Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tapping operation technology, and more specifically, it relates to a handheld vertical rapid tapping tool. Background Technology
[0002] Tapping, as a common metal processing method, is widely used. Manual tapping is the main means of manual operation and is suitable for the production of small and medium-sized workpieces. It has the advantages of low cost, flexible operation, and safety and reliability. Although the level of automatic tapping machines is constantly improving, manual tapping is still the main tapping method due to limitations in technology and cost.
[0003] Existing handheld tapping tools often struggle to ensure the tap is perpendicular to the workpiece surface during tapping, which can easily lead to tilted or irregular threads, affecting tapping effect and accuracy. In addition, taps may wear out or need to be replaced with different sizes during use. However, some handheld tapping tools have complicated tap replacement methods, requiring additional tools and time, which reduces work efficiency.
[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model is a handheld vertical rapid tapping tool, including a positioning plate, a positioning tube installed on the positioning plate, an auxiliary component slidably installed inside the positioning tube, a connecting structure installed at the lower end of the auxiliary component, a snap-fit component installed at the lower end of the connecting structure, and a fixing component installed on the positioning plate.
[0006] The snap-fit assembly is used to fix the tap, the connecting structure is used to snap different snap-fit assemblies to the auxiliary assembly, the auxiliary assembly is used to assist the tapping operation, and the fixing assembly can fix it to the steel plate to be tapped so that the device is in a fixed state.
[0007] The auxiliary components include a positioning rod, which is slidably fitted inside the positioning tube. An auxiliary rod is installed at the upper end of the positioning rod, and a positioning post is installed at the lower end of the positioning rod. The connecting structure is fixed on the positioning post.
[0008] A spring is mounted around the positioning rod, with the upper end of the spring in contact with the surface of the auxiliary rod and the lower end of the spring in contact with the upper surface of the positioning tube.
[0009] The connection structure includes a connecting sleeve and a plug rod. The upper end of the connecting sleeve is fitted onto the positioning post, and the plug rod is threaded through and installed on the upper end of the connecting sleeve so as to fix the connecting sleeve to the positioning post through the plug rod. A threaded post is installed on the lower end of the connecting sleeve.
[0010] The snap-fit assembly includes a clamping seat, the upper end of which is coaxially threaded onto a threaded post. The lower end of the clamping seat has multiple clamping slots evenly distributed, and a clamping block is installed in each clamping slot. The clamping block is an elastic element. The lower surface of the clamping seat is shaped like a frustum. A locking cap is threadedly connected to the lower end of the clamping seat.
[0011] The fixing component includes a magnetic base, a fixing rod mounted on the upper end of the magnetic base, and the fixing rod is mounted on the positioning plate.
[0012] A fixing seat is installed on the positioning plate, and a fixing rod is installed through the fixing seat. The fixing seat is used to lock the position of the positioning plate on the fixing rod.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This utility model uses a magnetic base to fix the device to the steel plate, which significantly improves the stability and accuracy of tapping operations. The strong magnetism generated by the magnetic base can quickly and firmly attract the steel plate, providing stable support for tapping. When the operator presses down the auxiliary rod, the spring compression drives the positioning column, connecting structure and snap-fit assembly to move down, so that the tap is accurately aligned with the tapping position, which can avoid tap deviation, ensure accurate tapping trajectory, greatly reduce scrap rate and significantly improve work efficiency.
[0015] 2. This utility model utilizes a modular snap-fit and threaded connection design to achieve quick tap replacement and multi-model compatibility. Removing the locking cap allows the clamping block to expand, easily inserting into the end of different tap models. Tightening the locking cap then compresses the clamping block, forming a secure clamp. Simultaneously, the snap-fit seat, connecting sleeve, and positioning post are fixed together by threads and insert rods, allowing for flexible replacement of the snap-fit components. This further expands the diversity of compatible taps, simplifying the tap replacement process, shortening tool change time, and meeting the processing needs of different thread specifications, thus improving the tool's versatility and practicality.
