Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of mechanical assembly, and in particular relates to a docking and transfer mechanism and a transfer platform having the same. Background Technology

[0002] When assembling large components, it is necessary to transfer and connect the components on the assembly platform. The following problems exist in the assembly process: (1) Sometimes single component transfer is required during the transfer and connection process, and sometimes multiple components need to be transferred at the same time; (2) Automatic transfer is used when the component is heavy and the transfer distance is long, and manual transfer is used when the component is light and the transfer distance is short.

[0003] Chinese patent CN112917142A discloses an axial movement mechanism, which mainly includes a linkage mechanism, an axial drive mechanism, and an axial movement guide mechanism, and realizes platform transfer through a motor and a gear and rack module; Chinese patent CN112756959A discloses a linear guide mechanism, which mainly includes a roller guide rail module and a gear and rack docking power mechanism, and realizes platform transfer through a gear and rack combination module; however, the shortcomings of both mechanisms are: complex structure, high manufacturing cost, inability to realize single-platform movement and multi-platform synchronous movement at the same time, and inability to simultaneously meet manual and automatic operation requirements.

[0004] The literature on the design and research of automatic docking and assembly mechanisms for missile assembly briefly describes a docking and transfer mechanism. This mechanism uses friction to drive the automatic docking and assembly mechanism and the product to move along the axial direction. However, this mechanism has the problem that it cannot simultaneously achieve single-platform motion and multi-platform synchronous motion, and cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of manual operation and automatic operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, this application aims to propose a method for connecting reprinting organizations and their reprinting platforms to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows:

The operating component is provided with a locking component that limits the position of the transmission component.

[0010] A clamping component, wherein the clamping component is connected to the transmission component via a guide component thereon, and the clamping component is located at the bottom end of the part placement platform;

[0012] In response to the locking member being in the unlocked state, the clamping member is controlled to move downward along the direction of the guide member so that the clamping member is clamped and connected to the clamped part.

[0013] Secondly, based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a reprint platform, including:

[0014] An assembly platform, comprising a platform base and linear modules mounted on the platform base;

[0015] A docking and transfer mechanism as described in the first aspect above is provided on the linear module;

[0016] The conveying mechanism includes a conveying component and a limiting post. The limiting post is disposed on the conveying component, and the clamping component is used to clamp the limiting post so as to drive one or more of the part placement platforms to move on the linear module.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a docking and transfer mechanism, including:

[0037] Parts placement platform 1, which provides a platform for placing parts to be assembled, and the interior of parts placement platform 1 has a hollow cavity.

[0038] Transmission component 2 is disposed in the cavity, and one end of transmission component 2 extends through to the outside of the part placement platform 1 and is connected to the operating component 3. The operating component 3 is provided with a locking component 4 that limits the position of transmission component 2.

[0039] The clamping component 6 is connected to the transmission component 2 via the guide component 5 provided thereon, and the clamping component 6 is located at the bottom end of the parts placement platform 1.

[0040] In response to the locking member 4 being in a locked state, the clamping member 6 is controlled to rise along the direction of the guide member 5 so as to separate the clamping member 6 from the clamped part;

[0041] In response to the locking member 4 being in the unlocked state, the locking member 6 is controlled to move downward along the direction of the guide member 5 so that the locking member 6 is locked and connected to the locked part.

[0042] The docking and transfer mechanism described in this embodiment can be used with different types of parts placement platforms 1 and clamping parts. It requires less structural installation space and fewer installation conditions, and can be applied to the assembly and docking process of different types of parts, achieving the technical effect of transferring and docking parts.

[0043] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the parts placement platform 1 is a box with a hollow interior. The bottom plate of the box has a groove 11, and the groove 11 has multiple through holes for installing the guide member 5.

[0044] The side wall of the housing has a through hole 12 for the transmission component 2 to pass through, and multiple adjustment holes 13 for the locking component 4 to lock or release.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the parts placement platform 1 is a closed square box. The bottom plate, top plate and side plates of the box are fixedly connected by screws. An inner groove 11 is opened in the center of the bottom plate. Multiple through holes are opened in the groove 11 to provide mounting holes for installing the guide member 5.

[0046] A through hole 12 is provided on one side panel of the housing to provide mounting holes for the transmission component 2. Simultaneously, multiple adjustment holes 13 are provided on the side panel (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment only takes three adjustment holes 13 as an example. Among them, hole one is the locking position of the mechanism in the pressed state, and hole two and hole three are the locking positions of the mechanism in the raised state. The locking member 4 is located in different adjustment holes 13 to achieve locking of the entire mechanism in the raised and pressed states.

