Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw heading machine technology, and in particular to a multi-station screw heading machine. Background Technology
[0002] Heading machines are a type of cold heading equipment, primarily used for forming the heads of screws. Their working principle involves straightening, feeding, cutting, and feeding the wire into the main die; the first stroke for initial forging; and the second stroke to remove the formed blank. The entire process is completed in one continuous operation, with a production capacity of approximately 200 screws per minute. It is considered a technologically advanced product. Heading machines can manufacture common products such as self-tapping screws, electrical screws, miniature screws, internal and external hex bolts, self-drilling screws, and fiberboard screws.
[0003] Different molds are needed to head screws of different diameters. Currently used heading machines require complete disassembly and replacement when changing molds, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and affects output and efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this patent application is how to provide a multi-station screw heading machine that is easy to change molds, highly efficient, and easy to operate.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A multi-station screw heading machine includes a base, a stamping mechanism, a feeding mechanism, and a forming component;
[0007] The stamping mechanism includes a vertical plate fixedly installed on the base, two stamping cylinders fixedly installed on the vertical plate, the cylinder rods of the stamping cylinders passing through the vertical plate and fixedly installed with punches; the unloading mechanism includes a support fixedly installed on the base, a cylinder seat fixedly installed on the support, a discharge cylinder fixedly installed on the cylinder seat, and a discharge push rod fixedly installed on the cylinder rod of the discharge cylinder.
[0008] The forming assembly includes a bracket, on which a servo motor is fixedly mounted via a motor mount. A rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor, and a turntable is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft. The turntable has four circular holes arranged in a ring array. The stamping mechanism and the unloading mechanism are respectively located on both sides of the turntable. The ends of the circular holes near the stamping mechanism are recessed to form a retaining ring, and the ends of the circular holes near the unloading mechanism are protruding to form a sleeve. The outer side of the sleeve has external threads. A forming mold is placed inside the circular holes. The forming mold has a through-hole forming section and a screw section, and an abutment ring that abuts against the retaining ring. A cap is threadedly connected to the outer side of the sleeve, and the cap abuts against the forming mold. The cap has a through hole that allows the unloading push rod to pass through.
[0009] This design incorporates four circular holes arranged in a ring array, enabling multi-station integration. The four holes serve as the loading, first punch, second punch, and unloading stations, integrating four processes to improve efficiency. A servo motor drives a turntable to rotate, facilitating station switching. During stamping, the punch shapes the raw material placed in the mold. Upon moving to the unloading station, the unloading mechanism ejects the product from the mold. Two punches and one unloading push rod are positioned corresponding to the three circular holes to avoid interference. The cap body has a through hole for the unloading push rod to pass through. In this application, the mold length is greater than the screw length. After heading, the screw tail is cut off in subsequent processes to prevent deformation between the screw and the through hole in the cap body from affecting quality.
[0010] The forming mold has a through-type screw head forming section and a screw section. The diameter of the screw section matches the diameter of the raw material. The punch presses the end of the raw material and forms the screw head by punching the screw head. The screw head forming operation is achieved by punching the screw head once and twice.
[0011] When a mold needs to be changed, simply unscrew the cap and remove the forming mold. During replacement, place the forming mold into the round hole, using the retaining ring and abutment ring to create a blocking and limiting effect. Then, thread the cap onto the sleeve to install the forming mold. Mold replacement can be completed without disassembling the turntable, improving efficiency.
[0012] The retaining ring is fixed with several positioning pins, and the abutting ring has positioning holes that are inserted and engaged with the positioning pins.
[0013] The cap body has a protruding insert ring, which is located between the forming mold and the sleeve.
[0014] A handle is fixed to the outer side of the cap.
[0015] The cap body has an outer ring that abuts against the turntable.
[0016] The motor base has a ring, and a thrust ball bearing is mounted on the ring facing the turntable.
[0017] In summary, this multi-station screw heading machine has the advantages of easy mold changing, high efficiency, and convenient operation. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The forming assembly includes a bracket 8, on which a servo motor 9 is fixedly mounted via a motor mount. A rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor, and a turntable 10 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft. The turntable has four circular holes 11 arranged in a ring array. The stamping mechanism and the unloading mechanism are respectively located on both sides of the turntable. The end of the circular hole near the stamping mechanism is recessed to form a retaining ring 12, and the end of the circular hole near the unloading mechanism is protruded to form a sleeve 13. The outer side of the sleeve is provided with external threads. A forming mold 14 is placed inside the circular hole. The forming mold has a through-hole forming section 15 and a screw section 16. The forming mold has an abutment ring 17 that abuts against the retaining ring. The outer side of the sleeve is threadedly connected to a cap 18, which abuts against the forming mold. The cap has a through hole 19 that allows the unloading push rod to pass through.
[0027] This design incorporates four circular holes arranged in a ring array, enabling multi-station integration. The four holes serve as the loading, first punch, second punch, and unloading stations, integrating four processes to improve efficiency. A servo motor drives a turntable to rotate, facilitating station switching. During stamping, the punch shapes the raw material placed in the mold. Upon moving to the unloading station, the unloading mechanism ejects the product from the mold. Two punches and one unloading push rod are positioned corresponding to the three circular holes to avoid interference. The cap body has a through hole for the unloading push rod to pass through.
