Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of faucet production, and in particular to a processing center for faucet production. Background Art

[0002] At present, in modern manufacturing, as consumers' requirements for quality of life increase, various types of faucets are widely used due to their aesthetics and functionality. However, since many newly designed faucets have complex geometric shapes, especially curved structures, traditional manual or semi-automatic grinding, polishing and other finishing processes become extremely difficult and inefficient. This not only increases production costs, but may also lead to unstable quality of finished products. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to improve the quality stability of finished faucets, the present application provides a processing center for faucet production.

[0004] The present application provides a faucet production processing center that adopts the following technical solution: A machining center for faucet production, comprising a base, a turntable, a drive assembly, a fixture and a turret. The turntable is rotatably connected to the base. The driving assembly is used to drive the turntable to rotate and control the rotation angle of the turntable. The fixture is connected to the turntable and is used for installing a water tap. The turret is used for processing the faucet at the fixture.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation connection between the base and the turntable and the design of the drive assembly to control the rotation and angle of the turntable, the faucet can be flexibly adjusted in multiple positions, improving the flexibility and accuracy of processing. The turret performs specific cutting, grinding and other operations on the faucet on the fixture to meet the precision processing requirements under different process requirements. Automated processing improves the quality stability of the faucet finished product.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes a pressure seat, a pressure plate and a pressure block, The pressure seat is slidably connected to the base, and the sliding direction is parallel to the rotation axis of the turntable. The pressure plate is rotatably connected to the pressure seat, and the rotation axis of the pressure plate coincides with the rotation axis of the rotating disk. The pressing block is connected to the pressing plate, and the pressing block and the clamp cooperate to clamp the faucet.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure block is connected to the pressure plate and used in conjunction with the clamp, thereby achieving effective fixation of the faucet, preventing displacement or loosening during the processing, and ensuring the processing quality and stability.

[0008] Preferably, the driving assembly is used to drive the turntable and the pressure plate to rotate synchronously.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the faucet rotating with the turntable can be prevented from driving the pressure plate to rotate, ensuring that the position of the faucet remains stable during the processing and avoiding quality problems caused by position deviation. At the same time, this synchronous rotation mechanism can simplify the design of the control system, reduce the complexity of the equipment, and improve the convenience of operation and production efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, the turntable is provided with a slide groove, and the base is provided with an embedding groove. A plug-in is slidably embedded in the slide groove, and one end of the plug-in is used to be inserted into the embedded groove. When the pressure plate is away from the rotating plate, the plug-in unit is inserted into the embedding groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pressure plate is away from the turntable, the plug-in can be inserted into the groove of the base, thereby effectively locking the position of the turntable. This design simplifies the operation process, facilitates the quick completion of the clamping and positioning of the faucet, and improves work efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, the pressure plate is connected to a magnet, and the magnet attracts the plug-in through magnetic force.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic attraction method simplifies the mechanical locking structure. There is no mechanical connection between the pressure plate and the rotating plate, which is convenient for processing.

[0014] Preferably, the base is connected to a reed switch. The reed switch is connected to a controller, and the controller is used to control the drive assembly. When the pressure plate is away from the turntable, the plug-in is not magnetic. When the magnet attracts the plug-in through magnetic force, the plug-in is magnetized and the magnetic field of the plug-in causes the reed switch to conduct.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the reed switch and the controller enables the system to detect the non-magnetic state of the plug-in when the pressure plate is away from the turntable, and lock the drive component through the controller to prevent safety problems caused by misoperation.

[0016] When the magnet attracts the plug-in through magnetic force and magnetizes it, the reed switch will be turned on and send a signal to the controller, thereby unlocking the drive component and ensuring the normal operation of the system.

[0017] Preferably, the reed switches are provided with two, the plug-ins are provided with a plurality, and the embedding grooves are provided corresponding to the plug-ins. One of the reed switches is directly opposite to the slot, and the other reed switch is located between adjacent slots. When both of the reed switches are not conducting, the controller controls the drive assembly to lock. When any of the reed switches is turned on, the controller controls the drive assembly to unlock.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, as long as one reed switch is turned on, indicating that the plug-in has been successfully magnetized and disengaged from the slot, the controller will then unlock the drive assembly, allowing the turntable to operate normally for the next step of processing.

