Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of loading station technology, and in particular to a manual loading station. Background Technology
[0002] In a manual loading station, goods are loaded onto pallets. The angle of the turntable is determined to inform the next processing step. Accurate judgment of the turntable angle is crucial; an incorrect judgment can lead to errors in subsequent processes or even collisions causing equipment damage. Manual loading stations use pallets to load goods. Multiple stations are spaced apart, and the doors of adjacent stations cannot open simultaneously to minimize the distance between them.
[0003] The existing manual loading station has a double-door structure with rollers on both sides of the bottom of the double doors. This requires a long support groove at the bottom of the double doors to support the rollers, resulting in a large space occupation of the entire device and low space utilization. It also makes it impossible to quickly determine the angle of the turntable, which affects the subsequent work.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a manual loading station. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing production technology, the applicant provides a manual loading station that enables rapid connection of the oil circuit connector by quickly determining the angle of the rotating disc.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A manual loading station, comprising: Loading station main body; The rotating disc positioning structure is installed inside the main body of the loading station and is used to quickly determine the angle of the rotating disc; The oil line connection structure is located inside the main body of the loading station and is used for oil line connection. The rotating disk has a positioning pin at the bottom, which consists of a first positioning pin, a second positioning pin, and a third positioning pin from top to bottom. The rotating disk has a first positioning hole, a second positioning hole, a third positioning hole, and a fourth positioning hole that match the positioning pin. The dimensions of the fourth positioning hole are from largest to smallest as follows: third positioning hole, third positioning pin, second positioning hole, second positioning pin, first positioning hole, and first positioning pin. The dimensions of the first positioning hole and the fourth positioning hole are the same. A first sensing plate is located near the first positioning hole at the bottom of the rotating disk, and a photoelectric switch that matches the first sensing plate is located below the rotating disk.
[0007] Its further features are: The loading station has a double-door structure on one side, and a support groove is provided below the double-door structure. The double-door structure includes a first door and a second door. A first roller is provided at the bottom of the first door near the second door, and a second roller is provided at the bottom of the second door near the first door. A first fixed wheel and a second fixed wheel are respectively provided at both ends of the support groove.
[0008] The bottom of the rotating disk is provided with a second sensing plate that matches the photoelectric switch near the second positioning hole.
[0009] The bottom of the rotating disk is equipped with a rotating component, which is mounted on the base. The rotating component drives the rotating disk to rotate 10° each time.
[0010] The first door and the second door are driven by a drive mechanism. The extension and retraction end of the first cylinder is fixed to the first door through a connector, and the extension and retraction end of the second cylinder is fixed to the second door through a connector.
[0011] The main body of the loading station is provided with limit rods at the top of the first gate and the second gate. A first slider is provided on the first gate and a second slider is provided on the second gate. The first slider is slidably mounted on the limit rod and the second slider is slidably mounted on the limit rod.
[0012] The oil circuit connection structure includes an oil circuit connection joint, a support plate, and a support frame. The oil circuit connection joint is fixed on the support plate, and the support frame is fixed inside the loading station body.
[0013] The top of the support frame is provided with a slide rail, and the bottom of the support plate is provided with a third slider that matches the slide rail. The third slider is slidably mounted on the slide rail.
[0014] The support frame is equipped with a third cylinder, and the other end of the third cylinder is mounted on the support plate.
[0015] The support frame has a fourth cylinder on the side away from the third cylinder. The fourth cylinder is located below the support plate, and the bottom of the support plate has a limiting hole that matches the fourth cylinder.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention features a compact and reasonable structure, and is easy to operate. By rotating the rotating disk, when the output positioning pin is inserted into the first positioning hole, material can be loaded, i.e., the pallet is placed on the rotating disk's mounting bracket. After loading, the rotating disk rotates again, and when the output positioning pin is inserted into the second positioning hole, oil circuit connection can be performed. The third cylinder extends, driving the support plate to move. The support plate then moves the oil circuit connection joint. After the oil circuit connection joint moves to a predetermined position, the fourth cylinder extends, its telescopic end extending into the limiting hole to limit the support plate, thereby limiting the oil circuit connection joint. The oil circuit connection joint is then connected. By quickly determining the angle of the rotating disk, rapid connection of the oil circuit connection joint is achieved.
