Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is a tapping device, belonging to the field of tapping. Background Technology
[0002] Tapping is a process that uses a certain torque to screw a tap into a hole to be drilled to create an internal thread. Tapping machines are the most widely used type of internal thread processing machine tool. When tapping hardware parts, a tapping device is required.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the one disclosed in CN220112495U, a mobile tapping device is included, comprising a hand-held electric drill, a tapping head connected to the hand-held electric drill, and a movable base fixedly connected to a vertical lifting mechanism. The hand-held electric drill is vertically connected to the lifting mechanism. This invention uses the movable base to horizontally position the tapping position, and then guides the hand-held electric drill to descend vertically for tapping via the vertical lifting mechanism. This enables tapping operations on large SMC solid insulation workpieces, and has the beneficial effects of easy control, ensuring processing quality, and improving work efficiency.
[0004] However, the aforementioned patented device requires workers to hold an electric drill at a specified height before tapping the hardware parts, which is labor-intensive. Furthermore, the work efficiency is low when machining multiple holes in the same hardware part. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tapping device to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. This utility model reduces the workload and speeds up the work by setting two tapping processing stations and further realizing automatic up-down movement and rotation adjustment of the processing stations.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a tapping device, comprising: a U-shaped bracket, a control terminal fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped bracket, a base plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the U-shaped bracket, two clamping assemblies provided on both sides of the top of the base plate, a lifting mechanism provided on the top of the U-shaped bracket, a rotation adjustment mechanism provided at the bottom of the lifting mechanism, and an infrared sensor II fixedly embedded on one side of the inner cavity of the U-shaped bracket.
[0007] Furthermore, both clamping components include L-shaped clamps, one end of each L-shaped clamp is movably embedded in both sides of the U-shaped bracket, the bottom of each L-shaped clamp is in contact with the top surface of the base plate, and a set of three-stage electric telescopic rods is fixedly connected to one side of each L-shaped clamp, the other end of each set of three-stage electric telescopic rods is connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the U-shaped bracket.
[0008] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a U-shaped fixing frame, which is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped support. A three-axis cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the U-shaped fixing frame, and a connecting column is fixedly connected to the output end of the three-axis cylinder. The connecting column is movably embedded in the top of the U-shaped support.
[0009] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the connecting column, and a bearing is fixedly sleeved on the bottom of the other end of the connecting shaft.
[0010] Furthermore, the rotation adjustment mechanism includes a connecting circular plate, which is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the bearing, and the surface of the connecting circular plate is provided with toothed grooves.
[0011] Furthermore, four connecting plates are connected around the bottom of the first connecting circular plate. Infrared sensors are fixedly embedded on one side of two of the connecting plates. A second connecting circular plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the four connecting plates. Two forward and reverse motors are fixedly embedded on the surface of the second connecting circular plate. Taps are fixedly installed at the output ends of both forward and reverse motors.
[0012] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the connecting column, and a second forward and reverse motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate. A gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the second forward and reverse motor, and the gear meshes with a tooth groove.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, the hardware part to be tapped is placed between the opposite sides of two L-shaped clamps. Then, the control terminal is operated, and the two L-shaped clamps clamp and fix the hardware part to be tapped. The forward and reverse motor drives the tap to rotate, and the three-axis cylinder pushes the forward and reverse motor to move downward, so that the hardware part is tapped by the tap. With this setting, the operator does not need to hold the tapping device to tap the hardware part, thus reducing the labor intensity.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, after tapping is completed, the control terminal is operated, and the control terminal controls the first forward and reverse motor to rotate in the opposite direction. At the same time, the control terminal controls the output end of the three-axis cylinder to retract, and the bottom end of the tap disengages from the interior of the hardware. When horizontal tapping is required, the control terminal is operated again, and the control terminal controls the second forward and reverse motor to work. When the second infrared sensor detects that one of the first infrared sensors has moved away, and then completes docking detection with the other first infrared sensor, the control terminal controls the second forward and reverse motor to stop working. Then the above operation is repeated to perform tapping. This setting facilitates 90-degree rotation adjustment of the tapping component, increasing work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a tapping device, comprising: a U-shaped bracket 1, a control terminal 2 fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped bracket 1, a base plate 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the U-shaped bracket 1, two clamping components 4 arranged on both sides of the top of the base plate 3, a lifting mechanism 5 arranged on the top of the U-shaped bracket 1, a rotation adjustment mechanism 6 arranged at the bottom of the lifting mechanism 5, and an infrared sensor 7 fixedly embedded on one side of the inner cavity of the U-shaped bracket 1.
