DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0029] Embodiment 1: As shown in the figure, a screw plug and gasket connecting device includes a small press 1, on which there is a punch rod 2 that can move up and down, and also includes,
[0030] a base 3, fixed on the small press 1, and an avoidance hole 4 is provided on the base 3;
[0031] The base 5 is fixed to the upper end of the base 3. A storage groove 6 for accommodating gaskets and a U-shaped groove 7 with an opening on one side are provided on the base 5. The U-shaped groove 7 is used for the plug to slide, and a working area 8 is provided in the U-shaped groove 7. The working area 8 is located directly above the avoidance hole 4 and is used for the punch rod 2 to extend into. A channel 9 for the gasket to move is provided between the storage groove 6 and the working area 8;
[0032] The push plate 10 is arranged on the small press 1 through a displacement mechanism 11 and is used to transfer the gasket located in the storage groove 6 to the working area 8.
[0033] The usage steps of this device are as follows:
[0034] 1. Preparation stage: Put a plurality of gaskets into the storage groove 6 on the base 5, and place the plug to be gasketed at one end of the U-shaped groove 7.
[0035] 2. Gasket feeding: The displacement mechanism 11 drives the push plate 10 to move towards the working area 8. The push plate 10 pushes the foremost gasket in the storage groove 6 to the working area 8 through the channel 9, and the push plate 10 returns to the initial position, waiting for the next action.
[0036] 3. Plug in place: The operator or automatic mechanism slides the plug along the U-shaped groove 7 until it reaches the working area 8. The plug stops in the working area 8, and its axis is aligned with the center of the gasket.
[0037] 4. Pressing process: The small press 1 drives the punch rod 2 to move downward. After contacting the plug, it continues to move downward, so that the rod body of the plug passes through the avoidance hole 4, and the gasket is sleeved on the plug.
[0038] 5. Reset preparation: The punch rod 2 rises back to the initial position, and the operator or automatic mechanism takes out the plug with the gasket strung on it from the other end of the U-shaped groove 7.
[0039] 6. Circular operation: Repeat steps 2-5 to continue gasketing the next plug.
[0040] Embodiment 2: As shown in the figure, different from Embodiment 1, the small press 1 has a tabletop 12, and a connecting mechanism 13 is provided between the base 3 and the tabletop 12.
[0041] The tabletop 12 of the small press 1 serves as the main working plane and is connected to the base 3 through the connecting mechanism 13. This design greatly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the entire device. The connecting mechanism 13 allows the position of the base 3 on the tabletop 12 to be adjusted, enabling the operator to optimize the working layout according to actual needs. This adjustability can not only accommodate workpieces of different sizes but also adjust the equipment layout according to the operator's habits or work processes, thereby improving work efficiency and comfort. In addition, this design also facilitates the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the equipment.
[0042] When it is necessary to repair the base 3 or replace the base 3 with different specifications, only the connecting mechanism 13 needs to be adjusted, without the need to make large-scale modifications to the entire press. This not only reduces the maintenance cost but also increases the service life of the equipment. At the same time, by selecting appropriate materials and designs for the connecting mechanism 13, vibration transmission can be reduced while ensuring stability, improving machining accuracy.
[0043] In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 13 includes a T-shaped nut 14 and a bolt 15. A plurality of T-shaped grooves 16 are provided on the tabletop 12. The T-shaped grooves 16 extend along the length or width direction of the tabletop 12. The T-shaped nut 14 is slidably fitted in the T-shaped groove 16. The bolt 15 is installed on the base 3, and after passing through the base 3, the bolt 15 is threadedly connected to the T-shaped nut 14, thereby fixing the base 3 on the tabletop 12.
[0044] In the above structure, the T-shaped grooves 16 extending along the length or width direction on the tabletop 12 provide a wide space for adjustment, enabling the base 3 to be freely positioned in the two-dimensional plane. The T-shaped nut 14 slides neatly into the T-shaped groove 16, which not only provides a firm fixing point but also allows free sliding in the groove to achieve stepless adjustment. The bolt 15 passes through the base 3 and is threadedly connected to the T-shaped nut 14, which not only plays a fastening role but also facilitates quick disassembly and assembly.
[0045] The advantages of this design are prominent: First, it provides great flexibility. The operator can precisely adjust the position of the base 3 according to needs to accommodate workpieces of different sizes or optimize the working layout. Second, the installation and disassembly processes are simple and fast. Only by loosening the bolt 15 can the position be adjusted or the base 3 be completely removed, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency and modularity of the equipment. Third, the design of the T-shaped grooves 16 allows multiple components to be fixed simultaneously, leaving room for future expansion or addition of auxiliary equipment.