[0047] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the transmission component 2 includes a crankshaft 21, a crank 22, a connecting rod 23, a connecting plate 24, and a bearing seat 25;

[0048] Two bearing seats 25 are disposed in the cavity, the crankshaft 21 is rotatably disposed on the two bearing seats 25, the crank 22 is mounted on the crankshaft 21 and is hinged to the connecting plate 24 through the connecting rod 23.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bearing seat 25 is fixedly installed on the bottom plate of the housing by screws, the crankshaft 21 is assembled on the two bearing seats 25, the crank 22 is installed on the crankshaft 21, and the crank 22 is hinged to the connecting plate 24 through the connecting rod 23. The connecting plate 24 is connected to the clamping member 6 at the bottom through the guide member 5. The operating handle 32, driven by the crankshaft 21, the crank 22, the connecting rod 23 and the connecting plate 24, achieves the purpose of driving the clamping member 6 to move up and down.

[0050] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide member 5 includes a guide shaft 51 and a guide bushing 52, and there are multiple guide shafts 51 and guide bushings 52;

[0051] Multiple guide bushings 52 are correspondingly installed in the through holes 12 opened in the housing;

[0052] The connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the clamping member 6 via the guide shaft 51, and the guide shaft 51 is fitted inside the guide bushing 52 so that the clamping member 6 can move up and down along the guide shaft 51.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, four guide bushings 52 are provided. The four guide bushings 52 are set at the edge of the clamping member 6. The guide shaft 51 cooperates with the guide bushings 52 to realize the up and down movement of the clamping member 6.

[0054] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the clamping component 6 includes a clamping support 61, a clamping member 62, and a torsion spring 63;

[0055] The clamping support 61 has an opening 64 on one side, and a through groove 65 communicating with the opening 64 is provided inside it. The two inner walls of the clamping support 61 located at the opening 64 are respectively provided with through grooves 66. There are two clamping parts 62, and both clamping parts 62 are set in the through grooves 66 through a rotating shaft 67.

[0056] The clamping support 61 is also provided with an inner groove 68 that communicates with the through groove 66. The torsion spring 63 is installed in the inner groove 68 and is used to reset the clamping member 62.

[0057] The through groove 66 is also equipped with a stop pin 69 for limiting and locking the clamping part 62;

[0058] The clamping support 61 is provided with several fixing holes 610, and the guide shaft 51 is fixed in the fixing holes 610.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the example of having an opening 64 on one side of the clamping support 61 is used for explanation. The clamping member 62 described in this embodiment is a triangular clamping block. By setting two corresponding clamping blocks at the opening 64 and rotating around the rotating shaft 67, the torsion spring 63 can effectively reset the clamping blocks, and the stop pin 69 can effectively limit the rotation direction of the clamping blocks.

[0060] It should be noted that, except for this embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, bidirectional clamping can also be achieved by opening corresponding openings 64 and inner grooves 68 on both sides of the clamping support 61, and setting corresponding clamping parts 62, torsion springs 63 and stop pins 69.

[0061] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the control component 3 includes a mounting plate 31 and a control handle 32 disposed on the mounting plate 31;

[0062] The crankshaft 21 passes through the through hole 12 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 31;

[0063] Multiple adjustment holes 13 are arranged in an arc shape, and the locking component 4 is arranged corresponding to the adjustment holes 13;

[0064] The locking component 4 includes a fixed sleeve, and a connecting rod and a spring installed inside the fixed sleeve;

[0065] A spring is fitted onto a connecting rod, one end of which has a locking head, and the other end has a handle;

[0066] The inner wall of the fixed sleeve is provided with a protrusion to limit the position of the spring and the connecting rod.

[0067] It should be noted that the locking component described in this embodiment is an existing mature part that was actually purchased. The structure of the locking component itself has not been improved, and will not be described in detail here.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the handle is rotated and the lever is pulled so that the locking head corresponds to each adjustment hole. The position of the platform in different motion states is locked by rotating the handle and the locking head, making the operation easy and simple.

[0069] Furthermore, when the components are lightweight and the transport distance is short, this embodiment can achieve manual transport of the platform by manually operating the handle.

[0070] Besides this embodiment, when the components are heavy and the transport distance is long, an automatic transport method can be used. In this embodiment, the automatic transport involves replacing the operating and locking components with a drive motor with a brake and a coupling connected to the crankshaft 21. The drive motor is connected to an external controller to control its positioning and power-off retention, meeting the application requirements of automatic operation. It should be noted that the controller described in this embodiment uses an existing, mature controller, and this embodiment has not improved upon it; therefore, further details will not be provided.

