Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of processing equipment, and in particular to a material clamping tool and a tapping device thereof. Background Art

[0002] In traditional stamping parts processing, placing finished stamping parts in a clamping fixture and coordinating them with tapping equipment often presents a series of challenges. For one thing, existing clamping fixtures often lack effective structures to organize the stacked finished stamping parts. This means that in practice, when stacking finished stamping parts within a rack, operators often drop them one by one through the opening of the rack. Gravity forces the finished parts to fall to the bottom of the rack, and the operator repeats the above steps to complete the stacking of the finished stamping parts within the rack.

[0003] However, the above stacking method easily causes the finished stamping parts to fall apart during the falling process. This irregular stacking not only affects the stability of the processing process, but may also cause the finished stamping parts to get stuck during the falling process, seriously reducing the processing efficiency. At the same time, due to the lack of a suitable regular structure, during the use of the clamping tooling, the operator needs to frequently adjust the position of the finished stamping parts to ensure that they can smoothly enter the tapping equipment for processing. This not only increases the workload of the operator, but also wastes a lot of time, further reducing the operating efficiency of the tapping equipment. Utility Model Content

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0030] The terms "comprises" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product or apparatus.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 The present application provides a material clamping tool 1, which is used for placing stamping parts 3, and the material clamping tool 1 is used to connect with the main part of the tapping equipment 2, and the material clamping tool 1 includes: a material rack body 10, the material rack body 10 is provided with an inlet end 11 and an outlet end 12, and the outlet end 12 is connected to the main part of the tapping equipment 2; a guide frame 20, a plurality of stamping parts 3 are connected to the guide frame 20 in a movably manner, and a plurality of stamping parts 3 are stacked on the guide frame 20; wherein the guide frame 20 enters from the inlet end 11, and the guide frame 20 is flipped to be inverted on the material rack body 10, and along the direction of gravity, a plurality of stamping parts 3 move toward the outlet end 12 in sequence.

[0032] Among them, different from the clamping tool 1 in the related art, the clamping tool 1 in the present application document is additionally provided with a guide frame 20, which plays a regular role in the stacked stamping parts 3. Before the guide frame 20 is assembled to the material rack body 10, multiple stamping parts 3 can be stacked and connected with the guide frame 20 in sequence, for example Figure 3 As shown, the guide frame 20 is placed upright at this time. When multiple stamping parts 3 are stacked on the guide frame 20, the guide frame 20 can be flipped onto the material rack body 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the guiding effect of the guide frame 20 ensures that the stacking of the finished stamping parts 3 in the material rack body 10 will not be staggered, thereby improving the regularity of the multiple finished stamping parts 3 in the material rack body 10. At the same time, preferably, after the guide frame 20 is loaded into the material rack body 10, the finished stamping parts 3 escape from the guide frame 20 under the action of gravity. At this time, the guide frame 20 can be taken out, and the stacking of the finished stamping parts 3 on the guide frame 20 can be repeated, thereby not affecting the continuous operation of the tapping equipment 2 and ensuring the operating efficiency of the tapping equipment 2.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the guide frame 20 includes: a base 21 and a guide rod 22, the guide rod 22 is connected to the base 21, before the guide frame 20 is installed with the rack body 10, the guide rod 22 extends upward along the direction of gravity, and a plurality of stamping finished products 3 are sequentially sleeved on the guide rod 22, and fall along the guide rod 22 to the base 21 position and are stacked in sequence; wherein, after the guide frame 20 is installed with the rack body 10, the guide rod 22 extends downward along the direction of gravity, and a plurality of stamping finished products 3 are sequentially detached along the guide rod 22 to be moved out from the outlet end 12.

[0034] As another preferred embodiment, a plurality of guide rods 22 are provided, and the plurality of guide rods 22 are located on the base 21 and arranged parallel to each other.

[0035] It should be noted that in the specific structure of the guide frame 20, the base 21 is composed of two bottom plates to improve the supporting strength of the base 21, and the number of guide rods 22 is matched with the number of openings of the stamping part 3. Preferably, the stamping part 3 in this embodiment is a workpiece with two holes and the side walls are both arc-shaped, and then there are two guide rods 22 in this embodiment. Similarly, the diameters of the two guide rods 22 are set to correspond to the opening diameters of the stamping part 3 to reduce the degree of shaking when the stamping part 3 is stacked on the guide frame 20, and improve the stability of the stamping part 3 stacked on the guide frame 20.

[0036] For further optimization, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The rack body 10 is provided with a visible slot 23 along the extending direction of the guide frame 20 . At the same time, a guide opening 24 is provided at the upper end of the visible slot 23 . The guide opening 24 is preferably provided at the inlet end 11 .