[0046] In this embodiment, there are at least two T-shaped grooves 16, and they are arranged in parallel with each other.
[0047] In the above structure, at least two mutually parallel T-shaped grooves 16 are provided on the tabletop 12. This design greatly enhances the functionality and stability of the entire connection system. The multiple parallel T-shaped grooves 16 provide more choices for fixing points, making the installation positions of the base 3 or other accessories more flexible. They can be precisely adjusted according to workpieces of different sizes or specific working requirements. By simultaneously using multiple T-nuts 14 and bolts 15 in different T-shaped grooves 16, the pressure can be more evenly distributed, significantly improving the stability and torsional resistance of the entire device.
[0048] Embodiment 3: As shown in the figure, different from Embodiment 2, the displacement mechanism 11 is one of an electromagnetic drive mechanism, a pneumatic drive mechanism, or a mechanical drive mechanism.
[0049] In the above structure, the electromagnetic drive mechanism has the advantages of rapid response and precise control, and is suitable for occasions that require frequent and rapid actions. At the same time, it has low noise and is suitable for workplaces with high environmental requirements; the pneumatic drive mechanism is known for its simplicity, reliability, large force, good heat dissipation, etc., and is especially suitable for use in harsh environments such as high temperature and dusty conditions, and has good explosion-proof performance; mechanical drive mechanisms such as cams and linkages have simple structures and are easy to maintain, and are suitable for occasions with fixed actions and not extremely high precision requirements; this diverse selection enables users to choose the most suitable drive method according to the specific application environment, performance requirements, and cost budget, greatly improving the versatility and economy of the equipment. At the same time, this design also facilitates future upgrades and transformations. Users can optimize the equipment performance or adapt to new working requirements by replacing the drive mechanism without significantly changing the overall structure.
[0050] In this embodiment, the displacement mechanism 11 includes
[0051] a cylinder 17, fixedly arranged on the base 3;
[0052] a piston rod 18, connected to the cylinder 17 and capable of reciprocating within the cylinder 17;
[0053] a connecting member 19, with one end fixedly connected to the piston rod 18 and the other end fixedly connected to the push plate 10.
[0054] In the design of the specific pneumatic drive mechanism, a combination of a cylinder 17, a piston rod 18, and a connecting member 19 is adopted. The pneumatic system has a rapid response and can achieve fast and frequent reciprocating motions, improving work efficiency. The cylinder 17 is fixed on the base 3, providing a stable foundation for the entire drive system. The piston rod 18 is connected to the cylinder 17 and can reciprocate within the cylinder 17. This design directly converts pneumatic energy into linear motion, with high efficiency and direct action. One end of the connecting member 19 is fixed to the piston rod 18, and the other end is connected to the push plate 10, thereby transmitting the motion of the cylinder 17 to the push plate 10 and achieving precise control of the push plate 10.
[0055] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped mating groove 20 is provided on the end face of the push plate 10. The shape of the arc-shaped mating groove 20 is adapted to the outer shape of the gasket. A limiting gap for restricting the movement stroke of the push plate 10 is left between the base 3 and the pedestal 5.
[0056] The matching design of the arc-shaped mating groove 20 with the outer shape of the gasket ensures the maximum contact area between the push plate 10 and the gasket. This not only improves the stability of pushing but also greatly reduces the risk of the gasket shifting or flipping during the conveying process. Additionally, the arc-shaped design has an automatic centering effect. Even if the initial position of the gasket is slightly deviated, it can be automatically adjusted to the correct position during the pushing process. More importantly, it can continue to maintain pressure after pushing the gasket in place, ensuring the stability of the gasket during the gasket stacking process. After the push plate retracts, a new gasket can quickly fall into the arc-shaped mating groove 20, achieving efficient continuous operation.
[0057] The limiting gap provides a clearly defined movement range for the push plate 10, ensuring that the push plate always remains within the preset safe and effective area during operation and preventing processing failures that may be caused by excessive stroke. Secondly, this limiting design helps to improve the accuracy and repeatability of the entire system because each movement of the push plate 10 is restricted within the same range, thereby ensuring that the gasket is pushed to exactly the same position.
[0058] A guiding groove 21 is provided on the upper surface of the push plate 10, and guiding columns that cooperate with the guiding groove 21 are provided within the pedestal 5. The guiding columns are located within the guiding groove 21.
[0059] This design ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the push plate 10 during movement. When the push plate 10 moves along a predetermined path under the drive of the displacement mechanism, the sliding of the guiding columns within the guiding groove 21 plays a guiding and limiting role, preventing the push plate from skewing or wobbling during the movement process, thereby ensuring that the gasket is accurately pushed to the working area 8.
[0060] The above are only the embodiments of the present application, and do not thus limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be similarly included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
