Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic tapping machine technology, specifically to an automatic tapping machine with a coolant collection mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] An automatic tapping machine is a type of machining equipment mainly used to machine internal threads on the inner surfaces of holes in various parts such as machine housings, equipment end faces, nuts, and flanges, which have through holes or blind holes of different specifications. Depending on the type of driving power, tapping machines can be classified as manual tapping machines, pneumatic tapping machines, electric tapping machines, and hydraulic tapping machines. Currently, there are various types of sleeve tapping machines on the market, mainly including inclined tapping machines, multi-axis tapping machines, and transverse tapping machines.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with publication number CN216096824U, which specifically discloses a fully automatic sleeve tapping machine. The machine includes a tapping assembly at the rear of the working platform, with a chuck assembly mounted at the bottom of the tapping head. A chuck is positioned on the working platform directly below the chuck assembly, and a feeding assembly at the front of the working platform. The feeding assembly includes a guide cylinder and a guide bracket fixed to the working platform and located in front of the chuck, and a guide groove inclinedly fixed to the top slope of the guide bracket. A material drop port is located on the working platform directly below the guide cylinder, and a feeding channel is located at the center of the chuck. A feeding port is located on the working platform directly below the feeding channel. A receiving platform is slidably mounted on a slide rail at the bottom of the working platform. A pusher cylinder for pushing the receiving platform is fixed to the front of the slide rail, and a feeding cylinder is vertically fixed to the bottom of the receiving platform. The piston rod of the feeding cylinder passes upward through the receiving platform and is fixed to a receiving post. This utility model can automatically process high-strength, large-diameter steel bar straight thread sleeves.

[0004] Although the tapping assembly and chuck assembly in the aforementioned patent can work together to tap high-strength, large-diameter threaded sleeves, the tapping machine generates a large amount of wire chips during production. When machining threaded sleeves, the tapping head needs to be cooled by coolant in time. However, existing tapping machines cannot collect and separate the wire chips and coolant in time, resulting in the tapping machine's machining surface being filled with wire chips and coolant, affecting the machining accuracy of the tapping machine. Furthermore, the coolant cannot be collected and recycled, causing a large waste of coolant and greatly increasing the company's operating costs.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an automatic tapping machine with a coolant collection mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic tapping machine with a coolant collection mechanism. Through the cooperation of the internal parts of the discharge mechanism, the tapping chips and coolant generated between the tapping assembly and the tapping machine body can be collected and separated. Through the cooperation of the internal parts of the recycling mechanism, the coolant can be recycled, and it is convenient for workers to remove the recycling box inside the tapping machine body. This solves the problem in the prior art where tapping machines cannot collect and separate chips and coolant in a timely manner during use, resulting in the tapping machine's processing surface being filled with chips and coolant, affecting the tapping accuracy, and causing a large waste of coolant due to the inability to collect and recycle it, which greatly increases the enterprise's operating costs.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic tapping machine with a coolant collection mechanism, comprising a tapping machine body, a tapping assembly at the top of the tapping machine body, a discharge mechanism on one side of the tapping machine body extending through the tapping machine body to the top of the tapping machine body, and a recycling mechanism slidably connected to the side of the tapping machine body away from the discharge mechanism, extending through the interior of the tapping machine body.

[0008] Preferably, the discharge mechanism includes a first cabinet door, which is rotatably connected to one side of the tapping machine body. A discharge port is provided between the bottom end of the tapping assembly and the top end of the tapping machine body. A discharge plate is slidably connected inside the tapping machine body and located below the discharge port. An inclined partition is installed and fixed at the top end of the discharge plate on the side away from the first cabinet door. Limiting slides are provided at both ends of the discharge plate and extend through to the inner wall of the tapping machine body. A separation partition is provided at the bottom end of the discharge plate and is installed and fixed inside the tapping machine body.

[0009] Preferably, the recycling mechanism includes a second cabinet door, which is rotatably connected to the side of the tapping machine body away from the first cabinet door. A recycling box is slidably connected inside the tapping machine body. A threaded rod is rotatably connected inside the tapping machine body and located below the recycling box. A limit slider is provided at the bottom of the recycling box and sleeved with the outer wall of the threaded rod. Connecting blocks are slidably connected to both ends of one side of the limit slider and penetrate into the interior of the limit slider. A connecting post is provided on the side of the connecting block that penetrates into the interior of the limit slider and penetrates into the interior of the recycling box. A telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting post and located inside the limit slider. A support plate is slidably connected inside the tapping machine body and located on one side of the discharge plate. A support spring is provided on the side of the support plate away from the discharge plate. A limit partition is provided at the bottom of the support plate and slidably connected to the interior of the tapping machine body and located on one side of the top of the recycling box. A return spring is provided on one side of the bottom of the limit partition and located inside the tapping machine body.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the unloading port that fits against the tapping machine body is provided with an inclined surface, the inside of the tapping machine body is provided with a sliding groove that matches the limiting slide bar, and a pull rod is installed on the side of the discharge plate near the first cabinet door.

