Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective devices, and in particular to a protective device for a tapered head. Background Technology

[0002] Tapered heads, as key components in machining, are widely used in the tool connection parts of lathes, milling machines, and other equipment. Their machining accuracy and surface quality directly affect the workpiece forming effect. However, existing protective measures for tapered heads when not in use are significantly inadequate, specifically manifested in the following problems:

[0003] Lack of dedicated protective structure: In existing technologies, taper heads are usually placed directly exposed on workbenches or in toolboxes when not in use. Long-term exposure to air makes them susceptible to dust and oil contamination, leading to surface oxidation or rust. While simple cloth bags or plastic boxes are sometimes used for storage, they do not provide adequate protection for the unique shape of the taper head. Shaking or external impacts can cause the taper head to collide with the container's inner wall, resulting in wear on the taper surface or a decrease in accuracy.

[0004] Mixed storage leads to damage: Multiple taper heads are often stacked or mixed in the same container. There is a lack of isolation measures between taper heads of different specifications, and contact between them can easily cause scratches, bumps and other problems. Especially for high-precision taper heads, even slight damage to the taper surface and end threads can affect the positioning accuracy during processing, or even cause equipment malfunction.

[0005] Lack of cushioning and positioning functions: Existing storage devices are mostly rigid structures lacking cushioning design, making it difficult to absorb external vibration or impact energy during transportation or handling. This leads to stress concentration inside the tapered head, accelerating fatigue damage. In addition, traditional storage methods cannot stably position the tapered head, making it prone to rolling or tipping during handling, increasing operational risks.

[0006] In summary, existing technical solutions for tapered heads suffer from several drawbacks when not in use. The lack of a dedicated protective structure for placement, mixed storage leading to potential damage, and the prevalence of rigid storage devices lacking cushioning design all contribute to stress concentration within the tapered head during transportation or handling, accelerating fatigue damage. Utility Model Content

[0007] This application provides a protective device for tapered heads, which solves the technical problems in the prior art where tapered heads lack a dedicated protective structure for placement when not in use, are easily damaged by mixed storage, and are often stored in rigid structures without cushioning design, which can easily cause stress concentration inside the tapered head during transportation or handling, accelerating fatigue damage.

[0008] The technical solution adopted in the embodiments of this application is as follows:

[0009] A protective device for a tapered head includes a support base, an arc-shaped support groove for placing the tapered head, and a positioning mechanism for positioning the tapered head. The top of the support base has several sets of arc-shaped support grooves arranged in a linear array. Each set of arc-shaped support grooves has a positioning mechanism symmetrically arranged at both ends. Both ends of the support base have sliding grooves. A bent cover is slidably connected to each of the two sets of sliding grooves. A baffle is provided at the rear end of the support base to limit the sliding distance of the bent cover.

[0010] A further technical solution is as follows: the positioning mechanism includes a support plate, a stop for abutting the tapered head, and a buffer for buffering the stop; the support plate is provided with a number of buffers arranged in a linear array; each group of buffers is connected to the stop; the vertical surface of the stop is a right-angled triangle structure, and the inclined surface of the stop faces the arc-shaped support groove.

[0011] A further technical solution is as follows: the buffer includes a spring for buffering the stop and a telescopic rod for limiting the spring; the spring is arranged around the telescopic rod; the telescopic end of the telescopic rod is connected to the stop; and the other end of the telescopic rod is connected to the support plate.

[0012] A further technical solution is as follows: the positioning mechanism further includes damping pads; several sets of damping pads arranged in a linear array are provided on the inclined surface of the stop.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the arc-shaped support groove is provided with several sets of anti-slip pads arranged in an arc-shaped array.

[0014] A further technical solution is that a movable handle is provided on the top of the bent cover.

[0015] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0016] 1. By employing a support base, arc-shaped support groove, positioning mechanism, slide, bending cover, and baffle, the arc-shaped support groove, in conjunction with anti-slip pads, provides stable support for the tapered head, preventing rolling or sliding. The bending cover, when closed, creates a sealed space, preventing dust and oil contamination, thus addressing the lack of protective structure in existing technologies. The linear array of arc-shaped support grooves allows for independent storage of the tapered head, and the inclined clamping of the baffles ensures no contact between tapered heads of different specifications, eliminating the risk of scratches and impacts. A buffer composed of springs and telescopic rods absorbs external vibration energy, while damping pads increase contact surface friction; this dual action reduces stress concentration during transportation or handling, extending the service life of the tapered head. The slide groove and bending cover slide together, allowing for quick opening and closing via a moving handle. The baffle restricts the sliding position, ensuring stability when the protective cover is closed and improving retrieval efficiency. This device, through structural innovation, comprehensively solves the protection, isolation, and buffering problems during tapered head storage, significantly improving the safety of precision tool management.