[0016] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-5 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 As shown:
[0025] This embodiment provides a handheld vertical rapid tapping tool, including a positioning plate 1, a positioning tube 2 installed on the positioning plate 1, an auxiliary component 3 slidably installed inside the positioning tube 2, a connecting structure 4 installed at the lower end of the auxiliary component 3, a snap-fit component 5 installed at the lower end of the connecting structure 4, and a fixing component 6 installed on the positioning plate 1.
[0026] The snap-fit component 5 is used to fix the tap, the connecting structure 4 is used to snap different snap-fit components 5 to the auxiliary component 3, the auxiliary component 3 is used to assist the tapping operation, and the fixing component 6 can be fixed to the steel plate to be tapped so that the device is in a fixed state.
[0027] First, according to the specific tapping requirements, fix the appropriate size tap onto the snap-fit assembly 5. The snap-fit assembly 5 can firmly fix the tap. Then, use the connecting structure 4 to snap the snap-fit assembly 5 with the tap onto the auxiliary assembly 3, so that the snap-fit and disassembly operations can be completed quickly, improving work efficiency.
[0028] During tapping operations, the steel plate to be tapped is placed in a suitable working position. The positioning plate 1 is fixed to the steel plate by the fixing component 6, so that the tap and the tapping position of the steel plate correspond, thus keeping the entire device in a fixed state and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the tapping operation. During the tapping stage, the operator can hold the auxiliary component 3 and move it downwards until the tap contacts the steel plate. Then, the operator can rotate the auxiliary component 3 to make the tap rotate and tap the steel plate. After the tapping operation is completed, the auxiliary component 3 can move upwards autonomously without external interference, automatically moving the tap upwards on the steel plate. The advantage of this is that after the tapping operation is completed, the locking component 5 and the tap return to their initial positions, making it convenient for the operator to replace the locking component 5 and the tap.
[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the auxiliary component 3 includes a positioning rod 7, which is slidably fitted inside the positioning tube 2. An auxiliary rod 8 is installed at the upper end of the positioning rod 7, and a positioning post 9 is installed at the lower end of the positioning rod 7. The connecting structure 4 is fixed on the positioning post 9. A spring 10 is installed around the positioning rod 7. The upper end of the spring 10 contacts the surface of the auxiliary rod 8, and the lower end of the spring 10 contacts the upper surface of the positioning tube 2. By holding the auxiliary rod 8, the operator first moves the positioning rod 7 downward, compressing the spring 10, which in turn moves the positioning post 9, the connecting structure 4, and the snap-fit component 5 downward, so that the tap installed on the snap-fit component 5 contacts the steel plate. Then, by rotating the auxiliary rod 8, the tap performs tapping operations on the steel plate. After the tapping operation is completed, when the operator no longer applies external force to the auxiliary rod 8, the spring 10 will release its elasticity, thereby driving the snap-fit component 5 and the tap back to their initial positions for easy replacement.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the connecting structure 4 includes a connecting sleeve 11 and a plug rod 12. The upper end of the connecting sleeve 11 is fitted onto the positioning post 9, and the plug rod 12 is threaded through and installed on the upper end of the connecting sleeve 11 to fix the connecting sleeve 11 to the positioning post 9. A threaded post 20 is installed on the lower end of the connecting sleeve 11, and the snap-fit component 5 is installed on the connecting sleeve 11 through the threaded post 20. This allows different snap-fit components 5 to be installed on the threaded post 20 according to the required tap model, thereby further improving the diversity of tap selection and practicality. When it is necessary to install the snap-fit component 5 onto the positioning post 9, the snap-fit component 5 is threaded onto the connecting sleeve 11, and then the connecting sleeve 11 is fitted onto the positioning post 9. The plug rod 12 is threaded through the connecting sleeve 11, so that the plug rod 12 is threaded through and installed on the connecting sleeve 11 and the positioning post 9, thereby fixing the connecting sleeve 11 to the positioning post 9, thus completing the installation of the snap-fit component 5 and achieving a stable connection between the snap-fit component 5 and the connecting structure 4.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the snap-fit assembly 5 includes a clamping seat 13. The upper end of the clamping seat 13 is coaxially threaded onto the threaded post 20. Multiple clamping grooves 14 are evenly distributed at the lower end of the clamping seat 13. A clamping block 15 is installed in each clamping groove 14. The clamping block 15 is an elastic element. The lower surface of the clamping seat 13 is frustum-shaped. A locking cap 16 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the clamping seat 13. When a tap needs to be installed onto the snap-fit assembly, the locking cap 16 is removed by thread removal. Because the clamping block 15 is an elastic element, its material includes, but is not limited to, rubber. At this time, the clamping block 15 will clamp... The groove 14 expands outward to increase the internal space at the lower end of the clamping seat, facilitating tap insertion. After the tap's shank is inserted into the lower end of the clamping seat, the locking cap 16 is screwed onto the clamping seat 13. Because the lower end of the clamping seat 13 is frustoconical, as the locking cap 16 is gradually tightened, its inner wall compresses the clamping block 15, causing it to deform and clamp the inserted tap. This securely fixes the tap to the lower end of the clamping seat, allowing for quick replacement of different tap models onto the clamping seat and improving usability.
