Abstract
Description
A punching device for manufacturing Rubik's Cube sockets Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Rubik's Cube socket production technology, specifically a punching device for producing Rubik's Cube sockets. Background Technology
[0002] The Rubik's Cube socket is a multi-functional socket with a three-dimensional design. Its shape resembles a Rubik's Cube, and it makes efficient use of space through the multi-faceted layout of sockets. During the production process of the Rubik's Cube socket, it is necessary to perform a punching process.
[0003] A Chinese patent with announcement number CN215545091U discloses a drilling device for smart socket production, including a drilling device body. A connecting column is movably connected to the inner wall of the drilling device body. Two sets of No. 1 support columns are detachably connected to both ends of the outer wall of the connecting column. A base is movably connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the No. 1 support column. Four sets of shock-absorbing mechanisms are fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the base. This invention describes a drilling device for smart socket production. A fixed square ring is used to install the socket to be drilled, and then the drilling device body drills holes in the socket. The waste generated during drilling enters the interior of a filling bag through a channel. The shock-absorbing springs reduce the vibration generated by the drilling device body during operation, minimizing the impact of vibration and bringing better application prospects to the field of smart socket production technology.
[0004] The aforementioned punching device for socket production can only punch holes on one side of the socket panel, requiring multiple clamping operations to complete multi-sided processing, resulting in low punching efficiency. Furthermore, the existing punching device cannot quickly change the punching die head, requiring the replacement of the punching equipment when producing socket panels of different specifications or hole types, making it difficult to adapt to the production needs of multiple varieties. Therefore, a punching device for producing Rubik's Cube sockets is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and solve the problems mentioned in the background, this utility model proposes a punching device for producing Rubik's Cube sockets.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A punching device for producing Rubik's Cube sockets according to this utility model includes a base, T-shaped slide rails are fixed on both sides of the top of the base, and movable plates are slidably mounted on the two T-shaped slide rails. A first motor is installed on each movable plate, and a rotating wheel is installed on the output end of the first motor. Two connecting seats are fixed on the rotating wheel, and different punching die heads are fixed on the two connecting seats respectively. The two different punching die heads are the first punching die head and the second punching die head. A positioning insertion hole is opened on each connecting seat, and the same positioning insertion hole is opened on the movable plate. A positioning insertion rod is inserted into the positioning insertion hole on the movable plate. When it is necessary to produce Rubik's Cube sockets of different specifications or hole types, different punching die heads need to be replaced. Through the operation of the first motor, the rotating wheel drives the connecting seat and the punching die head on it to rotate. When the punching die head to be replaced rotates to the bottom, the first motor stops operating, thereby realizing the rapid replacement of punching die heads, meeting the production needs of Rubik's Cube sockets of different specifications or hole types, and significantly improving the flexibility of production.
[0007] After the punching die head is replaced, the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole to further fix the punching die head, prevent it from loosening, strengthen its stability, and ensure the stability and reliability of the punching operation.
[0008] Preferably, upright plates are fixed to both sides of the base, and the two upright plates are respectively located at one end of two T-shaped slide rails. A pneumatic cylinder is installed on each of the two upright plates. The working end of the pneumatic cylinder is equipped with a pneumatic rod, and the other end of the pneumatic rod is fixed to the movable plate. When punching the Rubik's Cube socket, the pneumatic cylinder is activated, causing the movable plate to drive the punching die head to move towards the Rubik's Cube socket housing. Under the punching pressure of the punching die head, the punching operation on both sides of the Rubik's Cube socket housing can be completed simultaneously.
[0009] Preferably, the base has an installation groove, in which a rotating column is rotatably installed. The top of the rotating column passes through the top side of the base, and a rotating placement disk is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column. A first gear is fitted at the bottom of the rotating column, and a second motor is installed on the bottom side of the base. A second gear is installed at the output end of the second motor, and the second gear meshes with the first gear. When punching the other two sides, the second motor is started, causing the second gear to drive the first gear to rotate, forcing the rotating column to drive the rotating placement disk and the pressed and fixed Rubik's Cube socket housing to rotate. This enables the rapid changing of the Rubik's Cube socket housing, facilitating the punching of the other two sides. By repeating the above punching operation, the other two sides of the Rubik's Cube socket housing can be punched, enabling rapid completion of multi-sided punching operations and greatly improving punching efficiency.
