Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nut processing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a multi-station cold heading machine for nut processing. Background Technology
[0002] A nut is a fastener that is screwed onto a bolt or threaded rod to secure a fastener; it is an essential component in all manufacturing machinery. Based on the material, nuts are classified into several types, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals (such as copper). A cold heading machine is a specialized piece of equipment used for cold heading nuts. Cold heading is a processing method that uses room temperature to plastically deform metal materials, increasing their density and strength while reducing material waste.
[0003] During the use of cold heading machines, the cold heading head wears out quite severely, so it needs to be replaced frequently. However, most existing cold heading heads are fixed with bolts during installation, which requires tools to disassemble later, affecting disassembly efficiency.
[0004] Furthermore, it is inconvenient to remove the processed nuts from the inside of the workstation. The formed nuts need to be manually removed from the stamping die, which is quite inconvenient and makes it impossible to carry out cold heading continuously. Utility Model Content

The inner wall of the locking sleeve 12 is in contact with one end of the locking pin 9 and the pull block 11. The upper end of the base 1 is provided with a processing table 13. The upper end face of the processing table 13 is provided with a work station hole 14. Multiple work station holes 14 are provided, and all of them can be located below the cold heading head 7. The outer wall of the locking sleeve 12 is provided with external threads.
[0032] In this embodiment, a placement plate 15 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the workstation hole 14. A guide cylinder 16 is slidably provided at the middle position of the placement plate 15. The upper end of the guide cylinder 16 passes through the placement plate 15 and is provided with a top block 17. The top block 17 is located inside the workstation hole 14.

A second spring 23 is fixedly provided between the limiting block 22 and the processing table 13.
[0033] More specifically, the user can rotate the locking sleeve 12 to disengage it from the locking pin 9 and the pull block 11. At this time, the locking pin 9 can be removed from the inside of the locking hole 8 by pulling the pull block 11, so as to separate the mounting rod 6 and the mounting sleeve 5, making it convenient to replace the cold heading head 7. When it is necessary to remove the nut inside the work station hole 14, the limit block 22 can be pulled to disengage one end of the pin 20 from the slot 21. At this time, the first spring 19 will extend to move the top block 17 upward, thereby pushing out the nut inside the work station hole 14 for quick material removal.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2As an implementation method for processing multiple nuts: a motor 24 is provided on the upper end face of the base 1, the output end of the motor 24 is connected to the bottom of the processing table 13, a support ring 25 is provided on the upper end face of the base 1, and a support roller 26 is provided on the lower end face of the processing table 13.

[0038] In summary, when using the overall equipment: when it is necessary to disassemble the cold heading head 7, the locking sleeve 12 can be rotated to disengage it from the locking pin 9 and the pull block 11. At this time, the locking pin 9 can be removed from the inside of the locking hole 8 by pulling the pull block 11, so that the mounting rod 6 and the mounting sleeve 5 can be separated, making it convenient to replace the cold heading head 7. When it is necessary to remove the nut inside the work station hole 14, the limit block 22 can be pulled to disengage one end of the pin 20 from the slot 21. At this time, the first spring 19 will extend to move the top block 17 upward. The cold heading head 7 moves, thereby pushing out the nut inside the workstation hole 14 for quick material removal. During processing, the user can also control the motor 24 to rotate the processing table 13 to change the workstation hole 14, facilitating the simultaneous processing of multiple nuts. Furthermore, by setting the support ring 25 and support roller 26, the bottom of the processing table 13 can be supported to prevent the cold heading head 7 from causing a large impact on the processing table 13 and motor 24 when processing the nut inside the workstation hole 14, thereby extending the service life of the device.
