Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of automation equipment, and in particular relates to a high-safety transfer and transposition mechanism and method. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of society and the development of economy, the principle of "safety in production, people-oriented" is increasingly being emphasized from the state to enterprises. Under this concept of safe production, it is particularly important to eliminate harmful factors such as personal injury that may occur during the production process.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an existing commonly used transfer and transposition mechanism. The transfer and transposition mechanism is a commonly used human-machine interaction mechanism. Its function is to transport the fixture 10 from the automatic operation station of the machine to the manual processing station. However, in the meantime, the left cylinder 11 and the right cylinder 12 respectively pull out the left pull pin 13 and the right pull pin 14 to the disengaged position; and the transportation is guided by the linear guide 15 and the lower cylinder 16 provides power to complete.

[0004] While this human-machine interaction mechanism is relatively simple, in a society focused on "safety and people-oriented production," the jigs being transported are equipped with cylinders on both sides. If these cylinders malfunction while a worker is operating this workstation, it could cause unnecessary injury and pose a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-safety transfer and transposition mechanism to solve the problem that certain safety hazards exist in the transfer and transposition mechanism in the prior art.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a highly secure transfer and transposition method to solve the problem that certain safety hazards exist in the transfer and transposition mechanism in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] Bottom plate, including the automatic operation side and the manual operation side of the machine,

[0010] A transfer plate is provided with a fixture, and positioning modules are provided on the outer sides of both ends of the transfer plate. The positioning modules include a positioning component and a trigger component without a power unit for driving the positioning component to position or release the positioning.

[0011] A positioning drive assembly is provided on the bottom plate and located on the automatic operation side of the machine, and is configured to drive the trigger assembly to move.

[0012] The transfer drive assembly is provided on the bottom plate and is configured to drive the transfer plate from the automatic operation side of the machine to the manual operation side or from the manual operation side to the automatic operation side of the machine.

[0013] During operation, the transfer plate is transported to the automatic operation side of the machine, the positioning drive component drives the trigger component to operate, and the trigger component drives the positioning component to position or release the positioning of the fixture on the transfer plate. Finally, the transfer drive component drives the transfer plate to the manual operation side.

[0014] As a further improvement of this solution, the positioning component adopts a positioning pin, and the trigger assembly includes a transverse linear guide rail, a transverse slider and a guide groove plate. The transverse linear guide rail is fixed to the end of the transfer plate in the transverse direction, and the transverse slider can be assembled on the transverse linear guide rail for transverse movement. The positioning pin is arranged on the inner side of the transverse slider, and guide pins are provided at both ends of the transverse slider in the longitudinal direction. The guide groove plate can be assembled on the transfer plate for longitudinal movement, and guide grooves with transverse displacement are provided at both ends of the guide groove plate in the longitudinal direction, and the guide pins extend into the guide grooves.

[0015] As a further improvement of this solution, a roller is installed at the bottom of the guide pin, and the roller is arranged in the guide groove.

[0016] As a further improvement of this solution, a straight groove arranged along the longitudinal direction is provided on the transfer plate, and the guide groove plate is arranged in the straight groove and is located below the transverse linear guide rail.

[0017] As a further improvement of this solution, the positioning drive assembly is provided with two sets, which are correspondingly arranged at the two ends of the machine automatic operation side of the base plate, and include a longitudinal drive cylinder, a connecting plate, a first material stop cylinder and a second material stop cylinder. The connecting plate is fixed to the driving end of the longitudinal drive cylinder, and the longitudinal drive cylinder drives the connecting plate to move back and forth along the longitudinal direction of the base plate. The first material stop cylinder and the second material stop cylinder are fixed on the connecting plate at intervals and the driving ends of both are arranged toward the inner side of the base plate.

[0018] As a further improvement of this solution, the transfer drive assembly includes a transfer cylinder and a transfer linear guide rail installed longitudinally on the base plate. The drive end of the transfer cylinder is connected to the transfer plate, and the transfer plate is assembled on the transfer linear guide rail through a longitudinal slider.

[0019] As a further improvement of this solution, a connecting seat is fixed on the transverse sliding block, a T-slot is provided on the connecting seat, and the tail end of the positioning pin is connected to the T-slot through a T-connector.

[0020] As a further improvement of this solution, the guide pins are arranged at both ends of the connecting plate.

[0021] A high-safety load transfer method comprises the following steps:

[0022] The transfer plate is transported to the automatic operation side of the machine,

[0023] The positioning drive component drives the trigger component of the unpowered unit to move.

