[0041] For the technical problems in the background art, the present application provides a double-layer fork circulation production line, which comprises a first fork module, a second fork module, a jig variable distance mechanism, a jig positioning mechanism, and a jig guide rail switching mechanism.

[0043] The double-layer fork circulation production line described in the embodiment of the application, the fixture 100 is slidably arranged on the first guide rail 210 of the guide rail support 200, and the guide rail support 200 is further provided with a fork module 300, the fork module 300 can move a plurality of fixtures 100 together by a fixed distance, so that the fixture 100 moves from one station to the next station. However, if the distance between the adjacent two stations is different, after the fork module 300 completes the fork on the fixture 100, the secondary fork module 400 arranged on one side of the first guide rail 210 can move the fixture 100 after the first fork again to realize the second fork, so that the fixture 100 reaches the position of the next station. Specifically, the secondary fork module 400 drives the plug down mechanism 420 to move horizontally on the third guide rail 412 to the upper side of the fixture 100 by arranging the secondary driving unit 413 on the gantry 411, then the plug down mechanism 420 inserts the plug 425 downward into the plug positioning wheel 110 of the fixture 100, and then the secondary driving unit 413 moves the fixture 100 to the specified position again to complete the second fork.
[0044] The double-layer fork circulation production line described in the embodiment of the application, the fixture 100 moves a fixed distance under the driving of the fork module 300, and then the secondary fork module 400 arranged on one side is used for secondary fork, so that some fixtures 100 move a distance to reach the specified position under the secondary fork, which has the advantages of flexible configuration, high transmission efficiency and small layout area.
[0045] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 The plug-in tongue lower pressing mechanism 420 includes a translation sliding plate 421, a fourth guide rail 422, a lower pressing sliding frame 423, and a lower pressing cylinder 424.

The secondary driving unit 413 drives the translation sliding plate 421 to realize translation. Then, the fourth guide rail 422 is arranged on the translation sliding plate 421 in the vertical direction. The plug-in tongue 425 is slidably arranged on the fourth guide rail 422 through the lower pressing sliding frame 423. The lower pressing sliding frame 423 is controlled to slide through the lower pressing cylinder 424, thereby driving the plug-in tongue 425 to move vertically. When the plug-in tongue 425 needs to be inserted into the jig 100, the plug-in tongue 425 is driven to move vertically through the lower pressing cylinder 424. When the plug-in tongue 425 needs to be moved for secondary fork pulling, the plug-in tongue 425 is driven to move horizontally through the secondary driving unit 413.
[0046] Further, the cylinder diameter of the lower pressing cylinder 424 needs to be calculated and selected according to force. On the one hand, the mass of the cylinder needs to be as small as possible to avoid damage to the third guide rail 412 caused by too large load. On the other hand, the plug-in tongue 425 needs to be prevented from being loosened during the secondary fork pulling movement.
[0047] In order to limit the movement range of the lower pressing sliding frame 423, as shown in Figure 2 The lower pressing sliding frame 423 is provided with a buffer upper limit block 426. The translation sliding plate is provided with a buffer lower limit block 427. The buffer upper limit block 426 and the buffer lower limit block 427 are arranged to limit the movement range of the lower pressing sliding frame 423. The buffer upper limit block 426 and the buffer lower limit block 427 have a buffering effect. When the lower pressing sliding frame 423 moves to contact the buffer upper limit block 426 and the buffer lower limit block 427, a buffering force is provided to avoid damage to the equipment caused by impact of the lower pressing sliding frame 423.

In the first fork, the fork 310 is horizontally moved on the second guide rail 320 through the fork connecting mechanism 350, the fork 310 is movable in the vertical direction on the fork connecting mechanism 350, the fork jacking mechanism 340 on the bottom edge of the fork 310 lifts the fork 310, the pins 311 on the fork 310 are inserted into the positioning hole 100A of the jig 100, and then the fork driving mechanism 330 drives the fork 310 to translate, thereby driving the connected jig 100 to translate, since the moving distance of the fork 310 is fixed, the moving distance of the jig 100 during the moving process is also a fixed value, after completing the first fork, the fork jacking mechanism 340 lowers the fork 310, and then the fork driving mechanism 330 drives the fork 310 to return to the position before the fork, and the next fork is performed.
[0049] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The fork 310 is provided with a jig distance changing mechanism 500 at the position where the jig moves to in the secondary fork module 400, the jig distance changing mechanism 500 includes a fixed plate 510 fixedly connected with the fork 310, the fixed plate 510 is provided with a fifth guide rail 520, the fifth guide rail 520 is slidably provided with a distance changing pin 530, the fixed plate 510 is provided with a distance changing cylinder 540 fixedly connected, and the output end of the distance changing cylinder 540 is fixedly connected with the distance changing pin 530. Since the moving position of the jig needs to be considered compatible with the type change in the secondary fork, that is, the position after the secondary fork cannot be fixed, in order to adapt to this change, the jig distance changing mechanism 500 is arranged on the fork 310 to adapt to the position change of the jig. The distance changing pin 530 is slidably arranged on the fifth guide rail 520, and the position of the distance changing pin 530 is controlled by the distance changing cylinder 540. The position after the secondary fork is determined according to the machining station, the jig distance changing mechanism 500 adjusts the position of the distance changing pin 530 to correspond to the position of the jig 100 after the secondary fork, so as to ensure that the distance changing pin 530 is inserted into the positioning hole 100A of the jig 100 in the first fork, and the machining position can be changed to adapt to different jig models, which has the advantages of high compatibility.
[0050] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the fork driving mechanism 330 comprises a fork translation motor 331, a screw bearing seat 332, a ball screw 333, a sixth guide rail 334 and a sliding block 335. The fork translation motor 331 is fixed at one end of the screw bearing seat 332. The ball screw 333 passes through the bearing on the screw bearing seat 332 and is fixedly connected with the output end of the fork translation motor 331. The sixth guide rail 334 is arranged at the bottom of the screw bearing seat 332 and is parallel to the ball screw 333. The sliding block 335 is slidably arranged on the sixth guide rail 334.

