[0002] In the field of coupling processing, specialized equipment is often required for various processing operations. In modern industrial production, to meet the high-precision and diverse requirements of different mechanical equipment for couplings, processing companies often perform targeted drilling, reaming, and tapping on various couplings. However, traditional equipment lacks the functions of automated processing and multi-process operation. As a result, processing efficiency is severely restricted due to the reliance on a large amount of manual operation. When faced with complex processing requirements, it is easy to make it difficult to guarantee processing accuracy, which can lead to unstable product quality. This not only affects the company's production efficiency, putting the company at a disadvantage in market competition, but also increases production costs due to frequent manual intervention and inspection, thus hindering the company's large-scale development and technological upgrading.

The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Example:

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides an automatic processing equipment for couplings, including a support platform 11 and a coupling body 43. The support platform 11 has multiple sets of placement cavities, one of which is equipped with an instrument plate 12. The instrument plate 12 is equipped with an operation panel 13 and a first controller 15. The first controller 15 can be an Allen-Bradley Micro 800 controller. The operation panel 13 is equipped with a rotating assembly. The rotating assembly includes a rotating disk 14, which is located on the instrument plate 12. The instrument plate 12 is equipped with a first motor, and the shaft end of the first motor passes through the operation panel 13 and is connected to the rotating disk 14. The rotating disk 14 is equipped with an air supply seat 16. Several pneumatic clamps for clamping the coupling body 43 are provided on the outside of the air supply seat 16. The pneumatic clamps include a first cylinder 17, a fixed clamping block 18, and a movable clamping block 44 that can slide relative to the fixed clamping block 18 driven by the first cylinder 17. The several pneumatic clamps are respectively connected to the air supply seat 16 through air pipes.

[0025] Specifically, the support platform 11 serves as the basic support structure of the equipment, and multiple placement cavities can accommodate different functional components in a categorized manner, ensuring that the overall layout of the equipment is compact and orderly; the instrument board 12 provides a mounting carrier for the operation panel 13 and the first controller 15, forming the core area for the operation and control of the equipment; in the rotating assembly, the first motor provides rotational power to the rotating disk 14, enabling the rotating disk 14 to drive the pneumatic clamp and the clamped coupling body 43 to pass through each processing station in sequence, realizing continuous production; the air supply seat 16 delivers a stable air source to the pneumatic clamp through an air pipe, and the first cylinder 17 drives the movable clamping block 44 to cooperate with the fixed clamping block 18 to quickly complete the clamping and loosening of the coupling body 43, ensuring the workpiece positioning during processing and avoiding processing deviations caused by vibration.

[0026] The outer side of the operating panel 13 is provided with a feeding channel 19 and a discharging channel 21. A clamping device is also provided on one side of the feeding channel 19 and the discharging channel 21. A first drilling device 22, a second drilling device 23 and a tapping device 24 are provided between the feeding channel 19 and the discharging channel 21. The clamping device includes a bracket 25, a second cylinder 26, a slide 27, a third cylinder 28 and a fourth cylinder 29, a support 31 and a gripper 32. The second cylinder 26 is fixed on the bracket 25 and the cylinder column of the second cylinder 26 is connected to the slide 27. The third cylinder 28 is fixed on the slide 27 and the cylinder column of the third cylinder 28 is connected to the support 31. The fourth cylinder 29 is fixed on the support 31 and the cylinder column of the fourth cylinder 29 is connected to the gripper 32.

[0027] Specifically, the feeding channel 19 is responsible for conveying the coupling body 43 to be processed to the processing area, while the discharging channel 21 conveys the finished product to the collection point; the clamping device undertakes the task of transferring the coupling between various workstations, the bracket 25 provides stable support for each cylinder assembly, the second cylinder 26 drives the slide 27 to achieve lateral position adjustment, the third cylinder 28 drives the support 31 to complete the lifting action, and the fourth cylinder 29 controls the opening and closing of the gripper 32 to grab or release the coupling. The coordinated action of multiple cylinders ensures that the transfer process is efficient; the first drilling device 22, the second drilling device 23, and the tapping device 24 are distributed sequentially along the rotation path to complete different processing steps of the coupling.

