[0042] The sensing assembly includes a signal transmitter 9 and a signal receiver 8, both mounted on the frame 1, with the tapping drive 6 positioned between them. When the tapping drive 6 safely descends to a specified height, the signal receiver 8 receives a signal from the signal transmitter 9, confirming that the tap 5 can safely enter the hole reserved in the filter cover.

[0043] The tapping device provided by the utility model is used, the operator needs to put the filter cover plate into the clamping position, then clamps the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, and makes the filter cover plate rotate to be directly below the tap 5, at this time, the tap 5 is rotated, only needs the vertical driving part 7 to descend again until the descending of the specified height is completed, and the tapping operation of the tap 5 to the filter cover plate can be finally realized.

The operator needs to place the filter cover plate between the two clamping half-rings 12, after being placed, the rotation stopping block will be placed on the outside of the filter to rotate, and a part of the outer edge of the filter will be overlapped on the end face of the clamping half-ring 12, thereby limiting the moving direction of the tap 5. In this case, the tapping operation of the filter cover plate can be completed.

[0051] Further, as shown in Figures 1-3 , the embodiment proposes that one clamping plate 3 corresponds to multiple clamping positions, and the number of taps 5 is the same as the number of clamping positions corresponding to one clamping plate 3 and is arranged one by one.

[0052] In the embodiment, in order to improve the tapping efficiency, multiple clamping positions are arranged on the clamping plate 3, and the number of taps 5 is multiple, one clamping position corresponds to one tap 5, and all the taps 5 simultaneously perform tapping operation, which can improve the tapping efficiency.

[0053] Further, as shown in Figures 1-3 , the embodiment proposes that the clamping plate 3 is multiple and is arranged in a circumferential distribution, and the center of the circumference is the axis of the clamping rotating shaft 2.

[0054] In the embodiment, the clamping plate 3 is arranged in multiple, and the multiple clamping plates 3 are arranged in a circumferential distribution, which can ensure that some clamping plates 3 are in tapping operation, some clamping plates 3 are in feeding of the filter cover plate, and some clamping plates 3 are in unloading of the filter cover plate, thereby improving the tapping efficiency.

[0055] In an actual application, the number of clamping plates 3 is six and is arranged in a circumferential distribution, corresponding to six clamping positions arranged side by side on one clamping plate 3, and two clamping half-rings 12 and two rotation stopping blocks are arranged on one clamping position.

[0056] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , the embodiment proposes that the tapping driving member 6 and the tap 5 are multiple and are arranged one by one.

[0057] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the tapping efficiency, the tapping drive 6 and the tap 5 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. This ensures that when one tapping drive 6 is damaged, the other tapping drive 6 can still work normally, and also reduces the complexity of the overall structure.

[0058] In a practical application, the number of tapping drive members is 6, the number of vertical drive members is 3, and one vertical drive member corresponds to two tapping drive members. This can simplify the overall structure and reduce the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the device.

[0059] Further, if Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment proposes that a protective frame 13 is provided on the upper portion of the frame 1 , the vertical driving member 7 and the tap 5 driving member are both located in the protective frame 13 , and the sensing component is provided on the protective frame 13 .

The vertical driving member 7 and the tap 5 driving member are both located in the protective frame 13. The sensing component is arranged on the protective frame 13, which can also protect the sensing component.

[0061] Further, if Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment further proposes a feeding chute 14, which is provided on the feeding side of the frame 1 and is used to place un-tapped filter covers.

[0062] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the operation of the operator and improve the tapping efficiency, a feeding chute 14 is provided on the side of the frame 1. Many filter covers without tapping are placed in the feeding chute 14, which makes it easier for the operator to take materials from the feeding chute 14 and improves the feeding efficiency.

[0063] Further, if Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment further proposes a conveyor belt 15, which is located at the discharge side of the frame 1 and is used to convey the filter cover after tapping.

[0064] In this embodiment, since the clamping plate 3 will place the filter cover in a tapping position after rotating a certain angle, when the filter cover completes tapping, the clamping plate 3 continues to rotate. After rotating a certain angle, the filter cover will fall from the clamping position. The conveyor belt 15 is set on the side of the frame 1, and the filter cover can fall onto the conveyor belt 15, and then be transported to the collection box by the conveyor belt 15.

[0065] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
