Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a fully automatic tapping machine for processing gas valves, belonging to the technical field of gas valve processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A gas valve is a new type of safety accessory for gas pipeline projects. It is used to cut off, connect, and regulate gas in pipelines, possessing excellent control characteristics and sealing performance. It is suitable for pipelines carrying various gas media such as city gas, liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas, and oxygen.
[0003] The gas valve contains a component called a valve core rod. Please refer to the attached document. Figure 4 The valve core rod has a cylindrical structure with a round cap at the top that is larger than the body. It needs to be tapped before use. The tapping is done by workers using a drilling machine to tap the threads one by one. This method has technical problems such as low safety, low production efficiency, and high workload for workers.
[0004] A search revealed that application number 2021208265970 discloses an automatic tapping machine for gas valve columns. This tapping machine uses a rotary feeder for feeding, but this structure has the disadvantage of being bulky, increasing the size of the equipment.
[0005] To improve efficiency, our company offers a fully automatic tapping machine. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic tapping machine for processing gas valves, thereby addressing the aforementioned shortcomings.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a fully automatic tapping machine for processing gas valves, including a base, a hopper assembly provided on one side of the top of the base, an automatic tapping machine provided on the other side of the top of the base, a first end of a feeding assembly leading out from the outlet of the hopper assembly, a second end of the feeding assembly extending to the automatic tapping machine, and a receiving frame provided on one side of the base located on the automatic tapping machine;
[0008] The hopper assembly includes a hopper support, which is mounted on the top of the base. The hopper body is mounted on the top of the hopper support. The bottom of the hopper body has a notch, and a first discharge chute is provided below the notch. A vibrating element is provided at the bottom of the first discharge chute.
[0009] The feeding assembly includes a vibrating feeding plate, a first discharge chute extending to the top of the vibrating feeding plate, a first end of a channel connected to the outlet of the vibrating feeding plate, a second end of the channel connected to the inlet of a clamping unit, and the outlet of the clamping unit having a second discharge chute located at the top of the receiving frame.
[0010] The clamping unit includes a frame, a clamping block on the top of the frame, a feeding channel connected to the inlet of the feeding channel, a discharge notch connected to the feeding channel, a side push block within the discharge notch, a rear connection of the side push block to the piston rod of a side push cylinder, and a cylinder body connected to the frame.
[0011] A material-pulling cylinder is installed on the side of the clamp block, and the piston rod of the material-pulling cylinder moves back and forth along the feed channel to push the valve core rod directly below the automatic tapping machine;
[0012] The clamp block is also equipped with a discharge cylinder, the piston rod of the discharge cylinder is opposite to the piston rod of the pulling cylinder, and the piston rod of the discharge cylinder is used to push the valve core rod after tapping into the discharge notch range;
[0013] During tapping, the side push block is pushed forward to clamp the valve core rod;
[0014] After tapping is completed, the piston rod of the discharge cylinder moves forward and the side push block moves backward. The valve core rod loses support and falls from the discharge notch onto the second discharge groove, and then rolls from the second discharge groove into the receiving frame.
[0015] Furthermore, the top of the base is also provided with an outer casing that protects the hopper assembly and the vibrating feeder.
[0016] Furthermore, the top of the outer box is provided with a flap, which is located on the top of the hopper body. The flap is connected to the outer box by a hinge, and the top of the flap is provided with a handle.
[0017] Beneficial effects
[0018] When using this utility model solution, the blank is first placed in the hopper body. The outlet of the hopper body is located at the top of the vibrating feeding plate. The vibrating feeding plate arranges several gas valve core rods through vibration, so that each gas valve core rod stands upright in the slide. It is then sent forward to the clamping unit through the channel. The clamping unit clamps the valve core rods in sequence and performs automatic tapping. After tapping is completed, the rods fall into the receiving frame. The structure is also compact. Attached Figure Description
