[0031] Example: Figure 1-5As shown, a stainless steel cutlery handle inserting machine comprises a machine base 1, a first placement seat 2, a second placement seat 3, and a heating component. The first placement seat 2 is assembled with the machine and used to clamp the cutlery body 901. The second placement seat 3 is slidably assembled with the machine base 1 and used to clamp the cutlery handle. The second placement seat 3 moves back and forth toward the first placement seat 2 for inserting the cutlery handle with the cutlery body 901. The heating component is assembled with the machine base 1 and used to heat the cutlery body 901. The cutlery handle is provided with a plug-in slot for inserting the cutlery body 901, and the plug-in end of the cutlery body 901 refers to an end of the cutlery body 901 inserted into the plug-in slot of the cutlery handle. When processing stainless steel cutlery, the cutlery handle is placed on the first placement seat 2, the cutlery body 901 is placed on the second placement seat 3, and the heating component heats the cutlery body 90 1 is heated, the cutlery body 901 is deformed by the heat, and the first placement seat 2 pushes the cutlery handle to move toward the cutlery body 901, so that the two are pressed against each other. After the cutlery body 901 is cooled, a stable connection is formed, which simplifies the assembly process of stainless steel tableware. The hot plug-in assembly process is relatively simple, and the required equipment and labor costs are lower, thereby reducing the processing and production costs of stainless steel tableware. Secondly, the connection between the cutlery body 901 and the cutlery handle is located inside the cutlery handle, and the tableware has a strong sense of integration and an overall beautiful appearance. It is worth mentioning that in order to make the cutlery handle and the cutlery body 901 more stable after being plugged in, the plug-in groove is T-shaped. After the cutlery body 901 is thermally deformed, it is inserted into the plug-in groove of the cutlery handle. After being pressed, it is deformed in a manner that fills the T-shaped plug-in groove, thereby preventing it from falling off.

[0032] Among them, the heating component includes a power supply 401 and two groups of electrodes 402. The two groups of electrodes 402 are electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply 401 respectively. The two groups of electrodes 402 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides and can move vertically toward the tableware body 901. The two groups of electrodes 402 are made of copper. The machine base 1 is provided with an avoidance groove 101 for the vertical movement of the two groups of electrodes 402. It is connected to the power supply 401 through the two electrodes 402. When current passes through stainless steel, heat will be generated due to the existence of resistance. The heat will accumulate inside the stainless steel, causing the temperature of the plug-in end of the tableware body 901 to continue to rise, thereby heating the tableware body 901. The vertical movement of the two groups of electrodes 402 improves the controllability of the heating of stainless steel tableware. The first placement seat 2 is made of insulating material, which reduces the possibility of current conduction after passing through the first placement seat 2 and the machine base 1, thereby improving the heating efficiency.

[0033] Among them, the heating component also includes two groups of pushing cylinders 403, the fixed ends of the pushing cylinders 403 are connected to the machine base 1, the pushing ends of the pushing cylinders 403 are insulated and connected to the electrode 402, and insulating materials are connected between the pushing ends of the pushing cylinders 403 and the electrode 402. The insulating materials are well-known solid insulating materials, such as ceramics, which improve the controllability and automation of the heating of the tableware body 901.

[0034] The heating assembly further comprises an elastic bracket 404, which is composed of a vertical portion 4041 and two groups of horizontal portions 4042 connected at both ends of the vertical portion 4041. The vertical portion 4041 is connected in the vertical direction of the base 1, and the two groups of horizontal portions 4042 are insulated and connected to the two groups of electrodes 402 respectively. The elastic bracket 404 is made of insulating material. By providing the elastic bracket 404, when the push cylinder 403 pushes the electrode 402 to move toward the plug-in end of the tableware body 901, it is necessary to overcome the elastic force of the elastic bracket 404. After the tableware body 901 is heated, the electrode 402 needs to be reset. The elastic bracket 404 provides a force to reset the electrode 402, so that the electrode 402 can return to its position quickly and quickly cut off the heating circuit to prevent the tableware body 901 from overheating. Secondly, when an abnormality occurs in the pushing cylinder 403 and the electrode 402 cannot be reset normally, the elastic bracket 404 can still separate the two groups of electrodes 402 from the tableware body 901 after elastic deformation, and cut off the heating circuit, thereby improving the safety of equipment operation and the safety protection level.

