Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shock absorber manufacturing technology, and in particular to a processing device for the outer tube of a motorcycle shock absorber. Background Technology
[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Motorcycle shock absorbers are an important component of the motorcycle suspension system. Their main function is to reduce and absorb impacts and vibrations from the road surface, thereby improving riding comfort and vehicle handling stability.
[0004] The current production process for motorcycle shock absorber outer tubes has significant drawbacks. During production, the required length is first cut from a large section of raw tubing using a lathe. Then, one end of the cut tubing is enlarged using a boring machine to allow the end cap to be installed. Finally, the tubes are assembled through welding. The cutting and boring operations are performed on two different machine tools, requiring multiple positioning and fixing of the tubing, resulting in a cumbersome process and low production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a processing device for the outer tube of a motorcycle shock absorber, thereby improving processing efficiency.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a processing device for the outer cylinder of a motorcycle shock absorber, comprising:
[0007] The clamping and rotating mechanism is mounted on the bed and is used to clamp the pipe to be processed and drive the pipe to rotate.
[0008] The cutting mechanism, mounted on the bed, is used to drive the cutting tool to move along the X-axis of the bed towards the side closer to and away from the workpiece to be processed;
[0009] The support mechanism includes a Y-axis linear module mounted on the bed and a hollow column that moves along the axis of the tube to be processed driven by the Y-axis linear module. Multiple top support components are movably mounted on the hollow column. An adjustment component is also provided on the hollow column to push the top support components to abut against the tube to be processed when the top support components move into the tube to be processed.
[0010] The boring assembly is located at one end of the hollow column near the clamping and rotating mechanism, and can be driven by the adjusting assembly to move towards or away from the inner wall of the pipe to be processed.
[0011] Furthermore, the top support assembly includes a slider slidably disposed on the hollow column, the slider being provided with a limiting block inserted into the hollow column, the limiting block being used to prevent the slider from completely separating from the hollow column, and the side of the slider that contacts the tube to be processed being provided with a plurality of balls for reducing the rotational resistance of the tube to be processed.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a push rod inserted into the hollow column and capable of moving along the axis of the hollow column, and a telescopic component disposed on the Y-axis linear module. The telescopic component is used to push the push rod to move along the axis of the hollow column.
[0013] The slider is T-shaped, and the push rod is provided with a slot for the slider to be inserted. The slot is provided with an inclined surface for pushing the slider to move closer to the tube to be processed when the push rod moves away from the clamping and rotating mechanism.
[0014] Furthermore, the boring assembly includes a guide component disposed at one end of the hollow column near the clamping and rotating mechanism, and a boring tool component capable of moving up and down along the guide component.
[0015] The guiding component includes a guide rod and stops located at both ends of the guide rod, wherein one of the stops is connected to the hollow column;
[0016] The boring tool component includes a tool body sleeved on a guide rod, and a push block is provided on the side of the tool body near the push rod. The boring tool component also includes a pressing block provided on the side of the push rod near the push block. When the pressing block moves towards the side near the push block, it can push the push block upward.
[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a support frame disposed on the bed and located between the Y-axis linear module and the clamping rotation mechanism, the support frame being provided with a through hole for the hollow column to pass through.
[0018] Furthermore, the lifting frame is provided with an inclined guide plate located at the bottom of the hollow column on the side near the clamping and rotating mechanism. The inclined guide plate is used to guide the cut pipe to move outward from the bed.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:
[0020] This invention utilizes a clamping and rotating mechanism on a machine bed to clamp the pipe to be processed. A support mechanism drives a boring assembly to move towards one end of the pipe, allowing the boring assembly to bore one end of the pipe diameter during rotation. Then, the support mechanism inserts the assembly into the pipe, and an adjusting component pushes a top support assembly to abut against the pipe, supporting the end of the pipe furthest from the cutting point. This ensures that both ends of the pipe are supported during the cutting process, allowing for stable removal. Since both boring and cutting operations are completed on a single machine, repeated positioning is unnecessary, thus improving processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a processing device for the outer tube of a motorcycle shock absorber, comprising:
[0029] The clamping and rotating mechanism 1 is mounted on the bed and is used to clamp the pipe to be processed and drive the pipe to rotate.
[0030] The cutting mechanism 2 is mounted on the bed and is used to drive the cutting tool to move along the X-axis of the bed towards the side closer to and away from the tube to be processed.
[0031] The support mechanism 3 includes a Y-axis linear module 31 mounted on the bed and a hollow column 32 that moves along the axis of the tube to be processed driven by the Y-axis linear module 31. Multiple top support components 33 are movably mounted on the hollow column 32. An adjustment component 34 is also provided on the hollow column 32 to push the top support components 33 to abut against the tube to be processed when the top support components 33 move into the tube to be processed.
[0032] The boring assembly 4 is located at one end of the hollow column 32 near the clamping and rotating mechanism 1, and can be driven by the adjusting assembly 34 to move towards or away from the inner wall of the pipe to be processed.
