[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drilling equipment technology, specifically an automated drilling equipment for hardware parts. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing, cylindrical hardware parts are widely used in machinery manufacturing, automotive industry, aerospace and other fields. The curved wall drilling of these parts is a critical step in the production process, and its processing quality and efficiency directly affect the overall performance and production cycle of the product. Traditional methods for drilling curved walls of cylindrical hardware parts mainly rely on manual operation of drilling equipment, which has many drawbacks: Firstly, manual operation makes it difficult to ensure consistency in drilling position and depth, resulting in inconsistent product precision and a high scrap rate; secondly, the process of manual loading, unloading, positioning, and drilling is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale, batch production. Furthermore, manual operation also presents problems such as high labor intensity and numerous safety hazards.

[0003] While some existing automated drilling equipment can achieve a certain degree of automation, it still has significant shortcomings when drilling holes in the curved walls of cylindrical hardware parts. For example, most equipment uses fixed fixtures for positioning, which makes it difficult to adapt to cylindrical parts of different sizes and specifications; the feeding and unloading processes of some equipment lack precise control, which can easily lead to parts getting stuck or falling off, affecting the continuity of processing; and some equipment cannot flexibly adjust the drilling position, making it difficult to meet diverse processing needs.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an automated drilling device for hardware parts to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0024] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Referring to Figures 1-5, this embodiment provides an automated drilling equipment for hardware parts, including a drilling machine 1. A bracket 2 is fixedly installed on the base of the drilling machine 1. A rotating roller 3 is rotatably installed on the upper end of the bracket 2 through a bearing seat and a rotating shaft. An arc groove 4 is formed on the curved wall above the rotating roller 3 along the length direction of the rotating roller 3. A stop block 5 is fixedly installed on the fixed sleeve of the drilling machine 1. A groove 6 is formed in the center of the side of the stop block 5 near the rotating roller 3. The rotating roller 3 is located inside the groove 6. A servo motor 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the bracket 2. The output shaft of the servo motor 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating roller 3 through a coupling.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Referring to Figures 1-5, this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The difference from the previous embodiment is that a second bracket 8 is fixedly installed on the base of the drilling machine 1 in front of the first bracket 2, and a feeding slide plate 10 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the second bracket 8. The feeding slide plate 10 is inclined, and the lower end of the feeding slide plate 10 is close to the rotating roller 3 at a clockwise angle of 40°.

[0029] Furthermore, a material support 9 is fixedly installed on the base of the drilling machine 1 at the rear side of the support 2, and the material support 9 is located near the rotating roller 3 at a counterclockwise angle of 100°.

[0030] Furthermore, a left fixing plate 11 and a right fixing plate 12 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the abutment block 5 near the front end, respectively; a screw 16 is threadedly connected to the left fixing plate 11, the end of the screw 16 is located inside the left fixing plate 11 and is fixedly connected to a positioning plate 17, the front end of the screw 16 is located outside the left fixing plate 11 and is fixedly connected to a knob 15; an electric telescopic rod 13 is fixedly installed on the outside of the right fixing plate 12, the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 13 passes through to the inside of the right fixing plate 12 and is fixedly connected to a push plate 14, and anti-slip textures are provided on the end faces of the push plate 14 and the positioning plate 17.

[0031] Working principle: A cylindrical hardware part is placed on the unloading slide plate 10. Due to the inclined setting of the unloading slide plate 10, the part automatically slides down under the action of gravity. When the lower end of the unloading slide plate 10 is close to the rotating roller 3 at a 40° clockwise angle, the first cylindrical hardware part will naturally rest against the curved wall of the rotating roller 3. The servo motor 7 is started, and its output shaft drives the rotating roller 3 to rotate 40 degrees clockwise through the coupling. The arc groove 4 opened in the extension direction on the curved wall of the rotating roller 3 is rotated to the position of the part. At this time, the first cylindrical hardware part will fall into the arc groove 4 due to gravity. Then, the servo motor 7 drives the rotating roller 3 to return to its original position, so that the cylindrical hardware part that has fallen into the arc groove 4 is brought directly below the drill bit of the drilling machine 1. The electric telescopic rod 13 is started, and its piston rod extends and drives the push plate 14 to move. The push plate 14 moves closer to the positioning plate 17. Through the push plate 14 and the positioning plate 17, the part located in the arc groove 4 is brought directly below the drill bit of the drilling machine 1. The cylindrical hardware parts in slot 4 are clamped. The anti-slip texture on the end faces of push plate 14 and positioning plate 17 can effectively prevent the parts from sliding during clamping, ensuring that the parts remain stable during drilling. After the parts are clamped, the drilling machine 1 is started. The drill bit moves downward under the drive of the main unit to drill the curved wall of the fixed cylindrical hardware parts. After drilling is completed, the servo motor 7 drives the roller 3 to rotate 100 degrees counterclockwise, so that the cylindrical hardware parts that have been drilled in the arc slot 4 slide from the arc slot 4 to the material bracket 9 under the action of gravity. The operator can then remove the processed parts from the material bracket 9, thus completing a complete processing flow. If it is necessary to adjust the drilling position during processing, the operator can rotate the screw 16 through the knob 15 to move the positioning plate 17, thereby adjusting the drilling position to meet different processing needs.