[0028] The feed channel 19 has a groove at its output end for receiving the coupling.

[0029] Specifically, the groove connects with the output end of the feed channel 19, which can limit the coupling body 43 that is conveyed, ensuring that it remains stable in the position to be gripped, avoiding the failure of the gripping device to grip due to position deviation, and improving the reliability of the feeding process.

[0030] The output end of the discharge channel 21 is provided with a recycling frame for receiving the coupling.

[0031] Specifically, the recycling box is located at the end of the discharge channel 21, which can collect the processed coupling bodies 43 in a centralized manner, facilitating subsequent unified sorting, handling and inspection, reducing the tediousness of manual collection and improving the continuity of the production process. The input end of the feed channel 19 is equipped with a vibratory feeder 42 for transporting the coupling bodies 43, and the output end of the vibratory feeder 42 is connected to the input end of the feed channel 19.

[0032] Specifically, the vibratory feeder 42 uses vibration to organize the disorderly stacked coupling bodies 43 into an orderly state and automatically transports them to the feeding channel 19, realizing automated feeding of raw materials, reducing manual intervention, and ensuring that the feeding rhythm matches the processing speed of the equipment, thereby improving overall production efficiency.

[0033] The first drilling device 22, the second drilling device 23, and the tapping device 24 are all composed of a second motor 33, a drill bit 34, and a cutting tool. The cutting tool is located on the drill bit 34, and the second motor 33 is electrically connected to the first controller 15.

[0034] The cutting tools installed on the drill bits 34 of both the first drilling device 22 and the second drilling device 23 are drilling tools.

[0035] The tapping device 24 and drill bit 34 are all tapping tools.

[0036] Specifically, the second motor 33 provides rotational power to the drill bit 34 and the cutting tool. The drilling tools of the first drilling device 22 and the second drilling device 23 can respectively drill holes in the coupling with different diameters or positions. The tapping tool of the tapping device 24 performs internal thread processing on the drilled hole, realizing continuous operation of drilling and tapping. The first controller 15 ensures processing accuracy and efficiency by controlling the start, stop and speed of the second motor 33.

[0037] The first controller 15 is connected to the first cylinder 17, the second cylinder 26, the third cylinder 28, and the fourth cylinder 29 respectively. The device also has a second controller, which can be a PLC controller. The PLC controller is also connected to the first cylinder 17, the second cylinder 26, the third cylinder 28, and the fourth cylinder 29. This controller is not shown in the figure.

[0038] Specifically, the first controller 15 and the second controller, as the control core of the equipment, work together to coordinate the timing and stroke of each cylinder through a preset program. For example, the first controller 15 controls the first cylinder 17 to adjust the clamping force of the pneumatic clamp, and the second controller controls the second cylinder 26, the third cylinder 28, and the fourth cylinder 29 to cooperate in completing the lateral movement, lifting and grasping actions of the clamping device, thereby realizing the automated connection of processes such as loading, processing, transfer and unloading, greatly reducing manual operation and improving production accuracy and efficiency.

[0039] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0040] In use, the coupling bodies 43 to be processed are first automatically sorted and conveyed by the vibratory feeder 42. The output end of the vibratory feeder 42 is connected to the input end of the feeding channel 19, allowing the couplings to enter the feeding channel 19 in an orderly manner. The output end of the feeding channel 19 is provided with a groove for receiving the couplings. This groove can align the couplings and ensure their position, facilitating subsequent gripping by the clamping device. At this time, the second cylinder 26 of the clamping device drives the slide 27 to move horizontally along the support 25 above the feeding channel 19, the third cylinder 28 drives the support 31 to descend, bringing the gripper 32 close to the coupling, and the fourth cylinder 29 controls the gripper 32 to close, firmly gripping the coupling.

