Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to tapping with a clamp, specifically a tapping device with a clamp. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, anchor wedges are fixed to a fixture by operators before tapping using a radial drill or similar equipment. After tapping, the wedges are removed from the fixture. This process is inefficient, labor-intensive, and cannot keep up with production demands. Therefore, a wedge tapping device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping tapping device to solve the above problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a clamping tapping device, comprising a frame, a controller, a worktable mounted on the frame, and a tapping machine placed on the frame; characterized in that it further comprises a material rack mounted on the worktable, a material channel set on the material rack, a material cylinder mounted on the material rack and communicating with the material channel and arranged at an inclination for stacking several clamping pieces, a feeder for automatically conveying several clamping pieces arranged in the material channel, and a positioning clamping device mounted on the material rack for positioning and clamping the clamping pieces in the tapping position to achieve limitation; and also comprises an opening groove set on the material cylinder for displaying the amount of clamping pieces stacked in the material cylinder and facilitating unblocking when jamming occurs in the material cylinder.
[0005] A further preferred embodiment includes a pusher disposed at the front end of the positioning clamp for clamping the clamping piece to achieve clamping and positioning, and a positioning groove disposed on the material rack and connected to the material channel in an arc shape.
[0006] More preferably, the front end of the pusher is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the clamping plate.
[0007] A further preferred embodiment includes a contact sensor mounted on the material rack for sensing whether the clamping piece is clamped and positioned.
[0008] More preferably, the feeder and the positioning clamp can both be any one of a pneumatic cylinder, an electric actuator, or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0009] In one embodiment, a collection frame is further included, placed on one side of the workbench, for collecting the completed tapping clamps. The collection frame is provided with an arrangement channel for neatly arranging the clamps, and the channel opening is connected to the material channel.
[0010] In one embodiment, the collection frame is provided with a positioning block, and the material rack is provided with a limiting groove that is adapted to the positioning block so that the channel opening of the discharge channel on the collection frame is aligned with the material channel.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: With the setting of this device, the operator only needs to stack several clamping pieces in the material cylinder to realize the automatic feeding, automatic positioning and clamping, tapping, unloading, and automatic and neat collection of the clamping pieces after unloading. It has a high degree of automation, high efficiency and low manual labor intensity.
[0012] By setting the material cylinder at an angle, it guides and supports the feeding process of the clamping pieces inside the material cylinder, allowing the clamping pieces to move downwards along the angled material cylinder.
[0013] By opening a slot on the barrel, the operator can observe the remaining amount of the clamping plates inside the barrel and replenish the material in a timely manner. At the same time, when the clamping plates stacked in the barrel become stuck, the operator can directly move the clamping plates through the slot to adjust their position, avoiding the need to stop work and disassemble the barrel for maintenance due to the stuck condition.
[0014] By setting up a collection frame and a guide plate on the collection frame, an arrangement channel is formed on the collection frame for neatly arranging the clamping pieces. After the clamping pieces have finished tapping, the feeder pushes them to automatically and neatly arrange them in the collection frame, eliminating the need for manual collection and arrangement.

[0019] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates the present invention's clamping tapping device.
[0020] It should be noted that all directional indicators such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc. in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture as shown in the attached figure. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0021] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly; for example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can also mean a mechanical connection, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] See Figures 1-3 As shown, a clamping tapping device includes a frame 1, a controller, a workbench 2 mounted on the frame 1, and a tapping machine 3 placed on the frame 1; characterized in that it also includes a material rack 4 mounted on the workbench 2, a material channel 41 disposed on the material rack 4, a material cylinder 5 mounted on the material rack 4 and communicating with the material channel 41 and arranged at an incline for stacking a plurality of clamping pieces, a feeder 6 for automatically conveying a plurality of clamping pieces arranged in the material channel 41, and a positioning clamping device 61 mounted on the material rack 4 for positioning and clamping the clamping pieces in the tapping position to achieve a defined limit; it also includes an opening slot 51 disposed on the material cylinder 5 for displaying the amount of clamping pieces stacked in the material cylinder 5 and facilitating unblocking when a jam occurs in the material cylinder 5;
[0023] The feeder 6 and the positioning clamp 61 can both be any one of a pneumatic cylinder, an electric actuator, or a hydraulic cylinder;
[0024] With the setup of this device, operators only need to stack several clamping pieces in the material cylinder 5 to achieve automatic feeding, automatic positioning and clamping, tapping, unloading, and automatic and neat collection of the clamping pieces after unloading. It has a high degree of automation, high efficiency, and low manual labor intensity.