[0019] Preferably, the controller controls the driving component to drive the rotation angle of the turntable according to the pulse signal of the single reed switch.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple plug-ins are magnetized. During the rotation of the turntable, multiple plug-ins pass through the reed switch in turn, causing the reed switch to generate a pulse signal. After receiving the pulse signal, the controller can accurately determine the position of the turntable (accurately determine how many plug-ins pass through the reed switch), thereby achieving fine control of the turntable rotation angle. Precise control improves the positioning accuracy and processing efficiency during the faucet processing process, reduces quality problems caused by position deviation, and ensures product stability and consistency.

[0021] Preferably, it also includes a cylinder, The cylinder is used to drive the pressure seat to slide.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the use of the cylinder allows the pressure plate to quickly and accurately approach or move away from the turntable, so as to facilitate the clamping and unloading of the faucet, realize the fast clamping of the faucet, and control the clamping force of the faucet.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: The rotating connection between the base and the turntable and the design of the drive assembly to control the rotation and angle of the turntable allow the faucet to be flexibly adjusted in multiple positions, improving the flexibility and precision of processing; the turret performs specific cutting, grinding and other operations on the faucet on the fixture to meet the precision processing requirements under different process requirements. Automated processing improves the quality stability of the faucet finished product; The drive assembly is used to drive the turntable and the pressure plate to rotate synchronously; it avoids the pressure plate being driven by the faucet that rotates with the turntable, ensures that the position of the faucet remains stable during the processing, and avoids quality problems caused by position deviation; at the same time, this synchronous rotation mechanism can simplify the design of the control system, reduce the complexity of the equipment, and improve the convenience of operation and production efficiency; When the pressure plate is away from the turntable, the plug-in can be inserted into the groove of the base, thereby effectively locking the position of the turntable; this design simplifies the operation process, facilitates the quick completion of the faucet clamping and positioning, and improves work efficiency; The setting of the reed switch and the controller enables the system to detect the non-magnetic state of the plug-in when the pressure plate is away from the turntable, and lock the drive component through the controller to prevent safety problems caused by misoperation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application discloses a machining center for faucet production, including a base 11, a turntable 12, a fixture 13 and a turret 2.

[0031] The turntable 12 is rotatably connected to the base 11. In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the turntable 12 is vertical.

[0032] The clamp 13 is detachably fixedly connected to the upper surface of the turntable 12. For example, a bolt passes through the clamp 13 and is threadedly connected to the turntable 12. The clamp 13 is used for installing a water faucet.

[0033] The turret 2 is used to process the faucet at the fixture 13.

[0034] The machining center further includes a pressure seat 31 , a pressure plate 32 and a pressure block 33 .

[0035] The pressing seat 31 is slidably connected to the base 11 , and the sliding direction of the pressing seat 31 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating disk 12 . That is, in this embodiment: the pressing seat 31 slides vertically; and the pressing seat 31 is located above the rotating disk 12 .

[0036] The pressure plate 32 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the pressure seat 31 , and the rotation axis of the pressure plate 32 coincides with the rotation axis of the rotating disk 12 .

[0037] The pressing block 33 is detachably fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressing plate 32. For example, a bolt penetrates the pressing block 33 and is threadedly connected to the pressing plate 32.

[0038] The pressing block 33 and the clamp 13 cooperate to clamp the faucet. Specifically, the pressing block 33 and the clamp 13 are both provided with a contoured groove; the faucet can be embedded in the contoured groove, and the faucet can fit the groove wall of the contoured groove; at the same time, the pressing block 33 and the clamp 13 are both provided with an avoidance groove, which is used to avoid the tool on the turret 2.

[0039] The machining center further comprises a cylinder 4 and a drive assembly 5 .

[0040] The cylinder 4 is used to drive the pressing seat 31 to slide. Specifically, the cylinder body of the cylinder 4 is located above the pressing seat 31 , the cylinder body of the cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the base 11 , and the piston rod of the cylinder 4 is connected to the pressing seat 31 .

[0041] The driving assembly 5 is used to drive the turntable 12 and the pressure plate 32 to rotate synchronously and control the rotation angle of the turntable 12 .

[0042] In one embodiment: both ends of the piston rod of the cylinder 4 extend out of the cylinder body, and the piston rod is hollow; The driving assembly 5 includes a transmission shaft 51, a transmission wheel, a transmission structure and a driving source; The transmission shaft 51 is vertical, and the lower end of the transmission shaft 51 passes through the piston rod and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 32; The transmission wheel is rotatably connected to the base 11, and the transmission wheel is sleeved outside the transmission shaft 51. The transmission wheel and the transmission shaft 51 are circumferentially fixed and axially slidable; for example, the transmission wheel and the transmission shaft 51 are connected by a spline; The transmission structure is connected between the output shaft of the driving source and the transmission wheel; for example, the transmission structure includes cylindrical gears, bevel gears, etc.; The output shaft of the driving source may directly drive the turntable 12 to rotate, or may drive the turntable 12 to rotate via a transmission mechanism such as a reducer.