[0017] In addition, the present invention also has the following advantages: (1) The rotating component drives the rotating disk to rotate. After the rotating disk rotates, the positioning cylinder drives the positioning pin to move upward. When the first segment of the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole, the second segment of the positioning pin is not inserted into the positioning hole, and the photoelectric switch senses the first sensing plate, then the output signal positioning pin is inserted into the first positioning hole. When the first segment of the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole, the second segment of the positioning pin is not inserted into the positioning hole, and the photoelectric switch does not sense the first and second sensing plates, then the output signal positioning pin is inserted into the fourth positioning hole. When the second segment of the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole, the third segment of the positioning pin is not inserted into the positioning hole, and the photoelectric switch senses the second sensing plate, then the output signal positioning pin is inserted into the second positioning hole. When the third segment of the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole, then the output signal positioning pin is inserted into the third positioning hole.
[0018] (2) The second sensing plate near the second positioning hole is used to distinguish between the second positioning hole and the third positioning hole; to prevent the positioning cylinder from making a mistake and affecting the accuracy of the judgment result. If the positioning hole above the positioning pin is the third positioning hole, and the positioning cylinder makes a mistake, causing the second segment of the positioning pin to be inserted into the third positioning hole, while the third segment of the positioning pin is not inserted into the third positioning hole, then the photoelectric switch does not sense the first sensing plate and the second sensing plate. At this time, the output signal is that the positioning pin is inserted into the third positioning hole, and the positioning cylinder error signal is output.
[0019] (3) The first cylinder and the second cylinder extend simultaneously, driving the first door body and the second door body to move. The first door body is stably supported by the cooperation of the first roller and the first fixed wheel, and the second door body is stably supported by the cooperation of the second roller and the second fixed wheel. This ensures the stability of the first door body and the second door body when they are opened. After the first door body and the second door body are fully opened, one end of the first door body is outside the support groove, and one end of the second door body is outside the support groove, which makes the length of the support groove shorter, reduces space occupation, further reduces the distance between two adjacent manual loading stations, and improves space utilization.
[0020] (4) The extension end of the first cylinder is fixed to the first door body through a connector, and the extension end of the second cylinder is fixed to the second door body through a connector. The first cylinder drives the movement of the first door body, and the second cylinder drives the movement of the second door body.
[0021] (5) When the first door and the second door move, the first slider and the second slider can slide on the limiting rod, thereby limiting the first door and the second door, making the movement of the first door and the second door more stable.
[0022] (6) The limit rod cooperates with the first slider and the second slider, and the first roller cooperates with the first fixed wheel, and the second roller cooperates with the second fixed wheel, making the movement of the first door body and the second door body more stable.

Detailed Implementation
[0035] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] like Figures 1-11 As shown, a manual loading station includes a loading station body 1, a double-door structure 2, a rotating disc positioning structure 3, and an oil circuit connection structure 4. The double-door structure 2 is located on one side of the loading station body 1, while the rotating disc positioning structure 3 and the oil circuit connection structure 4 are located inside the loading station body 1. The manual loading station also includes a manual door, stairs, and other structures.
[0037] The double-door structure 2 is controlled by a drive mechanism. The loading station body 1 has a support groove 206 below the double-door structure 2. Both ends of the support groove 206 are equipped with fixed wheels. The bottom of the double-door structure 2 is equipped with a roller on the side away from the fixed wheels. The double-door structure 2 is supported by the cooperation between the fixed wheels and the roller.
[0038] The double door structure 2 includes a first door body 201 and a second door body 202. The rollers include a first roller 2011 and a second roller 2021. The first roller 2011 is provided on the bottom of the first door body 201 near the second door body 202, and the second roller 2021 is provided on the bottom of the second door body 202 near the first door body 201.
[0039] The drive mechanism includes a first cylinder 204 and a second cylinder 205. The telescopic end of the first cylinder 204 is fixed to the first door body 201 through a connector, and the telescopic end of the second cylinder 205 is fixed to the second door body 202 through a connector. The first cylinder 204 drives the movement of the first door body 201, and the second cylinder 205 drives the movement of the second door body 202. The loading station main body 1 is provided with a limit rod 203 at the top of the first door 201 and the second door 202. A first slider 2012 is provided on the first door 201, and a second slider 2022 is provided on the second door 202. The first slider 2012 and the second slider 2022 are slidably mounted on the limit rod 203. When the first door 201 and the second door 202 move, they can drive the first slider 2012 and the second slider 2022 to slide on the limit rod 203, thereby limiting the movement of the first door 201 and the second door 202, making the movement of the first door 201 and the second door 202 more stable. The first cylinder 204 and the second cylinder 205 are both arranged parallel to the limit rod 203.
