Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of conductive nozzle processing equipment, in particular to conductive nozzle punching equipment. Background Art

[0002] The contact tip is a consumable part of welding equipment and is considered a welding consumable. The metal tip at the end of the welding gun, which guides the welding wire, is the contact tip. Contact tips are typically made of copper (such as chromium-zirconium copper and red copper). During contact tip processing, a hole is drilled into the workpiece bar. To ensure accurate drilling, the bar is typically centered. This precise positioning of the center drill bit during hole drilling facilitates later drilling guidance and reduces errors.

[0003] Therefore, to complete the hole processing of the contact tip, it is often necessary to first center the bar stock; then, the centered bar stock must be clamped to the punching equipment for punching. This operation not only affects processing efficiency, but also, because centering and punching are not performed on the same machine, and the bar stock is transferred, it is easy to cause processing errors during processing, resulting in uneven punching quality of the contact tip.

[0004] To address this issue, researchers considered integrating the point centering and punching functions into a single device, thereby reducing workpiece transfer. This led to the development of a device that combines both point centering and punching functions. This device is configured by placing the point centering and punching devices on an XY-axis servo slide, with the two devices aligned along the Y-axis. The device operates as follows: the XY-axis servo slide first moves in the Y direction, then moves the point centering device to the processing position. The XY-axis servo slide then moves in the X direction to perform point centering. After centering, the XY-axis servo slide returns to its X-direction position, then moves in the Y direction to move the punching device to the processing position. The XY-axis servo slide then moves in the X direction to perform punching.

[0005] Although this method can reduce the movement of the bar, the existing XY-axis servo slide is manually set and driven by a screw in the initial stage. The movement accuracy cannot meet the accuracy requirements when punching the conductive nozzle. Therefore, in actual use, the punching accuracy still needs to be improved.

[0006] At the same time, the loading mechanism of existing contact nozzle punching equipment is also relatively complex (see patent CN204546094U), which generally loads the material directly at the processing end of the pneumatic chuck. This design makes the connection between loading and unloading actions easily affect loading efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0055] According to the design, the upward sliding limit position of the movable slider 541-1 of the rodless cylinder 541 can also be set to the downward flip limit position of the rotating flap 51, and the downward sliding limit position of the movable slider 541-1 of the rodless cylinder 541 can be set to the upward flip limit position of the rotating flap 51.

[0056] The point center mechanism 5 also includes a locking assembly 57 for locking the rotating shaft 53; the locking assembly 57 includes a locked part fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft 53, and a locking member that can cooperate with the locked part to form locking and disengagement under the drive of a fourth drive device 571; the fourth drive device 571 is a pneumatic cylinder, and of course an oil cylinder can also be used.

[0057] The locked portion is the first end toothed disc 572; the locking member is the second end toothed disc 573; the first end toothed disc 572 and the second end toothed disc 573 cooperate to lock the rotating shaft 53;

[0058] The cylinder serving as the fourth driving device 571 is fixedly arranged on the linear slide; the first-end toothed disc 572 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 53 that is not connected to the second connecting rod 543, and is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 53; the second-end toothed disc 573 is fixedly arranged on the telescopic shaft of the cylinder; when the rotating flap 51 is flipped to the upper flip limit position or the lower flip limit position, the first-end toothed disc 572 can be engaged and locked with the second-end toothed disc 573; the second-end toothed disc 573 is used to engage and lock or disengage and unlock with the first-end toothed disc 572 under the drive of the cylinder.

[0059] The working process of the utility model for conducting nozzle punching is as follows:

[0060] Loading preparation: The vibrating plate 21 conveys the bar material into the conveying pipe 22, and the second locking device at the outlet of the conveying pipe 22 locks the bar material to be discharged; the material tray 241 moves toward the conveying pipe 22 under the drive of the first linear module 23, and the three loading holes 242 on the material tray 241 are connected to the conveying pipe 22 in turn; in each connection, the free end of the positioning cylinder 27 is first extended into the loading hole 242 that is now connected to the conveying pipe 22, and then the first locking device 243 on the loading hole 242 is unlocked to allow the bar material to enter the loading hole 242; the second locking device on the conveying pipe 22 is unlocked, As the conveying pipe 22 enters the loading hole 242 under the thrust of the subsequent rods; when the sensor on the free end of the positioning cylinder 27 senses that there are rods in the loading hole 242, the first locking device 243 locks the rods in the loading hole 242, and the second locking device also locks the rods in the conveying pipe 22; this method is repeated until all three loading holes 242 are filled with rods; then the material tray 241 is moved to the feed end of the feeding channel under the drive of the first linear module 23, and the three loading holes 242 correspond to the three feeding channels one by one, waiting for the pushing rod group 26 to load the material.

