Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a novel tooling plate device. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid industrial development, warehousing and logistics conveyor lines are becoming increasingly widespread across various industries. It is well-known that tooling plates generate significant noise during operation, are difficult to position, and require high precision from the conveyor line. When encountering intersections or turns on the material conveyor line, lifting and shifting mechanisms are needed at these points to facilitate smooth transitions and changes. Furthermore, the inflexible switching between conveyor lines leads to low work efficiency, high debugging difficulty, and high production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel tooling plate device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel tooling plate device includes a tooling base plate, a sensing strip, a tooling mounting plate, springs, plastic guide posts, guide sleeves, and buffer rubber pads. The tooling base plate and the tooling mounting plate are integrated to form a tooling plate, and the size of the tooling mounting plate is larger than that of the tooling base plate. Both the tooling base plate and the tooling mounting plate are recessed rectangular designs. Sensing strips are provided on the side walls of both the tooling base plate and the tooling mounting plate. Four springs are provided at the bottom of the tooling base plate, and plastic guide posts are installed on the top of the springs. The four plastic guide posts are distributed at the four corners of the tooling base plate. Two guide sleeves are provided on the tooling base plate and are symmetrically arranged along the diagonal of the tooling base plate. Buffer rubber pads are provided on the upper and lower sides of the tooling mounting plate.

[0006] Preferably, the tooling base plate and the tooling mounting plate are inlaid with magnets on their sidewalls, and a metal sheet is bonded to the back of the sensing strip. The sensing strip is fixed to the tooling base plate and the tooling mounting plate by magnetic force.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the tooling mounting plate has multiple mounting slots, which are evenly distributed on the tooling mounting plate. The plug-in post is plugged into the mounting slot, and the material of the plug-in post is the same as that of the tooling mounting plate.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the present invention is reasonably designed; the design of the tooling base plate and tooling mounting plate allows for quick replacement of the tooling base plate when needed, thereby adapting to the transportation of different materials; the tooling base plate and tooling mounting plate are easy to install, operate smoothly, and have low noise; the design of the sensing strip enables precise positioning; the design of the magnet and metal sheet enables quick installation and removal of the sensing strip; the insertion post on the tooling mounting plate can increase the height of the tooling mounting plate to adapt to different height requirements; the spring and plastic guide post enable rapid steering operation.

[0013] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0014] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a novel tooling plate device includes a tooling base plate 1, sensing strips 2, a tooling mounting plate 3, springs 4, plastic guide posts 5, guide sleeves 6, and buffer rubber pads 7. The tooling base plate 1 and the tooling mounting plate 3 are integrated to form a tooling plate, and the tooling mounting plate 3 is larger than the tooling base plate 1. Both the tooling base plate 1 and the tooling mounting plate 3 are recessed rectangular designs. Sensing strips 2 are provided on the side walls of both the tooling base plate 1 and the tooling mounting plate 3. Four springs 4 are provided at the bottom of the tooling base plate 1, and plastic guide posts 5 are installed on the top of the springs 4. The four plastic guide posts 5 are located at the four corners of the tooling base plate 1. The tooling base plate 1 has two guide sleeves 6, which are symmetrically arranged along the diagonal of the tooling base plate 1. The upper and lower sides of the tooling mounting plate 3 are provided with buffer rubber pads 7. Magnet pieces 8 are embedded on the side walls of the tooling base plate 1 and the tooling mounting plate 3. Metal iron pieces 9 are bonded to the back of the sensing strip 2. The sensing strip 2 is fixed to the tooling base plate 1 and the tooling mounting plate 3 by magnetic force. The top of the tooling mounting plate 3 has multiple mounting grooves 10, which are evenly distributed on the tooling mounting plate 3. Insertion posts 11 are inserted into the mounting grooves 10. The material of the insertion posts 11 is the same as that of the tooling mounting plate 3.

[0015] Working principle of this invention: The tooling plate is dragged forward by the conveyor belt. When the first tooling plate enters the working station, the tooling plate is precisely positioned on the conveyor line by sensing information through the sensing strips 2 around it and the photoelectric switch on the conveyor line. Then, the positioning pin on the lifting positioning device docks with the guide sleeve 6 to fix the positioning. This can prevent the position of the tooling plate from changing during loading and unloading. The second tooling plate is blocked by the blocking cylinder and stops flowing to the lower station. When the tooling plate is going straight at the turning point, there is no need to change direction. The tooling plate can pass through the line docking point. When a turn is required, the turning side reversing rail descends and the straight side reversing rail rises to compress the plastic guide column 5 and spring 4, and the tooling plate achieves a 90-degree turn. After entering another conveyor line, the compressed plastic guide column 5 and spring 4 are reset, and the tooling plate resumes normal operation.

[0016] The above description represents a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 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 the present invention, based on the teachings of the present invention, still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
