[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example:

[0034] This embodiment describes the structure of a multi-directional synchronous tapping device.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of a multi-directional synchronous tapping device according to the present invention. The multi-directional synchronous tapping device includes: a frame 4, and a worktable 5 disposed on the upper part of the frame 4;

[0036] A number of tapping head devices 1 are set on the workbench for tapping the product;

[0037] The guide rail transfer mechanism is set on the workbench, and the tapping head device is set on at least one side of the guide rail transfer mechanism;

[0038] And a tapping fixture 2 for fixing the product to be processed, located on the guide rail transfer mechanism and capable of linearly sliding along the guide rail transfer mechanism under the drive of a motor; the tapping fixture is provided with the aforementioned tapping head device on at least one side. In this embodiment, the tapping head device is arranged in three positions.

[0039] In the preferred solution, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the tapping head device in a multi-directional synchronous tapping machine. The tapping head device includes several tapping drive motors (not shown) and several tapping heads 1-1. The tapping drive motors and the tapping heads 1-1 are connected by a transmission shaft 1-2. When the tapping drive motors rotate, the tapping heads 1-1 also rotate. A multi-spindle assembly 1-3 is connected to one end of the transmission shaft 1-2, and the tapping heads 1-1 are connected to the multi-spindle assembly 1-3.

[0040] In the preferred embodiment, a tapping head fixing plate 1-4 is provided on the end face of the multi-spindle 1-3, and the tapping head 1-1 is provided on the tapping head fixing plate 1-4.

[0041] The tapping head fixing plate 1-4 and the tapping head 1-1 are detachably connected. Both the tapping head fixing plate and the tapping head can be replaced to accommodate different product tapping requirements. The position of the tapping head can also be adjusted to accommodate the machining of holes on different product surfaces.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the product to be processed is tapped on both sides, that is, the tapping head device includes at least two, located on both sides of the tapping fixture.

[0043] To facilitate double-sided tapping of the product to be processed and to ensure the stability and accuracy of the tapping, we have designed the tapping fixture in a modular fashion. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the guide rail transfer mechanism in a multi-directional synchronous tapping device. The tapping fixture 2 includes at least two clamping parts mounted on a fixture base 2-1. Each clamping part includes a support column 2-2 mounted on the fixture base 2-1, a support plate 2-3 mounted on the support column 2-2, and at least two limiting blocks 2-6 mounted on the support plate 2-3 to limit the position of the product 6. A positioning column 2-4 is mounted in front of the support column 2-3, and positioning blocks 2-5 are mounted on both sides of the positioning column 2-4. The positioning blocks are used to fix the left and right positions of the product; the limiting blocks are used to fix the front and rear positions of the product; the positioning column serves to limit the position of the positioning blocks, and the support crossbar on the positioning column can also support one side of the product, further limiting the front and rear positions of the product. To further improve the stability and accuracy of the product during the tapping process, a support block for supporting the product is also provided on one side of the positioning block.

[0044] Fixing the product to be processed: First, place the product to be processed on the support plate as shown in the figure. The left and right sides of the product to be processed are restricted by the positioning blocks. Align the limiting blocks with the limiting bolt holes on the support plate, and tighten the limiting blocks on the support plate with bolts, thus limiting the product to be processed between the two limiting blocks; the lower part of the product to be processed rests against the support block. Through the above-mentioned limiting fixation, the positioning gap of the product in the tapping fixture is ≤0.05mm, the positioning is stable, and the consistency of product processing can be guaranteed during tapping.

[0045] To improve tapping production efficiency, multiple clamping module structures as described above can be installed on the fixture base.

[0046] Furthermore, the tapping fixture described in this embodiment is only a preferred embodiment for demonstration. When using this tapping equipment, tapping of various multi-faceted products can be achieved by changing the tapping fixture. The tapping fixture in this invention is replaceable, which improves the versatility of the tapping equipment.

[0047] This invention enables tapping of multiple surfaces of a product on a single tapping machine using this tapping fixture, reducing the number of clamping operations and thus reducing the workload of operators.