[0041] Next, the second cylinder 26 drives the slide 27 to move above the pneumatic clamp on the rotating disk 14, and the third cylinder 28 drives the support 31 to descend, placing the coupling between the fixed clamping block 18 and the movable clamping block 44 of the pneumatic clamp. The first cylinder 17 drives the movable clamping block 44 to slide relative to the fixed clamping block 18, clamping the coupling. Subsequently, the first motor drives the rotating disk 14 to rotate, sequentially conveying the clamped coupling to the first drilling device 22, the second drilling device 23, and the tapping device 24. The second motor 33 of each device drives the drill bit 34 and the cutting tool to rotate, respectively drilling, secondary drilling, and tapping the coupling.

[0042] After the coupling completes all processing steps, the rotating disk 14 rotates it to one side of the discharge channel 21. The clamping device then operates again, grabbing the processed coupling and moving it above the discharge channel 21. The fourth cylinder 29 controls the jaws 32 to open, allowing the coupling to fall into the discharge channel 21. The output end of the discharge channel 21 is equipped with a recycling box for receiving the coupling. The recycling box can collect the finished products, facilitating unified sorting and transportation.

[0043] Throughout the process, the first controller 15 and the second controller cooperate to perform control functions. Both the first controller 15 and the second controller are connected to the pneumatic circuits and electrical circuits of the first cylinder 17, the second cylinder 26, the third cylinder 28, and the fourth cylinder 29, respectively. They control the sequence and timing of each cylinder's actions through a preset program. For example, the first controller 15 controls the first cylinder 17 to adjust the clamping force of the pneumatic clamp, while the second controller controls the second cylinder 26, the third cylinder 28, and the fourth cylinder 29 to coordinate the lateral movement, lifting, and gripping actions of the clamping device. This achieves automated connection of processes such as feeding, processing, transfer, and unloading, ensuring stable operation of the coupling during processing. Simultaneously, the first controller 15 is also connected to the second motor 33 of each device, coordinating and controlling the processing sequence and parameters to achieve a fully automated process from feeding and processing to unloading.

[0044] Its main functions are as follows: the vibration plate 42 and the groove of the feeding channel 19 cooperate to realize the automatic feeding and positioning of the coupling, improving the feeding efficiency; the clamping device realizes the transfer of the coupling between various workstations through the coordinated action of multiple cylinders, avoiding human operation errors; the fixed clamping block 18 and the movable clamping block 44 of the pneumatic clamp clamp the coupling, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the processing process; the first drilling device 22, the second drilling device 23 and the tapping device 24 process in sequence to realize continuous operation of multiple processes and improve processing efficiency; the discharge channel 21 cooperates with the recycling frame to complete the automatic unloading and collection of finished products; the centralized control of controllers with different functions makes the operation of the entire equipment coordinated and consistent, greatly improving the degree of production automation, reducing manual intervention, reducing labor intensity, and at the same time improving product quality and production efficiency, and reducing production costs.

[0045] Working principle of the equipment: The coupling body 43 is conveyed to the feed channel 19 by the vibratory plate 42. The first coupling body 43 will be stuck in the groove of the feed channel 19. When the rotating plate 14 is driven by the first motor to rotate a pneumatic clamp to the side of the clamping device at the feed channel 19, the first cylinder 17 of the pneumatic clamp drives the movable clamping block 44 to move away from the fixed clamping block 18 so as to receive the coupling body 43 placed by the clamping device. At the same time, the clamping device at the feed channel 19 moves to clamp the coupling body 43 stuck in the groove of the feed channel 19 and place it on the pneumatic clamp that has rotated to the bottom of the clamping device. After the coupling body 43 is placed, the first cylinder 17 of the pneumatic clamp drives the movable clamping block 44 to move towards the fixed clamping block 18 so as to clamp the coupling body 43.

