Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of machining, in particular to a pen tube end face milling machine. Background Art
[0002] A touch pen is an auxiliary tool that facilitates users to use electronic devices. Generally, it includes a pen tube, a contact head and internal electronic components, wherein the contact head is installed at the tip of the pen tube. The pen tube is generally an injection molded part. During production, a sprue will be left at the end opposite to the tip. Therefore, the circumferential surface of one end of the pen tube opposite to the tip needs to be milled to remove the sprue and process corresponding structures to install or adapt other accessories (as Figure 8 shown, the pen tube 200 is the product before processing, and the pen tube 200' is the product after processing. The end to be processed is 201, the sprue is 202, and the end to be processed 201 becomes the finished end 201' after processing). However, the wall thickness of the circumferential surface of the pen tube is small and it is easy to deform. Therefore, when using a traditional numerical control lathe to mill the circumferential surface, when the milling feed rate is small during milling, although a high yield rate can be guaranteed, the production efficiency is low; when the milling feed rate is large during milling, the pen tube often becomes scrapped and the yield rate is low.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a pen tube end face milling machine to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a pen tube end face milling machine, which can ensure both a high yield rate and a high production efficiency when machining the end face of the pen tube.

[0024] Next, in combination with specific embodiments and the drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described, and the technical solutions of the present invention will be elaborated. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.
[0025] Please refer toFigures 1 to 4 and Figures 7 to 8 , the end face milling machine 100 provided by the utility model includes a milling cutter (not shown in the figure), a mounting seat 1, a receiving table 2, a first positioning member 3 and a supporting member 4; the receiving table 2 is fixedly arranged on the mounting seat 1, and a receiving cavity 20 with a vertical central axis is arranged on the receiving table 2 to vertically receive most of the tube body between the two ends of the pen tube 200, and the to-be-processed end 201 and the water inlet 202 of the pen tube 200 are exposed outside the receiving table 2. The first positioning member 3 is slidably arranged on the mounting seat 1, and the first positioning member 3 can abut against the receiving table 2, so as to position the to-be-processed end 201 of the pen tube 200 between the receiving table 2 and the first positioning member 3; in order to make the first positioning member 3 stably abut against the receiving table 2, a supporting step 2A is further arranged at the abutting position of the receiving table 2 and the first positioning member 3, and the supporting step 2A can support and position one end of the first positioning member 3 facing the receiving table 2, improving the reliability of use. The supporting member 4 can be inserted into the pen tube 200 to support the circumferential wall of the to-be-processed end 201 of the pen tube 200; the milling cutter is suspended above the receiving table 2 and can move relative to the mounting seat 1 for processing the to-be-processed end 201 of the pen tube 200. In this embodiment, one end of the supporting member 4 extending into the pen tube 200 is conical and made of a flexible material, so that it can be closely matched with the to-be-processed end 201 of the pen tube 200. Such a setting facilitates the full contact between the supporting member 4 and the circumferential inner wall of the to-be-processed end 201 of the pen tube 200 to fully support its circumferential wall to improve the stiffness of the circumferential wall. The milling cutter can be a common one that can meet the milling processing of the pen tube 200, and the movement of the milling cutter is completed by a common three-axis workbench.
[0026] Further, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 and Figures 5 to 6 , the receiving table 2 has a first positioning groove 21 for positioning the to-be-processed end 201 of the pen tube 200; a second positioning groove 31 that can cooperate with the first positioning groove 21 to surround and circumferentially lock the circumferential wall of the to-be-processed end 201 of the pen tube 200 is further arranged on the first positioning member 3. Such a setting can position the to-be-processed end 201 of the pen tube 200 and avoid relative rotation during processing.

[0030] For further information, please refer to Figures 1 to 4, a bracket 5 is further provided between the first positioning member 3 and the mounting base 1, and the first positioning member 3 is slidably disposed on the bracket 5. Specifically, the bracket 5 includes a support plate 51 and a plurality of support columns 52. One end of the plurality of support columns 52 is connected to the mounting base 1, and the other end is connected to the support plate 51. A slider 35 is further provided at one end of the first positioning member 3 facing the bracket 5, and a slide rail 53 cooperating with the slider 35 is further provided on the support plate 51 of the bracket 5.

Then, the driving mechanism 6 is started to drive the first positioning member 3 to slide towards the accommodating table 2 and abut against the accommodating table 2, so as to position and lock the pen tube 200. Then, the three-axis workbench is started to drive the milling cutter to perform milling processing on the to-be-processed end 201 of the pen tube 200 according to a preset program. After the processing is completed, the driving mechanism 6 is used to drive the first positioning member 3 to slide away from the accommodating table 2, and the processed pen tube 200 is taken out, that is, the processing of the pen tube 200 is completed.
[0033] Compared with the prior art, the end face milling machine 100 for pen tubes provided by the present utility model accommodates the pen tube 200 by arranging the accommodating table 2 on the mounting base 1, and slidably arranges the first positioning member 3 on the mounting base 1, so that the first positioning member 3 can abut against one end of the to-be-machined end 201 of the pen tube 200 accommodated by the accommodating table 2, thereby positioning the to-be-machined end 201 of the pen tube 200 between the accommodating table 2 and the first positioning member 3.