[0010] Preferably, a fixing frame is installed on one side wall of the base, and an electric push rod is installed on the top side of the fixing frame. A pressing plate is rotatably installed on the actuating end of the electric push rod. Before the punching operation, the cube socket housing to be punched is first placed on the rotating placement plate. Then, the electric push rod is activated to move the pressing plate down to contact the top side of the cube socket housing, thereby effectively pressing and fixing the cube socket housing to prevent displacement during the subsequent punching process and ensuring the subsequent punching accuracy.
[0011] Preferably, a control panel is installed on one side wall of the base, and the control panel is used to control the start and stop of the pneumatic cylinder, the first motor, the second motor and the electric push rod. When using the device, the control panel integrates the start and stop functions of the pneumatic cylinder, the first motor, the second motor and the electric push rod into one, and realizes the collaborative operation of multiple devices through a single interface.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. When punching a Rubik's Cube socket, this utility model activates a pneumatic cylinder, causing a movable plate to move the punching die head toward the Rubik's Cube socket housing. Under the punching pressure of the punching die head, punching operations on both sides of the Rubik's Cube socket housing can be completed simultaneously. When punching the other two sides, a second motor is activated, causing the second gear to drive the first gear to rotate, forcing the rotating column to drive the rotating placement plate and the pressed and fixed Rubik's Cube socket housing to rotate. This enables the rapid changing of the Rubik's Cube socket housing, facilitating punching operations on the other two sides. This allows for the rapid completion of multi-sided punching operations, greatly improving punching efficiency.
[0014] 2. When producing Rubik's Cube sockets of different specifications or hole types, this utility model requires changing different punching die heads. The first motor operates to make the rotating wheel drive the connecting seat and the punching die head on it to rotate. When the punching die head to be replaced rotates to the bottom, the first motor stops operating, thereby realizing the rapid replacement of the punching die head, meeting the production needs of Rubik's Cube sockets of different specifications or hole types, and significantly improving the flexibility of production.

[0023] 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 some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 5-6. A punching device for producing a Rubik's Cube socket includes a base 1. T-shaped slide rails 2 are fixed on both sides of the top of the base 1. Movable plates 3 are slidably mounted on both T-shaped slide rails 2. A first motor 4 is mounted on each movable plate 3. A rotating wheel 5 is mounted on the output end of the first motor 4. Two connecting seats 6 are fixed on the rotating wheel 5. Different punching die heads are fixed to the two connecting seats 6 respectively. The two different punching die heads are a first punching die head 7 and a second punching die head 8. A positioning insertion hole 9 is opened on each connecting seat 6, and a positioning insertion hole 9 is opened on the movable plate 3. The same positioning socket 9 is used to insert a positioning rod 10 into the positioning socket 9 on the movable plate 3. During operation, when it is necessary to produce Rubik's Cube sockets of different specifications or hole types, different punching die heads need to be replaced. The first motor 4 operates to make the rotating wheel 5 rotate. The rotating wheel 5 drives the connecting seat 6 and the punching die head on it to rotate. When the punching die head to be replaced rotates to the bottom, the first motor 4 stops operating, thereby realizing the rapid replacement of the punching die head, meeting the production needs of Rubik's Cube sockets of different specifications or hole types, and significantly improving the flexibility of production.
[0025] After the punching die head is replaced, the positioning rod 10 is inserted into the positioning hole 9 to further fix the punching die head, prevent the punching die head from loosening, strengthen the stability of the punching die head, and ensure the stability and reliability of the punching operation.
[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4. Both sides of the base 1 are fixedly connected to upright plates 11, with each upright plate 11 located at one end of a T-shaped slide rail 2. A pneumatic cylinder 12 is mounted on each upright plate 11. The working end of the pneumatic cylinder 12 is fitted with a pneumatic rod 13, and the other end of the pneumatic rod 13 is fixedly connected to a movable plate 3. A control panel 22 is installed on one side wall of the base 1. The control panel 22 is used to control the start and stop of the pneumatic cylinder 12, the first motor 4, the second motor 17, and the electric push rod 20. During operation, after the cube socket housing is pressed and fixed, when punching the cube socket, the pneumatic cylinder 12 is activated. With the cooperation of the T-shaped slide rail 2, the pneumatic rod 13 pushes the movable plate 3 to move stably, thereby causing the movable plate 3 to move the punching die head towards the cube socket housing. Under the punching pressure of the punching die head, punching operations on both sides of the cube socket housing can be completed simultaneously.
