Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of locking nuts, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for tapping locking nuts. Background Technology

[0002] When laying cables, electrical installation workers inevitably encounter numerous connections between cables or between cables and equipment, resulting in many wiring points. This necessitates cable connectors to protect the internal cables from external interference and reduce cable wear. Cable connectors require locknuts to secure them to the junction box. Existing thin locknuts require tapping, which workers must perform by placing them in the chuck of an automatic lathe. This method is insufficient for mass production needs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a feeding mechanism for tapping locking nuts.

[0004] This utility model provides a feeding mechanism for tapping locking nuts, including a base 1. A turntable 3 driven by a first motor 2 is provided on the base 1. Positioning grooves 4 are evenly distributed around the turntable 3 along its axis. A clearance hole is provided at the bottom of the positioning grooves 4. A slide rail 5 corresponding to the positioning grooves 4 is provided laterally on the base 1. A notch is provided on the side wall of the slide rail 5. A cover plate 6 is installed at the notch. A cylinder 7 for pushing the locking nut into the positioning groove 4 is provided at the end of the slide rail 5.

[0005] Furthermore, a gearbox is provided on the base 1, and the output shaft of the first motor 2 and the center of the turntable 3 are respectively connected to the input end and the output end of the gearbox.

[0006] Furthermore, the piston rod end of the cylinder 7 is connected to a push plate 8 that fits into the slide rail 5, and a limit plate 9 is horizontally installed on the top of the push plate 8.

[0007] Furthermore, the base 1 and the slide 5 are provided with retaining rings 10 that block the positioning groove 4.

[0008] Furthermore, a second motor 11 is disposed on the base 1 facing downwards, and a roller brush 12 for roller brushing the positioning groove 4 is connected to the conveying shaft of the second motor 11.

[0009] The advantages of this invention are as follows: the cylinder pushes the locking nut into the positioning slot, and the rotation of the turntable rotates the locking nut to the tapping station, meeting the needs of assembly line production; the power of the first motor is stably transmitted to the turntable, ensuring the rotation speed and positional accuracy of the turntable, thereby ensuring the stability and consistency of the feeding process; the positioning slot can accurately position the locking nut, ensuring that the locking nut is accurately positioned when it is conveyed to the tapping station, facilitating the precise execution of subsequent tapping operations; the locking nut on the vibratory feeder discharge channel is pushed through the notch into the slide, and the cylinder drives the push plate to push the locking nut on the slide into the positioning slot; the limiting plate can prevent the locking nut from falling or deviating during the pushing process; the retaining ring can block the rotating positioning slot, so as to prevent the locking nut in the positioning slot from being thrown out under the action of centrifugal force when the turntable rotates; the second motor drives the roller brush to rotate, and the roller brush cleans the positioning slot on the left front side, thereby cleaning the debris on the positioning slot.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0017] See Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a feeding mechanism for tapping locking nuts, comprising a base 1, on which a turntable 3 driven by a first motor 2 is mounted. The first motor is a servo motor, which stably transmits power to the turntable, ensuring the rotational speed and positional accuracy of the turntable, thereby guaranteeing the stability and consistency of the feeding process. A gearbox is mounted on the base 1, and the output shaft of the first motor 2 and the center of the turntable 3 are respectively connected to the input and output ends of the gearbox. Positioning grooves 4 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the axis of the turntable 3, with a total of eight positioning grooves, enabling precise positioning of the locking nuts. To ensure the locking nut is accurately positioned when it is conveyed to the tapping station, facilitating precise subsequent tapping operations, the tapping machine taps the locking nut in the rear positioning groove and then removes it. The bottom of the positioning groove 4 has a clearance hole, and the base 1 has a horizontally arranged slide rail 5 corresponding to the positioning groove 4. The side wall of the slide rail 5 has a notch. The locking nut on the vibratory feeder's discharge channel is pushed through the notch into the slide rail. A cover plate 6 is installed at the notch to prevent the locking nut from shifting horizontally into the slide rail. A cylinder 7 is located at the end of the slide rail 5 to push the locking nut into the positioning groove 4. The locking nut on the vibratory feeder's discharge channel is pushed through the notch into the slide rail, and the piston rod of the cylinder pushes the locking nut to the left positioning groove. The piston rod then retracts, and the first motor drives the turntable to rotate with the locking nut. The locking nut is now in the rear positioning groove, and the tapping machine performs tapping on the inner ring of the locking nut.

[0018] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 The piston rod end of cylinder 7 is connected to a push plate 8 that fits into slide rail 5, and a limit plate 9 is horizontally installed on the top of push plate 8. The cylinder drives the push plate to push the locking nut on the slide rail into the positioning groove, and the limit plate can prevent the locking nut from falling off during the pushing process.

[0019] The base 1 and slide rail 5 are equipped with retaining rings 10 to block the positioning groove 4. The retaining rings can block the rotating positioning groove to prevent the locking nut in the positioning groove from being thrown out by centrifugal force when the turntable rotates.

[0020] A second motor 11 is mounted on the base 1 facing downwards. A roller brush 12 for the roller brush positioning groove 4 is connected to the conveyor shaft of the second motor 11. The second motor is a servo motor. The second motor drives the roller brush to rotate, and the roller brush cleans the positioning groove on the left front side, thereby cleaning the debris on the positioning groove.

[0021] A bent plate is provided on the base 1, and a sensor 13 corresponding to the clearance hole is provided on the bent plate facing upward. The sensor corresponds to the clearance hole and positioning groove on the front side, and senses whether there is a locking nut left in the corresponding positioning groove.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