[0025] Specifically: the control terminal 2 is used to control the three-stage electric telescopic rod 402, the three-axis cylinder 502, the infrared sensor 604, the forward and reverse motor 606, and the forward and reverse motor 609. The two clamping components 4 cooperate with each other to clamp and fix the hardware. The lifting mechanism 5 is used for lifting and adjusting. The rotation adjustment mechanism 6 is used for rotation adjustment. The infrared sensor 7 is used for positioning during rotation adjustment.
[0026] Please see Figure 2 Specific implementation method: Both clamping components 4 include L-shaped clamping plates 401. One end of each L-shaped clamping plate 401 is movably embedded in both sides of the U-shaped bracket 1. The bottom of each L-shaped clamping plate 401 is in contact with the top surface of the base plate 3. A set of three-stage electric telescopic rods 402 is fixedly connected to one side of each L-shaped clamping plate 401. The other ends of the two sets of three-stage electric telescopic rods 402 are respectively connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the U-shaped bracket 1.
[0027] Specifically: Place the hardware to be tapped between the two L-shaped clamps 401 on opposite sides, operate the control terminal 2, and control the output end of the three-stage electric telescopic rod 402 to extend. The extension of the output end of the three-stage electric telescopic rod 402 causes the two L-shaped clamps 401 to move inward, clamping and fixing the hardware to be tapped. Operate the control terminal 2 again, and control the output end of the three-stage electric telescopic rod 402 to retract. The retraction of the output end of the three-stage electric telescopic rod 402 causes the two L-shaped clamps 401 to move outward, releasing the clamping and fixing of the hardware.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 , 3 Specific implementation method: The lifting mechanism 5 includes a U-shaped fixed frame 501, which is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped support 1. A three-axis cylinder 502 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the U-shaped fixed frame 501. A connecting column 503 is fixedly connected to the output end of the three-axis cylinder 502. The connecting column 503 is movably embedded in the top of the U-shaped support 1.
[0029] Specifically: the three-axis cylinder 502 is used to install and fix the U-shaped fixing bracket 501. The operation of the three-axis cylinder 502 drives the connecting column 503 to be raised and lowered. When the output end of the three-axis cylinder 502 extends to the maximum extent, the bottom end of the tap 607 is just in contact with the surface of the base plate 3.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 , 3 Specific implementation method: A connecting shaft 504 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the connecting column 503, and a bearing 505 is fixedly sleeved on the bottom of the other end of the connecting shaft 504.
[0031] Specifically: Operation control terminal 2, control terminal 2 controls the output end of the three-axis cylinder 502 to extend and retract to drive the connecting column 503 to lift and adjust, and bearing 505 is used as an auxiliary connecting circular plate 601 to rotate.
[0032] Please see Figure 3 , 4 Specific implementation method: The rotary adjustment mechanism 6 includes a connecting circular plate 601, which is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the bearing 505, and the surface of the connecting circular plate 601 is provided with toothed grooves 602.
[0033] Specifically: the tooth groove 602 is used to mesh with the gear 610 to complete the docking, and the connecting round plate 601 is used to fix the connecting round plate 605 through the connecting plate 603.
