Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower head technology, and in particular to an automatic drilling device for processing water-saving stainless steel shower heads. Background Technology

[0002] A shower head, also known as a watering can, was originally a device for watering flowers, potted plants, and other plants. Later, it was modified into a shower fixture, making it a common bathroom accessory. Because modern shower heads need to be corrosion-resistant, they are typically made of stainless steel.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN211619155U discloses a batch drilling equipment for shower head production, including a bracket, several identical material boxes, and an etching machine. The etching machine has a feeding conveyor belt at its end, and the bracket is installed on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt. This utility model relates to the field of bathroom accessory processing technology. This batch drilling equipment for shower head production is based on existing etching processes. On this basis, it uses an automatic feeding device to automatically place materials, which speeds up work efficiency, effectively increases production capacity, and reduces the labor intensity of workers. Furthermore, by reducing manual intervention, it reduces errors during placement, increases processing accuracy, and thus effectively improves product quality. The entire equipment has a simple design structure and low cost, making it particularly suitable for batch assembly by small and medium-sized enterprises.

[0004] In the above solution, when it is necessary to drill holes in the top sprayer, it is impossible to fix the top sprayer panel with a curved surface. The existing method of drilling holes in the top sprayer is to clamp both ends of the top sprayer panel and drill holes in an orderly manner through a drilling device. However, the pressure generated during drilling will cause slight deformation of the top sprayer panel and is prone to deviation in drilling of the top sprayer panel, which will affect the quality of the top sprayer. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems that existing drilling devices cannot fix curved top spray panels, and that the pressure generated during drilling can cause slight deformation of the top spray panel and easily lead to deviations in the drilling, affecting the quality of the top spray, this utility model proposes an automatic drilling device for processing water-saving stainless steel shower heads.

[0006] This utility model proposes an automatic drilling device for processing water-saving stainless steel shower heads and faucets, including a frame, a drilling component fixedly installed on the upper surface of the frame, a lifting platform fixedly installed on the upper surface of the frame, and a moving component fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support of the lifting platform.

[0007] The outer surface of the slider of the moving component is provided with a clamping device, which includes an adsorption suction cup for adsorbing and fixing the top spray panel to be processed.

[0008] Preferably, the moving part includes a moving component, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the lifting platform. A mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the slider of the moving component, and a displacement component is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mounting bracket.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the position of the top spray panel can be adjusted by the moving component, which facilitates the drilling component to drill holes in a rectangular array. Both the displacement component and the moving component are driven by a motor to rotate the lead screw, which drives the slider to move on the lead screw and the slide bar. A sealing folding sleeve is fitted on the outer surface of the lead screw.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping device further includes a clamping hydraulic cylinder, which is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mounting frame, and a clamping jaw is fixedly installed on one end of the piston rod of the clamping hydraulic cylinder;

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the clamping hydraulic cylinder can clamp the top spray panel with a small clamping claw, thereby pushing the top spray panel to move and making it easy to switch the position of the top spray panel for drilling.

[0012] Preferably, a support housing is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the slider of the moving component, a miniature hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support housing, and a piezoelectric thin film sensor is fixedly installed on one end of the piston rod of the miniature hydraulic cylinder.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, by using the gap between the top spray panel and the supporting shell, and by pushing the upper and lower micro hydraulic cylinders, the suction cup can adsorb and press the middle top spray panel to fix it. The top spray panel is located on both sides of the drilling position, so that it can bear the pressure during drilling, disperse the pressure, and reduce the deformation of the top spray panel during drilling. The piezoelectric film sensor can detect the pressure of the suction cup.

[0014] Preferably, one end of the piston rod of the micro hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted to one end of the adsorption suction cup via a connecting frame, and the upper end of the adsorption suction cup is in contact with the outer surface of the piezoelectric thin film sensor.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, by installing the adsorption suction cup and the micro hydraulic cylinder, the micro hydraulic cylinder can drive the adsorption suction cup to move, and the piezoelectric thin film sensor can detect the pressure of the adsorption suction cup by contacting the adsorption suction cup.

[0016] Preferably, one end of the suction cup is fixedly connected to a solenoid valve via a connecting pipe, one end of the solenoid valve is fixedly connected to a delivery pipe, and one end of the delivery pipe passes through the outer surface of the supporting shell and is fixedly connected to a connecting hose.

[0017] The above technical solution allows for the control of multiple suction cups via a solenoid valve, thereby controlling the suction force of the suction cups. The delivery pipe facilitates gas delivery, and the connecting hose facilitates the movement of the delivery pipe.

[0018] Preferably, a scraper is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the supporting shell, and the scraper is composed of an inclined plate and a silicone pad wrapped around the inclined plate.

[0019] With the above technical solution, the relative scrapers can contact the upper and lower surfaces of the top spray panel, which makes it easier to scrape away debris from the surface of the top spray panel when moving its position, thus reducing the impact on the suction cup.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] By incorporating a clamping device, the shower head overhead panel can be clamped, and the clamping position can be switched according to the drilling position. This reduces the damage to the shower head overhead panel caused by pressure during drilling and reduces scratches left by existing clamps. Through the gap between the overhead panel and the supporting shell, the upper and lower micro hydraulic cylinders push the suction cups to adhere and press the central overhead panel, thus fixing it in place. Positioned on both sides of the drilling position, the suction cups distribute the pressure during drilling, reducing deformation of the overhead panel. The piezoelectric film sensor can detect the pressure of the suction cups, further reducing deformation of the overhead panel during drilling. This solves the technical problems of existing drilling devices being unable to fix overhead panels with curved surfaces, the pressure generated during drilling causing slight deformation of the overhead panel, and the tendency for drilling deviations to affect the quality of the shower head.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 An automatic drilling device for processing water-saving stainless steel shower heads includes a frame 1. A drilling component 11 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the frame 1. The drilling component 11 is composed of a drill rod driven by a motor and is raised and lowered by a lifting hydraulic cylinder to complete the drilling. A lifting platform 12 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the frame 1. The lifting platform 12 is composed of a platform and a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder pushes the platform to rise and fall. A moving part is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support of the lifting platform 12.

