Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention mainly relates to the field of aluminum profile palletizing tooling technology, specifically a palletizing tooling assembly for aluminum profiles used in rail vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of rail vehicles, a large number of car body structural components need to be welded. The demand for lightweight car body materials is increasing, and aluminum alloys, with their advantages of light weight, high strength, and strong corrosion resistance, have been widely used in car body structural components. However, before welding, aluminum profiles need to have oil and oxide films removed from their surface or weld seams to ensure the quality of the weld joints. Currently, the method involves manually transporting or hoisting the aluminum profiles to be cleaned piece by piece onto an automated cleaning platform for automated cleaning, followed by manual unloading. This existing process results in high labor intensity for operators, low material handling efficiency, and low overall cleaning efficiency. Therefore, designing a palletizing fixture for aluminum profiles used in rail vehicles has significant engineering and economic value.

[0003] Because aluminum profiles come in various specifications, including flat aluminum profiles, curved aluminum profiles, and aluminum profiles with C-grooves in different positions, existing palletizing fixtures cannot meet the positioning requirements of multiple specifications of aluminum profiles, thus failing to meet the high-efficiency loading and unloading transportation process.

[0004] Chinese patent "CN202121206498.9 A transport fixture for aluminum alloy structural assemblies" discloses a transport fixture for aluminum alloy structural assemblies. The fixture is designed with a three-layer modular structure, which can realize the simultaneous transport of multiple types of structural assemblies. By using multiple isolation plates and limit strips set on the upper surface of the multi-layer mounting plate, the product can be positioned well, solving the positioning and clamping problems existing in the fixture, and can greatly improve production efficiency. However, it is not suitable for large-size aluminum profiles used in rail vehicles and cannot realize stacking and transport. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a simple structure, wide applicability, and compatibility with flat aluminum profiles, curved aluminum profiles and aluminum profiles with C-grooves in different positions, which can meet the positioning requirements of aluminum profiles of various specifications and high-efficiency loading and unloading.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A palletizing fixture assembly for aluminum profiles used in rail vehicles includes a flat plate fixture and an arc-shaped plate fixture. The flat plate fixture and the arc-shaped plate fixture include a platform plate base, a platform plate, several fixed support rods, and several movable support rods.

The fixed support rods of the arc-shaped plate fixture are also provided with shims for supporting the aluminum profiles. The arc-shaped plate fixture also includes pads for supporting the aluminum profiles, and the pads are embedded in the grooves.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention: the surface and / or sidewalls of the platform plate are covered with nylon plates.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention: the platform plate is provided with lifting lugs around its perimeter for lifting and transporting palletizing tooling components.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention: the connecting component is a connecting rod with screws.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention: the gasket is stepped.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention: the gasket is a plurality of pieces, and the plurality of gaskets are arranged evenly from top to bottom along the side wall of the fixed support rod.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention: the fixed support rod is welded to the edge of the platform plate.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the movable support rod is also provided with a handle.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] The present invention provides a palletizing fixture assembly for aluminum profiles used in rail vehicles, which includes a fixed support rod and a movable support rod. The movable support rod is installed in a slide groove through a connecting assembly and can move within the slide groove, enabling stepless adjustment of its position. It is compatible with flat aluminum profiles, curved aluminum profiles, and aluminum profiles with C-grooves at different positions, with different lengths, widths, and thicknesses. This meets the positioning requirements of aluminum profiles of various specifications and facilitates a highly efficient loading and unloading process. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a palletizing fixture assembly for aluminum profiles used in rail vehicles, including a flat fixture. The flat fixture includes a platform base 1, a platform plate 2, several fixed support rods 3, and several movable support rods 4. Several sliding grooves 5 are formed on the platform plate 2, and the movable support rods 4 are installed in the sliding grooves 5 through connecting components 6. The palletizing fixture assembly of this embodiment has fixed support rods 3 and movable support rods 4. The movable support rods 4 are installed in the sliding grooves 5 through connecting components 6, and the movable support rods 4 can move within the sliding grooves 5, realizing stepless adjustment of the position of the movable support rods 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the surface and / or sidewalls of the platform plate 2 are covered with nylon plates 9. The nylon plates 9 can effectively prevent the product from contacting the frame and avoid damaging the surface of the product.