[0021] This application provides a protective device for tapered heads, which solves the technical problems in the prior art where tapered heads lack a dedicated protective structure for placement when not in use, are easily damaged by mixed storage, and are often stored in rigid structures without cushioning design, which can easily cause stress concentration inside the tapered head during transportation or handling, accelerating fatigue damage.

[0022] The technical solution in this application is to solve the above problems, and the overall approach is as follows:

[0023] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] A protective device for a tapered head, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a support base 1, an arc-shaped support groove 2 for placing a tapered head, and a positioning mechanism 3 for positioning the tapered head. The top of the support base 1 has several sets of arc-shaped support grooves 2 arranged in a linear array. Each set of arc-shaped support grooves 2 has a positioning mechanism 3 arranged symmetrically at both ends. Both ends of the support base 1 have sliding grooves 11. Bending covers 12 are slidably connected to the two sets of sliding grooves 11. A baffle 13 is provided at the rear end of the support base 1 to limit the sliding distance of the bending covers 12.

[0025] The positioning mechanism 3 includes a support plate 31, a stop 32 for abutting against the tapered head, and a buffer member 33 for buffering the stop 32. Several sets of buffer members 33 are arranged in a linear array on the support plate 31. Each set of buffer members 33 is connected to a stop 32. The vertical surface of the stop 32 is a right-angled triangle, and the inclined surface of the stop 32 faces the arc-shaped support groove 2.

[0026] The buffer 33 includes a spring 331 for the buffer stop 32 and a telescopic rod 332 for limiting the spring 331. The spring 331 is arranged around the telescopic rod 332. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod 332 is connected to the stop 32. The other end of the telescopic rod 332 is connected to the support plate 31.

[0027] The positioning mechanism 3 also includes damping pads 34. Several sets of damping pads 34 arranged in a linear array are provided on the inclined surface of the stop block 32.

[0028] The arc-shaped support groove 2 contains several sets of anti-slip pads 21 arranged in an arc-shaped array.

[0029] A movable handle 121 is provided on the top of the bent cover 12.

[0030] The support base 1 is a cuboid structure with several sets of arc-shaped support grooves 2 arranged in a straight line on its top. The curvature of each set of arc-shaped support grooves 2 is adapted to the outer contour of the tapered head. Anti-slip pads 21 are embedded in the grooves and are arranged along the arc-shaped array. The surface of the anti-slip pads 21 is provided with rubber anti-slip texture. Positioning mechanisms 3 are symmetrically installed at both ends of each set of arc-shaped support grooves 2. The positioning mechanism 3 includes a support plate 31, a stop block 32, a buffer 33, and a damping pad 34. The support plate 31 is vertically fixed to the support base 1. The buffer 33 consists of a spring 331 and a telescopic rod 332 sleeved in the spring. One end of the telescopic rod 332 is connected to the support plate 31, and the other end is connected to the right-angled triangular stop block 32. The inclined surface of the stop block 32 faces the arc-shaped support groove 2, and multiple sets of damping pads 34 are bonded to the inclined surface. When the tapered head is placed into the arc-shaped support groove 2, its two ends are pressed by the inclined surface of the stop block 32. The spring 331 contracts and provides flexible clamping force through the damping pad 34 to avoid rigid collision. The support base 1 has sliding grooves 11 on both sides. The bending cover 12 is a U-shaped metal plate with both sides embedded in the sliding grooves 11 for sliding. The top of the bending cover 12 is welded with a moving handle 121. The rear end of the support base 1 is welded with a baffle 13 to limit the sliding stroke of the bending cover 12. When closed, it can completely cover the tapered head to prevent dust from entering.

[0031] The use of a support base 1, an arc-shaped support groove 2, a positioning mechanism 3, a sliding groove 11, a bending cover 12, and a baffle 13, along with the cooperation of the arc-shaped support groove 2 and the anti-slip pad 21, ensures stable support for the tapered head, preventing rolling or sliding. The bending cover 12, when closed, forms a sealed space, preventing dust and oil contamination and addressing the lack of protective structure in existing technologies. The linear array of arc-shaped support grooves 2 allows for independent storage of the tapered head, and the inclined clamping of the baffle 32 ensures no contact between tapered heads of different specifications, eliminating the risk of scratches and impacts. The buffer 33, composed of a spring 331 and a telescopic rod 332, absorbs external vibration energy, while the damping pad 34 increases contact surface friction. This dual action reduces stress concentration during transportation or handling, extending the service life of the tapered head. The sliding groove 11 and the bending cover 12 slide together, allowing for quick opening and closing via the moving handle 121. The baffle 13 restricts the sliding position, ensuring stability when the protective cover is closed and improving retrieval efficiency. This device, through structural innovation, comprehensively solves the problems of protection, isolation, and buffering when storing tapered heads, significantly improving the safety of precision tool management.