[0048] To improve tapping efficiency and reduce production costs, this invention can not only tap different surfaces of a product, but also tap different locations on the product surface. Combining the aforementioned preferred embodiments, this invention can set up multiple tapping head devices to form different processing stations according to the product's tapping requirements. For example... Figure 1 Three tapping head devices are positioned at different locations on the worktable, forming two processing stations. The product is placed into the tapping station from the outside under the action of the tapping fixture. As the tapping head devices on both sides of the fixture operate, the product is tapped. The product is then pushed to the next station. Because the position and style of the tapping heads on the tapping head devices are interchangeable, the product can be tapped to the next step. To improve the automation of the tapping process, save manpower, and increase tapping efficiency, this invention incorporates a guide rail transfer mechanism that works in conjunction with the tapping fixture to perform the tapping operation.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the guide rail transfer mechanism 3 includes a guide rail base 3-1 and a transfer slide 3-2. A linear guide rail 3-3 is provided on the guide rail base 3-1. The transfer slide 3-2 is connected to a ball screw 3-4 below and slides along the linear guide rail 3-3. The ball screw 3-4 is connected to a motor, which drives the ball screw 3-4 to rotate. The ball screw drives the transfer slide 3-2 to move linearly along the linear guide rail 3-3. The tapping fixture 2 is mounted on the transfer slide 3-1 by fixing pins and bolts. The transfer slide 3-2 drives the tapping fixture 2 to move.

[0050] According to the tapping requirements of the product, this utility model can set multiple tapping head devices to form different processing stations, which is intended to... Figure 1 This system forms two workstations. The operator fixes the product to be processed onto the tapping fixture, which is then fixed onto the transfer slide. The tapping fixture can move back and forth between the two workstations to perform tapping. For example, after completing double-sided tapping at the first workstation, it moves to the second workstation to perform single-sided tapping, as well as tapping at different locations on the product surface. After completion, the tapping fixture returns to the first workstation with the product, waiting for the operator to remove it.

[0051] The tapping equipment also includes sensors to detect the tapping status of the product to be processed, and can alert and stop the machine when abnormalities occur.

[0052] In this utility model, the workbench is formed by a frame below the workbench, which houses the electrical control components that control the operation of the tapping equipment. The workbench is also equipped with an upper frame for protecting the various mechanisms on the workbench and a protective cabinet formed by the upper frame.

[0053] Through the use of this tapping equipment, production feedback revealed that simultaneously tapping multiple product surfaces on the same machine simplifies the production process. The number of operators has been reduced from four to two, significantly lowering labor costs and production efficiency, while also ensuring consistent product quality. The coordinated use of the guide rail transfer mechanism, tapping fixture, and tapping head device further reduces manual operation and increases the yield rate by 5%.

[0054] To facilitate understanding, the operation of this tapping equipment is briefly explained with reference to the attached diagram:

[0055] 1. The operator places the product to be processed into the tapping fixture;

[0056] 2. Start the equipment, which is mainly controlled by a PLC program;

[0057] It should be noted that the control of this tapping equipment is a technology well known to those skilled in the art, and this utility model has not made any improvements to it. This utility model does not protect it, and therefore the equipment program control is not described. However, this does not affect those skilled in the art's use of the equipment and understanding of the solution of this utility model.

[0058] 3. The tapping head starts working and taps the holes on two sides of the product to be processed;

[0059] 4. After tapping is completed at the first station, the tapping fixture is moved to the second station via the transfer slide;

[0060] 5. The tapping head at the second station begins to work and continues tapping the product to be processed;

[0061] 6. After the tapping at the second station is completed, the tapping fixture returns to the first station under the action of the guide rail transfer mechanism;

[0062] 7. The operator removes the product and inspects the packaging.

[0063] This invention, through multi-station collaborative design, high-precision fixture positioning, and automated transfer mechanism, enables a single machine to simultaneously tap multiple sides of a product, significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency. This solution possesses strong practicality and market potential. The tapping equipment is not limited to the two stations described in the preferred embodiment; the number of stations can be increased (e.g., a third or fourth station) according to actual production needs, with corresponding additions of tapping head devices to accommodate more complex products.

[0064] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
