Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding technology for tapping machines, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for tapping machines. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of tapping machining, the feeding mechanism is the core component that connects the workpiece loading and tapping process, and its operational stability and efficiency directly affect the overall processing capacity.

[0003] Existing traditional feeding mechanisms mostly use metal conveying components and lack elastic buffer structures on the drive shaft. When workpieces shift, stack, or come into contact with the inner wall of the channel or conveying components within the conveying channel, they are prone to jamming due to rigid collisions, requiring manual shutdown for cleaning. This not only interrupts the processing flow but also increases operating costs. Furthermore, due to the differences in the shape of nuts of different specifications and the lack of adaptive posture adjustment components in traditional feeding mechanisms, the orientation of the workpiece must be manually calibrated before entering the feed inlet. If the workpiece's posture does not match the shape of the feed inlet, jamming or inaccurate feeding can easily occur, leading to a significant decrease in the feeding rate. To overcome these disadvantages, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a tapping machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a feeding mechanism for a tapping machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tapping machine feeding mechanism, comprising a conveying chamber, an inclined block fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying chamber, a plurality of first transmission shafts rotatably connected to the inclined block, a plurality of rubber rods fixedly connected to the first transmission shafts, a first power component disposed at one end of the first transmission shafts penetrating the conveying chamber, a plurality of second transmission shafts rotatably connected to the bottom of the conveying chamber, an adjusting component disposed on the second transmission shafts, a second power component disposed at the output end of the second transmission shafts penetrating the conveying chamber, and a conveying component disposed at the bottom of the conveying chamber and on one side of the second transmission shafts.

[0006] Furthermore, the first power assembly includes a first sprocket fixedly connected to one end of the first drive shaft through the conveying chamber. The first sprocket is driven by a first chain. A first support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying chamber and above the first sprocket. A first rotating motor is fixedly connected to the top of the first support frame. The output end of the first rotating motor is fixedly connected to one side of the first sprocket through the first support frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a hexagonal block fixedly connected to the second transmission shaft, a plurality of limiting telescopic rods fixedly connected to the side of the hexagonal block, a stop block fixedly connected to the output end of the limiting telescopic rod, and a spring fixedly connected to the side of the hexagonal block and around the limiting telescopic rod, with one end of the spring fixedly connected to one side of the stop block.

[0008] Furthermore, the second power assembly includes a second sprocket fixedly connected to the second drive shaft through the conveying chamber at one end. The second sprocket and the second sprocket are driven by a second chain. A second support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying chamber and above the second sprocket. A second rotating motor is fixedly connected to the top of the second support frame. The output end of the second rotating motor is fixedly connected to one side of the second sprocket through the second support frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes a material inlet located at the bottom of the conveying chamber and on one side of the second drive shaft. The material inlet is hexagonal in shape, and a conveying pipe is fixedly connected to the material inlet. The inside of the conveying pipe is hexagonal, and an infusion pipe is fixedly connected to the conveying pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, a PLC controller is fixedly connected to one side of the conveying chamber, and several control buttons are fixedly connected to one side of the PLC controller. The control buttons and the PLC controller are electrically connected.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] When using this utility model,

[0013] 1. A rubber rod fixed to the first drive shaft on the inclined block inside the conveying chamber can buffer the contact stress when the workpiece comes into contact with the rubber rod and other parts of the conveying chamber during the conveying process, preventing the workpiece from jamming with the mechanism and ensuring continuous feeding. Furthermore, an adjustment component consisting of a hexagonal block, a limit telescopic rod, a spring, and a stop block is provided on the second drive shaft. When the second power component drives the second drive shaft to rotate, the adjustment component can drive the workpiece to rotate synchronously, so that the posture of the workpiece is adapted to the hexagonal structure of the feed port. The workpiece can smoothly enter the feed port without manual adjustment of its orientation, greatly reducing the orientation calibration time.

[0014] 2. In the conveying assembly, the conveying pipe connected to the material inlet is fixed with a liquid delivery pipe. After the workpiece enters the hexagonal conveying pipe through the material inlet, the liquid delivery pipe can deliver coolant into the conveying pipe. As the workpiece moves along the conveying pipe, the coolant can be evenly attached to the surface of the workpiece, which not only lubricates the workpiece and reduces the friction between the workpiece and the inner wall of the conveying pipe, thus avoiding scratches on the surface of the workpiece or wear on the conveying pipe, but also prepares for cooling and lubrication in advance for the subsequent tapping process.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a feeding mechanism for a tapping machine is disclosed, comprising a conveying chamber 1, an inclined block 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying chamber 1, a plurality of first drive shafts 5 rotatably connected to the inclined block 4, a plurality of rubber rods 6 fixedly connected to the first drive shafts 5, a first power component being provided through the conveying chamber 1 at one end of the first drive shafts 5, a plurality of second drive shafts 11 rotatably connected to the bottom of the conveying chamber 1, an adjusting component being provided on the second drive shafts 11, a second power component being provided through the output end of the second drive shafts 11, and a conveying component being provided at the bottom of the conveying chamber 1 and on one side of the second drive shafts 11.

