DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the present invention will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the drawings and the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structures of the drawings is only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.
[0022] Example:
[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, this embodiment provides a wire screw sleeve tail handle punching and tail removal die group, which includes two parts, namely a punching module and a tail removal die group. The punching module is responsible for breaking the tail handle of the wire screw sleeve, and the tail removal die group is responsible for sucking the tail handle after punching. The two cooperate to achieve efficient removal of the tail handle, wherein the main components involved are a punch needle 1 and a tail handle suction probe 2. The upper end of the punch needle 1 is connected to a punch needle driving mechanism, which is used to drive the punch needle 1 to punch the tail handle of the wire screw sleeve through the punch needle driving mechanism. The upper end of the tail handle suction probe 2 is connected to a probe driving mechanism, which is used to drive the tail handle suction probe 2 to move up and down through the probe driving mechanism. A magnet is installed in the tail handle probe 2 to suck the tail handle when the tail handle suction probe 2 descends; the punch needle driving mechanism and the probe driving mechanism are both installed on the mounting backplate 3, so that the removal and suction of the tail handle can be carried out continuously without affecting subsequent production.
[0024] The utility model concentrates the tail handle breaking module and the tail removal module on a mounting back plate 3, has a high degree of integration and occupies a small area. During the equipment construction, the punch needle driving mechanism can be used to drive the punch needle 1 to punch off the tail handle of the wire screw sleeve, and then the probe driving mechanism can be used to drive the tail handle suction probe 2 to move up and down, so that the magnet in the tail handle suction probe 2 can suck the broken tail handle so that the removal and suction of the tail handle can be carried out continuously, which does not affect the subsequent production, ensures the installation efficiency of the wire screw sleeve, and reduces the labor cost.
[0025] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the punch needle driving mechanism includes a punch needle driving cylinder 4, the cylinder body of the punch needle driving cylinder 4 is installed on the mounting back plate 3, and the telescopic rod of the punch needle driving cylinder 4 is connected to the punch needle 1, and then the punch needle 1 can be controlled to move up and down by the telescopic movement of the punch needle driving cylinder 4. When the punch needle 1 moves downward, the tail handle of the wire screw sleeve can be broken, which is simple and practical to operate.
[0026] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the upper part of the punch needle 1 is connected with a sliding sleeve 5, and the sliding sleeve 5 is slidably connected to the lower part of the telescopic rod of the punch needle driving cylinder 4. The telescopic rod of the punch needle driving cylinder 4 is also fixed with a limiting ring 6 located above the sliding sleeve 5. The sliding sleeve 5 and the limiting ring 6 are connected by a spring (not shown in the figure). Then, when the punch needle 1 impacts the tail handle of the wire screw sleeve, the spring buffers the punch needle 1, so that when it hits the tail handle, it gives a gradually increasing force. While ensuring that the tail handle is broken, it can also avoid the impact force of the punch needle 1 being too large to cause damage to the device itself. At the same time, after the punch needle is punched, the spring can also make the sliding sleeve 5 automatically reset.
[0027] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that a limiting sleeve 7 is connected to the bottom of the cylinder body of the punch needle driving cylinder 4, and the lower end of the limiting sleeve 7 is provided with a conical limiting opening whose opening gradually becomes smaller from top to bottom, and the punch needle 1 matches and passes through the conical limiting opening to ensure that the punch needle 1 can hit the tail handle; the limiting ring 6, the sliding sleeve 5 and the punch needle driving cylinder 4 are all arranged in the limiting sleeve 7, and the outer diameter of the sliding sleeve 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the uppermost end of the conical limiting opening, the outer diameter of the sliding sleeve 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the uppermost end of the conical limiting opening, and the outer diameter of the sliding sleeve 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the lowermost end of the conical limiting opening, so that the sliding sleeve 5 can slide relatively, but cannot be separated from the limiting sleeve 7, thereby preventing the limiting sleeve 7 from being separated from the control of the punch needle driving cylinder 4.
[0028] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that a first slide rail 8 extending in the vertical direction is installed on the mounting back plate 3, and a first slider 9 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 8.

Combined with the cooperation of the first slide rail 8 and the first slider 9, the height adjustment of the punch needle driving cylinder 4 can be made more stable.
[0029] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that the probe driving mechanism includes a tail-taking driving cylinder 12, the cylinder body of the tail-taking driving cylinder 12 is installed on the mounting back plate 3, and the telescopic rod of the tail-taking driving cylinder 12 is connected to the tail-sucking handle probe 2.

The cylinder body of the tail-taking driving cylinder 12 is installed on the tail-taking device mounting seat 15, and the tail-taking device mounting seat 15 is fixedly connected to the second slider 14; a tail-taking lifting cylinder 16 is also installed on the mounting back plate 3, and the telescopic rod of the tail-taking lifting cylinder 16 is connected to the second slider 14 or the tail-taking device mounting seat 15. The tail-taking driving cylinder 12 can be raised and lowered by the tail-taking lifting cylinder 16, and the tail-taking handle probe 2 can be adjusted to a suitable position. Combined with the cooperation of the second slide rail 13 and the second slider 14, the height adjustment of the tail-taking driving cylinder 12 can be made more stable.
[0031] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that a horizontal positioning block 17 is installed at the lower part of the mounting back plate 3, and a vertical through hole is opened on the horizontal positioning block 17.

The push-pull plate 19 is matched and slid in the horizontal slide groove, so as to push or pull the tail handle sucked into the horizontal slide groove by the push-pull plate 19, thereby realizing effective collection of the tail handle.
[0033] As a preferred implementation scheme in this embodiment, it needs to be further explained that a blowing pipe joint 20 is installed at the lower end of the horizontal positioning block 17 on one side of the horizontal slide, and the blowing pipe joint 20 is connected to the blowing device through a pipe. A guide pipe joint 21 is installed at the upper end of the horizontal positioning block 17 above the blowing pipe joint 20. The guide pipe joint 21 can be connected to the collection container through a conduit.
