Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fastener manufacturing equipment technology, specifically to an automatic tapping machine for press-fit nut posts. Background Technology
[0002] Press-fit nut columns have a wide range of applications and are used in the connection and assembly of various mechanical equipment. During operation, simply place the press-fit nut column blank into the vibratory feeder for automatic feeding, positioning, tightening, tapping, and unloading.
[0003] According to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN214443605U, an automatic tapping machine for press-fit nut columns is disclosed. This machine utilizes a turntable conveyor system, transforming the traditional linear conveyor line into a circular arrangement, reducing the distance between devices and saving space. The devices are connected by screws, facilitating the production of different product models. Two technical solutions are available: replaceable processing and fixing components, and adjustable distance between the tapping mechanism and the turntable, offering flexibility. However, in this previous solution, the press-fit nut column container required manual emptying when full, which could lead to overflow onto the worktable due to delays in handling, increasing the difficulty of subsequent collection and thus increasing labor intensity. Therefore, we propose an automatic tapping machine for press-fit nut columns. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic tapping machine for press-fit nut columns, including a support platform 1, a tapping device body 2 fixedly installed on the top of the support platform 1 near the rear side, a turntable mechanism 3 arranged below the tapping device body 2, the turntable mechanism 3 installed on the top of the support platform 1, a vibratory feeder 4 installed on one side of the top of the support platform 1, a linear feeder 5 connected to the vibratory feeder 4, a controller 6 fixedly installed on the top of the support platform 1, a support leg 19 fixedly installed on the bottom of the support platform 1, a flip-up opening 7 opened on the other side of the support platform 1, and a rotating shaft 14 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the flip-up opening 7 through a bearing seat. A rotating groove 15 is provided, and a rotating shaft 14 extends into the rotating groove 15 through the inner wall of the flip-out opening 7. The rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the support platform 1 through a bearing. A fixing plate 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 14. Gravity sensor 19 and gravity sensor 21 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the fixing plate 8, respectively. Collection box 10 and collection box 22 are fixedly installed at the top of gravity sensor 19 and the bottom of gravity sensor 21, respectively. A fixing box 17 is provided below the rotating groove 15. The fixing box 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support platform 1. A motor 20 is fixedly installed on the front of the fixing box 17. The rotating shaft 14 is connected to the motor 20 for transmission.
[0023] Among them, the tapping equipment body 2, turntable mechanism 3, vibratory plate 4 and linear feeder 5 are all disclosed technologies in the announcement number CN214443605U, entitled "An Automatic Tapping Machine for Press-fit Nut Column", so they are not described or drawn in detail in this article and the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Specifically, in the above technical solution, when the automatic tapping machine for press-fit nuts is in use, the press-fit nuts that have been tapped on the turntable mechanism 3 will automatically fall into the collection box 10. When the gravity sensor senses that the weight of the press-fit nuts accumulated in the collection box 10 reaches a set value, it will send a signal to the controller 6, causing the controller 6 to control the start motor 20. The motor 20 drives the worm gear 18 to rotate, the worm gear 18 drives the worm wheel 16 to rotate, the worm wheel 16 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 14 drives the fixed plate 8 to rotate 180°. The fixed plate 8, through the gravity sensor 21, drives the collection box 22 to rotate upward, and through the gravity sensor 9, drives the collection box 10 to rotate downward, so that the press-fit nuts that have been tapped in the collection box 10 fall into the collection box 21. The collection box 22 can continuously tap the press-fit nuts that have been tapped. The column is collected. When the gravity sensor 11 senses that the weight of the accumulated rivet nut column in the collection box 12 reaches the set value, it will also send a signal to the controller 6, causing the controller 6 to start the motor 20, causing the fixing plate 8 to rotate 180° again, and repeating the cycle. Through the above structure, the rivet nut columns collected in the collection box 10 and collection box 22 can be automatically and timely tilted, avoiding the accumulation and overflow of the tapped rivet nut columns in the collection box 10 and collection box 212, which would be inconvenient for subsequent collection and processing. This solves the problem in the existing technical solution that when the rivet nut column container is full, it needs to be manually tilted, which may cause the rivet nut columns to overflow onto the workbench due to untimely processing, thus increasing the difficulty of subsequent collection and increasing the labor intensity of personnel.
[0025] Furthermore, gravity sensor 19 and gravity sensor 21 are connected to controller 6 via signal, and controller 6 is electrically connected to motor 20, tapping equipment body 2, turntable mechanism 3, vibratory feeder 4, and linear feeder 5.
[0026] Furthermore, a worm gear 18 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 20. The worm gear 18 passes through the front of the fixed box 17 and is rotatably connected to the fixed box 17 through a bearing. A worm wheel 16 is provided in the rotating groove 15. The worm wheel 16 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 14 and meshes with the worm gear 18.
[0027] By setting the worm gear 18 and worm wheel 16, the motor 20 and the rotating shaft 14 can be driven together, and the self-locking effect is provided to ensure the stability of the first collection box 10 and the second collection box 12 during use.
[0028] Furthermore, buffer pads 13 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of collection box 10 and the top of the inner wall of collection box 2 12.
[0029] Furthermore, a collection box 21 is provided below the flip-out port 7, a buffer guide plate 22 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the collection box 21, and a buffer pad 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the buffer guide plate 22.
[0030] By setting buffer pad 13, buffer pad 23 and buffer guide plate 22, the press-fit nut column can play a certain buffering and guiding role when it is tilted, reduce collision wear and ensure the subsequent use accuracy of the press-fit nut column.
[0031] Furthermore, both buffer pad 23 and buffer pad 13 are made of wear-resistant rubber.