[0037] Among them, the setting of the visual slot 23 facilitates timely observation of the status of the finished stamping part 3 in the material rack body 10. If the finished stamping part 3 is stuck or tilted in the material rack body 10, the operator can immediately see it from the visual slot 23 and make timely adjustments. At the same time, the top position of the visual slot 23, that is, the inlet end 11 of the material rack body 10, is provided with a guide opening 24. The side walls of the guide opening 24 are inclined, thereby making the guide opening 24 trapezoidal. The opening size of the guide opening 24 gradually shrinks inward, making it easier for the finished stamping part 3 to be placed in the material rack body 10.

[0038] At the same time, in order to achieve the above purpose, see Figure 1 、 Figures 5 to 7The present application also provides a tapping device 2, a base 30, a pushing mechanism 40, a picking mechanism 50, a tapping mechanism 60 and a clamping tool 1 as any one of the above items, the clamping tool 1 is used to load the stamping product 3, the pushing mechanism 40, the clamping tool 1, and the picking mechanism 50 are all connected to the base 30, and are arranged in sequence on the track 31 provided on the base 30; wherein the tapping mechanism 60 is externally connected to the circuit to drive the operation, the stamping product 3 falls into the track 31 by the clamping tool 1, the pushing mechanism 40 pushes the stamping product 3 to the position of the tapping mechanism 60 for tapping, and after the tapping is completed, the picking mechanism 50 completes the collection of the stamping product 3.

[0039] Furthermore, the pushing mechanism 40 includes: a first cylinder 41 and a contoured side pushing end 42. The first cylinder 41 extends a pushing rod connected to the contoured side pushing end 42. The contoured side pushing end 42 fits tightly with the side of the stamping part 3 to be pushed. The first cylinder 41 cooperates with the contoured side pushing end 42 to push the stamping part 3 to the position of the tapping mechanism 60 for tapping.

[0040] Furthermore, the picking mechanism 50 includes: a second cylinder 51 and a hook member 52. The second cylinder 51 extends a push rod connected to the hook member 52. One end of the hook of the hook member 52 is used to abut against the side wall of the stamping part 3 after tapping is completed. The push rod of the second cylinder 51 is extended and retracted to hook the stamping part 3 off the track 31 for collection.

[0041] When the cam 521 is in the state of being tilted, the second end of the cam 521 is pressed against the top of the cam 522 and the second end of the cam 523 is pressed against the top of the cam 521.

[0042] Furthermore, the tapping equipment 2 also includes: a contoured edge abutting end head 70, which is arranged on one side of the tapping mechanism 60, and one end of the contoured edge abutting end head 70 is fixed on the track 31 and extends outward from the track 31; wherein, when the stamping part 3 is in the tapping process, the contoured edge abutting end head 70 is tightly fitted with the other side of the stamping part 3 to fix the stamping part 3, and the contoured edge pushing end head 42 and the contoured edge abutting end head 70 are arranged on opposite sides of the annular side wall of the stamping part 3.

[0043] Furthermore, specifically, during the use of the tapping device 2 in this embodiment, the tapping process is as follows: a plurality of stamping parts 3 are loaded into the material rack body 10 through the guide frame 20, and the first cylinder 41 pushes the deforming pushing end head, thereby pushing the single stamping part 3 at the bottom of the outlet end 12 in the material rack body 10 to the tapping position, and the single stamping part 3 is tapped by the tapping mechanism 60. Since the tapping device 2 in this application is used to tap the stamping parts 3 with special-shaped structures, the stamping parts 3 with special-shaped structures cannot be transported by pushing the products in a product-pushing manner, and are prone to jamming, the present application is provided with a contoured edge pushing end head 42, see Figure 5 , in order to imitate the curvature of the side wall of the stamping part 3, the profiling and pushing end head 42 can fit closely to the side wall of the stamping part 3, and then the profiling and pushing end head 42 is pushed by the pushing rod of the first cylinder 41 to push the stamping part 3 to the area to be tapped. When the tapping of one stamping part 3 is completed, the profiling and pushing end head 42 is retracted, and then the second stamping part 3 is pushed from the material rack main body 10 into the track 31, and the cycle is repeated.

[0044] On this side of the tapping process, a contoured edge is provided against the end 70, see Figure 5 , the contoured edge supports the finished stamping part 3, thereby preventing the finished stamping part 3 from rotating and moving during tapping.

[0045] At the same time, in order to solve the problem of removing the stamped part 3 after tapping is completed, the present application is also provided with a hook part 52, and the extension and resetting of the hook part 52 is realized through the operation of the second cylinder 51. The first cylinder 41 and the second cylinder 51 are both set with PLC control according to the sensor to realize automated production.

[0046] The above describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above-described embodiments and the specification merely illustrate the principles of the present application. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