[0030] Specifically, the moving component includes a moving assembly 2, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the lifting platform 12. A mounting bracket 21 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the slider of the moving assembly 2, and a displacement assembly 22 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mounting bracket 21. The position of the top spray panel can be adjusted by the moving assembly 2, which facilitates the drilling component 11 to drill holes in a rectangular array. Both the displacement assembly 22 and the moving assembly 2 are driven by a motor to rotate the lead screw, which drives the slider to move on the lead screw and the slide bar. A sealing folding sleeve is sleeved on the outer surface of the lead screw. The lead screw of the displacement assembly 22 is a double-ended lead screw.

[0031] In order to hold the top spray panel, a clamping device is provided on the outer surface of the slider of the moving part. The clamping device includes an adsorption suction cup 35, which adsorbs and fixes the top spray panel to be processed.

[0032] Specifically, in order to push the top spray panel to change the drilling position, the clamping device also includes a clamping hydraulic cylinder 3. The clamping hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mounting bracket 21, and a clamping claw 31 is fixedly installed on one end of the piston rod of the clamping hydraulic cylinder 3.

[0033] The clamping hydraulic cylinder 3 can clamp the top spray panel through the small clamping claw 31, thereby pushing the top spray panel to move and making it easy to switch the position of the top spray panel for drilling.

[0034] Specifically, in order to facilitate the fixing of the top spray panel during drilling, a support housing 32 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the slider of the moving component 2. A miniature hydraulic cylinder 33 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support housing 32. The model of the miniature hydraulic cylinder 33 is MGJ6-15. The hydraulic pump of the miniature hydraulic cylinder 33 can be installed in the frame 1. The pipeline involved is located in the support housing 32. A piezoelectric thin film sensor 34 is fixedly installed at one end of the piston rod of the miniature hydraulic cylinder 33. The model of the piezoelectric thin film sensor 34 is Minisense 100.

[0035] Through the gap between the top spray panel and the supporting housing 32, the upper and lower micro hydraulic cylinders 33 push the suction cup 35 to suction and press the middle top spray panel, thus fixing the top spray panel and positioning it on both sides of the drilling position. This allows the top spray panel to bear pressure and disperse pressure during drilling, reducing deformation of the top spray panel during drilling. The piezoelectric film sensor 34 can detect the pressure of the suction cup 35.

[0036] Specifically, one end of the piston rod of the miniature hydraulic cylinder 33 is fixedly installed to one end of the adsorption cup 35 via a connecting frame. The adsorption cup 35 is model TPJ30-SI-55, and the upper end of the adsorption cup 35 is in contact with the outer surface of the piezoelectric thin film sensor 34.

[0037] The suction cup 35 is installed with a micro hydraulic cylinder 33, which can push the suction cup 35 to move. The piezoelectric film sensor 34 is in contact with the suction cup 35 and can detect the pressure of the suction cup 35.

[0038] Specifically, one end of the suction cup 35 is fixedly connected to a solenoid valve 36 via a connecting pipe, one end of the solenoid valve 36 is fixedly connected to a delivery pipe 37, one end of the delivery pipe 37 passes through the outer surface of the supporting housing 32 and is fixedly connected to a connecting hose 38, one end of the connecting hose 38 is fixedly connected to a vacuum pump, and the vacuum pump is used to extract the air inside the suction cup. The vacuum pump can be installed in the frame 1 to reduce the air pressure inside the suction cup and create a vacuum area, thereby making the suction cup 35 generate suction.

[0039] The solenoid valve 36 can control multiple suction cups 35, thereby controlling the suction force of the suction cups 35. The delivery pipe 37 facilitates the delivery of gas, and the connecting hose 38 facilitates the movement of the delivery pipe 37.

[0040] Specifically, in order to remove debris from the top spray panel, a scraper 39 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support housing 32. The scraper 39 consists of an inclined plate and a silicone pad wrapped around the inclined plate.

[0041] The scraper 39 can contact the upper and lower surfaces of the top spray panel, making it easy to scrape away debris from the surface of the top spray panel when moving its position, thus reducing the impact on the suction cup 35.

[0042] Working principle: The top spray panel is inserted into the center of the support shell 32 by manual operation or robotic arm. The clamping hydraulic cylinder 3 pushes the clamping claw 31 to clamp one side of the top spray panel. The suction cup 35 inside the support shell 32 is activated. The micro hydraulic cylinder 33 pushes the suction cup 35 close to the top spray panel. The suction cup 35 is opened by the solenoid valve 36. Gas is delivered through the delivery pipe 37 and connecting hose 38. The suction cup 35 adsorbs the top spray panel. The drilling component 11 descends to drill holes in the top spray panel. The moving component 2 is activated to move the mounting frame 21 and switch the drilling position. After one row of drilling positions is completed, the clamping hydraulic cylinder 3 on one side pulls the top spray panel by clamping claw 31, while the clamping hydraulic cylinder 3 on the other side pushes the top spray panel by clamping claw 31. The suction cup 35 is closed. At the same time, the micro hydraulic cylinder 33 is activated to raise the suction cup 35, releasing the fixation of the top spray panel. After switching positions, drilling continues.

[0043] The distance between the two sets of supporting shells 32 can be adjusted by activating the displacement component 22, which facilitates corresponding adjustments according to different drilling spacing.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
