[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of this utility model, but are not limited thereto. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are also within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] This application is applicable to shaft parts with asymmetrical overall dimensions, especially for shaft parts with different outer diameters along the axial direction. Since the length dimensions are also different for different outer diameters, when performing thread rolling on such shaft parts, an auxiliary feeding mechanism can be used for initial positioning to facilitate subsequent clamping operations.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 The thread rolling machine for shaft parts provided in this application includes a base 1, a thread rolling mechanism 2, a clamping mechanism 3, and an auxiliary feeding mechanism 4. The thread rolling mechanism 2, the clamping mechanism 3, and the auxiliary feeding mechanism 4 are all mounted on the base 1. The thread rolling mechanism 2 is used to perform thread rolling on shaft parts, the clamping mechanism 3 is used to fix the shaft parts, and the auxiliary feeding mechanism 4 is used to initially position the shaft parts. This configuration improves the efficiency and quality of thread rolling on shaft parts.

The drive assembly 22 includes a first cylinder 221, a mounting frame 222, and a drive motor 223. The first cylinder 221 is fixedly mounted on the base 1 and can push the mounting frame 222 to move. The mounting frame 222 is connected to the first cylinder 221, and when the first cylinder 221 is activated, it drives the mounting frame 222 to move on the base 1. The thread rollers 21 are rotatably connected to the mounting frame 222, which acts as a stable support, allowing the thread rollers 21 to rotate smoothly. The output shaft of the drive motor 223 is keyed to the thread rollers 21, and the drive motor 223 provides the rotational power for the thread rollers 21. The first cylinder 221 here can also be replaced by an electric push rod, which can also achieve the function of pushing the mounting frame 222; the drive motor 223 can also be replaced by a hydraulic motor, which can provide greater torque and make the rotation of the wire roller 21 more stable.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Specifically, the clamping mechanism 3 is located at both ends of the wire roller 21 and in the middle between the two wire rollers 21. It includes a top block 31 and a fastening assembly 32. There are two top blocks 31, which are respectively connected to the base 1 and the fastening assembly 32. The opposite end of the top block 31 has a conical structure. This conical structure can better hold the end of the shaft-like parts, making their positioning more accurate.

[0042] The fastening assembly 32, used to adjust the relative distance between the top blocks 31, includes a slide 321, a guide rod 322, a mounting base 323, and a second cylinder 324. The slide 321 is fixedly mounted on the base 1, providing support for the movement of other components. The guide rod 322 is fixedly connected to the slide 321 and parallel to it, serving as a guide to allow the mounting base 323 to move along a fixed direction. The mounting base 323 can be bolted to different positions as needed. The mounting base 323 is slidably connected to the guide rod 322. The second cylinder 324 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 323, and the top block 31 is connected to the end of the second cylinder 324 near the base 1. When the second cylinder 324 actuates, it moves the top block 31 closer to or further away from the shaft-like parts, achieving clamping and releasing of the shaft-like parts. The slide table 321 here can also be replaced by a slide rail, which can provide a smoother sliding effect; the second cylinder 324 can also be replaced by a combination of a stepper motor and a lead screw and nut pair, and the precise adjustment of the distance of the top block 31 can be achieved through the precise control of the stepper motor.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4Specifically, the auxiliary feeding mechanism 4 includes a support block 41 and an adjusting component 42. The support block 41 is disposed between the clamping mechanisms 3, and the adjusting component 42 is connected to the support block 41 to adjust the relative distance between the support block 41 and the clamping mechanism 3. The adjusting component 42 includes a third cylinder 421, a connecting rod 422, and a movable base 423. The slide table 321 has a slide groove 3211, the third cylinder 421 is fixedly installed in the slide groove 3211, and the movable base 423 is configured to cooperate with the slide groove 3211. The two ends of the connecting rod 422 are respectively connected to the third cylinder 421 and the movable base 423. The third cylinder 421 is used to drive the movable base 423 to move along the slide groove 3211. The top of the support block 41 has a V-shaped placement groove 411 with the opening facing upward. The apex of the placement groove 411 is an arc-shaped structure. This V-shaped placement groove 411 can better adapt to shaft parts of different diameters, and the arc-shaped apex can avoid damage to the surface of the shaft parts. The third cylinder 421 here can be replaced by a linear motor, which can achieve more precise linear motion; the material of the support block 41 can be selected according to the material of the shaft parts. For example, for shaft parts with high hardness, the support block 41 can be made of hardened steel.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 In addition, a cooling assembly 6 is provided on the base 1. The cooling assembly 6 includes a cooling pipe 61 disposed on the base 1 and above the wire roller 21, and a nozzle 62 disposed on the end of the cooling pipe 61 near the wire roller 21. During the wire rolling process, the cooling pipe 61 can deliver coolant to the nozzle 62, which sprays the coolant onto the wire roller 21 and shaft parts, providing cooling and lubrication, extending the service life of the wire roller 21, and improving processing quality. The cooling pipe 61 can be made of rubber or metal; rubber has better flexibility, while metal is more durable. The nozzle 62 can be an atomizing nozzle, which can evenly spray the coolant onto the processing area.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 The thread rolling machine also includes a control box 7 mounted on the base 1. The drive motor 223, the first cylinder 221, the second cylinder 324, and the third cylinder 421 are controlled by the control box 7. The control box 7 precisely controls the actions of each component to achieve automated processing.

[0046] The implementation principle of a thread rolling machine for shaft parts according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: The clamping mechanism 3 is fixed at the middle position between the two thread rollers 21 to ensure the radial positioning accuracy of the shaft parts. The auxiliary feeding mechanism 4 dynamically adjusts the distance between the support block 41 and the clamping mechanism 3 through the adjusting component 42, so that the V-shaped placement groove 411 always adapts to the shaft end diameter. Specifically, when the same batch of shaft parts needs to be thread rolled, the mounting base 323 is fixed in a suitable position, and the position of the support block 41 is adjusted according to the distance of the shaft section of the part. After the support block 41 is in a suitable position, the shaft part is placed in the V-shaped placement groove 411 of the support block 41, and one end abuts against the tip of the top block 31 installed on the base 1. The second cylinder 324 is controlled to drive the top block 31 to approach the part and press against the part. After the part is fixed, the first cylinder 221 controls the two thread rollers 21 to approach each other and drives the motor 223 to drive the thread rollers 21 to rotate, thereby realizing the thread rolling process of the shaft parts.

[0047] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