[0040] The fixed wheel includes a first fixed wheel 2061 and a second fixed wheel 2062. The first fixed wheel 2061 is provided at one end of the support groove 206 below the first door body 201, and the second fixed wheel 2062 is provided at one end of the support groove 206 below the second door body 202. The first fixed wheel 2061 supports the first door body 201, and the second fixed wheel 2062 supports the second door body 202.
[0041] The first roller 2011, the second roller 2021, the first fixed roller 2061, and the second fixed roller 2062 can each be one or two.
[0042] The first cylinder 204 and the second cylinder 205 extend simultaneously. The first cylinder 204 drives the first door body 201 to move, and the second cylinder 205 drives the second door body 202 to move. The first door body 201 slides along the limiting rod 203 via the first slider 2012, and the second door body 202 slides along the limiting rod 203 via the second slider 2022. The first door body 201 and the second door body 202 stably open along the limiting rod 203. The first door body 201 drives the first roller 2011 to roll in the support groove 206, and the second door body 202 drives the second roller 2021 to roll in the support groove 206. The other side of the first door body 201 rolls on the first fixed wheel 2061, and the second door body 202... The first door 201 is stably supported by the first roller 2011 and the first fixed roller 2061, and the second door 202 is stably supported by the second roller 2021 and the second fixed roller 2062. This ensures the stability of the first door 201 and the second door 202 when they are opened. After the first door 201 and the second door 202 are fully opened, one end of the first door 201 is outside the support groove 206, and one end of the second door 202 is outside the support groove 206. This makes the length of the support groove 206 shorter, reduces space occupation, further reduces the distance between two adjacent manual loading stations, and improves space utilization.
[0043] The rotating disk positioning structure 3 includes a rotating disk 301, a rotating component 3011 is provided at the bottom of the rotating disk 301, and the rotating component 3011 is provided on the base 3012. The rotating component 3011 drives the rotating disk 301 to rotate.
[0044] A positioning cylinder 306 is mounted on the base 3012 via a connecting bracket 3061. The telescopic end of the positioning cylinder 306 is equipped with a positioning pin, which has three sections: a first positioning pin 3062, a second positioning pin 3063, and a third positioning pin 3064. These three sections are arranged from top to bottom, with the size of the first positioning pin 3062 being smaller than that of the second positioning pin 3063, and the size of the second positioning pin 3063 being smaller than that of the third positioning pin 3064.
[0045] The rotating disk 301 has four positioning holes at intervals that match the positioning pins. These four positioning holes are designated as a first positioning hole 302, a second positioning hole 303, a third positioning hole 304, and a fourth positioning hole 305. The first positioning hole 302 is 90° apart from the second positioning hole 303; the second positioning hole 303 is 90° apart from the third positioning hole 304; the third positioning hole 304 is 90° apart from the fourth positioning hole 305; and the fourth positioning hole 305 is 90° apart from the first positioning hole 302. The dimensions of the first positioning hole 302 and the fourth positioning hole 305 are the same. The dimension of the first positioning hole 302 is smaller than the dimension of the second positioning hole 303, and the dimension of the second positioning hole 303 is smaller than the dimension of the third positioning hole 304.
[0046] The first positioning pin 3062 matches the first positioning hole 302 and the fourth positioning hole 305; the second positioning pin 3063 matches the second positioning hole 303; and the third positioning pin 3064 matches the third positioning hole 304.
[0047] The size of the first positioning pin 3062 is smaller than the size of the first positioning hole 302 and the fourth positioning hole 305, so the first positioning pin 3062 can be inserted into the first positioning hole 302 and the fourth positioning hole 305. The size of the second positioning pin 3063 and the third positioning pin 3064 is larger than the size of the first positioning hole 302 and the fourth positioning hole 305, so the second positioning pin 3063 and the third positioning pin 3064 cannot be inserted into the first positioning hole 302 and the fourth positioning hole 305. The size of the second positioning pin 3063 is smaller than the size of the second positioning hole 303, so the second positioning pin 3063 can be inserted into the second positioning hole 303. The size of the third positioning pin 3064 is larger than the size of the second positioning hole 303, so the third positioning pin 3064 cannot be inserted into the second positioning hole 303. The size of the third positioning pin 3064 is smaller than the size of the third positioning hole 304, so the third positioning pin 3064 can be inserted into the third positioning hole 304.
[0048] A first sensing element 308 is provided at the bottom of the rotating disk 301 near the first positioning hole 302, and a second sensing element 309 is provided at the bottom of the rotating disk 301 near the second positioning hole 303. A photoelectric switch 307 matching the first sensing element 308 and the second sensing element 309 is provided on the connecting frame 3061.
