Specific embodiments

[0030] Next, in combination with the embodiments of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0031] Embodiment:

[0032] As Figures 1 to 11As shown in the figure, a saxophone body punching device includes a machine base 1 and a vertical plate 5. On the left side of the upper end surface of the machine base 1, a vertical plate 5 is fixedly installed. At the lower part of the right end surface of the vertical plate 5, a tube body punching die 2 is fixedly connected. On the upper side of the right end surface of the vertical plate 5, a fixed bracket 7 is fixedly installed. Inside the fixed bracket 7, a threaded lead screw 14 is assembled. On the upper and lower sides of the threaded lead screw 14, guide slide rods 13 are symmetrically arranged. On the left side of the vertical plate 5, a driving motor 6 is assembled, and the output end of the driving motor 6 is fixedly connected to the left end of the threaded lead screw 14. A slide plate 12 is assembled on the threaded lead screw 14 by screw thread engagement, and the slide plate 12 is sleeved on the guide slide rod 13 and is slidably connected thereto. On the front side of the slide plate 12, a transmission box 9 is assembled by bolts. Inside the upper side of the transmission box 9, a driving shaft 18 is longitudinally assembled. At the rear side of the transmission box 9, a reduction motor 8 is installed, and the output end of the reduction motor 8 is fixedly connected to the driving shaft 18. A cam 17 is assembled on the driving shaft 18. Inside the lower side of the transmission box 9, a limit sleeve 22 is provided. Inside the limit sleeve 22, a push rod 21 that can move up and down is assembled. A first return spring 20 is sleeved on the outer surface of the push rod 21. The upper end of the push rod 21 is fixedly connected to a guide post 19. A tool changing rack 10 is fixedly installed at the lower side of the transmission box 9. This design solves the problems in the prior art that when using a punching machine, it is necessary to manually position the saxophone body and manually adjust the position of the saxophone body for punching operations at different positions, which is difficult to ensure the consistency and accuracy of punching. Moreover, for sound holes with different diameters, it is necessary to manually replace different drill bits, and the operation is not convenient enough, affecting the punching efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, the tube body punching die 2 has a conical structure, and its left end diameter is larger than the right end diameter. The conical design can adapt to the support and fixation of the saxophone body on it, ensuring its stability during punching. The inside of the tube body punching die 2 is a hollow structure, providing sufficient accommodation space for the waste generated during punching, for temporarily storing the waste generated by punching. On the upper side of the outer surface of the tube body punching die 2, a plurality of groups of positioning holes 11 with diameters gradually decreasing from left to right are evenly arranged. Through the arranged positioning holes 11, the punching of the saxophone body can be positioned, facilitating the punching of the saxophone body, and at the same time, it can meet the punching requirements of sound holes with different diameters on the saxophone body.

[0034] In this embodiment, a discharge port 4 is opened inside the vertical plate 5, and the position of the discharge port 4 corresponds to the internal cavity of the tube body punching die 2. On the machine base 1 on the left side of the vertical plate 5, a waste box 3 is provided, and the waste box 3 is located below the discharge port 4. This design ensures that the waste generated during the punching process can smoothly discharge from the inside of the punching die through the arranged discharge port 4, preventing the waste from accumulating inside the tube body punching die 2 and causing blockage. At the same time, the waste discharged from the discharge port 4 can directly fall into the waste box 3, and the waste box 3 collects the punching waste, avoiding the scattering of the waste and facilitating the subsequent treatment of the waste.

[0035] In this embodiment, a stud 15 is fixedly installed at the right end of the tube body punching die 2, and a retaining disc 16 is threadedly connected to the stud 15. This design plays a positioning role for the saxophone tube body through the set stud 15 and retaining disc 16. The retaining disc 16 can clamp and fix the saxophone tube body from the right side, so that it is fixed on the tube body punching die 2 and remains stable.

