Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of U-bolt processing, in particular to a translation mechanism for U-bolt thread processing. Background Art

[0002] U-bolt threading has traditionally been done using a handheld single-end threading machine. During the process, one end is manually pushed into a clamping mechanism to position and clamp it, the machine is started to process the thread, and then the workpiece is manually removed. The unprocessed end of the workpiece is manually pushed into the clamping mechanism to position and clamp it, and the machine is started to process the thread. After processing is complete, the workpiece is manually removed and placed on a dedicated rack for transfer to the next station. This processing method is cumbersome and increases labor intensity. To address this issue, we propose a translation mechanism for U-bolt threading. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a translation mechanism for U-bolt thread processing includes a workbench 1, a conveying mechanism 2, and a clamping device 3; two clamping plates 5 are provided on the clamping device 3, and the clamping plates 5 are driven by a hydraulic rod 4, and the clamping plates 5 are used to clamp the middle part of the bolt raw material 11 and expose the parts of the bolt raw material 11 at both ends that need to be threaded, and a material guide plate 12 is provided on the conveying mechanism 2, and the material guide plate 12 is used to control the conveying mechanism 2 to convey the bolt raw materials 11 one by one to between the two clamping plates 5 of the clamping device 3.

[0024] The clamping device 3 is installed on the workbench 1 . A material blocking plate 6 is provided on the workbench 1 at a side away from the conveying mechanism 2 . The conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey the bolt material 11 on the clamping device 3 until it contacts the material blocking plate 6 .

[0025] The workbench 1 is equipped with a hydraulic rod 2 (7) and a controller 24, which drives the clamping device 3 in translation. A photoelectric sensor is installed on the stop plate 6. When the bolt stock 11 contacts the stop plate 6, triggering the sensor, the controller 24 controls the hydraulic rod 1 (4) to drive the clamping plate 5 to clamp the bolt stock 11 and control the hydraulic rod to translate the clamping device 3. The conveyor mechanism 2 conveys the bolt stock 11 forward, and the guide plate 12 adjusts the position of the bolt stock 11, delivering it one by one to the clamping device 3. The stop plate 6 is adjustable and positions the bolt stock 11 so that it is centered in the clamping device 3. The hydraulic rod 1 (4) and clamping plate 5 then clamp the bolt stock 11. The hydraulic rod 2 (7) then drives the clamping device 3 and the bolt stock 11 to translate between the loading, threading, and inspection stations. This method is not only efficient but also provides accurate positioning, resolving the cumbersome and labor-intensive issues of existing manual processing methods.

[0026] A first threading machine 9 is provided on one side of the workbench 1, and a second threading machine 10 is provided on the other side. The first threading machine 9 and the second threading machine 10 are used to simultaneously thread the ends of the bolt stock 11 when the clamping device 3 moves to the thread processing station. The first threading machine 9 and the second threading machine 10 thread the ends of the bolt stock 11 while the bolt stock 11 is fixed.

[0027] The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying mechanism 2 and a motor 13. The motor 13 drives several conveying mechanisms 2 to rotate simultaneously through a chain or belt. The conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey the bolt material 11 to the clamping device 3. The setting of the conveying mechanism 2 can realize automatic loading on the one hand, and can cooperate with the material blocking plate 6 to position the bolt material 11 on the clamping device 3 on the other hand.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a slide rail 8 is provided on the workbench 1 corresponding to the translation stroke of the clamping device 3, and a slider for sliding along the slide rail 8 is provided at the bottom of the clamping device 3. By providing the slide rail 8 and the slide rail 8, the stability of the clamping device 3 and the bolt material 11 during movement can be ensured to avoid deviation, while ensuring smooth translation.

[0029] Industrial camera 14 is installed on one side of slide rail 8 on workbench 1, aiming at the threads on one end of processed bolt stock 11. Industrial camera 2 is installed on the other side of slide rail 8 on workbench 1, aiming at the threads on the other end of processed bolt stock 11. The industrial cameras use visual cameras to photograph the threads of the U-bolts and inspect their outer diameter, pitch, and symmetry.

[0030] The workbench 1 is provided with a background plate 1 22 and a background plate 2 23. One end of the threaded bolt stock 11 is located between the background plate 1 22 and the industrial camera 1 14, and the other end is located between the background plate 2 23 and the industrial camera 2 15. The background plate can improve the accuracy of industrial camera recognition.

[0031] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the workbench 1 is located on one side of the slide rail 8 and is connected to the first push plate 18 through a hinge. The first push plate 18 is also rotatably connected to a hydraulic rod 3 20. The hydraulic rod 3 20 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1. The hydraulic rod 3 20 is used to push the first push plate 18 to rotate relative to the workbench 1 to push the bolt raw material 11 to be unloaded from one side of the workbench 1.

[0032] The other side of the slide rail 8 on the workbench 1 is connected to the second push plate 19 through a hinge. The second push plate 19 is also rotatably connected to a hydraulic rod four 21. The hydraulic rod four 21 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1. The hydraulic rod four 21 is used to push the second push plate 19 to rotate relative to the workbench 1 to push the bolt raw material 11 to be unloaded from the other side of the workbench 1.

[0033] On one side of the workbench 1, opposite the first push plate 18, is a workpiece box 16. On the other side of the workbench 1, opposite the second push plate 19, is a recycling box 17. If the industrial camera detects that either end of the U-bolt has unqualified threads, hydraulic rod 3 20 drives the first push plate 18 to push the unqualified bolt stock 11 into the recycling box 17. If the industrial camera detects that both ends of the U-bolt are qualified, hydraulic rod 4 21 drives the second push plate 19 to push the qualified bolt stock 11 into the workpiece box 16 for the next process.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
