Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tapping machine accessories, specifically a clamping mechanism for a tapping machine used for bolt processing. Background Technology
[0002] A tapping machine is an automated or semi-automated mechanical device specifically designed for machining internal threads (i.e., "tapping") on workpieces made of materials such as metal and plastic. It is widely used in the automotive, hardware, electronics, and machinery manufacturing industries, and is especially suitable for the mass production of threaded workpieces such as bolts, nuts, and flanges. Its core function is to cut or extrude internal threads that meet specifications in the pre-drilled hole of the workpiece through the relative rotation and feed motion of the "taper" (thread machining tool) and the workpiece, ensuring thread accuracy, perpendicularity, and surface quality.
[0003] Patent document CN221389812U discloses a clamping mechanism for a tapping machine used for bolt processing, specifically relating to the field of bolt processing technology. The mechanism includes a bolt rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to a bolt head. A bolt processing clamping block is clamped and fixed to the outer wall of the bolt head. A tapping machine clamping telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the outer end of the bolt processing clamping block, and a tapping machine connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bolt processing clamping block. A bolt processing clamping pad is adhered to the inner wall of the bolt processing clamping block, and a drive rod is fixedly connected to one end of the bolt processing clamping block. Through the mutual cooperation of the bolt processing clamping block, the tapping machine clamping telescopic rod, the second limiting groove, and the limiting block, the bolt processing clamping pad can be quickly disassembled after prolonged use, thereby reducing wear and ensuring the effectiveness of clamping the bolt processing clamping block, thus improving the efficiency of the clamping mechanism.
[0004] However, in practical applications, the aforementioned patent only clamps the bolt head with a clamping block, while the bolt shank lacks effective clamping. When tapping the bolt shank, the bolt shank is prone to vibration and displacement, resulting in poor tapping accuracy. For example, after the bolt head is clamped and fixed, if the bolt shank is long, when the tapping machine taps the end of the bolt shank, the tap will generate axial cutting force and radial torque on the bolt, causing the bolt to shift and resulting in tapping accuracy deviation. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a clamping mechanism for a tapping machine for bolt processing, so as to solve the technical problem that the bolt rod is prone to vibration and displacement, resulting in poor tapping accuracy.
[0006] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a clamping mechanism for a tapping machine for bolt processing is designed, including a vertical plate, a first support plate is fixedly connected to the lower side of the front side wall of the vertical plate, a second support plate is fixedly connected to the lower side of the rear side wall of the vertical plate, mounting holes are opened on the top of the first support plate and the second support plate, a clamping mechanism is provided on the front side wall of the vertical plate, and a limit mechanism is provided on the top of the second support plate; A replacement mechanism is provided on the upper side of the front wall of the upright plate.
[0007] In this solution, the bolt head and bolt shank are clamped by a clamping mechanism and a limiting mechanism respectively, making the clamping more stable.
[0008] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a crossbar, a fixing groove, a connecting shaft, an electric push rod, a locking screw, a clamping plate, a connecting seat, a crank rod, and a fixing shaft. The crossbar is located in the middle of the front side wall of the upright plate. The fixing groove is opened at both ends of the crossbar. The connecting shaft is fixedly connected between the front and rear sides of the inner side wall of the fixing groove. The electric push rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the top rear side of the first support plate, and the output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the crossbar. The locking screw is screwed onto the left and right sides of the front side wall of the crossbar.
[0009] In practical applications, the crossbar is driven to move upward by an electric push rod, causing the curved rod to rotate inward, which in turn drives the clamping plate to clamp the bolt head inward, and the position of the crossbar is locked by a locking screw.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the crank is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft, the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the upper left and right sides of the front side wall of the upright plate, the middle part of the crank is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed shaft, the connecting seat is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the clamping plate, and the top end of the crank is fixedly connected to the connecting end of the connecting seat.
[0011] In practical applications, when the crossbar moves upward, the crank rotates on the connecting shaft and rotates inward under the limitation of the fixed groove. The crank is rotated and connected to the connecting seat, so that the entire crank rotates inward synchronously.
[0012] Preferably, the crossbar has grooves on both sides of its rear sidewall, and the front sidewall of the upright plate is fixedly connected to slide rails on both sides, with the end of the locking screw extending into the inner cavity of the groove.
[0013] In practical applications, by setting up slides and rails, the crossbar becomes more stable during movement.
[0014] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a support base, a pressure cap, a threaded groove, and a second fixing screw. The support base is fixedly connected to the top middle of the second support plate, the pressure cap is hinged to the top of the support base, the threaded groove is opened at the top of the support base and the bottom of the pressure cap, and the second fixing screw is screwed to the top right side of the pressure cap.
[0015] In practical applications, the pressure cap presses the bolt rod into the support base, and the threaded groove inside the pressure cap engages with the thread on the bolt rod to increase friction. The pressure cap and the support base are then fixed together by a second fixing screw.
[0016] Preferably, the replacement mechanism includes a screw hole, a clamping washer, a connecting block, a connecting ring, and a first fixing screw. The screw hole is opened on the front side wall of the clamping plate, the clamping washer is located on the inner side wall of the clamping plate, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the front side wall of the clamping washer.
[0017] In practical applications, different shaped clamps are used to align the connecting blocks and connecting rings with the screw holes.
[0018] Preferably, the connecting ring is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting block, and the connecting ring is located outside the screw hole. The first fixing screw movably passes through the inner cavity of the connecting ring and is screwed into the inner cavity of the screw hole.
[0019] In practical applications, the clamping pad is connected and fixed to the clamping plate by the first fixing screw, which allows for quick replacement of the clamping pad.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model combines a clamping mechanism and a limiting mechanism. A support base with a flip-over pressure cap is provided on the support base. The pressure cap and support base have semi-circular threaded grooves inside. The pressure cap is fixed to the support base with a second fixing screw, effectively limiting and fixing the bearing column. The threaded head is placed between the clamping plates. An electric push rod drives the crossbar to move upwards, and the bottom end of the crank rod rotates inwards synchronously. The top end of the crank rod clamps the threaded head inwards and is fixed with a locking screw. In summary, this design can stably clamp the head and shank of the bolt, effectively preventing bolt displacement during tapping and ensuring tapping accuracy.
[0021] 2. This utility model features a replacement mechanism structure. By setting screw holes in the clamping plate, and connecting blocks and connecting rings on the clamping pads to connect with the screw holes and fix them with the first fixing screw, different clamping pads can be quickly replaced according to different bolt head shapes, such as cylindrical head, hexagonal head, or countersunk head. The modular design results in high processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description