[0036] In this embodiment, a rotatable roller 23 is assembled inside the upper end of the guide post 19, and the surface of the roller 23 is in contact connection with the surface of the cam 17. By setting the roller 23, the sliding friction is transformed into rolling friction. The resistance of rolling friction is much smaller than that of sliding friction, which can reduce the friction between the guide post 19 and the cam 17, significantly reduce energy loss and component wear, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0037] In this embodiment, the tool changer 10 includes a connecting hanging rod 101 and a tool disc 102. The tool disc 102 is rotatably sleeved on the connecting hanging rod 101. The upper end of the connecting hanging rod 101 is fixedly connected to the transmission box 9. A plurality of sets of punching head holes 104 with different diameters are evenly formed inside the tool disc 102. Punching heads 103 are correspondingly arranged in the plurality of sets of punching head holes 104 one by one, and the specifications of the punching heads 103 are adapted to the specifications of the positioning holes 11. A connecting piece 106 is arranged on the inner side of the circumferential surface of the punching head 103. The connecting piece 106 is sleeved on the retaining rod 105, and the lower end of the retaining rod 105 is fixedly connected to the tool disc 102. A second return spring 107 is sleeved on the retaining rod 105 below the connecting piece 106. By setting the tool changer 10, it is convenient to replace punching heads 103 with different specifications to punch holes in different specifications of positioning holes 11. The operator does not need to manually replace the drill bit, and only needs to gently rotate the tool disc 102 to select a suitable punching head 103 for punching, which improves the punching efficiency and operation convenience.

[0038] In this embodiment, a sliding sleeve 108 is fixedly installed below the tool disc 102, and the sliding sleeve 108 is sleeved on the connecting hanging rod 101. A support spring 109 is embedded inside the sliding sleeve 108, and movable balls 1010 are embedded at the outer ends of the support spring 109. There are multiple groups of balls 1010 and the number is the same as the number of punching heads 103. Arc-shaped grooves 1011 are formed at the corresponding positions on the connecting hanging rod 101 for the balls 1010. This design can realize the rotational connection between the tool disc 102 and the connecting hanging rod 101 through the sliding sleeve 108, which is convenient for rotating and adjusting the tool disc 102. Through the cooperation of the balls 1010 and the grooves 1011, the tool disc 102 can be accurately positioned during rotation and fixed in the current position, so that the punching heads 103 on the tool disc 102 can correspond to the positioning holes 11, thereby improving the punching accuracy and consistency.

[0039] The working principle of this saxophone body punching device: In actual application, first, the saxophone body is sleeved on the body punching die 2, and the saxophone body is supported by the body punching die 2. Then, the retaining plate 16 is screwed onto the stud 15 by thread and tightened. Through the cooperation of the stud 15 and the retaining plate 16, the saxophone body is clamped and fixed from the right side to ensure its stability during the punching process. On the upper side of the circumferential surface of the body punching die 2, a plurality of groups of positioning holes 11 with diameters gradually decreasing from left to right are evenly arranged for positioning the punching of the saxophone body. The operator can punch holes at different positioning holes 11 according to needs. Then, the driving motor 6 is started, and the driving motor 6 drives the threaded lead screw 14 to rotate, thereby driving the slide plate 12 to translate. The slide plate 12 drives the transmission box 9 and the punching head 103 to move, so that the punching cylinder is aligned with the positioning hole 11 on the body punching die 2. The reduction motor 8 is started, and the reduction motor 8 drives the cam 17 to rotate. When the cam 17 rotates, it pushes the guide post 19 to move downward, and the guide post 19 pushes the push rod 21 to move downward. The push rod 21 pushes the punching head 103 on the tool change rack 10 to move downward, and the punching of the saxophone body is realized through the downward pressing action of the punching head 103;

[0040] The waste generated during the punching process falls into the cavity inside the body punching die 2 and falls into the waste box 3 through the discharge port 4. The waste box 3 is used to collect the punching waste, avoiding the scattering of the waste and facilitating the later treatment;

[0041] When it is necessary to replace the punching heads 103 of different specifications, the operator can gently rotate the tool disc 102 to rotate the required punching head 103 to directly below the push rod 21 and correspond to the positioning hole 11. The sliding sleeve 108 and the ball 1010 on the lower side of the tool disc 102 cooperate with the card slot 1011 on the connecting hanging rod 101 to realize the precise positioning and fixation of the tool disc 102.

[0042] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are only examples for clearly explaining the present invention, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to list all the implementation manners here. All obvious changes or variations derived from the technical solutions of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
