Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metal processing technology, specifically a tapping device to prevent tap breakage. Background Technology
[0002] Metal parts often require tapping during use, typically done using a tapping machine. A tapping machine is a machining device that creates internal threads, screws, or threads on the inner surface of holes in various parts such as machine housings, equipment end faces, nuts, and flanges, using a rotating tap to cut the material and form threads. Tapping machines are widely used in industries such as machinery manufacturing, automobiles, electronics, and hardware.
[0003] In existing technologies, metal parts often require tapping during use, which necessitates machining using mechanical equipment. Tapping equipment is commonly used for this process and has a wide range of applications. A tapping device typically works by feeding a bent and shaped metal part onto the surface of a tapping machine's worktable. It usually consists of a frame, motor, tapping drill bit, spindle, blanking plate, movable air rod, tapping channel, and transmission system. The motor drives the spindle to rotate, which in turn drives the tapping drill bit below to rotate. Through the tapping channel, the metal part on the worktable surface is tapped, thus completing the machining of the metal part.
[0004] In current technology, metal tapping devices on the market typically operate using a motor mounted on one side. The motor drives the spindle to rotate, which in turn rotates the tapping drill bit below. Through the tapping channel, the metal parts on the worktable surface are tapped. However, during the tapping process, small metal parts are prone to shaking, causing significant damage to the tap. Furthermore, the device is only fixed by a set of clamps on the outer ring, which places a heavy load on the base during long-term operation and poses certain safety hazards. Therefore, a tapping device to prevent tap breakage is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

By adding a set of auxiliary fixing tapping flow channels to the surface of the worktable, by feeding the bent metal parts into the tapping flow channels, and by providing stability through the clamp under the tapping drill bit, the load on the tap during long-term operation is reduced.
[0007] Preferably, a guide rail lower pad is installed on the other side of the side baffle plate, and a slide rail is installed on the upper surface of the guide rail lower pad. The slide rail is equipped with a slider. It is usually operated by a motor installed on one side. The motor drives the spindle to rotate, thereby driving the tapping drill bit below to rotate.
[0008] Preferably, a movable connecting plate is installed above the slider, and a movable air rod is fitted at the other end of the movable connecting plate. The air rod cooperates with the tapping channel to complete the tapping operation on the metal parts on the worktable surface.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting plate is installed on the other end of the guide rail lower pad, and an installation plate is assembled on the other end of the limiting plate. A feeding plate is installed on one side of the tapping support, and the position of the metal part is adjusted by a pushing cylinder on one side.
[0010] Preferably, a lower fixed seat is installed on one side surface of the upper top plate, a tapping support is assembled in the middle of the lower fixed seat, a power slider is installed in the middle of the tapping support, and a main shaft is assembled in the middle of the other end of the power slider. In addition, four sets of universal wheels are installed at the bottom of the frame to facilitate the installation and movement of the equipment, reduce the pressure on the tapping device, and extend the service life of the device.
[0011] Preferably, a transmission system is installed above the spindle, a motor is installed below the transmission system, a tapping drill bit is installed below the spindle, casters are installed below the frame, and foot pads are fitted on the other side of the casters.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0013] This utility model provides a tapping device to prevent tap breakage. To address the issue that small metal parts are prone to shaking during tapping, putting significant pressure on the tap, and that the device relies solely on a set of clamps on the outer ring for fixation, which places a heavy load on the base during prolonged operation and poses a safety hazard, this invention adds a set of auxiliary fixing tapping channels to the worktable surface. The bent metal part is fed into these channels, and a pusher cylinder on one side adjusts the position of the metal part. Stability is provided by clamps under the tapping bit, reducing the load on the tap during extended operation and improving safety. Additionally, four sets of casters are added to the bottom of the frame to facilitate installation and movement, reducing pressure on the tapping device and extending its lifespan.

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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a tapping device for preventing tap breakage includes a frame 1. An upper top plate 2 is mounted on the top of the frame 1.

The part is equipped with a push rod 24, and a push rod head block 25 is installed at the end of the push rod 24. A tapping channel 17 is installed at the front end of the push rod head block 25. A tapping support 16 is installed below the tapping channel 17. A side stop plate 18 is installed on the other side of the tapping support 16. A guide rail lower pad 21 is installed on the other side of the side stop plate 18. A slide rail 19 is installed on the upper surface of the guide rail lower pad 21. A slider 23 is installed on the surface of the slide rail 19.
[0023] In current technology, metal tapping devices on the market typically operate using a motor 7 mounted on one side. The motor 7 drives the spindle 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the tapping drill bit 5 below to rotate. This, combined with the tapping channel 17, completes the tapping operation on the metal parts on the worktable surface. However, during the tapping process, small metal parts are prone to shaking, causing significant damage to the tap. Furthermore, the device is only fixed by a set of clamps on the outer ring, which places a heavy load on the base during prolonged operation and poses certain safety hazards. Therefore, to address these issues, a tapping device that prevents tap breakage is proposed. When tapping metal parts, the bent metal part is fed into the middle of the vibrating straight channel 14. The metal part is shaped through the groove, conveyed by vibration through the tilt angle of the worktable, and operated by the movable air rod 12. The slider 23 repeatedly operates along the surface of the slide rail 19.
[0024] Furthermore, a movable connecting plate 29 is installed above the slider 23, and a movable air rod 12 is fitted to the other end of the movable connecting plate 29.

A tapping support column 9 is fitted in the middle of the lower fixed seat 11. A power slider 10 is installed in the middle of the tapping support column 9. A spindle 6 is fitted in the middle of the other end of the power slider 10. A transmission system 8 is installed above the spindle 6. A motor 7 is installed below the transmission system 8. A tapping drill bit 5 is installed below the spindle 6. A caster wheel 3 is installed below the frame 1. A foot pad 4 is fitted to the other side of the caster wheel 3.
[0025] During operation, when the slider 23 moves, it will drive the upper side baffle plate 18 to move synchronously. The pusher cylinder 27 on the other side will perform the operation. The pusher 24 in the middle will stretch and drive the pusher head block 25 at the end to move. The pusher head block 25 will send the metal part into the middle of the tapping channel 17 for position adjustment. The waste material after tapping will be transported through the unloading plate 15. The tapping device will be moved and installed by the universal wheels 3 under the frame 1, thereby completing the overall metal part tapping operation.
[0026] Working principle: In current technology, metal tapping devices on the market typically operate using a motor 7 mounted on one side. The motor 7 drives the spindle 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the tapping drill bit 5 below to rotate. Through the tapping channel 17, the metal parts on the worktable surface are tapped. However, during the tapping process, small metal parts are prone to shaking, causing significant damage to the tap. Furthermore, the device relies solely on a set of clamps on the outer ring for fixation, placing a heavy load on the base during prolonged operation and posing certain safety hazards. Therefore, to address these issues, a tapping device to prevent tap breakage is proposed. During metal part tapping, the bent metal part is fed into a vibrating linear vibrator... In the middle of the flow channel 14, the metal parts are shaped by the slot. The worktable is tilted and conveyed by vibration. The operation is carried out by the movable air rod 12. The slider 23 will repeatedly work along the surface of the slide rail 19. When the slider 23 moves, it will drive the upper side baffle plate 18 to move synchronously. The push cylinder 27 on the other side will work. The push rod 24 in the middle will be stretched, which will drive the push rod head block 25 at the end to move. The push rod head block 25 will send the metal parts into the middle of the tapping flow channel 17 for position adjustment. The waste material after tapping will be conveyed by the unloading plate 15. The tapping device is moved and installed by the universal wheels 3 under the frame 1, thereby completing the overall metal part tapping operation.