[0061] Loading: The push rod 261 of the push rod group 26 is driven by the second linear module 25 to push the bar material in the three loading holes 242 of the material tray 241 into the rotating spindle 31 (the second locking device is in the unlocked state at this time), and pushes it toward the processing end of the pneumatic chuck 32; the mounting frame 612 is driven by the first driving device to move to the lower end, and the receiving trough 64 is in a state waiting to receive material; as the push rod 261 pushes the bar material to the processing end, if there is a processed workpiece on the pneumatic chuck 32, the workpiece will be pushed off and fall into the receiving trough 64; then the positioning plate 621 is driven by the second driving device to move toward the pneumatic chuck 32, and the bar material to be processed extends out of the pneumatic chuck 32 and is positioned by the positioning plate 621, and then the push rod 261 exits the rotating spindle 31, and the pneumatic chuck 32 clamps the bar material to be processed to complete the loading. During this process, the sensor head 622 on the positioning plate 621 senses whether there is a bar in the pneumatic chuck 32 and, if not, generates an alarm. The sensing principle of the sensor head 622 is based on the existing sensing principle of the sensor head. When the bar contacts the sensor head 622 on the positioning plate 621, an electrical signal is generated. If the electrical signal is generated, the bar is present.

[0062] The first linear module 23 and the second linear module 25 are both tandem linear modules, and their driving methods are well-known technologies and are commonly used in automation equipment. Therefore, their structures and working principles are not described in detail here.

[0063] Then, the mounting bracket 612 is driven upward to the uppermost end by the first driving device, at which time the blanking port of the receiving trough 64 is connected with the discharge channel 65; then the pushing plate 631 of the pushing assembly 63 is driven by the third driving device to sweep the workpiece in the receiving trough 64 from the receiving trough 64 to the discharge channel 65, and the workpiece slides along the discharge channel 65 to a predetermined position (this position generally has a turnover box for accommodating the workpiece); after the mounting bracket 612 moves upward and performs the above-mentioned subsequent actions, the rodless cylinder 541 drives the rotating shaft 53 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 53 drives the rotating flap 51 to flip down to the downward limit position. At this time, the center drill bit 52 on the rotating flap 51 and the drill bit 421 are on the same axis.

[0064] Next, the cylinder (ie, the fourth driving device 571 ) drives the second end gear disc 573 to engage with the first end gear disc 572 on the rotating shaft 53 to achieve locking.

[0065] The rotating flap 51 is buffered by the upper buffer cylinder 55 and the lower buffer cylinder 56 during the process of flipping up or down, and the whole process is highly stable with little vibration.

[0066] The linear slide 41 moves linearly, and the rotating spindle 31 rotates to drive the bar to be processed to rotate. The center drill bit 52 contacts the punching surface of the bar, and as the bar rotates, the center drill bit 52 machines a center hole on the punching surface of the workpiece.

[0067] Next, the linear slide 41 moves backward relative to the pneumatic chuck 32 , and the cylinder drives the second end gear disc 573 to disengage from the first end gear disc 572 , and then the rodless cylinder 541 drives the rotary flap 51 to flip upward.

[0068] Then, the linear slide 41 moves toward the pneumatic chuck 32 again, allowing the drill bit 421 to drill a hole based on the center hole on the workpiece, thereby completing the drilling.

[0069] After the punching is completed, the linear slide 41 moves back to its original position away from the pneumatic chuck 32 .

[0070] When the equipment is punching, the feeding mechanism 2 is preparing to feed the material, and it goes back and forth.

[0071] (Example 2)

[0072] In the present invention, the second end gear disc 573 is fixedly mounted on a slide, which is slidably mounted on the linear slide 41 via a slide rail, and the slide is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder serving as the fourth drive device 571. This design ensures the stability of the second end gear disc 573.

[0073] Other technical features are the same as those in Example 1.

[0074] (Example 3)

[0075] The locking assembly 55 of the present invention comprises a locked portion fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 53, and a locking member that engages with the locked portion to lock and release under the action of a drive device 551. The locked portion comprises an upper slot and a lower slot, and the locking member comprises a pin. When the rotating flap 51 is in the upper limit position, the pin engages with the upper slot to lock the flap; when the rotating flap 51 is in the lower limit position, the pin engages with the lower slot to lock the flap.

[0076] Other technical features are the same as those in Example 1.