[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the fixing component 6 includes a magnetic base 17, with a fixing rod 18 mounted on the upper end of the magnetic base 17. The fixing rod 18 is mounted on the positioning plate 1, and a fixing seat 19 is mounted on the positioning plate 1. The fixing rod 18 is inserted through the fixing seat 19, which is used to lock the position of the positioning plate 1 on the fixing rod 18. The magnetic base 17 is placed on the steel plate so that the tap corresponds to the tapping position. Then, the magnetic force of the magnetic base 17 is activated to quickly and firmly fix it to the steel plate, thereby making the entire device and the steel plate fixed, which can improve the stability and accuracy of the tapping operation. At the same time, by unlocking the fixing seat 19, the height of the positioning plate 1 can be changed at will on the fixing rod 18. After changing to the required height, the position of the positioning plate 1 can be fixed by locking the fixing seat 19, so that the position between the tap and the steel plate is adjustable to meet diverse work requirements.
[0033] The working principle of the handheld vertical rapid tapping tool provided by this utility model is as follows: The magnetic base 17 is placed on the steel plate so that the tap corresponds to the tapping position. Then, the magnetic force of the magnetic base 17 is activated to quickly and firmly fix it to the steel plate. Then, the operator holds the auxiliary rod 8 and first moves the positioning rod 7 downward, which compresses the spring 10, thereby moving the positioning post 9, the connecting structure 4 and the snap-fit assembly 5 downward, so that the tap installed on the snap-fit assembly 5 comes into contact with the steel plate. Then, by rotating the auxiliary rod 8, the tap performs tapping operations on the steel plate, which can improve the stability and accuracy of the tapping operation, and also improve the work efficiency. When the tapping operation is completed, the operator no longer applies external force to the auxiliary rod 8, and the spring 10 will release its elastic force to drive the snap-fit assembly 5 and the tap back to the initial position, so that the operator can replace the tap and the snap-fit assembly 5.
[0034] When it is necessary to replace the appropriate tap and snap-fit assembly 5 according to the tapping requirements, firstly, remove the locking cap 16 from the snap-fit seat by unscrewing it, so that the clamping block 15 expands outward in the clamping groove 14, increasing the internal space at the lower end of the snap-fit seat. Then, insert the tap rod end into the snap-fit seat. Next, tighten the locking cap 16 onto the clamping seat 13 by screwing it on. As the locking cap 16 is gradually tightened, the inner wall of the locking cap 16 will squeeze the clamping block 15, causing the clamping block 15 to deform and clamp the inserted tap, thus completing the snap-fit installation between the tap and the snap-fit seat. Then, install the snap-fit seat onto the connecting sleeve 11 through the threaded post 20, and fit the connecting sleeve 11 onto the positioning post 9. Use the insertion rod 12 to fix the connecting sleeve 11 and the positioning post 9, thus completing the connection between the tap and the positioning rod 7. This allows the device to replace various types of taps onto the positioning rod 7 for tapping operations.
[0035] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0036] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