[0027] The base 1 has an installation groove 14, in which a rotating column is rotatably mounted. The top of the rotating column passes through the top side of the base 1. A rotating placement disk 15 is fixed to the top of the rotating column, and a first gear 16 is fitted at the bottom of the rotating column. A second motor 17 is mounted on the bottom side of the base 1, and a second gear 18 is mounted at the output end of the second motor 17. The second gear 18 meshes with the first gear 16. During operation, when punching the other two sides, the second motor 17 is started, causing the second gear 18 to rotate. This forces the first gear 16 to drive the rotating column to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating placement disk 15 and the pressed and fixed Rubik's Cube socket housing to rotate. This allows for quick face-changing of the Rubik's Cube socket housing, facilitating punching operations on the other two sides. By repeating the above punching operation, punching operations can be performed on the other two sides of the Rubik's Cube socket housing, enabling rapid completion of multi-face punching operations and greatly improving punching efficiency.
[0028] A fixing bracket 19 is installed on one side wall of the base 1, and an electric push rod 20 is installed on the top side of the fixing bracket 19. A pressing plate 21 is rotatably installed on the actuating end of the electric push rod 20. During operation, when punching the Rubik's Cube socket, the Rubik's Cube socket shell to be punched is first placed on the rotating placement plate 15. Then, the electric push rod 20 is activated, causing the pressing plate 21 to move down to contact the top side of the Rubik's Cube socket shell, thereby effectively pressing and fixing the Rubik's Cube socket shell to prevent displacement during the subsequent punching process and ensuring the subsequent punching accuracy.
[0029] Working Principle: The aforementioned punching devices for socket production can only punch holes on one side of the socket panel, requiring multiple clamping operations to complete multi-sided processing, resulting in low punching efficiency. Furthermore, existing punching devices cannot quickly change the punching die head; when producing socket panels of different specifications or hole types, the punching equipment must be changed, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of multi-variety production. Therefore, to address these problems, a punching device for Rubik's Cube socket production is proposed. When punching a Rubik's Cube socket, the socket shell to be punched is first placed on the rotating placement plate 15. Then, the electric push rod 20 is activated, causing the pressing plate 21 to move down to contact the top side of the Rubik's Cube socket shell, effectively pressing and fixing the shell to prevent displacement during subsequent punching, ensuring punching accuracy. After setting, when performing the punching operation, the pneumatic cylinder 12 is activated. With the cooperation of the T-shaped slide rail 2, the pneumatic rod 13 pushes the movable plate 3 to move stably. In turn, the movable plate 3 drives the punching die head to move towards the Rubik's Cube socket housing. Under the punching pressure of the punching die head, the punching operation on both sides of the Rubik's Cube socket housing can be completed simultaneously. When punching the other two sides, the second motor 17 is activated, causing the second gear 18 to rotate. This forces the first gear 16 to drive the rotating column to rotate. The rotating column drives the rotating placement plate 15 and the pressed and fixed Rubik's Cube socket housing to rotate, thereby enabling the rapid changing of the Rubik's Cube socket housing, which facilitates the punching operation on the other two sides. By repeating the above punching operation, the other two sides of the Rubik's Cube socket housing can be punched, which can quickly complete the multi-sided punching operation and greatly improve the punching efficiency.
[0030] When it is necessary to produce Rubik's Cube sockets of different specifications or hole types, different punching die heads need to be changed. The first motor 4 operates to make the rotating wheel 5 rotate, and the rotating wheel 5 drives the connecting seat 6 and the punching die head on it to rotate. When the punching die head to be replaced rotates to the bottom, the first motor 4 stops operating, thereby realizing the rapid replacement of punching die heads, meeting the production needs of Rubik's Cube sockets of different specifications or hole types, and significantly improving the flexibility of production.
[0031] After the punching die head is replaced, the positioning rod 10 is inserted into the positioning hole 9 to further fix the punching die head, prevent the punching die head from loosening, strengthen the stability of the punching die head, and ensure the stability and reliability of the punching operation.
