Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal parts processing technology, and specifically to a direction adjustment device for a tapping machine. Background Technology
[0002] In modern manufacturing, metal parts processing is a crucial step, widely used in automotive manufacturing, mechanical engineering, aerospace, and many other fields. Tapping, as a vital process in metal parts processing, aims to create internal threads on metal workpieces using specific tools, enabling the parts to connect or mate with other components. The quality of tapping directly affects the overall performance and assembly accuracy of metal parts, influencing product stability, reliability, and lifespan. With the continuous development of the manufacturing industry, the demands for processing precision, production efficiency, and diversification of metal parts are increasing, placing higher requirements on tapping technology. It needs continuous optimization and innovation to adapt to complex and ever-changing market demands. In the field of precision instrument manufacturing, the precision requirements for tapping are extremely high; even minute errors can lead to a decline in the performance of the entire instrument. In the large-scale automotive industry, high efficiency and stability are required in the tapping process to meet the demands of rapid production.
[0003] In the prior art, traditional tapping equipment has a low degree of automation. Because the metal workpiece is fixed, the tapping device cannot be adjusted. When adjusting the tapping position and angle of the workpiece, manual operation is often required, which not only consumes a lot of time and labor costs, but also makes it difficult to ensure consistent accuracy of each adjustment due to the limitations of manual operation, resulting in inconsistent processing quality. In addition, although some tapping devices can adjust the angle of the tapping machine, the metal workpiece fixing device cannot adjust the angle of the metal workpiece, resulting in poor adaptability to workpieces of different shapes and sizes. To solve the above problems, this application proposes a direction adjustment device for a tapping machine. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a direction adjustment device for a tapping machine.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a direction adjustment device for a tapping machine, including a tapping table, an elastic arm tapping machine is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the tapping table, and an adjustment device and a dust collection device are provided on the upper front side of the tapping table.
[0006] The adjusting device includes a fixed base, a first motor fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed base, and a rotating base rotatably connected to the upper part of the fixed base. The rotating shaft of the first motor passes through the tapping table and the fixed base and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating base. Telescopic cylinders are fixedly connected to the upper left and right ends of the rotating base. A support frame is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder. A second motor is fixedly connected to the right side of the support frame. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the second motor. Fixing members are fixedly connected to the outer left and right ends of the rotating rod. A support plate is provided on the upper part of each fixing member. A threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper part of each support plate. A clamping threaded bolt is threadedly connected inside each threaded sleeve.
[0007] Each of the threaded clamping bolts has a conical rubber clamping head that engages with its inner end. This conical clamping head allows for easy replacement with a suitable one to accommodate different workpiece shapes and sizes. Furthermore, the conical shape of the clamping head provides more stable workpiece clamping, and its smaller clamping point does not interfere with the tapping operation.
[0008] The upper part of the fixed base is provided with a slot, and the bottom outer corners of the rotating base are provided with locking teeth. The locking teeth are rotatably connected to the inside of the slot. By providing slots and locking teeth, the stability and guidance of the rotating base during rotation are increased, making the adjustment device more stable and reliable when adjusting the angle.
[0009] The fixing components are divided into upper and lower connecting parts, which are fixedly connected by bolts. The bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected to the upper fixing component, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the fixing components. It can also flexibly adjust the position of the fixing components according to the size of the workpiece being processed, thereby changing the clamping range and improving the adaptability of the device to workpieces of different sizes.
[0010] The dust collection device is fixedly installed at the upper middle part of the rotating seat and rotates with the rotating seat. This avoids the need to manually adjust the position of the suction port after the workpiece moves due to the rotation of the rotating seat, thereby enabling timely cleaning of metal chips generated during tapping.
[0011] Both the first motor and the second motor are DC brushless motors.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. The rotating base is driven by a first motor, which in turn drives a second motor to rotate a rotating rod. This allows for fine-tuning of the tapping position angle from multiple angles. A telescopic cylinder pushes the two ends of the support frame up and down to create a height difference, further enabling precise adjustment of the tapping position to meet different tapping needs and ensure machining accuracy. The fixed base and rotating base are connected by slots and teeth, providing stable support and guidance during rotation, effectively reducing wobbling and offset, ensuring a smooth tapping process and guaranteeing machining quality. The fixing component is designed as an upper and lower connecting piece, secured with bolts, facilitating flexible adjustment of the clamping range according to the size of the workpiece. The rubber clamping head is conical, not only stably clamping workpieces of different shapes and sizes, but also having a small clamping point that does not interfere with the tapping operation, greatly improving the device's applicability to various workpieces.
