Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning mechanism technology, specifically a simple long material cart positioning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the production line, some parts are particularly long, resulting in particularly long material carts for transporting them. The commonly used handle bearing positioning mechanism is not suitable for long material carts and has the following disadvantages: insufficient guide length; insufficient positioning after introduction; complex positioning structure, which leads to a more complicated matching air circuit and electrical control system, and is prone to intermittent alarms, which affects the efficiency of the production line; and the cost of using the handle bearing positioning mechanism is also relatively high.

[0003] The patent publication number is CN218170105U, which discloses a material cart positioning mechanism, including a receiving frame. A material cart inlet is provided on one side of the receiving frame, and positioning components are provided on both sides of the material cart inlet. The positioning components include a swing arm, a cylinder, a clamping plate, and a guide bearing. The cylinder is horizontally arranged and connected to the receiving frame. The swing arm is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder. The clamping plate is installed on the swing arm. The guide bearing is installed on the clamping plate and is horizontally arranged. Several limiting blocks are provided on the side of the receiving frame away from the material cart inlet. The above patent still has certain shortcomings and cannot be applied to the precise guidance and positioning of long material carts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a simple positioning mechanism for long material carts. This mechanism can meet the positioning and limiting requirements of long material carts, achieve precise guidance of long material carts, and is convenient to use.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A simple long material cart positioning mechanism includes a T-shaped base, which includes an installation area and a guide area. Buffer components are provided on both sides of the installation area. A first support is fixedly installed at the center of the installation area. A cylinder is installed on one side of the first support, and a clamping arm is driven to the output end of the cylinder. A connecting plate is installed on the other side of the first support, and at least two proximity switches are installed on the connecting plate. The cylinder is also connected to a single-unit valve through an air circuit, and the single-unit valve is electrically connected to the proximity switches. Limit components are also installed on the guide area.

[0007] The following are further optimizations of the above technical solution by this utility model:

[0008] The buffer assembly includes two second supports fixedly mounted on the mounting area, each second support having a buffer installed on it.

[0009] Further optimization: A clamping block is installed on the clamping arm.

[0010] Further optimization: The limiting component includes at least four guide plates. The guide plates are fixedly installed on the guiding area in pairs through several L-shaped connectors. Every two parallel guide plates form a guiding channel, and several guiding channels form a limiting channel for limiting the long material cart.

[0011] Further optimization: Each guide plate has a bent portion at both ends, and the bent portions of the guide plates in pairs bend in a direction away from each other.

[0012] Further optimization: The individual valve is fixedly installed on one of the second supports, and a protective shell is provided on the outside of the individual valve. The protective shell is fixedly installed on the corresponding second support.

[0013] This utility model adopts the above-mentioned technical solution, with ingenious design and reasonable structure. The mechanism adopts long guides on both sides and precise guidance of the material cart, which meets the requirements of long material cart use. The mechanism uses only a single cylinder as a power source, which reduces the complexity of the structure, makes the control system more stable, saves a lot of costs, improves the working efficiency of the equipment, and makes installation and maintenance simpler and more convenient.

[0020] like Figure 1-4As shown: A simple long material cart positioning mechanism includes a T-shaped base, which includes an installation area 1 and a guide area 2. Buffer components are provided on both sides of the installation area 1. A first support 3 is fixedly installed at the center of the installation area 1. A cylinder 4 is installed on one side of the first support 3. A clamping arm 10 is driven to the output end of the cylinder 4. A connecting plate 5 is installed on the other side of the first support 3. At least two proximity switches 6 are installed on the connecting plate 5. The cylinder 4 is also connected to a single valve 7 through an air circuit. The single valve 7 and the proximity switches 6 are electrically connected. A limit component is also installed on the guide area 2.

[0021] The buffer assembly includes two second supports 8 fixedly installed on the mounting area 1, and each second support 8 is equipped with a buffer 9.

[0022] In this embodiment, the buffer 9 is used to buffer the long material cart to prevent it from colliding with the mechanism on the installation area 1 and causing damage.

[0023] A clamping block 11 is installed on the clamping arm 10.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cylinder 4 is used to rotate the clamping arm 10, so that the clamping arm 10 can rotate and limit and fix the long material cart through the clamping block 11 to prevent the long material cart from shaking after being positioned.

[0025] The limiting component includes at least four guide plates 12. The guide plates 12 are fixedly installed on the guide area 2 in pairs through several L-shaped connectors 13. Every two parallel guide plates 12 form a guide channel 14. Several guide channels 14 form a limiting channel for limiting the long material cart.

[0026] Each guide plate 12 has a bent portion 120 at both ends, and the bent portions 120 of the guide plates 12 in pairs are bent in a direction away from each other.

[0027] With this design, the opening diameter of every two adjacent bends 120 is larger than the diameter of the guide channel 14, making it easier for long material carts to enter the guide channel 14.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bottom of the long material cart is equipped with several limiting guide wheels 15, which are matched with the guide channel 14. This design makes it easy for the long material cart to move along the predetermined guide channel 14, ensuring that the long material cart is always under precise guidance and is convenient to use.

[0029] The individual valve 7 is fixedly installed on one of the second supports 8, and a protective shell 16 is provided on the outside of the individual valve 7. The protective shell 16 is fixedly installed on the corresponding second support 8.

[0030] When in use, the long material cart enters the device along the guide channel 14. When it approaches the installation area 1, the buffer 9 buffers the long material cart. During the buffering process, the long material cart approaches the proximity switch 6. After receiving the sensing, the proximity switch 6 transmits the electrical signal to the unit valve 7. The unit valve 7 controls the cylinder 4 to work, rotating the clamping arm 10. The clamping block 11 on the clamping arm 10 tightens and fixes the long material cart, making it convenient to use.

[0031] For those skilled in the art, any changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to the implementation methods without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, based on the teachings of this utility model, still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