[0011] Preferably, the surfaces of the discharge plate and the separation partition are provided with small separation holes, the diameter of the recycling box is larger than that of the discharge plate and the separation partition, the inner wall of the limiting slider is provided with an internal thread that matches the thread on the outer wall of the threaded rod, the inside of the tapping machine body is provided with a sliding groove that matches the recycling box and the limiting slider, the inside of the tapping machine body is provided with a drive motor that is connected and fixed to the threaded rod, and the bottom of the recycling box is provided with a pulley.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the recycling bin is provided with a connecting groove that matches the connecting column, the contact surfaces of the connecting block and the connecting column are both set as conical surfaces, one side of the support plate is attached to the discharge plate, the bottom of the support plate and the contact surfaces of the limiting partition are both set as conical surfaces, and the inside of the tapping machine body is provided with a reset groove that matches the support plate and the limiting partition.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0014] 1. When the tapping assembly at the top of the tapping machine body is used to tap the sleeve, the coolant cools the cutting head in real time. At the same time, the flow of coolant carries the wire chips generated during processing into the discharge plate through the discharge port. The wire chips will continuously accumulate on the discharge plate, while the coolant will separate from the wire chips through the separation holes on the surface of the discharge plate and the separation partition. The coolant will then flow from the discharge plate to the separation partition and finally drip into the recycling tank, thus completing the collection of coolant. When the operator opens the No. 1 cabinet door, the operator can pull the discharge plate to move it. The discharge plate slides inside the tapping machine body through the limiting slides at both ends. The movement of the discharge plate and the tilting partition work together to bring the wire chips accumulated on the surface of the discharge plate out from inside the tapping machine body, which makes it convenient for the operator to clean the wire chips collected inside the tapping machine body.

[0015] 2. Removing the discharge plate from the tapping machine body releases the pressure on the support plate, allowing the support spring to push the support plate back to its original position. This releases the support plate from the pressure on the limiting partition, causing the limiting partition to release the pressure on the return spring. The return spring then moves the limiting partition back into the tapping machine body, releasing its restriction on the recycling box. After opening cabinet door number two, the threaded rod is started to rotate. This rotation moves the limiting slider inside the tapping machine body, causing it to move through the connecting column and pull the recycling box out of the machine body. The limiting slider then presses against the inner wall of the sliding groove, causing the connecting block to press against the connecting column. This forces the connecting column to compress the telescopic spring, moving it out from the bottom of the recycling box. This separates the limiting slider from the recycling box, allowing workers to easily push the recycling box out of the tapping machine body. This facilitates the reprocessing and reuse of the coolant collected inside the recycling box, reducing the company's costs. Attached Figure Description

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The automatic tapping machine with a coolant collection mechanism shown includes a tapping machine body 1, a tapping assembly 101 at the top of the tapping machine body 1, a discharge mechanism 2 on one side of the tapping machine body 1 that extends through the tapping machine body 1 to the top of the tapping machine body 1, and a recycling mechanism 3 slidably connected to the side of the tapping machine body 1 away from the discharge mechanism 2 that extends into the interior of the tapping machine body 1. Through the cooperation between the internal parts of the discharge mechanism 2, the wire chips and coolant generated during tapping between the tapping assembly 101 and the tapping machine body 1 can be collected and separated. Through the cooperation between the internal parts of the recycling mechanism 3, the coolant can be recycled, and it is convenient for the operator to remove the recycling box 304 inside the tapping machine body 1.

[0026] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 The discharge mechanism 2 includes a first cabinet door 201, which is rotatably connected to one side of the tapping machine body 1. A discharge port 202 is provided between the bottom end of the tapping assembly 101 and the top end of the tapping machine body 1. A discharge plate 203 is slidably connected inside the tapping machine body 1 and located below the discharge port 202. An inclined partition 204 is installed and fixed at the top end of the discharge plate 203 on the side away from the first cabinet door 201.

Through the mutual cooperation between the internal parts of the discharge mechanism 2, the wire chips and coolant generated by tapping between the tapping assembly 101 and the tapping machine body 1 can be collected and the wire chips and coolant can be separated from each other.

[0027] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5The recycling mechanism 3 includes a second cabinet door 301, which is rotatably connected to the side of the tapping machine body 1 away from the first cabinet door 201. A recycling box 304 is slidably connected inside the tapping machine body 1. A threaded rod 302 is rotatably connected inside the tapping machine body 1 and located below the recycling box 304. A limit slider 303 is provided at the bottom of the recycling box 304 and is sleeved with the outer wall of the threaded rod 302. Connecting blocks 305 are slidably connected to both ends of one side of the limit slider 303 and penetrate into the interior of the limit slider 303. A connecting post 306 is provided on the side of the connecting block 305 that penetrates into the interior of the limit slider 303 and extends through the limit slider 303 into the interior of the recycling box 304.