[0023] As shown in the figure, the first power assembly includes a first sprocket 7 that is fixedly connected to one end of the first drive shaft 5 through the conveying chamber 1. The first sprocket 7 is driven by a first chain 8. A first support frame 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying chamber 1 and above the first sprocket 7. A first rotating motor 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the first support frame 9. The output end of the first rotating motor 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the first support frame 9 and the first sprocket 7, and is used to provide power for the rotation of the rubber rod 6 on the first drive shaft 5.

[0024] As shown in the figure, the adjustment assembly includes a hexagonal block 14 fixedly connected to the second transmission shaft 11. Several limiting telescopic rods 15 are fixedly connected to the side of the hexagonal block 14. A stop block 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the limiting telescopic rod 15. A spring 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the hexagonal block 14 and around the limiting telescopic rods 15. One end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the stop block 17, which is used to make the stop block 17 fit against the workpiece to drive it to rotate and adjust its posture, so as to transport the nut into the conveying pipe 21.

[0025] As shown in the figure, the second power assembly includes a second sprocket 12 fixedly connected to the second drive shaft 11 through the conveying chamber 1. The second sprocket 12 is driven by the second chain 13. A second support frame 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying chamber 1 and above the second sprocket 12. A second rotating motor 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the second support frame 18. The output end of the second rotating motor 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the second support frame 18 and the second sprocket 12, and is used to provide power for the rotation of the adjustment assembly.

[0026] As shown in the figure, the conveying assembly includes a material inlet 20 located at the bottom of the conveying chamber 1 and on one side of the second drive shaft 11. The material inlet 20 is hexagonal in shape, and a conveying pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the material inlet 20. The inside of the conveying pipe 21 is hexagonal, and an infusion pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the conveying pipe 21 for conveying the nut to the tapping machine.

[0027] As shown in the figure, a PLC controller 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveying chamber 1, and several control buttons 3 are fixedly connected to one side of the PLC controller 2. The control buttons 3 and the PLC controller 2 are electrically connected and used to control the equipment on the device.

[0028] Working Principle: During use, first check if the entire device is intact. After inspection, press control button 3 to control the equipment via PLC controller 2. Control the first rotating motor 10 to drive the first sprocket 7 to rotate. The first sprocket 7 is driven by the first chain 8, which in turn drives the rubber rod 6 on the first drive shaft 5 to rotate. Then control the second rotating motor 19 to drive the second sprocket 12 to rotate. The second sprocket 12 is driven by the second chain 13, which in turn drives the adjusting component on the second drive shaft 11 to rotate. The operator then places the nut to be processed onto the inclined block 4 at the bottom of the conveying chamber 1. The nut slides along the inclined block 4 towards the second drive shaft 11. Simultaneously, the rubber rod 6 on the first drive shaft 5 rotates with the shaft. The friction between the rubber rod 6 and the workpiece propels the workpiece forward. When the workpiece comes into contact with the rubber rod 6 and the inner wall of the conveying chamber 1 during transport, the rubber rod 6... By using its own elastic deformation to buffer contact stress, the workpiece is prevented from jamming with the mechanism, ensuring the continuity of the conveying process. The workpiece is then conveyed to the area of ​​the second drive shaft 11. The hexagonal block 14 rotates synchronously with the second drive shaft 11. The limiting telescopic rod 15 on its side restricts the movement direction of the stop block 17, while the spring 16 pushes the stop block 17 to fit tightly against the outer wall of the workpiece, causing the workpiece to rotate with the second drive shaft 11. During the rotation, the workpiece gradually adjusts its posture until its shape is completely matched with the hexagonal feed port 20 at the bottom of the conveying chamber 1. Then it enters the feed port 20. The workpiece entering the feed port 20 falls into the hexagonal conveying pipe 21 fixed thereto. At this time, the liquid delivery pipe 22 on the conveying pipe 21 delivers coolant into the pipe. The coolant moves along the conveying pipe 21 with the workpiece and is evenly attached to the surface of the workpiece and the inner wall of the conveying pipe 21. This process not only reduces the friction loss between the workpiece and the pipe wall and avoids scratching the workpiece, but also cools and lubricates the workpiece in advance, preparing it for the subsequent tapping process.
