Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of drilling equipment and relates to an automatic drilling machine with a ratchet wrench head. Background Technology

[0002] A ratchet wrench is a manual screw tightening and loosening tool used in both mechanical fields and daily life. Some ratchet wrenches require drilling into their heads, and also need to have a countersunk hole drilled on one side of the head. However, current drilling equipment lacks the capability to perform both drilling and countersunk hole drilling on one side. To achieve this head structure, it's necessary to repeatedly change blades of different diameters on a single drilling machine, and manually load and unload the product midway, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and affects processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this ratchet wrench head automatic punching machine includes a worktable and a feeding device set on one side of the worktable. The worktable is equipped with a material rack that connects with the feeding device. The material rack is equipped with a material dropping station, a punching station, and a countersunk hole punching station. An automatic feed and retraction punching device is set at the punching station on one side of the material rack, and an automatic feed and retraction countersunk hole punching device is set at the countersunk hole punching station on the other side of the material rack. A truss is provided on the worktable, and a clamping device for automatically loading and unloading wrench heads is provided on the truss.

[0017] To elaborate further, the feeding device includes a feeding base, a rotating platform, and several storage racks mounted on the rotating platform. Each storage rack includes a fixed plate, a lifting plate, and storage rods. The lifting plate is mounted on the fixed plate via several guide rods. A limiting rod for the wrench head is located between the lifting plate and the fixed plate. The wrench head has a protruding structure at the location where a hole needs to be drilled. The limiting rods (two in total) limit the two sides of the protruding structure for easy clamping. Multiple wrench heads are fitted onto the storage rods. The base is equipped with a control mechanism to rotate the rotating platform. The first drive device is a rotating material table with a second drive device at the bottom for driving the corresponding lifting plate to rise and fall. Multiple un-drilled wrench heads are fitted onto each material storage bar. If all the wrench heads on one material storage rack are grabbed, the rotating material table rotates and grabs the wrench heads on the next material storage rack. There are several drive devices, each corresponding to a lifting plate or one is set at the loading and unloading position. During operation, as the wrench heads are grabbed one by one from top to bottom, the lifting plate rises to a unit to facilitate the clamping device to grab.

[0018] To elaborate further, the clamping device includes a lifting pallet and a transverse pallet mounted on a truss. The truss drives the transverse pallet to move linearly left and right. The lifting pallet is then lifted and mounted onto the transverse pallet. A drive device three controls the lifting of the lifting pallet. Four synchronously operating jaws are mounted on the lifting pallet, with a drive device four controlling their operation at the rear end. The four jaws are designated as jaw one, jaw two, jaw three, and jaw four. When the drilling machine starts working, jaw one grabs the wrench head from the feeding device and places it on the unloading station. At this time, jaws two, three, and four are empty gripping. The remaining four jaws then... In the next operation, gripper one picks up the wrench head, while gripper two picks up the wrench head at the blanking station. Then, the wrench heads held by grippers one and two fall into the blanking station and the drilling station respectively. Then, the drilling station drills holes. After completion, the above actions are repeated. At this time, gripper three picks up the wrench head at the drilling station and moves it to the countersinking station. The blanking station and the drilling station repeat the above operations. The countersinking station also starts working. Then, gripper four picks up the formed material and unloads it. There is a material unloading structure such as a material unloading rack or unloading tray at the working end of the worktable. The operation is carried out in a continuous cycle.

[0019] To elaborate further, both the drilling station and the countersinking station are equipped with a fixing fixture and a top-supporting fixture. The rear end of the top-supporting fixture is equipped with a drive structure to control its forward and backward movement. Both the fixing fixture and the top-supporting fixture have grooves that fit into both ends of the wrench head. When the material is dropped into these two stations and before drilling, the wrench head is fixed to prevent it from shifting.

[0020] To elaborate further, both the drilling device and the countersinking device include drilling tools with automatic feed and retraction. The worktable is equipped with a mounting bracket for mounting the drilling tools. The rear end of the drilling tools uses a pneumatic or hydraulic drive mechanism to drive the drilling tools to feed and retract.

[0021] To elaborate further, the workbench is also equipped with a cooling device that sprays coolant to cool the workpiece during operation.

[0022] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0023] Although this document uses numerous terms such as workbench, material rack, unloading station, drilling station, countersunk hole drilling station, truss, loading base, rotating platform, fixing plate, lifting plate, storage rod, guide rod, limit rod, wrench head, protruding structure, lifting support plate, transverse support plate, gripper one, gripper two, gripper three, gripper four, drilling tool, mounting bracket, cooling device, fixing fixture, top support fixture, drive structure, and tank, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. The use of these terms is merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