[0025] By setting the material cylinder 5 at an inclination, it plays a guiding and supporting role in the feeding process of the clamping piece in the material cylinder 5, so that the clamping piece moves downward along the inclined material cylinder 5;
[0026] By opening a slot 51 on the material cylinder 5, the operator can observe the remaining amount of the clamping pieces inside the material cylinder 5 through the slot 51 and replenish the material in a timely manner. At the same time, when the clamping pieces stacked inside the material cylinder 5 become stuck, the operator can directly move the clamping pieces through the slot 51 to adjust their position, avoiding the need to stop work and disassemble the material cylinder 5 for maintenance due to the stuck phenomenon.
[0027] In one embodiment, it also includes a pusher 62 disposed at the front end of the positioning clamp 61 for clamping the clamping piece to achieve clamping and positioning, and a positioning groove 42 disposed on the material rack 4 and connected to the material channel 41 in an arc shape.
[0028] The front end of the pusher 62 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 64 that is adapted to the clamping piece; by setting the positioning groove 42 and the pusher 62, the positioning clamp 61 drives the pusher 62 to move and push the clamping piece to be stuck between the positioning groove 42 and the pusher 62, thereby clamping and positioning the clamping piece; by setting the arc-shaped groove 64, the pusher 62 can fit with the clamping piece through the arc-shaped groove 64 when pushing the clamping piece, thereby positioning the clamping piece.
[0029] In one embodiment, a contact sensor 65 is also included, which is installed on the material rack 4 to sense whether the clamping piece is clamped and positioned. With the setting of the contact sensor 65, when the clamping piece is pushed, the clamping and positioning of the clamping piece is completed when the clamping piece comes into contact with the contact sensor 65, and a signal is sent to the controller, which then controls the tapping machine 3 to start tapping.
[0030] In one embodiment, it further includes a collection frame 7 placed on one side of the workbench 2 for collecting the completed tapping clamps. The collection frame 7 is provided with an arrangement channel 72 for neatly arranging the clamps. The channel opening of the arrangement channel 72 is connected to the material channel 41.
[0031] With the arrangement channel 72, after the clamping plate has finished tapping, the feeder 6 pushes it to automatically and neatly arrange the clamping plate in the collection frame 7, eliminating the need for manual collection and arrangement.
[0032] In one embodiment, the collection frame 7 is provided with a positioning block 73, and the material rack 4 is provided with a limiting groove that is adapted to the positioning block 73 so that the channel opening of the discharge channel on the collection frame 7 is aligned with the material channel 41.
[0033] The positioning block 73 and the limiting groove are used to connect and position the collection frame 7 and the material rack 4, so that the channel opening of the arrangement channel 72 on the collection frame 7 is aligned with the outlet of the material channel 41. This avoids misalignment between the channel opening of the arrangement channel 72 and the outlet of the material channel 41, which would cause the clamping piece to be unable to be automatically delivered into the collection frame 7 and cause a blockage, thus preventing normal operation.
[0034] When this utility model is in operation: the operator stacks several clamping pieces in the material cylinder 5. When the clamping piece at the bottom is pushed forward one station by the feeder 6, the several clamping pieces stacked in the material cylinder 5 move downward along the inclined material cylinder 5 by their own gravity until the clamping piece at the bottom falls into the material channel 41.
[0035] When the clamping piece moves to the tapping position, the controller controls the positioning clamping device 61 to start. The positioning clamping device 61 drives the pusher 62 to push the clamping piece forward until one side of the clamping piece moves into the positioning groove 42. When the contact sensor 65 contacts the clamping piece, it sends a signal to the controller. The controller controls the tapping machine 3 to start and tap the clamping piece in the tapping position. After the tapping is completed, the controller controls the positioning clamping device 61 to reset and then controls the feeder 6 to start. The feeder 6 pushes the clamping piece in the material channel 41 forward one station. At this time, the clamping piece at the outlet of the material channel 41 is pushed into the arrangement channel 72 of the collection frame 7 by the push of the feeder 6.
[0036] During operation, when the remaining material in the clamping chamber 5 is insufficient, the operator replenishes the material.
[0037] When the discharge channel inside the collection frame 7 is full of clips, the operator removes the collection frame 7 and replaces it with an empty collection frame 7. When placing the collection frame 7, the positioning block 73 on the collection frame 7 is locked in the limiting groove of the material rack 4 to complete the positioning connection between the collection frame 7 and the material rack 4.
[0038] The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments and their variations. Conventional modifications and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the content of these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