[0046] As the rotating disk 14 continues to rotate, after the first coupling body 43 in the groove is removed, the adjacent coupling body 43 will enter the groove. When the pneumatic clamp containing the coupling body 43 rotates to below the first drilling device 22, the second motor 33 of the first drilling device 22 will start and drive the drill bit 34 to move downward. The drilling tool on the drill bit 34 will drill holes in the rubber parts on the outside of the coupling body 43. At the same time, another pneumatic clamp will rotate to below the clamping device at the feed channel 19, and the clamping device will clamp another coupling body 43 and place it on the pneumatic clamp below the clamping device.

[0047] As the rotating disk 14 continues to rotate, when the coupling body 43, after the outer rubber part has been drilled, rotates to below the second drilling device 23, the second motor 33 of the second drilling device 23 will start and drive the drill bit 34 to move downward. The drilling tool on the drill bit 34 will drill the aluminum alloy part inside the rubber part of the coupling body 43. At the same time, another pneumatic clamp equipped with the coupling body 43 will rotate to below the first drilling device 22 and the first drilling device 22 will drill the rubber part of the coupling body 43. Another pneumatic clamp will rotate to below the clamping device at the feed channel 19 and the clamping device will clamp another coupling body 43 and place it on the pneumatic clamp below the clamping device.

[0048] As the rotating disk 14 continues to rotate, when the coupling body 43, after the aluminum alloy part inside the rubber component has been drilled, rotates to below the tapping device 24, the second motor 33 of the tapping device 24 will start and drive the drill bit 34 to move downward. The tapping tool on the drill bit 34 will tap the hole in the aluminum alloy part of the coupling body 43. At the same time, the coupling body 43, after the other outer rubber component has been drilled, will rotate to the second drilling device 23. The second drilling device 23 will drill the aluminum alloy part inside the rubber component of the coupling body 43. Another coupling body 43 will also rotate to below the first drilling device 22. The first drilling device 22 will drill the rubber component of the coupling body 43. Another pneumatic clamp will also rotate to below the clamping device at the feed channel 19. The clamping device will then clamp the other coupling body 43 and place it on the pneumatic clamp below the clamping device.

[0049] As the rotating disk 14 continues to rotate, when the coupling body 43, after the aluminum alloy part inside the rubber component has been tapped, rotates to the clamping device on one side of the discharge channel 21, the first cylinder 17 of the pneumatic clamp that clamps the coupling body 43 drives the movable clamping block 44 to move away from the fixed clamping block 18, thus no longer clamping the coupling body 43. The clamping device then clamps the coupling body 43 and places it into the discharge channel 21, where it slides down into the recycling frame at the output end. Simultaneously, other pneumatic clamps also rotate to the clamping device, the first drilling device 22, the second drilling device 23, and the tapping device 24 at the feeding channel 19 to perform corresponding feeding or processing. This allows for simultaneous feeding, drilling, tapping, and discharging, resulting in high processing efficiency.

[0050] The working principle of the clamping device for clamping the coupling body 43 is as follows: the second cylinder 26 drives the slide 27 to move back and forth on the bracket 25; the third cylinder 28 drives the support 31 to move up and down; and the fourth cylinder 29 drives the gripper 32 to open or close. When the clamping device is working, the fourth cylinder 29 first drives the gripper 32 to open, the third cylinder 28 drives the slide 27 to descend so that the gripper 32 clamps on both sides of the coupling body 43, and then the fourth cylinder 29 drives the gripper 32 to close. Then, the third cylinder 28 drives the slide 27 to rise, and the second cylinder 26 drives the slide 27 to move forward, so that the coupling body 43 is aligned with the pneumatic clamp next to the rotating disk 14. Then, the third cylinder 28 drives the slide 27 to fall so that the gripper 32 reaches the pneumatic clamp. At this time, the fourth cylinder 29 drives the gripper 32 to open and release the coupling body 43. The third cylinder 28 drives the slide 27 to rise, and then the second cylinder 26 drives the slide 27 to move backward to the initial position.

[0051] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