[0014] 2. The first and second motors are selected as DC brushless motors, which have the advantages of high efficiency and energy saving compared with traditional motors, reducing equipment operating costs. At the same time, the low noise and long life of DC brushless motors extend the overall service life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs. The dust collection device is fixedly installed on the rotating base and rotates with it. Since the rotating base rotates only slightly and not continuously, the suction port of the dust collection device can always be aligned with the workpiece, promptly cleaning up the metal debris generated during tapping. There is no need to manually adjust the suction port, which optimizes the processing environment and avoids the impact of metal debris on the processing process, thereby improving processing efficiency and product quality.

Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes will not be described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail. Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 A direction adjustment device for a tapping machine includes a tapping table 1, a flexible arm tapping machine 2 fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the tapping table 1, and an adjustment device 3 and a dust collection device 4 provided on the upper front side of the tapping table 1.
[0024] The adjusting device 3 includes a fixed base 301. A first motor 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed base 301. A rotating base 302 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the fixed base 301. The rotating shaft of the first motor 303 passes through the tapping table 1 and the fixed base 301 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating base 302. Telescopic cylinders 304 are fixedly connected to the upper left and right ends of the rotating base 302. A support frame 305 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 304. A second motor 306 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support frame 305. A rotating rod 307 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the second motor 306. Fixing members 308 are fixedly connected to the outer left and right ends of the rotating rod 307. A support plate 309 is provided on the upper part of the fixing member 308. A threaded sleeve 310 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support plate 309. A clamping threaded bolt 311 is threadedly connected inside the threaded sleeve 310.
[0025] Reference Figure 2 Each of the inner ends of the threaded bolts 311 is fitted with a rubber clamping head 312. The rubber clamping head 312 is conical, which makes it easy to replace the rubber clamping head 312 according to the shape and size of different workpieces. At the same time, the conical shape can clamp stably, and the clamping point is small, so it does not affect the tapping operation.
[0026] Reference Figure 3 The upper part of the fixed seat 301 is provided with a slot 313, and the bottom outer corners of the rotating seat 302 are provided with locking teeth 314. The locking teeth 314 are rotatably connected inside the slot 313, which facilitates the connection between the fixed seat 301 and the rotating seat 302, while increasing the stability and guidance of the rotating seat 302 during rotation.
[0027] Reference Figure 3 The fixing parts 308 are divided into upper and lower connecting parts, which are fixedly connected by bolts. The bottom of the support plate 309 is fixedly connected to the upper fixing parts 308, which facilitates installation and disassembly and allows the clamping range to be moved according to the size of the workpiece being processed.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 The dust collection device 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the rotating seat 302 and rotates with the rotating seat 302. Since the rotation amplitude of the rotating seat 302 is small and it does not rotate continuously, the suction port of the dust collection device 4 can always be in the position of the workpiece being processed, so as to avoid the workpiece moving due to the rotation of the rotating seat 302 and the need to manually adjust the position of the suction port.
[0029] Reference Figure 2Both the first motor 303 and the second motor 306 are brushless DC motors. The brushless DC motor uses an electronic commutator instead of a traditional mechanical commutator. The rotation direction of the motor is controlled by changing the direction and phase of the current output by the driver. It has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, low noise and long life. At the same time, the motor shaft can rotate in both directions, so the rotation direction of the rotating seat 302 and the rotating rod 307 can be adjusted.
[0030] Working principle: First, select a suitable rubber clamping head 312 according to the size and shape of the workpiece, and adjust the relative position of the fixing part 308 on the rotating rod 307. Rotate the clamping threaded bolt 311 to move within the threaded sleeve 310 to clamp the workpiece. Then, the first motor 303 drives the rotating seat 302 to rotate on the fixing seat 301, and the second motor 306 drives the rotating rod 307 to rotate, so as to adjust the tapping position angle of the workpiece. At the same time, the telescopic cylinder 304 pushes the two ends of the support frame 305 to move up and down to form a height difference and adjust the tapping position of the workpiece. Then, the elastic arm tapping machine 2 performs the tapping operation on the workpiece. Finally, the dust collection device 4 absorbs and cleans the metal debris generated by tapping.
[0031] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
[0032] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