[0030] In this embodiment, the platform plate 2 is provided with lifting lugs 10 around its perimeter for lifting and stacking tooling components. The lifting lugs 10 can be used to lift the stacking tooling components, and the platform plate base 1 of the stacking tooling components can be placed on the roller conveyor belt to transport the workpieces, thereby facilitating the loading and unloading of aluminum profiles.

[0031] In this embodiment, the connecting component 6 is a connecting rod with screws. The movable support rod 4 is connected to the platform plate 2 through the connecting rod with screws, so as to realize the stepless adjustment of the position of the movable support rod 4. It can be compatible with aluminum profiles of different sizes. The edge of the platform plate 2 is welded with a fixed support rod 3, which serves as a positioning base and works with the movable support rod 4 to position and clamp the aluminum profiles after stacking.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the flatbed fixture is mainly used to store flatbeds 12 and flatbeds with C-slots in non-middle positions. Each stack of materials is of the same model. If flatbeds 12 are stacked, flatbeds 12 are stacked layer by layer with fixed support rods 3 as positioning reference and moving support rods 4. If flatbeds with C-slots in non-middle positions are stacked, both ends of flatbeds 12 are supported by C-slots. The C-slots are paired up and stacked layer by layer, which meets the positioning requirements of flatbeds 12 of various specifications and the efficient loading and unloading transportation process.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] This embodiment provides an arc plate fixture, which includes a platform plate base 1, a platform plate 2, a plurality of fixed support rods 3 and a plurality of movable support rods 4. The platform plate 2 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 5, and the movable support rods 4 are installed in the sliding grooves 5 through connecting components 6. The fixed support rods 3 of the arc plate fixture are also provided with pads 7 for supporting the arc plate. The arc plate fixture also includes pads 8 for supporting the arc plate, and the pads 8 are embedded in the sliding grooves 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the gasket 7 is stepped and there are multiple gaskets 7. The multiple gaskets 7 are evenly arranged from top to bottom along the side wall of the fixed support rod 3. The gaskets 7 are used to provide support for the end of the arc plate.

[0036] In this embodiment, the fixed support rod 3 is welded to the edge of the platform plate 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the movable support rod 4 is also provided with a handle 11, which allows the movable support rod 4 to be pushed conveniently.

[0038] In this embodiment, the connecting component 6 is a connecting rod with screws. The movable support rod 4 is connected to the platform plate 2 through the connecting rod with screws, so as to realize the stepless adjustment of the position of the movable support rod 4 and be compatible with aluminum profiles of different sizes. The fixed support rod 3 is welded to the edge of the platform plate 2. The side of the fixed support rod 3 is provided with a stepped pad 7. The stepped pad 7 and the pad block 8 serve as the support points of the arc plate, and cooperate with the movable support rod 4 to position and clamp the aluminum profiles after stacking.

[0039] The curved plate fixture mainly stores curved plates with C-grooves, including large-radius curved plates 13, small-radius curved plates 14, and a C-grooved flat plate 15 in the middle. Each stack of materials is of the same type. If stacking curved plates with C-grooves, the support method needs to be determined according to the curvature of the arc. Figure 3 As shown, when stacking the large-arc curved plate 13, the stepped pads 7 and pads 8 support the two ends of the large-arc curved plate 13 respectively, and the C-shaped grooves are stacked layer by layer with the bottom facing down.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, when stacking the small-radius curved plate 14, the stepped pads 7 and pads 8 respectively support the left end and C-shaped groove of the small-radius curved plate 14, and the C-shaped groove is stacked layer by layer with the bottom facing down.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, when the C-groove plate 15 is in the middle of the stack, the stepped pads 7 and pads 8 support the two ends of the C-groove plate 15 in the middle, and the C-grooves are stacked layer by layer with the stack facing down, which meets the positioning requirements of multi-specification curved plates and the efficient loading and unloading transportation process.
