Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of luggage handle processing, and in particular to the technical field of luggage handle punching equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component for achieving portability, the structural integrity and assembly precision of the luggage handle directly determine the user experience and lifespan of the luggage. To meet the functional requirements of handle extension adjustment and connector assembly, punching is required at specific locations on the handle tube. The accuracy of the hole position, the flatness of the hole wall, and the structural stability of the tube are key indicators for measuring the quality of punching.

[0003] Currently available bag handle punching equipment is mostly designed for single-specification or fixed-model handles, using a fixed punching mechanism: the punching mold and positioning fixture positions are pre-fixed, and it can only accommodate handles with specific lengths, diameters, and hole position requirements. As bag products become more diversified and personalized, the specifications of handles need to be frequently adjusted according to design requirements. However, existing equipment cannot flexibly adjust the punching position. Every time the handle model is changed, the mold needs to be disassembled and recalibrated, and the fixture reference needs to be adjusted. This not only consumes a lot of time, but is also prone to hole position deviation due to manual calibration errors, reducing production efficiency and product qualification rate.

[0004] Existing equipment can only clamp and fix the pull rod tube through external clamps during the drilling process, lacking a positioning and support structure inside the pull rod. Since most luggage pull rods are hollow tubular profiles, and some thin-walled pull rods have a wall thickness of only 0.8-1.5mm, the instantaneous impact force of the punch on the tube during drilling can easily cause the tube wall to dent, deform, or even crack around the hole and severe burrs. At the same time, the lack of internal support will cause the tube to shift radially under force, resulting in the coaxiality deviation of the hole exceeding the allowable range, which will affect the subsequent assembly accuracy of the pull rod with the handle and base. In severe cases, it can cause quality problems such as the pull rod sticking or loosening during extension and retraction, failing to meet the luggage industry's requirements for product durability and consistency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a punching device for luggage handles, which can solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention proposes a punching device for luggage pull rods, comprising a workbench, a positioning plate on the workbench, a central rod mounted on the positioning plate, a threaded section on the side of the central rod near the positioning plate, and a smooth rod on the side of the central rod away from the positioning plate. A positioning core is slidably mounted on the smooth rod, the shape of the positioning core matching the through hole inside the pull rod. An adjusting sleeve is threaded onto the threaded section, and the adjusting sleeve is connected to a positioning cylinder. A positioning ring groove is formed on the end face of the positioning core near the positioning cylinder, and the positioning cylinder is matched and installed with the positioning ring groove. A punching machine is located above the positioning plate.

[0007] Preferably, the outer side of the positioning core is provided with a positioning mechanism, the positioning mechanism including a clamping cylinder, the inner side of the clamping cylinder is provided with a positioning groove that matches the pull rod, and the top of the side of the clamping cylinder away from the positioning plate is connected to a top plate, the top plate being provided with a guide groove for the punch of the punching machine to pass through.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping cylinder consists of two symmetrically arranged clamping plates.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning plate has a first slide rail on one side, a first slider is slidably mounted on the first slide rail, the first slider is connected to a base, a punching bracket is mounted on the base, and a punching machine is mounted on the punching bracket. The positioning plate has a second slide rail on the other side, a second slider is slidably mounted on the second slide rail, the second slider is connected to a vertical plate, the vertical plate is fixed to the side of the movable seat, the movable seat is located below the positioning core, and the positioning mechanism is mounted on the movable seat.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning core includes a driving part and a positioning part. The driving part has magnetic attraction parts on its left and right sides that can be magnetically attracted. Electromagnets are embedded on the left and right sides of the positioning groove. The positions of the electromagnets match the magnetic attraction parts. A clearance groove is provided on the top of the positioning part. A slot is provided on the bottom of the end face of the positioning part on the side away from the driving part. The slot is connected to the clearance groove.

[0011] Preferably, the center of the drive unit has a groove that matches the optical rod.

[0012] Preferably, the worktable is provided with a mounting plate on the side away from the positioning plate, a drive screw is mounted on the mounting plate, a movable plate is threaded onto the drive screw, and a fixing block is mounted on the side of the movable plate near the positioning plate, the shape of the fixing block matching the through hole in the pull rod.

[0013] Preferably, the workbench is provided with a discharge trough, which is located between the mounting plate and the positioning plate, and the discharge trough is located on the side closer to the mounting plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention uses a positioning core to provide internal positioning support for the tie rod, ensuring a stable position during drilling and reducing drilling deviations caused by tie rod swaying or displacement, thereby improving drilling accuracy and quality. The drilling machine is movable, and the position of the positioning core can be adjusted by rotating the positioning cylinder to meet drilling requirements at different positions and angles. It is applicable to the processing of tie rods of various shapes and specifications, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. The clamping cylinder adsorbs and moves the positioning core, allowing it to move synchronously with the drilling machine, enabling multi-hole processing in one operation. This avoids the tedious process of repeatedly adjusting and repositioning the tie rod in traditional processing methods, greatly shortening processing time and improving production efficiency. Drilling waste is stored in the slot; when the positioning part moves out of the tie rod, the waste is automatically cleared out, which is very convenient.