[0033] This invention utilizes a clamping and rotating mechanism 1 on the machine bed to clamp the pipe to be processed. A support mechanism 3 drives a boring assembly 4 to move towards one end of the pipe, allowing the boring assembly 4 to bore one end of the pipe diameter during the pipe's rotation. Then, the support mechanism 3 inserts the assembly into the pipe, and an adjusting assembly 34 pushes a top support assembly 33 to abut against the pipe, supporting the end of the pipe away from the cutting point. This ensures that both ends of the pipe are supported during the cutting process, allowing the pipe to be stably cut. Since both boring and cutting operations are completed on a single machine, repeated positioning is unnecessary, thus improving processing efficiency.
[0034] It should be noted that the clamping and rotating mechanism 1 and the cutting mechanism 2 are common knowledge in this field, so their specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0035] In one embodiment, the top support assembly 33 includes a slider slidably disposed on the hollow column 32. The slider is provided with a limiting block (not shown in the figure) inserted into the hollow column 32. The limiting block is used to prevent the slider from completely separating from the hollow column 32. A plurality of balls are provided on the side of the slider that contacts the tube to be processed to reduce the rotational resistance of the tube to be processed.
[0036] This design ensures that when the slider moves closer to the tube to be processed, the ball bearings will first contact and abut against the tube to be processed. This allows the tube to be processed to be supported by the top support component 33 and kept at the required processing height. At the same time, because the ball bearings can rotate on their own, they will not obstruct the rotation of the tube to be processed during cutting.
[0037] In one embodiment, the adjustment assembly 34 includes a push rod 341 inserted into the hollow column 32 and movable along the axial direction of the hollow column 32, and a telescopic component 342 disposed on the Y-axis linear module 31. The telescopic component 342 is used to push the push rod 341 to move along the axial direction of the hollow column 32.
[0038] The slider is T-shaped, and the push rod 341 is provided with a slot for the slider to be inserted. The slot is provided with an inclined surface for pushing the slider to move closer to the tube to be processed when the push rod 341 moves away from the clamping and rotating mechanism 1.
[0039] With this design, the telescopic component 342 pushes the push rod 341 to move away from the clamping and rotating mechanism 1, so that the slider can be pushed by the inclined surface on the push rod 341 to move closer to the pipe to be processed. By changing the pushing distance of the telescopic component 342, the purpose of supporting pipes of different diameters to be processed can be achieved.
[0040] It should be noted that the telescopic component 342 can be a hydraulic telescopic component, a pneumatic telescopic component, or an electric telescopic component, all of which are common knowledge in the field. Therefore, its specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this article.
[0041] In one embodiment, the boring assembly 4 includes a guide member 41 disposed on one end of the hollow column 32 near the clamping and rotating mechanism 1, and a boring tool member 42 that can move up and down along the guide member 41.
[0042] The guide component 41 includes a guide rod and stops located at both ends of the guide rod, one of which is connected to the hollow column 32;
[0043] The boring tool component 42 includes a tool body 421 sleeved on the guide rod. A push block 422 is provided on the side of the tool body 421 near the push rod 341. The boring tool component 42 also includes a pressing block 423 provided on the side of the push rod 341 near the push block 422. When the pressing block 423 moves towards the side near the push block 422, it can push the push block 422 upward.
[0044] This design allows the telescopic component 342 to push the extrusion block 423 to move closer to the push block 422, thereby pushing the push block 422 upward, so that the blade 421 abuts against the pipe to be processed, and the inner ring of the pipe to be processed is bored during the rotation of the pipe.
[0045] It should be noted that when the extrusion block 423 separates from the push block 422, the blade 421 can fall due to gravity, and the blade 421 will not exceed the outer ring area of the hollow column 32. This ensures that when the hollow column 32 is inserted into the tube to be processed, it avoids contact with the tube to be processed, thus ensuring that the cutting operation of the tube to be processed is not affected in this state.
[0046] In one embodiment, a lifting frame 5 is also provided on the bed and located between the Y-axis linear module 31 and the clamping rotation mechanism 1. The lifting frame 5 is provided with a through hole for the hollow column 32 to pass through.
[0047] This design utilizes the support frame 5 to provide support for the middle section of the hollow column 32, further improving the stability of the hollow column 32's movement.
[0048] In one embodiment, the lifting frame 5 is provided with an inclined guide plate located at the bottom of the hollow column 32 on the side near the clamping and rotating mechanism 1. The inclined guide plate is used to guide the cut tube to move outward from the bed.
[0049] This design allows the cut tube column to move away from the clamping and rotating mechanism 1 when the hollow column 32 moves it. The cut tube column will be unable to continue moving due to the obstruction of the lifting frame 5. This allows the cut tube column to fall downward onto the inclined guide plate after the hollow column 32 is completely removed from the cut tube column. The cut tube column is then discharged from the bed by the guidance of the inclined guide plate, thus achieving automatic unloading of the cut tube column.
[0050] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.
[0051] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0052] Additionally, "multiple" refers to two or more.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