[0024] The trigger component drives the positioning component to position or release the fixture on the transfer plate.

[0025] The transfer drive assembly drives the transfer plate to the manual operation side.

[0026] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that, compared with the existing technology, the high-safety transfer and positioning mechanism and method can ensure that no power unit is installed on the fixture at the manual operation station, while achieving the basic functions of transfer and positioning. Not only is the design ingenious and the operation stable and reliable, but it also has excellent safety performance and wide versatility. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] See also Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a high-safety transfer and repositioning mechanism includes a base plate 20 and a transfer plate 21. The base plate 20 serves as the installation base of the entire mechanism. It includes a machine automatic operation side 200 and a manual operation side 201 in the longitudinal direction. A transfer cylinder 22 and a transfer linear guide 23 are arranged between the transfer plate 21 and the base plate 20. The transfer cylinder 22 drives the transfer plate 21 from the machine automatic operation side 200 to the manual operation side 201 or from the manual operation side 201 to the machine automatic operation side 200. The transfer linear guide 23 is used to support and guide the transfer plate 21.

[0036] The transfer plate 21 is provided with a jig 24 arranged transversely, and a set of positioning modules 25 are provided on the outer sides of the two ends of the jig 24 on the transfer plate 21. The positioning module 25 includes a positioning pin 250, a transverse linear guide rail 251, a transverse sliding block 252, a guide plate 253 and a connecting seat 254. A straight groove 210 is provided in the longitudinal direction of the transfer plate 21. The guide plate 253 can be movably provided in the longitudinal direction in the straight groove 210. A guide groove 255 with a transverse displacement is provided at both ends of the guide plate 253. The transverse linear guide rail 251 is arranged horizontally above the guide groove plate 253, and the transverse sliding slider 252 is assembled on the transverse linear guide rail 251. A connecting seat 254 is fixed above the transverse sliding slider 252. Both ends of the connecting seat 254 are provided with guide pins 256 extending downward and extending into the guide groove 255. The bottom end of the guide pin 256 is installed with a roller 257 located in the guide groove 255, and a T-slot 258 is provided on the connecting seat 254. The tail end of the locating pin 250 is connected to the T-slot 258 through the T-connector 26.

[0037] A set of positioning drive components 27 are provided on the base plate 20 at both ends of the automatic operation side 200 of the machine. The two sets of positioning drive components 27 have the same structure and are arranged correspondingly. The positioning drive components 27 include a longitudinal drive cylinder 270, a connecting plate 271, a first material-blocking cylinder 272 and a second material-blocking cylinder 273. The connecting plate 271 is fixed to the driving end of the longitudinal drive cylinder 270. The longitudinal drive cylinder 270 drives the connecting plate 271 to reciprocate along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 20. The first material-blocking cylinder 272 and the second material-blocking cylinder 273 are fixed on the connecting plate 271 at intervals and the driving ends of both are arranged toward the inner side of the base plate 20.

[0038] During shifting and changing positions, when the shifting plate 21 is located on the automatic operation side 200 of the machine, the two first blocking cylinders 272 at both ends of the automatic operation side 200 of the machine extend, and the two second blocking cylinders 273 retract, and the longitudinal driving cylinder 270 drives the connecting plate 271 to move toward the manual operation side 201, and the two first blocking cylinders 272 push the guide groove plate 253 to move toward the manual operation side 201, and through the linkage action of the guide groove 255 and the guide pin 256, it finally drives the positioning pins 250 at both ends to move inward to realize the positioning of the fixture 24. On the contrary, when the two first stop cylinders 272 retract and the two second stop cylinders 273 extend, the longitudinal drive cylinder 270 drives the connecting plate 271 to move toward the automatic operation side 200 of the machine. The two second stop cylinders 273 push the guide plate 253 toward the automatic operation side 200 of the machine. Through the linkage of the guide groove 255 and the guide pin 256, the positioning pins 250 at both ends are finally driven to move outward to achieve the disengagement of the jig 24. After the jig 24 is positioned or disengaged on the automatic operation side 200 of the machine, the transfer cylinder 22 drives the jig 24 to the manual operation side 201 for manual operation. This ensures that there is no power unit on the jig 24 on the manual operation side 201, which is very consistent with the requirements of the current safe operating environment.

[0039] It should be noted that, according to different process requirements, the fixture 24 located at the manual operation side 201 can be in a positioned state or in a released position state. It is only necessary to require the fixture 24 to complete the positioning or release operation at the automatic operation side 200 of the machine.

[0040] Note that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
