[0062] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0063] like Figures 1-7 As shown:

[0064] Example 1:

[0065] The drilling and tapping machine includes a base, a gantry 3, a worktable 4, a transmission chain, a clamping device, and a scrap bin 5. The top of the base has a protruding gantry 3, and there are multiple gantry 3s. The top surface of the base has a worktable 4 and a transmission chain. A clamping device is fixed on one side of the transmission chain, which helps the clamping device to form a movable structure. However, the clamping device can pass through the multiple gantry 3s provided on the base. The gantry 3s are respectively provided with drilling modules and tapping modules. The multiple clamping devices help to perform drilling, tapping, loading and unloading operations simultaneously, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0066] The transmission chain is located between the machine base 2 and the worktable 4. The transmission chain includes a first chain 6 and a second chain 60. A protruding support rod is provided on one side of the machine base 2. The support rod includes a first rod 22 and a second rod 23. The inner surfaces of the first chain 6 and the second chain 60 are in contact with one side of the first rod 22 and the second rod 23. The transmission chain is supported by the support rod, which helps to reduce the sagging and vibration of the transmission chain.

[0067] The first chain 6 and the second chain 60 are provided with a drive shaft 62 on one side. There are at least two drive shafts 62, which helps the drive chain to form a cyclic rotation structure. One end of the drive shaft 62 passes through the inside of the transmission drive device 200 and the other end passes through the inside of the bearing seat 201, thus enabling the drive chain to achieve a cyclic rotation structure.

[0068] The fixture device includes a base 7, a clamping block 70 and a drive shaft 71. One side of the base 7 is fixed to the top surface of the first chain 6 and the second chain 60. However, the fixture device forms a movable structure, which helps the bottom surface of the fixture device and the top surface of the worktable 4 to form a structure that can be attached. When the fixture device is on the top surface of the worktable 4, it helps to improve the stability of the fixture device during processing.

[0069] The base 7 has a sliding groove 72 on one side, and the bottom of the clamping block 70 is in sliding fit with the sliding groove 72. However, the clamping block 70 forms a movable structure and its clamping block 70 is a symmetrical structure. The base 7 has a structure for clamping the workpiece through the movement of the clamping block 70, which helps to improve the stability of the workpiece processing.

[0070] The base 7 has a protruding fixed seat 74 on its side and a drive seat 700 on one side of the clamping block 70. The fixed seat 74 and the drive seat 700 are opposite to each other, and the drive shaft 71 passes through the hole provided in the fixed seat 74 and the drive seat 700. The clamping block 70 is movable by the drive of the drive shaft 71.

[0071] Furthermore, the clamping block 70 has a symmetrical structure, but it forms an automatically centered structure through the drive shaft 71.

[0072] The worktable 4 and the gantry 3 are opposite structures, but the worktable provides support during machining, thereby improving the stability of the fixture device during machining.

[0073] The workbench 4 is located on the top surface of the first rod 22. The base 2 of this application has a symmetrical structure. The workbench 4 and the first rod 22 are connected by bolts. However, the symmetrically arranged base 2 forms an integral structure.

[0074] The workbench 4 has a central opening 40. The workbench 4 has multiple drainage grooves 41 on both sides of the opening 40. One end of each drainage groove 41 is closed, while the other end is connected to the opening 40. This facilitates the discharge of iron filings generated during processing to the central opening 40. The iron filings are discharged through the flow of the emulsion. The emulsion structure used in this application is existing technology and is not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0075] The interior of the scrap bin 5 is opposite to the opening 40, which helps to generate iron filings during processing, and the emulsion used for cooling is drained into the interior of the scrap bin 5;

[0076] The scrap bin 5 is inserted between the first rod 22 and the second rod 23, which are vertically opposite each other. However, since the scrap bin 5 is inserted inside the machine base and the scrap bin 5 is opposite to the worktable 4, it is convenient to collect the iron filings generated by drilling and tapping, as well as the emulsion used for cooling.

[0077] The gantry base 3 is located on the top surface of the fixed plate 21, and the fixed plate 21 is located on the top surface of the machine base 2, through... Figure 2 As shown, the fixing plate 21 and the gantry seat 3 are connected by a keyway, which helps to improve the stability of the gantry seat 2 during installation;

[0078] The gantry 3 includes a longitudinal drive device 30, a longitudinal shaft 31, a slide 32, and a spindle box 33;

[0079] A card holder 34 is provided on one side of the gantry 3. The card holder 34 and the slide 32 are in a sliding fit structure. However, the slide 32 forms a slidable structure.

[0080] The longitudinal drive device 30 is provided with a longitudinal shaft 31 at one end. The longitudinal shaft 31 passes through a hole provided on one side of the gantry seat 3 and the slide 32, thereby realizing the sliding structure of the slide 32, which helps the tapping machine to process multiple holes and tap the structure.

[0081] The slide 32 has a spindle box 33 on one side and a spindle drive device 330 on the other side; the spindle box 33 is located at one end of the spindle drive device 330, and the spindle drive device 330 adopts an internal transmission mechanism (existing technology) to help the tool provided in the spindle box 33 form a lifting and lowering machining structure.

[0082] The gantry 3 of this application is equipped with a drilling module and a tapping module. However, the tapping machine can perform hole opening and tapping processing to realize an integrated drilling and tapping structure.

[0083] The above-mentioned drive devices can be motors or cylinders.

[0084] Example 2:

[0085] The first chain 6 and the second chain 60 are equipped with multiple rollers 61, which can be existing technology, but reduce power loss.

[0086] Example 3:

[0087] The other side of the clamping block 70 is provided with a protruding locking seat 701. When the clamping block 70 moves in the center, the clamping block 70 connects with the end of the workpiece through the locking seat 701, and has a structure for locking the workpiece.

[0088] The lock seat 701 of this application has a groove structure inside, which helps to stabilize the end of the workpiece when it passes through the lock seat 701. However, during processing, it can improve the stability of the workpiece.

[0089] Example 4:

[0090] The drive shaft 71 has positioning plates 710 at both ends and a handle 711 in the middle. The positioning plates 710 and the fixed seat 74 are in contact with each other. However, the drive shaft 71 forms a fixed position. When the drive shaft 71 rotates, it helps the clamping block 70 to achieve a centered movement.

[0091] The handle 711 located in the middle of the drive shaft 71 facilitates the user's operation of the structure of the drive shaft 71.

[0092] Example 5:

[0093] The other side of the base 7 is provided with a through groove 73, which is a hollow structure. However, the through groove 73 and the drain groove 41 provided on the worktable 4 form a connected structure, which facilitates the drainage of iron filings and emulsion.

[0094] Example 6:

[0095] The waste bin 5 has an inclined structure inside, and a slot 50 is provided on one side of the waste bin 5, with the inclined end being the position of the slot 50, which helps the emulsion to drain to the position of the slot 50.

[0096] The waste bin 5 has a protruding pipe 51 on the other side. The pipe 51 has a pipe groove 510 inside. The pipe groove 510 is connected to the card slot 50 on one side, which facilitates the recycling of emulsion.

[0097] The slot 50 is provided with a first filter screen 500 and a second filter screen 501. The first filter screen 500 and the second filter screen 501 are in a close-fitting structure. Preferably, the first filter screen 500 and the second filter screen 501 can be covered by filter cloth to reduce the discharge of iron filings into the tank for recycling emulsion.

[0098] Example 7:

[0099] The other side of the base 2 is provided with a protruding support plate 20. The top surface of the support plate 20 is provided with a transmission drive device 200 and a bearing seat 201, thereby improving the stability of the transmission drive device 200 and the bearing seat 201.

[0100] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
