[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of screw forming machines, and particularly relates to an anti-idling device for a screw forming machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, when the main equipment power supply of a screw forming machine is turned on, the clutch is opened, and then the main motor, the oil pump motor, and the fan motor will automatically start running. However, at this stage, the machine does not start producing screws, and the main motor, the oil pump motor, and the fan motor are in an idling state, resulting in a waste of electricity. At the same time, when the machine has a problem and reports an error, the clutch will close, and the machine will automatically stop producing screws, but the main motor, the oil pump motor, and the fan motor are still in an idling state and cannot stop automatically. It needs to be manually turned off, which will also increase the electricity cost. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] On the basis of the above solution and as the preferred solution of the above solution: the main control module includes a feeding detection unit, a clutch state detection unit, and a motor control unit. The feeding detection unit is used to receive the detection signals of the first photoelectric sensor and the counting sensor; the clutch state detection unit is used to receive the detection signal of the action detection sensor, and the motor control unit is used to control the on and off of the three relays.

[0007] On the basis of the above solution and as the preferred solution of the above solution: the first photoelectric sensor at the feeding port is used to detect the feeding situation at the feeding port and send the feeding situation to the main control module.

[0009] On the basis of the above solution and as a preferred solution of the above solution: The action detection sensor is used to detect the opening and closing actions of the clutch and send the opening and closing conditions to the main control module.

[0010] When the power supply of the main device is turned on, the clutch starts. When the action detection sensor does not detect the opening and closing actions of the clutch, or the first photoelectric sensor and the counting sensor do not detect the feeding of materials, it means that the machine does not start producing screws. At this time, the main control module will control the relay to disconnect, and the main motor, oil pump motor, and fan motor will still be in the stopped state; when the first photoelectric sensor and the counting sensor detect the feeding of materials and the clutch has opening and closing actions, it means that the machine is about to start producing screws, and the main control module will control the relay to close, and the main motor, oil pump motor, and fan motor will start working.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present utility model, the meanings of "several" and "a number of" are two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0016] Refer to the attached drawings. The anti-idling device for a screw forming machine in this embodiment includes a main control module, a clutch, a main motor, an oil pump motor, a fan motor, and a feeding mechanism; at the feeding port of the feeding mechanism, there are a first photoelectric sensor and a counting sensor. The first photoelectric sensor at the feeding port is used to detect the feeding situation at the feeding port and send the feeding situation to the main control module. The counting sensor at the feeding port is used to detect the feeding quantity at the feeding port and send the feeding quantity to the main control module.

[0017] An action detection sensor is provided on the clutch; the action detection sensor is used to detect the opening and closing actions of the clutch and send the opening and closing situation to the main control module.

[0018] The main motor, the oil pump motor, and the fan motor are each connected to the main power supply of the equipment through a relay, and the relay is controlled by the main control module to be turned on and off.

[0019] The main control module includes a feeding detection unit, a clutch state detection unit, and a motor control unit. The feeding detection unit is used to receive the detection signals from the first photoelectric sensor and the counting sensor; the clutch state detection unit is used to receive the detection signal from the action detection sensor, and the motor control unit is used to control the on and off of the three relays, and control the start and stop of the main motor, the oil pump motor, and the fan motor through the three relays.

[0020] When the main equipment power supply is turned on, the clutch starts. When the action detection sensor does not detect the opening and closing actions of the clutch, or the first photoelectric sensor and the counting sensor do not detect the feeding of materials, it means that the machine is not starting to produce screws. At this time, the main control module will control the relay to disconnect, and the main motor, the oil pump motor, and the fan motor will still be in the stopped state; when the first photoelectric sensor and the counting sensor detect the feeding of materials and the clutch has opening and closing actions, it means that the machine is about to start producing screws, and the main control module will control the relay to close, and the main motor, the oil pump motor, and the fan motor will start to work.

[0021] Assume that the equipment has 1 hour of idling time per day, and the total power consumption of all screw forming machines in the factory per hour is 178 degrees. Then the electricity cost that can be saved is: 178 degrees / hour * 30 days * 0.85 yuan = 4539 yuan per month. Therefore, after improving the existing screw forming machines, a large amount of electricity cost can be saved and the production cost can be reduced.

[0022] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the concept of the present utility model belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