[0049] The rotating component 3011 drives the rotating disk 301 to rotate. After the rotating disk 301 rotates to a certain angle, the positioning cylinder 306 drives the positioning pin to move upward. When the first positioning pin 3062 is inserted into the positioning hole and the second positioning pin 3063 is not inserted into the positioning hole, and the photoelectric switch 307 senses the first sensing plate 308, then at this time, the output signal is sent that the positioning pin is inserted into the first positioning hole 302. When the first positioning pin 3062 is inserted into the positioning hole, the second positioning pin 3063 is not inserted into the positioning hole, and the photoelectric switch 307 does not sense the first sensing piece 308 and the second sensing piece 309, then at this time, the output signal positioning pin is inserted into the fourth positioning hole 305. When the second positioning pin 3063 is inserted into the positioning hole, the third positioning pin 3064 is not inserted into the positioning hole, and the photoelectric switch 307 senses the second sensing piece 309, then at this time, the output signal positioning pin is inserted into the second positioning hole 303. When the third positioning pin 3064 is inserted into the positioning hole, the output signal positioning pin is inserted into the third positioning hole 304.
[0050] The positioning pin and photoelectric switch 307 work together to accurately determine the angle of the rotating disk 301, thus enabling the corresponding work to be performed quickly.
[0051] When the output positioning pin is inserted into the first positioning hole 302, material loading can begin, i.e., the pallet is placed on the mounting bracket of the rotating disk 301. When the output positioning pin is inserted into the second positioning hole 303, the oil circuit can be connected.
[0052] The first sensing element 308 near the first positioning hole 302 is used to distinguish between the first positioning hole 302 and the fourth positioning hole 305. The second sensing element 309 near the second positioning hole 303 is used to distinguish between the second positioning hole 303 and the third positioning hole 304; this prevents the positioning cylinder 306 from malfunctioning and affecting the accuracy of the judgment result. If the positioning hole above the positioning pin is the third positioning hole 304, and the positioning cylinder 306 malfunctions, causing the second segment positioning pin 3063 to insert into the third positioning hole 304 while the third segment positioning pin 3064 is not inserted, then the photoelectric switch 307 will not sense the first sensing element 308 and the second sensing element 309. In this case, it will output a signal indicating that the positioning pin is inserted into the third positioning hole 304, and also output an error signal for the positioning cylinder 306.
[0053] The oil circuit connection structure 4 includes an oil circuit connection joint 401, a support plate 402, and a support frame 403. The oil circuit connection joint 401 is fixed on the support plate 402, and the support frame 403 is fixed inside the loading station body 1. A slide rail 404 is provided on the top of the support frame 403, and a third slider 405 matching the slide rail 404 is provided on the bottom of the support plate 402. The third slider 405 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 404. A third cylinder 406 is provided on the support frame 403, and the other end of the third cylinder 406 is mounted on the support plate 402. A fourth cylinder 407 is provided on the side of the support frame 403 away from the third cylinder 406. The fourth cylinder 407 is located below the support plate 402, and a limiting hole 4021 matching the fourth cylinder 407 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 402.
[0054] During oil circuit docking, the third cylinder 406 extends, driving the support plate 402 to move. The support plate 402 then moves the oil circuit docking joint 401. After the oil circuit docking joint 401 moves to the predetermined position, the fourth cylinder 407 extends, with its telescopic end extending into the limiting hole 4021 to limit the support plate 402, thereby limiting the oil circuit docking joint 401. The oil circuit docking joint 401 experiences significant pressure during docking. The cooperation between the fourth cylinder 407 and the limiting hole 4021 prevents the oil circuit docking joint 401 from shaking during docking.
[0055] In practical use, the rotating disk 301 rotates. When the output positioning pin is inserted into the first positioning hole 302, material can be loaded, that is, the pallet is placed on the placement rack of the rotating disk 301. After the material is loaded, the rotating disk 301 rotates. When the output positioning pin is inserted into the second positioning hole 303, the oil circuit can be connected. The third cylinder 406 extends, and the third cylinder 406 drives the support plate 402 to move. The support plate 402 drives the oil circuit connection joint 401 to move. After the oil circuit connection joint 401 moves to the predetermined position, the fourth cylinder 407 extends. The telescopic end of the fourth cylinder 407 extends into the limiting hole 4021 to limit the support plate 402, and then limit the oil circuit connection joint 401. The oil circuit connection joint 401 is connected. By quickly determining the angle of the rotating disk 301, the rapid connection of the oil circuit connection joint 401 is achieved.
