Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve stem technology, and in particular to a thread tapping device for valve stem processing. Background Technology
[0002] The valve stem is an important component of a valve, used for transmission. It connects to the actuator or handle at the top and directly drives the valve core to move or rotate, thereby realizing the valve's opening and closing or regulating function. During the valve stem manufacturing process, the end side of the valve stem needs to be tapped.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (application number "202322534628.7") that discloses "a thread tapping device for valve stem processing." This tapping device includes a worktable with a circulation assembly for coolant circulation on its lower end face. The upper end of the worktable is respectively equipped with a clamping assembly for fixing the valve stem and a tool holder assembly for tapping. The circulation assembly includes a housing, a liquid inlet, a positioning groove, a clamping plate, a first filter screen, a positioning part, a side flow plate, a fixing cylinder, a second filter screen, a water pump, and a rotating nozzle. However, this tapping device requires frequent clamping of the valve stem during use, making it unsuitable for mass production of valve stems and resulting in low work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a thread tapping device for valve stem processing, which solves the problem that the tapping device proposed in the prior art requires frequent clamping of the valve stem when tapping the end side of the valve stem, making it unsuitable for mass production of valve stems and resulting in low work efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A thread tapping device for valve stem machining includes a base plate and a mounting mechanism. The mounting mechanism includes two mounting plates welded to the top outer wall of the base plate and two unloading plates bolted to opposite outer walls of the two mounting plates. A feeding assembly is provided above the mounting plates, including a feeding hopper with an arc-shaped groove at the bottom. A conveying assembly is provided between the two mounting plates, including a conveying motor, a mounting shaft connected to one end of the output shaft of the conveying motor via a coupling, and a conveying roller with a U-shaped mounting groove on its outer wall. An extrusion device is provided above the base plate. The extrusion assembly includes a fixed plate bolted to one outer wall of two mounting plates, an extrusion cylinder bolted to one outer wall of the fixed plate, a connecting plate bolted to one end of the piston rod of the extrusion cylinder, and an extrusion block bolted to one outer wall of the connecting plate. Each of the two mounting plates is equipped with a tapping assembly, which includes an adjusting cylinder, a connecting plate bolted to one end of the piston rod of the adjusting cylinder at its lower part, a tapping motor bolted to the upper outer wall of one side of the connecting plate, a drive shaft penetrating and slidably mounted on the outer wall of the mounting plate, and a tap.
[0007] Preferably, each of the two mounting plates has two stabilizing plates bolted to one side of its outer wall, and the four stabilizing plates are bolted to the top outer wall of the base plate.
[0008] Preferably, mounting blocks are bolted to the outer walls on both sides of the feeding hopper, and the two mounting blocks are bolted to the top outer walls of the two mounting plates respectively. Several reinforcing plates are welded to the inner walls of the two mounting blocks.
[0009] Preferably, a mounting bracket is welded to one side of the outer wall of the mounting plate, and the conveying motor is bolted to the outer wall of the mounting bracket. The two ends of the mounting shaft pass through and are connected to the outer walls of the two mounting plates through bearings, and the conveying roller is connected to the outer wall of the mounting shaft through a pin.
[0010] Preferably, two limiting rods are bolted to one outer wall of the connecting plate, and the two limiting rods are respectively inserted through and slidably installed on the outer wall of the fixing plate.
[0011] The above scheme stores multiple valve stems in a hopper. The output shaft of the conveyor motor rotates, causing the conveyor roller to rotate, so that a single valve stem in the hopper falls into the mounting groove on the conveyor roller. Then, the output shaft of the conveyor motor drives the conveyor roller and the valve stem to rotate at a certain angle, so that the inner wall of the mounting groove is horizontal. The piston rod of the extrusion cylinder drives the extrusion block to move, so that the extrusion block is located in the mounting groove. The extrusion block and the mounting groove cooperate with each other to extrude and fix the valve stem.
[0012] Preferably, a T-shaped fixing frame is welded to the top outer wall of the base plate, and one end of the fixing frame is welded to the outer wall of one side of the mounting plate. The adjusting cylinder is connected to the outer wall of one side of the fixing frame by bolts. The bottom of the connecting plate abuts against the upper outer wall of the fixing frame. The drive shaft is connected to the outer wall of one end of the tapping motor output shaft by a coupling, and one end of the drive shaft is connected to a mounting component by bolts. One end of the tap is inserted into the mounting component by fastening bolts.
[0013] The above scheme uses one of the adjusting cylinder piston rods to drive the connecting plate, tapping motor and tap to move. The output shaft of the tapping motor drives the transmission shaft and tap to rotate. While the transmission shaft rotates, it also moves along the axis, so that the tap contacts the end of the valve stem that needs to be tapped and taps the valve stem.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The feeding hopper stores multiple valve stems. The output shaft of the conveyor motor rotates, causing the conveyor roller to rotate, so that a single valve stem in the feeding hopper falls into the mounting groove on the conveyor roller. Then, the output shaft of the conveyor motor drives the conveyor roller and the valve stem to rotate at a certain angle, making the inner wall of the mounting groove horizontal. The piston rod of the extrusion cylinder drives the extrusion block to move, so that the extrusion block is located in the mounting groove. The extrusion block and the mounting groove cooperate to extrude and fix the valve stem. This eliminates the need for frequent clamping during tapping, simplifies the operation steps, and is suitable for large-scale valve stem production, improving work efficiency.