[0034] Please see Figure 4 Specific implementation method: Four connecting plates 603 are connected around the bottom of the connecting circular plate 601. Infrared sensors 604 are fixedly embedded on one side of two of the connecting plates 603. Connecting circular plate 605 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the four connecting plates 603. Two forward and reverse motors 606 are fixedly embedded on the surface of the connecting circular plate 605. Taps 607 are fixedly installed at the output ends of the two forward and reverse motors 606.
[0035] Specifically: the operation control terminal 2 controls the forward and reverse motor 606, which drives the tap 607 to rotate. At the same time, the control terminal 2 controls the lifting mechanism 5 to push the rotating adjustment mechanism 6 to move downward to tap the wire.
[0036] Please see Figure 2 , 4 5. Specific implementation method: A fixing plate 608 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the connecting column 503. A forward and reverse motor 609 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 608. A gear 610 is fixedly connected to the output end of the forward and reverse motor 609. The gear 610 meshes with the tooth groove 602.
[0037] Specifically: Control terminal 2 controls the second reversible motor 609 to work. The second reversible motor 609 drives the gear 610 to rotate. The gear 610 then meshes with the tooth groove 602 to drive the connecting circular plate 601 to rotate. The connecting circular plate 601 drives the second connecting circular plate 605 to rotate synchronously through the connecting plate 603. At this time, when the second infrared sensor 7 detects that one of the infrared sensors 604 has moved away, and then completes docking detection with the other infrared sensor 604, the control terminal 2 controls the second reversible motor 609 to stop working. When the output end of the three-axis cylinder 502 retracts to its maximum limit, the top of the fixed plate 608 will not touch the top of the inner cavity of the U-shaped bracket 1.
[0038] Working principle: The control terminal 2 is electrically connected to the three-stage electric telescopic rod 402, the three-axis cylinder 502, the infrared sensor 604, the forward and reverse motor 606, and the forward and reverse motor 609. When using this device to tap the hardware parts, first connect the device to the external power supply.
[0039] Then, the hardware part to be tapped is placed between the opposite sides of the two L-shaped clamps 401. Then, the control terminal 2 is operated. The control terminal 2 controls the output end of the three-stage electric telescopic rod 402 to extend. The extension of the output end of the three-stage electric telescopic rod 402 drives the two L-shaped clamps 401 to move inward, clamping and fixing the hardware part to be tapped. The control terminal 2 is operated again to control the first reversible motor 606. The first reversible motor 606 drives the tap 607 to rotate. The control terminal 2 controls the output end of the three-axis cylinder 502 to extend. Through the connection between the connecting shaft 504, the first connecting round plate 601, the connecting plate 603, the second connecting round plate 605, and the first reversible motor 606, the first reversible motor 606 is pushed to move downward, and the tap 607 taps the hardware part.
[0040] With this setup, workers no longer need to manually tap the metal parts with a tapping device, thus reducing workload.
[0041] After tapping is completed, the control terminal 2 is operated. The control terminal 2 controls the first reversible motor 606 to rotate in the opposite direction. At the same time, the control terminal 2 controls the output end of the three-axis cylinder 502 to retract, and the bottom end of the tap 607 disengages from the inside of the hardware. When horizontal tapping is required, the control terminal 2 is operated again. The control terminal 2 controls the second reversible motor 609 to work. The second reversible motor 609 drives the gear 610 to rotate. Then, through the meshing connection between the gear 610 and the tooth groove 602, the connecting round plate 601 is driven to rotate. The connecting round plate 601 drives the second connecting round plate 605 to rotate synchronously through the connecting plate 603. At this time, when the second infrared sensor 7 detects that one of the infrared sensors 604 has moved away, and then completes the docking detection with the other infrared sensor 604, the control terminal 2 controls the second reversible motor 609 to stop working. Then, the above operation is repeated to tap.
[0042] This design allows for 90-degree rotation adjustment of the tapping components, increasing work efficiency.

Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
