Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and in particular to a valve stem nut machining and positioning assembly with air blowing. Background Technology
[0002] Positioning fixtures for valve stem nut machining are indispensable special tooling in the machining process. Their main function is to accurately fix the valve stem nut, ensuring its positional accuracy and stability during machining. By firmly clamping the workpiece on the fixture, displacement or loosening under the influence of cutting forces, vibrations and other factors can be effectively prevented, thereby meeting the needs of high-precision machining.
[0003] During the precision machining of valve stem nuts, cutting phenomena are inevitable. The high-speed rotating workpiece and cutting tool generate a large number of chips. These chips are thrown out at high speed under the action of centrifugal force, forming flying chips. These flying chips may not only fall into the key moving parts of the machining equipment, causing equipment wear, jamming, or even damage, affecting production efficiency and equipment life; at the same time, flying chips may also adhere to the machined surface of the valve stem nut, affecting the surface quality and roughness of the workpiece, and may even lead to a decrease in the dimensional accuracy of the workpiece, failing to meet the machining requirements.
[0004] To address the issue of flying chips generated during the cutting process, existing technologies typically employ air guns to blow away and clean the chips. This method effectively removes flying chips from the workpiece surface and equipment area, maintaining a clean processing environment. However, when using air guns for cleaning, the air guns usually require connection to an external power source via ductwork. These ductworks are often haphazardly arranged within the factory environment, easily causing wiring chaos. This not only affects the cleanliness and management of the workshop but, more importantly, the scattered ductwork can easily trip nearby operators, leading to falls, injuries, and other safety accidents, posing a serious threat to the personal safety of workers.
[0005] Therefore, how to effectively clean up cutting debris while avoiding safety hazards caused by the air gun equipment duct is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by the positioning fixtures and auxiliary cleaning devices used for valve stem nut processing.

[0026] During the precision machining of valve stem nuts, flying debris may adhere to the machined surface of the valve stem nut, affecting the surface quality and roughness of the workpiece, which may lead to a decrease in the dimensional accuracy of the workpiece and failure to meet the machining requirements.
[0027] Therefore, in order to solve the safety hazards and chaotic workshop management caused by the arbitrary layout of air gun equipment ducts in the existing technology.
[0028] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5This application provides a valve stem nut machining and positioning assembly with air blowing capability. The assembly includes a three-jaw chuck 11 for fixing the nut and a drive unit 12 for driving a cutting tool to cut the nut. It also includes: an air gun assembly 2, an air duct collection mechanism 3, and an automatic rewind assembly 31; a rotation limit assembly 32 and a release limit assembly 33; the air gun assembly 2 is located on the side of the three-jaw chuck 11 and includes an air gun 22 and an air duct 24 connected to the air gun 22; the air duct collection mechanism 3 collects the air duct 24... The duct 24 is housed within the duct collection mechanism 3, which includes: an automatic rewind assembly 31, comprising a rotatably mounted wire roller 313 and a spring 314 for driving the wire roller 313 to rewind, with the duct 24 wound around the wire roller 313; a rotation limiting assembly 32, which cooperates with the wire roller 313 to limit the rewinding of the wire roller 313 after the duct 24 is pulled out; and a release limiting assembly 33, which is connected to the rotation limiting assembly 32 to release the restriction of the rotation limiting assembly 32 on the wire roller 313, so that the wire roller 313 can rewind the duct 24 under the drive of the spring 314.
[0029] This application provides a valve stem nut machining and positioning assembly with air blowing. During the process of fixing the nut with a three-jaw chuck 11 and driving a cutter to cut the nut via a drive unit 12, the air gun 22, which is movably fixed on the support frame 21 via an air duct connecting frame 23, is manually removed to clean up the metal shavings generated during cutting. In this way, by combining the air duct 24 of the air gun assembly 2 with the air duct collection mechanism 3 that automatically retracts, limits rotation, and releases limits, the automatic storage and on-demand release of the air duct 24 is achieved, effectively avoiding safety hazards and management problems caused by the scattered air duct 24.
[0030] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the yarn roller 313 is provided with a plurality of wedge blocks 321; the rotation limiting component 32 includes a connecting block 322 and an abutment block 323 disposed on the connecting block 322, the abutment block 323 being used to abut against the wedge blocks 321 to limit the rotation of the yarn roller 313.
[0031] This configuration provides a specific structure for the wedge block 321 and the abutment block 323 to cooperate, effectively locking the rotation of the roller 313 and ensuring that the duct 24 can stably maintain the required length after being pulled out.
[0032] In this embodiment, the abutment block 323 is provided with a beveled surface 326; the release limiting component 33 includes a pressing plate 333, a transmission rod 332 connected to the pressing plate 333, a transmission block 331 connected to the transmission rod 332, and a sliding pressing plate 335 connected to the transmission block 331; the sliding pressing plate 335 is used to push the beveled surface 326 so that the abutment block 323 is separated from the wedge block 321.
[0033] This configuration allows the pressing plate 333 to compress the transmission block 331 inward via the transmission rod 332. The transmission block 331 then drives the sliding pressing plate 335 to compress the abutment block 323 inward via the inclined surface 326 of the abutment block 323. This releases the positional constraint between the abutment block 323 and the wedge-shaped block, allowing the roller 313 to rotate under the action of the spring 314. The linkage structure of the pressing plate 333, transmission rod 332, transmission block 331, and sliding pressing plate 335 pushing the inclined surface 326 of the abutment block 323 provides a labor-saving method for releasing the limiting position, facilitating user operation.