[0071] Based on the same inventive concept, and corresponding to the mechanisms of any of the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application also provide a reprinting platform.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, the reposting platform includes:

[0073] Assembly platform 7 includes platform base 71 and linear module 72 disposed on platform base 71;

[0074] The platform base 71 has a cavity, and the conveying component 81 is installed inside the cavity;

[0075] The linear module 72 includes linear guides and sliding supports. The two linear guides are mounted on the platform base 71, and the sliding supports are slidably mounted on the linear guides. The parts mounting platform 1 is mounted on the sliding supports.

[0076] The conveying mechanism 8 includes a conveying component 81 and a limiting post 82. The limiting post 82 is disposed on the conveying component 81, and the clamping member 62 is used to clamp the limiting post 82 so as to drive one or more parts placement platforms 1 to move on the linear module 72.

[0077] Specifically, the parts placement platform 1 is used to place the parts to be assembled.

[0078] The conveying mechanism 8 consists of a conveying component 81 and a limiting post 82. The conveying component 81 is a conveyor belt or other module that can realize linear transmission. The limiting post 82 is used to connect with the transfer mechanism to drive one or more parts placement platforms 1 to move on the assembly platform 7.

[0079] The assembly platform 7 consists of a linear module 72 and a platform base 71, which is used to support the part placement platform 1 and can realize the motion guidance of the part placement platform 1. The linear module 72 is a module that can realize linear motion guidance, including but not limited to guide rails and sliders.

[0080] In the actual implementation of this solution, the movement of the component placement platform on the assembly platform 7 is achieved by connecting and disconnecting the transfer mechanism and the conveying mechanism 8. The transfer mechanism can realize the synchronous movement of two or more component placement platforms 1 on the assembly platform 7. When a single platform needs to move, the connection mechanism of other platforms is in the unlocked state. When multiple platforms need to move at the same time, the transfer mechanisms of multiple platforms are all in the locked state.

[0081] like Figure 11 As shown, when the transfer mechanism is in the raised state, the limiting post 82 in the conveying mechanism 8 and the clamping support 61 in the transfer mechanism cannot be connected, and the transmission component 2 will not drive the part placement platform 1 to move during its movement. When one or more part placement platforms 1 need to move on the assembly platform 7, the transfer mechanism needs to be adjusted to the pressed state. The specific operation process is as follows:

[0082] First, pull up the handle of the locking component 4 to adjust it from the locked state to the unlocked state. Then, rotate the transmission component 2 by operating the handle 32 to rotate the locking component 4 from position two or three on the housing to position one, and adjust the locking component 4 to the locked state so that the locking head of the locking component 4 is inserted into position one. During this process, the operating handle 32 moves the clamping support 61 to the bottom position through the crankshaft 21, crank 22, and connecting rod 23.

[0083] like Figure 12As shown, after the transfer mechanism is adjusted to the downward pressing state, the conveying mechanism 8 moves in the direction of the arrow, driving the limiting post 82 to move towards the transfer mechanism. When the limiting post 82 contacts the clamping member 62, the clamping member 62 rotates to both sides of the rotating shaft under the pressure of the limiting post 82, allowing the limiting post 82 to enter the through groove 65 of the clamping support 61 through the clamping member 62 and contact the clamping support 61. After the limiting post 82 passes through, the clamping member 62 returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring 63. The stop pin 69 is used to limit the position of the clamping member 62. The specific connection process is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, when connection state 3 is reached, the transmission component 2 can drive the part placement platform 1 to move back and forth on the assembly platform 7.

[0084] When it is necessary to manually or non-manually transfer one or more parts placement platforms 1, it is necessary to separate the transfer mechanism from the transmission component 2. The specific operation process is as follows:

[0085] First, pull up the handle of the locking component 4 to adjust the locking component 4 from the locked state to the unlocked state. Then, rotate the transmission component 2 by manipulating the handle 32 to rotate the locking component 4 from the position of hole one on the box to the position of hole two or hole three, and adjust the locking component 4 to the locked state so that the locking head of the locking component 4 is inserted into hole two or hole three. At this time, the clamping support 61 of the transfer mechanism will be raised, so that the transfer mechanism is in the raised state and the transfer mechanism is separated from the transmission component 81. At this time, the transmission component 81 will not drive the parts placement table 1 to move back and forth.

[0086] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.

Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the embodiments of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