The sliding block 335 installed on the ball screw 333 moves along the sixth guide rail 334 in the rotation of the ball screw 333, thereby driving the fork connected with the sliding block 335 to move.
[0051] The fork connecting mechanism 350 is used for connecting the fork 310 between the fork driving mechanism 330 and the second guide rail 320. Figure 6 As shown, the fork connecting mechanism 330 comprises a connecting plate 351 and an eighth guide rail 352. One side of the connecting plate 351 is fixedly connected with the sliding block 335 or is slidably connected with the second guide rail 320.

The function of the fork connecting mechanism 350 is to connect the fork 310 so that the fork 310 moves horizontally and vertically along the second guide rail 320 and the eighth guide rail 352. Specifically, the protrusion 354 is arranged to fix the fork 310. The eighth guide rail 352 is arranged in the vertical direction. The fork 310 connected with the sliding table 353 is arranged on the eighth guide rail 352, so that the fork 310 moves in the vertical direction in cooperation with the fork jacking mechanism 340.
[0052] Specifically, as shown in Figure 7As shown, the puller jacking mechanism 340 includes a fixed seat 341, a jacking cylinder 342, a seventh guide rail 343, and a jacking seat 344.

The top of the jacking seat 344 is provided with a guide wheel 345 abutting against the bottom edge of the puller 310. By arranging the jacking cylinder 342, the jacking seat 344 is driven to ascend or descend in the vertical direction of the seventh guide rail 343, so that the guide wheel 345 arranged on the jacking seat 344 jacks up the puller 310 abutting against it, so that the puller 310 realizes the ascending or descending in the vertical direction.
[0053] In order to make the jig 100 after the puller more accurately located in the machining position, as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the jig positioning mechanism 600 is arranged on one side of the jig 100.

The output end of the positioning cylinder 620 is fixedly connected to the positioning pulley 630. The jig 100 is provided with a positioning groove 100B. The positioning pulley 630 can abut against the positioning groove 100B under the drive of the positioning cylinder 620. By arranging the jig positioning mechanism 600, the jig 100 can be accurately dropped into the pre-ordered machining position. The jig 100 is provided with the positioning groove 100B. The positioning pulley 630 is driven by the positioning cylinder 620 to abut into the positioning groove 100B, so that the jig 100 is limited in the required machining position.
[0054] In the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 As shown, the guide rail bracket 200, the first guide rail 210, the puller module 300, and the secondary puller module 400 include two groups arranged in parallel. The two ends of the guide rail bracket 200 are connected through the jig guide rail switching mechanism 700 respectively. The guide rail bracket 200 and the jig guide rail switching mechanism 700 enclose to form a rectangular transmission line. The jig 100 is switched between the two first guide rails 210 on both sides through the jig guide rail switching mechanism 700. By arranging two groups of first guide rails 210 and connecting them at both ends through the jig guide rail switching mechanism 700, the guide rail forms a circulating backflow line, reduces the occupied area of the equipment, and improves the transmission efficiency.
[0055] This application describes a double-layer shift fork cycle production line. For equally spaced processing positions, fixture transfer is achieved through a single shift fork. For unequally spaced processing positions, fixture transfer is achieved through a second shift fork based on the first shift fork. When the fixture 100 is in its initial position, the shift fork lifting mechanism 340 lifts the shift fork 310, causing the pin 311 to insert into the positioning hole 100A of the fixture 100. Then, the shift fork driving mechanism 330 moves the shift fork 310 and multiple fixtures 100 a fixed distance to complete one shift fork. The shift fork lifting mechanism 340 then lowers the shift fork 310, and the shift fork driving mechanism 330 drives the shift fork 310 back to its original position. Then, the tongue pressing mechanism 420 inserts the tongue 425 into the fixture 100 requiring a second shift fork after the first shift fork. The secondary drive unit 413 continues to move the fixture 100, allowing it to complete the second shift fork. Finally, the tongue 425 rises back to its position after the first shift fork.
[0056] The double-layer shift fork circulation production line described in this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0057] 1. The jig 100 moves a fixed distance under the drive of the pull fork module 300, and then is pulled a second time by the secondary pull fork module 400 set on one side, so that some of the jigs 100 that have moved at equal intervals continue to move a distance under the secondary pull fork to reach the designated position. It has the advantages of flexible configuration, high transmission efficiency and small layout area.
[0058] 2. To address the issue of inconsistent positioning of the secondary shift fork after compatibility changes, a fixture pitch-changing mechanism 500 is incorporated into the shift fork 310 to accommodate positional variations. The pitch-changing pin 530 is slidably mounted on the fifth guide rail 520, and its position is controlled by a pitch-changing cylinder 540. The position after the secondary shift fork is determined based on the machining station. The fixture pitch-changing mechanism 500 adjusts the position of the pitch-changing pin 530 to correspond to the position of the fixture 100 after the secondary shift fork, ensuring that the pitch-changing pin 530 is inserted into the positioning hole 100A of the fixture 100 during the first shift fork. This adaptable mechanism accommodates different fixture models and changes in machining position, offering high compatibility.
[0059] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the present invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
