Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch box processing technology, and in particular to a tapping mechanism for industrial switch boxes that is easy to position. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial switch boxes, also known as industrial switching power supply boxes, are protective devices used in complex industrial environments. They are widely used in various industrial fields and are mainly used to install, protect, and control various electrical components (such as switches, buttons, circuit breakers, contactors, etc.).
[0003] Most industrial power supply boxes on the market are open-hole type, which is to facilitate the assembly of the panel cover on the switch box. During the assembly process, the panel cover is mostly connected by screw threads. Therefore, during the processing of the switch box, the connection point to the panel cover needs to be tapped.
[0004] However, current switch box tapping mechanisms mostly require manual hand-held opening of the switch box and placement under the tapping drill bit for tapping. This method is not only inconvenient for precise tapping of the switch box, but also poses a safety hazard to workers who need to be below the tapping mechanism when handling the workpiece. Therefore, a convenient positioning industrial switch box tapping mechanism is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A sliding frame is slidably connected to the mounting bracket. A support rod is fixedly connected to the back of the sliding frame. A telescopic plate is slidably connected to the support rod, and a rotating column is rotatably connected to it. A threaded rod is threaded through the rotating column in the middle of the rotating column. A spring telescopic rod is rotatably connected to one end of the threaded rod that passes through the rotating column. A stop block is fixedly connected to the end of the spring telescopic rod away from the telescopic plate. A clamping block is hinged to the stop block. A push rod is hinged between the clamping block and the spring telescopic rod. A stop block is fixedly connected to the rotating column. A limiting rod that passes through the rotating column is fixedly connected to the end of the spring telescopic rod near the telescopic plate.
[0011] The upper end of the support frame is provided with a tapping mechanism for tapping the switch box;
[0012] The placement platform is threaded with four sets of limiting posts, which are symmetrically distributed in pairs. Each set of limiting posts consists of three posts, and each set of limiting posts is distributed at right angles.
[0013] Preferably, the telescopic plate consists of a sleeve plate and a sliding plate. The sleeve plate is slidably connected to the support rod, and the sliding plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the sleeve plate. The lower end of the sliding plate is T-shaped, and the rotating column is rotatably connected to the sliding plate.
[0014] Preferably, the rotating column has a threaded hole in the middle, and the threaded hole is engaged with the thread on the outside of the threaded rod. The rotating column also has a circular hole for the sliding of the limiting rod.
[0015] Preferably, the support rod is U-shaped, and the number of stops is four, with the four stops symmetrically distributed in pairs on the two rotating columns.
[0016] Preferably, the spring telescopic rod consists of a sleeve rod, a sliding rod, and a spring.

The end of the limiting post connected to the placement platform is convex, and the outer surface of the convex end of the limiting post is provided with an external thread, which is adapted to the threaded groove on the placement platform.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0020] 1. This conveniently positioned industrial switch box tapping mechanism features a telescopic plate that can extend and retract, and slide vertically along a horizontal plane on the support rod. The sliding frame can slide laterally on the mounting frame. Therefore, by rotating the threaded rod, the stop and clamping blocks on the spring telescopic rod stably support and position the switch box to be processed. The switch box is then clamped and slid against the limiting post, positioned below the tapping mechanism, for tapping. When handling the switch box, the processed switch box can be slid to the front of the placement table, avoiding direct contact with the tapping mechanism, thus improving the processing stability of the switch box and the safety of the entire equipment during use.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes an industrial switch box tapping mechanism for easy positioning, including a support frame 1, and a placement platform 3 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the support frame 1.
[0030] The lower end of the support frame 1 is provided with positioning parts 4 located on the left and right sides of the placement platform 3;
[0031] The upper end of the support frame 1 is provided with a tapping mechanism 2 for tapping the switch box.
[0032] In this utility model, the limiting post 5 on the placement platform 3 and the positioning parts 4 located on both sides of the placement platform 3 can stably support and position the switch box, and at the same time facilitate the safe handling of the switch box by the operator.
[0033] It should be noted that the tapping mechanism 2 consists of a hydraulic cylinder 21, a mounting plate 22, a drive motor 23, and a tapping drill bit 24. The hydraulic cylinder 21 is mounted on the upper end of the support frame 1, the mounting plate 22 is mounted on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 21, the drive motor 23 is mounted below the mounting plate 22, and the tapping drill bit 24 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 23. When the hydraulic cylinder 21 is activated, it drives the drive motor 23 on the mounting plate 22 to move downward, which in turn drives the tapping drill bit 24 driven by the drive motor 23 to move downward and tap the switch box below it.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, the positioning element 4 includes two mounting brackets 41 symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower end of the support frame 1. A sliding frame 42 is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 41. A support rod 43 is fixedly connected to the back of the sliding frame 42. A telescopic plate 44 is slidably connected to the support rod 43. A rotating column 45 is rotatably connected to the telescopic plate 44. A threaded rod 46 is threaded through the middle of the rotating column 45. A spring telescopic rod 47 is rotatably connected to one end of the threaded rod 46 that passes through the rotating column 45. A stop block 49 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring telescopic rod 47 away from the telescopic plate 44. A clamping block 410 is hinged to the stop block 49. A push rod 411 is hinged between the clamping block 410 and the spring telescopic rod 47. A stop block 412 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 45. A limiting rod 48 that passes through the rotating column 45 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring telescopic rod 47 near the telescopic plate 44.
[0035] In this embodiment, rotating the threaded rod 46 drives the abutment 49 and clamping block 410 on the spring telescopic rod 47 to stably clamp the switch box to be processed, and the switch box is clamped and slid against the limiting post 5, and is located below the tapping mechanism 2 for tapping. When picking up and putting down the switch box, the processed switch box can be slid to the front of the placement table 3, avoiding the direct bottom of the tapping mechanism 2, so as to improve the processing stability of the switch box and the safety of the entire equipment during use.
