[0002] In modern manufacturing, nut tapping is a basic and critical process. Traditional tapping machines generally have several problems, including low automation, manual intervention, low tapping efficiency and high defect rate. These problems are mainly due to the design and functional limitations of traditional tapping equipment.

[0003] Traditional tapping machines generally use a single-station operation and can only process one nut at a time. The operator needs to manually place the nut and manually remove it after the tapping is completed, which not only consumes a lot of manpower but also greatly reduces production efficiency. In addition, due to the lack of an effective automatic detection and control mechanism, the nuts are prone to misoperation or improper equipment adjustment during the tapping process, resulting in a high defective rate of finished nuts. These defective products are not identified and removed in time, and often require additional quality inspection processes, increasing production costs and time. Utility Model Content

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a four-axis CNC through-type nut 38 tapping machine of the utility model comprises a chassis 1, a control system is installed inside the chassis 1, and a working table 5 for processing nuts 38 is provided on the upper end surface of the chassis 1;

[0040] More than one nut 38 tapping mechanism 3, wherein the more than one nut 38 tapping mechanism 3 is installed side by side on the work surface 5, and the more than one nut 38 tapping mechanism 3 is used to automatically tap multiple nuts 38 at the same time;

[0041] A feeding system, installed at the top of the work surface 5 of the chassis 1, for continuously feeding the nut 38 to the tapping mechanism 3 of each nut 38;

[0042] The material collection system is installed at the discharging end of one or more nut 38 tapping mechanisms 3 and is used to collect the finished nuts 38 after tapping.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each nut 38 tapping mechanism 3 includes:

[0044] Servo screw 45 driving mechanism;

[0045] A mounting plate 44 is slidably mounted on the servo screw 45 driving mechanism;

[0046] The cylinder 32 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 44, and a driving head 40 is mounted on the cylinder 32 rod of the cylinder 32;

[0047] Two clamping jaws 35, the middle position of the two clamping jaws 35 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 44 through an axle pin 36, and a clamping end is formed on the side of the clamping jaws 35 away from the cylinder 32, and a driving end is formed on the side close to the cylinder 32, and the driving head 40 is located at the driving end of the two clamping jaws 35;

[0048] The end surface positioning block 39 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 44, and the end surface positioning block 39 is arranged on a side close to the clamping end of the clamping jaw 35;

[0049] The two sides of the nut 38 are clamped by the clamping jaws 35, and one end face of the nut 38 is positioned and supported by the end face positioning block 39;

[0050] The tapping head 100 is arranged facing the vertical nut 38 , and the tapping head 100 is controlled by a tapping drive system to automatically tap the clamped nut 38 .

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the clamping ends of the clamping jaws 35 respectively form a clamping positioning cavity 37. When the two clamping jaws 35 are clamped, the nut 38 is located in the clamping positioning cavity 37 between the two clamping jaws 35 and clamped.

[0052] A fixing rod 43 is disposed on the top of the driving end of each of the two clamping jaws 35 , a tension spring 33 is disposed between the two fixing rods 43 , and both sides of the tension spring 33 are respectively connected to the fixing rod 43 , so that the clamping jaws 35 are automatically opened by the tension spring 33 .

[0053] A driving contact rod 34 is also provided on one side of the driving end of the two clamping jaws 35 . The head of the driving contact rod 34 is spherical. There is an inclined contact surface 42 on both sides of the driving head 40 . The head of the driving contact rod 34 contacts the inclined contact surface 42 .

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the servo screw 45 driving mechanism includes:

[0055] Two guide rails 41 are fixedly mounted on the work surface 5. A slider is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 44 corresponding to the position of the guide rail 41. The slider is slidably mounted on the guide rail 41.

[0056] The lead screw 45 is mounted on the output end of the servo motor 31 . A nut 38 is disposed at the bottom of the mounting plate 44 , and the nut 38 is mounted on the lead screw 45 .

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, an avoidance hole is provided on one side of the nut 38 hole of the end face positioning block 39 corresponding to the nut 38. When the tapping head 100 taps the nut 38, the tapping head 100 extends into the avoidance hole.

[0058] The end face positioning block 39 has a chip removal groove 46 therein, and the bottom of the chip removal groove 46 is open for discharging waste after tapping.

[0059] like Figure 1As shown, the feeding system includes a plurality of vibrating loading trays 2, in which the nuts 38 to be processed are placed, and also includes a discharge rack 4, in which a feeding channel is provided, and the nuts 38 to be processed are transported to the nut 38 tapping mechanism 3 through the feeding channel for clamping processing;

[0060] The feed port end of the feed channel corresponds to the discharge port of the vibrating loading plate 2 , and the discharge port end of the feed channel faces the clamping port position of the nut 38 tapping mechanism 3 .

[0061] When feeding is required, the nut 38 is placed in the vibrating feeding plate 2, and the material is fed by vibration. The material enters the clamping port of the nut 38 tapping mechanism 3 through the feeding channel. At this time, the cylinder 32 is ejected, driving the driving head 40 to be ejected. The driving head 40 uses the inclined contact surfaces 42 on both sides to squeeze the driving contact rod 34 with a ball head, so that the driving ends of the two clamping jaws 35 will be stretched outward, and the clamping ends of the clamping jaws 35 can clamp the nut 38 located at the clamping port. At this time, as long as the cylinder 32 remains in the ejected state, the clamping action of the clamping jaws 35 can be realized;

[0062] At this time, the tapping head 100 moves toward the nut 38 to be processed, and the tapping head 100 is used to complete the tapping action of the nut 38. After the tapping is completed, the tapping head 100 retreats, and the debris in the tapping process is discharged to the outside through the chip groove 46. After the tapping is completed, the tapping head 100 retreats, and then the cylinder 32 is controlled to retract. Under the action of the tension spring 33, the two jaws 35 open, the nut 38 falls, the new nut 38 to be processed is dropped, and the jaws 35 are clamped, and the processing is repeated in this way.

[0063] The system control part, the system of the utility model uses CNC technology to control the nut 38 to automatically fall into the storage box at the rear after tapping is completed. The control mechanism is designed based on the pitch and tooth height of the thread. Taking the bolt specification as an example, mn8*1.25mn, when the screw rotates 180 degrees, it corresponds to a tooth height of 1.25mm, which is suitable for a nut 38 with a diameter of 8mm and a pitch of 1.25mm.

[0064] The system automatically identifies the torque value after completion through preset parameters. Assuming that the torque exceeds 30 Nm, the nut 38 will be automatically determined as a defective product. The system records and identifies which nuts 38 are defective products, and then screens and removes them, which not only improves production efficiency, but also ensures product quality standards through precise control and screening mechanisms. The technical solution of the system control part is not specifically described in this embodiment;

[0065] The utility model mainly adopts a multi-station automatic tapping mechanism, which can perform tapping operations on multiple nuts 38 at the same time. This through-type design combined with an automatic feeding and receiving system greatly improves the operating speed and continuous production capacity of the nut 38 tapping. Compared with traditional single-station tapping equipment, this device significantly enhances the efficiency of the production line by reducing the need for manual operation and improving the parallel processing capacity of tapping.

[0066] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope defined in the claims.