[0043] The turntable 12 is provided with a plurality of slide grooves 121 equidistantly arranged along the circumference of the turntable 12 . The base 11 is provided with embedded grooves 111 , and the number of the embedded grooves 111 corresponds to the number of the slide grooves 121 .

[0044] Reference Figure 3 The machining center further includes a plug-in 6. The number of the plug-in 6 corresponds to the number of the slide slots 121. The plug-in 6 is slidably embedded in the slide slot 121; the upper end of the plug-in 6 is always located in the slide slot 121, and the lower end of the plug-in 6 is used to be inserted into the embedding groove 111.

[0045] When the lower end of the plug-in unit 6 is inserted into the embedding groove 111 , the rotating disk 12 and the base 11 are locked.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The machining center further comprises a magnet 7. The magnet 7 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 32.

[0047] When the pressure plate 32 moves downward to clamp the faucet with the pressure block 33 and the clamp 13, the magnet 7 magnetizes the plug-in 6, and the magnet 7 attracts the plug-in 6 upward by magnetic force to make the lower end of the plug-in 6 escape from the embedding groove 111. For example, the plug-in 6 can be an iron rod.

[0048] When the pressure plate 32 moves upward to be away from the rotating plate 12 , the insert 6 is demagnetized, and gravity causes the insert 6 to be inserted into the embedding groove 111 .

[0049] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the machining center also includes a reed switch 8 and a controller.

[0050] The reed switch 8 is connected to the base 11 . Two reed switches 8 are provided, one reed switch 8 is located directly below the embedding groove 111 , and the other reed switch 8 is located between adjacent embedding grooves 111 . Figure 4 In the figure, the dotted rectangle indicates the position of the reed switch 8.

[0051] When the pressure plate 32 moves downward to clamp the faucet with the pressure block 33 and the clamp 13, the magnet 7 magnetizes the plug 6, and the magnetic field of the plug 6 can make the reed switch 8 located directly below the plug 6 conduct, while the reed switch 8 located obliquely below the plug 6 is still not conducted. For example, when the plug 6 is facing the embedded groove 111, the reed switch 8 located directly below the embedded groove 111 is conducted, and the reed switch 8 located between adjacent embedded grooves 111 is still not conducted.

[0052] When the pressure plate 32 moves upward to be away from the rotating disk 12, the plug-in 6 is demagnetized, and the two reed switches 8 are not conducting.

[0053] The controller is connected to two reed switches 8. When both reed switches 8 are not conducting, the controller controls the drive assembly 5 to lock; when any one of the reed switches 8 is conducting, the controller controls the drive assembly 5 to unlock.

[0054] For example, the driving source of the driving component 5 may be a brake motor, and the controller is used to control the locking or unlocking of the brake motor.

[0055] The controller also controls the driving assembly 5 to drive the rotating disk 12 to rotate according to the pulse signal of the single reed switch 8 .

[0056] The implementation principle of a faucet production processing center in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the rotation connection between the base 11 and the turntable 12 and the design of the drive assembly 5 for the rotation and angle control of the turntable 12 enable the faucet to be flexibly adjusted in multiple positions, thereby improving the flexibility and precision of processing; the turret 2 performs specific cutting, grinding and other operations on the faucet on the fixture 13, thereby meeting the precision processing requirements under different process requirements; The driving assembly 5 is used to drive the rotating disk 12 and the pressure plate 32 to rotate synchronously, so as to avoid the pressure plate 32 being driven to rotate by the faucet rotating with the rotating disk 12; When the pressure plate 32 is away from the rotating disk 12, the plug-in unit 6 can be inserted into the embedding groove 111 of the base 11, thereby effectively locking the position of the rotating disk 12; The arrangement of the reed switch 8 and the controller enables the system to detect the non-magnetic state of the plug-in 6 when the pressure plate 32 is away from the rotary plate 12, and lock the drive assembly 5 through the controller; During the rotation of the turntable 12, multiple plug-ins 6 pass through the reed switch 8 in sequence, causing the reed switch 8 to generate a pulse signal. After receiving the pulse signal, the controller can accurately determine the position of the turntable 12 (accurately determine how many plug-ins 6 pass through the reed switch 8), thereby achieving fine control of the rotation angle of the turntable 12.

[0057] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