[0035] Among them, an arc portion 4043 is provided at the connection between the horizontal portion 4042 and the vertical portion 4041. By providing the arc portion 4043, the stress concentration during the deformation of the elastic bracket 404 is alleviated, the elastic bracket 404 is prevented from breaking after being compressed, the structural rigidity of the elastic bracket 404 is improved, and the stability and reliability of the use of the elastic bracket 404 are improved.

[0036] For better contact safety, when the tableware body 901 is placed on the first placement seat 2, the electrode 402 on the upper side is electrically connected to the positive electrode of the power supply 401, and the electrode 402 on the lower side is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the power supply 401. The distance between the electrode 402 on the upper side and the top wall of the tableware body 901 is A, and the distance between the electrode 402 on the lower side and the bottom wall of the tableware body 901 is B, A>B, and the stroke of the push rod end of the push cylinder 403 is C. When the formation of the push cylinder 403 is the same, the two groups of electrodes 402 are in contact with the tableware body 901. When touching, the tableware body 901 is connected to the negative pole first and then to the positive pole, avoiding sparks or arcs when the heating circuit is connected, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit of the heating component or damage to the equipment. Because there is a voltage difference between the positive and negative poles in the heating circuit, if the positive pole is connected first and then the negative pole, the current in the circuit will generate a momentary large current, which may burn the equipment or cause sparks. If the negative pole is connected first and then the positive pole, the current in the circuit will gradually increase, thereby reducing the possibility of generating large currents and sparks and improving the service life of the electrode 402.

[0037] The heating of the heating component is affected by the contact pressure between the electrode 402 and the tableware body 901. The higher the contact pressure, the smaller the resistance to the passage of current, thereby generating more heat and heating faster. CA = 0.1 ~ 0.3mm, so that when the two electrodes 402 contact the tableware body 901, the tableware body 901 is pressed tightly to improve the heating efficiency.

[0038] Among them, the first placing seat 2 is provided with a first groove 201 matching the shape of the cutlery body 901, and the first groove 201 is connected to a first slot 2011 on the side facing the second placing seat 3, and the plug-in end of the cutlery body 901 is exposed in the second slot 3011; the second placing seat 3 is provided with a second groove 301 matching the shape of the cutlery handle, and the second groove 301 is connected to a second slot 3011 on the side facing the first placing seat 2, and the plug-in end of the cutlery handle is flush with the second slot 3011. When the second placing seat 3 moves toward the first placing seat 2 to contact each other, the cutlery body 901 is inserted into the cutlery handle. It is worth mentioning that by controlling the length of the plug-in end of the cutlery body 901 exposed in the second slot 3011, the length of the cutlery body 901 inserted into the cutlery handle can be controlled, thereby improving the accuracy of stainless steel tableware assembly and improving the consistency of stainless steel tableware assembly quality.

[0039] Among them, the second placement seat 3 is provided with a cover plate 305, and the cover plate 305 is connected to the side of the second groove 301 away from the second notch 3011. The longitudinal length of the cover plate 305 is equal to 1 / 10 to 1 / 2 of the longitudinal length of the second groove 301, preferably 1 / 8. By providing the cover plate 305, when the second placement seat 3 moves toward the first placement seat 2, the cutlery handle is subjected to force and tends to move away from the second groove 301. The cover plate 305 provides downward pressure to press the cutlery handle into the second groove 301, thereby completing the insertion, improving the stability and reliability of stainless steel tableware processing, and improving the processing quality of stainless steel tableware. It should be noted that the longer the longitudinal length of the cover plate 305, the greater the downward pressure provided, and the worse the convenience of placing the cutlery handle in the second groove 301. Therefore, the appropriate length of the cover plate 305 is adjusted according to actual production needs.