A support spring 309 is provided on the side of the support plate 308 away from the discharge plate 203. A limiting partition 310 is provided at the bottom end of the support plate 308 and is slidably connected inside the tapping machine body 1 and located on one side of the top of the recovery box 304. A reset spring 311 is provided on one side of the bottom end of the limiting partition 310 and is located inside the tapping machine body 1.

[0028] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 The surface of the unloading port 202 that is in contact with the tapping machine body 1 is provided with an inclined surface. The inside of the tapping machine body 1 is provided with a sliding groove that matches the limiting slide bar 205. A pull rod is installed on the side of the discharge plate 203 near the first cabinet door 201. The inclined surface of the unloading port 202 that is in contact with the tapping machine body 1 facilitates the flow of coolant through the inclined surface, which drives the wire chips to flow from the top surface of the tapping machine body 1 to the discharge plate 203.

[0029] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 The surfaces of the discharge plate 203 and the separation partition 206 are provided with small separation holes. The diameter of the recovery box 304 is larger than that of the discharge plate 203 and the separation partition 206. The inner wall of the limiting slider 303 is provided with an internal thread that matches the thread on the outer wall of the threaded rod 302. The inside of the tapping machine body 1 is provided with a sliding groove that matches the recovery box 304 and the limiting slider 303. The inside of the tapping machine body 1 is provided with a drive motor that is connected and fixed to the threaded rod 302. The bottom of the recovery box 304 is provided with a pulley. The small separation holes on the surfaces of the discharge plate 203 and the separation partition 206 facilitate the separation of coolant and wire scrap after they fall onto the discharge plate 203. The coolant is separated from the wire scrap through the separation holes on the surfaces of the discharge plate 203 and the separation partition 206 and drips into the recovery box 304.

[0030] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 The bottom of the recycling box 304 is provided with a connecting groove that matches the connecting post 306. The contact surfaces of the connecting block 305 and the connecting post 306 are both set as conical surfaces. One side of the support plate 308 is in contact with the discharge plate 203. The bottom of the support plate 308 and the contact surfaces of the limiting partition 310 are both set as conical surfaces. The inside of the tapping machine body 1 is provided with a reset groove that matches the support plate 308 and the limiting partition 310. The bottom of the recycling box 304 is provided with a connecting groove that matches the connecting post 306, which facilitates the movement of the limiting slider 303 and drives the recycling box 304 to slide out of the inside of the tapping machine body 1 through the connecting post 306.

[0031] The working principle of this practical application is as follows:

[0032] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 When the tapping assembly 101 at the top of the tapping machine body 1 taps the sleeve, the coolant cools the cutting head in real time. At the same time, the flow of coolant carries the wire chips generated during processing into the discharge plate 203 through the discharge port 202. The wire chips will continuously accumulate on the discharge plate 203, while the coolant will separate from the wire chips through the separation holes on the surface of the discharge plate 203 and the separation partition 206, and then flow from the discharge plate 203 to the separation partition 206, and finally drip into the recycling box. Inside 304, the coolant collection operation is completed. The staff opens the first cabinet door 201 and pulls the discharge plate 203 to move. The discharge plate 203 slides inside the tapping machine body 1 through the limiting slide strips 205 at both ends. The movement of the discharge plate 203 cooperates with the inclined partition 204 to bring out the wire shavings accumulated on the surface of the discharge plate 203 from the inside of the tapping machine body 1, which makes it convenient for the staff to clean the wire shavings collected inside the tapping machine body 1.

[0033] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5By removing the discharge plate 203 from the tapping machine body 1, the discharge plate 203 can release its pressure on the support plate 308, causing the support spring 309 to push the support plate 308 back to its original position. This resets the support plate 308, releasing its pressure on the limiting partition 310, which in turn releases the limiting partition 310 from its pressure on the return spring 311. The return spring 311 then moves the limiting partition 310 back to its original position inside the tapping machine body 1, thus releasing the limiting partition 310 from its restriction on the recycling box 304 inside the tapping machine body 1. After opening the second cabinet door 301, the threaded rod 302 is then started to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 302 causes the limiting slider 303 to move within the tapping machine body 1. The internal movement causes the limiting slider 303 to move, which in turn moves the recycling box 304 out of the tapping machine body 1 via the connecting column 306. The limiting slider 303 presses against the inner wall of the sliding groove, causing the connecting block 305 to be pressed against the connecting column 306. This causes the connecting column 306 to compress the telescopic spring 307, causing the connecting column 306 to move out from the bottom of the recycling box 304. This separates the limiting slider 303 from the recycling box 304, making it easier for workers to push the recycling box 304 out of the tapping machine body 1. This facilitates the treatment and reuse of the coolant collected inside the recycling box 304, thus reducing the company's operating costs.

[0034] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