[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting block 322 is provided with an abutment groove 324, and the abutment block 323 is slidably disposed in the abutment groove 324; the rotation limiting component 32 also includes an abutment spring 325 disposed in the abutment groove 324, and the abutment spring 325 is used to drive the abutment block 323 to abut against the wedge block 321.
[0035] With this configuration, during rotation, the wire roller 313 abuts against the abutment block 323 via the wedge-shaped block. During forward rotation, the wedge-shaped block slides and compresses the abutment spring 325 on the abutment block 323, compressing the abutment block 323 into the abutment groove 324, thus preventing restriction on the elongation of the air duct. When pulled to the appropriate position, the wire roller 313 tends to reverse under the action of the spring 314, but the wedge-shaped block abuts against the abutment block 323, restricting the reverse operation of the wire roller 313. The abutment groove 324 and the abutment spring 325 allow the abutment block 323 to slide stably within the groove and be driven by the spring to engage with the wedge block 321, improving the reliability of the limiting mechanism.
[0036] In this embodiment, the release limit assembly 33 further includes a transmission spring 334 sleeved on the transmission rod 332; the transmission spring 334 is used to reset after the pressing plate 333 is pressed.
[0037] This configuration adds a transmission spring 334, ensuring that the release limit component 33 can automatically return to its initial state after the press is released, preparing for the next locking.
[0038] In this embodiment, the automatic rewinding assembly 31 further includes a protective housing 311 and a central shaft 312 disposed within the protective housing 311; the wire roller 313 is rotatably disposed on the central shaft 312; the spring 314 is sleeved on the central shaft 312, one end of the spring 314 is fixed to the central shaft 312, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the wire roller 313; the rotation limiting assembly 32 and the release limiting assembly 33 are both disposed within the protective housing 311.
[0039] This configuration integrates the automatic rewinding, rotation limit, and release limit components 33 into the protective housing 311, resulting in a compact structure that facilitates installation and protects the internal mechanisms. Meanwhile, the central shaft 312 and the mainspring 314 provide stable rewinding power.
[0040] In this embodiment, a limiting ring 5 is provided on the air duct 24; the limiting ring 5 is used to abut against the protective shell 311 when the air duct 24 is rolled up.
[0041] With this design, a limit ring 5 is provided to prevent the air duct 24 from retracting completely into the protective housing 311, making it easier to pull out the air duct 24 for the next use. It also protects the connection between the air gun 22 and the air duct 24.
[0042] In this embodiment, the air gun assembly 2 also includes a support frame 21 and an air duct connecting frame 23; the air gun 22 is connected to the support frame 21 through the air duct connecting frame 23; and the air duct 24 is connected to an external negative pressure machine.
[0043] This configuration adds a support frame 21 and a duct connection frame 23, allowing the air gun 22 to be stably mounted on the positioning clamp assembly, facilitating the adjustment of the angle and position of the air gun 22. At the same time, the duct 24 is connected to an external negative pressure unit to ensure a continuous airflow for cleaning.
[0044] In this embodiment, a mounting frame 1 is also included; the duct collection mechanism 3 is fixed on the mounting frame 1.
[0045] With this setup, mounting bracket 1 is provided, which provides a fixed mounting base for the duct collection mechanism 3, making it easy to integrate the entire assembly onto the positioning fixture for valve stem nut machining.
[0046] The working principle of a valve stem nut processing positioning component with air blowing is as follows: when the nut is fixed by the three-jaw chuck 11 and the cutting tool is driven by the drive component 12 to cut the nut, the air gun 22, which is movably fixed on the support frame 21 through the air duct connecting frame 23, is manually picked up to clean up the iron filings generated by cutting.
[0047] Before the retrieval process, the air duct on the air gun 22 is stored on the linear roller 313. The other end of the air duct is connected to an external negative pressure machine to supply air to the air gun 22. During the retrieval process, the air duct extends and drives the linear roller 313 to rotate. At the same time, the spring 314 inside the linear roller 313 is tightened during the rotation of the linear roller 313. During the rotation of the linear roller 313, it abuts against the abutting block 323 through the wedge block. During the forward rotation, the wedge block slides and compresses the abutting spring 325 on the abutting block 323, compressing the abutting block 323 into the abutting groove 324 to avoid restricting the extension of the air duct. When pulled to the appropriate position, the linear roller 313 has a tendency to reverse under the action of the spring 314, but the wedge block abuts against the abutting block 323, restricting the reverse operation of the linear roller 313. During the process of retracting the air duct after use of the air gun 22, pressing the pressing plate 333 compresses the transmission block 331 inward through the transmission rod 332. The transmission block 331 drives the sliding pressing plate 335 to compress the abutment block 323 inward through the inclined surface 326 of the abutment block 323, thereby releasing the positional restriction between the abutment block 323 and the wedge block. This causes the roller 313 to rotate under the action of the spring 314, retracting the air duct. After retraction, the transmission spring 334 drives the pressing plate 333 and the transmission block 331 to reset, causing the abutment block 323 to rebound under the action of the abutment spring 325. At the same time, the limiting ring 5 on the air duct abuts against the outer wall of the protective shell 311 to avoid damage caused by over-retraction.
[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
