BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a tray with an adaptive product shape according to the utility model;

[0014] Figure 2 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of

[0015] Figure 3 This is a working schematic diagram of the product shape adaptive tray of the utility model;

[0016] Markings in the figure: 1-base; 2-support head; 3-support foot; 4-locking spring; 5-support spring; 6-release lever. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the product shape adaptive tray for automatic production line of the utility model includes a base 1, a support head 2, a support foot 3, a locking spring 4, a supporting spring 5, and a release rod 6.

[0019] The base 1 is used to accommodate the support head, the support foot and the spring;

[0020] The support head 2 can move in a vertical direction on the base;

[0021] The support leg 3 serves as a locking support head and is welded together with the locking spring 4;

[0022] The locking spring 4 is used to support the support leg 3, provide elasticity for the support leg 3, and lock the support head 2;

[0023] The support spring 5 is used to support the support head 2 to move in the vertical direction;

[0024] The release rod 6 can move along the vertical direction of the base.

[0025] The connection relationship is: the support spring 5 is welded to the bottom end of the base 1; the thin rod end of the support head 2 passes through the through hole at the upper end of the base 1, and the thin rod end of the support head 2 can move along the through hole, the through hole of the base 1 and the upper end of the rack on the support head 2 realize the movement and limitation of the support head, and the support spring 5 is compressed to support the bottom end of the support head; the locking spring 4 is welded to the side of the base 1; the support leg 3 and the locking spring 4 are welded together, and the locking spring 4 supports the support leg 3 and the release rod 6; the release rod 6 and the support leg 3 are welded together; the release rod 6 passes through the through hole at the upper end of the base 1, and the release rod 6 can move along the through hole, and the through hole of the base 1 and the boss on the release rod 6 realize the movement and limitation of the support head.

[0026] In this embodiment, the head of the support head can be designed to be a flat head, a conical head, etc., to meet a larger release area during product positioning.

[0027] In this embodiment, the locking method of the support leg and support head can be realized by ratchet teeth, rack and gear rod, etc. to achieve movement and locking.

[0028] The principle of this embodiment is:

[0029] When parts are pressed on the support heads, the support heads will be compressed to varying degrees to adapt to the shape of the parts. As the support heads and support legs are locked, many support heads will be pressed out with slots that adapt to the product shape, completing the molding and precise positioning of the parts. When parts of different products with different shapes and sizes need to be positioned, it is only necessary to place the parts once, and the pallet will automatically form a positioning that meets the shape of the parts and fix the positioning to meet the assembly needs of this time, greatly improving the production change efficiency. When producing new products, it is only necessary to release the support legs, return the support heads to the initial position, place new parts to reposition and mold, without changing different types of pallets, greatly improving the economy.

[0030] Working process of this embodiment:

[0031] When placing parts on the pallet, the parts press the support head, which moves downward and compresses the support spring. Many support heads are compressed to different degrees to support the parts. During the downward movement of the support head, the support foot is supported by the locking spring and slides across the lock card on the support head. When the support head stops moving, the locking spring supports the support foot, and the support head and the support foot are locked, completing the pallet's molding and precise positioning of the parts (such as Figure 2 The positioned pallet can be used for automated batch production of products. When changing products, the release lever is pressed, and the release lever presses the support foot and compresses the locking spring at the same time. The support head is separated from the support foot, and the support head moves upward under the action of the support spring and returns to the initial state. The new product parts are re-placed for mold assembly and positioning.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make several modifications and improvements without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements should also be considered to belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