[0036] It should be noted that the telescopic plate 44 consists of a sleeve plate and a sliding plate. The sleeve plate is slidably connected to the support rod 43, and the sliding plate is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve plate. The lower end of the sliding plate is T-shaped. The rotating column 45 is rotatably connected to the sliding plate, so that the telescopic plate 44 can extend and retract, and the sleeve plate on the telescopic plate 44 can also slide back and forth on the support rod 43 along a direction parallel to the horizontal plane.
[0037] The end of the abutment 49 near the clamping block 410 is inclined, so that the rotation angle of the clamping block 410 on the abutment 49 is greater than 90 degrees, thereby adapting to the support and positioning of switch boxes of different specifications.
[0038] The rotating column 45 has a threaded hole in the middle, and the threaded hole is engaged with the thread on the outside of the threaded rod 46. The rotating column 45 has a circular hole for the sliding of the limiting rod 48, so that the rotating threaded rod 46 can be adjusted by the spring driving the telescopic rod 47 to move laterally along the horizontal plane.
[0039] In addition, the support rod 43 is U-shaped, and the end of the support rod 43 that passes through the telescopic plate 44 is T-shaped. There are four stops 412, and the four stops 412 are symmetrically distributed in pairs on the two rotating columns 45. When the telescopic plate 44 is not extended, the stops 412 are in contact with the upper surface of the sleeve plate on the telescopic plate 44, supporting and limiting the rotating column 45. The threaded rod 46 can be rotated normally to adjust the spring telescopic rod 47, and the telescopic plate 44 can be extended in the opposite direction to adjust the telescopic plate 44. This causes the stops 412 to separate from the sleeve plate on the telescopic plate 44. Then, by rotating the threaded rod 46, the abutment 49 on the spring telescopic rod 47 can be rotated and connected to the clamping block 410.
[0040] The spring telescopic rod 47 consists of a sleeve rod, a sliding rod, and a spring. The sleeve rod is rotatably connected to one end of the threaded rod 46 that passes through the rotating column 45. The sliding rod is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve rod. The spring is fixedly connected between the end of the sliding rod located inside the sleeve rod and the inside of the sleeve rod. When the spring telescopic rod 47 is compressed, it can retract and push the push rod 411 on the sleeve rod to push the clamping block 410 to rotate and adjust towards the side closer to the abutment block 49. Conversely, after the spring extends and resets, the push rod 411 can pull the clamping block 410 to reset.
[0041] Secondly, there are four clamping blocks 410, and the four clamping blocks 410 are symmetrically distributed in pairs on the abutment blocks 49. The end of the push rod 411 away from the clamping blocks 410 is hinged to the sleeve rod. The left and right sides of the switch box are positioned by the two abutment blocks 49, while the two clamping blocks 410 on each abutment block 49 can support and position the front and rear sides of the switch box to improve the stability of the switch box during the support and positioning process.
[0042] In an optional embodiment, the placement platform 3 is threaded with four sets of limiting posts 5, and the four sets of limiting posts 5 are symmetrically distributed in pairs. Each set of limiting posts 5 has three posts, and each set of limiting posts 5 is distributed at right angles.
[0043] It should be noted that the upper surface of the placement platform 3 has several threaded grooves, which are distributed in a matrix. The end of the limiting post 5 connected to the placement platform 3 is convex. The outer surface of the convex end of the limiting post 5 has external threads, which are adapted to the threaded grooves on the placement platform 3, so that the lower end of the limiting post 5 can be tightened on the placement platform 3. The several threaded grooves on the placement platform 3 allow the operator to adjust the distribution and orientation of the limiting post 5 to adapt to the processing of switch boxes of different specifications.
[0044] In this embodiment, the switch box, which is supported and positioned by the abutment block 49 and the clamping block 410, is pushed between the two sets of limiting posts 5, and the end of the switch box near the inner side of the support frame 1 is attached to the two sets of limiting posts 5 on one side, so that the switch box can be processed by the downward-moving tapping drill bit 24. Conversely, attaching to the two sets of limiting posts 5 on the other side allows for symmetrical tapping of the switch box.
[0045] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which is common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical structures, the control method and circuit connection and other technical means will not be described in detail here.
[0046] The working principle in the above embodiments is as follows:
[0047] After placing the switch box to be processed in front of the placement platform 3, you can hold the threaded rods 46 on both sides and drive the abutment 49 on the spring telescopic rod 47 to slide to the left and right sides of the switch box through the support rod 43. When the stop block 412 is in contact with the sleeve on the telescopic plate 44, the rotating column 45 is blocked and limited. At this time, you can rotate the threaded rod 46 normally to drive the abutment 49 on the spring telescopic rod 47 to abut the switch box. At the same time, the retracted spring telescopic rod 47 pushes the clamping block 410 through the push rod 411 to stably support and position the switch box.
[0048] After the switch box is stably positioned, continue to hold the threaded rod 46 and push the switch box into the two sets of limit posts 5 on one side to further stabilize and support the switch box. Then, the activated hydraulic cylinder 21 drives the drive motor 23 on the mounting plate 22 to move down, which in turn drives the tapping drill bit 24 driven by the drive motor 23 to move down and tap the switch box below it. After one tapping point of the switch box is completed, push the switch box into the two sets of limit posts 5 on the other side to perform symmetrical tapping on the switch box.
[0049] After the extension plate 44 causes the stop 412 on the rotating column 45 to separate from the sleeve plate on the extension plate 44, the rotating column 45 is no longer blocked and limited. At this time, the switch box fixed by the stop block 49 and the clamping block 410 is rotated and adjusted by the threaded rod 46, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the switch box can be tapped without being removed.
[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