[0040] When the cutlery body 901 is assembled with the cutlery handle, the cutlery handle is also affected by the movement away from the second groove 301, and the length of the cutlery body 901 is smaller than the cutlery handle, indicating that the method of providing downward pressure by providing a cover plate 305 on the first placement seat 2 will affect the convenience of placing the cutlery body 901. Therefore, it also includes a clamping member 5 and a clamping cylinder 501. The clamping cylinder 501 is connected to the machine base 1 and is used to push the clamping member 5 to move vertically toward the notch. The fixed end of the clamping cylinder 501 is connected to the machine base 1, and the movable end of the clamping cylinder 501 is connected to the clamping member 5. The clamping member 5 is made of polyurethane. The second placement seat 3 is provided with a cover plate 305 to overcome the force when the cutlery handle and the cutlery body 901 are inserted. On one side of the cutlery body 901, a clamping cylinder 501 is provided to push the clamping member 5 downward to provide downward pressure on the cutlery body 901, so that during assembly, the cutlery body 901 is stabilized in the first groove 201, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the cutlery assembly.

[0041] Among them, it also includes a longitudinal movement cylinder 302, which is connected to the machine base 1 and is used to push the second placement seat 3 to move longitudinally. The second placement seat 3 is assembled with the machine base 1 through the slide rail 304 and the slider 303. The fixed end of the longitudinal movement cylinder 302 is connected to the machine base 1, and the pushing end of the longitudinal movement cylinder 302 is connected to the second placement seat 3. The slider 303 is connected to the bottom of the second placement seat 3, and the sliding cabinet is connected to the machine base 1, so as to improve the smoothness of the longitudinal movement of the second placement seat 3 and improve the degree of automation of the longitudinal movement of the second placement seat 3.

[0042] It also includes a protective cover 6, which is insulated and connected to the electrode 402 on the upper side. When the two groups of electrodes 402 move toward the tableware body 901, the protective cover 6 moves down to cover the two groups of electrodes 402, and the pushing end of the push cylinder 403 is connected. The protective groove can effectively prevent the heating component from generating arcs and splashes to harm the operator. The protective cover 6 is made of well-known welding glasses lens materials, such as polycarbonate. Polycarbonate glasses also have good wear resistance and scratch resistance, which can keep the operator clearly see the heating status of the tableware body 901.

[0043] The machine also includes a touch screen 7, a processor, and a start switch 8. The touch screen 7 is used to display the operating status of the equipment. The start switch 8 is mounted on the machine base 1 and is used to issue operating instructions for the clamping cylinder 501 and the heating component. The processor is electrically connected to the longitudinal cylinder 302, the heating component, the clamping cylinder 501, the touch screen 7, and the start switch 8. The automation level of the stainless steel cutlery handle inserting machine is improved. The operator places the cutlery handle and the cutlery body 901 on the second placement seat 3 and the first placement seat 2 respectively, presses the start switch 8, and pushes the cylinder 403 to push the two The electrode 402 moves toward the plug-in end of the tableware body 901 to heat the plug-in end of the tableware body 901. At this time, the protective cover 6 descends together to cover the contact area between the tableware body 901 and the two electrodes 402. Then, the cylinder 403 is pushed to reset, so that the two electrodes 402 are away from the tableware body 901. The longitudinal movement cylinder 302 pushes the second placement seat 3 toward the first placement seat 2, so that the tableware handle is plugged into the tableware body 901. The operator takes out the assembled stainless tableware, and the longitudinal movement cylinder 302 is reset to drive the first placement seat 2 to reset.
