A spring device is arranged on the inner side of the fixing block 13. The transmission structure 6 is movably connected to the transmission shaft 15 through the first bushing 7 and the ball bearing, and the ratchet 11 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 15. A mounting seat 4 is arranged at the end of the first cylinder 5. The mounting seat 4, the fixing block 13, the positioning seat 20 and the latch positioning frame 23 are fixedly installed with the working platform 18 by bolts. The rotating shaft 3 is fixedly installed with the turntable 1. The second cylinder 21 and the first positioning latch 22, and the third cylinder 24 and the second positioning latch 25 are all fixedly installed by bolts. A positioning groove matching the first positioning latch 22 is provided on the side of the turntable 1, and a positioning groove matching the second positioning latch 22 is provided on the side of the product carrier 2. 5, the ends of the second cylinder 21 and the third cylinder 24 are both installed with a positioning seat 20, and the outer sides of the first positioning latch 22 and the second positioning latch 25 are both provided with a latch positioning frame 23, which is driven back and forth by the first cylinder 5 on the mounting seat 4, and the first pawl 9 on the first cylinder 5 pushes the ratchet 11 to rotate during the reciprocating movement. The transmission structure 6 at the rear end of the first pawl 9 is connected to the first pawl 9 for reciprocating movement at one end, and the inclined block 19 is fixed at the other end. When rotation is required, the third pawl 14 is separated from the limit position to ensure that the first pawl 9 can smoothly push the ratchet 11 to rotate. The third pawl 14 can prevent the ratchet 11 from excessive forward rotation. When the ratchet 11 rotates forward, the third pawl 14 is in an unrestricted state. When the ratchet 11 rotates to a specified position, the third pawl 14 becomes a restricted state.The second pawl 12 prevents the ratchet 11 from reversing.

When the first cylinder 5 is retracted, due to the inclined structure of the ratchet 11, the first pawl 9 can move smoothly, and the ratchet 11 is not driven to rotate. Through the cooperation of the three pawls, the first cylinder 5 completes the processing of one acupoint in one back and forth, and when the ratchet 11 rotates, the rotating shaft 3 and the turntable 1 are driven to rotate through the transmission shaft 15. When the turntable 1 rotates, the position of the product carrier 2 is adjusted to achieve feeding. After the position of the product carrier 2 is adjusted, the second cylinder 21 is controlled to operate, driving the first positioning pin 22 to extend and engage with the positioning groove on the side of the turntable 1, so as to position the turntable 1. At the same time, the third cylinder 24 is operated to drive the second positioning pin 25 to extend, so that the second positioning pin 25 is inserted into the positioning groove on the side of the product carrier 2, so that the product carrier 2 is fixed. After the turntable 1 and the product carrier 2 are fixed, multiple precise positioning of the product is achieved, which is convenient for subsequent processing of the product. ,

[0018] Working principle: When the present invention is used, the first cylinder 5 on the mounting seat 4 drives back and forth, and the first pawl 9 on the first cylinder 5 pushes the ratchet 11 to rotate back and forth. The transmission structure 6 at the rear end of the first pawl 9 is connected to the first pawl 9 for reciprocating motion at one end, and the other end is fixed with the inclined block 19. When rotation is required, the third pawl 14 is separated from the limit position to ensure that the first pawl 9 can smoothly push the ratchet 11 to rotate. The third pawl 14 can prevent the ratchet 11 from excessive forward rotation. When the ratchet 11 rotates forward, the third pawl 14 is in the non-rotating position. In the limited state, when the ratchet 11 rotates to the specified position, the third pawl 14 becomes the limited state, and the second pawl 12 prevents the ratchet 11 from reversing. When the first cylinder 5 extends, it drives the ratchet 11 to rotate to the next position. When the first cylinder 5 is retracted, due to the inclined structure of the ratchet 11, the first pawl 9 can move smoothly, and the ratchet 11 is not driven to rotate. Through the cooperation of the three pawls, the first cylinder 5 completes the processing of one acupoint in one back and forth, and when the ratchet 11 rotates, the shaft is driven through the transmission shaft 15. 3 and the turntable 1 rotates. When the turntable 1 rotates, the position of the product carrier 2 is adjusted to achieve feeding. After the position of the product carrier 2 is adjusted, the second cylinder 21 is controlled to operate, driving the first positioning pin 22 to extend and engage with the positioning groove on the side of the turntable 1, so as to position the turntable 1. At the same time, the third cylinder 24 operates to drive the second positioning pin 25 to extend, so that the second positioning pin 25 is inserted into the positioning groove on the side of the product carrier 2, so that the product carrier 2 is fixed. After the turntable 1 and the product carrier 2 are fixed, multiple precise positioning of the product is achieved, which is convenient for subsequent processing of the product. The tapping machine adopts the principle of mechanical positioning, with high positioning accuracy, driven by a single cylinder, and low error rate of machine operation. In addition to the induction line, no other high-voltage power supply is connected, with high safety and simple structure. Tapping multiple acupoints of the turntable 1 improves work efficiency, and can effectively avoid the conflict in time between tapping and picking up and placing products. If necessary, more acupoints of the turntable 1 can be added. Multiple acupoints are staggered in different dimensions and have high safety.
