Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hardware processing technology, specifically to an automated hardware processing tapping machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the booming development of modern manufacturing, hardware components, as an important part of many mechanical products, electronic products and daily necessities, directly affect the competitiveness of the entire industrial chain through their processing quality and production efficiency.
[0003] Hardware components come in a wide variety, encompassing screws, nuts, washers, hinges, and other products, and are widely used in numerous fields such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, electronic equipment, and architectural decoration. Tapping, as a key process in hardware component manufacturing, aims to create internal threads on the surface of hardware components to achieve a tight connection with other parts, ensuring the stability and functionality of the product structure.
[0004] Traditional metal parts processing tapping technology mainly relies on semi-automatic or manual tapping equipment. In the traditional processing mode, tapping machines usually require manual loading. Workers need to place the metal parts to be processed one by one on the designated station of the tapping machine. Under long-term high-intensity work conditions, fatigue will gradually accumulate, resulting in a decrease in loading speed and thus reducing work efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the applicant needs to design an automated metal parts tapping machine to solve the problem. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated hardware tapping machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated hardware parts tapping machine, comprising a support plate, a support column on the support plate, and a tapping machine body mounted on the support column.
[0008] It also includes: a conveying mechanism disposed above the support plate, which is used to convey the hardware parts to the lower part of the tapping machine body. The conveying mechanism includes a fixed base fixedly connected to the support plate, and a guide is fixedly disposed on the fixed base. A hydraulic cylinder is disposed on the guide, and a telescopic rod is fixedly disposed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. A fixed plate is fixedly disposed on the telescopic rod away from the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. A push plate is disposed on the fixed plate for pushing the hardware parts to move in a directional manner along the guide. A guide groove is disposed on the fixed base, and a feeding component is disposed on the guide groove. The feeding component is used to push the hardware parts to move.
[0009] Furthermore, a second hydraulic cylinder is provided on the guide groove, and a clamping block is provided at the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder, which is used to clamp the hardware.
[0010] With the above structural design, the clamping block and the guide component together form a guide area during use, which facilitates the directional movement of the hardware. When the hardware moves to the bottom of the tapping machine body, the hydraulic cylinder is activated to push the clamping block to clamp the hardware, which facilitates the stable processing of the hardware.
[0011] Furthermore, the feeding component includes a mounting plate that is slidably connected to the guide groove, and the mounting plate is provided with a rubber pusher adapted to the guide groove.
[0012] Through the above structural design, the sliding of the mounting plate will drive the rubber pusher to move, and the movement of the rubber pusher will push the hardware to move in a directional manner in the guide groove.
[0013] Furthermore, a fixing block is fixedly installed on the mounting plate, and a lead screw is provided inside the fixing block. A servo motor is provided at one end of the lead screw, and the servo motor is fixedly connected to the guide groove.
[0014] With the above structural design, when in use, the servo motor starts and drives the lead screw to rotate, the lead screw rotates and drives the fixed block to move, and the fixed block moves and drives the mounting plate to slide on the guide groove, making operation convenient.
[0015] Furthermore, a stabilizing seat is rotatably provided at the end of the lead screw away from the servo motor, and the stabilizing seat is fixedly connected to the guide groove.
[0016] The above structural design allows for easy support of the lead screw via a stabilizing base, thereby improving the stability and smoothness of the lead screw's rotation.
[0017] Furthermore, a support frame is fixedly installed below the support plate, and support feet are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the support frame.
[0018] The above structural design utilizes support feet and support frames to facilitate the support plate, thereby improving the stability of the support plate.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the automated hardware processing tapping machine is easy to automatically feed using a conveying mechanism, and has high working efficiency. The specific details are as follows:
[0020] When in use, this automated metal parts processing and tapping machine uses a feeding component to push the metal parts into the guide component. Then, hydraulic cylinder one is activated, which moves a telescopic rod. The telescopic rod moves a fixed plate, which in turn moves a push plate. The push plate then uses the guide component to push the metal parts under the tapping machine body. Next, hydraulic cylinder two is activated, which moves a clamping block. The clamping block securely holds the metal parts, facilitating processing and improving work efficiency.
[0021] When using this automated metal parts processing and tapping machine, several metal parts are placed in the guide groove, and the servo motor is started. The servo motor starts, which drives the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw drives the fixed block to move. The movement of the fixed block drives the mounting plate to slide on the guide groove. The sliding of the mounting plate drives the rubber pusher block to move. The movement of the rubber pusher block pushes the metal parts to move in the guide groove, making it easy to push the metal parts into the guide. It is easy to operate and has high work efficiency.

A guide groove 26 is installed on the fixed base 20, and a feeding component 29 is installed on the guide groove 26 for pushing the hardware to move.
[0029] A hydraulic cylinder 27 is provided on the guide groove 26. A clamping block 28 is provided at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 27, and the clamping block 28 is used to clamp the hardware.
[0030] With the above structural design, during use, the feeding component 29 pushes the hardware into the guide component 21, and then the hydraulic cylinder 22 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 22 will drive the telescopic rod 23 to move, which will drive the fixed plate 24 to move. The fixed plate 24 will drive the push plate 25 to move. The push plate 25 will facilitate the use of the guide component 21 to push the hardware to the bottom of the tapping machine body 11. Then the hydraulic cylinder 27 is activated, which will drive the clamping block 28 to move. The clamping block 28 will firmly clamp the hardware, making it easier to process the hardware and thus improving work efficiency.
[0031] The feeding component 29 includes a mounting plate 290 that is slidably connected to the guide groove 26, and a rubber push block 291 adapted to the guide groove 26 is provided on the mounting plate 290.
