading device of the cold heading machine for processing.

[0003] At present, cold heading machines release a lot of heat during the processing process, and require a lot of lubricating oil to work during the operation of the cold heading machines. Most cold heading machines have skylights on the top of the cold heading machines. When the cold heading machines are working, a lot of heat will be emitted from the skylight and oil mist will be generated. The oil mist not only endangers the health of the workers but also causes harm to the environment. Moreover, the lubricating oil in the oil mist cannot be recycled, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0004] In order to solve the problems raised in the background technology, for example, application number CN201921187597.X discloses a cold heading machine, including a cold heading machine body, a smoke collecting hood is installed on the top of the cold heading machine body, the bottom of the smoke collecting hood is communicated with the cold heading machine body, a smoke conveying pipe is installed on the top of the smoke collecting hood, the smoke conveying pipe is "L" shaped, and one vertical end of the smoke conveying pipe is communicated with the de-oiling tank, the oil mist generated by the cold heading machine is collected by the smoke collecting hood, the oil in the oil mist is separated by the mutual cooperation between the cooling pipe, the de-oiling plate and the guide plate, the separated oil is discharged through the oil discharge pipe, and the treated mist is discharged through the vacuum pump, which can not only avoid the oil mist from polluting the environment, but also can recycle the oil in the oil mist, but the device also has the following defects: Although the device is provided with a smoke hood to collect the oil mist generated by the cold heading machine, when the cold heading machine is in use, the entire feeding, shearing, cold heading and ejection steps are mostly subdivided, and each step requires manual adjustment. Although the final use requirements can be met, this will increase labor and the overall use efficiency will be greatly reduced, making it very impractical to use.

[0005] In order to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned technology, for example, application number CN202320186237.8 discloses a novel cold heading machine, including a base and a die base body, the upper end of the base is fixedly installed with a main body mechanism, the two ends of the base are respectively fixedly installed with a power mechanism and a discharging mechanism, the side of the base is fixedly installed with a feeding clamping mechanism, a die base is arranged between the feeding clamping mechanism and the main body mechanism, and a feeding mechanism, a shearing mechanism, a die base and an ejection mechanism are arranged; the feeding mechanism can clamp multiple steels at the same time and feed them into the cold heading machine, and cut the multiple steels according to length through the shearing mechanism, and finally eject the screws through the ejection mechanism after cold heading into screws in the die base; the production efficiency is greatly improved, but the device still has the following defects: 1. In the process of machining a workpiece, it is usually necessary to perform cold heading on multiple surfaces, but the above device cannot drive the workpiece to rotate, which results in the inability to machine other surfaces of the workpiece. Manual operation is required by the staff, which brings great inconvenience to the machining; 2. There are fewer cold heading stations in the above device, which results in uneven cold heading of the workpiece, thereby reducing the work quality. Summary of the invention
